Hollywood companies bought the copyrights and made their own films . Then other countries had to pay five to six times the original price to buy the rights back . That was how strong Hollywood's industry and monopoly was .
This particular film had borrowed material from a Croatian illustration created by famous artist Milan Trenc . The original had been an illustrated book for children . Hollywood businessmen had the unerring ability to spot a good opportunity, but this would also bring good luck to the book, to some extent .
Qin Guan had decided to interpret the story as a classic work of art and create the best fantasyland for children .
The shooting site was like a small UN conference . People of different skin colors and ethnicities worked there . An assistant led Qin Guan to the director . The young man with the curly hair shook Qin Guan's hand excitedly .
"Nice to meet you . I thought you would be arriving later . "
"You are so kind . I am never late, unless there is an emergency . "
"Just head to the fitting room . We could film a simple shot so you can get a feel of the film . "
"Okay, see you later . "
As he looked at the protagonist, Director Shawn Levy felt a little worried about Qin Guan's looks . He was afraid that he might distract the audience from the film .
When Qin Guan walked out of the fitting room though, the Canadian director gasped . The actor was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, the favorite outfit of the average American . His black jacket made him look decadent . He looked like a total loser .
"Attention, everyone!" Shawn nodded at the old actress who would be participating in the scene . "Get into position! Three, two, camera!"
Qin Guan would be portraying a father who had failed both at his personal life and work . His wife had divorced him, so he was living with his 10-year-old son . The pressure of life had forced him to give up his dreams . He had to find a steady job in order to keep custody of his son .
Thus, he had appealed to the government for help . The bureau provided work opportunities for unemployed individuals . There, one could find information and job recommendations according to their work experience and educational background .
Qin Guan was looking for a job with a steady income .
He was not humble by any means though . He was a talented high-tech developer after all . Although his search hadn't been successful, he still held on to his dream .
He shared his dream with an employee who was as old as his grandmother .
"Debby? May I call you Debby?"
Qin Guan stared at her with a charming, affectionate smile .
"The first time I saw you, I felt really nice . I thought you had felt the same way . "
Silence .
"Nope . "
This was the first time a heartbreaker like Qin Guan was getting rejected in a film . Plus, the woman was almost 60 years old .
"I really need to work . If I don't find the right job, I don't know what I'll do . . . "
A woman's maternal instinct usually increased along with her age . Qin Guan got an offer . Every person Debby had recommended for that job so far had failed to get it . She just asked Qin Guan to try his luck .
"Thank you so much . "
The short scene ended .
"Cut! Good!"
Shawn gave Qin Guan a thumbs-up .
"Take a break . The next scene will take place in the museum . "
"No problem!"
Qin Guan turned around and stretched his elbow towards Debby .
"May I lead the way for you, my lady?"
"It would be my honor . "
