Chapter 197 Didn’t Go to College
Since the little girl said so, Director Wu had no choice but to believe it.
"Then let's try it first."
As he spoke, he began to prepare the props for the scene.
In the octagonal pavilion, a guzheng was placed on the table.
Outside the pavilion, there was a crowd of people watching.
Everyone in the crew heard that Ruan Tang learned to play the guzheng in just half an hour.
"Is this true? You must be bragging!"
"Who knows? He said he had learned piano before, so he has a basic foundation."
"No matter how fast it goes, half an hour is too much!"
"Whether it will happen or not, we will know in a moment."
……
Under everyone's attention, Ruan Tang walked to Guzheng.
The young man in white was sitting upright with his robe raised. Even without bathing or burning incense, he gave people a sense of the elegance and grace that was unique to a noble young man from an ancient family.
The slender fingers touched the strings and plucked them gently.
The strings and the pillars are graceful like a veil blowing across your face, and rippling like sparkling waters.
Everyone was fascinated by what they heard and couldn't help shaking their heads.
It was not until the sound of the piano faded away that he gradually came back to his senses.
The shock in his eyes could not be hidden.
Oh my god, I really learned it.
Director Wu couldn't help but raise his hands and applaud, "Great, this is exactly the effect I wanted."
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have rehearsed and would have started shooting right away.
The other crew members couldn't help but exclaim, "Ruan Tang, did you really learn the guzheng in just half an hour?"
Ruan Tang said modestly: "It's not that exaggerated, I only know this one song."
He just had a good memory and remembered the order and fingering of the little girl plucking the strings. If he really wanted to learn the guzheng, even if he had the basics, it wouldn't be so exaggerated.
"That's pretty impressive, it's only been half an hour."
"It's the young master who taught me well."
Ruan Tang bowed and thanked the little girl beside him.
The little girl blushed shyly and waved her hands repeatedly, "You are smart, I only taught you once and you learned it!"
Everyone was amazed again.
I got it after watching it once. Isn't this a genius?
"Ruan Tang, were you a top student when you were in school?"
"Is he the number one in our drama academy?"
No, every year when those drama academies recruit students, all major media outlets compete to report on it.
If Ruan Tang really got the first place in the exam, given his looks, he would not be unknown.
Ruan Tang said calmly: "I never went to college."
In fact, he had been there, but the original owner hadn’t, and didn’t even finish high school.
The adoptive mother cried poor in front of him every day, saying that she had no money to send him to school, and forced the original owner to work.
The original owner didn't want to, he wanted to study.
But his adoptive mother went straight to the school and had him expelled.
Originally, they wanted to send the original owner to a factory to tighten screws, but the original owner was not of the legal age and the factory was unwilling to accept him.
Finally, he could only be sent to the restaurant kitchen to work as a kitchen helper.
The little money I earned was all taken away by my adoptive mother.
In fact, the original owner had good grades since childhood. Even when he was exploited by his adoptive mother's family, had to take care of all the housework and take care of his younger sister, his grades were still among the top ten in the grade.
If his life had not been stolen, he would have grown into a very outstanding person!
……
"Huh? Is that so?"
The person asking the question scratched his head in embarrassment.
Although I couldn't believe it, looking at Ruan Tang's gloomy eyes, I knew he was not joking.
Did he ask the wrong question?
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the others quickly changed the subject, "Ruan Tang, tell us what other skills you have besides playing the piano, and see if you can give Director Wu less money for being a stand-in."
“I also know a little bit about calligraphy and painting.”
"Good boy, I saved the trouble of writing a substitute."
"I also learned some self-defense skills."
"There's no need for a substitute."
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Director Wu asked.
At the end of the script, there is a scene where the hero is on horseback, killing enemies on the battlefield.
I originally thought of using a body double, or even a prop horse, but if Ruan Tang really knows how to ride a horse, then I would have to think carefully about how to shoot this scene.
Ruan Tang nodded, "Yes."
Everyone gasped, not just in amazement at Ruan Tang's omnipotence.
Instead, he had already guessed Director Wu's plan.
In the final battlefield scenes, the male lead didn't even need a body double, so it would be even more difficult to use a body double for these supporting roles.
Director Wu could see what everyone was thinking, "Don't think too much. Even if I want to shoot it, the crew may not be able to come up with the budget."
Such a large-scale scene requires renting venues and horses, as well as recruiting extras, which are all considerable expenses.
And not all actors can ride horses, they need to be trained, and the shooting period will be extended, and the costs will increase accordingly...
Oh, being a director is really a headache. You want to make something good, but you have to consider the funding.
But Director Wu didn't know that having Ruan Tang in his crew was like having a little god of wealth.
"Director Wu, if you don't have enough funds, I can consider investing."
Director Wu's eyes widened immediately, "You're investing?"
Ruan Tang nodded, "Yes, if you really want to shoot a horse riding scene, I have a friend who owns a horse farm in the western suburbs of Beijing. I can help you ask if you can get a discount."
Xijiao Horse Farm is an industry invested by Mo Jinchen and Si Kang, mainly for their own entertainment. It is usually empty anyway, so why not lend it to the crew to balance the income and expenditure, although it may be a drop in the bucket.
Director Wu couldn't close his mouth anymore.
You have to know that horse riding is a sport for the rich. The annual membership fees of those high-end private horse clubs are over a million.
Anyone who can open a horse farm in the western suburbs of Beijing is definitely not an ordinary person.
Ruan Tang actually knows such a person!
"Then... let's make an appointment to talk about it in detail."
Director Wu's eyes changed when he looked at Ruan Tang.
In the past, that was when the director was optimistic about the actors, and there was always a kind look in his eyes.
Now, I look at the financial sponsor, who is full of eagerness.
The other leading actors also looked at each other in bewilderment.
What should they do if their colleague suddenly gets promoted to a boss?
Of course it’s to hug someone’s thigh!
"Ruan Tang, I didn't realize you're such a hidden talent. Tell me which rich second-generation family you came from to experience life in the entertainment industry."
He can play the piano, do horse riding, and do self-defense techniques. He also knows a big shot who runs a horse farm in Beijing.
Doesn’t this mean that Ruan Tang himself is also a rich young man?
Since he never went to college, he should have received the legendary aristocratic education, with private tutors and elite training.
Especially the two people who were mentioned just now about the academic master university, they were worried that they had said something wrong, but it turned out that they were the clowns themselves.
"No, I just made a small investment before and got a small return."
"What kind of investment? Can you take me with you?"
Ruan Tang thought about it and realized that a lot of capital had already flowed into the short drama market, and investing now would be too risky.
"I'll call you next time there's a good project, but I'll tell you in advance that all investments are risky. If you want to be safe, you should consider funds or gold..."
Several people nodded repeatedly after listening, although they didn't understand.
Even the staff around him couldn't help but lean over.
Seeing that the set was almost turning into a small finance classroom, Director Wu quickly cleared his throat.
"Okay, okay, let's start filming first. As for the investment, let's create a private group to discuss it in detail."
Yes, that’s right, Director Wu also wants to get rich by following the big boss!
