21 - Ratings and Trials

The North American film market has a strict rating system. According to the rating system of the American Film Association, the classification and rating management committee under the association, which is what everyone calls the MPAA, is responsible for rating movies.

This MPAA is not as fair as everyone imagines. Although his judges are anonymous, a normal person knows that the MPAA seat is controlled by several giants.

He knew that the large-scale shots he retained were definitely not overestimated, but if he was the one who sent the film to rating instead of some influential film companies, he might as well give him an R-rated film.

PG--Level: Children under the age of 13 need to be guided by their parents when watching this video. Most old ladies feel embarrassed by this video, but they do not feel horrible or hated.

R---Level: There is no custody of adults, and children under the age of 17 are prohibited from watching such movies. This type of movie is mostly moderate violence, some obscene pornographic images, occasionally rude language, and some obscene dialogues. If the teenagers ask the old lady to watch this movie together, they will inevitably be scolded and scolded.

Although these two types of videos seem to be next to each other, the audience varies greatly. If someone really throws them into an R-level movie with his feet, Wayne will cry to death.

After the dinner, he returned to the apartment thinking about this. Now his only way is to wait for the distribution company to buy or release the film, and use the distribution company's channels to invest in the MPAA to rate the film.

The next morning, Wayne invited his agent Jimmy, Naomi and Luke to bring the cut video together and returned to Southern California University. Professor Anderson had made an appointment with him to watch his new film together.

When he brought Naomi to the school parking lot, Jimmy and Luke were already chatting and waiting for him.

"Luke, is the film OK?"

The first thing he cared about was the film Luke brought. He made two copies in total, one where Luke was used for screening, and the other was deposited in the bank.

"Don't worry, there will be no accidents when the screening will be displayed."

Luke was also very excited. He devoted a lot of effort to this film, which was the first time that it was open to the public, even if there were only a few viewers.

He nodded with satisfaction and looked at Jimmy. He invited his agent to watch the film. Wayne was to give him confidence. He needed to launch his own relationship network in the future to help Wayne watch the film crew and the buyers of the film company. If the film quality is very good, it is not ruled out that he would use the relationship of caa.

Jimmy greeted him but didn't say anything. He understood Wayne's meaning, but the premise was that the quality of the film must impress him first. Only when the quality was guaranteed can he report to the company and use the relationship network of Hollywood's largest brokerage company.

So now no matter how much he says to Jimmy, it will be useless. After watching the movie, everything will be concluded.

After saying hello, he and Luke carried the film together, took Naomi and Jimmy, and walked directly to the small screening classroom that they had made an appointment with Professor Anderson.

What he didn't expect was that Professor Anderson was waiting for the screening classroom, and seven or eight Wayne's classmates were also waiting for them. He didn't care about them and hugged the professor first.

"Teacher, I've brought the film. I've just finished post-production. You can take a look first. I'm going to take it to the St. Dennis Film Festival after Christmas."

Professor Anderson looked at Wayne in front of him and was obviously thinner. It seemed that he had paid a lot to make this video. He patted his shoulder and said proudly:

"Of course, if you can finish him in such a short time, it means you're doing a good job. I wasn't going to invite my classmates to come, but when you called me, Adam and Joey were there, so they came by themselves. Do you mind?"

He did not make the teacher embarrassed. Professor Anderson was not just a student, and Wayne didn't mind others seeing the film first. His purpose of filming the film was to show it to others.

"Of course it's okay, teacher. Luke, you go to the screening, isn't it?"

Seeing Luke nodding and going to the back screening room alone to prepare, he sat in the front row with Professor Anderson with confidence. These were so easy for Luke. In this screening classroom, Luke had screened countless experimental short films when he was in school.

Naomi and Jimmy didn't say anything. Seeing that Wayne didn't introduce them, he didn't say hello to the professor. They sat in the front row together, waiting for the screening to begin.

As the lights dimmed, Adam, who was sitting in the middle, looked at the people in the first row with an ugly face. Wayne never looked at him since entering the classroom. He was like a ball of air to Adam, completely ignoring him.

He greeted the students who came here to watch the movie today. Yesterday, he was at Professor Anderson's place and asked the professor to help him revise the short film. He heard the agreement between Wayne and the professor, and when he returned, he told all the students about this.

He and Wayne have been in conflict for more than three years and have never embarrassed each other once, so he felt that this was an opportunity. Adam's father is an executive of Hollywood giant Universal Pictures. He knew that it was difficult to make a feature film, which was not a task they could complete now. Today would definitely be an opportunity to embarrass Wayne.

Wayne looked back and didn't notice who was watching his film, but saw Luke gesture to him, indicating that he was ready. He replied with an OK gesture and asked Luke to start the screening.

The old projector clicks, and a line of letters is displayed on the curtain: Wayne Greenberg's work. Then the movie begins with the protagonist Tylie awakening and entering the official story.

Wayne was not very focused on the screen. He knew very well what the film looked like. He watched the teacher watching the movie seriously, and he was confused about the follow-up plan.

Everyone was watching the video seriously, no one spoke, including Jimmy and Naomi. Jimmy unconsciously sat upright three minutes from the beginning of the video, staring at the screen without blinking.

This movie was much better than he thought, especially when Tylie was stabbed to death by blood for the first time. He was almost shocked when he heard the students sitting in the back row and burst into screams.

Well, as a horror movie, it has basically passed the qualification here. As the story slowly develops, there are many cold jokes to relieve the audience's emotions. But every time Tylie can't escape the fate of being stabbed to death, it will hold back the suspense.

In less than a hundred minutes of screening, Jimmy hardly heard anyone chatting and talking except for the exclamations behind him, which shows that the film can stick to the audience. He himself was also attracted by the plot of the movie and followed the protagonist in the plot to find the answer.

Naomi felt another way. From the first minute of the film, she hugged the director's arm. She saw herself appearing on the screen as the protagonist for the first time, but she didn't expect Wayne to shoot her so beautifully.

When the film was halfway through, she couldn't help but shed tears. Naomi believed that as long as the film was willing to be released by a company, she would definitely get rid of the situation where this supporting character could not get. She hugged Wayne's arm tightly.

On all Hollywood theater screens, the director is much dim compared to successful star actors.

However, the fact is just the opposite. Following the director is a universal value of film and television production. Looking at the more than a hundred years since the film was filmed, the real film leader has always been a director.

Without directors like George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, and Francesco Coppola, it can be said that there would be no such era of golden movies today.

Naomi has been gambling. If this young director is really successful, she just needs to hold his arm tightly and believe that she can follow the ship and walk further together.

As the movie ended, the male and female protagonists kissed each other, because Wayne did not make short films at all, and the curtain directly returned to black. With a click, the old projector stopped working and the lights in the classroom also lit up.

Professor Anderson turned around and looked at the child who had been self-disciplined and hardworking, and clapped his palms hard. Jimmy and Naomi also stood up and applauded him. Gradually, several classmates in the back row clapped their hands with them.

The applause stopped, Wayne stood in front, bowed gently to everyone, and said thank you loudly. At this moment, he also felt a lot. Adam looked at Wayne in front of the screen and frowned deeply. This was definitely not the result he wanted.

Looking at the blonde beauty, holding Wayne's arm tightly, he recognized that she was the heroine in the movie. Damn, why could he get everything easily? While everyone was not paying attention, Adam walked out of the classroom silently.

Adam left the classroom in anger and kicked the oak on the roadside hard. Katie only had a month of friendship with him, and then he kicked Katie. The promised heroine and the arrangements after graduation were naturally gone. Since she could not use her ex-girlfriend to hit Wayne, then she had no meaning of existence. Hollywood turned her back on her pants and turned her back on her face. He did a very good job.

Looking at the actress beside Wayne, he could no longer help but feel anger in his heart. Why are the good things all his belongings, and kept saying the words "F" in his mouth and driving into the car and out of school. Didn't he want to release his own feature film? It's never easy to send the film to the theater for screening. He would know that Hollywood could never be a paradise for novice directors.

Wayne didn't notice that anyone left early. His work over the past few months made him not take Adam at all. His current vision was much further than when he was in school.

After the classmates congratulated him, several people came to Professor Anderson's office together.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

He and everyone looked at the professor with a gaze.

"No problem, it's even better than I thought. Wayne, you've completely shot the effect you expressed in the script. Although you can see that some techniques are a little immature, they definitely don't affect the viewing experience.

I didn't expect you to do so well. This film has clear selling points and smooth logic, which gives the audience the urge to sit in a position and stare at the screen. The growth of the protagonist and the description of love, friendship and family affection are brief and quick, which completely sets off the final theme, which is very good.

Of course, I'm glad you didn't over-use your own style. Although there were some bloody large-scale shots, you did a good job and didn't turn this film into a cult film. The moderate black style is more suitable for this film. Overall, it's a very good horror film."

Everyone sitting on the sofa laughed slowly when they heard the professor's praise. Even Jimmy, who had been silent, laughed with her.

Jimmy knew that his chance had come.
