Chapter 1 USC's Talented Director

In 1991, Los Angeles, USA.

  The USC's, also known as the University of Southern California, is the most famous film art school in the United States.

  This school has sent a series of film industry talents such as directors, editors, and photographers to Hollywood.

  In the school, on the playground at this time, a handsome man and a beautiful woman are talking about something under the watchful eyes of countless people.

  "Kevin, let's break up."

  Bella with the top green tea face said coldly, looking at Kevin's handsome face in front of her, she felt somewhat regretful in her heart.

  Steve Kevin, orphan, director genius, his short films have been praised by countless professors in the school.

  Such a genius, in a sense, has a bright future.

  Such a man with potential, she should never give up anyway.

  It's a pity...

  Bella glanced at the man surrounded by the crowd who cast admiring glances at her, and returned a sweet smile.

  No matter how talented he is, he is still just a potential stock.

  In the University of Southern California, there are quite a few directors known as geniuses every year, but 95% of them fail in the end.

  The reason for all this is simple, Hollywood does not accept losers.

  They only have one chance.

  As a rookie director, it is too difficult to succeed in the first film.

  If Kevin is not an orphan and his family has money, then even if he fails, the family can still give him more opportunities.

  But as an orphan, it was very difficult for him to even raise funds for his first film, let alone other issues.

  And that man is the son of a Fox executive in Hollywood. If he can be by his side, the success rate of his wish to become a big star will be greatly increased.

  Especially that man, who promised him not long ago that as long as he was with him, he would be able to get the position of the heroine of a low-budget movie.

  Thinking of this, Bella's heart became more determined.

  Seeing the foreign woman in front of him suddenly break up, Kevin looked confused, and a memory suddenly appeared in his mind at this moment.

  His name is Chen Daoxuan, and he is a young director in 2020.

  In his memory, in order to get money for making a new movie, he drank a lot of alcohol in the KTV with investors, and finally passed out in the KTV.

  In the last scene, after being drunk, he could only say one sentence, so big and so white.

  That's right, the heroine is so big and white.

  As for the relationship behind it, there is no need to say more.

  How could he suddenly come to this group of foreigners.

  Unable to understand all this, Chen Daoxuan, who was anxious to get rid of the current situation, nodded involuntarily, speaking English.

  "Okay!"

  Three days later, in the dormitory.

  Steve Kevin, finally sorts out what happened and where he is now.

  He, Chen Daoxuan, was a third-rate young director in Huaguo in his previous life.

  He, Steve Kevin, is a genius in the eyes of professors at the University of Southern California.

  The memories of the two are entangled, creating him.

  Of course, although he has two strands of memory, Chen Daoxuan is the main one.

  But in the United States, he certainly cannot use the name Chen Daoxuan.

  Therefore, from now on, his name will be Steve Kevin.

  "Kevin, are you okay?"

  The 1.8 meter giant man on the side asked with concern.

  Since Steve Kevin was broken up by Bella three days ago, he has become dull.

  She didn't like to talk, so she just lay quietly on the bed for three days.

  It was hard not to worry him.

  "Thank you, I'm fine, I just figured out something."

  "By the way, Mitt, would you like to complete the graduation project with me?"

  The strong man smiled:

  "Of course, we are the best partners, Ah!"

  Kevin also had a smile on his face.

  During these three days, he didn't say a word. Apart from sorting out the two strands of memory, he was more thinking about his future path.

  He was a director in his past and present lives, and the path he chose in this life is also a director.

  What he has to do is to become a great director like Steven Spielberg.

  This also means that he must continue to succeed in the film industry.

  For directors, the real success does not lie in any art awards.

  But at the box office.

  No matter how many art awards there are, if he fails three films in a row, no one will dare to invest any more money in him.

  But as long as it's consistently successful at the box office.

  Through this status, he can gradually expand his contacts, earn money and gain status.

  The first step is to complete a perfect graduation work.

  That is a movie.

  That's right, Kevin's goal is directed at movies.

  The normal growth path of a director may be from other jobs such as editing and photography, and then grow up step by step as an assistant director and director.

  And such a path, normally speaking, would take at least five to ten years to figure out.

  He doesn't have time to wait for the hard work, and the available memory in his mind is only 30 years. If he can't get a high enough status and money in these 30 years, it means that the memory in his mind The memories of those profits will all lose their effect.

  Such an opportunity was in front of him, how stupid he would be if he missed it.

  After agreeing with my roommates and partners on the goal of completing the graduation project together.

  Kevin immediately began to retreat, picked up a pen and paper, and recalled in his mind which movie he should choose.

  As a student who has not yet graduated, even though he has a certain reputation in the school, no one knows it outside the school.

  This also means that it is difficult for him to attract large investment.

  Therefore, a small-cost movie became his choice.

  Among the low-cost and easily upset movie genres, Kevin instantly thought of horror movies.

  Blood and sex are the two things that are most likely to attract people's attention, and horror movies are undoubtedly a more perfect subject that combines the two.

  But today, what Kevin wants to choose is not a tertiary movie in the shell of a horror movie, but a real classic horror movie.

  [Chain Saw]

  As a classic horror film produced by Lionsgate, he is familiar with all the plots, layouts, and shooting techniques of the film.

  This is also the way many directors learn, that is, to analyze the shooting techniques of certain movies step by step, and analyze the screen frame by frame.

  And in his previous life, the chainsaw was undoubtedly one of the key points he analyzed.

  But before everything starts, what he needs to do is to make a detailed project proposal.

  Hollywood's movies have never been art, but the film industry.

  This also means that if he wants to attract investment, a project proposal that seems feasible is essential.
