for example, Xú Zhēng.

He started acting, and made some money after he played Pig. Then he made more contact with people in fund investment banks and listened to their views on investment and economy. He also voted for whatever they invested, and he also bought a house when they bought it. Only then did he earn the first bucket of gold, and then he slowly invested in making his own movies.

so there is nothing wrong with wanting to go up, and there is nothing wrong with taking it seriously.
