Sound of Rebirth

Although An Zhixiao and Shen Yanru haven't read the script of Ye Xingyuan's movie, they generally know it.

The movie is mainly about a young man from a small town. His father is a well-known tailor in the city, with excellent craftsmanship.He studied with his father since he was a child, and he is talented in this area, so his father has high hopes for him, hoping that he can inherit the family business and carry it forward.But the protagonist is completely unimpressed with this kind of "girly" job and runs away from home.This trip has not been back for many years, until his father died of illness, he hurried back after receiving a call.Then, for various reasons, he finally chose to obey his father's behest and inherit the family's tailor shop.

To put it simply, the first half is the setting of a classic literary film, but the second half adds commercial elements.It seems that all aspects have been considered, but in fact it is inevitable that it seems to be pleasing to both sides, but neither is reliable.

At least An knew that he was not optimistic.

Regarding her statement, Ye Xingyuan could only touch his nose helplessly, and said, "Actually, I know this problem myself. If I just want to make money, of course I can just buy a notebook and shoot it. But I still have a Wen Qingmeng in my heart." , I’m always reluctant to change the notebook. What you see now has been revised by me. Anyway, I don’t intend to make a profit from it, so I just treat it as a dream come true for myself.”

He laughed as he said, "After all, it is the first step of transformation. Even if the grades are not good, it is understandable after thinking about it. I will probably not be so willful in the future."

An Zhixiao twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling even more unreliable.

She thought about it for a while, and she didn't remember seeing the news of the movie's release in her previous life at all.Maybe something went wrong in the middle of filming, and the crew disbanded in the end!

But when she thought about the unpleasant crew before, she was not so sure.Since everything in the present will not be carried out according to the previous life, then the previous experience is not enough for reference.In the end, she could only admit that her vision was not very good, and left the decision to Shen Yanru.

"Since it's a dream come true, why did you add these latter things?" Shen Yanru asked.

Ye Xingyuan smiled wryly, "Although I have saved a little money over the years, you also know that I can't invest alone. A friend introduced an investor before, and this part of the content is what he meant."

In fact, in the industry, a film often has several investors.It's certainly not that they can't come up with the money to make a movie.This is done not only for the purpose of spreading risks and sharing the burden, but also for the consideration of resources and connections.After all, investors have invested money, so they are naturally concerned about whether the film can make money, and they usually have all hands and eyes, so it will be more convenient whether it is submitting for review, publicizing, or arranging films at theaters.

No matter how good a movie is, it is futile if it cannot be sold. If there is no box office, then there is nothing.

"For flattering people?" Shen Yanru asked immediately.

The plot added in the later stage seemed blunt, let alone, the most important thing is to add a heroine to this purely male protagonist.

——When the hero was working in a big city, he was also exposed to clothing-related jobs, and that's when he met the heroine.So after she decided to go home and inherit the family business, the heroine chased her to the small town. Finally, with her unremitting efforts and help, the hero decided to develop his own tailor shop and make it a fashion show in the four major fashion weeks. international brands.

Of course, in this process, emotional entanglements and various ambiguities between handsome men and beautiful women are also indispensable.

Hearing Shen Yanru's question, Ye Xingyuan himself seemed to feel that the plot was too ridiculous, his ears were half red, and he said uncomfortably, "Cough... yes."

This situation is actually very normal. It is better for an actor to bring money into the group than not get any investment.What's more, the actress that the other party wants to praise also has a certain popularity. It's not too much to look good and have a good figure. Ye Xingyuan can't refuse.It's just that I was talking about dreams just now, but now it's reflected in reality. Even if Yingdi Ye has passed his acting skills, he also feels a little embarrassed.

He thought for a while, and added Wuyin here, "However, during the shooting process, some content will definitely be modified, and it may not be like this when it is shot."

Shen Yanru thought for a while, and said, "In business, if it's such a movie, I'm sorry, we might not be able to participate."

Hearing these words, Ye Xingyuan looked calm and nodded.

Shen Yanru said again, "But as a friend, let me give you a piece of advice. If you are willing to cut off the dog's tail at the back and replace it with the original one, maybe you can't expect too much in terms of box office, but maybe you can win the prize." There's a little hope."

After a pause, she said again, "I think you also hope that your dreams can bloom without regrets, instead of having a nondescript dog's tail?"

In fact, the suggestion she gave was really sincere.Ye Xingyuan is probably too persistent, so he always thinks of perfection, taking into account all aspects, but taking care of all aspects also means being mediocre in all aspects.Instead, give it a go.If the goal is to win awards, then there is no need to worry about publicity, filming and box office.

But Shen Yanru is Shen Yanru, except for An Zhizhi, she will not influence anyone's choice.So in the end she said, "Of course, this is just my family's opinion, you can think about it for yourself. If you have confidence in yourself, then you can talk to me again."

"Honestly," Ye Xingyuan laughed, crossing his fingers on his knees, "I believe in your vision." He glanced at An Zhizhi, "And I actually don't think I can do it at all. What kind of dreams come true in an unideal environment. It’s just that reality has no choice but to compromise. But I just heard you say that, and I suddenly had a new idea.”

"what?"

"Is your studio interested in investing in films?"

Why?An Zhixiao looked at Ye Xingyuan in surprise, this person's mind was spinning really fast.But if the studio invests in this movie, in fact, Shen Yanru can solve all the problems that Ye Xingyuan was worried about.

"I know that you have a lot of contacts in the industry. If there is interest, the contract can be renegotiated." Ye Xingyuan said.This was inferred from what An knew last time.

After all, there are many celebrities who are right and wrong. When one thing is exposed, no matter who is right or wrong, celebrities are always at a disadvantage. After all, public figures cannot be unscrupulous.It is precisely because of this that many times he has to compromise, even if Ye Xingyuan himself is the film king, it is the same.But Shen Yanru was able to make the crew take the initiative to apologize, and calm the matter down without any smoke from the beginning to the end. This is not something that can be done with ability, it needs talent.

"It's rare to take advantage, how can you not agree?" Shen Yanru stretched out her hand to him, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

So An Zhizhi's new job was decided.

Because they are investors, they will participate in the film from beginning to end.Of course, An Zhizhi is mainly responsible for the music part.The funds were in place, and the crew was all in place, so soon after, the movie "Son Inherits Father's Business" started in a low-key manner.

An Zhixiao once watched a talk show, and a friend in Ye Xingyuan’s circle broke the news that he did not recognize his relatives when he was filming. At that time, he still found it a bit unbelievable, because Ye Xingyuan’s personality, no matter in terms of personality or appearance, should be a warm man. The type is right.However, working with him during this period of time allowed An Zhixiao to get to know this person again.

His attitude at work can no longer be said to be serious and responsible, but basically desperate.Because he is both a director and an actor, he is naturally much busier than others, and he is often seen running around the field alone.Sometimes for a shot, I can think about it all afternoon, and even after thinking about it, I overthrow the previous shooting part and start over.

As Shen Yanru said, this drama is the one most favored by the judges.

In terms of content, it can reflect the changes of a generation.In the past, people were short of materials and lived mainly on self-sufficiency. Clothes were usually made by themselves from the fabric.But after all, everyone is not skillful, so there is room for tailors to survive.Nowadays, ready-to-wear is convenient and fast, and various brands are flooding the clothing market. The tailoring industry is doomed to decline, and where is their way out?

From the emotional part, this is the condensation of a person's life.When he was a teenager, the male protagonist actually liked to learn from his father. Watching a piece of clothing being made by skillful hands is like magic, and the sense of accomplishment is self-evident.But when I grew up, I was influenced by various thoughts, and I began to think that this kind of occupation was "shameful", and "women" developed a rebellious heart, so they escaped from the house.But when he entered the big city, he realized that these things became the key and trick to his success, and finally he chose to inherit his father's business after his father passed away.

It is precisely because of this that there are a lot of inner dramas in this drama, which all depend on the comprehension of the actors, and Ye Xingyuan doesn't even have a director to guide him, so he can only explore by himself.

But precisely because of the meticulous craftsmanship, what comes out is a fine product.

Fortunately, because there are few actors, there are not many places that need to be filmed. After Ye Xingyuan got into the mood, he accelerated the progress, so the final shooting time was not too long. Count the days, and catch up when editing. This year's Golden Coconut Awards.

Ye Xingyuan originally only planned to participate in the selection of the domestic Golden Film Awards, but when he heard Shen Yanru said that he would participate in the Golden Coconut Awards, he couldn't help being shocked.This is one of the three major international awards. I don’t know how many excellent films from all over the world participate in the competition every year!

"I'm talking about the director's fortnightly unit. They don't use popular criteria to select shortlisted films, and stick to their own tastes. As long as they can be shortlisted, it is also a good guide for the domestic Golden Film Awards." Shen Yanru said, besides, " Even if it doesn't do much for the popularity of the film, it's important for the director."

The films participating in this unit are usually new directors.Many later famous directors have won honors here.

Ye Xingyuan was so excited that he finally decided to participate.The result was really what Shen Yanru said, and finally this movie became one of the ten movies.Although it failed to win the prize in the end, the news is out, and the country is already optimistic.

And next, is the highlight of the Golden Movie Awards.
