""Sweet Life"." Ye Wei made another ruthless move. The strategy was very simple. He finished the familiar classic first.
""The Spring and Autumn Festival"." Darum didn't need to think about it, this was Fellini's directorial debut.
Ye Wei immediately continued: "The Libertine." Fellini's internationally famous work.
Under Anna's nervous eyes and everyone's happy smiles, one movie after another was told. After eight rounds, the expressions of the college students changed a little, and Anna became more and more motivated, and her face was almost raised to the sky. go!
No one in Darum or the others thought that Ye Wei could hold on for so long, and that he would say it without thinking every time. Darum gradually became a little unable to hold back, and a layer of cold sweat quietly formed on his back. Finally, he arrived. Part 18, he can't tell
That kid¡¯s unchanging smile was actually putting tremendous pressure on him. He was the one who wanted to be embarrassed! ? Darum couldn't help but look at his companions
"Aren't you?", "Please!" There was a helpless and anxious cry from everyone around. The opponent was just a middle school student!
When Darum saw this, he cursed in his heart, "You guys are awesome, so tell me!" What the hell else did Fellini make!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of nowhere, so they were left one-on-one. But now it¡¯s hard to help, and they can¡¯t remember. Suddenly hearing Ye Wei counting down from ten, everyone became even more anxious. Maybe it was the power of love. Parela thought of it and said anxiously: ""I Remember"!"
"Cool, you really remember, then, "City of Women", this one is great." Ye Wei responded quickly again, making them feel desperate.
The twentieth film will be coming next. Everyone has stopped laughing. They all frowned and thought. Darum took off his baseball cap and scratched his head. After all, Fellini is Italian. To them, he is naturally not as good as Hollywood 80 The four major directors and other masters of the era are familiar
And there are twenty of them! Fellini has made about twenty movies, right? Is there really any more? ?
"Are you done?" Darum took a deep breath. Looking at this Asian boy now, the feeling of weirdness turned into a feeling of terror. Could it be some kind of T-800?
"You think it's over?" Ye Wei glanced at everyone. Not to mention that he had prepared a lot last night. Even if he was not prepared, he could win this game. His opponent was too weak.
When the countdown ended, everyone was silent. Anna held her breath and prepared a prelude to cheers. Ye Wei glared and said: "So, I won the first game. Guys, how could you forget "Urban Love"! For God's sake For the sake of so many great masters, how could you forget them!¡±
"Oh SHOOOT!" When they heard this title, everyone went crazy, jumping to their feet, holding their heads, and shaking their hands, "Urban Love"! Hell, yeah, how could I forget this, Jesus!
"Haha! We won, we won!" Anna cheered. Although she couldn't understand, she knew, "We won! College students, how are you doing now?!"
"I'm sorry for embarrassing you in front of your girlfriend." Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders and sent the sentence back to Darusi exactly, with only one little difference.
"Love in the City" (1953) is a collection of short films by directors, including Fellini, Antonioni, Zavattini and others, many of whom were later revered as masters. College students may not have seen it before, but this time they fell into the trap of thinking. They kept thinking about Fellini's feature films, but forgot about the collection he participated in.
They did lose the first game The five Darums had ugly faces, because it was a best-of-three game. If they lost another game, they wouldn't know how it would end.
If this guy is a student at the college, he must be in the criticism department. He pulls out movies and writes reviews every day, and then gets into trouble with them!
??Shame, shame! Although the other onlookers did not participate in the war, they felt embarrassed for these students. If people at UCLA knew about this, maybe it would be adapted into a comedy short film, right? The film is called "Nineteen and a Half Parts"? Or is it called "Kids Playing at USC"?
There were many thoughts swirling in everyone's mind. It was frustrating and annoying. Now no one dared to take advantage of the situation. Darum said in a deep voice: "For the second round's movie actor, I choose Spielberg."
"Spielberg? Guys, do you want to wait till tomorrow?"
Ye Wei suddenly laughed, and his mind was spinning. Who is not familiar with a living American film master like Spielberg here? The other party has a large number of people, and he will have no advantage unless He said: "OK, Si Pierberg, OK, I choose to be an actor, haha!¡±
actor! ? Everyone was stunned. Are you kidding? Spielberg directed, produced, you name it, acted? That old guy is not an actor!
"Man, this" Darum found it difficult to respond.
"What? Aren't I also talking about his acting work?"
"They are really scared" Anna whispered loudly to Ye Wei again, and she was very excited. Wei was far more powerful than she thought before!
Being looked at by everyone, Darum felt a little embarrassed and suddenly gave up: "An actor is an actor! I'll go first, "Austin Powers 3"!"
This is last year¡¯s film, a classic spoof commercial film with a large number of celebrity guest appearances, including Spielberg himself, which is impressive.
"Very good." Ye Wei was not in a hurry, he had already thought of several movies, and responded: "How about "The Blues Brothers"? Does anyone have any impressions? That government office employee, 'How can I help you?'"
Damn it! Everyone looked at each other, some of them knew, some didn't, and after breathing it, they all knew that this was not nonsenseeven the lines were spoken
"Great!" Anna raised her little fist.
"I really like "Blues Brothers" and "Blues Brothers 2000"." Ye Wei thought of something funny and burst into laughter: "No one thinks that is a movie from 2000, right?"
"If it was just embarrassing before, now it is simply being humiliated. Darum's face turned green, and Peter and Parela were also very embarrassed. The other party was a middle school student!
It was their turn to speak again. The five people exchanged opinions, almost asking the onlookers, and finally came up with a relatively certain answer: "Jurassic Park 2."
"Typical Hollywood, sequels are very safe, but the audience is a little annoyed." Ye Wei joked, that was correct, so he continued: ""The Last Shot", he wrote, directed and starred in it when he was 11 years old. 9-minute short film, even younger than I am now, I can only say, I admire it.¡±
Oh God, why didn¡¯t you say this first? Everyone almost fainted, Darum was very flustered, because they really couldn't think of anything, and they had already lost a round!
"I remember he had a cameo in one of the Raiders of the Lost Ark." Parela thought hard, which one of the three "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is the one?
Hurley King asked suspiciously: "'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'?" Peter hurriedly said: "I have no impression, what about you?" Darum frowned so much that his eyes almost fell out, and finally thought of a vague idea. Memory, shook his head and said: "No, it's "Indiana Jones and the Temple"!"
"Wow, you guys are quite tenacious." Ye Wei clicked his tongue and thought about it this time. Just when the college students were secretly happy that he was done, he suddenly said: "I thought of it, "Jaws." He has a voice in it, it¡¯s your turn.¡±
Powerless! Everyone was completely powerless. They were at their limit just now. Now they could no longer imagine that they were all speechless when they looked at me and me
"Is it all over?" someone asked. This was their only hope left.
"There are more."
However, this ruthless sentence made their hearts drop to the bottom, "Are you kidding me?", "How is it possible?", "Why is Spielberg so unprofessional!"
"What?" Darum's voice sounded like a dying old man.
Anna opened her eyes nervously, and saw Ye Wei looking in disbelief, spreading his hands and exclaiming: "I can't believe it, how could you forget Spielberg's amazing performance in "Vanilla Sky"! That party !¡±
"Oh SHOOOT!!!" Everyone yelled again, like accidentally tearing up a jackpot lottery ticket, that party! That guest!
"This is impossible!" Darum held his head like crazy, spinning on the spot; Peter had to put the camera on the grass, breathing heavily; the other three were also crazy, it's over, the game is over, weird of middle school students won
"It seems that this poster is still mine." Ye Wei rolled up the poster and put it back in his backpack, looked at Anna who was shouting excitedly next to him, and at the dumb college students, and then laughed crazily: "Hahaha, Sullivan¡¯s trip, hahahaha!¡±
He took two steps forward, approached the microphone held by Fulin, and said seriously: "I want to thank my parents, my sister, my friends I am so happy! Wow!"
"I'm so happy too!" Anna jumped over happily, stretched out her hand and gave Ye Wei a high five, frowning in pain, and said with a smile: "Yeah!!"
"Oh!", "I don't know what you did, it's so embarrassing, let's go." The onlookers threw away a few words and left quickly to avoid being burned by the fire. That kid was a humanoid IMDb, crazy person Just playing with his name and name.
Darum and others also want to leave, but they can¡¯t leave yet What bet did they just agree to?Coming?
"Hahaha." Ye Wei smiled enough and curled his lips at them: "Brothers, are you going to regret it, or what?"
The five of them sighed one after another, breaking their promise to a middle school student?
"I don't know how they are." Darum broke off a few hairs and gritted his teeth: "I will admit defeat. I will join in three days."
"I'll join in, too." Peter nodded helplessly. Parela also said: "Me too." Hurley King hesitated but nodded: "Join." Fulin pointed the microphone at his mouth: "Count me in."
"Cool." Ye Wei smiled and winked at Anna, as if to say, "See, everything is according to my plan." He then said to the five people: "But I don't necessarily want you, because what I need is talent. Outstanding guys, you have to be outstanding.¡±
Damn it! The five of them almost exploded. Who did he think he was, Spielberg or Fellini? Darum said angrily: "Then what do you want?"
"Aren't you going to do your short film homework? Go ahead, I will follow you to inspect, but where is your trolley?" Ye Wei looked around curiously, isn't it tiring carrying the equipment?
"We're just going to the stadium to shoot a few shots." The five of them are almost used to the fact that Ye Wei is familiar with the operation of the academy, and the cart also knows it.
At the moment, Durum's team continued the planned filming operation and went to the Howard Jones Stadium across the street. They first shot a "Walk-and-Talk" shot, and then shot a few ordinary conversation shots. The starring roles are actually Darum and Parela, and the response from the commentary department is not difficult to understand.
Ye Wei and Anna watched the whole process. Scores don't mean everything. Eyes can see more. He felt deeply about this.
Although the two people's performances were average, "walking and talking" is a test of scene planning and team coordination. They did a pretty good job, with above-average on-set filming skills, keeping promises, good conversationalism, and a balanced ethnic group. If there is one Better leaders should be able to display higher talents.
So, after watching for an hour, Ye Wei made a decision, it was just them!
Cinematographer: Pete Jean; Lighting Engineer: Hurley King; Sound Engineer and Microphone Operator: Flynn Gardner; Production Designer: Parela Bennilli; First Assistant of Photography and First Assistant Director: Da Lum Jenkins.
We still need a recorder, a stylist, and preferably a prop master.
"I need a few more guys. Do you have any friends to recommend?" Ye Wei asked them.
"Yes, of course there ishehe" Darum and the others all had a bad idea to pull more people into the water!
So they actively called and contacted three classmates, Job Chasak, who has a family background as a prop master; two beauties, Amy Kate who is good at art modeling, and Susan Cane, who is very good at taking notes. Well, good field notes are usually girls, and Susan is an expert at it. All the subtle things cannot escape her eyes.
Before the three people arrived, they didn't know what was going on. After learning about it, they started laughing and didn't believe in evil. They teamed up and played another game with Ye Wei. They won two out of three games, Coppola's director's work and Monroe's actor's work. , and as a result just joined the crew.
This really made the five Darums feel bad. Those who laughed at them before should come and take a look. It¡¯s not that they are incompetent, it¡¯s that this kid is too strong! In this regard.
The script of the short film was also well written. They have all seen it. It seems to be a work to make Anna happy. It is really a brat. Who knows.
Ye Wei knows that these college students are still somewhat reluctant, and his abilities have not yet been truly recognized by them, but he believes that it will be different soon.
Indeed, the eight arhats were soon startled again. As for the equipment and actors of the crew, Ye Wei once again put his mind on Southern California!
The equipment center of the University of Southern California uses a "Production-Number" system. The center first registers all courses. There are strict regulations on how much equipment and what equipment should be used at what time for each course. Each student in each course will have a work number. Students can use this to borrow equipment. How to borrow equipment depends on the regulations.
When picking up the equipment, the staff of the center will put the equipment on a small cart and affix the work number form, and the borrower can push the entire cart away.
There are two types of equipment, most of which can only be borrowed for a week; one is for one semester, mostly for seniors who want to shoot their graduation works.
Darum and other juniors are naturally the former. They will reserve the equipment 24 hours in advance on Wednesday, the 10th of next month, and pick it up on the afternoon of Thursday, the 11th. It will be put to use on the weekend of 12-14th, and then Return before noon on the 16th. "Angel Dance" has been completed.Shoot. In full compliance with the regulations and without anyone noticing, the equipment was used once by a middle school student.
"If you like it, you can take pictures of your own works on the 15th." Ye Wei said.
Combining the coursework of the Eight Arhats, he can lend out all the equipment he needs. All he needs to lend out are memory cards and homemade equipment depending on the situation on the set. This will save you money on equipment rental fees.
This is a feasible plan, as long as the equipment is not damaged, because the crew members are themselves, Darum and others agreed It was because Ye Wei knew the basics that they could not refuse.
The equipment is ready, as well as the actors: Anna¡¯s father, Anna¡¯s mother, Mrs. Mary, the truck driver, 8-10 neighbors as extras, 5-8 medical staff as extras, and hundreds of theater audiences as extras.
The most important thing here is Anna's parents. Their image and temperament can be like David and Janet, but they need to be good at acting. There are only a few scenes of Mrs. Mary and the truck driver. They are a warm-hearted and rich middle-aged woman. At first glance, they look like a smoker and a drinker. A middle-aged man who speaks foul language; extras are easy to find, and members of the Dream Chaser Alliance can appear if they are interested.
Anna¡¯s parents came over at noon, which allowed Ye Wei to clearly express his casting intentions to everyone. After lunch, he continued working in the afternoon.
With Darum taking him along, Ye Wei went to the college building, used the computer to log into the actor database, and checked the actor's information for a long time. Five candidates were finalized for each of the four roles, all of which were semi-professional and amateur actors. Acting skill B means trusting the director, and acting skill A means not trusting the director. The former will often perform better.
To make specific contacts and arrange the first round of interviews, Ye Wei handed over these matters to Darum and Parela. After the first round of interviews, three actors for each role entered the second round of interviews, and he selected one leading actor and two Substitute. As for the neighbor extras, Darum and the two took care of them all.
These things need to be done within a week, including signing a zero-pay acting contract, etc. Then on the night of the 11th, the day before filming starts, the entire crew will have a buffet dinner to get acquainted with each other and prepare for the next three days of filming. .
As for the venues, he also decided to use real scenes, including Anna¡¯s home (his own home), Anna¡¯s community (Brentwood), hospital (corridor outside the disguised dental clinic), theater (Saperstein at Harvard-Westlake Junior High School) Theater), he asked the old principal. It was shot on Sunday, completed within three hours, and supervised by the teachers. It was no problem.
The crew is there, the equipment is there, and the actors will soon have it too; for the post-production special effects, Darum and the others will be asked to help contact friends who specialize in "Animation and Digital Art" for help, and he will do the editing himself. And the soundtrack, hit the credits, and then Fulin did the final mixing, and it¡¯s done!
The blueprint has been drawn, it just depends on how it will be implemented.
At around 5 p.m., Ye Wei and Anna got into Anna¡¯s parents¡¯ car and left USC.
Anna was very satisfied with her first date. She said, "Today will be a young and sweet memory for my whole life." She asked Ye Wei several times: "When will we go on a second date?"
Ye Weizhen was a little afraid of her, and even more afraid of any misunderstanding between David and Janet. Fortunately, they just laughed after hearing this, they are enlightened parents
But he had a real date in the evening and received a call from Lily in the afternoon. She came back from England and bought him a gift.
