Collection 4

Chapter 4 Improper Waste

The three major domestic media giants - Huanying Media, Star TV Media, and Big Brother TG, which has also occupied a place in the world in the past two years.

It can be said that as long as a person in the film and television industry gets on these three big ships, his career will be a qualitative leap, and his future development will be smooth sailing.

On the contrary, if you are blocked by any of these three leading companies, it is equivalent to being kicked into the cold palace of the film and television industry, and this person's future is over.

Unfortunately, Yan Jibei was an unlucky man who was kicked into the abyss by capital and could not get up after climbing several times.

His graduation work was praised as a masterpiece, he won numerous awards, and became quite popular in the industry. Before he even left school, he received offers from many film and television companies.

At that time, Yan Jibei was young and energetic, and the high praise from everyone made him more convinced that he could achieve better development.

He looked down upon the small companies that took the initiative to invite him, and instead targeted the three giants. He believed that with his qualifications and talent, he would be able to quickly occupy a place in the industry.

However, he underestimated the entry threshold for large companies. None of the three giants wanted him.

TG even directly rejected Yan Jibei's resume because he did not hold a PhD degree. Whether it is Huanying or Star Vision, their greatest tolerance is to ask Yan Jibei to start as an assistant. No matter what awards he has won in the past, he will not receive any special treatment from them.

There are people in the industry who are praised as geniuses every year. Huanying and Xingshi are tired of seeing them. They don't need someone who thinks too highly of themselves to disrupt their mature system.

That period of time was a huge blow to Yan Jibei. He began to shut himself in, trapping himself in a small room, not having contact with others, and focusing solely on creation.

After a year of silence, he wrote "Back City Killer", which is the most satisfying story he has written since his graduation work. Yan Jibei firmly believes that this work will allow Huanying and Star Vision to see his abilities.

He submitted his work, and three days later, someone from Universal Pictures called him before Star Vision did.

At that time, he thought he had finally cleared away the clouds and seen the blue sky——

"They lied to me."

Yan Jibei has gray stubble around his mouth, which makes him look a lot older at the age of twenty-five. "The contract they asked me to sign was not to make me one of them, but to make me one of them. Buying out the copyright to my work."

"Can you imagine, I was like an idiot at the time. I signed the contract without even understanding it. I believed their high-sounding words and thought that after they bought my copyright, I would be able to have the words Huanying Media on my head. As soon as the work came out, I became a famous director from a newbie, so I didn't have to worry about resources and funds to make any movies in the future - but I never expected that when the movie was released, I would be nothing."

Li Heng listened carefully to all Yan Jibei's complaints and cries.

His thoughts were divided. He said "hmm" from time to time to let Yan Jibei know that he was listening, but at the same time he was thinking about whether this special person in the original plot could be used.
