In the first half of 1999, it did not bloom.

The "Love in the Internet Age" that Lu Xiao participated in previously had already been released. Naturally, it did not cause any commotion. Other than industry insiders, the general public did not seem to know that such a movie existed.

The World Cup was over and the timeline did not change. The French team lifted the World Cup as scheduled. Lu Xiao finally received his first windfall after his rebirth, 10,000 yuan.

It was better than nothing. At this stage, he could only let Lu Xiao eat a few more times.

In the dormitory, Lu Xiao threw down the fountain pen in his hand and let out a long sigh.

After a few months of hard work, the script for "Happy Death Day" was finally completed. Lu Xiao's directing progress was +1.

He looked at the time. There were still two hours until dinner time.

Lu Xiao walked out of the school unsteadily and took the No. 635 bus.

An hour later, they got off at the North Taipingqiao Station. After getting off the car, they had to walk another kilometer to reach the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio, which was currently the largest studio in Asia.

Of course, Lu Xiao did not come here today to attract investors. How could it be so fast? It was because Student Hu's first TV series,"Ci of the Great Ming Palace," had finished filming!

After more than half a year, Lu Xiao finally officially established a relationship with Student Hu.

He was here to pick up his girlfriend from work today.

Student Hu was not famous now, but he had a lot of work to do. After filming the movie, he joined the crew of "Ci of the Great Ming Palace" not long after.

Student Hu played the role of Empress Wei when she was a child. She did not have many scenes. Most of the scenes were with Young Master Zhou, who played the role of the young Princess Taiping. Of course, Young Master Zhou only appeared in six episodes...

As it was close to night, there were not many extras waiting at the entrance of the Northern Film Studio. Lu Xiao blended in with them and perfectly blended into the segment.

She looked around and did not find the baby's honest face. At this time, the baby had already started to drift north, but Lu Xiao had come several times but did not meet him.

Not long after, Hu Jing walked out of the Beijing Film Studio and looked around for a certain someone.

Lu Xiao hurriedly waved his hand. Student Hu's eyes lit up and he ran over.

He skillfully took the bag from Hu Mingshu's hand and the two of them held hands, leaving the group of extras with envious and surprised backs.

"Let's go! Miss Hu's first TV series ended perfectly. We have to celebrate."

Naturally, the production team would not specially hold a wrap up banquet for Student Hu, so Lu Xiao had to make it up to his girlfriend. The first movie of an actor was still very memorable.

At the dining table, Hu Jing's small mouth was full of food. Lu Xiao rolled the roast duck for her and asked,"How are you doing on set? Are you used to it?"

Hu Jing narrowed her eyes and nodded."It's alright. There's not much to do with this production team. Brother Xun is a good person and takes good care of me."

Brother Xun had been in society for a long time, but she was only a little famous now. She would wait until the release of Suzhou Creek in 2000 to start her own road to fame.

Being in the industry early meant that she had a lot of experience. With her around, the newbie Hu Jing could relax a little.

"I know Brother Xun. She acted in Director Kaizi's 'Moon Brew'. I have a deep impression of the dancer in it. Hey, speaking of Director Kaizi, has he visited the production team?" Lu Xiao asked curiously.

"How can it be so fast? Sister Chen Hong has just joined the crew. Let me tell you, Sister Chen Hong is really too beautiful. She really looks like Diao Chan walking out of a book."

Chen Hong had played Diao Chan, Chang'e, and Madam Gan. She was a famous beauty.

"It's alright. I think you look better." Lu Xiao said against his will. His EQ was already full.

Student Hu rolled his eyes."Tsk ~ Do you always lie through your teeth like this?"

"Of course not. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You are the most beautiful in my eyes."

"But she is Diao Chan."

Student Hu, do you want to quarrel…

"Don't just talk about me. Are you done with the script?"

"Yes, it's done. I'll go to Teacher Huang tomorrow and ask him to recommend it."

Lu Xiao was not prepared to look for private funds. Firstly, he did not have a way. Secondly, he was afraid that he would encounter someone who was not particular and directly blacken his creativity and script.

Therefore, it was best to recommend the script of "Happy Death Day" to the Beijing Film Studio through the teachers of the Central Drama Academy. In the end, even if they did not like it, Lu Xiao's name would be on the project.

The next day, Lu Xiao came to the teacher's building.

"Teacher Huang, you're here. Is it convenient now? I've written a script here. Can you give me some advice?"

Mr. Huang was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was usually very friendly and had a good relationship with his classmates. Lu Xiao found him immediately.

Putting down the newspaper in her hand, Ms. Huang took the script from Lu Xiao and said kindly,"Lu Xiao, sit down for a while. Pour the water on the table yourself. I'll take a look first."

The script was very thick and Lu Xiao had prepared it in detail.

Every page of the script was marked with time, accurate to the second. From beginning to end, it was exactly 90 minutes.

Most of the Hollywood scripts in the future were like this, but it was not common in China now.

Of course, there would also be Hollywood directors who would release themselves and cut out some extremely long films. Some would be amazing, and some would become divine works. That was a matter of opinion.

Lu Xiao's storytelling script was well-done. Although it was not stunning, there was nothing wrong with it.

When she flipped to the storyboard at the back, Ms. Huang frowned.

The storyboard was actually very complete, but the strange thing was that Lu Xiao had also marked the time scale on each picture.

Most of the time, the actual effect of the shot was often different from the image imagined in the mind. Therefore, before the final film was released, the control of the shot time would be very vague, so no one would calculate the shot time before shooting.

However, Lu Xiao was different. He was now a porter of movies. He cut out the movies from his previous life frame by frame, and the camera language was the same as before, not changing it at all!

Ms. Huang put down the script and said,"The story is very creative and the script is very neat. It's just that the later version of the story is a little ridiculous. Who would fix everything before filming starts?"

"To save costs, Teacher Huang. I'm an unknown, inexperienced, and unconnected director. I can't think too much about it. If the budget is sufficient, I dare to write an outline and start shooting."

"How do you want me to help you? Let me make it clear first, I don't have any way to find an investment." Teacher Huang gave Lu Xiao a heads-up to prevent him from making any unrealistic requests.

"No, it's just that if this script is still okay, can you help me contact the Beijing Film Studio? They won't bother with me even if I go there myself."

Teacher Huang nodded."Alright then. Leave the script with me for now. I'll help you pass the message. Whether it's okay or not depends on that side."

"Alright, thank you!"
