Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

"You forgot, all the promises we made together,

Everyone loves without any certainty,

Don't think about where the sweet dreams are,

Still free and lonely on the lonely road,

…”

This was the third time the cell phone rang. A reluctant hand stretched out from the bed, grabbed the cell phone placed on the bedside table, and threw it out.

The Nokia mobile phone, which is said to be able to smash walnuts and use them as bricks, demonstrated its superiority in quality at this time. It bounced on the floor a few times and landed under the window sill, still singing stubbornly.

"You forget, all the sweet dreams

How long does it take to see the warm dawn after waking up from a dream?

…”

Yes, after waking up from the dream, whether it is warmth or indifference, you still have to face it calmly.

Although "We Are All People Returning at Night" is one of Zhou Cheng's favorite songs, no matter who has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, and finally falls asleep and is woken up, he will feel extremely irritable.

"Hey, who's there?" Zhou Cheng picked up the phone from under the window sill and asked impatiently.

"Brother Cheng, it's me, something happened to Xiaofang Linshan..." The hurried words on the other end of the phone were full of panic.

"Xiao Fang? Lin Shan?..." Zhou Cheng shook his head and repeated it again before slowly waking up. He remembered that he had traveled through time, and this Lin Shan was not the Lin Shan who was still lingering with him a few days ago, and this Lin Shan was

male.

Time travel has become a relatively fashionable topic in this era, filled with various literary works on the Internet. Even the film and television drama industry has gradually broken down barriers and begun to accept this theme.

Some traveled to the Qing Dynasty and became the women their brothers fought over, others traveled to the Ming Dynasty to become medical queens and concubines, and some even traveled to the Southern and Northern Dynasties to help clean up the names of emperors who had fainted...

As a second- and third-tier screenwriter, Zhou Cheng also began to prepare for such a theme. He and Zhang Yue, a second-tier director who also wandered around, adapted a popular novel and prepared to film a drama about traveling to the Tang Dynasty.

It has even reached the stage of attracting investment from Youtu.com to prepare the crew.

I just didn't expect that after waking up from a drinking party with investors, I found that I had unexpectedly traveled through time.

That’s not right, it seems that it’s not appropriate to call it time travel. It should be called rebirth or parallel world.

As a practitioner in the film and television industry, Zhou Cheng had just watched Marvel's latest movie "Doctor Strange 2" online before traveling through time.

In that movie, there is a Doctor Strange in each parallel universe, but they make different choices when facing enemies or setbacks, and their final life trajectories are also different.

This kind of creativity inspired Zhou Cheng, who is a screenwriter (although he has few works), to have a similar idea. But he didn't expect that he would experience it himself before he started writing the script.

When he woke up, Zhou Cheng found that he had come to this parallel world, which was more than ten years earlier than his original world and was just in 2007.

The personal experience was far more impactful than the movie footage. It was so great that Zhou Chengyi couldn't accept it for a while, so he locked himself in his room and didn't go out for a whole day and night.

It was like playing a movie in Zhou Cheng's mind, reviewing all the things that happened to his other self in this world. Finally, he slowly accepted the fact that he had traveled through time, and accepted that he had traveled through time to this familiar and familiar place.

Facts about a strange world.

The reason for familiarity is that this world is still the same as the last one, with China, the Soviet Union, the United States, Japan, Britain, France and other countries. China is still the splendid civilization with five thousand years of history, from strength to weakness and then to gradually...

A nation of great rejuvenation.

All the historical trajectories in this world are still moving forward as in the other world. There are also Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Xiangjiang is also recovered by China from Britain in 1997.

I am still the same Zhou Cheng, who graduated from Yanjing Film Academy in 2006 with a major in Drama, Film and Television Literature from the Department of Literature. Still because of his average appearance, introverted personality, and poor communication with others, in Nortel, a place full of handsome guys and beauties, he was still in trouble until graduation.

He is a loner and a loser.

My family has not changed, it is still the same family of four.

My parents have not changed, one is a civil servant and the other is a teacher.

My sister has not changed. She is still the same sharp-tongued lawyer who is five years older than me and enjoys bullying her. By the way, at this time, she had just received her doctorate in law and was promoted from a fourth-level lawyer to a third-level lawyer. In the eyes of her parents, she

pride.

Even the house I woke up in was the same old community where I lived until 2010 when it was demolished.

What makes Zhou Cheng feel strange is that many people and things in this world have changed, especially the entertainment industry that Zhou Cheng is familiar with.

Take the song "Everyone Returns at Night" for example. The singer is not Xu Meijing from Singapore, but a singer named Xu Qianqian from Wanwan. Although her voice is so similar to Xu Meijing, it is obviously

Not the same person.

The famous "10% in two weeks" in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong has become "10% in a week". The once classic "Shanghai on the Bund" has disappeared. The leading role of Xiao Ma in "A Better Tomorrow" has also been changed. Even "Crouching Tiger"

Li Mubai in "Hidden Dragon" has also been replaced by Liang Jiahui, who once starred in "New Dragon Inn".

The same is true in the mainland entertainment industry. Many familiar actors and stars have disappeared, and they have been replaced by another group of people. Similar acting skills, different appearances, and different personalities have also restored the support of the film and television industry.

Most of these are circles that Zhou Cheng has not yet come into contact with. Zhou Cheng believes that as he slowly adapts, he will be able to gradually distinguish the differences between the two worlds. What really made Zhou Cheng spend nearly a day to distinguish is about the things around him.

The memories of these people.

For example, the school girls Lin Shan and Su Qianwei that he originally coveted have disappeared. Zhou Yang, Jiang Yan and others from the acting department at the same level have also changed their appearance. Even Li Danni has lost the turbulence in her previous life and has become a smooth and mediocre person.

Nothing surprising.

Hu Tong, the roommate he was more familiar with, disappeared, and a boy named Li Yan appeared. Except for their different names and appearances, his and Hu Tong's experiences were surprisingly the same.

Zhou Cheng, who was originally the good-looking person in the Department of Literature at Nortel, had a crush on the beautiful girl Chu Ran in the same dormitory. In this life, he actually turned into a tall and thick boy, and he and Zhou Cheng became close friends. The two often played together and played together.

Clubbing together, flirting with girls, even taking a bath together, and basking in the sun together, Zhou Cheng got goosebumps all over his body just thinking about it.

Of course, the transformation here is more about Zhou Zhou becoming himself.

After graduating from another world, Zhou Cheng followed his father's arrangements and first entered Yanjing TV Station as an intern. After becoming a full-time employee, he jumped to CCTV to work as a film and television director.

Until 2013, the old man retired early.

Affected, Zhou Cheng saw no future in the TV station. After persisting for three years, he returned to his old job as a film and television screenwriter in 2016. Although he did not have much literary talent, he relied on the old man's past connections and his own Bei

A graduate of the Department of Electronic Literature, he has become a second-rate screenwriter whose works have been released from time to time.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng also believed that if he continued to hang out in the industry, when he was in his fifties or sixties, he might be able to use his qualifications to join the Writers Association or the Film and Television Association and become a director.

In comparison, Zhou Cheng in this world seems to be more rebellious and has his own ideas.

On the eve of graduation, Zhou Cheng of this world had to choose a completely different path even if he had a falling out with his father, and became an agent in the entertainment industry.

After more than a year of struggle, Zhou Cheng still only has one artist at his disposal, Lin Shan, whom he just mentioned on the phone, a similarly unpopular singer.
