Tan Min himself has no choice. As a local, participating in film and television festivals is an advantage. Being close to home, there is still a little bit of privilege.
He is still famous locally on weekdays, and some people are willing to invest in some films for him, but he used to make documentaries about the ocean. Now he plans to make a film and wants to attract investment. Unfortunately, he is often active outside at film and television festivals. Yes, 11 out of 10 directors are looking for someone to invest, and the extra one is a new career changer.
It would be more difficult for someone like Tan Min to change careers to become a director, not to mention that he is going to make a transition this time. He does not intend to keep people's impression of him in the ocean documentaries.
I have been busy for several days without much gain, and some activity venues cannot be squeezed in, so I can only wander around the periphery. I came here today to buy a few sea slugs for the children at home, 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 films when they weren't acting, so when he saw Fang Zhao, he hurried over.
"Investing 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, with a very enthusiastic smile on his face, and quickly said: "If you are free, let's go to the cafe next door to sit and chat for a while? I have written the script!"
When Tan Min was like this, Ren Hong also helped and said: "Otherwise, Fang Zhao, you have also been walking in the stadium for a long time, you can go there to drink tea, chat and rest, and I will send you the results of the medical examination. past."
"Okay." Fang Zhao nodded.
There was also someone Tan Min knew at the coffee shop, so he left a clean private room and recommended some local snacks to Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao ordered a cup of tea and did not rush to read Tan Min's script, but asked Tan Min something.
"Why did you think about being a director?"
Tan Min drank half a glass of iced lemonade and calmed down a bit. Hearing Fang Zhao's words, he paused and said, "The Carroll Islands have a strong atmosphere of film and television art. People here usually like to take pictures. I used to be a Divers also cooperate with the research institute. Sometimes they go to which sea area to collect samples. The difficulty in operating the machine is that we help in the past because the equipment can keep up with the deep sea. ."
Talking about what he saw and felt when he went to work in shallow seas or deep seas when he was a diver, Tan Min was also in a good mood, and his previous nervousness and anxiety were also relieved a lot.
"In the beginning, I just tried to make some videos about the ocean and made it into a special feature. Later, I won an award, which also aroused my interest in this industry, opened a new door in my life, and wanted to shoot more videos about the ocean. , so that when people look up at the stars, they can also 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 gives me a lot of inspiration .I went to the director training class in Huangzhou Inland, and I also suggested that a few students who live in the inland should go to the aquarium when they feel that there is no inspiration, there may be something they need."
"There are still many deep-sea creatures on display in larger aquariums now. Those deep-sea creatures have been growing wildly in places people can't notice. Their appearance is unimaginable and strange, constantly challenging people's imagination. .I think they must be such a growth mentality 'anyway people can't see it, I will grow up casually', and everyone who enters the deep-sea biological exhibition hall for the first time may have the sigh of 'wow! It can still grow like this' !"
Speaking of which, Tan Min laughed to himself hahaha.
Fang Zhao also smiled. He knew that there were many strange-looking creatures in the sea, and coupled with the mutation incentives brought by the great environment of the era of extinction, it might become even more strange now. After hearing what Tan Min said, he also decided to go to the ocean tube when he had time to take a look.
Tan Min continued: "If you want to see monsters, you don't have to go to another 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 Carroll Islands are surrounded by the sea, and there is the third largest aquarium in Huangzhou. After I became a diver, I seldom went to the aquarium because I was in contact with the ocean almost every day. However, after I became a director, every year I would bring The children at home go to the aquariums around the world to expand their knowledge. The fish in the sea are not just what they look like on their plates. As long as the imagination is unlimited, the future is also unlimited. Especially in our industry, we should pay attention to our hearts and minds. Magnification, imagination is indispensable.”
After briefly talking about his professional experience and insights, Tan Min changed his words and asked Fang Zhao, "Have you heard the story of the mermaid?"
Fang Zhao nodded lightly, "I heard it."
"I am very interested in this, and I have searched a lot of video resources about mermaids, and even preserved films from the old century. I have seen the mythical version of love stories and biochemical versions of amazing stories shot by those predecessors. Of course, filming those There are too many, I didn't plan to follow the trend to shoot that, I have never seen a mermaid, but I have raised sea slugs! I have been raising them for many years! If I don't shoot mermaids, I will shoot sea slugs!" Tan Min said excitedly, and still took pictures hit the table.
Fang Zhao frowned, knowing that Tan Min was about to get to the point.
Sure enough, the next thing I saw Tan Min's face was straight and he said, "Actually, this time I just wanted to make a movie about sea slugs, which would also include some environmental protection topics. Man and nature must live in harmony, and the century will be destroyed. So many things have been destroyed in those 100 years, and they have finally recovered in 500 years. People should know how to cherish them, right?"
Fang Zhao nodded again. That's right, no one has a deeper understanding than those who have experienced disaster and destruction firsthand. Think of the oceans seen in the era of extinction, and look at the blue sea and clear sky today, how rare it is.
Seeing that Fang Zhao was listening, Tan Min spoke more vigorously. It seemed that he had expectations for what he was talking about!
"The story I'm going to shoot this time is a script I wrote myself, a story that took five or six years to sort out."
Tan Min is not worried about the leakage of the script content. With the halo on Fang Zhao's head, he should not do such a dishonorable thing.
"Let's talk about it first, this story is all fiction, don't take it seriously, I'll tell you briefly..." Tan Min added, worried that Fang Zhao would be frightened by the content of the script.
After hearing what Tan Min said, Fang Zhao was really interested.
"This story took place in a small coastal town. The protagonist went fishing with his family, and then caught a sea slug. The sea slug looked nothing special, but it was slightly different from the same species. He didn't care about it. When he went back and saw that it was still alive, he kept it as a pet. Until one day, he found that the buds of several pots of flowers at home were missing."
Fang Zhao took the cup with his hand.
Tan Min continued: "He looked for it, but he didn't find it, and he didn't care. He wondered if the child from the next door or a relative's house had picked it up when he came to play. All the tender leaves in the flowerpot are gone!"
Fang Zhao silently tapped the water glass with his fingertips.
Tan Min continued: "The protagonist was puzzled. He asked his family to make sure that no one else entered the room during his trip to the sea. After thinking about it, he installed cameras in all four corners of the room!"
Fang Zhao: "..."
When it comes to the key points, Tan Min's face is red with excitement, "When the protagonist came back from the sea again and found that some of the older leaves were missing in the flower pot, he froze in his heart and turned on the video captured by the camera. , and then, he saw that the sea slug, which was picked up from the sea before, actually lifted the lid and climbed out while he was out to sea! Hahahaha, were you scared?"
Fang Zhao: "..."
Believe in your evil!
