Chapter 3, perhaps this is an opportunity
Oh? Suddenly, the girl glanced at him and frowned, as if she were pondering something. She leaned in a bit closer, scrutinizing Wang Yang for a few moments, and hesitantly asked, "Excuse me... are you, oh, are you Yang?"
He actually watched several movies with just one ticket, truly a "subpar" student. Wang Yang smiled; the big screen was already showing the part about the shipwreck, and he couldn't help but get absorbed in it. When would he be able to make a movie like this? He needed an opportunity
Thank you. The girl took the tissue, pulled out a piece to wipe her eyes, and smiled at Wang Yang
However, when Wang Yang whimsically wanted to know about other future events, such as the winning numbers of the next American Powerball; or who the next President of the United States would be after the scandal-ridden Bill Clinton; or whether Michael Jordan could achieve a three-peat once again this year, he wished to know, yet his mind was completely unresponsive
Even if this newcomer’s script is recognized, it will still require a gradual scheduling process, and it would not be surprising if it takes three to five years to be produced. Three to five years? Come on, he has long been tied back to San Francisco by his parents
Damn it, what kind of joke is this! Wang Yang, at a loss, scratched his head after being bumped by a stroller, and then his mind was filled with future movies. Oh God, what is going on with Him? He muttered, "Could it be that He knows I love movies, so He let me watch enough in advance? Perhaps it’s a kind of gift? As compensation for my dismissal?"
This name reveals certain information; he is of Asian descent, specifically of Chinese descent. In this country that advocates equality, many forms of racial discrimination do not manifest overtly, yet they quietly persist in the background. Asians, including Black individuals, suffer from name-based discrimination.
Damn it, what a madman! While Wang Yang felt admiration, a surge of blood rushed to his head, and a strong desire arose within him; he wanted to become that kind of person! To create a film that would drive the whole world crazy!
However, this was enough for Wang Yang to become completely engrossed; he didn't even notice the audience leaving. In fact, he forgot about time altogether, as the big screen continued to play the next film. Due to the emptiness of the cinema during the day, there were no staff members to ask him to leave.
For example, it is immediately apparent that a name is of Asian or Black origin when compared to a White name in a job application. Even if the resumes are identical in content, the one belonging to the White individual may be slightly less impressive, yet the company Hetushucomcom ultimately selects the White candidate's resume. Consequently, many Black families, for the sake of their children's future, choose not to give their children a distinctly Black name, opting instead for a mainstream American White name. This is a regrettable reality.
Moreover, the script he submitted is very likely to be discarded without even a glance by the film company. This is due to his age, his resume, and most importantly, his name, Young Wang
Wang Yang suddenly felt a jolt in his heart; this gift from God... perhaps this was indeed his opportunity. If he were to bring a future classic film to the screen ahead of time, would he not achieve the same success? However, compared to returning to San Francisco in defeat, having accomplished nothing, at least this way there would be a chance, wouldn't there
Alright, let's not dwell on it for now, after all, this gift is truly wonderful and perfectly suits his taste! Having watched classic films from the next decade all at once, oh yeah, just thinking about it is exhilarating, it's absolutely fantastic! Wang Yang excitedly threw a combination punch, quickly casting aside his previous minor worries.
Oh, "Avatar"? It's James Cameron again! Oh, are you kidding me, a global box office of 2.78 billion USD! This world is truly insane! Wang Yang couldn't help but exclaim, many people thought that "Titanic" was the limit, who would have known that ten years later James Cameron would create another miracle?
Expelled from USC, and the reason for the expulsion recorded in the file is racial discrimination. Will other schools accept you? Don't hold your breath; looking for a job? You still carry the stain of racial discrimination. Even if you are lucky enough to become a script supervisor, hoping to rise from that position to director is less likely than hoping to go from a background actor to an Oscar-winning actor.
Let us take a look at what treasures there are... Wang Yang comfortably leaned against the back of the chair, browsing through the future movie room in his mind. The room contained all types of films: hilarious comedies, thrilling horror movies, touching romantic dramas, and visually stunning science fiction... Wang Yang was like a hungry man facing a table full of sumptuous food, tasting a bit here and a bit there, ultimately unsure of what to choose.
If directing is not an option, then write an absolutely blockbuster script and see if it can attract the favor of any company Wang Yang immediately shook his head in self-mockery and dismissed the idea
A girl sitting next to him was also sobbing uncontrollably. Although it was dark in the cinema and it was hard to see clearly, the girl's silhouette appeared quite beautiful. Wang Yang then adopted a "gentlemanly" demeanor, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, handed it over, and softly said: "Perhaps you need this"
Only information about movies and some television series is abundantly stored in my mind
Moreover, when he wishes to know the box office and other related information about these films, the information will emerge in his mind, including details about the actors and so forth
At this moment, the most touching scene of "Titanic" arrived, and the entire cinema was suddenly filled with soft sobs. Even though Wang Yang had watched it several times, he could not control the turmoil within him, overwhelmed by an inexplicable surge of emotion
However, the current situation is a complete mess
However, the problem arises: although Wang Yang is confident in making a good film, producing a movie requires funding, ranging from a few million to several hundred million. Who would believe in an 18-year-old, not yet 19, who has just been expelled from USC, a so-called "inferior" student? Who would invest millions or even billions to let you make a film? Are you crazy or are the investors crazy? Stop dreaming! Who would invest millions or even billions to let you make a film? Are you crazy or are the investors crazy? Stop dreaming!
"... ... I promise ... ..." Ruth broke down in tears. "I must ... ... I must do it ... ..." Jack's voice gradually faded away. Ruth cried out, "I will definitely do it, Jack ... ... I will definitely do it ... ..."
Regardless of how well the script is written, only he knows whether it will be a commercial success. A film company receives countless scripts within a year, far too many to review thoroughly. Additionally, there are scripts from renowned directors and screenwriters, as well as those packaged and sold by talent agencies, which means that the filming schedule for each year is already fully booked.
"Rose, listen, let me tell you... winning the ticket was the happiest thing in my life... getting to know you... is my fortune... Rose... I am fulfilled." Jack, immersed in the sea, gazed at Rose with deep affection and trembled as he said: "I still have... one more wish... you must promise me, you have to live on... no... you cannot despair... trembling, he said: "I still have... one more wish... you must promise me, you have to live on... no... you cannot despair... no matter... what happens, no matter... how difficult... please promise me, Rose... promise me, you will definitely do it..."
"You're welcome." Wang Yang smiled as well
Wang Yang sighed helplessly, rubbed his brow, and temporarily detached himself from the images in his mind. Looking up, he saw that the big screen was playing "Titanic." He glanced at his watch and realized that several hours had passed; the earlier screening of "City of Angels" had long since ended, and it was possible that another film had been shown before "Titanic" was now playing.
