Chapter 448 The Way of Success
There are many successful people in the world, but compared to the majority of mediocre people, successful people are still a minority.

Therefore, many people are superstitious about these successful people and try to copy their successful experiences.

It is also because of this psychological need that many so-called success gurus have emerged. In North America, there are many such success gurus who teach people how to succeed.

They constantly use the stories of successful people to promote their own theories of success and then make money, but they don't actually teach people how to achieve success.

Everyone knows that success is the result of hard work and talent, and later on, they also learn that connections and family background are necessary, but people usually don’t talk about the most fundamental reasons for the success of successful people.

The thing that is hateful about many success gurus is that they usually delete many important conditions and simplify many details of success.

These gurus do not want to give heartfelt speeches to their followers, or it can be said that these success gurus have never been successful at all.

Many success gurus often use examples of successful people to fool others. The most commonly used example is Little Gilbert.

This was Guo Fan’s first time in North America. A few weeks had passed since the fake student incident, and things were as chaotic in China as if a storm had passed through.

The five students who stayed in North America were able to survive. Minister Tian praised them for sticking to their original intentions and told them to study hard here and have a bright future when they return.

With this guarantee, the five students felt relieved.

Otherwise, if something happened to the twenty or so people but the five of them were fine, they would immediately become thorns in the eyes of others when they returned, and would definitely be suppressed and banned.

Don't doubt it. This is a world where light and dust coexist. If most people do something that you don't, then you are wrong.

So sometimes it’s very strange. Everyone is doing something bad, but you didn’t do it based on your conscience and the rules, and then you are the one who is wrong, and you have no place to seek justice.

But now there seems to be no such worry. Guo Fan received a call from his good friend Liu Ji, who said that the entertainment industry is now in a state of panic and all the dishonest people have been dealt with.

When Guo Fan returns, not to mention that the entertainment and film and television circles will be bright and clear, at least he won’t have to worry about being banned by the so-called small circle.

Because those who can be banned are in jail, those who quit the circle quit. The rest are all cowards, and they will probably be quiet for several years.

Liu Ji also said: "Lao Guo, I really admire you, you are so determined and persistent.

I had advised you to give the place to those rich and powerful people, but I didn't expect this to happen. I'm sorry."

When the domestic group gathered to come to the United States, although Guo Fan had qualified, many people coveted Guo Fan's spot and wanted to buy it.

Liu Ji also advised Guo Fan that after all, he would still have to work in the country in the future and he could not offend these people.

But he didn't expect Guo Fan to be so tough and refused to give in. Liu Ji thought that his good brother would be banned by these people in the future.

Liu Ji was still a little angry, thinking that Guo Fan was very stubborn. He should have known not to give him this opportunity.

But Liu Ji was dumbfounded when he didn't expect things to turn out like this. In this way, Guo Fan not only did not lose the opportunity to study in the United States, but also did not have to worry about being banned after returning.

Liu Ji quickly apologized to his good brother and asked for some advice: "How did you know that Director Gilbert Jr. would definitely investigate this matter?"

Guo Fan smiled bitterly and said, "How can I judge? I just stick to my own ideas and don't want to be a person who goes along with the crowd.

As for Director Gilbert Jr., he is not what we call an insider, so he certainly won’t tolerate such a bad habit.”

Guo Fan said that he understood Gilbert Jr., even if he really didn't care about the academic performance of these Chinese students.

But this kind of deceptive behavior cannot be tolerated.

In ancient China, deceiving the emperor was a serious crime. Big men hated being deceived the most. Little Gilbert's reaction was already considered small.

It's just that it does affect the international image, so the country has to deal with it seriously. Otherwise, these monsters will probably continue to jump around, and that will be the end of Guo Fan.

After studying here for so many days, Guo Fan felt that although he may not have learned other skills, his English level has improved a lot. He also heard a lot about Little Gilbert from others, and the image of the mysterious Little Gilbert has gradually become complete.

Among the five students with Guo Fan, there was one named Li Haoyang, who was one of the few who passed the assessment and obtained the qualification based on his own ability without any connections.

He and Guo Fan had a very pleasant conversation, and the two also worked together in the director team, and their work overlapped a lot.

Just then, Alfonso Cuarón, Tsui Hark, and Jackie Chan were discussing the filming method, and the two of them slipped out.

"Working all day is really tiring." Li Haoyang cleaned under his butt and sat down without caring whether it was clean or not.

"But I also gained a lot," said Guo Fan, who was sitting next to him. "I learned a lot during these days of studying on the crew, which I didn't learn in the film school."

Li Haoyang shook his head and said, "But are these things we learned really useful? Can we use them when we go back? Look at Ma Qiang and the other three, they are so relaxed.

Ma Qiang even wanted to date a foreign girl, but she thought he was too young and dumped him. "

Guo Fan was speechless, but still advised: "We are in the director team, so of course we work harder than them, and we are also in contact with the most core department of Hollywood movies.

They can study carelessly, but we can’t.”

Guo Fan still has some sense of responsibility. Now that things are so chaotic back home, they are the only ones who are fine. Isn't this shouldering responsibility? They must study hard!

Guo Fan added: "Besides, Ma Qiang is very serious. Every day after work, when he returns to the hotel, I see him writing things in his notebook.

But sometimes you really can’t change your bad habits, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

In the film and television industry, Guo Fan is an ordinary person. Li Haoyang is a little better. It is said that his father used to work in a film studio.

Like the twenty or so people who were deported, Ma Qiang and the other two have families that have influence in the film and television industry.

The difference is that these three actually have some real substance, and their answers may be more in line with what little Gilbert wants.

In fact, compared to the crew of "The Mystery of the Talisman", which has a strong Chinese cultural flavor, Guo Fan would rather go to the crew of Little Gilbert and learn from him.

But opportunities like this to join Gilbert's crew don't come around every day, especially for outsiders like them.

At this time, Guo Fan envied those seniors who had worked on the "Lord of the Rings" crew. They had the opportunity to work on such a great project.

Guo Fan watched all the trilogies in the cinema. At that time, he was very curious about how such films were made.

He also went to the filming location of "The Lord of the Rings" to see the holy land in the project. But the things in the holy land are a bit expensive, whether it is water or food.

The two were chatting when someone suddenly said, "Director Gilbert Jr. is here?"

"Really?" Guo Fan and Li Haoyang looked in the direction of the voice, and sure enough, little Gilbert came again.

Both "The Mystery of the Spell" and "The Invincible" were filmed in the same studio. As the producer of "The Mystery of the Spell", Gilbert Jr. would come over to check on the situation at any time.

Just then little Gilbert came over, and Guo Fan and Li Haoyang hurried to greet him.

Little Gilbert simply nodded, showing his concern for the students' studies: "How are you doing on the set?"

Guo Fan smiled shyly: "Not bad, I learned a lot of useful knowledge that I can't learn from books."

"Very good," Little Gilbert sighed, "Old Tianshang asked you to come here in the hope of communicating and at least gaining some knowledge. What a pity!"
