Chapter 2: Gold fell from the sky, the script for 'Love Through 33 Days'!

In the car.

Re Ba herself didn't know how she had just said that.

Mo Ge wouldn't be thinking dirty, would he...

Thinking of this, Re Ba's face also flushed involuntarily.

Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Its full name is Mo Du Xi Ju Xue Yuan.

Many relatively famous stars in the circle graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy, such as Hu Ge, who rose to fame from Chinese Paladin, Lu Yi, who played Zhuge Liang in the new Three Kingdoms, Ren Zhong, Lei Jiaoyin, Chen He, etc.

Of course, besides stars, there are also many well-known directors.

As for Lin Mo.

He is about to start his fourth year.

He ranked first in his directing major courses.

After all.

In his previous life, he had been an actor for over ten years, so he naturally had a deep understanding of directing.

Because he was also preparing to transition into directing later.

Despite acting for over ten years, he never became a big star, so he had to try switching careers.

Moreover, nowadays, web dramas and short dramas can make money.

He also prepared to get started on it.

As a result, who would have thought?

He actually transmigrated!

Here.

After Lin Mo and Re Ba parted ways.

He planned to go to Teacher Wang's house.

Although there was still a year until graduation.

But many directing major students had already begun preparing to shoot their graduation projects.

Likewise.

Lin Mo was no exception.

Well, Teacher Wang called him yesterday, saying he wanted to chat.

Lin Mo wasn't visiting Teacher Wang's house for the first time.

He knew the way well.

He bought a bag of fruit and then went to visit.

He pressed the doorbell.

From behind the door came the warm and affectionate voice of Teacher's wife Li Li: 'Xiao Lin is here!'

'Greetings, Teacher's wife!'

'Your teacher is currently catching up with an old classmate!'

Li Li said while bending down to find slippers for Lin Mo.

Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly stepped forward: 'Teacher's wife, I can get it myself, you don't need to bother.'

'Oh dear, Xiao Lin, you're being too polite.' Teacher's wife Li Li laughed as she straightened up, 'Coming to our home is just like coming to your own home, don't be formal.'

After entering the house.

He then saw his own teacher chatting with a middle-aged man.

'Old Teng, this is my prized disciple, Lin Mo!' Teacher Wang introduced proudly.

Teng Hua Tao heard this, turned around, smiled, and extended his right hand: 'Lin Mo, hello. Old Wang has never stopped praising me in front of you, saying you are talented and full of potential. Today I see you, and indeed your reputation is not undeserved, you are impressive!'

Upon hearing Teng Hua Tao's name, Lin Mo's heart stirred, and he also extended his hand: 'Director Teng, hello. I really like the drama "Nest" you directed; it left a deep impression on me.'

Upon hearing this, Teng Hua Tao's face flickered with a complex emotion, he gave a bitter smile and waved his hand: 'Those are all things of the past, no need to mention them.'

That's right.

The drama 'Nest' was indeed created by Teng Hua Tao; this TV drama was extremely popular back then, achieving extremely high ratings when it aired.

However.

Lin Mo knows him, but not because of that drama.

But rather, in later times, Director Teng directed a famous movie called 'Mo Du Fortress.'

What can be said about Teng Hua Tao? He's quite odd.

He can produce hit works like 'Nest' and 'Love Through 33 Days'.

He can also produce trash like 'Mo Du Fortress'.

Ever since he produced the hit drama 'Nest', people in the circle thought he was about to take off.

But in the years after, his dramas got worse and worse, each one more trashy than the last, with ratings dropping.

Well.

Recently he again prepared to shoot a drama, but couldn't find any investors.

When people heard that Teng Hua Tao would be directing, they were scared off and dared not invest.

Moreover, this time Teng Hua Tao is even bolder.

He actually decided not to film a TV drama but to switch to a movie.

He can't even make a good TV drama anymore, so who would believe he could make a good movie?

So this is also one of Teng Hua Tao's recent worries; he happened to come to Mo Du to seek investment, passing by here, so naturally he wanted to catch up with old friends and vent his frustrations. (Once again, declare: parallel world, the Teng Hua Tao here differs in background from the real one.)

Just like that.

Lin Mo quietly listened to Teacher Wang and Teng Dao chatting on the side.

He occasionally interjected a couple of sentences.

But soon.

He heard an important piece of information.

As it turns out, Teng Dao wants to make a movie this time because he got a great script.

Exactly, it's "Love in 33 Days".

Lin Mo remembers this film very deeply.

It's absolutely a dark-horse movie.

Moreover, it's a typical low-investment, high-box-office film.

If I remember correctly.

Back then, the film's total investment didn't exceed ten million, but its total box office reached an astonishing 350 million.

It was even rated as one of Huaguo's top ten excellent love movies for the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up.

Now...

Surprisingly, no one is investing in this film.

Good fellow.

Lin Mo exclaimed, "Good fellow!"

Isn't this like gold falling from the sky?

If he invested in this film, he'd take off in no time.

He must stay calm, calm...

If it weren't at Teacher Wang's house.

Lin Mo would have to smoke a cigarette to calm his nerves.

He had a meal at the teacher's house.

On the way back.

Lin Mo then took out his phone and started chatting with Teng Dao off and on.

For example, he asked Teng Dao some professional knowledge.

Meanwhile, Teng Hua Tao felt quite fond of this junior schoolmate and the proud disciple of his old classmate.

They chatted on.

Lin Mo then got to the point.

"Teng Dao, how much more funding does your film still need?"

At the same time.

On the other side.

On the way back to the hotel.

Seeing the message, Teng Hua Tao couldn't help but be stunned.

What does that mean?

Could it be...

Lin Mo wants to invest in his own film?

Lao Wang never told him about Lin Mo's family background.

Could the other party be a second-generation rich kid?

Thus, Teng Hua Tao, holding a sliver of hope, replied: "Just a little bit more, 4 million."

Actually.

For the film "Love in 33 Days," he had never managed to secure any investment.

Moreover, it's just a romance film, doesn't need much investment—around 5 million is enough, and he can at most put up 1 million himself.

Of course.

Teng Hua Tao didn't take this to heart, thinking Lin Mo was just asking casually.

Here.

Lin Mo saw Teng Dao's reply.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Teng Dao, you're not being honest.

"Love in 33 Days" total investment never exceeded ten million; it's probably only six or seven million. You tell me, is that just a little short? I think it's off by a hundred million!

Lin Mo plans to borrow money from Re Ba.

Whatever he can borrow is fine.

Anyway, as long as he invests in this film.

He'll skyrocket!

Even if the script differs from his previous life, he's seen this film, so he can still give advice—after all, he's one of the investors.
