Chapter 284: It's done
"Ghost Love" has set off a trend in the United States, and compared with "Top Gun", which is comparable at the box office, the former has obviously received better reviews. A poignant and romantic love story that can be accepted by audiences of all ages. But because the handsome Tom Cruise and the beautiful and charming Zhong Chuhong are too dazzling, they have countless fans for a while, most of them are boys and girls.
These young boys and girls rushed to the cinema in order to chase stars and increase conversation at parties.
In front of a movie theater in Los Angeles, although it was already past ten o'clock, there were still many spectators, waiting outside the door of the movie theater, waiting to line up to watch the movie.
The white female reporter, who thought she was elegant and charming, stood in front of the camera, holding a microphone and facing the camera: "This is a movie theater near Los Angeles, although it is almost midnight, but it is like a Christmas party, very lively." Then, the camera slowly rotates to capture the surrounding scene.
In the ticket hall and at the entrance of the movie theater, groups of young people gather here, playing with each other, chatting, reading, dancing on the street, and even skateboarding.
"What the hell are these young people doing? Let's take a look. ”
The white female reporter held the microphone and walked up to a boy who was reading a book, showing a sexy and charming smile: "Hi, I'm a reporter from ABC, excuse me, why are you partying here?" ”
The boy was just a high school student, presumably a little shy in the face of the sexy and charming smile of the female reporter. The smile was a little green: "No, no, we're not partying, we're just waiting in line to watch a movie." ”
The female reporter seems to have a crush on this shy big boy. Blink and continue to ask him, "What is the movie that makes you still line up here so late?" And I think most of them are young people, so I'm curious. ”
The boy's face turned a little red, but he still said, "Let's wait to watch "The Love of People and Ghosts." ”
""The Love of People and Ghosts"? I've also heard the name of this movie, so it should be good, right? ”
At this moment, two girls dressed in fancy clothes leaned their heads over from the side. shouted excitedly: "It should be very good, our friends have seen it, and they can't do without this movie every day when they chat." If we didn't look. There are no topics to talk about. ”
The boy was visibly more embarrassed.
The camera turned to the female reporter, and she said to the camera: "Now, this "Ghost Love" has caused a lot of repercussions among young people. It's even changing some young people's views on love. Unswerving to death. regarded as the highest state of love, and it is also the goal they strive for. They promise that if they don't love, love will fall apart, and life and death will not swerving. Perhaps, this is the theme that this movie wants to tell us, right? ”
A "Human Ghost Love" makes people start to think deeply about the true meaning of love, I have to say. This was a completely unexpected by-product of Yang Lin. But because of this, the movie was a hit. It is regarded as the "positive energy" that regulates the impetuousness of society.
ABC TV even produced a social concern topic program with the theme of "Our Love", which was broadcast in prime time. and interviewed the director of "People and Ghosts", the new Hollywood "billion" director Yang Lin.
ABC is the abbreviation of ABC, one of the three major commercial radio and television companies in the United States.
ABC has two headquarters, and the entertainment department is located in Burbank, near Los Angeles, which is close to the entertainment center of Hollywood. The other is headquartered in Times Square, New York, a media hub.
Burbank is closer to Hollywood, so Yang Lin received an invitation from ABC and came to Burbank to record the show.
In the face of Yang Lin, the powerful director of "Billions", ABC also sent a strong figure from the company to receive him. has a good relationship with these celebrities in the entertainment industry, but it is a compulsory homework for TV stations and other media, and negligence will never occur easily, causing dissatisfaction among these people.
The reception of Yang Lin was Johnson, the vice president of the ABC program production center, who is nearly fifty years old, which shows that ABC attaches great importance to Yang Lin, a "Hollywood upstart".
For ABC TV, Yang Lin had a deep impression, of course, a negative impression.
Shortly before Yang Lin's rebirth, a late-night talk show on ABC TV broadcast a statement about "killing all Chinese" that shocked the United States.
Chinese in 16 cities in the United States agreed to hold demonstrations to protest the ABC TV broadcast of "kill all Chinese" rhetoric. In addition, 100,000 people have already signed a petition on the White House website requesting an investigation into the incident. If the number of signatures reaches 100,000, the White House will have to respond. Protest organizers expect the total number of participants to exceed 10,000, making it likely to be the largest Chinese protest in more than 200 years since the founding of the United States.
In the face of this sudden uproar, ABC executives immediately expressed their attitude: against the station's broadcast with insults. Hua issued a public apology statement, pledging to strengthen censorship and put an end to similar incidents. In a statement, the ABC acknowledged the mistake and promised to permanently remove the content and permanently cancel the "Children's Roundtable" program.
Yang Lin did not think that this incident was instructed by the top management of ABC, and it should be just an accident.
While waiting for the recording of the show, Johnson said with a smile on his face: "I know that you, Mr. Yang, used to be the best TV drama producer in Hong Kong. I just don't know, do you have any ideas to return to the filming of the TV series? ”
At this time, ABC had just been acquired by Metropolitan Communications for $3.5 billion, and the company was changed to Metropolitan ABC, but it generally still used its original name. As for Disney's sky-high $15 billion acquisition of ABC, that was ten years later.
ABC's news attention and response speed are its biggest shortcomings, but the production of TV dramas has always been strong.
Yang Lin thought for a while and said politely: "Not yet, I may return to Hong Kong in the near future and participate in a business operation." But Mr. Johnson, since you're the Associate Director of Production at ABC, I think we're going to have the opportunity to work together in the future. I was born in TV, and I have a deep affection for TV. ”
Johnson, of course, was overjoyed.
Before recording this show, Johnson had an in-depth understanding of Yang Lin's resume. As a result, he found that the greatest ability of this young man who became famous in Hollywood may not be his directing ability, but his screenwriting ability. To this end, he even asked someone to find a set of "Rogue Tycoon" videotapes, which are circulated in the Southeast Asian market with English subtitles.
As a result, the more you watch it, the better it looks, which makes this guy, who has seen countless excellent TV series, fall into it.
If this Yang Lin can really write a script for a TV series on ABC, Johnson thinks it shouldn't be too bad.
The show recorded by Yang Lin is of a conversational nature, Yang Lin and a beautiful host sit opposite each other, there is coffee on the table, and the atmosphere is very harmonious and relaxed.
"God assure, it's really hard for me to associate you with a movie director who makes a lot of money at the box office. Oh my God, Hollywood myth Stephen Paul, to you too! ”
The hostess blinked her mascara-covered eyelashes, her mouth was large, and her face was exaggerated.
Stephen Paul holds the record for the youngest director in Hollywood, having been 20 years old when he directed "Love Again" in 1980. Of course, "Love Again" and "Ghost Love" are not comparable at all, regardless of box office, word-of-mouth, or even filming techniques.
Yang Lin smiled slightly, showing modesty: "Stephen Paul is a senior, and it is me who should be saluted." Not only me, but all of us have stood on the shoulders of our predecessors to achieve success one by one. Without the creation and development of our predecessors, we would probably all have a headache for some unfamiliar technologies. In the industry of directing, there is no genius. We are just passing on from generation to generation, and while passing on, I am also creating and pioneering. In the near future, I will also become a senior. At that time, I will be happy to accept my salute. ”
Johnson, who was sitting behind the scenes, pouted, this guy is really sleek, this is true, not leaky.
The hostess was probably choked by Yang Lin's "standard answer", and quickly smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"Mr. Yang Lin, you are a Hong Kong native, and Hong Kong movies are known as the Hollywood of the East. What do you think is the difference between Hong Kong and Hollywood in terms of the superficial form of romance movies? ”
This question is a bit deep, but Yang Lin has already seen many questions in the show beforehand, and he already has a draft, so it is not difficult to answer, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.
"There is a great deal of surprise between the East and the West, both in terms of lifestyle and way of thinking, and this is due to different cultural backgrounds. But love is the same thing all over the world, to put it bluntly, it is a psychological feeling. It doesn't matter if the skin is black or white, no matter what the language, it's all the same. As long as you can capture the essence of love, then anyone can shoot a beautiful and touching romance film. The essence of love is actually very simple, dedication, just two words. ”
Love doesn't need to be reciprocated, it just needs to be giving. If you want to ask for it, then it is not real love.
It's a simple truth, but few people understand it, and even fewer are able to do it.
Therefore, true love is precious.
Just as Yang Lin walked out of the studio, Kidd whispered to him a piece of news: ATV's acquisition has reached an agreement.
Yang Lin's heart jumped, and then he laughed happily.
Shao Yifu, are you and your TVB ready to meet the challenge?
I will let you know what is called "the power of knowledge" and what is called "unequal battle".
Dude has a "cheat" too! (To be continued......)
