Chapter 212 Cognitive Awakening?

At Zhang Sheng's recommendation, Tom read a book called "Cognitive Awakening".

When he first read it, he just read it in a hurry and only remembered the contents of the book vaguely, and then he didn't pay much attention to it.

But when he stepped onto the stage, looking at the countless cheers and the pairs of admiring eyes below.

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

When he sat in the hotel with Avery Zashi, overlooking the beach below, drinking red wine, and listening to the translator talking about the content next to him, he suddenly felt that everything in front of him was actually just like that.

Under the moonlight.

The bottle of Romanee-Conti shone brightly.

He looked at the bottle.

The most expensive red wine in the world.

Right next to him.

He was invited by Avery Zashi to drink it.

Then...

He found that the taste of this red wine was similar to that of ordinary wine.

He looked at Avery Zashi's kind smile and talked to him about movies...

He and Avery Zashi could communicate completely, and there was no generation gap between the two.

Moreover...

The content he talked about was not difficult.

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

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people.

He can also talk about countless things.

The so-called art...

It's just like that.

Maybe, the world's famous red wine.

It's just an ordinary wine, but it's just hyped up.

Maybe...

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

He just talks a lot, and then he caught up with a good era. Maybe his family is relatively good. He was lucky enough to shoot a few well-received and popular movies, and he became a senior of many directors after some experience...

Then, he became 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 means the same thing!

At twelve o'clock in the evening...

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

Dirty...

The dirty things seemed to have stained his soul.

His noble soul should not have lived in such a lowly and low-level place.

He did not move in as usual, but simply booked a room in a hotel not far from Avery Zaxi...

The hotel price was very expensive, even scary.

He felt the pain, but he still moved in.

Under the influence of alcohol, he was drowsy, but he began to fall into deep thought. Maybe this is the so-called "cognitive awakening"?

He couldn't figure out why he was so different from Avery Zaxi.

A bottle of red wine!

More than 100,000 US dollars!

Their family's expenses for nearly ten years!

This world is very unequal...

While lying in bed, he felt the alcohol stimulating him. Looking back at the entire Academy Awards, he felt that he was the great contributor to the entire Academy Awards.

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

But he got very little, only the sporadic remuneration and endorsement fees...

A few months ago, he might have been ecstatic, but now, after seeing many rich people, he felt more and more that he got less!

Endorsement fee...

Yes!

Endorsement fee!

A few days ago, he received some calls from Huaxia, who invited him to be the spokesperson and offered him a lot of good prices.

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

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

He felt that he was just a tool, a tool that was squeezed and 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 unfair!

He called Zhang Sheng, and on the phone, he said everything he wanted to say in these days. After saying it, he felt a lot better.

"I should get more!"

After the call, he took a deep breath.

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

Tom thought of Avery Zashi inviting him to the Berlin International Film Festival in February next year...

His whole person swelled up instantly.

………………………………

“Have you asked someone to contact Tom?”

“Someone contacted your studio, but your studio didn’t accept it, and then that person contacted Tom…”

“Oh.”

Fat Xiaoan Restaurant.

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

Li Yanhong had almost finished eating, tidied her clothes, and carefully put the information in her bag.

Zhang Sheng looked at him silently.

“I said that some people are bound by interests and will also be disbanded because of interests. What you can provide to people is too little… When some people reach a certain level, you have to treat them as people, not tools…” After Li Yanhong finished cleaning up, she glanced at Zhang Sheng and said earnestly.

“Did Tom tell you a lot of things?” Zhang Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"There are no secrets under the sun..." Li Yanhong laughed, but her eyes were more serious, even sincere: "Zhang Sheng, I still think highly of you. If you figure it out or feel that you need to take a step forward, you can call me at any time..."

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

Zhang Sheng's face showed no other emotions, let alone a smile, but his expression gradually became serious.

"Sister Hong!"

"Hmm?"

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

"I am very happy to hear you say this, and I look forward to that day!"

"Well, this day should not 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 very serious.

She walked out of the box.

Then, she went to the front desk to pay the bill.

After paying the bill and going back, she remembered that Zhang Sheng had a share in this restaurant, and she had become a consumer of this restaurant without knowing it.

She shook her head and smiled helplessly.

The bustling restaurant was full of people.

About a few minutes later, Zhang Sheng walked out of the box, and then looked at the direction where 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 move forward, they always have all kinds of ideas.

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

Li Yanhong is at most a catalyst.

Stimulate the desires or contradictions deep in a person's heart, and at the right time, let a person start to lose himself in advance.

He watched Li Yanhong gradually disappear in the distance, and finally couldn't see her anymore.

His eyes were full of admiration...

She is a very strong person!

She can definitely be a helper!

But now...

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

In this world of capital where the strong prey on the weak, he is still at the bottom of the food chain.

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

On the bus, Zhang Sheng thought about what to do next.

He still has a debt of nearly two million.

But the debt pressure is not that heavy.

As long as he is given time, he will be able to completely forgive the debt.

He thought about the future trend...

Sometimes, I think people are 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, I will have a very strange desire, which is like a challenge, and this challenge inspires people to climb up.

He enjoys this climbing process.

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

He turned his head subconsciously...

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

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

And it seemed that this snow would get heavier and heavier. After the bus got off the station, the snow got heavier and heavier, and many people along the way held umbrellas.

At the school gate.

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

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

He held a notebook and couldn't wait to talk to Zhang Sheng about the series of market surveys he had done these days.

He opened the notebook and clicked on a document.

Zhang Sheng looked at the document very seriously. He found that Xu Bowen, who couldn't even type on the computer before, could now make a clear table.

From the beginning of December to now...

Whether it was windy or rainy, he had been doing what Zhang Sheng told him.

In subway stations, at the school gate, on the street...

He used the simplest and most simple methods to ask the simplest series of questions.

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

"I want to make a mobile phone!"

"Make it yourself and sell it yourself!"

"Young people pursue fashion and Apple phones. That is a trend. I think this trend will last for a long time..."

"A few days ago, I consulted the teachers in the school's legal department and asked them if I would infringe the copyright if I imitated the shell of the Apple phone. They said it was infringing in theory, but in fact it was not a big problem..."

"I also saw many mobile phone stores selling some fake mobile phones of unknown brands. Those fake mobile phones suddenly have many functions, but in fact, it is not difficult to assemble..."

"I have calculated that an Apple phone costs about 4,000 yuan, but if I use Guangdong and Huaqiangbei to assemble it, the same components cost a few hundred yuan, which may be cheaper..."

"That is the market, and that is even more profitable!"

"..."

Snow was falling in the sky.

Xu Bowen's eyes became brighter and brighter.

There was no longer any despair, decadence, or even grayness before.

Zhang Sheng looked at him seriously, nodded, and smiled with approval on his face: "So what are you going to do?"

In this world...

Some people are ordinary talents and seem to be difficult to open up.

But, as long as you are not an absolute fool, as long as you are willing to persist and keep doing one thing down to earth...

You will eventually make progress.

In the process of progress, you will suddenly have an epiphany...
