Chapter 483 The Start of the Documentary

In view of this, the latest post in the original update is a purchase link on Amazon, and the bottom line is unanimously positive.

The electronic document has sold 230,000 copies within one day of being put on the shelves, instantly becoming the number one sales volume in the book section that month, and this number is still increasing.

There is still a big gap between the first place in the year and the first place is "Twilight", with sales of 1.87 million, but its selling price is 29.99 US dollars, and "The Martian" is 0.99 US dollars, which is a fraction of others.

"Honey, I was wrong today."

Fan Bingbing's thoughts are obviously not pure. No matter how good the reviews of "The Martian" are, or how high the sales are, it has nothing to do with her.

Yang Lingyue looked at the evaluation and sales data, couldn't help but feel good, and said with a smile: "I'll spare you."

"No, you said that you don't have real skills through hard work, and you can't stand fame and fortune. I ignored it."

Yang Lingyue shook his head and said: "The most unbearable thing is loneliness, and the hardest thing to leave behind is glory. Knowledge has always bullied wealth, and true stories can be found under the lonely lamp."

Fan Bingbing said disdainfully: "When are you still talking about words? You are so serious."

"The most unbearable thing is loneliness, Fan Bingbing, I'm going to school to see the teacher right away." Yang Lingyue raised his hand unceremoniously.

Fan Bingbing saw this and whispered, "It's a two-hour journey, and you can take a shower in the car."

Yang Lingyue changed his mind and thought that he could not favor one thing over another.

I have been working for most of the day, and I haven’t even taken a lunch break yet, so I just put away the computer.

.........

After arriving at the gate of the Film School, Yang Lingyue got out of the car alone. After all, the impact of RV entering the campus was not good.

Now is the time for freshmen to register and return to school. Yang Lingyue's appearance inevitably causes a noise. Most of them are freshmen. Occasionally there are old students, so you have to be careful. How can you make as much fuss as the freshmen.

Looking at these strange but handsome faces, Yang Ling sighed more and more from the bottom of his heart. In terms of the profession of actors in film schools, it is true that each generation is inferior to the last, because none of them look familiar.

Yang Lingyue came to school, firstly to register and pay tuition, and secondly to thank Xiaojin for looking for him.

Although I no longer come to school, I still have to pay tuition and take exams. Not to mention scholarships, I must at least pass the exam and get a diploma.

I took my student ID card, paid my tuition, received my receipt, and chatted with some familiar classmates before heading to Xie Xiaojin's office.

After exchanging pleasantries and asking about what they have been busy with recently:

"Come and give a speech at the welcome party on September 5th."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

"You're from the film school...uh...ok."

Xie Xiaojin looked at Yang Ling's narrowed expression during the conversation and was speechless for a while. He agreed so happily? I'm ready to start a tirade.

"Thank you, teacher. If nothing happens, I will withdraw. We will talk again in two days."

"Let's go, I won't waste the time of a busy man like you."

Yang Lingyue said goodbye and left, exited the north gate and walked towards the RV parked not far away.

Fan Bingbing put down the materials in his hands and asked in surprise: "Is the school thing over so soon?"

"How long does it take to complete the procedure?"

"Hey, I don't know who is in a hurry."

Yang Lingyue glared at her, picked up the information on the table and read it.

What I saw was a documentary plan called "Preserving Craftsmanship", which listed the content that I wanted to shoot, as well as the copywriting of one of them, "Yuxian Paper-cutting".

Seeing that Yang Ling was looking more seriously, Fan Bingbing also became quiet. The only sounds in the carriage were the sound of the car driving on the road and the sound of paper being turned.

"interesting."

Yang Lingyue muttered something, picked up a pen and wrote the words "Chinese Craftsman" next to the copy.

"This case is good, I want to meet the director."

"Are you sure? I'm not saying that the content is not good. This plan only describes what to shoot, not how to shoot, nor how to make a profit. Look at this, inviting celebrities to shoot clothes, with blessings and sponsorships from celebrities That’s fine, Baozi Video is also leaning towards this.”

Fan Bingbing said and handed over the portion in her hand.

Yang Lingyue took it but put it down.

The current conditions for documentary filming in China are indeed very poor. You must know that CCTV has not yet established a documentary channel.

Yang Lingyue's original plan was to use "The Tip of the Tongue" to reverse this general direction, allowing practitioners to see what kind of documentaries can trigger a viewing frenzy and what kind of documentaries can drive the economy.

To put it bluntly, it means breaking away from grand narratives and focusing on ordinary people.

You must know that "Tip of the Tongue" will still be the most popular Chinese documentary on the Internet in 2024, and various food documentaries filmed following the trend are also very popular.

The current planning project of "Preserving Craftsmanship" is from this perspective. At first glance, it does not seem to be commercial, but the passing geese leave traces and the passing winds leave their voices.

"Have you forgotten to define your identity again? This kind of documentary has strong regional and folk characteristics. It's rare that someone is willing to go to remote mountains and spend more than a year to shoot these. The budget is only 3 million. You have found a treasure. "

Listening to Yang Lingyue's words, Fan Bingbing smiled and happily picked up the plan. Since his man said it was a treasure, it must be a treasure.

"Then why do you want to meet this director? Let me take a look. The contact person left is named Ren Changqian. He is a freelance director. Before leaving CCTV, he was the column editor and director of "People"."

Yang Lingyue said with a smile: "This BUFF is stacked, and the artist's breath is coming to my face. Contact him and ask him if he has time today to meet."

Fan Bingbing responded, and then dialed the contact number left. After some communication, they agreed to meet on the second floor of Galaxy Bay Hotel at 7pm.

After hanging up the phone, Fan Bingbing felt a little guilty and glanced at Yang Lingyue.

Seeing that the man had no unusual reaction, she chuckled and proudly hummed "Songs Traveling Around the World". The song was originally intended to be the BGM of the ethnic costume video, but after it came out, she was told that she would have to wait until December to use it.

Fan Bingbing was not willing to agree to this. After a lot of argument and unreasonable talk, Yang Lingyue finally agreed to write a pure music for her.

However, she was not in a hurry, because this ethnic costume video was more time-consuming. Now someone from her studio was looking for someone to shoot it at the National University of Nationalities. There was no shortage of models, but there was a shortage of clothes, and she also had to collect and organize information.

After returning to Xinghewan, drinking some water and resting for a while, Fan Bingbing said, "Why don't you call home?"

"What for?"

"Oh, so awesome, you didn't even tell me you weren't going home at night?"

"Who said I wouldn't go back?"

"Yang Lingyue!!!" Fan Bingbing was a little mad.

"Crazy woman, it's almost time, I should go down."

"No!"
