Respawn Entertainment

Chen Lin was reborn and returned to 1997, the eve of his college graduation.

Well, he didn’t know what happened. He lived well in 13 years. He just drank a few more drinks at the company’s New Year’s Day celebration party and found himself lying on the floor of the university dormitory when he woke up in the morning.

When he woke up, there was still a strong smell of alcohol on his body. He remembered that today was graduation day and everyone had to go their separate ways, so last night the whole class had a party in the bar. He got drunk and was confused.

.

Chen Lin had mixed feelings at the moment. He had been away for 17 years after graduation, and now he was back at school. Seeing the familiar tables, chairs, benches, and familiar faces made him sigh.

What did you do after graduation? Past experiences suddenly replayed in your mind.

By the way, one week before graduation, he participated in the recruitment of interns at Mango Channel. The whole school only recruited two people. I don't know if it was because of the smoke in the ancestral graves that he was one of them.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. I worked in the TV station for a year. I felt frustrated and resigned and went to an advertising company in Guang*zhou. After the advertising company closed down, I have been fooling around in Guang*zhou. After that, my business was not going well and I was losing money. I was banned from setting up a street stall by the government.

The ax was confiscated, and after a few years of hard work, I worked in a factory. All my dreams of living an honest life were shattered.

He has made many wrong choices in his life. What he regrets most is that he should not have left the TV station. If he had not left at the beginning, he would have been able to be a small leader after more than 10 years, and then he would have been able to make some unspoken rules and so on.

When I think about my past experiences, I feel like I was a failure. I was too young, outspoken, and unwilling to flatter others. I couldn't adapt to the atmosphere of the TV station. I always felt that it was unfair that my talents were not appreciated. I saw some classmates going to big cities to make a fortune.

I quit my job as soon as I got hot-headed.

When I entered the society, I realized that it doesn’t matter if I don’t have money. How difficult it is to work alone. The chance of success in starting a business from scratch is getting lower and lower. Just a mortgage has shattered the passion of many young people to start a business.

Chen Lin witnessed with his own eyes that in the next 10 years or so, college students will be unemployed after graduation, and their salary will be worse than that of migrant workers; house prices will rise to 30,000 per square meter; social classes will solidify, and various interest groups will gradually form; there will be rich second generations snatching your business,

The second generation of officials will steal your girlfriend; ordinary people who want to change their destiny through knowledge will pay a higher price...

"Fortunately, God has been kind to me, and I'm back again, haha..." Chen Lin threw away all the unhappiness in the past and felt happy in his heart.

Chen Lin sat on the bed, lit a cigarette and thought about his advantages.

There is no hope for lottery tickets. The ghost can still remember the lottery tickets from more than 10 years ago. There is no hope for buying stocks. He bought stocks once in his previous life and got stuck. He has never touched this thing again since then.

Copying popular songs, come on, I can’t read music, and I can’t remember all the lyrics of many songs, so what if I remember a few songs? How much can you sell a song these days? It’s not reliable to make a fortune from this.

I know a lot about movies and TV shows that will be popular in the future, but having seen them doesn’t mean I can write the scripts. How can you go to a film company to promote them without a script?

Hey, when others are reborn, they can buy lottery tickets, buy stocks, and get systems as gifts. Why don’t I have anything? Am I still a waste after being reborn?

Stupid, stupid, stupid! Chen Lin slapped his head and laughed, laughing at himself: "I am so stupid that I have information for the next 10 years in my head. This is my biggest capital. I can't write songs, I can't write

The script doesn't matter, I know which songs will be popular, which TV movies will be big hits, and which stars will be popular. If you can't develop in this life, then you are really a waste, and you will die in a headlong collision."

"I have decided that I will use Mango Channel as a starting point to do something big in the entertainment industry. I also want to be an unspoken female star. If I can't be a rich second generation, I will be the father of a rich second generation, haha..." Chen Lin stood

Get up and laugh.

"Fuck, Xiao Linzi, what are you screaming about so early in the morning? Don't disturb the uncle's sleep."

The laughter woke up the people in the dormitory. Chen stuck out his tongue, suppressed his laughter and ran to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

In the morning, the entire campus was shrouded in heavy fog, and the surrounding scenery was faint and looming.

Several cleaners were sweeping away the fallen leaves, and men and women in small groups sat together in the shade of the trees, rubbing their temples together. At this time, most of the students were still under the covers and refused to get up.

Chen Lin walked into the dormitory carrying several cups of soy milk, "Everyone, get up and drink soy milk! I'm treating you, you're welcome!"

The strong aroma of beans made several best friends in the dormitory sit up on the bed.

"Oh, our baby Lin woke up so early. Is this breakfast? I haven't had breakfast in a long time. It smells so delicious!" Guo Bin, who usually loves to be funny, poked his head out of the quilt and sniffed, soy milk.

The fragrance made him intoxicated.

"Comrade Xiao Lin is worthy of praise. He has made progress in his thinking." Zhang Meng, the squad leader, was sitting on the bed and half lying down, and also joked.

Looking at these unforgettable faces, Chen Lin couldn't help but feel dazed for a while, and the experiences of several old classmates flashed in his mind.

Gao Qiang, a big fat guy, whose drawers are always filled with all kinds of medicines. This guy is usually not very gregarious and rarely participates in group activities. However, he has a good relationship with Chen Lin and often brings delicious food from home to feed his brothers.

Good taste.

Brother Wen, the most handsome sunny boy in the dormitory, joined a mobile company and became a manager 10 years later. Many years later, he started a family with a girl in his class. People can't help but sigh at the wonder of fate.

The class monitor, Brother Meng, returned to his hometown and became a civil servant. He was just like his old classmate. Look at his awakening. How many people could have predicted the popularity of civil servants in the future?

Monkey Guo Bin is very business-minded. He opened a photography shop in school when he was a sophomore, and started driving a car a few years later.

It feels shameful to say that compared to them, Chen Lin had the worst life, so much so that he was afraid of losing face and making excuses not to attend several class reunions. Over time, the relationship with his old classmates became less and less in contact.

"Brother Meng, when are you leaving?" Abin gulped down the soy milk and turned to ask the squad leader.

"The train is at 6 o'clock tonight."

"Leave so soon!"

"Brother Meng, I'm going with you. I'm going home too!" Chen Lin, who had come back to his senses, hurriedly took over the words.

"Lin Zi, what are you going to do when you go to work at a TV station in a few days?" the monitor asked in confusion.

"I still have a few days to go to work, so I'm not in a hurry. I haven't been home for a long time, so I'll take advantage of this free time to go home and take a look," Chen Lin explained.

There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. I finally graduated and saw everyone going their separate ways. The dormitory became quiet and everyone stopped talking.

Dormitory building, library, bar, foot of Yuelu Mountain, Martyrs Park, Aiwan Pavilion...

how many years later

When I get older, I will still spend my free time in the afternoon

Remember your smile

Sweet, young, and as bright as the sun.

If I were to go to college again, I would still miss classes and drink.

Graduation, goodbye to my alma mater! Goodbye to my fellow students! Goodbye to my teachers! Goodbye to my old classmates! Chen Lin waved goodbye to his alma mater and dragged his luggage on his way home.

The feeling of being close to home is even more timid. The fig tree in front of my house is far away, and a familiar figure in the distance is washing vegetables by the pond in front of my house.

"Mom, I'm back." Chen Lin ran across the distance.

"You kid, why are you back?"

"I miss my mom. Where is dad?"

"Your dad is at home and you haven't eaten yet. Mom will prepare something delicious for you."

When the mother saw her son coming back, although she was nagging, she was very happy and pulled Chen Lin back home.

"Dad, your son is back." As soon as the mother finished speaking, a man of about 50 years old walked out of the house, wearing a gray tunic suit, with white hair clearly visible on his head. This was Chen Lin, an honest man.

's father.

In my memory, although my father had no education, he couldn't even write his own name, and he had no communication with him. He even had many bad habits. He liked to drink, and he liked to quarrel with his mother when he was drunk. When he was a child, his mother got angry several times.

He returned to his parents' home, but his father never fought with his mother, never scolded him, or hit him. When he was in elementary school, his father always rode his bicycle to school every day, rain or shine.

"dad!"

"I'm home!"

A simple sentence ended the conversation between father and son.

The day in the countryside passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, every house turned on the lights. Chen Lin lay on the bed and stared at the lights above his head in a daze.

In 1997, Mango Channel was newly launched on satellite and lacked hosts, directors, planners and producers. The previous generation Chen Lin enthusiastically participated in the station's internal application, but was rejected in the first round. That failed experience

Make him depressed.

Will what awaits me in this life be another failure? No, I will definitely succeed. A strong sense of self-confidence surges from the bottom of my heart. Yes, anyone who has more memories of the next 10 years will be a hundred times more confident!!

Calm! Calm! After a while of random thoughts, Chen Lin fell into sleep...
