No matter how long the time has passed, Director Sun still remembers that the day before graduation and leaving school, the tutor called him home and talked to him about his future development. At the end, the two were already 70% or 80% drunk. The tutor finally poured him a full glass of wine. When he clinked his glasses, he said a few words to him:

"If the water is not thick, then it will be powerless to carry a large boat. If the wind is not thick, then it will be powerless to carry a large wing."

"What is a true reputation? It means that if you do your job well, your reputation will naturally come."

"…You must be the fastest student in this class."

"Xiao Sun, you are talented, protect yourself... don't waste it."

"With the work, I will go and see it when the time comes, uh, I will go and see it when the time comes..."

Although he was a top student at school, he was still a little hesitant about the future. He didn't know how to go to the crew to experience it first, or to go directly to the world. The instructor's inspiration to speak the truth after drinking was burned into his heart like a brand, dispelling the mist that had been mist for days.

The sorrow of graduation did not stay in his heart for long. Soon, he brought in a few people and began to shoot.

He made a short film with bare hands, patience, impulse and enthusiasm, and won an award at the Magic City Film Festival, and was full of energy. In the film reviews, he became a promising star of tomorrow, and countless people were looking forward to his long-form movies. He felt that the mentor's words were right and he was talented.

A boss invested in him to shoot a long piece, but he didn't have much money, so he was very excited. The boss said "to do his best", so he used all his strength to make a masterpiece.

Each work is a chapter in the author's spiritual history.

The work was released and after being sent to the film festival, I received a lot of bad reviews, "I don't know what to say", "I can see my narrative ambitions, but I don't control it well, I'm really too confident and the rhythm collapsed", "Did he shoot the movie last year?"...

The film review said that he was not ready yet and could not control the long story, and he felt so.

Later he joined the crew, worked as an associate director and a screenwriter. In just five years, he participated in the shooting of twelve movies.

Among them, he has followed the new director, well-known director, filmed commercial films, and also made artistic works. Whether the final results of the movie are good or bad, the directors he has worked with all comments that he is "very useful".

Director Sun was also happy, feeling that he had learned a lot, and if he took pictures again, he would not fail.

The director who has worked with him introduced the investor to him. Director Sun pretended to be a grandson several times and won the investment, but the conditions were that the male and female protagonists had to introduce him with investment. Director Sun was no longer young. In the past few years of experience, he learned about the rules of the world and the opinions of the sect, and saw the fame and fortune, ambition party, Hongmen Banquet, and a cowhide... Here, everyone sometimes punched each other for what they wanted, and sometimes drank and talked about it, and wanted to make a living with capital. I knew that this might be his best opportunity, so I drank a few glasses of wine and agreed.

The filming process was once very painful. The difficulty of the actor was on the one hand, and on the other hand, he ended the filming several times. He went back to the house to look at the results of the day and asked himself, "Did I shoot it?" Then he collapsed several times. Every morning, he woke up with hair on his pillow. This was the first time he had been afraid of movies in so many years.

He was relieved when the movie was finally finished. He didn't even wait for the news of the movie later. He said that he was not ready and was still a little bit short of it. He waited until he made up for that point before he made up for his own movie, and then continued to be an assistant director. He had never heard of the follow-up news of the movie again.

Ten years have passed, he is nearly forty years old and is about to be middle-aged.

He did not forget that he was looking for [that point], but no matter how long he had passed, he always felt that he was a little short of it, just a little short of it. In the years as an assistant director, he could write scripts, direct, edit, and dubbing them later, but he never knew what was missing.

Year by year, new directors emerge one after another. Looking back, he has missed the period of his most creative power. Everyone thinks he is very good, but no one is willing to invest in him.

Even if he planned to pay for the filming by himself, his wife would not spend the money for him. Even if his wife agreed, the two failures made his spirits fall to the bottom and he dare not take risks.

The myth of turning over with a small cost is indispensable in the circle, but why did such a good thing come to him? There is a rule that there is no three things in the circle. As long as he fails again, he will never have a chance in his life.

He worked diligently as the assistant director, his strength became stronger and more famous.

The instructor's motivation often echoed in his mind, and he would laugh when he remembered it. The well-deserved words were finally realized, but compared to the instructor's expectations, the director had an additional word [subject] in front of him. Sometimes he wanted to ask the instructor what he should do next. But he no longer dared to see the instructor. How could he have the face to see the instructor?

Before he could see his mentor with his works, the mentor died of a cerebral infarction.

He clearly agreed to look at his works, so why did he leave like that?

Director Sun went to the funeral. The instructor's wife was almost eighty years old. She felt familiar with him and asked him if he was a student of the instructor with her eyelids. He didn't dare to look at the muddy eyes in front of him. He was dull for a long time and finally ran in a hurry. It was raining that day, and he ran all the time, crying and running, just like a dog.

Since then, he hasn't wanted to make his own movie for a long time. Occasionally, some friends are willing to recommend investment, so Director Sun also politely declined to go back.

Movies are also a skill.

It’s like writing an article. Before writing for the first time, you search for materials and think about it several times before writing. When writing, you should be careful and focused. Each punctuation mark has to be better choices. After writing, you have to modify it back and forth. Although you have problems with it after writing, the sincerity of working hard is clear at a glance, and a sense of accomplishment arises. After writing too much, it will be different. After you are familiar with it, your mind will think about being lazy and turning on the power saving mode, knowing what should be here and what should be there. The speed of writing is getting faster and faster, and brain cells are consumed less and less. Creation becomes a physical work.

The same goes for movies.

Director Sun, who is 45 years old, has a very high reputation in the industry. The reason why he is different from other assistant directors is that when he is shooting movies, he does not make routines or is lazy, and cherishes every hard-earned opportunity to watch the camera well. Every time he shoots, he is as sincere as the first time.

He protected the aisle for new directors, gave advice, and worked as gunmen for bad directors. Some actors who transformed directors were waiting for his schedule. He also worked with well-known directors in amazing scenes. After the movie was successful, he saw that the praise he should have belonged to in the newspaper was attributed to others. The highlights he originally thought of became the highlights of others' resumes, and he was no longer indifferent.

His edges and corners were like his increasingly bulging belly, becoming more and more round. Moreover, he was just an assistant director.

He has forgotten the [that point] that I have been waiting and looking for in my heart.

Director Sun felt that he had lost his hope of becoming a director and thought that he would always be an assistant director.

Until he met Han Jue.
