When shooting a short film, it is not to ask a person to do it, but to let students understand every detail in the production and understand the important surname of teamwork. Professor Grett’s requirement is that students automatically form teams, and then they need several assistants to act as temporary tutors to familiarize students with Hollywood-style production methods as soon as possible.

Ryan, Darren, Reese, David and Chen formed a temporary team and quickly recruited several temporary actors. When filming their respective short films, he took turns to hold different positions, from screenwriter to director, from lighting to editing, etc., and experienced them one by one.

All Equipment Academy has to offer, when Ryan and they completed the final editing, it was already late November.

"You should compensate us for the losses, Ryan."

After handing in the short film, several people gathered in the living room of Ryan's dormitory, and David Moore was in the process of controversy.

"That's right! You said you were going to New York, and we even booked the air ticket!" Reese Clement took over the conversation, "I promised to ask your girlfriend to be our heroine, but the result..."

"Nate is not my girlfriend." Ryan glanced at him and crossed his legs, "Don't forget that I paid for the tickets in advance, you have no losses!"

"But you hurt our hearts." Darren Bowsman muttered.

"Is that true, Darren, don't ask me to help you with special tomato sauce next time."

This guy was shooting a horror short film, and the tomato sauce used was also asked by Ryan to contact relevant personnel of the company.

"Okay, okay." Darren Bowsman raised his hand and changed the topic. "The 508 course will be started next year. I need to shoot an experimental film at that time. I really want to shoot a horror feature film."

"Then you can sprinkle more ketchup?" Chen Jiazheng was flipping through the latest "Vanity Fair" and raised his head.

"Come on, Chen, the psychological horror theory you mentioned is not suitable for the North American market at all." Darren waved casually.

Chen Jiazheng shrugged and said nothing. He has been in school for more than two months. Although many people look at him with tinted glasses, they get along very happily in this small team, and these people have helped him a lot.

"You guys." Ryan shook his head casually, found his backpack, took out a stack of movie tickets from it, and distributed them to several people. "This is the premiere movie ticket you want, each of them has only two. If someone doesn't support you..."

Ryan showed them a big fist.

"Can we walk on the red carpet?" Reese, the most unreliable, made a whimsical suggestion.

"Even if I want to walk the red carpet, I have to wait until the day the movie I directed is released." Darren Bowsman put away the movie tickets and snatched "Vanity Fair" from Chen Jiazheng. "I will become the cover character of "Vanity Fair" by then!"

"It's not dark yet!" Chen Jiazheng took the magazine back and flipped into Ryan's column, "Ryan, is your story about the Roman Empire in this issue?"

"Oh, what story?" David Moore came over curiously.

Over the past few years, Ryan has many stories that have become excellent movies, which will naturally attract the attention of these future film industry people.

"A story about the Gladiator." Darren has seen it, "tells about revenge, family, persistence and responsibility, the typical Ryan style, always sticking to mainstream values."

"So Ryan's works have always been very popular." David Moore was the best at thinking among the four people. "Don't forget that Ryan has never met Roger Albert, but the critic has always admired him, which is very telling."

"Okay, guys, don't watch it. This story will be made into a movie in a few years. I'll invite you to watch it on the spot." Ryan looked at the time and reminded, "We have to hurry up. If we go late, we can only sit at the end."

"Oh, George Lucas has a rare visit to the academy." David Moore had already stood up, "We can't miss it."

In the afternoon, George Lucas would come to the Film Academy to have a conversation with students on topics about producers and directors.

To be honest, Lucas's directorial level was only the last among the four major directors in the 1980s. He spent his whole life with the Star Wars series and his storytelling level was not very good. However, he was an extremely excellent producer. Especially for film technology, he was like James Cameron, always at the forefront.

Moreover, he often realizes some of the theories that predict the film industry, and his vision is indeed good.

"I am not a computer expert, I am just a storyteller who is attentive. Technology is just an indispensable part of the story. Any worker who works in art will encounter technical limitations."

Although he has always been at the forefront of film technology, George Lucas's opening remarks about the important surname of the story for the film, even if he is not a good storyteller.

Compared with purely theoretical single-person speeches, Lucas pays more attention to communication with students. He only spoke for about ten minutes and then handed over the rest of his time to the students for questions.

Although Lucas's theory is not new to Ryan, he listens very seriously. Learning and absorbing the advantages of others for his own use is one of his strengths.

As he has always said, talent is very important, and hard work cannot be ignored.

An hour later, Lucas finished the class and walked out of the auditorium. Ryan attacked Darren and the others, signaling that he had other things to do, and walked towards the office area of ​​the Film Academy.

He gave the premiere movie tickets to several veteran professors and sent out a sincere invitation. It was not until they agreed that Ryan walked out with a smile.

These veteran professors are not just professors. They are all members of the School of Film Arts and Sciences, and they are even one of the core members. They bring out students throughout the Hollywood and entertainment industry.

Connections and networks are often woven bit by bit.

A wide-ranging incognito alliance has no harm to his future career. Now that the breakdown with Disney is inevitable, Ryan naturally wants to bring in more alliances to release Michael Eisner's possible counterattack.

Of course, he and Disney still have common interests, and it is the wisest choice for both parties to maintain this current relationship.

"Hello, Professor Gret." Entering the tutor's office, Ryan just finished saying hello and found another person, "Hi, George, you're here too."

"Ryan." Lucas waved casually, both sides were old friends.

"Sit down, Ryan."

After Ryan sat down, he quickly expressed his intentions, and instructor Gret responded without hesitation.

"Ryan, why don't you send me an invitation?" Ryan just walked out of the office and found George Lucas following from behind, so he had to say, "Come on, George, this is Stephen's movie. Don't you attend the premiere?"

The two laughed and walked outside the academy while talking. Ryan thought of what he heard and asked, "It is said that the Star Wars series will be re-released in 2019? So, are you going to officially launch the prequel?"

"Yes."

George Lucas nodded, "Actually, I have completed the script of the prequel trilogy and will start the filming at the end of next year."

"Is it Anakin? The Skywalker story?" Ryan asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's about Luke's parents, Anakin, Skywalker and Padme, Amidala." Lucas suddenly changed the subject, "Ryan, you are a recognized master of storytelling. How about revising the script for me?"

Obviously, George Lucas has a clear understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses.

"Come on, George, this is Star Wars, this is only the work of George Lucas."

The Star Wars series has become a culture in the United States, and story logic and other things are all over the world.

"Okay." The old man suddenly laughed strangely, "Ryan, I heard that you promised another role of Stephen. How about playing another role in Star Wars?"

"Can you know the general plot?" Ryan asked.

"Let's go to the cafe to talk."

The two simply took a turn and walked into the open-air cafe at the Film Academy.

After ordering two cups of coffee, the two sat opposite each other under the sun umbrella. George Lucas tried to use simple language to tell the general plot. In general, the main line of the story is no different from the movies Ryan had seen in his previous life.

"How about Obi-Wan Kenobi, the master of Luke and Anakin? In the first prequel, he was still a young boy."

Hearing George Lucas' words, Ryan laughed, "George, I'm more interested in another character."

"Wei Gang? Jin?" Lucas asked in confusion.

"No, no, no." Ryan shook his finger, "Anakin, Anakin, Skywalker as an adult."

This can be regarded as a dream in his previous life, especially the ending of "The Clone's Attack", which once made him envious.

"Damn it, it won't be available in the second part, and it's time to wait until the new century." Lucas sighed and asked seriously, "Ryan, are you sure? Don't joke with me!"

"Of course, George, have I ever joked with people about movies?" Ryan shrugged and spread his hands, looking extremely sincere.

After Lucas nodded slowly, Ryan asked again, "George, Padme? Is there a suitable cast member for Amidala?"

"I'm looking for an actress around 15 to 18 years old. You should know that it's not easy to find an actress with the right appearance and temperament and good acting skills in this age group." Lucas was not in a hurry, after all, there's still some time before the movie started.

“Can I recommend one?”

"Of course, everyone knows your vision in this regard."

"How is Nat?" Seeing the old man confused, Ryan explained, "My good friend, Natalie Portman." (To be continued.)
