My girlfriend is from the future!

Chapter 86 No.30 Chapter [-] He Became the Center of the Crowd

Just asked for a signature, but was told to refuse to enter the examination room?

Not only He Tianran, but all the examinees in their group were silent, and those unlucky ones stood still, feeling ashamed and indignant.

"What kind of place do you think of the Film Academy? The airport or the square? Let me tell you, this is the examination room! The examination room of the Film Academy! The moment you walk into the school, you have already started the exam. I hope you can understand that this is the place that represents Hong Kong. City, representing China, and even the top film school in Asia, we don’t need a director who will go out of our school in the future, his perspective is looking up.”

The teaching assistant raised his eyebrows and slammed beans in his mouth like a bamboo tube, making the people on the opposite side dumbfounded and ashamed.

At the end, those few unlucky eggplants, holding the money in a disheveled manner, bowed their heads and walked out.

Outside the examination room, the candidates in the same group looked at them, sighing.

"Candidates present, please remember that you are taking the exam for the director department, and you are directors who may direct hundreds of people in the crew in the future! You are taking millions, tens of millions, or even more than [-] million investors to produce a movie. Director of the movie, you are the backbone of a group of people, if you don’t have the slightest courage and heart, then I advise everyone to go home early!”

He Ranran was speechless inwardly. He had heard that all the students of the Film Academy were extremely arrogant. It turned out that this is the school's ethos!
This kind of self-proclaimed and suspected big talk He Tianran is naturally reasonable to listen to, but once the three of them leave, there are only seven people left in their group. For this group of people, there are more performances. Opportunity is also a good thing, and it is worth listening to the school's admonitions.

There were five teachers presiding over the exam, and the youngest looked to be in their forties or close to their fifties. This group of old men looked so powerful without being angry. The teaching assistant who broke out in thunderous anger just now could only be regarded as a younger brother in front of them. , After entering the examination room, I can only sit in the corner to help take notes, and also record the examination video.

Everyone entered the examination room and sat down one by one.

Before entering the examination room, none of the candidates in this group of directors knew what the interview was going to be. He Tianran heard from the teacher of the training class that once his students were even asked how old they were when they fought when they were young. This kind of problem.

What does fighting have to do with the director?
Of course it has something to do with it. When directing a play, the director must analyze what the fight means to the character and what kind of psychology it is. Only by experiencing it personally can he communicate better with the actors and the scenes he shoots will be more convincing. and contagiousness.

However, this kind of question is more often asked during self-introduction. After everyone has introduced themselves, the next test questions are the most important.

This kind of interview in the director department does not use a single question, but a group discussion on a question.

The scientific method of this test is that it not only examines the talent and ability of each candidate, but more importantly, it can observe each person's psychological quality and communication ability, as well as language and body control on specific occasions.

As a director, it is very important whether he has leadership qualities and whether he can lead a crew of several hundred people towards the same work goal.

An introverted person who lacks passion and expresses himself may become a poet or a writer, but he will definitely not be a successful director.

Therefore, in such an exam, whether you can stand out from the crowd and become the center of everyone's discussion is the most correct posture to pass this interview.

The previous He Tianran obviously didn't have such a talent.

At this time, the old man with a goatee sitting in the middle of the examiner's table said simply: "Let's start, introduce yourself first."

He picked up the hot tea on the table and blew on it, then took a sip.

The old man didn't say who to start with. The candidates all looked at each other left and right. One candidate sitting in the middle and facing the old man got up first to grab the opportunity of introduction.

Introducing yourself, no matter how good the introduction is, there will be no gimmicks, and the teachers of the directing department will not admit you because of your name or where you are from.

What they want is the investigation of sensibility and life cognition. They want to have their own unique and personal life experience. If you study crazily, then basically you will miss the directing department.

He Tianran understood this, so he thought about it while the first few people introduced themselves, and when it was his turn, he calmly introduced that he was born in a wealthy family, but because of his parents' relationship, he had an introverted personality, but Because of something that happened half a year ago, he has a brand new self now. In order not to walk on the road paved by his father, he has already lost contact with his family. Now, he is working alone in a bar to support himself, which is considered a part-time job. half read.

Except for concealing the matter of September and his father's identity, he spoke directly about the rest of the matter, and this experience happened at his age, which is indeed rare, and during the period, the teacher also asked him about the daily life of working in a bar. Some of the situations, He Tianran answered fluently, which also perfectly supported his speech.

The examiners liked his self-introduction very much. It mainly captured the key points of a wealthy family, family discord, and part-time work and part-study, and the source of all these pointed to the change in his personality.

This is the growth of life, and it is something that every director will shoot and care about in the future.

"You said that your personality changed, but you refused to say how. Student He, you can't just make up a story to deceive us on purpose, right?"

The old man with the goatee deliberately provoked He Ranran's nerves.

"The essence of being a director is telling stories, isn't it? If I made it up on the spot, the teachers should give me extra points~"

He Tianran took advantage of his strength and made a joke with a smile. He also knew that on such an occasion, it was enough to keep the joke up to the point and not go too far, so he added:

"Just kidding, teachers. This is my real experience, please forgive me for not being able to say it, because it is my precious memory, and I don't plan to share it, but what I said just now, my bar owner, my classmates, even Even my class teacher can prove for me that what I said is true."

He spoke clearly, without any timidity, and several examiners exchanged glances.

If someone else was standing in this examination room, and the old man with a goatee asked him this question, there was nothing he was hiding, so he hurriedly said it, and maybe he would get extra points!

But this kid didn't agree, he even made jokes, and finally aroused the curiosity of the examiners, making them all fall in love with this kid.

Although He Tianran pretended not to look sideways, he still clearly felt the strangeness in the eyes of the other candidates when they looked at him.

The examiner present was also a mature and prudent person, and his face did not reveal much information. After everyone introduced themselves, the teaching assistant turned on the speaker in the examination room.

"The next thing is the first question of the second test. Here is a piece of music. Let's listen carefully and share our opinions."

Connect the mobile phone to the prepared external speaker, and a piece of flamenco-style music suddenly comes out. The dense drum beats and the superb guitar performance can easily remind people of a dancing gypsy girl. Fortunately, she still has red hair and a plump white chest, and after singing and dancing, she rolls into the arms of the group of rude sailors, laughing and drinking that inferior vodka.

Candidates began to express their opinions again, commenting on this piece of music, trying to recover the lost points just now.

A female teacher said: "Tell me about this piece of music, what kind of picture is suitable for it."

"Of course it's the kind of segment when you're in love."

"Agreed, the kind of love at first sight in the road movie, and the relationship between the hero and the heroine rises instantly, which is very suitable at this time."

"The action movie is also good, with fast-paced editing, stepping on the music point, clean and neat."

Candidates expressed their opinions, and some of them got red-faced because they argued about what seemed to be the same point of view.

""Guitar on Fire" is a passionate song. The main tone of the flamenco style is romance and passion, but romance does not necessarily mean love."

He Tianran said lightly: "The word 'flamenco' means 'wanderer' in Arabic, so I agree with the idea of ​​a road movie that a classmate said before, but it should not be limited to love, because' The word "vagrant" itself has a bit of romantic color."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone looked at him. He Tianran not only said the name of the song, but also the meaning of the style of the song. He rubbed his chin and said slowly:

"If I were the director, I might use this song to express a person's contemplation..."

The examinee who was confined to "love" by He Tianran retorted, "No, what's so romantic about contemplation?"

He Tianran pointed to his head:
"Meditation can be sitting in front of the computer and typing, or solving a world problem in the laboratory. The protagonist will progress very smoothly, because as soon as the song plays, the audience can know the infinite inspiration bursting out of his mind. The excitement is to create a sense of anticipation for the audience, how to write the article, how to solve the problem, this is a romantic romance."

"It is also suitable for soft sci-fi, like "Cowboy Bebop". When the airship sails in the sea of ​​stars and faces endless unknown areas, it shows not fear, but passion and excitement, the sea of ​​stars, and the romance of men."

He shrugged and asked back: "Student, do you dare to say that these are not romantic? Are there no sense of pictures?"

In the two sentences of He Tianran, the former is a way of presenting dynamics and supporting statics. The boy breaks the stereotype of thinking and uses people's hearing to convey information; alienation in space.

No matter which one it is, it proves that He Tianran has already possessed considerable film thinking and artistic thinking at this time, and it is a very clever method.

The examinee who tried to argue with him faltered for a while, but finally didn't think of how to refute He Tianran's words.

"Student He, do you know this song?" The female teacher asked with a smile.

The boy nodded: "I know, Alex Fox who played this piece is the only flamenco master in my heart. To be honest, I can still play it. When I practiced this piece, I broke a lot of strings. It's a pity. I didn’t bring a guitar today, or I’ll show you off.”

The female teacher looked at He Tianran and nodded with satisfaction.

The goatee old man asked at this time: "Young man, how many relationships did you have last year?"

"Two...two paragraphs."

He Tianran didn't stop the car for a while, and the corners of the invigilators' mouths twitched slightly.

With He Tianran's "romantic theory" opening up, it would be meaningless for the rest of the people to discuss it.

If the first question of music is to test the students' ability to associate, then the second question of video is to test the basic skills of the director. First, play a video, about a hundred or so shots, and then let the students watch it again, and then let everyone one by one Start turning your back on the camera.

When reciting, in addition to telling the content of each shot, it is better to tell the scene and the length of the shot.

As soon as the video was played, everyone rushed to recite it first. No one is stupid. The longer you delay memorizing this kind of thing, the more you forget it.

Since the footage of the screened film is very fragmented, the rhythm is fast, and the scene and content must be memorized, so no one present can tell the specific number of shots.

So far, the number of shots reported by some candidates is 243, which is relatively close. In addition, he can completely retell 23 shots, which is a very good result.

Only He Tianran didn't recite, the boy closed his eyes, wrapped the bracelet in his hand, and didn't make a sound.

Some schadenfreude laughter sounded softly among the candidates. Everyone thought that it was too long since he had forgotten all about it.

Who made him so showy just now? Everyone has jealousy.

At this time, return the bracelet?
What about trouble?

And when the goatee old man saw He Tianran playing with the bracelet, his eyes were a little wrong, and he whispered:

"Alright?"

He Ranran nodded: "Well, teacher, there are a total of 287 shots."

The old man with the goatee squinted his eyes and smiled, "Correct."

The examinees were in an uproar, and anyone could count the shots, but the trouble was that either the film was too long, and one or two would be missed when counting, or it was just like this film, the pace was so fast that it was impossible to count.

How did he not miss one?

The old man with the goatee glanced around the candidates, and said seriously: "Others don't know about cheating in front of you, and there is still time to gloat over others' misfortune. You should reflect on yourself."

He Ranran stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, wrapped his hands around the string twice before putting it back on his wrist.

The rosary was originally a portable instrument used by monks to count numbers.

Of course, He Tianran has practiced the basic skill of counting shots, but his habit is to count with rosary beads while watching. Otherwise, how did the glossy glass bottom coating come from?

"You, you can't score."

The old man with the goatee was smiling.

It can be seen that the old man is in a good mood when facing He Tianran. This question can be big or small. After all, this question focuses on the content of the camera, and He Tianran has nothing to say when he is caught.

But because He Tianran only needs to memorize the number of laps of the rosary beads rather than the total number of shots, so he has more attention to focus on the content of the shots. He began to recite one by one according to memory:
"The first shot, starting from the pupil of the human eye, close-up, half a second."

"..."

"No.30 has eight shots, a panorama of the grassland, this is the longest shot in the whole film, about five seconds long."

In the end, when He Tianran had memorized No. 40 shots, he finally made a mistake, and the female teacher interrupted him.

"It's ok, 39, it's excellent, and some senior students may not be able to memorize so many."

Several colleagues around her nodded in agreement, and the old man with the goatee also announced:

"Okay, everyone's re-examination for the director department is over. Please pay attention to the school's official website on the day when the rankings are released. The students who made the list that day remember to bring their ID cards and admission tickets for the second exam to go through the procedures for the final exam. That's it for today. Go back and wait for the news."

The examinees stood up from their chairs and bowed slightly. After an exam, the examiners looked a lot more friendly and greeted everyone with smiles, but anyone with sharp eyes would notice one detail, that is, the eyes of these teachers. It will always fall on the same person.

In the past, He Tianran didn't have the talent to attract attention.

But now he has become the center of the crowd.
