Chapter 758: Can You Not Agree?
"No problem," Xiao Yao nodded, "Is a week enough?" If it's not enough, I'll wait until I choose the filming location and the conditions for the crew's various living measures are determined, and then I can ask you to go to the site to take a look, and then make a decision after you see it." ”
He is not a big director with a title such as "National Teacher", and "Donkey Gets Water" is not a great masterpiece in his eyes, if he wants to pull this artist to the arid Northwest Plateau to endure hardships, he must be willing to go, and he can't fool, otherwise he will be embarrassed to come to him again when there is really a masterpiece in the future.
"Okay," Lin Jingliang smiled, "Then it's decided!"
"After talking about business, let's go down!" Lin Jingliang got up and said, "No matter if you can cooperate this time, you are a guest at home, and you can stay at home for a light meal at noon!"
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, then it's bothering!" Xiao Yao didn't shirk and stood up.
The stairs were connected to the living room, and when the two went downstairs from the study, they saw two women sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing the two of them going downstairs, Mrs. Lin, who was facing their direction, got up and smiled, "Finished talking?"
The young woman sitting next to Mrs. Lin also stood up and turned her head to look at Mrs. Lin's performance.
"Yang Shiyun!" Seeing the appearance of the woman beside Mrs. Lin, Xiao Yao exclaimed in surprise, and immediately turned his head to look at Lin Jingliang beside him, "She is your niece?"
This girl is none other than one of the team members who led in the Creation 101 program last year, Yang Shiyun.
"Senior Xiao Yao!" Yang Shiyun also exclaimed in surprise, "You are your uncle's guest?"
"Yes!" Lin Jingliang, who was about to introduce the two, nodded, and said in surprise, "You know?"
"You don't know that the two of us know each other?" Seeing Lin Jingliang's surprised expression, Xiao Yao said strangely.
"Uncle and aunt really don't know, they haven't watched that show!" Yang Shiyun helped explain, turned to Lin Jingliang and his wife, "My senior and I met in a talent show in the mainland last year. ”
"Talent show?" Lin Jingliang beckoned all four of them to sit down, and asked puzzledly, "You also participated in the talent show last year, and what is the name of the senior?"
"One of our talent shows invited several star seniors who debuted earlier than us as guests," Yang Shiyun said, "Senior Xiao Yao is the star senior of the group of students I am in!"
"It seems that Mr. Lin really doesn't know?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "That show was very popular last summer, and there were billions of video hits on the Internet, is it only popular in the mainland, and no one on Hong Kong Island watches it?"
"I worked as an art director for a film by a French director last year, and I stayed in Europe for most of the year, and most of the time I was not in China," Lin Jingliang said, "Maybe I missed it!"
"Before I went to the show, my aunt and uncle went to Europe together. By the time they returned, our craze had almost passed. Yang Shiyun continued, "Because I didn't make it to the final group list, I was embarrassed to let my uncle and aunt go to the Internet to watch the video, so I didn't tell them about it." ”
"Then aren't you a big loss?" Xiao Yao joked with a smile, "With Mr. Lin's influence, as long as you post two Weibo posts to let everyone know that Mr. Lin is your uncle, you will definitely be able to help you get a lot of votes, and maybe you will end up in the final eleven list." ”
"My uncle's specialty is in cinema and aesthetics, and those fans who like idol groups don't know how many people know their uncle's name. Yang Shiyun said, "That Jiang Mengting is the daughter of such a famous treasure island actor Jiang Wenjun, her father posted on Weibo at the time that he couldn't contact his daughter, how many topics were aroused, and she still didn't get in the end!"
"Yo, do you think your uncle's reputation is not as good as Teacher Jiang Wenjun, so he can't help you?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Who dislikes my uncle's fame is small?" Yang Shiyun said urgently, "Since my debut, I haven't made the relationship with my uncle public, I just don't want to rely on my uncle's fame to help!
"Who said I don't rely on my parents anymore?" Xiao Yao spread his hands and smiled, "My first music work was released in my dad's album, I acted in the first TV series, I was in the same crew as my mother, I acted in the first movie, my mother was the director." When I appeared on the show, everyone not only knew who my parents were, but also who my grandfather was, and did they need them to post on Weibo to help me canvass for votes?"
"You~" Yang Shiyun was speechless for a while, not knowing how to refute.
"Other second-generation stars are afraid that others will say that they rely on their parents' halo," Lin Jingliang said with a smile, "It's the first time I've seen the second generation of stars who say they rely on their parents!"
"In the entertainment industry, the second generation of stars has an advantage over ordinary people. Xiao Yao smiled, "Not to mention that you can get better resources after your debut, the education you have received since childhood is different." This is an indisputable fact, and there is nothing to shy away from!"
"But the second generation of stars is also under more pressure than ordinary people!" Yang Shiyun said, "Do you think that every second generation of stars is like a demon like a senior?"
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a year, and the Chinese has improved a lot!" Xiao Yao smiled and changed the subject.
Since meeting Xiao Yao, Yang Shiyun has always spoken Chinese. The last time I met Yang Shiyun was at the premiere of the animated film "Walli" last year, and the two hadn't seen each other for more than a year. Now Yang Shiyun's Chinese still has an accent, but it is obviously much more comfortable to listen to than when they met last year, at least it did not let Xiao Yao learn her interest in Hong Kong.
"Of course, I don't want you to learn how to speak from me again!" Yang Shiyun wrinkled her nose.
"Your relationship seems to be very good, right?" Mrs. Lin said with a smile as she saw the two talking, "You just participated in the show once?"
"That time the seniors stayed with us for a whole week on the show, and it was the longest time and effort spent on us among all the guests. He was doing the teacher's work, but he asked us to call her senior, not only to take care of us, but also to play with us. Our students like him very much, and they all have a good relationship. Yang Shiyun put her arm around Mrs. Lin and said, "Oh, and he invited me to the premiere of his movie later." It's just that there was no red carpet that time, and there were a lot of big-name celebrities who went, and I didn't get any media coverage!"
"I said, please go to the premiere to watch the movie, whether there are any reporters to report on you, look at your own ability!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"By the way, uncle, what is the senior looking for you?" Yang Shiyun asked Lin Jingliang again, "The two have been talking in the study for so long!"
"Guess what?" said Lin Jingliang with a smile.
"The senior has so many skills, how do I know?" Yang Shiyun counted with her fingers, "He is a photographer, he may ask you to help him prepare for the photography exhibition, he has a fashion brand under his name, he may ask you to help him prepare for the fashion show, he is a director, or you may ask you to help him as an art director." ”
"Why did I ask your uncle for help?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Can't it be your uncle who asked me to help?"
"This is my uncle's house! If my uncle asks you for help, he should be looking for you, and you won't be here now, right?" Yang Shiyun rolled her eyes, "Besides, my uncle's expertise is in film and art, except for music, my uncle doesn't need your help." But my uncle is at home during this time, and he doesn't have a movie project at hand, so it's impossible for you to write songs and make soundtracks for his movies!"
"Your uncle doesn't have a movie at hand, but doesn't he still have your precious niece?" Xiao Yao said, "Your uncle asked me to write a song for you, can't you?"
Lin Jingliang and his wife were stunned, and their expressions changed.
"Really?" Yang Shiyun's eyes lit up and said excitedly.
"What do you think?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Cut~ and deceive!" Yang Shiyun reacted and pouted, "My uncle didn't know that the two of us knew each other before, and you just found out about my relationship with my uncle, so it's impossible for my uncle to ask you to write a song for me!"
"Okay," Lin Jingliang said with a smile, "You guessed correctly in the last one, Xiao Yao asked me to be the art director of his new movie!"
"Is that the movie you said in the group variety show that you made for your girlfriend?" Yang Shiyun asked Xiao Yaodao.
"You also watch their group variety shows?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I thought you wouldn't pay attention to them after you were eliminated!"
"I am now very concerned about the news in the mainland entertainment industry. After that episode aired, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and I certainly know that. Yang Shiyun said, "Besides, although I was eliminated last year, Haiyan also gave me some resources while it was hot, and I have been on some programs, and it is normal to pay attention to Haiyan's dynamics." ”
"Uncle, then you agreed?" Yang Shiyun asked Lin Jingliang again.
"No!" Lin Jingliang shook his head with a smile.
"Huh?" Yang Shiyun cried out in disappointment.
"But I didn't refuse," Lin Jingliang continued, "I need to think about it!"
"What do you need to consider?" Yang Shiyun said, "The box office of the two movies in the past two years has been so powerful, I heard that they are billions." ”
"I read the script and think that it would be good if the box office of this movie could break 100 million, and it would definitely not reach 1 billion. Lin Jingliang glanced at Xiao Yao and said with a smile, "Of course, the box office is not the main factor, what I am pursuing is not a high box office, but a good reputation." The main reason is that his film is a comedy, the artistry is average, the possibility of winning awards is small, and he has to go to the arid plateau area of the northwest of the mainland to shoot, and the conditions are very difficult. ”
"The possibility of winning the award is small, that's because without you, if you join, isn't it more likely to win the award?" Yang Shiyun said, "What's wrong with the difficult conditions? Although I don't know what the great northwest of the mainland is like, haven't you been to the great northwest to film before? Could it be that now that you are famous, you can't endure hardships? This is not your attitude towards pursuing art!"
"Ah Yun has really grown up," Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "This is the first time that your uncle has been questioned by juniors, and he has risen to the height of pursuing an artistic attitude." ”
"Ah Yun," Lin Jingliang said, "You are so positive, do you want to please your senior?"
"Although your uncle hasn't decided whether to agree or not, the conditions have already been negotiated," Xiao Yao also smiled and spread his hands, "I didn't raise the price of your uncle in terms of remuneration, and of course I won't attach any other conditions, it was purely a joke just now!"
"Oh, where do you want to go?" Yang Shiyun exclaimed, "I studied art with my uncle for a long time when I was a child, and I think I still have some cultivation in this area. I have seen all the film and television works made by the seniors, whether it is animated films or live-action films, feature films or short films, including those MVs, I think the pictures and colors in them are very beautiful, and it can be seen that the seniors are also very thoughtful in art. I'd love to see you two talented people work together, and see what your work looks like!"
"Uncle, you are very famous now, of course you are also very powerful, but you don't only cooperate with those old directors and famous directors, right?" Yang Shiyun continued, "Don't you value word of mouth? Of the three film and television works directed by seniors, two have more than eight points and one has more than seven points, and there is no one with less than seven points." Although the senior is only in his early twenties and is not as old as me, I think there is no director under the age of thirty-five in China who is more powerful than the senior!"
"Ouch, I'm embarrassed to say that!" Xiao Yao smiled.
"Are you embarrassed?" Yang Shiyun glanced at Xiao Yao, got up and hugged Lin Jingliang's neck, and said coquettishly, "Uncle, what else is there to consider!"
"You girl!" Lin Jingliang smiled bitterly.
"Okay!" Xiao Yao was really embarrassed this time, turned his head to Yang Shiyun and said, "Your opinion, your uncle has already received it." He'll think about it, so don't dangle it anymore. What a big person, still coquettish!"
"Hmph!" Yang Shiyun snorted at Xiao Yao, but still let go of her hand and sat back.
"You're amazing!" Lin Jingliang rubbed his neck, looked at Xiao Yao and said, "You really got along with each other on the show for a week, and then invited her to see a premiere, haven't you seen each other for more than a year?"
"Uncle!" Yang Shiyun said embarrassedly.
"Okay, I agreed!" Lin Jingliang smiled, "I'll be the art director of this movie!"
"Really?" Yang Shiyun turned her anger into joy.
"Of course it's true!" Lin Jingliang smiled bitterly, "You're like this, can I not agree?"
Although it seems that he is entangled by Yang Shiyun, the reason why Lin Jingliang agreed is actually because the words Yang Shiyun said did move Lin Jingliang.
The director's three works are all scored above seven points, which is indeed not something that any director can easily do. Moreover, Xiao Yao's independent short films and animated films are all above eight points, and the live-action feature film with a score of less than eight points is precisely co-directed by Xiao Yao and others, which can also explain some problems. Thinking about those works, including the MV, Xiao Yao does show merit in terms of art.
In Lin Jingliang's conscience, this is indeed a talented director worthy of working with.
The conditions in the Great Northwest are indeed a little more difficult. But why did Xiao Yao decide to set the filming location in the arid northwest region before he even did the selection of the scene, doesn't it also show that Xiao Yao still has an artistic pursuit of this movie? If he really made this movie just to praise his girlfriend or make his girlfriend happy, where he couldn't shoot it, why did he take his girlfriend to the arid plateau of the northwest for a few months, and his girlfriend even went to experience life for this movie?
