Chapter 3 One dares to ask, one dares to vote
"Ring ring~~"
The school bell rang, startling Gu Qingshan from his immersion in the simulation space.
As Gu Qingshan's consciousness exited the simulation space, he saw Jing Tian and Chai Biyun holding hands, getting up to leave.
Gu Qingshan quickly stepped forward and greeted him warmly, "Hello, Jing Tian."
"Who are you?" Jing Tian asked, puzzled. There were just too many people who wanted to strike up a conversation with her.
Gu Qingshan said, "My name is Gu Qingshan, and I'm from the Management Department, Class of 07."
"Just call me Jing Tian. We're classmates, no need to be so polite." Jing Tian smiled slightly.
Chai Biyun, holding Jing Tian's hand, looked at Gu Qingshan with great interest. "Gu Qingshan, if you want to pursue our little sweetheart, just give up on that idea. Don't be a toad trying to eat swan meat."
Gu Qingshan completely ignored Chai Biyun; his target remained Jing Tian, the financial backer he was looking for. "Jing Tian, I'm currently working on a film project and would like to cast you as the female lead. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
"A film project? Interested!" Jing Tian's big eyes lit up.
The others couldn't help but look at Gu Qingshan, and then at Jing Tian, their faces filled with envy.
Jing Tian is pretty, and it's only been a short time since the start of the semester, yet someone has already approached her to ask her to be the female lead?
How unfair is God!
Some even regretted not getting closer to Gu Qingshan beforehand so they could get a role.
Chai Biyun's smile froze. What kind of extraordinary person was this? A freshman already running a film project?
She wanted to slap herself twice; why did she have to be so foul-mouthed!
Gu Qingshan smiled and said, "Then how about we find a coffee shop and discuss this in detail?"
Jing Tian smiled and happily agreed.
The two went to Starbucks and each ordered a coffee.
Gu Qingshan took out the script from his bag. The script for "Night Shop" was very thin, only 18 pages.
"Jing Tian, this is my film project, 'Night Shop,' which I'm currently working on. Take a look at the script." Gu Qingshan handed the script to Jing Tian.
"Nightclub? Is it a movie about shooting nightclubs?" Jing Tian asked curiously.
Jing Tian took the script for "Night Shop" and began to read it carefully.
Gu Qingshan looked at Jing Tian with admiration. No matter how much others criticized Jing Tian, Gu Qingshan never did.
It is said that Jing Tian has powerful connections. If this is true, as a wealthy woman born into a powerful family, she does not use her privileges to squeeze out resources from ordinary people. On the contrary, it is because of her that she has those film and television projects. In the end, it creates jobs for the film and television industry and contributes to the country's GDP. What a great deed!
What do you mean by bad acting skills?
Aside from a few individuals who are naturally gifted or have been given opportunities by fate, which newcomer has acting skills?
Those veteran actors didn't have acting skills from the start; they honed them step by step through film and television dramas.
Besides, if you act in a bad movie, the audience will at most criticize you, but if you're a doctor... patients might not even have the chance to criticize you.
Gu Qingshan tapped his fingers lightly on the table as he sipped his coffee.
His goal was to swindle at least 100 million from her.
With 100 million, the entire film project can get started.
After all, it shouldn't be a problem to pay a portion of the movie salary and then delay paying the rest.
Before he knew it, Jing Tian had finished reading the script. After putting the script down, he looked at Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan snapped out of his daze and asked with a smile, "How was it?"
"A very good movie, the budget won't be too big, and it's hilarious." Jing Tian nodded. "So, you want me to play the role of Tang Xiaolian? I'll take it!"
Gu Qingshan smiled and said, "That's right. The role I want you to play is the female lead, 'Tang Xiaolian.' If you perform this role well, it will be very outstanding."
Then Gu Qingshan looked troubled. "However, this movie is currently facing some difficulties in finding investment. It's not easy to get funding from film companies."
"How much do you think this movie will cost?" Jing Tian asked, taking a sip of coffee.
"Actor salaries, venue fees, camera rentals, various props, post-production, dubbing, etc., will cost approximately 200 million!" Gu Qingshan counted on his fingers. "The publicity costs can be covered by the distribution company."
"Only 2 million? Here's what we'll do: I'll put up 3 million, taking 50% of the film's revenue. I'll play the female lead, and as for the salary, forget it. I'm a newcomer anyway, so I don't really need any salary." Jing Tian waved her hand dismissively, acting like a spoiled rich girl.
Jing Tian said, "I don't mind that you're a new director, and you shouldn't mind that I'm a newcomer with poor acting skills."
"Haha~~" Gu Qingshan couldn't help but laugh. "In that case, let's sign the contract now!"
The two discussed it and finalized the contract in less than an hour.
Gu Qingshan finally understood why people liked to be friends with the rich and powerful.
That was... incredibly awesome!
......
in the afternoon.
Gu Qingshan found an agency to register a film and television company.
Then they got to work; a film crew needs quite a few people.
Meanwhile, the news spread like wildfire throughout the Beijing Film Academy campus.
"Have you heard? Jing Tian invested 300 million in Gu Qingshan from the Management Department!"
"Gu Qingshan? Management Department? What's going on? Could it be that Jing Tian is keeping Gu Qingshan as a mistress?"
"Gu Qingshan wrote and directed a movie, with Jing Tian as the female lead and also an investor, investing 300 million yuan!"
"When did this happen? Is Jing Tian that naive to believe that a first-year management student could become a director?"
"My God, just how rich is Jing Tian's family? They don't even treat 300 million as money."
"I always said Jing Tian might be pretty, but she's actually quite naive and simple-minded, completely different from Yang Mi. We need to act quickly; Jing Tian will definitely invest five or six million with us!"
"Damn it, Jing Tian is nothing special except for her looks. She has no spirit at all. Gu Qingshan is really shameless to cast her as the female lead. He has no bottom line when it comes to investment."
"What kind of world is this? School administration majors are all running to become directors, competing with directing majors for jobs? Does Gu Qingshan even know how to make a movie? Does he even understand cameras?"
The whole school was immediately abuzz with discussion.
Before, Jing Tian became a popular figure as soon as she entered the school. After all, she was really beautiful. When the school beauty was selected, she only lost a few votes to Yang Mi.
His popularity is second only to Yang Mi.
This time, Jing Tian spent three million to invest in the film of Gu Qingshan, a freshman in the Department of Management, which made Jing Tian famous. In particular, the students in the Department of Directing were like hungry wolves seeing fat meat.
As for Gu Qingshan, he went from being an unknown figure in the management department to becoming a prominent figure on campus in an instant.
Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian: one dared to approach Jing Tian for investment, and the other actually dared to invest.
The two were a perfect match, but who knows how much they'll lose.
Many people cursed in their hearts that Gu Qingshan's movie would definitely lose a lot of money, and it would be best if it couldn't even be released.
Of course, some people have already started working on a movie script and going to Jing Tian to ask for investment.
In particular, some self-important and talented people are already thinking about how to get a few million or eight million in investment from Jing Tian.
