385, are you still human (1/4)
Shuimunianhua Film and Television Co., Ltd. was established!
The two major shareholders patted each other on the shoulders and jointly took off the red cloth on the plaque. The scene immediately burst into bursts of applause. The applause was very warm, but there were not many people, so it was just like that.
Tang Shuang and Ye Liang stood under the characters "Shui Mu Nian Hua Film and Television Co., Ltd." and took a group photo.
Including the two of them, as well as Ye Liang's nanny Zhang Aunt, Guo Zifeng who brought the flower basket, and Miao Wen who came on Zhang Tianfeng's behalf, there were only 15 people present.
These people were Ye Liang's crew when filming "The Other Shoe", and now they have been recruited into the film.
Tang Shuang said to Ye Liang with satisfaction: "Although the team is not yet unified, we have taken the first step. You see, the office space is so luxurious and spacious, so we don't have to worry about tricking people into joining us."
Ye Liang said dissatisfiedly: "How are you talking? What is lying! Do we need to lie? Now my brother is also a celebrity. How many people call me to ask for his acquaintance."
This is not a big lie. With the broadcast of "The Other Shoe", this short film instantly became a very popular topic, promoting truth, goodness and beauty, full of positive energy, and received great reviews from both the official and the public.
As a director, Ye Liang has become famous and is well-known in the industry, but this industry is the advertising industry, not the film and television industry.
Tang Shuang said happily: "I'm very happy to see you grow up. It's good. Work hard. The future is yours."
Ye Liang didn't appreciate it: "Don't do this. You are not my elder. Don't speak in this tone."
After the simple unveiling ceremony, everyone entered the room. As the chairman, general manager and director, Ye Liang said a few words briefly.
Ye Liang said: "Starting a business starts from scratch. Today Shuimunianhua officially opens for business. Our first project is also about to be launched. Although we shot an advertisement and became famous, advertising is not our business. Our goal is
The sea of stars is an exciting film and television industry!"
Speaking of this, Ye Liang pointed to Tang Shuang and said: "This is our partner, creative director, producer and screenwriter... The script of the first project has been prepared, very good, as good as ever, everyone is happy
Knowing Tang Shuang's strength, his scripts are quality assurance, and we will definitely hit the mark this time."
"Mr. Ye, we have already made a big splash!" someone said loudly.
Ye Liang smiled and said: "Yes, we have made a big splash, but that is in the advertising industry. Now many companies are looking for me to shoot advertisements. To be honest, the conditions are very generous, but I have rejected them all. No matter how many sesame seeds are on the road, don't pick them up. We
The target is: watermelon!!!”
Why is it a watermelon?
"Our watermelon is movies, movies, movies. I say important things three times, our goal is movies!"
This is Ye Liang's home, that empty, deserted villa. Anyway, he and Aunt Zhang live all year round. Instead of doing this, it is better to free up the first floor for office, so after discussing with Tang Shuang, Shuimunianhua Film and Television Company settled here.
Firstly, I can save money, and secondly, Xiaoye’s house is lively and I don’t feel anxious.
Here, everyone worked in the same hall, with no partitions. Tang Shuang and Ye Liang sat down to discuss the script. When Guo Zifeng saw it, he excused himself and walked away, but was stopped by Ye Liang.
Ye Liang: "Guo Zi, take a look at Tang Shuang's script and give me your opinions."
A stack of A4 paper was thrown to him, but Guo Zifeng did not take it. Instead, he said: "I don't understand movies and I can't give you any opinions. I hope it doesn't delay your important event."
Tang Shuang said: "We are all brothers, why are you saying these unconventional words? I just want you to see it from the perspective of the audience. If you have any opinions, just raise them. If you don't have any, forget it."
Guo Zifeng then sat down, picked up the paper and started reading. He saw two words on the cover - grandma.
This script is about 10,000 words, and Guo Zifeng will finish it in a while, while Tang Shuang and Ye Liang chat.
Tang Shuang said: "The main theme of "The Other Shoe" is warmth. Strictly speaking, this "Grandma" is a horror film. Horror films are easy to make a big deal out of small things, but in fact it is very difficult to shoot, and the requirements for the director are very high, otherwise
You can’t express that kind of temperament in the film, it’s very revealing of your skills.”
Ye Liang nodded.
The two of them had discussed making a horror film for a long time. Tang Shuang originally planned to submit "Grandma" to "United Life Weekly". After reading it, Ye Liang felt that he could make it. The plot was not complicated and the characters were few and simple.
Very suitable for a new director like him.
Tang Shuang: "The plot of this "Grandma" is only 30 minutes. It is not a feature film, so it will definitely not be able to be released on the big screen. There are two ways out. One is to broadcast it on a video website as an online drama, and the other is to sell DVDs."
Ye Liang went on to say: "When dealing with video websites, you either need to share the profit or sell it out in one go. We are newcomers, and the one-time sale fee is definitely not high. It would be good to make a small profit. If we want to share it, even though the proportion is also small.
It won’t be high, but if the quality is good and the market welcomes it, the income can be several times that of selling out.”
Tang Shuang: "It all depends on you. How well you take pictures is directly related to how you will take the next step."
Ye Liang nodded cautiously: "Don't worry, you have to have confidence in me."
Tang Shuang: "Of course I have confidence in you, otherwise I wouldn't play with you. Candy is so fun. In fact, selling DVDs is a very good road. It's the kind of person who makes money without saying a word, but the cycle is long."
Ye Liang said: "Selling DVDs can bring back some funds, but it is extremely difficult to achieve success. Over the years, there are only a handful of films that have made it from the DVD market to the big screen."
…
Guo Zifeng closed the script, sighed, and said, "This was written by Xiao Shuang? Are you still a human being?"
Tang Shuang:Σ(°△°|||)︴
Ye Liang asked with great interest: "What do you mean? Why is Xiaoshuang not a human being? This story is very strange and dark, isn't it? Are you scared?"
Guo Zifeng: "Do you think I was scared?"
Tang Shuang said to Ye Liang: "You shouldn't ask Guo Zi this question. He is very cowardly and specializes in sneaking into places where no one is around. Do you think you can scare him?"
Ye Liang: "That's right, Guo Zi, you also discovered that Xiaoshuang is not a human being, right?"
Guo Zifeng did not participate in the topic of attacking Tang Shuang, but only said about the script: "This is the darkest story I have ever seen. Although I am not afraid, it should scare many people, just like under the bright sun, there is a ghost floating above my head.
The kind where you feel chilly and chilly."
Ye Liang clapped his hands and said: "This is the effect we want. It seems that the script is completely fine. It just depends on whether I can capture this flavor."
Miao Wen couldn't help it anymore, so she came over and said, "Can you show it to me? It will be kept strictly confidential."
Ye Liang couldn't refuse the goddess' request, but the script belonged to Tang Shuang, so he couldn't make any arbitrary decisions.
Tang Shuang made a light gesture, and Miao Wen happily took the script from Guo Zifeng, her eyes hidden under the peaked cap were very lively.
The plot summary of this "Grandma" is that an 8-year-old girl named Xiaoli follows her parents to the countryside to visit her dying grandma. The grandma wants to borrow her body to fulfill her unfinished wish and promises to return it in one day.
Xiaoli hesitated and finally agreed, so grandma's soul lived in Xiaoli's body, and Xiaoli's soul entered grandma's exhausted body.
Grandma went to visit her first love. Before the next night, she went through all kinds of difficulties and finally came back, preparing to re-enter her original body and die...
However, decades later, it was discovered that the soul in Xiaoli’s body was always her grandmother!
That day, grandma returned to the hospital in time, but she did not replace Xiaoli's dying body. She watched her own granddaughter die with all her energy, while she, a bird occupying a dove's nest, restarted her life.
Chapter completed!
