Dongguk University, on-campus cafe.

March in Yangchun is the season when spring is warm and flowers are blooming.

The bright sunshine shines into the coffee shop through the floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a touch of warmth and comfort to the entire coffee shop.

Xu Xian sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, took a sip of coffee, then put down the coffee, gently opened a page of the book, and started reading seriously.

However, just after reading a paragraph, my eyes moved down, and suddenly a shadow was cast on the page, and then a warm voice sounded in my ears——

"Hello."

Xu Xian raised his head in surprise——

What caught her eyes was a majestic boy who was at least 1.8 meters tall, with a deep profile, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and fair and delicate skin. Different from the handsome boys currently popular in Korea, although the boy in front of her looked more delicate, he was not at all

That kind of feminine beauty.

After being slightly startled, Xu Xian quickly stood up and bowed: "Hello, senior Li Chengyou."

Li Chengyou was startled and said in surprise: "You know me?"

Xu Xian said politely and respectfully: "Yes, senior, I have heard about you from my classmates before."

Li Chengyou blinked and understood.

In this world where faces are judged, being handsome is still very advantageous. Thank you again for my handsome face.

We are both at Dongguk University, only one semester apart. Lee Seung-woo enrolled in 2009, and Seohyun enrolled in 2010. Although he majored in film and imaging, and Seohyun majored in drama and film, they are both film and television majors. Plus

In this world where looks are valued, especially in an environment like Korea where looks are paramount, it is not unexpected for handsome boys to be heard in certain circles.

It seems that he also knows that Seohyun is a star alumnus of Dongguk University. He usually comes to Dongguk University to take classes when he is not working. In his free time, he likes to read quietly in this cafe.

Smiling, Li Chengyou said: "Since you also know me, then we don't need to introduce each other. By the way, there is no need to be so formal. Sit down."

With that said, Li Chengyou walked to the opposite side of Xu Xian and sat down.

Xu Xian: "..."

He looked at Li Chengyou speechlessly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Just as Li Chengyou thought, although Dongguk University does not comment on the so-called campus beauties like in the novel, the handsome men and beauties are still well-known among the students. Xu Xian has always been a good student and has a job.

Needless to say, he never skipped classes when he was not working. Therefore, although Xu Xian did not deliberately inquire about them, he often heard about some well-known figures in the school through his female classmates.

So although it was the first official meeting with Lee Seung Woo, Seohyun was no stranger to him.

What makes her confused is why Li Chengyou suddenly came to see her?

It can't be...

Just when Xu Xian couldn't help but think divergently, Li Chengyou spoke.

"If there was an opportunity in front of you that would allow you to gain both fame and fortune, would you be interested in knowing about it?"

Well?

Xu Xian was a little confused.

Is this... trying to fool me?

Everyone likes things like pie in the sky, but anyone with a brain can know that if you are greedy for petty gains and suffer big losses, you are not a relative or a friend. Would you come to me for such a good thing?

Xu Xian looked at Li Chengyou suspiciously, and two big words were already carved on Li Chengyou's forehead in his heart——

fraud!

Seeing this, Li Chengyou smiled sincerely and said: "There's no need to look at me like that, right? I admit that I took the liberty to come here, and it's normal for you to have doubts. But Confucius said, judge a person by his appearance, and you will be judged by his words.

People are at fault. Watch their actions and then their words. Since I have come to you for cooperation, I will definitely not deceive you with just one mouth. With your prudence and intelligence, I don’t think anyone can.

I really deceived you."

Xu Xian smiled reservedly and did not respond.

However, I was inevitably curious about the so-called cooperation that Li Chengyou mentioned, and I had more patience to hear what Li Chengyou would say next.

Li Chengyou smiled and said no more. Instead, he opened his briefcase, took out a script and handed it to Xu Xian: "This is the script I wrote. You can read it first. If you are interested, we will follow up.

Let’s talk again.”

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, looked at the script that was handed to him, hesitated slightly, and then reached out to take it.

As both students of Dongguk University, Lee Seung-woo is also a well-known 'celebrity' in the school, so although Seohyun doesn't know much about Lee Seung-woo, they still have a certain understanding.

As far as Xu Xian knows, Lee Seung-woo was born in 1990, one year older than her, and is currently a junior majoring in film and imaging directing, so Seohyun is not surprised that Lee Seung-woo can write a script. - Most Korean directors are

Self-written and directed, script writing ability can be said to be one of the basic abilities of a Korean director. But what makes Xu Xian suspicious is that Li Chengyou wants to cooperate with her... He does not want to make a short film and invite her to star in it.

Bar?

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed very possible.

Although she is only a student at the moment and has never made a guest appearance in a TV series, she is a member of Girls' Generation after all, so it is not surprising that Lee Seung Woo wants to use her fame to promote herself.

only……

Looking at Li Chengyou again, Xu Xian secretly shook his head.

Precisely because she is a member of Girls' Generation, it is even more impossible for her to star in Lee Seung-woo's short film. For the sake of Girls' Generation's reputation, even if she wanted to, the company would not agree.

After all, Lee Seung-woo is just a little-known student, and it is impossible for the company to let her take risks and star in such a small-budget short film.

What's more, most student works like this don't have high remuneration, so companies are even less likely to agree.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and glanced at the script in his hand. Xu Xian's interest inexplicably faded a bit.

But since he had already accepted it, Xu Xian couldn't refuse it outright due to politeness. He could only look at it a few times and then find a reason to decline politely.

Lowering his head, Xu Xian read the title of the script first——

"Don't stop the camera!"

Turn the page and the next page is the plot summary——

A film crew was filming a zombie movie in a remote mountain ruin. The director was bent on pursuing a realistic scene, and the actors were shot 42 times and still failed to meet the requirement. Unexpectedly, real zombies appeared at this time. Regardless of the lives of other crew members, the director shouted

The camera must not stop, requiring the heroine to fight her way out...

Huh?

This is...a zombie movie?

That's a bit interesting.

A faint curiosity arose in Xu Xian's heart, and he couldn't help but become somewhat focused.

More than half an hour later.

Xu Xian closed the script, breathed out softly, and looked at Li Chengyou.

Li Chengyou smiled and said: "How is it?"

Xu Xian said sincerely: "It's unexpected, but it's also reasonable. The plot is also very touching. The script created by the seniors is really excellent. It's just..." Xu Xian opened his mouth, feeling regret in his heart.

She really liked the script, but as she had worried before, Li Chengyou was just a little-known student, and even if she was interested, the company would not agree to let her star.

Sighing secretly, Xu Xian shook off his melancholy and was about to politely refuse when Li Chengyou suddenly asked: "Since you think this script is good, are you interested in investing?"

"Well!"

Xu Xian was stunned.

cast…

invest?

What do you mean??

Didn’t you invite me to star???

Xu Xian looked at Li Chengyou stupidly for a long time before saying speechlessly: "Investment?"

Li Chengyou nodded and smiled sincerely: "Yes! Invest!" After a pause, he said kindly, "After reading the script, you must also be able to see that the scenes of this movie are very simple, so the production cost is not high.

.I have raised most of the funds so far, and there is still a gap of about 50 million won, so if you think the script is not bad, are you interested in taking a share?"

Hearing Li Chengyou's confirmation, Xu Xian was speechless.

I spent a long time co-writing it, not because I wanted to invite me to star in it, but because I wanted to trick me into paying for it.

To be honest, 50 million won is not much, and converted into Chinese currency, it is only about 300,000. This is not a high amount of money for Xu Xian, and she can afford it.

But the question is... why should she take it?

Just as she had worried before, it was clear that Lee Seung-woo wanted to shoot this script by herself. After reading the script, Xu Xian also saw that Lee Seung-woo wanted to make a feature-length film instead of a short film.

But Li Chengyou, a junior student, even though he had some on-site practice during his studies, he could only touch the camera without any actual directing experience.

Based on Li Chengyou's meager director qualifications, even if Li Chengyou is not considered a director at the moment, how much water must be in her brain to be so stupid as to throw 50 million into the water like this.

Looking at Li Chengyou, Xu Xian actually wanted to ask - Senior, am I so stupid and sweet in your eyes?

As if he understood the meaning in Xu Xian's eyes, Li Chengyou laughed dryly, but then he straightened his posture and said with a sincere face: "I know that I have no directing experience before, so I rashly invite you to invest. It is reasonable for you to have doubts."

But honestly speaking, regardless of your qualifications and just looking at the script, do you think this script has investment value?"

Xu Xian twitched the corners of his mouth, looking dignified on the surface, but secretly he rolled his eyes.

She felt that Li Chengyou was just talking nonsense.

The script is indeed one of the important elements of a movie, but the director is the core of a movie. A first-rate director can turn a third-rate script into a first-rate movie, but a third-rate director can also turn a third-rate director into a first-rate movie.

A first-rate script was made into a third-rate movie.

Do you think the director or the script is more important?

The most important thing is that we are not familiar with each other, so I will invest if you ask me to invest? Why should I take this risk? What’s more, you didn’t even invite me to be the heroine!

Although I will refuse if you invite me, at least you have to ask.
Chapter completed!
