Huayu is here for you

Chapter 71 Signing the Contract

Huang Bo was momentarily stunned. How did this involve him? Wasn't it up to the boss to bring this person over?

"Hehe... Mr. Lin, I think Bao Qiang is a good person, our company can sign him."

Lin Yu looked at Huang Bo, who was grinning at him, for two seconds, and then said, "Okay, Baoqiang, I'll talk to Sister Xiao Ou later and have her prepare the contract for you."

"Thank you, Director Lin, hehe... thank you so much." Wang Baoqiang stood up excitedly and said:

"Don't get so worked up, Baoqiang. With your current fame, you can go to any company you want," Lin Yu said with amusement.

"That's different, Director Lin. I just feel like I'll have a bright future if I follow you."

Lin Yu: "??? Where did you get that idea? I've been with Brother Bo for so long, and I've never let him be the male lead in one of my movies."

"No matter what, I just feel good following you, not to mention you're my mentor!" Wang Baoqiang said earnestly.

"Alright, do you have any projects coming up lately? If not, just tell Xiao Ou. We don't have any lead roles, but we've got plenty of supporting roles, whether it's for movies or TV series." Lin Yu patted Wang Baoqiang on the shoulder and said.

"Director Lin, I'm in luck. I have two dramas contacting me right now, one for the lead role and the other for a supporting role. I'm planning to choose the supporting role," Wang Baoqiang said happily.

"Why?" Lin Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

"The drama that asked me to play the lead role doesn't have a female lead. It's a military-themed drama, and the character is somewhat similar to the ones I've played before. But for the supporting role script, I play a heroic character, which I really like. So I chose the script that I was planning to choose for the supporting role. I can't keep playing the same type of character, can I?" Wang Baoqiang told Lin Yu everything in one go.

Lin Yu understood immediately. The one without a female lead was obviously "Soldiers Sortie". This silly kid still didn't want to choose it.

"Baoqiang, I think you should choose the script where you play the lead role. After all, you haven't played a lead role in a TV series yet, have you? And don't worry about the audience defining you. One or two TV series don't prove anything. Besides, I'm here for you. You won't have trouble finding scripts."

Seeing Lin Yu's serious expression, Wang Baoqiang hesitated for a moment before making his decision. "Since Director Lin has said so, then... I'll choose the script about the soldier."

"Hehe, trust me, you won't regret it. By the way, Brother Bo, you've been quite free lately, haven't you finished filming 'Stone'?" Lin Yu turned to Huang Bo and asked.

"Hehe... I only had a few scenes, I wasn't even the main character, I finished filming a long time ago," Huang Bo said sheepishly.

"Alright, then don't take any acting roles for a while. You've been with the company for so long, and we haven't even given you a chance to start a new business yet," Lin Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Huang Bo was immediately startled. Wang Baoqiang, standing beside him, also looked on with envy.

"Director Lin, are you serious?"

"Really, in this male-centric movie, you're the absolute lead," Lin Yu confirmed.

"Hehe... Director Lin, what kind of movie is it? How much is the budget?" Huang Bo asked, rubbing his hands together happily.

"A movie set in a coffin, with an investment of one million," Lin Yu said succinctly.

Huang Bo: "???"

Wang Baoqiang: "!!!"

The next day, Lin Yu and Huang Bo were ready to set off. This movie was originally just a one-man show by Huang Bo, so there wasn't much to prepare. If it weren't for the need to make it look good on the big screen, Lin Yu would have brought a DV camera to film it.

Moreover, the crew members that Starlight has recruited for Lin Yu are gradually taking shape, so we need to give them some practice first, right?

However, Lin Yu doesn't plan to set the movie's background in China, since China's public security is among the best in the world.

The protagonist of the film, Wang Bo, was also portrayed by Lin Yu as an American of Chinese descent.

After everything was ready, Lin Yu and Huang Bo spent two whole days traveling to their destination—the Haidarhana Mosque in Iraq.

The Haidarhana Mosque, located on Rashid Street in the Haidarhana district of Baghdad, is a famous mosque in Iraq. Construction began in 1826 and was undertaken by Daoud Pasha, a high-ranking official in Baghdad during the Ottoman Empire.

The purpose of going here is simple: to shoot a short clip, something a bit more extravagant than the one in my previous life, just to prove that the film "Buried" is set here. But don't get me wrong, it's not for the main movie, but for the end credits.

The filming process is also very simple; as long as you're willing to spend the money, it can all be done in less than a day.

The remaining 99% of the scenes will, of course, be filmed domestically, since they're all inside coffins anyway, and you can't see them anywhere else.

Next came Huang Bo's painful time.

It's difficult for an ordinary person to stay in a confined space for even an hour, let alone have to consider the filming of the storyline.

Huang Bo was also very bold, locking himself in a rented room without his phone or anything, and endured it for three days straight.

Lin Yu was startled when he stepped out. He was disheveled, looked listless, and his eyes kept darting around. He was also muttering something to himself.

"Brother Bo? Are you alright?" Lin Yu asked with some concern. "Should we call Sister Ou over?"

"No need, let's get ready to film," Huang Boqiang said, rousing himself.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Bo climbed into the "coffin" that the crew had prepared for him.

The decisiveness of the decision surprised both Lin Yu and the crew of Xingguang.

The film "Buried" tells the story of a contractor who is kidnapped in Iraq and wakes up to find himself buried alive in a coffin deep in the desert. He has only a cell phone, a lighter, and a knife with him.

Although the protagonist didn't want to accept his fate, when he woke up six feet underground and had no idea why he was there or who had arranged it all, he realized how close death really was.

"start!"

Lin Yu looked at the director's monitor, picked up the walkie-talkie, and shouted:

Originally, Wang Bo was just an ordinary truck driver who went to Iraq to work as a contractor in order to earn more money. Now, he has suddenly fallen into a situation that he himself does not understand.

Along with Wang Bo, a cell phone, a lighter, a knife, a wine flask, and a pen were buried.

Wang Bo slowly pieced together the clues he knew, which at least helped him find his location in such a cramped and maddening space.

The phone had only a pitifully weak signal, and the battery was about to run out. Soon, the scarce oxygen supply became the most terrifying enemy Wang Bo had to face, forcing him to race against time in this confined space, striving for every chance to see the light of day again—and having to overcome the negative effects of panic, despair, and mental turmoil.
