Huayu: I'm just opening a treasure chest, why are you shaking your leg?

A voice tinged with resentment came from the office.

Who is it??

Zhou Yang understood immediately.

Professor Tian has already taken a midday nap.

The voice still carried a hint of sleepiness.

Zhou Yang said in a clear voice:

"Teacher, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep."

"My name is Zhou Yang. Is this a convenient time for you to take a look at my script?"

"If I'm taking a nap, I'll leave now and come back in the afternoon."

A voice, tinged with surprise, came from inside:

"Who are you??"

"Zhou Yang".

Zhou Yang's brow twitched slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

I don't understand why Tian Zhuangzhuang's voice suddenly changed.

"Is something fishy going on?"

Zhou Yang thought to himself.

The office door was slowly opening.

"Good afternoon, Professor Tian."

Tian Zhuangzhuang came out, wearing an old-fashioned shirt and loose trousers.

His face looked somewhat weathered, full of the weight of time, and his beard was thick and black.

He has a somewhat elderly appearance, giving him an air of authority without being angry.

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and thought to himself:

"Professor Tian was already almost the same age as in 2007?"

"Haha... Just like Uncle Benshan, there's basically been no change between 30 years ago and 30 years later."

He opened the door to the side, waving his hand.

"It's alright, no need for formalities. Come in, it's quite hot outside."

Zhou Yang smiled and nodded:

"I'm sorry for disturbing my supervisor's afternoon nap."

"I've already disturbed you, it's alright." Tian Zhuangzhuang walked ahead.

"sit."

He walked to the teapot beside him and poured himself a cup of chilled tea.

"Here, have some herbal tea."

Zhou Yang didn't know why?

Sitting on the sofa, I was surprisingly a little reserved.

I sighed in my heart:

"Sigh, I'm actually nervous about not seeing my old friend for so many years, haha..."

Zhou Yang picked up the glass and took a simple sip.

Tian Zhuangzhuang pulled up a chair, glanced at Zhou Yang a few times, and smiled:

I recognize you.

"If I remember correctly, I even complimented you, didn't I?"

"Just recently?!"

Zhou Yang's gaze softened, tinged with a hint of surprise.

To know.

Tian Zhuangzhuang has taught quite a few students.

not to mention.

Countless students come to his office every day.

They are as numerous as hairs on a cow.

I can still remember Zhou Yang now.

This is quite unexpected.

"Yes, mentor."

Tian Zhuangzhuang asked with a smile:

"script??"

"Yes, a movie script," Zhou Yang said.

"You came to see me for more than just to appreciate the script, right?" Tian Zhuangzhuang asked.

Zhou Yang shook his head and smiled:

"You can't hide it from your mentor."

"If the script can pass my mentor's approval, I would like to apply for a film support fund."

"You're going to make a movie??" Tian Zhuangzhuang asked, somewhat surprised.

Zhou Yang looked up at Tian Zhuangzhuang, his gaze resolute and determined:

"Yes, I'd like to try."

"You took the picture yourself?" Tian Zhuangzhuang asked after a moment's thought.

"Yes," Zhou Yang said.

"Where's the director?" Tian Zhuangzhuang asked.

"I can be the assistant director," Zhou Yang said in a deep voice after a moment's thought.

"Assistant director?? You're just a student??" Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed.

"Yes, that's why I became the assistant director."

Zhou Yang remained calm, showing no emotion or fear whatsoever.

"What about the director?" Tian Zhuangzhuang asked.

"I'm planning to find a more capable director to oversee things," Zhou Yang said solemnly.

"Still haven't found it?? Are you filming and searching at the same time??" Tian Zhuangzhuang asked in surprise.

"That's how it is now!!"

Zhou Yang said helplessly:

"I still don't know if the support fund will be approved?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang stroked his beard and asked thoughtfully:

"Zhou Yang, let's imagine something."

"Now that the support fund has been approved, what should you do?"

"Director, would you like to take a look at the script first?"

Zhou Yang was a little confused by Tian Zhuangzhuang's words, and then he held up the script in his hand.

Tian Zhuangzhuang simply shook his head.

that……

Zhou Yang was completely dumbfounded.

Let's imagine it first.

What are you fantasizing about?

Has it been approved yet?

What was approved?

Youth support fund?

Or is it the Qingying Support Fund?

There are two things that are puzzling Zhou Yang.

First, why did Tian Zhuangzhuang's voice suddenly change when he saw the name "Zhou Yang"?

I don't even feel like taking a nap anymore.

Second, Zhou Yang's purpose in coming to find Tian Zhuangzhuang was very simple.

Who in the entire Beijing Film Academy doesn't know this?

Is Tian Zhuangzhuang the only one who's easy to talk to?

Only through Tian Zhuangzhuang's connections could the film support fund be approved.

Because of Tian Zhuangzhuang's letter of recommendation, it was equivalent to the approval of the support fund.

Holding the letter of recommendation.

Go to the office of the head of the Literature Department.

Dean of the Screenwriting Research Institute.

Director of Qingying Film Studio.

Once you sign and stamp the document, the support fund is ready.

So the price ranges from 5 to 20, depending on the quality of your script.

But Tian Zhuangzhuang kept asking questions, and she asked quite a few detailed ones.

This puzzled Zhou Yang, who couldn't understand it.

Since you've asked such a detailed question...

That means there's hope.

In his previous life, Zhou Yang had some connection with Tian Zhuangzhuang.

We could be considered old friends, albeit in a lesser sense.

But in this life.

He was just a college student.

A little kid.

No background, no resources.

They didn't even recognize Tian Zhuangzhuang.

If there is any relationship, it is only that of a professor and a student.

"No rush, tell me first."

Tian Zhuangzhuang shook his head and refused to accept the script.

Zhou Yang then said:

"I'm the assistant director, producer, screenwriter, and actor all rolled into one??"

Tian Zhuangzhuang exclaimed in surprise:

"You did all this by yourself??"

"Yeah, we don't have any money, but we'll keep doing this for now," Zhou Yang said, shaking his head.

"So you want to shoot a short film, not a feature film," Tian Zhuangzhuang said thoughtfully.

Zhou Yang said seriously:

"No, mentor, it's a feature film, almost two hours long."

"A feature film?? Fine." Tian Zhuangzhuang sighed, "I won't ask you about start-up capital yet, I'll just ask you some simple questions."

Zhou Yang said calmly, "Professor, please ask."

Who is the executive director?

"I will find a great director to oversee things."

"How amazing is it??"

"You've won awards, haven't you?"

"Heh, not a bad idea?? What about the photographer?"

"I can be a cinematographer, but I'll hire a team. After all, it's a movie, shooting just one shot is too slow."

"Where's the lighting technician?"

"Hire them with money."

"Where's the sound engineer??"

"Hiring someone with money??"

"Where are the stagehands?"

"Hire them with money."

"Where are the film editors?"

"Hire them with money."

Where are the special effects compositors??

"We should just hire them."

"A colorist??"

"Spend money."

"Subtitle packaging artist??"

"Audio mixing engineer??"

"Head screenwriter??"

"Co-written by the same person??"

"Copywriting planning??"

"Art Director??"

"A prop maker??"

"A costume designer??"

"Makeup artist??"

"A stylist??"

"A set designer??"

"Wait a minute??"

Zhou Yang's eyes narrowed several times upon hearing this.
