May 2nd.

Evening.

Zhou Yang sat alone on a chair in the office, looking at the shooting plan of "Infernal Affairs" over and over again.

The plan is detailed.

However, Zhou Yang always felt that something was missing.

It was said in "The Art of Film" that film is an art composed of sound and picture.

The "Introduction to Film" in the elective course textbook of the Department of Directing of Yenching University has a detailed introduction to film art.

A truly classic movie, it not only allows ordinary audiences to indulge in the plot of the movie, but also allows thoughtful audiences to interpret what kind of intuitive feelings the creator wants to present to the movie through the story in the movie.

How to be immersive depends on the rhythm of the movie, the attractiveness of the story, the soundtrack that renders the scene, and the expressive ability of the actors.

These things are indispensable.

The evening wind blew Zhou Yang's face, he closed the shooting plan, and then came to the windowsill and closed his eyes, motionless as if an old monk had settled down.

He's reminiscing.

Recall as much as possible all the information about Infernal Affairs in his memory.

Infernal Affairs is the Infernal Hell, which comes from the nineteenth volume of the Nirvana Sutra: "The Buddha said: The body is infertile and will never die, and longevity is the great calamity in the infernal hell", the old translation used to be Abi Hell.

When I first watched the opening of "Infernal Affairs", Zhou Yang thought it was a ghost movie.

Instead of bringing warmth and light, the blazing flames slowly sink into the abyss against the cold and dark background of Infernal Hell, and the eerie soundtrack is like a mysterious call from the other side, looping in the ears, adding a dominant tone of black, making the film even more permeable.

Zhou Yang, who was a student, subconsciously clenched the handle of the chair after watching the opening of the film, and unconsciously stood on end, for fear that in the dark and hazy world, something terrifying would jump out and scare him into cardiac arrest.

After many years, looking back now, he can still feel the sense of immersion in the depths of his memory.

However, this movie is not a horror movie after all.

Scene after scene flipped.

Bursts of chanting echoed in his ears.

The melody is soft, sad, as if something is fading away until it fades away.

That's the melody of "Goodbye Police".

The pictures were faintly melody in the depths of his memory, and he wanted to see them clearly, or to make them clearer, but he couldn't see them clearly.

Then there was a burst of indescribable exhaustion, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh long.

He knew that his thinking had reached its limit.

Just as he was finishing his things, he heard a knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhou, the ticket to Hong Kong Island has been bought, Team Leader Li Qiang found the shooting scene on Hong Kong Island, I don't know if it meets your requirements, I hope you will go to the site to see it in person."

"Good!"

"Mr. Zhou, are we just going to forget it?"

"What's the matter?"

"...... over there in 'The Departed'"

"If the crew is missing, anyone will turn around, help me let out the wind, and say that the actors will audition for "Infernal Affairs" two days later, ......"

"Okay."

"By the way, the supervisor has invited you to have a cup of coffee, the time is tomorrow morning, are you free?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

"Okay, I'll get back to the director."

"Hmm."

After Xu Mei left.

Zhou Yang packed up his things and returned to his chair.

Then, his phone rang.

The phone was an unfamiliar American number, and the English greeting on the phone seemed familiar, and he hesitated for a while before he realized who that person was.

Subsequently, I felt very surprised!

On the other end of the line was James. Bont called.

"Dear Mr. Zhou Yang, I plan to shoot "Jaws"!"

"Congratulations, Mr. James."

"Haha, by the way, did you receive the payment for the script? I've had someone send you a company account! ”

"Huh? Haven't seen ...... yet."

"Haha, Mr. Zhou Yang, I called this time to invite you to serve as the guidance consultant of Jaws...... Interested in sunbathing on Martha's Vineyard? I have a lot of beautiful girls here, and they are very interested in you, and I am sure that you will "linger" when you come, haha......"

Martha's Vineyard is the filming location for Jaws.

In and James. When Bont separated, he once mentioned it to Zhou Yang, but he didn't expect James. Bont is a man of action, and within a few days, the whole movie was ready to be filmed.

He called Zhou Yang this time to invite Zhou Yang to be the scene consultant of "Jaws". Bont instantly felt regretful.

Of course regret is regret, James. When Bont confirmed that Zhou Yang could not join the "Jaws" drama group as a consultant, he changed his way and continued to chat with Zhou Yang about the movie like an old friend. What Bont is good at, so he asked James about it. Bont has some problems with the atmosphere of the film......

At first it was a chat, but in the end, it was basically James. Bont was saying that Zhou Yang was learning.

The notebook in my hand had a lot of stuff in my hand.

…………………………

Hong Kong Island.

SPPD Cafe.

Guan Tong seems to like the kind of quiet, piano-flavored place.

The crew of "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" has been set, and it was originally planned to be on Taiwan Island, but when he heard that Zhou Yang's "Infernal Affairs" seemed to be planning to shoot on Hong Kong Island, Guan Tong temporarily changed to Hong Kong Island, and it was about ten minutes away from the filming location of "Infernal Affairs".

The investor was dissatisfied, and hoped that Guan Tong would give him an explanation on the phone, but Guan Tong was not used to him, and kicked him without saying a word.

There's no shortage of those millions of investments.

The sound of piano music filled the air, and Guan Tong sat opposite Zhou Yang in a long black dress, looking intellectual and elegant.

In this film circle, where tens of millions of dollars are often used, "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" is really a small-budget movie.

The total investment is only about 10 million.

Guan Tong personally invested 3 million, and after kicking away the investors, the remaining 7 million was invested by Huaxing.

Although Zhou Yang didn't know how much box office this movie would have in the future, he liked this script a lot, and after finalizing the approximate investment contract in the café and stamping it, Guan Tong didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, but pushed the black-framed glasses, looked Zhou Yang up and down, and a little smile flashed on his face.

Mr. Zhou...... I know you're good at writing songs, and I want you to write a theme song for a movie. ”

"Uh."

Zhou Yang was a little stunned for a moment after looking at the expression on Guan Tong's face.

"I want the movie to present a kind of regret, a feeling of dreaming back to youth......," Guan Tong began to tell Zhou Yang about the feeling she wanted the movie to present.

An infectious movie, in addition to the plot itself is good enough and infectious, the background soundtrack is definitely a plus.

After Zhou Yang listened to Guan Tong, he fell into a trance, and after a while, he showed a smile again.

"Do you have pen and paper?"

"You have it?"

"Write, write, read."

……………………

Zheng Dayong, the editor-in-chief of Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly, has been investigated.

I heard that some old cases were involved, and even human lives were involved.

But rarely, there was not much coverage on Weibo, and even the media in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan did not expose the incident.

Even [Zhou Yang's love affair exposed], which had become "explosive" or "boiling", suddenly disappeared overnight.

It's as if it's deliberately downplaying something.

In the chaotic years before Hong Kong Island's return to the motherland, there were already many people who went missing, and many things could not be excavated deeply, and most of Hong Kong Island would be shaken if they were really excavated, which was absolutely not conducive to the peace and stability of Hong Kong Island.

Django didn't know what was going on or what the truth was, he just felt a chill.

Of course......

There is also a hint of instinctive disdain.

The world is always unfair.

Just as Django felt that Zhou Yang had shit luck in falling in love with a rich woman, and he wanted to be talented and good-looking, but he couldn't get the favor of a rich woman of this level.

And this rich woman is very likely to be in charge of movies in the future.

There is jealousy, anxiety, and envy.

"Prepare yourself, and you'll come with me to see John later. William Puss ......"

"John. William Puss is ......"

Django's phone rang, and it was Cao Bangguo on the other end of the phone.

When he heard the content of Cao Bangguo's phone, Django was stunned for a while, he only felt that he had heard of this fame, but he couldn't remember anything for a while.

"Hollywood's top soundtrack master, who has participated in the soundtracks of "Superman", "Jurassic", "Paradise Theater" ......"

"Oh my God! Uncle Cao, can you invite such a character? ”

"We talked about it before when I was in Cannes......"

"Oh, thank you, Uncle Cao!"

"Thank you, it's the king to make a good classic, and it's not sure yet, you're meeting John. When William Puss was in power, he had a good chat with him about the core of the movie "Nightcrawler" as much as possible to sublimate the art, he has always been interested in good movies, by the way, he likes to drink coffee, he likes piano music, you find a better café on Hong Kong Island......"

"yes, I know."

No doubt.

"Nightcrawler" has John. With the addition of a Hollywood soundtrack master like William Puss, it can definitely become an international film that is forced to be high enough.

The afternoon sun shines through the window.

Django smiled brightly as he looked at the cast and roster of Nightcrawler.

Then, he put away his smile and carefully analyzed the content in "Night Walker", and grasped the core of the key and sublimated parts of the movie.

He would use his talent and language skills to make John. William Puss, the Hollywood soundtrack master, was impressed.

Two hours later......

Django came to the door of the SPPD café.

As soon as he arrived at the café door, he saw a business vehicle stopped.

Subsequently......

He saw in the business car, Cao Bangguo and John. William Puth walked down.

He suddenly felt a little nervous inexplicably.

It was the first time he had come into contact with a big man of this level.

------Off topic------

It's really a vicious circle, it's getting late, I don't know what to say sorry today, this author is too annoying......
