Star Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 2 Dismissal

What's for dinner for future "artists"?

Answer: Roast eggplant, lettuce with garlic, stir-fried potato sticks, radish stew, staple rice, plus tomato and egg soup...

Seeing the above menu, some people definitely think that it is better not to time-travel... The level of this dinner is not as good as the school cafeteria, it is completely at the level of box lunch.

There is no way, these dishes look homely, and the ingredients are also very common, but that is in the 21st century, what time is it now?It is the age of the universe.You know, since human beings were forcibly taken away from the earth by aliens, these animals and plants native to the earth have become rare species, and the number of plantings is relatively much less than the total number of humans in the entire galaxy.

Rare things are more expensive, and the dishes made of such rare materials are naturally not cheap. The price of these dishes is more expensive than abalone, ginseng, and belly in the history of the universe, and it is a top-notch enjoyment.

If in ancient times, eating a cantaloupe and lychee was an imperial enjoyment, in the cosmic calendar, a boxed lunch at the level of ten yuan was also a top-notch meal.No matter what era you say, no matter how ordinary this box lunch is, it is better than the nutritional supplements given to ordinary workers like Gu Jingchuan, but seeing that their meals are so ordinary, Gu Jingchuan is more psychologically balanced...

He quickly paid the bill, loaded the incubator with meals onto the pickup truck, and then rushed back to the set like the wind.

The crew that Gu Jingchuan is currently working on is a movie crew, and the name of the movie is "Ruoru's Confession".If you only listened to the name and the posture of Mary Su, you would have thought that this movie was made of a youth idol drama, but Gu Jingchuan, who has been working on the crew since the start of the film, knows through this month's observation that this movie is clearly about a group of four. A hexagonal love story of 50-year-old middle-aged men and women with various derailments and confusion.

Brain-dead, chaotic, insane, incomprehensible, completely illogical... This is Gu Jingchuan's full description of this movie.

If it is in the 21st century, such a chaotic, hysterical, meaningless movie, the only advantage is that it exceeds the imagination of all mankind, even if it is cast by a superstar, it cannot save the box office that is doomed to fail.

Investors are not fools either, they would never let such a bad movie be shot just by reading the script, and various awards around the world would never allow this kind of bad movie that doesn't know the so-called to mix in.Even in the cosmic history of fully pursuing "art films", such works that cannot be called "art" at all have absolutely no chance of winning awards.

You can’t win awards, you can’t make money, and you can only be scolded when it’s released. Not to mention the audience, even sharp film critics will never appreciate it. Such a film project should be hit bottom from the very beginning. Invincible.However, such a piece of trashy stuff was approved and filmed swaggeringly, which made people stunned.

At the beginning, Gu Jingchuan was also very surprised how the film project was started. Later, he heard some gossips from some staff members and assistants in the crew, and then he figured out some of the secrets in it.

The filming unit of this film is a national film company, so there is no need to recruit investors for filming, and the national financial department will pay for it.In such a film company, the film project approval does not consider whether it is profitable at all. As long as the screenwriters and directors with very senior qualifications in the company apply for project approval, they will most likely be approved.

The screenwriter, director, and actors of this film are all established employees of the film company. They are employees who can get a salary regardless of whether they work or not. The promotion in the company is also related to whether the works they shoot win awards. It doesn't matter if it doesn't sell well, it's all about qualifications, so no one cares whether the film is rubbish or not.The bad thing is that the state pays the bill, even if the filming is sent to the garbage dump, it won't even be screened, and it won't affect them at all.

The director mixed the filming, and the actors mixed the acting. Each of them relied on their own age and seniority, and did not take others seriously. This is the ethos of the National Film Company.It is no wonder that the National Film Company has become less and less effective over the years, and fewer and fewer works can be released, so it is.

How well the movie was shot has nothing to do with Gu Jingchuan, and whether it is shot by a private company or a national company has no effect on him.He is just a temporary laborer who works for a day and gets paid for a day. The movie is not shown and he doesn't want to do it at all. At most, he just laments that the director and actors of this movie are not good, so he can't learn. It's just something.

The director and the actors are all two knives, but they still think they are good, and the big names are not decent, and they send the entire crew around.Dissatisfied with this, dissatisfied with that, the order was inconsistent, but when he asked him, he couldn't tell what he wanted. Instead, he lost his temper at the miscellaneous workers, accusing them of being stupid and unable to understand human language.Tossing them over and over again makes it more tiring for them to do odd jobs than dry laborers in the 21st century who move bricks and cement. If it weren't for the salary of this crew that is [-]% higher than that of other places, the staff would have already Just went on strike.

If it wasn't too busy, Gu Jingchuan wouldn't be too tired to doze off, and he wouldn't forget to pick up dinner.He hurried all the way back to the set, and looked at the time on his personal terminal. It was 5 minutes earlier than the break time. It seemed that his driving skills had not declined. Gu Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a staff member who was usually close to him gesticulating at him. Seeing that he didn't respond, he hurried over, pretending to help him unload the car, and whispered in his ear : "The shooting in the afternoon didn't go well. I took a break earlier. Just now the director was still asking about the dinner. I heard that it hasn't arrived yet. There has already been a fire. My face is still blue. Be careful."

Gu Jingchuan nodded in gratitude to him, carefully unloaded the incubator from the car, opened the box quickly, and prepared to distribute dinner.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the dinner was late, which delayed everyone's meal." Gu Jingchuan accompanied the smiling face, and handed the dinner plate containing the food to the stern-faced director.

The middle-aged man in his fifties with a sarcastic face didn't even pick up the connection. He glanced at him and overturned the dinner plate, pouring Gu Jingchuan's head and face with vegetable soup. "What do you eat? Can you still have a sense of time? If you don't want to do it, you can get out of here! Accountant, where is the accountant? Check him out so he doesn't come tomorrow!"

Gu Jingchuan wiped the vegetable soup off his face, and before he could speak, the staff member who reminded him to be careful hurried over to smooth things over, "Director Mu, Xiao Gu didn't come back late on purpose, I just contacted the restaurant, Their manager also said that today's ingredients came late, so the dishes were made a little late, and Xiao Gu came back a little late, it's really not his fault."

Originally speaking like this, this matter is considered to be over, who knows that at this time a tall and thin young actor walked over and said contemptuously: "What? The director needs to get your consent to fire a temporary worker." The dishes were cooked late... Since he already knew that the dishes were coming late, why didn't he order other dishes instead, and insisted on waiting there stupidly, starving everyone on the set? Since You're so stupid, why don't you hurry home and take care of it, what kind of work do you come out for?"

The tone was really poisonous, looking for trouble at all, but Gu Jingchuan glanced at the gloomy director, and he nodded, obviously agreeing with the young man's finding fault.Don't be afraid that the other party will find fault, but be afraid that the other party will be unreasonable.The director was obviously looking for trouble on purpose. He made it clear that he was going to be fired. If there was an excuse, he would use it. If there was no excuse, he would be forced to fire him. There was no room for him to change things.

In the end, Gu Jingchuan was fired because he was not late for dinner.With the salary paid by the accountant, Gu Jingchuan went to the staff dormitory rented by the crew next to the studio to pack his luggage with a cold face, and the staff who helped him smooth things over still whispered to him in his ears.

"Xiao Gu, it's not your fault at all, it's just that they are deliberately finding trouble. In the afternoon, there was a video communication from the company, saying that someone reported to the company leader that Director Mu was nepotism and hired him who had just graduated and had no qualifications. His nephew played an important role in the film, but he is not responsible for the film. The company asked Director Mu to remove his nephew and replace him with a qualified actor recommended by the company... He was angry all afternoon about this matter, see No one is pleasing to the eye, and as a result, before your meal was delivered after a break, he threw the fire on your head."

Knowing the ins and outs, Gu Jingchuan knew why the tall and thin young actor had fanned the flames and urged the director to fire him just now. That actor was Mu Jiang, the nephew of the director Mu Binhan.

Director Mu was sued, so he deliberately found fault. He wanted to take him for hitting the muzzle of the gun, but when Mu Jiang was replaced, he became even more angry.They are using themselves as a punching bag to vent their dissatisfaction. Even if they don't have their own thing today, other temporary workers will be unlucky.Temporary workers like them are usually ordinary people with no background, and they can only bow their heads and accept their fate when they are picked on by "artists". No wonder they are so unscrupulous.

Gu Jingchuan recalled the "important role" played by Mu Jiang...it seemed to be the cousin of a middle-aged man in Liujiaolian, and his lines didn't even have five sentences.Just such a side role is worth tearing up by the people in the film company, making a small report, and replacing it with a "more qualified" actor?I don't even know if this broken movie will be released...

Gu Jingchuan twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling completely hopeless for the National Film Company.

If Gu Jingchuan was a real young man, he would probably feel resentful and hard to let go of being deliberately found fault and fired.But Gu Jingchuan is an old man with a youthful skin. If the life experience in his dream is included, he is already a ten thousand year old monster. This kind of thing is certainly unpleasant, but it is not worth his anger .

Whether it's Mu Binhan or Mu Jiang, the reason why they dare to throw fire at him is because his status is low, he has no ability to resist, and he is just an ordinary temporary worker.If he is a famous director or actor, the owner of a movie company, or a billionaire, would they still dare to provoke him?I'm afraid it's too late to curry favor with him.

Instead of being resentful because of other people's mistakes, be strong enough to make them feel uncomfortable about the past when they wronged you.

Gu Jingchuan took a shower slowly, changed into clean clothes, and then left the studio dormitory with his luggage.Now he doesn't have the experience to think about those two bastards. With that time, he might as well think about what he will do next.

Gu Jingchuan was just a high school graduate, and it was really hard to find a job in the cosmic era. Even if he found one, he could only be a temporary worker with a daily salary.The temporary workers on the set got involved in the entertainment industry because of their work, and their salary was not bad, but it was not a long-term solution after all.

Without a fixed contract, he was fired as soon as he was told, without even discussing it.Even if he is not fired, a crew can only last half a year to a year at most, and he will still have to disband after filming, and he will have to find a new job at that time.Toiling, but still putting his fate in the hands of others, with no choice at all, is this the life he wants?

Obviously not……

Gu Jingchuan put his luggage on the side of the road, sat on it by himself, and propped his chin with his hands to think about his future plans.He doesn't have many choices, and even if there are some unreliable choices, he will rule them out by himself.

It takes a lot of money to re-study, and the re-study of the cosmic calendar needs a lot of money. If he is not admitted to a national university, the tuition fees of a private university are too high for him to afford.Although he earned some money doing part-time jobs this year, the full calculation is only 21 to 5 star coins. Even in the [-]st century, [-] to [-] yuan is not enough for a student of an art university to spend during college. Moreover, the tuition fees of art universities are extremely high, which is really not affordable for him.

find a job?After thinking about it for a while, he rejected it.Still the same problem, he didn't have a college degree, so he couldn't find any good jobs at all. Instead of wasting his life looking for temporary jobs, he might as well think of other ways.

In fact, it is not that Gu Jingchuan has no other choices. He can choose to study an ordinary major with relatively cheap tuition fees, and work in an ordinary job after graduation. In the future, the money he earns from continuing to work part-time is definitely enough for him to complete his studies.But Gu Jingchuan is not reconciled!

Why did he resolutely jump into the entertainment circle in his last life?Why did he grit his teeth and persist, refused to give up, and fought for his whole life?

Because the entertainment industry is his ideal, his dream!It's his bones, his blood, his life!He can lose everything, but he must not lose this ideal!

The so-called ideal is not something that can be thrown aside when it is realized.If it is not realized, it is necessary to strive for a lifetime to pursue it, and if it is realized, it is necessary to work hard for the whole life.

Gu Jingchuan asked himself: What do you want to do now?

He answered himself: I want to enter the entertainment industry, I want to make movies!

Gu Jingchuan told himself: Okay, then let's make a movie!Don't let yourself regret...
