356 This Story Is Purely Fiction

Tan Min had no other choice. As a native, participating in the film festival had its advantages, as it was close to home and he had some privileges.

Usually, as he had some reputation as a local, there were people willing to invest in some of his films. However, in the past, he had directed documentary reels about the ocean. Now, he had decided to shoot a movie and he wanted to pull in investors. It was a pity that, given 10 directors, 11 would be looking for investors, and the extra was one who had previously been in a different profession.

For someone who had changed his profession to a director like Tan Min, attracting investors was much harder, more so when he wanted to change his genre. He didn't wish for people's impression of him to always be about ocean documentaries.
