Chapter 316: They All Bully Me!
It has been almost half a year since Zhang Xiaoya left the "Interview" column.
In November last year, she interviewed the great director Zhao Sicheng with an expression of both expectation and excitement.
At the beginning of the interview, it was relatively normal, and I asked some things about "Deadly Crisis".
As a result, when asked what would happen if the box office of the movie was not ideal, Zhao Sicheng was furious and scolded her in front of all the audience.
"I'm telling you, your question makes me very unhappy, your question is stupid and bad!"
"I haven't had a movie yet, it's like putting a full moon wine with a child just born, and you ask me what are you going to do if he's dead?"
"What quality!"
“……”
She never thought that an internationally famous director would be so sensitive, let alone that he would smash the microphone on the spot and leave the scene angrily.
She was a little stupefied.
She had just graduated from college, where had she ever seen such a battle.
She was scared at the time, and publicly apologized to Zhao Sicheng on social media over and over again, begging for forgiveness over and over again.
However, being hated by such an international director is basically equivalent to the end of his career.
In fact, it is.
The apology not only had no effect, but was revealed that she was Zhou Yang's former junior high school classmate, and was scolded by Zhao Sicheng for scolding Huai for being decent, not to mention, and received a dismissal letter from the company the next day, she wanted to justify, but not only Weibo and personal accounts were banned, but even a lot of information related to the company on social platforms was wiped out.
Seems......
She has never been in the industry.
She has had nightmares for more than a month, and every nightmare is that live broadcast room, that interview.
After she was fired, she found other jobs in the industry.
However, it is a pity that no one in the related work is willing to hire her, and some people even look at her with sneering eyes.
"Aren't you and Zhou Yang junior high school classmates?"
"Isn't he awesome? Why don't you go to him? ”
"My temple is small, and I can't accommodate you, classmate Zhou Yang......"
“……”
Similar voices are heard endlessly.
It is naturally extremely difficult for a person to wander in Yanjing.
Money, oil, salt, rent, travel......
For her, who has been unemployed for nearly a month and is from a small place, almost every expense weighs her breathless.
Several times, she wanted to use her identity as a classmate to come to Zhou Yang's company to apply for a job with a cheeky face, but every time she came to the door of Huaxing with her resume, she retreated after thinking of a series of wording.
She didn't have anything to bring to her classmate, and her past with nothing was to ask for alms.
During the Spring Festival of 06, she returned to her hometown of ah.
A small village that is not poor, but remote and relatively backward.
It was the most painful Chinese New Year after her graduation.
Her parents advised her to be pragmatic, find someone to marry, and stop running around in Yanjing East.
The neighbors pointed at her, saw that she was dressed fashionably and exquisitely, and thought that she was doing a leather and meat business outside.
People in small places are naturally the same people......
But after the New Year, she still resolutely left her hometown in the eyes of everyone.
Some people have been ordinary all their lives.
And some people are not willing to be ordinary, at least they have to do something.
After returning to Yanjing, she gave up her dream of being a host and began to become pragmatic.
She does odd jobs during the day, uses her drawing skills to help others draw drafts at night, and teaches herself 3D animation design.
She accepted all the sketches in any studio, and even accepted some embarrassing sketches in the island country in order to eat, and her life was quite embarrassing, but she never gave up.
Sometimes the world really doesn't treat a strong hard worker badly.
In March of this year.
The animation she made with the "Storm Team", "Jingwu Little Hero" was officially played on the search video.
Although there are countless bad reviews, the plot is vulgar and has no highlights at all, the exquisite painting still won the praise of some Guoman supporters, so that the animation was taken off the shelves after two more episodes.
April 17 at three o'clock in the afternoon.
On the fourth day after she officially joined "Storm Studios" to do anime full-time, she was called into the office by her boss.
"Little girl, ......"
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"There is no new investment in the studio, so it shouldn't be able to support it, this is your salary for three days......"
"Huh? This, boss, can't you hold on a little longer? Our plot can be adjusted, and I am very optimistic about the future of the company......"
"I'm also very optimistic, but the monthly rent here is 10,000, plus the cost of water and electricity manual operation...... "Jingwu Little Hero" can be continued if there are investors who like it, but ...... Who will do charity when they are full? Our clicks are so low that no one can help us run ads......"
"But ......"
"Forget it, we'll come back when the market gets better in the future......"
The owner of Storm Studios is named Xue Ning.
Like Zhang Xiaoya, she is a girl who just graduated from college and wants to start a business and revitalize Guoman.
When I first started in this industry, I was very ambitious and had a lot of fantastic ideas in my head.
However, doing animation in Huaxia in 07 is tantamount to looking for death.
Especially the animation made by small studios, not only faces the risk of being squeezed by Riman, but also faces many reasons such as peer suppression and market recognition.
"Jingwu Little Hero" didn't make much waves, and the high production costs couldn't bear the sky-high expenses even if Xue Ning's family mirror was solid.
In fact, "Storm Studios" is just one of thousands of companies that have gone out of business.
Even though it is a pity, even if there is a lot of regret in my heart, it is a foregone conclusion, and Zhang Xiaoya has no choice.
She ended up receiving three days' wages and went back to her workstation to pack her things.
Three and a half in the afternoon.
Other colleagues in the studio came out of the office one after another, some with red eyes, some clenched their fists unwillingly, and some with real frustration on their faces.
These people are young people who have just graduated, have passionate dreams, and have decisions to pay for, but in the end they can't bear the reality.
People who generate electricity for their dreams are eventually defeated by the cruel reality.
How many successful people are there among the thousands of dreamers?
"Let's have a meal!"
"Eat better today!"
"After all, we've been working together for so long......"
"This time, though, we're going to AA!"
"Let's go to the dreamland! Dream high-end restaurant, today is the last day anyway, let's have a luxury! ”
"I heard that many big stars will also go to this restaurant, in case you meet Zhou Shuai......"
"You have a sweet dream, how could Zhou Shuai go to such a restaurant!"
"Hey, am I just dreaming, can't I dream now?"
"Don't think about it, the restaurant is not easy to decide, it is always overcrowded......"
"Yes, it has to be decided two or three days in advance, it's really speechless, or ...... Changing places? ”
“……”
Someone in the crowd proposed.
Xue Ning walked out of the office, and when she saw everyone's expressions, she showed a smile.
"Don't worry, I've already booked my seat two days in advance......"
…………………………
Dream Restaurant is a famous music restaurant in Yanjing, and the owner is named Shen Shu, a returnee with feelings.
At the beginning of the opening, in order to make the atmosphere of the whole restaurant different from other music restaurants, Shen Shu specially invited many students from the Yanying Music Department to perform part-time here at the beginning of the opening, and gave them a generous remuneration, and the content of the performance was not rock, but soothing music such as piano and folk guitar.
In the past few years, there have actually been a lot of stars in the music restaurant, such as Song Qianqian, a former member of H48, who has been discovered by talent scouts from here, and there are still photos of Song Qianqian and the boss Shen Shu on the wall.
Guan Tong used to like to come here to eat when she was filming "Youth", she liked to listen to music, watch the quiet atmosphere, the little couples whispering, collecting the expressions on their faces, and integrating their stories into the script.
"Tube ......"
"Shh
"Yes, yes!"
"Boss Shen, is there a place? It's better to be a little quieter, where we're going to talk about something important. ”
"I'll ask ......"
In the soft sound of the piano, Shen Shu looked at an acquaintance wearing a mask and hat in surprise, and his hands were trembling with excitement.
Later, after seeing the two people behind him who were also wearing masks and hats, he trembled slightly.
After he saw Guan Tong's expression, he subconsciously walked towards the front desk.
Guan Tong saw that he was communicating with the front desk repeatedly, as if he was negotiating something, and after about ten minutes, he came over with a smile on his face: "Yes, you come with me, but the box is relatively large, but it is absolutely quiet." ”
"Oh, thank you."
Then, Shen Shu took Guan Tong and a few people towards the northernmost box upstairs.
Some people along the way were curious about a few people, but no one gathered around.
It's normal for people to wear masks and hats here, and it's normal to meet some little stars, and the most everyone is curious to guess who you are, but it won't be good.
The box is huge.
However, the soundproofing is very well done, and no other sound can be heard except for the wonderful piano sound.
After asking a few people what they were afraid of, Shen Shu left with a smile.
Zhou Yang took off his mask and hat, feeling a little stuffy.
To be honest, he didn't like the feeling of pretending to be everywhere he went, like the lepers of the last century.
"Mr. An...... My "Infernal Affairs", can I pass the review in general? ”
"It's generally no problem, but the situation in the department is very special recently, and the film department that shoots on Hong Kong Island is very strict, which means that the cooperation must be close, but there must be a detailed book like "Night Walker", and then there is a detailed shooting plan before it can be filmed, and there is no way to go through the back door for this matter...... It can only be said that it is reviewed in advance. An Xiao replied after hearing Zhou Yang's voice.
"Oh, I'll give it to you in two days." Zhou Yang nodded subconsciously after listening.
It's right to think about it, it is true that "Infernal Affairs" wants to invite some Hong Kong Island stars to the Hong Kong Island auction, and the situation of Hong Kong Island and mainland stars standing in line has just happened, and it is quite sensitive now.
"Hmm."
An Xiao nodded.
Then, the scene suddenly froze a little again.
The two don't seem to have anything to say, and it seems that there is nothing personal between the two except for talking about work.
"Mr. Zhou, let's put the script of your movie first, why don't you read my script first?" Guan Tong looked at the atmosphere a little inexplicably weird, and smiled.
"Oh, okay, Pipeline." Zhou Yang smiled and nodded.
Just as he was about to take over Guan Tong's script, he suddenly heard a noise at the door, and even the sound of dishes and chopsticks being smashed.
Followed by.
"They all bully me!"
"Two days ago, two days ago, I booked a box!"
"Why give it to someone else?"
"You're a bully to me, aren't you?"
"Woo woo, everyone is bullying me, all ......"
"Woooooo
"All of you are bullying me! It's not fair, it's not fair to me, it's not fair to us......"
