After Lu Yong sold the software company, his mood has been sluggish, coupled with the big loss of the film "Lulu Youxing" that he supervised and directed, which caused the senior management of Gao Hao Film Investment to lose confidence in him, and then no longer reused.

As a result, Lu Yong became more and more depressed and miserable under the blows from both sides.

……

……

Two months have passed, and this evening is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve's Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lu Yong invited himself, Guo Yao's parents, and his brother Lu Sen to his home for a happy gathering.

Originally, everyone could gather in the restaurant, but Lu Yong insisted on celebrating the New Year at home, for which Guo Yao was very unhappy, and the reason was very simple, she didn't want to work hard to cook. Moreover, she also found that her husband Lu Yong, who was in his thirties, had changed and became very suspicious and difficult to get along with.

And at this moment, just as everyone was toasting to celebrate, the doorbell suddenly rang at the closed door, and then Guo Yao stood up and ran to the door, looking through the peephole on the door, she found that there were two people standing outside the door, namely Lu Yong's friend Ah Xiang, and Ah Xiang's boyfriend Tian Changqing.

At this time, Guo Yao opened the door and warmly welcomed the two into the house.

Guo Yao said, "Come on, come on, come and sit inside, and eat some together!" ”

Ah Xiang followed Guo Yao inside, and said, "I miss you and Lu Yong a lot, so ...... Just came over to take a look. ”

When Guo Yao heard this, she thought in her heart that Ah Xiang was not telling the truth.

In the blink of an eye, Guo Yao took the two of them to the table, among them, Guo Yao introduced Ah Xiang and Tian Changqing to several other people except Lu Yong, so when everyone got to know each other, they opened their hearts and talked about wine.

At this moment, Ah Xiang looked at Lu Yong and said with a smile, "Lu Yong, we haven't seen each other for almost two years, and I found that you have lost a lot of weight!" Especially this ...... face" Ah Xiang realized that her words seemed to touch Lu Yong's "wound", so she quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, my family Tian Changqing is preparing to make a movie, the script has been selected, and the director is missing, are you interested?" ”

Lu Yong hesitated, frowned and replied, "Aren't you afraid that the film I directed will lose money?" ”

"Smack!" Guo Yao, who was close to Lu Yong, gently patted Lu Yong's back and blamed, "You have a problem, if people ask you to be the director, you will talk about losing money, how unlucky!" ”

Tian Changqing hurriedly interjected, "Hehe, Brother Lu, you are too worried, besides, no director dares to guarantee that all the films he directs are blockbusters, aren't they?" ”

He also said, "I have one more thing to discuss with you, but this is a repeat of the same old tune, I want to invite you to invest in this film, I think you are more sure to invest in and direct this film than you are to run a software company, after all, you are an expert in film and television." Moreover, you can rest assured that as long as the film makes money, the investment share and director dividend will not be less, what do you think? ”

"This ......"

Lu Yong hesitated, firstly, because he knew that investing in the film and television industry was a money-burning business and very risky; Second, he found that Guo Yao was giving him a look, and it seemed that he didn't want him to agree to it.

Lu Yong thought of this and replied, "That's it, let me read the script first, if the subject matter is good, I am willing to direct, as for investing in filming...... Let me think again. ”

When Guo Yao heard this, she coughed three times in a row, obviously she was quite dissatisfied with Lu Yong's last sentence.

Although Lu Yong did not agree on the surface, he had a strong interest in investing in the film and television industry in his heart.

……

……

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Tian Changqing sent his confidants to send the script of the movie "Human Journey" to Lu Yong's home, and Lu Yong received the script, and after a few hours of preview, he decisively called Tian Changqing, he said that the script is very exciting, very impactful, the story is interesting and thought-provoking, and it is very suitable for him to direct.

In particular, Lu Yong also responded to Tian Changqing about investing in the film, saying that he is very optimistic about the film, so he will consider investing in the film, but because of the huge risk of investing in filmmaking, he still has to think carefully before making a decision.

……

……

On March 20, Lu Yong's six-year contract with Gao Hao Film Investment expired, and this contract stipulates that artists are not allowed to participate in the filming of other film projection companies in any form during the contract period, which has always made Lu Yong feel very unhappy.

And the reason why Lu Yong agreed to Tian Changqing to direct the scene "Human Journey" has proved that Lu Yong wants to become a free man and is unwilling to renew his contract with Gao Haoying, who lifted himself to the sky and filmed on the ground.

On March 21, Lu Yong, who had been drained of his talent, officially broke away from Gao Hao Film Investment and started a new journey under the false retention of boss Gao Jun.

However, Lu Yong will usher in the most severe challenge in his life in the next journey, that is, he will risk 20 million yuan to invest in the play "Human Journey".

However, he only had more than 9 million working capital on hand, which could not achieve the expected goal. Therefore, he thought of using the real estate and logistics company as collateral to borrow money from the bank.

Moreover, Lu Yong did it from his relatives and friends from agreeing to Tian Changqing to invest in the film until he took out a loan from the bank, of course, including his wife Guo Yao and Wu Xiaodong, a partner of the logistics company.

It is foreseeable that once the film is released and the box office is poor, Lu Yong will have no shame to face his family and friends, so Lu Yong's mental pressure has reached the brink of collapse.

……

……

In July, Tian Changqing, the owner of Bronco Film Investment, announced that the financing plan for the movie "Human Journey" ended here.

Next, the boss Tian Changqing completely handed over the preparation of the entire film to Lu Yong to complete, so Lu Yong, who is also a producer and director, took the salaries of many people by himself, which made the crew envious.

However, where did they know that Lu Yong didn't want to take on so much work, but when Lu Yong thought that he had invested a huge amount of money for the play "Human Journey", he always felt very uneasy if he didn't personally deal with these big and small things.

However, a person's energy is limited after all, and it is impossible to work for a long time, so Lu Yong thought of finding a diligent one; capable; And a trustworthy friend, as an assistant director, helps him coordinate the work. For example, looking for actors, contacting artists, drama management, photographers and other personnel to form a crew, and selecting location filming sites.

In the end, this "fat gap" fell into the hands of Ma Xiyang, who had been "unemployed" for two years. The reason why Lu Yong chose Ma Xiyang is that he values his work ability; The second is to help this best friend, who broke his leg and became lame because of filming the year before last.

……

……

At the beginning of September, the actors and crew of the play "Human Journey" have all been recruited. So, at noon the day before the play started, Lu Yong invited the assistant director Ma Xiyang, screenwriter Liu Hongbo, and the leading actors Guo Yifeng, Ma Wenli and others to a barbecue restaurant in Sanlitun, Chaoyang District, to eat and chat.

During the banquet, Lu Yong, whose face was blue, coughed while coughing because of a cold, "Tomorrow "Human Journey" will be launched, I hope everyone will twist into a rope and must complete the filming within the expected time." Of course, you may have heard that I love to lose my temper on the set, but I hope you can understand that I only treat things and not people, so please don't hold grudges. ”

Ma Xiyang hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes, Director Lu's tantrum is needed for work, and it is also for the film to be a big hit, I personally understand this very well!" ”

When Lu Yong heard this, he looked at Ma Xiyang on one side, and was stunned for a moment before speaking, "Brother Ma, I see that you have been in a good mood recently, is there a happy event coming?" ”

Ma Xiyang blushed and said ashamedly, "That's the case, I paid off the 70,000 yuan I owe Du Fang, so ...... I feel so much lighter. ”

When Lu Yong heard the word "Du Fang", he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, your mention of Du Fang reminds me of a lot of past events, I calculated, we haven't seen each other for more than four years, is he okay now?" ”

Ma Xiyang sighed and replied, "How can I say it, he was okay in the past few years, but he has been miserable in the last two years!"

"Oh! What do you mean by that? Lu Yong became even more curious.

Ma Xiyang explained, "That's the case, the year before last, he and Liu Mang each took out a loan of 6 million and founded a company, specializing in the purchase of foreign second-hand electronic products. However, Du Fang's father-in-law was very powerful, and he helped Du Fang pay off the loan. ”

Lu Yong asked again: "What about Liu Mang?" ”

When Ma Xiyang heard this, he sighed again, "Alas, he was miserable, he committed suicide because he couldn't pay off his huge debts." ”

"What!" Lu Yong was stunned, he couldn't help but think of the fact that he had also borrowed a huge amount of money from the bank to invest in the play "Human Journey", so he was afraid that he would become the second Liu Mang.
