I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 28 Lu Jian
"Mom, I'm fine. I was just assisting in the investigation. I came out within an hour."

"Okay, okay, Mom, don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan leaned back on the sofa and let out a long breath.

During this time, when he answered the phone, he almost had auditory hallucinations.

"Qingshan, these people have gone too far. The Internet is full of news about you being caught betting on the World Cup. Chaoyang Branch's explanation to the outside world is that they did not report it at all and desperately tried to catch you betting on the World Cup."

Chen Yumo, wearing slippers and no makeup, walked out angrily from the study.

“They don’t care what they really want, they just want to see if it’s hot or not.

Now, even my mother, who doesn’t read newspapers or surf the Internet, knows that I was caught by the police for betting on the World Cup. "Wanqingshan slid down and said weakly.

That day, Lao Lao took the receipt back for inspection, and after adding the information Lao Li found from the tax bureau, proving that everything Wan Qingshan said was true, they closed the case.

When I gave the receipt to Wanqingshan, I vaguely nodded to Wanqingshan.After Wan Qingshan understood this, he promised the two of them that he would not break the news to the media.

The two of them thought about it and let it go. Who would have thought that as soon as they returned to Chaoyang Police Station, they would be surrounded by media reporters.

They repeatedly explained that Wan Qingshan was only assisting in the investigation, so the reporter let them go.

As a result, within an hour, news appeared on the Internet that the director of "Selection" had been arrested.

It was also accompanied by a photo of Wan Qingshan walking into the Chaoyang Branch accompanied by the two of them.

The next day, the headlines of several major news newspapers read in large fonts - Berlin's Best Actor made tens of millions betting on the World Cup and has been caught by the Chaoyang Branch.

As for the Chaoyang Branch’s explanation, not a single word was written.

During this period, Wanqingshan, which was already popular all over the world, instantly became famous all over the country. Even the aunt selling vegetables on the street knew that Wanqingshan had been arrested.

Then - Wan Qingshan's cell phone kept ringing, and relatives and friends called to inquire.

Even Chen Yanfeng called.

Suddenly, the mobile phone thrown beside the sofa rang again.

Wan Qingshan sighed, reached for his phone, and answered the call without looking at it.

"Hey!"

"What the hell, Qingzi, be careful, there are reporters downstairs at your house."

Wanqingshan walked to the balcony with a "swish" sound.

Downstairs, a few people were sneaking around at the street exits and flower beds.

Not far away, Yan Dong, carrying a bag, was on the phone and walking towards the downstairs entrance.

"Yan Dong, don't come up yet. Go buy some masks for me first."

Downstairs, Yan Dong immediately looked up and saw a person standing on the balcony of the building in the distance.

"Okay, I'll go buy it now."

Yan Dong hung up the phone, turned and left.

"Yu Mo, pack your things and go live in the courtyard for a while." Wan Qingshan walked back to the living room and said quickly.

"what happened?"

"I don't know where the reporter found our address. Now there are reporters downstairs. During this period, we have to avoid reporters, otherwise anything we say will make the news more and more popular."

Chen Yumo walked to the balcony in surprise and looked down, then turned back to the room to pack his things.

After Yan Dong delivered the masks, Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo put on masks and hats, dragged their suitcases, and walked out through the back door of the stairs.

No one has lived in the courtyard since it was bought. It has been covered with dust for so long.

So after arriving at the courtyard, Chen Yumo immediately went to buy daily necessities, while Wan Qingshan took Yan Dong to do some cleaning.

Wan Qingshan, who was wiping the table with a rag, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Hey, Yan Dong, why did you come to me?" Yan Dong, who was mopping the floor with a mop, patted his forehead.
"I'm a fool to work for you. If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it. I'm looking for something to do with you."

"Haha, now that I remember it, tell me what happened."

"I'm looking for you because of Lu Jian's grandson." Yan Dong said angrily.

"No, what happened to him? He makes you so angry."

"This kid is so inhumane. Ever since the news reported that "Selection" was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, he told the public that "Selection" was actually shot by him. It was just because you funded it that the director had your name on it."

When Yan Dong first heard about this, Wan Qingshan was still attending the film festival in Berlin. He was afraid of affecting Wan Qingshan, so he didn't tell Wan Qingshan.

I thought I'd wait until Wan Qingshan came back, but I didn't expect that as soon as he came back, something like this would happen.

Otherwise, some small media outlets would now start reporting on Lu Jian.Yan Dong prevented Wan Qingshan from being caught off guard when asked by the media.He planned to talk to Wan Qingshan after this matter passed.

Wan Qingshan was not angry, but laughed, "Haha, does anyone believe it?"

"Yes, there are quite a few people who trust him. The main reason is that he is the executive director and he knows everything about the crew. He has a nose and an eye for what he says. How can others not believe it?
Now the gossip media have begun to report that Lu Jian is the director and you are just in name.Fortunately, no one from the "Selection" crew agreed with Lu Jian's words, and you won another Best Actor Award.If you win the Best Director Award, I'm afraid it will be widely reported again. "

"Haha, after four years of college, how did I discover that Lu Jian is a talent? By the way, next, will any company ask him to be a director?"

Yan Dong immediately shook his head, "No, no one on the "Selection" crew responded to Lu Jian. Brother Cheng even refuted Lu Jian in the circle. He is a despicable and shameless villain. The bosses of those film and television companies are not stupid. If they are not sure If so, just ask him to be the director.”

"It seems that Lu Jian's attempt to draw water from a bamboo basket has failed. Now that the news about "Selection" is overwhelming, no one has asked him to be a director. After a while, when the popularity of "Selection" drops, he will have no hope." Wan Qingshan shook his head and smiled.

After winning the award, Wan Qingshan had already seen through Lu Jian before receiving a call from Lu Jian.

Therefore, he does not feel chilled by this matter.He just felt that Lu Jian was born in the wrong era. If it had been ten years later, Lu Jian would definitely have become a generational Internet celebrity, and there would definitely be the capital to hire Lu Jian as a director.

Suddenly, Wan Qingshan thought of something.

"Hey, Yan Dong, do you have any acquaintances in the Literature Department of the same class as ours?"

Yan Dong asked curiously, "Do you know anyone? What?"

"Please help me ask them if anyone is willing to write a script with me."

"Qingzi, you are going to make a movie again. What is the subject?" Yan Dong asked excitedly.

"What are you thinking about? The filming of "Selection" has just been completed. How can we shoot it again so soon? The main reason is that last time, when I was writing the script of "Selection", I lost a lot of hair.

Therefore, I want to find a few screenwriters, and then I will tell them a theme and let them write it, so that I don’t have to worry about being bald. "

If it wasn't for making a movie, Yan Dong would have no passion. He lowered his body and continued mopping the floor while casually saying,

"You have to talk about the conditions you give them first, otherwise I won't be able to tell them."

Wan Qingshan put down the rag and thought for a while, "Well, two thousand and five a month, I come up with theme ideas, and when they write scripts, they get a subsidy of one hundred per day. Also, they can also write scripts in normal times, and I like their ideas. The script will be given at the market price."

Yan Dong stopped mopping the floor, stood up and said, "Two thousand five, Qingzi, your salary is a bit low.

By the way, I have to ask you first, if you come up with a theme and they write the script, whose name will the screenwriter write? "

"You are worried about this. Don't worry, I am also from Nortel. I don't want to be embarrassed to go back to school. How can I cheat them. When the time comes, it will be calculated according to the co-writer."

Screenwriters who have just graduated are also struggling. They are worried that no one will read the scripts they write.You also have to worry about the script being snatched away by someone else and becoming someone else's work.

"Then the conditions are good. Let me ask you. Many people should be willing to come."

Wan Qingshan said immediately, "No, you don't need too many people, just three. I can't afford to hire more people."

"Okay, I'll help you find someone later."

The condition of co-writing is very attractive to newly graduated screenwriters.

Yan Dong found three people. When he heard that Wan Qingshan was looking for a co-screenwriter, he agreed without even asking about salary.
