When Xu Zhengdao saw Liu Dehua intending to support the new director, he felt his eyes lit up and hurriedly read the content of the report.

The newspaper read: "The afternoon before yesterday, at the press conference of "Asian New Star Director", Liu Dehua announced as the owner of the film company that he would cooperate with satellite TV to invest in six young Asian directors, including Huang Jingfu, Lin Zicong, Li Yunchan and others to shoot six Chinese high-definition films. The budget for the six films invested in liquid funds is between 25 million and 35 million, and two films will be started in June. Liu Dehua said that in addition to making commercial films, he also aims to cultivate new directors. Even if he only has one yuan left, he will take it.

Come and make a movie. He had said before that he wanted to increase his pay for filming as an investment in filming, but after receiving three movies in the past three months, no one gave him a bonus, so he could only use part of his pay to subsidize. For this reason, Andy Lau smiled and asked the directors in the audience to be careful of making good movies. He also joked that investing in a few newcomers was like "raising orphans". I raised them, just like my mother raised me, and I hope that someone would raise me one day. In fact, my requirements for them are so low. If you ask me to open a window, it would be fine to throw a bunch of money out like this.

As the producer of "Asian New Star Director" who supports the filming of young Asian directors, Liu Dehua said that among the directors selected this time, there were originally mainland directors, and they chose Lu Chuan, but after winning two international awards, he no longer considered making small-cost movies, so mainland directors can only be vacant. However, we are currently actively contacting Tian Shishi and Director Gu Changwei, hoping that they can recommend several good directors for us to complete this plan."

Xu Zhengdao was immediately excited. Liu Dehua was contacting Director Tian Zhuanzhang and Director Gu Changwei, hoping that they would recommend several young directors to him to complete the plan. This was simply a chance to come to my door! Leave the script in my hand to Teacher Tian, ​​ask him to help me make recommendations, and hand the script to Liu Dehua, then I may get an investment.

In fact, "No. 32 in Area B" does not require investment, and Xu Zhengdao has enough funds to complete the filming. However, the benefits of joining the new star director plan are very obvious. The new star director plan is created by Liu Dehua and will gain enough exposure. The movie has the opportunity to be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. It can also take advantage of the Liu Dehua line to greatly expand your network.

Therefore, he made a quick decision and decided to win a quota for the new star guide program.

Xu Zhengdao returned to his dormitory, took the USB flash drive, and went to the printing shop to print three scripts. After the school teacher went to work, he came to the watch guide building and walked into the field-shaped office.

"Zhengdao, you kid haven't done your homework well recently. I'm just looking for you, but you came to your door by yourself." Tian Jingzhang was reading the newspaper in the office with his legs crossed his legs. He looked up and saw Xu Zhengdao, and he raised his face.

"Teacher Tian, ​​I'm here to find you for homework today." Xu Zhengdao put the script of "No. 32, Area B" in front of Tian Jingshi and said with a smile, "This is a script I wrote recently, a very creative script. I'm going to make this script into a long film."

Tian Zhizhe glanced at the name of the script, No. 32, Area B, and asked, "What do you mainly talk about in this script?" He reached out to the chair next to him and pointed: "Sit down and say."

Xu Zhengdao pulled open the chair, sat down, and told Tian Jingshi his script: "Teacher Tian, ​​you know "The Witch Blair". My movie is Haitang Guo's version of "The Witch Blair", a pseudo-documentary. However, in terms of shooting techniques, unlike "The Witch Blair", "The Witch Blair" uses handheld photography shooting methods, and "The Blair B District 32" also has handheld lenses, but they are mainly shot from a surveillance perspective. The story mainly tells the story of abnormal phenomena in the room where several Nordic graduates lived. The male and female protagonists suspected that there were ghosts in the room, so they decided to place a camera in the bedroom to capture potential weird phenomena. Finally, they found that there were ghosts in the room. In terms of shooting techniques, this drama is relatively unique and innovative."

Tian Jiezhang frowned when he heard Xu Zhengdao preparing to shoot ghost stories: "Don't you know that there are no ghosts in domestic film and television works? Your story cannot be released at all. Who dares to invest in you?"

Xu Zhengdao smiled and said, "I know, that's why I came to find you."

Tian Jingzhang smiled bitterly and said, "I was banned at the beginning, so I can't help with this."

Xu Zhengdao knew that the situation of the field was misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "That's right. I just read the newspaper and saw Liu Dehua having a new Asian star director plan. He was originally planning to find a director investment in the mainland, but he did not find a suitable candidate. Now the mainland director is still vacant. He said he is contacting you and Gu Changwei, hoping that you would recommend young directors to complete this plan. I would like to ask you to recommend me and show my script to Liu Dehua."

Tian Jingxiao suddenly realized that he understood why Xu Zhengdao was looking for him, but he shook his head: "It's okay to recommend you, but you are a ghost movie and cannot be released in the mainland. Liu Dehua invested money to the new director, and he definitely hoped that there would be rewards. If you shoot it, you will not be released at all, and the money is like wasted. I think Liu Dehua would not choose your story."

Xu Zhengdao knew that this was difficult, but he didn't want to miss this opportunity: "It is precisely because the possibility of being released in the mainland is relatively small that I hope to join the New Star Guide Program. Because Liu Dehua belongs to Xiangjiang and has strong connections in Xiangjiang. If he can join the New Star Guide Program, "Zone B No. 32" can be released in Xiangjiang, Taiwan, and even Southeast Asia through Liu Dehua's relationship."

Tian Zhishi thinks Xu Zhengdao thinks things are too simple: "The Xiangjiang film market is shrinking sharply now, and the market is very small. The possibility of relying on the Xiangjiang market alone is very small. If the mainland cannot be released, I think the possibility of him investing money is very small."

Xu Zhengdao said confidently: "Our movie only needs to invest 100,000 yuan, and it should be no problem to recover."

The field was a little surprised: "The cost is so low?"

Xu Zhengdao nodded and said, "The movie set is very simple. It is in a room with very few actors. It is filmed using DV, does not require film, does not pursue light and shadow effects, and does not rent expensive lighting equipment, so the cost is very low."

The field was confused and said, "You can make up for 100,000 yuan by yourself, right?"

Xu Zhengdao smiled and said, "I can indeed take out this money myself, but if I pay for it, it will be more difficult to release it in the cinema, and I may not even have the opportunity to release it. If we can join the new star director program, then our movie will have the opportunity to release, at least in Xiangjiang."

As a teacher, Tian Zhizhang hopes that his students can become famous in the circle and make a world. He is very willing to help students: "I will hand over your script to Liu Dehua and recommend it to Liu Dehua. But you also know that a group of directors in Beijing Film Academy graduates every year, and most of them fail to get opportunities and are looking for investment. For them, new star directors are an opportunity. They will also try every means to hand the script to Liu Dehua, and some of them may find me. As long as they are excellent enough, I will definitely recommend it. I can't guarantee whether you and your script can stand out and get a new star director quota."

Xu Zhengdao nodded and said, "I know this. This time, experts from all walks of life gathered to compete for the only place. Among these opponents, there may be my classmates, my senior brother, and other experts from other schools. They are all very strong. It is difficult to defeat them and stand out, and it is normal to win or lose."

Tian Zhishi was very satisfied with Xu Zhengdao's mentality: "It's good that you can think so. Movies are an art of compromise. From early investment to shooting, to filming, to film review, and to final release, you will encounter many problems and encounter countless troubles. When it is time to persevere, we must persist; when it is time to compromise, we must also understand how to compromise. Directors are very tired professions, and you must know how to keep a normal mind and face difficulties with a relaxed attitude, otherwise you will be very tired."

Xu Zhengdao smiled and said, "Thank you, Teacher Tian. I must keep my mind calm."

Tian Jingzhang smiled and said, "If you are not shortlisted for the new star director, what are you going to do?"

Xu Zhengdao said firmly: "I will use my own money to shoot it and then send it to a foreign film festival to try it. I heard that there are film festivals abroad that specialize in screenings of fantasy and horror films, and some major film festivals also have special horror film units. If they are sent to a film festival, they may recover the cost. If they are lucky and meet a producer who likes my talents, the financial problem for my next film will be solved."

Tian Jingzhang smiled and nodded: "It seems that you really think about what to do and are ready to do a big fight."

Xu Zhengdao thought to himself, there is nothing I can do. I have to complete the first movie transformation within a year. He took a light breath and said, "I originally wanted to study hard in school for a year or two and settled down before I started making movies, but recently I had a strong impulse to create, so I decided to start working. Because it was the first movie, I lacked confidence and wanted to ask Teacher Tian to help me read the script and check it out."

"Will you, a bold boy, lack confidence? Just pretend for me! You have brought all the scripts, so I will read the script first, and then chat with you after reading the script." Tian Jingzhang smiled, picked up the script of "No. 32 in Area B", and took another pen, and made comments while slowly reading.

Tian Zangzhe likes Xu Zhengdao very much, thinks he has a lot of ideas and thinks he will become a promising director. Now that he helps Xu Zhengdao to keep the script in mind, he is naturally very attentive. He repeatedly pours every paragraph and every line of the script, and he even stops to think about what to do if he is.

Xu Zhengdao was originally quite relaxed and was very confident in his script. However, seeing Tian Shi was so serious and solemn, he couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking that the script of "No. 32 in Area B" is OK, why did Teacher Tian look like this expression?

After almost an hour and a half, Tian Jingzhang finally finished reading the script. He handed the annotated script to Xu Zhengdao and said seriously: "The script is good in general, quite unique, and scary. When I read it, I feel a chill in my back. Scary stories of horror movies are basic requirements and most important. From this perspective, your script is really good. But it is not good enough. The story is still a little thin, and the characters are very thin and not attractive enough. I think you have to continue polishing, especially the opening ten or twenty minutes is too dull. If the opening is not good enough, the audience will be very difficult to watch."
