The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 125 Beijing meets Seattle

"Xue Xiaolu, professor at Beijing Film Academy, author and screenwriter of "Don't Talk to Strangers", director of the movie "Ocean Paradise" the year before last"

Xue Xiaolu smiled at Zhou You and stretched out her hand: "Mr. Zhou is really young and promising. I have heard many people mention it recently that the three of us are peers and are all university teachers."

Zhou You also admired him when he heard that he was this person. He said, "Don't talk to strangers." It was a childhood nightmare for many people.

Ocean Paradise is even better. It is a movie about autism and has high ratings. Unfortunately, it did not do well at the box office. It is considered a semi-artistic film.

Zhou You also stretched out his hand: "Teacher Xue, since we are colleagues, please don't call me Mr. Zhou, call me Teacher Zhou, otherwise I will call you Director Xue too, which is obviously out of touch."

Having a common identity in a strange situation is the fastest way to get closer.

"Okay, let's call you Teacher Zhou. Teacher Zhou has really become famous in the film and television industry recently. He has invested in several movies, which either won awards or were box office hits. Many people want to meet you." The investor turned out to be mainly a screenwriter.

She tried Ocean Paradise the year before last, but it failed at the box office, but she won a few awards, which was not a loss for her personally.

But it was hard to find investors. I relied on my own connections to attract some investment, but there were still many gaps.

There is now a small spread in the circle that Zhou You invests generously and doesn't care about anything, and is the director's first choice.

"Mr.

Many people want to invest in Zhouyou, but many of them have never heard of Zhouyou, have no impression of the script, and are unlikely to invest.

Those people are either on the street or they are scammers. If Zhou You doesn't understand anything, there is a real possibility of being deceived.

It's a pity that Zhouyou is cheating.

A few people were complimenting each other, and Sun Li was in charge of listening. It was also very interesting to listen. You and I were two different people in front of outsiders.

Now that I think about it, when I taught Zhou You how to learn the flute, I thought Zhou You was the one who took advantage of me. Maybe Zhou You looked at me as if I were a fool. Those little tricks were really too low-level.

After chatting for a long time, Miao Xia couldn't stand seeing Zhou You doing Tai Chi all the time. "Lulu, don't you want to see Teacher Zhou if you have something to do? It's time to speak up and let's help each other."

Xue Xiaolu was a little embarrassed when she got to the point. She was used to being a teacher in a university and was not familiar with social routines.

"I have written a script and am preparing to shoot a movie. The funds have been secured and the starring roles have been decided. I am still short of funds. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is interested?" he said while handing over the script.

Zhou You took it and watched "Beijing Meets Seattle".

I had watched this movie before when I was traveling around. After watching it, I felt that my perspective was wrong. It was incredible at first, but I didn’t know it until I got to know more about it in the sales field.

Reality is more exciting than fiction. Novels can't do without logic, but reality rarely has logic. It's just that many people repeat their lives day after day and cannot see the wider world.

This movie is good, and it can be regarded as a typical example of using small things to make a big difference.It successfully captured the female psychology, and many men were brought into the cinema by women.

Zhou You recalled while flipping through the script, and read it briefly: "How much is the total investment, and how much is left?"

"The budget was 3000 million, and now we're still a little over 1000 million short." Xue Xiaolu didn't prepare for how much investment she could get today. She just needed a few million, and the budget was based on the upper limit.

"How much did Mr. Xue invest?" Zhou You asked. There are too many variables in making a movie, but as long as the director is invested, it won't be too bad.After all, the interests are together.

"I also invested most of my fortune in it. Although my last movie won two awards, it didn't do well at the box office, so this time it's basically a burnout. If it doesn't work, I can only concentrate on being a teacher or a screenwriter." Xue Xiaolu said with a wry smile. .

Everyone who pursues his dream pays a heavy price. As a screenwriter, he always wants to be a director, writing, directing and not acting.

"Let's see. The script is very good and I like it very much. Since Teacher Xue has given up everything, I will also give my full support. How far are you still short? I voted for them all to save trouble." Zhou You also wanted to eat more.

Xue Xiaolu's hands trembled, and she almost dropped the cup in her hand. She stabilized herself for a few seconds before saying, "Teacher Zhou is really impressive, and there are no unfounded rumors in the industry. The budget is 3 million, and I invested 000 million myself. Several other distribution companies , channel, about 200 million.”

"If I have another 1 million, I believe I can make it. If I have 000 million, I can definitely make a masterpiece." After saying this, Xue Xiaolu gritted her teeth. After all, she also wanted to make a turnaround.

"Okay, no problem, just 1500 million." Zhou Youyou is now rich and wealthy. After all, he has just paid back more than 1000 million, and he is also buying stocks.

Xue Xiaolu stood up quickly. When the chair was pushed back, it caused a squeaking sound and almost fell over: "I didn't drink today, so I used a drink instead of wine. I finished this drink."

After saying that, he drank it in one gulp.

Zhou You also stood up: "Mr. "Go in"

"Okay, no problem, that's what it should be." Xue Xiaolu agreed immediately. A female supporting role was nothing, as long as she wanted a protagonist for this investment.

Miao Xia was sitting aside, but she didn't expect that she was so happy that she got another business.

"I didn't expect that there would be a reward for me as the middleman. Okay, then I will bring Sun Li to arrange music together, just in time to bring her into the industry."

When Sun Li heard that Zhou You wanted a female supporting role, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she immediately looked away because she knew that Zhou You must have another woman, and she knew of one.

Zhou You sat down and said to Sun Li, also to the other two people: "The female partner I want is for the daughter of my future doctoral supervisor. I am going to study for a part-time Ph.D., and I have found a supervisor. He is from Jiangcheng University. Professor, I didn’t expect that his daughter happens to be in the entertainment industry, and she is a graduate of your Beijing Film Academy.”

Sun Li was very satisfied when she heard that he even explained it to her. At least it proved that her status in his heart was quite important.

"Then is she in the capital now? If not, call her over and introduce her to Teacher Xue," Sun Li reminded.
Zhou You was reminded by Sun Li that it was indeed true, so as to avoid the trouble of introducing her later. The main reason was that Zhou You was not interested in Shi Wenxiu, so he subconsciously ignored her.

When a man misses a woman, he will naturally think of her.

If you can't remember it, then you have no idea!
