"Jessica, I want to be a director, I want to make movies, I started thinking about it when I was very young. And now, I've decided, I'm going to take action, not just to think about it, I'm going to make a movie!

Hearing Wang Yang's categorical words, Jessica was stunned: "Make a movie?" She reacted, and could only think of one possibility, and asked: "Do you mean to write a good script, and then find investors to attract investment to shoot it?"

To her surprise, Wang Yang immediately shook his head: "No, I'm not going to pull investment, and with my current resume, I can't pull it." So, I'll invest in it myself!" he took a sip of the new coffee handed by the waiter, with a goal in mind, and the coffee was not so bitter, and said with a smile: "Except for the actor, I am not the right actor, and I will do all the other work." Of course, I'll talk about the release later, I don't want to think about it so much now, I'm going to make the movie first!"

"Do you want to invest yourself?" Jessica was stunned, in her impression, to shoot a movie, even if it is a low-budget independent film, it will cost millions and hundreds of thousands, right? She remembered that Wang Yang's family owned a restaurant and was not rich, so where did he find the money to shoot it? Puzzled, she asked, "Yang, can you tell me, what is your budget?"

Wang Yang smiled mysteriously, held up a finger, and said, "10,000 US dollars! Jessica, my budget is only 10,000 US dollars." He laughed and spread his hands and said, "That's all my net worth." ”

Jessica was stunned again, 10,000 dollars, how much film is enough to buy, how long is enough to make a movie? She said incomprehensibly, "Young, you're not kidding, are you? How can 10,000 dollars make a movie?"

"Quite simply, I'm making DV movies. Wang Yang smiled and unveiled the mystery, DV film is a new way of filming, using the characteristics of digital, no need to burn expensive film, no need for a huge shooting crew, but also let many young people like Wang Yang lack funds have the opportunity to display their talents. He said confidently: "I haven't thought about the script of the movie yet, but I already have an idea." ”

He looked at Jessica, who still looked confused and skeptical, and couldn't help asking, "What? Jessica, don't you believe it?"

"Oh, no, no, no......" Jessica quickly denied it, and said with a serious face: "Young, if you want to make a movie, I absolutely support you, and I want to give you the help I can! Good friends should help each other, right? But your plan ......" She frowned, shook her head, and said, "I don't understand, how to make a movie for 10,000 dollars?" Maybe I don't have that concept in my head. ”

"10,000 US dollars is enough, enough to make a good movie!" Wang Yang's expression also became serious, and said, "Jessica, trust me! You will see it, but I need your support!"

Jessica looked into his eyes, nodded solemnly, and said, "Yang, I believe in you, you will do it!"

"Thank you!" Wang Yang laughed, with the support of others, the heart that had been depressed and suppressed for days finally became much more comfortable, and this feeling was very good.

At this time, a mobile phone rang suddenly, and Jessica said "I'm sorry", and took out her mobile phone from her delicate leather bag and connected: "Mom, oh, I know, I'll go home for dinner." Well, I was going to go home after watching Titanic, but guess what happened! I met a classmate in San Francisco at the movie theater! Oh, he's different, he's a very good friend of mine. ”

She smiled at Wang Yang and continued, "I'm in the café with him now. Well, I'll go back right away. After hanging up the phone, she shook the phone in her hand and said, "I have to go home." ”

Jessica's family is Catholic, and her father used to be a soldier, so she has been very strict since she was a child. This is what Wang Yang knew before, and besides, it was really late now, so he nodded and said, "Well, then let's pay for it." ”

"Yang, do you have a mobile phone? This is my mobile phone number, this is my MSN number......" Jessica took out a piece of paper and a pen from her purse, quickly wrote down her mobile phone number and MSN number, and then pushed the paper and pen to Wang Yang's side.

"This is my ...... However, the internet is not installed in the place where I rented. Wang Yang took the pen and paper, wrote his mobile phone number and msn number in the blank space under the paper, then tore the paper in half, and pushed the pen and paper back: "Okay." ”

Jessica looked at the number on the paper, then put it back in her purse, and said happily: "Then if you have anything to help with, look for me, and you have figured out what movie to make, remember to tell me, I really want to know how to make a movie for 10,000 dollars." ”

"Okay, I will. Wang Yang shook the paper in his hand and said with a smile: "You can't let Peter steal it this time." ”

"Then you have to keep it. Jessica smiled sweetly as well.

The two paid the bill and went out of the café, Wang Yang helped Jessica hail a taxi, Jessica held the car door, looked at Wang Yang and said softly: "Yang, I am really happy today, thank God for seeing you as a good friend again." Wang Yang smiled: "Me too." Jessica stooped into the car, made a phone gesture, and smiled, "Stay in touch!" I'm leaving, bye-bye!"

"Bye-bye!" Wang Yang waved his hand and watched the taxi leave.

After returning to the previous cinema to retrieve his cardboard box, Wang Yang also took the bus home. The place where he lives now is a relatively remote and backward community in Los Angeles, and the apartment building he lives in is also very dilapidated, full of rusty iron stairs, and the corridors are full of boxes of sundries.

Wang Yang's rented house was very simple, the white ash on the walls had fallen off, it was all some furniture that was quickly rotting, there were few electrical appliances, and as soon as he opened the door, he even saw a mouse scurrying in front of him.

"Oh my God, Brother Mouse, don't you ever eat my sandwich, it's my dinner!" Wang Yang shouted, hurriedly put down the cardboard box, walked quickly to the same humble kitchen, and lifted the lid of the pot, fortunately, the sandwich was still there!

He breathed a sigh of relief, he was hungry after a busy day, so he simply took it out and ate it. While eating, he sat down on the sofa with several big holes, thinking about today's events, he actually felt a little "reborn", there were really too many things happening today.

The events in life are really amazing, he has forgotten Jessica Alba, and he will reunite with her today, and after he was hit by a BB car, he magically saw a movie from the future......

Well, since God has given him this gift, he must grasp it well, he can't let himself go with the flow! Wang Yang finished a sandwich in a few bites, leaned back on the sofa in a comfortable position, closed his eyes, and slowly entered the movie library in his mind.

What he needs is a low-budget movie, and the lower the cost, the better! Thinking about it, a bunch of movies come to mind, most of them are comedies, but when he looks at the cost, most of them are millions of dollars in production fees, Wang Yang couldn't help but mutter: "If it's lower, it's lower......

So, a whole bunch of movies disappeared, and only a few remained, and he looked at them carefully, and two of them were the most suitable for his current situation, the first was "Blair the Witch", and the second was "Spirit-Ghost Record".

Both films are ultra-low-budget horror films, both shot on DV cameras, and they use a pseudo-documentary approach that is technically unfetched by the film "Blair the Witch."

"Blair the Witch", a film that cost only $60,000 to make, probably tells the story of October 1994, when three film students came to Bulltown with DV cameras to investigate the local legend about Bull witches. In search of the Blair witch, they traveled to the Black Mountain Forest near the town, but soon disappeared.

Later, people and the U.S. government searched for them, using helicopters and even satellites, but there was no trace of them, so people had to give up the search work.

A year later, several more students went on an expedition to the Black Mountain Forest, and they found a package in a very secluded cabin in the mountain forest, which contained the diary of one of the previous missing students, Haci, and a film copy disc that had been edited to record all the horrors that had occurred when the three of them disappeared a year earlier.

This is the story of "Blair the Witch", when the film was promoted, it was said that the film was adapted and processed from that copy disk, and it seemed to be a true story, but in fact, everything was just a movie.

But this kind of propaganda, and the cinematic technique of pseudo-documentary, has opened up a new situation. If nothing else, "Blair the Witch" will be released next year, and then grossed 140 million in North America, plus 108 million overseas, and 248 million dollars worldwide! Look at its production cost, 60,000 US dollars.

Another "Spirit-Ghost Record" is about a young couple who move into a new home, a big house in the suburbs, but there seems to be something unclean in the house, and various supernatural phenomena often occur, and noises come from nowhere. The couple decided to replace their sleeping selves with a video camera to see what was really going on in the house. So, they set up cameras in all corners of the house, hoping to capture the ghosts. However, this has brought them a terrible end.

The production cost of this movie released in 2009 is even lower, only 11,000 US dollars! and the box office, 107 million in North America, 85 million overseas, and 193 million worldwide.

Wang Yang almost didn't have to think about it, so he chose "Agility - Ghost Shadow Record". For several reasons, "Blair the Witch" was supposed to be released next year, so maybe it has been filmed now, and even if it is not filmed, there is a risk of crashing later, while "Smart-Ghost Record" will not be released until 2009, so there is no need to worry about crashing, and most importantly, he only has $10,000 on hand now.

"Okay, let me see what this movie is like...... Wang Yang selected "Spirit-Ghost Shadow", and then "played" it in his mind, and after an hour and a half, he stood up in a cold sweat, exhaled a long breath, and said uncertainly: "Although there is a large section in the middle that is very stuffy, I was almost scared to death in the end......

"Agile - Ghost Record...... Smart - Ghost Shadow Record ......" Wang Yang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and read to himself, although he has not seen many horror movies, he dares to say that this one is definitely good. He looked around the house, as long as he renovated this house, wouldn't it be a scene in a movie? The scenes of the movie were not difficult, of course he could shoot them......

Thinking of this, Wang Yang waved his fist and shouted, "Just shoot it out!"

After determining the movie to be filmed, Wang Yang suddenly felt his blood boiling, and he was very excited to walk around the house, wanting to share the news with others! He remembered Jessica again, so he took out the piece of paper with her mobile phone number and dialed it with his mobile phone.

Soon connected, and heard Jessica's voice "Hello" from there, Wang Yang immediately said: "Jessica, it's me, Yang." Didn't bother you, did you?"

"No, I didn't go to bed so early. Hah!" Jessica laughed over there, and the smile must have been sweet.

Wang Yang said excitedly: "Jessica, I have good news for you, I have already finalized what movie to make! ”

"Oh, so fast, can you tell me about it?" Jessica said excitedly.

"It's a horror film, probably about a couple moving to a new home,......" Wang Yang told the story of "Clever - Ghost Shadow", and finally said: "The key is this kind of 'pseudo-documentary' film shooting technique, which will be a pioneering feat! I just need to renovate the house I live in now, and then rent some furniture and electrical appliances, even DV machines, and then go to Hollywood to find actors." Haha, $10,000 is enough to shoot!"

Jessica complained, "Young, it's night! Do you want to give me nightmares?" As soon as she finished speaking, she laughed again and said, "Sounds interesting, so can I be the heroine of the movie?"

This one...... Wang Yang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, Jessica, you are not suitable for this role." I need a woman who looks like she's about twenty-five years old, you're too young. And ......" he joked: "You're so pretty, it will distract the audience and keep them from being terrified." ”

"Oh, that's it......" Although she was praised by Wang Yang, Jessica's tone was full of regret, and she said, "Then I can always help, right?"

Wang Yang smiled: "Of course, I will start working tomorrow." Are you free to help?"

"Well, I'm free. Jessica then resumed her laughter.

The two chatted for a while, agreed on tomorrow's affairs, and said goodnight to each other. Wang Yang took a bath, brushed his teeth, and threw himself on the bed in the room, tired from a day, he had long wanted to sleep, so he fell asleep quickly.

He had a dream, dreaming that at the annual Oscars, on the long red carpet, Jessica, who was wearing a beautiful evening dress, held his hand, and the two of them walked into the awards venue with a smile, and the reporters on both sides of the red carpet kept pressing the shutter of the camera, the sound of clicking, and the flash shining dazzlingly.

"Jessica, Jessica, look over here! Young, Young, this way, this way!" the reporters shouted, trying to attract their attention, and another reporter asked loudly: "Jan, Jessica, do you think tonight's best director and best actress will be you?"

"Jan, I heard that you and Jessica have known each other since childhood, and have agreed to be directors and actors in the future, is that true?" asked another reporter.

Wang Yang was just about to answer, but suddenly found that why were the reporters and photographers holding DV cameras in their hands?

……

Meanwhile, in an upscale residential neighborhood in Los Angeles, Jessica is also asleep in her dreams.

In her dream, she went back to the second grade of elementary school, when she came to the new school and was led by the teacher to the classroom, which was almost full of classmates, even though it was early in the morning.

The teacher clapped his hands, quieted everyone down, and said, "Guys, starting today, we have a new friend, and she is Jessica Alba, who has transferred from the school. Welcome! Applause from everyone!"

There were just a few lazy applause in the classroom, and the bad boy Peter booed, but the teacher ignored him and said, "Now, Jessica, you can introduce yourself." ”

Jessica was shy and timid, shy for a while, before she said, "Hello everyone, I'm Jessica Alba, I like dogs, I like movies......"

"Like dogs, haha......" At this time, Peter laughed loudly, so that Jessica did not dare to say any more, she felt uncomfortable, as if everyone in the audience was laughing at her, laughing at her buckteeth, laughing at her braces, her accent......

The teacher glared at Peter, and said solemnly, "Peter, it's very rude to interrupt someone talking!Do you know?" The teacher asked Jessica again, "Jessica, is there anything else to tell you?" Jessica quickly shook her head vigorously, and the teacher said, "Okay, then Jessica, where do you want to sit?" He glanced at the students below, but who he looked at, the child turned his head over, with a reluctant face, only Wang Yang, who was sitting alone at the back, did not tilt his head, and the teacher said: " Then Jessica, you sit next to Wang Yang, Yang, you have to take care of Jessica a little!"

"Ok, no problem!" Xiao Wang Yang nodded with a grin.

Little Jessica walked down timidly with her head down, sat down in her place, and quietly put textbooks and other things in the drawer, she found that the person next to her named Wang Yang had been staring at her with a smile, and she felt even more uneasy.

"Hello, my name is Wang Yang. At this time, Wang Yang introduced himself, and he said a little excitedly: "I also like movies, I think we will have common topics." Have you seen Cinema Paradiso? Wow, that movie is amazing! I love Alferdo, he's so funny...... Unfortunately, I never knew what film Efedo had cut, because when I finally looked at it, my mother covered my eyes and said that I would not be able to read it until I was older...... I thought, when I grow up, I have to be a director like Duoduo to be qualified to watch those films? You think, Alferdo is a director, he can watch it, and then Duoduo becomes a director, he can watch it......"

Jessica didn't say a word from beginning to end, just quietly listened to Wang Yang's endless talking, her body gradually relaxed, and the uneasiness in her heart became less and less......

ps: Everyone remember to smash the ticket!
