Many people think that Jia Zhangke is a director who deliberately sells China's tragedies and dark side to foreign countries, because his focus groups are all the bottom of society and some marginalized groups. They always feel that the content of his movies has smeared and lowered China's image.

But Wu Yuchen feels that movies are meant to let a hundred flowers bloom. There must be popcorn commercial blockbusters that do not require brains and are full of flowers. There must also be directors like Lao Jia who focus on the bottom class and film social development issues.

He won't say how much he likes Lao Jia's movies, but he won't yell at him to get out of China.

After all, the people at the bottom of China have always made up the majority of the population, and there is room for such a director who focuses on the issues of the people at the bottom. Many things in the real world are far more magical than in movies.

He wrote Jia Zhangke's 4,000 yuan in the notebook, and felt Jia Zhangke's enthusiasm for movies. Wu Yuchen was also touched in his heart, and assured him loudly:

Senior brother, don't worry, I will definitely lead everyone to make a decent movie!

Inspired by Lao Jia, basically everyone present donated generously, including Chen Er and Fatty Wu.

It ranged from a few hundred to more than a thousand. In the end, more than 20 people in the house together managed to collect 30,000 yuan!

Wu Yuchen made an agreement with everyone on the spot that everyone would gather after dinner tonight, collect the money, and hand it over to Lao Jia, whom everyone trusted, for safekeeping.

He understands very well that now everyone has exploded the numbers with their enthusiasm. Maybe some people will regret it after their minds calm down in a few days. After all, dreams are sometimes not as good as bread, although most students are too thin-skinned to do anything that they regret. , but it is better to pool the money quickly to avoid unnecessary complications, and also to allow everyone to stop thinking too much and focus on filming the movie.

Moreover, Wu Yuchen has begun to exercise his power as a director, assigning tasks to everyone, and starting preparations for the crew. The first task at the moment is to let everyone use their personal connections and get the filming equipment for the crew first.

Walking on the campus path where he came from, Wu Yuchen said to Wu Shixian and Chen Er beside him: Thank you!

These two people were dragged over by him, and they ended up investing money in the crew.

Haha, who impressed me with your script~

That's right, buddy, I don't care about the situation but the person. If your script is rubbish, I won't even pay a penny if you treat me to dinner!

Wu Yuchen wrote down the two people's thoughts and said no more.

Fatty Wu asked: Wu Yuchen, what are you going to do now?

Looking for the male protagonist.

Protagonist? Aren't you looking for a camera?

Wu Yuchen smiled slightly when he heard this: Oh, the actor and the camera can do it together!

Fatty Wu became curious in his heart as to who the leading actor Wu Yuchen was looking for would be. According to his understanding, the male protagonist is a ray of light in the whole car, representing good qualities and cannot defeat the robbers, so he does not need to be tall and powerful, it is best to be fair and clean, the kind that makes people feel good at first sight. .

There was a knock on the door at the office.

Please come in.

A handsome young man with long, middle-parted hair raised his head, with a thin face and delicate facial features, and an artistic and gentle temperament.

Wu Yuchen immediately smiled and said hello:

Senior brother, I didn't bother you~

Wu Yuchen looked at Huang Lei's young appearance, which could defeat a group of young talents in later generations. He also thought of Chef Huang's fat round face twenty years later, and sighed in his heart that time is like a butcher's knife. The knife urges people to gain weight.

From an image point of view, the current Huang Lei definitely meets the requirements for a leading actor, and his acting skills are not to mention. He is more than enough to make short films, so he is an excellent candidate.

And if Huang Lei can be invited to be the leading actor, then there is no need to worry about equipment problems, they can all be borrowed from the school.

In 1995, Huang Lei worked as a teaching assistant in the acting class at Beijing Film Academy. The acting class was not only a course in the acting department, but also a required course in the directing class. Wu Yuchen was the class representative, so he and Huang Lei were quite familiar.

Huang Lei is not much older than them, so he usually doesn't act like a teacher and lets these students call him senior brother.

Huang Lei looked at the student in front of him who was no less handsome than himself and couldn't help but smile and said:

Come in, what's going on in class?

Wu Yuchen walked up to Huang Lei with a smile and said with a hint of flattery:

Senior brother, it's not about the class, it's about me asking you something!

Huang Lei was a little surprised, and when he saw Wu Yuchen's attitude, he laughed and said:

Whatever it is, let's talk about it first. If I can help, I will definitely help.

I wrote a script, please help me take a look at it first~ Wu Yuchen said and handed over the script.

Hey, I wrote my own script not long after I entered school!

Huang Lei took it with a smile, thinking he wanted to taste the script. However, the teacher appreciates this kind of thoughtful students, so he is happy to help him read the script and make suggestions to help him improve.

Huang Lei looked at it very seriously, and not too fast. From a relaxed expression at the beginning to a serious expression, until he finished reading the last sentence, he was still immersed in the story, and his heart was shocked. He just felt that the whole story was fascinating. Shocking yet thought-provoking.

Especially the actor's smile at the end is even more memorable.

After a moment, he raised his face with a look of surprise on his face: Did you really write this script?

Wu Yuchen nodded: Brother, what do you think?

Huang Lei immediately wanted to praise how good it was. Even a professional screenwriter, not to mention a student, might not be able to compile this story. Full of spiritual energy came from the script.

However, such a clever story is probably the work of a new student. The veteran screenwriter has too many rules.

But when the words came to his lips, Huang Lei thought that Wu Yuchen had just entered school, so he couldn't praise him too much to avoid making him proud.

That's right, I didn't realize that you still have this skill!

Huang Lei also didn't expect that Wu Yuchen, besides his handsome appearance, would also have such ideas. He thought that this Beijing Film Academy director class seemed to be about to produce a good talent.

Wu Yuchen smiled first, and then immediately said:

Senior brother, you think it's good too. Why don't you come and help us and be the leading actor for us?

Huang Lei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pointed at Wu Yuchen with his finger, and joked:

Good boy, that's what I had in mind!

Can you afford my salary?

In 1990, Huang Lei starred in the great director Chen Kaige's Walking and Singing, which made him famous. He also acted in several TV series while he was in school. Last year, he participated in Midnight Song starring Zhang Guorong. After this year's broadcast, he became a big star. Well received.

Therefore, despite the fact that Huang Lei is just a small assistant coach at Beijing Film Academy, the salary is not low. There are still agencies in Hong Kong and Taiwan begging him to sign a contract and produce a record.
