Chapter 422 Three Roommates
After speaking with Daren Wang, Ran Xueyi received a file message from him which turned out to be the full script that he had written for the film. She didn't know whether he was too excited or just innocent, but sending the full script to her when they still haven't signed the contract was a bit too naive of him.
She might need to remind him not to do this in the future. Thankfully, it was her who bagged this script and learned of his careless behavior or else, if it were other people, they would have tricked him already and took the full script without signing the contract to steal as their own.
In order to seal things quickly, Ran Xueyi arranged for them to meet the next morning to talk about the film as well as to sign the contract.
Inside the dorm room, Daren was still in disbelief. He never expected that he would be able to work alongside one of the top actresses with high traffic in the entertainment world right now! Ran Xueyi was not even just an acclaimed and popular author, she was also a figure that was looked up to by many students in their university because of her special talent in acting!
This was too unreal for him that he ended up staring at the wall in a daze for half an hour before he was smacked to the head by Xian Yue, who was freaking out but had already contacted all their close friends to spread the good news.
The door to their dorm room was kicked down later by a horde of frenzied friends who got the news and crowded the room.
"You sh*t! Why did you tell us about this now!"
"F*ck, are you really sure it was Ran Xueyi who called you to work with you?"
"Junior Daren, aren't you going to introduce us to her holy goddess?"
"Don't even dare stop us when we visit the film site to see her, okay!"
Their friends were also in disbelief, but they knew Daren. He would never lie about his work. Besides, it was also great news to them, Ran Xueyi's fans, who are friends to a director she will work with in the future!
When their friends finally left, the room was almost unrecognizable. Mo Xiang, the third roommate of Daren, just arrived from his part-time job and saw the mess in their room and couldn't help but scowl.
"May I ask... Did a typhoon form and wreak havoc in our room?" asked Mo Xiang.
Xian Yue knew that Mo Xiang was slightly a clean freak. Mo Xiang would usually drive the two out of the room to clean it and tell them to take a treatment bath outside before coming in.
However, his fear for this roommate was doused by the good news this morning.
He swung his arm around Mo Xiang's shoulders and grinned, "Brother Mo, our family is finally getting rich!"
Mo Xiang was not impressed, but he was interested when he heard the word 'rich'. "Oh? What is it?"
Seeing him getting interested in this topic, Xian Yue retold him about the events this morning. After hearing the entire story, Mo Xiang frowned and asked, "Are you sure, it's her?"
Daren Wang just came out of the bath and heard this question. "I'm only 90 percent sure. But we'll find out when I meet her tomorrow."
He had already calmed down after hours of being pushed and tossed by his friends for more information. He's clear headed now and also understood what Mo Xiang was most concerned about.
A lot of directors and entertainment companies tried to poach him to their side. Mostly to use his talent in making scripts and films, but because Daren wanted to use his own strengths and let people know it was him who made it, he rejected all offers even if he was offered a large sum of money.
Naturally, there were those 'veterans' who gave him advice. They told him that he could use the 'help' he would receive from these directors and entertainment companies to set up his own ground, laying down the foundation even if it means being used. Then, when he finally got enough, he could create his own films on his own when he had enough money.
However, Daren still refused.
He was poor, but he was not stupid.
He knew that the moment he signed a contract with any of these people, they would end up slaving him to create scripts for them then they would take it under their own names. He would just become a ghost director who will never stand on the spotlight like others who fell to this corrupt and tricky means.
"In any case, there's nothing for me to lose whether it's real or not." Daren started to wear his clothes for the night and continued, "If it's real then I would just have to do my best to never let go of this opportunity and hold on to Ran Xueyi. But if it's a scam by those people to make me miserable, then I guess I'll just go back in this room and continue creating my scripts even if no one will ever see it."
He was already used to it. There's nothing that could sway or depress him anymore.
Xian Yue smiled bitterly when he heard this from Daren. He knew how hard it was for their roommate. "That's right. We still have a bit of money to support our son. Isn't that right, Mother Mo?"
Mother Mo Xiang: "..."
He glared at him with eyes filled with 'Who are you calling Mother Mo? Do you want to die?'
Xian Yue quickly distanced himself from him and hugged Daren while wailing loudly, "Look, son. Your mother wants to kill me again!"
Mo Xiang rolled his eyes and threw his jacket at him which also hit Daren on the face before walking over to his own bed. "Call me that again and you'll really end up buried six-feet under."
Xian Yue quickly shut his mouth, not daring to test whether his roommate would stay true to his words or not.
