The music started, and Mai Fan danced the simplest dance practice in his memory.
Compared with the head-bobbing of XJ compatriots when he first came here, he can already perform a dance very smoothly.
Mist grass.
This agility bonus seems to be much stronger than intelligence.
It should be a base chassis issue.
Just like the conversion of intelligence, IQ is used as the bonus point.
And in terms of agility.
If it is still calculated in terms of basic human qualities.
In the past, Mai Fan's agility could defeat 70% of humans...
So now, after a data increase of a few 0.0, his proportion in human big data has increased to at least 75%.
Now, not to mention he is comparable to an athlete, at least he can adapt to the rhythm of a person who often practices dance.
After trying this, Mai Fan felt completely at ease.
Early the next morning, he cleaned himself up, put on the most unassuming clothes of a villain in this world, took his car keys and went out.
His goal is very clear.
Go straight to the art district where decadence and high spirits, passion and decline are intertwined.
Next to the small river in that suburb, in a residential area composed of abandoned factories and private houses, there are many people waiting for opportunities.
Some of them are students who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, some are group performers looking for opportunities in major studios, and some... are just like the people Mai Fan is looking for now... a group of people who want to realize their lofty artistic pursuits and don't want to face reality.
Someone who compromises easily.
In the mouths of outsiders, they have extremely nice names: small-budget film directors and art film directors.
Only they themselves know that, as they don’t have any fame, those names are just placed on their own heads... just for the comfort they want.
What these people lack is not only opportunities, they also lack a crucial factor for a movie to be launched...money.
Now, the reason why Mai Fan can hang out here is because he has money.
…
"You don't ask for box office returns?"
Mai Fan: "Is your film sure to be a box office hit?"
…
"You still don't want any pay?"
…
"You can't even afford to rent the filming location, how can you still pay me the salary?"
…
"Are you in charge of the crew's food and drink? Are you bringing money into the crew?"
Mai Fan looked at the bearded director in front of him and rubbed his face helplessly: "Director Cheng, look at where you live, and look at the team behind you."
"I said I need all the conditions mentioned above, but if you have the money, can you use me?"
Director Cheng looked at Mai Fan's face carefully and shook his head: "No! You are so handsome! You have a face from a commercial film, but you still want to get involved in art."
Really, if he hadn't asked this person to take a photo, with Mai Fan's temper, he would have walked away right away.
But it doesn't matter, he is a person with artistic pursuits, and he treats such a purely literary director...
Of course I have to kill him with money!
Copper stink attack!
Mai Fan directly threw out Wang Zha: "Director, I heard that you have a book in your hand called The Romance of Spring."
"I'm very interested in being the leading actor in your film. Hey, hey, don't wave your hands yet. I've decided to invest in this film..."
Mai Fanbi held out five fingers, and Director Cheng exhaled two hot breaths from his excited nostrils: "Five hundred thousand? Then I have to think about it. I am a person who will never bow to reality for the artistic pursuit in my heart!"
Mai Fan raised his lips: "No! It's five million!"
…
Director Cheng: "Deal! You are my unique leading actor!"
Okay, he knew this was the result.
Mai Fan came prepared, and his subsequent conversation with Director Cheng got straight to the point.
"Director, to be honest, I accidentally heard a friend mention that you had such a shooting book in your hand, so I came here to find it."
"Don't think of me as a good-for-nothing benefactor."
"I really value your talent as a director. I think the film prepared by Director Cheng is very good, so I plan to invest in it."
"Do you know why I dare to spend so much money? Who doesn't have a dream of becoming famous?"
"I also want to transform from an unknown new actor into a dazzling film and television star."
"So, you are the professional when it comes to making movies."
"In addition to normal discussions about the characters in the movie, I will never interfere with the director's decisions in other aspects."
"Director, I really admire your talent, and I really sincerely want to make a movie with you."
These words brought tears to Director Cheng's eyes.
The awkwardness I had just now because I had to bow my head to money all disappeared because of these words.
What a good young man,
He must have suffered a lot on his way to becoming famous.
Look at his appearance...it's really not suitable for the path he wants to pursue.
You tell me, why does a young talent who can sign a serious contract with a film and television company have to get involved with art-house filmmakers like them who have no reward?
But it doesn't matter. For other art films, maybe Mai Fan's appearance is too eye-catching.
But for this film in his hands... it couldn't be more suitable.
What is this film about?
It tells a poignant love story between a male educated youth who went to the countryside and a young female senior official after returning home.
A temporary worker who was ostracized by his family, because of an accidental heroic rescue of a beautiful woman, sparked the spark of love between him and a high-ranking woman.
It's a pity that the fire of love burns brightly and extinguishes quickly.
Because of many contradictions in reality and huge differences in life philosophy, this pair of young people who only love each other eventually parted ways.
The film reflected many social realities at the time and included many touching scenes that were beautiful but failed to pass the review.
When Director Cheng took this script around to solicit investment, the reasons for rejection were basically the same: Your audience is too small. Who would watch movies from that era these days?
You can't do this. Our country's requirements for scale are too strict. If you can't even go to theaters, how can you show it?
No, no, you can't even pass the radio and television censorship. You're going to be relegated to the ranks of banned film directors and there's still hope of a comeback. Then won't all the money I invested be in vain?
It is basically impossible for Director Cheng to direct independently.
But if his film is invested in major film and television companies, it can be included in the award-winning projects of major film and television companies every year.
Then he has to hand over all his rights to direct, select actors, and revise the script.
Director Cheng is unwilling to give up hope until the end of the road.
It was at this time that Mai Fan burst in like a dazed young man, with the fearless aura of a new movie star, and helped him realize his dream of many years.
"You don't need to say anything! The leading actor in this film is you!"
"Mai Fan! You don't have to thank me, as long as you can make this movie happy for me!"
"Whether I am down or out in the future, I will always thank you!"
