Chapter 195 Cao Baoping

Zeng Li slapped her boyfriend in embarrassment. How could she use joking words in work communication?

Yang Lingyue finally reacted and couldn't help laughing. She couldn't help but hug her legs and exchanged words.

After a while, Zeng Li said, "Aren't you going there today?"

"When did I say I was going there?" Yang Lingyue said helplessly.

"Hehe, isn't it the two-one-two pattern?" Zeng Li sneered.

"Oh, you are starting to summarize the rules."

Yang Lingyue slapped him lightly and then said, "My mother and your mother both called me today."

"What did you say? Why didn't my mother call me?" Zeng Li paused and shifted her attention decisively.

"Of course they praised us and said we are a perfect match." Yang Lingyue smiled.

"Oh, be serious." Zeng Li frowned and said angrily.

"Really, they all watched the live broadcast and basically said this. Of course, your mother mainly praised me and my mother mainly praised you." Yang Lingyue said seriously.

"Yeah, they are a perfect match everywhere, dear, let's go back to the bedroom." Zeng Li's eyes began to shimmer, and she held her boyfriend's shoulders and whispered.

The next day was the last day before the Labor Day holiday.

In the morning, Yang Lingyue attended a class of "Script Writing" in the Department of Literature. She originally wanted to observe several talents while attending class, but her mind was attracted by the teacher.

The teaching was not lively, and it could even be said to be very strict. Occasionally, if a student was distracted and sleepy, he would scold him, but what he taught was very practical. The teacher was called Cao Baoping.

He was the director who made "Li Mi's Conjecture", "The Burning Sun" and "The Murderer", and taught how to write scripts. Of course, his movies were basically written and directed by himself.

Many people say that he made art films, including many people who think that some movies with director's expression are art films. In fact, this is biased and inappropriate.

Cao Baoping's movies are all realistic themes, and the attitude of expression is similar to that of Section Chief Jia, which is very objective.

Cao Baoping obviously noticed Yang Lingyue. He couldn't help but notice that, except for students from the Department of Literature, almost no students from other departments were willing to take his class for fear of being scolded.

After class, Cao Baoping specifically called Yang Lingyue and asked, "Do you understand? Can you keep up?"

"Yes, it's very inspiring, Teacher Cao. I may come to your class often in the future, okay?" Yang Lingyue showed a row of white teeth.

"Of course, you have to do homework in my class." Cao Baoping also smiled.

"Uh, Teacher Cao, this may be a bit difficult. I'm very busy." Yang Lingyue was stunned and told the truth.

For a moment, Cao Baoping didn't know how to respond. He was a little upset. He simply waved his hand and went to organize his own lesson plan.

"Teacher Cao, have you prepared a new work recently?" Yang Lingyue seemed not to see Cao Baoping's look of shooing him away like a fly.

"What's wrong?" Cao Baoping asked.

"Teacher Cao, this is my business card. I have a film and television company. In addition to making it convenient for me to shoot some films myself, I also invest. I have invested in Ning Hao's new film, and I also have some channels for overseas copyright operations." Yang Lingyue handed over the business card calmly.

Cao Baoping was stunned, took the business card and looked at it, then looked at Yang Lingyue, and smiled: "I am a graduate of the 85th grade of the Film Academy, which is the predecessor of the so-called sixth generation of directors. Besides, aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"Teacher Cao, I will not look at the problem from a standpoint, and I don't have the habit of knocking down a boat with one stick. I still maintain good communication with Section Chief Jia and Director Jia. As for the loss of money you mentioned, hey, how about we sign a few film contracts? How many you want, I will invest as much as you want." Yang Lingyue said with a smile.

Signing a student is not as satisfying as signing a teacher directly. Once Cao Baoping is signed, with his qualifications of teaching for more than ten years, are you afraid of not finding a few talents?

Besides, although Cao Baoping's films did not do well at the domestic box office, they were quite popular abroad starting with "Li Mi's Conjecture". If they sold the copyrights a little, the cost would be recovered. If they didn't lose money, they would make money.

"There is a script recently. I plan to attract investment after May Day. Let's take a look?"

Cao Baoping paused. Is this student so generous? Although he has filmed "The Wrath of Glory", it has not been released yet. He has been making deletions and revisions, which makes him a little overwhelmed. The investors of the film are all official institutions. It is too difficult to attract investment.

"Okay." Yang Lingyue nodded.

Then Yang Lingyue followed Cao Baoping to his office. Sure enough, it was "Li Mi's Conjecture".

This film was originally mainly invested by Huayi. Huayi did not want to invest, but Mr. Zhou, who had just signed the contract, wanted to act. After a stalemate for a month, the investment was not too much, and Cao Baoping pulled in another investment to share the risk. Only then did he barely get 6 million to shoot it.

Unexpectedly, the box office in the mainland was not bad in the end, 12 million.

The first three days were over 8 million, and then the schedule dropped sharply, which was abnormal. It can only be said that the investor, Huayi, was not good enough.

Yang Lingyue flipped through a few pages, looked at the character biographies, and found that there was not much difference from the original film.

"Teacher Cao, let's leave a contact number and contact you in one or two days. Have you made a budget?" Yang Lingyue took out his mobile phone and said.

Sure enough, Cao Baoping opened the drawer and took out a folder. Yang Lingyue took a look and saw 8 million.

Tsk, no wonder the original film was a bit rough, it turned out that it only raised 6 million at that time.

"Li Mi, I plan to ask Mr. Zhou to play." Cao Baoping said so.

"Then is this budget enough?" Yang Lingyue asked doubtfully.

Cao Baoping did not answer, but looked at Yang Lingyue with a strange expression.

"Hey, I see." Yang Lingyue smiled.

These first-line actors are not short of good commercial film scripts, but they are short of films that can win them awards. Fan Bingbing was paid 100,000 yuan to play "Apple"....

Then the two went to the cafeteria to have lunch together. During the lunch, they talked about the general content of the script. Cao Baoping was mostly talking and Yang Lingyue was listening. Of course, he would chat from time to time.

This made Cao Baoping feel that Yang Lingyue was really an extraordinary student. He could basically understand the content and meaning of the story by looking at the overview and the character biography.

Once a man came to a strange city for a girl. Later, the city became familiar and the girl became a familiar stranger.

In fact, it was not bad. After all, someone came to a strange city from thousands of miles away just to see a girl, but became a bird without feet.

In short, the chat was quite pleasant. Later, when talking about their hometowns, they were both from Shanxi Province.

Cao Baoping was from Datong.

This inevitably brought them closer. Cao Baoping even joked, "Come to my class anytime. I won't check your homework."
