Chapter 189 As soon as an expert takes action, he will know if there is any

From actor performance, seamlessly switch to the most humble profession in the film and television industry - onomatopoeia artist.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Liu walked to the temporarily added lectern, preparing to use the equipment, celery, and several special props he brought to vividly demonstrate the importance of the Foley artist to the Nortel teachers and students.

“When we were moving props before, some students questioned the usefulness of celery.”

Jiang Liu looked at the audience with a smile: "I will tell everyone that the celery I bought at the market was used for dubbing. Can any students guess the sound?"

"Crash."

"Ghost laughter."

"Chewing sound."

"The sound of propellers turning."

"."

The more he spoke, the more outrageous the cheers became, turning the audience into a sea of ​​joy. Jiang Liu suppressed the noisy students and said with a smile:

"Look, after the release of "Hero" and "Pirates", many Chinese filmmakers, media, and even officials suddenly became confident and said they would make great strides to catch up with the Hollywood film industry."

"However, the sound effect of a handful of celery has stumped many teachers and students of Nortel. Nortel is one of the three art mountains in our country."

"It can be seen that even at Nortel, there are not many students studying Foley. I even wonder if there is a separate major?"

"Because as far as I know, there are no more than five people in our film and television industry who are called Foley Artists."

Vice President Qin asked for the microphone and explained: "Foley artist is a dubbing major at Nortel, but there are really no students joining the Foley major."

Jiang Liu nodded and said: "Onomatopoeia is indeed an extremely unpopular profession, but more such behind-the-scenes production talents and commendatory talents are the foundation for the Chinese film industry to catch up with the Hollywood film industry."

"Okay, everyone is holding your breath now. I will show you the uses of celery, so that everyone can feel the charm of sound and the importance of sound in the film and television industry."

Jiang Liu turned the mixer to maximum volume and placed the microphone amplifier next to the condenser microphone.

The condenser microphone was turned on, and he quietly picked up the celery and twisted it into the microphone.

As the intensity of the movements increased, the students in the audience looked horrified, as if Jiang Liu was twisting human bones and joints instead of celery.

The teachers and students of Beidian were sighing that the ordinary celery turned out to be so magical in Jiang Liu's hands. Jiang Liu broke it with both hands.

"Click"

The sound of bones breaking instantly made the timid students in the audience tremble involuntarily. Some people's faces turned pale and they couldn't wait to look at the classmates around them.

Turning off the microphone, Jiang Liu smiled and said: "The movement in the audience proves the charm of sound. Foley artists are magicians and sorcerers in our film and television industry. I also have several props here that can simulate different sounds, including No classmates are willing to come up and show it off.”

"I"

"I am willing."

There were many students who signed up enthusiastically, and Jiang Liu named five of them with a smile.

"Hello, Director Jiang, my name is Bian Jiang, and I major in dubbing."

"I remember I said hello at the school gate just now. Which prop do you want to try?"

"This one." Bian Jiang picked up a small plastic basin with a metal strip hanging from the bottom.

Jiang Liu nodded and booed the audience, which was already in a commotion. Some students who started to stand and watch remained quiet, and then turned on the microphone.

"Buzz."

"The range of motion can be increased a little."

"Boom."

"OK, everyone should be able to hear the sound of the props used by Bian Jiang."

"thunder."

"Two very different sounds of thunder."

Jiang Liu smiled and nodded to the audience, and handed a fan stained with silk to Dong Xuan: "Be gentle and give it a try."

"Thank you, Director Jiang." Dong Xuan smiled sweetly and heartily. Dong Xuan’s dance in front of the microphone seemed to let the northwest wind blow into the auditorium in the cold winter, causing the teachers and students in the audience to tighten their clothes involuntarily.

Several sound props were displayed one after another and won applause from the audience. Jiang Liu's first speech came to an end, ushering in the last clichéd stage and off-stage communication session.

"Hello, Director Jiang, I am a directing student, and I would like to ask the director how to make a good film."

Jiang Liu said to his brother-in-law: "I think whether you are a director or a photographer, in addition to knowing the basic professional skills of 'push, pull and pan', you must also insist on watching movies."

"When I have insufficient experience in various aspects, I have to find inspiration from the works of senior industry veterans, and finally learn from each other's strengths to gradually form a personal directing style."

It was still the director department who grabbed the microphone again: "Director Jiang, I know that film viewing volume is very important to our director and photography department majors."

"The school and teachers also encourage us to watch more movies. For this reason, the screening room often shows underground films directed by the fifth and sixth generation domestic directors. But over time, will we form a habit of plagiarism in the future?"

Jiang Liu smiled and said: "It is difficult to define art as plagiarism. It is more about tribute and reference. If you have this burden, I will give you a few examples."

"VCDs and DVDs have been popular in China for some years. We took the opportunity to watch many Hong Kong and Western movies, and got to know many Hong Kong stars such as Joey Wong, Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Maggie Cheung, and Brigitte Lin."

"Zhou Xingchi's reputation in the mainland is second only to Fang Lung, but do you know that all the movies he starred in, as well as several movies he directed, have always paid homage to and borrowed plots from famous works. You can name any movie starring Zhou Xingchi, I’ll point it out to you on the spot.”

As soon as Jiang Liu finished speaking, the audience became lively again.

""Truant Dragon"."

"In "The Back to School", the protagonist's fantasy sequence in class pays homage to "Prison"."

""The Deer and the Cauldron"."

"It's too simple. The scene in the movie where Zhou Xingchi puts his arms around Qiu Shuzhen imitates the most popular movie in Hong Kong at that time, "The Undefeated"."

""The Death Judge"."

"The scene where the protagonist of "The Inquisitor" wears a mask is a tribute to Hannibal in the Western movie "The Silence of the Lambs."

"The scene in the film where Anita Mui kisses Zhou Xingchi from a distance in the lobby of the government office is a tribute to the Western film "A Dangerous Day". Have you never seen "A Dangerous Day"? It only shows that your film viewing needs to be improved."

"Among the movies starring Zhou Xingchi, the ones that pay tribute to "10 Days of Danger" are not only "The Inquisitor" but also "A Happy Event in the Family", and "A Happy Event in the Family" also borrowed many elements from "Pretty Woman" and "Pretty Woman". The love between man and ghost is not over yet."

""Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is a spoof of "Metal Shell" and "Dragon Ball"."

""Domestic Lingling Paint" not only pays tribute to the Western film "Terminator", but also pays tribute to the mainland film "Two Flags"."

"Your favorites, "Westward Journey" which was deconstructed as a post-modernist film, mainly borrowed from Wong Kar-wai's works, Sun Wukong Kicks Bodhi, which borrowed from "Days of Being Wild", and Zixia and Qingxia with split personalities borrowed from "Days of Being Wild". "Ashes of Time", the original lines of "Love You Ten Thousand Years" are from "Chungking Express"."

Seeing the silence in the audience, Jiang Liu smiled and said: "It also involves many movies, so I won't list them all."

"Do you think these are plagiarism?"

"I think it should be said that it is a reference, a tribute, and a spoof, and the director is very talented in the perfect integration, so these movies will be recognized by all of us. This is the difference between reference, tribute and plagiarism."

Applause resounded throughout the auditorium.

Many teachers and students even stood up and applauded.

For Jiang Liu, he gave a unique speech as a "foley artist".

This is due to Jiangliu’s huge film viewing volume.

Wei Jiangliu clearly explained to students the difference between borrowing, paying homage and plagiarism.

This speech convinced the teachers and students present at Nortel.

As the saying goes: A connoisseur will know if something is wrong as soon as he makes a move!

Jiang Liu has achieved such great results in his 20s, but many people in the industry are polite but secretly dissatisfied.

After watching this speech, I am afraid that no one in the audience has any objections.

After looking at his watch, he realized that his speech had timed out. Jiang Liu answered the following questions more quickly and ended his speech at dusk.
