I have to teach the world a lesson.

Chapter 211 Cognitive Awakening?

On the recommendation of Zhang Sheng, Tom read a book called "Awakening of Cognition".

When I first read it, I swallowed it whole, just half-understood the content of the book, and then I didn't pay much attention to it.

But when I got on that stage, I saw the countless cheers and the worshiping eyes below.

In a trance, he felt that he suddenly understood a lot of things...

When he was sitting in the hotel with Avery Tashi, overlooking the beach below, drinking red wine, and listening to the translator chatting next to him, he suddenly felt that everything in front of him was actually nothing more than that.

under the moonlight.

Romanée-Conti bottles shine.

He looks at the bottle.

The world's most expensive red wine.

right next to me.

He was invited to drink by Avery Tashi.

then……

He found that the red wine tasted similar to ordinary wine.

He looked at Avery Tashi's kind smile and chatted with him about movies...

He and Avery Tashi can communicate completely, and there is no vague generation gap between them.

and……

What he talked about wasn't too difficult.

The structure, artistry, lens of the film, representative meaning of the film...

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people.

He can also say countless things along with it.

so called art...

Nothing more than that.

Perhaps, the world famous red wine.

It's just ordinary wine that's just been stir-fried.

Maybe……

The so-called film critic Avery Tashi is a little old man.

It's just that I talked a lot, and then I caught up with a good era. Maybe my family background itself was relatively good. I was lucky enough to make a few well-received and popular movies.

Then, he becomes a so-called critic.

The so-called [Southern California International Film Awards], the so-called [Berlin International Film Festival], the so-called [Cannes International Film Festival]...

Everything has one meaning!
twelve o'clock at night...

He came back from the Avery Tashi Hotel and returned to the dilapidated house.

dirty……

Something dirty seemed to stain his soul.

His noble soul should not have lived in such a lowly place.

Instead of staying in as usual, he simply opened a room in a hotel not far from Avery Tashi...

Hotel prices are expensive, even scary.

He felt pain in his flesh, but he lived in anyway.

Under the influence of alcohol, he was groggy, but instead he began to fall into deep thought. Maybe this is the so-called "cognitive awakening"?
It made him wonder why there were so many differences between himself and Avery Tashi.

A bottle of red wine!
More than one hundred thousand dollars!

Their family, close to more than ten years of expenses!
The world is very unequal...

While lying on the bed, he felt the stimulation of alcohol, and looking back at the entire Academy Awards, he felt that he was the main contributor to the entire Academy Awards.

He helped with the work, he read the lines, he pulled a group of people to help form the public judges, taught them what to do and when to do it...

But what he got was very little, only the sporadic remuneration, and the endorsement fee...

A few months ago, he might have been ecstatic, but now, after seeing a lot of rich people, he feels more and more that he is getting less!

endorsement fee...

Correct!
endorsement fee!
A few days ago, he received some calls from Huaxia, who invited him to speak in the past, and offered him a lot of good prices.

The other party said that they had approached [NC Studio], but the studio had no intention of cooperating with them.

Tom was not in the right mood at the time, a little depressed and vaguely angry.

He felt that he was a tool, a tool to be squeezed, to be squeezed hard!
The next day, when he got up, he drank some red wine, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was unfair!

He called Zhang Sheng. During the phone call, he said everything he wanted to say these days. After saying it, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"I should have gotten more!"

After the phone call, he took a deep breath.

I know Avery Tashi, I have the same status as him, and now I am also a world-renowned film critic!

Tom thought of Avery Tashi inviting him to the Berlin International Film Festival next February...

His whole body instantly swelled up.

....................................

"Have you had someone contact Tom?"

"Someone contacted your studio, but your studio didn't accept it. Then, that person contacted Tom..."

"Oh."

Fat Xiaoan Restaurant.

Zhang Sheng sat on the chair and glanced at Li Yanhong.

Li Yanhong had almost eaten, tidied up her clothes, and carefully put the materials in her bag.

Zhang Sheng looked at him silently.

"I said that some people are bound by their interests, and they will also be dismissed because of their interests. There are too few things you can provide to others... When a certain person reaches a certain level, you have to treat him as a human being, but Not as a tool..." After finishing packing, Li Yanhong glanced at Zhang Sheng and said earnestly.

"Tom told you a lot?" Zhang Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"Under the sun, there are no secrets..." Li Yanhong laughed, but her eyes were more serious, even sincere: "Zhang Sheng, I am still very optimistic about you. If there are steps, you can call me anytime..."

Li Yanhong stood up and looked at Zhang Sheng for a moment.

There was no other emotion on Zhang Sheng's face, let alone a smile, but his expression gradually became serious.

"Miss Hong!"

"Ok?"

"I believe that one day in the future, we will become partners!"

"I'm so glad to hear that from you, I look forward to that day!"

"Well, this day shouldn't be too long..."

Li Yanhong laughed after hearing this, stretched out her hand, and shook hands with Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng's hand was very warm.

Zhang Sheng's expression was serious.

She walked out of the box.

Then, go to the front desk to settle the bill.

After paying the bill and going back, she remembered that Zhang Sheng owns shares in this restaurant, and she became a customer of this restaurant without knowing it.

She shook her head and smiled helplessly.

A bustling restaurant, packed with people.

A few minutes later, Zhang Sheng walked out of the box, and then looked in the direction Li Yanhong left.

He was not angry because of what Li Yanhong did.

There are always so many temptations in this world.

Sometimes, when some people are moving forward, they always have various ideas.

This kind of thinking makes it impossible for them to follow the path set by others and go all the way down.

Li Yanhong is at best a catalyst.

Inspire a person's deepest desires or contradictions, and at the right time, make a person lose himself in advance.

He watched Li Yanhong gradually disappear into the distance, and finally disappeared.

His eyes are full of admiration...

She is a strong person!
She can be a help!
but now……

Indeed, as Li Yanhong said, his capital is too little.

In this capitalist world where the jungle preys on the strong, he is still at the bottom of the food chain.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Sheng got on the bus.

In the car, Zhang Sheng was thinking about what to do next.

He still has nearly 200 million debts.

It's just that the debt pressure is not so heavy.

As long as he is given time, he can completely cancel the debt.

He thinks about the general trend of the future...

Sometimes, people feel really amazing.

When standing at the top of the food chain, I feel a sense of loneliness...

But when standing at the bottom of the food chain, there will be a very strange desire. This desire seems to be a challenge, and this challenge inspires people to climb up.

He enjoyed the climbing process very much.

Just when Zhang Sheng was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a scream in the bus...

He subconsciously turned his head...

He saw a few young people pointing out the window excitedly, looking at the snowflakes outside the window like a child who has never seen the world...

Zhang Sheng turned his head and looked at Yanjing, which hadn't snowed for a long time, and it seemed to be snowing.

Moreover, it seemed that the snow would get bigger and bigger. After the bus got off the stop, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and many people along the way took up umbrellas.

School gate.

Zhang Sheng saw Xu Bowen standing and chatting with the security guards.

When he saw Zhang Sheng approaching, his eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted him.

Holding his notebook, he couldn't wait to chat with Zhang Sheng about the series of market research he had done these days.

He opened his notebook, and then clicked on a document.

Zhang Sheng looked at the document very seriously, and he found that Xu Bowen, who could not even type on a computer before, actually made the form clearly.

From the beginning of December until now...

Whether it is windy or rainy, he has been doing what Zhang Sheng told him.

Subway stations, school gates, streets...

He asked the simplest series of questions in the simplest and simplest way.

It was unnatural at first, but after persisting for a long time, everything became the most natural.

"I want to be a mobile phone!"

"Make it yourself, sell it yourself!"

"Young people are chasing trends and pursuing Apple mobile phones. That is a trend. I think this trend will continue for a long, long time..."

"A few days ago, I asked the teachers in the legal department of the school to ask if I would infringe on the copyright if I imitated the shell of an Apple mobile phone. They are infringing in theory, but in fact it is not a big problem..."

"I've also seen a lot of mobile phone stores selling fake mobile phones of other brands. Those fake mobile phones suddenly have many functions, but in fact, its assembly is not difficult..."

"I have calculated that an Apple mobile phone costs about 4000 yuan, but if I assemble it in Guangdong or Huaqiangbei, the same components cost several hundred yuan, which may be cheaper..."

"That's the market, and that's the profit!"

"..."

In the sky, there is snow.

Xu Bowen's eyes became brighter and brighter.

The despair, decadence, and even grayness of the past are completely gone.

Zhang Sheng looked at him seriously, nodded, with a smile of approval on his face: "Then what are you going to do?"

In this world...

Some people have mediocre talents, and it seems that it is difficult to get the hang of them.

But, as long as you are not an absolute fool, as long as you are willing to persevere and keep doing one thing in a down-to-earth manner...

You will eventually improve.

As you progress, you have sudden epiphanies...
