Superstars of Tomorrow

Tan Min himself can't help it. As a local, he has an advantage in participating in the film and television festival. Being close to home, he still has a little bit of privilege.

On weekdays, he is well-known in the local area, and some people are willing to invest in some films for him, but he used to make documentaries about the ocean, and now he plans to make a film to attract people to invest, but unfortunately, he is often active outside during film and television festivals Yes, out of ten directors, eleven out of ten are looking for someone to invest in, and the extra one is a new career changer.

For a person like Tan Min who changed his career as a director midway, it would be more difficult to attract investment, not to mention that he is going to make a transition this time, and he does not intend to let people's impression of him stay in marine documentaries.

I haven't gained much after working for several days, and I can't squeeze into some activity places, so I can only hang around outside. I came here today to buy some sea slugs for my children, but I didn't expect to meet Fang Zhao.

There was too much news about Fang Zhao some time ago. Tan Min knew that Fang Zhao was rich, and also knew that some actors invested in movies when they were not acting, so he rushed over when he saw Fang Zhao.

"Invest in movies?" Fang Zhao didn't expect to hear such a question.

He doesn't plan to make movies, and it's not impossible to invest in movies.

Seeing that Fang Zhao didn't immediately refuse, Tan Min was overjoyed, and with a very warm smile on his face, he hurriedly said, "If you're free, let's go to the coffee shop next door and have a chat? I've finished writing the script!"

With Tan Min like this, Ren Hong also helped and said: "How about this, Fang Zhao, you have also been walking in the stadium for a long time, you go over there to drink tea, chat and rest, and I will send you the results of the physical examination. past."

"Okay." Fang Zhao nodded.

There was someone Tan Min knew at the coffee shop, so he left a small private room for him, and recommended some local snacks to Fang Zhao.

Fang Zhao ordered a cup of tea, and was not in a hurry to read Tan Min's script, but asked Tan Min some things.

"Why did you want to be a director?"

Tan Min drank half a glass of iced lemonade to calm himself down a bit. Hearing Fang Zhao's words, he paused and said, "The Carole Islands has a strong atmosphere of film and television art. People here usually like to take pictures of things. I used to be Divers also cooperate with the research institute. Sometimes they go to some sea area to collect samples. The difficulty in operating the machine is that we used to help. Because the equipment can keep up, I have been to the deep sea several times, and I have a good understanding of the ocean. .”

Talking about what he saw and felt when he was a diver working in shallow sea or deep sea, Tan Min was also in a good mood, and his previous nervousness and apprehension also eased a lot.

"At the beginning, I just tried to make some videos about the ocean and made them into a special series. Later, I won an award, which also aroused my interest in this line of work and opened a new door in my life. I want to shoot more videos about the ocean. , so that when people look up at the starry sky, they also take a look at the sea on this planet."

Tan Min's voice was a little excited, "I heard a director who came here to participate in the film and television festival say, 'curiosity and phenomenal power will bring stories'. The ocean is a magical place, and it brings me a lot of inspiration I went to the director training class on the inland of Huangzhou, and I also suggested to some students who live in the inland that when they feel that they have no inspiration, they should go to the aquarium to have a look, there may be something they need.”

"There are still many deep-sea creatures on display in the larger aquariums. Those deep-sea creatures have been growing wantonly in places where people can't notice. Their appearance is weird and unimaginable, constantly challenging people's imagination. I think they must have such a growth mentality of "Anyway, others can't see it, so I just grow it casually", and everyone who enters the deep-sea biology exhibition hall for the first time may have a sigh of "Wow! It can grow like this" !"

Talking about it, Tan Min laughed by himself.

Fang Zhao also smiled. He knew that there were many strange-looking creatures in the sea, coupled with the mutation incentives brought about by the great environment of the extinction century, it might become even more strange now. Hearing what Tan Min said, he also decided to go to the ocean tube to take a look when he had time.

Tan Min continued: "If you want to see monsters, you don't have to go to an alien planet. You can also see them on the home planet. There are all kinds of 'monsters' in the sea. As long as you pay attention and observe, you can always find them. The Carole Islands are surrounded by sea, and there is the third largest aquarium in Huangzhou. I rarely went to the aquarium after I became a diver, because I was in contact with the ocean almost every day. However, after I became a director, I would bring The children at home go to aquariums around the world to expand their knowledge. The fish in the sea is not just what they look like on their dinner plates. As long as the imagination is unlimited, the future is also unlimited. Especially in our business, put your heart To zoom in, imagination is essential.”

After briefly talking about his professional experience and insights, Tan Min changed his mind and asked Fang Zhao, "Have you heard the story of the mermaid?"

Fang Zhao nodded lightly, "I heard."

"I am very interested in this, and I have also searched a lot of video resources about mermaids, and there are even videos preserved from the old century. There are too many, I didn’t plan to follow the trend to shoot that one, I have never seen a mermaid but I have raised nudibranchs! I have raised them for many years! If I don’t shoot mermaids, I will shoot sea slugs!” Tan Min said excitedly, and also photographed He patted the table.

Fang Zhao's eyebrows twitched, knowing that Tan Min was about to get to the point.

Sure enough, Tan Min's expression turned serious and he said, "Actually, this time I just want to make a movie about sea slugs, which will also include some environmental protection topics. Humans and nature must live in harmony. Too many things were destroyed in those 100 years, and it was hard to recover in 500 years, people must know how to cherish it, right?"

Fang Zhao nodded again. This is true, no one has a deeper experience than those of them who have personally experienced disasters and destruction. Think about the ocean you saw during the century, and then look at the blue sea and clear sky today, how rare it is.

Seeing Fang Zhao listening, Tan Min spoke more vigorously. It seemed that what he was talking about had hope!

"The story I'm going to shoot this time is a script I wrote myself, and it took five or six years to sort out the story."

Tan Min wasn't worried about things like the leak of the script, and Fang Zhao's halo was not enough to do such a thing that would damage his reputation.

"Let me tell you first, this story is all fictitious. Don't take it seriously. Let me tell you briefly..." Tan Min added another sentence, worried that Fang Zhao would be intimidated by the content of the script.

Hearing what Tan Min said, Fang Zhao was really interested.

"This story happened in a small coastal town. The protagonist went fishing with his family and caught a sea slug. The sea slug looked nothing special, but it was slightly different from the same species. He didn't care. When he returned home and saw that it was still alive, he kept it as a pet. Until one day, he found that the buds of several potted flowers at home were gone.”

Fang Zhao gave the hand holding the cup a pause.

Tan Min continued: "He looked for it, but he didn't find it, and he didn't care. He wondered if the children from the next door or relatives picked it up when they came to play. He felt very sorry. Afterwards, the protagonist came back from the sea and found All the young leaves in the pots are gone!"

Fang Zhao tapped the water glass silently with his fingertips.

Tan Min went on to say: "The protagonist was puzzled. He asked his family members to make sure that no one else entered that room while he was out at sea. After thinking about it, he installed cameras in all four corners of that room!"

Fang Zhao: "..."

Speaking of the key point, Tan Min's face was red with excitement, "When the protagonist came back from the sea again, he found that there were not even some older leaves in the flowerpot, he was shocked and turned on the video captured by the camera. , Then, he saw that the sea slug that he picked up from the sea before, actually opened the cover and crawled out during his trip! Hahahahaha, are you scared?"

Fang Zhao: "..."

Believe your evil!
