Chapter 127 Film Is No Longer an Independent Art Form
The next morning, Yang Lingyue drove Zeng Li's Audi to the home of his head teacher Yang Lin. After ringing the doorbell, a middle-aged man with gray hair opened the door.
"Happy New Year, Master."
"Happy New Year to you too, come in quickly, your teacher is in the study."
The other party saw Yang Lingyue and said with a smile that his wife's student was really too polite. He came during the Mid-Autumn Festival, before the New Year, and after the New Year, and never came empty-handed.
Yang Lingyue came back from Germany this time and brought a few belts and wallets. German leather goods are also quite good. They are considered one of the specialties and are not expensive. A belt costs about 50 euros.
Of course, he couldn't just bring leather goods. When he came the second time, he brought two packs of cigarettes.
"You returned to China yesterday? Didn't you have a good time?" Master pulled Yang Lingyue to sit on the sofa and greeted him.
"I have to go back to my hometown to visit relatives." Yang Lingyue responded happily.
After a few casual chats, Yang Lin came out of the study, and Master got up to do his own things.
A typical intellectual family, with a son who is married and spending the New Year at his father-in-law's home in Shanghai this year. The other party is also an only child, and the two families take turns.
"Congratulations, you won the Golden Bear for your first short film." After greeting again, Yang Lin said warmly.
Then Yang Lingyue talked about his own experiences, especially about things like political correctness.
"This is also one of my views. Film is no longer an independent art. This is inevitable. But is it more difficult than eight-part essays? There are so many people who have written excellent articles on eight-part essays, and they are all outstanding. The same is true for the director industry. You must learn to use the rules."
Yang Lin is very realistic. At the same time, he admonished students from a high latitude. Of course, he did not exaggerate and say that changing the rules means anything. What does changing the rules mean?
Yang Lin said it very clearly. Film is no longer an independent art. It is the same in all countries around the world.
It is also like Yang Lingyue's point of view when he discussed the generation of directors with Li Yu in Germany. That is ideology, that is revolution.
Johnnie To, such a self-centered person, said a few words in Berlin about the freedom of film creation, but he had to slap himself in the face the next day.
"It's good that you can focus on thinking instead of thinking about media reports. But the distribution of movies is done by more professional people, so there is no need to involve too much energy."
Finally, Yang Lin concluded with great satisfaction and praised her proud student.
Yang Lingyue did not mention the reporter at all, and was discussing his own experiences and gains throughout the whole process.
After saying goodbye and leaving, he took the teacher's own pickled meat, two bottles of aged wine and the February school magazine, the Journal of Kyoto Film Academy, which included an issue of his interview.
"Your student is really rare. I have seen many child prodigies and geniuses, but he is not a quick-witted person. But I have never seen such a steady one. How did his parents educate him? Our son is 30 years old and he is not so steady." The teacher's husband said with emotion.
"I have taught students for so many years, but I have never seen a child who knows what he wants very early and has a firm goal. Also, smoke less."
Yang Lin glanced at her husband and then at the bag on the table.
After Yang Lingyue left, he did not return to Yard No. 8, but went to Yard No. 5 and sent the story of "The Last Race" and the character biography of the caregiver to Tong Dawei who was still in Germany.
When school started, the script would be basically completed after collecting the opinions of the teachers. At that time, it was necessary to cast, attract investment, and prepare for filming.
After sorting out his thoughts, he returned to Yard No. 8, where Yu Li was making lunch.
"Lili, after work starts, you will make three copies of my trophy."
"Well, I know, you will give it to me when you come back from Longcheng. This time, I will take it back to show my uncle and aunt first." Yu Li smiled sweetly and responded.
"That's right, then take the magazine back too." Yang Lingyue said happily.
In the afternoon, Yu Li accompanied Yang Lingyue to go shopping, mainly to buy gifts for her parents, watches and bracelets, in short, they were very expensive, and she spent more than one million.
After that, Yang Lingyue specially called Wang Zhi and the creators of "Curved Surface".
Wang Zhi naturally knew about it a long time ago, but it was inconvenient to disturb Yang Lingyue in Germany. He was very excited when he received Yang Lingyue's call.
During the filming, Yang Lingyue said that he hoped that "Curved Surface" would become a masterpiece that you can talk about when you are looking for a job in the future. Isn't it done?
Wang Zhi may enter the film and television industry earlier because of this film, which can be regarded as a contribution made by Yang Lingyue.
The other few expressed the same meaning, we are awesome, we must hold a celebration banquet.
In the following days, Yang Lingyue returned to Longcheng and became a pendant for Liu Qingna to show off. He began to visit relatives and friends or receive guests.
He fully played the role of a polite, idealistic, and good son who made his parents proud.
So on the 25th, Yang Lingyue ran away, saying that the company was going to start work. He was supposed to stay for a week.
In fact, Yang Lingyue flew to Jiangcheng, and it was late at night when he arrived in Shashi, Jingcheng by changing train.
I sent a message to Zeng Li and asked her home address. Unexpectedly, Zeng Li called me.
Then Zeng Li went out and headed straight for the hotel.
"You're annoying. Didn't you say you'd come after the tenth?"
Zeng Li, who looked disdainful but was very honest with her body, hugged her boyfriend tightly, wishing she could rub herself into him.
"I missed you, so I came." Yang Lingyue turned her head and kissed Zeng Li's cheek.
"Hurry up, I have to go back." Zeng Li couldn't stand her boyfriend's dawdling and couldn't help but say angrily.
"What the hell, it's already past 1 o'clock." Yang Lingyue said helplessly.
"You have no good intentions, you want to hook me up so that you can come tomorrow, right?" Zeng Li said.
"Who knew you were still awake." Yang Lingyue laughed.
"Cold, quilt. I'm chatting with my sister." Zeng Li pulled the quilt.
After meeting, the pain of missing each other was greatly relieved, and the conversation between the two was interrupted.
After that, the two did not move, and fell asleep in each other's arms.
When I woke up the next day, I looked at the time and suddenly woke up. It was already half past ten.
Zeng Li asked in a daze, and immediately sat up with her hair disheveled.
"Hurry, hurry."
It's fast, but it can't be fast.
Zeng Li first called her sister, but Zeng's mother answered the phone, saying calmly that she was making lunch to entertain the guests.
Apparently her sister couldn't stand her mother's questioning. It was understandable that she went out in the middle of the night and didn't come back until the morning. After all, Zeng's mother knew that her eldest daughter's boyfriend had just won a prize in Germany.
Wash up, buy gifts.
It was already 12 o'clock when she arrived.
