In a small, cramped rental house in Chengdu, a boy who, although he looked slovenly, still looked unrealistically handsome, woke up from the bed.
"Just spent one night?"
Xu Ji looked at the time on his phone in disbelief.
He had a dream, or at this time he was sure that everything that happened was not a dream, and there was no way to explain it.
In the dream, he was not at Blue Star, nor was he Xu Ji, a newly graduated student from the Directing Department of Chengdu Film Academy, but in a place called Earth, living the life of a person with the same name as himself.
When Xu Ji went to junior high school, he was unable to continue his studies due to family difficulties, so he ran out to work hard.
Because of my talent, I started out as a singer, but then I found that I couldn't make any money, so I was introduced to the entertainment industry as a group performer.
However, the entertainment industry is not so easy to get around. Even though Xu Ji's acting skills were honed and learned, he was very good, but because of his ordinary appearance and even a bit rustic, he could not get ahead.
Screenwriting, editing, photography, props, Xu Ji can do anything as long as he is given money.
Although he is willing to learn, he still can only make ends meet.
The turning point came when an actor gave him an opportunity, allowing Xu Ji to take on a role that tested his acting skills but also had personal charm, and he gained a certain degree of popularity.
After that, Xu Ji worked harder than anyone else, using those entertainment stars to spend their time learning acting and improving themselves.
But even so, Xu Ji's fame is still limited to being remembered by some people for his appearance, and he doesn't even know his name.
But Xu Ji is also very satisfied. After all, at this point, at least his salary is no longer as low as it was when he was an extra, and the quality of his lunch box can be compared with that of some of the leading actors in the crew.
It can be considered as a person.
Even when he was forty years old, he successfully won the Best Supporting Actor at a domestic film award, which can be regarded as the highlight of his life.
But just after the award ceremony, when I was so proud that I even received a role invitation from a leading domestic director, I suddenly encountered a car accident.
Then...then Xu Ji woke up.
At this time, Xu Ji was like watching a movie, although he couldn't get away emotionally for a long time.
But looking at the environment I am in, I can still clearly realize that I am not a trace on the earth, but a trace on Blue Star who just graduated from the Chengdu Film Academy and went around recruiting people to invest in my own movies.
The only thing that is special is that he can remember clearly his forty years of experience on earth.
Even when I was a child, I could clearly remember the details of stealing sweet potatoes from Widow Wang’s house next door.
"So big."
The image of white flowers appeared in Xu Ji's mind, and he quickly shook his head.
"Fuck! What am I remembering here!"
……
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Before Xu Ji could think any more, he heard a knock at the door.
"Xu Ji, your rent this month..."
The person knocking on the door is the landlord.
That's right, Xu Ji stayed in this rental house for nearly three months after graduating from school.
During this period, I took the script I wrote to find people to invest, but no one was willing to spend money to invest in him, an unknown new director who had just graduated.
"Auntie, see if you can wait a little longer..."
Xu Ji said in embarrassment.
The landlord looked at the young man in front of her. Based on her character, she would definitely not agree.
But this young man was quite handsome, and he probably didn’t look like the rogue tenants he had encountered before. After hesitating for a while, he finally relaxed: "I can only grant you one more month of grace!" p>
Seeing the landlord leave, Xu Ji was slightly relieved.
Without dwelling on his fantasy experience last night, Xu Ji came to his computer.
Opened a certain website skillfully.
"The 7th National Youth Micro Film Competition"
"Video theme: College Entrance Examination"
"There are still 16 days until the public voting of the competition film..."
Xu Ji had already written a script and was full of confidence in it.
But the shooting cost of that micro-movie was at least 100,000.
He simply can't come up with the money.
If it were normal, Xu Ji would have already started to go out to find investors.
But today, after he opened his script and read it, he couldn't help but frown.
"This script..."
"What rubbish!"
Even though Xu Ji wrote it himself, he still couldn't help but comment.
With traces of the memory fragments of those forty years of life on earth, even if it was just for one night, he was already different from the one before.
Dragging the script document directly into the recycle bin and deleting it, Xu Ji opened a new document.
"A micro-movie with a small investment?"
"The theme is the college entrance examination..."
After three minutes, Xu Ji suddenly said: "Yes!"
"That's it!"
……
It only took Xu Ji more than ten minutes to write the new micro-film script, and it took half an hour to perfect and revise some details.
The important thing is that for the current script, Xu Ji can guarantee that it only costs a few hundred yuan at most to complete the filming!
"Dingling bell~"
The video call request sound on the computer rang.
Xu Ji looked at the name of the person who made the video call to him, and suddenly felt like he was in another world.
Because he had forty more memories of the earth overnight, Xu Ji almost forgot that he had a childhood friend who he grew up with.
"Xu Ji, what's the matter with you?"
"How dare you not answer my video for a long time?"
A young and beautiful girl appeared on the computer screen. Although she had no makeup, her face could still be described as perfect.
"I'm writing a script. It would be great if I can accept it. You have quite a lot to ask for."
Xu Ji asked casually:
"What's wrong, big star?"
"Aren't you not allowed to contact the outside world?"
Sha Yetong replied very happily: "Isn't this a few days' holiday given by the program team?"
"By the way, have you watched the show?"
"My approval rating has reached seventh place!"
"If you continue to keep up, you will be able to debut by then!"
Sha Yetong has always had a dream of becoming a singer because she liked singing since she was a child.
Then after graduating from college, I actually went to participate in the popular girl group show "Creation Camp Girls".
Of course Xu Ji watched the show and voted for Sha Yetong, but at this time he still said: "Who has nothing to watch? I'm very busy, okay?"
"Hurry and go see it and vote for me by the way!"
Sha Yetong looked fierce, clenching his fists and trying to threaten Xu Jidao.
Xu Ji pretended not to hear.
"By the way, while I'm on vacation, do you want to come to Shanghai? I'll take you to play for a few days."
Xu Ji refused without hesitation: "If you don't go, you will die of poverty."
Sha Yetong seemed to have expected Xu Ji to say this.
"The program team paid the performance fee. Sister, I have money now, and the expenses are all covered by you!"
After Xu Ji heard what Sha Yetong said, he said: "This is so embarrassing."
Sha Yetong said angrily: "Then don't come."
Xu Ji did not answer the call. He had already lowered his head and looked at the flight schedule on his mobile phone, while asking himself:
"Do you think I should buy a ticket for tomorrow morning or tonight?"
