(I wish you all a happy New Year, and hope that in the new year everyone will be prosperous and the sesame seeds will bloom steadily!)
The boss, Wei Xu, said: "This is indeed the case. Now it's just about performance!"
"It's just, third child, so our dormitory 402 is going to be broken up!"
The scene was silent for a moment!
Zheng Jiaming said: "There is always a banquet in the world. In fact, after the New Year, I plan to move out of the dormitory again."
Li Dong said: "So, third child, you plan to live with Chu Lin?"
Zheng Jiaming's face turned red and he said, "I do have this idea. Recently, I have been looking for a house outside the school."
Wei Xu smiled and said: "Actually, Lin Mengxi also told me that she dislikes hotels because they are unhygienic!"
Li Dong also smiled and said: "Okay! So do you!"
"Well, there is a real estate near the school, which happened to be developed by my family in cooperation with others. There are finely decorated rooms in it. Although it is an ordinary two-bedroom apartment, it is quite good for us to be neighbors."
Zheng Jiaming: "I agree. The house is too big and the living space is empty. Two bedrooms is just right. I have no problem."
Wei Xu: "Of course I don't want to be separated from my brothers, but I would like the house to be bigger. Does it have three bedrooms? If there are three bedrooms, I have no problem!"
Li Dong: "Of course he has it. Don't worry, I'll ask them to arrange a cost price for you!"
"By the way, Fourth Brother, what do you say!"
Xie Yu raised his wine glass and said, "I can have two rooms, but it's just the price!"
Li Dong: "Don't worry, it's all at cost!"
Zheng Jiaming raised his glass and said: "Long live brother!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
"I'll go, who wants to be the emperor?"
"Of course it's Director Zheng!"
"Don't talk nonsense. It would be bad if Chu Lin knew."
But in the end, Xie Yu bought a fully decorated house with three bedrooms and two living rooms for a total price of 2.3 million.
Others have also made such a choice, just talk about it for two households.
However, this is already a good deal in Yangcheng, where housing prices are beginning to soar.
Of course, Xie Yu still gave two million to his family as planned, and his parents automatically saved it for Xie Yu, saying it was for buying a house.
Regarding sister, Xie Yu also made up a reason.
I transferred two million to her and asked her to buy a house so that she would not have to worry about renting in the future.
This is a bit shocking to senior students who have already gone to school in Qindao and want to stay and work in Qindao after graduation.
My sister called me for half an hour and said that the pain to me was indeed not in vain.
Then he asked directly if making movies was really that profitable, and if she wouldn't be counted as a share.
Xie Yu naturally promised that next time there was investment, he would get her a share.
However, it is true that filmmaking is a very risky industry, and the 80/20 rule is indeed rampant.
Although Xie Yu made an author-style movie script, he did capture the essence of some low-budget movies.
Sure enough, when I returned home this time, the house was much more lively.
Many acquaintances who contributed to the box office of Xie Yu's movies consider themselves heroes.
Many people began to ask what the crew was like and how the movie was made.
For these "finance owners", Xie Yu answered most of them if he could, and was vague about those that he couldn't answer.
Many relatives thought it was a good job, and even thought of putting on a bedroll and working for Xie Yu, while Xie Yu would just take care of the food.
This was impossible at that time, completely impossible. Xie Yu knew them too well. It was so normal for them to bully others, pretend to be powerful, and do one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
He just said that he would be a student in the future, and he would write scripts, and it was the director’s job to hire people.
Then, Xie Yu was dragged into tutoring their children in composition.
So depressed!
So after the new year, just after the fifteenth year, Xie Yu returned to school early.
Of course, go back to school early.
First, because I want to move to a new house.
The second is to go through the process of transferring departments. At this point, there is only one name left in dormitory 402.
However, since the accommodation fee paid is still for one semester, dormitory 402 will not be refunded.
In the next semester, Xie Yu will come back to live often. After all, living alone sometimes will be really boring if you don't find something to do for yourself.
So Xie Yu, who often reads in the school library, sometimes persists until the last minute to rush people out. How interesting!
After the start of the new semester, Xie Yu successfully transferred to the junior screenwriting class of the Art College. However, the tuition fees at the Art College were unexpectedly expensive. It cost 30,000 yuan per year, which was six or seven times that of the finance school.
Fortunately, Xie Yu is not short of money. When he first entered the screenwriting class, everyone was quite curious about Xie Yu. After all, Xie Yu's appearance was too strange.
Although the screenwriting department and all art departments have the lowest looks, they are above average. If Xie Yu hadn't made a low-cost exploitation horror movie, they wouldn't even watch Xie Yu!
Moreover, on the first day after entering the screenwriting class, the class teacher Yao finished the introduction, which was the first thing I did after Xie Yu.
One of Xie Yu's wishes in life was fulfilled, which was to show movies during class in broad daylight, and it was done openly.
However, when it comes to Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf written by Xie Yu, why do I feel a little ashamed!
Especially because this movie was made by students from our school. Although they are not students from the School of Art, everyone is still very enthusiastic.
However, Xie Yu felt bad when he commented while reading.
Basically every other paragraph, someone says that the processing of this paragraph is not artistic enough or something.
"The great French director said..., the British director said..., the German director said..., the Italian director said..."
"This section deals with frizz, something should be added."
"This paragraph makes no sense. The lead actor's lines are too bad and the supporting characters are too few."
"It doesn't make sense that this kind of rubbish movie has box office success. There must be some inside story!"
"What's the inside story? The screenwriter is from a small city, his family and art are not compatible, and there are no beautiful female characters in the movie. I guess it's just luck!"
…
In the midst of suffering, the movie finally ended.
The head teacher, Teacher Yao, first led the students and applauded sparsely!
Then he said: "Students, now we invite Xie Yu to come up and answer some of our questions."
The applause was much louder. Although he was caught off guard, Xie Yu still walked towards the podium.
However, Xie Yu, who was a little nervous, just came to the podium and changed his position. Xie Yu laughed at himself: "Students, you may not understand the feeling of being blocked by the table, so I'd better move my position!"
As soon as this playful self-deprecation was said, there was laughter in the classroom, and the atmosphere immediately became more lively.
Then, the head teacher, Teacher Yao, smiled and said: "It seems that our classmate Xie Yu has a quite humorous personality, but I wonder if you can tell us about the background of your script creation and the inspiration for your creation at that time!"
Xie Yu: "No problem, no problem, I just don't know where to start."
Teacher Yao, the head teacher: “Let’s talk about the motivation for creating the script first!”
Xie Yu "Is it an inducement?"
"The inducement is also very simple. I was reading in the library at the time, and the girlfriend of the third child in our dormitory was cheated on by her boyfriend because she had experience as an actress."
"I just want his boyfriend to write a movie about cleaning up a scumbag."
"By the way, the third child is Zheng Jiaming. He has also transferred to the directing class now."
There was an immediate "Huh..." voice in the audience.
"The third child naturally dragged us into the water. The League of Legends was going crazy at that time, and they didn't even have time to play games. They had no time, so this task naturally fell on me."
"Because there is only a budget of one million, and there are two professional actors. In fact, the professional actors at least take the normal budget as salary."
"I can only think about using the fewest scenes and the fewest people as much as possible. Anyway, I am trying to save money."
"As for the artistry that everyone talks about, I really don't understand. I come from a small county, and my ancestors are farmers, and I have no connection with artists."
"My reference books are all "Classic Three Paragraphs", "Leopard Head and Phoenix Tail", "What's the Most Economical", and "Price-Performance Paragraphs".
At this moment, someone in the audience immediately whispered: "No wonder, it smells like cheap craftsmanship."
Xie Yu naturally did not respond.
On the other hand, the head teacher, Teacher Yao, said: "Classmate Xie, according to you, this is a propositional author's film."
Xie Yu roughly understood the meaning of these words and replied: "Absolutely!"
Class teacher Yao: "No wonder. Although there are no shots of artistic value, you can design these paragraphs within such a limited budget. Plus you are not in a screenwriting class and are just self-taught. It is already very rare."
"By the way, I heard that you were a big hit at the box office, so you made a lot of money with your small skills!"
Xie Yu: "No, not much, I just got my money back!"
At this time, one of the three girls in the class suddenly asked: "So, classmate Xie, how much money did you share? Can you please disclose it?"
Seeing that the girl's appearance was acceptable, Xie Yu hesitated and said, "Two million or so!"
The class immediately started to sigh, and many students muttered: "At this level, how can I earn so much? I can also write."
Feeling excited, the classmate shouted: "Thank you, classmate, I have a very good script. I believe you will make money if you invest. Come, let me tell you..."
Ouch, many students stood up, looking at Xie Yu like wolves seeing meat, and kept shouting.
Some students even slapped the table vigorously in order to attract Xie Yu's attention.
At this time, a female classmate shouted: "Thank you, classmate, as long as you vote for my script, I will be your girlfriend!"
This voice was so domineering that the other students were stunned.
Xie Yutou warmed up for a moment, and then said: "I'm sorry, I know this female classmate well. I'm a perfect match for you!"
"And when I bought a house with two million, you know that if you are not a local, the bank will not give you a loan. I bought it with full payment."
"Huh……."
The students were immediately relieved and regained their dignity as "artists"!
The head teacher, Teacher Yao, first exhaled and said: "So, classmate Xie, do you have any new scripts now, and do you have any plans for filming next!"
Xie Yu thought to himself: "Who are these people? I wouldn't tell them even if they were there."
Xie Yu: "No, Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, that was an accident that was forced out of me. The most important thing for me next is to study! I definitely have no plans to film in the short term!"
The head teacher, Teacher Yao, was a little disappointed and said: "This is indeed the case. Thank you, classmate. The most important thing for you now is to lay the foundation. Okay, you can go back to it first!"
Xie Yu quickly walked to his seat.
Teacher Yao, the head teacher: "Okay, everyone knows the new students, let's go to class!"
"Today, we are talking about French New Wave films, in the 1970s and 1980s..."
Under the desk, Xie Yu flipped through a few textbooks that he had just received and hadn't had time to review yet.
Just flipping through a few pictures, they are all from the last century!
It’s strange, it’s the 21st century now, 14 years old, why do the textbooks still talk about things that happened decades ago?
However, as the teacher explained it, Xie Yudao found it quite interesting!
Some are like the New Culture Movement, which opposes the eradication of individuality and creativity.
Xie Yu understands this quite well. In some aspects, movies are also a dream-making technique, which does require creativity.
Xie Yu instantly entered the state of a good student.
If you don't go to the art school, you don't know what freedom is. There are no classes in the afternoon.
Xie Yu planned to take a good dip in the library after dinner, and while his memory was good, he could recharge himself.
However, just after class, Xie Yu met Lao San and made an appointment for dinner.
Xie Yu naturally went to the banquet with enthusiasm. After dinner, the two of them shared a seat.
Xie Yu said strangely: "Third brother, before you eat, you always estimate your food intake and give me whatever you think you can't eat. Why didn't you... today?" Zheng Jiaming, the third child, smiled and said, "I said you A fourth child, he always likes to drag me to eat together, relationships can take advantage!"
Xie Yu: "Wasting food is a shameful behavior. We must put an end to all behaviors that are not conducive to the people and conducive to conservation."
The third child smiled and said: "The emotional fourth child, I teach others in the morning, and you teach me at noon!"
"never mind!"
After saying that, the third child helped Xie Yu to serve vegetables and rice. Xie Yu didn't think it was unhygienic and naturally liked it very much.
Xie Yu also asked: "What class are you taking!"
Zheng Jiaming complained: "When it comes to classes, I just teach those people how to make movies and how to sell movies."
"By the way, when it comes to making movies, fourth child, you still have to write the script!"
Xie Yu asked doubtfully: "You have collected a lot of scripts, right? Didn't you like any of them?"
Zheng Jiaming: "I accepted a lot, but the strange thing is that there is no normal person in the script they wrote."
"They are either marginalized elements of society or schizophrenics. They have ideas, but those ideas are not normal. If I film them."
"You don't have to find anyone to watch it, it won't be sold, and it will have to be paid to grandma's house. I make movies to make money, not to lose money."
Xie Yu nodded and said: "It's still the 28-year-old rule. A movie that is popular must have a reason to be a hit. A movie that is not a hit will naturally have its flaws."
Zheng Jiaming, the third child, said: "Although my uncle gives me a lot of support, he is a businessman after all, and he also depends on the rate of return!"
"Is there anything else I'm weird about?"
Xie Yu chewed a piece of beef and took a mouthful of rice, and said, "What's weird!"
Zheng Jiaming, the third child: “I found that although the teaching materials used by our directing department were printed in 2013, most of the contents were courses taught in the last century, and they even included an introduction to the use of film cameras.”
"It's so strange. You have to know that Kodak, the only film manufacturer in the world, has gone bankrupt!"
Xie Yu: "That's true. In our screenwriting department, the course also talks about the new wave of baguettes in the 1970s and 1980s!"
"Looking at reality, although the new wave of Baguette is very popular and has a so-called artistic atmosphere, the development of national films mainly relies on government funding."
"Except for those exaggerated comedy movies, the internal cycle of the overall movie market has been interrupted, and the theaters are basically showing Hollywood blockbusters."
