Chapter 1 I Want to Make a Movie

Lin Yu was born in 1984 into a relatively "wealthy" family in Kyoto, and from a young age, he was the "other people's child" that everyone talked about.

From the time Lin Yu started elementary school, he showed a different side from other children. Other children at this age basically spent their time playing or on their way to play, except for school time.

Lin Yu, however, stayed at home all day reading, which would normally be considered a good thing. But for a child around 10 years old, this seemed rather unusual.

This led Lin Yu's parents to believe that their child had autism, and they visited several well-known psychologists' clinics.

However, the final result was completely normal, which puzzled Lin Yu's parents. After their hair turned white, they finally gave up on "treatment" for Lin Yu and could only doubly love their child.

Lin Yu was also speechless with bitterness. From the time he inexplicably fell asleep and never woke up in his previous life to being reborn in this body where he was still in elementary school, Lin Yun was completely dumbfounded.

Who knows how he got here so inexplicably? So his first priority became adapting to his current life and then understanding the information at hand. After all, almost twenty years had passed, and his childhood memories had become very vague.

But Lin Yu, who was a director in his previous life, wanted to know the first thing he wanted to know about in this life: the three major European film festivals and the Oscars.

After all, he was a director in his previous life, so he still needed to pay attention to information about world-renowned awards to see if there were any differences from his previous life.

In my previous life, I visited Berlin and the Oscars around February, Cannes around May, and Venice around August.

The timing and focus of the event have not changed much.

The Oscar statuette focuses on the popularity of a film, but it's not a guaranteed win just because it's a box office hit. Instead, it's decided by a combination of audience votes and scores from the Academy committee. Of course, a high box office does offer some advantages.

The Golden Lion of Venice emphasizes innovation, encouraging filmmakers to create works with novel forms and unique techniques through various slogans.

The Berlin Golden Bear emphasizes the artistry of cinema, focusing on works that express political and social issues. Simply put, it refers to films that are not easily understood by the average person but have profound meaning.

The Palme d'Or in Cannes emphasizes the combination of commerce and art. To put it simply: half an Oscar and half a bear equals the Palme d'Or!

These four awards are known as the "World's Four Great Gold Awards" in Lin Yu's lifetime!

The highest expectation of Chinese entertainment industry now is to send that Golden Rooster Award to the world's four major gold awards and make it one of the "Big Five"!

Lin Yu said: You're dreaming!

However… if you can truly guarantee fairness and impartiality, there is still a tiny… sliver of a possibility.

But whenever Lin Yu thought of the golden rooster from his previous life, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, the control over the Golden Rooster in China is still relatively strict, at least for now. If it can continue like this, Lin Yu wouldn't mind contributing his efforts, as long as it doesn't repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

Furthermore, when Lin Yu learned about this information, he had a rather "cringey" thought. If the world's four major gold medals really did become five in the future, could he also contribute to the process of its success? Even if it's just a dream, shouldn't it be a good dream?

After all, in his previous life he was a failed director in the entertainment industry, spending his whole life in a mediocre position, which was no different from a wasted life!

Since God has given him a second chance, shouldn't he be allowed to be a little "adolescent" once in a while?

So after he fully integrated into this world, he began to absorb all the knowledge and information about the entertainment industry. As he became more and more immersed in the pleasure of absorbing knowledge, his parents directly treated him as an autistic child and took him to a psychologist!

At that moment, Lin Yu was completely devastated, but he soon realized that his situation was indeed inappropriate for his age. So, amidst his helplessness, he slowly became "someone else's child"!

He consistently ranked first in exams and was a model student year after year. In addition to academic subjects, his parents enrolled him in various arts classes, such as music and art, fully demonstrating what it means to have high hopes for one's son.

So Lin Yu slowly spent his 18th year taking the college entrance examination amidst the praise of others and the expectations of his parents!

Lin Yu, the "other people's child" who was highly anticipated by his own parents, experienced his father's "physical love" for the first time in June 2002!

"Why did you have to go to an arts school instead of a perfectly good university! I was wondering what you were doing so mysteriously last winter, turns out you went to take the entrance exam? What were you thinking!"

Lin's father scolded Lin Yu in front of him with a look of disappointment, while Lin's mother gritted her teeth and did not soften her stance to speak up for Lin Yu this time.

"Dad, Mom, I want to learn acting! I love it. Please let me go!" Lin Yu replied softly, head down.

"you…"

Lin's parents were taken aback as they looked at their son, who was expressing his opposition to them for the first time. For a moment, they were at a loss for words.

"Mom and Dad, I know you mean well, wanting me to go to a good university and find a good job after graduation. But I believe the path I've chosen will lead to a better life. Please trust me this time; your son has never let you down, and he certainly won't this time!" Lin Yu slowly raised his head, looked at his parents, and said with a firm smile:

Looking at Lin Yu's smiling face, Lin's father suddenly felt that the son in front of him was a little unfamiliar.

"Sigh... Fine! Go if you want! If you want to..." Lin's father thought for a moment, but in the end he didn't say the rest of his words. He turned around and went outside to light a cigarette.

"Xiaoyu, are you hungry? Mom will make you some food. Your dad was so rough, does it still hurt?" Lin's mother stroked the spot where Lin Yu had just been groped by Lin's father and said with concern.

"I'm fine, Mom! I want to eat tomato and egg today," Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, Mom will do it for you. Just massage it a lot and make sure it doesn't swell up."

"Um…"

After barely managing to get her parents' consent, Lin Yu, under the astonished gazes of her neighbors, was admitted to the "artistic mecca" of Beijing Film Academy with a score of over 600 in her academic subjects.

2002 was a rather special year for the Chinese film industry, because this year Zhang Yimou would bring his film "Hero" to usher in the era of blockbuster films in China!

Moreover, after Zhang Yimou's "Hero" grossed 2.5 million yuan at the box office, many of China's top directors couldn't sit still and thought that if they made a "blockbuster" themselves, it would definitely not be worse than Zhang Yimou's.

Thus, directors with this mindset began to add all sorts of bizarre and outlandish films to China's "bad movie library."
