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

2:30 p.m.

On a sunny afternoon after the rain, the sky was so clear it was almost transparent, as if it had been washed by clear water.

After eating and drinking his fill, Guo Fan went back to his dormitory to rest first.

Chen Fei and Zhang Ruoyun walked along a path on campus. Zhang Ruoyun's eyes held a hint of resentment: "This is the big director you were talking about?!"

Undergraduate degree in law.

Department of Graduate Management.

He doesn't seem like the type to be a director at all.

Chen Fei smiled but didn't say anything.

At this point, a director without formal training is indeed not well-regarded.

Because directing is about passing on traditions.

If you want to get into the directing department, you first need to have connections in the directing department.

It turns out that the directing department is full of slackers.

Many of the great directors who came after him, such as Chen Sicheng, Xu Guangtou, Guo Fan, Ning Hao, and Jiaozi, did not have formal training in acting.

Since the turn of the millennium, the directing department of Beijing Film Academy has produced almost no decent directors. Instead, other departments have upheld the reputation of Beijing Film Academy.

Shen Ao and Lü Xing are both nobody right now.

Seeing that Chen Fei remained silent.

Zhang Ruoyun then steered the conversation back to business: "By the way, Dafei, that girl named Jing Tian in your undergraduate class comes from a very powerful family."

"If we team up to scam her, and her family finds out, won't they cause us trouble?"

Chen Fei corrected, "How can this be called cheating?! This is called friendly help between classmates."

"You're trying to get something for nothing!"

Zhang Ruoyun complained.

"Most people's first pot of gold isn't clean; they have too high a moral compass. They won't make money in this industry!" Chen Fei reminded Zhang Ruoyun with a smile.

Wasn't this silly girl fooled enough in her previous life?!

Anaconda.

The Warring States Period.

From Vegas to Macau

New Police Story 2013.

"Great Wall".

Each of her films has a bigger budget than the last, yet she hasn't caused any trouble for anyone.

Zhang Ruoyun laughed and scolded, "Then you bastard will definitely make a lot of money in the future, because you have absolutely no morals!"

"Do you even need to tell me that!"

Chen Fei retorted confidently.

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

...

the other side.

In dormitory 403 of the Beijing Film Academy's acting department, female undergraduate students.

Jing Tian, ​​Chu Yuxun, Chai Biyun, Lu Shan and several other girls were lying on the bed, chattering about their upcoming studies and life.

Her voice was melodious and pleasant, like a lark singing.

Everyone is taking a nap right now.

Their outfits were very revealing; Jing Tian wore a pink spaghetti strap nightgown, while Chu Yuxun wore a loose white crop top and black tight-fitting shorts.

The remaining two were also wearing close-fitting pajamas.

Her fair and tender arms and long legs were thus completely exposed to the air.

The enclosed dormitory was filled with the glow of spring, and a sensual atmosphere permeated every corner of the dormitory.

Everyone chatted leisurely.

Chai Biyun, who is from the same hometown as Jing Tian, ​​asked, "Tian Tian, ​​you have a day off tomorrow, where are you planning to go?"

Jing Tian rested her arm on the soft pillow, revealing a bright face: "Sister Shanshan found me a movie. I guess I'll have to talk to the director and screenwriter about the script first."

Chu Yuxun, the youngest among them, said enviously, "Wow, Sister Tian, ​​you're amazing! You're already making movies so quickly."

Lu Shan sighed, "Sigh, I just can't find common ground with a rich woman like you."

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian's face showed embarrassment.

Chai Biyun laughed and changed the subject: "Alright, alright, let's stop talking about Tian Tian and talk about the boys in our class."

When it comes to topics with a hint of color...

Everyone was no longer sleepy.

"I don't think the boys in our class are anything special," Lu Shan complained.

Chai Biyun: "I think Chen Fei, the temporary squad leader during military training, was pretty good. At least he seemed like a very upright person."

"Yes, yes, Chen Fei is so thoughtful and gentle, just like the older brother next door." Chu Yuxun nodded excitedly in agreement.

Lu Shan chuckled and teased, "Oh, you two aren't already smitten, are you? Military training just ended, and you're already fighting over men?!"

Chu Yuxun's face flushed slightly.

Chai Biyun laughed and scolded, "Your thoughts are truly filthy! Can't I even praise someone?!"

"By the way, Sweetie, what do you think of Chen Fei?!" Lu Shan pressed.

Jing Tian sat up, gently biting her pink lips as she thought for a moment: "A few days ago, he asked me to borrow money, saying that his cousin was going to make a short film and invited me to be the female lead in it."

Chu Yuxun exclaimed enviously, "Wow! They want you to be the female lead in a short film?!"

Chai Biyun asked, "Who is his cousin? Is he a graduate student in directing?"

Jing Tian smiled and shook her head: "No, he's a graduate student in the management department, named Guo Fan."

"Management Department?!"

The three girls were stunned.

Lu Shan cautiously reminded her, "Sweetie, you have to be careful, don't let him fool you."

"We're all classmates, it shouldn't be that bad, and besides, it's only 200,000, it's not much." Jing Tian's eyes were clear.

Several people nearly fainted.

That's only 200,000?!

Forget it, I really can't reason with you rich people.

"Ding-dong".

Just then, Jing Tian's phone rang.

Looking down at his QQ account, he saw a message from Chen Fei.

"Sweetie, I've sent you the script."

Jing Tian replied, "I can lend you the money, or even invest in it, but I might not have time to act in your and your cousin's short film."

"You've got a chance?!" Chen Fei asked.

Jing Tian asked in surprise, "How did you know?!"

"I was just guessing."

"You guessed right." Jing Tian smiled politely and sent a thumbs-up emoji.

...

Chen Fei's dormitory.

Chen Fei was sitting in front of the computer chatting with Jing Tian when Zhang Ruoyun peeked out from behind him.

Another roommate, Guo Kai, went out to eat.

When I saw Jing Tian agree so quickly.

"Holy crap, she agreed?!" Zhang Ruoyun's eyes widened.

"I haven't even made my appearance yet..."

Chen Fei stood up with a smile, patted Zhang Ruoyun on the shoulder and said, "That's why I say, the first thing to do in the film and television industry is to be thick-skinned and not be afraid of what others say."

Secondly, you need to be bold and dare to exaggerate; if you only have ten thousand yuan in your pocket, you should dare to say you have a million.

"But we'll have to pay back the money we borrowed," Zhang Ruoyun reminded her.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

A confident glint flashed in Chen Fei's eyes.

Zhang Ruoyun didn't know where Chen Fei's confidence came from, but since Chen Fei was so certain, he didn't try to discourage him.

It's just 200,000.

Even if they lose everything, they will definitely be able to earn it back in the future.

...

That evening.

Chen Fei sent the script for the short film "Old Boy" along with the key storyboard shots he had drawn to Guo Fan via Tencent's file transfer service.

"Cousin, take a look first, and while you're at it, complete the other storyboards. We can start filming after the National Day holiday."

Guo Fan accepted the document and replied "Received".

After doing all this, Chen Fei opened the group chat and glanced at the class group.

The boys and girls were having a lively discussion. There were still more than two weeks until the National Day holiday, and some people had already started talking about what to do after the holiday.

Some people are preparing to visit their senior classmates on set, some are planning to explore the areas around Beijing, and some couples are openly showing off their affection in the group chat.

This is the undergraduate program in the performing arts department.

Many people have already started dating during military training.

Chen Fei is different.

Right now, all he wants is to make money quickly and secure the female lead for the short film.
