Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

Liu Yifei then introduced her three roommates to Xu Heng, and also introduced Xu Heng's three roommates to her own roommates.

Xu Heng greeted them with a smile, and Sun Haidong and the other two consciously sat down at the table next to them, giving up their seats.

"Senior Xu Heng, do you have a girlfriend?"

As soon as Liu Jing sat down, she asked directly.

She's mainly afraid she won't have the courage later; she's already incredibly nervous!

Not yet!

Xu Heng shook his head.

"So, do you think I can do it?"

Liu Jing asked again.

Xu Heng looked puzzled: "What can you do?"

Liu Yifei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh. But then she realized that it wasn't right, so she could only pretend to be serious to cover up her embarrassment.

Zhou Yang and Wang Jia quickly realized that Xu Heng had clearly refused.

Liu Jing also realized what was happening at this moment, and her face immediately turned rather ugly.

Although I knew I would fail, I still felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to ask any further questions.

Fortunately, Xu Heng added, "I don't have any plans to be in a relationship right now; my focus is on my career!"

It was a small but significant consolation and a way out for her.

Xu Heng then turned to Liu Yifei across from him: "I actually have something to discuss with you!"

"What is it?"

Liu Yifei was somewhat puzzled.

It's worth noting that she and Xu Heng rarely contacted each other in private.

Even after filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", their relationship improved even more than before.

Of course, if Xu Heng takes the initiative to contact her, she will definitely be willing to chat with him.

But if Xu Heng doesn't take the initiative, she won't contact him either.

At most, I'll send a short message of greetings during holidays, unless something really happens.

"I'm planning to make a movie, and I'd like you to play the female lead."

Xu Heng said directly.

Liu Yifei was immediately taken aback.

"You're going to make a movie?"

However, after asking, she found that she wasn't actually that surprised.

Ever since she heard Xu Heng's evaluation of Zhang Yimou's "Hero", she knew that Xu Heng was actually very ambitious and would one day become a director and make his own movies. She just didn't expect that day to come so soon!

Liu Yifei's three roommates, along with Xu Heng's three roommates who had been eavesdropping, were equally astonished to hear that Xu Heng was going to make his own movie!

……

"Of course I can play the female lead, but I need to see the script first, and then there's the payment. How much are you going to pay me?"

Seeing Xu Heng nod, Liu Yifei, who had calmed down, said.

Given her relationship with Xu Heng, she would definitely help if she could, especially since it was a movie lead role, an opportunity far more precious than a TV drama lead role!

But she still wanted to look at the script first, or more accurately, show the script to her mother.

Although she knew very well that Xu Heng would definitely not let her film any excessive scenes.

As for the salary, that's just a casual remark.

Given her current fame, her salary couldn't possibly be too high.

She also wanted to save Xu Heng some costs so that they wouldn't suffer too much loss later!

She clearly didn't think Xu Heng's directorial debut would be a box office hit, but as a good friend, she would still support him!

"I do have the script, but there's only one copy for now, so I won't give it to you yet."

"It's just a campus youth drama. It doesn't matter whether you read the script or not. There aren't any intimate scenes."

"The filming location is in Beijing, and most of the scenes are planned to be filmed inside the school."

As for the salary...

"This is a movie, and she's the female lead! You still want a paycheck?"

As he spoke, Xu Heng looked at Liu Yifei with a shocked expression.

"I won't film it without payment!"

Liu Yifei looked smug.

Who told Xu Heng to tease her back then, saying she wouldn't accept roles without a fee!

"How about this number?"

Xu Heng hesitated for a moment, then held up two fingers.

"20 million?"

Liu Yifei was immediately overjoyed.

"What are you thinking? 20? Giving you 200 is already pretty good. Fine, I'll add two more zeros for our friendship. If it's a box office hit after its release, I'll give you a big bonus!"

Xu Heng looked arrogant, as if he were giving alms.

Liu Yifei immediately gave another disdainful snort.

However, she immediately added very seriously, "I'll go back and talk to my mom. It shouldn't be a big problem!"

Regardless of reason or emotion, she believed her mother wouldn't stop her from taking on Xu Heng's film role.

Besides, this is her own business. If her mother doesn't want her to be picked up, she should pick her up herself!

Seeing the two of them acting silly and bickering as if no one else was around, the others couldn't sit still!

"Old Xu, are you really going to make a movie? And a movie that can be shown in theaters?"

Sun Haidong couldn't resist coming over from the next table.

It's not uncommon for students at the Beijing Film Academy to make movies, but that's usually something done by people in the directing department.

Even directing students usually only start trying to make their own films in their junior or senior year.

They'll at least shoot one or two short films first to practice; they don't just jump straight into making a feature film and then release it in theaters!

Not to mention that Xu Heng is a performing arts major and has never acted in a movie before. Does he even know how a movie is made?

"What's the point of making movies if they're not released in theaters?"

Xu Heng gave a soft snort.

Liu Yifei's three roommates were surprised again, but Liu Yifei and Xu Heng's three roommates were already used to his arrogance and pretentiousness.

"Are there any roles that would suit us?"

Wang Hongyu also came over, his expression even more obsequious than Zhang Zichen's, to the point that even Zhang Zichen next to him couldn't stand it anymore!

It's true that it's much easier for a person to turn bad than good!

"There will be public auditions. Since you're in the same dorm as me, you'll get priority in the hiring process, and the same goes for you."

Xu Heng glanced at his three roommates, then looked at Liu Yifei's three roommates.

In fact, all the actors and crew members for his film will be selected from the Beijing Film Academy. He has also arranged the roles of the three roommates, but he certainly won't tell them now, so as not to put any pressure on them.

As for Liu Yifei's three roommates, we'll have to see how they fared in the auditions; at most, they might be given priority in the selection process if all other factors are equal.

This is a movie shoot, and it's going to be officially released in theaters. It's not child's play, so we can't just do whatever we want.

Although he himself doesn't actually feel much pressure, he definitely hopes for the highest possible box office!

After chatting for a while, Liu Yifei and her three roommates said goodbye.

After lunch, Xu Heng parted ways with his three roommates to go find their homeroom teacher, Huo Xuan.

He wants to make a movie at the Beijing Film Academy and will need to use so many people from the academy, so he definitely needs the academy's support.

Not to mention that, apart from censorship and film license, Beijing Film Studio has all the conditions and equipment needed to shoot and produce a film, which is exactly what he needs!

When I arrived at the homeroom teacher's office, the homeroom teacher, Huo Xuan, was there.

Upon seeing Xu Heng, Huo Xuan assumed he was there to ask for leave again.

The TV series "The Story of a Noble Family" is about to air, and there will definitely be various promotional activities. Xu Heng, the male lead, will definitely be involved as well.

Then he heard Xu Heng say, "Teacher Huo, I'm preparing to make a movie!"
