Chapter 420: Chapter 419 Just So-So, No Good Chapter 420: Chapter 419 Just So-So, No Good A large group of students were lining up and chatting, and Wang Hao was also looking around; after all, it was his first time coming to a cinema to watch a movie. On closer inspection, he instantly felt that the cinemas in this world seemed just a tad inferior to those in his previous life…
Anyway, they had to queue up to buy tickets first. The two of them joined the queue preparing to buy tickets. While they were queuing, a female voice suddenly sounded next to them, “Ruoyun! Are you also here to watch a movie?”
Wang Hao and his companion turned their heads to see two female students next to them, dressed like Jinying students, both in student attire, curiously looking at them.
“Ah, you guys are here too?” Jiang Ruoyun waved at them, and the two girls trotted over, standing next to Jiang Ruoyun, and immediately started chatting.
“Ruoyun, what brought the big campus beauty here?” one of them asked with a grin, then glanced at Wang Hao and laughed, “Is it the manly breeze? Is he your friend?”
“Stop joking, Guan Jing,” Jiang Ruoyun swatted the girl, saying, “This is my new scriptwriting mentor, Mr. Wang Hao.”
“Wang Hao?” The other girl blinked her big eyes curiously at Wang Hao, “What skills do you possess that our campus beauty calls you master? Did you use some special means to catch her attention?”
It was she who used special means to catch my attention, got it?
“Ah, it was nothing, just met by chance,” Wang Hao chuckled and scratched his head, “You all are classmates, right?”
“Of course,” the girl who had just spoken introduced herself, “My name is Qiu Lulu. Since you can be our campus beauty’s master, your scriptwriting must be amazing, right? Have you written any great works before?”
Great works? I guess none that I recall, Domestic Agent, Break the Heavens, Devouring the Stars, or any such titles–are these considered?
“It’s all right, just passable,” Wang Hao laughed, “I have some achievements. I wrote a script before, it was rather well-received.”
“Really?” both girls widened their eyes at him, “What’s the name? Has it been aired? Is it a web series, TV series, or movie?”
“Web series, web series,” Wang Hao felt a bit embarrassed being asked so many questions, “I did contribute a bit to Domestic Agent, haha.”
“Domestic Agent?!” Both girls gaped at him, and Guan Jing sized him up and down, decisively shook her head, “You must be bluffing! Just because you’re also called Wang Hao doesn’t mean you can fool our campus beauty! That Wang Hao I’ve heard my aunt mention; supposedly very handsome and suave, nothing like you!”
The following guy took it all in, but the previous guy…
By the way, do you even know what I look like?
“Is that so?” Wang Hao laughed dryly, “Just average, nothing too great!”
“Ruoyun, you’d better keep your eyes peeled!” Qiu Lulu whispered to Jiang Ruoyun, “There are lots of bad guys these days who like to impersonate famous people for scams. Since no one knows what he looks like, right? Don’t be fooled, be careful in everything!”
“I know, I know,” Jiang Ruoyun nodded vigorously, “But it doesn’t matter, he’s actually quite capable. True or false aside, he really knows how to talk about scripts. I’m not so naive. And I’ve had famous people chase after me without biting, so rest assured.”
“I’m relieved to hear you say that,” Qiu Lulu nodded, then turned her gaze to Wang Hao, smiling, “But regardless, whether you’re genuine or not, I have to test you! There are too many jerks nowadays, and I’ve got to look out for our Ruoyun.”
Ah? You want to test me? How? Roast me on a fire?
“What test are you thinking of?” Wang Hao was also curious, “You’re not going to ask me to deliver a script here, right?”
Hearing their conversation, Jiang Ruoyun and Guan Jing also grew curious.
How was this Qiu Lulu going to test Wang Hao?
“It’s actually simple,” Qiu Lulu tapped her lips, “Since you’re a great screenwriter, after watching ‘Interstellar Travel,’ why don’t you analyze it for us? This shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
This is nothing; a matter of minutes.
“Sure, after watching it I’ll discuss it with you, no problem at all,” Wang Hao readily agreed, smiling, “Shall we buy tickets and go in then?”
Qiu Lulu nodded, “Alright, let’s queue then, and we’ll enter together!”
While in line, Qiu Lulu whispered to Guan Jing, “Hey, what do you think about this Wang Hao? He seems not very reliable to me. How talented does he have to be to make Ruoyun agree to be his disciple? With Ruoyun’s background, looks, and figure, countless men are after her, isn’t he using some love potion?”
“Maybe not a love potion, but we should keep watching, just to be safe,” Guan Jing nodded, “Girls always need to be careful. Regardless of whether this guy has good intentions, reminding Ruoyun to be cautious is always right. And today’s movie is a big Hollywood Sci-Fi blockbuster from the Wales Company, reportedly with a 200 million US Dollar investment. Let’s see what he has to say!”
Qiu Lulu nodded fiercely, “Exactly! Must do!”
By then, it was their turn to buy tickets; soon they got four adjacent seats, and they all entered together.
Their seats in the cinema were at the back near the wall, which would normally not be chosen by anyone, but for now… having seats was good enough, why expect more?
