Bro, you handle the camera work, I'll take care of the female lead.

The announcement of Chen Fei receiving the film support fund was completed quickly.

It was mainly Lao Tian who made the decision.

Moreover, the amount is not very large.

20 RMB is a lot for an ordinary student, but for a department head like Tian Zhuangzhuang, it's just a drop in the ocean.

When the directing students found out that it was Lao Tian who made the decision, they all wilted and hung their heads, looking like frostbitten eggplants.

Although some people complained behind his back, no one made a fuss about it anymore.

Time passed day by day.

The National Day holiday is here in the blink of an eye.

9 month 30 number.

After finishing the last class of the morning.

Everyone excitedly packed their things and headed out of the classroom.

"Phew! Finally, it's vacation time!"

"My National Day is here!"

"I'm going to sleep in all day tomorrow."

"I miss my mom's braised pork knuckle."

Chen Fei quickly packed his laptop bag, slung it over his shoulder, and headed out.

The young heiress Jing Tian had already taken leave to go to the film set, so Chen Fei hardly saw her at all throughout October.

Chu Yuxun, on the other hand, was always clinging to him.

That morning.

Inside the classroom, Chu Yuxun wore a beige long-sleeved top paired with black casual slim-fit trousers, and a Hello Kitty bag slung across her waist.

Two beautiful pigtails hung down her fair and delicate neck to her shoulders, revealing her smooth forehead.

He crossed his arms and gripped the shoulder bag straps.

Chu Yuxun bit her lower lip, her voice soft and sweet: "Class monitor, I have to go home, I probably can't go to the film set with you~~"

Chen Fei turned to the side and smiled, "Spending time with family is still the most important thing."

"When will you turn on your equipment?" Chu Yuxun asked cautiously.

"Let's go with the 3rd. Preparations will take time."

Chu Yuxun blinked her big eyes: "Then when I come back, can I visit the set?!"

"Of course, as long as you have time." Chen Fei smiled slightly.

"Thank you~"

Chu Yuxun smiled shyly, her face slightly flushed as she lowered her head.

Chen Fei was speechless.

It's not like you're blushing over a teapot.

The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the teaching building.

Just then, Chu Yuxun's phone suddenly buzzed in her handbag. Chu Yuxun nervously took out her phone and answered it. Her originally warm face instantly darkened: "Okay, I know, Mom. I'll be at the door soon. You and Dad wait a moment."

After saying that, he hung up the phone looking unhappy.

"Your parents are here?!" Chen Fei asked.

"Um."

Chu Yuxun pouted and nodded.

"Then you go ahead, I happen to have something to do too."

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?!"

"Are we... are we friends now?!" Chu Yuxun's eyes flickered as she looked at Chen Fei with a mixture of expectation and worry.

Chen Fei's expression was complicated. He took a deep breath and smiled, "Of course."

Chu Yuxun's eyebrows curved into crescent moons, she gave Chen Fei a bright smile, and skipped and hopped away into the distance.

Watching Chu Yuxun hopping around, Chen Fei was filled with mixed emotions. If only she could stay this cute forever.

After watching Chu Yuxun leave, Chen Fei turned around and went back to his dormitory.

...

In the dormitory.

Zhang Ruoyun was sitting on the bed chatting with Guo Kai.

He saw Chen Fei come in.

"Oh, Producer Chen is back?!" Zhang Ruoyun joked with a smile.

"Hey guys, what are your plans for National Day?!" Chen Fei asked.

Zhang Ruoyun crossed her legs and rested her head on the pillow: "What else can I plan? Play some games, catch up on some sleep, and then come with me to meet some friends."

"Damn it! You're just pretending!" Chen Fei laughed and cursed.

Guo Kai smiled shyly: "As you know, I just signed a contract with Enlight Media, and they plan to let me go on some tours with the company's seniors during the National Day holiday so that I can experience the company's atmosphere."

So it might be difficult for you to find me during this National Day holiday.

Zhang Ruoyun cursed, "What kind of lousy company is this? They're so short-staffed that they're even dragging in a newly signed student like you as a conscript?!"

"Do you think we're like rich kids like you, lying at home all day and resources just come to us?!" Chen Fei smiled and glanced at Zhang Ruoyun, then looked at Guo Kai encouragingly, "Kai, Enlight Media is pretty good. You should seize this opportunity. Although they are a startup, they definitely won't let you down in the future."

Enlight Pictures was founded on October 15, 2004, while its parent company, Enlight Media, was founded in 1998, initially focusing on television program production and training hosts.

Enlight Pictures released its first film, "Confession of Pain," last year, announcing its entry into the film industry.

Currently in a phase of rapid expansion, if Guo Kai seizes the opportunity, his future development may not be worse than that of artists from large companies like Huayi Brothers.

In terms of both strategic vision and overall planning, Wang, the founder of Enlight Media, far surpasses the two founders of Huayi Brothers.

"Yes!" Guo Kai nodded vigorously.

Zhang Ruoyun smiled and said, "Then let's wait patiently for good news from Producer Chen!"

"No problem, no problem."

Chen Fei smiled and pressed his hand down.

...

in the afternoon.

In a Sichuan restaurant on the outskirts of Beijing.

Jiao Junyan, Wang Taili, Han Qiuchi, photographer Sun Yuan, Zhu Guofu and other members of the main creative team were all present.

Today is a meet-and-greet with the main cast and crew of "Old Boys".

Everyone gathered together to chat.

"I heard that our movie even received a film support fund from Beijing Film Academy?!" Han Qiuchi, who plays Bao Xiaobai, gossiped.

He was a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, so he knew how stringent the application requirements were for the film support fund for students.

Wang Taili looked at Jiao Junyan: "Really?"

Jiao Junyan nodded with a smile: "It's true. It's said that the head of the directing department made an exception for him."

"Brother Monkey, it seems we made the right choice coming here," Zhu Guofu muttered to himself.

Sun Yuan ignored him.

His expression became noticeably more serious.

As the group was talking, Guo Fan and Chen Fei, who were the main characters, walked in with smiles.

Everyone immediately stood up.

Chen Fei and Guo Fan clasped their hands in apology: "Sorry, sorry, we were stuck in traffic on the way here."

The group waved their hands modestly.

"Then you'll have to punish yourselves with three drinks later," Jiao Junyan said with a smile, trying to lighten the mood.

"Of course." Chen Fei nodded in agreement and called the waiter to start serving the dishes.

Everyone took their seats.

As soon as he sat down, producer Chen Fei smiled and took control of the situation: "First of all, thank you all for your trust in me and the director. It is fate that we are all gathered together. I hope that in the time to come, we can help each other and strive to launch the project as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, director, Monkey King and I will definitely be fine," Zhu Guofu, a portly man in his late twenties, patted his chest and promised.

Chen Fei asked with a laugh, "If Brother Sun is the Monkey King, then aren't you Pigsy?!"

Sun Yuanle said with delight, "That's why I say the producer is amazing. Look at his belly, isn't it just like Pigsy from Journey to the West?"

A burst of laughter erupted inside the room.

Even Guo Fan, who is usually serious, blushed.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Chen Fei steered the conversation to work: "I won't say much more, today is the 30th."

"Everyone, take a break on the 1st and 2nd. Use the time to finish up your work. We'll officially start filming on the 3rd."

"So urgent?!" Wang Taili exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Fei explained with a smile, "It's a low-budget short film, so the sooner it's finished filming, the sooner it can be released."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
