Chapter 4: A Lot of Money
Lu Yuan used to have low self-esteem.
In rural areas, they are single-parent families, and they are very poor, and they have been looked down upon, excluded, and isolated since childhood......
Can this not be inferior?
But people are so strange, so contradictory.
The more inferior a person is, the more proud he is.
Lu Yuan is such a contradiction.
After a moment of silence in the "Meet You" café, there was a round of applause.
But no one cheered, and the atmosphere of "To Alice" was still there, so people couldn't bear to break the peace.
Lu Yuan picked up the napkin next to him and wiped the sweat on his hands and forehead, then carefully threw the napkin into the paper basket, and bowed to everyone very elegantly.
Maybe it was the addition of that piano song, Lu Yuan, who didn't look very handsome, actually emitted a hazy brilliance in Wang Jinxue's eyes.
Wang Jinxue also began to applaud.
This piano piece really deserves her applause.
Lu Yuan was very proud in his heart, and he could even be said to be so happy that he couldn't find the north.
But he knew that he could not be too proud, not only could he not be too proud, but he had to pretend to be holy and reverent.
Low-key, modest, as if doing a small thing.
If the only flaw is that Lu Yuan is not wearing a tuxedo, it looks a little bit worse.
Lu Yuan actually regretted it too.
There is actually a second-hand tuxedo in that clothing store, although it looks a little quaint, but it looks really good.
It's a pity that I picked a suit.
Why?
Because the suit is a hundred dollars cheaper.
All right.
A penny is hard to beat a hero!
Pretending to be forced is pretending to be forced, and now there is a very helpless and speechless problem in front of Lu Yuan.
He was short of money.
"One more song!"
"One more song!"
"Play this one again!"
"Play it again!"
"Come ...... again"
The applause slowly subsided, and after it subsided, I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and then the whole café was noisy again.
The girl who played the piano just now also looked up at Lu Yuan, hoping that Lu Yuan could play another song.
At the same time, there is also Wang Jinxue.
Lu Yuan looked at everyone again, then shook his head.
"No, I still have something to do today, and besides, I'm not very good at playing the piano......" Lu Yuan showed a smile, very honest and sincere.
Lu Yuan felt that properly revealing his sincere nature would not affect the pretense, and it could even be the icing on the cake.
???
??
At this moment, Wang Jinxue couldn't wait to take off her shoes and slapped Lu Yuan's face so hard that Lu Yuan didn't even know his parents.
Not very good at playing the piano?
What does this mean?
What do you mean?
Do you think I can't even play the piano?
Wang Jinxue suddenly felt that Lu Yuan's face was hateful, and the little bit of brilliance that had been there suddenly dissipated and became ugly.
And then......
"You're really not very good at playing the piano?" Wang Jinxue suddenly took a step forward and stared at Lu Yuan.
"Well, I'm not really good at it. ”
"So what are you good at!"
"I said I was a screenwriter and director!"
Wang Jinxue's gaze wanted to be sharp, so sharp that Lu Yuan subconsciously thought of retreating.
But......
He can't.
If you take a step back in front of everyone, then the momentum that you have been pretending to be for so long just now will be gone.
Therefore, Lu Yuan can't retreat!
dignity makes him have to look at Wang Jinxue.
Can Lu Yuan still play?
I can play!
At least three more songs!
However, he can only play three songs in total.
You can't just take it all out and pretend to be forced, right?
It's not going to work.
Moreover, the most important thing now is not to pretend to be a good force, but to sell the script for a good price.
Priorities still need to be clear.
"Oh, let's talk about the details of the investment. Wang Jinxue retracted her gaze, turned around and continued to walk towards the second floor.
"Okay!" Lu Yuan followed behind Wang Jinxue and walked to the second floor under everyone's regretful gaze.
Seeing that both of them had left, and the hall was so quiet, the girl subconsciously sat back on her piano chair and played her skillful "Neil River Maiden", but no matter how she played, she found that the melody of "To Alice" always echoed in her mind.
It was like a wave of brainwashing, hitting her wave after wave, leaving her in no state.
There is no state at all, and the melody that comes out naturally begins to scatter.
She was annoyed.
Of course, Lu Yuan, who was drinking coffee on the second floor, didn't feel any change in the melody.
He didn't care about any of that.
He's excited right now.
His script can finally deceive a fat sheep, and he seems to really want to earn the first pot of gold in his life.
Low-key, low-key!
Calm, calm!
He reminded himself repeatedly.
"How much do you think it will cost to make this film?"
"Naturally, the more the merrier, you won't regret it. ”
"Are you sure that your movie will be a big hit, or will you be able to keep your capital at bay?"
"I can. ”
"I want to remind you that the film market is very depressed right now, and 80% of the films are losing money. ”
"That's them, that's not me. ”
"You're confident. Wang Jinxue felt that Lu Yuan's body was radiating that brilliance again!
"Yes. ”
Assertive?
Lu Yuan never existed.
Because Lu Yuan doesn't understand the current market and movies at all, if he really wants to say it, he just doesn't have half a bucket of water.
However, Lu Yuan felt that it didn't matter.
He wants money.
Just take a sum of money, as for whether to pay or not, it's a matter of his business.
When he heard the sentence that 80% of movies lose money, Lu Yuan felt very relieved.
Everyone loses money, so it doesn't matter if I lose money too!
He was at ease.
However, he could not show such emotions.
And he had to be confident enough, smart enough.
Wang Jinxue stared at him.
He also looked at Wang Jinxue.
"A million, I'll invest a million. ”
"One million ......" Lu Yuan was a little shocked.
"Yes, I don't have a lot of money at my disposal right now, only a million. Seeing that Lu Yuan's eyes were a little dull, Wang Jinxue thought that she had invested less, and her face flashed slightly with a hint of ruddy, and then turned into firmness.
The cost of making a movie for a million is indeed too small.
The quality of the filmmaking is one thing, but so is the publicity.
Both complement each other and are indispensable.
Million......
It's really hard to make a good movie.
It's not enough.
"I see. Lu Yuan's fingers trembled slightly.
Originally, he only wanted to fool 200,000 or 100,000.
I didn't expect it to reach a million!
This was completely beyond his expectations.
In fact, he hadn't seen so much money since he was born.
He suddenly felt like he was going to get rich.
He remembered that evening, when he was running in the sunset.
It was his lost youth.
In the future, he will be able to drive the car at sunset without having to run with his feet.
That's success!
At this moment, he wants to scold very much, the youth raised by the son of a bitch.
Successful people?
That's the concept.
"Can you shoot it?" Wang Jinxue was suddenly a little worried, "Why don't I find someone to borrow some?"
"Do you believe in talent?" Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Wang Jinxue.
"???" Wang Jinxue froze.
What's going on?
"A million, combined with my talent, is enough to make the film shine, and that's my bank card number. Lu Yuan smiled and took out an agricultural bank card very quickly.
He will put gold on his face!
He used to be a simple, honest, spare tire-level good guy who would blush when he told a lie.
But from now on, he is no more!
He's going to change!
Piano music continued to play downstairs.
The café guests continued to listen quietly to the piano.
Lu Yuan smiled brightly.
He thinks his smile is wise.
But the leaves between his teeth betrayed him.
"What about the contract?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan.
"Contract?" Lu Yuan was slightly stunned.
"Aren't you ready for a contract?"
"I'm ready, I'll put it in the company, and it's very detailed!" Lu Yuan's face was red and his heart didn't beat, "You give me a mobile phone number, and I'll give it to you tomorrow?"
"Don't bother, I'll go to the company with you to get it. ”
"Huh? This ......"
"Isn't it possible?As an investor, I think I'm qualified to visit the company on your contract to confirm, right?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan.
She was a little bit interested in Lu Yuan now.
“......”
Lu Yuan panicked!
Firm?
Where did I come from?
At this moment, Lu Yuan looked out the window with deep eyes.
Sunlight outside the window......
He remembered running in the sunset.
He remembered his lost youth.
When he thinks of his youth, he thinks of ......
Two flowers?
No!
Others are two flowers, he seems to be two explosions......
My name is Lu Yuan.
I'm pretty square now.
What am I going to do?
