In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

One month was enough for everyone to get acquainted with each other. At least Shen Xudong and several people in his dormitory liked him...

He is warm to others and has a cheerful personality. Even if he is teased by others, he does not get angry...

The most important thing is that he is really an outsider and often makes jokes...

And he likes to argue with people.

For example, he believed that Qin Shihuang was a talented and broad-minded First Emperor who unified his thoughts, wrote with the same text, and worked with the same track...

But many people think he is a tyrant...

But these are personal perceptions and do not affect the relationship between several people. Therefore, when I heard that he fainted, I quickly sent him to the hospital...

Fortunately, he woke up in the car...

They were persuaded to give up their thoughts.

Several people helped him into the dormitory and let him lie on the bed...

In fact, Shen Xudong knew about his situation. He had experienced dizziness symptoms frequently since he entered school. At first, he thought it was due to his physical condition, but every time he got dizzy, there would be more inexplicable things in his mind...

This time I just did it hard and stuffed it all in at once~

So much so that Shen Xudong fainted for half an hour...

It's a pity that online novels have not yet emerged. Otherwise, Shen Xudong would know that this situation is called memory fusion!

Yes, it’s memory fusion!

Another person's experience appeared in his mind!

Also called Shen Xudong, he is an unlucky guy...

…

"If Memory Can Be Transplanted" was a composition for the college entrance examination in 1999. Shen Xudong also wrote it when he was doing the exam in his senior year of high school.

He believes that even if the memory is transplanted, you are still you, because the transplanted memory is only the memory of another person, and he is only a spectator.

Just like someone tells you something, you remember it, but you can't say it is your own story.

Of course, no one can say for sure about this kind of thing. The fusion of Piccolo and Celestial God is equivalent to them having each other's memories, but becoming a new Namekian;

But Majin Buu absorbed Piccolo, Goten, etc., and also had their memories. Although he had their power, Buu was still bad, so he still had the memories of others.

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong certainly has a cheerful personality...

But when it comes to this kind of thing, he won't talk about it everywhere.

How do you know whether a sudden extra memory is true or false?

It’s very simple, verify it!

The memory of the extra Shen Xudong is full of circles...

And he dislikes the circle very much, and makes a lot of complaints about the circle...

This is easy to verify, because the boss of Shen Xudong’s dormitory comes from an acting family. Zhao Linhai is the fat man who introduced himself that day. His grandfather, his father, and several uncles are all employees of Changying Factory...

Changying is very awesome. It is the first film studio in New China and has produced a lot of classic works: "Five Golden Flowers", "Shangganling", "Heroic Sons and Daughters", "Liu Sanjie"...

Of course, that was before...

After the 1990s, private capital was relaxed in the film and television industry, and Changying was completely left alone.

But even if he declines, Zhao Linhai’s understanding of the circle is beyond the reach of Shen Xudong...

Shen Xudong wanted to find out whether what was in his mind was true or false, so asking Zhao Linhai was the best way to verify it!

During the smoking break, Shen Xudong handed the boss a Hongtashan stick, and then asked: "Boss, I want to ask you something..."

"What's wrong?"

"Are we people's opinions just bullshit to those directors?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I just feel that I am quite funny..."

"You just feel it? I told you that people like A Mou and Kai Ye are called mainstream directors. Let me ask you, what is mainstream..."

"have no idea…"

"The mainstream is the system? Especially those engaged in literature and art. If they sneak into the system, those people don't need our opinions at all! They have been prosperous in the circle for many years, participating in writing pen meetings, collective collections, and professional seminars Meetings, work appreciation meetings, manuscript exchanges, internal recommendations occupying the literary and art pages, numerous books and a great reputation..."

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment: "But... the literary and art symposium made it clear..."

"That was before..." Zhao Lin changed the subject: "Let me tell you, in a while, many seniors will take us to do projects together..."

"Then are we included in the circle?"

"It's nothing..."

"What are you two talking about?"

Liao Gaoxiang, the second oldest student in the dormitory, opened the balcony door and took a pack of Hongtashan in his hand.

"...I guess the fourth child must have been hit."

Taking the cigarette from Liao Gaoxiang, Zhao Linhai simply said the question Shen Xudong asked just now, and finally added: "I guess he was stimulated by some news!"

"Really?"

"...Yes, I was discussing the script with someone this afternoon, and he insisted that even if you write well, it is useless, you must know people...I am not convinced..."

"He is telling the truth. This is the case in our country..."

Shen Xudong was anxious: "Then...why should I study drama?"

"Just take your time..."

The third child also came in: "Let me tell you, Xudong, what we have to do now is to take on projects and then mix up our seniority..."

The third child is a native of Beijing and from an acting family. He is from the Beijing Film Studio. His name is Zhao Xin: "In our circle, what matters is not talent, but connections. If you want to get ahead, the most important thing is to know people!"

"I don't believe it. George Lucas made money from "American Graffiti"..."

"That's abroad!"

"Actually, it's the same at home and abroad. How did George Lucas make "American Graffiti"? Who was the producer of his first big-selling film?"

“Francis Coppola…”

"That's right. Without Coppola, how could he convince investors to fund his filming?"

Shen Xudong read George Lucas's personal biography some time ago, called "George Lucas"...

It was Zhao Linhai who recommended him to watch it - to learn about the life experiences of great foreign directors.

It’s okay if you don’t know about George Lucas. After reading George Lucas’s biography, I feel more and more amazing about this man: Lucas’s ideal as a boy was to be a racing driver and he had little interest in movies. However, a few days before graduating from high school, He was in a car accident and was seriously injured, but miraculously escaped death, and then he became interested in movies!

After being admitted to the Southern California Film School, he made a splash in the first film class. Then he went to work at Warner Bros. Film Company during the holidays and met Francis Coppola, the great director who would later become world-famous for the "Godfather" series.

At that time, Coppola was already well-known in Hollywood. Not only did he recruit Lucas into his film crew, but he also helped him find a job as a script writer. After Lucas wrote the script, he became the director himself. It was made into a movie, and although it didn't make much money at the box office, it got a good reputation.

A few years later, Lucas established Lucasfilm, named after himself, and then spent $780,000 and 57 days to shoot "American Graffiti." The film won 5 Academy Award nominations and 1.15 With a box office revenue of US$55.88 million and video rentals of US$55.88 million, it has become one of the highest return on investment in film history.

Maybe not one!

The producer of this film is Francis Coppola…

Let's put it this way, "American Graffiti" is a success, and the media is basically praising Kobe Pola for his discerning eye!

"Other people's movies and TV series are directly aimed at the audience, but what about us? Our first step is to pass the review, then the evaluation within the circle, and finally the audience..."

Hearing this, Shen Xudong swallowed and said to himself: "... Then wouldn't it be funny when I introduce myself at the beginning of school?"

"You just realized that?"

"That's good. He woke up in a month, which shows that the fourth child is still very talented!"
