Chapter 623 Zhu Yi is actually myself

"Mr. Zhang Che, you are so lucky. Our boss just came back yesterday. If you had come a few days earlier, you would not have been able to see our boss!"

In the conference room, a young man with a gentle appearance and slightly small eyes wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses sat on a chair.

He looked reserved, slightly hunched over, and looked a little unnatural when facing the receptionist.

He took a glass of water, said thank you, took a sip, and then asked:

"Did Mr. Cheng just come back from Taipei?"

"Yes, I just finished filming the meal challenge with Jay Chou.", the receptionist responded.

"Oh~" Zhang Che nodded, remained silent for a while, and then said, "That is indeed quite a coincidence."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Che did not initiate another topic.

When the receptionist saw this, he said calmly:

"Mr. Zhang Che, please wait a moment. Our boss is expected to arrive soon. As soon as he has time, I will inform him that you are here."

Zhang Test: "Okay, thank you~"

"Well, then I'll get busy~"

After saying that, the receptionist closed the door of the conference room and left Zhang Che alone in the conference room.

Looking at the closed door, Zhang Che let out a sigh of relief.

He is a little nervous!

He knew that he had just arrived in an unfamiliar place and should talk to the reception staff more.

Not only can you get familiar with the company's ecology, but you can also receive people and build good relationships with them.

It was obvious that the receptionist was eager to communicate with him.

If you talk well, you might be able to reveal to him some things to note during the interview, which will increase the possibility of the interview.

But Zhang Che did not do this.

He knows a lot of things, but he just doesn't want to implement them.

It doesn't matter if you say you're lazy or if you say you're bored.

He was deliberately avoiding it, and he felt tired.

He is a creator at heart and wants to create his own things quietly in an environment without interruption, away from the interpersonal relationships that bore him.

But three years after graduation, he discovered that dealing with interpersonal relationships is inevitable. There is no creative environment without interruption. Even directors, writers, singers, composers, etc., are still disturbed by factors other than creation.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and people living in this world are destined to be entangled in these things.

This may be the reason why three years after he graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, he has still accomplished nothing and has no works of his own.

It was obvious that as long as he took a step forward, bravely dug into the camp, and climbed up, he would have a chance by virtue of his status as a graduate of a prestigious school, but he just didn't want to.

After taking another sip of water, Zhang Che opened the briefcase he carried with him and took out a manuscript from it.

The manuscript is very well preserved and very complete, as if it had just been printed. It is extremely new. There is no indentation on it, and there is no bend in any of the four corners.

You can imagine how much Zhang Che treasures it.

Zhang Che placed the cowhide bag on the table, placed the manuscript on the cowhide bag, and waited quietly for Cheng Yi's arrival.

About ten minutes later, the entire company became restless.

Even though there was a door, even in the conference room, Zhang Che felt the tremor.

A moment ago, the company was just a dead thing without a soul. At this moment, the company suddenly gained a soul and came back to life as a living entity.

Zhang Che judged that Cheng Yi was back.

Only the founder of a company can have such centripetal force!

After a few minutes, the entire company returned to calm, as if the restlessness and enthusiasm just now were all an illusion.

After another ten minutes, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

This was the first time Zhang Che saw Cheng Yi in reality.

Cheng Yi stood outside the door wearing casual and fashionable clothes, young and high-spirited.

The receptionist opened the door and said: "Mr. Cheng, this is Mr. Zhang Che who wants to see you."

Zhang Che stood up in a hurry, walked to the door, stretched out his hands to greet Cheng Yi:

"Hello, Mr. Cheng, I am Zhang Chai!"

"Uh-huh."

Cheng Yi nodded and walked into the conference room.

The receptionist closed the door for them and left silently.

Cheng Yi shook Zhang Che's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang, please sit down first!"

"Hey hey hey~"

Zhang Che faced Cheng Yi and stepped back to the seat. He waited until Cheng Yi walked behind the desk and sat down before he sat down.

After sitting down, Zhang Che looked at Cheng Yi opposite him and couldn't help but sigh:

Young, this is really too young.

Especially when you associate those titles and reputations with the young man in front of you, you can realize just how dazzling his youth is.

He is not 50 years old, not 40 years old, nor 30 years old, but 20 years old!

I started from scratch at the age of 20 and am worth more than one billion. I am known as the godfather of Internet celebrities and a benchmark in the field of self-media. What a legendary experience is this?!

Looking back at his life, Zhang Che felt endless shame.

Cheng Yi spoke slowly and said:

"I read the information. Mr. Zhang should have graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, right? Majored in directing? Why don't you try to work in the film and television industry, but want to make short videos?"

Zhang Che lowered his head and thought deeply. After a long while, he asked:

"Mr. Cheng, do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said:

“Listen to lies first, then listen to truth.

The virtual and the real are mixed with each other, who can tell them apart?

Perhaps the lies contain part of your true thoughts, and the truth also contains parts that you conceal.

Tell me, I'm very interested."

In just a few words, Cheng Yi showed Zhang Che his charm.

Zhang Che also smiled, relaxed and said:

"The lie is that I think in this era, everyone who picks up a mobile phone can become a director.

Mr. Cheng, I have actually watched many of your interviews and videos, and I think your views are very correct!

Internet celebrities are actually celebrities in the Internet age. How to realize their own value in the Internet age is not much different from that in the real age and in the non-virtual space.

The quality of an Internet celebrity or the quality of a short video does not depend on the person himself, but on what kind of Internet celebrity he wants to be and what kind of short video he chooses to make.

A gentleman uses his weapon, not for his own sake. In this era, short videos are squeezing out long videos, and short videos are the most powerful.

Jia Zhangke's movies are very deep and thoughtful, but the audience is only so small! How many people have seen it?

There are many audiences for short videos, and everyone likes short videos.

I can express my attitude, convey my thoughts, guide the audience to be kind, spread valuable things, and promote positive energy in short videos. Maybe it is a way that is more easily accepted by the audience?

Compared with long and convoluted movies, it can be absorbed by the audience subtly."

When Zhang Che was talking, Cheng Yi kept nodding. When he finished, Cheng Yi smiled and said:

"This is quite true, but what about the truth?"

Zhang Che showed a sly smile and said:

"The truth is, I admire Jia Zhangke very much.

I also long to be like these directors on the stage, who can bring a mature work, a feature film full of my own personal emotions and the thoughts I want to convey, to meet the audience.

However, the current creative environment for short videos is very tempting. Short videos can make money quickly and become famous quickly.

Before ideals and bread, I want to have bread first and then talk about ideals. In the future, I may still make movies, but not now. I am not ready yet."

"Then this one is even more true!" Cheng Yi smiled from ear to ear.

He is worthy of being a test director who can create "Zhu Yiyi" in the future. Chatting with him is indeed quite interesting.

Cheng Yi pointed to the manuscript in front of Zhang Ji and asked: "Is this the short video copy you wrote?"

"That's right!" Zhang Che said.

"Can I take a look?" Cheng Yi asked!

Zhang Che patted his head and regretted his clumsiness. He quickly handed it over and said shyly:

"Mr. Cheng, I'm really embarrassed to show it in front of you. There are a lot of childish or self-deprecating things in it. Please feel free to criticize it."

"It's not that exaggerated, criticism doesn't count~" Cheng Yi waved his hand and looked down.

On the manuscript, there is a huge title that reads:

The story of a rich man.

After a long time, Cheng Yi raised his head again and asked incredulously:

“You—this story is based on me?”

"Yes." Zhang Che nodded and admitted.

Cheng Yi:???

Good guy!

Zhu Yi is actually myself?!
