In the past two years, Xia Yu seems to have been busy with movies. In fact, she is. In the eyes of Zhuang Ling and others, she has been called a "Model Worker Plus", but Xia Yu's efforts are not only seen in the eyes of Zhuang Ling and others.
Even though she has a literary and artistic system, she still hasn’t stopped studying.
Especially for directing, a whole literary and artistic course has been completed.
The relevant skills and understanding are no worse than those of professional directors. Even because I have been exposed to formal shooting and am an actor and screenwriter, my understanding of this aspect will be three-fold and three-dimensional.
In addition, Xia Yu had watched the original movie, so she seemed to be able to edit "Twilight 1" with ease - in the end, the gold medal editor sent from Mindeli Pictures came to the bankrupt sisters and could hardly get involved.
I can only sit on the bench...
This is a strength that Xia Yu rarely exposes in front of others. The main reason is that she is no longer satisfied with the splendor of the original movie and tries to add more splendor based on the original movie - and the final editing effect, I have to say, is stunning.
Many times during the process, while cutting and cutting, Ashley and the others couldn't help but look at Xia Yu like a monster.
"Xia, are you really just an actor?"
Xia Yuhui shook his head and said with a smile, "I think you are still a screenwriter?"
Ashley couldn't help but shook her head and pinched her forehead, "I think, maybe... even without me, the "Twilight Series" can still produce the effect you want in your hands? I seriously doubt it now, you are looking for
Am I just looking for a tool?"
Zhuang Ling also touched his chin, "Is there anything else you don't know?"
Although in fact it is exactly what Ashley said, Xia Yu definitely can't hit her, it's good for everyone to get what they need, right?
Is this how white lies come about?
After they returned to the apartment to rest, Ashley couldn't help but ask Xia Yu again:
"You must have systematically studied directing, right?"
She was a little unwilling to do so. She had been immersed in directing for more than ten years and was also an elite member of the USC Directing School. But to be honest, she was a little bit hindsight when she was editing and realized that maybe she was
He has been taken away by Xia Yu...
It would be fine if Xia Yu was an established director, but she is an actor... This makes Ashley somewhat uncomfortable...
Especially when filming of "Twilight 1" and "Twilight 2" has been completed.
Ashley's hindsight made him realize that these two movies were almost full of scenes that Xia Yu wanted. Especially when Xia Yu was performing, many scenes were slightly beyond Ashley's expectations.
You guessed it, a more advanced performance perspective in storyboarding!
Although she can clearly feel that in the past few months, because of Xia Yu's participation, she has made rapid progress in terms of directors, actors, and scripts, just like everyone else.
But... no director can accept it, like a puppet on strings, especially a director with independent ideas!
Faced with Ashley's distress, Xia Yu didn't know how to deal with it.
After all, Ashley was the tool she was looking for. This is a fact, although the phrase "put aside the facts" is very rogue.
“If we don’t even talk about the facts, what should we talk about!?”
Talk about cooperation, talk about relationships?
Xia Yu didn't say anything at first, because Ashley had her own arrogance. But if it were to happen again, Xia Yu would choose to tell Ashley forcefully - you listen to me, I will push you to the front line of Hollywood, even the top director
location.
But now as a good friend and partner, I can't say that, just like Dai Chengbi - the actual root cause is here.
Xia Yu discussed it with Zhuang Ling, and finally Zhuang Ling took action and went out for a drink with Ashley at the busiest time...
When I came back early the next morning, I looked at Xia Yu. Not to mention resentment, although she was still a little melancholy, she was more shocked!
"Zhuang told me - "Trafficking Crime" was actually directed and filmed by you and Dai together? But there was no signature?"
As for why there is no signature, both Zhuang Ling and Ashley know it - in order to improve the success of winning the award!
Movies with two directors will most likely not win the Best Director Award, especially the top three in Europe, which is very rare...
Xia Yu smiled secretly, "I hope Ashley can help us keep this secret——"
Although Ashley still resisted, she was not really a fool. After Zhuang Ling enlightened her, she also understood the truth.
No one cares about how much effort the director behind a successful movie has put in, and Hollywood will not get to the bottom of it. All they recognize is the name of the chief director on the movie's signature, who is it?
That’s reality…
Zhuang Ling's few words cannot be said to have moved her, but they can only be said to have made her realize the reality.
"Before you really become a first-line director in Hollywood, there is no need to be so obsessed with the so-called realization of self-worth..."
"You can't deny that Xia Yu helped you a lot. If it weren't for Xia Yu, you wouldn't be able to take the photos you have now, let alone cut them..."
"Also, you have been using the team of Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company very smoothly, haven't you?"
"I have been thinking about how to make money to support myself since I was eighteen years old, no, seventeen years old, when I arrived in Los Angeles - I had no self, no freedom, no free time, and was completely framed by money for thirteen years... But
These thirty-one years of restriction have allowed me to enjoy the freedom I have now. I am still within the restriction, but I am freer than 99% of the people in the world!"
"Ashley, you have been free for almost forty years, but what have you gained? Wake up?"
Ashley's silence did not last long. This was a big blow to her, but it was also a test——
There are still times when she is stubborn, but more often than not, she is impressed by Xia Yu's perspective.
The same plot, edited in different ways, suddenly revealed the high and low, which made her sincerely sigh, "You are really a monster!"
If Xia Yu heard this, he would also feel sincerely, right? Because what Zhuang Ling said makes sense - maybe on this road to success, you will see many losers, and not everyone can
Successful!
But without ten or twenty years of hard work, without carrying the burden forward, without bearing the humiliation, you may not even have a chance to succeed. Maybe the final result may not be as good as you expected, but this hard work
You will not regret the process!
Xia Yu did not arrogantly say to Ashley, "Follow me, and I will make you one of the greatest directors in Hollywood!"
This was so illusory that even she herself was not sure. She only hugged Ashley, afraid of patting her on the shoulder, and said:
