July 7th,
An ordinary day, an ordinary sunrise, and of course, an ordinary job...
Qin Sheng has been working in the editing room for more than a week. During this period, he turned down the invitation from "Actors Please Take Place" and said he would go next week. Director Li Qiang agreed very generously because anyone with eyes could see Qin Sheng's recent actions.
This guy is really ready to plunge into the film industry, and he is not looking back. According to outside rumors, he even risked all his belongings...
In this regard, Li Qiang could only describe Qin Sheng as impulsive.
He was young once too. Who didn’t have a dream when they were young?
Who hasn’t wished to be the one in the spotlight?
But the reality is cruel. Most of the people who have great ambitions and think that they will eventually be surrounded by the spotlight will eventually be blunted by life, hide quietly under the stage, and become the cheerleaders they hated the most.
That's how Li Qiang is...
"After all, I'm too young, and my life has been too smooth."
Li Qiang sighed deeply, his emotions were somewhat complicated. He felt pity and sympathy for Qin Sheng, but more of it was an indescribable emotion - a faint sadness.
This film, to which he poured all his energy, could be a crucial turning point in Qin Sheng's career. If it fails, he might never recover and fade out of the public eye.
If you succeed...
"I still hope you can succeed."
In the darkness, the slightly bloated and old Li Qiang left a sigh like smoke.
Although he felt that Qin Sheng was unlikely to continue his unstoppable legend in the television industry,
but,
Nothing is final yet, so no one can say for sure.
…
On July 8th, more than a month had passed since the initial trailer of "Benjamin Button" was released, and netizens who were attracted by the fresh creativity could not help but gushed in the comments section of Jiaoyue Studio.
"What do you mean? It's been over a month since the primary trailer was released, and there's still no release date?"
"Keeping me in suspense?"
"Fishing confirmed."
"Qin Sheng, please hurry up."
"If it doesn't come out soon, I'm going to tear up the movie?"
Of course, in addition to the eager audiences who are looking forward to it, there are also critical voices from within the circle. Most of these people are second-rate film critics who just want to stand at the center of the storm and attract more attention.
Occasionally, a few well-known film critics stand up and criticize loudly. These people probably have had more or less interactions with Zhang Jizhong in the past, so they have a very bad impression of Qin Sheng. On some social software, they say that they are objectively evaluating the initial trailer, but the entire article is full of subjective conjecture and slander.
"From a film perspective, Qin Sheng's creative rejuvenating personality isn't outdated, but similar settings are already familiar in fairy tales and ghost stories. So, without even dwelling on the ending, you know it's bound to be sentimental, with the hero and heroine bound to die in the end, in order to draw tears from the audience.
We say that truly good films should bring spiritual strength to the audience, or awaken them, or make them uplifting, or bring them sunshine. However, some films that are only made to make the audience cry and attract attention are, in a sense, fast food, the dregs of the times..."
This was a big shot who had jumped from CCTV to a private enterprise. Because of his somewhat influential background, he was very trusted by the public. However, it was precisely because of this that his remarks caused great damage to Qin Sheng's early arrangements.
Originally, "Benjamin Button" firmly occupied the second place in the Chinese film preview list. After this statement was made, it was immediately dragged down to seventh place and its popularity dropped significantly.
However, this incident did not seem to affect Qin Sheng at all. He was just immersed in his own world, like an ingenious tailor, stringing one fragment after another closely together.
Wei Shaoyan originally wanted to talk to Qin Sheng about the recent trends, but seeing how invested he was, he thought about it and decided to take it on himself.
Oh, Qin Sheng, I really have to bear the pressure that I shouldn’t have to bear in my position!
You must strive to be brave...
…
July 12,
At noon, with the sun shining brightly, Qin Sheng suddenly called Wei Shaoyan back to Jiaoyue Studio, and without waiting for Wei Shaoyan to ask, he went up to the balcony room on the fourth floor.
This...what's so inexplicably profound about it?
Wei Shaoyan felt that Qin Sheng's mood seemed to be a little off. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that Qin Sheng must have been more or less affected by the outside world's voices recently, which was why he was depressed. So he pondered for a while about the words of comfort and followed him to the rooftop.
After their last expansion, Bright Moon Studios moved into a small three-story office building, but only the first, second, and third floors were used regularly. The fourth-floor balcony was poorly maintained, with wild grass growing here and there in the corners. Qin Sheng stood on the left side of the balcony, gazing calmly into the distance, his eyes flickering with a hint of melancholy and sadness...
Well, that's what literary youths are like. They can be profound from time to time. It's better to be uncultured. They can show their emotions on their faces. It's so good. It's so simple.
Complaining in his heart, Wei Shaoyan walked forward, put his hand on Qin Sheng's shoulder and pressed it hard to show his comfort.
"Qin Sheng, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Actually..."
"Saoyan, look outside, do you know what that is?"
Qin Sheng suddenly raised his hand and pointed into the distant horizon.
"ah?"
Wei Shaoyan opened his mouth and looked outside in the direction of his finger.
