Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 5 Did you drink fake wine yesterday?
After half an hour.

Li Wenyu refused the suggestion to continue drinking and go out to play. When he steadied his pace and was about to take a taxi, Pang Bing excitedly said, "Director Li, let me drive you back. Taking a taxi is too inconvenient."

Li Wenyu did not refuse the small task of running errands.

On the way thereafter, he became increasingly calm and sober. When the car stopped on the roadside near Beijing Film Academy, he spoke, "Here's the script for you. Please prepare well. The heroine is a strong, capable, and independent-minded character who survives in a desperate situation. It's very positive and appealing."

"If you act well, it will be a masterpiece that will go viral!"

Pang Bing nodded repeatedly, promising to work hard in preparation, and then smiled, "Director Li, you have quite a few junior high school girls at Beijing Film Academy, right? Even big names like Yu Feihong and Jiang Qinqin? I'm really grateful for giving me this opportunity."

"Are you really not considering charging me one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand for this role? I can borrow money to reserve it, otherwise I have no confidence that I won't be snatched away by someone else."

Li Wenyu almost vomited blood. Holding hands and making ambiguous eye expressions was fine. After experiencing Aunt Qiong's setbacks, he definitely had to grow up, but spending money...

"I admire your looks and figure, not here to cheat you out of money. Let me be frank, if we succeed, it will be a battle for both of us to achieve fame and success. You lack this opportunity, and so do I."

"If I fail, I'll have to wait a few years before I have the chance to take on the director's chair again. You definitely don't want to be laughed at by Yan Zi, right? Remember this, improve your acting skills, and then we'll fight together."

As a reborn person and a time traveler, it is easy for him to rise and get opportunities. At the very least, he can use three months to raise his programming expertise to 100, and then make a small fortune by making a batch of game plug-ins.

This is the great era of legendary game creation and becoming the richest man!
Now these words are to put pressure on Pang Bing. Unlike the young actresses who came later... Pang Bing has acting skills.

The swallow was quite stimulating to her!

Fat Bing became even more energetic. "Director Li, I'm serious. Can you get the role so easily? You're too nice. No...how about we go out alone, watch a movie or something, and build up our chemistry?"

Small gains are useless, and the other party doesn't want the money, so she can only continue to use the beauty trick to give more. She is still struggling with the issue of how much to give.

Li Wenyu looked at Pang Bing speechlessly, lit a Red Plum and said with a smile, "Do you know why Brother Rong gave me the opportunity to direct?"

Fat Bing was surprised, "I asked you about it at the dinner table, and I asked you several times, including asking you about your first script... Didn't you say it was just luck, or something like that?"

She and her agent would definitely not miss this topic, especially since Sister Hua was once hailed as the number one agent.

Li Wenyu responded modestly at the dinner table.

He explained with a smile, "That script is for awards. After wrapping up filming, Brother Rong and Director Er Dongsheng are aiming for the Berlin International Film Festival or Cannes International Film Festival next year, aiming for Best Actor or nominations for Best Director or Best Picture. They have connections and are willing to spend money."

"If I go to Cannes, I still have a chance of winning Best Screenplay. If you can do a good job with Shark Beach and prepare for the start of filming smoothly, I will take you to Berlin or Cannes to walk the red carpet next year. If you don't prepare well, you will have no chance. All I want now is your acting skills."

Fat Bing was completely shocked, staring at Li Wenyu up and down in disbelief. After a few seconds, she grabbed Li Wenyu's Hongmei and threw it out of the window, then turned over and pressed him down. Such a handsome professional director is so talented.

I was already struggling with the scale, and she didn't suffer any loss in the kissing scene. The other party in Huanzhu Jimei only admired her. This kind of affirmation and touching feeling was also an emotional foreshadowing.

Was she foolish to believe what the other person said? Brother Rong personally called her and invited her to audition with Li Wenyu for the female lead, which was the most solid foundation of trust. Sister Hua also asked Brother Rong to do the same.

Zhang Guorong was nominated for Best Actor at Cannes!

Er Dongsheng was nominated for the Berlin International Golden Bear Award!!

Famous directors and superstars feel they can compete for awards, top international awards, but how many actors from the mainland have walked the red carpet?
…………

Ten minutes later, Li Wenyu got out of the car and gave Pang Bing the finger. Pang Bing hilariously retaliated with both middle fingers, and the two dispersed. Ten minutes of verbal sparring and then a hug were no big deal in the entertainment industry; every professional student had learned to film inappropriately at least once during their school days.

The new script and the new crew have begun, and Pang Bing’s morale and fighting spirit have also been raised. Now she just needs to work hard.

When things really don't work out, Li Wenyu will give her some help. Today, August 8, The Shallows will definitely be released during the Christmas and New Year's Day schedule, or it will be released during the Lunar New Year schedule.

……

A new day came. Li Wenyu looked at his attribute points that had accumulated to 4. He went straight to the gym before officially getting up. It was 62. This was to strengthen his physical strength, energy, and learning efficiency. On the contrary, the director was not in a hurry to improve. The crew of The Shallows was too small. A qualified director could shoot the film. Even with a director's ability of 80 or 90, it was impossible to turn The Shallows popcorn into a megalodon.

Fitness, health is the foundation of everything. There are a lot of water scenes in The Shallows, so as a director, he had to do some underwater photography. He also had to be careful of the danger of falling into the sea when following the heroine on a speedboat. Only when you are fit can you swim forever!

After lying in bed for more than ten minutes, adjusting to the slow pace of change, he went to the office building to ask for leave from his teacher. In one office, Teacher Zhang, who was in his 40s, heard him state his purpose. An elderly man on the subway looked at his phone with an expression on his face. "What did you say? You're a director... a project invested in by that superstar Zhang Guorong? Did you drink fake alcohol yesterday?"

No one says a screenwriter can't be a director.

The students admitted to the 99 class of literature, photography, fine arts, etc. all like to take directing courses, which is normal, but Li Wenyu has always been an unknown... Which is not right, many people think he should apply for the acting department.

This figure is even better than Xiao Ming and A Kun from the 96 class! And it's even better than the male students from the acting department of the 99 class.

But apart from this, my memory of Li Wenyu's studies in screenwriting and directing, his homework performance, etc. were not ideal.

Li Wenyu explained, "I submitted a script to Brother Rong in June. I mailed it to him. He liked it and has finished filming. Brother Rong said there is a chance to win the Best Actor or Best Screenplay award at Berlin or Cannes."

"My second script has received investment from Brother Rong, and it will be filmed in Hong Kong Island with a low budget. Teacher, please remember to keep it a secret for me. We can discuss other matters after the results are released."

Teacher Zhang was even more shocked. It had been a long time since Lin Luan had approved a long-term leave of absence. Even if there was no such big opportunity in the acting department, it was not uncommon for actors to take long leave as a minor in the television circle.

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you until the results come out. Whether your new project is successful or you win the award, you'll be honored with a 99th-level screenwriting degree."

"The end of August isn't far away."

…………

On September 2001, 9, Li Wenyu appeared in Hong Kong Island again and arrived at an office building. He was already in good shape (2/68).

It was his former assistant, Xiao Hu, who led him into the building. As soon as he arrived at Zhang Guorong's office, he saw Liu Dehua inside. Brother Hua had finally made it out of the bad movie machine, with "The Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" coming next year...

He is really starting to transform into an acting talent!
Zhang Guorong gave a brief introduction, and Li Wenyu also quickly asked for a photo and thanked Hua Ge for joining the guest appearance. He was one of the two passers-by that the heroine met during her surfing period. The other passer-by also made an appointment, and that was Wang Zuxian, the grocery shopping sister from Ma Dana.

The movie "Dream in the Garden" which he made a comeback after retiring for a few years was released at the beginning of the year. His cameo appearance was no longer the biggest gimmick, but he and Andy Lau's surfing together still brought back memories of the couple in God of Gamblers.

Next, we will wait for Pang Bing to come for an official interview and sign the contract, and then we can prepare for the filming.

The assistant director has already started scouting and selecting locations.

Li Wenyu even negotiated the publicity and promotion. Before the film was completed and the pre-release, he pretended that this project did not exist to avoid being disturbed by the outside world. He worked quietly and did not show up during the release period. There was only a poster with Zhang Guorong, Andy Lau, Joey Wong and Fan Bingbing.
