Tang Feng believes that the most important thing for the success of the original "Killer Tragedy" is the director's creativity.

But the setting of the plot is definitely a big flaw, the whole story is flat and straightforward, and it also seems abrupt and unreasonable in terms of emotional scenes, as for the action scenes, there are no highlights, he believes that after his own adaptation, it will be more exciting.

Although it is only a small-budget independent film, its importance to Tang Feng is self-evident, so Tang Feng attaches great importance to this film and really devotes himself to creation.

In fact, it does not mean that he borrowed the creativity and experience of his predecessors, and it is no longer an artistic creation, many film artists have invested a lot of energy and effort when adapting their previous works, and in their opinion, this is called secondary artistic creation.

And Tang Feng's biggest advantage is that the movies he wants to make only exist in his memory, and they have not really appeared in this world, so he can recreate according to his own ideas as he likes.

As far as the script is concerned, after his adaptation, the plot has become more ups and downs, full of rhythm, and the emotional scenes are more beautiful, delicate and provocative.

Of course, when he actually shoots, whether he can shoot the effect he wants or not really depends on his ability.

With Robin's funding, Tang can now start preparing for the film, and although Rodriguez only spent $7,000 to shoot it, Tang doesn't think that more than $30,000 will make the whole film.

He didn't shoot in Mexico, where the price is low, but in Hollywood, where the cost is much higher!

Even in this era, if you want to make a movie in Hollywood, the cost is very high.

Not to mention the salary of hiring the male and female protagonists, not to mention the rent of various venues and equipment, not to mention that after his adaptation, he added some big scenes and wonderful stunt scenes that can make people's blood rush, in fact, his money is not even enough to buy film!

BUT TANG FENG HAS HIS OWN INSISTENCE: "MY FILM MUST USE 35MM FILM WITH BETTER IMAGE QUALITY, SO THAT THE EFFECT SHOT IS THE EFFECT THAT A REAL MOVIE SHOULD HAVE!"

His decision is quite difficult for him now!

Shooting on film film, each shot is a real artistic creation, the shooting process is full of various unknown factors, and the effect of the shooting can only be left to unknown fate.

This requires a lot of time and manpower and material resources to go through many times of distance measurement, positioning and rehearsal before the actual shooting, and even then no one dares to guarantee that the shooting will definitely meet the requirements.

If 35mm film is used to shoot, the requirements for the director, actors, and cinematographers and lighting staff will be higher, because he has no more money to waste film.

This requires the director to have excellent scheduling skills, and the actors, lighting and cinematographers need to be experienced, otherwise it will be a huge waste.

He can only find those young unknown actors now, even if they are a little famous, they are not something that his funds can afford, but their performance in front of the camera is really worrying.

What's more, although Tang Feng has learned some fur, he is just an amateur, not the kind of experienced director, and he can't even talk about his profession.

God knows how much film will be wasted by an unpopular director, with a group of non-professional actors!

AS A FORMER FILM ENTHUSIAST, ALTHOUGH TANG FENG HAS USED 35MM FILM, IT IS ALL BECAUSE HE HAS ENOUGH FINANCIAL ABILITY AND IS MOSTLY SELF-ENTERTAINING SHOOTING WITHOUT PRESSURE.

He had never had such an experience before when he really made a movie, so he had a headache when he thought about the expensive price of 35MM film.

As for the post-production of the film, as well as publicity and distribution, although it costs more money, Tang Feng is not too worried. He knows the whole process of making a movie in Hollywood, and as long as his production is recognized, there will be studios willing to pay for it.

So, even if it seems difficult, he must persist in finishing this movie!

In fact, he also thought of some ways to open up sources and reduce costs, such as shooting a simple version first, or trying to find some possible ad placement, etc. Although he is not completely confident, he can basically cope with it, and now he has an additional investment of 20,000 US dollars, which has added a little confidence to him.

After staying in the hospital for a few more days, after the stitches were removed, Tang Feng said goodbye to Robin and left the hospital.

He had already received a check for $3,500, and although Robin had promised to lend him $30,000, he would never give him the money right now, but he had copied a script that he said it was meant to be keepsake, and it seemed that he really liked the story.

They have already made an agreement that when Tang Feng is ready for the filming of the film, he will send the check in the shortest possible time, as long as Tang Feng signs the contract. He didn't cash it out to Tang Feng immediately, it was just an adult's test and encouragement to the bear child, and Tang Feng fully understood this, and he didn't feel the slightest displeasure.

If it were Tang Feng himself, before he saw the initial results, he would not see the rabbit and not scatter the eagle.

After all, $30,000 is equivalent to a year's salary for an average worker. On the contrary, in his heart, he felt that he was lucky to meet someone like Robin, and although they didn't talk much in the past week, they also admired each other.

What Tang Feng didn't know was that not long after he left, Robin went to his old friend with the script he had just copied.

Although he doesn't know the exact number, Robin also knows a certain amount about the film industry, after all, he lives in the world's largest film and television industry base. He felt that Tang Feng didn't understand how much manpower, material and financial resources it took to make a movie, so he decided to help him once.

Robin is a man of integrity, he will neither be untrustworthy nor ask for anything on the grounds of borrowing, not even interest.

Now I am willing to help Tang Feng, in addition to because he likes the script, there are also some elements of gratitude, hoping that he can really make this movie.

After leaving the hospital, Tang Feng was also a little hesitant, because he didn't know where to go for a while, and couldn't help sighing: "Alas, the world is so big, but I don't know where to go......"

"He can't go back home, my ex was kicked out, even if I want to go back, it's definitely not now!"

"Rent a house? Forget it, this is the hard-earned money of being a guinea pig, and pointing to them to turn over, I can still save it." ”

"Then find a bank first, deposit the money into my account, buy a change of clothes, and then go to Charlie, he should be able to help me. ”

The previous Tang Feng didn't have many friends in school, because he was Chinese, and he was not popular in a predominantly white school, coupled with the provocation and isolation of his nominal brother Robert, so not many people were willing to be friends with him, and he was a good friend of Charlie in his memory.

The two families are very close, and Charlie's father William Owen and his adoptive father Allen have also been friends for many years, and they did not have any prejudice because of Tang's Chinese identity, but encouraged Charlie to be friends with him.

And if he could stay at Charlie's house temporarily, he would see Angela more often, and he would be able to rest assured, at least he would be able to protect Robert while she was being bullied by that bad boy from Robert.

In the memories of fusion, Charlie is a shy but righteous boy, and like Tang Feng, he also has a movie dream, in fact, under the influence of the Hollywood environment, many children in Los Angeles have such dreams.

It is precisely because they have the same dream that after a few years of getting along, they have long become iron buddies who talk about everything.

They have long planned to be admitted to USC's film school together, and then one will be a director and the other will be a producer, and after graduation, they will work hard in Hollywood together to realize their film dreams together.

Angela is the daughter of his adoptive father Alan and his ex-wife, 4 years younger than Tang Feng, she is a beautiful and cute little Lori, and she is also the heart of her predecessor Tang Feng.

It was she who pestered Alan to want a brother, so Alan went to the orphanage to adopt the former Tang Feng. So many times, he would rather be wronged himself, but he would also protect Angela, and he was reluctant to let her suffer even the slightest grievance.

Robert is the vicious woman, that is, the child he had with Angela's titular adoptive mother Julia and her ex-husband, who is also eighteen years old this year and two months younger than Tang Feng, but he was born a bad boy, and he has bullied their brother and sister a lot over the years.

While thinking about his thoughts, Tang Feng wandered aimlessly through the streets, and did not come to Charlie's house until the evening. As soon as he rang the doorbell, a porcelain doll-like girl rushed out of the house, crying and pounced on him: "Brother Sean, I finally found you, where have you been for so many days? ”

"Ann, Angela!"

Angela hugged Tang Feng tightly, as if she was afraid that she would never see him again as soon as she let go, and sobbed and said, "Brother, please don't leave me again." Daddy is gone, and you're my only relative. ”

Feeling Angela's care and attachment to him, Tang Feng's heart suddenly felt warm, and he hurriedly put down his backpack and comforted him softly: "Angela, my brother is fine." ”

"Don't worry, my brother will never leave you again. ”

At this moment, Tang Feng really regarded Angela as his relative, although her sudden appearance made him a little overwhelmed, but it made him feel very happy.

At this time, Charlie and his parents also walked out, Charlie naturally picked up Tang Feng's backpack, and then smiled and bumped fists with him, "Hey, Tang, where have you been hiding these days? ”

Tang Feng was in a good mood now, and when he saw Charlie's hippie smiling face, he scolded with a smile: "Come on, you are an afterthought, it took so many days to think of calling the police?"

Charlie was mistaken, thinking that Tang Feng was blaming him, and quickly explained: "We only found out about this matter, we only came back from a vacation in Toronto yesterday." ”

"And that old witch of yours grounded Angela, and she jumped out of the window while there was no one in the house. ”

Hearing Charlie's words, Tang Feng's brows immediately rose, and he scolded hatefully: "Damn! How can they do this to Angela?"

Angela choked up and said, "Brother, you don't know how worried I am about you these days! ”

Tang Feng patted her lightly on the back and said, "Angela, give my brother a little time, I swear that I will raise a sum of money as soon as possible, and then I will find a lawyer to bring you back, as well as our home!"

Angela suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and said sweetly: "Brother, hurry up, I don't want to live with them for a day, they are all big villains." ”

Tang Feng patted her head and promised, "Don't worry, I won't let you wait too long!"

Charlie's parents kept smiling at them, and it was only then that William said, "Don, it looks like you're doing well." Come on in, and let Aunt Mary cook you a good meal, and tell us how you've been doing these days. ”

Mary smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'm going to make your favorite salmon pizza to celebrate your safe return." ”

After saying that, she smiled and took Tang Feng's hand, "Let's go, child, come home with me." ”
