Chapter 4: The System Turns On! Ace directors start with manslaughter!
Chapter 4: The System Turns On! Ace directors start with manslaughter!
At this moment, the system is officially activated.
Su Yang was slightly stunned, and in the moment he was stunned, a mechanical voice sounded in his ears.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for awakening the ace director system! 】
【Ding! Remaining host life detected: 91 days! 】
【Ding! System Missions are now available! Successfully shoot a movie, and after the movie is released, you can get a mission reward when the box office reaches 3 billion! 】
[Reward: Life Potion (Small); Director's Skills +1]
91 days to shoot a movie with a box office of over 3 billion!
Hearing this, Su Yang's fingers trembled slightly.
He thought that after shooting a hundred bad movies, he would be able to completely get rid of the directing industry, and then use the system to help him forcibly continue his life.
But at the moment, it seems that it has backfired.
Even though he lost his family property and shot a hundred bad movies, he still had to be a director.
And, to shoot a movie with a box office of 3 billion.
How difficult it is!
This difficulty made Su Yang's scalp tingle.
You must know that there are only ten movies with a box office of more than 3 billion in the industry since the 90s, each of which is a classic among the classics, and a box office of more than 3 billion means that this movie can enter the history of the Chinese box office.
What is this concept?
Su Yang entered the film industry with a family property of 10 billion yuan and worked in the industry for five years, but he never had a movie with a box office of more than 300 million.
Now that he is penniless, the system wants to shoot a movie with a box office of 3 billion!
How is this possible?
Other than that.
His current reputation has stinked in the directorial world, and few audiences are willing to pay for the movies they shoot, in this case, the audience itself is resistant, and it is difficult to have a box office of more than one million, let alone 100 million.
At last.
Su Yang is a time-traveler, he once thought about moving the movies that were popular on the Internet in his previous life to his big screen for shooting.
But, there's a catch.
First, Su Yang is afraid of making a profit, because his ultimate goal is to lose his family property, and if he makes a profit, he will be killed by the disease sooner or later.
Second, even if he wants to shoot a good movie for the sake of fame, Su Yang can't memorize a complete movie script.
Making a movie is not writing a novel, as long as you remember the plot and story line, movies need a plot, but it doesn't just need a plot.
Shooting a film requires lens language.
It requires more professional knowledge, needs to have an extremely sensitive capture ability to the scene, and needs to train the actors to get into the state.
Scenes, shots, scripts, lighting, props, lines, and so on are all indispensable.
Therefore, making a movie is not about remembering the plot and remaking it.
And now, Su Yang is facing this trouble.
He remembers a lot of movies in his previous life, but if he is really asked to shoot them, he may not be able to make a good movie, and it is very likely that it will still be a bad movie.
At that time, the box office will not exceed 3 billion, even if it exceeds 10 million, it will never be possible.
Come to think of it.
Su Yang's footsteps stopped at the door of the villa.
After arranging the servants and telling Su Yang a few more words, Liu Tianwang had already left.
Now, in the entire villa, only Su Yang and a few unknown servants remained.
Su Yang sat on the sofa in the living room, his brows furrowed.
He wants to find a way out of the current dilemma.
And if you want to get out of the predicament, you must make use of your own connections, and your cheap father is Su Shihao, chairman of Xingchen Film and Television, although he has passed away now, his connections are still there.
Think of these connections.
Su Yang clasped his thumb, and after thinking for a while, he finally dialed a phone call!
In any industry, going from 0 to 1 is extremely difficult.
Because it's from nothing.
But from 1 to 100, this is a process of rapid development and accumulation, but this process is much simpler than going from 0 to 1!
Su Yang has experienced 100, and naturally knows how difficult it is to start from scratch.
So.
Su Yang dialed the phone!
The script, he has, and naturally he can provide it, but Su Yang doesn't have the directing skills, he can't command the set, and he doesn't have the professional knowledge to schedule shots and actors, so he needs a professional director.
……
It's night.
The moon stars are scarce.
A BMW X5 was parked in front of the villa.
Soon, a figure stepped down from the BMW X5.
He opened the door of the villa and walked towards the study where Su Yang was.
Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door, Su Yang sat in the study, his head was not raised, he was still rushing the script, and he had been writing the script in the study since he dialed the phone in the afternoon and told Zhang Yimou that he had a perfect script here.
Now Zhang Yimou has it.
As a junior, Su Yang knew that it was rude for him not to go downstairs to greet him, but if Zhang Yimou came and couldn't see the script he wanted, then the cooperation would collapse.
Compared with going downstairs to greet Zhang Yimou, it is obviously more valuable to finish writing this script.
Although Zhang Yimou is his father's connection, if he can't use it for himself, this connection is useless.
"Well, I'm here!"
Pinching his wrist, Su Yang opened his mouth with tired eyes.
"Tsk! Xiaoyang, what's the big deal with calling your uncle so late? ”
Zhang Yimou's eyes were deep, and after walking into the study, he sat directly on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at Su Yang from afar, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
For Su Yang, he admires it very much.
At 24 years old, it can be described as young.
But he is young and does not have the impetuosity of young people, and he is extremely calm and sophisticated in his gestures.
The only thing that's regrettable is his directing talent.
In terms of directing, Su Yang has no talent, which also led him to make movies for five years, but there is not much progress, although the films are all commercial films, they are all bad movies.
Chen Kaige once commented on Su Yang: The sense of the lens is extremely poor.
This sense of the lens is not acting, acting skills can be honed, but the sense of the lens is all talent, if the talent is not good, it is not good, if you are forced to be a director, you can only be a third-rate director.
At this moment, Zhang Yimou's eyes were on Su Yang.
But Su Yang didn't even raise his head, still writing hard.
He sat on the chair with his waist straight, and his pen was fast, but the handwriting on the manuscript paper was neat and not a little messy.
He was dressed in a white nightgown with black-rimmed glasses, a serious expression and a focused look.
See this scene.
The corners of Zhang Yimou's mouth curled slightly, now, when he looked at Su Yang, he always felt that if Su Yang was not a director, he must be a young talent.
Pity.
Went the wrong way.
At the same time, after seeing Su Yang so focused, Zhang Yimou didn't bother.
He just quietly looked at the red sandalwood desk with a heavy historical atmosphere in front of Su Yang, Zhang Yimou likes to collect these old objects.
If you guess correctly, this red sandalwood desk should be some years old.
And Su Yang was wearing a very modern nightgown and sitting at a desk with black-framed glasses, but it was like a blend of history.
air.
All that remains is the rustle of the tip of the pen against the paper.
Finally, Su Yang put down the pen, he re-examined his manuscript, and after checking it, he immediately stood up and walked to Zhang Yimou with the manuscript.
Directly above the manuscript, two words are neatly written.
Manslaughter
