Chapter 004 - So Much, So Much Money

　　Lu Yuan used to have very low self-esteem.

　　Rural, and single-parent, and poor, he was looked down upon, ostracized, and isolated since he was a child ...

　　This can not be low self-esteem?

　　But people are so strange, so contradictory.

　　The more inferior people are, the more proud they are.

　　Lu Yuan is such a contradiction.

　　"I met you," a round of applause rang out in the cafe after a moment of silence.

　　But no one cheered, the atmosphere of "To Alice" was still there, so people couldn't bear to break the peace.

　　Lu Yuan took the napkin next to him and wiped the sweat on his hands and forehead, then carefully threw the napkin into the paper basket and bowed to the crowd with what he thought was a very elegant bow.

　　Perhaps because of the piano music, Lu Yuan, who didn't look very handsome, had a hazy glow in Wang Haoxue's eyes.

　　Wang Haoxue also began to applaud.

　　This piano piece really deserved her applause.

　　Lu Yuan was actually very pleased in his heart, and could even be said to be so happy that he couldn't find his way out.

　　But he knew that he couldn't be too pleased, not only couldn't he be too pleased, instead he had to act very holy and pious.

　　Low-key, modest, as if doing an insignificant little thing in general.

　　If the only flaw was that Lu Yuan was not wearing a tuxedo, it looked a little less interesting.

　　Lu Yuan actually regretted it.

　　There was actually a second-hand tuxedo in that clothing store, and although it looked a bit rustic, it was really good.

　　Unfortunately, he picked the suit.

　　Why?

　　Because the suit was a hundred dollars cheaper.

　　Okay.

　　It's hard to beat a hero for a penny!

　　Pretending to be a hero, there was still a very helpless and speechless problem in front of Lu Yuan.

　　He was very short of money.

　　"One more song!"

　　"One more song!"

　　"Play this one again!"

　　"Play it again!"

　　"Again ..."

　　The applause slowly subsided, and after it subsided, I don't know who took the lead and yelled, followed by the entire cafe clamoring again.

　　The young girl who had just played the piano also looked up at Lu Yuan, very much hoping that Lu Yuan would play another song.

　　At the same time, there was also Wang Haoxue.

　　Lu Yuan once again looked at everyone, then shook his head.

　　"No, I still have things to do today, and besides, I'm not very good at playing the piano ...," Lu Yuan revealed a naive smile, very honest and sincere.

　　Lu Yuan felt that appropriately revealing his sincere nature didn't affect the pretense, and it even added a bit of icing on the cake.

　　The first time I saw him, I was so happy to see that he was not a good piano player.

　　????

　　At this moment, Wang Haoxue couldn't wait to take off her shoes and viciously whip Lu Yuan's face, so hard that Lu Yuan wouldn't even recognize his parents.

　　Not very good at playing the piano?

　　What does this mean?

　　What did you just say?

　　Do you think I can't even play the piano?

　　Wang Haoxue suddenly felt that Lu Yuan's face is hateful, there was still a little bit of light suddenly dissipated and became ugly.

　　Then ...

　　"You really aren't very good at playing the piano?" Wang Haoxue suddenly stepped forward to stare at Lu Yuan.

　　"Well, it's true that I'm not very good at it."

　　"Then what are you good at!"

　　"I said I'm a screenwriter and director!"

　　Wang Haoxue's gaze wanted to be sharp, so sharp that Lu Yuan subconsciously thought of backing away.

　　But ...

　　He couldn't.

　　If he took a step back in full view of everyone, then the momentum he had just put on for so long would be gone.

　　Therefore, Lu Yuan could not retreat!

　　Dignity made it necessary for him to confront Wang Haoxue.

　　Could Lu Yuan still play?

　　Yes!

　　At least he could play three more songs!

　　However, he could only play three songs in total.

　　He couldn't just take them all out and play them all, could he?

　　That's not possible.

　　Moreover, the most important thing now is not to pretend to be good, but to sell the script at a good price.

　　The primary and secondary should still be separated.

　　"Oh, then talk about the details of the investment." Wang Haoxue withdrew her gaze and turned around to continue walking towards the second floor.

　　"Okay!" Lu Yuan followed behind Wang Haoxue and walked towards the second floor under everyone's regretful gazes.

　　Seeing that both of them had left and the hall was so quiet, the young girl subconsciously sat back on her piano chair and played her skillful "Nier River Maiden", but no matter how she played it, she realized that the melody of "To Alice" was always echoing in her mind. The melody of "To Alice" was always echoing in her mind no matter how she played it.

　　It was like a wave of brainwashing, hitting her one after another, leaving her in no condition at all.

　　When she was in a state of total disorientation, the melody she played naturally began to fall apart.

　　She was annoyed.

　　Of course, Lu Yuan, who was drinking coffee on the second floor, did not feel that the melody had changed.

　　He didn't care about this at all.

　　He was very excited right now.

　　His own script would finally trick a fat goat, and it seemed like he was really going to make the first bucket of money in his life.

　　Low key, low key!

　　Calm, calm!

　　He repeatedly reminded himself.

　　"How much do you think it will cost to shoot out this movie?"

　　"Naturally, it's more than enough, and it won't make you regret it."

　　"Are you sure that the movie you make will be a big seller, or, that you can keep the money and not lose it?"

　　"I can."

　　"I have to remind you, the movie market is very depressed right now, eighty percent of the movies are losing money."

　　"That's them, that's not me."

　　"You're very confident." Wang Haoxue felt that glow radiating from Lu Yuan again!

　　"Yes."

　　Confident?

　　Lu Yuan was never there.

　　Because Lu Yuan didn't understand the current market and movies at all, if he really had to say, he was just less than half a bucket of water.

　　However, Lu Yuan felt that it didn't matter.

　　He wanted money.

　　Taking a sum of money was fine, and it was none of his business as to whether he lost money or not.

　　When he heard that 80% of the movies lost money, Lu Yuan was very relieved.

　　If everyone loses money, it doesn't matter if I lose money too!

　　He was at peace with himself.

　　However, he couldn't show this emotion.

　　Moreover, he had to appear confident and wise enough.

　　Wang Haoxue stared at him.

　　He also looked at Wang Haoxue.

　　"One million, I'll invest one million."

　　"One million ...," Lu Yuan was a little shocked.

　　"Yes, I don't have much money I can use right now, only one million." Looking at Lu Yuan's gaze a bit dumbfounded, Wang Haoxue thought that she had invested less, her face slightly flashed a trace of redness then turned firm again.

　　The cost of one million dollars to make a movie is indeed too small.

　　The quality of movie shooting is one aspect, but publicity is also another.

　　Both are complementary and indispensable.

　　One million ...

　　It's really hard to make a good movie.

　　It really wasn't enough.

　　"I see." Lu Yuan's fingers were slightly trembling.

　　He originally only wanted to snub two hundred thousand or one hundred thousand.

　　He didn't expect to snub a million!

　　This had completely exceeded his expectations.

　　In fact, he hadn't seen this much money since he was born.

　　He suddenly felt that he was going to be rich.

　　He remembered that year's evening when he was running under the setting sun.

　　That was his lost youth.

　　In the future he would be able to speed in his car at sunset without having to run on his feet.

　　That was success!

　　At this moment he wanted very much to curse the son of a bitch youth.

　　Successful people?

　　It was such a concept.

　　"Can you shoot it?" Wang Haoxue was suddenly a little worried "Why don't I find someone to borrow some?"

　　"Do you believe in talent?" Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Wang Haoxue.

　　"???" Wang Haoxue froze.

　　What's going on here?

　　"One million dollars, combined with my talent, is enough to make this movie shine, this is my bank card number." Lu Yuan revealed a smile and very quickly took out an agricultural bank card.

　　He was good at putting gold on his face!

　　Once he was a naive, honest, spare tire level good guy who would blush when he told a lie.

　　But from now on, he wasn't anymore!

　　He, was going to change!

　　The piano music continued to play downstairs.

　　The guests of the café continued to listen to the piano quietly.

　　Lu Yuan smiled brightly.

　　He thought he had a wise smile.

　　But the vegetable leaves in his teeth betrayed him.

　　"What about the contract?" Wang Haoxue looked at Lu Yuan.

　　"The contract?" Lu Yuan was slightly stunned.

　　"Didn't you prepare the contract for pulling the investment?"

　　"I prepared it, it's placed in the company, and it's very detailed!" Lu Yuan's face was red and his heart was not jumping "You give me a cell phone number, I'll take it to you tomorrow?"

　　"No need to be so troublesome, I'll go with you to the company to get it."

　　"Huh? This ..."

　　"Isn't it okay? As an investor, I think I'm qualified to visit the company on your contract to confirm it, right?" Wang Haoxue looked at Lu Yuan.

　　She was now that much more interested in Lu Yuan.

　　"..."

　　Lu Yuan panicked!

　　Company?

　　Where would I get a company when I can't even get a fucking meal?

　　At this moment, Lu Yuan looked out the window with a deep gaze.

　　The sunlight outside the window ...

　　He remembered running in the sunset.

　　He thought of his lost youth.

　　When he thought of his youth, he remembered ...

　　Two blooms?

　　No!

　　Others are two blooms, he seems to be two explosions ...

　　My name is Lu Yuan.

　　I'm very square now.

　　What should I do?
