Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 27
"Whatever the elder brothers want to eat, just eat it harder. I'll treat you to this meal!" Zhao Hong said boldly.

This is a self-employed restaurant not far from the school.

"Fourth, you guys are welcome!", Zhang Fengyi took the menu and ordered a few dishes directly. In fact, a private restaurant has just opened at this time, and there are very few types of dishes. The most common one is braised pork , but it is already a luxury for students.

"The second child is already in a movie, so the purse must have bulged. This meal treats the fourth child, and you should treat the fourth child next time!", the third child Gu Changwei joked.

"No problem! Isn't it just a matter of a meal!" Zhang Fengyi said quite proudly.

Although I didn't get much performance fees, there is still no problem with going to the restaurant next time. During this period, actors are paid in the form of wages.

"What! Is it all over? Why don't I know? Second brother, tell me quickly!" Zhao Hong asked.

He knew about this. When his class arranged the annual sketch "Camel Xiangzi" last year, Zhang Fengyi played the role of Xiangzi. The sketch was very successful, and he was immediately selected by the director who was preparing to make the movie "Camel Xiangzi".

"Just a few days after the filming, hey! After participating in the film, I realized that I still have a lot of shortcomings. There is still one year left in college. I have to work harder, and I don't plan to go out to act in movies anymore." Zhang Fengyi replied.

In the process of playing Xiangzi, he realized that his acting skills were not good enough, so he planned to improve it in school.

The movie "Camel Xiangzi" is adapted from Lao She's novel. The drama "Camel Xiangzi" is very classic, and it is the treasure of Renyi.

Zhao Hong really admires him a little bit. The actors in this period are talking about their works. Without good acting skills, they can't get along. The four people in the dormitory study very hard.

Lao Mouzi not only studied photography as a major, but also studied directing and acting. He studied voraciously in school.

Because of Zhao Hong's extremely rich professional knowledge, he was often asked for advice, and Zhao Hong also took the trouble to explain it to him.

Gu Changwei is also working very hard. While studying photography, he is also learning about directing.

In other words, Zhang Fengyi has the fewest subjects, but don't think that he is the most relaxed. Acting is a lifetime thing, and a person can never finish learning in a lifetime.

He is just learning to act, and his progress is very fast, otherwise there would be no movies that would find him.

The three of them often asked Zhao Hong for advice, and often went to Zhao Hong's residence to learn from the film.

Zhao Hong herself brought a set of projection equipment in Xiangjiang, which was installed in her courtyard, as well as many foreign films, which cannot be found in China.

Zhao Hong did it for her own study, and this has helped them all. It can be said that they have made rapid progress in the past three years, which is completely different from when they first entered the school. Whether it is temperament or knowledge, they are completely different. people.

There is nothing wrong with asking them to direct a small-to-medium-budget movie now.

Of course, Zhao Hong has learned the most among the four. Three years of continuous learning in the system has allowed him to accumulate theoretical knowledge beyond measure.

Now it doesn't matter whether it is the director theory of the Soviet Union or Europe and the United States, not to mention that he is constantly learning in reality, no matter the breadth or depth of knowledge, he can be proud of the world.

Several people ate and chatted, and told each other some interesting things during the vacation.

"It's been three years since college, how about we make a short film together? Use this short film to witness what we have learned. You see, we already have a director, cameraman and actors, and a small crew is ready-made. It's a group of people." Zhao Hong suggested.

"It's good, it's just that there are no photographic equipment and film." Zhang Yimou said emotionally.

You must know that although he has studied photography for three years, he has only a handful of times to get started. It is just that it is not easy to shoot, and the cost of shooting is too high. There are no digital cameras in this period, and film is very expensive.

The other two also said that it was too expensive, but they all looked at Zhao Hong, knowing that he still had more to say.

Zhao Hong didn't disappoint them either, seeing him say: "It's okay, I brought a set of shooting equipment and more than 5000 rolls of film this holiday, which should be enough." These are all prepared by him for shooting this short film.

The eyes of the other three people looking at Zhao Hong have changed. What is a local tyrant? This is a local tyrant. Although they all know that Zhao Hong is not short of money, after all, they can tell it usually, but they did not expect to be so rich that they can buy filming by themselves. Equipment, it is not easy for them to rent it in the future.

In their eyes, Zhao Hong is very mysterious. She is very low-key in school, doesn't show off her mountains and doesn't leak water, and studies very hard.

But he always hides his secrets. Every time he takes the exam, he is always in the middle. He usually talks less in public and doesn't speak easily. Of course, his appearance can't be kept low-key. The school doesn't know how many girls he has Write him a love letter.

Therefore, others knew almost nothing about Zhao Hong's situation. Only they who lived in the same dormitory knew something about it. They were certain that Zhao Hong's grades were the best in the class.

Moreover, the family must be very wealthy. Whether they live in a courtyard or have a private movie screen, ordinary people cannot afford it. They always thought that the second generation Zhao Honghong kept a low profile in school because he did not want to cause any criticism and have a bad impact on the family.

But now it seems that there is a bit of deviation, the three of them didn't say anything, everyone has their own secrets, since Zhao Hong doesn't want to tell, there must be some reason.

So Zhang Yimou directly asked: "Fourth, what are you going to shoot? Have you thought about shooting anything?".

"I probably have an idea, how about I tell you about it!" Zhao Hong said.

"Okay! Let us give you a staff officer!" Gu Changwei said.

Zhao Hong started to say that Li Li is a talented pianist who has been studying piano for 15 years, but he failed in a piano competition representing the country and his life fell to the bottom.

After a period of adjustment, Li Li'an regained his strength and became a blind piano tuner.

In fact, he only wears contact lenses, which will make others think that his hearing is more acute, and thus get more sympathy and consumption, and even spy on other people's lives and privacy. Being in a busy city seems to be in a detachment outside the world.

One day, he came to work in a family, but he didn't know that there had just been a murder case here, and he died unexpectedly because he pretended to be blind and exposed his identity.

This is "The Tuner", from a 2010 French short that was later adapted into a film in India.

Although "The Tuner" is a short film of only 4 minutes, the plot tension contained in it is not impressive.

The movie uses a clever idea to be mistaken for cleverness, and hides all the greed, cowardice, and hypocrisy of human nature in this tuner who pretends to be blind.

As for the role setting of the tuner, in fact, whether it is his failure or his finding a new way and using his own way, he has achieved a certain degree of success.

In fact, it will resonate with people. I believe that what many people hope in the end is that this clever tuner will not be killed.

However, the director has cast a lot of foreplay foreshadowing. From a rational point of view, this must be a tragedy.

However, the film stays in the puzzle of life and death and ends abruptly, and self-consciousness actually draws the most satisfactory end to the film.

Zhao Hong liked this short film very much. When Zhao Hong finished telling the story, the other three felt that the story was very good. The whole story was full of suspense and conflicts. It was short and powerful, and it was very suitable for making a short film.

"The story is so good, fourth brother, hurry up and write the script, I can't wait to shoot it." Zhang Yimou said excitedly.

Afterwards, everyone divided their roles. Of course, Zhao Hong was the director, Zhang Yimou was the photographer, and Zhang Fengyi played the blind pianist.

Although everyone wants to shoot it as soon as possible, in order to keep improving, it still takes a month of preparation, mainly for the formation of the crew and the preparation of the actors.
