Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 13: Are the circles really different?

However, as everyone was chatting, they originally wanted to talk about Huang Jingyuan, but ended up bringing him up instead. Xia Yuan frowned and was unhappy.

You guys can chat, what does it have to do with me? You drag me into this again.

But it was normal. As soon as he saw the classmate who @ him, even though he was just an acquaintance with his classmates, he knew that the classmate was the one who hung out with Huang Jingyuan all day long. When he was still in the dormitory, he often went to their dormitory to play with his roommates.

As for what the conflict between Xia Yuan and Huang Jingyuan was, it wasn't that complicated.

From Xia Yuan's point of view, the main reason is that they are in different circles, and then there is some friction.

This had nothing to do with Xia Yuan. It wasn't that he didn't want to build a good relationship with his roommate. After all, they were all classmates in the next few years. They would see each other every day. And didn't they say that the relationship between roommates was the most solid?

But since Xia Yuan met them, everyone was still able to joke and chat happily at first, until the first night when they went out for drinks, after everyone had some exchanges and got to know each other better, everyone's attitude towards Xia Yuan suddenly took a turn for the worse.

From that day on, Xia Yuan vaguely felt that these roommates had a cold attitude towards him.

That kind of coldness is not deliberate. After all, when you greet people normally, they will nod and say "Hello too" in response.

This is a feeling, a coldness that you can feel, a matter of posture.

Usually when we get together, we always talk about which high-end restaurant in Xinhai has the best food.

Or maybe they're talking about their new car, how much their new watch cost, a piece of equipment they've recently taken a fancy to and are planning to buy, or they're planning on when to go on a team trip to Europe during the summer vacation.

There were many topics that Xia Yuan couldn't get a word in at all.

Forget about going to Europe. He can hardly spare 500 yuan to go to the "New Wenlanzhou Foot Massage" in the university town.

Then, on weekdays, they would take it for granted to make some small requests to Xia Yuan.

For example, when you go downstairs, please come back to help bring some food, turn off the lights when you go to bed, please clean the dormitory, etc.

That’s not a big deal, Xia Yuan usually agrees.

But the problem is that Xia Yuan gradually discovered that it seemed that he was the only one doing these things, and they had never done them before. Another problem was the tone and attitude.

"Xia Yuan, please turn off the lights later. You are closer."

And: "Go, turn off the light."

There is still a big difference between the two.

In addition, Xia Yuan discovered that he was the only one doing these things, while his roommates didn't do any of them at all, and they seemed to feel at ease every time they let him do them.

As time went by, Xia Yuan simply stopped taking their words seriously and turned a deaf ear to them.

Are you spoiled? You are a giant baby? You can't even sweep or mop the floor? Your roommate is your living ancestor? You let your roommate do everything?

Then Xia Yuan figured out this kind of vague exclusion later. It was probably not exclusion, but the two sides belonged to two different groups, and there was a natural barrier that was difficult to break through.

They were inside the barrier, while Xia Yuan was outside.

It's like two magnets with opposite poles that repel each other and can never melt together.

If the story ended here, there would not be the need for Xia Yuan to move out later, or like now, at most they would have no intersection, and there would be no intersection at all.

The key turning point lies in the graduation project.

The graduation project of the directing department is to shoot a micro-film, and students are allowed to cooperate with each other and work together on the selection of materials and projects.

At that time, all students who participate in a graduation project will be regarded as the same work.

Then, Xia Yuan was also preparing for his graduation project, but his choice and considerations were very simple. He planned to come up with his own topic.

There was no other way. He was not very familiar with his classmates to begin with, and he was also not familiar with his roommate. The total amount of words they spoke and communicated during their four years in college did not exceed a hundred sentences, so he naturally had no choice but to do it alone.

But at this time, Huang Jingyuan came to the door.

He expressed his idea and hoped to work with Xia Yuan to do a graduation project together. Xia Yuan thought about Huang Jingyuan's idea for a while and found it feasible.

After all, the graduation project is quite difficult, and there are a lot of things to do, so having one more person can make it faster. Although there is not much communication on weekdays, Xia Yuan thought about it and added Huang Jingyuan's name.

From then on, whenever Xia Yuan went out to collect materials, write books, or plan plans, he would give a copy to Huang Jingyuan and assign him some tasks.

After all, the subject matter was his idea, so he would naturally be the first to be the main creator.

But soon Xia Yuan found out that it was not the case. What are you doing here, brother? Are you here to play?
Huang Jingyuan can't say that he has made no contribution at all, but it can only be said that it is a side effect.

Every time Xia Yuan had new progress or a task for Huang Jingyuan, Huang Jingyuan's phone either ran out of battery or he didn't hear it.

Then, I would go back to the dormitory once or twice, and every time I would run into this bastard, either flirting with girls or having fun outside. In his circle of friends, he would either post about where he went to a bar today or where he went to check in and take photos with girls tomorrow.

I didn't pay any attention to my graduation project and didn't do anything about it.

Xia Yuan had kindly reminded him several times, but got no response. Huang Jingyuan would only reply impatiently, "I know," and wait for him to find time.

Until it was almost completed, Xia Yuan worked on this graduation project alone.

But unfortunately, once you submit your graduation project, the names will be there and you can’t delete them because they have already been entered into the system.

Therefore, Xia Yuan could only accept this result with a pinch of his nose.

He also went to find Huang Jingyuan about this matter and scolded him without giving him any face.

Huang Jingyuan's reply was also quite unpleasant, and he said bluntly: "Don't you really look at yourself? Do you think you can handle this circle? If you go out, won't you still be destined to film short dramas and wedding dresses? To be honest, if you were more sensible from the beginning, we brothers would have taken you out to play. Who will recognize you after you get out of this door? You don't even have the qualifications to talk to us, can you understand? Stupid!"

That is to say, since that day, the relationship has been completely broken.

That's what happened.

Huang Jingyuan is second in his major?
His real strength is a shitty second place, and that's what he got from him.

But I have to say it, although Huang Jingyuan's words are quite harsh, you have to admit that what he said is true to a certain extent.

It hasn't been long since Huang Jingyuan entered the film and television industry in July.

This is a truly established and prestigious company in the industry. It has produced countless hit films, all of which are collaborations with top superstars, and its investments are also top-notch.

Huang Jingyuan now goes straight in and becomes the assistant director.

But what about Xia Yuan? Even if he was better than Huang Jingyuan in terms of major, what would it be of any use? It was purely an accident that he met the senior sister. It was also thanks to the introduction of a few good friends, and the senior sister thought highly of him.

Otherwise, he really couldn't say for sure what his future would be like.

In short, this also reflects the current status of the domestic entertainment industry to a certain extent.

Xia Yuan once had the goal of changing this industry.

But after reading it for so long, he began to doubt himself.

Can he really do it? Can he really change the industry?
Later on, his goal was narrowed down to just having enough to eat.

The future is uncertain, all we can say is.

But now everything was different, and he had some adventures of his own.

Xia Yuan looked at the boiling news in the group and silently sent a photo.

Crew photos.

Xia Yuan: "Sorry, I was filming just now and didn't have time to check the group."

(I wrote this out of inspiration, with some real experiences and some minor changes. The author is actually from the Central Academy of Drama, so he can be considered an insider in the industry. The barriers to entry in this circle are quite serious, and the environment of domestic entertainment is very poor.)
