Superstars Start with Krypton Gold

Time flies, autumn goes to winter, and it is already the middle of December in a blink of an eye.

During these nearly fifty days, Li Zian had a very deep understanding of what the words "busy as a dog" are.

Although he promised Han Jingwen that she would try not to ask for leave if she didn't ask for leave at the beginning, there are too many trivial matters in setting up the crew, and many things must be solved by him personally, such as the extremely important director team, photography team, and lighting in the crew. The formation of the team, as well as the interview of important supporting roles, everything is inseparable from him.

So during the nearly fifty days, Li Zian took nearly twenty days of leave in total, and this was because of Han Qian's help.

But in the end, his hard work paid off, and he managed to set up the crew successfully. All the preparations were ready, and the official start of the film was short of it.

In mid-November, the school leaders met and communicated with Li Zian, and learned about Li Zian's plan in detail. On the third day after the two parties met, the school conveniently gave a clear answer, and only charged a symbolic amount. A little fee gave him a lot of support, which moved Li Zian a little.

At the same time, during the past fifty days, Li Zian's krypton gold skill tree has also undergone considerable changes, and many skill tree branches have lit up.

Now Li Zian's skills are as follows:

[Craftsmanship level: singing skills, directing, editing, artistic quality]

[Working level: guitar, dance, sketch, photography, videography, screenwriting, performance, sound design, studio recording, studio lighting, prop design, team management]

【Apprentice level: ...】

During these fifty days, Li Zian accumulated his professional knowledge to a height that no one of his age could reach.

Originally, Li Zian thought that he only needed one director skill to be a director, but when he really upgraded the director to the craftsman level, he found that most of what he learned was some experience, and that feeling was like a castle in the sky. It looks tall, but it is actually extremely fragile inside, unable to withstand the slightest strength at all.

What is a director?

Directors cannot be taught. Directors are all self-taught. When you have figured out the functions of all departments on the set, and when there is a problem in any department, you can solve it with your own ability. At that time, you can Call it the word director.

When Li Zian understood the essence of being a director, he began to kryptonize other skills crazily. He kryptonized all the professional skills of the most basic departments on the set.

The moment he finally finished managing the team, he suddenly had a new understanding of the profession of director. The illusion of castles in the air disappeared and was replaced by an extremely solid and heavy feeling. The more he learned at the same time, the more he became Feeling insignificant, I developed a deep interest in the profession of director.

Of course, Li Zian spent a lot of money to climb the skill tree so quickly. In the past 50 days, after excluding the daily consumption of the krypton gold system, he also spent nearly 150w.

In addition, the cost of setting up the crew is also huge. In total, he spent nearly 250w during this period.

However, Li Zian can still afford the current expenses.

Huaxing Publishing House's manuscript fees for October and November have already arrived. His pre-tax manuscript fee in October was 5.3 million, and his manuscript fee in November was 7.6 million. Even after deducting the high manuscript tax, Li Zian's net income It is also around 12 million.

However, due to the large amount of expenditure, Li Zian's savings have never exceeded eight figures, and they have always been hovering around the figure of 9 million.

"A River of Sadness" sold nearly 15 million copies in the country in two months. From the beginning, it was only enough to supply first-tier cities in China, and now it has been spread in all cities in the country. Even now, the sales volume of this book is extremely high. considerable.

A few days ago, Zhou Ru from Huaxing Publishing House even flew over from Kyoto to discuss the next step of this book with Li Zian. Huaxing Publishing House plans to translate this book into multiple languages ​​in early 2021. Simultaneous sales.

For this book, Li Zian only authorized the Chinese copyright of Huaxing Publishing House, while the foreign language copyright is still in the hands of Li Zian.

However, Huaxing Publishing House was very sincere and took the initiative to increase the royalties of Li Zian's foreign language copyrights from the original 5% to 15%. The 15% royalties are already the royalties that can only be obtained by top domestic writers.

Li Zian was very satisfied with this royalty price, so he signed a foreign language copyright authorization contract with Zhou Ru, and agreed to the cooperation intention of Huaxing Publishing House.

It is worth mentioning that because the book "A River of Sadness" has aroused great repercussions nationwide, An Zimu successfully broke into the list when the fifth-tier star list was announced in November, and directly ranked In the 236th place, only 160 places away from Li Zian's 76th place, he has become a star writer who has been in the limelight for a while.

During these fifty days, Li Zian had a very fulfilling life, and at the same time, his whole person was growing rapidly.

The most intuitive manifestation is that in the personal temperament, the whole person becomes more stable, and a kind of dominance that can only be faintly produced in the body, although this kind of dominance is extremely weak, but this feeling is real. Among them, Wang Changhai, Li Zian's head teacher, touched me the most.

At this time, Li Zian and Wang Changhai were standing at the gate of the class on the campus. Li Zian was not wearing school uniforms, but wearing casual clothes, a black bomber jacket, overalls, and a pair of Martin boots, making him look special cool.

"Old Wang, I'll take Fang Chang and Zhao Yuqian away. We will have a dinner with the entire production crew in the evening, and we will officially start the film tomorrow. One of them is the lead actor and the other is the second male lead. We have to go and identify them." Li Zian whispered to Wang Changhai.

Wang Changhai nodded and said with a smile, "How about it, are you all ready?"

"Everything that can be thought of has been prepared, and the unexpected can only be prepared when you think of it." Li Zian shrugged and smiled: "I used to feel that studying was the most tiring, but now I realize that sitting in the classroom can be a peace of mind. Studying is really a happy thing, and I almost didn't exhaust me for more than a month."

"Hurry up, study can still tire you? You are not in school for half a month, but you can get into the top ten in every monthly exam. Do you know that you are hitting those hard-working students like this? Huh?" Wang Changhai scolded with a smile.

Li Zian chuckled: "Isn't this the teacher, you gave me a solid foundation in the past two years? I dare not take all the military medals."

Wang Changhai smiled and shook his head: "You, I am quite relieved, and I am also very relieved for Zhao Yuqian, but I am a little worried about Fang Chang. If he wants to be admitted to Huaxia University of Arts, he will have to work hard on the culture class. You and Zhao Yuqian usually keep an eye on him in the production crew, don't let him focus on filming and forget all his knowledge, then he will lose everything."

Li Zian nodded: "Old Wang, don't worry, I will watch him over this matter, and Sissy and I will not abandon the culture class."

Hearing this, Wang Changhai nodded slightly, and said nothing more. He stepped forward, knocked on the classroom door, gestured to the teacher who was in class, and then waved to Zhao Yuqian and Fang Chang.

Both Zhao Yuqian and Fang Chang knew what was going on, their schoolbags had already been packed, and they walked out of the classroom quickly under the eyes of the whole class.

After the two came out, Wang Changhai signaled to the teacher of the department again, and closed the door again.

"This is a note for the two of you. Since you have chosen the path of the art test, then you should film well, show some results, and go all out to sprint to the highest art school in the world. The teacher hopes that in the future, there will be more students under my hands." Come two big stars, come on!" Wang Changhai said encouragingly to the two.

Fang Chang and Zhao Yuqian were a little moved, and both of them responded very sincerely.

"Let's go..."

Li Zian nodded, and finally greeted Wang Changhai, then led Zhao Yuqian and Fang Chang away...
