Director Zhang continued: "My father is very famous in the local area, our family was also worry-free when I was a child, even when I was in college, I was also worry-free, and later, when I graduated from college, I originally thought that learning something I liked would be able to break out of another world outside, but there are unforeseen circumstances. People have good and bad luck. ”

Yi Yan listened to Director Zhang's words, and thought: "One thing is that something happened in Director Zhang's family, so it's like this." So, Yi Yan looked extremely regretful and said: "It's okay, Director Zhang, everyone will encounter something." ”

Director Zhang nodded and said: "However, this incident of mine has changed my life, because after I just learned to direct, when I was about to make a few small films to practice my hands, my family called me and asked me to go back, and arranged a blind date for me." ”

Yi Yan was thinking about whether something had happened in Director Zhang's home, but when he heard Director Zhang say this, Yi Yan suddenly felt that he had said something wrong, and some guilt was written on his face.

Director Zhang continued: "It's better if I don't go back, I won't come out for a long time because my family won't let me come out, and they don't agree with me to come out as a director, but I love this profession, I like this profession, no matter what it is, there is no way to stop my pursuit of art, that desire, Yi Yan, you know? It's really too strong!"

Yi Yan nodded and said, "I know!"

Director Zhang continued to add: "The family wants me to inherit the family property, I want to come out, just because of this matter, I often quarrel with the family, and also try to run away from home, just like that, we have been in a stalemate for about a year, and later, the family is afraid that if I stay at home, what will happen, is what they don't want to see, if I say what my acting skills are practiced."

I can say that it was practiced during the stalemate with the family, and what I showed was simply to make them afraid, and there was no way in the family but to let me go out and work hard, but I had three chapters with the family.

First, I have to break out on my own, I can't ask for a penny from my family, I can't get any help from my family.

Second, I must make a name for myself within three years, at least a little famous, if I can't make it within three years, then I have to go home honestly, inherit the family property, and listen to my parents' arrangements.

Third, I must become the youngest top 10 director in the southern country. ”

After hearing this, Yi Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, these three things, one thing is more difficult than the other, and said: "People in this world are really strange, some people have no money in their families, but they have to pretend that they are the rich second generation, and some people, obviously have money in the family, but they still don't want to be the rich second generation."

Some people can have a good future, a house, a car, a ticket, everything, but they don't want it.

Some people earn their lives for these things. ”

Director Zhang also breathed a long sigh of relief at this time, and said: "Maybe that's it! You always envy other people's lives, but you never know you, in fact, you are also the kind of life that others envy!"

Of course, no matter what kind of life we live now, what we should cherish most is the life in front of us. ”

Yi Yan nodded and asked, "When you came out, the family really didn't give you a penny?" So how did you make movies, how did you attract investment, or did you even have a place to live, how did you live?"

Director Zhang said: "The family said that they would not give me a penny, everything let me rely on myself, but my mother secretly gave me fifty or sixty thousand, I always thought that my father did not know, in fact, I thought wrong, at that time the fifty or sixty thousand yuan was given to my mother by my father, he couldn't save this face, so let my mother come forward, you say, which parent doesn't love their children?"

"Well, since your father is a famous businessman, he has experienced a lot of things, and I believe that he will definitely do things like this. It's about letting you grow freely and not giving you any money, in fact, then secret help is still indispensable. ”

Yi Yan continued to ask: "Fortunately, you are still more competitive, and you have finally completed this second condition." ”

Director Zhang said: "You are now when you see the thief eating meat, you don't see the thief being beaten, in fact, I have worked hard a lot for this little fame, at the beginning, I couldn't even find the actor, I don't know where to look, to put it bluntly, if there is no master of my master, if there is no father of Xia Zhixia, I think, I can't step into this road now, they introduced me to many investors."

However, they can only be responsible for introduction, everything has to be done by myself, I can only be like a salesman, constantly selling my films, telling them what the future of my movies will be, telling them what my movies will look like at the box office in the future, so that they can rest assured.

When I didn't have actors, I asked the two of them to borrow them, but the good actors didn't want to act in my movies, and I couldn't watch the bad actors, so it was really tangled in those days.

I remember when I first started making movies, I often couldn't close my eyes for days and days, not to mention whether I was busy or not, but when I just closed my eyes, I would remember the three chapters of the covenant with my parents, and I couldn't sleep unconsciously.

In the first year of coming out, I looked for investors, but I couldn't find them for a long time, and the first year passed like this, and in the second year, the investors found them, but they couldn't find a suitable actor, because I wasn't famous, which actor didn't want to be famous? Isn't it more difficult for them to be famous under a director who is not famous? Therefore, they don't want to waste too much time with me.

Therefore, in the absence of actors, the investors will also withdraw their funds, and I can only start all over again! I will look for investors and actors again, and finally, at the end of the second year, the crew of my first film will be born, and I can finally achieve my dream of directing. ”

Yi Yan said: "Later, did you make your first film, and the result was very high at the box office?"

Director Zhang shook his head, "At that time, I also thought so, I thought, I can finally display my talent now, but in the end, the talent is there, and I haven't passed the trial, you say it's not angry." ”

"What then?" Yi Yan asked.

Director Zhang said: "Because it was too late at that time, it was already September of the third year, and I still had three months to go, and after the actors finished filming, they were all gone. I had no choice but to revise the script overnight and then become an actor myself. I re-enacted all the parts that couldn't pass the review, and finally, in December, I finally finished filming, which was also my first film. ”

"So, after this revision, it's been reviewed, right?"

Director Zhang said: "That's right, maybe it's my luck, or maybe God thinks I'm too pitiful, so for my favor, this time, I passed, at that time, the department that reviewed the film was about to go on holiday, so they accelerated the pace of review, and after my film was submitted, it had been reviewed in less than a week, and it was directly scheduled." The premiere is just half a month away.

That year, mid-February was the Spring Festival, that is, on the eve of the Spring Festival, my movie was going to be taken off the shelves, and I was only given 20 days to play it and half a month to prepare. Unexpectedly, as soon as the film was released, it caused a huge reversal, and I became famous during that time.

This is the first time in three years that I have been successful, and this feeling of success is really wonderful! On the day of the premiere, my film, both in terms of ratings and box office, was much higher than the same period. At that time, there was not much money for publicity, so I had to invite reporters to come over and do a press conference.

It was this press conference that made me famous in the whole southern country, so I had my second film, my third film, the process from zero to one is very difficult, but the process from one to ten is very easy.

Because from one to ten, you just need to copy, but, from zero to one, it's all up to you. ”

Yi Yan nodded and said, "Now Director Zhang is left with the last wrong, and that is the top ten directors in the southern country." ”

Director Zhang said: "Yes, I must win the top ten directors in the south within these three years and become the youngest top ten directors in the south, but this is only the three chapters of the agreement with my parents, I think that everyone must give themselves a higher goal, so my goal for myself is to win the top ten directors in the south this year, of course, all of this is indispensable for your help." ”

Yi Yan said: "Don't worry about this, as long as there is any place where I can be used, as long as I have that ability, I will definitely help you." ”

Director Zhang said: "There is really a matter that needs your help now. ”

Yi Yan said: "You said let me go to your crew, right?"

Director Zhang nodded, "I hope you can come to our crew after filming Director Chen's scene, in terms of treatment, you just have to mention, as long as I can do it, I can apply for it for you, I will definitely not be ambiguous." ”

Yi Yan said: "Director Zhang, I still say the same thing, I want to prove myself now, prove that I am capable, so that I can go to your crew, otherwise, it will be a matter of delaying you in the past." ”
