Facing the uninvited guest in front of him, York immediately stepped forward: "Hey, who are you?" How did it end up here? ”

Alice glanced at York, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"This is the movie club, I'm the minister here, York, little sister, you should be a middle school student, how did you get to UCLA?"

Since she was a minister, Alice of course had to talk a little more, shook hands with her and said, "Since you can represent everyone in the community, it will be easy to do." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI have a filming plan now, because the cost is not very high, so I don't plan to recruit too professional actors, are you interested in working with me? ”

This remark confused everyone, and York laughed and said, "You mean, you want to pay for us to make a movie!?" ”

It was an unprecedented joke, and David couldn't stop laughing. Just imagine, in the classroom of the UCLA film club, which is a well-known campus in the United States, a seventh-grade girl who appeared coldly asked everyone to make a film...... This situation is so unexpected!

Alice shrugged, she knew of course that it was a bit of a hassle to win the trust of the college dogs, but it wasn't a hassle at all compared to having DreamWorks recruit actors in a step-by-step manner.

"Well, my name is Alice Wong, and I live in Culver City, and my family recently co-owned a movie company with a neighbor called DreamWorks, and our registered address is just south of Sunset Boulevard. A company is a company, and I personally am very interested in making movies, and I also have some savings, and of course I can't afford a million-dollar production, but ...... So, would you be interested in working with me? ”

While speaking, Alice also kept scanning the people in the classroom, the scale of this film club is really good, and there are more than ten members present at present. You know, after all, making movies is a high-cost activity, even if there are DV cameras in later generations, not to mention the fact that they still rely on bulky videotape cameras. Therefore, being able to see so many people in one breath has proved that UCLA's film club is indeed very powerful.

"You're saying that if we co-produce a movie with you, there's a chance that it's actually going to be released!?"

York was suddenly excited, although he didn't know what the hell that dream factory was, but it was also a film company. What is the concept of a film company, it is an absolutely lofty existence that throws off the three streets of the university film club, at the very least, it can make the filmed movie be released in theaters, which is something that most film clubs can never do!

In this way, the two sides hit it off at the first time. For York and others, this is completely **** luck, although this girl can't fully represent the film company, but at least she is the boss's daughter, right? Even at the lowest level, it's a great opportunity to really get to know people in the Hollywood industry that idiots will let go.

And for Alice, asking these college dogs to help her make a film will save a lot of money. According to the rules of the trade, both directors and actors are divided from the box office, but if you hire these movie lovers, it is completely different.

Didn't you see the expressions of these guys who were so happy to go to heaven? In the eyes of the actors, it is the least thing for the finished movie to be released, and even the lowest level of the people will not be polite. But for them, the point is just to make a good movie, and as for the profits......

"I can only come up with a maximum of 20,000 yuan, so the box office results are really uncertain, and maybe the attendance rate on the day of the premiere will not even reach 30%. So in terms of remuneration, how about we calculate it directly with a fixed amount? ”

York pondered for a moment and said, "I need to discuss it with everyone. ”

While they were discussing, Alice wandered around the hallway, not afraid that York and the others would disagree. Sure enough, a moment later, when York invited her into the classroom again, the whole room was full of smiles.

"Alice, everyone agrees with your proposal."

York said: "20,000 yuan is not a small number, it is enough for us to buy a good quality professional camera, and it is not easy for you to come up with so much money." So, in terms of remuneration......"

Undoubtedly, Alice's age of only thirteen years old played a decisive role, and even if her father had the ability to co-create a company, it was not his own money. Everyone puts themselves in their shoes, if they are willing to spend so much money to make movies at this age, they are undoubtedly an audiophile-level movie lover.

Kind!

"First of all, you don't need to be paid, you just need to pay for the shooting. If it can really be released...... Haha, then pay 10,000 yuan for each of us! ”

10,000 dollars......

Seeing the satisfied look of the classroom full of people, Alice couldn't help but feel that she was a little too pitiful?

After all, if it works well, the box office of this movie is hundreds of millions......

However, this is really their own initiative, and it has nothing to do with themselves......

After all, for these people, the primary purpose of making a film is a hobby, and if a $20,000 movie can really get the box office...... 10,000 yuan is really a lot of money for them.

The confidentiality agreement was quickly printed and signed, and the twelve employees of the entire film club immediately became temporary employees of Alice, and the specific position can be discussed later. Making movies was originally out of a hobby, and now everyone has a high extra speed of 10,000 US dollars, and the possibility of an official release, this contract is really stress-free!

"So I'm going to tell you a little bit about the movie."

So, sitting on the best steel tube chair in the classroom, which was regarded as a guest, Alice explained with a smile: "What we want to shoot is a supernatural thriller movie, and the picture is directly from the most primitive camera lens, that is, we want a documentary style." ”

This sentence made everyone look at each other for a while, supernatural movies, it sounds so cool, but what does documentary style mean?

Sitting in the crowd, David spoke: "In other words, are we making a pseudo-documentary?" ”

Hearing this question, Alice's eyes lit up, and she had heard the conversation between this guy and his peers before she first entered the classroom, and it could be said that she was very impressed.

"That's right, it's a pseudo-documentary, it's really thanks to you for being so pointed."

Alice simply looked directly at David: "Essentially, this is of course a fictional story, but in terms of shooting techniques, we have to shape it into a selfie image. In other words, the protagonist carries a camera to film his life, and this life is the plot of the story...... Of course, we're going to make a joint edit. ”

Some of the college students suddenly realized and applauded, while others frowned and pondered, it was still David, who preempted York, and asked: "The camera is very cumbersome, if the actor and actress are to carry the camera to film themselves, is it too fake?" ”

Alice nodded, and couldn't help but appreciate this David even more. What he said is indeed reasonable, after all, even "Blair the Witch", which is the originator of pseudo-documentaries, was at least in 1999, and the DV camera had already been released. For today's 1984, the large and bulky camera is really not suitable for the so-called selfie, not to mention that it is still in the videotape stage.

"Regarding this, we can start with the plot itself to rationalize the protagonist's behavior of carrying the camera. If you can't even find this reason, what kind of movies do you make and what kind of film clubs do you organize? Isn't that right? ”

In this way, this problem was easily solved, but a new problem arose, that is, Alice did have to revise the original film script to rationalize the change of DV machine to camera. The most basic thing is that the actor must be reasonably powerful, otherwise in terms of the weight of the current camera, who will take a family selfie with it?

"York, I think you're a good fit."

As a result, Alice pointed directly at York: "More than six feet tall, weighing more than one hundred and sixty pounds, and having muscles all over his arms, are you sure you don't play football?" ”

There was a burst of cheerful laughter from the members, and York scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I was a member of rugby in high school, but when I went to college, I focused on the film club." By the way, Alice, is there a shortage of people in the company that your parents co-founded? I'm supposed to graduate in another year and want to give it a try. ”

Alice thought to herself, when did she say that her parents and Lawrence co-founded it? But that doesn't matter, she shrugged and said, "Of course I'm welcome, as long as you can really apply for the right position, of course we don't mind you joining." ”

"Alice, when are you going to start filming?"

At this time, David, who had been reading the contract carefully, spoke: "Also, if you can, can you let me try directing?" ”

York took a sip and frowned, "You directed?" David, even if you've been working in ILM for two years, you're still capable of special effects, right? Is it quite good to be a director? This is Alice's movie, if you mess up......"

"Industrial Light & Magic, you say?"

As soon as she heard the name, Alice felt even more impulsive, as early as when she eavesdropped outside the house, she thought that this young man had a lot of ideas, and now it seems that it is really remarkable.

"Your name is David, isn't it, your full name?"

David shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed face: "David Fincher, a native of Denver, don't look at me that I'm only in first grade, I'm twenty-two years old. ”

Listening to the other party's steady self-introduction, Alice blinked vigorously, feeling choked.
