The script of Ye Xingyuan's movie, although An Zhixiao and Shen Yanru haven't seen it, they generally know it.

The movie is mainly about a young man in a small town, and his father is a well-known tailor in the city, and his skills are excellent. He studied with his father since he was a child, and he was talented in this area, so his father had high hopes for him, hoping that he would inherit the family business and carry it forward. But the protagonist is not interested in this kind of "girly" work at all and runs away from home. He didn't return for many years, until his father died of illness, and he didn't hurry back after receiving a phone call. Then, for various reasons, he finally chose to obey his father's will and inherit the family's tailor shop.

To put it simply, the first half is the setting of a classic literary film, but the second half adds commercial elements. It seems that all aspects have been taken into account, but in fact, it is inevitable that it will please both ends, but neither end will be relied on.

At least Ann knows that he is not optimistic.

Regarding her statement, Ye Xingyuan could only touch his nose helplessly, and said, "Actually, I know this problem myself, if I just want to make money, of course I can just buy a book and shoot it." But I still have a dream of literature in my heart, and I am always reluctant to change my book. What you see now has been modified by me. Anyway, I don't plan to make a profit from it, so I think it's a dream for myself. ”

He said and laughed, "After all, it is the first step of transformation, even if the results are not good, it is understandable to think about it." After that, I probably won't be so willful. ”

An Zhi twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling even more unreliable.

She thought about it for a while, and she didn't remember seeing the news of this movie release in her previous life. Maybe something went wrong in the middle of filming, and the crew was disbanded directly in the end!

However, she thought of the unpleasant crew before, and she was not so sure. Since everything now will not go according to the previous life, then the previous experience is not enough to refer to. In the end, she could only admit that her vision was not very good, and handed over the decision to Shen Yanru.

"Since it's a dream come true, why do you want to add these things later?" Shen Yanru asked.

Ye Xingyuan smiled bitterly, "Although I have saved a little money over the years, you also know that it is impossible for me to invest alone. A friend introduced an investor before, and this part of the content is what he meant. ”

In fact, in the industry, a film often has several investors. It's certainly not that they can't afford to make a movie. This is done both for risk diversification and shared responsibility, as well as for resource and network considerations. After all, investors invest money, so they naturally care about whether the movie can make money, and they usually have eyes and hands, so it will be more convenient for them to submit for review, publicity, or schedule films in theaters.

No matter how good a movie is, it is in vain if it can't be sold, and if there is no box office, then there is nothing.

"To praise people?" Shen Yanru immediately asked.

The plot added in the later stage seems blunt, not to mention, the most important thing is that a heroine was added to this purely male protagonist play.

——When the male protagonist was working in a big city, he also came into contact with clothing-related work, and it was at that time that he met the female protagonist. So after she decided to go home to inherit the family business, the female protagonist chased to the small town, and finally with her unremitting efforts and help, the male protagonist decided to carry forward his tailor shop and make it an international brand that can walk the catwalk in the four major fashion weeks.

Of course, in this process, the emotional entanglements and various ambiguities of handsome men and beauties are also indispensable.

Hearing Shen Yanru ask, Ye Xingyuan himself seemed to feel that this plot was too, and his ears were half red, and he said uncomfortably, "Ahem...... Yes. ”

This situation is actually very normal, it is better for actors to bring money into the group than to not attract investment. Besides, the actress who the other party wants to praise also has a certain popularity, with good looks and good figure, which is not excessive, and Ye Xingyuan can't refuse. It's just that I was talking about my dream just now, but now it has come to life, and Rao is Ye Yingdi's acting skills have passed, and I also feel a little embarrassed.

He thought about it, and added here, "However, during the filming process, some content will definitely be modified, and the shooting may not be like this." ”

Shen Yanru thought for a while and said, "In business, if it's such a movie, I'm sorry, we may not be able to participate." ”

Hearing this, Ye Xingyuan looked quite calm and nodded.

Shen Yanru said again, "But as a friend, I will give you a piece of advice. If you are willing to cut off the back of the dog's tail and replace it with the original one, maybe you can't have too much expectation at the box office, but maybe there is still a little hope for winning the award. ”

After a pause, she added, "I think you also hope that your dreams can bloom without regrets, instead of having a nondescript dog tail?" ”

In fact, the advice she gave was really heartfelt. Ye Xingyuan is probably too persistent, so he always wants to be perfect and take care of all aspects, but taking care of all aspects also means that all aspects are mediocre. Rather than that, it's better to give it a go. If the purpose is really to win awards, then there is no need to worry about publicity, film scheduling and box office.

However, Shen Yanru is Shen Yanru, except for An Zhizhi, she will not influence anyone's choice. So in the end she said, "Of course, this is just my family statement, you can think about it for yourself." If you have confidence in yourself, then you can come back to me and talk to me. ”

"Seriously," Ye Xingyuan laughed, and crossed his fingers on his knees, "I believe your vision." He glanced at Ann, "And I don't really think I'm going to be able to achieve any dreams in a completely undesirable environment." It's just that the reality is helpless, and I can only compromise. But just hearing you say that, I suddenly had a new idea. ”

"What?"

"Is your studio interested in investing in films?"

Ay? An Zhi looked at Ye Xingyuan in surprise, this person's brain was really fast. However, if the studio invests in this movie, in fact, the problems that Ye Xingyuan is worried about can be solved by Shen Yanru.

"I know you have a lot of contacts in the industry, and if you are interested, you can negotiate a contract." Ye Xingyuan said. This is inferred from what Ann knew last time.

After all, there are many celebrities, and one thing is exposed, no matter who is right or wrong, celebrities are always at a disadvantage, after all, public figures cannot be without scruples. It is precisely because of this that many times he has to compromise, even if Ye Xingyuan himself is an actor. But Shen Yanru was able to lift the weight lightly, let the crew take the initiative to apologize, and there was no fireworks from beginning to end, and then calmed things down, which is not something that can be done with ability, and someone has to do it.

"It's rare to take advantage, how can you not agree?" Shen Yanru stretched out his hand to him, "Happy cooperation." ”

So Ann Knowing's new job was decided.

Because they are investors, they will be involved in this film from beginning to end. Of course, Ann is mainly responsible for the music part. The funds are in place, and the crew is all together, so soon after, the movie "Son Inherits Father's Business" was launched in a low-key manner.

An knew that he had watched an interview show, and Ye Xingyuan's friends in the circle broke the news that he didn't recognize his six relatives when he filmed, and he felt a little hard to believe it at the time, because Ye Xingyuan's character design, whether in terms of personality or appearance, should be the type of warm man. However, working with him during this time allowed An Zhizhi to get to know this person again.

His attitude towards work is estimated to be no longer serious and responsible, and it should basically be regarded as desperate. Because he is both a director and an actor, he is naturally much busier than others, and he is often seen running all over the field alone. Sometimes, for a shot, I can ponder for an entire afternoon, and even after pondering, I can overturn the previous part and start again.

This drama is just like Shen Yanru said, it is the kind that the award-winning guests are most favored.

In terms of content, it can reflect the changes of a generation. In the past, people were short of materials and self-sufficient, and their clothes were usually ripped off the fabric and made by themselves. But after all, no one is a skilled hand, so there will be a tailor's living space. Nowadays, ready-to-wear production is convenient and fast, and various brands flood the clothing market, and the tailor industry is doomed to decline, and where is their way out?

In terms of the emotional part, it is a condensation of a person's life. When he was a teenager, the actor actually liked to learn from his father, and watching a piece of clothing being skillfully made was like magic, and the sense of accomplishment was self-evident. But when I grew up, I was influenced by various thoughts, and I began to think that this kind of profession was "shameful", and "girls" gave birth to a rebellious heart, so they would run away from home. But when he entered the big city, he found that these things had become the key and trick to his own success, and finally chose to inherit his father's business after his father's death.

It is precisely because of this that there are a lot of inner dramas in this play, and this kind of thing depends on the understanding of the actors, and Ye Xingyuan doesn't even have a director to guide him, so he can only explore it by himself.

But it is precisely because of the meticulous craftsmanship that what comes out is the best product.

Fortunately, because there are few actors, there are not many places that need to be filmed, and later Ye Xingyuan accelerated the progress after entering the state, so the final shooting time is not too long.

Ye Xingyuan originally only planned to participate in the domestic Golden Film Awards, but when he heard Shen Yanru say that he would participate in the Golden Coconut Awards, he couldn't help but be startled. This is one of the three major international awards, and every year I don't know how many outstanding films from all over the world participate!

"I'm talking about the Directors' Fortnight, where they don't use popular criteria to select the shortlisted films, and stick to their own tastes. As long as it can be shortlisted, it is also a good guide for the domestic Golden Film Awards. Shen Yanru said, "Even if it is not useful for the popularity of the film, it is very important for the director." ”

The films participating in this unit are usually new directors. Many famous directors have won honors here.

Ye Xingyuan was so moved that he finally decided to participate. As a result, it was really said by Shen Yanru, and in the end this movie became one of the ten movies. Although he failed to win the award in the end, the news was issued, and the country was already optimistic.

And next, it's time for the Golden Film Awards.
