I am popular in the entertainment circle

Chapter 89 I’m still a student

Director Zeng cannot spend as much money as top foreign teams do, because the total budget is here, but he can learn from foreign teams and spend half of the money on special effects.

But what Meng Ran said about 30 million moved him.

With the current domestic film market, if you dare to spend 30 million for special effects, the total budget should be at least 100 million. This is still a relatively reliable crew.

Thinking about the effects that could be achieved, how could he not be tempted?

It was like a piece of sweet cake was placed in front of him. Its fragrant and sweet fragrance made him unable to take his eyes away for a long time. His intuition told him that if he missed this opportunity, he would definitely regret it in the future.

At this moment, the phone dinged.

Director Zeng subconsciously picked it up and took a look, but it was a message from Meng Ran.

He couldn't help but look at Meng Ran, not quite understanding what this meant.

Meng Randao,

"This cost list was sent to me by my friend. Although I really hope that Director Zeng can invest most of the money in special effects, so that the film will be more likely to be a hit, but in the end it is yours

I won't make a rash decision about a movie. There are three grades, it depends on Director Zeng which one you want to choose."

After Meng Ran finished speaking, he stood up.

"There is a high probability that we won't be able to finish talking today. I have asked you to think about it carefully."

Director Zeng wanted to stop Meng Ran from leaving, but in the end he could not make up his mind to spend 15 million on special effects. He only used 5 million to make the movie. This was a huge compression of funds.

Meng Ran had confidence in him, but he didn't have confidence himself.

Back at Mingyue Hotel, Shi Jiayue was preparing lessons. When he saw Meng Ran coming back, he quickly raised his head and asked a little nervously,

"Sister Meng, how was the discussion with Director Zeng? Did he agree to your conditions?"

Meng Ran smiled mysteriously,

"Don't worry, he will agree, but he still needs time to think about it."

"oh."

Shi Jiayue responded,

"Then let's start class now."

The smile on Meng Ran's face fell instantly. At this moment, she seemed to have swapped roles with Shi Jiayue.

Before, she was Shi Jiayue's boss, and Shi Jiayue was just a small assistant. The next moment, she turned into a scumbag who made Shi Jiayue hate iron.

Even her sweet appearance couldn't erase the teacher's feeling of oppression towards the poor student.

Shi Jiayue chuckled.

Although she didn't get along with Meng Ran for a long time, she could still feel Meng Ran's rejection of learning.

He is obviously such a great person in other aspects, but every time he talks about studying, his high spirits and guidance disappear instantly.

She felt very strange and couldn't help but ask,

"Sister Meng, since you have no talent in this area, why do you still study hard? Grades are not everything. If your grades are not good, you can still do other things, and your career will be done well."

These days, in addition to tutoring Meng Ran with his homework, she also follows Meng Ran's accounts on various platforms.

Except for [Paparazzi Zhao] from the entertainment industry, who cannot see anyone, I can say that I have watched all the videos shot by Meng Ran.

She thinks Meng Ran is very good, whether as an actor, makeup artist, or props artist, the jewelry she makes is so beautiful.

You can support yourself with this alone, so why bother studying?

Learning is naturally important when they are a student.

But Sister Meng has already stepped out of society.

Meng Ran put his hands on her shoulders with a heavy voice,

"Because I'm still a student."

Shi Jiayue was very surprised.

But when the two faced each other, she saw the unshakable determination in Meng Ran's eyes, and she immediately believed this reason, which sounded very perfunctory.

A feeling of sympathy arose in my heart: Sister Meng is only seventeen years old this year. According to her, she should be in her senior year of high school. However, in order to pay off her debts, she had to drop out of school and venture into the entertainment industry.

Unlike her, at Sister Meng's age she was still a carefree student.

The only thing I have to worry about is the upcoming college entrance examination.

After that, I spent four very relaxing and enjoyable years in college.

She clenched her fists and said very firmly,

"Sister Meng, don't worry, I will definitely teach you well. I will try to teach you all the junior high school courses this year and teach you high school next year. Then I will find a way to help you get a name in high school. Then you will be able to compete with other students of the same age.

I’m going to take the college entrance examination as well.”

Meng Ran thought: Thank you so much.

If Shi Jiayue can really teach herself in two years, then Meng Ran is willing to pay her one million in tuition fees, hoping that she can always maintain such a firm belief.

Meng Ran choked and said,

"Okay, let's work hard together."

At this time, Shi Jiayue didn't know what kind of bad student he was about to face.

You must know that she has been very successful in tutoring Meng Ran in his homework these days. This is entirely because Meng Ran has learned these lessons not long ago and has not been idle during the month he was in bed recovering from his injuries.

Next, they waited for Director Zeng's reply while making up lessons. At the same time, Meng Ran also pulled Shi Jiayue to teach her various aspects of acting. Now that they have the script, Meng Ran can pull her to act opposite.

It doesn't matter if her acting skills are young, this is a character that is almost customized according to her.

Meng Ran taught her how to act her true self in front of the camera.

Her level of completion is very high.

Taking up a lot of time on the show, Shi Jiayue has not yet discovered the fact that Meng Ran is a terrible scumbag.

From contacting Director Zeng to making the decision, it only took half a month.

On this day, Meng Ran and Shi Jiayue packed their bags and were about to go to the crew to officially start filming.

Almost all the shots of this movie were shot in the villa, and Director Zeng had already found a suitable villa in advance and rented it.

This villa is not in the imperial capital, it is a bit far away from here, and it would take them half a day to fly there.

It is worth mentioning that Director Zeng helped me buy the plane tickets.

Meng Ran was sitting on the plane, feeling a little excited.

She hasn't flown on a plane yet.

Whether in her previous life or this life, the most expensive means of transportation she has ever taken is probably the high-speed rail.

At this time, Shi Jiayue's identity has been perfectly transformed into a small assistant. She must have flown on a plane before, and she is familiar with the way to help Meng Ran complete all the procedures and find the location.

The two of them are sitting next to each other.

On the plane, Meng Ran also met Director Zeng, the leading actor, and a group of cannon fodder characters.

That's right, the main scenes in this movie are between a female lead and a male lead, and there is no male lead.

There is no third male either.

They are all cannon fodder. At best, they are cannon fodder with more roles, and those with less roles will be destroyed in the villa.

This leading actor was quite beyond Meng Ran's expectation. He turned out to be Xu Lejin.

This is their second match.

It's just that in "Blue Water Falls in the Sky", the other party played the male lead and she played the third female lead. Unlike this time, they directly became the male and female leads.

Meng Ran noticed that there was no surprised look on Xu Lejin's face. Instead, she was proud and winked at her.

Obviously the other party knows, is this a surprise for yourself?
