When the alarm clock rang, Nicole closed her eyes and pushed the person beside her. However, until her arms were straightened and she did not touch anything outside the sheet, Nicole realized that after divorce, she had to take care of the children alone.

Fortunately, my child is already in the second grade of elementary school. As a parent, the most difficult period for raising a child has passed.

Nicole pressed off the alarm clock, put on her clothes, and went to the child's room to wake up the person while holding her scattered hair. People staying in bed always compete for every second, and were willing to give everything to their children in order to sleep a little longer. After getting the "one minute of sleep" from the child, Nicole then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Bake toast, soak milk, fry eggs and bacon, these are not difficult to prepare. Whenever they are done, Nicole urges the child to get up. When everything is ready, the child's consciousness is almost awake.

At the dining table, the child swallowed a large mouthful of toast to drive away his sleepiness, and asked with great hope: "Why haven't we gone to China yet? I heard that we don't have to get up so early to study in China. I really want to go there quickly."

Nicole read a book late at night and still felt tired on her face. She said, "Don't think too beautifully. You can't learn Chinese well. No matter whether there are classes or not, you must get up early and make up for your homework."

The child screamed "Ah--" but the sadness in his voice was just pretending. He was full of curiosity and eagerness to try the country of China, and he wanted to fly to China immediately today. He no longer had the heart to learn the class at the school, but he learned the training courses of Chinese language after school. The classmates already knew that he was going to live in China, and they all envied them. But in fact, this is not the thing that students envy the most.

"Mom, can you see Han Jue often when you go to China?" The child was energetic and the sleepy face was completely gone.

The child has no idea about the difference between the types of jobs of actors and directors. He doesn't know what this means for the mother who has given everything to participate in the selection in the past few months. Until a month ago, his mother's friends and father's friends came to the house in a row, congratulating his mother with a smile, saying that he should not forget them when he becomes a big director in the future. The child can't understand anything [fire] and what [American film and television industry]. The only thing he can understand is [Han Jue]. Knowing that his mother is about to become Han Jue's colleague, and even has to make a movie under Han Jue's guidance, the child suddenly understands how amazing his mother has done.

That's Han Jue!

Although he is only in the second grade of elementary school, he is no stranger to Han Jue. Originally, there are often things that students are hostile to each other for the differences in the stars they support, but since Han Jue became famous in the United States, such things have rarely happened. Han Jue has become the forefront of popular culture, and everyone is captured by him, and they all become their own people, and they can't make a fuss. Even if some students expressed their hatred of Han Jue and despise everyone for the popularization of the country, others are not angry about it. They just pitifully advised the person to "listen more good music", "do not be so narrow-minded", "nationalism will confine your ability to feel art"... In the lower grades, male and female students, many of them are fans of Han Jue. When the school party was held, several programs always appear in a row, perform Han Jue's dance, sing Han Jue's songs, or play Han Jue's piano music.

Han Jue is as far away from them as mythical characters. But he can be closer to Han Jue than everyone else.

"Can I see Han Jue himself then?" The child saw that his mother didn't speak, so he asked again.

"able."

"Will he sign me?"

Nicole took a napkin and wiped her mouth, thought for a while, nodded: "Yes." Then she asked the child to finish breakfast soon.

The child cheered, buried his head and quickly finished his breakfast, then ran into the room, carried his schoolbag behind him, and couldn't wait to go to school to harvest the fresh envious eyes of his friends.

Nicole drove the child to school, went home to pack the plate, made a cup of coffee, and went to the study to continue reading the books she had not finished reading last night. The books were recommended by Han Jue a month ago, and there were several books, and she was reading the last one now.

It was this book list that allowed Nicole to give a positive answer to whether the child could meet Han Jue and get his signature.

In the past month, Nicole has met Han Jue twice. One was the final round of the selection and the other was the signing contract.

On the day of the selection, Han Jue left a devilish and horrifying impression on Nicole, but on the day of signing, Han Jue gave her a different feeling.

On the day of signing the contract, a group of them waited nervously for Han Jue. While checking the contract, they carefully threw the accumulated questions to Han Jue. Han Jue answered everyone's doubts one by one. There was no official accent or Tai Chi, and all questions were answered positively.

"How often can I go back to America after arriving in China?"

"Your holidays are the same as those of school students. You can arrange the time for statutory holidays yourself. You can go back to the United States or stay in China."

“…”

"Who will teach us the class when we go to China?"

"When I got there, the training and internship were conducted together. The class was conducted by professors from the Magic City Film Academy, and some directors would also be invited to communicate. The internship was an internship in our crew of [Tinder]."

“…”

"If the children go to China together, what's the environment for learning?"

"The school is a private primary school with good hardware facilities and teaching staff, and there are many foreign children inside, which minimizes the possibility of being discriminated against. Of course, the tuition fee will be provided by the company."

“…”

The question ends in about twenty minutes.

The questions raised by most people received satisfactory answers. Even a small number of people were dissatisfied with the answer "When will we start leading our own movies?" "This is not sure, I have the final say." However, there was no room for bargaining, and finally signed the name.

After signing the contract, Han Jue didn't stay long, said goodbye to everyone and left.

In just twenty minutes, Nicole actually didn't feel that she was getting a distance from Han Jue. Han Jue's aura was still terrifying. But that afternoon, after she returned home, she received a call from Han Jue. On the phone, Han Jue talked to her more carefully about her marriage entries, pointed out her characteristics and advantages as a director, and pointed out some shortcomings. Finally, she suggested that if she wanted to make her debut, she could expand the short film. The phone was called for nearly two hours.

Nicole listened to Han Jue's advice carefully. Then, after hanging up the phone, Han Jue sent a book list with reference books, memoirs of female directors, and some literary works about gender marriage. It is obvious that this is a book list made by Han Jue for her personal. Nicole was full of gratitude and keenly discovered Han Jue's cold outside and hot inside, and had a more three-dimensional understanding of Han Jue, the [star of stars].

She was not so passionate that she thought Han Jue did this to her. After all, Zhang Yiman was like a mountain pressing against any woman who covet Han Jue. She didn't think she could shake Zhang Yiman's position, and she didn't think that people like Han Jue would be disappointing in their relationship.

"Dinglinglinglinglinglinglinglinglinglinglingling--"

The ringing phone ringing brings Nicole back to reality from the book.

Nicole frowned. Half of her dissatisfaction was because she was interrupted to read, while the other half was that she had answered many calls during this period and her conditioned reflex began to get bored in advance.

After the end of [Flame], the media has focused on the first episode of the sixteen people, and each of them is said to be the future of the American film and television industry. It is so exaggerated that it is scary. The masses are also very enthusiastic, and they each found the target they want to support, just like watching a talent show.

Nicole is just a preparatory director who doesn't have any work, but she already has a large number of fans, and even many people in the circle have come up. Some people want to get Han Jue through her, some want to book roles in her works, and some people are optimistic about her future and want to place bets in advance. Nicole was ready for a drastic change in her life before divorce, but she didn't expect the direction of the drastic change to be so dreamy and so gratifying. When she first signed up for this new director selection project, she actually didn't have much hope. She thought that she had no career, no marriage, and everything was impossible to lose. She tried hard and finally reaped unexpected fruits. Her career had not started yet, but she enjoyed the taste of becoming famous in advance. If it weren't for Jennifer's blunt reminder, Nicole would have almost lost herself in the false hallucination.

"Dingling--" Nicole picked up her phone and found that it was Jennifer who called.

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and answered the phone.

"The passport has been sent, and it's not convenient for you to get it now?" Jennifer asked Nicole on the phone. Jack and Jennifer now have a superior position in the United States and have a new position. In addition to participating in various activities, they also take time to serve as counselors of [Flame 1] in their spare time and are responsible for some matters.

Nicole only saw Jennifer and was briefly explained about going abroad. Later, she saw Jennifer, all on TV. Nicole thought that if she had been shooting movies after her debut instead of going to act in dramas halfway through, her popularity and popularity might still not be as good as Jennifer. With just two movies and one TV series, Jennifer surpassed the struggles of most American actresses for half a lifetime.

Nicole didn't dare to direct Jennifer to run errands, so she said, "No need to worry, I have time now, just go and get it now."

Unexpectedly, Jennifer said, "I have nothing to do now, so I'll take it to your house."

Nicole was not shy, said thank you, hung up the phone, sat on the sofa and took a deep breath. Now that the passport came down, it means that the days to go to China have been in these few days. Nicole let out a deep breath, a little nervous and expectant. She didn't know whether she would conquer the Chinese audience like Jennifer as an American, or whether she would become a member of countless people who were not accommodating to the local environment and come back in shame.

Within twenty minutes, Jennifer arrived at Nicole's doorstep. After coming in, he handed over his passport and sat on the sofa, looking like he was planning to have a meal here.

Seeing Nicole pulling out a bunch of takeout orders, picking out one, and calling the takeout according to the number above, Jennifer couldn't help but shake her head and sigh: "It's so retro."

After ordering lunch, Nicole hung up the phone, then said to Jennifer with a funny look: "You have only been there for two years." It means not to look like a foreign guest.

"It only takes a year to experience some good things, and then go back to America and you won't be able to adapt to those bad things." Jennifer's words seem to refer to more than takeaway.

Nicole heard it, but she had no position to refute it. After all, Jennifer had a lot of controversy when he encountered injustice, and she also heard about it at that time and felt resentful.

"But this time I returned home, I was a little surprised. The few songs I heard recently are a little different from before." Speaking of this, Jennifer's face was a little relieved, as if the anger he had before was just angry. "Making music is the same as making movies. If you don't find your own cultural characteristics and just imitate and please, you can only walk behind others."

"I'm going to say the opposite. It should be the same as making music." Nicole corrected: "The way music changes in front and the way movies come after."

"Wrong," said Jennifer, "Traveler Time and Space" appeared earlier than "When Stars Shine."

Nicole raised her eyebrows.

Jennifer has long analyzed his movie layer by layer, and it is effortless to say it: "The concept of family and love shown in "Time and Space Love Traveler" is different from the Confucian culture in China. For example, in order to help the child grow up healthily, the protagonist has to make up his mind to say goodbye to his father, and he did in the end. In Confucian culture, [filial piety] to his elders is the most important. Next, the male and female protagonists decide to get married and then inform their parents. In our country's culture, the new family formed by children after marriage is often more important than the original family, so even if the elders don't like their children's other half, they actually have no right to interfere too much. However, in Confucian culture, if the elders do not allow them, it will be very difficult for children to get married.

The boss moved a foreign story to China, but in fact the core is still the authentic foreign cultural core. It is precisely because the boss boldly showed the foreign cultural characteristics and did not please the Chinese audience too much, so that the movie could succeed and the box office would explode. Oh, of course, reliable producers, director techniques, story selling points, narrative rhythm and actor performance are also the reasons for the success of the work."

Nicole understood. She understood the meaning of [Tinder], and also understood how she should use her strength to make movies in China in the future. She also understood what Han Jue said to her on the phone [The most personal thing is the most creative thing]. Nicole has more confidence in her trip to China.

"Ding Dong."

Takeaway arrived.

Nicole paid the cash and brought back a box of pizza. Jennifer pulled off a corner of the pizza and ate it while giving Nicole a handful of his life, teaching her some experience as a senior:

"Although Boss Jia is a shareholder, he is actually the mascot of the company. No one can control him, and no one can control him. If he wants to give you advice, don't listen to a word. If he wants to change your notebook, ignore him. If he yells, threatens and clamors to fire you, you can tell Producer Xia that Producer Xia will deal with him."

"Summer Producer is the leader of the three giants in the company and is also my idol. If you have any problems, you can go to her to solve them, even some problems outside of work."

"Director Sun is the director who filmed "The Mystery of the Internet". He has a very high level and is half of Boss Han's teacher. If you have any questions about the director, you can ask him."

"besides……"

"Finally, there is another person named Xiao Zhou in the company, who is Boss Han's eldest apprentice. You have been following Boss Han. You should have seen him. Although he doesn't seem to have a good brain, he is very talented and comprehensive. He can write, director, film, cut, and even his acting skills can be shown. Director Sun said that in addition to screenwriters, Xiao Zhou's talents in other aspects are likely to surpass Boss Han. If no one can suppress him, he will be the leader in this period."

Nicole was a little surprised at the end. She really didn't expect that the assistant beside Han Jue who looked good but laughed at Jalens and was full of silly anger, had such ability.

Nicole asked: "Does he have any works now?"

"Some." Jennifer replied: "His short film has been taken to the [Golden Bull Award] to participate."

Nicole's eyes widened.

Although she was not interested in leading the army but not leading the army, Nicole suddenly felt like fighting was burning when she thought of being represented by such a person in the future.

Nicole asked Jennifer: "When will you go to China?"

"Be ready," Jennifer said, "It's been these two days."

...

...

Two days later.

Nicole walked in the Magic City Airport with her child's hand, and was very excited. Taking a deep breath, the air was filled with the smell of socialist freedom.

The young directors who were traveling with them were all very excited. Some were excited and their faces were full of ambition to conquer the place. Some were uneasy. Listening to the Chinese language at the radio station, their hearts were filled with nostalgia.

The team was moving, and Jack and Jennifer were like tour guides of the elderly tour group, urged everyone not to leave the team, not to take photos suddenly, and not to slip away quietly.

As we walked, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd: "It's the boss's wife!"

Everyone looked over the fingers of the shoe-toed face and found that there was a cold image of Zhang Yiman applying lipstick on the billboard not far away. Everyone was relieved and a little disappointed. But the male director cheered up very quickly, and after a while, he immediately started the game of [Find the Boss' Lady]. Because of the airport environment that is visible to the naked eye, there are really many places where Zhang Yiman can be seen.

Nicole casually saw a little further away, a large screen was silently placing the variety show "You Are the Road". In it, Zhang Yiman was wearing a sportswear and a ponytail, playing football with a group of people in a hurry. Zhang Yaohui was walking behind like a walk, as if he was cheering for his opponent loudly and directing the spot, so that the people on the other side could quickly defend his daughter.

The female directors were unwilling to fall behind and began to play the game of looking for Han Jue at the airport. Unfortunately, Han Jue's number of advertisements was not as good as Zhang Yiman, and they were quickly found.

Nicole walked to the shoehorn face and asked them why they called Zhang Yiman the boss lady.

The shoehorn face said he learned it from Jack. When Jack gave male directors [onboarding training], he actually emphasized Zhang Yiman's transcendent status first.

Nicole nodded, but had no intention of shouting.
