Feverish actress cried after being angered by haters, but discovered the real culprit was at her bed

Jiang Wei first brewed a cup of tea, intending to savor it properly. When he ran out of tea leaves, he secretly took some black tea from his colleague.

He returned to his seat, crossed his legs, and opened the script.

The script layout was very standard, and Jiang Wei's eyes lit up. "Hmm, this is good, although their students can do it too."

However, there are almost no people who can include the script production costs, selling points, and other trivial details in the script. This is not just about writing the script, but also about doing the production work.

The details are very well done; it doesn't look like something a beginner would have done. I guess it was based on a teacher's work.

Jiang Wei continued reading; the summary of the main text followed the information.

A craft factory in Chongqing, on the verge of bankruptcy, unexpectedly discovered a priceless jadeite while demolishing its old factory buildings. In an effort to save the factory, the factory manager decided to hold an exhibition and sell tickets to generate revenue.

The head of security, Bao Shihong, was put in charge of security, and the jade attracted the covetous eyes of three groups. Real estate developer Chairman Feng, seeking to acquire the factory at a low price, sent his men to hire international thief Mike.

A local trio of thieves, led by Brother Dao...

"This story is quite interesting; multiple parallel storylines are quite rare."

The idea is good, but that's about it.

Jiang Wei continued reading, and a minute later... he frowned slightly, his eyes widening in amazement, and his heart filled with joy.

This script is surprisingly good. Both the concept and the techniques used are very mature, and you can't tell it's a student's work at all.

Could this be some teacher's closed-door disciple stepping in to play for them?

Having only read half of it, Jiang Wei knew the overall quality of the script and was moved to tears. Finally... finally, there was a work that was watchable.

He opened the first page and looked at the screenwriter's name. It was an unfamiliar name; if he remembered correctly, it was one of the hundreds of scripts submitted this year.

This seems to be the first time I've seen the name Lu Yan. Which professor taught this outstanding student?

Jiang Wei opened the document page with a puzzled look.

"Lu Yan...Lu Yan...Oh, here he is, Director...Hmm???"

"Acting Department!"

At first, Jiang Wei thought he was seeing things. How come there was a performing arts student here?

After confirming it several times, Jiang Wei's anxious heart finally calmed down.

...and she really is a performing arts student.

I finally came across a decent script, and you tell me it's for acting students.

Jiang Wei was in a dilemma. The script was good, but it was written by people from the acting department, and had nothing to do with their directing department.

His task is to vet high-quality production teams, not just scripts; can acting students really make a good film based on a script?

  

That's one aspect. On the other hand, so many students in their directing department haven't secured funding yet, so how are they going to get this script published?

Will this cause controversy?

Jiang Wei felt a headache coming on. "Why is it that this script isn't written for people from our directing department?!"

Otherwise, why would we have to worry so much?

But if the film is submitted, the funding is approved, and it achieves good results, then he will have a chance to meet his quota this year.

Jiang Wei is about to explode. Damn it, why give him such a difficult problem?

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Wei picked up the script, shook his head with a wry smile, and threw it into the trash can.

"Gamblers deserve a terrible death."

While it's possible this film will be successful, what if it doesn't? Let alone whether the script will be selected, even if it is selected...

It's too difficult to achieve the results you want.

A film is not just about the script; production, actors, and post-production are all indispensable.

He's seen projects that are good in script but poor in production quality, and some of them even lose money.

Letting a performance student, someone who hasn't systematically studied film production, handle such a large project is a recipe for disaster. If something goes wrong, the higher-ups will be furious with him. This is a project worth millions of dollars!

Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Wei still felt that he couldn't take the risk. As long as I don't take the risk, I won't feel any pressure.

It's a real shame that we didn't see this script.

......

Three days after Lu Yan submitted the script

My hopes were dashed. According to the rules, if a script makes it to the preliminary review, we will get a response within three days. If not, it means that the script has basically no hope.

After the last physical education class that afternoon, Lao Wang called Lu Yan to his office again to inquire about the script.

Lu Yan looked puzzled and confused. He couldn't understand why he hadn't passed the initial review. Logically, this shouldn't have happened.

Old Wang provided the answer to this question. After listening to Old Wang's explanation, Lu Yan suddenly realized that there really were no monsters on Lion Camel Ridge.

So he lost because of the rules?

"So, now you know how difficult it is to prepare a movie, right? Okay, I won't say any more. Go back and focus on finishing this semester."

"Oh"

Lu Yan nodded, took two steps toward the door, then turned back: "Teacher, would you like to get a position with me? Once the film is released, I can give you a producer title."

Wang Jinsong: "???"

Good grief, all that talk was just a waste of breath. Lu Yan is still going to make this film.

Not only did he want to do it, he even set his sights on me. If he agreed, I'd have to get him some investment. That kid's shrewd.

"Get lost! I'm not that free!"

Wang Jinsong drove Lu Yan away, little did he know that in the near future he would regret his decision and slap his thigh in remorse.

Lu Yan left the teaching building in a rather unpleasant mood. Alas, the late emperor's great undertaking was cut short before it was even halfway complete...

My mood has been ruined all day.

There seems to be no way to secure investment from the school for the time being. We have two options: one is to continue seeking investment, and the other is to find a way to raise money ourselves and produce the film.

Even if a movie only costs 250 million to produce, at least 50 will still be allocated to marketing and distribution. The success of this movie in later years was not solely due to its script.

A large part of the reason is Andy Lau's investment and the boost from his fame, which gave the film a natural influx of viewers.

If he wants to replicate the success of this movie, then these conditions are indispensable.

Just thinking about it gives me a headache; I have no money and no resources.

Indeed, many things seem simple, but when you actually try them out, you'll find all sorts of problems.

However, these difficulties were all within his expectations. If it were really that easy, wouldn't everyone in the world be able to make movies and start a business?

He is not afraid of difficulties; he is afraid of having no difficulties at all.

After calming down, Lu Yan went back to her dormitory and ran into Jiang Yiyan near the playground. She was walking hand in hand with a boy who looked a little older than her.

Lu Yan, who originally planned to go back quickly, stayed behind to watch the drama unfold.

Rumor has it that Jiang Yiyan had two boyfriends during her school years: one was director Yin Li, and the other was a photographer she met while dating Yin Li.

Of course, these are all rumors, and no one knows if they are true or false, so is this one of those two?

Lu Yan thought about it and agreed that this was for the best, as it would prevent him from being bothered in the future. Just recently, Jiang Yiyan had been sending him text messages from time to time, seemingly trying to strengthen their friendship as classmates.

But for various reasons, he ignored her. Jiang Yiyan knew her place and stopped contacting him. She never expected to find a boyfriend so quickly.

Truly... a master.

Lu Yan didn't return to his dormitory until evening.

In the dorm, Zhu Yawen was drying his smelly socks with a hairdryer when he saw Lu Yan return. He shouted, "A rare guest! Isn't this the big star Lu? Why are you back so early today?"

Luo Jin asked, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day!"

Lu Yan thought for a moment: "Watching a dog chase a cat downstairs?"

"So?" Luo Jin glanced at his watch. "It's been three hours since get out of class ended, and you've been watching for that long?"

"He chased me for so long, and I only watched for that long."

Lu Yan plopped down on a fisherman's stool in the corner by the door, happily sipping his pineapple beer. He glanced around the dormitory and didn't see the other office worker.

Where is Liu Xiaojian?

Zhu Yawen said with a strange look, "Hehe, he should be on the rooftop right now, he won the Jia-A league match..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the can in Lu Yan's hand suddenly fell to the ground, spilling the drink everywhere. Zhu Yawen yelled, "Damn it, are you trying to kill me?! My socks!!!"

Ignoring Zhu Yawen's scolding, Lu Yan suddenly stood up, grabbed Zhu Yawen's shoulders, and let out a tsunami-like scream of excitement.

"Damn it, Zhu! You're a genius!!!"

"Your IQ must be 250!"
