Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Chapter 155: Everyone is a trainee, how come you become a mentor?

When Tong Zhen said this, Jiang Lu realized that it seemed that his classmates had already learned the basic part of the course on camera sense, and now it should be considered the advanced part.

This made him feel a sense of urgency. While Tong Zhenzhen was still preparing props, he quickly asked Wu Yiyu: "Brother, can you tell me what the previous class was about?"

"I don't know." Wu Yiyu spread his hands: "I just came today."

"Then if he uses what he has learned before, shouldn't we give it a rest?"

Wu Yiyu thought for a while and said firmly: "There should be no problem. I have watched the previous programs, and my impression is that the trainees are asked to pose in front of the photo balls, or there are several photo balls kept switching, asking the trainees to It’s not difficult to accurately match the footage being recorded.”

"Is this so"

Jiang Lu felt a little relieved.

If it's just this level, even if you haven't had any systematic training, there should be little difference if you are familiar with it.

"Moreover."

Wu Yiyu then comforted:

"What Tong Zhen is good at is not leaving the country. What he taught us must be related to the use of photo balls. I don't think we can use the previous skills."

Just as he was talking, Tongzhen was already ready.

"This is a puppet sponsored by the Cloud Shadow Chamber of Commerce. It can perfectly simulate all human behaviors. We use it as a training partner."

Tong Zhen introduced the puppet around him that lacked a hint of agility, but was lifelike and indistinguishable from humans, and began to tell the rules:

“After my demonstration, everyone can be assigned one of these puppets, make them independently, and then I will grade them one by one.

Considering that you are debuting as idols, the works must be biased toward women, so I will focus on showing the beauty of men. I hope you will pay attention to my camera movements and how I handle the camera. "

Because it was a teaching class, the photo ball used by Tong Zhen at this time shared the screen in real time. Not only his actions were broadcast live, but his perspective in front of the camera was also synchronized to the light curtain behind the venue.

And Tong Zhen is indeed worthy of being a top photographer. Even in front of so many people, he has no stage fright. The aura he exudes is not only confident but also confident.

The trainees were all very impressed when they saw Tongzhen's demonstration as if no one else was watching.

"Teacher Tong's movements are so natural."

"It's as if no one is watching him at all. His mental quality is really strong."

"If it were me, I might be a little nervous if there is a third person present, right?"

And such a scene also gave Jiang Lu a sudden sense of déjà vu.

It seems that he had done something similar when he was in Florence, but the scene was bigger at that time.

This also gave him some enlightenment.

If one of the necessary conditions for cultivating camera sense is not to have stage fright, not to be nervous, and to always maintain a natural and relaxed state, then this step seems to have been taken.

He secretly observed the reactions of the trainees and found that they all spoke highly of Tong Zhen. From this, it could be seen that there seemed to be not many trainees with such conditions.

Even though Jiang Lu had not participated in the previous courses, looking at this alone, he seemed to be ahead of these practitioners who had never practiced before.

However, although Jiang Lu discovered his own advantages, he was not too proud, because this was just a threshold, and he was not really trying to compete with these trainees. His path obviously did not end there.

Therefore, the shooting skills of Tongzhen is the key point that he needs to pay attention to.

As Tong Zhenzhen said, he prefers to fill the frame with characters rather than giving a distant view. Therefore, on the light screen, except when changing postures, it will cut to include the entire distant view. At other times, he basically only shoots the bodies of the characters. a part of.

Looking down with a critical eye, Jiang Lu soon understood why Tong Zhen was able to carve out a bloody path as a mortal in such a highly competitive industry.

Just listening to the description, the lens tension theory mentioned by Tong Zhen is already considered the leading version of cognition, but compared with his actual practice, this description is actually quite general and pale.

Even Jiang Lu felt inspired by his fantastic ideas.

Unlike Jiang Lu's imagined slap-in-the-face shots, Tong Zhen is very good at using camera language.

As far as the picture is concerned, the rolling of Adam's apple, the sliding of sweat beads, the torn sheets, the water stains slowly spreading around, the tense toes, and the silhouette reflected by the bed.

In terms of perspective, from the perspective of a childlike person, the smooth back of the puppet, the distinct back groove and waist, the shoulders that move near and far, and the strong arms supported on both sides from the perspective of the puppet, the voice-over is gentle and heavy breathing. , and the ravines and hanging hair you see when you lower your head.

All the pictures are switching in an orderly manner. Although the whole picture is not visible, it is like a blind man touching an elephant, which gives people the pleasure of imagining and piecing together the whole in their mind. Although there is no movement, all elements are full of movement, which makes people feel... Be in the situation.

Wu Yiyu, who was admiring it, saw Jiang Lu's complicated expression and asked, "What do you think?"

"I feel like I've been poked."

"what?"

"It's not that I don't understand it." Jiang Lu said with a pessimistic look on his face: "I have to do something from a female perspective. Everything has been fine before, but if something like this happens suddenly, isn't it just giving me shit?"

Only then did Wu Yiyu understand what Jiang Lu disliked and said with a smile:

"Because he just said that if we successfully debut as a group, most of our future works will be female-oriented, so of course there will be many female perspectives.

His usual works generally don't have this kind of perspective. Hey, it's good to take a look at it occasionally for a change of experience. "

"To be fair, I actually think this definition of a woman is quite outrageous."

Jiang Lu asked with some confusion:

"No, is there really a woman who would accept being idolized like this on her behalf?"

"I don't know that."

Wu Yiyu shrugged:

"I only know that the works sold to women are the best ones."

"Live?"

"It's a special version of the photo ball."

Wu Yiyu made two circles with his hands and explained:

“Two glass balls of this size are stuck in an instrument for placing photo balls, and the picture you see is no longer flat, but three-dimensional, and the sound also surrounds your head.

I can’t even imagine how enjoyable it would be to shoot with this child-like shooting method and live-action processing. I can only say that this time I came to the training camp and it was a treasure. "

Jiang Lu was stunned and blurted out: "What VR movie?"

At the same time, the teaching over there has come to an end.

After finishing his performance, Tong Zhenzhen closed the photo ball, and warm applause broke out from both the trainee seats and the family and friends area.

Obviously, the discomfort Jiang Lu felt had no impact on them at all.

Tong Zhenren welcomed the applause, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "My demonstration must have inspired everyone, so before I start to explain formally, let me give it a try and ask everyone, what have you learned? What?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many trainees raised their hands skillfully. It seemed that this was not the first time for such a question and answer session.

Tongzhen picked a trainee numbered 008 in the front row.

008 trainee Zhu Kun stood up and replied seriously: "Teacher Tong, I think the key lies in the details."

"Of course the focus is on the details." Tong Zhen couldn't help laughing: "Can you be more detailed? What details?"

"That is, you fragment all the elements that should be integrated into one scene, and present all the information worth pondering in a concrete and complete manner. In this way, details that are not easily noticed by others can be They also get close-ups, and the atmosphere and immersion are even stronger.”

After saying that, Zhu Kun eagerly looked forward to Tong Zhenren's comments.

But Tong Zhen did not show any surprise or recognition. He just nodded with a smile and said: "It's not complete, and it doesn't get to the point. Is there anything else?"

Zhu Kun sat back with some embarrassment, and the others raised their hands again.

But this time the number of people raising their hands was significantly smaller.

Maybe it was because they had the same idea as Zhu Kun, or maybe because they didn't dare to express themselves when they saw that the first bird was defeated, in short, they all put down their hands.

Tongzhen randomly selected one of the few people who raised their hands.

The person selected this time is numbered 003, named Wang Ting.

"Teacher Tong, I think it's the lens tension you mentioned. Your treatment not only makes the picture more impactful, but also gives the work a unique artistic conception."

"Impression? It's interesting. Can you tell me more about it?" Tong Zhenzhen was slightly interested.

Wang Ting explained with great confidence: "Personally, I think if an ordinary work is regarded as a narrative article, then your work, teacher, condenses the story in the article into a short and long-lasting story. Poetry and short sentences.

A picture is a carefully crafted and elegant word, which is finally blended together to create an intoxicating world like a dream. "

But his confidence did not give him a much better evaluation than Zhu Kun.

Tong Zhen just nodded, and the interest on his face was replaced by disappointment without concealment.

"It's somewhat relevant, but what you said is not the answer I want. Does anyone else want to answer?"

But this time no one raised their hands.

Tongzhen sighed in his heart. He did not expect that the quality of this class of students was so poor, so he had to start a formal explanation:

"Actually, the real focus lies in two words - empathy.

The so-called sense of substitution, the so-called sense of immersion, the ultimate goal is nothing more than these two words.

All the elements and fragments that I sketched in great detail actually serve this purpose.

If it is a traditional shooting method, the more beautiful the picture is, the more it reminds the viewer that this is not them.

Why? Quite simply, because everything in the picture is something they have never been exposed to before, so they naturally have no empathy.

But I intentionally weakened this part and strengthened the sensory part, which is what everyone has experienced.

If you observe carefully, you will find that whether it is the details mentioned by classmate Zhu Kun or the artistic conception mentioned by classmate Wang Ting, they are all in my paintings, but they are not as mysterious as what they said, but full of the breath of life. An ordinary person must have seen it. Because I believe that only in this way can everyone find their own shadow in these puzzles and let the works enter their hearts. "

At this point, the innocence point has been stopped, and there is no more indoctrination, leaving time for the trainees to think and buffer.

Then he began to observe their reactions.

Most of the trainees were thoughtfully studying his words, a few of them seemed to understand, and some of the trainees were still confused and were asking the people around them.

But just when he was about to look back and start the second part of the course to let the trainees practice, he suddenly saw an inappropriate expression.

Jiang Lu, he was staring at Tong Zhenzhen with suspicion on his face, as if there were only four big characters written on his face.

This kind of subconscious questioning and disdain caused by the true feelings made Tong Zhen's blood pressure rise all of a sudden.

Before he came to teach, he learned the details of the trainees from the organizer. Naturally, he knew that the trainees who were able to compete for the final spot to debut in the group had already been ranked at the top of the previous rounds of screening. , so he tried his best to choose people to answer questions from the previous numbers.

The trainees in the next few rows with lower numbers are either foils or cannon fodder. They are basically victims who come to show off their faces. It stands to reason that given his status, he can not even give him good looks.

So he simply couldn't figure out how the person in the last row, who didn't even have a number, dared to question him.

Therefore, he immediately looked at Jiang Lu expressionlessly and asked, "This classmate, are you confused in any way?"

Jiang Lu looked around and found that the other person was looking in the direction where he seemed to be the only one: "Ah me?"

"Yes, I see from your expression that you seem to be questioning the theory I just made?"

Hearing this, all the trainees turned their heads and looked at Jiang Lu like a monster. Some were gloating about his misfortune, some were watching indifferently, and some were not sure why.

But without exception, they clearly did not have any good intentions.

Jiang Lu also noticed Tong Zhen's displeasure and could only smile awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter." Tong Zhen pretended to be generous: "It's just communication. If you don't understand anything, just say it."

"Doubts are out of the question." Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "I just don't agree."

"Huh?" Tong Zhenzhen looked stern.

Disapproval was even more difficult for him to accept than questioning.

Not only him, but the other trainees also changed their expressions all of a sudden. From watching the fun to a serious look, they looked at Jiang Lu with great surprise, a transfer student who dared to resist authority.

Even Wu Yiyu, who was the first to be in a group with Jiang Lu, moved his butt to the side, eager to distance himself from him.

"So, what is it that you don't agree with?" Tong Zhenzhen asked with a smile on his face.

"I agree with your skills, but I don't agree with the points you summarized that made you successful."

"Do you have any insights?"

"You said that the key to your success is empathy, allowing the audience to see themselves reflected in the work."

Jiang Lu shook his head:

“But I really can’t figure out what kind of shadow of us can be seen in this kind of work. Is it that most men don’t like to exercise or take showers and are greasy when they are alone, or is it that women don’t put on makeup when they are alone? Don’t wash your hair and have a lot of fat on your body?

Music needs to go deep into the soul, and words need to connect with life, but in our industry, I think the more imaginative it is, the more it can help people escape from reality and briefly indulge in beautiful illusions.

If what I want to see is my shadow, then why do I need to see through you? Wouldn’t it be nice for me to see through it myself or be exposed to it myself?

The problem is that most people don’t understand it at all! "

Tong Zhen frowned.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his theory, but similarly, he couldn't find fault with what Jiang Lu said.

These words also caused other trainees to think.

Before becoming trainees, most of them were unknown due to lack of packaging. Even now, they are all products of the operation of the chamber of commerce. Isn't it like what Jiang Lu said in real life?

If they want to find their own shadow in Tong Zhen's works, then the only thing they can think of is themselves watching the photo ball silently playing glue.

After thinking for a while, Tongzhen asked: "Then how do you explain my success?"

Jiang Lu replied without hesitation: "If this is your idea, then I would think that your success is completely accidental, because you don't even know what makes your work outstanding.

From my point of view, the most important thing for you to achieve success is actually being astringent but not astringent. "

"Astringent or not?"

"Yes."

Jiang Lu nodded and analyzed:

“Your shooting techniques reveal a unique style.

From beginning to end, your focus is not on the thing itself, but on many different points, splitting a complete picture into many fragments, leaving room for the audience to piece together and imagine. .

In my opinion, pure flesh is vulgar, just like being naked is never as attractive as being naked. The state of being naked and looming is the most alluring.

And you, my friend, you have achieved the ultimate in this aspect by accident.

This is the reason for your success. "

Tong Zhen was stunned, but the trainees seemed to have some realization.

Tong Zhenzhen's explanation before was certainly reasonable, but Jiang Lu's explanation went straight to their hearts.

“If this kind of work is not intended to arouse desire, then it should be a failure.

Now that it is successful, what we should really consider is why it is so astringent, rather than the so-called empathy. "

Jiang Lu said solemnly:

"The first priority of a film is to make people think, just like a sketch that must be sublime and touching. At the end, everyone makes dumplings and smashes them together, abandoning the original intention of comedy to make people happy.

Then it is completely putting the cart before the horse! "

The way the trainees looked at Jiang Lu suddenly changed.

Although they didn't know what the skit was, let alone what dumpling making was, at least the first half of the sentence spoke to their hearts.

This transfer student seems to have something.

However, Tong Zhenren was still present, and they did not dare to interrupt, so they had no choice but to wait and see what happened.

At this time, Tongzhen finally spoke: "After all, we still have different ideas."

"So you still insist that you are right?" Jiang Lu sighed regretfully.

"Of course I won't change my ideas easily, but I can't fault your ideas either."

The initial anger in Tong Zhen's heart had dissipated at this time, and he even began to show some approval towards Jiang Lu:

“In matters of art, everyone’s opinions will be different due to different visions and perspectives, which is normal.

But you did surprise me. Your insights are indeed not at the same level as others.

So, I'm going to give you a chance. "

"Huh?" Jiang Lu was confused.

"We can have a friendly match."

Tong Zhen smiled and said:

"I will not judge you as a mentor, but as an opponent. I will use my ideas to collide with your ideas and see who can gain the most recognition in the end. How about that?"

After all, he has been a benchmark in the industry for a long time. Although he is quite reasonable and will not rely on his seniority to bully newcomers, he still has arrogance, and he also wants to save face.

He recognized Jiang Lu, but that didn't mean he was convinced, so in order to maintain his dignity, he challenged Jiang Lu to a fight regardless of their disparity in status.

This development was beyond Jiang Lu's expectation, and it was also beyond the expectations of the program team.

They began to feel very regretful, because this kind of private training routine would only be edited and added to the main film of the verification night, and would not be broadcast live.

Such a plot full of program effects and conflicts cannot be broadcast to increase the popularity. It is simply a waste of resources.

But Tong Zhenzhen seems to have been well aware of the show crew's urinary behavior for a long time, and specifically added:

"If you agree, I will communicate with the program team and let me join tomorrow's verification night as a contestant like you.

Since ancient times, it has been said that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, but this does not apply to me. I just want to prove that there are also superior and inferior arts. "

As a result, the heads of various departments cast expectant glances at Jiang Lu.

They don't care who will win in this battle. They only care about ratings and sales. As long as the traffic is in place, the rest doesn't matter at all.

But the trainees think more because of their different perspectives.

Although Jiang Lu's views on filming are amazing, and he is courageous enough to openly oppose the famous Tongzhen, he is still an amateur and a little-known person.

Talking about being good at kung fu does not mean that he has real kung fu, and being strong in theory does not mean that he is strong in practice, so no one is optimistic about Jiang Lu at all.

There are only two best solutions they can think of to deal with the current situation.

Either he can reconcile with Tong Zhen and turn the hostility into friendship. Although he is at a disadvantage, he can still get acquainted with this industry giant and gain connections.

Or just agree to it and rely on this conflict to create a wave of popularity. Maybe it will become popular. Even if it is eliminated, you can still rely on this popularity to reap a wave of short-term dividends.

But no matter which method they used, they never thought that Jiang Lu could win.

In response to many questions and scrutiny, Jiang Lu's answer was only five words:

"Can we ask for outside help?"

　sorry Sorry sorry! I overestimated my coding speed. After all, I didn’t have time to write 1 words, so for the next two days, I spent a day and a day. I did what I said!
