China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 171 Handover between the old and the new and finalists [two-in-one]

Beijing Film Academy.

Sun Yi was honestly registering his personal information in the guard room.

The security guard on the side is on the phone.

"Well, okay, I understand, I'll let him in right now."

Putting down the phone, the security guard said to Sun Yi:

"Okay, don't sign in. Go in, put your car in the parking space, and ask your guide to get a pass as soon as possible. This will save you from being unable to get in in the future."

When Sun Yi heard this, he smiled and said, "Hey, hey, I got it."

This was the first time Sun Yi returned to school after buying a car, and he was immediately detained by the security guard at the door.

It didn't matter how he argued that he was a student of this school. He had to register and call the teacher to confirm.

Not accommodating at all.

It is said that recently many unknown luxury cars have frequently entered the campus to pick up and drop off female students from the performance department, which has caused a great negative impact on the school. Therefore, the school leaders require that the management of vehicle entry and exit be strengthened. Unidentified vehicles are not allowed to enter.

No, Sun Yi was also managed.

Originally, he had just finished the rough cut of "The Unknown" today and wanted to take a rest. Who knew that Teacher Tian Zhuang suddenly summoned him with a phone call.

What's even more annoying is that the old man didn't say anything on the phone and just asked him to come.

Sun Yi got in the car again, drove into the school, and went straight to the teaching building.

I parked my car and got into my seat in one go, put my satchel on my back, found the director's office with ease, and knocked on the door politely.

"Enter."

A voice came from the office.

Sun Yi opened the door gently, and then he saw an unshaven old man sitting at the desk by the window, looking at him through the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Sun Yi bowed slightly.

"Teacher Tian."

Tian Zhuang snorted softly, "Well, your boy is here."

Sun Yi quickly stood up straight and said in an extremely serious tone:

"Teacher Tian has called you. Don't you dare disobey."

Tian Zhuang chuckled and took off his glasses.

"It's not bad, your mouth is still so sweet. Sit down. Why, I have to treat you, old man."

"Hey, hey, that's good."

As soon as Sun Yi sat down, he immediately took out a tin tube the size of a thermos cup from his bag and handed it to Tian Zhuang with a smile.

Tian Zhuang took the thing, his eyes were fascinated, and he joked:
"Hey, you sent a gift to the old man. He is trying to be courteous for nothing. He is either raping or stealing. I can tell you in advance. Old man, I am just a teacher. I have a bad temper, but I can't help you, a great director."

"Tsk, Teacher Tian, ​​who do you think I am? I'm just going out of town for a show, so I can bring you some souvenirs. It's nothing. You open it first and see if you like it."

Faced with Sun Yi's temptation, Tian Zhuang also became somewhat interested in the inconspicuous little tube in front of him. He picked it up and looked at it twice.

not heavy.

Shake gently twice.

The rhythmic sound of "sand" and "sand" reached my ears.

Sounds great!

"tea?"

"Uh-huh."

After hearing Sun Yi's affirmative answer, Tian Zhuang nodded and asked again:
"Then can I open it?"

"This is for you, open it."

Tian Zhuang twisted it but didn't open it.

Pretty tight.

Added more strength.

With a "pop" sound, the lid opened.

A refreshing fragrance that penetrates the heart and lungs hits your face.

Tian Zhuang poured some out and put it in his hand, staring at it.

The shape of the tea leaves is tightly knotted, slender and curly, and the color is emerald green.

"Mao Jian?"

Sun Yi nodded.

"Hey, that's right, you're making a detailed guess."

Tian Zhuang looked puzzled. He plucked the tea leaves twice with his other hand, then brought it up to his nose and sniffed it vigorously. Thinking of Sun Yi going to Qiannan to film a movie, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked tentatively:
"Duyun Maojian?"

"Ah."

"The one nominated by the chairman himself?"

"Oh, I didn't realize it, but you are still an expert."

Sun Yi gave Tian Zhuang a thumbs up.

Despite its inconspicuous appearance, this was the most authentic Duyun Maojian he bought through a favor during filming in Duyun. He only bought five cans. In addition to the one he gave to Uncle Zhang on set, he also brought back four cans. , one jar is given to Comrade Lao Sun, one jar is planned to be given to Director Han when the opportunity arises, and one jar is kept for himself. The last jar is the one in front of Tian Zhuang.

Duyun Maojian is one of the top ten famous teas in China. It was named by Chairman Mao himself in 1956. It is definitely considered to be the top grade tea.

"Okay, if you're interested, I'll accept it."

With that said, Tian Zhuang, as if he was afraid that Sun Yi would regret it, opened the drawer of his desk and put the tea in. Then he took out a key and locked the drawer.

The old naughty look made Sun Yi couldn't help but grin.

Originally, I was filial to his old man, and there was no such thing as going back on my word.

"By the way, Teacher Tian, ​​you called me today to tell me what happened."

"Oh, let's not be busy for now. How is the filming of your movie going?"

Speaking of this, Sun Yi became energetic and told Teacher Tian Zhuang the difficulties and solutions encountered during the filming of "The Unknown Man".

Tian Zhuang also used his many years of experience to help Sun Yi summarize from time to time.

Including some scene scheduling, camera position selection, etc.

The two chatted happily for a long time.

"The film is finished shooting, how is the editing going?"

"Oh, the rough cut of the first version has been completed. I just happened to bring it with me. Teacher, can you take a look and give me some advice?"

When Sun Yi received a call from Teacher Tian Zhuang before, he thought it must be related to the movie "The Unknown Man", so he directly brought over the first rough cut of the material.

As he said that, he took out a hard drive from his bag. This was a backup version of the rough cut.

Tian Zhuang was also very interested, rubbed his hands and said:

"Okay, okay, come on."

Then he stood up and asked Sun Yi to follow him.

As the director of the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy, he has a special filming room, which is right next door to his office.

An old man and a young man entered the pull-out room and started watching.

The editing sequence in the later stages of a movie is generally in the order of rough cut, fine cut, and final cut.

A rough cut is usually a version in which all the shots shot on location are stitched together in story script order or shooting time order, with basically no excessive "editing" operations.

It is generally used to evaluate whether the film's rhythm and actor performance are in place, to see if it is necessary to activate or add backup materials, that is, reshoots, and is also used for test screenings or market research.

Sun Yi's rough cut is completely arranged in the order of the characters. The editing of the multi-line narrative has not yet started. The overall time is also very long, more than three hours.

If an ordinary movie fan sits in a cinema and watches a movie for three hours, he will definitely feel dizzy, but for a professional director, it will last for three hours.

Sprinkle water, it's just a small thing.

time flies.

After reading it, Tian Zhuang rubbed his aching eyes and sighed.

"I can't do it anymore. I'm getting old after all. Back then, I was in the editing room and stayed there all day. Now it's been more than three hours and I already feel sore and backache."

"No way, you are getting older and stronger now."

"You know your own body well, and when you get old, you get old."

Sun Yi smiled and said nothing.Tian Zhuang put one hand on his waist and made a gesture to stand up. Sun Yi quickly stepped forward and gave him a hand.

"Come on, come take a walk with this old man like me downstairs."

"okay."

Behind the BJ teaching building is a small garden. It happens to be April, and the eyes are full of fresh green. An old man and a young man are walking among the green trees and grass, looking quite leisurely.

"Based on the previous script, your movie should be planned to have a multi-line narrative. Tell me, how do you plan to edit it next?"

This is to test me.

"Teacher Tian, ​​this is what I think. The movie takes place in one day, and the clue throughout the whole movie is the 'lost gun'. I plan to use the timeline as the basis and use the method to find the 'gun' clue." Show it step by step to advance the story and connect the plots of each character."

"Well, that's right. You have a very deep understanding of multi-line narratives. I have nothing more to teach you on this point."

As he spoke, Tian Zhuang paused, raised a finger, and continued:

"There's just one thing. You have to pay attention. I see that most of your rough cuts are close-ups, and there are relatively few wide-angle lenses. I suggest that you use wide-angle lenses when switching between multi-line narrative scenes. Do you know why? ?”

"hiss"

Sun Yi lowered his head and thought.

Close-ups are known for their immersive nature, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the scene, relate to it, and feel like they are a participant in the film.

The wide-angle lens can remove the audience from the film and transform them from participants into observers, which is a "God's perspective" mode.

Understood.

"Teacher Tian, ​​the wide-angle lens allows the audience to change the original narrative perspective and transition to the next scene emotionally naturally. There will be no abrupt feeling."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Tian Zhuang looked like a child who could be taught. No matter how satisfied he was with Sun Yi now.

"There's nothing else. To be honest, kid, you exceeded my expectations. This movie is very complete. It really doesn't look like it was made by a new director. It's very mature in every aspect."

Sun Yi smiled modestly and replied:
"Teacher Tian, ​​when I was the assistant director in "Those Years", you taught me a lot. After all, I need to improve a bit, right?"

Tian Zang waved his hands and spoke sincerely.

"It's different. For directing, it's not very useful to rely on step-by-step teaching. It relies more on one's understanding. No matter how well you master other shooting techniques, it's just a matter of increasing your craftsmanship. You can't improve it." Countertop.”

Sun Yi actually disagreed with Teacher Tian's words from the bottom of his heart, but he did not refute it. In a sense, a crafty director can completely contribute to the audience as long as he chooses the subject well and does not waste himself. Make an excellent commercial movie.

The pursuit of movies by the older and fifth-generation directors is still art first.

But he also understands Teacher Tian Zhuang’s pursuit of film art.

The education these fifth-generation directors have received and the past they are proud of, including the honors they have received, are all obtained in this way.

Therefore, they will believe that art movies are the truth.

However, times have changed now, and it will be commercial films that will shine in Chinese films in the future.

Just like the different versions of gods in the game, if you go against the planner, there will be no good results.

Tian Zhuang slowed down and glanced at Sun Yi from the corner of his eye, as if he could read Sun Yi's mind.

"You kid must think I'm a stubborn old man who still clings to literary and artistic films."

Sun Yi lowered his head and pursed his lips, smiling without making a sound, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"Literary films and commercial films are all films. I think they are interoperable. Who says that commercial productions cannot capture the art of photography. There is no such truth. The key lies in the director."

Sun Yi's eyes widened in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Tianzhuang still has this consciousness and is not a conservative and incomplete person.

Seeing Sun Yi's surprised look, Tian Zhuang shook his head mockingly and said with a smile:
"Just like what I told you last time, our generation is already old and cannot change. Therefore, the hope of Chinese movies lies with the young people of your generation. I hope you, especially you, will not overcorrect or be black and white. , don’t classify it as commercial or literary, as long as the audience likes it, can make the audience sigh ‘not bad’ after watching it, and can feel the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in the movie, then it is a good movie.”

"This is the responsibility we, as directors, have to bear."

After hearing this, Sun Yi understood the intention of Teacher Tian Zhuang's words.

This is to hope that he will not be limited to commercial films and literary films in the future, and always bear in mind the principle that the audience comes first.

Sun Yi nodded solemnly and called Teacher sincerely.

"Teacher, I understand."

"Well, through this film, your directing style has almost matured. Whether you can fly high in the future depends on you."

The two of them said nothing and continued walking in the small garden.

Tianzhuang walked under the mottled shade of trees, while Sun Yi faced the scorching sun. One old and one young, the sun and shadow seemed to be the handover of an era.

After walking around in a circle, Sun Yi sent Teacher Tian back to the office.

"By the way, you have to set aside half a month next month to go out with me."

"Ah, where are you going?"

Sun Yi asked curiously.

"Go abroad."

going abroad?

Sun Yi blinked his eyes, then suddenly realized something and asked tentatively.

"Teacher Tian, ​​you mean"

Tian Zhuang said "hmm" and then took out a document from the drawer.

Sun Yi quickly took it and was dumbfounded when he saw it.

All in English.

I don’t know most of them.

Sun Yi raised his eyes and looked at Tian Zang, but the latter acted as if nothing had happened. He folded his hands on his chest, shook his head and closed his eyes, dozing off.

Damn, this old man did it on purpose.

How can I say Sun Yi's English? It is completely within the ordinary English level 20 standard under domestic education, and it is the kind that he has not used in nearly [-] years.

Simple daily communication is okay, but it is really difficult for him to read this kind of document that is full of English.

I have no choice but to guess the content through some words I know.

Look at the name.

“Beijing Film Academy”

Oh, he knows this, it’s the Beijing Film Academy.

Look down.

""the tuner""

tuner!
Seeing this, Sun Yi ignored it and looked at the last signature.

“Cannes International Film Festival”

International, Film, Festival, I don’t know the first one.

International Film Festival.

"Cannes International Film Festival?"

Seeing that Sun Yi had guessed the answer, Tian Zhuang stopped teasing him and nodded with a smile.

"Your short film "The Tuner" has been shortlisted and can be screened at the film festival, which means it has a chance of entering the final awards section."

Sun Yi waved his fist excitedly.

"While there are still more than 20 days left, hurry up and learn English quickly, so that you don't understand everything by then."

Sun Yi chuckled.

"Hey, aren't you still here? Can you just translate it for me when the time comes?"

"I don't have that spare time. Young people are not motivated at all. Okay, let's go quickly. Don't be an eyesore to me."

If Tian Zhuang hadn't gone too far by blowing his beard and staring, Sun Yi wouldn't have thought of it.

You don’t even know English when it comes to feelings!
After driving away from the Beijing Film Academy, as soon as Sun Yi returned to the studio, Xiaoting walked up and whispered a few words to him.

Sun Yi was stunned when he heard this.

Why is he here?

　Ask for recommendations, ask for monthly tickets, ask for subscriptions.

　　Thank you!
