Director of Photography Department of Huayu

Chapter 14 These students are just too ambitious
"Xuan'er, what's going on? Are you really moved? Is this the legendary love at first sight?"

At this moment, Guan Yue looked at Dong Xuan eagerly, as if she had discovered a new world.

"What are you thinking!" Dong Xuan looked at her friend and smiled helplessly. "I just think they're quite interesting. Besides, they're both in the photography department. Maybe we can work together someday, right?"

"It's not impossible. Apart from anything else, Wu Chen is quite professional in photography. I was stunned by what he said just now." Guan Yue nodded slightly.

"Me too, it feels very professional!" Yin Xu agreed when he saw this.

"Yeah, it sounds like..." Dong Xuan was about to praise him, but then she seemed to think of something and said, "Hey, why do I feel like something is wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Guan Yue asked curiously.

"It's just that Wu Chen didn't seem to explain the plot from beginning to end. What he said made sense, but was it really like that when I was filming?"

Dong Xuan blinked, her face full of confusion, but she couldn't figure out the reason for a moment.

"Forget it, I'll ask the photographer some other day. It's more important to hurry up and find a crew. We only have less than six months until we leave school."

"Xuan'er, you'll be fine. Yin Xu has also found a crew, so I'm the only one left!" Guan Yue spread her hands, looking helpless.

"You chose to stay in school as a teacher, right? Who are you trying to fool? We might even need you to look after us someday!"

Dong Xuan was laughing and joking, and the three of them were playing and joking along the way, attracting the attention of many passers-by on campus.

On the other side, Mu Deyuan, who went to the Directing Department, was pulling the Director of the Directing Department, Tian Zhuangzhuang, to the cafeteria for lunch.

Although the two were not classmates, they were both graduates of the class of 78. Now one is in charge of the photography department and the other is in charge of the directing department. Naturally, their relationship is extraordinary.

"You're acting strangely today. You even came to have dinner with me specially. I thought you were going out for a big meal." Tian Zhuangzhuang said happily.

"You, Director Tian, ​​are not tired of all this delicious food?" Mu Deyuan said with a smile.

When the two of them passed by the Photography Department, Mu Deyuan suddenly stopped and said, "Ouch, I almost forgot to take something! Lao Tian, ​​wait for me!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang waved his hand and didn't take it seriously. It was normal to forget something.

After a while, Mu Deyuan came back with a transparent file bag and deliberately waved the script title on the cover at Tian Zhuangzhuang.

"I almost forgot about this!"

"Hmm? This name, Lao Mu, are you going to make a new movie?" Tian Zhuangzhuang's eyes were sharp and he suddenly became interested.

"That's not my script!"

"Oh, whose is that?"

Seeing that Tian Zhuangzhuang had fallen into the trap, Mu Deyuan shook his head fiercely, "He's just a freshman. How can students nowadays be so ambitious? They can't even walk, and they're already thinking about running away!"

"It's normal for young people to have some aspirations. That's how we got here!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked persuasive, and then seemed to have thought of something. He paused and asked, "Are you planning to go back to the dormitory at noon to check on this student and give him some advice?"

"Well, I've read some, but there's still some I haven't finished. How about you come and help me take a look? With your skills, I think you can make this student give up!"

As Mu Deyuan spoke, he did not forget to compliment Tian Zhuangzhuang.

"Well, okay, let me take a look. But you know what, these students are really good at naming things these days. 'Dark Side' sounds a bit artistic and has a lot of atmosphere!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang thought about finding a reason to praise him first, so that he would not be at a loss for words to praise him later.

"Scene 1 - Interior - Villa - Night - Thunderstorm (shallow focus shot);
The precision of a rainy night is like a copper spoon soaked in black coffee. The window of the villa is shimmering with cold light in the lightning. The camera passes through the window.

"Hiss!" When Tian Zhuangzhuang saw the opening scene of the script, his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt unsure and had a very bad feeling!

Because this doesn't look like a freshman's script at all; it's too precise and subtle. "That circled area should have been circled by Old Mu. What's so good about it? It's just a little too revealing and bold. It's what art requires!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced at the area circled by Mu Deyuan and complained inwardly.

"Another controversial scene. Sigh, the current censorship system really kills the director's creativity."

"."

However, at this moment, Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't notice that his expression had changed from indifferent to a serious one.

Mu Deyuan noticed the subtle change in Tian Zhuangzhuang and quickly stopped smiling.

The more Tian Zhuangzhuang read on, the more surprised he was, because the sophistication of this script was beyond his imagination. The mirror metaphors, sound effects foreshadowing, and visual deception were all written in, which was quite detailed.

The most amazing thing is the plot and exploration of human nature, which are neither clichéd nor interrupted at the critical moments, leaving enough room for imagination.

"Old Mu, you said this student is only a freshman?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang quickly flipped through it and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, freshman, just four months of classes!" Mu Deyuan nodded.

"Wait, is this the student you mentioned to me before? What was his name?" Tian Zhuangzhuang tapped his finger in the air, but his mind was stuck.

"Wu Chen!" Mu Deyuan said with a smile.

"It's really him!" Tian Zhuangzhuang completely lost his temper.

The directing department hasn't had any new talents in recent years, but the photography department has had a steady stream of talent. This year, they first had Ning Hao, a potential new stock, and now they have received a freshman.

The most important thing is that this new student is the extremely talented Wu Chen that Mu Deyuan mentioned some time ago. With this combination, he can imagine what Mu Deyuan will do next.

"How can you be so lucky!" Tian Zhuangzhuang blurted out in confusion.

This was exactly what Mu Deyuan wanted. He had been pretending to be like this just for this moment.

comfortable!
"Hey, the students in the directing department aren't bad either. Look at how many have been promoted to the official positions over the years. They all have stable jobs and are the pillars of the country!"

However, Mu Deyuan was still comforting Tian Zhuangzhuang's weak heart.

"Haha!" Tian Zhuangzhuang felt sour in his heart.

"Let's go, let's go eat." Mu Deyuan patted Tian Zhuangzhuang's shoulder and said calmly.

"Can I still eat this?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang felt that he was really stupid. Why did he believe Mu Deyuan's nonsense? He was clearly showing off to him.

"Not really, not really!" Mu Deyuan advised cheerfully.

"As for, unless..." Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly had an idea and pondered.

"Unless what?"

"Unless Wu Chen is allowed to study directing as a graduate student!"

"Damn it, Tian Zhuangzhuang, I, Mu Deyuan, am telling you right now, just give up on this idea!" Mu Deyuan instantly got furious, spitting everywhere.

"You're too narrow-minded. He's in the directing department, but didn't he major in photography in his undergraduate studies? Wasn't he even a student at the Beijing Film Academy?"
