"Mom, Duoduo, I'm back!"

When Ye Wei returned to Brentwood's home, it was only less than 10 o'clock in the morning, and the thrilling morning was not far away.

The excitement and joy were also there. He smiled brightly, hummed a song, and walked to the dining room of the room. He saw his mother sitting at the dining table, with a laptop computer and a lot of documents on the table. She looked up and then went back, "Why did she come back so early... Is the date still pleasant..."

"Very good." Ye Wei's smile diminished slightly. He walked to the freezer and took out a bottle of iced water, took a sip, and said, "In fact, it's super great. You don't know what I did. I admire myself a little! Where is Duoduo?"

Gu Qiao didn't care about her son's bragging habits, and continued to stare at the documents, writing and scratching the pencil in her hand, "Duoduo and Toto are playing in the back garden."

When he walked to the dining table, Ye Wei picked up a translated document and looked at it. The translation was very detailed. He shrugged: "Mom, there is no need to add so many notes. It's thankless. Just translate the main meaning." He appreciated this seriousness, but did not want his mother to work so hard.

"Let it go back!" Gu Qiao scolded his son lightly, "Don't worry about these things, go out and play, what are you doing at home on Sunday."

"Didn't you just come back after playing? Forget it, I'll go and see Duoduo."

Walking out of the small door of the dining room, Ye Wei arrived at the back garden. Because there was no swimming pool or other dangerous things, and the distance was less than ten steps, Duoduo could be heard, so my mother was relieved to let her play outside alone, and there was Toto taking care of her.

The back garden is full of flowers, plants and trees, children's sand pools, swing chairs, bird houses and bird houses... and a small vegetable garden with fruits and melons, which my mother takes care of.

There is a small football gantry in the distance. He usually relies on it to practice the ball, but he has played less in the past half month.

"Hey, man, how are you doing lately?"

Before Ye Wei could go down the steps, he saw a Sukada tortoise the size of a dish slowly crawling over below. A part of the family, Benji, who is used to being forgotten by others. This is the name of the dog protagonist in "The Heart of the Jungle". Benji should have been a Luofu terrier, but there was no way. My mother disagreed with raising another dog, which led to Toto not having a boyfriend.

Benji seemed uninterested in paying attention to him and continued to crawl away, it was always like this.

He ignored it and walked towards Duoduo and Toto who were playing with sand in the small sand pool, laughing and shouting: "Little Sweet Bean, see what this is?"

"Brother!" Duoduo immediately abandoned the sand castle when he saw him and ran over happily. When he saw him take out a pack of M&M’s chocolate from his pocket, he shouted excitedly: "Wow! Chocolate!!"

Toto was also running, his nose sniffing and his little tail shaking.

"For you." Ye Wei handed it to her, just bought it from the street, and joked: "Don't let dad know."

As children of dentists, although they are not as exaggerated as the novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", they are not much better than Willy Wonka. They have to remember to eat less candy and take care of every tooth since childhood. There are losses and gains. His teeth are so white, neat and beautiful now that everyone wants to kiss them after reading them. I really want to thank my father for his medical skills.

"I know." Duoduo nodded, smiling sweetly with his little face, immediately tear open the packaging, pouring chocolate beans into his palm, "Brother, give it to you; Toto, this is yours."

After everyone ate it, she started eating it herself.

"I'm so good, but don't give Toto too much, just a few pills are fine, otherwise it will meet the doctor." Ye Wei smiled in Chinese, his heart full of warmth, and he caressed her head. This little angel knew how to think about others.

For you, for you, no matter how hard my brother works, how humble he is, lying, flattering, and walking on thin ice... it is all worth it! For our happiness and for a better future, he threw a few chocolate beans into his mouth, chewed it, and sweetened it to the bottom of his heart.

"What are you just playing?" Ye Wei continued to speak in Chinese and cultivate Duoduo's Chinese speaking skills.

"I'm building a castle, and there's a Princess living in it!" Duoduo ran back to the sand pool, and Toto was following, "Brother, are you here to play?"

"A Princess? Haha, is the frog princess? No, I see you playing. When the princess saw me, she refused to live in the castle and wanted to go with me."

"Why?"

"Because your brother is so handsome."

Ye Wei sat on the wooden steps, smiling, looking at the little angel and Toto playing, thinking about things.

There is an important goal now, which is to shoot a short film! This matter must be taken immediately. It is best if Willis will shoot it before replying. If the other party intends to discuss in detail, he can bring the short film with him.

He expected that the reply would be about ten days after the Thanksgiving holiday, and it would be as fast as one or two months later. He even forgot about this, and it was possible that he was a movie superstar.

Just seize the time to do your own thing.

The purpose of this short film is to show his talent, talents and skills in filming, so everything has to be done around this core.

He had several choices. One was to edit the three-minute public service advertisement he had written, directed and directed before, but that was only at the level of a middle school student. It was enough to participate in the school film festival, but it was impossible to impress the big figures. Even if it was remake, there would be no surprises in the story.

It was a short story composed of five scenes without dialogue: a young couple quarreled, the heroine did not answer the hero's phone number, the hero was very distressed, but because he picked up a can on the street and put it in the trash can, it turned out to be a street test show. He was on the photogenic, apologized to the heroine, and was forgiven. The two hugged each other on the street, and ended.

In this short film, Ye Wei also plays the male lead, Lev dressed in women's clothing, the program crew is Chen Nuo, Bard, Li Ming and others, and Colwin is the DV photographer behind the scenes, all of whom are their own people.

A month ago, Ye Wei was proud of this story and those DV images, and promised to kick John Williams and others' but it's not possible now.

The second choice is to film a few minutes of the script "The Little Beauty of Sunshine" which is not appropriate. This is a method to convince investors, not actors, because actors rarely like to watch others play roles they want to join, especially celebrities. They even criticize the screenwriter for writing a few more expressions and actions before the character dialogue, which interferes with the actor's creation.

The third option is to rewrite a suitable short script.

"Well, that's it." Ye Wei nodded as he thought, and he still took charge of the screenwriter, director, producer, editing, soundtrack, and the actors depend on the situation first.

Maybe he also needs to do photography. Anyway, he has to do everything he can, and then all the creative materials must be done well. You cannot be lazy and not draw a storyboard or something just because you know your intentions. These materials must be shown to others in the future to show his seriousness and professionalism.

In addition, when filming, you have to use DV to record enough films, which is also a kind of information to let the big shots see how he directed it, and to confirm that the short film is indeed his work.

First of all, you need to create a short script. If the length of the film is too fast, it is not good. For example, 20 minutes or 35 minutes, the big guys don’t have that much time to give him; it is not good if it is short, like 3 minutes or 5 minutes, it’s done in a blink of an eye. It’s not enough for him to show off his skills, so 7-10 minutes is a suitable range.

Once the film is long, what kind of story should I write?

"Um..." Ye Wei thought and looked at the blue sky. The white clouds were floating, and there was no trace of UFO...Science fiction? Suspense?

These are the two most likely types of excellence in short films, and they win largely by stunning creativity.

Wait, it's not right! He shook his head and pulled back the train of Imagination that was about to leave. The ability he wanted to show was not smart creativity or tricks, but real basic filmmaking skills and all kinds of talents!

Moreover, if the short film wants others to have confidence in his production and directing "The Little Sunshine Beauty", it requires the same type and temperament, family, warmth, courage and inspiration.

It is best to be sensational, touching, and old-fashioned, because now, the stories that humans can think of are old-fashioned and primitive. For example, "Star Wars" is just the Oedipus-style paternal murder complex of knights saving the princess and "I am your father"; "The Lord of the Rings"? Plato's "The Ideal Country" describes the shepherd Juggs accidentally obtained a Lord of the Rings with invisibility, so he sneaked into the palace and seduced the queen to work together to kill the king and become the new monarch.

No one can be completely original and innovative. It can be said that everyone who makes up stories stands on the shoulders of giants. The key is to redefine and package those original stories, put new elements into new combinations, and then a new story is created. In terms of terminology, this is called "Bisociation".

So it doesn't matter if you are old-fashioned. Old-fashioned represents the most primitive emotional desire of mankind and is also the best way to sensation. For example, "Romeo and Juliet", "Titanic", and "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" in China, all classic love tragedies are the same: separation from life and death.

The most important thing is to touch the audience's heart when they watch it. Once emotions prevail, people are prone to making irrational decisions, such as believing that a 15-year-old boy can make good movies.

To be old-fashioned, there must be a little girl as the protagonist!

This is also a key point. "The Little Beauty of Sunshine" has a core character of a little girl, and the short film should also be available; and furthermore, children are one of the two most difficult species on the set. If the director is good, the director is more than enough to be more than capable of directors, which will enhance other people's confidence.

"By the way..." Ye Wei looked at Duoduo and Toto over there, and thought of another key point, and there was another dog!

Animals are the other one of the two most difficult species on the set. They are difficult to control and do not really know what is going on. The so-called performance depends entirely on camera design and timely capture, which is a test of the director's skills.

"Hahaha, perfect!" He couldn't help laughing. Children and dogs are the most difficult to deal with, but also the easiest to excel!

There is a saying in the performance industry: "When performing on the same stage with children and animals, be careful to be taught a lesson!" Many great actors have tried to be stolen by child stars and animals.

Because the performances of these two species have a natural appeal, the innocence, cuteness, honesty, and it is easy to touch people's hearts.

So their sensational effect is doubled. Think about "Lacey, the Spirit Dog" that goes home for thousands of miles, the "Story of the Hachima Dog" that waits for the owner to come home every day, or the "Zhongyuan Heart" that takes care of the mother of dogs, can make the audience cry and collapse.

Dogs are really tear-jerking magic weapons to win!

That's right, that's it, a sensational story starring a little girl and a dog.

"Duoduo, brother, go away first."

Ye Wei stood up and was about to go back to the room to write a script with paper and pen. After walking a few steps, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly turned up and a text message came. He took it out and saw that it was Lev: "Brother Wei, we are going to go to the Sweet Mimi Cafe, so many big-breasted beautiful college students! Are you really not coming?"

This was said last night. Ye Wei pressed his phone and replied: "I have something to do, so I really won't go. You guys have fun and you can't leave if you don't touch your chest!"

"As for orders, bless us!" Lev replied immediately.

At this time, Ye Weicai discovered that there was another unread text message, which was sent by Lily more than ten minutes ago. She was so obsessed with it just now that she didn't notice it.

"Have you been back home?" Lily asked.

Although it was a little late, Ye Wei still had to reply: "It has arrived. I'm intoxicated for a while. I really admire myself."

After more than ten seconds, before he could walk up the stairs, Lily replied: "Do you have time to come out to play in the afternoon?" His heart suddenly jumped. When he was talking on the phone, he felt that she had something to say but didn't say it. It turned out that she was going to take the initiative to date!

Did you reply to her, "Sorry, I want to write a script, I don't have time to pay attention to you?" It would be hard to say whether there will be a next date.

Fortunately, the script is not written in one day. The brain needs rest and the subconscious mind needs to be re-developed. He calculated the time he needed to finish the ten-minute draft and replied: "Is it OK after 16:00? Before that, I want to write a draft of a short script and plan to produce it."

In a short while, before he could enter the door, Lily replied: "OK, 16:00 is our routine. PS: Old place, you can't be late. PS2: Write the script and show it to me."

Old Place! Seeing this phrase, Ye Wei couldn't help but smile and replied: "Old Place, either go or be old stubborn (Be-There-or-Be-Square)."
Chapter completed!
