Rebirth: Illuminating a Brilliant Life

Once she received the copyright fee, Su Xuan immediately contacted Meng Jiawei and Cheng Ran, inviting them to dinner at a cozy private restaurant.

When Meng Jiawei and Cheng Ran entered the private room and saw the table full of exquisite dishes and Su Xuan's radiant smile, they couldn't help but cheer.

Su Xuan excitedly raised her drink, her eyes sparkling: "We really owe you all this time. Without you, the script wouldn't have gone so smoothly. This first drink is a toast to our friendship!" The three of them downed their drinks in one gulp, their laughter echoing in the private room.

After a few rounds of drinks, Su Xuan took out two exquisite gift boxes from her bag and handed them to Meng Jiawei and Cheng Ran respectively: "These are small gifts I prepared for you, a little something from me." Meng Jiawei opened one and saw a physics experiment kit he had long admired, and he exclaimed with delight. Cheng Ran received a set of precious literary classics, and he looked at Su Xuan with emotion: "You always understand me so well."

Then, they started talking about the copyright issue. Su Xuan said with emotion, "When I saw the copyright fee arrive in my account, I truly felt like it was all a beautiful dream. But this is just the beginning, and I hope this script can be presented well."

Meng Jiawei patted his chest and said, "Of course! With our efforts, this script will definitely be a huge success. Then, just wait for the royalties and accolades." Cheng Ran nodded in agreement, "Yes, we still need to polish it to make it even more perfect."

They ate and chatted, reminiscing about everything from when they first learned about the script adaptation to now. Those heated discussions and occasional arguments have now become fond memories.

Su Xuan laughed and said, "I remember when we first started discussing this, our ideas were all over the place, but I didn't expect them to come together so well in the end." Meng Jiawei joked, "That's because we're all geniuses, haha."

After dinner, they walked out of the restaurant, a night breeze blowing. Su Xuan gazed at the starry sky, her eyes full of longing: "I hope our script can shine like a star in the sky of film and television."

Meng Jiawei and Cheng Ran stood on either side of her and said in unison, "We definitely will!" The three of them cast long shadows under the streetlights. They knew that there was still a long road ahead, but they were confident that they would face it together.

Su Xuan excitedly sent a message in the group: "Friends! The copyright fee has arrived! This is the result of our joint efforts!"

Upon hearing the news, Dong Haoying immediately replied: "Wow! That's amazing! It feels like a dream. Our efforts have paid off in a real way."

Chen Yanzhu excitedly typed, "My dears, this is what we deserve! All our wisdom and hard work are in it." Chen Cheng sent a confetti emoji, "This is an affirmation of our team, we can celebrate!"

Rong Yixin and You Siqi chatted excitedly, discussing how to use the money for something fun, such as buying books or software related to film and television creation to become more professional and prepare for their next project.

Su Xuan thought that since everyone wanted to continue creating, they should set up a studio. However, since they were still high school students, they should save the money first.

Su Xuan's suggestion caused a brief silence in the group chat, followed by a heated discussion.

“Set up a studio? That’s such a cool idea!” Dong Haoying responded first. “However, we really need to focus on our studies right now, so saving the money is a wise choice.”

Chen Yanzhu also agreed: "Yes, we can't let creative work interfere with our studies. We should save the money first, and when we have more time and energy, the studio can become a place where we can really showcase our talents."

Chen Cheng said excitedly, "Then we need to come up with a good name for the studio and plan its future development direction." Rong Yixin and You Siqi also started chattering and imagining what the studio would look like in the future.

So, they deposited the copyright fees into a special account, named after their chosen temporary studio name – "Starry Dream Boat." This name symbolizes their intention to sail on a dream boat through the vast starry sky, chasing their own starlight.

Despite their heavy academic workload, they did not stop planning for their future studio.

In their spare time, they discussed the studio's positioning through online meetings. They decided that the studio should focus on the creation and adaptation of film and television scripts related to youth themes, because this was the area they were most familiar with and had the most feelings about.

Su Xuan used her weekends to learn business knowledge and how to operate a studio, including financial management and project planning.

Meng Jiawei and Cheng Ran studied successful cases of similar studios in the market, analyzing their work styles and operating models. Dong Haoying, Chen Yanzhu, Chen Cheng, Rong Yixin, and You Siqi also used their respective strengths to collect more story materials on youth themes to prepare for future creations.

Whenever someone encounters difficulties in their studies or life and wants to give up, they will think of that common dream – the "Starry Dream Boat" studio.

This dream is like a lighthouse in the darkness, giving them strength and enabling them to remain steadfast in their goals despite the pressures of high school life, waiting for the right opportunity to set sail on their dream journey.

The parents were initially surprised when they found out. They hadn't expected their children to have planned so meticulously and to be so enthusiastic about setting up a studio.

Some parents are worried that their children will be distracted by the studio, which could affect their college entrance examination, a crucial turning point in their lives.

Su Xuan's mother then convened a small parent-teacher meeting with the other parents, where everyone expressed their concerns.

However, after parents carefully reviewed their children's plans, they discovered that their children were far more mature than they had imagined.

Meng Jiawei's father suggested that the children could try making some simple plans first, but only if it didn't interfere with their studies, and that parents would be involved in supervising. This suggestion was accepted by everyone.

So, the parents and children sat down together to re-examine the plans for the "Dream Ship" studio.

Based on their own experience, the parents offered some practical suggestions, such as taking into account market risks, not just focusing on creation, but also having an awareness of publicity and promotion; and in terms of financial management, establishing strict accounts and recording every expenditure.

The children listened attentively and wrote down all the suggestions.

Chen Yanzhu's father also contacted his friends in the film and television industry to secure some internship opportunities for the children, allowing them to experience the real film and television production process during their holidays and gain a better understanding of the industry.

With the support and participation of parents, the "Starry Dream Boat" studio's plans have become more comprehensive.

The children's studies didn't fall behind either; they encouraged each other, treating learning as an accumulation of energy for their dreams. Whenever they got good exam results, they felt they were one step closer to establishing the studio.
