"An inspirational film!" Lynch’s words made Sean’s eyes light up.
"Yes, yes, an inspirational film. Mr. Lynch, you described it perfectly. That’s exactly what I ant to convey!"
Sean’s mood improved a bit from earlier and he appeared sowhat excited, which is a common trait among cultured individuals.
They are very proud; even if they don’t show it, they’re proud inside. After all, during a ti when universities aren’t commonplace, cultural art is considered a high-class and tasteful thing.
Not everyone can understand what literary and artistic creators want to express, which makes them even prouder.
If you can’t even understand what I’m trying to convey, how could I possibly hold you in high regard?
This is probably their truest thought; outwardly humble, but inwardly proud.
Sean might even look down on young Fox, culturally speaking. If it weren’t to prove himself, he probably wouldn’t even bother to socialize here!
Fortunately, he ca and t a boss who understands him, and he seed to relax entirely.
Only "kindred spirits" can understand this feeling. He believes that Lynch can understand it too; in this filth-ridden society, only "kindred spirits" can comprehend one’s loneliness and solitude.
...
Sean is an interesting guy. He enjoys literary creation, wrote so pieces for submission and success during his student days, and received a lot of praise.
From that ti, he decided to embark on this particular path. After graduating from college, he began his unsuccessful creative journey.
For a full twenty years, he achieved nothing, at most writing so cheap articles for certain magazines, occasionally crafting so sensational fictional stories for third-rate magazines and newspapers to make ends et.
He has big ambitions and dreams. He also wants to beco a world-renowned author, becoming a celebrity eagerly sought after by people.
Twenty years without any success left him questioning what was wrong with the world after countless rejections.
The most dreadful thing was that his wife divorced him with their child a few years ago. The reason was that his wife wanted him to beco a damn plumber!
She wanted him to trade his noble pen for a wrench and beco a plumber!
He refused, leading to a huge fight between the couple, followed by a divorce.
He thought this incident would sadden him for a while. After all, losing soone who lived with you for over a decade suddenly is indeed a significant blow.
Even worse, he lost soone who took care of him in life, and everything seed to go wrong right after the divorce. He couldn’t even manage dinner on his own.
Until his current wife appeared, who is the younger sister of his ex-wife.
When she was young, she often lived with them because Sean worked at ho and had more ti to care for the family, so the younger sister stayed with them.
In the eyes of this young sister, Sean, her brother-in-law, is the most amazing person in the world.
He knew many interesting and magical stories and would tell them to her.
He created one fantastical world after another, yet no one seed to understand him!
Including her sister, who simply could not comprehend or understand the man’s talent and his heart, burning with fiery passion beneath his calm and indifferent exterior.
After the divorce, she resolutely threw herself into this "hotbed," destined to be a relationship—and possibly marriage—not blessed by others. Her father even showed up with a shotgun, giving Sean a good beating.
She believes he’ll succeed.
At the mont, the girl’s eyes only saw Sean, who was emanating a certain gleam.
"...Mr. Lynch, what you’ve said has deeply inspired . I think I’ve realized what’s been missing in these years!" Sean showed an excited expression, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.
He tightly gripped Lynch’s hand and didn’t want to let go. "How great it would have been if I had t you earlier!"
Lynch smiled, "It’s not too late now, Mr. Sean. As I said earlier, this is a great story. I believe it can inspire people to strive and fight to realize their dreams."
"It’s good because it’s closer to the lives of ordinary people."
"Literature doesn’t have to be incomprehensible. If literary creation is only for the author or a small group, it departs from the value of literature’s existence."
"Literature or anything derived from words is essentially there to serve all humankind. Only by being close to life can we discover the truths of life. The brilliance discovered in ordinary people can touch us all!"
"I think this project can proceed to filming. Let’s initiate it once we return!"
"But I have an idea, if we’re making a movie, I suggest changing the na of the film..." He held his drink and looked at the three people around him.
Sean had no objections, showing a look of keen interest.
"’After the Storm (A Rainbow After the Rain / The Sweetness After Adversity / A Light of Hope in Despair / ...)’"
If a person could shine, at this mont Lynch was radiating in Sean’s eyes, glowing like the Holy Father!
When he chose the na "Sunshine Future" he thought it already encapsulated the essence of his story well, inspiring a spirit of struggle with a sunny future.
But compared to Lynch’s "After the Storm," it falls short in terms of artistic conception!
"Mr. Lynch, this na is fantastic, it has given new ideas about so parts of the original script, I... might need to find so ti to revise the script," he said tactfully, looking at young Fox at the end, essentially asking if he could leave right now.
Young Fox frowned slightly, not fond of cooperating with these sowhat manic individuals, but considering that Lynch also favored the project, he hesitated a bit, "You can get a room, if I need you, I’ll call."
Sean nodded continuously, "Wonderful!" He looked at Lynch, "Mr. Lynch, you’ve given a lot of inspiration, you are remarkable, there are so many things pouring out of my mind right now, I must leave."
"After all this is over, I hope I can visit you, for an in-depth discussion!"
"No problem!" If you can find , that is.
Lynch shook hands with Sean and watched the two leave, young Fox’s expression wasn’t very pleasant, Sean’s abrupt departure left him embarrassed, after all, he was the boss and Sean was just an employee.
Leaving the boss behind to run away himself, he couldn’t be expected to be happy about that.
Lynch clinked glasses with him, "You need to think differently, such people are very controllable, you don’t have to worry about soone secretly poaching him, as long as you respect him, you can exploit him to your heart’s content."
"After using him..." he chuckled twice, "I think this project is viable, the investnt wouldn’t be particularly large, hire a director who films literature pieces to capture those highlights."
"By the way, you can take the script to apply for financial subsidies, the cultural folks would love this script!"
Once society begins to reboot, inspirational films will beco very popular.
The ergence of Nagariel has allowed the Federation’s economy to be well-regulated, coupled with the flowering of international trade, the recovery speed of various industries was slightly faster than imagined.
At this ti, the spirit of adventure still remains mainstream, but compared to genres like inspirational films that encourage people to strive and struggle, it’s slightly weaker.
The difference isn’t large, but the core inclinations differ.
The Federation Governnt would like this the, Lynch even thought it could be manipulated to beco an export film, to participate in film festivals worldwide, it holds great economic value, and through this film, propagate a "federal spirit".
After discussing with young Fox, he proactively left, he also had his own social engagents, and he had occupied too much of Lynch’s ti.
After young Fox left, more people ca over to chat with Lynch, many of whom Lynch didn’t know.
But this is Federation socializing; success always favors those who are courageous and prepared, if one doesn’t even dare to introduce themselves, they don’t deserve success.
Most of the people chatting with Lynch were in the art industry, with the majority being curators or investors from Bupen’s art galleries.
Bupen, as the Federation’s political, economic, and cultural center, is rich in artistic atmosphere, most artists strive to hold their personal art exhibitions in this city.
Where there’s artist demand, there will naturally be those who et their needs; this is the magic of the market.
As a result, various art galleries have sprung up, so quite famous, where the curator is a well-known figure in the art industry, and so even more renowned because they can invite heavyweight guests.
Many see art as sothing sacred and untouchable, mythologizing art as inherently noble.
But these people never understand, art essentially has no differentiation in high or low quality, whether it’s a hall-level piece or street-artist work, their artistic value isn’t asured by people’s "evaluation," but by the "price" hung beneath them.
Pricing supposedly sacred art with the dirtiest word from their mouths—money, this was an absurd proposition from the very start!
Yet this precisely becos proof of whether an artist is sufficiently famous—a piece that sells for ten dollars might co from an artist, but a piece that sells for a million absolutely cos from an artist!
If an art gallery can attract many wealthy and famous people, it undoubtedly elevates its status.
Currently, the most sensational among the Federation’s rich is Lynch, wherever Lynch goes is news; inviting him for a tour around their art gallery ans making the papers the next day!
Such an opportunity, those rchants nad art gallery curators would never let slip.
Previously there wasn’t an opportunity, but now that there is, they won’t back down!
