I have to teach the world a lesson

Tom read a book called "Cognitive Awakening" on Zhang Sheng's recommendation.

When I first read it, I swallowed it wholeheartedly. I just remembered the content of the book with some vague understanding, and then I didn’t pay much attention to it.

But I stepped on that stage and looked at the countless cheers and the pairs of adoring eyes below.

In a daze, he felt that he suddenly understood a lot of things...

When he was sitting in the hotel with Avery Tashi, overlooking the beach below, drinking red wine, and listening to the translator chatting next to him, he suddenly felt that everything in front of him was actually nothing more than that.

Under the moonlight.

The bottle of Romanée-Conti sparkles.

He looked at the bottle.

The most expensive red wine in the world.

Right next to myself.

He was invited to drink by Avery Tashi.

Then……

He found that the red wine tasted almost like ordinary wine.

He looked at Avery Tashi's kind smile and chatted with him about movies...

He and Avery Tashi can communicate completely, and there is no vague generation gap between them.

and……

What he talked about wasn't too difficult.

The structure, artistry of the film, the lens of the film, the representative meaning of the film...

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people.

He can also follow along with countless things.

The so-called art...

Nothing more than that.

Perhaps, the world's famous red wine.

It's just ordinary wine, just hyped up.

Maybe……

The so-called film critic Avery Tashi is just a little old man.

I just talk a lot, and I caught up with a good era, maybe because my family background is relatively good. I was lucky enough to make a few well-received and popular movies, and after a while, I became the senior of many directors...

Then he became what is called a critic.

The so-called [Southern California International Film Awards], the so-called [Berlin International Film Festival], the so-called [Cannes International Film Festival]...

Everything means the same thing!

Twelve o'clock in the evening...

He came back from the Avery Tashi Hotel and returned to the once dilapidated house.

dirty……

Something dirty seemed to stain his soul.

His noble soul should not have lived in such a lowly and low-level place.

He didn't move in as usual, but simply opened a room in a hotel not far from Avery Tashi...

The hotel prices are very expensive, even scary.

He felt pain in his body, but he still stayed in.

Under the influence of alcohol, he was drowsy, but instead he began to think deeply. Maybe this was the so-called "cognitive awakening"?

He couldn't figure out why there were so many differences between himself and Avery Tashi.

A bottle of red wine!

It costs more than 100,000 US dollars!

Their family has nearly ten years of expenses!

The world is very unequal...

While lying on the bed, he felt the alcohol stimulating him. Looking back at the entire Film Awards, he felt that he was the major contributor to the entire Academy Awards.

He helped with the work, he read the lines along with him, he recruited a group of people to help form the public judges, and taught them what to do and when to do it...

But he received very little, only sporadic remuneration and endorsement fees...

A few months ago, he might have been overjoyed, but now, after getting used to seeing a lot of rich people, he feels more and more that he gets less!

Endorsement fees...

right!

Endorsement fees!

A few days ago, he received some calls from Huaxia. The call from Huaxia invited him to be an endorsement and offered him a lot of good prices.

The other party said that they had approached [NC Studio], but the studio had no intention of cooperating with them.

Tom was not in the right mood at the time, a little depressed and vaguely angry.

He feels that he is just a tool, a tool to be squeezed and squeezed hard!

The next day, when he got up, he drank some red wine. The more he thought about it, the more unfair it became!

He called Zhang Sheng. On the phone, he said everything he wanted to say these days. After saying it, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"I should have gotten more!"

After making the call, he took a deep breath.

I know Avery Tashi, and I have the same status as him. Now I am also a world-famous film critic!

Tom thought of Avery Tashi inviting him to the Berlin International Film Festival next February...

His whole body swelled up instantly.

…………………………

"Have you had someone contact Tom?"

"Someone contacted your studio, but your studio didn't accept it. Then, that person contacted Tom..."

"oh."

Fat Xiaoan Restaurant.

Zhang Sheng sat on the chair and glanced at Li Yanhong.

Li Yanhong had almost finished eating, tidied her clothes, and carefully put the information in her bag.

Zhang Sheng looked at him silently.

"I have said that some people are bound by interests and will be disbanded because of interests. What you can provide to others is too little... When some people reach a certain level, you have to treat them as human beings. Not as a tool..." After Li Yanhong finished cleaning up, she glanced at Zhang Sheng and said seriously.

"Tom told you a lot?" Zhang Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"Under the sun, there are no secrets..." Li Yanhong laughed, but her eyes were more serious, even sincere: "Zhang Sheng, I am still very optimistic about you. If you figure it out, or feel that you need to be better, If there are steps, you can call me at any time..."

Li Yanhong stood up and looked at Zhang Sheng for a moment.

There was no other emotion on Zhang Sheng's face, let alone a smile, but his expression gradually became serious.

"Sister Hong!"

"Um?"

"I believe that one day in the future, we will become partners!"

"I'm so happy to hear this from you, I look forward to that day!"

"Well, this day shouldn't be too long..."

Li Yanhong laughed after hearing this, stretched out her hand, and shook it with Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng’s hands were very warm.

Zhang Sheng's expression was very solemn.

She walked out of the box.

Afterwards, I went to the front desk to settle the bill.

After settling the bill and returning home, she remembered that Zhang Sheng had a stake in this restaurant, and she had become a consumer of this restaurant without knowing it.

She shook her head and smiled helplessly.

The bustling restaurant was packed with people.

About a few minutes later, Zhang Sheng walked out of the box, and then looked at the direction Li Yanhong left.

He was not angry because of what Li Yanhong did.

There are always so many temptations in this world.

Sometimes, when some people are moving forward, they always have various ideas.

This kind of thinking makes it impossible for them to follow the path set by others and go all the way down.

Li Yanhong is at most a catalyst.

Arouse a person's deepest desires or conflicts, and at the right time, make a person lose himself in advance.

He watched Li Yanhong gradually disappear into the distance, and finally lost sight of her.

His eyes were full of appreciation...

She is a strong person!

She can totally be a boost!

but now……

It is true that, as Li Yanhong said, his capital is too little.

In this capitalist world where the jungle prevails, he is still at the bottom of the food chain.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Sheng got on the bus.

In the car, Zhang Sheng was thinking about what to do next.

He still has a debt of close to two million.

However, the debt pressure is not as heavy anymore.

As long as you give him time, he can completely forgive the debt.

He was thinking about the future trend...

Sometimes, I feel that people are really magical.

When I stand at the top of the food chain, I feel a sense of loneliness...

But when you stand at the bottom of the food chain, you will have a very strange desire. This desire is like a challenge, and this challenge encourages people to climb up.

He enjoyed the climb.

Just when Zhang Sheng was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a scream in the bus...

He turned his head subconsciously...

He saw several young people pointing excitedly out the window, looking at the snowflakes outside the window like children who had never seen the world...

Zhang Sheng turned his head and looked at Yanjing, which had not snowed for a long time. It seemed that it was snowing.

Moreover, it seemed that the snow would get heavier and heavier. After the bus got off the bus, the snow became heavier and heavier. Many people held umbrellas along the way.

The school gate.

Zhang Sheng saw Xu Bowen standing and chatting with the security guards.

When he saw Zhang Sheng coming, his eyes lit up and he came over immediately.

He held his notebook and couldn't wait to chat with Zhang Sheng about the series of market surveys he had done these days.

He opened his notebook and clicked on a document.

Zhang Sheng looked at the document carefully. He found that Xu Bowen, who couldn't even type on a computer before, now actually made the form clearly.

From early December to now...

No matter it was windy or raining, he kept doing what Zhang Sheng told him.

Subway stations, school gates, on the streets...

He asked the simplest series of questions in the most simple and simple way.

It was quite unnatural at first, but as you persisted for a long time, everything became the most natural.

"I want to make a mobile phone!"

“Make it yourself and sell it yourself!”

"Young people pursue trends and Apple mobile phones. That is a trend. I think this trend will last for a long, long time..."

"A few days ago, I consulted with the teachers in the school's legal department and asked them if I would infringe the rights if I imitated the casing of the Apple mobile phone. In theory, it was an infringement, but in fact it was not a big problem..."

"I have also seen many mobile phone stores selling some off-brand knock-off phones. Those knock-off phones suddenly have many functions, but in fact, their assembly is not difficult..."

"I have calculated that an Apple mobile phone costs about 4,000 yuan, but if I assemble it from Guangdong or Huaqiangbei, the same components cost several hundred yuan, which may be cheaper... "

"That's the market, and that's profit!"

"..."

In the sky, there is snow.

Xu Bowen's eyes became brighter and brighter.

The previous despair, decadence, and even grayness were completely gone.

Zhang Sheng looked at him seriously, nodded, with a smile of recognition on his face: "Then what are you going to do?"

In this world...

Some people have mediocre talents and seem to find it difficult to figure them out.

But, as long as you are not an absolute fool, as long as you are willing to persist and keep doing one thing down-to-earth...

You will eventually make progress.

As you progress, you will suddenly have an epiphany...
