Chapter 7 Teacher Fu
The two left the dormitory and went straight to the director building. This building is dedicated to the performance department and the directing department. The teachers' offices are also together on the second floor.
The two went upstairs, but before they reached the door, they could already hear voices coming from inside. The teachers were chatting. The official start of school is the day after tomorrow. The teachers’ work is not heavy these days. .
Zhang Chen came to the door. There were several teachers from the acting department in the office, but not a single teacher from the directing department.
Seeing someone looking at the door, a teacher raised his head and said, "Classmate, who are you looking for?"
"Oh, hello, teacher. I am a student in the directing class. I want to find Teacher Fu. He is not here?"
The teacher inside was about to speak when a voice sounded from behind: "Zhang Chen? Are you looking for me?" ?”
The two turned around and it was Teacher Fu.
"Uh, Teacher Fu..."
"Is something wrong?"
"It's like this. I wrote a script during the holiday and I want you to help me give it to my staff."
"Script? Okay, bring it and let me take a look first. Come in and talk~"
Teacher Fu let the two of them into the room and motioned to sit down.
Zhang Chen handed over the script with both hands. Teacher Fu took out his glasses and put them on, and then started to read.
But another teacher next to him said: "Cao Bingkun, do you also have a share in this script?"
Obviously, the person speaking was Cao Bingkun’s teacher.
“No, no, Teacher Ding, I’m just here to help.”
Unlike other colleges and universities, Nortel basically teaches in small classes, and the teachers know each of them personally. One student, Cao Bingkun, is in an acting junior college class, and his teacher happens to be in this office.
Teacher Fu is reading...
"Dark Invasion"?
The title of the play was not cliché, but it did not add much information. It was hard to tell what kind of story it was, so Teacher Fu continued to read on.
How many girls are exploring the cave?
Collapse?
Is it an adventure story?
Teacher Fu was confused, but he did not stop and continued reading along the text. When he saw the 'monster appeared', he couldn't help but frown.
Horror movie?
This is relatively rare.
Looking at his student without any trace, Teacher Fu said nothing and then looked down.
The monster appeared, the girls ran away, and the injured female partner was killed by the monster.
Because of nervousness, Juno accidentally killed Yang Xiaoyue.
Xia La, who had been separated, found Yang Xiaoyue who was still breathing, and learned the truth. The seeds of misunderstanding sprouted in her heart.
The monster's pursuit caused Shara to fall into a pool of blood. The extreme environment and the betrayal of her friends caused Shara's inner transformation.
After coming out of the blood pool, Shara was reborn from the blood.
Monsters are everywhere. Shara and Juno meet again. Forced by external crises, the two cooperate and struggle to survive.
But just before breaking out of the siege, Xia La injured Juno and left her alone with the monster, completing the same reincarnation as Yang Xiaoyue.
During the localization adaptation, Zhang Chen naturally changed his name. Shara is Sarah, and Juno is still Juno.
Teacher Fu was attracted by the story and flipped through it unknowingly. In the blink of an eye, the script, which was not too thick, was turned to the last page and he had read the entire story.
This time, he looked at Zhang Chen with surprise.
To be honest, when Zhang Chen said he had written a script just now, he didn't take it seriously.
Students in the directing department have to dabble in screenwriting, photography, lighting, etc. It is normal to try to write a script.
But Zhang Chen is only a sophomore, so what good stories he can write is just a matter of practice.
Unexpectedly, what Zhang Chen brought was a 90-minute movie script, and it seemed pretty good. Not only is the degree of completion very high, but the subject matter is also a very rare horror film.
Of course there are no horror films in China.
Li Xiaowan's debut film "Silver Snake Murder" is a horror film about a serial killer.
In addition, "The Lonely Man in the Dark House" was released in 1989, which also caused quite a stir at the time.
But Zhang Chen's "Dark Invasion" is completely different from those. He is a type that has never appeared in China.
Teacher Fu closed his eyes and began to reflect. The screenplay of the script was really too strong.
After a while, he opened his eyes again and asked uncertainly: "Tell the truth, is this...really written by you?"
I don't blame the teacher for asking such a question. , in fact, the degree of completion of this script is too high, the horror atmosphere is progressive, and there is also a discussion of human nature. It doesn't look like it could be tinkered with by a sophomore.
Cao Bingkun was not surprised at all by Teacher Fu's reaction. He had also read the script, and his first reaction was exactly the same as Teacher Fu's.
Zhang Chen wanted to roll his eyes. The script was indeed copied, but am I really that bad?
“Hmm~”
Zhang Chen nodded firmly, copying the movie in his memory does not count as copying.
“I suddenly got inspiration during the Chinese New Year, so I wrote this story. Later I felt it wasn’t good enough, so I revised it more than a dozen times before I got the version you see.”
Zhang Chen explained softly, and at the same time handed over the remaining shot scripts and storyboards.
Teacher Fu had another surprise. Is there still footage and storyboards? You know, even famous directors, very few are willing to spend time drawing storyboards.
Opening the storyboard, he read a few shots and found that there were no problems at all. If he was asked to shoot them by himself, this would probably be the end of it.
Teacher Fu is a little confused, what is going on?
Genius?
There is actually a genius student under him?
Teacher Fu was a little unbelievable.
From the moment he saw the storyboard script, he was completely convinced that the script was written by Zhang Chen.
This thing cannot be deceived. If it is not your own child, it is impossible for you to have such a deep understanding of the script.
“The script is good, do you plan to film it?”
"Yes."
"Then why is it a horror film?"
Zhang Chen understands what Mr. Fu means. Horror films have a small audience and many restrictions. There is a very high possibility that they will not be released after filming. Large, so in recent years, this type of movie is almost unavailable in theaters.
After hearing that the script was good and that it was a horror film, several other acting department teachers immediately became interested.
The horror film genre has not been seen in China for many years, and they were curious about what kind of horror story this student wrote.
"Teacher Fu, can we take a look at the script?"
The script was then circulated among several teachers. Zhang Chen could feel that after reading the script, the teachers looked at him differently.
Yes, yes, this feels right, it finally looks like a reborn person.
However, I was secretly happy in my heart, but I couldn't show it on my face. Whether the film could be produced or not depended on whether Teacher Fu was willing to help, so Zhang Chen decided to make the other person comfortable first.
“I chose this theme because of you...”
"?" Teacher Fu was confused.
Zhang Chen continued: "You once said in class that around the world, the genres that can best use small things to make a big difference are comedies, erotic films and horror films. I can't write comedies, and I can't write erotic films. Maybe, it can only be a horror movie."
Teacher Fu was slightly startled when he heard that Zhang Chen said such insightful words. Did he say this?
But then I felt relieved. I had indeed seen this argument somewhere. Maybe I mentioned it casually in class, and unexpectedly it was remembered by the students.
Well, it seems that this student respects him quite a lot, and keeps everything he mentions in mind.
Feeling the eyes of other teachers, Teacher Fu's heart was filled with a small sense of satisfaction.
Zhang Chen was watching the scene and knew that he had shot the right place. He was secretly happy in his heart. Only Cao Bingkun was listening at a loss. Are all the things taught in the directing department so in-depth?
