Spielberg and Cruise didn't say anything about Liu Anran's bet, after all, this is Liu Anran's personal matter, and Liu Anran also brought out racial discrimination. www.biquge.info It's just that they don't know how big Liu Anran will play, otherwise this meal is probably not enough.

However, after hearing that Liu Anran wanted to study at USC, Spielberg showed interest and hoped that Liu Anran could become his primary school brother. I will help him get in touch with the school as a special auditor.

This is the only gain after Liu Anran invited the two to dinner, except for a stack of signatures, which made Liu Anran very satisfied. It doesn't matter if you are an auditor or not, as long as you have time, you will go over and study systematically.

I slept well in the hotel, which means that it is not particularly far from USC, otherwise Fang Yufu would have missed the interview with the admissions officer.

hurried to USC, and what surprised Liu Anran was that not only the deputy director of the admissions office was waiting for Fang Yufu here, but also Elizabeth, the dean of the USC School of Film and Television? Daley is here waiting for himself.

"Andy, Spielberg called me last night and he said I'd regret it if I missed you." Elizabeth said with a smile.

"Madam Dean, it's my preparation that is too inadequate, and it has also added trouble to you." Liu Anran said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"Andy, you're welcome, you can just call me Elizabeth, I actually like to talk to young filmmakers, and you're the best of them." Elizabeth said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I only have one film in theaters so far, and I still have a long way to go." Liu Anran replied a little modestly and confidently.

This is not the time to play modest, don't look at it just chatting, this is also an interview. This time it was a blessing for Tospilberg, who opened a small back door, but if this old lady is not satisfied, you don't have a problem if people don't want you.

"Andy, in fact, I'm also very curious about you, how did you come up with the idea of filming that "Ghost Record"? A lot of people are studying that movie as a subject. Elizabeth asked with a smile.

"I also know that people in the outside world are very curious about why I made that style of film at that time, but the reason is very simple, I don't have the money." Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.

Elizabeth, who had been smiling, was a little surprised when she heard Liu Anran's words.

"I had just come to the U.S. at the time, and I wasn't very wealthy, so I had to try my luck with this kind of shooting." Liu Anran continued.

"It's just that because of the success of this movie, people over-interpret it, so that no one will believe me when I tell the truth. The dialogue of the film was all designed on location during the shooting, so you can imagine how rushed our shooting was. ”

"That's true. So you are also a relatively successful director in Hollywood, even if you only have one film, how do you see the development in Hollywood? Elizabeth nodded and asked.

"This question is a bit broad, so I'll just briefly talk about my personal feelings after coming to the United States." Liu Anran said after thinking for a while.

"Hollywood has a mature film industry, a mature system. But as a Chinese director, if I want to succeed, I can't blindly imitate Hollywood film production. ”

"Because I haven't lived in the United States, it's hard to understand what the audience really thinks, let alone cater to the audience's tastes. So I think that for a film to be successful, you first have to know what the audience needs and understand the environment in which they live. ”

"Imitation can only be imitation, but you can't innovate. When the audience watches the film, they often have a sense of déjà vu. At that point, all you can attract the audience is the actors and the special effects of the film, which in my opinion is not a successful film, even if it is a high box office. ”

Elizabeth nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "So what kind of story do you think makes a good story?" I've noticed a little bit about you, you seem to be very focused on building a series of movies because they're going to bring you good box office money? ”

"There's no denying that as a company owner, I really want to see every single one of my films be box office hits and bring me a lot of money." Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.

"But when I was shooting, I paid more attention to the script, which means what kind of story this film wants to tell you."

"In fact, there are so many story templates in this world, either the change of old and new rights, or the lost child, the misplaced life, etc., only because the background of the story is different, these stories will be given different colors."

"I think the best story is about being able to 'create a world'. is also born from the same story prototype, some films are forgotten after watching them, and some have become classics and remain in people's memories. It is even possible to replace many story archetypes as new story templates. ”

"Like Star Wars, George? Lucas has created a world for everyone, and anyone who knows something about movies, even a child, knows this story. ”

"All stories are good stories, it just depends on whether the storyteller can tell the story more vividly. As a director, we are telling the story through the lens. The series of movies is about creating worlds, but some worlds are broken after they are created, and some of them become classics, and I'm working on the latter. ”

Liu Anran's answer made Elizabeth feel bright. Although Liu Anran is very young, she feels that she understands the potential connotation of the film very well.

And she also heard Liu Anran's ambitions, he said that making movies is to create a world, and even moved "Star Wars" out, which shows that his goal is also to create a world.

Maybe the world he wants to create is not as grand as "Star Wars", but for every filmmaker to create a world of his own, it is the success of his career. Liu Anran is not satisfied with one, but wants to create many.

"Andy, your idea is very good, welcome you to join our academy, I hope you can create more and better world for you." Elizabeth? Daly stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Thank you, Dean. I will definitely live up to your expectations, and my life at USC will be an unforgettable memory. Liu Anran shook Elizabeth's hand and said. (To be continued.) )
