In the evening, the two of them had a home-cooked dinner with Yang Zhu casually;

"Mr. Yang, the barista's expression in the afternoon is simply wonderful!" Lan Yan said vaguely while holding half of a braised lion's head.

Yang Zhu smiled: "That place was originally a beverage shop that fooled young people, and the barista invited from abroad was just a gimmick, what level can it be." ”

Yang Minna was eating obediently on the side, listening to the chatter between the two, just smiling and laughing, and did not interject into the conversation.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, I've thought about it, if I can scrape together about 3 million, do you think you can make a movie?" Lan Yan asked half-tentatively.

"It doesn't need to be a big scene, it's just an ordinary urban story, similar to our graduation project. Nana and I don't want to be paid, even if there are no theaters willing to be on it, it doesn't matter, anyway, it can be broadcast online;"

"We just want to try our skills to see if we can play other roles well, and if we have the opportunity to audition in the future, at least we have a work to prove that we can try new roles. ”

Lan Yan said seriously, as if he really wanted to fight.

Yang Zhu looked at her, pondered for a while, and then said:

"First of all, three million is enough to make a small-budget movie, not every movie needs to invest a lot of money, and I think you know how much water is in those movies that claim to invest hundreds of millions of dollars. ”

"But, whether I approve of you doing this or not, do you have a good idea of what kind of movie you're going to make?"

"What kind of movie to make?"

"A serious movie that reflects a realistic theme, or a light-hearted popcorn movie?"

"Have you thought about the script outline, character positioning, character characteristics, line style, venue selection, group performance budget, props budget, shooting style, and who will be in charge of the camera and editing?"

"If I were you, I would first get a script, first think about how well I match this script, whether there can be a breakthrough in this role, or how much benefit this role can bring to me, and then think about how to shoot this movie, what kind of standard the shots and venue props should be, and finally determine the investment amount. ”

"When you figure out the most basic things, you can have a rough assessment of whether this money is worth throwing into it. ”

Lan Yan thought for a moment, and then said with some frustration: "Yes, there is not even a script, saying that these are all empty." ”

"However, for a slightly better literary work, its adaptation rights will cost hundreds of thousands, and it has long been bought by other companies;"

"I have seen their works before, so I may be very good in some places, but I always feel that something is not touching me. ”

"And other screenwriters who are mixed in the film and television industry, we are not familiar with each other, where to get the script, this question worries me to death!"

"To be honest, if I don't have a good script, I'd rather not shoot it!"

Yang Zhu smiled and didn't talk.

When you first enter the entertainment industry, it is not a good thing for a girl with a temperament like Lan Yan.

Yang Minna on the side suddenly spoke:

"Teacher Yang, when you taught us before, didn't you have a deep grasp of each role?"

"And the movement tells us how to play this role from a global perspective, how to interact with other characters as a whole, and what role needs to be expressed. ”

"So, I've always felt that Mr. Yang, you should have your own ideas about plot control;"

"And...... Didn't you say you're going to change careers to become screenwriters?"

"You see if this will work, we will simply hire you to write a script for Lan Lan, the cost, you can just ask, as long as it is not beyond our affordability. ”

Lan Yan suddenly realized: "Yes, I almost forgot, Mr. Yang, you have changed careers to become a screenwriter now!"

Yang Zhu had a black line, and then remembered his casual flickering this afternoon;

Pingbai has attracted such a thing for himself, is it considered to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot?

hurriedly refused: "No, no, I'm just planning to change careers, don't look at what I said at that time, but in fact, I have never written a script before, in case the script written by that time is rotten and stinks, wouldn't it hurt you?"

Lan Yan thought he was modest:

"Teacher Yang, don't be modest, I think you can do it!"

"With your ability and understanding of the two of us, even if the whole script needs to be polished, you will definitely be able to write our characters outstandingly;"

"For us, the characters in this film can make people shine and let others know that we can not only play the master and the oiran, and that's enough!"

Yang Zhu pondered, if he just wrote a script, it would be nothing, anyway, there was nothing to do recently.

He suddenly remembered a question and said to Yang Minna: "Yang Minna, you just kept saying that I would write a script for Lan Yan, but you didn't mention yourself, don't you plan to act?"

Yang Minna nodded: "Well, I'll continue to shoot my TV series, different from Lan Lan, acting in movies...... I'm not at this level yet. ”

Blue Smoke is a little anxious:

"Nana, you are stupid, can acting in a movie be the same as acting in a TV series?"

"Listen to me, you also get involved, what if any film director falls in love with you?"

"When the time comes, you will be a movie, how majestic it will be to say it!"

Yang Minna hesitated for a while, but still shook her head:

"No, I'd better continue to act in my TV series;"

"You know my temperament, I don't have so many ambitions, I'm very happy to be able to act in a good TV series;"

"Moreover, at my level, if I really act in a movie, it will definitely be a box office poison, and it will be embarrassing to have to go back to the TV drama circle to develop under the name of [movie actor]. ”

"You are different from me, you were born to eat the bowl of movies, you have good appearance conditions, and you have talent for acting, as long as the timing is right, you will definitely become an instant hit. ”

"Besides, even if you are unlucky one day and you can't find a job in the film industry, isn't there still a little shrimp like me in the TV circle who can let you eat and drink, and by the way, help you pull the role?"

After listening to Yang Minna's explanation, although Lan Yan was a little angry, she no longer persuaded her.

Yang Zhu on the side looked at Yang Minna with slightly appreciative eyes, and said in his heart, this girl is not only very virtuous, but also considerate of others.

Why is his own level limited, he doesn't dare to act in movies or something, that's just the nonsense of a newcomer like Lan Yan, who has just debuted;

Hehe, a movie with two heroines, how can there be a movie with a single heroine that is of great benefit to Blue Smoke?

..................

"Have you figured out what kind of movie to make?"

"Or rather, what do you want to achieve with this movie?"

"Is it simply to improve your acting skills, or do you want to change your inherent image, want to please a wave of audience, or do you want to make a movie with a little depth and make yourself a little hot?"

After the meal, the three of them casually found a drink, Yang Zhu held a straw in his mouth, drank watermelon juice without a sip, and asked.

Blue Smoke is extremely entangled, isn't it a small-budget movie, how can there be so many multiple-choice questions?

What Mr. Yang said, she really wants, but she also knows that it is impossible, it is not easy for an actor to do one of them well in his life.

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally gave up completely: "Teacher Yang, I don't know, otherwise, you can help me choose, anyway, you also know our situation; ”

Listening to Lan Yan's almost tricky words, Yang Zhu almost laughed angrily,

Let me call the shots?

What's going on?

In case the effect is not satisfied, or the audience feedback is poor, are you going to let me take this responsibility?

Hehe, someone does the thing of stealing meat and getting beaten, and the thing of stealing and getting beaten is done by fools!

refused without hesitation: "No, since this movie was funded by you, then you must bear the main responsibility, not to mention anything else, the general direction must be decided by you!"

Yang Minna on the side seemed to see Yang Zhu's concerns, and bit her ear with Lan Yan, and then said:

"Teacher Yang, you are too worried, Lan Lan really doesn't know how to choose, and we trust you very much, so I asked you to help her get an idea, which is definitely not what you think. ”

"Teacher Yang, we can be regarded as your students, please believe that our request just now is not calculated in any way. ”

Yang Zhu looked at Yang Minna's sincere expression, as well as the blue smoke that kept nodding on the side, pondered it carefully, and felt that he seemed to be overly worried;

Of course, the most important thing is that he believes in Yang Minna relatively well, if it was only Lan Yan himself, he would not believe it all.

Nodding, Yang Zhu agreed to accept this, and then began to think, on the one hand, he was thinking about how to maximize the utility of a three-million-dollar small-scale film on Blue Smoke, and on the other hand, he was thinking about how to avoid losing face in front of his students as a teacher.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly had a thought, wasn't he arranging an external [attack plan] during this time?

Why can't you try [Defense Plan] with this low-budget movie?

After skimming his mind for a moment, he felt that it was completely feasible, so he stared at the blue smoke and said:

"So, you go to the bathroom first, take off all your makeup, and then I'll see what you can do. ”

、

Although Lan Yan was a little reluctant to scrap the makeup that took her an hour and a half to paint, she also knew that movie shots and TV series shots have completely different requirements for actors' faces, and if you don't look at no makeup, you can't see what type of role you are suitable for.

So with a little grievance, Shi Shiran went to the bathroom;

Ten minutes later, Blue Smoke walked back, looking a little unnatural;

Yang Zhu smiled, and he didn't know what these young women thought now, as if they didn't feel safe without makeup than without clothes.

Looking at her face carefully,

Well, except for the slightly paler complexion and the obvious dark circles under the eyes, the rest has not changed much, after all, he is still young, and the foundation is there.

The most important thing is that after being completely without makeup, the foxy feeling of blue smoke has been reduced by three points, but the sense of innocence has increased a few bits;

Yang Zhu looked left and right, and asked her to tie a ponytail at will.

Sure enough, after tying the ponytail, almost no one at this age would pay attention to her faint foxiness, and instead of appreciating the beauty of "youth and invincible".

Yang Zhu nodded with satisfaction, having a plan in his heart, and said:

"Again, your basic conditions are very good, and you can try many character routes;"

"But in my opinion, since you want to maximize the utility of these three million, you might as well be bold and try some sensitive subjects, so that your image can be subverted and your acting skills can be intuitively expressed,"

"At the same time, maybe you can brush a wave of presence in the film industry, and really set foot in the film industry from now on,"

"And if you're lucky, this kind of movie that wins with the theme has a little more social influence, congratulations, you can barely be called a [movie coffee]!"

Lan Yan was a little excited when he heard this, but soon hesitated:

"Mr. Yang, if a movie with a sensitive theme is made well, it is naturally easy to add points,"

"However, I'm afraid that I will encounter some strong intervention from the outside world at that time,"

"Just the year before last, that very famous TV series, "Snail House", wasn't it ordered to be cut in half after only half of the broadcast?"

Yang Zhu smiled: "The situation of "Snail House" at that time was a special case, it was cut in half, for many reasons, you only saw that its subject matter was sensitive, but you didn't see that it actually violated the actual interests of various real estate developers and a lot of municipal money bags;"

"There is a good saying, interests are divided into soft and hard levels, if you only infringe on my soft interests, then we can still have a gentleman's war, but if you violate my hard interests, then I'm sorry, I can only do whatever it takes!"

"Therefore, it is also a sensitive subject, and there are many of them, you look at Zhang Guoshi and them, this scale is very good, many of his early films, not only to some extent awakened the public's attention to some bad social phenomena, but also did not make the above feel that the drug was too ruthless, so as to make some tough measures;"

"Therefore, if we have a good grasp of the scale, the things you are worried about will not appear for the time being. ”

Lan Yan thought about it, nodded, and agreed with Yang Zhu's statement, why did Zhang Guoshi's movies such as "Xia Ju Fights a Lawsuit" and "Ride Alone for a Hundred Miles" win so many awards in a grand manner, but the more wonderful movie "Alive" he made has encountered various interventions, the key of which is the word "scale".

So she asked, "Mr. Yang, what kind of script are you going to write, and to what extent is the scale vernier stuck?"

Yang Zhu thought for a while: "The so-called [education is the last line of defense in the world that can show fairness], then our subject matter is education." ”

"As for the scale of the vernier, although the discussion on the topic of education has been very hot in recent years, and no measures have been taken above, but for the sake of safety, we clearly hit the board on the teacher, but in fact, we hit the board on the [educational philosophy], to put it bluntly, it is to praise [serious education] and criticize [happy education];"

"In this way, it can not only allow more people to understand the true value of education, but also cause people to reflect, as seen above, and because it involves [the battle of ideas], it does not involve further content, and there will not be too much intervention for us."

Although the two didn't know what standard Yang Zhu wanted to put the scale of the script in, they could hear that he didn't plan to write this movie as a "banned film", and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Nacheng, we thank Mr. Yang, when this movie shines, I will definitely give you a big red envelope!"

Lan Yan obviously fell into a state similar to "MLM frenzy", if you don't know the truth, you still think that this movie has been a box office hit.

Looking at the blue smoke on YY, Yang Zhu inadvertently showed a weird smile on his face,

It was as if a science maniac had discovered a guinea pig that had intrigued him so much......
