I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 38 038. Screening class

Yuan Shanshan was guarding the goal, and Yang Mi couldn't kick the ball out.

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

But what is supposed to come will always come.

During the one-hour class, Teacher Wu was talking on the side. Yang Mi went in one ear and out the other, just like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced...

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

The problem is that even if they sit at the same table in this class, they are still facing each other when they go back to the dormitory...

Damn it, pressing the window can leak air! ?

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 all have very distinct and mature personal styles. Their short films may seem simple, but in fact, every shot and actor needs The skills all reflect a strong personal style. These three videos are homework for everyone. I will upload them to the school network. After you watch them, you have to split and reorganize them. Like the three elements of acting I mentioned before, focus on the key points. Write an analysis of these and let everyone perform in the performance class next week..."

Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat...

Just listen to Teacher Wu continue to say:

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

Glancing at Yang Mi, Teacher Wu was no longer hiding it and said directly:

""not drunk""

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

Then the screen was paused:

"The reason why this film should be included in this class is actually very simple. First, it is accessible to everyone now, and it is most suitable for your performance style. It is similar to your level and easy to understand. Second, it is accessible to everyone. , his script seems simple, but it is actually very interesting. And through various small details, it will 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 concept is very Awesome. And fourth... The reason why the teacher put this film to the end is actually to let everyone watch the previous three mature director's films, and then watch this kind of movie. It's still very immature, but it's already on the right track. 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.

But when she turned around and looked at Yang Mi...

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

You're not so shy, are you?

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

"Okay, now let's take a look at this short film..."

At the beginning of the scene, the drunk man who had met Yang Mi three times appeared again in her peeking eyes.

As the close-up came, Teacher Wu’s last words rang out:

"Oh, yes, the director of this film is Xu Xin, who is in the first class of the directing 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 flew by.

But there are still 37 minutes before the end of class.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The classroom was quiet.

Everyone was looking at Xu Xin with extremely surprised eyes.

It was like looking at a monster.

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

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

Xu Xin stood up and shook his head:

"No, Teacher Yu."

"Okay, let me ask."

Yu Zhen waved her hand and asked him to sit down. Looking at the surprised eyes of the students in the class, she did not discuss any of the so-called "how about it, let's treat each other with admiration after three days of separation", but asked directly:

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

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

Just frowning in thought.

Yu Zhen did not rush, but gave everyone ten seconds to think before continuing to ask:

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

The male student who was suddenly called on stood up subconsciously.

Being stared at by Yu Zhen, he hesitated for a few seconds and then said:

"What I feel is that... uh... the lighting and other adjustments... are quite suitable, and the shooting is also very stable, and the look and feel is very smooth. Even the blurry shots at the back did not give me any discomfort... "

"stop."

Yu Zhen interrupted him:

"What you are talking about is something that only those in the photography department will consider. I am talking about the director. As a director, what do you think of this film? Or... let me ask another question, can anyone tell me? Me, what is this movie about?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

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

Therefore, she gave two directions:

"Is it the experiences and adventures of a drunkard at KTV? ... Or is it from the perspective of these young people working and working hard in big cities, showing their circumstances, efforts and expectations for the future?"

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

“Looking forward to the future.”

"It must be the back."

"It should be the back, right?"

"..."

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

"Then why do you think so?"

There was another moment of silence, but someone immediately raised their hands:

"Teacher Yu, it's the last reversal. Xu Xin...uh...Xu Sanjin's mother called. Through his answer, we found out that today is his birthday. It is obviously his birthday and he is accompanying a client. She also had to lie to her mother just to reflect her hard-working attitude..."

"What you said is defined from the perspective of an audience. The conclusion is drawn through the observation of the entire story. I said that you are directors and you should think about the entire story from the perspective of the director. This is not the answer I want... …Anyone else?"

At this time, a person raised his hand. After Yu Zhen nodded, she said in a very awkward Mandarin:

"Old like~ It's...the old system~the old system of the four...house...rooms~asked...to push...to push...they...finally...change...turn...the angle, That’s why...it was...successful~"

His Mandarin is extremely poor, but everyone takes it for granted.

Huang Minggui, a Korean international student who was admitted to Beijing Film Academy based on his ability.

Tianchao's films have won many awards abroad in recent years, and many Koreans come here with an attitude of learning.

The same is true for Huang Minggui.

For this reason, this guy even studied in a Chinese language college for half a year... Although it was only half a year, he might understand and communicate normally, even if the pronunciation is not standard, this attitude is enough for people to agree with.

After hearing his words, Yu Zhen nodded:

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

I took the remote control and operated it. Soon, the drunk man saw the charming shadow in the room, and then he came out and wiped his face after paying fifty yuan.

Yu Zhen pressed the pause button:

"Can anyone tell me what this room is saying?"

"The gap between rich and poor?"

As soon as she asked, someone answered immediately.

But when Yu Zhen heard the same answer as her before, she shook her head:

"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 been revealed, which is "the future." So let me ask, a 13-minute film is enough to support the emergence of two major movies. A proposition? What's more, the script is so complete."

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

"The gap between rich and poor is this big circle. You are right about the direction, 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?"

on the seat.

"Hey, what is it? Give me a hint."

Listening to Qi Lei's muttering to himself, Xu Xin quietly said:

“Recognize how needy you are.”

Qi Lei raised his hand directly:

“Recognize how needy you are!”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished answering, he saw Yu Zhen looking dumbfounded, pointing at Xu Xin:

"Xu Xin, please stand behind me!"

Apparently, she saw...

Now the dormitory duo were a little embarrassed.

But Yu Zhen simply pointed out:

"Yes, in the first room, whether it is the dancing girl, the successful man in a suit, or the scenes such as giving money, they all serve the core of the story. And Xu Xin's first story, Under the big theme of the gap between the rich and the poor, I will tell you from the protagonist's personal perspective: Here, I realize that I am so poor. 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 to serve yourself. And the goal of your service is..."

Following her words, the students who understood what the teacher was saying said in unison:

"future."

"BINGO~"

Yu Zhen nodded and wrote a line of words on the blackboard:

“Recognize how poor you are →”

There is no writing after the arrow because she also wants to talk about the second room:

"Then, let's continue watching and look at his second room. Pay attention and continue the idea of ​​​​the first room. Through this director's idea, after reading it, answer me what Xu Xin expressed."

After saying that, the screen played.

The story continues.
