Time flies, autumn goes to winter, and in a blink of an eye, it is the middle of December.

In the past 50 days, Li Zi'an has a very deep understanding of what it means to be "busy as a dog".

Although he promised Han Jingwen that she could try not to ask for leave if she didn't ask for leave, there were too many trivial things to set up the crew, and many things had to be solved by him personally, such as the formation of the extremely important director team, camera team, and lighting team in the crew, as well as the interviews of important supporting roles, everything was inseparable from him.

So in the past fifty days, Li Zi'an has taken nearly twenty days of leave before and after, and this is because of Han Qian's help.

But in the end, the hard work paid off, he barely succeeded in setting up the crew, all the preparations were ready, and it was almost officially launched.

In mid-November, the school leaders met with Li Zi'an to communicate with each other, and learned about Li Zi'an's plan in detail, and on the third day after the two sides met, the school gave a clear reply, and only charged a small fee symbolically, giving him a lot of support, which made Li Zi'an a little moved.

At the same time, in the past fifty days, Li Zi'an's kryptonite skill tree has also undergone a lot of changes, and many skill tree branches have lit up.

Today, Li Zi'an's skills are as follows:

[Craftsman level: singing, directing, editing, artistic literacy]

[Work level: guitar, dance, drawing, photography, videography, screenwriting, acting, sound design, on-set recording, on-set lighting, prop design, team management]

[Apprentice: ......]

In these fifty days, Li Zi'an has accumulated his expertise to a height that no one of his age can reach.

Originally, Li Zi'an thought that he only needed one director skill to be a director, but when he really promoted the director to the level of a craftsman, he found that most of what he learned was some experience, and that feeling was like a castle in the air, which seemed to be very tall on the outside, but in fact it was extremely fragile on the inside, and he couldn't withstand the slightest strength at all.

What is a director?

Directors can't be taught, directors are self-taught, when you figure out the functions of all departments on the set, when there is a problem in any department, you can solve it with your own ability, at that time, you can call the word director.

When Li Zi'an understood the essence of the director, he began to frantically krypton other skills, and he krypton all the professional skills of the most basic departments on the set.

When he finally finished the team management, he suddenly had a new understanding of the profession of director, the illusion of the castle in the air disappeared, replaced by an extremely solid sense of heaviness, and the more he learned, the more he felt small, and he had a very deep interest in the profession of director.

Of course, the money spent on Li Zi'an's rapid climbing of the skill tree was naturally extremely expensive, and after he removed the daily consumption of the krypton gold system in the past fifty days, he also spent nearly 150w before and after.

In addition, the cost of crew formation is also huge, and he spent nearly 250w in total.

However, for the current expenses, Li Zi'an is still completely affordable.

Huaxing Publishing House's manuscript fees for October and November have already arrived, his pre-tax manuscript fee in October was 5.3 million, and the manuscript fee in November was 7.6 million, even after deducting the high manuscript tax, Li Zi'an's net income was nearly 12 million.

However, due to large expenditures, Li Zi'an's savings have never exceeded eight figures, and they have always been hovering around the number of 900w.

"Sadness Flows Into a River" has sold nearly 15 million copies nationwide in two months, from the beginning of the supply of only enough to supply domestic first-tier cities, to now it has been rolled out in all cities across the country, even now, the book sales are extremely considerable.

A few days ago, Zhou Ru of Huaxing Publishing House also flew over from Kyoto to discuss the next step of the book with Li Zi'an, and Huaxing Publishing House plans to translate the book into multiple languages at the beginning of 2021 and sell it simultaneously in many countries around the world.

For this book, Li Zi'an only authorized the Chinese copyright of Huaxing Publishing House, and the foreign language copyright is still in Li Zi'an's hands.

However, Huaxing Publishing House is very sincere, and took the initiative to increase the royalty of Li Zi'an's foreign language copyright from the original 5% to 15%, and the 15% royalty is already the royalty price that can only be obtained by top domestic writers.

Li Zi'an was very satisfied with this royalty price, so he signed a foreign language copyright authorization contract with Zhou Ru and agreed to the cooperation intention of Huaxing Publishing House.

It is worth mentioning that because the book "Sadness Flows into a River" caused a huge response across the country, when the list of fifth-tier stars was announced in November, An Zimu successfully broke into the list and directly ranked 236th, only 160 places away from Li Zi'an's 76th, becoming a star writer who has been in the limelight for a while.

In these fifty days, Li Zi'an has lived an extremely fulfilling life, and at the same time, the whole person is also growing rapidly.

The most intuitive embodiment is in the personal temperament, the whole person has become more calm, and there is a kind of dominance that only the superior has on his body, although this dominance is extremely weak, but this feeling is real, and the most deeply felt is Li Zi'an's head teacher Wang Changhai.

At this time, Li Zi'an and Wang Changhai were standing at the door of the class on campus, Li Zi'an did not wear a school uniform, but wore a casual suit, a black bomber jacket, overalls on the bottom, and a pair of Martin boots under his feet, and the whole person looked very cool.

"Lao Wang, I'll take Fang Chang and Zhao Yuqian away, our whole crew will have dinner in the evening, and the film will officially start tomorrow, one of them is the leading actor and the other is the second male, you have to go over to recognize someone. Li Zi'an said softly to Wang Changhai.

Wang Changhai nodded, and said with a smile: "How is it, everything is ready, right?"

"Everything you can think of is prepared, and what you can't think of can only be prepared when you think of it. Li Zi'an shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I used to feel the most tired from studying, but now I realize that it is so happy to sit in the classroom and study with peace of mind, and I have almost not been tired to death for more than a month." ”

"You pull it down, studying can still tire you? You are not in school for half a month, but you can be in the top ten in every monthly exam, do you know that you are very bad at those students who study hard?" Wang Changhai scolded with a smile.

Li Zi'an smiled: "Isn't this the foundation you gave me two years ago, teacher, I don't dare to take all this military merit medal." ”

Wang Changhai smiled and shook his head: "You, I'm very relieved, Zhao Yuqian and I'm also very relieved, but I'm a little worried about this Fang Chang, if he wants to be admitted to Huaxia University of Arts, he has to work hard in this cultural class, usually in the crew, you and Zhao Yuqian keep an eye on him, don't let him patronize filming and lose all his knowledge, then it's a matter of abandoning the basics." ”

Li Zi'an nodded: "Don't worry, Lao Wang, I will look at him about this, and I and Sissi will not throw away the cultural class." ”

Hearing this, Wang Changhai bowed slightly, and didn't say anything more, he stepped forward, knocked on the classroom door, signaled to the teacher who was in class, and then beckoned to Zhao Yuqian and Fang Chang.

Zhao Yuqian and Fang Chang both knew what was going on, and their schoolbags had already been packed, and the two walked out of the classroom quickly under the attention of the whole class.

After the two came out, Wang Changhai signaled to the subject teacher again and closed the door again.

"This is a fake note for the two of you, since you have chosen the road of art examination, then you should film hard, perform some results, and go all out to sprint to the world's highest art school, the teacher hopes that in the future, there will be two more big stars under my hands, you come on!" Wang Changhai said to the two with encouragement.

Fang Chang and Zhao Yuqian were very moved, and both of them responded very sincerely.

"Let's go......"

Li Zi'an nodded, and finally greeted Wang Changhai, and then led Zhao Yuqian and Fang Chang to leave......
