Chapter 33: The Price of Success
"Didn't you say you were making a short film, and how are you doing now?"
Ning Hao's words, Lu Yi didn't know how to answer for a while, remembering what Zhang Han had said before, Lu Yi asked a little curiously.
"It's just been filmed, and the funds behind it are insufficient, so we have to wait for the funds to process the post-production. For this short film, all the money I earned when I came back was thrown in. ”
When he was in school, Lu Yi later followed Zhang Han and them to earn an extra block outside, and only he was still studying honestly, and he didn't save any extra block, and now that he has entered the society, he feels that a penny can kill people.
"Well, how far are you? I have some money in my hand now, and I should have no problem lending you some. ”
Lu Yi still has some money left in his hand, and he will give Ning Hao enough sponsorship.
"I didn't make any experimental short films, I just experimented. Aren't you afraid that after I spend the money, I won't be able to pay off the bill?"
Ning Hao glanced at Lu Yi and asked.
He made this short film to accumulate experience for himself, and then think about what film awards to participate in to make a name for himself, it's really not to make money, and he can't make any money.
"I know, but you also know after four years of getting along, I don't like to think too much about human affairs, and I live a very simple life. Whether you get along with others or cooperate, it all depends on your own feelings. I think you're good, so I'm willing to lend you money. ”
Lu Yi smiled, he was such a person.
Straightforward, simple, a little clever, but not old in the world, never with malice to guess the people around him.
If you are deceived, you will only blame yourself for your bad luck, and then you will stay away from those who deceive you, and you will not be given a chance in the future.
Although life is very complicated, Lu Yi always wants to make his life simpler, good is good, bad is bad, so that there are not so many troubles.
Fortunately, he has always been an optimistic person facing life and a young man who loves to laugh.
Because people who love to laugh are generally not too lucky, so until now, he has not seen much dirty things.
People who get along well seem to be good, and they don't have so many calculations.
"Well, thanks. I still have about 10,000 yuan left to get this short film, and when it's ready, I'm going to participate in the college student film festival in the spring of next year to see if I can win an award. ”
Ning Hao thought about it, and felt that for himself, this 10,000 yuan was not difficult, and it would be good to work hard to earn money and return it to Lu Yi when the time came.
Lu Yi was willing to lend him money, which was a favor.
He is not a debtor, and he will definitely pay it back when he has money in the future.
"Guess who I am?"
The two were chatting when a guy next to him jumped out and suddenly blindfolded a man in a suit who had just gotten off the plane and was waiting for the bus.
Then another guy next to him quickly took the suit man's suitcase away.
Lu Yi and Ning Hao just looked at each other curiously, didn't say anything, and then prepared to get into Ning Hao's car.
They thought there were a few acquaintances playing some game, and they didn't think much of it.
After all, this is a public place, and there are so many people coming and going.
"Where's my box?"
Just as the two were about to drive away, the man in the suit suddenly shouted loudly, looking anxious.
The man who blindfolded him was gone, and his box was gone.
"Uh, that's okay too?"
Lu Yi looked at the man in the suit who was shouting curiously, and then asked Ning Hao.
After this scene appeared, Lu Yi's mind immediately popped up with a movie memory similar to this.
"Today's thieves are also keeping pace with the times, all kinds of routines, as the so-called road is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high. When you go out, you must be very careful, otherwise you will fall into their way if you are not careful. ”
Ning Hao glanced at the man in the suit with a little sympathy, shook his head and replied.
The two people with the box had long since disappeared into the crowd, and they couldn't help the man in the suit.
Airports, stations, and other places with a large flow of people, the environment is too complicated.
"When will your new movie be released? Brother Shi will sponsor you a few movie tickets! "Twelve Angry Men" is so good, I have watched it several times, I didn't expect your kid's first movie to be so good!"
After Ning Hao pulled Liu Chang to the hotel, he remembered Lu Yi's movie and asked.
He really watched "Twelve Angry Men" several times, putting aside the following trend and popularity, this movie is really good.
The design of the plot and the promotion of the plot can only be filmed by geniuses.
After a few years of classmates, he only knew that Lu Yi had a lot of good stories in his mind, but he really didn't expect that Lu Yi's movies were not bad.
Therefore, he is looking forward to Lu Yi's new movie.
"It should be released soon, after all, most of the work has actually been done. If it weren't for me going home, I guess I would have been able to confirm the release time. ”
From preparation to completion, the time period of the film is very tight and short, which is why it has become the current situation.
The speed of publicity is not as fast as the speed at which the movie is completed.
This movie is ready, and Zhang Xiaoya's publicity and distribution work has just begun.
In order to achieve the best release effect, it is natural to wait for the early publicity to be launched before it can be released.
"Well, I'll take you to eat hot pot first, and then we'll take you to the bar where I watched, where there are a lot of beautiful women. ”
After Lu Yi cleaned up, Ning Hao called him to eat outside.
When he arrived in the mountain city, he was the landlord, and he naturally arranged it here, although he was not very wealthy now.
"The most famous thing in the mountain city is the hot pot, if you don't eat hot pot here, it's better not to come! The place I take you to is the best and most authentic place that only our mountain city people know. ”
When Ning Hao went to eat, he didn't drive, and the two were going to drink, so it was inconvenient to drive, so he took the subway.
There are all kinds of hot pot restaurants along the way, which can be seen everywhere. Ning Hao saw that Lu Yi was paying attention to those hot pot spots, and replied with a smile.
"I planted a seed, it finally bore fruit, and today is a great day. Take the stars and give them to you, pull down the moon and give them to you, and let the sun rise for you every day......"
Ning Hao was originally chatting with Lu Yi while walking to the subway station, the two hadn't seen each other for a while, and there were a lot of things to talk about.
It's just that he hasn't entered the station yet, and he saw a group of old ladies watching the video and dancing in the square outside, looking at the two guys in the video who couldn't bear to look at him directly, Ning Hao couldn't help but be stunned.
"Uh...... Isn't this Zhang Han and Huang Bo? Why did the two of them sing?"
If I'm not mistaken, didn't these two guys make a movie with Lu Yi?
"Well, that's them. When I made the movie this time, I made a promotional video by the way, and this song is part of the promotional video. ”
Seeing the video in the square, Lu Yi was a little surprised.
