Inside the car.
Reba herself didn't know how she had blurted out that sentence just now.
Mo Ge wouldn't have misunderstood, would he...?
Thinking of this, Reba couldn't help but blush.
......
Shanghai Theatre Academy.
Full name, Shanghai Theatre Academy.
Many well-known celebrities in the industry graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy, such as Hu Ge, who rose to fame from Chinese Paladin, Lu Yi, who played Zhuge Liang in the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Deng Deng, Lei Jiayin, Chen He, and so on.
Of course, besides celebrities, there are also many famous directors.
And Lin Mo.
He is now almost a senior.
He is the top student in directing professional courses.
After all.
In his previous life, he was an actor for more than ten years, so he naturally had a deep understanding of directing.
Because he was also preparing to transition into directing later.
After acting for more than ten years without achieving great success, he had to try a career change.
Moreover, in the future, web dramas and short dramas, for example, would be very profitable.
He was also preparing to get involved.
But who would have thought?
He actually transmigrated!
......
On this side.
After Lin Mo and Reba parted ways.
He prepared to go to Teacher Wang's house.
Although there is still a year until graduation.
However, many directing students have already started preparing to shoot their graduation projects.
Similarly.
Lin Mo is no exception.
Just yesterday, Teacher Wang called him, saying he wanted to talk to him.
It wasn't Lin Mo's first time at Teacher Wang's house.
He knew the way well.
He bought a bag of fruit and went to visit.
He rang the doorbell.
From behind the door came the warm and kind voice of his teacher's wife, Li Li: "It's Little Lin!"
"Hello, Teacher's Wife!"
"Your teacher is catching up with an old classmate!"
Li Li said as she bent down to find slippers for Lin Mo.
Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly stepped forward: "Teacher's Wife, I can do it myself, please don't bother."
"Oh, Little Lin, you're just too polite, child." Teacher's Wife Li Li smiled and straightened up, "When you come here, treat it like your own home, don't be so reserved."
After entering the house.
He saw his teacher chatting with a middle-aged man.
"Old Teng, this is my favorite student, Lin Mo!" Teacher Wang introduced with a proud look.
Teng Huatao heard this, turned around, and extended his right hand with a smile, saying: "Lin Mo, hello, Old Wang has praised you endlessly in front of me, saying you are talented and have unlimited potential. Seeing you today, it's true, you are indeed a handsome and capable young man!"
Lin Mo's heart stirred upon hearing Teng Huatao's name, and he immediately extended his hand: "Director Teng, hello, I really liked your directed 'dwelling narrowness'. That drama left a deep impression on me."
Teng Huatao heard this, a complex emotion flashed across his face, and he waved his hand with a bitter smile: "Those are all things of the past, no need to mention them."
That's right.
The drama 'dwelling narrowness' was indeed directed by Teng Huatao. This TV series was incredibly popular back then, achieving super high ratings when it aired.
However.
Lin Mo knew him not because of this drama.
But because of a famous movie Director Teng made in the future, "Shanghai Fortress."
How to describe Teng Huatao? He's strange.
He can direct hit TV shows and movies like 'dwelling narrowness' and 'love is not blind'.
He can also direct terrible movies like "Shanghai Fortress."
Ever since he directed hit dramas like 'dwelling narrowness', people in the industry thought he was about to take off.
But in the following years, the dramas he directed got worse and worse, and their ratings dropped one after another.
That's why.
Recently, he was preparing to shoot another drama, but he couldn't find any investors.
When people heard it was directed by Teng Huatao, Goodfellas, they were scared and didn't dare to invest.
Moreover, this time Teng Huatao was even bolder.
He actually stopped making TV dramas and switched to movies.
If he couldn't even make good TV dramas, who would believe he could make good movies?
So, this was also what troubled Teng Huatao recently. He just came to Shanghai to raise investments, and passing by here, he naturally wanted to catch up with old friends and complain about his hardships. (Disclaimer again: This is a parallel world, and the background of Teng Huatao here is different from reality.)
Just like that.
Lin Mo quietly listened to Teacher Wang and Director Teng chat from the side.
He would occasionally interject a few words.
But very quickly.
He heard an important piece of information.
It turned out that Director Teng's transition to making movies this time was because he had obtained a very good script.
That's right, it was 'love is not blind'.
Lin Mo remembered this movie very clearly.
It was definitely a dark horse movie.
And it was a typical example of low investment, high box office.
If he remembered correctly.
That year, the total investment of this movie did not exceed ten million, but the total box office reached an astonishing 350 million.
It was even named one of the top ten excellent Chinese romance films for the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up.
Now...
This movie actually had no investors.
Goodfellas.
Lin Mo exclaimed Goodfellas!
Isn't this like gold falling from the sky?
If he invested in this movie, he would definitely take off in minutes.
Must be calm, calm...
If this wasn't at Teacher Wang's house.
Lin Mo would have definitely smoked a cigarette to calm himself down.
After eating at the teacher's house.
On the way back.
Lin Mo took out his phone and started chatting with Director Teng, casually.
For example, he asked Director Teng some professional knowledge.
And Teng Huatao had a good impression of this junior and his old classmate's favorite student.
As they chatted.
Lin Mo got to the point.
"Director Teng, how much funding is still needed for your movie?"
At the same time.
On the other side.
On the way back to the hotel.
Teng Huatao saw this message and couldn't help but be stunned.
What does that mean?
Could it be...
Lin Mo wants to invest in his movie?
Old Wang never told him about Lin Mo's family background.
Could it be that the other party is a rich second generation?
So, Teng Huatao, holding a glimmer of hope, replied: "Just a little bit more, 4 million."
In reality.
He hadn't received a single cent of investment for the movie 'love is not blind'.
And this was originally a romance film, so it didn't require much investment, around 5 million would be enough, and he himself could only come up with 1 million at most.
Of course.
Teng Huatao didn't take this matter to heart; he thought Lin Mo was just asking casually.
On this side.
Lin Mo couldn't help but smile when he saw Director Teng's reply.
Director Teng, you're not being honest.
The total investment for 'love is not blind' doesn't even exceed ten million, probably around six or seven million. You're telling me that's "just a little bit"? I think it's "a lot"!
Lin Mo plans to borrow money from Reba.
As much as he can borrow.
Anyway, as long as he invests in this movie.
It's definitely going to take off!
Even if the script is different from his previous life, he has seen this movie, so he can give suggestions when the time comes, after all, he is one of the investors.
