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

Liu Xiaojian and Zhu Yawen were completely baffled. Writing a script?

Young Master Lu, what new activity are you organizing now? They're from the acting department, not the directing department writing scripts.

"I have a really good story in my head, and I want to turn it into a screenplay."

Zhu Yawen and Lu Yan finally understood that Lu Yan was indeed writing a script, which made Zhu Yawen feel embarrassed.

"Lu Yan, you have such good resources now, why don't you go find acting roles and write scripts? You're not really planning to make money off this, are you?"

While the majority of senior students in the Beijing Film Academy's directing department specialize in directing, there are also a few who specialize in directing.

In Zhu Yawen's view, screenwriting and directing are actually more difficult than directing, because screenwriting requires an extremely large brain capacity and rich experience to write a good 60-point script.

But this is just the beginning. A well-written script is one thing, but whether anyone will appreciate it is another.

Of the literature department's cohort, led by Director Huang Dan on an arduous journey of writing, how many of them actually achieved prominence? Aren't they all just ordinary people?

Not to mention writing a hit work.

There are also students in the directing and screenwriting programs, including the class led by Professor Ni Zhen. As far as he knows, many of them still have scripts that they can't sell.

It's incomprehensible that Lu Yan, a performance major who hasn't even taken many proper screenwriting courses, is competing with professional actors for jobs.

If he had Lu Yan's acting skills and such good luck, he definitely wouldn't waste his time on this kind of thing.

Zhu Yawen and Liu Xiaojian tried to persuade Lu Yan not to waste his time on such things, but Lu Yan ignored them and said that he would not sell the script and would film it himself.

The two were completely stunned and agreed that Lu Yan's mental problems were caused by filming too much lately. Zhu Yawen even suggested that Lu Yan see a psychologist.

It's not that they look down on Lu Yan. First of all, Lu Yan can't write scripts at all. They had script classes when they were freshmen, and Lu Yan barely passed back then.

That was because Comrade Huang gave him face and didn't let him fail the course.

Secondly, even with a script, the cost of investing in a film is at least several million.

Where will all that money come from? In the end, we still need to find investors, and investors need to look at commercial value. So the problem still comes back to the script.

Zhu Yawen and his colleague stated that Lu Yan was courting death, attempting an impossible task.

Lu Yan ignored the two pessimistic guys and spent the next two days writing the script, except for attending classes, eating, and sleeping.

Lu Yan's real-life friendship with Liu Yifei also shifted online because of his obsession with the script. Liu Yifei asked him about it a few times, originally intending to tease him, but after learning that he was serious, she stopped joking.

Instead, he frequently inquired about the script's progress. Lu Yan was very pleased that Liu was so supportive, as this was the first person to support him.

.....

With October approaching, a host of celebrities have started stirring things up, with Feng Gang bringing Ge You to the school to give a speech and promote the event.

Lu Yan skipped class with Liu to go see it, and I must say, Ge You was quite humorous and witty during this period.

That old friend-like accent, occasionally bursting out with "Go to hell!"

The atmosphere was filled with joy.

Recently, both Yu Nan and Huo Jianqi called Lu Yan. Yu Nan called to share the good news: Jingzhe has passed the review of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and obtained a public screening license, also known in the industry as the Dragon Seal.

  

Furthermore, it has already passed the Berlin Film Festival and the Golden Rooster Awards in November this year. It is said that some foreign teams have already contacted Wang Quan'an to buy the copyright of "Awakening of Insects" before the film festival.

However, none of this has anything to do with Lu Yan.

Huo Jianqi called to share good news as well: "Warm" had been successfully selected for the Golden Rooster Awards in November. To be honest, Lu Yan was surprised by how efficient Huo Jianqi was.

That was a swift and decisive move. In addition, Huo Jianqi also mentioned that the application for the Tokyo International Film Festival had been submitted and was likely to be approved. This meant that Lu Yan would be spending his November holiday traveling around.

Fortunately, the two award ceremonies did not overlap, otherwise he would not know which one to go to.

Because of the follow-up matters of these two films, Lu Yan felt that time was becoming increasingly tight. After all, he still had to travel around to promote the films in October, and he had to share the two film crews.

At least one of them has to go to Tokyo, and won't be able to stay at school for at least half a month.

He'll have to put aside the matter of raising investment for his film project; October will definitely be his busiest month yet.

......

Old Wang's office

Lu Yan stood at attention with the same expression and demeanor as a soldier, his eyes fixed straight ahead, as if he were about to enter a mission.

Wang Jinsong had a look on his face, as if his head was about to explode.

"You said...you wrote a script and you want to participate in the school's four-stage project?"

The "Four Platforms" are, as the name suggests, four platforms at Beijing Film Academy to help students develop their careers, each corresponding to a different major and providing financial support.

For example, there are university student entrepreneurship incubation centers, university student entrepreneurship parks, youth film studios (Huairou branch), and university science parks.

Lu Yan's role corresponds to the Youth Film Studio, a full-process practical training base covering the entire process from script development to post-production.

This department initiated initiatives including the "Young Filmmakers' First Pot of Gold" program, the "Young Screenwriters Support Program," and the "Golden Awards" held on campuses.

He has no money, so the only way to get money is to take shortcuts and attract investment.

What could be a simpler way to attract investment than on campus? As college students, if you don't take advantage of these benefits, can you still be considered a college student?

So Lu Yan came to Lao Wang to ask for a letter of recommendation, because participating in these programs required a letter of recommendation from a counselor as an endorsement.

That's why Lao Wang had that expression. No, you mean you're an actor from a performing arts background, you've written a script, and you're preparing to attract investment.

Wang Jinsong wouldn't have been so surprised if it were anyone else, but the person in question was Lu Yan.

You should know that Lu Yan is the student with the best future prospects among all the students in the acting department. He's doing so well as an actor, and suddenly you want to develop in the direction of directing.

Are you out of your mind?

Wang Jinsong felt that Lu Yan must have gone out to film two movies, and his mentality had been eroded by the glitz and glamour, causing him to become arrogant.

"Lu Yan, you were acting so well, why are you wasting your time? You should use that time to hone your acting skills."

Lu Yan remained expressionless. He had already anticipated this outcome before arriving. After all, it was rather unbelievable that a performing arts student like him would suddenly be seeking investment to make a movie, especially one with a script he wrote himself.

"Teacher, I'm serious."

Wang Jinsong was both amused and exasperated. He pushed up his glasses and sighed helplessly, "Can you give me a reason?"

The reason, of course, is to make money. What other reason do you need? But you can't answer that to a filmmaker like Wang Jinsong who has dreams.

"I believe that life is about constantly learning from our weaknesses, and I hope to increase my understanding of the film and television industry through this experience."

Wang Jinsong: "..."

"But you almost failed your screenwriting class!"

"Teacher, Beethoven was also deaf."

"You don't have a tumor in your brain like him, so why are you doing this to yourself?"

Lu Yan said seriously, "I haven't tested it yet, maybe it is."

After saying that, Lu Yan ignored Wang Jinsong's devastated expression, gently placed the script on the table, and continued to stand at attention.

Wang Jinsong no longer wanted to curse. He planned to take a look and find an excuse to get rid of Lu Yan.

There have been rebellious students like this before, and the result has always been the same: they all perished. Lu Yan will be no exception.

Wang Jinsong picked up the script.

Crazy Stone

The name was so-so. Wang Jinsong opened the title page, quickly scanning the script with a disdainful look. After a dozen seconds, his expression changed slightly. He solemnly pushed up his glasses, picked up his water glass, and began to drink water tactically.

"This...this is what you wrote!!!"
