In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

With thighs, this is considered to be in the circle!

Circles are strange things. When you are not in the circle, you will hate it and feel that it hinders you from shining. But when you become a member of the circle, you will unknowingly maintain the so-called circle culture...

The so-called circle culture is what a group of people admire, also called mainstream culture!

This is true whether it is in the literary circle, the film and television circle, or the pop music circle, with few exceptions...

So, if you want to show off your skills, the first prerequisite is to join the circle!

So how can I join the circle?

One is that someone recommends you, and your seniors lead you into the industry. This is the most common. In the past, film and television production was not very profitable, it was very hard, and your status was not very high...

An actor!

There may still be some amateur students here and there.

But basically, those who are already in the circle before entering school, and those who remain in the circle after four years of college.

Later, directing, photography, and drama majors also gradually joined...

It’s really just cute!

Another type is... a genius who sweeps the entire industry with a crushing attitude, and then... is absorbed into the circle and becomes a supporter of mainstream culture!

The most typical one is Han Han...

Shen Xudong thought he was the second type...

It's a pity that he is not even the first type...

I thought I was hugging my thigh, but it turned out that my thigh was lame on its own. In the first film, the producer took the money and ran away!

He really ran away, and it was a scandal. The actor ran away with the producer's wife, the producer ran away with the money, and the three of them went to the United States together and lived a happy life!

The only unlucky thing is probably the production company...

This kind of thing doesn't happen often. I can't think of any other adjectives besides saying "meeting someone unkindly"...

But this is just the beginning of Shen Xudong's unfortunate life!

The second drama is a Dangai drama, directly invested by the platform!

Let me see how your producer makes money?

That's right, the producer didn't make any money this time, and the filming went smoothly. Then, it wasn't allowed to be broadcast!

There were problems with two consecutive dramas, and I couldn't hold my thighs anymore. I immediately declared bankruptcy and stopped working in film and television...

Shen Xudong is reluctant to leave the colorful world of the entertainment industry!

To be honest, actresses in the entertainment industry are so easy to coax. Just a few words can make them pursue true love...

Think about it, these girls have no culture and live a happy life. They lack nothing but excitement!

They are the real bosses - I do things without considering the consequences!

Shen Xudong was depressed for a while, and he was depressed for two years. Two years later, when he regrouped and came up with three scripts for new actors to choose from, something happened to his thigh...

What's worse is that the thigh was still in trouble because of the cheating incident!

He was implicated!

Anyway, since then, Shen Xudong didn’t say that everyone shouted for beating, it can be considered that people are tired of dogs...

Fortunately, when he was desperate, at the age of thirty-five, a few brothers gave him a hand and asked him to become an actor!

Shen Xudong is more stylish, and when the uncle style became popular, a drama became popular!

He's not a particularly popular star, but it's okay to earn millions for a movie...

Then what did he do?

Of course, I formed a crew to film the script I wrote!

Yes, I eat soft food, I work as an actor, and I hug people's thighs, but I also have ideals!

Then...the subject matter failed to pass the review, and the money was wasted again...

It’s not over yet…

After turning into an actor, I got stuck in three dramas in a row...three dramas!

Really, the god of decline is possessed.

The film and television industry is very superstitious, and if you encounter a series of bad luck, then...

Who dares to use you?

…

Shen Xudong is a very strong person. Even though he has been hit by life for almost forty years, he still believes in himself!

He firmly believes that he is talented...

But he forgot one thing, it is very painful for people who are talented but not outstanding enough.

On the one hand, he is sure that he can do it, but on the other hand, he has to accept the fool of fate!

When he was 45 years old, he was preparing to make a movie. He raised funds from several brothers, completed the filming, passed the review, and was ready to be released...

Then…

The lead actor is in jail!

It completely crushed him!

He simply sold the property, returned the money to his brothers, and then left the capital...

Never heard from him again.

If someone was willing to film his deeds, it would probably be called "The Life of the Disliked Shen Xudong."

…

In September 2002, the place was the Department of Theater and Literature of China. The new semester started and I introduced myself. A young man who looked very much like Takuya Kimura came on stage and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Shen Xudong. I come from Anhui Province. My ideal is When writing scripts for Zhang Yimou and Brother Chen Kai, I think they just need a good screenwriter!"

There was silence for a while, and then the whole room burst into laughter!

Are you...are you serious?

"Don't you think their works lack logic? Let's talk about "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin". How did a weird and neurotic Qin Shihuang achieve the hegemony of unifying the six kingdoms? How can a sinister and timid person have the world in his heart? , created many great achievements! It is true that human characters are complex and full of contradictions, but if his personality and actions are split to a staggering degree...that's too bad! I feel that he is not writing about Qin Shihuang, But Caligula..."

Caligula was a Roman tyrant…

"Stop laughing!" Huang Ruoyao, the head teacher, was very grateful for the interest and asked him: "What if I ask you to write?"

"...I don't know, I haven't thought about it, that's why I'm here to learn!"

Shen Xudong is confident...

"OK…"

Teacher Huang said something: "Then come down... I thought you were from the acting department!"

"Teacher, you can't just look at people by their appearance. I have always felt that inner beauty is the truth!"

"I'll give you a few compliments... come down quickly, the next one..."

Then, a fat man with an unattractive appearance came on stage: "Hello everyone, my name is XX..."

Self-introduction continues…

Shen Xudong sat in the middle, watching these students take the stage...

This year's drama department can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Many of them were already famous before enrolling. For example, Qin Wen was the first prize winner in the New Concept Composition Competition.

Of course, this is only what Shen Xudong knows. There are many things he doesn’t know. This drama department is not only Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it is simply a gold-plated class: The fat man with an unattractive appearance just now, his uncle is the director of Changying, now introduce himself A wretched man wearing glasses, his uncle is the leader of Emei Factory...

In the whole class, the most innocent and clean person is Shen Xudong!

Not surprisingly, after four years of college, Shen Xudong will probably say goodbye to this circle...

Of course, he is the protagonist, so it is impossible not to have an accident.

One month after school started, one day at noon, while serving food in the cafeteria, he... fell and then fainted...

Let’s change it. I’m not used to having the surname Chen, so I’d better give it the surname Shen.
