Ning Hao looked at the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, always feeling a little awkward.
"Why do I feel that something is wrong with me when I wear it like this," Ning Hao loosened his tie and said suspiciously.
He rarely wears a suit and tie, and he feels that the tie is too formal, and he is not going to work in a large company, which is not in harmony with their literary and artistic style.
"You look mature and stable when you dress like this, your usual dress looks like a child, not serious, don't be thought that you are mixed with society."
The girl next to her complained.
"Then why didn't you say it before," Ning Hao said puzzled.
"I just like you like the ruffian."
The girl said bluntly, "But this time it's the right thing to do, and you have to be disciplined." ” The girl is Ning Hao's girlfriend, named Xing Aina, the two met in the capital, got along for a few years, and had a stable relationship.
When I first met, they were all drifting north, living in poverty, and living a tight life, but because of this, there is now mutual support.
Xing Aina is a screenwriter who has always encouraged Ning Hao to be a director and make movies.
They don't have much savings, they don't have connections in the film and television industry, and like most newcomers in this circle, they are looking for opportunities, and finally find that this is a very realistic industry.
The prosperity of the market does not mean that newcomers are easy to get ahead, investors value returns, and they chase successes.
Newcomers have no capital, are full of unknowns, have a high probability of failure, and are not the first choice of investors.
Ning Hao is about to graduate next year, and they pondered an interesting book, looking for funds, but they ran into walls everywhere.
This is a commercial era, it is difficult to attract investment in literary films, he does not have Jia Zhangke's fame, and he does not know overseas investors, so he can only circle among those local tyrant bosses.
They even plan to use their savings to make films, regardless of success or failure.
Because once they fail, the two will become poor and may also owe foreign debts, which is not a happy ending.
Like other newcomers who have just entered the industry, Ning Hao and Xing Ai do not lack the courage to make a desperate bet, wishful thinking that their book is the best, and they will shoot it no matter what.
Even if you don't get the recognition of the market, you have to go out and do it, so as not to regret it in the future.
If you don't have a little momentum when you're young, you'll live up to this great youth, and of course, if there are other options, they don't want to be so impulsive.
Two days ago, Ning Hao received a call from Good Dreams and asked him to come over and talk about his film project.
This is undoubtedly a better option.
Joining the Young Directors Support Program of Good Dream Company means half the success for new directors, not only providing filming funds, but also professional guidance and support, as well as follow-up publicity and distribution.
In other words, the project has entered the formal process and is no longer a self-entertainment without guarantees.
Ning Hao listened to Xing Aina's advice, did not change his suit and tie, and made himself look like a successful person, he walked out of the rental house and went to the Good Dream Company.
Good Dream Company is located in the bustling area of the capital, with convenient transportation around.
The new Good Dream Building has not yet been completed, and it will not be possible to relocate until the second half of next year, along with the staff dormitory building and various supporting buildings.
Ning Hao registered at the front desk and was then taken to the office of the Young Directors Support Fund.
He walked all the way, observing his surroundings.
The Chinese New Year schedule is coming, and the company is in a busy atmosphere, with people coming and going between various departments, and the phone ringing one after another, which is very lively.
He also saw some celebrities, and it should be Zhao Liying who was talking to the people next to him.
Zhao Liying is a hot star in China, with a salary of more than two million US dollars, and her salary for one movie is enough to make several films for herself.
Ning Hao sighed in his heart.
This is the case in this industry, where the gap between the upper and lower classes, between the stars and the newcomers, is very large.
It is not uncommon to see stars in Good Dreams Company, although they are usually busy filming and rarely return to the company, but during the promotion period of film and television dramas, they appear in the company more often.
Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi came over to sign up for the character audition for Xiaoxue's big adventure.
She can recommend Liu Shishi, but the company's audition activities will not stop here, even if Liu Shishi is determined, she must continue to do the audition, and the purpose of the audition is to promote the movie.
Now is the registration stage, and the online voting will open after the New Year and last for half a year.
Zhao Liying is not worried about online voting, she can canvass for Liu Shishi, and secretly hinted during the interview that it does not violate the rules of the audition.
What's more, the final interpretation of the audition is in Good Dreams, and it can be interpreted no matter how you want.
At the same time as Liu Shishi registered, Zhao Liying looked at the list of previous registrations, the list does not need to be strictly confidential, and the information will be entered into the website after the initial screening for netizens to query and vote.
"Liu Yifei also signed up, I know her."
Zhao Liying was surprised.
Liu Yifei has a lot of reports in the domestic media, and as a newcomer who has not been around for a long time since her debut, her popularity is not low.
Xiaoxue's adventure role audition attracted many girls of the right age to sign up, including ordinary high school students, art school students, and even rookie actors.

This is a big production of more than 100 million US dollars, and as long as you can play a role in it, it is not a dream to become famous overnight.
Zhao Liying is the best example, even if she is not as good as Zhao Liying, she can show her face in the international film industry and lay a good foundation for her future acting career.
Therefore, in addition to mainland girls, there are also Hong Kong and Taiwan girls and overseas Chinese in the list.
Zhao Liying flipped through the pages and didn't see the familiar name again.
In this list, there is also a mainland girl named Yang Mi and another Xiangjiang girl named Yang Ying.
Ning Hao sat in the office, waiting for the interviewer's questions like an interview, and he was opposite Lin Xiaoling, a famous domestic director, the leader of the sixth generation of directors.
Although the two are of the same age, there is a big difference in their status in the circle.
"I think the entry point of your book is very good, through the monk Huayuan temple repair, touching all aspects of modern society, very expressive."
Lin Xiaoling commented, "The style is biased towards documentary, with a bit of gray color, with irony and black humor, a very interesting story." ” "What does Director Lin mean," Ning Hao asked.
"I'll arrange a producer to talk to you about the production process, you make your own shooting plan, and we'll help you refine it, and calculate how much investment and staff you need.
I'm going to make a new film recently, so I don't think I have much time to focus on it, so you can contact me if you have any questions.
Lin Xiaoling reminded.
"Okay, I'll cooperate with the company's arrangement."
Ning Hao hurriedly said.
"By the way, in terms of actors, do you have any ideas, whether to use non-professional actors or professional actors," Lin Xiaoling asked.
Filming films in a similar documentary style, using non-professional actors often seems real and believable.
"I want to use non-professional actors, but I'm worried that non-professional actors won't meet the requirements."
Ning Hao pondered.
If it is his own investment, Ning Hao will definitely use non-professional actors, and the salary is low, but now since it is a good dream company investment, he is still willing to use professional actors.
"In this way, I will recommend a semi-professional actor to you, how about Huang Bo," Lin Xiaoling proposed. t1706231537:
