Chapter Forty-Eight: Little Devils
"La Dolce Vita. Ye Wei made another ruthless move, the strategy was very simple, first finish the familiar classics.
"Spring and Autumn of Performing Arts". "Don't think about it, this is Fellini's directorial debut.
Ye Wei immediately continued: ""Swinger". "Fellini's international fame.
Under Anna's nervous gaze and everyone's happy smiles, one movie after another was spoken, and when eight rounds passed, the expressions of the college students changed a little, and Anna's fighting spirit was high, and her face was about to rise to the sky!
None of Darum and the others thought that Ye Wei could last so long, and every time he thought about it, he said it without thinking about it, and Darum gradually became a little embarrassed, and a layer of cold sweat quietly formed on his back, and finally when he arrived at the eighteenth part, he couldn't say it......
That kid's unchanging smile actually put a lot of pressure on him at this time, and he was the one who wanted to lose face!?Darum couldn't help but look at his companions......
"You're not, aren't you?", "Please!" There was a helpless and anxious cry from everyone around, and the opponent was just a middle school student!
Seeing this, Darum scolded in his heart, you are amazing, then you say! What kind of damn movie did Fellini make!
Pete and the others weren't going to make a move, so they let the two of them go one-on-one, but now it's difficult to help, and they can't remember. Suddenly hearing Ye Wei counting down from ten, everyone was even more anxious, maybe it was the power of love, Parella thought of it, and said hurriedly: "I remember!"
"Cool, do you really remember, then, "Women's City", this one is great. Ye Wei responded quickly, making them feel desperate.
Next will be the twentieth part, everyone can't laugh for a long time, they all frowned and thought, Darum took off his baseball cap and scratched his head, after all, Fellini is Italian, and for them, they are naturally not as familiar as the masters such as the four major directors of Hollywood in the 8o......
And there are twenty of them! Fellini has made about 20 films, right?
"Is it over?" Darum exhaled, looking at this Asian teenager now, the sense of weirdness turned into a sense of horror, what is T-8oo?
"Do you think it's over?" Ye Wei glanced at everyone, not to mention that he was prepared last night, even if he was not prepared, he could win this game, the opponent was too weak.
At the end of the dozens of voices, everyone was dead silent, Anna held her breath and made a prelude to cheering, Ye Wei glared: "So in the first game, I won." Brothers, how can you forget "Urban Love"! For God's sake, there are so many masters, how can you forget "Urban Love"!"
"Oh shoooT!" Hearing the title, everyone went crazy, jumping their feet, holding their heads, and shaking their hands, "Urban Love"!
"Haha! We won, we won!" Anna cheered, and although she didn't understand, she knew, "We've won!
"Sorry to disgrace you in front of your girlfriend. Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders and sent this sentence back to Darus as it was, only one Litt1e was missing.
Urban Love (1953) is a collection of short films by directors including Fellini, Antonioni, Chavatini and others, many of whom are later revered as masters. It's not necessarily that college students haven't seen it, but this time they fell into the trap of thinking, constantly thinking about Fellini's feature film, but just forgetting the collection he participated in.
I did lose the first game...... Darlum's five faces are ugly, because it is a best-of-three game, and if he loses one more game, he doesn't know how to end it.
If this kid is a student of the academy, he must be a person from the review department, he writes film reviews every day, and then he can't get along with them......!
Shame, shame! The other onlookers, although they did not participate in the war, felt ashamed for these classmates, and if this was known to the people at ucLa, maybe it would be adapted into a comedy short, right?
There were a lot of thoughts churning in everyone's hearts, very aggrieved and annoying, no one dared to hold it up now, and Darum said in a deep voice: "The filmmaker in the second game, I choose Spielberg." ”
"Spielberg, dude, do you want to talk about tomorrow?"
Ye Wei suddenly laughed, his mind raced, a living American film master like Spielberg, who is not familiar with it here, the other party is overwhelming, and he will have no advantage, unless...... He said: "OK, Spielberg, OK, I choose to be better, actor career, haha!"
Actors!? Everyone was stunned, what kind of joke, Spielberg directed, producer, can name a bunch of random things, acting? That old guy is not an actor!
"Man, this ......" Darum struggled.
"Why? Am I not also talking about his acting work?"
"They're really scared......" Anna whispered to Ye Wei again, and her mood was very excited, but it was far more powerful than she thought before!
Looked at by everyone, Darum was a little unable to pull down, and suddenly let out: "Actors are actors! I'll come first, "Ace Big Cheap Spy 3"!"
This is last year's film, a classic spoof commercial film, with a large number of cameos from celebrities, Spielberg made a cameo of himself, which is impressive.
"Good. Ye Wei was not in a hurry, he had already thought of several films, and responded: "How about "Blues Brothers"? Does anyone have any impressions? The government office clerk, 'Is there anything I can do to help you?'"
Damn it, everyone looked at each other, some of them knew, some of them didn't, and they all knew after ventilation that this wasn't bullshit...... Even the lines were spoken......
"Excellent!" Anna raised her little fist.
"I really like 'The Blues Brothers,' and 'The Blues Brothers 2ooo.' Ye Wei thought of something funny and laughed: "No one thinks it's a 2ooo film, right?"
If it was just a shame before, now it is simply humiliated, Darum's face is green, Pete and Parela are also very embarrassed, the other party is a middle school student!
It was their turn again, and the five of them exchanged opinions, almost asking the onlookers, and finally came up with a more certain one: "Jurassic Park 2". ”
"Typical Hollywood, where the sequel is safe, but the audience is a little annoyed. Ye Wei quipped, that was correct, so he continued: ""The Last Shot", a 9-minute short film he wrote, directed and acted in when he was 11 years old, is younger than me now, I can only say that I admire." ”
Oh my God, why didn't you say this first! Everyone almost fainted, and Darum panicked because they really couldn't think of anything, and they had already lost a game!
"I remember that there was a movie in Raiders of the Lost Ark that had him in a cameo. Parreira pondered, which of the three "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is it?
Hurley King asked, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?" Pete hurriedly said, "I don't have an impression, what about you?" Darum frowned so much that his eyes were about to fall off, and finally thought of a faint memory, shook his head, and said, "No, it's Indiana Jones and the Temple!"
"Wow, you're pretty tenacious. Ye Wei praised it, and he had to think about it this time, just when the college students were secretly happy to think that he was at the end, he suddenly said: "I thought of it, "Jaws", he has a dubbing in it, it's up to you." ”
Weak! Everyone is powerless, just now it was their limit, now I can't think of it, you look at me, I look at you, all dumb......
"Is it all said and done?" someone asked, the only hope they had left.
"And there are. ”
However, this ruthless sentence made their hearts fall to the bottom, "Are you kidding?", "How can there be?", "Why is Spielberg so unprofessional!"
"What?" said Darum, like a dying old man.
Anna's eyes widened nervously, only to see Ye Wei's look of disbelief, and exclaimed: "I can't believe it, how can you forget Spielberg's amazing performance in "Vanilla Sky"!
"Oh shoooT!!" The crowd shouted again, as if they had accidentally torn up a jackpot winning ticket, that pie duì!
"This can't be!" Darlum cradled his head and spun in place, Pete had to put the camera on the grass and gasp, and the other three were also franticed, and the game was over, and the eccentric middle school student had won......
"Looks like this poster is still mine. Ye Wei rolled up the poster and put it back in his backpack, looked at Anna who was shouting excitedly next to him, and looked at the dumb college students, and then laughed wildly: "Hahaha, Sullivan's trip, hahahaha!"
He took two steps forward, leaned over to the microphone that Flynn was holding, and pretended to be serious: "I want to thank my parents, my sister, and my friends...... I'm so happy!
"I'm so happy too!" Anna Huan jumped over, stretched out her hand and slapped Ye Wei with a heavy palm, frowning in pain, and laughing: "Yay!!"
"Oh oh!", "I don't know how you guys did it, shame on you, let's go." The onlookers threw away a sentence or two, and hurried away, lest the fire burn themselves, and the boy was a humanoid Imdb, and the madman played with him by name and name.
Darum and the others also wanted to leave, but they couldn't do it yet...... What bet did they just promise?
"Hahaha. Ye Wei laughed enough, and pouted at them: "Brothers, do you want to regret it, or what?"
The five sighed and breathed a sigh, distrustful of a middle school student?
"I don't know how they are. Darum scratched off a few heads, gritted his teeth and said, "I lost and admitted, three days, I joined." ”
"I'm on board. Pete nodded helplessly. Parreira also said, "Me too." Hurley King hesitated and nodded, "Join." Forint pointed the microphone to his mouth: "Count me in." ”
"Cool. Ye Wei smiled and winked at Anna, as if to say, "See, it's all in my plan." He said to the five, "But I don't necessarily want you, because what I need is a guy with outstanding talents, and you have to be excellent." ”
Hell, the five of them were almost going to explode, who did he think he was, Spielberg or Fellini? Darum said angrily, "Then what do you want?"
"Aren't you going to do your short film homework? Go on, I'll follow you to investigate, but what about your little cart?" Ye Wei looked at the left and right curiously, aren't you tired of carrying the equipment?
"We're just going to the stadium and taking a few shots. "The five of them are about to get used to Ye Wei's familiarity with the operation of the academy, and the little cart also knows it.
At the moment, Darlum's team continued the original filming operation, went to the Howard Jones Stadium across the avenue, first filmed a "a1k-and-ta1k" shot, and then shot a few ordinary conversation scenes, starring Darum and Parreira, and the reaction from the commentary department became not difficult to understand.
Ye Wei and Anna watched the whole process, the results did not mean a qiē, the eyes could see more, and he was deeply touched by this.
Although the performances of the two are very average, but "talking while walking" is a test of scene scheduling and team coordination, they do a good job, medium to upper studio production level, keep promises, easy to talk, ethnic balance, if there is a better leader to lead, it should be possible to wield higher talents.
So, after watching for an hour, Ye Wei made a decision, and it was them!
Cinematographer: Pete Jean, Gaffer: Hurley King, Sound Engineer & Microphone: Forin Garnard, Art Designer: Parreira Benrilly, 1st Assistant Camera & 1st Assistant Director: Darlum Jenkins.
There is still a gap between the scene notes, the stylist, and preferably a prop master.
"I still need a few guys, do you have any friends to recommend?" Ye Wei asked them.
"Yes, of course...... Hehe...... "Darum and the others all had a bad idea to pull more people into the water!"
So they actively called and contacted three classmates, Jobe Chasak, who has a family background as a prop master, two beautiful women, Amy Kate, who is good at art modeling, and Susan Canel, who is very good at scene notes.
Before the three of them arrived, they didn't know what was going on, and after they knew about it, they started to laugh, they didn't believe in evil, and they teamed up to play another game with Ye Wei, two wins in three games, Coppola and the director's works and Monroe's actors' works, the result was ...... Just joined the crew.
This really made the five Darum breathe a bad breath, and those who laughed at them before should come and see, it's not that they are incompetent, it's that this kid is too strong!
The script of that short film is also well written, they have all seen it, it seems to be a work to make Anna happy, it is really a little ghost, who knows.
Ye Wei knew that these college students were still somewhat reluctant, and his ability had not really been recognized by them, but he believed that it would be different soon.
Indeed, the eight Arhats were quickly startled again, regarding the equipment and actors of the crew, Ye Wei once again hit the idea on the head of Nanjia!
USC's equipment center uses a "produnetumber" system, in which all courses are recorded, and there are strict rules on how much equipment is used for each course, when, and what equipment. Each student in each course will have a work number, and students will borrow equipment according to the regulations.
When collecting the equipment, the staff of the center will put the equipment on a small cart, and then paste the work number form, and the borrower can push the whole car away.
There are two kinds of equipment, most of which can only be borrowed for a week, and one is borrowed for one semester, and most of them are senior students who want to shoot their graduation projects.
And Darum and other juniors are naturally the former, waiting for Wednesday on the 1o of next month, they will make an appointment for the equipment 24 hours in advance, go to get it on Thursday afternoon on the 11th, and it will come in handy on the weekend of the 12th-14th, and then return it before noon on the 16th, "Dance of Angels" has completed the entire shooting. Exactly in accordance with the regulations, and unknowingly, those devices were used by a middle school student once.
"If you like, on the 15th, you can shoot your own work. Ye Wei said.
The eight Arhats' coursework was summed up, and he was able to lend out all the equipment he needed, and all he needed was memory cards and homemade equipment depending on the situation on the set. In this way, you can save a lot of money on equipment rental fees.
This is a feasible plan, as long as the equipment is not damaged, because the crew is themselves, Darum and the others agreed...... It was really Ye Wei who knew the roots, so they couldn't refuse.
The equipment was solved, and there were actors: Daddy Anna, Anna's mother, Mrs. Mary, the truck driver, 8-1o neighbors, 5-8 medical staff, hundreds of theater audiences.
The main thing in this is Anna's parents, the image and temperament are like David and Janet, but they have to be able to perform; Mrs. Mary and the truck driver only have a few shots, a warm-hearted rich middle-aged woman, a coarse middle-aged man who smokes, drinks and talks foul words at first glance; the group actors are easy to find, and the members of the Dream Chaser Alliance can appear if they are interested.
At noon, Anna's parents came to visit, just so that Ye Wei could clearly express his casting intentions to everyone, and after lunch, he continued to work in the afternoon.
With Darum with him, Ye Wei went to the academy building, used the computer to log on to the actor database, checked the information of the actors for a long time, and each of the four roles finalized 5 candidates, all of whom were semi-professional and amateur actors. Acting B, trust the director and acting A, and don't trust the director, often the former will be better.
specifically contacted and arranged rounds of interviews, Ye Wei handed over these matters to Darum and Pareira, and after the round of interviews, 3 actors for each role entered the second round of interviews, and he selected one starring actor and two substitutes. As for those neighborhood group performances, Darum and the two of them will do it all.
These things had to be done within a week, including signing a zero-pay acting contract, etc., and then on the night of the 11th, the day before filming began, the whole crew had a buffet dinner to get acquainted with each other and prepare for the next three days of filming.
As for the venue, he also determined that all the real scenes were used, Anna's house (his own home), Anna's community (Brentwood), the hospital (the corridor outside the disguised dentist's office), and the theater (the Saperstein Theater in Harvard-Westlake Middle School), he asked the old principal, and the shooting was done on Sunday, within three hours, and the faculty supervised, no problem.
The crew is there, the equipment is there, the actors will soon be there, and the post-production special effects are on the side, and then let Darum and them help contact a friend who specializes in "animation and digital art" to help, and then he will personally do the editing and soundtrack, play the cast, and then let Fulin do the final mixing, and that's it!
The blueprint has been drawn, and it depends on how it is implemented.
At around 5 p.m., Ye Wei and Anna got into Anna's parents' car and left USC.
Anna was very satisfied with her first date, and asked Ye Wei several times with the style of "today will be a young and sweet memory for my life", "When are we going to have a second date?"
Ye Wei was really a little afraid of her, and even more afraid that David and Janet would have a misunderstanding, but fortunately they just laughed when they heard it, enlightened parents......
However, he had a real date in the evening, and in the afternoon he received a call from Lily, who had returned from England and bought him a gift.
