Chapter 72 The Richest TomatoIn the crew of "The Blade of the Assassin", Yang Hao is the youngest, a typical post-90s. Among the other main actors, the youngest Li Dongxue was born in 82, which is ten years older than Yang Hao. The age difference of ten years, to exaggerate a little, can make him look like Yang Hao's uncle. Perhaps it was because of his seniority that, with so many eyes on the crew, no one had the nerve to get close to Yang Hao for a while. "Click", after a scene was successfully completed, Lu Yang saw Yang Hao sitting on a small stool writing and drawing. He had also heard about this junior's brilliant achievements in screenwriting. He was also very curious about the script that Yang Hao was writing. The most important point is that he is a director, not an actor, so there is no possibility of him being accused of begging for roles. So Lu Yang, who was full of curiosity, told the assistant director beside him to arrange the preparations for the next scene, and then walked behind Yang Hao, looked in, wanting to see what kind of script Yang Hao was writing. Upon seeing this, Lu Yang was surprised to find that Yang Hao was creating a storyboard script. Generally speaking, the screenwriter creates the script first, and after the director gets the script, he slowly polishes and creates the storyboard script.
The storyboard script is the director's job. Yang Hao is now creating a storyboard script. Could it be that his junior wants to... "Yang Hao, are you planning to be a director yourself?" Lu Yang patted Yang Hao on the shoulder and said. Yang Hao was immersed in the storyboard creation and didn't notice there was someone behind him. When he was tapped on the shoulder, he realized that Lu Yang was standing behind him. So he turned around and glanced at Lu Yang, and said lightly: "Yes, I have some little ideas in my mind, so I plan to shoot them myself." Hearing Yang Hao talk about filming so lightly, Lu Yang felt uncomfortable. He had spent more than two years writing the script for "The Blade of the Assassin" and begged for help from everyone. In the end, it was Yang Hao who provided the funding and the film was approved. "Junior, I remember you studied acting at Beijing Film Academy, right? You also studied directing as a sideline?" Film making is an art. Afraid that Yang Hao’s money would be wasted, Lu Yang prepared to persuade him. Seeing Lu Yang's facial expression, Yang Hao guessed that if he answered that he had never studied directing in school, the other party would definitely persuade him not to waste his money. So I could only say vaguely: "I bought textbooks and taught myself, and often went to the directing department to attend classes." Yang Hao has MAX directing skills, but it’s hard to say where he got them from, so we can only change the subject. "Brother, what do you think of my storyboard?" Hearing what Yang Hao said, Lu Yang lowered his head and carefully looked at the page of storyboards that Yang Hao was creating. After dozens of seconds, Lu Yang finally spoke: "You drew this storyboard sketch really well!" The director's MAX skills include creating storyboard scripts, and Yang Hao's painting skills have also been improved to the entry level. Although his entry-level painting skills are not as good as those of professional painters, he should be considered a leader in the field of directing. Maybe it's not as good as Xu Ke's comic-like storyboards, but it's much better than Director Jiang's stickman-style storyboards. Jiang Wen's storyboards of the stickmen are so vivid that no one except himself can appreciate the artistic conception. Xu Ke's storyboards are very artistic, just like reading a comic book, very immersive. (The first picture below was drawn by Jiang Wen, and the second one was drawn by Xu Ke) "Yang Hao, this is your storyboard, where is your script?" Seeing such a well-made storyboard drawn by Yang Hao, Lu Yang became even more curious about the script created by Yang Hao. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yang Hao pull out several bound A4 papers from under the storyboard script.
Lu Yang took the script handed over by Yang Hao, and the first thing he saw was the name of the script - "The Richest Tomato". The script wasn't long, only about 40,000 to 50,000 words, and it took me five or six minutes to get a rough read of it. After reading it, Lu Yang put down the script in his hand with a complicated expression: "How long did it take you to write this script?" This script is currently the most popular comedy in the market. After reading this script, Lu Yang always inexplicably thought of the recently popular "Charlotte's Troubles". It seems that the two scripts have a similar style in terms of comedy. “It took me a few days to write this script.” Hearing Yang Hao's answer, Lu Yang almost choked to death. How many days did it take to write such an excellent script? Is this something a human being can say? But after thinking about it, it made sense. Yang Hao had just started writing the script for the crew in the past few days. After figuring this out, Lu Yang once again re-recognized his junior brother. He was truly an enchanter. Lu Yang asked unhappily: "Junior brother, are you planning to invest in this script yourself?" "right" After hearing Yang Hao's brief and arrogant words, Lu Yang was completely speechless. Comparing people to each other is really infuriating. Why is it so difficult for a professional director like me to make a movie? On the other hand, he studies acting and can make a movie anytime he wants. "Junior brother, making a movie is not that easy. Although your script is good, you need to..." Lu Yang stopped talking halfway, feeling that he couldn't persuade the other party. He paused, sighed, and continued. "Well, if you really want to shoot it, it's not impossible. I think the storyboards you drew are quite good, and you should have a clear picture of the finished film in your mind. Then you can find a few assistant directors to help you, and you can control the final effect from behind. Maybe the movie you shoot will be quite good this way." Yang Hao was amused when he heard what Lu Yang said. Was he treating himself like Guo Xiaosi? Even tying a dog to the fight would be fine? Just sit in the director's seat and shout "Cut"? Speaking of which, Guo Xiaosi's "Tiny Times" is supposed to be released next month, and Da Mimi is the lead actress. It seems that Da Mimi is about to become famous again with Guo Xiaosi. Although "Tiny Times" has a very bad reputation, it is undeniable that it really made a lot of money. Just as Yang Hao was absorbed in thinking about "Tiny Times", Lu Yang saw that Yang Hao had been silent for a long time and thought that Yang Hao was worried that the movie would fail. So he comforted Yang Hao: "Don't worry too much. In recent years, more and more actors have switched to become directors, and they are all very successful. Xu Zheng's "Lost in Thailand" and Zhao Yanzi's "So Young" were both successful. Maybe your "The Richest Tomato" will have a higher box office than theirs." "How much did you invest in "The Richest Tomato"?" Lu Yang continued to ask. "Eighty million," Yang Hao said casually, making the number eight with his hand. "Fuck, how did you budget 80 million for this movie?" Lu Yang couldn't help but swear when he heard Yang Hao say it would cost 80 million. He had just taken a quick look at the script of "The Richest Tomato". It was not a special effects blockbuster, and if it didn't hire big-name actors, it would only cost 20 or 30 million at most. He couldn't figure out how the budget for this movie was set, and the production cost would be as high as 80 million. Seeing Lu Yang so surprised, Yang Hao wondered if he would be shocked if he knew that the production cost of this movie was as high as 2018e in . (End of this chapter)
