After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

After saying goodbye to the girl, Jiang Baige quickened his pace while confirming that he had no other plans this morning.

She must go back as soon as possible to give her heroine an ending—

When the heroine won numerous awards and finally gained a place in the film industry, she suddenly discovered that all the directors around her were male directors.

Most of the people who work with her are male producers, screenwriters and photographers.

Where are the women around her who once talked with her about movies all night long, who jumped for joy over an idea, who encouraged her and gave her money to support her when she was desperate...?

Did she lose them?

Or is it that as she stands higher, there become fewer and fewer women who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her?

Suddenly, the happy feeling of realizing my dream disappeared.

She felt a sense of despair and pain.

Because she can't take the lead in any discussion, and no one really wants to listen to her about what kind of woman she wants to portray and what the female audience cares about...

Just like the piano is designed according to the shape of men's hands, the protective clothing is designed according to the shape of men's bodies, the safety design of cars is based on men's needs... and all the default "man = man" settings in life.

When they were discussing "what kind of characters we want to present and to whom we want to present these characters", they assumed that the protagonist was a man, and the audience was also a man.

Women, who make up half of the world's population and bear the heavy responsibility of human reproduction, just disappeared inexplicably.

Just like the female practitioners who disappeared around her: they still exist in this industry, but have no voice.

The heroine collapsed.

But her collapse was not due to self-abandonment or self-doubt.

She secluded herself for more than a year, not filming or participating in any shows... It was as if she had disappeared from this industry, or even this world.

Sometimes, the actresses she supports will even mention her in interviews, and will openly tell reporters: "If any of you can contact her, please tell her that it's a bit boring to play cards without anyone around to chat."

But she was actually doing something else.

She set up a film fund and began to vigorously support young directors.

But anyone with a discerning eye could immediately notice that four and a half out of the five support categories of this fund are for female directors.

Because it puts forward clear and strict requirements for the shaping of female characters in films.

Male directors can also compete for the remaining half chance. Although they may not succeed, we should not say that we should not give them a chance.

If you seize the opportunity, you can reap the "policy dividend" of this project.

Although how to operate, how to support, how much money and resources to give are all decided by the heroine, but——

"After all, we still encourage equality between men and women."

In an interview, the heroine said with a smile.

Now that I'm tired of the old rules, I don't want to break the various restrictions they have established.

It’s better to create your own matriarchal film empire.

Let her do the things of charging into battle and opening up new territories. She is only in her fifties and still has plenty of strength and drive.

The construction should be handed over to the young people. She is already fifty years old, it is time to give the opportunity to the young people.

After finishing and revising the ending of this article about the entertainment industry, it was time for Jiang Baige to leave the crew and return to school.

Because the work of the crew was arranged by Buwan Media, even though the internship certificate was issued by Buwan Film and Television, Jiang Baige still went to Buwan Media to get it as before.

Before getting the second internship certificate, Jiang Baige received the result of the final interview with the foreign company a few years ago, saying that she had passed.

Without much hesitation, she decided to accept the job.

This is not just because between continuing to write online articles and going to work without entertainment, she chose the former.

It is also because she knows that a year later, the "film and television winter" will come.

If what I said before sounded a bit pessimistic and was not really fulfilled, then after the "baptism" of the epidemic... the film and television industry did quickly fall into a slump.

Of course, even if the income of the top group of people has dropped sharply over the past three years, they can still live a life far more affluent than that of ordinary working people.

The extent to which life is affected always decreases from the bottom to the top.

But Jiang Baige is just an office worker.

When the cold winter of the film and television industry hit, she was of course the first to suffer.

Not to mention whether I can keep this job, even if I do, will the workload increase dramatically?

Because the precursors of all recessions are cost reduction and efficiency improvement - layoffs.

Of course, the company will say that the layoffs are due to reduced workload. But it is easy to tell whether the workload will really be reduced.

In the end, the employees who stay will have more work to do.

But the money hasn't increased at all.

The work intensity in this circle was already too high for her, and even the internship period made her feel very tired.

By that time, it would be fine if I had given up on writing... but I'm afraid that I might even want to give up on my life.

It would be fine if I didn’t find the meaning of life.

But she has found it, and there is no reason to live a meaningless life anymore.

When I was picking up my internship certificate, the team leader asked casually, "Apart from the graduation thesis, shouldn't there be anything else to do in the second semester of the third year of graduate school? It just so happens that the company has some permanent positions available..."

Start painting the pie.

This time on the crew, Jiang Baige came into contact with more people and heard a lot of gossip.

One of them is that every time the campus recruitment season comes, various departments of the company will take the initiative to tempt everyone with the offer of internship-to-performer positions in order to recruit people.

However, the company actually has very few vacancies for regular employees, because most projects are outsourced and fixed expenses need to be minimized.

Not only that, this company is no different from other companies and still prefers to recruit interns.

Cheap labor, everyone understands it.

Even if you become a regular employee, it doesn't mean everything is fine.

A girl who became a full-time employee last year said that there have been two rounds of optimization from last year to this year, and their department has been optimized from eight people to only three now.

But there is still no shortage of work.

For example, this skit. Their department had never been responsible for it before, but because the department responsible for this area was also optimized and only had a few people, they were temporarily brought in because of the shortage of manpower.

Although they say they are “helping”, their original work cannot be delayed.

The girl became angrier and angrier as she spoke, wishing she could mix a swear word or two into every sentence.

But the conversation ended with: "But the salary is indeed higher than other places... I may not be able to find a better job if I leave here, so I'll just do this."

Jiang Baige looked at the team leader in front of him who looked unwell—dark circles under his eyes that couldn’t be covered up by his black glasses, drooping eyes, and a table full of health supplements. He hadn’t had time to throw away the takeaway food he had eaten at noon—

East Asians who are busy all their lives.

The same goes for herself.

But...is she really just going to accept her fate?
