“.. I remember it was the busiest year since my debut.." Yang Yang said: "I want to see it."

Yang Yang counted carefully: "In that year, I filmed "Fairy Sword", "Psychological Crime", and "Legend of the Silver Moon"... and ran to a lot of dramas as a supporting role.."

Yang Yang didn't say the name of a play, and someone in the audience made a soft shout, "Fairy Sword" and "Psychological Crime" These plays, each of which can be called a boutique of the same type, have caused a boom when they were just broadcast.

Especially "Fairy Sword", the pioneering work of domestic Xianxia dramas, now there will be fixed rolling broadcasts on TV stations every summer file, and the ratings are still very high.

That's the charm of the classics.

Yang Yang continued: ". . . Then one day, my college roommates, a few good friends, came to me and said, Yang Yang, why don't we make a movie together.."

"Yang Yang mentioned us! mentioned us.."

Offstage, An Ping pulled Xu Chenghe's arm with Yu Bo with an excited expression.

Xu Cheng and the two nodded helplessly, "I heard it, I heard it."

At that time, I acted in a few movies, and I never thought about making movies. But at that time, he was young and vigorous, and he originally came to be a director, and he agreed to come down as soon as his brain was hot.."

Yang Yang had a smile of memory on his face, "Later, I had my first work - "Secret Room". ”

As Yang Yang's first film work, "Secret Room" is only a short film, but it has been praised and appreciated by many people.

It is also known as Yang Yang's most aura work, and some professors of Nortel's performance department and directing department have also used this movie as a teaching material case for several lessons.

Yang Yang on the stage continued: ". . . "The Chamber of Secrets", as my first work, poured almost all my heart and soul into it at that time. Although there are still many shortcomings and regrets in looking back on it now, one of my favorite movies is still it.."

"The Chamber of Secrets won first place in the National Young Directors Competition that year, and also won the honor of Best Film at the Nottingham Short Film Festival in the United Kingdom. But what it means to me the most is not these honors, but, because of it, I felt the charm of directing for the first time... At this point, it is out of control.."

After Yang Yang finished speaking, the audience applauded.

Yang Yang smiled, and then slowly told the story of each movie he had filmed along the way. He mentioned his obsession with filming "Those Years", his regrets and frustration when filming "Little Master", and the challenge of filming "Lover"... In the end, the most important point is "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

"Before filming the film "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", I always had a general idea in my head that I wanted to make a film about killers... Because I think killers are cool and I love it... Then I met director Goodrich in Cannes, and he asked me for coffee in order to invite me to his new film, which later became "The Killer"..."

Goodrich once invited Yang Yang to participate in the movie?

This exciting news made everyone in the audience exclaim, what a rare opportunity for an international director like Goodrich to take the initiative to invite a Chinese actor. But this is not the point of the matter, the point is that Yang Yang not only rejected Goodrich's invitation, but also shot a movie with the same theme as him, and finally blew up the other party at the box office and word of mouth, which is a slap in the face.

“... Although I regret not participating in the film directed by Goodrich, it is precisely because of his inspiration that the story of "This Killer is Not Too Cold" in my mind is gradually fuller... I can say that he gave me the inspiration to create."

If Yang Yang's words were heard by Goodrich, he would definitely be half angry, but Yang Yang didn't care, because he was giving a speech in China, and Goodrich didn't have a chance to hear it, so whatever he said.

At this time, the beautiful host sitting next to Yang Yang asked: "After the film was released, many people had a question, Yang Yang, how did you come up with matching a little girl as the heroine for a ruthless killer... Aren't all the glamorous girls we usually see in killer movies?"

Yang Yang smiled and replied: "This is also the central idea I want to express through the movie - the two-sided nature of human nature. A killer has a cold side, and he should also have a warm side. From this point of view of the dissecting of the killer, it is very unique... As for the heroine, Lori and uncle, don't you feel very loving?"

There was a chuckle in the audience, and the host laughed too, and then she asked, "So, did you encounter any difficulties during the filming of this film?"

Yang Yang was silent for a while, his gaze swept over everyone in the audience.

"This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was filmed in the Manhattan neighborhood of New York, USA. Yang Yang slowly spoke, "Actually, what I want to say is that it is really very difficult for a Chinese director to shoot a movie in Hollywood. Especially if you don't have a relationship and don't have connections.."

"Let me give you an example.." Yang Yang said: "The crew of "This Killer is Not Too Cold" was temporarily pulled up by me in New York, and I entrusted an intermediary... When the middleman helped me find the crew, he checked the funds with me, and I found that the crew needed to be paid twice as much as I had estimated and known in advance."

"I asked the client what was going on? Do you know what he said to me?" Yang Yang looked at everyone calmly, and then said: "He said, they saw you in person and found out that the director was a Chinese and asked for double the salary. In other words, an assistant gaffer in the crew, usually other directors ask him for only $80 a day, but I have to pay him nearly $200, and he is not happy... Because in their minds, directors from China can't make good movies, and they will only bring shame on their careers."

The audience fell silent, and Yang Yang said hard word by word: "I, Yang Yang, for the first time in my life, have to pay extra money for this face... And under normal circumstances, I go shopping with this face to do things, and many people are happy to give me free of charge."

Yang Yang's words were a little humorous, but no one could laugh.

For the first time, they felt a sense of humiliation in their hearts, the development time of Chinese films was many years later than that of the West, and because of factors such as systems, concepts, and cultural differences, there have always been fewer good movies that can be recognized by the West.

In the whole of Hollywood, there are almost no Chinese figures active on the screen.

This has to be said to be an inexplicable sadness.

"At that time, I told myself that I must let the whole of Hollywood remember my name, Yang Yang.. I'm lucky to have taken the first step without a hitch.."

After Yang Yang said this, everyone stood up and applauded desperately.
