I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 8 008. Just rush and it’s over

Frankly speaking, the food in Beiying Canteen tastes pretty good.

Especially now that students are on vacation and only the teachers' cafeteria is open. Without the big pot of rice, the teacher's small stove is not very exquisite, but at least it makes Xu Xin, who has not eaten seriously in the past two days, sweat on his forehead.

It turns out that the braised noodles in Yanjing are no worse than the mutton noodles in northern Shaanxi.

It's just a pity... I have to meet someone in the afternoon, otherwise I won't be able to stop him today.

At noon, Yu Zhen did not let herself, a student, wait in the classroom. Instead, she called directly to her office and started a small stove for Xu Xin.

In the morning, the two of them went to the equipment room and rented all the basic equipment for this shooting.

Two 535 cameras produced by the German company Allais, three reels of film provided by Yu Zhen for free, a cash register microphone, etc. were all provided to Xu Xin.

At this moment, Yu Zhen started to guide him "hand-in-hand" on how to shoot.

There was nothing she could do. When she learned that she, a student, had invested 200,000 yuan in venue fees for this holiday assignment, she had to take responsibility in order to prevent the money from going to waste.

And this time Xu Xin didn't say anything like "two hundred thousand drizzle", because this was the concern that Teacher Yu gave him.

It's not about money.

…

"The most important thing about shooting in this kind of nightclub is actually the matching of lighting and photography. Lighting is the main thing, you know? Don't show off when the time comes, and communicate more with the seniors. This time we have two junior seniors, You state your shooting requirements, and then let others give you the results. Be nice, you know?"

"Yeah, I understand."

…

"As for radio, if it really doesn't work, then do it in post-production. After all, the KTV environment is too noisy. Shoot the film first, and as long as the effect is good, it will be the same in the school's recording studio later."

"Uh-huh."

…

"I think these shots need to be changed. You see, the environment of the KTV itself will appear ambiguous. Your use of such far-angle shots will give the audience a sense of alienation, so I suggest you cancel all far-angle shots. Except for the ending of your taxi driving away..."

"Um...ok."

…

From eating to 3 pm, a total of more than 2 hours, Xu Xin spent in the teacher's office.

When he came out, his notebook was already filled with four or five pages.

There are revised drafts of the shots and some key points of the shooting.

To be honest.

Benefited a lot.

He never thought... that there are so many ways to make movies.

At this moment, this industry seemed to have opened a door to a new world for him.

It made him wish he could pick up the camera right now and take a photo...

At around 3 o'clock, he also saw seven or eight seniors wearing down jackets in the classroom.

"Hello, Director Yu, I am Fang Xiu from the Photography Department."

"I am Zhang Mingyuan from the Department of Recording Arts."

"Yang Chaochao, Photography Class Three."

"Art designer Lin Xiaoyun..."

When these people introduced themselves to Director Yu, their eyes actually fell on Xu Xin.

no way……

Xu Xin is so famous.

It’s not that Beijing Film Academy doesn’t have families with good financial conditions, but people like Xu Xin are the only ones who have a good life.

He drove a Ferrari on the first day of school and parked it next to the school every day. There were tickets posted on the glass every day... and the location where he parked was nicknamed the "sky-high-priced parking lot" by his classmates.

So everyone knows he has money.

Especially the people in their dormitory, there are four people in one dormitory, two of them bought LV wallets for their birthdays, all of which were gifts from Xu Xin.

Although he is not a particularly arrogant type and is not very annoying, it is impossible for him to drive a Ferrari to school without attracting attention.

And today, Teacher Yu actually brought this Xu Xin?

For a time, several people who were juniors this year and would start looking for internships next semester began to have concerns.

In fact, it is nothing more than those situations.

Teacher Yu collected the money.

Teacher Yu accepted the gift.

Teacher Yu accepted money and gifts.

Otherwise, what else could there be?

Although it was nothing in school, Xu Xin's pushy personality when he went out to play was publicized by a few people in his dormitory and became known to the whole school.

When I was a freshman, if nothing else happened, the directing department should have asked me to shoot a short short film as homework, right?

This rich second generation wants to be in the limelight, and then asks Director Yu to come to the stage and make a movie?

It should be like this and he didn't run away.

However, although they had understood this in their hearts, no one showed much expression on their faces, and they still looked like they were obeying the teacher's instructions.

In itself, they studied this major.

And if you really make a movie... then it will be a very important work experience on your resume.

Surely no one would refuse.

Until... they heard Yu Zhen say, "We are going to make a short film."

The first person to show disappointment was Fang Xiu.

Others, more or less, had other thoughts after hearing the "short film".

And Xu Xin, who saw everything in his eyes, remained silent.

Everyone is not familiar with each other, so let’s put it into work. Talking about something that is not available now will not work at all.

It's better to leave it all to Teacher Yu.

Sure enough, Yu Zhen, who did not see the expressions on the faces of these classmates, directly took out the script that was copied in the morning, sent it to several people, and said:

"Everyone leaves each other's contact information and everyone will read the script. You are seniors and have certain work experience. Xu Xin is still a newcomer. Rather than having a clear division of labor, I think this is a common and very important thing for everyone. The process of accumulating good experience. Okay?"

Yu Zhen's words were actually protective of Xu Xin.

But not too much.

But it's the kind of force that connects the big guys into a team.

He used his status as a teacher to eliminate the unfamiliarity in the hearts of these people who were working together for the first time to the greatest extent.

Then, with some intention of letting the students practice on their own, she said again:

"Okay, as for the equipment, I will let Xu Xin take you away later. Remember to protect it well. Xu Xin, hold a meeting with everyone, tell everyone about the shooting concept and requirements of this script, and let everyone know Let’s talk about it here. The teacher won’t disturb you anymore. If you don’t understand anything, just come to the office and call me.”

"Okay, Teacher Yu."

"Goodbye, Teacher Yu."

"Thank you, Teacher Yu, for giving us the opportunity..."

Listening to the farewells of these people, Yu Zhen waved her hands and left.

But before leaving, he gave Xu Xin an incomprehensible look.

Xu Xin felt happy.

Others may not understand, but he understood what Teacher Yu's last look meant.

"The stage is set for you, and the rest is up to you."

He understood it by heart and said directly as soon as the teacher left:

"Seniors and sisters, let's read the script first, and then we'll go check out the venue. I'll take a while tonight to gather together. After we've discussed it, I'll find a few specific extras tomorrow and start filming as soon as possible. How about that? ?”

"good."

Fang Xiu took the lead and agreed, and everyone took their scripts and sat in two rows.

After a while, the sound of turning pages was heard in the classroom.

Then the first person to speak appeared.

Fang Xiu from the photography department turned to look at Xu Xin with a hint of surprise in his eyes and said:

"Xu Xin..."

"Well, Brother Fang, please tell me."

"Well……"

Upon hearing this title, Fang Xiu was obviously a little uncomfortable.

But what surprised him even more was the quality of the script.

It's unexpectedly high...

At first glance, it seems unremarkable, just like what a drunk man saw in a KTV.

But in the end, a small twist at the end instantly sublimated the entire script.

Fang Xiu, who originally thought that it was a task assigned by Director Yu and that he would do his best to complete it and make a good impression, obviously didn't think so after reading the script.

He has no prejudice against Xu Xin himself.

There is even a feeling of envy...

There is no way, who makes people rich?

But family background belongs to family background, and work belongs to work. If nothing else, just this script...

Really good.

When he encountered a good script, and after giving full play to his professionalism, he put forward an opinion:

“Can we use blurring?”

"For example?"

"For example... look, in the second room, Xu Sanjin... Sanjin... Xin... huh?"

Seeing Fang Xiu suddenly reacting, Xu Xin blushed:

"Direct and act on your own, direct and act on your own..."

"Well……"

Fang Xiu opened his mouth and nodded:

"That's okay. Anyway, the general meaning is... you drank too much, right? Then the more you drank, the more I drank. I thought... could the lens be blurry? At first, the edges were blurry, and then it became blurrier and blurrier. It becomes more and more blurry, and finally you are in a daze and fall asleep sitting outside... Wouldn't that be more immersive?"

"Well……"

Following Fang Xiu's train of thought, Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.

A picture from the first-person perspective gradually appeared in my mind.

It starts with shaking, then shakes and blurs the frame...and then uses an abstract lens to reveal the picture...and finally turns dark, pausing for a few seconds and then restarting to symbolize the passage of time...

"What a great idea! Yes, Brother Fang!... Is it difficult to shoot like this?"

Maybe it was Xu Xin's excited tone, or maybe it was the joy after being praised.

After hearing his words, Fang Xiu waved his hand:

"No problem, no problem."

"Okay, okay... How about I add another request? I want a first-person lens! No need for a close-up, just the camera starts to shake, how about it?"

"..."

Fang Xiu's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt as if he had dug a hole with his own hands and buried it for himself.

At this moment, everyone who had gradually finished reading the script also heard what the two said.

As a student, in any society, there is always a sense of innocence.

How is the quality of this script honestly speaking?

The answer is no, it’s really good, especially the subsequent reversal.

If they originally came for Teacher Yu, now they have gradually recognized Xu Xin through this script, whether it was written by the other party or not.

For nothing else.

Everyone is a practitioner in the film industry.

After ten years of drinking ice, the hot blood is hard to cool down.

They don't care what others think. But at least in their eyes...

This script is worth everyone's efforts!

If that's the case... then don't hold it any longer.

"Xu Xin, I have an opinion here..."

"Uh-huh……"
