Huayu: From an ordinary person to a happy director

Chapter 1 The first step is to make money
Early January 2002, in a recording studio in Beijing.

【The first snow in 2002 came later than usual.】

Shi Lei played it several times, closed his eyes and recalled it. After a while, he opened his eyes and shook his head: "This sentence doesn't work. Next one."

The studio staff clicked their mouse.

【The first snow in 2002 came later than usual.】

"Still not working, next sentence."

【The first snow in 2002 came later than usual.】

"Next sentence."

Zhang Songwen stared at Shi Lei who was extremely serious, in amazement, and asked in disbelief, "Is this how you record a song?"

He had listened to Shi Lei singing the first line of lyrics over and over again, thinking that he was trying to get the feeling. Unexpectedly, the song came out before Shi Lei had finished recording the entire song. Then something even more shocking happened: Shi Lei was selecting the first line of lyrics.

Shi Lei looked at his friend who often worked part-time with him and explained, "In this era, there are relatively few singers who record songs like me. But I just sell songs to make money. I won't be a singer in the future, so it doesn't matter."

In fact, in ten years, this way of recording songs will be very common.

"Making money by selling songs? I know your level, which is just at the level of a KTV microphone master. Are you sure you can make money?" Zhang Songwen looked like he understood me.

"That's why I recorded it sentence by sentence! As for whether it can make money, we will know in two months."

"Is this the reason why you went to the music department to take classes?"

"Yes." Shi Lei replied, and added: "Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I have to work. Every second in the recording studio is charged."

He is a time traveler who came here in 1998 and has been here for 4 years.

In 98, as a high school student, the genes engraved in his bones made his first thought to study hard and strive to get into a good university through the college entrance examination.

However, the reality was very cruel. He did not awaken any system, and his intelligence was still the same as in his previous life. After several months of hard work, he was depressed to find that even if he studied hard and raised his score by 100 points, it was only 100 points above the first-tier line. Compared with ordinary people, this score was good, but just good. Even if he went to a good university, he would still be a worker when he graduated.

Walking the university track again, where does his advantage lie?

So his idea is to make money first, only with money can he rise and become capital.

After traveling through time, most people can quickly think of an idea to make money, but it was a bit troublesome for him.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary person. He went to college smoothly and graduated from a second-tier university. Then he went to work in Shenzhen, working a normal 996 and occasionally 007 shifts.

Since I was born in the countryside and my parents were ordinary farmers, I didn't have Teacher Xuefeng to guide me on how to choose a major at that time. I just chose it blindly, and my career after graduation had only a little bit to do with my major. To put it simply, many majors can do this job.

His previous life's occupation was of no help to him after he traveled through time. He didn't gamble, so lottery, buying football and the like had nothing to do with him. He did know that he could make money by buying stocks or investing in real estate, but both of these required starting capital!

His family in this life is still from the countryside, and he has no starting capital!
There are 8 million farmers in the country, and there is a two-thirds probability of traveling through time and space to become a farmer. Traveling through time and space to become a rural person is very normal and common; traveling through time and space to become a rich second generation, a person with connections, a negative second generation, or a disabled person is a low-probability event.

After traveling through time, he naturally has a golden finger. His golden finger is that his memory of his past life is very clear, and he has a strong kidney. However, he searched through all his memories of his past life and found that apart from the 996 work content, the most memories were movies, TV series and songs.

Confirmed, I’ll go into the entertainment industry, after all, female celebrities are really amazing!
Although I didn’t have the skills to direct, act, or sing in my previous life, I’m not good at creating. At least I can… follow… reference?
Among the three routes, he finally chose to be a director. Compared with singers and actors, directors have a higher status.

He borrowed money to attend a training course. After more than a year of preparation, he won the favor of a teacher with a touching script about 'a child paying a special worker to pretend to be his mother to attend a parents' meeting'. With the teacher's strong support, he was successfully admitted to the directing department of Beijing Film Academy and became an undergraduate student of the class of 99.

During the more than two years at the Beijing Film Academy, he studied hard and finally completed the stage-by-stage study of the university directing professional course. All that remained was practical practice.

At the Beijing Film Academy, most students would find an internship in a film crew when they reach their third year. It was called an internship, but in fact it was just a job as a handyman. Forget about being a director or assistant director, even the opportunity to be a stagehand was rare.

So we can only do it ourselves to have enough food and clothing.

He decided to make the movie with his own money and practice his directing skills as a director.

After traveling through time for so long, it's not like he has done nothing.

He had been thinking about how to make his first pot of gold, and then "The First Snow of 2002" came into his mind.

This song was very popular in the previous life. It became famous all over the country in just one month. Without any promotion, the genuine album sold about 240 million copies and the pirated version sold more than 1000 million copies.

Since he has intercepted the business in this life, the sales volume won’t be too bad.

In fact, for ordinary people, releasing songs after time travel is the easiest way to make money. Everyone has a few songs that they like to play on repeat. After time travel, you can find a recording studio and record one sentence at a time. You can always record a qualified song. Then you can spend some money to find someone to help compose the music, and then you can release it and make money.

In his previous life, the Rain God of Eastern Guangdong spent 2000 yuan to buy the song "Eastern Guangdong Love Story", made some random changes, and then spent another 500 yuan to find a merchant on Taobao to publish it, and then made more than million yuan.

If singers currently make money mainly through performances and various advertisements, he would have wanted to release popular songs such as "Don't Cry, Girl", "Parting Blooms", "The Lone Brave Man", and "Little Apple" all at once.

He is not very good at singing on stage and has no intention of practicing his singing skills. The singing skills of ordinary people have an upper limit, but directing skills can be highly imitated.

Compared to music, directing career is more real and more important to him.

From now on, there will be movies that break the 100 million mark every year. In ten years, there will be movies that break the 1 billion mark every year.

He needs to hurry up!
A month later, an album was successfully recorded. Shi Lei recorded "The First Snow of 2002" very seriously, and the other songs in the album were just a few casually recorded pop songs of later generations.

After the album is recorded, the next step is to release it.

In his previous life, Daolang released songs in 04. He had no money for promotion, so he adopted the method of playing the songs first and paying later, and sent the album directly to music stores across the country. Unexpectedly, under the influence of the catchy melody, the name Daolang became famous overnight.

He learned Daolang's methods directly.

Of course, the stage name on the album is not Dao Lang, but his own stage name 'Aquaman'. These two words carry his dream. His dream of living a new life is to make money and become Aquaman.

Now that I have entered the entertainment industry, of course I have to realize the superficial dreams of my previous life and have in-depth exchanges with major female stars, using all kinds of poses, costumes, and cosplays!
