The bald director beckoned, and several staff members flatteringly brought chairs.

"Mr. Yang, please be seated." The bald director was very polite, and at the same time took out a box of superb treasure roads, tore them open and handed them to Yang Yi.

Yang sat down after a little cigarette, spit out a puff of smoke and said: "This director has a strange appearance and an outstanding temperament, I don't know the name of Gao?" ”

"Mr. Yang is polite, it's a bit of a coincidence, the contemptible person is also surnamed Yang, called Yang Youcai, this time I can invite Mr. Yang to be a martial arts instructor, it is really the luck of our crew, but I don't know if Mr. Yang still has extra time, because just now, I plan to reshoot the previous fights." The bald director Yang Youcai beckoned again, and the staff immediately served fragrant tea with great interest, and the movements were extremely skillful.

He was skeptical of Yang Yishang before, but he reluctantly let him try it because of Xia Ziyu's face. However, after Yang Yi's guidance, the visual effects rose several levels. However, in just a few minutes of fighting, after cutting out the superfluous fancy moves, the effect is surprisingly good, and the straightforward and simple brutal movements more fully reflect the ruthlessness of a spy who has been trained for many years.

This movie was originally a low-budget action movie, the plot is old-fashioned and cheesy, the only thing that can attract people's attention are two slightly famous actors, who were always a little dissatisfied before, but they couldn't say what was wrong, and now Yang Yi's appearance has caused the quality of the film to skyrocket, and Yang Youcai will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

"Well said." Yang Yi took a sip of the fragrant tea and said with a smile: "I have already told the two actors of your crew just now, when fighting, the movements must be simple and direct, regard the other party as a life and death enemy, and remember the characteristics of a spy agent." ”

Yang Youcai nodded and said: "Such an easy-to-understand truth, but many people don't understand. If Mr. Yang doesn't mind, I would like to officially hire you as the action martial arts instructor for our crew and complete this great work with me. Of course, we can negotiate your remuneration. ”

"How great can a film with a production budget of more than 10 million dollars be?" Yang Yi was quite unimpressed by this, focusing on the other party's last sentence, and nodded at the moment: "Since Director Yang can see me, then I will no longer refuse, but I have been a little short of money recently, Director Yang, do you think you will pay me part of the fee first?" ”

"Of course!" Yang Youcai immediately took out a check, wrote a set of numbers proudly and handed it to Yang Yi: "Pay you half of the remuneration first, and then pay the remaining half when the movie is finished, what do you think?" ”

Yang Yi pretended not to care and stuffed the check into his pocket, but in fact his eyes had already looked at the number on it, and there were five zeros behind it.

"The money in the entertainment industry is really easy to earn, but I earned 100,000 yuan in a few words, and I only added a bonus of less than 4,000 yuan a month, and it took more than two years to get 100,000 yuan without eating or drinking. No wonder so many people sharpen their heads and want to drill into it, and some girls even do not hesitate to sacrifice their bodies in order to enter this circle full of gold. Yang Yi sighed in his heart, and at the same time he was even more determined to vigorously rectify the atmosphere in the entertainment industry.

"No problem, if everyone is well rested, we can start right now!" With short hands, since Yang Yi has received the money, of course he has to do something, got up and said, "Where is the place for the first retake?" ”

"Right here, there are makeshift tools." Yang Youcai instructed the staff to start the arrangement immediately, and said with a smile: "In the script, they met here, and they will eventually understand their fate here." Does Mr. Yang think the audience will accept it? ”

There are still 100,000 dragon coins in the pocket of the other party, so naturally he can't say that the script is old-fashioned and vulgar, so he nodded pretending and said: "There are countless similar movies in the Dragon Kingdom and even around the world, and the audience has already had visual fatigue.

As he spoke, a middle-aged man with glasses walked over and snorted when he heard the words: "Then according to your meaning, the script should be changed once?" ”

"Who is this?" Yang Yi didn't like to be interrupted by others when he was talking, so he asked lightly after looking each other up and down.

"My name is Wei Zisong, and I am the screenwriter of this play." Wei Zisong was obviously very dissatisfied with Yang Yi's previous comments: "Mr. Yang's action direction is indeed novel and creative, but it doesn't seem to be qualified to comment on my script. Isn't your statement premature and presumptuous? ”

Yang Youcai glared at Wei Zisong, meaning to let him go away and not look for trouble. No matter how Yang Yi commented on the script, aside from professional knowledge, he also has the identity of Xia Ziyu's friend, offending Xia Ziyu is offending Xingwei, so he doesn't have to mix up with this small studio.

Wei Zisong didn't care about Yang Youcai's hint at all, and snorted coldly: "Since Mr. Yang thinks that the script is not good and needs to be changed, why don't you revise the script?" By the way, a little bit about your own thoughts? ”

Yang Yi threw away his cigarette butt and said: "This action movie will face hundreds of millions of ordinary viewers in the Dragon Kingdom, and do you know what these audiences like?" You feel like you've written a good story, but have you ever wondered how many such action movies there are around the world, from time to time? Why did your script become popular? To put it mildly, my previous estimate was very polite! ”

Wei Zisong obviously rarely came into contact with a person like Yang Yi who spoke without scruples, his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You go on!" ”

Yang Yi didn't bother to look at him at all, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, with his hands behind his back, looking like a hermit, and said lightly: "The selling point of an action movie is that the action is not fake, but there should not be excessive fight scenes, because this will make the audience ignore the plot of the whole play, and what they remember is only a few minutes of wonderful action scenes that they forget." No matter what kind of movie, in order to achieve a real double harvest at the box office and word of mouth, one point must be achieved, that is, connotation. ”

Yang Youcai nodded frequently when he heard this, and Wei Zisong also seemed to calm down.

Yang Yi said: "Throughout history, all successful movies, whether it is a literary film with profound significance and has won numerous awards, or a commercial blockbuster for the purpose of making money, or even some popcorn movies for all ages, we can never leave the two words of connotation. From shallow to deep, from shallow to deep, successful literary and commercial films have fully recognized and made use of this. Take the movie in front of you, for example! What do you think the audience can remember after watching it, other than saying that a few fight scenes are not bad? ”

Wei Zisong opened his mouth and was speechless.

"I'm sure you're well aware that it's not this kind of movie that audiences want to see. Successful movies don't have much to do with how much they invest, connotation is the most important, literary films may tell a story of joy and sorrow and love and hate to all moviegoers, seemingly ordinary but full of thought-provoking meaning, and commercial films can't deviate from the theme because they have hot scenes and wonderful fights, and it always needs a complete and bloody story. ”

"According to Mr. Yang's opinion, there are parts of this script that need to be revised." After Yang Yi finished speaking, the disdain in Wei Zisong's eyes and the annoyance on his face had turned into admiration and respect, and he handed the script to Yang Yi with both hands, like a student handing over homework to a teacher.

After Yang Yi took the script, he ordered Zhi Tianxiu, and read it quite seriously, on the way, Yang Youcai and Wei Zisong didn't dare to breathe, and the rank of guest and host had been reversed.

"Actually, the whole story is still good, and there is no vase-like heroine in the script, which is a selling point in itself." Yang Yi returned the script to Wei Zisong, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "There are not many places that need to be modified, in my opinion, let's start and end!" ”

"The beginning and the end?" Wei Zisong and Yang Youcai didn't quite understand what Yang Yi meant.

Yang Yi said patiently: "It's understandable to start arranging two encounters with fate, but why write that they fought immediately after they met?" If you think about it from another position, they don't know each other's true identities, and they have good skills, why can't they work together here to save people? For example, thieves, robbers, criminal gangs, and even flash floods can not only arouse the curiosity of the audience, but also break the conventional routine of old-fashioned and vulgar routines. ”

Wei Zisong's eyes lit up, and he patted his legs and said, "I understand what you mean!" ”

"You can teach." Yang Yi patted Wei Zisong on the shoulder again with a sense of relief, and continued: "In the end, it is written that the two of them died together, which is also very inappropriate. You must know that although the current audience has accepted the end of the tragedy, in fact, there is still more desire for fulfillment in their hearts. The ending can be changed to two people who don't have to die, because although they know that the other party is a hostile person, but in the end, they find out that the other party is their long-lost brother, and then they can't bear to do it, which can even implant an illusion that they will die together, and make a little mention at the end of the film, so that the audience can guess their life and death for themselves. ”

"That's right!" This time, it was Yang Youcai's turn to pat his legs: "Why does it have to be a tragedy?" In this way, the connotation and artistic conception have risen by more than one level, and maybe the audience will privately study whether the two protagonists are dead or not, what clues there are, and what doubts are there after watching it! It's so perfect! ”

"I'll start revising it right away!" Wei Zisong left excitedly, from the anger at the beginning to the ecstasy at the end, the taste of which outsiders could not understand at all.

"Bang Bang!" Crisp applause rang out, and Xia Ziyu stood a few meters away and looked at Yang Yi with a smile: "Mr. Yang is not only skilled, but also has the talent of both screenwriter and director, I seem to have seen the future of Director Yang Da shining." ”

Yang Youcai politely greeted Xia Ziyu, left under the pretext of something, and left the space for the two of them.

"When did you come?" Yang Yi noticed that Sister Mei, who had been following Xia Ziyu for a long time, did not appear, and thought that Xia Ziyu must have sneaked out again.

"Just came. I just happened to hear all of what you were saying. Xia Ziyu smiled: "Seriously, Mr. Yang, you really surprised me. I used to think that you were just an old-fashioned and dedicated security guard, but then I saw your outstanding skills, and now I have appreciated your talent in screenwriting and directing, which is really unexpected! Which one is the real you! ”

Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said: "I can't finish talking about the advantages of this person in half an hour, but what I want to say most now is that Miss Xia must not be curious about me, because that is the first sign of a woman who is deeply in love." ”
