The University of Southern California can currently be said to be the world's number one school of film arts, cultivating countless talents every year.

The school’s alumni include scholars, artists, technicians, screenwriters, directors and film industry executives from professional schools around the world.

Students who have gone out here have won various awards in the film and television industry.

From the Academy Awards and Emmy Awards to major film festivals in the United States and around the world, alumni of the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts have left behind their glorious achievements.

Since 1965, an alumnus has been nominated for an Academy Award every two years.

It can be said that this is the cradle of talents in the world film industry.

Under the afternoon sun, in a pavilion on the tree-lined path, there is a Chinese international student who is studying tirelessly. From time to time, she is flipping through a basic book on directing.

Sometimes happy, sometimes frowning.

She was so focused on reading that even the passers-by couldn't bear to disturb her.

Who is this person?

She is Yu Feihong!

It has been almost three months since she came to the University of Southern California, and she feels the new film atmosphere here.

While she majored in acting here, she also minored in directing.

Here she learned knowledge eagerly and wandered in the ocean of knowledge.

If she hadn't thought of someone occasionally, she would have thought that she would be cut off from the outside world.

She lives a very good life here, everything is clearly arranged, and although she is a little resistant on the surface, she enjoys it in her heart.

For some reason, I have been thinking about him more and more recently. Sometimes I can't sleep at night, as if there are insects biting me.

This gave her a sense of shame and made her feel like she had become dissolute.

But the more you restrain yourself from thinking about this thing, the stronger your longing becomes.

At this time, she was very eager for someone to come unexpectedly.

After finishing her homework for the day, she packed up her books and returned to her apartment.

She lived in a villa area not far from the campus and drove a modified Cheetah, and it only took ten minutes to get there.

He opened the door of the villa as usual, nodded to the two elder brothers in charge of security, and walked towards his house.

But she didn't notice the strange looks from the two security guards.

"Hua Zi, do you think this is our boss's wife?"

"Ade, don't ask around, just do our job well!"

"I'm just curious! Besides, there are only two of us here, so there's nothing else we can't say."

"Yes, I would say yes. This young lady is so beautiful. She looks like the others at the same level. The boss treats her so well and even comes all the way here to see the scenery. Do you think she is here to see the scenery?"

!”

"Haha, I'm here to deliver the gun."

"Keep your voice down, you really don't have a doorkeeper."

…

Yu Feihong picked up the key and opened the door as usual. The moment he opened the door, he smelled a long-lost smell, the aroma of cooking!

This made her heart suddenly lift up, and she suddenly thought of something and put it down, and infinite joy arose in her heart.

In order to prove what she had in mind, a man with a strong breath came out of the kitchen.

"It's a coincidence that I came here. My food has just been prepared. Please clean it up and get ready for dinner." Zhao Hong saw Fairy Jinghong with a plain face and said with a smile.

"Hmm!" She felt like she had a thousand words to say, but she didn't know what to say. She just responded simply, then she put her coat away naturally and then washed her hands.

Then I sat down at the table and enjoyed the meal he handed me.

The process between the two of them was very natural and harmonious, and it didn't look like it was the first time at all.

While eating, we whispered about some things that happened during this period.

Zhao Hong told some interesting things in Xiangjiang, while Fairy Jinghong told some embarrassing things that happened in a strange place.

When talking about Coke, everyone smiled slightly.

Dinner is closed!

Zhao Hong walked over gently and held her in his arms from behind, feeling the beauty tremble slightly.

he said softly.

"Feihong, have you missed me during this time?"

"Well, I thought about it!"

"Me too. I came here specifically to see you this time. Have you seen how you are living? I feel very uncomfortable..."

"What are you worried about? As a living person like me, am I still worried about something going wrong?"

"Haha, I'm just afraid. Even if there's a 0.01% chance, I'm worried."

…

The two of them talked softly and sweetly, and unknowingly they got started and slowly came to my bed.

This is another night when the rain hits the banana trees.

I took a walk around the University of Southern California with Jinghong Fairy, and got a general understanding of some of the buildings inside.

What is very interesting is that many directors have built supporting facilities for film production here, such as the George Lucas Teaching Building, the Marcia Lucas Post-Production Building, and the Steven Spielberg Film Score Recording Studio.

, Harold Lloyd Studio, Johnny Carson Studio, etc.

One of these directors is also a director from DreamWorks, such as Spielberg. He is currently filming "Jurassic Park" and is expected to see the audience in another year.

In addition to him, among the current MGM directors, there is another world-famous director in the future, and that is Cameron.

This man who will be the king of the world in the future is very awesome now.

His famous work is "The Terminator". This film only cost 6.5 million US dollars to shoot, but it achieved a box office of 36 million US dollars in the United States and a global box office of 78 million US dollars.

It can be said that this movie made many film companies see his talent in business.

Later, he co-wrote the script for "First Blood 2" with Sylvester Stallone.

What once again increased his popularity was "Alien 2", which is the sequel to director Ridley Scott's science fiction film "Alien".

Under normal circumstances, sequels are not as good as the previous one, but they managed to counterattack and surpass the previous one. I have to say that this is really a genius.

This movie written and directed by James Cameron avoids repeating the style of the original film, but moves the battlefield between humans and aliens from a single spaceship to a space base, reinterpreting what happened in space in an action movie style.

horror story.

But no matter how talented a director is, there are times when he fails. In 1989, Cameron wrote and directed his third film "The Abyss". This science fiction film is somewhat different from James Cameron's other similar works, although it has

It is interspersed with a lot of fighting and descriptions of mysterious creatures under the sea, but its focus is still on using a relatively slow pace to tell a story about the relationship between a couple in a science fiction background.

Some viewers thought the film was too slow, and the film failed at the box office.

Under such frustrated circumstances, he was acquired by MGM. This year's "Terminator 2" he filmed made MGM a huge profit.

When they learned that Cameron was going to shoot a sequel to "Terminator", MGM bought the rights directly from Warner Bros., and after it was released in the United States, it made a box office of 200 million U.S. dollars, plus a global box office of more than 400 million U.S. dollars.

knife.

It can be said that it is a huge profit. The copyright fee is directly earned from the box office alone. As for the peripherals or video tapes, it is pure profit.

Now Warner is beating his chest and regretting it endlessly.

This thing is now a chicken that lays golden eggs, and it can still be developed for follow-up, and peripherals are actually the big deal, especially for DreamWorks.

In fact, other Hollywood giants are currently cooperating with DreamWorks on peripherals, and they can earn about US$100 million more per year than before.

Of course, the biggest treasure is that MGM got Cameron, which is a priceless treasure.

In Zhao Hong's memory, in the following days, there was no movie of his that did not make a lot of money.

By taking him into his pocket, his company is enjoying the greatest benefit in disguise.

After wandering around, Zhao Hong really felt that the foundation here was very profound, and the gap between Hongfu Academy and Hongfu Academy was very obvious.

It is not a gap in hardware facilities, but a gap in talent shipments.

At present, Hongfu Academy is also developing well, but there are no filmmakers who are famous all over the world. Even in Xiangjiang, it is still mainly supported by the older generation.

They have not yet taken over the responsibilities of the older generation. Hopefully in another twenty or ten years, Hongfu Academy will become the most famous film school in Asia.

The main reason is that compared to the three major art academies in the Mainland, this place is too inclusive and brings together talents from other Asian countries to study here.

In addition, the tutorials here always keep up with technological trends and always adhere to the commercial route.

Zhao Hong has reason to believe that future Chinese commercial films will rely on this group of people to support them.

"Feihong, you are here to steal from me. When you are successful in your studies, you will come to Hongfu College to give lectures!"

Zhao Hong held the beauty's hand, and the two walked along the tree-lined path. The breeze was blowing, so pleasant!
