Director: From Failing Grades to Film Legend

Armed with access to a vast database of future films, Chen Ze originally aspired to become a director and bring cinematic masterpieces to life. However, his first major obstacle was not artistic but academic: he faced expulsion due to insufficient course credits. After crossing paths with Anne Hathaway, he devised an unconventional solution—produce a film to secure his graduation requirements while persuading her to star as the lead actress. Thus began Chen Ze’s legendary journey through the film industry. From the Oscars to Europe’s three major festivals, he achieved both critical acclaim and massive commercial success. Years later, when asked about his entry into filmmaking at a prestigious awards ceremony, he simply replied with a shy smile that he had only wanted to earn enough credits to graduate.
