Ouyang Ouyang's face flushed red, his face full of shame and anger at having his secret exposed.

Xu Youyou looked him straight in the eye. "You've opened a shop next to the Shanghai Film and Television Academy, constantly attending their open classes and secretly learning about film and television. What's going on? Are your dreams shameful?"

Ouyang Ouyang clenched his fists. He never thought that his dream was shameful. The one who was truly shameful was him.

A junior high school graduate who had no formal education and had been doing the lowest level jobs had saved up his salary for several years before he was able to buy this store. However, due to poor management, the store was about to go bankrupt.

He is from the bottom of society, but he actually secretly harbors a dream of becoming a director. It would be a joke if anyone told others about it.

Xu Youyou slowly took out a script and placed it on the table.

"If you want to keep embarrassing yourself, then just assume that I've misjudged you." Xu Youyou said, and stood up to leave.

Ouyang Ouyang didn't know where he got the courage from: "I'll try."

Xu Youyou sat down again and pushed the script over.

Ouyang Ouyang resisted the urge to read the script and instead asked Xu Youyou: "How did you know about me?"

Xu Youyou was not at all flustered and said, "Your every move has long been noticed by those who care about you. You don't believe in yourself, but someone wants to give you a chance."

Ouyang's heart paused, and several faces suddenly appeared in his mind. They were all teachers from the Film and Television Academy. After he finished his free class, he would pretend to be a college student and ask them questions. Could it be that they recommended him to Xu Youyou? His heart suddenly felt like it was blocked by a ball of wet cotton.

"I want to shoot a short drama with a fast pace, vertical screen display, and one episode within ten minutes." Xu Youyou stated her requirements.

Ouyang Ouyang thought of the short videos that have been popular online in the past two years and said, "I'm afraid the mainstream won't accept this."

Xu Youyou glanced at him and said, "Why do I need mainstream acceptance? I want to make money!"

Ouyang Ouyang dreams of becoming a director, and of course he has his own pursuits.

Xu Youyou also painted a big pie for him and said, "If you perform well, we will make a TV series next and a movie later."

Ouyang Ouyang had no better choice at the moment, and he agreed without even asking about the salary. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. After all, it was estimated that no one else would be willing to offer him such a job opportunity.

"I'm going to close the shop now and have a meeting with the rest of the crew," Ouyang Ouyang took the initiative.

Xu Youyou said, "There are only you and the male lead in the crew right now. If you have someone you trust, you can have them come for an interview now."

Ouyang Ouyang thought that this was a makeshift team, but he thought of the candidates in the shortest time.

"I know a few college students who can be photographers and producers, and I also have someone in mind for the stagehand." Ouyang Ouyang attended classes at the Film and Television Academy for three years and got to know many good brothers.

Xu Youyou nodded and said, "Please take care of the arrangements and make a list of equipment as soon as possible so I can arrange for people to purchase it."

Ouyang Ouyang was stunned when he heard this: "Our company doesn't even have equipment?"

"It's only been three days since we registered, and we haven't even rented an office yet." Xu Youyou said with a bachelor look on her face.

Ouyang Ouyang: ...If he hadn't been holding the script in his hand, he would have suspected that he had entered some pyramid scheme den.

While he was contacting people, Xu Youyou handwrote a simple employment agreement.

"Sign it like this first." Xu Youyou handed it over.

Ouyang Ouyang saw the director's salary at first glance, which was 100,000 yuan.

The filming of a short drama can usually be completed within ten days, and new directors are always paid very low wages. Some of them only get 10,000 yuan after shooting 80 episodes.

One hundred thousand yuan might not even be enough for Xu Youyou to buy a bag, but it was different for Ouyang. He was also aware of the market conditions, and the look he gave Xu Youyou was like that of a living bodhisattva.

Xu Youyou didn't stay here for long and said, "You must form a team within three days, the sooner the better."

After she left, Ouyang Ouyang hung a "Closed" sign outside the store and picked up the script to read it carefully.

The more he read, the more he thought the script was brilliant. It had almost all the elements of a short play, and if it was well-made, it would surely be a hit.

Several male college students pushed the door open and walked in.

Wang Yifan asked, "Ouyang, is what you said true? A film crew asked me to be the photographer?"

"You'd better really find a rich guy, otherwise who would give us money to practice!" Cheng Shilei nodded continuously.

Ouyang handed them the employment contract and said, "Don't say I didn't think about you, brothers. There's a rich woman in the store. She's wearing all sorts of gold and silver and has a driver with her. It's obvious she's not short of money. Let's shoot a short film together and make a big splash!"

Several people took the contract and looked at it again and again, their eyes shining with surprise.

"Ouyang, you really managed to hook up with a rich woman! Whether our brothers can become rich depends entirely on you!" Several people cheered.

Although Ouyang Ouyang always thinks about his own people, he obviously still has a sense of propriety in doing things. After seeking Xu Youyou's consent, he set the salary for several brothers. After signing the contract, he let them read the script.

Xu Youyou originally wanted to stay and meet the photographer, but the system displayed two prompts in succession.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the "picking up leaks" mission and receiving a reward: a complete set of equipment for filming a short drama.]

Xu Youyou's eyes lit up. Anything produced by the system must be of high quality, which saved her the effort of purchasing.

Another tip is that another task of picking up bargains has been released.

Xu Youyou was sitting in the passenger seat of Xu Fang's car at this time, instructing her to drive the car through twists and turns in the city.

Finally, it stopped in a place where the car could not enter.

Antique Street.

"You wait outside. When you have time, take a look at the car models. The higher the safety factor, the better. I can't use your car all the time." Xu Youyou instructed Xu Fang.

Her current car is still Xu Fang's car. There is no reason to hire a driver and let others drive their own car.

As soon as Xu Youyou entered the antique street, she immediately attracted the attention of the stall owner.

Young and unfamiliar.

Such a face is almost equivalent to "easy to cheat". The stall owners have sharp eyes and can see that Xu Youyou is now wearing branded clothes and the bag she is carrying is also very valuable.

"Little girl, what do you want to buy here? Everything on my stall is authentic! You can buy it and keep it as a family heirloom!" said the stall owner with triangular eyes with a smile.

But this remark was immediately retorted by the horse-faced stall owner next to him: "Every piece is guaranteed to be authentic, you are fooling a fool with this? Little girl, ignore him, come to my stall and take a look. Yesterday, a young man bought a Yuan Datou coin from me and made 50,000 yuan in profit."

Xu Youyou watched as the two of them actually started bickering. She really believed that they were both setting up stalls to cheat fools. Only those who had good things would not worry about not being able to sell them.

Although these two people were trying to trick fools, Xu Youyou still went to Triangle Eyes' stall and pretended to pick up a cricket jar and looked at it.

"Little girl, you have a very good eye. You picked out the treasure of our store at first sight. This cricket jar was used by the 15th Prince Yi of the Qing Dynasty." said Triangle Eyes.

Xu Youyou glanced at him and said, "The fifteenth generation Prince Yi from the Prince Yi Mansion of the Qing Dynasty, he's probably the same age as me?"

Triangle Eyes smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, I've met an expert."

Xu Youyou casually picked up a bowl-shaped cup from a stall nearby. It was about the same size as a wine glass and didn't look like an old item at all. The reason was that the cup was too new.

"This cup is very beautiful. How much is it?" Xu Youyou asked.

Triangle Eyes immediately started boasting, saying, "Girl, you've picked out the most valuable treasure in my stall. It's the famous Chenghua Doucai Cup. It sold for 2.8 million yuan at an auction last time. I'm taking a loss, so I'll sell it to you for one million."
