I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 38: 038. Screening class

  Chapter 38 038. Screening class

  Yuan Shanshan was guarding the goal there, and Yang Mi couldn't kick the ball out with this text message.

   As a last resort, the girl with a guilty face even wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in. Who cares what movie you show, teacher?

   But what should come will always come.

   During the one-hour class, Teacher Wu put it aside and talked. Yang Mi went in one ear and went out the other, just like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced...

  Actually, if Yuan Shanshan stayed away from her, she wouldn't be so embarrassed.

  The problem is that it’s okay for the two of you to sit at the same table in this class, but when you go back to the dormitory, it’s still head to head...

  Which **** **** it can leak air by pressing the window! ?

   But no matter what, it will still rain, and the girl will still get married.

  What should come will always come.

"Okay, the reason why the previous three short films are very simple is because the directors of these three films have very distinctive and mature personal styles. And their short films seem simple, but in fact, every shot and actor needs Skills all reflect a strong personal style. These three videos are homework for everyone. I will upload them to Xiaonei. These, write out an analysis, and in the next week's acting class, let everyone perform..."

  Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat...

   I heard Mr. Wu continue to say:

   "Next, let's focus on this last movie. The title is called..."

  Glanced at Yang Mi, Teacher Wu didn't hide it anymore, and said directly:

""not drunk""

   As he spoke, he took a CD and put it into the DVD player.

  Then paused the screen:

"The reason why this film is included in this class is actually very simple. First, it is what everyone can access now, and it is the most suitable for your performance style. It is similar to your level and easy to understand. Second, His script seems simple, but it is actually very interesting. And through various small details to make you have a kind of aftertaste and thinking, the script is very cleverly designed, and there is an open ending in it. Third, his idea is great And the fourth... The reason why the teacher put this film at the end is actually to let everyone watch this kind of short film that is still very immature but has gone on the right path after watching the previous three mature director films. At this time, through this short film, we can help everyone establish a correct mentality."

  His words were enough to arouse the interest of everyone in the acting class.

   Not to mention... My classmates also played roles in it.

  You can turn your head and look at Yang Mi...

  But I saw that the sisters had buried their heads in their arms.

   You can't be so shy, can you?

   A group of people were puzzled, but Teacher Wu directly clicked play:

   "OK, now let's watch this short film..."

  The screen began, and the drunk who had met Yang Mi three times appeared in her peeking eyes again.

  With the close-up of the camera, Mr. Wu's last words sounded:

   "Oh yes, the director of this film is Xu Xin from the first class of the director department."

   It's over.

   It's all over.

  When I feel the gaze next to me...

  Yang Mi knew that she was completely finished...

  …

   Thirteen minutes passed in a flash.

   And there are still 37 minutes until the end of the class.

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  The classroom was quiet.

  Everyone was looking at Xu Xin with incomparably surprised eyes.

   It's like looking at a monster.

  Yu Zhen, holding the remote control in her hand, said slowly in the silence of the whole class:

   "Xu Xin, do you have anything to say?"

  Xu Xin got up and shook his head:

   "No, Teacher Yu."

   "Okay, let me ask."

  Yu Zhen waved him to sit down, looked at the surprised eyes of the students in the class, and didn't discuss any so-called "how about it, don't treat me differently for three days", but asked directly:

"As directors, the first thing we have to do is to grasp the core essence of a script after we have read it in front of us. This is the most basic qualification for us to become a director. So, students, My first question is, what do you guys think of the movie?"

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Everyone was speechless.

   just frowned and thought.

  Yu Zhen didn’t rush, but gave everyone ten seconds to think, and then continued to ask:

   "Can someone answer my question?...Gao Mingliang, you answer this question."

  The male student who was suddenly pointed out subconsciously stood up.

   Being stared at by Yu Zhen, he hesitated for a few seconds before saying:

   "It gives me the feeling that... uh... the light is adjusted... quite suitable, and the shooting is also very stable, and the look is very smooth. Even the blurred shots behind me don't give me any discomfort..."

"stop."

   Yu Zhen interrupted him:

"You're talking about things that people in the photography department would think about. I'm talking about the director. As a director, how do you feel about this film? Or... Let me ask it another way, can anyone tell me , what is this film about?"

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Seeing that the whole class is full of puzzled faces, as a teacher, what Yu Zhen needs to do is not to let them guess, but to inspire their thinking and give them the right direction.

   So, she gave two directions:

   "Is it the knowledge and adventures of a drunk man in KTV?... Or is it from the perspective of these young people who are working and working hard in big cities, showing their situation, efforts and expectations for the future?"

  With the direction, the students were reminded and followed her words:

   “Looking forward to the future.”

   "Definitely the back."

   "Should it be the back?"

   "..."

  After hearing the students’ answers, Yu Zhen asked again:

   "Then why do you think so?"

   There was another silence, but someone raised his hand immediately:

"Mr. Yu, it's the last reversal. Xu Xin...uh... Xu Sanjin's mother called, and we learned from his answer that today is his birthday. Lying to my mother in order to show that hard-working attitude..."

"What you said is defined from the perspective of an audience. The conclusion given through the observation of the whole story, as I said, you are the director, and you have to think about the whole story from the perspective of the director. This is not the answer I want... Anyone else?"

  At this time, a person raised his hand, and after Yu Zhen nodded, he said in a very awkward Mandarin:

   "It's old~ it's... the old story~ the spicy four... the house... the old house... the room~ push...push... push...they...only...finally...change...turn...the angle, that's why...just...success~"

  His Mandarin is extremely bad, but everyone is used to it.

  Huang Minggui, a Korean student studying in Beijing Film Academy based on his strength.

  China’s films in the past few years have won many awards abroad, and many Koreans came here with an attitude of learning.

  The same is true for Huang Minggui.

  For this reason, this guy also specially studied at the Chinese Academy for half a year... Although it was only half a year, he might understand and communicate normally, even if the pronunciation is not standard, but this attitude is enough to make people agree.

  After hearing his words, Yu Zhen nodded:

   "Okay, that's the story in those four rooms. Okay... Now let's fast-forward to the first room."

  Handled the remote control to operate it, and soon, from the drunk man seeing the charming shadow in the room, to the embarrassment when he came out to wipe his face after paying fifty yuan.

  Yu Zhen pressed the pause button:

   “Can someone tell me what this room is saying?”

"The gap between rich and poor?"

  As soon as she asked, someone answered immediately.

  Ke Yuzhen shook her head when she heard the same answer as she had before:

"This proposition is too big. As I said, you have to think about it from the perspective of a director. Obviously, the main theme of this film has already been revealed, which is "the future". Then let me ask, a 13-minute film is enough to support the appearance of two big ones." Is it a proposition? What's more, it's a script with such a high degree of completion."

   As she spoke, she drew a circle on the blackboard:

   "The gap between the rich and the poor is this big circle. The direction, you are right, but what Xu Xin wants to express in this film...or in the first room is only a very small and insignificant part of this big proposition."

   Clicking another point in the circle, she continued to look at the students:

   "Who will answer me?"

   seat.

   "Hey, what is it? Give me a hint."

  Hearing Qi Lei muttering to himself, Xu Xin said quietly:

   “Recognizing that I am so needy.”

  Qi Lei raised his hand directly:

   "Recognize how poor you are!"

  Unexpectedly, just after he finished his answer, he saw Yu Zhen dumbfounded, pointing at Xu Xin:

   "Xu Xin, stand behind me in this case!"

   Apparently, she saw...

   Now the duo in the dormitory are a little embarrassed.

  But Yu Zhen simply pointed it out:

"That's right. The first room, whether it's the dancing girl, the successful man in a suit or leather shoes, or those plots like giving money, are all serving the core of the story. And Xu Xin's first story, Under the big proposition of the gap between the rich and the poor, I will tell you from the perspective of the protagonist: here, I realize how poor I am. And what does this theme of poverty echo? If you are a poor person , then what do you need to do? Study? Practice martial arts? Struggle? Work hard? All your actions are serving yourself. And the goal of your service is..."

  Followed by her speech skills, the students who understood what the teacher was saying said in unison:

"future."

   "BINGO~"

  Yu Zhen nodded, and wrote a line on the blackboard:

   "Recognizing how poor I am →"

  I didn’t write after the arrow, because she still wanted to talk about the second room:

   "Then, let's continue to watch, look at his second room, pay attention, continue the thinking of the first room, use this director's thinking, and answer me after watching, what is Xu Xin expressing."

   After speaking, the screen will play.

  The story continues.
