Chapter 1: A Dream?
"Is it a dream?"
In a cramped small rental house in Rongcheng, a somewhat unreal boy who looks unkempt but still makes people feel handsome wakes up from his bed.
"Just one night?"
Xu Ji looked at the time on his phone in disbelief.
He had a dream, or he was sure that everything that happened was not a dream, and it didn't make sense at all.
In the dream, he is not in Lanxing, nor is he Xu Ji, a recent graduate of the directing department of Rongcheng Film Academy, but in a place called Earth, living the life of the person with the same name as himself.
That Xu Ji went to junior high school and was unable to continue his studies because of family difficulties, so he ran out to work hard.
Because of some talent, he started as a sales singer, and then found that he couldn't make money, and he was introduced to the entertainment industry as a group performer.
However, the entertainment industry is not so easy to mix, even if Xu Ji is very good after honing his acting skills and learning, but because of his ordinary appearance and even a little rustic, he can't get ahead.
Screenwriting, editing, photography, props, Xu Ji can do anything as long as he gives money.
Although he is willing to learn, he can only eat and wear.
The turning point was still an opportunity given by an actor, which allowed Xu Ji to play a role that tested his acting skills very much, but had personal charm, and gained a certain popularity.
After that, Xu Ji worked harder than anyone else, and used those stars in the entertainment industry to spend all their time learning to perform and improve themselves.
But even so, Xu Ji's fame is still limited to the general appearance that some people remember, and he doesn't even know his name.
However, Xu Ji is also very satisfied, after all, at this point, at least his salary will no longer be as low as when he was a group performer, and the grade of the lunch box can also be compared with some of the leading actors in the crew.
It's kind of a mixed up.
Even when he was forty years old, he successfully won the Best Supporting Actor at a domestic film award, which can be regarded as the highlight of his life.
But after the award ceremony, the spring breeze was proud, and even when he received an invitation to the role of a first-line director in China, he suddenly suffered a car accident.
And then...... Then Xu Ji woke up.
At this time, Xu Ji is like watching a movie, although he can't be emotionally separated for a long time.
But after looking at the environment he was in, he could still clearly realize that he was not Xu Ji on that earth, but Xu Ji who had just graduated from the Rongcheng Film Academy on the Blue Star and was recruiting people everywhere to invest in his own films.
The only thing that was special was that he was able to remember his forty years on Earth at this time.
Even when I was a child, I could remember the details clearly when I went to steal sweet potatoes from the widow next door.
"It's huge."
The picture of Bai Huahua appeared in Xu Ji's mind, and then he quickly shook his head.
"! What do I remember here! ”
……
"Bang Bang Bang !!"
Before he could continue to think about it, he heard a knock at the door.
"Xu Ji, your rent this month ......"
The person knocking on the door was the landlord.
That's right, Xu Ji has been in this rental house for nearly three months after graduating from school.
During the period, he took the script he wrote to find someone to invest, but no one was willing to spend money to invest in him, a lonely and unknown newcomer director who had just graduated.
"Auntie, see if you can wait a while......
Xu Ji said with some embarrassment.
The landlord looked at the young man in front of him, and according to her temperament, he would definitely not agree.
But this young man is quite handsome, he shouldn't be like the rogue tenants he met in the past, after hesitating for a while, he finally relented: "I can only give you another month!" ”
Seeing the landlord leave, Xu Ji was also slightly relieved.
Without dwelling on his fantasy experience last night, Xu Ji came to his computer.
Skillfully opened a certain website.
"The 7th National Youth Micro Film Competition"
"Film Theme: College Entrance Examination"
"There are 16 days left until the public voting for the competition film......"
Xu Ji had already written a script and was full of confidence in it.
But the shooting cost of that micro-film needs at least 100,000 yuan.
He simply couldn't come up with the money.
If it is according to normal times, Xu Ji has already begun to go out to find investors at this time.
But today, after opening his script and reading it, he couldn't help frowning.
"This script ......"
"What rubbish!"
Even if Xu Ji wrote it himself, he couldn't help but comment.
With the traces of the fragments of life on Earth for forty years, even if it was just one night, it was no longer the same as before.
Dragged the script document directly into the recycle bin to delete it, and Xu Ji opened a new document.
"A micro-film with a small investment?"
"The theme is college entrance examination ......"
It took three minutes for Xu Ji to suddenly speak: "There is!" ”
"That's it!"
……
It only took more than ten minutes to write the new micro-film script, and it took half an hour to improve and revise some details.
The important thing is that the current script, Xu Ji can guarantee that it only needs to spend a maximum of a few hundred yuan to complete the shooting!
"Jingle Bell~"
The sound of a video call request on the computer rang.
Xu Ji looked at the name of the video call he made, and suddenly felt like a world away.
Because of the memories of forty years on the earth overnight, Xu Ji almost forgot that he also had a childhood sweetheart who grew up together.
"Xu Ji, what's the matter with you?"
"How dare you not answer my video for half a day?"
A young and beautiful girl appeared on the computer screen, although the other party was without makeup, but her face could still be described as perfect.
"I'm writing a script, it's good to be able to take it, you have a lot of requirements."
Xu Ji asked casually:
"What's wrong, big star?"
"Didn't you let you communicate with the outside world?"
Sha Yetong replied very happily: "Isn't this a few days off from the program team!" ”
"By the way, did you watch the show?"
"I'm already at 7th in terms of approval rating!"
"If you keep it up, you'll be able to make your debut then!"
Sha Yetong has had a dream of being a singer since he was a child, because he likes to sing.
Then after graduating from college, I really went to participate in the popular girl group program "Creation Camp Girl".
Of course, Xu Ji watched the show and voted for Sha Yetong, but at this time he still said: "Who has nothing to watch that, I'm busy, okay?" ”
"Hurry up and go and vote for me by the way!"
Sha Yetong's expression was fierce, clenching his fists and trying to threaten Xu Jidao.
Xu Ji pretended not to hear.
"By the way, while I'm on vacation, if you want to come to Shanghai, I'll take you to play for a few days."
Xu Ji refused without hesitation: "If you don't go, you will die poor." ”
Sha Yetong seemed to have expected Xu Ji to say this.
"The program team has sent the performance fee, sister, I have money now, and the expenses are all covered for you!"
After Xu Ji heard Sha Yetong's words, he said, "How embarrassing this is"
Sha Yetong said angrily: "Then don't come." ”
Xu Ji didn't answer, he had already lowered his head and looked at the plane flight with his mobile phone, and asked to himself:
"Do you think I'm going to buy tickets for tomorrow morning, or tonight?"
