After discussing our idea with Pei Xiaoxing, our roommates still didn’t understand it, so we explained our idea to them.
They immediately became happy, "Does that mean we already have internship opportunities when we're only sophomores?"
"Yes."
"We are only sophomores and we can already film, or be assistants on set?"
"Yes."
Whenever they had free time, they would ask in disbelief, and Pei Xiaoxing and I could only answer them patiently.
Finally, I have to tell them, "Don't be too happy about things that are still uncertain. If the script is not good, we still have to continue to study in school."
When they heard what we said, they didn't feel unhappy. Instead, they said happily that it was okay. If it was possible, it was a gift from society. If it wasn't possible, they would just be following their original life trajectory.
What I admire most about them is that they are content with what they have.
After I participated in the provincial competition, I contacted the director and asked him to send me the script. If the script was good, I could participate.
Who knew the director would actually start hesitating? I think I understand what he means.
"Have you already decided on the other actors?"
The director immediately denied it, "No, no, how could I choose other actors? If you are not the one to play this role, I don't want anyone else. It's just that the crew has started filming, and now they have encountered some financial problems, so they may not be able to start filming as originally planned."
Funding issues? Good thing you have one!
I almost stood up and clapped my hands. This director is capable and he really speaks his mind when there is something to say.
"Director, let's do this. Show me the script first. If the script is good enough, I will help you solve the funding problem."
This made the director very happy. He sent me the script as soon as he hung up the phone that day. A few of my roommates and I read it together and thought it was pretty good.
The second child said, "We are not professionals either. How about we show it to the former eldest child? After all, hasn't she changed her major to study directing? If it doesn't work, we can ask her teachers to give it a look."
This time, I became the fifth child from the fourth child. After Pei Xiaoxing reunited with our former eldest child, they had a very pleasant chat and I took the initiative to suggest that she come back to take the order of seniority.
So, I, the youngest, stepped back one position.
The boss really has connections. Ever since she changed her major, all the teachers who taught her praised her talent. Several teachers valued her very much. She can just take this script and ask them.
The results came out very quickly. Her teachers all said that the script was very good. They also asked us if we could let her learn from the director for a period of time. There was no need to arrange any position for her. She could just follow and learn. The main purpose was to accumulate some social practice experience.
Pei Xiaoxing and I looked at each other. Of course there was no problem with this. After all, we were about to become the director's saviors.
We made another dinner appointment with the director and asked him the reason for his lack of funds.
He got very angry when talking about this. He said that the original investor wanted to insert his mistress to play my role, but he disagreed at all and felt that having the mistress play the role would ruin the character.
As a result, he directly angered the investor, who said that if his lover was not given the role, he would withdraw his investment.
The director was also stubborn and told him to withdraw directly, and also warned people not to think that he would not be able to continue filming his TV show just because he withdrew his investment.
Didn’t this offend the investors? Not only did they withdraw their investment, but they also told their friends that the director had bad morals and asked them not to invest in his dramas.
In business matters, who knows whether it is due to bad morals or other reasons? Different people have different opinions. No one would offend a "friend" in the business circle who is developing well for a movie that is not sure whether it will be popular or not.
So after such a long time, the drama has not started filming yet, and many of the actors who had been found have run away.
"Director, you should have said so earlier. I noticed that a large part of the characters in your drama are about their youth. Those old people in the entertainment industry are all old, right?"
"That's right, instead of asking them to pretend to be young or girly, why not interview them directly at our school? It will also give our students a chance, right?"
The more we talked, the brighter the director's eyes became, and he made the decision right in front of us, "Okay, I'll have my employees come with me to interview the actors tomorrow."
Then we expressed that we wanted to squeeze a few people in, but they didn’t need to play any important positions. There were no suitable roles for them, so just one or two would be enough.
Our attitude was not too forceful and we left room for maneuver in our words. We did not push for any important role, so the director agreed right away.
As for our boss wanting to learn with the group, the director just waved his hand and said that it was no big deal, and his cheerful attitude seemed like he wanted to put us on a pedestal.
In the end, he not only paid for the meal, but also asked us if we had any other requests.
We all think that this director is truly genuine and lovely.
Finally, Pei Xiaoxing and I called my mother directly to discuss cooperation.
The mother on the other end of the phone chuckled, "Xingxing, just do whatever you want. Do you never check your card? With the pocket money I've given you over the years, it wouldn't be a problem for you to invest in a drama, or even become the owner of the entire crew."
For her, money is not an issue. The most important thing is that her daughter is willing to go out and gain experience. This is a form of growing up.
