Chapter 7: Decoration

Early in the morning, Wang Yang got up. He had no habit of staying in bed because he practiced boxing for more than half an hour every morning. From childhood to wind and rain, the practice of boxing has long been a part of his life. One day, if he does not practice, he feels uncomfortable all day long. Perhaps because of the practice of boxing every day, Wang Yang is tall and tall, not a muscular man with a quarterback like a tiger's back, but his uniform muscles are definitely good-looking.
However, Wang Yang has his own opinion on why Wang Yang can grow up, and he insists that it is because the restaurant ’s nutritious meals are good, and of course, his genes are good.
Wang Yang practiced eight pole punches, a very strong form of punching. He learned from an old man named Wu in Chinatown. The old man was said to have been an officer of the Beiyang Army. When I arrived in San Francisco, the gold in San Francisco had already been panned out. Old man Wu was naturally unable to pan for gold, so he found a job in Chinatown, worked for Grandpa Wang Yang, and worked as a second chef in a restaurant.
Old man Wu always said that Wang Yang was lazy and did not practice well, even his 30% of his skills were not inherited. Wang Yang made a big mistake.
"I can be both fit and healthy, and can defend myself. I am satisfied." Wang Yang flirted one stroke at a time, he thought "evil" without thinking: "Old man, you just stare at your unique tricks. Lost it! "
Having practiced for half an hour and sweating, Wang Yang exhaled for a long time, and couldn't help feeling comfortable. He changed his clothes and looked at the time, half past seven. On the phone last night, Jessica said that she could arrive at about nine o'clock,
So Wang Yang seized the time and went out to the nearby decoration shop to buy some putty powder and brushes. He also rented a ladder. Today ’s task is to whiten those dilapidated walls!
When renting a house, an elderly landlord said that whatever Wang Yang paints is okay, provided that Nippon paint is not used. The old white man who participated in World War II was a member of the Marine Corps, and his brother died in the battle of Iwo Jima.
However, Wang Yang does not plan to paint the walls. It is unnecessary, expensive, and wastes time. Just paint it with some putty to make the walls look like a new house.
Rao is so. It costs him nearly five hundred dollars to buy putty powder, brushes and rent a ladder, which means that the production cost of "Smart and Ghost Record" has risen from zero to three figures ...
After a lot of hard work to move the goods home, Jessica hadn't come yet, so Wang Yang turned around in the house, thinking about the script, the setting of the scene and the arrangement of the camera.
Later in the film "Smart and Ghost Record", the whole process of photography was done in the home of the producer Oren Paley, but it was a large independent house in the suburbs, not the "Apartment" where Wang Yang currently lives. . Therefore, it is not feasible to move the content of the movie and the lens intact. Of course, Wang Yang did not think about doing that at the beginning.
In fact, whether it is "Witch Blair" or "Smart and Ghost Record", most of the reasons for their success come from their own creativity, as well as successful publicity and some luck. As for the film itself, the pseudo-documentary filming technique is very good, but the content does not say how many classics have been filmed, and absolutely cannot be linked to the story and scenes that cannot be modified.
In fact, due to Wang Yang ’s love for movies since childhood, he has been thinking and accumulating for many years; and he has studied systematically in South Carolina. Although he has only been studying for one and a half semesters, he has already put the theory of textbooks for the next few years I've seen it; well, maybe I have a little talent.
Anyway, from his point of view, "Smart and Ghost Record" needs major surgery. The original version is not only not suitable for his current situation, but also has many defects in the movie itself, such as entering the rhythm too slowly, trying to be dull for a long time, etc. Perhaps it was Wang Yang ’s own taste, but he felt he could do better anyway!
"It's a good place to put the camera in this position. If the whole hall is dark, the lens sensing should be very good ..." Wang Yang touched his chin, turned around in the hall, and then selected a position. He squatted down and put his eyes on The angle is adjusted like a DV machine. Looking at the empty hall, the scene in my head is slowly forming, whispering: "It is good to put a TV directly opposite the lens, so that the TV screen reflects a figure. ... "
While Wang Yang was designing these horror scenes, his mobile phone suddenly rang, which surprised him who wanted to be enchanted! He rolled his eyes and whispered again: "So I hate horror movies." He took out his phone and saw it. It was Jessica Alba's, and he laughed, "Jessica? Good morning."
"Good morning!" The phone heard Jessica's voice, she said: "I have come to your apartment building."
"Then you wait, I will come down to pick you up now." Wang Yang closed the line, pulled a windbreaker from the rotten sofa, and hurried down the stairs.
Came outside the apartment and saw Jessica waving and waving in the distance, presumably because she knew that today's help was to paint the wall, so she was wearing a set of jeans and jeans that looked very old. Wang Yang was stunned, because Jessica was still followed by a man, a tall, strong young man, also wearing a denim suit, who looked very handsome, and looked at him not friendly.
"Hi, Yang, good morning!" Jessica came over and greeted, hand to the man, introduced: "This is Joshua, mine ..."
"Boyfriend! Hello, I'm Jessica's boyfriend." The handsome guy named Joshua smiled first, and he seemed to embrace Wang Yang with enthusiasm and hugged hard, while laughing: "Jessie Ka told me, you are her good friend who used to study in San Francisco, right? "
He seemed to be looking good to Wang Yang, and he kept using his hoops. Jessica rolled his eyes on the side, and he spread his hands helplessly to Wang Yang, apologizing.
"Hello." Although Wang Yang was very lost in his heart, he didn't show it at all. His arms widened strongly, and he just took Joshua away from him. He smiled and said, "You are so passionate!"
"Oh, dude, you have a lot of strength!" Joshua plucked his arm in a distressed face, he stared at Wang Yang's face, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Please, don't you have a little no Are you happy? "Wang Yang questioned:" What do you mean? "Joshua frowned:" I'm Jessica's boyfriend! You should be frustrated, lost, and disappointed! "Wang Yang said quietly. Laughed: "Dude, you are too suspicious."
At this time, Jessica, who had not spoken, shook her head and smiled: "Okay, Joshua, end your boring tricks!" She reintroduced to Wang Yang and said: "He is my brother, one year younger than me He is also attending school for performing arts. He is also free today, so I called him to help. "
She gave Joshua a punch in the arm and counted in her sister's tone: "He is very naive, so Yang, don't you mind."
Joshua-Alba? Shit, what a joke about this little guy! Despite scolding Joshua in his heart, Wang Yang smiled indifferently: "Your brother, um, very humorous ..." Seriously, just now he heard Joshua saying that he was Jessica ’s boyfriend. Full of feelings of being hit.
He glanced at Jessica, is it an illusion? How did she feel that she suddenly became a little unhappy, is it because he did not show the feeling of loss just now? Don't even think about it, maybe it's just an illusion.
"Come with me, here is the wind outside, come to my new home first!"
Wang Yang led the way ahead, Jessica followed, and Joshua walked all the way, looking at the surroundings curiously. He said with great interest: "Wow, I do n’t know of this community in Los Angeles, it seems quite backward. Yes, how is the security here? You know, I mean, are there any gangs? "
"No, this area is very safe." Wang Yang answered directly.
Joshua said again: "Well, although there is no gang, but I can't let my sister go to see a stranger alone, so I came." He suddenly accelerated to walk in front of Wang Yang, looked back at Wang Yang, one With a sceptical face: "Although you were good friends before, it was 9 years ago! Oh my God, I was only 7 years old at that time, and I completely forgot about things in San Francisco! Well, who knows you are now What is it like? "
"Joshua!" Jessica hurriedly shouted as he heard him say more, and said angrily: "How can you talk like this ?!" She then looked at Wang Yang apologetically and said, "I'm sorry , My brother is a child. "
"Oh, kid?" Joshua said convincingly: "Jessica, you are only one year older than me."
"Jessica, it doesn't matter, Joshua is right." Wang Yang shrugged and gave her a smile that he didn't mind. Because this is a fact, although he tried very well with Jessica, but now after so many years, who knows who the other party will become? Presumably Jessica did not want to come alone, but her brother said everything. For no reason, Joshua was very hostile to him, and seemed to be trying to "balance" him at any time.
Do you think I am pursuing Jessica? Wang Yang thought to himself.
Soon, Wang Yang brought his sister Jessica to the apartment he rented. As soon as he opened the door and entered the house, Joshua shouted, "Wow, wow", with a shocked expression: "Unbelievable! So broken! House! Oh my God, if I read right, a mouse just crossed me! Yang, are you planning to make a movie here? "
He looked funny, touched here and touched there, saw the camera model in the cardboard box on the table, and took it out, pretending to be a comical act of the director, laughing: "Take this shot?"
"That doesn't work." Wang Yang replied seriously, not accepting his move at all: "I'm going to rent a DV shot."
"Joshua ... Could you shut up for me!" Jessica gritted her teeth and stared at Joshua, "You make me feel ashamed!"
Joshua put down the camera model, made a gesture of raising his hand to surrender, and said with a curse: "OK, OK, I shut up!" Before the words fell, he added a sentence: "But seriously, this house is really It's broken. "
Jessica was so angry that she couldn't speak. She covered her face with her hands and muttered the words of "God".
"It's really broken, so brush it well, UU reading www.uukanshu.com to get started!" Wang Yang didn't want Jessica to be too difficult to do, so he hurried everyone to work, he put gloves, paper caps, brushes and other things Distribute to two people, and then take out the putty powder and mix it, officially started today's wall painting work.
In the process of painting the wall, Jessica wore gloves, paper caps, plus her jeans, she brushed very diligently and carefully, and she really looked like a decoration worker.
While Joshua didn't shut up, he kept talking and asking questions, provoking Wang Yang and asking difficult questions. He was lazily holding a brush, carelessly painting on the wall, and asked again: "Yang, do you think the" movie "you made would be seen by the distribution company? I just think, take a DV machine Just play around, it's a movie? Then the little Mary in our neighbor's house will do too. She likes to take the DV machine all day to shoot, oh yes, she is only five years old. "
"Joshua, believe me, I know what a movie is and what a short life movie is." Wang Yang shrugged again: "Of course, maybe that little Mary is making a movie."
Jessica was amused by Wang Yang's humor and said: "Joshua, Yang knows movies better than you, you are just a small actor."
"Yang, how much box office can you expect if your movie is released? Who will spend a few dollars to watch a DV at home?" After a while, Joshua asked another question.
"One hundred million, maybe two hundred million." Wang Yang said with a smile, saying that he was joking: "At least I can recover the cost. I still have confidence in this."
"What is your budget cost? I don't know yet." Joshua asked with interest.
"Ten thousand. There are only nine thousand five hundred now, and it took five hundred to buy these wall-washing things."
"Oh, ten thousand? You have no fever?"
