The California sunshine and enthusiasm in early August remained the same. At this moment, Linna felt no warmth. Amid her boyfriend's questioning scream, he understood how embarrassed he was when he was heard by the person involved.

The white girl turned her head mechanically and looked at the young man standing behind her. She was staring at her with a smile on her face.

"Miss, believe me, the nonsense that vampire said is not necessarily the truth."

Wayne did not make things difficult for the couple. He was simply attracted by the girl's voice. When he looked at the white girl with a shame, he knew that the other party might have a good education, so he did not continue to tease the couple, leaving a sentence, shook his head and walked towards the entrance of the auditorium.

The only film critic Roger Albert is still insisting on picking the problem of "The Walker" in the media. What is the purpose of privately? Just think about the other party's relationship with Disney, and you will understand.

When several people disappeared at the entrance of the auditorium, the girl reacted and stomped her feet with some annoyance. Instead, she looked interested on her face. Without saying a word, she pulled the other person in her boyfriend's surprised gaze and walked straight to the entrance of the auditorium.

"Hey, you said you didn't want to listen..." the boy asked in surprise as he walked, "Why now?"

"I changed my attention."

When the two of them walked through the door of the auditorium and came in, they found that there were already people. This speech was basically equivalent to semi-open and open. As long as students related to the media were allowed to come in and listen at will, there were no spaces at all.

There were not only two of them without seats, but also some scattered students who came late. Fortunately, some people were maintaining order. Although there were all kinds of "buzzing" chats in the auditorium, there was no chaotic scene.

"Let's go ahead." The boy took his girlfriend's hand and came to the second row not far from the stage. He leaned on the side of the seat, leaving enough room to walk back and forth.

While waiting, the talk that came into Lina's ears was almost all related to the great director she just met outside the auditorium. In the mouths of this group of students from the School of Film and Television and Arts, Wayne's evaluation was completely different from what she had learned before.

People were discussing his films, discussing the wealth he created, and there were even two girls, chattering about guessing his skills in rolling the sheets.

Today, the protagonist did not let the students wait for a long time. After about ten minutes, several people walked out of the right side of the stage of the small auditorium. Lina, who led the lead, knew Professor Anderson Horowitz, who had a very high reputation in the school. She had seen her just now outside.

"oh my god! It's George Lucas!"

"God, I didn't expect that they were really friends. I thought the previous reports were all fabricated by the media."

There was a row of seats on one side of the auditorium. When the Star Wars heard the students' exclamations, he waved his hand friendly to the stage and sat aside with a smile on his face.

After exclaiming, everyone focused on the center of the stage, where only a slightly stronger figure was left.

In fact, most of the students who can come here have known Wayne's background. He is called the best graduate of the University of Southern California in the 1990s. His success trajectory is a dreamy one, and in the eyes of many people, he is a legend.

The frequency of hearing this name is quite high. Now the real person stands in front of him, which arouses the curiosity of countless students. Although the big boy standing in the center of the stage is wearing a calm black suit, it is quite different from the big Hollywood director they imagined.

When people lift the director who holds the rights of the entire crew, the first thing they think of in their minds is either the ruthless temper with a big beard or the thin figure, full of artistic atmosphere.

But Wayne was completely different. If it weren't for the decent black suit, he would be like a sunny boy who loves sports. He was probably between 185 and 188 and had a strong figure. His brown hair was shaved into a round inch, and his facial lines were sunny and tough, and he could hardly see any Jewish characteristics.

Without the host's introduction to the show, and without any preparation, he directly raised the microphone in his hand and said hello to the crowds in the audience.

"Hello, I was thinking about how to introduce myself so that you can get your attention back from the old man who created Star Wars. Now it seems that my charm is pretty good, isn't it?"

He knew that the group of college students in the audience could be said to choose art-related majors, and they all had certain personalities. In addition, they admired freedom here, so there was no need to be serious about the speech, and no one wanted to listen to a peer who kept talking about the big truth.

"Yes, you're very cool."

"Wayne, I love you."

Several unrestrained girls heard his teasing, raised their hands to put their mouths in a trumpet shape, and screamed at the beginning of the stage.

Shrugging exaggeratedly, Wayne continued, "Hey, girls, you will make me the public enemy of all boys. Well, according to the past practice, I should talk to you about dreams, or how to succeed, but unfortunately, this is destined to disappoint my teacher. I am not going to say those illusory things."

In fact, Wayne really didn't prepare the manuscript. Since he was invited by the professor to teach these students some experience, he was not going to talk about the chicken soup in the eyes of others. Instead, he wanted to talk about the real Hollywood. As for whether these students can listen, it was not his concern.

Slowly walking from the middle of the podium to the edge, Wayne clearly looked at the moving faces. The whole auditorium was not only full, but also stood a few people, all staring at his movements curiously.

As hundreds of people watched, they began to walk along the edge of the podium, and said to the microphone: "In recent years, many people have called me a genius, and many people have asked me the secret to success. I can share it with you. The secret is to listen to the teacher."

Speaking of this, he blinked at the audience, raised a hand and pointed it at Professor Anderson Horowitz. There was a burst of applause immediately, and everyone understood that he was thanking the professor for his teachings.

After the applause, the small auditorium returned to quiet again. Wayne suddenly put away the smile on his face, tightened his muscles, and said seriously: "Don't think I'm joking. Listening to the teacher is very important. As we all know, my shooting style is definitely not mainstream. In four years of college life, the professor has warned me more than once that movies must serve the public first. Only when they have gained recognition from more people can they have the opportunity to play the so-called art.

I think Professor Anderson Horowitz must have said similar things to you. Remembering these words will definitely be of great benefit to students who want to dive into Hollywood in the future. In the eyes of many people, movies are like creating a sweet dream. This job is full of artistic atmosphere. What I want to tell you is to throw away this kind of shit-like idea.

Many people have heard of my experience, and I want to share it with you here. Perhaps some of you can get some inspiration from it. If you can recognize the real Hollywood from it, you will find your place in this circle, and maybe you may find your place."

When he said this, everyone's attention was immediately highly concentrated. The story of Wayne's just graduated was seen everywhere in South China University of Science and other places, but most of them were guessing. And the majority of people who came here today were to listen to him personally telling his struggle experience.

No one doesn't want to be Wayne Greenberg second, and as long as he is a student at the School of Film and Arts at USC, he wants to replicate his career.

"When I was in the third grade, I had already started to prepare for the first step in filming the feature film "Happy Death Day"." While he was talking, he suddenly found that in the last row of the crowd, two classmates actually set up cameras. They were not the old-fashioned film camera, but the DV that the notebook was promoting.

But he didn't care at all, and even smiled at the students who were filming and continued to say to the microphone: "Maybe according to normal people's ideas, I should go to those famous Hollywood film companies and take scripts that I think are unique to sell my dreams.

But contrary to what you imagined, I have long recognized my position and never tried this process. Some of you must have the same idea now. Believe me, even if you are a well-known genius, you want the production company to spend millions of dollars on you just by relying on something like a script, and the chance is infinitely close to zero.

Just because I have never had similar fantasies, the initial effort was to find ways to prove my abilities to the outside world. This is very important, otherwise it would be an unsolvable cycle for newcomers who have just entered Hollywood. Of course, I am quite lucky to prove my abilities because another old farmer named Greenberg paid for my first step of the movie.”

He mentioned his father without hesitation, and even had obvious pride on his face, which also caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

"I believe many people will think that the reason why you succeed is not because of the support of a rich father? I will tell you clearly, yes, I took the first step by relying on having a good father. But the point is not here, but opportunity, yes, opportunity! I want to tell you that when an opportunity appears in front of you, you must make sure that you are ready to seize it!

Everyone will get opportunities of all sizes, and before that, all you have to do is to learn everything related to it and wait patiently for it to appear. Of course, what I prefer is to strive for yourself, but no matter what, you must have the ability to seize opportunities first, otherwise, the final one will eventually be failure."
