Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Zuo Fei, Zhang Miao and Lan Jingjing were nervously waiting for Chen Feng to pronounce their sentence.

For them, whether Chen Feng will like their works will have a crucial impact on their future.

If there is no way to raise money, their short film may really be aborted.

They spend a lot of time and money here, but may end up with nothing.

Even your future work life will be affected.

After all, as students who are about to graduate, they once boasted that they would make the best short film in Haikou, but in the end they failed in disgrace and wasted a lot of resources.

This will definitely become a laughing stock among the teachers, students and classmates of the school.

If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?

If you have no money and no ability, why do you need to do these meaningless things?

Isn't it nice to graduate honestly, find a job, work on someone else's crew to make money, and live a happy little life of your own?

So, why bother?

You're not a genius, and you don't have any mines at home. Can you afford the trouble?

This is what most ordinary people think.

It's a pity that although Zuo Fei is very ordinary besides being a bit good-looking, his thoughts are different from most people.

He still wants to shoot something that he likes, and preferably others can also like.

It's not impossible to make a random short film to fool others and himself, but he just doesn't want to do that.

Therefore, in order to follow his own path, he pushed himself into a desperate situation step by step.

Even the team was disbanded and I had to go to the streets to sing. It was really miserable.

Fortunately, Zhang Miao and Lan Jingjing were always by his side, and fortunately, they were lucky enough to meet Chen Feng.

…

Chen Feng carefully read through the videos and script information Zuo Fei and the others gave him.

To be honest, these things are better than Chen Feng expected.

Judging from the edited video footage, at least Zuo Fei and the others are passable in their basic skills. Although the things they shot cannot be said to be excellent, they can at least meet the needs of ordinary film and television works, and even have some highlights.

For example, the application of some light and shadow changes in the video shots can be said to be very brilliant, and it also perfectly responds to the psychological and emotional changes of the heroine, giving people a sense of integration, which can be regarded as a relatively spiritual lens language.

Of course, what's more important is the script.

This has always been Chen Feng's focus when looking at film and television works.

In the Chinese film circle, the status of scripts and screenwriters has always been very low, whether they are directors,

Investors or other people can almost affect changes in the content of the script. Sometimes, the screenwriter clearly wrote a good story, but in the end it was changed beyond recognition, even leading to the failure of the entire work.

But the reality is this. Scripts and screenwriting work have still not been taken seriously for a long time, which is also the helplessness of many related practitioners.

But Chen Feng is different.

From the very beginning when he and Ni Hao worked on "Crazy Stone", he had very strict requirements on the script. Ni Hao also worked hard to write a new script that satisfied Chen Feng, and finally got the investment.

The same goes for "Infernal Affairs". Mai Zizhao's original script also went through many revisions under the influence of Chen Feng, and finally the most perfect version was polished.

As for the script of "The Wandering Earth", it was directly written by Tian Ming, a master of Chinese science fiction novels in this world. Even in this case, Chen Feng also participated in the revision of many details.

Therefore, in Chen Feng's view, the script is really important.

At this moment, the script handed over by Zuo Fei and the others really made Chen Feng look at them with admiration.

Although it is just a short film, Zuo Fei wrote the script very carefully. The character settings, storyline, scene breakdown, etc. are all clearly displayed in the script content.

It took Chen Feng half an hour to read the script. After reading it, he was still a little unfinished.

During the long wait of more than half an hour, Zuo Fei and the three of them were sweating on their foreheads.

Because Chen Feng just sat in his seat without saying a word, staring at the text content on the tablet non-stop.

Do you like it or don't like it?

Approval or disapproval?

Faintly, Zuo Fei felt that Chen Feng might be a little dissatisfied with the script. Otherwise, why didn't he comment after reading it for so long?

Therefore, Zuo Fei became more anxious.

Until Chen Feng suddenly raised his head, looked at him and asked.

"Can you make this script longer and adapt it into a theater-level movie?"

"Ah?" Zuo Fei was stunned. He didn't expect that after waiting anxiously for a long time, he would actually say something like this.

Adapt the original short film into a theatrical movie?

Do you want to?

Of course Zuo Fei thought about it!

The initial short film he made was a compromise he made when he had no money or resources. If possible, he would of course prefer to directly make a theatrical film.

"Yes... of course I can!"

After being stunned for a long time, Zuo Fei answered firmly.

Chen Feng smiled: "Well, if you are willing, go back and adapt and expand your script first. When you have made the changes, contact me again."

After finishing speaking, Chen Feng handed Zuo Fei a business card, which was the business card of Chen Feng's Ping An Investment Company.

Zuo Fei took the business card, his hands still shaking a little.

Chen Feng had already stood up and was about to leave.

"By the way, let's change the film's title first. The name "Shark's Mouth" is a bit too vulgar. Why not just call it "Shark Beach"? Well, shark's shark, beach's beach!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Feng waved his hands at Zuo Fei and the others, then turned and left.

"Shark Beach?"

"Yeah, Shark Beach!"

Lan Jingjing and Zhang Miao subconsciously repeated Chen Feng's words.

Zuo Fei, on the other hand, just held the business card in his hand, feeling extremely excited.

Obviously, Chen Feng was quite satisfied with his script, so he suggested that he expand the script into a feature film.

And if his adapted script can be approved by Chen Feng, then he is very likely to get an investment from Chen Feng, and then he can start shooting his first major movie in theaters!

That's a real movie, not a short film made by just a few people!

Except for the proud students in school or those children from wealthy families who have the opportunity to make movies as soon as they graduate, most of the talented but ordinary students like Zuo Fei can only work for Others are working part-time, and if they want to really make their own movies, they have to wait at least many years before they have the chance.

Even more people can only work as odd jobs on the crew throughout their lives, as photographers or stage managers.

There are only a few people who can spend their own money to make short films like Zuo Fei.

But it just so happens that he is the one who now has a chance to make a movie directly!

Thank you fate, thank you Chen Feng!
