billion box office tycoon

Two years later.

There are now two people left in the dormitory A607, one is Xie Donglin, who was selected by director Zhang Yi, who is known as the "National Teacher" last semester, and was very lucky to be the leading actor in his new movie.The other is Ma Wencai, who has successfully auditioned for an important supporting role in the third part of the "Love of the Sword and Heroes" series, which has hit record high ratings, and has now joined the filming team.

One year before graduation, the schoolwork is relatively loose, and Ye Weilin and Liu Jia are left in the entire dormitory. The two play against each other when they have nothing to do. On the one hand, they learn from each other and on the other hand, they also relieve the boredom .

During one day's spare time, Liu Jia couldn't help but ask Ye Weilin: "I'm about to graduate in one year. I see that other people in your director department are preparing to shoot their graduation works. Are you still ready?"

Mentioning this, Ye Weilin couldn't help frowning. When he was filming "Zhuang Nu Meng Die" two years ago, he had planned to use this micro-film as his graduation work, but it was a pity that he failed and he had to write another film. However, what is disturbing is that the meaning of the graduation work represents the highest professional level of the university's years of study.

He and Fu Qi devoted a lot of energy and financial resources to the "Zhuang Girl's Dream Butterfly" back then. Both the props and the setting and the shooting equipment can be called conscientious.But now, his personal funds are stretched, and Fu Qi is not much better. He has to spend several thousand for the rent of his lakeside villa every month. How can he prepare a work that surpasses the former?

Even if you are looking for corporate investment, sponsorship, etc., you must have a good resume. Even if "Zhuang Nu Dream Butterfly" did not win an award, it should have attracted some investment or sponsorship just because it has caused heated discussions on the Internet.But helplessly, after being mercilessly criticized by Wen Yuanshan, this advantage was gone.

"Oh, no money..." Ye Weilin sighed in distress.

"Can't get sponsorship?" Liu Jia asked.

"I can't pull it. I tried it last year." Ye Weilin shook his head.

Liu Jia suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly: "By the way, I saw a post on the campus website two days ago, saying that the college established a dream foundation. If a teacher writes a letter of recommendation, the highest can apply for it." Get 50."

"Your professional courses are so good, the teacher will definitely help." Liu Jia affirmed.

"So good?" Ye Weilin questioned the authenticity of the news.

"Money is not given in vain. This fund must be used to start a business, and the financial statement must be publicly fed back to the foundation every month. Once it makes a profit, it must be returned. If the business fails, you have to return the money, but No interest charged, and paid in installments depending on your financial situation."

After Liu Jia's explanation, Ye Weilin immediately dispelled his doubts and thought of applying for the funds.

He remembered the failure of the last micro-movie, and realized that in order to get rewards, pinning all hopes on others is the most unreliable.Awards can be manipulated by humans, but the box office of the theaters is actually an actual benefit, and the latter can verify the authenticity.

Ye Weilin decided to go for the big ticket, and 50 is definitely not enough.

So, he approached Fu Qi and told him about the situation.

"What? What do you mean, we ask the teacher for a recommendation letter, and then make up 100 million?" Fu Qi was shocked. He felt that this idea was too opportunistic and would definitely be rejected by the teacher.

"It's more than 100 million. I wrote an IOU to my roommate Liu Jia and asked him to apply for it." Ye Weilin said without changing his expression.

"...The teacher will definitely not recommend it." Fu Qi shook his head.

"Liu Jia doesn't know about it, but you're definitely fine." Ye Weilin looked confident. He had already discovered that the teachers of several professional courses had a subtle attitude towards Fu Qi. He should have guessed the relationship between Fu Qi and Fu Jinliang. Only Fu Qi was blind and thought no one would recognize him.

Fu Qi said suspiciously: "Then I'll try it."

After Ye Weilin finished writing his application and handed it in, he began to think about the script.

It is not a simple matter for an independent film production to go to regular theaters. First, the script must be sent to the relevant department for filing and approval. After the approval, legal documents such as a shooting license must be obtained.

Funding can only be recruited after the project is approved, otherwise it is illegal fund-raising.

After the filming is finished, it will be sent to the relevant department for approval. This time, it will be stricter, and there will be two review procedures. If it fails, it will be sent back to remake.

If all the above procedures are passed, you will have to go to major theaters to promote your work until a theater company buys it and invests it in its theaters in various places, it will be considered a success.

Every joint here is a natural barrier for independent film producers. It is difficult to approve a script project, it is also difficult to recruit funds, it is difficult to review after filming, and it is even more difficult for theaters to buy it.Only well-known directors with a background in investment and production by major entertainment companies will these problems no longer be a problem.

Ye Weilin also knew that it would be unbelievable to achieve this goal in one year, but he always had confidence in himself, and he should be fearless in his new life.

In order to save time, you must first determine the script.

Ye Weilin originally conceived a script with a horror theme, but now he thinks that since it is going to be shown in theaters, he has to change the script.

The approval of horror-themed scripts has always been very bumpy. Even if they are filmed, many theaters will not buy them. Even if they are bought, they will not be scheduled in the daytime, and they will often lose money.

Thinking about a script on the spur of the moment is a very painful thing. Ye Weilin hasn't slept well these days, staying up until two or three o'clock in the morning is common.

In the early hours of this night, he was still sleepless, so in order not to wake up his roommate Liu Jia, he put on a random piece of clothing and walked out of the balcony of the dormitory.

Just as he was about to take a cigarette out of his pocket, there was a slight vibration of his mobile phone suddenly.

At first, Ye Weilin thought it was a harassing call, took out the phone and wanted to cut it off, but unexpectedly saw the word "Yin Lan" flashing on the screen.

He hasn't seen Yin Lan since "Zhuang Nu Dream Butterfly" was finished, but this doesn't mean the two have lost contact. Every holiday, the other party will send a message to say hello, and Ye Weilin will usually reply a few times. Sentence, talk about concern.

But it was the first time to call him at such a late time like tonight.

Ye Weilin's self-consciousness told him that the other party must have something urgent, and it was usually troublesome.

Ye Weilin is not an overly compassionate person, but he is also not a ruthless person. After all, he has met once before, and he will help those who can help.

Without much hesitation, he pressed the connect button.

"Director Ye, can you help me?" Yin Lan's voice was hoarse, her tone was irritable, and she seemed emotionally unstable.

"You say." Ye Weilin knew the character of the other party, and he would never speak in such a begging tone unless he was desperate.

"My grandma is in urgent need of surgery, but she is still short of a sum of money. Also, I cannot be a guarantor when I am a minor." Yin Lan did not go around the circle, and directly explained all the problems.

If Yin Lan asked him to borrow money in normal times, he might have hesitated, but now that his life was at stake, he agreed without much thought.

If the follow-up questions are too troublesome, he may not help anymore, but for now, he can help as much as he can.

Ye Weilin rushed out of the dormitory building immediately after taking his ID card, bank card, mobile phone and other items.

The access control of Huaxi Opera was strict, so he had to explain the reason clearly to the guard and pledged his student ID before letting him go.

When he arrived in a hurry by taxi, a doctor had already advised Yin Lan to give up.

At this time, he frowned, pursed his lips, and looked unmoved. When he saw Ye Weilin appear, he immediately ran up to hold his hand and brought him to the doctor.

The doctor said helplessly: "Actually, there is no need for surgery in this patient's condition. She is too old, and the results of the examination just now showed that the internal organs have failed. Daddy, why bother to let her suffer at this age?"

Ye Weilin thought of his previous life. Through the sterile glass, he looked at his sister who had been asleep for a long time due to a car accident. Like Yin Lan, he was comforted by the doctor: "In this case, the possibility of waking up through surgery is very slim, unless there is a miracle. My personal recommendation is not to have surgery."

But he did not give up, and finally found the most authoritative brain doctor abroad and agreed to operate on his sister.

It's a pity that the doctor was still absent in the end.

He understands Yin Lan's pain, no matter how small the hope is, he wants to give it a try, and really wants to keep his relatives when they are dying.

"Doctor, I know there is little hope, but as the patient's family, we still want her to undergo surgery." Ye Weilin looked at the doctor and said sincerely.

"Then go and pay the surgery fee first, and sign this guarantee." The doctor didn't force him, he took out a critical illness notice and a guarantee agreement for surgery, and asked Ye Weilin to sign it.

After paying the fee, Yin Lan's grandmother was pushed into the operating room.

The two stayed in the waiting room which was empty except for them, looking at each other in silence.

I haven't seen him for two years, and Yin Lan is no longer the frail young man he was back then. He is tall and slender, and his face has lost a bit of his youthful beauty.

His expression seemed to be calmer than before, but his hands were trembling slightly, and even his lips became pale.

"Don't be too nervous." Ye Weilin's comfort was a little dry, but in this case, he didn't know what to say.

Yin Lan glanced at him, and suddenly said: "You lend me so much money all at once, are you afraid that I won't pay it back?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm a director, and I'll give you plenty of opportunities to pay off your debts. I won't pay you until you pay off your debts." Ye Weilin tried to distract the other party's tension with a lighter topic.

"Okay, I won't charge you for every movie you play in the future." Yin Lan said.

"I'm not Huang Shiren." Ye Weilin smiled, but also asked with some doubts: "Haven't you been popular on the Internet for a while, why are you still like this?"

Back when "Zhuang Nu Dream Butterfly" became popular on the Internet, Yin Lan won the attention of many advertisers with his pretty face. He also saw Yin Lan's name on Weibo hot search.

"After getting your salary, grandma immediately applied for my household registration and let me go to school." Yin Lanyi explained succinctly.

It turned out to be like this, no wonder Yin Lan didn't appear in the trending searches again, and she wasn't some superstar, who would remember after disappearing for a while.

The two chatted with each other and passed the unbearable time until the green light of the operating room came on.
