"We did a bad photo shoot? What else would those guys do besides criticizing this and that with their mouths? They haven't even taken the camera!"

"It will continue to be like this in the future. We will shoot it half-dead, and then these 'film critics' will whine and we will become a pile of garbage."

"Stop complaining, who told you not to study the Department of Commentary Theory?"

"Everyone, do you know what the screenwriter department says about us? A new Hollywood slave who has no artistic pursuit!"

"So those assholes aren't going to write a commercial script for Hollywood? What noble saints!"

On the grass, the group of five college students, four men and one woman, walked by, talking, as if they were going to the sports venue across the avenue. Their eyes saw a tall Asian teenager walking hand in hand with a blond white girl. The middle school and elementary school students were strange, but they didn't look much and didn't stop.

Unexpectedly, the boy turned around and followed him, smiling at them, "Hey, man, this is a bit like "Eight and Half", isn't it?"

The five people couldn't help but pause when they heard this, and they all looked at him. One of them was wearing a baseball cap and a freckled face and smiled and said, "Child, do you know "Eight and Half"?"

"Eight and Half" is one of the representative works of Italian film master Federico Fellini, a classic stream of consciousness. The story mainly tells the story of a film director trapped in a creative crisis and constantly struggling between dreams and reality. It can be said that all people who study movies have watched this movie, but a middle school kid? Shouldn't he be crazy about Lindsay Lohan?

"Is it surprising? There are art theaters in the United States!" Ye Wei joked and introduced himself: "I am Wei, this is Anna, she is my female lead in the crew."

Anna smiled generously and said, "Also, we're on a date."

"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter and their faces turned red in a few seconds. The crew, female lead, date...!

Middle school students can use DVs to mess with them, but it is best not to speak so seriously, they are so nerd! Do they want to laugh so hard!?

The big red-haired white boy carrying a camera almost smashed the machine to the ground; the other Asian boy with black hair and wide face was also smiling, as if watching a house with the theme of making a movie.

"What are you going to film, "The Beauty of Comet?" The big boy's laughter made everyone laugh almost roll.

"No, no, I think they are more like "Sullivan's Travel", but you are a director, right?" The freckled boy laughed again as soon as he finished speaking.

Several others also laughed to death. "Sullivan's Travel" is also a long-standing black and white movie:

A comedy director wanted to make a movie about the serious themes of the people at the bottom. In order to create, he dressed up as a poor man and went deep into the folk to experience life. On the way, he met a girl who dreamed of being an actor and wandered with her...

It is a classic black humorous comedy in film history, and many comedy expressions in later generations should be regarded as their ancestors.

"You are really right, yes, I am a director." Ye Wei shrugged, with a calm expression on his face.

Anna was frowning. Although she didn't know what "Sullivan's Travel" was, she could see the other party's contempt. "How many years are you old? Why do you look down on people? I think she knows movies more than you. He wrote a great script!"

Her serious expression failed to stop everyone's crazy laughter. Only the female college student laughed enough: "Okay, they're just children."

"It's okay, you can laugh enough." Ye Wei raised the corner of his mouth. Maybe you won't be able to laugh later.

"I'm Dalum, kids, how old are you?" the freckled boy asked with a joking look on his face: "Just just eloped out of home?"

"Enough!" Anna glared at him, "My parents brought us."

Oh my God! Everyone was really tired of laughing. What can you do with two children? They said their names, but the boy actually asked about their major development direction. Everyone was puzzled by why he understood the teaching methods of USC, but the answer was not a secret, so he said it.

All five are juniors who majored in film and television production. A typical student crew: Pete is carrying the camera, majoring in photography and vision; Asian man Heli Jin, holding a luminous board, is Korean, photography and lighting; Fulin is holding a boom and a gun-shaped microphone, recording and mixing; the brown-haired girl who is not holding is called Parela, art design; and Darum, producer and director.

In addition, Parera and Dalum are a couple.

"OK, OK..." Ye Wei looked at them again, as if he was looking at five fat steaks, and asked: "Are you doing short film homework? Whose homework?"

"Uh, Durum and Pete's..." Everyone's weirdness became even worse, Durum had to ask: "Boy, how could you be so clear?"

Anna raised her face, as if she was talking to the sky: "I said it a long time ago, he understands movies."

This is not whether you understand movies or not, it is about the operation of the college! They really can't understand, alumni? Haven't you ever heard of such a person in the college...

"I just know that it's not the Stone Age now." Ye Wei smiled and asked the third question: "Brothers, how are your achievements?"

"Why do I want to answer you..." Dalum was about to go crazy and no one else wanted to answer. Parela asked, "Is there anything wrong with you coming to Southern California?"

"Yes, like Anna said, I wrote a ten-minute short script and was planning to build a crew to shoot it, so I came here to recruit people, are you interested?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what to laugh or what to do. Darum pointed his hand south: "Brother, you've taken the wrong path, the handicraft art high school is there!"

"No, I'm a student from Harvard-West Lake. Is anyone a wolf-very?" Ye Wei asked. If there is an alumnus, it would be easier to talk too much.

"We are all poor children." "Wow, that's my dream place. I heard that many celebrities' children are here, won't you?"...

Without alumni, Ye Wei would not talk to them: "Anyway, this is the case. I sincerely come to seek cooperation. The filming will be completed in three days from the 12th to the 14th of next month."

"No interest..." Dalum raised his hands helplessly, and everyone couldn't help but shrugging. If it weren't for this interesting pair of Romeo and Juliet, they would have continued to leave.

Anna looked at Ye Wei nervously, not knowing what he had to do.

"Really?" Ye Wei smiled, and had already prepared the bait. He took out something from his backpack behind him, a poster of "American Style Painting" and smiled and said, "What about now? I see that there is nothing on it. That's right, this is the autograph of "Tao Zai"; and this is Lucas."

"American Style Painting" (1973) is George Lucas's famous work. "Tao Zai" is one of the protagonists of the film, played by Lang Howard. Both are great directors and both are alumni of the USC.

However... both signatures were copied by him after searching online, and then his handwriting was made old and looked like it was real.

"Wow!" Everyone's eyes lit up. They are not star-chasers. There are a lot of celebrities among the visiting professors of the college. They can also contact big names in various activities, including George Lucas, but this poster is still very attractive to them and is so precious.

"How did you get it?" Darum asked anxiously.

"eBay, money." Ye Weiman looked at them indifferently: "Do you want it? Let's play a game. If you win, it's yours. If you lose, you have to help me. Of course, you can regret it if you lose. Anyway, I can't sue you to prison. How about it?"

"Good idea!" Anna applauded excitedly, "What game?"

Everyone looked at each other again, what's the matter! Who is this little guy? Why is he so confident...

"What game?" Darum also asked, first listening to what this kid wants to play.

"Maybe you have played it, maybe not." Ye Wei knocked on the poster in his hand. This was a game he and his classmates often played in that dream:

"Name and name, first determine a filmmaker, then determine a professional work, and then both sides take turns saying one of his works. They cannot be repeated. If anyone can't say it, they will lose. After all, they will draw and continue with the next filmmaker. Three games, two wins, five games, three wins, you can choose."

Everyone laughed again. It was a nerd game elsewhere, but the film school was different. This showed my personal reading volume and memory! This kid also had to play the game's hell difficulty.

Although the courses in film and television production are not like those in the commentary theory, there are not many filming, which is simply from the first day of admission to the last day of graduation, every student has a compulsory course in film history, majoring in a period and genre, such as the 1940s and 1950s, the 1950s and 1960s, the French New Wave, the Golden Age of Hollywood, etc.

In addition, I am also a movie fan, and I can’t count the movies I have watched. Middle school students play with them? It’s like a baby playing boxing with Tyson! An old lady playing basketball with Jordan!

"By the way, I am the only one who treats you five," Ye Wei said again.

"Ye! Are you sure?" Anna exclaimed immediately. This is not only unfair, but also too difficult.

The five college students were speechless. Their film history was different. Think about what the effect would be if they were superimposed? Ants and Tyson were boxing?

"Nothing, I can handle it." Ye Wei blinked at Anna, then raised the "precious" poster and asked, "A word, do you want to play? College boys and girls."

Weird! The five people hesitated, of course not because they were afraid, they were not at all, but because this matter was too strange...

After a while, Dalum suddenly burst into laughter and scratched his freckled nose, "Okay, but still one-on-one, I don't want to bully the kid too much."

"Yes." "Dalum is enough for one person." The other four people mean this. Isn't it just to teach a lesson to a child who is ignorant of the world? There is no need for five people.

"No, my crew needs you five, if you can be strong." Ye Wei's faint tone seemed very arrogant, "Let's go together."

"Boy, do you know that you're funny..." Dallum began to want to teach the other party a lesson, but due to morality, it was difficult to respond.

At this time, some students around him gradually surrounded him curiously. After asking what was going on, they also laughed: "Let's play!", "Let's see how many rounds he can hold?", "Boy, will you sell this poster?", "Don't think about it, he is a child from Harvard-West Lake, and he doesn't have to worry about money."...

"If you don't play, I'll find someone else." Ye Wei looked at the six and seven new people.

"They are scared..." Anna pretended to be mysterious and whispered, everyone could clearly hear it.

"Okay, okay, this is what you asked for, I've played it! Two wins in three games!" Darum said loudly, "Sorry first, it will make you embarrassed in front of your little girlfriend." Everyone around laughed and cheered: "Boy, you choose a filmmaker, Lindsay Lohan?", "Are those Disney kids more suitable, which one?"

"You choose a filmmaker, I choose a profession, say it, stop talking nonsense." Ye Wei smiled, and Anna next to him fisted like a warm-up, making a horrible sound!

"Okay, it's Fellini." Darum was very casual. Hadn't he watched "Eight and Half"? Then Fellini, choose an Italian, which shows his demeanor.

Ye Wei rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "The directorial profession, of course, listen, "The Road."

This kid is cruel enough! He was his representative work "The Road" from the beginning, and Dalum was not polite: "The Eight and Half"."

A whistle sounded, and everyone's smiles became more and more joyful.
Chapter completed!
