Chapter 6 My Junior Brother is Amazing
Chen Zhou was quite satisfied with both of the task rewards.
The novel "The Nameless" mainly tells the story of...
In a small mountain town, a series of ordinary people living on different paths in society are caught up in an absurd comedy due to a lost old gun and a bizarre robbery that happened that day.
With the script in hand, Chen Zhou wasn't in a hurry to start filming.
When he had some free time, he had to submit the script for review before he could proceed with anything else.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhou sent the finished edited video to Liu Yifei via email, as promised.
Not long after.
Over in Hengdian.
Liu Yifei has already started filming "The Forbidden Kingdom".
Her mother, Liu Xiaoli, was naturally with her as well.
Currently, the entire crew is having lunch and resting.
Upon seeing the email Chen Zhou sent her, she immediately knew that Chen Zhou had completed his graduation project.
Filled with anticipation, Liu Yifei asked the staff on site for help. After downloading her graduation project, she immediately connected it to the monitor next to her.
"Huh? Why is the screen on?"
Cheng Long walked over carrying a lunchbox.
Liu Yifei immediately explained, "Brother Chenglong, I have a very interesting junior brother. He is a directing student at the Beijing Film Academy."
"He was filming a graduation short film a couple of days ago, and I also made a cameo appearance."
"He has now finished producing it and sent me the finished product."
"I'd like to release it for everyone to see, is that alright?"
"Of course, no problem, everyone's eating anyway." Cheng Long didn't mind at all, and was even quite interested.
"Minkov, come watch the play with us," Cheng Long called out in English.
Then came Rob Minkoff, the director of "The Forbidden Kingdom".
His most classic masterpiece in his directing career is The Lion King.
Cheng Long explained the situation to Robert Minkov, but after learning the details, Robert Minkov clearly showed no interest.
He saw a student's graduation project as utterly worthless.
It's a waste of time.
Liu Yifei, who understands English, immediately said, "Director Minkoff, the person who filmed this short film is the junior colleague I mentioned to you during the script reading a while ago, Chen Zhou."
"Mr. Chen?" Upon hearing this name, Rob Minkoff immediately became interested.
He wanted to see what kind of short film this guy, who could help Liu Yifei perfectly analyze the character, would produce.
Soon, the graduation video began to play.
As the camera slowly pans in.
It can be discovered very directly.
Rob Minkoff's reaction, his attitude having shifted from relaxed at the beginning, quickly became serious.
As soon as the graduation video ended, Rob Minkoff stood up, clapped, and shouted, "Is good!"
Rob Minkoff's sudden excited reaction startled everyone else.
"What's wrong, Director Minkoff?" Liu Xiaoli asked.
She couldn't understand why Rob Minkoff was making such a fuss over nothing, since he had only watched Chen Zhou's graduation video.
"The use of camera shots is perfect; the director of this short film has reached the level of internationally renowned directors in terms of camera movement!" Rob Minkoff stated frankly.
Although Rob Minkoff doesn't understand Chinese, he can fully grasp the emotions expressed in the graduation short film through the language of the camera.
But none of that matters. What matters is that he himself is a director who is extremely skilled at camera work.
Therefore, he can tell at a glance how well a work is shot.
His eyes are like rulers!
"Is the level of an internationally renowned director really that exaggerated?" Liu Xiaoli asked incredulously.
As a viewer, she genuinely felt that Chen Zhou's camera work was very comfortable.
But that was all; she couldn't really feel anything else.
"Madam, are you questioning my professionalism?" Rob Minkoff asked.
"No, you've misunderstood." Liu Xiaoli could tell that Rob Minkoff was indeed serious.
She couldn't help but think to herself, "I never expected that kid to be so good at hiding his talent. Even a famous director like Rob Minkoff praised him so highly. Sissi really has a good eye."
"Yifei, director Minkoff rarely praises people, especially young directors."
"I can also see that your junior director has a very promising future."
Clearly, Cheng Long's view is completely consistent with that of Robert Minkoff.
At this moment, Liu Yifei felt both very happy and extremely proud.
Actually, she herself was the most surprised and shocked person.
She never imagined that her junior colleague, whom she hadn't seen for so long, would have become so outstanding in terms of directing ability.
Chen Zhou is now being praised by an international director for his camerawork skills, which are at the level of a top international director.
Its value is off the charts!
Junior brother is amazing!
So Liu Yifei couldn't wait to tell Chen Zhou everything.
Chen Zhou expressed his gratitude but was not particularly surprised.
The camera movement rewards he received from the system were already at a world-class level.
All I can say is that Rob Minkoff has a good eye!
It was a little after 2 p.m.
Chen Zhou returned to the Beijing Film Academy with the cassette tape of his graduation video.
He was going to hand the cassette tape to his homeroom teacher; whether he could graduate smoothly depended on today.
Upon entering an office, Chen Zhou immediately saw the homeroom teacher sitting in the corner, staring at the computer.
His homeroom teacher's name is Jiang Wei.
He has achieved great success in both screenwriting and directing.
For example, he was the screenwriter for the 2001 film "Don't Talk to Strangers".
He was both the screenwriter and director of the spy drama "Lurking," which was released in 2008.
Besides these, there are many other works of varying sizes.
In short, he's a capable person.
Chen Zhou stepped forward and said, "Teacher."
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Wei looked towards Chen Zhou, then immediately frowned, "It's you, kid!"
"Teacher, you seem to have a problem with me," Chen Zhou joked.
"Of course, all your directing classmates have already submitted their graduation projects to me."
"Now, you're the only one still dragging it out."
"What, don't you want to graduate?"
Jiang Wei's tone was full of disappointment and frustration.
"I've come here to give you my graduation project." With that, Chen Zhou handed over the cassette tape.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Wei's expression changed, feeling quite surprised.
"You better not try to fool me. If you take any random pictures, I'll teach you a lesson."
Jiang Wei took the tape and walked towards the projection equipment.
Chen Zhou glanced at the computer screen, which read: Infiltration Script.
"Teacher, are you planning to make a movie?" Chen Zhou asked.
"Yes, I'm not going to teach anymore after this semester ends. I plan to go and film a spy movie," Jiang Wei replied.
Chen Zhou nodded silently.
In the future, "Lurking" will become one of the best spy dramas ever made.
Soon, Jiang Wei set up the projection equipment.
Just then, several other teachers walked in. Chen Zhou recognized them, but didn't know them personally.
Jiang Wei was overjoyed and quickly called out, "Come and take a look, everyone. My student has submitted his graduation project. Please help me assess its quality."
Upon hearing this, several teachers gathered around.
"This student of mine is the least qualified one I've ever taught. You should be prepared."
"But let me make this clear beforehand: no matter how bad your graduation project is, you can't criticize it. If anyone does, I'll get really angry with them."
"I can scold myself!"
Jiang Wei made a statement.
"Hahaha!"
Several teachers burst into laughter.
Everyone knows that Jiang Wei is very protective of his own.
