Chapter 388: It's hard to be a director

After sending John off, he returned to the 'gardening training class', everyone dispersed, and Li Feng came to the pavilion, boiling water to make tea, and turned on the computer, ready to find a TV series to pass the time.

As a result, after searching for more than half an hour, I couldn't find a single one that could satisfy my appetite. At the beginning of the year, there were not many new TV series, except for Lin Siyun's "A Life of Happiness", there was no hit drama.

And "A Life of Happiness", Li Feng resolutely did not watch it.

His willpower is getting stronger and stronger now, and he won't watch it if he doesn't watch it, but he won't be like those netizens on the Internet, who said before the release that he would resolutely not watch this kind of abusive drama, and he would eat live if he watched it. As a result, when "A Life of Happiness" became popular, and there were more and more people talking about the plot and actors around, I couldn't help the curiosity in my heart, secretly glanced at it a few times, and then sank.

Recently, there was a shortage of books, and there were no TV series worth watching, Li Feng opened the penguin mailbox on a whim, and studied a lot of personal resumes.

In fact, Li Feng and Ah Fei rarely look at these resumes anymore.

First, most of these resumes were sent three years ago. After such a long time, occasionally when I feel good, Li Feng calls the phone number left on his resume, and there is often a situation where the other party has changed his number.

Second, the earthworks of the 'All-Vocational Famous Teachers School' have been completed as early as the end of the year, and the main body has begun at the beginning of the year. According to the construction period, the greening project and part of the main body and decoration will be completed within this year.

In other words, if Li Feng is willing, the 'All-Vocational Famous Teacher School' can start recruiting students next year. If you want to accept students, you can let the teachers of the school be responsible for screening, selecting and inspecting the students in the school, and you don't need to rely on him and Ah Fei to find them slowly from countless emails.

About half an hour, a resume appeared in Li Feng's sight.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Li Feng swept it roughly, and he was a little interested.

The owner of the resume is named Cai Zilong, a young man who has just reached the age of thirty. Of course, this is the age of three years ago.

At a very young age, he was hooked on movies and the screen that could make people feel immersive. When he saw more and knew more things, he dreamed of becoming an international director one day.

He was successfully admitted to the directing department of a film school, and took the first step with great ambition.

The ignorant are fearless, and when they know it, they know how deep the water is and how far away the dream is.

Director is not at all a career that has just graduated and has no connections.

Even, he was running around, and he couldn't even mix with a small assistant.

He tried to start with advertising director, short film director, and drama director, but either no one wanted it, or it was unsatisfactory to the public.

He gave up this road of upgrading again, changed to save the country with a curve, and decided to focus on learning, trying his best to mix in a crew first, and work hard to learn and improve himself.

He worked as a lighting assistant, prop clerk, handyman...... Over the years, he thinks he's learned a lot. However, he still can't get the position of assistant director. I went back to work as an advertising director, a short film director, and a drama director, but I still didn't achieve anything.

It dawned on him.

If you want to become a director, you must first have a certain reputation.

He decided to take another path – as a screenwriter or as an actor.

As long as he can become famous, there will naturally be investors who will spend money to hire him as a director.

He began to write scripts, starting with group performances, and in the past few years, his scripts have never been favored, and his acting is only barely mixed to be a small supporting role in a small production. Walking on the main road, no one ever knew who he was.

He came to his senses again.

If you want to become a director, you must first have connections.

first lift shoes for people, and then be carried by others, with connections, he can be promoted step by step to the ranks of directors.

He began to make all kinds of friendships as grandchildren, and all kinds of unspoken rules.

It's a pity that his skin is not thick enough, his eloquence is not very good, and his skin is not very handsome, and he has never been able to climb those who can really pull him up.

In the past eight or nine years, most of his classmates have changed careers, or An An is engaged in film industry-related work. He is the only one who is still struggling and looking for opportunities.

"I'm a persistent person, and I don't know how the next three years have passed. And ......"

Li Feng pondered whether to try to call the other party and ask the other party to send a video to the second level test, he could feel Cai Zilong's dedication to the director. But in the same way, I also feel that this Cai Zilong has a slight problem with his character after being devastated by reality.

He accepts students and does not require them to have a good character. Among so many of their students, including him, the real ones with good character are actually Chang Shan and Yang Xixi. Even Qiao Xue, who is determined to delay the decline of traditional Chinese medicine and does not hesitate to disclose prescriptions for free to benefit countless people, is actually not a good person in the real sense, because whether it is to make prescriptions public or treat some poor people for free, she is purposeful. Like Chang Shan and Yang Xixi, the two of them, when they do good deeds, they never think about what benefits or disadvantages they will bring to themselves.

Just like on the surface, the donations of Dumping Snow Company and Diesheng Investment Company to all walks of life are similar to those of Changshan Group. In fact, the anonymous donations of Chang Shan and Liao Qiuhong have reached billions, which is more than ten times the amount of donations on the surface.

If it weren't for Li Feng's 20% stake in Changshan Group, I'm afraid that Changshan and his wife would not have made such an anonymous donation to him.

Therefore, good character has never been something Li Feng cares about. In terms of being a human being, he only cares about understanding and not being grateful. Secondly, it just can't be too bad.

If it's too bad, if he does something angry and resentful in the future, it will affect his reputation.

After thinking about it for a while, and after being a little undecided, Li Feng sent this email to Ah Fei.

In terms of human nature, Ah Fei is an expert.

It was only ten minutes before Ah Fei sent a reply - yes.

Then no problem!

Li Feng immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a call.

……

Film and Television City, a narrow rental house.

Filled with smoke, Cai Zilong looked at the screen of the second-hand computer in a daze. The big front door in his mouth, the filter has been bitten by him.

For several minutes, he couldn't help but scratch his head, and somewhat decadently threw the cigarette butt on the ground, raising his foot to crush it hard.

Irritable, depressed, and unable to think of a plot, he felt that there were countless ants in his head biting, and he wanted to hit his head directly on the wall.

After lighting another cigarette and taking a deep breath, Cai Zilong sighed slightly.

He decided to give up for the time being.

It's been more than two months, and this script still hasn't been written.

Irritability and depression are not the reasons for him to give up, over the years, he has written countless scripts, stuck countless times, and forced the script to come out.

No money is the root cause.

His savings, with only three digits left, were no longer able to allow him to hide in the rental house and conceive the script with peace of mind.

He had to beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother, find a way to find a few small supporting roles, and earn some living expenses first.

"Let's go to the film and television city first and see if you can meet acquaintances......"

Cai Zilong found a razor, first shaved the embarrassing stubble, and then turned out a suit to change into. With all his belongings in his hand, he was about to go out, and in his trouser pocket, his mobile phone rang suddenly.

When I took it out, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Could it be that there are important people from the crew?"

Cai Zilong was pleasantly surprised, he has been in this industry for more than ten years, and it stands to reason that even if he doesn't make any names, he should at least be mixed into an old fritter. The protagonist and the main supporting role are not mixed, and there should be no shortage of roles.

But in fact, he sometimes can't even ask for a role. Because he often buries himself in writing scripts, he often turns to work behind the scenes, tossing and turning every now and then, resulting in a lot of people who know and come into contact, but they are not familiar with them. I haven't seen him for a year or two, and people have forgotten about him completely.

"Hey, hello!" Cai Zilong took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Cai Zilong?" on the other side was Li Feng.

"It's me, it's me, who are you?" Cai Zilong smiled.

"I'm Mr. Li. Li Feng said, "Do you remember that you sent me a resume three years ago?"

The smile on Cai Zilong's face froze.

What the hell is this?

Teacher Li?

Resume?

What a distant thing.

"I just saw your CV today. Li Feng smiled awkwardly: "I think it's not bad, the first level is passed." If you are interested, you can send a video to my email. ”

"Okay, okay. Cai Zilong subconsciously replied.

"Okay, the video can be sent to me at any time. ”

"Good, good ......" Cai Zilong didn't know what he was talking about at all, his mind was chaotic, and he was purely relying on his subconscious to react.

"If it's okay, so be it! Li Feng said hello and hung up the phone.

In my ears, a busy sound sounded.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Cai Zilong regained a little wisdom and put down the mobile phone that had always been in his ear.

Syllable!

After another minute or two, he suddenly slapped him in the face.

It seems to hurt a little, but it doesn't seem to hurt.

Whether it's a dream or not, it's not clear.

He really couldn't believe that after three years, Mr. Li would call him and tell him that he had passed the first level.

Three years!

He had long lost hope.

Trembling, he took out a cigarette and took a deep breath, the crude smoke burned his throat and filled his lungs, making his brain finally clear again.

"I passed the first level of Teacher Li's acceptance of students?"

He finally understood what it meant for Mr. Li to call.

This means that I have a better chance of becoming a student of Mr. Li.

Become a student of Mr. Li, as long as you are a Chinese netizen, you know what it represents.

"If you change your mobile phone number, doesn't that mean you missed this opportunity?"

Cai Zilong was ecstatic and felt scared for a while. In the past three years, because of his travel in the capital and many film and television bases, and because he wanted to cut off contact with many people, he had the urge to change his number several times.

If he really changed his number, it would mean that he would never receive this call today, and he would never have imagined that Mr. Li would call him today.

"Calm, just past the first hurdle, now is not the time to be happy and celebrate. First of all, you have to determine the authenticity of this number, don't be deceived. Then, figure out how to get the video right. In the end, you have to find a job as soon as possible. I waited for three years for the first level, and who knows how many years I will have to wait for the second level......"

Cai Zilong has some resentment, he has seen low work efficiency, but he has never seen such low work efficiency. Government agencies or something, compared to Mr. Li, it is simply inferior.
