China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 89 Want to be a director [[-]-in-[-]]

Tian Zhuang noticed Sun Yi's gaze and didn't care.

Young people are still a little green.

He coughed lightly "cough" and "cough" twice and began to express his opinions.

"Youth movies are relatively easy to make and easily attract audiences. The reason is that they allow almost everyone to find their own shadow and resonance in the movie."

"But for Sun Yi's script, in my opinion, there is still a lack of depth. Personally, I still like scripts that can delve deeper into the characters' spiritual world and convey a higher level of artistry. Of course, you should not take it too seriously. In my personal opinion, this book is generally qualified.”

After saying that, Tian Zhuang turned to look at Yu Feihong and asked.

"Xiaohong, you've seen it too. What do you think? Tell me what you think."

When Yu Feihong heard this, his square lips vomited slightly.

"Junior Brother Sun's script, I think, is pretty good. I really like the delicate and sincere emotions in it."

"I think every boy has his own 'Shen Jiayi' in his heart when he is in school. She has a good temperament, good study, good looks, and a good personality. There are a lot of people chasing her. And that The boys of that time were either timid and fearful and only dared to secretly like her, or they were extremely childish and tried their best to make trouble for each other."

Sun Yi's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Sister Yu understands this very well.

Director Tian Zhuang next to him chuckled and joked.

"Xiaohong, the 'Shen Jiayi' in every boy's heart you mentioned, is it the same as you when he was young?"

Yu Feihong didn't refute, just smiled shyly, and then elegantly flipped the hair beside her ear. With a calm but powerful tone, she slowly said to Director Tian Zhuang:
"Teacher Tian, ​​am I very old now?"

Tian Zhuang hurriedly waved his hands and denied:

"Well, not old, not old, not old at all."

"Pfft hahaha."

When everyone saw that the fields were shriveled, they all bloomed with joy.

Wang Jinsong also followed suit.

"Old Tian, ​​you deserve it."

Everyone laughed for a while and then continued to study the business.

Wang Jinsong made the decision first.

"Then this script is decided, just use "Those Years". As for the director, what do you say, Lao Tian?"

Tian Zhuang took off the other cigarettes behind his ears, smelled them gently, and spoke slowly:
"As for the director, this is what I think about. Our film will most likely go to theaters, and the director must be more mature. There are currently two candidates, the first is Wu Ershan, and Xiao Wu is an art director. Because of my background, I am more sensitive to colors and images. This script is about youth, so it needs sunny and bright colors, and Xiaowu is better at this."

"Well, indeed."

Wang Jinsong nodded in agreement.

"Also, there is Xiao Teng, Teng Huatao. He is a screenwriter in our Beijing Film and Television Literature Department. Although he is a later director, he has a good grasp of love themes, so he is also a good candidate."

"I'll contact them both and see if the time is feasible. If they don't have time, let Xiao Xue come on."

Tian Zhuang thought briefly and gave the candidate in his mind. After speaking, he raised his head and looked around. Suddenly he noticed Sun Yi sitting opposite, who was coquettishly hesitant to speak.

Curiously asked:
"What, Sun Yi, what do you think?"

What ideas could Sun Yi have?

I'd like to recommend myself.

When he heard several teachers researching directors, he suddenly thought about whether he could be a director, but he was too embarrassed to open his mouth. Now Tian Zhuang saw it and he admitted it generously.

"Director Tian, ​​do you think I can be the director?"

Worried that what he said was straightforward and lacked strength, Sun Yi quickly added:
"I have a relatively deep understanding of the entire script, and I have pictures of the specific shots in my mind, so I thought about giving it a try."

Seeing Sun Yi's sneer on his face, Tian Zhuang snorted and said:

"Young man, you haven't learned to walk yet, so you want to run away? You have a lot of ideas. Okay, show them to me."

Sun Yi actually prepared a split-shot script, but he was short of time and just drew a few pictures based on the main scenes.

Tian Zhuang took it and took a look. The detailed scene description, the layout and the scenes, including the characters in the picture, were all made to look presentable.There are just a few, only a few, but it can still be seen that Sun Yi put his heart into it.He frowned, put Sun Yi's drawings on the table, pointed at one of them, and asked:
"The split shots are pretty good, so tell me, just this shot, how are you going to shoot it?"

Sun Yi was a little confused when he heard this.

How else to take pictures?I've divided the shots for you, can't you just follow this and finish the shoot?

Then blurted out:

"This split shot is the final effect I want. Can't I just let the photographer shoot according to this?"

Hearing Sun Yi's words, Tian Zhuang suddenly became furious.

"That's nonsense. I've already done all the work as a photographer. What do you want a director to do? The movie is dynamic, so just draw a picture. Is it so easy to be a director now? Cats and dogs can do it?"

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he regretted a little. He realized that his answer was not the same thing as what Director Tian Zhuang asked.

Director Tian Zhuang asked the director how to shoot this scene specifically, which is a shooting technique.Sun Yi's first reaction was that it was the director's responsibility to handle this scene.

This is a different perspective on the problem. Tian Zhuang is the director himself. He first started from the director himself and asked about the specific shooting.

As one of the well-known fifth generation directors in China, Tian Zhuang is in the same batch as Guoshi and International Chen. His pursuit of film art is quite high, and he regards his position as director as sacred.

He believes that a director must have a solid foundation and be proficient in all aspects of the crew. He must also have an independent style and accurately express his own lens language.

Tian Zhuang asked about the specific shooting techniques to examine Sun Yi's foundation as a director. If you don't even understand the specific shooting techniques, how can you ask others to do so.

Sun Yi's answer was completely from the perspective of a layman or a non-professional director. He has not yet stepped into the role of director.

What he answered was, in his opinion, how a famous director should handle this scene.

Give your own shot script and tell the photographer that I want this effect.

No problem!

So what Sun Yi said is actually correct.The director's main responsibility in the play is organization and coordination. He is the leader of the crew, and his job is commonly known as "grabbing the boss."

There are specialties in the art industry, and every scene is shot by the director, so why do photographers need to do it? Do they have to work hard and get paid for nothing?He has experienced three crews one after another, and he understands all the big and small things, not to mention being proficient.

Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run yet?

Now the only thing left is to actually get started. Isn't "Those Years" in front of me an opportunity? With the support of the school, I can definitely practice it.

Moreover, he can make up all the scenes in the script, and then proceed according to the scenes.

However, Director Tian Zhuang still has traditional concepts and has very high requirements for directors, who must be proficient in all aspects.

Tian Zhuang's series of questions made him realize that his answers were wrong, and he also vaguely violated Tian Zhuang's taboo as a director.

No matter what industry, those who are outstanding will definitely look down on all kinds of bastards who come from different fields and change careers, do not work hard or even ruin the reputation of their own industry.

This is not the time for later generations of capital to intervene and for directors to fly all over the place.Nowadays, the position of director is still very sacred, and one must have something real in hand.

Sun Yi frowned and looked at the shots he drew. He recalled the shooting techniques he had learned from the crew before and began to deduce them carefully based on his own understanding.

The script "Those Years" was written in a hurry and was not fully prepared. He had never thought about becoming a director before. He had not considered the specific shooting issues at all. He just happened to hear several teachers discussing the director's choice, and he had this idea in his mind. On a whim, I wondered if I should try it myself this time.

Tian Zhuang noticed this and suddenly asked such a question. He blurted out his answer. He didn't expect to make Tian Zhuang so excited and he had to make amends quickly.

I thought for a moment and confirmed twice that there was no problem before telling me my shooting plan.

Don’t call me Director Tian anymore, just call me Teacher Tian.

"Sorry, Teacher Tian, ​​you suddenly asked me just now, and I haven't thought about it yet. I've probably finished organizing it now. You can listen to it again and then give me some advice."

After saying that, Sun Yi had a solemn expression, stood up and faced everyone, opened his palms like a camera, and began to demonstrate to everyone.

"For this lens, I want to fix the focus and look at the camera position. For different shots, first take a half-length mid-range shot. First, push the shot, then change from the medium shot to the close-up shot, and then change the push shot to the shift shot, from the head-up camera position to the high camera position. Finally, the camera was fixed from a high position and the overhead shot was taken to give a 45% close-up of the protagonist's face. The actor's pure smile was shown on the screen."

Tian Zhuang frowned after hearing this, and immediately sat up straight. He picked up Sun Yi's footage and looked at it carefully. Then he fixed his gaze, pulled his hair with his hands, and deduced the scene in his mind according to Sun Yi's shooting techniques.

Yu Feihong, who was beside him, was no longer calm. He leaned over and looked at the footage carefully. His expression was also thinking, and he seemed to be trying to follow Sun Yi's steps in his mind.

After a moment, there was a "pop" sound, and Tian Zhuang suddenly slapped the table and said excitedly:

"Hold on, kid, that's okay."

Tian Zhuang is a person who doesn't know everything clearly. When Sun Yi answers questions that are wrong, he will scold him, and when Sun Yi gives a perfect answer, he will also praise him.

Everyone in the room secretly expressed surprise when they saw Director Tian Zhuang's expression. Director Tian Zhuang was always smiling and joking, but when it came to movies, he was extremely serious.

Cui Xinqin was still very concerned about her students and couldn't help but ask:
"Old Tian, ​​what's wrong? Does Sun Yi's idea suit you?"

"Well, not bad. I have to admit that this guy has some talent and is a director. Although the scene is not big, he is still young, and his shooting techniques are very sophisticated, concise and useful, and his expressions are in place."

Cui Xinqin felt her face light up when she heard her student being praised so much, and she said with a cheerful smile:
"Oh, it's rare that you, Lao Tian, ​​can praise someone. The sun is rising in the west."

At this time, even Yu Feihong next to him glanced at Sun Yi.

I didn’t expect that this junior, who studied acting, could not only write scripts, but also know so much about the director’s filming. He just didn’t know how his acting skills were, so he should pay more attention when the time comes.

Sun Yi looked very calm on the surface, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He kept reminding himself to be serious, it is 06, and don't bring the thoughts of future generations with you.

I thought I had passed the test, but I didn't expect Tian Zang to cause trouble again.

I saw him picking up another split-shot picture, pointing at it and asking:

"How are you going to arrange the lighting for this scene?"

When Sun Yi heard this, his heart dropped.

Director Tian's requirements are too comprehensive. He doesn't know how to use lighting.Can't you just hire a lighting engineer? If you can't achieve the effect you want, just ask him to try again and again.

It's not that Sun Yi didn't want to learn, it was just that he had no chance.

He didn't even want to mention the lighting of the previous crews and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". If Liu Yifei wasn't so naturally beautiful, you could try shooting with someone else.

In "A Little Red Flower for You", he was so focused on his acting skills that he didn't think about the lighting at all.

What kind of lighting is required for "Soldier Assault"? A bunch of rough guys, Sun Yi's white face, all had to be painted black. There is no specific lighting arrangement, they are all light sources that just meet the shooting needs.

Watching Sun Yi hesitate and say nothing for a long time, Tian Zhuang was amused.

"This script, to put it bluntly, can be regarded as a youth idol drama. The most critical points are the script, shooting, and lighting. You will have no problem with the first two. The last lighting is the most critical part of whether the actors can be photographed beautifully. Scattering Light and direct light, soft light and hard light, and light positions include forward light, side light, backlight, top light, bottom light, etc.”

After saying that, Tian Zhuang seemed to have grabbed Sun Yi's sore leg, like a victorious child, and said with a proud smile:
"Boy, you have to learn!"

Wang Jinsong couldn't stand Tian Zhuang's complacency, so he retorted:

"Old Tian, ​​how old is Sun Yi? Are you not ashamed to compare yourself with him?"

Cui Xinqin also glanced at Tian Zang with ill intentions.

This made Tian Zhuang very embarrassed.

"Let's see, I'll be the producer of this drama. As for the director, Sun Yi, you definitely can't do it. You still need some time, but I can make the decision and hire you as a screenwriter and assistant director. Then I'll give you a chance. , look at how good you are on the set."

Sun Yi heard this and thought the result was pretty good.

After all, you have to eat in one bite.

It doesn't matter whether he has the title of director or not. He, the assistant director with the title of screenwriter, can be considered a regular person. His goal of practicing on his own has been achieved.

The director has finished the discussion and is ready to choose the actors.

Wang Jinsong pointed at one of the shots of Sun Yi and said teasingly:
"You have a big heart. The heroine has been completely arranged by you."

As he spoke, he read out the text described on the storyboard.

"She raised her head and smiled, her eyes curved into two crescents, and there were shallow pear dimples at the corners of her mouth. It made people feel from the heart, so beautiful."
