Speaking of which, the goal of being a director is what his cheap dad has always expected of him.

If you really became famous by carrying the film and television works of your previous life, it would also satisfy Tong Chenggang's wishes.

It can be regarded as repaying Tong Yao for this nurturing grace!

It's just that being a director is not as simple as carrying musical works!

Recalling the experience of the original owner, this guy barely studied for a semester in film school.

The rest of the time, he didn't have a good class!

So regarding the director's skills, although Lu Yao inherited all of them, all of them were just the fur of the skin.

Therefore, it is simply impossible to make a fanfare to make a film of "Shanghai Tang" with dozens of episodes now.

Not to mention "Shanghai Tang", even the piano-related movie he has always liked very much, "The Pianist at Sea", he can't make it!

Just about the piano, he might be able to.

But "The Pianist of the Sea" is not about the piano.

The heavy sense of the changes of the times and cultural changes involved in it is completely uncontrollable by a director who only understands the skin.

Not to mention that it's still a foreign film, and it also involves the issue of sinicization.

Just like Director Jiang's line in "Let the Bullets Fly":

The road should be taken step by step, and the meal should be eaten one bite at a time.

The steps are too big, and it's easy to pull the eggs!

After combining a number of factors, he clarified his next goals:

Make up for your knowledge of directing as soon as possible, and at the same time choose small-budget and short-term works from your memories to try your hand at it.

It's just that it's not easy to find such works!

He pondered.

While thinking, I boredly swiped the phone screen.

Inadvertently, he clicked into the MV he released, "What kind of man".

In an instant, he had a flash of inspiration.

Pregnant!

Music Films!

This is a great film.

Chopsticks Brothers' "Old Boy"!

He vaguely remembers the scene when he first saw this micro-film, and he burst into tears.

The scene in the micro-movie, paired with that song, gave him countless touches.

The longest of the 11-degree youth short series of "Old Boys", and the most popular film, tells the story of a pair of good friends from middle school who form a band to participate in the "Happy Boys" talent show when they are middle-aged, because a song brings them back to their youth and the past.

This touching "Old Boy" theme song also touched all the audience.

He also remembers one of the most memorable comments:

The film narrates these young people and the changes of this era with gorgeous lenses, why are we so moved? The reason may be the same, that is, after years of training, there are memories as bright as diamonds, maybe we can all find our own shadows in this light and shadow, find our own memories of time, and memories of youth.

The black humor in the play resonates with both those who grew up in that era and the young people of today.

When everyone is young, in their youthful years, there will be a lot of uninhibited ideas and a lot of wild dreams.

But when we are in our 30s, and the years of establishment pass quietly, life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing our appearance, those who used to accompany me, where are you? What are you doing?

Do you remember those days of youth? Do you remember those dreams that we once had? When you think of these things, do you smile softly? Do you leave tears of vicissitudes or happiness?"

This work is very low-cost, the production is not well-made enough, and the story is very ordinary.

But that didn't stop it from catching fire.

Just as goldfish rods and goldfish hooks may not be able to catch fish, big-budget and big-budget movies will overturn.

Because it's the kernel that counts.

The reason why "Old Boy" is popular is precisely because it is a good work that can touch the heart and resonate!

It's decided: just shoot this one!

Lu Yao thought to himself.

"I wanted to make a short film about music. He solemnly informed Xue Jingshu and Xu Xian of his thoughts.

Xue Jingshu smiled at her aunt again.

Xu Xian was flashing with big eyes, not knowing why.

"Okay, why do you suddenly want to make a movie? You have so many excellent composers and lyricist 'friends', isn't it nice to be a famous musician?"

The word "isn't it fragrant" is also a new word she has learned after listening to Lu Yao talk a lot recently.

"Well, I thought: making movies and making music don't conflict. The background music and theme song of the movie can be added together!"

"You're talking lightly. Although you are a director professional, you were fired within a few days, how much do you know about the skills of making movies?" Xu Xian poured cold water and said: "Besides, the money is not enough, the actors are undecided, and the script is not available for the time being, what do you shoot?"

“...... There will always be money, actors can be found now, and scripts are ready-made. ”

"Have a ready-made script?" Xu Xian expressed doubt: "You don't want to tell me: You have a friend who can write scripts, right?"

"You guessed it!"

“......”

Facing the scrutiny of the two beauties, Lao Zhang's mood was both excited and apprehensive.

He didn't expect that his shattered dream of being a playwright would have the possibility of being rekindled!

When Lu Yao found him and said that he wanted to make a movie by himself and wanted him to come over to help with the script, he couldn't believe his ears for a while.

But that's just for a moment.

After a few seconds, he agreed.

There was no reason why he wouldn't agree, after all, it was his dream to write a script.

If it had been before, he might have doubted Lu Yao's ability.

But now, after knowing Lu Yao's life experience and learning that he is the son of the great director Tong Chenggang, he no longer has any worries.

The son of a great director!

The son inherits his father's business and makes movies, it's very reasonable!

So he quickly negotiated a contract with Xue Jingshu and signed a deed of sale.

From now on, he will be Lu Yao's person!

"Tell me, what kind of movie do you want to make, and I'll do my best to write a script that satisfies you!" he said enthusiastically.

Lu Yao smiled awkwardly.

"Hehe, it's like this, Lao Zhang: I probably already have a framework for the basic story structure, including the main characters, plot directions, important lines, and so on.

In short, I have a score for the specific pictures, that is, I don't know much about how to present these pictures to the actors in the form of scripts and words, so I asked you to help.

Let's put it this way: you don't have to write a new script, you just need to work with me to improve the existing one, you know what I mean?"

Lao Zhang couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Damn, the emotional Lao Tzu is a tool man?"

He thought depressedly.

Xu Xian had another idea.

"According to you, the music in the movie?"

"Well, yes, that's right. "Lu Yao understands in seconds.

She shrugged helplessly and mocked, "You have it again?"

"What's 'there' and 'gone', talk well, it's easy to misunderstand!"

"Make something out of nothing (friends)!"
