Chapter 83: Does it look good?

A moment later, Wu Yu walked from the back to the stage and smiled, "Teachers, do you have any suggestions or guidance?"

"Little Wu, this film of yours really makes us old bones feel emotional!"

"Nothing to say, I've already praised you with Teacher Hou just now. When this movie of yours is broadcast, I'll call the children in my family to watch it together."

At this moment, the person among the people present who was smiling the brightest was Director Gu. He didn't expect that a movie that only invested 300,000 yuan would actually film such a good movie.

"Little Wu, you really gave our Movie Channel a surprise!"

Hearing this, Wu Yu smiled and said, "Director Gu, it's enough that the Movie Channel is satisfied. It just so happens that there is something I want to discuss with you."

"You just say it."

"I want to send the movie abroad for awards, do you think it's okay?"

This time, the investor of "Together" is the Movie Channel. To send it out for selection, it must go through official channels. Wu Yu couldn't do it privately himself.

"Of course no problem! It's no problem wherever you want to send this movie!" Director Gu patted his chest directly. With the subject and theme of "Together," there is definitely no one to block it, and the official side will definitely pass it with a green light.

At this time, Hou Keming also spoke: "I suggest you sign up for the Tokyo International Film Festival. Neon is very fond of this kind of delicate emotional film. "Together" should be exactly their taste."

Wu Yu also smiled and echoed: "Teacher Hou, you thought of the same thing as me."

Neon began to enter an aging society from the 70s, and by '94, the number of elderly people doubled, having completely entered an aging society.

Especially after the bubble burst, Neon entered the lost decade. Now their entire society has also emerged with many voices reflecting on social structure problems, such as the concern for aging and the indifference of social human feelings.

Therefore, it caused such a sensation and high box office after "Not One Less" was released in Neon in his past life. Now it is just right for "Together" to participate in the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Wu Yu sent away the people who came to watch the movie, and at the same time, after agreeing on the matters of "Together," he rushed to Li Xiaoran's side to check the situation.

After entering Li Xiaoran's room, he saw her sitting on the sofa with her mouth pouting and her hands hugging her knees. There was also an envelope on the table, which contained banknotes.

Wu Yu walked over to look and asked with a smile:

"How much did you earn?"

"Two plays, 4,000."

"Isn't this quite good? You can earn so much just after going to film, why are you still so unhappy?"

"I don't want to film anymore," Li Xiaoran muttered.

Wu Yu sat down beside her, watching her with interest, looking forward to her follow-up.

"In my first play, I played a maid. As soon as I went in, they asked me to kneel down. After I knelt down, they pointed at my nose and scolded me, asking if I knew how to act. Later, I served tea to the heroine. As soon as I took a step, I was stopped by her. She didn't even pay attention to me, directly told the director that I was blocking her light, and then it was another scolding."

"I don't understand acting, but you can say it, right? You come up and don't explain anything, just start scolding people. This is too disrespectful!"

When Li Xiaoran said this, she felt very aggrieved. Because of her excellent talent, she had been smooth sailing since she learned to dance as a child. Even if she skipped class and the teacher scolded her, she still protected her because she felt sorry for her talent. She occupied one of the three recruitment spots of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe before she graduated. She was simply the proud daughter of the dance academy. Where had she ever suffered such grievances?

"I made a vow that night when I came back that I would never film again."

"Then why did you go again?"

"The landlord came to urge the rent the next day..."

Hearing this, Wu Yu almost laughed out loud and hurriedly covered it with his hand: "And then?"

"Then I took a play from a Taiwan big crew, "The Jade Doll of the Bodyguard", starring He Jiajin and Ye Tong. I played the 18th female lead."

Wu Yu thought to himself that your starting point is already much better than a bunch of extras. It is true that being beautiful has an advantage.

"The treatment in their crew is particularly obvious. Wanwan actors use special makeup artists, and mainland actors use others. I am still at the bottom of the mainland actors..."

Actually, she still had extras below her, but extras are not qualified to use makeup artists.

"There is an old lady in the crew called Sister Wanjun, who only touches the heads of the male and female leads, and ignores everyone else. After I finished filming, I made a vow in my heart that if I film their play again next time, I must let Sister Wanjun comb my hair!"

Wu Yu looked at Li Xiaoran's stimulated appearance. Sure enough, people only have the strength and potential in their hearts stimulated after they have experienced it themselves.

"The entertainment industry is very realistic. Do you know why I asked you to take the exam for a film academy? If you report that you are from a film academy, people can't point at your nose and scold you like they treat a grandson, and your starting point and treatment will be much higher than extras."

Li Xiaoran didn't speak this time and nodded.

Wu Yu said with a smile:

"If you want to go to school, there are three choices. A four-year undergraduate degree, a two-year higher vocational class, and a 1-year advanced study class."

"What's the difference?"

"A four-year undergraduate degree has a complete set of training systems, detailed and complete, and the recognition and gold content are the highest. The two-year higher vocational class actually has similar courses, but compresses the content of four years into two years."

"However, both of these require taking the college entrance exam. If you want to apply, you have to take next year's exam."

"Then what about the advanced study class?"

"The 1-year advanced study class is completely focused on practical skills and teaching, with classes on the two days of the weekend. The threshold is not high. If you want to apply, just take the tuition fee and sign up before the start of the semester."

Both the Central Academy of Drama and Tao Jingying Academy have advanced study classes. When they were first established, they were aimed at professional actors for advanced studies, and they produced great gods, such as Chen Daoming, Wei Zi, and some acting bones like Zhang Guangbei and Li Chengru also participated in advanced study classes.

But later, the threshold dropped significantly, and ordinary enthusiasts could sign up. It also produced some stars, such as Yang Xue, who played Jiang Yuyan.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked:

"Then are the teachers of the advanced study class the same as other classes?"

"The same."

"Then I choose the advanced study class. I don't want to wait until next year."

Wu Yu nodded. He estimated that Li Xiaoran's character would choose this way. However, the teachers of the advanced study class in this era are still quite conscientious, and what they throw out is basically dry goods. As long as you are willing to learn, you can learn things. It's just that the quality of the students in the advanced study class is definitely not comparable to the undergraduate class, and there are naturally few who can stand out.

In fact, by comparison, the atmosphere of the higher vocational class among these three classes is the worst. Because the students in the advanced study class are all people who are interested in themselves or have pursuits for performance, while many in the higher vocational class come to mix a junior college diploma or halo.

For example, a woman with some beauty holds a certificate and says she graduated from the Central Academy of Drama or Tao Jingying Academy, then the price of being kept or sold is different. Later, pictures often appeared on the Internet of luxury cars parked at the gates of the two schools to pick up female students, but in fact, most of them were higher vocational classes.

Afterwards, Wu Yu asked: "Did you tell your parents that you quit your job?"

Li Xiaoran shook her head: "I want to make a name for myself before telling my parents."

Wu Yu understood, then said: "Okay, then I'll pay the registration fee for you first. Consider it borrowed from me. Pay me back when you make a name for yourself in the future."

Li Xiaoran didn't refuse this time, raised her chin, stared at Wu Yu beside her with her big eyes blinking, and suddenly asked: "Why are you so good to me?"

Wu Yu felt that Li Xiaoran's words seemed to have the meaning of testing, but after experiencing the matter of Ceng Li last time, he had some concerns instead and didn't dare to be reckless again. He paused and said with a smile:

"Hehe, you are my sister!"

Li Xiaoran wrinkled her nose, then suddenly leaned over and pecked Wu Yu on the side of the face: "Consider it interest for borrowing your money~"

After saying that, Li Xiaoran smiled mischievously, then happily got up and went into the kitchen.

Wu Yu touched his face, feeling a bit conflicted in his heart. Ceng Li over there was still somewhat distant. Afterwards, he sighed. Hesitation is because of lack of confidence, or because the current status is not high enough!

If he had the status of Chen Kaige in the country, he wouldn't hesitate. Regarding the affairs of Chen Kaige, Ni Ping, and Chen Hong, many people in the circle know about it, even Ni Ping herself pretends not to know, just thinking about seeing it as not seeing it.

Has anyone said anything about Chen Kaige? That's all saying a big director has ability, aren't literary and elegant guests just like this?

If Wu Yu wants to achieve Li Xunhuan's goal, he must show more talent and constantly improve his status, and he must launch a constant impact towards the wealthy!

That night, Li Xiaoran, who finally returned after filming, finally played the finale of "Legend of Sword and Fairy."

"What kind of broken game is this! How could Zhao Linger die! My Zhao Linger!"

Li Xiaoran dropped small pearls with red eyes, while patting the keyboard.

Wu Yu handed her a tissue beside her and said silently: "Didn't your Yueru live?"

"But Zhao Linger is gone! What kind of dog planner is this! How good would it be if the three of them were together!"

Wu Yu handed her another one: "There is also Anu~"

"Go to the side!"

The next day, a private room in a restaurant.

As soon as Wu Yu pushed the door open, he saw Tu Honggang sitting there with his legs crossed, full of spirit. After seeing him, he smiled and waved at him generously: "Eh, brother, come, come, come, see what you want to eat, order whatever you want."

Wu Yu knew that he should have earned a lot in the past six months, and didn't stand on ceremony with him. However, how much can two people order? Four dishes and one soup are enough.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tu Honggang said:

"Brother, the "Soul of Chinese Martial Arts" MV you made is quite good. I want to film an MV for "Farewell My Concubine" now, and I thought of you."

Wu Yu smiled and asked: "Thank you, Brother Tu, for still remembering me. Why didn't you look for Teacher Zhang Guoli? I heard that many singers look for him to film."

Wu Yu remembered that Tu Honggang and Zhang Guoli were old partners in his past life. This "Farewell My Concubine" MV was also filmed by Zhang Guoli, which was considered quite good at the time.

Tu Honggang waved his hand:

"Hi, don't mention it. I went to find Old Zhang, but as soon as I found him, that kid Zhang Mo in his family caused trouble at school, making Zhang Guoli have to go back to deal with family affairs first."

Hearing this, Wu Yu understood in his heart. But to be honest, he had no interest in filming MVs, so he said:

"Brother Tu, the MV I gave you last time wasn't actually filmed, it was edited. If I really film it, I might not be able to do it. After all, I haven't filmed this thing before!"

"You definitely can. I also watched the short film you filmed at the Prince Gong's Mansion last time. You can film a movie, an MV is not easy for you!"

This made Wu Yu unable to refuse. Mainly, he felt that Old Tu was quite good. Anyway, he had also seen the MV of "Farewell My Concubine" in his past life. It wouldn't be a problem to spend a day or two making it according to that.

"Brother Tu, how do you want to film it?"

Seeing Wu Yu agree, Tu Honggang smiled and said:

"I come from a Peking opera background. I had ideas about this "Farewell My Concubine" before. I want to add Peking opera elements to it. The scenes of Farewell My Concubine must be there, with the dominance of the Overlord and the tenderness of Concubine Yu..."

Tu Honggang poured out all the ideas in his mind like beans.

"Brother Tu, do you want all these effects?"

"I want them all!" Tu Honggang said decisively.

Wu Yu felt that if it was really according to what he said, the version Zhang Guoli filmed for him in his past life was really good, including everything he wanted.

"Brother Tu, 50,000 yuan definitely can't film the effect of "Soul of Chinese Martial Arts". I have a preliminary idea to tell you."

"You say."

Wu Yu didn't want to waste his brain either, so he simply told him the planning of the original version of "Farewell My Concubine".

"Good, good! Just do as you say, I'll prepare when I go back!"

After separating, Wu Yu went directly to Li Xiaoran's home:

"Sister Ranran, I have a job here, the heroine of the "Farewell My Concubine" MV, 3,000 yuan, are you coming?"

"Really? Of course I'm coming!" Li Xiaoran was short of money. Seeing her happy appearance of not being able to help jumping up, Wu Yu also curled his lips.

The heroine of the original "Farewell My Concubine" MV was actually Yin Qiaoqiao, and because of this, there was a scandal with Zhang Guoli, saying that she hooked up with Old Zhang during the filming and was discovered by Deng Jie. Wu Yu could be considered to have helped Old Zhang!

Actually, it's just an MV, who isn't filming it? Of course, he looked for Li Xiaoran, who was closer to him.

And first save more filming experience for Li Xiaoran, so it will be more convenient for her to take plays while she is in the advanced study class. Wu Yu planned to provide her with some opportunities after she studied for a year in the advanced study class. Otherwise, as a newcomer who knows nothing now, even if she is given a good opportunity, it will likely be wasted.

Speaking of which, Ceng Li is not in Beijing, otherwise she was originally from a Peking opera background, and she should be the most suitable to go filming.

There is nothing to talk about in the MV filming process. With the preparation of props and so on, it was finished in two or three days.

A few days later, Tu Honggang looked at the newly produced MV playing on TV:

It started with the scene of Concubine Yu shedding tears. Opening the script, the story of Farewell My Concubine was told. Then he led the extras to start beating the war drums of ancient China majestically, and the word "Overlord" was printed on it.

The scene of ten thousand horses galloping flashed in the sky, and just a few scenes brought people to the distant ancient battlefield, as if Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, was standing in front of him.

The strong drum beats, plus the sonorous and powerful lyrics, made people feel hot-blooded as soon as the song started. In the picture, Li Xiaoran's various soft dance movements were also just right, complementing the domineering Tu Honggang.

After the MV was played, Tu Honggang showed joy and applauded:

"Too good! I really didn't find the wrong person. Go, call the younger sister-in-law together, I'll treat you to a midnight snack!"

"Brother Tu, the two of us..."

"Hi, what are you shy about? Can't I see what relationship you two have! If you like it, chase it. Why are we big men cowardly?" Tu Honggang patted Wu Yu and educated him.

Wu Yu couldn't say what relationship he had with Li Xiaoran, just shook his head.

Seeing this, Tu Honggang didn't ask any more questions, drove his newly bought car, and took Wu Yu and Li Xiaoran to a barbecue restaurant in Xizhimen.

At the barbecue restaurant, Tu Honggang called for a bunch of things until Wu Yu and Li Xiaoran stopped him.

After a few chats, Tu Honggang smiled and asked Li Xiaoran:

"Xiaoran, brother asks you something, do you have a partner?"

Li Xiaoran stopped peeling peanuts in her hand and said generously: "No!"

Tu Honggang laughed and gave a thumbs up:

"Look at our brother, his appearance is handsome, the things he films are good, and he can write songs and compose music. His talent is nothing to say! Don't you consider it? You'll miss this opportunity if you pass this village!"

Wu Yu was caught off guard by Tu Honggang's sudden attack and coughed several times.

Li Xiaoran glanced at Wu Yu beside her and said to Tu Honggang with a smile: "Perhaps he didn't look at me~"

After saying that, Li Xiaoran lowered her head to peel peanuts again.

Tu Honggang looked at Wu Yu's expression. He wasn't a fool, knowing that things were not what he thought at the beginning, and he might have said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the subject: "Eh, why is this barbecue served so slowly today!"

After saying that, Tu Honggang walked directly to the front desk, escaping the awkward place.

Tu Honggang walked to the front desk and asked: "Boss, why hasn't our barbecue been served yet?"

"Sorry, yours isn't roasted yet."

Tu Honggang looked at the table on the side and pointed at it:

"They came later than us, why was it served first?"

Before the boss could speak, a man at the table pointed at spoke dissatisfiedly first:

"Who are you pointing at?"

"What does it have to do with you who I point at? Can you manage me urging for dishes!"

Old Tu wasn't scared, and retorted from a high position.

"Try pointing at me again?!" The man stood up directly, his mouth crooked and angry.

"Fuck, I'm pointing at you, you B-cub, what's wrong!"

After Tu Honggang left, no one spoke at the table, only the sound of Li Xiaoran peeling peanuts.

Wu Yu was thinking about Li Xiaoran's words just now, when he heard a loud clatter not far away.

Both of them hurriedly looked up, only to see Tu Honggang overturn a table, kick a person to the ground, and then turn around and run back to the direction of their table.

Seeing this, Wu Yu hurriedly got up. On one hand, he protected Li Xiaoran, and on the other hand, he didn't know what Tu Honggang meant by running back, whether to fight or run. If he was running away, he would immediately pull Li Xiaoran and run quickly. After all, the other side looked like there were many people.

Tu Honggang jumped over in two or three steps, braked urgently, had already taken out a bunch of keys from his arms, swished and stuffed them into Wu Yu's arms, and shouted:

"Don't worry about me! Drive the car away quickly! Just bought it!"

These words made Wu Yu laugh and cry for a moment. It turned out it was for the new car!

After Tu Honggang finished speaking, he picked up a folding table beside him and turned around to rush back: "Your grandfather!"

Wu Yu looked at Tu Honggang, who was as brave as a god of war, and then looked at Li Xiaoran beside him, and pulled her to walk out of the store.

After sitting in the driver's seat and starting the car, Wu Yu thought that Old Tu didn't ask him if he could drive, but maybe it was to avoid implicating the two, which was really quite righteous.

Li Xiaoran sat in the passenger seat and said slightly anxiously: "What should we do? Will Brother Tu be okay? I see there are many of them!"

Wu Yu drove the car out more than 100 meters and stopped, then hurriedly took out his phone to call the police.

After making the call, Wu Yu originally wanted to go back to help, but he was afraid that something would happen to Li Xiaoran alone, so he could only pray for the police uncle to come quickly.

Maybe Wu Yu's call worked, or maybe the shop owner called the police immediately. After waiting for less than 5 minutes, several police uncles entered the store.

This made Wu Yu and Li Xiaoran breathe a sigh of relief. Then he drove the car back. After stopping on the opposite side of the road, he leaned to the door of the store and looked. The store was messy, there were broken wine bottles on the ground, and six or seven people, including Old Tu, were squatting by the wall with their heads in their hands, accepting the reprimand of the police uncle.

Wu Yu also saw Old Tu. His face seemed to be fine, there were some footprints on his clothes, and it didn't look like a big problem. On the contrary, one of the other side seemed to have his head opened by him, and blood was flowing out of his forehead.

Old Tu also saw Wu Yu at the door at this time, shook his head at him, and winked at him to leave.

The police at the door asked Wu Yu: "Do you know them?"

Wu Yu shook his head: "I don't know, I'm just watching the fun."

He understood Old Tu's meaning. If he got involved, he would be taken back and locked up for a night tonight.

"What's so fun to watch, go back quickly in the middle of the night!"

Wu Yu smiled at the police uncle, turned around, and walked back to the car.

"How is Brother Tu?"

"I see nothing wrong, I'll call his company people again and let them solve it."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's okay, Brother Tu is quite good, just sometimes his temper is a bit violent."

After making the call, Wu Yu smiled and said: "He just has this character, otherwise how could he sing "Farewell My Concubine" so well? People and songs are one!"

After saying that, Wu Yu started the car again and took Li Xiaoran back.

The summer wind coming in from the car window brushed Li Xiaoran's face, bringing a trace of coolness, gentle and comfortable. The two didn't say much along the way, as if they had returned to the awkwardness at the dinner table just now.

Downstairs, the car had been turned off. Wu Yu was about to get out of the car when he saw Li Xiaoran beside him keeping her head down:

"What's wrong?"

"This seat belt seems to be stuck, it won't open."

"Let me see."

Wu Yu leaned his head over, pressed the seat belt button repeatedly, and it took a long time before a click sound came.

Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to lift his head, his eyes inadvertently swept into Li Xiaoran's neckline.

Li Xiaoran's short-sleeved neckline was a bit low today. From Wu Yu's angle, it was simply unobstructed. This towering big snow mountain made him lose his mind for a moment, lingering.

"Does it look good?"

Li Xiaoran's voice woke Wu Yu up. As soon as he raised his head, he met her eyes. The originally pure and agile big eyes seemed to reveal a trace of charm at this moment. Both of them looked directly into each other's eyes, and a wonderful atmosphere filled the air.

The next moment, a pair of men and women embraced each other by coincidence. ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
