Director of Photography Department of Huayu

Chapter 17 Out of sight, out of sight
If the script reflects the excitement of the story, then the storyboard is the touchstone of the director's creative conception, visual expression and rhythm control.

Zhou Chuanji was present at the moment and had looked through the script and storyboards. Although he didn't say much, as his student, how could Zhang Huijun not understand his teacher's thoughts?
Right now, I have to put the blame on Mu Deyuan first to make my attitude clear. Then we can have a drink together and the matter will be over.

Mu Deyuan was also stunned for a moment. How could this pot suddenly fall from the sky?

Meeting Zhang Huijun's gaze, Mu Deyuan had no choice but to suppress his anger.

Okay, you are the principal, you are the boss, I will take the blame for this.

"I was just thinking about thinking more about this script and seeing if I could improve it. It has indeed been delayed for a few days!" Mu Deyuan said calmly.

"Well, you're a pretty responsible teacher." Zhou Chuanji nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "By the way, Deyuan, how's this student's photography talent?"

"To be honest, Wu Chen's talent for photography is rare!" Mu Deyuan's face darkened. "Over the years, no one has been able to match him. If we trace it back, we might have to go all the way back to the time of Zhang Yimou."

"Yimou!" Zhou Chuanji muttered and didn't continue.

Zhang Huijun was a little surprised.

He, Mu Deyuan and Zhang Yi were all from the Photography Department of 78. They were both well aware of Zhang Yi's talent in photography.

Since Mu Deyuan dared to say so, Wu Chen's photography skills must be not low. After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind:

“School support funds are used to support students’ various projects, but there are very few funds available.

Wu Chen has this talent. Although he is a little young, he can handle special matters.

"Old Mu, you can still apply for the process as usual. Talk to him about the share and copyright. You're familiar with this, so I won't go into details. But you have to take on the consultant job!"

Mudeyuan saw that his goal had been achieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

The biggest difficulty of the problem has been solved. If Wu Chen was not still a freshman, he would not have to spend so much energy at all.

"I was thinking that if Old Zhang had any concerns, I would have to contact the film and television company back in Pengcheng to help that kid. Now I save that trouble." Mu Deyuan sighed in his heart.

"The only pity is that the script lacks depth and is a bit too suspenseful. If it could delve a little deeper into human nature, it would be more like the material for the Big Three."

Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, Zhou Chuanji brought the topic back to the script.

"After all, I'm still a student. It's not easy to get this far. Although I'm a little short of the three majors, this style is quite suitable for the Fantasy Film Festival."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said at this time, on the one hand, this is the fact;

On the other hand, I have to explain that there are very few students who can write such a script and have such talent. It is not his fault that no director can be produced in the department.

"The photography department still adheres to the old traditions!" Zhou Chuanji laughed when he said this.

The three of them couldn't help but laugh together when they heard this.

The Department of Photography does not produce serious photographers, but only directors. This tradition is well known to everyone in the circle.

"But Zhuangzhuang, the directing department needs to work harder. The best resources are all given to you. Don't be so incompetent!"

However, Zhou Chuanji changed the subject and criticized Tian Zhuangzhuang's directing style.

Tian Zhuangzhuang could only nod blindly.

After chatting for a long time, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Mu Deyuan had something to do and left first.

Zhou Chuanji was still there, so it was hard to discuss funding; they could only find another opportunity. "Are you feeling better?" Tian Zhuangzhuang snorted coldly when he saw Mu De humming a little tune as he walked away.

"What's the big deal? I'm so worried. I've only just started filming. I have to worry about assembling a crew, finding a location, getting equipment, and gathering manpower. Which of these things doesn't require my attention? Oh, I was born to be a busy person!"

Mu Deyuan sighed, put his hands behind his back, and hummed the tune even more happily.

Tian Zhuangzhuang rolled his eyes, turned around and walked away, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

"Old Tian, ​​he left without a word, what's the big deal? He's so petty!"

"."

Wu Chen stayed in the classroom obediently, while Li Wei was speaking on the stage with saliva flying all over the place.

Although everyone said he could skip classes, as a student, he had no filming assignments, so staying in class and studying was his responsibility.

It's really too arrogant and a bit unreasonable to leave for no reason.

Being able to relive those school days is a unique blessing in life.

"It's only been these few years." Wu Chen sighed in his heart.

At the same time, Wu Yangming was contacting another stall distributor in Yangcheng.

Wu Yangming didn’t think anything of the rejection he received last time.

He didn’t think much of it when the last deal didn’t go through.

He doesn't understand this thing called movies, and neither do the distributors. Although it sounds impressive, when it comes to actually paying for it, who wouldn't think twice?
"Hey, Boss Lin, it's like this, my son has been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, and there's a project - yes, that's about making movies.

He said that the protagonist in the movie has to wear fashionable shoes. Isn't this a ready-made advertisement?
When a client comes to see a sample, you can just show them the movie footage. Maybe the boss in Russia will fall for it! Don’t you think so?
It will take a while, because filmmaking isn't like our board production, which can take a week or two, a month or more, or at least half a year." Wu Yangming explained this clearly.

"Old Wu, to be honest, I'm quite tempted, but the timeframe is too long. By the time the movie comes out, our prototype might be outdated. You know how fast the industry is updating and iterating these days.

Besides, I still have to go to Beijing to confirm the information, which is another huge expense. My stall is not big, but the whole thing will cost a lot. I can't afford it." Boss Lin sighed.

Wu Yangming nodded to show his understanding.

It's normal. Although this matter has the possibility of success, Wu Chen's current identity, the uncertainty of the film, the time period and other factors, which one is not a risk?
These are not things that can be decided by just a few words, after all, it involves real money.

"But Old Wu, I think there is one person who might have hope!" Boss Lin changed the subject.

"Who?" Wu Yangming, who had originally thought there was no hope, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

"Zhang Zemin from the shoe store on Zhanxi Road!"

"He!"

Wu Yangming immediately understood. He knew this person. After all, he had been to all the stalls in the shoe city and knew exactly who was where.

It’s just that Zhang Zemin runs a women’s shoe OEM business, while he makes men’s shoes, so there isn’t much overlap.

"He's a big gambler, as you know. Last time I had dinner with him, I heard that he wanted to get involved in this field. You have his contact information, right? So you don't need me to give it to you, right?" Boss Lin said with a smile.

"Yes, in our line of work, the last thing we lack is the contact information of all the major stalls in the shoe city."
