Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 40 Request
"You can just show us the results you have published in recent years!"

"I mainly want the film to look like it doesn't have too many loopholes. Although this isn't research, it's not good if the audience can see the film out of context at first glance."

“Are there any research directions?”

"It doesn't matter, as long as it has something to do with mathematics."

"That's the kind of thing!" The other person smiled and patted his thigh, "No problem! It's a piece of cake. Sit down first and I'll look for it for you."

The old professor pushed his glasses, made a pressing palm gesture towards Huang Ze, and then walked into the study to rummage through the drawers and cabinets looking for something.

About three minutes later, the old professor came out with two notebooks.

“This is the result of my graduate studies.”

"I figured this out earlier. It took me half a year to figure it out. If I hadn't had a flash of inspiration at the end, I wouldn't have been able to figure it out."

"How many blackboards do you think you'll need to write this on?"

"Write smaller words, maybe four or five yuan."

"Oh……"

That’s quite a lot.

But that's okay.

Five blackboards are not too long and are still within an acceptable range.

It’s not that short. Like the original film, a small blackboard solved the problem that took the Fields Medal winner and his team two years to solve.

And if there is a shot that moves horizontally across a row, with densely packed formulas written on the blackboard, and finally the camera stays behind the protagonist, filming him writing the formulas with a pen as if he were possessed, it seems to be even more shocking.

"Okay, these two questions are enough!"

Huang Ze nodded and casually opened his notebook.

"what……"

Huang Ze, who could not be said to know nothing about mathematics, could also be said to be completely clueless. He suddenly felt powerless!

The old professor's handwriting is not printed.

Huang Ze felt that it was quite difficult to identify it correctly.

Huang Ze scratched his head and acted like a humble and good student.

"Can you assign me a student to copy all these symbols?"

"I always feel that if some symbols are written slightly wrong, they will have a different meaning."

"After all, mathematics is a rigorous subject. I hope to do my best to make sure that others can't find any mistakes."

"We will also thank you at the end of the film. If something goes wrong, it will only tarnish your reputation."

"Oh, that makes sense, that makes sense!" The old professor was also fooled by Huang Ze, "Then when you need to write, I'll let my graduate students assist you."

"Oh, thank you so much, Professor Wang." Huang Ze stood up, bent down slightly, stretched out his hands and shook the other person's hand to express his gratitude, and then struck while the iron was hot and continued to make requests.

"Also, we may need to use a classroom at Jiaotong University for filming. Can you give us some convenience?"

"Don't worry, it won't take up much of the students' time. It's just two or three shots. It's a promotion for the students, right?"

"Also, the last film I wrote earned more than one million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange for the country. This film will be sold abroad to obtain foreign exchange to support national construction." Fearing that the other party would not agree and he would have to find other connections, Huang Ze added one more sentence, using the greater good to put pressure on him.

This trick is quite effective for people of this era.

as predicted!

Hearing Huang Ze's words, Professor Wang was immediately happy and pointed at Huang Ze with his index finger.

"You kid!"

"OK, no problem!"

"As long as it doesn't exceed one class, my students and I will support national construction with you."

After saying that, Professor Wang rolled his eyes at Huang Ze jokingly.

Although he is small in stature, he has a big heart.

Let's not talk about this. Just look at the pile of things you sent. Can I refuse such a request? "Then I have to thank you, Professor Wang."

"Okay, stop being polite. Do you want me to take you to the classroom and listen in?"

"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

Professor Wang's proposal was exactly what Huang Ze wanted.

In the afternoon, I took a pen and paper and followed Professor Wang to attend his class.

Of course, if you ask Huang Ze, who entered the entertainment industry after graduating from junior high school in his previous life, whether he can understand it, he definitely can't.

But this class is worthwhile.

Huang Ze took a pen and drew the professor and the layout of the corridor based on his basic skills so that he could draw the storyboards in advance!

As soon as the script is approved, the crew will be prepared, and Huang Ze doesn't want to waste time.

The sooner you start shooting, the better.

Therefore, after taking a look at the Jiaotong University campus, Huang Ze dragged Zhang Jianya, the strong man, to scout the scenery and subconsciously painted a rosy picture for him.

"Director Xu promised me that he would let me be the director once the script was approved."

"This time I'll let you take my position in "Spring of the Underachievers", executive assistant director!"

"And I'll give you three shots!"

Three sentences to make a man serve you wholeheartedly.

Especially the last sentence, the effect is explosive.

Zhang Jianya's eyes were glowing green.

Three shooting opportunities, he knew very well what this meant.

Director Xu will definitely pay close attention to Huang Ze's new film. If he performs well enough, maybe he can become a director like Huang Ze!
Director!
Apart from the film "Red Elephant" he worked on with Tian Zhuangzhuang, Xie Xiaojin and others at the Beijing Film Academy, his own path to becoming a director is still a long way off.

Huang Ze's pie was exactly what he wanted.

"Okay! Remember not to lie after three chances. Don't treat me like a human being!"

"It's not that exaggerated. Just come with me to find some filming locations."

First, where the protagonist lives.

No choice, in the alley.

There are a lot of them in Shanghai, and because there are so many, you have to find the most suitable one, which should be both restrained enough and unrestrained enough.

A place where the talents of the person and the protagonist can be in sharp contrast.

There was also a friend who was teasing girls in a bar and was ridiculed by Harvard students, and the protagonist stood up and crushed him.

Not to mention that there are no bars with that kind of environment in Shanghai. Even if there are, it is not suitable for filming such scenes, and it may not pass the review.

Huang Ze changed it to a scene on the basketball court where they were jealous of each other.

After playing basketball, the top student was chewing on an apple, and the protagonist taunted him again, "Is the apple delicious? I got her home phone number, but you can only chew on the apple here?"

The heroine's family background is extremely superior, even higher than Huang Ze's family. It is reasonable for her to have a telephone at home.

……

In this way, Huang Ze drew the storyboards that would be used one by one while scouting the locations.

A month and a half later, at the end of October, the script passed review.

Director Xu was a man of his word and immediately assigned the task to Huang Ze, "You are the director of Good Will Hunting, and I am the executive producer of this film."

"Tell me, are there any special requirements for the crew members? If so, just tell me directly if you need to use someone."

"I want to hire a classmate from Xi'an Film Studio as the photographer." In the years without monitors, the photographer was extremely important. He was probably the only one who could see the picture on the spot.

So Huang Ze wanted to find a classmate who was both talented and able to control himself.

It will be difficult to deal with someone of an elder level. It will be difficult for you to say anything or not to say anything. It will only cause trouble for yourself.
