Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

5 month 15 day.

In just a few days, Ye Chong entertained guests with drinks and used his silver tongue to completely bring the behind-the-scenes crew of "The Nameless" under his control.

Among them: Cheng Li served as the on-site producer, Lin Qiang as the editor, Tu Da as the production assistant, and Guo Sida as the resident composer.

The executive producer is Chen Zhixi, and Ye Chong is the director and producer. The only missing production manager is Lan Sheng.

The framework for the film crew is almost complete.

That morning, in office 301.

Ye Chong was sitting in the boss's chair, taking a sip of coffee from his enamel mug while frowning as he looked at the email replies.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking so worried? How's the editing going?"

Before the person arrived, their voice was heard.

Accompanied by the sound of high heels kissing the ground, Chen Zhixi walked over in a business suit.

"The editing was fine, but the main problem was that the invitation we received was rejected."

Chen Zhixi frowned and sat down opposite Ye Chong: "The invitation, is it about the agent you mentioned?"

"right."

Ye Chong put down the enamel mug, reached out and patted himself down, then took out a cigarette and lit it.

"One is Wong Jing-hua."

After saying that, he said nothing more.

"Hmm? There's one more?"

"Hiss... Huff!" Ye Chong exhaled a puff of secondhand smoke, hiding his eyes behind the rising white smoke.

"I can't say for now."

Chen Zhixi gave him a dirty look; she was almost used to it by now.

Ye Chong sometimes likes to talk insanely and enjoys riddles!

He always pretended to be someone others could see through, but Chen Zhixi knew that this person was actually very cunning.

Thinking about this, Chen Zhixi couldn't help but become curious again: "So you haven't been attending classes or editing these past few days, and you've been going out drinking at night. What have you been doing in front of the computer during the day?"

"It cannot be spoken of!"

"Bang—"

The quiet office was suddenly filled with the sound of someone slamming their hand on the table.

Chen Zhixi gritted his teeth, staring intently at Ye Chong's handsome, punchable face. If looks could kill, he would have died a thousand times over.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" Chen Zhixi took a deep breath and pulled out a stack of A4 papers from his folder.

Ye Chong took the document, and Chen Zhixi's voice rang out again.

"This is the script you had someone submit to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review in early May. It has been approved. When would you like to talk to a few investors?"

"OK!"

Ye Chong put the copy of "The Flying Fairy from Heaven" into the drawer, then picked up the combination lock on the table and locked the drawer.

Seeing how serious he was, Chen Zhixi curled her lip in disdain.

"Is it really necessary?"

"You don't understand!" Ye Chong flicked the combination lock with his finger, a strange reverence flickering in his eyes.

"These doujinshi are crucial to Feiye's rise. Once we have the money, we'll immediately launch the 'Hoarding Mouse' plan to collect the best doujinshi from all over the world, and while we're at it, we'll also buy Shanda."

"You?"

Ye Chong chuckled and turned his head: "And you, my partner."

He was met with the whites of Chen Zhixi's eyes.

Having finished explaining everything, Chen Zhixi picked up the folder and stood up: "I'm not playing with you anymore, I have a spa appointment this afternoon. Oh! By the way, Teacher Li Chen from last time called and wants you to come to the school."

"Her? What does she want with me?"

"How should I know!" After saying this, Chen Zhixi turned and left.

The office fell silent again. Ye Chong memorized his trip to the Beijing Film Academy and then turned to play with his mouse again.

These days, he has indeed been doing one thing during the day: looking for dirt on people!

He reviewed the airport interview incident and realized that the reporter's behavior that day was not like Lu Chuan's style. Lu Chuan should be like this:

He scolded me—why?—I'm having a hard time too—waaaaaah—Daddy!

Style is one point, but the second point is that this old guy doesn't have that kind of cunning. From knowing the film crew's flight schedule to organizing a large group of paparazzi in a short period of time, the number of people with such abilities is probably no more than ten.

Therefore, he needs to prepare damaging information for any eventuality!

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Zhixi drove off in her pink car, so Ye Chong had no choice but to hail a taxi nearby and head towards the Beijing Film Academy.

It has been half a year since I last stepped into the classroom.

Fortunately, the good thing about the Beijing Film Academy is that it's easy to take leave.

In Room 502 of Building A at Beijing Film Academy, the teacher hadn't arrived yet, but the classroom was already "full" of five or six students.

"Hey!" As soon as he stepped into the classroom, a skinny kid stood up: "Isn't this the famous 'Ye Chongchong' little Ye?"

Ye Chong spat at him irritably: "Shut up! You just waste your days on campus, why don't you find a film crew to do some extra work?"

Shi Weicong chuckled, shaking his pointed head: "This is the smart thing to do. You all go out and work hard to make your way in the world. Once you've built your empires, I'll run errands for you, and be your assistant director. Isn't that great?"

"puff……"

"Hahaha……"

The remaining students burst out laughing, and Ye Chong couldn't help but chuckle as well.

He paused, then got down to business: "I heard that Master Li is looking for me?"

Shi Weicong nodded and pointed to the ceiling: "Building A, Room 702."

"OK, thanks!" Ye Chong waved to the others, then turned and walked towards the door.

Just as he was leaving, he could still hear Shi Weicong shouting, "Little Ye, remember to make a name for yourself, and I'll follow you!"

"Ora—"

……

After leaving the classroom, Ye Chong went straight to the 7th floor. When he arrived at the office door, he was shocked to realize:

"Isn't this the director's office?!"

"Click—"

Coincidentally, the door was ajar, and a gust of wind blew in Ye Chong's words without uttering a single one.

A dozen pairs of eyes turned to look at them.

"Ye Chong, you arrived without even knocking?"

"Director Xie, Secretary, Professor Zhang Ming, Professor Tian Zhuangzhuang, Professor Hou Keming, um... hello everyone."

Ye Chong nodded repeatedly, but in the end, it was Master Li who came to the rescue.

"Alright, alright, come in."

"OK."

Ye Chong walked into the house with his head held high and back straight, closing the door behind him.

"Director Xie, this is Ye Chong, a sophomore who independently produced two films."

All eyes turned to him again, and Ye Chong's eyebrows twitched.

There were about a dozen teachers present, all of whom were professors except for Li Chen. The department head and secretary were also present. This was no small matter.

What does this have to do with me?

"Ye Chong".

"I'm here, Director."

"Hmm..." Xie Xiaojing nodded to herself.

With composure and calmness, he independently completed two films in his freshman year and was able to withstand pressure.

Duan is a promising talent.

"Do you know why I called you here today?"

Ye Chong honestly shook his head: "I don't know."

Xie Xiaojing's lips curled into a smile. After exchanging a glance with Li Chen, she revealed the purpose of her summons to Ye Chong: "There's a university drama festival in August. I've invited you here today to represent the Beijing Film Academy..."

"Go compete!"

"?"

"drama?"

Ye Chong's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and the doubt in his eyes almost became tangible.

The 2004 University Student Drama Festival? Looking for me?

"Master's students and graduates are all preparing for their graduation plays. Even those few who have free time are a bit rigid, and they're all doing the same old plays."

Xie Xiaojing's words were blunt and showed no respect for the professors, yet the professors all remained smiling, while Xie Fei's eyes were unfocused, as if he were lost in thought.

After his explanation, Ye Chong roughly understood what was going on.

Most seniors and master's students are too busy, and Xie Xiaojing, who is available, doesn't think much of them. Freshmen and juniors are too inexperienced and can't compare to Ye Chong, who has experience in two films.

"So, the department asked me to come back so I could do something for the competition?"

"what?"

Xie Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances with the professors and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha... That's right, that's right, I just wanted you to do some work!"

Ye Chong smiled confidently upon hearing this: "Then there's no problem. I'm good at creating entertaining moments!"
