Opportunities Come to You

Ten thousand?

Earn 10,000 in an afternoon?

The taxi driver was dumbfounded, his eyebrows raised high, and he got out of the car and squatted down next to Su Yu.

A body odor, a blend of car exhaust and cigarette smoke, immediately wafted up.

However, Su Yu didn't say a word, but silently moved to the side and tucked the cigarette the driver handed him behind his ear.

The way he looks now doesn't resemble an actor at all, or rather, he perfectly embodies the image of a secondhand dealer.

"Dude, tell me your way of making money."

Su Yu seemed to have anticipated this response, and said in an unquestionable tone, "I can tell you, but you have to give me money. This is called toll money."

The driver chuckled sheepishly, rubbed his hands together, and asked, "How much do you want?"

Give me five thousand, and I'll teach you the Tao of how to make money.

"Tell me first, let me see if this dish is worth five thousand." The driver hesitated a bit, as five thousand was no small sum.

"We source our goods from the dock."

"VCD?"

"right."

"I thought it was something good. That stuff makes money fast, but it's strictly regulated. I tried it once and almost got arrested."

"I haven't finished speaking yet. Give me the money and I'll continue. If you feel it's not right, I'll return it to you," Su Yu coaxed, like Faust.

The driver hesitated for a moment, then took out two thousand yuan from the car. "Tell me, if it's valuable, I'll give you the rest."

Su Yu put the two thousand yuan into his pocket. "There's a Xingrui Computer City on the second street to the right from here. The owner is a cripple who likes to watch pornographic DVDs. No one will bother you if you go there."

"Why isn't anyone doing anything? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Su Yu shrugged. "That cripple has a brother who's a city management officer. We just turn a blind eye to this kind of thing."

The driver paused for a moment after hearing this, then his face lit up with joy. "Okay! I'll trust you this time!"

Give me the rest of the money.

"No problem, I'll go get it from the car for you right away, just wait for me!"

After saying that, he turned around and drove off.

Su Yu watched him leave without saying a word.

Li Yang, standing to the side, stared blankly at Su Yu for a long time, then forced a smile and said, "Wait, were we just tricked?"

"Didn't we both make a profit?"

"what?"

"Stop! He hasn't even realized what's happening yet, hurry up and go!"

Su Yu stood up, dusted himself off, pocketed the two thousand yuan the other party had offered him, and prepared to find a place to stay.

Watching his departing figure, Li Yang was slightly taken aback, no longer able to understand his mischievous friend's actions.

He worked himself to the bone, filming all afternoon and only earned three thousand yuan, but Su Yu just casually mentioned ten thousand yuan.

Most importantly, the taxi driver, who looked shrewd, was actually fooled and ended up paying two thousand yuan for fake information.

Li Yang could never have talked back to such a seasoned veteran without showing any fear, and even managed to make a profit from it. He even thought the other party genuinely wanted to go back and get the money.

No wonder he quit acting and went into business.

The crew thought he was crazy, that it was incredibly stupid of him to give up such an easy opportunity. But at that moment, Li Yang suddenly realized that Su Yu might really not care about that so-called opportunity.

However, Li Yang couldn't help but ask when he thought about it.

"Brother Yu, are you really not going to act anymore?"

Su Yu turned to look at him, "Not acting for now."

"Not acting for now means we'll have to act again later? But it seems like we've really offended those people."

Li Yang scratched his head. The production assistant was very angry when he and Su Yu left the film crew.

"So what if you offend them? Do you really think they're that important? As long as you have enough money, even if your dancing is terrible, people will still call you 'Dad'."

Su Yu spoke expressionlessly, directly exposing the inside story of the Chinese entertainment industry.

All those circles and circles, in the end, aren't they all just about making money? The bloody examples from the past are enough to prove this point.

No matter how big an actor's status is, they are nothing more than playthings of capital.

He experienced the brutal era of coal bosses and also felt the terror after capital entered the market. It's not that he has to stay in this circle, but he feels that life should have multiple choices.

"Rich... how rich must they be? Filming a TV series must cost at least several million. How long would it take us two to earn that much?"

"You lack confidence in yourself, and you lack confidence in me? Give me five years, and I'll make Chen Daoming your supporting actor."

Su Yu's gaze deepened slightly as he suddenly thought of the rise of domestic commercial films.

If you want to get a piece of the pie, you have to start with reforming the cinema chain system and create your own cinema chain.

When a movie is released, the theater can get one-third of the profit.

This can no longer be considered exorbitant profits; it's practically robbing people out of their pockets, and the worst part is that they don't really have any recourse.

If you don't listen, then we won't schedule screenings for you.

Even the best movies won't break even if they're released at midnight.

Therefore, the right approach is to become the "father" of these people and focus on making money.

At the same time, Li Yang suddenly chuckled twice, almost drooling.

Looking at his pathetic state, Su Yu couldn't help but ask.

"You're this happy just because of Chen Daoming?"

"No, I'm thinking about whether to replace Chen Daoming with Xiao Yanzi. I think we're a good match."

"Indeed, they're all brainless."

"???"

For the next month, Su Yu and Li Yang's daily task was to resell pirated VCDs, and their capital grew larger and larger.

More and more people are watching them.

To avoid trouble, Su Yu simply changed his profession and registered a company called GG.

However, Li Yang knew absolutely nothing about shooting GG, so he asked Su Yu to teach him how.

"Brother Yu, can we really film a 'GG' (a type of scene)?"

"Why not?" Su Yu retorted.

"I just feel that this should be done by professionals. Neither of us has any training... how are we supposed to film this!"

"Then why don't you just act more professionally?"

"what?"

Li Yang paused for a moment, then scratched his head.

Su Yu shrugged and didn't say anything, knowing that this guy was still unwilling to give up and wanted to become an actor.

But what's so great about being an actor?

Despite the star-studded cast of "The Grand Mansion Gate," where everyone was desperate to get in, the real opportunities were given to the lead actors.

If you go and play a role with no lines, what chance do you have?

In his past life, Li Yang spent his entire life on film sets, but he never made a name for himself. If it weren't for his frequent lottery wins, he would have disappeared somewhere.

You could say he's lucky, but after struggling in the entertainment industry for over twenty years, he still hasn't made it big.

You could say he's unlucky, since he always seems to win the lottery...

"Brother Yu... won't you regret it? There are so many opportunities in film crews."

"Opportunity?" Su Yu patted Li Yang on the shoulder and chuckled, "Broaden your horizons, there are more opportunities outside."

After saying that, he led Li Yang to the entrance of the photo studio.

As soon as they stepped inside, two beautiful figures appeared in front of them, one after the other.

An older woman wearing sunglasses identified herself as Liu Xiaoli, and the other was her daughter, Liu Yifei.

The mother and daughter walked arm in arm toward the two men.

The summer heat left them drenched in sweat, their hair damp and their faces flushed pink. The mother and daughter's chests heaved.

Liu Xiaoli is also a beauty, and she constantly attracts attention just by standing there, but what is even more attractive is Liu Yifei next to her.

Liu Yifei wore a beige dress with the hem falling just to her knees. Her eyes were bright and sparkling, and her features were exquisite. Despite her young age, she already possessed the qualities of a celestial being.

As soon as the four met, Liu Xiaoli looked at the digital camera in Su Yu's hand and immediately spoke.

"Can you take photos here? Like mother and daughter photos?"

Upon hearing this, the naive Li Yang still wanted to refuse, thinking to himself that he had earned this money by selling VCDs sack by sack.

I wouldn't even take a picture of myself, why should I take one of yours?

Before he could speak, Su Yu nodded.

Perhaps because of his memories from a past life, he always views interpersonal relationships from a godlike perspective, assessing the potential value of each person.

So even though he wasn't a fan of Liu Yifei at all, he still chose to agree.

Just now, Li Yang was still talking about opportunities.

Isn't this opportunity just handed to us?

Sometimes life is just that strange; the more you resist something, the more likely God is to give it to you...

This is the Daliyuan effect!

As for taking photos of the fairy and her mother...

Tsk.
