At the American Film Academy, on a bench by a tree-lined path, John held his diploma in his hand, looking at the school known as the cradle of filmmakers, and felt a little reluctant in his heart.

In a few moments, he will leave here and return to society to fulfill the dream that accompanied him II.

From 1970 to the present, he has been in this world for 20 years, but he has never forgotten the experiences of his previous life, on the other side of the Pacific.

In the previous life, he graduated from Yenching Film Academy with excellent grades, and he was also considered to be a famous family, and after graduation, he also devoted himself to the film industry with hope, but he did not mix up any fame, in this circle, if there is no company or nobleman to support, if you want to get ahead, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, after touching the wall countless times, he finally recognized the reality and started from an ordinary drama staff.

Although it was too difficult to get ahead, he never gave up his dream of becoming a big director, devoted himself to the film career, continued to specialize, worked hard to accumulate, started as a drama staff, and later became an editor, photographer, assistant director, and at the age of 40, he became a director again, and also undertook to shoot a small-budget film, although the investment was less, but he was very happy, because this was the first film in his life.

However, just when he was about to show his skills and show his talents, he was knocked back to New York in 1970 by a sudden car accident and became an American John.

This world is a parallel world, roughly similar to his previous life, but suddenly from a Chinese, to an American, which made him a little uncomfortable, but fortunately he was still a baby when he was reborn, otherwise he would definitely be exposed, and he would definitely be caught for slicing and studying.

John felt a bit fucked up about the country of the United States, unlike the China he used to live in.

The law is fucked here, the laws are different in every state, it's extremely complicated, and a lot of Americans can't figure it out until they die, so the lawyer industry here is developed, and basically everyone has a lawyer.

It's not like Huaxia either, it's not the chengguan that is powerful, but the tax bureau, and there are only two things that are eternal in the life of Americans, death and paying taxes.

The people here can scold the parliament, the president, and the government, but they must not discriminate against women, children, religion and race, especially blacks, who have a glass heart and are fragile. You can't abuse animals, because there is a group of people who love animals more than humans.

It took John years to get used to such a fucked country.

And John's full name in this life is John Chris Deng Morgan, codename JK.

God took away the impending success of his previous life, and gave him a prominent family in this life, which is regarded as a kind of compensation for him!

In this life, he was born in the famous Morgan family, yes, it is the Morgan consortium that ranks second among the world's top ten consortia, known as the Phantom Consortium, a banker among bankers, with family assets of trillions of dollars, second only to the Rockefeller family.

You may not have heard of the Morgan family, but you must be familiar with the well-known companies under its consortium, such as JPMorgan Chase Bank and Morgan Stanley in the financial field, NBC Radio and Television Company in the media field, AT&T in the communications field, General Motors in the transportation field, General Electric in the diversified service field, Grumman Aircraft Company and General Dynamics in the arms field, and IBM in the IT field.

If these world's 500 companies are nothing, then the Morgan family is still the boss behind the Democratic Party in the United States, and at the same time occupies 4/1 of the seats in the Federal Reserve. This is also why during the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2008, investment banks such as Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Bear Stearns collapsed, but Morgan Stanley was able to receive more than $100 billion in aid from the Federal Reserve, and finally JPMorgan Chase successfully acquired Bear Stearns.

Through the efforts of several generations for more than 100 years, the Morgan family has extended its tentacles from the financial field, firmly controlled the world power through the economy, arms, and political parties, and further relied on this power to extend its tentacles to every corner of the world.

However, what is more embarrassing is that it is such a powerful and powerful family that dominates the world pattern, but the people are very withered, and in John's generation, the entire Morgan family lineage is only one heir to him, no brothers and brothers, no sisters and sisters, unlike the old rival Rockefeller family, the population of the sixth generation family is as many as 70, and there is no need to call outsiders to fight in a group, and the Rockefeller family itself can play with a fist.

It is precisely because John is the only heir of the sixth generation of the Morgan family that the old Morgan is very strict with John, from clothing and food to words and deeds.

So being born in such a family is a kind of luck for John, but also a kind of misfortune, because the Morgan family is known as the Phantom Consortium, and the principle of doing things is not as high-profile as the Rockefeller family, the Morgan family usually manipulates everything behind the scenes, and the people in the family never appear in front of the public in a high-profile manner, and even the names of the patriarch and heir of the family are replaced by code names, such as John's code name is JK, John's father code name JY, John's grandfather code name JS, and the founder of the Morgan family, John Pierpont · Morgan's code name is JP.

The public knows the existence of the Morgan family, but they may not have seen the members of the Morgan family, and even if they do, it is impossible for the general public to know it.

And this rule of the Morgan family gave John a lot of headaches, and John's dream was to become an excellent film director, shoot one excellent movie after another, and present it to people.

But although the director's job is not as popular as the actor, it can't get rid of the spotlight, so John's dream is very deviant for the Morgan family.

When John graduated from Harvard University and chose to study for a master's degree at the American Film Academy, the elder Morgan was furious on the spot, and the image of a gentleman who was usually well maintained could not be cared about at that moment.

The elder Morgan took great pains to make John turn back, and did not hesitate to impose economic sanctions for this, but this did not make John's prodigal son turn back.

John eventually moved from Harvard University to the American Film Institute's directing department with a few belongings.

It stands to reason that John graduated from the Yenching Film Academy in his last life and has been engaged in crew work for many years, so he should go directly to shoot movies without studying at the American Film Academy.

But John's only advantage is that he can see his own ability clearly, although he also graduated from a famous film school in his last life, but there are cultural differences between the cultures of China and the United States, and the structure of the film industry is also very different.

Then you might say that Ang Lee and John Woo are also doing well in the United States? Especially Ang Lee, who won the Oscar for Best Director.

But how many John Woo and how many Ang Lee John are not as good as them in China, otherwise they wouldn't have been mixed up for more than 20 years in their last life.

And John does not have a strong grasp of the artistry of films, and there is no problem in making some commercial films with his current ability, but if he wants to make literary films, he is obviously a little uncontrollable, which is why John chose the American Film Academy instead of going to USC.

The mission of the American Film Academy is to preserve the traditions of American cinema and to promote its artistic development."

Although John may focus on commercial films in the future and rarely make literary films, studying at the American Film Academy can increase his artistic ability in commercial films and improve the quality of films, which is good for himself and the audience.

"Hoo ......"

John stood up and exhaled, shook out all the jumbled thoughts in his head, and walked to the student dormitory, where he had to say goodbye to a few of his classmates and then fly back to his home in New York, where there was not much time for him to grieve and grieve......
