Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 2 No one is looking for you? Then shoot it yourself!
"System, what is the director's level of 92 points?"

Rubbing his hands, Zhou Qing couldn't wait to ask the system this question.

[This level is equivalent to 92% of the level of the best director on earth. ]

The system gave this answer.

Zhou Qing immediately understood what was going on.

It turns out that a full score represents the level of the most powerful person on Earth. In this case, my current directing level is better than 90% of directors on Earth.

This is definitely the top few. It shouldn't be difficult for them to win an award from one of the top three European universities, right?
Of course, this is just a rough analysis. Winning an award is actually a very complicated matter.

It doesn’t mean that you just need to be a good director.

It also requires a good script, good actors, and various other complex factors.

What's more, Zhou Qing is only a freshman now, and it is impossible for anyone to ask him to make a movie.

As I said, a director needs other people to pay him. If you don’t have a good enough resume, who will hire you?
It is much more difficult for a director to enter the industry than for an actor.

Master Zhang didn't have the opportunity to make a movie until he was 38 years old. Feng Gangpao licked Wang Su's boots for several years in order to enter the industry. Oscar winner Li An was supported by his wife for eight years!

If you have no background, connections, or money, you have to start from the bottom and work your way up step by step, just like in your previous life.

It's full of hardships.

But that's generally the case.

Now that Zhou Qing is in serious trouble, he naturally doesn't want to be so frustrated anymore.

So without much thought, he made a very bold decision.

Since no one is looking for me, I might as well take the photos myself!
Once your movies achieve extraordinary success and become famous, the road ahead will be much easier.

Considering Zhou Qing's level which is almost at the maximum level, he can still do something about it.

So what kind of movie should we make?
Naturally, they are some low-budget movies that are easy to win awards.

Zhou Qing was a director in his previous life, so he was familiar with all kinds of works in the circle, so he knew quite a few movies like this.

There's something going on!

"Ok, deal!"

The more Zhou Qing thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but slap his thigh.

Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the toilet door, drawing Zhou Qing's attention back.

Zhu Yawen's voice also came in: "Qingzi, did you fall in? If you don't leave now, you will be late!"

"Come right away!"

Zhou Qing responded, turned on the faucet, wiped his face casually, and rinsed his mouth. He immediately felt much more energetic.

I slept until two in the afternoon without having any lunch, and I was very hungry.

But class was about to start and Zhou Qing couldn't care less.

He took his textbook and went to the large classroom of the acting class with Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin.

The so-called large classroom is attended by many classes together, not only students from the acting department, but also students from the directing department.

Acting class is also a required course in the directing department. After all, as a director, you also have to understand acting.

So it’s true that the current acting class is just a piece of cake for Zhou Qing and is not worth mentioning.

"It's great to be young!"

Looking at the young and beautiful figures around him, Zhou Qing felt so good.

College years are undoubtedly the best time in life, and everyone dreams of returning to their youth.

But who can do it?
Zhou Qing's experience can only be considered an alternative return to youth, after all, he has completely changed his body.

But this did not affect Zhou Qing's excitement and enthusiasm at all.

After putting his textbook away, he began to secretly look at the classmates around him.

As far as I can remember, there were some celebrities among the Class of 02 of Beijing Film Academy.

Among them were his two roommates Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin, as well as the goddess of literature and art Jiang Yiyan, the Third Holy Mother Zhou Yang, the relatively less famous Lu Fangsheng, and of course, the most dazzling Liu Tianxian.

These big stars nowadays should all have fair and tender skin, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's interest was even more piqued.

But not everyone has the opportunity to witness the youthful period of a big star.

"Jiang Yiyan, you look so pure at this moment."

“The Three Holy Mothers are also very beautiful.”

Soon, Zhou Qing found his target and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Jiang Yiyan, who is not even a top-level green tea character, and the Third Holy Mother who has not been disabled, is so beautiful that it seems a little unreal.

However, it was a little regrettable that Zhou Qing couldn't find Liu Tianxian after searching for a long time, but he was not too surprised.

Didn’t Jiang Yiyan say on TV that Liu Tianxian often skipped classes to go out and film?

Judging from the current time, the other party should be filming Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

"What are you looking at, Qingzi? Do you have a goal?"

Zhu Yawen poked Zhou Qing with his elbow, looking sly.

"What a hell of a goal, buddy, I'm here to learn! Love is not even a dog's business!"

Zhou Qing curled his lips in disgust.

Now he is very ambitious and only wants to make movies, and he doesn’t really think about other things.

"Okay, you're awesome! You can even act this big."

Luo Jin next to him looked disdainful and said, "You can just try to fool me with that."

"Alright guys, class is about to start."

"In this class, we will continue to talk about how to liberate our nature."

"I have said the term 'liberating your nature' many times. This is also the core content of your studies during your freshman year."

"It can even be said to be the foundation of the performance. If the foundation is not solid, no matter how high the building is, it will just be a castle in the air..."

The teacher walked up to the podium and the class began quickly.

At that time, the study atmosphere at Beijing Film Academy was still very good, and most of the students listened very seriously.

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin beside him also focused their attention on the podium.

From time to time, he would write something down in his notebook.

As for Zhou Qing?

I don't have that intention at all.

All he can think about now is his first film project.

On the surface, he was sitting there obediently, but his mind was already daydreaming and he had no idea what the teacher was saying.

Just thinking about a movie called Buried Alive.

When talking about low-budget movies, we definitely have to mention Buried Alive, which is a model of low-budget movies.

How low is the cost?

The whole movie can be summed up in one sentence: A man lies in a coffin and makes a phone call.

That’s right, a coffin and one actor support the entire movie.

This cost can’t be any smaller, right?
Some people may doubt the quality of a movie that is all about making phone calls from beginning to end, but that can only be said to be underestimating the movie.

"Buried" has a high score of 7.9 on a certain platform and has won many awards, with a very strong reputation.

So what about the box office?
Equally eye-catching!

With a cost of US$3 million, it earned US$20 million at the box office, which is a classic example of making a small profit with a big investment.
