Chapter 61 Xu Haofeng's Directing Lesson

Li Jingkun said: "In fact, my views on movies are divided into stages. For a while, I thought that telling a good story, telling a logical, well-organized, and interesting story can be regarded as a good movie."

Xu Haofeng said: "It's very simple and clear, a good movie can tell a good story."

"Yes, because I think there are many bad movies, many bad movies, and it doesn't even make sense to a basic story, so how can it be considered a good movie. So I firmly believed at the time that we The most basic and most important thing to make a good movie is to tell the story first, and then talk about other things.”

Xu Haofeng nodded: "Continue."

"But there are some movies later that changed my opinion. Even a good movie doesn't have to tell a complete story, or it doesn't have to tell a very interesting or moving story. It can have other ways of expression.

For example, "Jurassic Park" is a movie made in the 90s. What kind of story does it tell?In fact, it's not very complicated or moving. It's just that someone resurrected the dinosaur, and then because the dinosaur fled around, it caused some riots and so on.

After watching this kind of movie, you forget its specific content. There is not much story at all, but you will think it is very good.

Because the special effects inside are so powerful, these dinosaurs are too realistic.So when this movie appeared, it shocked everyone. Many people who watched it thought that the dinosaurs in it were real.

Similar to "Transformers", the main selling point is also special effects.It attracts the audience with realistic special effects and huge scenes, so this category is also a good movie.

So if we expand it like this, there are actually many ways of expressing good movies, which requires the creators to find and take advantage of the advantages of this way, so as to make it a good movie. "

Xu Haofeng thought for a while and said, "So these are all views on commercial films?"

Li Jingkun said: "Actually, I don't have commercial films or literary films, or I think that most audiences don't really care whether it is a commercial film or a literary film; what they care about is whether it is a good-looking movie. Whether it is entertaining or not. Can you let me watch it happily and enjoy it.

If it is a literary film, it is very touching and interesting, the story is not dull, and it is thoughtful and spiritual.We don't mind enjoying it. "

Xu Haofeng nodded.

Li Jingkun continued: "However, many creators who make literary films misunderstand the characteristics of literary films, thinking that literary films are dull, depressing, human, uncomfortable, painful, etc., so they lean on this side.

As a result, many domestic viewers don't want to watch it when they see the title of a literary film.After the box office is not good, we say that our audience is impetuous and unable to appreciate thoughtful movies.In fact, there is a high probability that the movie was shot badly. "

Xu Haofeng smiled, and some students also laughed.But enough has been said.Xu Haofeng also roughly understood his views on good movies, so he began to summarize his speech.

"It's well told, so your point of view is that a movie can be thoughtful, but it must be told well so that most people can see it. There can also be many ways of expression. It can be based on interesting stories, special effects, or brains. Holes, relying on lines, etc., the premise is that it needs to be spoken well.”

"To sum it up, it's actually the content." Li Jingkun said, "Interesting content, no matter what form it is."

Xu Haofeng nodded, then let him sit down, and finally he said: "I watched one episode of that short play, and it was well filmed. Do you have a copy? If you have one, give me one too."

"Also, but I didn't bring it with me."

So far he has made two copies in total, one for Su Zhijun and one for Luo Fat.But if Xu Haofeng wanted it, he could get another one.

"Bring me one tomorrow."

"Ok."

Today's class still caused a lot of topics. At the beginning, when Li Jingkun stood up and talked freely, many people looked at him with admiration.Unexpectedly, he was praised by Xu Haofeng later, and asked him to watch the movie.

Many people want to know how this person who is so good at beeping is like in the videos he made.

As a result, several other students in the class also wanted to attend the premiere, and Fang Weida, who fell out with them, was of course not so cheeky.Although Yang Hailong was also very curious, he still resisted the urge to join them.

More than a dozen people came that night, and of course there were not enough chairs, so I bought some chairs while buying snacks.

Cai Wenwen brought three girls together, enjoying the treatment of the stars.

The other female characters in the crew are not from the school, and there is no need to invite them specially, so it is good that she brought her friends along, otherwise she would feel embarrassed if she is the only girl, right?

"The real one looks handsome too."

"Yes, it is more than enough for us Wenwen."

"Get out, bring you to complain about me? You can't stop your mouths if you have something to eat!"

There are a lot of people, it seems a bit crowded and noisy, but everyone likes the atmosphere very much.Very relaxed and comfortable.

Everyone is young, with unlimited possibilities; life is not bad, and they go to prestigious schools, and the future is worth looking forward to, so talking and laughing is very beautiful.

"The story is okay, but you have to shoot for about 12 minutes, so don't have too many narrations, right? You still have to rely on the performances of the actors to advance the story." Wang Yang was discussing another project with others.

"I'm afraid I don't understand clearly, and a few more narrations shouldn't affect it?" This is another student from the director department.

"It also depends on how you use it. If you want to rely on narration to explain the plot, it won't work."

After a while, several boys including Li Jingkun and Guo Junli brought up some things: two boxes of beer, chicken feet, squid, peanuts and other food.

It's totally turned into a little party.

Hey, how long has it been like this? He often held similar events in high school, but rarely after college.

"Restraint, seeing the atmosphere is so good, let's have some wine to celebrate and relax, but don't drink too much." Li Jingkun said.

"It's not much, so many of us can't drink two boxes."

There are always good people who want to make a fuss, and there are beautiful women around, so they always want to show their pride.

But this is normal male psychology, of course Li Jingkun wouldn't mind, and asked everyone to pour wine, and everyone had a toast first.

"Let me emphasize, don't try to persuade you to drink, we just drink something as a spice, don't force what you don't want or can't drink - what do the lesbians say? Want a drink?"

Cai Wenwen said: "One cup is enough, how about I drink two cups for you?"

"Oh!" Everyone booed.I didn't expect it to be so powerful at the beginning, and it was started by a girl.

It feels like there are signs, is this an opportunity to give boys a chance to make mistakes?
