Ning Hao always feels a little awkward when he looks at himself in the mirror.

"Is it good to wear it like this? Why do I feel something is wrong all over?" Ning Hao loosened his tie and said suspiciously.

He rarely wears suits and ties, and thinks that wearing a tie is too formal and does not work in a large company, so he is inconsistent with their literary style.

"You look mature and steady in dressing like this. You usually look careless and unruly. Don't be thought that you are a social slut." The girl around you complained.

"Then why didn't you say it before?" Ning Hao said in confusion.

"I just like you," the girl responded, "but this time I'm doing serious things, so be more concise."

The girl is Ning Hao's girlfriend, named Xing Aina. The two met in the capital and have been together for several years and their relationship is stable.

When I first met, they were all drifting in Beijing, living in poverty and living a tight life, but because of this, they have a mutual support now.

Xing Ai'er is a screenwriter and has always encouraged Ning Hao to be a director and make movies.

They don’t have much savings and have no connections in the film and television industry. They are looking for opportunities like most newcomers in this circle, and finally find that this is a very realistic industry.

The prosperity of the market does not mean that newcomers are prone to making a name for themselves. Investors value returns, and they are pursuing successful people.

Newcomers have no capital and are full of unknowns. The chance of failure is high, and they are not the first choice for investors.

Ning Hao is about to graduate next year. They have figured out an interesting notebook and are looking for funds, but they are hitting walls everywhere.

This is an era of commercialization, and it is difficult for art films to attract investment. He does not have the reputation of Jia Zhangke, nor does he know overseas investors, so he can only revolve among the rich bosses.

They even plan to use their savings to make movies without considering success or failure.

Because once they fail, the two of them become paupers and may also owe foreign debts, which is not a good ending.

Like other newcomers who have just entered the industry, Ning Hao and Xing Ai did not lack the courage to take a gamble. They wished to think that their notebooks were the best and they had to shoot them no matter what.

Even if you don’t get the market’s recognition, you have to do your best to avoid regrets in the future.

If they didn’t have some motivation when they were young, they would let down this great youth. Of course, if there were other choices, they wouldn’t want to be so impulsive.

Two days ago, Ning Hao received a call from Haomeng Company and asked him to go over and talk about his movie project.

This is undoubtedly a better choice.

Joining the Youth Director Support Program of Good Dream Company means half of the success for new directors, not only providing filming funds, but also providing professional guidance and support, as well as subsequent publicity and distribution.

In other words, this project has entered a formal process and is no longer an unguaranteed self-entertainment.

Ning Hao listened to Xing Aina's advice and did not change his suit and tie, making him look like a successful person. He walked out of the rental house and went to Haomeng Company.

Good Dream Company is located in the bustling area of ​​Beijing, with convenient transportation.

The newly built Haomeng Building has not yet been completed and will not be relocated until the second half of next year. It also includes staff dormitory buildings and various supporting buildings.

Ning Hao registered at the front desk and was taken to the office of the Youth Director Support Fund.

He walked along the way, observing the surroundings.

The New Year schedule is coming soon, and Haomeng Company is in a busy atmosphere. People come and go between departments, and the phone rings are coming one after another, which is very lively.

He also saw some celebrities, and Zhao Liying was probably talking to the people around him.

Zhao Liying is a popular big star in China, with a pay of more than 2 million US dollars. The pay for a movie is enough for her to make several movies herself.

Ning Hao sighed in his heart.

This is the case in this industry, with a huge gap between the upper and lower levels, celebrities and newcomers.

It is not uncommon to see celebrities at Good Dream Company. Although they are usually busy filming and rarely return to the company, they appear in the company more often during the promotional period of film and television dramas.

Zhao Liying and Liu Shishi came here to participate in the role audition for "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure".

She can recommend Liu Shishi, but the company's auditions will not stop there. Even if Liu Shishi is set, she will continue the auditions, mainly for the promotion of the movie.

Now is the registration stage, and online voting will start after the New Year and last for half a year.

Zhao Liying is not worried about online voting. She can canvass votes for Liu Shi and secretly hinted during the interview, which does not violate the rules of auditions.

Besides, the final interpretation right of the audition is in Haomeng Company, and you can explain it no matter how you explain it.

While Liu Shishi registered, Zhao Liying looked at the previous registration list. The list did not need to be strictly confidential. After the initial screening, the information will be entered into the website for netizens to query and vote.

"Liu Yifei has also signed up, I know her." Zhao Liying said in surprise.

Liu Yifei has a lot of reports in domestic media. As a newcomer who has not been in her debut, she is very popular.

The role auditions for "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" attracted many girls of the age to sign up, including ordinary high school students, art school students, and even new actors.

This is a big production worth more than 100 million US dollars. As long as you can play a role in it, becoming famous overnight is not a dream.

Zhao Liying is the best example. Even if she is not as good as Zhao Liying, she can still 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.

Zhao Liying looked through it and didn't see a familiar name again.

On 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. Opposite him is Lin Xiaoling, a famous domestic director, and the leading figure of the sixth generation director.

Although the two are similar in age, they have a big gap in their status in the circle.

"I think your book has a very good entry point. Through the monk begging for alms and building temples, it has touched all aspects of modern society, which is very expressive." Lin Xiaoling commented, "The style is more documentary, with a little dark color, ironic and black humorous, and a very interesting story."

"Director Lin means..." Ning Hao asked.

"I will arrange a producer to discuss the production process with you in detail. You will make your own shooting plan and we will help you improve it to calculate how much investment and staff you need. I will also want to make a new film recently. I guess I don't have much time to spend on it. If you encounter problems, you can contact me." Lin Xiaoling reminded.

"Okay, I will cooperate with the company's arrangements." Ning Hao hurriedly said.

"By the way, what do you think about actors? Are you planning to use non-professional actors or professional actors?" Lin Xiaoling asked.

Shooting films similar to documentary styles, using non-professional actors to make them real and credible.

"I want to use non-professional actors, but I am worried that non-professional actors will not meet the requirements." Ning Hao thought.

If it was his own investment, Ning Hao would definitely use non-professional actors, and his pay was low. Now that Haomeng Company has invested, he is still willing to use professional actors.

"In this way, I'll find you a semi-professional actor. How about Huang Bo?" Lin Xiaoling suggested.
