Chapter 18 He is just a movie seller!
When people concentrate on doing things, time seems to pass especially quickly.

Editing, composing, and composing music.
You know what, Bai Youlou finally regained some of the feeling he had when he was a slave in his previous life.

The word "versatile" is really useful when you are showing off. It can gain you admiration from girls, shock from passers-by, and other positive emotions.

But if you want to save money, then doing everything yourself is a bit too much.

Fortunately, all this has come to an end for the time being.

He glanced at his phone and saw that he had sent a message to several groups of people more than an hour ago.

"Done, come quickly!"

An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you.

But unfortunately, Bai Youlou does not have so many elite soldiers and generals under his command.

The people who were finally summoned were still only two or three cats of that size.

Old Zhou is busy with renting a house, handling company procedures, submitting movies for review, and other miscellaneous tasks.

After finishing the filming, Long Ziqiang continued to "go to school" and worked as a resident singer in a bar.

And Zhang Xiaorong who had arrived earlier.

After the girl arrived and saw that Lao Zhou and the others had not arrived yet, she took the initiative to help clean up Bai Youlou's room. She was so natural when doing the work, just like when she was helping the crew before.

It’s not that she’s a good wife and mother, it’s just that this place is so chaotic that there’s no place to step.

When Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang arrived, Bai Youlou's small apartment had been completely renovated.

When the two birdmen saw Zhang Xiaorong, they winked at Bai Youlou.

"Fuck, did you really get Teacher Zhang? She stayed at your house last night?" Old Zhou lowered his voice and said in a somewhat obscene tone.

Bai Youlou chuckled and didn't give any answer.

But Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang had an expression that said "I understand".

As a man, you can complete a conversation with just a glance.

Of course, Bai Youlou was pretending.

Take it down?

Not to mention the permission to enter the house, he has only touched her hand twice so far.
The most recent time was when I handed the broom to Zhang Xiaorong just now. There may still be a lingering fragrance now.

Fortunately, Bai Youlou was not a pervert and did not smell his hand.

Of course he was interested in pretty girls, but after being together for some time, he found that girls like Zhang Xiaorong were too difficult to pick up. Even an old scumbag like him felt he had no idea where to start.

If you use dirty methods such as telling dirty jokes to tease her, she will just look at you quietly with a smile, without being defensive, shy or responding.

The literary and artistic methods, such as talking about Shakespeare, poetry, and art, are indeed possible, but people really only talk about these things with him, and it is difficult to talk about romantic things. If you don’t know, you might think it is a lecture.

It was a gangster's method. Bai Youlou was worried that if he pushed the girl against the wall, he would really be called to the police and arrested. He was very busy now, so it was better not to go in for the time being.

In short, Zhang Xiaorong is the type who doesn't fall for any tricks, no matter how strong you are, she's like a gentle breeze blowing over the hills.

However, after getting to know her, Bai Youlou discovered that she was not the kind of girl who was completely calm.

Occasionally I would say something shocking. Well, I kind of like telling jokes.

Sometimes, saying something like that out of the blue can have a humorous effect.

Of course, it is quite cold most of the time.
On the contrary, An Luning, who used her as a bridge and occasionally communicated with Bai Youlou across the air, has been talking more and more recently.

The arrogance is getting stronger
He cares more about Bai Youlou's previous film editing progress than Damn Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang.

It's hard to say how much his movie will do at the box office, but it's certain that An Luning will contribute to the box office, even though she said she would definitely not waste dozens of dollars to watch it.

Let me tell you a ghost story. Bai Youlou has not spoken to An Luning face to face since his "rebirth". But he feels that if he uses some targeted tactics on her, he might be able to win her over.
Of course, this could also be an illusion caused by Bai Youlou’s inflated self-confidence.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk, but it is not illegal to brag.
-
Now that everyone is here, it’s time to talk about the next plan.

There are only two things to do: send the film to some prestigious film festival, preferably one abroad.

It's not that they worship foreign things, but they want to sell the copyright. And to be honest, the debuff on Bai Youlou is too heavy for domestic film festivals, and the probability that the movie will be affected by him is not small.

Even though movies are considered art.

But art is always subjective.

Judges are also human beings. Judges of domestic film festivals are basically people from the domestic entertainment and film and television circles. That’s right, he just wants to "bully" foreigners who don’t know about his "glorious record" of seducing Ersao.

Lao Zhou had obviously done some research in advance: "Regarding the film festival, because you edited the film so fast, this weekend is the registration deadline for the Cannes Film Festival."

The Cannes Film Festival, one of the world's three major international film festivals, is the most influential and top international film festival in the world today.

From an artistic point of view, this is almost one of the most authoritative film festivals.

But in Bai Youlou's eyes, this is just an exhibition in the film industry, a purchasing site for supply and demand, and its commercial nature is greater than its artistic value.

Whether you can win an award is so damn mysterious. It all depends on fate. If you can't get this one, find some other way to win the award.

Before making a movie, of course the goals you set should be more ambitious.

But when it comes to serious practice, you have to focus on the present.

He is a movie seller!
"Come on, let's vote by raising our hands."

After all, everyone was invited to discuss it together, and Bai Youlou didn't want to appear so "dictatorial", so he took off his pants and farted.

Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang naturally responded immediately.

Even Long Ziqiang was excited, "Ah? Cannes Film Festival? Is it true that I can go to such a high-end place?!"

Bai Youlou was too lazy to pay attention to him and looked at Zhang Xiaorong instead.

The other party was stunned and pointed at himself, "Can I vote too?"

"hold head high!"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaorong was not disappointed at all. She immediately raised her hand with a smile, a very standard elementary school student's hand-raising gesture.

lovely!

"Can we really go to Cannes? That Cannes? Can we walk the red carpet?"

Long Ziqiang was still blabbering away, and Lao Zhou could only explain to him: "Do you know what registration means? Don't get excited until you're shortlisted."

Having said that, Lao Zhou's hands were actually shaking a little.

He graduated from the directing department.

Long Ziqiang has dreams, so could it be possible that he doesn't have them anymore?
Mom, I've made it! I'm going to Cannes!
Two grown men couldn't hold their nerve as well as a girl like Zhang Xiaorong.

After Bai Youlou complained a few words, Zhang Xiaorong asked seriously, "What is Cannes?"

wonderful!
"I remember you seem to be a teacher at the film school, right?"

This question made Zhang Xiaorong blush slightly as she explained, "I am a physical education teacher, and I did not graduate from a film school."

"Just check it out online yourself later, okay, next project."

Seeing that Bai Youlou was so "cruel" and didn't even give the girl an explanation, Lao Zhou and Long Ziqiang were heartbroken.

What on earth did this beautiful lady see in this guy?

Isn't it just that I'm a little more talented, a little more handsome, and a little taller. Forget it, let's hear what the next project is.
"Publicity. Lao Zhou has already negotiated with Huaxing about distribution today. Our movie will be released in about two months. Well, we have no publicity funds at all, so we can only rely on ourselves."

"How much money do you have left?" Lao Zhou asked quickly.

Bai Youlou looked at him with a smile, and this smile made Lao Zhou think: I knew you had something else to hide!
As a result, Bai Youlou's smile disappeared instantly, and he said expressionlessly: "Rent equipment, record and compose music."

After talking about a bunch of money-spending projects, he gave the final answer.

"Sixteen thousand four hundred and eighty-five dollars."
