I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

And there is another possibility.

Pursuing a higher degree does not necessarily require exceptional talent; rather, it requires perseverance in academic pursuits. Soon, Bi Dao himself also felt that he was 'good at taking exams'.

It's like someone who's great at practical work, but when it comes to writing a thesis, they're a complete failure.

Or perhaps it's the other way around, like Bi Dao, who gets 100 points in writing papers but -100 points in practical skills.

Bi Dao's "comeback story" has prompted many people to trace its origins.

It turns out that these highly educated people didn't rely on their families or their wives' or fathers-in-law.

It was something he actually achieved through the exam.

Director Bi is quite clear-headed.

He later accepted the fact that his debut work was a failure.

He stopped stubbornly defending his work.

At the 2019 Golden Broom Awards ceremony, he admitted, "I haven't even entered the door yet, and I overestimated myself."

His film was rated as the worst Chinese-language film of the past decade, and Director Bi personally went to the ceremony to accept the award.

Having let go of his obsession with being a fraud, Director Bi began writing film reviews on Weibo.

Whether long or short, they always manage to ride the wave of current trends in the film and television industry.

While Bi Dao may not be skilled at making movies, his consistent output of film reviews makes him an absolutely outstanding individual.

Some people even became his fans.

He received not only insults and ridicule, but also more and more blessings: "Director Bi, keep going."

At this moment, Bi Dao probably also felt the joy of standing in the center of the stage and was genuinely encouraged and supported by some people.

At this moment, he seemed to have a kind of 'awakening': black and red are still red.

Therefore, he went on TV shows to complain about himself, making self-deprecating jokes, and even participated in the variety show "Director, Please Advise". He was not unaware of his role; he knew that he was just a clown for people to laugh at.

But he likes and enjoys the feeling of being in the spotlight. He can talk about his film dreams in front of the camera, even if he may not be suited for the industry at all, at least as a director.

Cheng Sheng can summarize Bi Dao's life experience in one sentence: A small-town test-taker who failed to define himself, but through sheer perseverance, he achieved his dream to a certain extent.

"Cheng Sheng, is that Bi Dao really no good?"

Da Tiantian was still unwilling to give up, after all, if she had invested in Bi Dao's movie, she would definitely have been the female lead.

"If you're not afraid of falling into this sinkhole, then do as you please."

Anyway, he'd already warned her. If Da Tian Tian still wanted to invest, there was nothing Cheng Sheng could do.

"Okay, I got it. I'll have my uncle refuse him right away."

After Da Tiantian finished speaking, she took out her phone and called the road administration.

"Sweetie, you still have your good points."

Seeing that Da Tian Tian had ended the call, Cheng Sheng smiled and said.

"Really? What are my strengths?" Da Tian Tian exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this.

Cheng Sheng's lips twitched upon hearing this. Did she really think he was praising her?
"Your strengths are clear, listen to my advice."

Upon hearing this, Da Tiantian proudly raised her face: "I've always listened to advice, and no one can fool me."

"By the way, Sweetie, my company's screenwriter just wrote a script. Do you want to invest? It's a blockbuster, and the investment is only 500 million." Cheng Sheng said with a smile.

"No problem, I'll definitely vote, it's just five... wait, how many do you want?"

When Da Tian Tian heard that Cheng Sheng's company wanted to invest in a new movie, she waved her hand without hesitation and said yes.

But then she realized what was happening and stared at Cheng Sheng in utter shock.

One hundred million, two hundred million, maybe she could agree to that directly.

But five hundred million is too much!

“That’s right! It only costs 500 million. If you invest 1 billion, you’ll be the female lead in this blockbuster,” Cheng Sheng said with a straight face.

"One billion!" Da Tiantian exclaimed.

Even Hollywood blockbusters might not need this much in terms of budget.

The highest budget for a domestically produced blockbuster these days is only two or three hundred million yuan. A billion-yuan investment? What kind of film is this?
Da Tiantian didn't suspect that Cheng Sheng was lying to her; instead, her first thought was what the movie would be like.

puff!

Haha!

Seeing Da Tian Tian thinking so seriously, Cheng Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

"You lied to me?" When Da Tiantian saw Cheng Sheng's teasing expression and his laughing, she instantly realized that she had been tricked.

"Didn't you say no one could fool you?"

Cheng Shengshen added insult to injury by criticizing what Da Tiantian had just said.

This made Da Tiantian feel terrible.

"Cheng Sheng, I consider you a friend, but you're playing a prank on me," Da Tian Tian said with displeasure.

"Do you know what it means to hear the truth, even if it's hard to swallow? I only tell you the truth because we're friends," Cheng Sheng said.

"Anyway, I'm not happy."

"I'm angry," Da Tian Tian said.

"My company has plans for next year. We have about three movies and a few TV series that will be approved. I'll give you a leading role then. Are you not angry anymore?" Cheng Sheng coaxed.

Cheng Sheng didn't lie to Da Tian Tian about this; Xing Aina had already mentioned next year's plans to him, but they hadn't been made public yet.

With so many projects but so few artists in the company, they'll have to hold open auditions for actors anyway. It would be better to give one to Jing Tian.

"Really!" Da Tiantian's expression changed drastically, as if the sun had come out after a storm.

"I don't lie."

"That's great, thank you, Cheng Sheng."

Upon hearing that she could play the female lead, Da Tian Tian was overjoyed.

If this weren't the principal's office, and I wasn't afraid someone would come in at any moment, Da Tiantian would have already jumped into Cheng Sheng's arms.

at the same time.

The company entrance is glittering with stars.

Director Bi looked at the Starlight Brilliant Company staff who had brought him out with a completely bewildered expression.

Wasn't he having a good talk with President Lu just now?
Why did the situation completely change after just one phone call?

Not only did they lose their investment, but their tone was also incredibly rude; they wouldn't even offer to offer me a cup of tea.

He planned to keep fooling around for a while longer so he could freeload a meal or something.

"Son of a bitch."

Looking at the Starlight Brilliant Company staff standing motionless at the door, Director Bi cursed under his breath and turned to leave.

Since they won't keep me here, I'll just go find investment elsewhere.

Bi Dao's "never give up" spirit is undeniable; he is not the kind of person who gives up after just one setback.

He plans to visit other companies to see if there are any opportunities.

The second investment company that Bi Dao found was Huayi.

Upon hearing that Director Bi was a talented student from the Beijing Film Academy, the two CEOs from Huayi came to his door with the script, seeking investment.

The two kings of Huayi are always very happy.

Because Wang Jinhua left Huayi with a large group of people, and Huayi was in dire need of talent at that time, they naturally accepted the investment from talented individuals.

Moreover, both the Wangs had heard of Director Bi before; he was a representative figure who had left the Beijing Film Academy.

Even people from the Beijing Film Academy said that Bi Dao's talent was comparable to Cheng Sheng's.

Of course, few people believe this.

But it also made many people realize that even if Bi Dao is not as good as Cheng Sheng, his talent in film and television is definitely not bad, otherwise so many people would not have spoken up for him.

Therefore, when the two Wangs heard that he had brought a script to submit, they practically rushed to welcome him. (End of Chapter)
