I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 39

Chapter 39 039. Great movie, right?

In the second room, Xu Xin's broken singing voice, and the non-stop popping out "Happy Birthday Sissy" toss and change glasses, formed a seemingly messy, but really incomparable group portrait.

The screen paused, and Yu Zhen held the remote control in her hand and said:

"Here I have to praise the shooting style here. First of all, the difficulty of group portraits is how to highlight the key points, how to effectively sort out each shot, from dynamic vision to static vision, and explain it to the audience through the screen, so that they can find the key points .”

Finger to the screen after speaking:

"The director of photography of the film handled it very well here. He adopted the form of hand-held camera advancement, and first determined the role of Xu Sanjin as the main prototype, while all other characters were extended and started from his screen, allowing the audience to find out. His. It's a great job."

After exaggerating Fang Xiu's subtext, Yu Zhen continued to ask:

"So, now comes the question, the first room is to see how poor I am, so what does Xu Xin want to express in the second room?"

Before, Yu Zhen had helped everyone sort out their thoughts, so after hearing her words, many people followed her thoughts and raised their hands:

"Is it possible to be friends with anyone?"

"Are brothers all over the world?"

"I think it's a disguise, right? That's why he called Sissy happy birthday with that voice..."

All kinds of discussions were heard by Yu Zhen, and also by Xu Xin.

After hearing the discussion of these people, Yu Zhen was uncharacteristically:

"Xu Xin, tell me this time yourself, and tell me what you want to express."

The human voice in the classroom disappeared instantly.

Under the attention of the whole class, Xu Xin stood up:

"In fact, someone has already answered this question just now. When I first created the script, I really wanted to express that there are friends everywhere. But as Teacher Yu said, this proposition is too big, so I will improve it in details. From entering the room abruptly at the beginning, to being accepted by the group, after expressing the friendliness of the crowd, through the lines of happy birthday, and the drunk Xu Sanjin getting a toast from others, the first reaction is the details of the return, etc. What is expressed is a kind of maturity that accepts kindness, hides one's own personality, and integrates into the collective. Of course..."

He shook his head slightly:

"This is just my personal point of view. The main reason is that I don't really like the distinctive features of Western movies that focus on highlighting individual heroism. In my concept, people are social animals. Only by accepting the group first can they be accepted by the group. Accepted, and any individualistic heroic style should also be based on the collective, instead of running counter to it like Western movies.

Now there is an unfamiliar group willing to accept Xu Sanjin and release goodwill, then Xu Sanjin's maturity is doomed that he will not say to that "Sissy": Hey, what a coincidence, today is also my birthday.

But through the voice of happy birthday, one is to express goodwill, and the other is to give an account of one's own personal will for this collective "sacrifice". So, after I discovered a story that could dig deep into this room, I defined the deep level of this story as: maturity with good intentions. "

After he finished speaking, everyone looked thoughtful.

But Yu Zhen asked:

"Then do you think you have successfully handled this story?"

"No."

Xu Xin shook his head directly.

Actually, he had discussed this issue with Teacher Yu before, and it was also a big minus point for the whole story.

The story of his room has an idea, but the script is not deep enough.

Combined with Yu Zhen's words, it is:

"The reason why Xu Xin did not deal with the story of success is because the camera did not give Xu Sanjin enough hints of psychological activities or the transformation process. Therefore, it only brought the superficial meaning of the script to the audience, and the core theme is very weak.

He made a mistake that inexperienced directors would make, that is, he wanted to stuff the story content too much at one time, but he didn't do enough preparation. And this is also the main reason why when we go to watch certain types of films, big guys feel that the role positioning is very inexplicable, and some people can't figure it out. "

After finishing speaking, the topic changed:

"Of course, I'm not saying that his story is poorly shot. On the contrary, as a freshman, he can express a theme in a short thirteen-minute story, which in my opinion has been successful. So, the story of the second room, I define it as flawless, because at least, the surface of his story is very clear. I believe that as long as he accumulates enough experience, then this story will be more perfect. Okay, the following Let's look at the third story... Actually, I think the third room is very interesting..."

Following her words, the movie continued to advance, but for some reason, Yu Zhen suddenly deliberately increased the volume so that people could hear the slightly noisy background music.

That is an English song.

But no one cares now, just listen to her continue:

"Here, we can actually see that Xu Xin had some unique ideas in terms of scenery and sound effects. First of all, what did you see?"

Pointing to the green screen, Yu Zhen finished asking, and someone answered:

"beer."

“…I mean what does it represent, and what does it reflect. You are the director, not the audience, and you have to think from the movie instead of giving a straightforward answer.”

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhen looked at her watch and said directly:

"It's green. Green wine bottles are all over the table. In the middle, this man is crying. Note that he has no lines, he is crying all the time, but through the language of the camera, what does this green color remind you of? Why did he Crying?...Think about it, what does green represent?"

The more straightforward words naturally lead everyone's thinking to feelings.

"Very green, very green, right?"

"right."

"Then in this room, we will see a very interesting turning point. As I said before, it seems that the drunk Xu Sanjin just entered this room by mistake, and then drank a glass of wine with this crying man , Persuade a few words not to cry.

But, remember what Xu Xin said just now? He said that in the second room, he was talking about the maturity of goodwill he felt from the collective system. And this third room, notice, his body language is very interesting. He hesitated at first, and then asked. After getting no answer, he picked up the wine and had physical comforting contact with the other party. After confirming again that it was invalid, he turned and left the room after drinking a glass of wine. What does this mean? "

Without waiting for the students to answer, Yu Zhen said directly:

"It means that after accepting the kindness he got from the previous room, he also passed it on to the next object. Through the hint in the camera, it is suggested that this person may be cheated, but the other party's refusal to communicate makes people Some couldn't figure out what happened to the other party. Then... It was like the last room, no one knew why Xu Sanjin appeared here, and it didn't matter whether he went to the wrong room or not.

In short, the collective accepted him and released goodwill, and this kind of goodwill was released by Xu Sanjin in this room. The same double proposition, big proposition: correct values have a conductive effect. And the small proposition...Xu Xin, talk about it. "

Xu Xin who had just sat down had to stand up again:

"When I saw that the other party was unable to communicate, I would stay away from frustration and pain in time after releasing my goodwill. That's why in the final shot, I froze the picture in the third room, and waited until Xu Sanjin closed the door to isolate the sound inside and outside. The sudden disappearance of the voice represents a complete closure. But it is not closed to others, but isolated to oneself.

And Mr. Yu, the reason why you increased the volume just now is to let everyone hear the background music in the KTV clearly. It is selected from Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling In Love", and the lyrics in the opening and closing of the door... I said it in English Not very standard, anyway, the translation is that wise men do not fall in love, and fools are trapped by love. But in fact this paragraph was added later, the KTV at the shooting site did not have this song. So in pursuit of less abrupt sound effects, I reduced the volume..."

Following Xu Xin's explanation, the students in the class looked bewildered.

no…

Where did you get the old lasagna?

Also used the lyrics of an English song to express the theme of the script?

Are you... are you rubbing us on the ground?

We are still struggling to find a camera position to learn the focus and composition of the picture. How about you, you started to play with dolls for us?

One link after another?

Brother, what are you doing?

Everyone was speechless and dazed, and under these expressions, there was a feeling of...a bit of despair.

Being a bad student in the first half of the first semester of freshman year.

The second half of the semester just started, what tricks did you throw?

At this time, they heard the somewhat noisy but extremely affectionate voice singing affectionately on the TV stereo:

"Wisemensay~

onlyfools rushin,

but I can'thelp~fallinginlovewith~~~you~~~~~”

Come back to your senses and look at Yu Zhen.

But seeing the teacher squinting his eyes, the hand holding the remote control was waving gently following Elvis Presley's voice, his eyes were full of intoxication.

It wasn't until the door slammed shut, the picture froze, and the background music disappeared, that she opened her eyes and said with a smile:

"So, Elvis Presley is great, the story is great, and Xu Xin is also great, right? Students."

The audience fell silent.

But after standing still for a second, I don't know who took the lead.

"Snapped."

"Papa papa."

Wow la la la la...

The applause formed a sea of echoes in the classroom.

And Xu Xin was in the ocean, sat up straight, and nodded slightly to everyone.

His face was extremely calm.

Thanks.

Although thank you very much for your compliments.

But I know, and hope...it is inevitable!

will do better.

(Let's also explain here that many people say that the wise man does not fall in love is said by Bob Dylan, but it is not actually said. There are two versions of this word on the Internet, one is from Sir Francis Bacon, and the other is from Elvis Presley, although Bob Dylan also sang this song, it is not what he said, just like what Lu Xun said about certain chicken soup, it is a deceptive fake literary meme. You don't have to be serious, Just laugh it off.)
