Early in the morning, Wang Yang got up, and he didn't have the habit of lying in bed, because he had to practice boxing for more than half an hour every morning. From childhood to the wind and rain, practicing boxing has long become a part of his life, and if he doesn't practice one day, he will feel uncomfortable all day long. Perhaps because of practicing boxing every day, Wang Yang is tall, not a muscular man like a quarterback, but with even muscles, he is definitely good-looking.

However, Wang Yang's father has his own opinions on why Wang Yang can grow tall and big, and he insists that it is because the nutritious meals in the restaurant are good, and of course, his genes are good.

It is said that the old man used to be an officer of the Beiyang Army, and later came to the United States to pan for gold, and originally said that he would go to Alaska by boat, but he went to San Francisco, at that time, the gold in San Francisco had already been exhausted, and the old man Wu naturally did not succeed in panning for gold, so he made a living in Chinatown, worked for Wang Yang's grandfather, and worked as a second chef in a restaurant.

Old man Wu always said that Wang Yang was lazy and did not practice boxing well, and he did not even inherit his thirty percent of his skills; on the other hand, he also said that Wang Yang was brave and ruthless, so he could not pass on some ruthless tricks to him, so as not to make a big mistake for Wang Yang.

"I was satisfied with being able to strengthen my body and protect myself. Wang Yang practiced one move at a time, and he thought "evilly": "Old fellow, you just watch your tricks disappear!"

After practicing for half an hour and sweating, Wang Yang exhaled a long breath and couldn't help but feel comfortable all over. He changed into clean clothes and looked at the time, half past seven. On the phone last night, Jessica said that she would arrive at about nine o'clock.

So Wang Yang hurried up and went out to the nearby decoration store to buy some putty powder, brushes or something, and rented a ladder, and today's task is to paint all those dilapidated walls white!

When renting a house, a handful of old landlords said that Wang Yang could paint whatever he wanted, provided that he could not use Nippon brand paint. The old white man fought in World War II and was a Marine, while his brother died at the Battle of Iwo Jima.

However, Wang Yang does not plan to paint the walls, it is unnecessary, it is expensive, and it is a waste of time, as long as it is painted with some putty to make the walls look like a new house.

Rao is like this, buying putty powder, brushes and renting ladders also cost him nearly 500 US dollars, which means that the production cost of "Smart - Ghost Shadow" has risen from zero to three figures......

After several hard efforts to move the goods home, Jessica hadn't come yet, so Wang Yang walked around the house, thinking about the script, the layout of the scene, and the arrangement of the shots.

In the later "Ghost Shadow", the whole process of photography was done in the home of producer Oren Paley, but it was an independent big house in the suburbs, not the "apartment" where Wang Yang now lives. So it won't work to move the content and footage of the movie unchanged, of course, Wang Yang didn't think about doing that in the first place.

In fact, whether it is "Blair the Witch" or "Clever - Ghost Record", most of the reasons for their success come from their own creativity, as well as successful publicity, and some luck. As for the film itself, the shooting techniques of pseudo-documentaries are very good, but the content does not say how many classics are filmed, and it definitely has nothing to do with the inability to modify the story and scenes.

In fact, with Wang Yang's love for movies since childhood, years of thinking and accumulation, and systematic study at USC, although he has only been studying for a semester and a half, he has already read all the textbooks and theories in the next few years, well, maybe a little talent of his own.

Anyway, in his opinion, "Smart - Ghost Shadow" needs major surgery, and the original version is not only not suitable for his current situation, but also has many flaws in the movie itself, such as too slow to enter the rhythm, dullness after trying for a long time, etc. Maybe it's Wang Yang's own taste, anyway, he thinks he can do better!

"It's good to place the camera in this position, if the whole hall is dark, the lens should feel good......" Wang Yang touched his chin, turned around the hall, and then chose a position, he squatted down and adjusted the angle of his eyes as if he was setting up a DV camera, looking at the empty hall, but the scenery in his mind was slowly taking shape, muttering: "It's good to place a TV directly opposite the camera, so that the TV screen reflects a figure ......"

Just when Wang Yang was designing these horror scenes, his mobile phone suddenly rang, which startled him when he was so engrossed! He rolled his eyes and muttered: "So I hate horror movies." When he took out his phone, it was Jessica Alba's, and he smiled and said, "Jessica, good morning." ”

"Good morning!" Jessica's voice came from her phone, and she said, "I'm already under your apartment building." ”

"Then you wait, I'll come down and pick you up now. Wang Yang took the thread, pulled a windbreaker from the rotten sofa and draped it, and walked downstairs quickly.

When she came to the outside of the apartment, she saw Jessica smiling and waving in the distance, probably because she knew that today's help was to paint the wall, so she wore a set of jeans and jeans that looked very old. Wang Yang was stunned, because Jessica was also followed by a man, a tall and strong young man, also wearing a denim suit, very handsome, and looking at this side with a not friendly gaze.

"Hi Jan, good morning!" Jessica said hello and turned her hand to the man, "This is Joshua, my ......."

Hello, I'm Jessica's boyfriend. The handsome guy named Joshua was the first to laugh, he seemed to hug Wang Yang enthusiastically, clamped hard, and said with a smile: "Jessica told me, you are her good friend who used to study in San Francisco, right?"

He seemed to want to give Wang Yang a good look, and kept clamping hard, Jessica rolled her eyes on the side, and spread her hands helplessly to Wang Yang to apologize.

"Hello. Although Wang Yang was very disappointed in his heart, he didn't show it at all, he stretched his arms strongly, and he took Joshua away from his body, and said with a smile: "You are really enthusiastic!"

"Oh, dude, it's not a lot of strength!" Joshua picked his arm with an uncomfortable face, he stared at Wang Yang's face, and then said very dissatisfiedly: "Please, aren't you a little unhappy?" Wang Yang wondered: "What do you mean?" Joshua frowned and said, "I'm Jessica's boyfriend! You should be full of frustration, loss, and disappointment!" Wang Yang smiled quietly: "Dude, you are too suspicious." ”

At this time, Jessica, who had not spoken, shook her head and smiled: "Okay, Joshua, end your boring tricks!" She reintroduced to Wang Yang and said: "He is my younger brother, one year younger than me, and now he is also studying in acting school." He's free today, too, so I'm calling him to come and help. ”

She punched Joshua in the arm and said in the tone of her sister, "He's a very naïve person, so Young, don't mind." ”

Joshua Alba?Shit, what kind of joke is this little guy making! Although he scolded Joshua in his heart, Wang Yang still smiled unmindingly: "Your brother, well, very humorous...... Seriously, just now he heard Joshua say that it was Jessica's boyfriend, and his heart was full of shocks.

He glanced at Jessica, was it a delusion? How did he feel that she suddenly became a little unhappy, was it because he didn't show any frustration just now? Or don't think about it, maybe it's just an illusion.

"Come with me, it's windy outside, go to my new home first!"

Wang Yang led the way, Jessica followed, and Joshua walked all the way, looking curiously at his surroundings all the way, and he said with interest: "Wow, I didn't know that Los Angeles had this community, it looks quite backward, is the security here good? You know, I mean, are there gangs or something?"

"No, it's safe. Wang Yang replied bluntly.

Joshua added, "Well, there are no gangsters, but I can't let my sister go alone to meet a stranger, so I'm here." He suddenly accelerated in front of Wang Yang, looked back at Wang Yang, and said with a suspicious expression: "Although you used to be good friends, that was 9 years ago! Oh my God, I was only 7 years old at that time, and I completely forgot about San Francisco! Okay, who knows what you have become now?"

"Joshua!" Hearing him speak more and more, Jessica hurriedly shouted and said angrily, "How can you talk like that?!" She then looked at Wang Yang with an apologetic face and said, "I'm sorry, my brother is just a child. ”

"Oh, kid?" Joshua said unconvinced, "Jessica, you're only a year older than me." ”

"Jessica, it's okay, Joshua is right. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and gave her a smile that didn't mind. Because this is a fact, although he and Jessica tried very well, but now after so many years, who knows who the other party will become? Presumably Jessica herself does not want to come alone, but her brother just said everything. For unknown reasons, Joshua was hostile to him and seemed to be ready to "settle" him.

Do you think I'm pursuing Jessica?

Soon, Wang Yang took the Jessica siblings to his rented apartment, and as soon as he opened the door and entered the house, Joshua shouted "Wow, wow", and said with a shocked face: "Unbelievable! Such a dilapidated house! Oh, my God, if I'm not mistaken, there was a mouse scurrying in front of me just now! Yang, you're just going to make a movie here?"

He looked funny, touched here and there, and saw the camera model in the cardboard box on the table, so he took it out, pretended to be a director, and did antics like a director, and laughed: "Take this picture?"

"That won't work. Wang Yang replied solemnly, completely disagreeing with his offer: "I'm going to rent a DV filming." ”

Joshua...... Can you please shut up for me!" Jessica gritted her teeth and glared at Joshua, "You make me feel ashamed!"

Joshua put the camera model down, raised his hand in surrender, tilted his head and said, "Ok, OK, I'll shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, he added, "But seriously, this house is really broken." ”

Jessica was so angry that she couldn't speak, covering her face with her hands and muttering "Oh God."

"It's really broken, so you have to brush it well, let's start!" Wang Yang didn't want Jessica to be too difficult to do, so he hurriedly let everyone into the work, he assigned gloves, paper hats, brushes and other things to the two of them, and then took out the putty powder to neutralize and stir, and officially started today's wall painting work.

In the process of painting the wall, Jessica wore gloves, a paper hat, and her denim outfit, she painted very diligently and carefully, and she really looked like a decorator.

And Joshua didn't shut up, he still kept talking without words, provoking Wang Yang and asking some difficult questions. He lazily took the brush and nonchalantly painted it on the wall, and then asked, "Jan, do you think that the 'movie' you make will be favored by the distribution company? I just think that if you take a DV machine and fiddle with it, it will be a movie? Then our neighbor's little Mary is fine, she likes to shoot around with a DV camera all day long, oh yes, she's only five years old." ”

"Joshua, believe me, I know what a movie is, and I know what a short film is. Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders again and said, "Of course, maybe that little Mary is making a movie." ”

Jessica was amused by Wang Yang's humor and said, "Joshua, Jan knows more about movies than you, you're just a little actor." ”

"Jan, how much do you think your movie will gross if it hits?" Who would pay a few dollars to watch a home DVD shot?"

"100 million, maybe 200 million. Wang Yang smiled after speaking, indicating that he was joking: "At least the cost can be recovered, and I am still confident in this." ”

"What's your budget? I don't know yet. Joshua asked with interest.

"Ten thousand. Now there are only nine thousand five hundred left, and it cost five hundred to buy these things to paint the walls. ”

"Oh, ten thousand, you don't have a fever, do you?"
