Ning Hao thought about it and listed all the film companies he went to before, no less than a dozen large and small, especially after talking about pony galloping.

Boss Shang frowned slightly, then closed the script, looked at Yao Cheng, looked apologetic, shook his head, and said, "Xiao Yao, it seems that I can't help your friend anymore." I'm sorry. ”

Boss Shang had a very regretful expression on his face, sorry, if he starred in a movie, he might be able to win an actor.

Yao Cheng looked disappointed, and anxiously asked Boss Shang: "Why?"

Boss Shang patiently explained: "I and Lao Hu, who is galloping with the pony, and Liu Xian of the Northern Alliance are all old friends for many years, and their sense of market smell is much sharper than that of me, a director, you see that even they rejected your little boyfriend." ”

Boss Shang spread his hands helplessly, and looked at Yao Cheng comfortingly: "I'm sorry." ”

"Director, is there really no way?" Yao Cheng had a bitter face, still a little reluctant to believe it.

"Yao Cheng, it's okay, I'm used to it." Ning Hao said to Yao Cheng, smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at Boss Shang again, and said politely, "Thank you, director, I understand." ”

Boss Shang nodded slightly, but he didn't expect this young man to be so impatient, but he thought about it again, and said seriously: "Ning Hao, with all due respect, it is impossible for a movie like you to be produced with DV to be distributed in BJ, so many companies have rejected you, which is already very revealing." ”

Boss Shang looked at Ning Hao again, and suggested: "Actually, with your appearance, I think being an actor may have a higher success rate." ”

The implication is that Ning Hao doesn't have to waste any more time.

"No, no, director, I think this little guy is more suitable to be a singer, after all, he is so pretentious." Zhang Jian said sarcastically on the side, obviously still thinking about what happened just now.

Ning Hao smiled, and then refused: "I don't have much interest in acting, and I don't have a professional background, as for playing music and making songs, if anyone is interested, I can give advice." ”

"Boss Shang, you haven't watched Ning Hao's movies, how do you know it's not good. That movie was really outstanding. Yao Cheng continued to try to persuade on the side.

"Okay Yao Cheng, I'm just a director, and all I can do is recommend it to my friends, but you can also see that my friends who know have clearly rejected Ning Hao."

"Yao Cheng, it's okay, don't worry about me." Ning Hao smiled at Yao Cheng, but although he said so, he began to be a little worried in his heart.

Just like what Boss Shang said, in this industry, reputation is extremely important, no company is willing to take such a big risk for a fledgling boy's small-budget movie, and the movie is a commodity, to put it bluntly, it is used to make profits, obviously "Crazy Stone" In the eyes of many film buying managers, it is only the sky to be able to make hundreds of thousands, and these profits are better than nothing.

"I'm sorry." Yao Cheng's face was disappointed, very low, originally she wanted to be able to help Ning Hao, this was the gift she wanted most on her birthday this time.

"Alright, guys, let's not talk about it, let's talk about today's topic." Sha Yi broke the siege again and said to everyone, "Yao Cheng, be happy, today is your birthday." ”

Ning Hao's face also turned warm, and he said with a smile: "Come on, Yao Cheng, you are the protagonist today." ”

Yao Cheng nodded, a smile bloomed on his face again, looked at everyone, and bowed very honored: "Thank you, give me my birthday today." ”

"Wow, it's a birthday, eat cake!" Mo Xiaobei shouted on the side, after all, she was a child, but regardless of Ning Hao's matter before, she was waiting for the big cake now.

……

"Happy birthday to you...... Happy birthday to you......"

In the lobby, the lights were turned off, Yan Ni pushed a cake cart out, with small candles lit on it, the whole cake was three layers high, everyone sang happily together, and beat softly.

"Yao Cheng, come and make a wish." Yan Ni reminded.

"Hmm." Yao Cheng put his hands together, looked at the people around him, looked at these friends, the director, and the most special Ning Hao, which made her very warm, closed her eyes, and thought silently in her heart, "My wish is that my family and friends can be happy and healthy every day, our crew can shoot smoothly, and most importantly, I hope that Ning Hao's movie can be selected by the film company immediately, and then it can be released and sold well!" .....Well, it seems to be a little too much, no matter, that's it anyway......"

After making a wish, he opened his eyes, blew out all the candles in one go, and smiled happily.

"Happy birthday, Yao Cheng." Everyone in the crew applauded happily and sent their blessings to Yao Cheng.

It's just that her wish seems to be a little late.

……

BJ's trip came to an end, and in the end, Ning Hao didn't achieve what he wanted, but he did meet some friends.

After returning to Hangzhou to rest and adjust for a few days, Ning Hao moved to Hong Kong again, in addition to BJ, Hong Kong is the most developed film industry. Hong Kong cinema is known as the Hollywood of the East, especially from the 70s to the 90s of the 20th century, which is his golden years, and has flocked to countless classics. It's just that now it's in its twilight years, and it's not as good as before.

However, there are still many film companies in this land.

The fifteenth day of my arrival in Hong Kong.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ning, we don't think your movie is suitable for theater release, who would go to watch such an inferior movie?"

"I'm sorry, with all due respect, this kind of movie is like a snack at a roadside stall, although it tastes okay, but it will never be brought to a hotel banquet."

"Distributing this movie? Oh, don't make a fuss, kid, movies are a very serious thing, he needs to burn money, not just become famous casually as you think......"

Ning Hao ran to more than a dozen film companies, almost all the corners of the corner, and this is still not counting the dozens of companies that don't even meet each other.

From the beginning of full of confidence, to now, Ning Hao is also starting to be a little dazed, and even feels a little tired.

But every morning, standing at the window looking in the direction of his hometown, thinking about Ning'er and his mother at home, he forced himself to cheer up again and continued to contact the film company.

And because the remaining money needs to be used for publicity and household use in the future, there is not much that Ning Hao can use, and he has to take a taxi fare, accommodation fee, and eat every day when he runs around, although Ning Hao is already very economical, but it is still a big expense.

And more often than not, he is waiting for an appointment, it is a terrible thing to be alone in a lonely city, so since a few days ago, Ning Hao has been working part-time in a convenience store to earn some money, and not to be bored in the house and go crazy.

He needs some market gas, life gas.

But because I often have to run out to sell videos, the time is very unstable, and I was kicked out after two days of work, and then I simply hoped to numb myself through manual work, and began to work as an hourly worker.

For example, handing out flyers on crowded streets, or helping to deliver food and beverages. Even, Ning Hao also helped people do furniture moving.

Sometimes Ning Hao will doubt, frustrated, and collapsed, what is he so hard and tired?
