Chapter 415 – Stroke Of Luck(Teaser)
The mini-movie “Fairy Tale” spread fastest at Jiangcheng Media University, as it was made by their own students and featured many real-life locations from the campus. When the film first appeared online, Facebook—the platform most used by students—was abuzz with discussions about it.
By the next day, even professors in the Film Academy were recommending the video in class. One professor from the directing department strongly encouraged students to follow the model of “Fairy Tale” and create short videos or mini-movies to participate in this mini-movie competition.
“Learning through competition is highly meaningful,” he said.
Of course, there were voices of admiration, envy, praise, and also jealousy and criticism.
“I could’ve done that too!” Such sour remarks were not uncommon.
But no one realized that someone who watched this wildly popular mini-movie online was now filled with regret.
That person was Tang Kaitai. Though he had a poor memory and couldn’t recall the original script, he vaguely felt that the plot seemed somewhat different from before. But now, seeing the same group of people creating such a successful film—and that fat guy he once looked down on standing out and gaining a fanbase of his own—Tang Kaitai deeply regretted rejecting the role he had turned down.
“If only I’d known that Director Du was so talented, I should have stayed in the production crew! The most popular person right now should’ve been me!”
But ultimately, Tang Kaitai preferred to blame others: “It’s all because of that damn fat guy and that Mu Li’ang, who wrote songs for him but not for me! Damn it, this should’ve been my glory!”
This resentment toward Guo Ziyi, Mu Li’ang, and even Du Yuanlei took root deep within him.
