Chapter 437 Young man, you walked through the sea of ​​time with your partner ([-])

After leaving the small theater, Teacher Long invited two students to have lunch at noon. During the meal, she mentioned that she still had an acting class for freshmen in the afternoon, so she simply called Wen Liang to be her teaching assistant. Returning to campus again, experiencing the warmth and coolness of life is naturally very happy, and immediately agreed.

When mentioning the teaching assistant, He Tianran asked on a whim if Mr. Long could come over this time and take up the position of acting director in the crew of "In the Wild".

The performance director in the crew initially completed part of the work on behalf of the director. Just like the crew is about to start a closed training camp, the performance director will carry out rehearsals for specific scenes based on the script, organize script readings, and help actors get into the role faster. To serve the performance effect desired by the director.

This kind of large-scale performance guidance is generally very common in large productions, but the so-called performance guidance now tends to focus more on the individual training of actors, which is equivalent to personal training in the gym, especially some traffic stars. In the current fast-paced film and television production and the low professionalism of some actors, the rationality of a professional performance director hardly needs to be discussed.

However, it just so happens that the two leading actors this time, Sui Chulang and Gu Qiaoman, and Wen Liang who is beside him now, were both Teacher Long's students.

I thought that Teacher Long would be moved by the cooperation with his disciples this time and the additional fee income, but Wen Liang frowned and shook his head calmly at He Tianran, but when the latter noticed By then, the performance teacher's face had already darkened...

"Gu Ling told me about this last year. She wanted to find a performance director to accompany her into the group and guide her personally."

Teacher Long put down the chopsticks in his hand and said seriously:

"I thought to myself at the time, you Gu Ling and Sui Chulang were all taught by me. How Wen Liang learned it back then, that's how they learned it. I have never been partial in this regard. Now it's time to hold Buddha's feet temporarily and go to school. Lazy, knowing that I am not professional enough, I have to sharpen my guns.

I don't understand, since when in the profession of an actor, you can hire someone to do the preparatory work such as studying scripts and designing characters?

I didn’t study when I was in school, now I’m here to make up lessons, sorry Xiaohe, I can’t do this job, I don’t know what they think, but they all graduated and asked me to teach them to perform live, my face is dull , Just when I didn't teach them well. "

He Tianran finally understood that his student was embarrassing professionally, and as a teacher, he must be disgraced. It has nothing to do with whether you are popular or not, and whether you have money or not.

From this point of view, Teacher Long is also a sweetheart, no wonder he likes Wen Liang and talks about her often.

He Tianran hurriedly added a few words, and added that the crew had a closed training session this time, not the kind of personal guidance, but mainly to help complete their own performance, so that the other party gradually relaxed.

"Mr. Long, look at my hips when I was learning acting. Fortunately, I am not a major, otherwise I would be scolded to death by you. The closed time before this shooting is two months, so I want to invite you out of the mountain. Check it out for me, anyway, you just take a day or two to come over on the weekend to take a look, just like you usually organize students to rehearse, and it won't delay the usual class."

He Tianran first laughed at himself and lowered his status, and then talked about the situation of the crew. It is very rare to get training time before the filming starts this time, because too many crews have already started filming, and the main actors cannot be decided. Often after getting the script for a day or two, before memorizing the words, they start to act in front of the camera. Therefore, the acting skills of the new generation of actors are being criticized by the audience. It is not only their own problem, but also the entire film and television industry today. , have become somewhat deformed in the fast pace of capital urging.

Not knowing whether it was for He Ranran's face or what, Teacher Long said suspiciously:
"Xiaohe, I think you have a good acting talent, and you don't have any problems communicating with the actors. I'm not surprised that you want to direct and act on your own in the future. How could you make it so embarrassing."

Teacher Long was not surprised, but He Tianran was surprised by these words:

"Ah? Then you scolded me the most..."

Wen Liang joked on the side: "Oh, Sister Long is like this, if you really can't do it, she just ignores it and doesn't even bother to talk about you..."

Well, He Tianran overturned Yu Hui's conclusion that he was not good at acting in the last audition, and felt a little complacent in his heart.

Regarding the matter of performance guidance, Teacher Long said that he still needs to think about it. After everyone has had lunch, He Tianran has to go to the Academic Affairs Office to ask about Yanbi. He also has classes in the afternoon, so let’s talk to Wen Liang and Long first. The teacher said goodbye, he hasn't come to school recently, and now the crew will start to start again soon, there will be many things to deal with at school.

In fact, there are many film academies for people like him who quit their studies due to work, and even have to postpone their graduation. She studied acting and was a well-known actor herself. In the end, she had no choice but to regard a commercial film she wanted to direct as her graduation work, and then she graduated smoothly.

Speaking of which, that movie did well at the box office that year, and this incident also became a good talk for a while.

The three major majors of the directing department, playwriting, performance, and audio-visual language, are not only required for undergraduates, but also the courses for master’s degree students in directing are similar. It is nothing more than more detailed, more theoretical and cutting-edge, but it is really applied in practice. Opportunities, on the contrary, are not many, after all, movies really burn money.

He Tianran only had two classes in the afternoon, and it ended at four o'clock. After finishing his work, he went to see his tutor, Mr. Tian.

Mr. Tian is now 76 years old. Although the number of works is not much compared to the fifth generation directors of the same generation, his status and prestige in the film and television industry is definitely at the level of a godfather, not to mention his teaching and educating people Up to now, countless rising stars have been cultivated, but in the past few years, as they get older, they have not recruited any more students for two consecutive years. If there is no accident, He Tianran's classmate this year will be the last one he brought. a group of disciples.

Since he is a closed disciple, he naturally pays more attention to it than ordinary people.

After exchanging some pleasantries with the disciple who hadn't seen him for a while, Elder Tian asked directly:

"Naturally, is your script still being written?"

The script he was talking about was what He Tianran had written one after another in the past few years, and it was really a work planned for the big screen in the future.

He Tianran shook his head with a wry smile.

"I've written a little sporadically in the past two years. Teacher, I just finished filming "A Thousand Knots of the Heart" last year, and now I'm about to start another movie.

"And what?"

"And... Teacher, in terms of my life experience, I seem to... have no stories to tell the world."

He Tianran frankly confessed the current creative dilemma he encountered, from elementary school to high school, and then changed his career direction after graduating from university, and set foot in the film and television industry. In his short 25 years of life, He Tianran seems to have never encountered What big waves, so, let alone draw any inspiration.

Not all stories have to start from the heart, but a story that starts from the heart must be a good story. He Tianran wants to make a good story, a good story that can project part of his soul into the light and shadow. This is almost every story. Creators, every artist, are infinitely close to instinctive behavior when creating a work.

However, this should never be a forced affectation.

Elder Tian nodded at the honesty shown by his disciples, and said kindly:

"Naturally, it is also a manifestation of ability to know how to distinguish what is to express sorrow for new words. With your conditions, it is very good to know how to restrain yourself.

However, this is also the most contradictory part of you, because you just regard the matter of "expressing yourself" as very important, but your restraint restricts your thinking all the time.

This may be closely related to your growth environment. You have not experienced any ups and downs so far, let alone experienced any transformation in life. Naturally, it feels a little bit short to tell some of your own stories. You don't have to worry, whether it is Nietzsche crying horse , or Wang Yangming's Longchang Enlightenment, it all needs a process, as long as you live long enough, you will encounter everything, and when you do, you will be unable to finish what you want to say. "

"Pfft~"

He Tianran was amused by his mentor's humor, and the pressure on the future in his heart was relieved by half.

"What's more, it doesn't stipulate that every director must be an auteur-type director. Otherwise, most of the screenwriters will be unemployed, and [-]% of the commercial films in the global market will be wiped out."

"Teacher, what you said is true." He Ranran agreed.

The so-called auteur-director is simply a bigger concept than film stylization. It seems that Wong Kar-wai’s movie style is obvious, and there are many imitators, but none of these imitators are Wong Kar-wai, because the auteur-director is apart from the style In addition, there are often a lot of personal will and character colors in the works, and most of this personal will has got rid of the shackles of industrialization, and sometimes it is contrary to the entire market.

If you want to be more specific, it may be that the director will be deeply involved in the script, and not only to participate, but also to uphold a "me-based" principle to convey personal emotions from the root.

This is actually a test of the director's personal skills. Some directors think highly of themselves, claiming to be author-type directors, and interfere too much with script creation, resulting in neither commercial success nor much artistic value in the final film. ...

There are too many examples of this kind of failure. The most famous one is the director surnamed Chen who is as famous as Lao Mouzi. Even the screenwriters who have worked with him have told him not to touch the script, otherwise he will be finished. As soon as the incident broke out, it attracted netizens to play tricks one after another, and it became a joke that he couldn't get around.

He Tianran is very self-aware about this, even when he was revising the script of "A Thousand Knots", he already showed that he has this ability, but revising is one thing, and creating something from scratch is another. What's more, he still wants to extract an original blueprint from his own life. This difficulty cannot be easily accomplished by him with talent and money.

"By the way, next year you, a senior at CCTV, are going to shoot a documentary about the figures in Ming history. There is an old saying that you can know the ups and downs by using history as a mirror, and you can know the gains and losses by using people as a mirror. Do you want to follow and study for a while after filming? I can introduce you to each other."

Tian Lao pointed out a way for his apprentices. Documentaries are very good for training a director’s narrative skills and emotional transmission. Moreover, while shooting, the director needs to truly understand the reality and objectivity of the shots, even if the shooting is recorded in the text. It is also necessary to focus on feeling the thoughts and thoughts of the characters at that time, so that they can be expressed with the help of the lens.

Going to shoot a documentary will undoubtedly bring great help to the current He Tianran in his creation, but He Tianran still shook his head helplessly and declined the teacher's proposal. Now the company still cannot do without him, and he is not so much. Time to do something very pure.

"Don't be discouraged, let alone worry, but every master has the heart of an apprentice. It might be a good thing for you to be a student for a while longer."

In the end, Mr. Tian kindly drew an end to this master-student dialogue. He Tianran took this sentence deeply and kept it in his heart.

After chatting with my tutor, I came out of the faculty dormitory, and it was already around 40:[-] in the evening.

Thinking that Wen Liang and Teacher Long had already finished class, He Tianran took out his mobile phone and looked at it. An hour ago, Wen Liang made two calls, but he didn't answer in front of the instructor. Now he calls again and the same thing happens. Arrived at the situation where no one answered.

"It's almost here, she probably has gone back?"

He Tianran murmured, although he and Wen Liang made an appointment to go back to school together this time, but during the period, there were teachers by their side, and each of them had chores to do, so the two of them didn't have many chances to communicate alone.

"Hurry up, it's probably about to start."

"Oh, don't worry, this event is not on time..."

Just as some thoughts flashed through his mind in a disorganized manner, two people rushed out behind He Tianran, one of them accidentally bumped his arm, that person lowered his head slightly, expressed his apology, and left in a hurry.

When the setting sun was completely dimmed, He Tianran seemed to see a pattern of a butterfly tattooed on the back of their unconsciously waving hands...

This is the third time He Tianran has seen this pattern today.

He didn't know what that meant.

However, looking at their backs going away together, He Tianran, who was alone, suddenly wanted to make a phone call...

It's not for any reason, I just want to find someone to come out and chat with.

Wen Liang couldn't be contacted for the time being, Cao Aiqing was far away in the sky, He Tianran suddenly thought of Hu Yue, he seemed to live near the university town.

Almost the moment the phone was dialed, the phone was answered on the other side.

"Hey Xiucai, are you in the university town..."

"Director He, look to your front right, in the direction of two o'clock."

He Tianran, who was about to initiate an invitation, was interrupted by a sudden reminder. He turned around and saw two people squatting on the green belt of the campus in front of the teaching building about 100 meters away from him. Smoking next to the trash can...

The two waved at themselves...

It was Hu Yue and Cai Jueming.

For some reason, He Tianran didn't know the two of them very well, but at this moment a strong sense of intimacy surged in his heart, he walked over without saying hello, almost subconsciously, he squatted down without hesitation In the middle of the two, and on both sides, one is handing cigarettes and the other is getting angry. The movements are extremely natural. The eyes of the three of them are looking at a school girl who just came out of the teaching building just now. She is wearing shorts with hips and two legs. The three of them walked by...

Their gazes followed for a while in tacit understanding, during which no one spoke until the girl walked some distance away.

Cai Jueming, "I can't face."

Hu Yue answered, "The legs are fine."

He Ranran spewed a puff of smoke from his mouth and nose, "It's still warmer and hotter."

The two people around looked at Director He, who was in the middle, and only then did he laugh:
"Haha, objective evaluation, objective evaluation..."

After finishing speaking, the trio squatting next to the trash bin froze for a moment, and then burst out laughing in unison as if knowing what they had said.

"I came to school to attend classes. Editor Hu Caishe, you both have graduated, what are you doing together? Revisiting the old place?"

After He Tianran laughed, he asked casually.

"There are many entertainment activities here in the university town. Come and take a look if you have nothing to do, and help others to take pictures. Hu Yue, the animal, wants to take me back to school to take a look. I didn't say whether I would come or not. I have been watching it in college for four years. , He said come on, come on, I never get tired of looking at beauties, so I was dragged here by him, I didn't expect to meet Director He by such a coincidence."

"Cai Shengun, please stop wronging people! It is clear that you said that you are going to leave the peach blossoms today, and you must go back to school to pick up the wind. You should stop pretending to be innocent for me!"

Well, if He Tianran wasn't caught in the middle, the two would have to quarrel. Seeing Cai Jueming's Sony camera hanging on his chest, He Ranran took the opportunity to change the subject:

"Cai She, what event are you going to shoot this time?"

Hu Yue on the side took the lead in explaining:
"Director He, do you know that there is a livehouse called Yanjiao Lane on the other side of Universe Street?"

"It's the store opened by Lu Alan, right?"

"Yo, Director He, do you know Uncle Alan?"

He Tianran nodded: "Well, I just went to his main store on Zhengyang Street not long ago."

Hu Yueqi said: "Then don't you know? Recently, their family planned a flash music event called 'Underground Butterfly' in the university town. The bands are all student bands from nearby schools. Although they are not well-known, this event It's kind of fun, and it's free for publicity..."

After all, he took out a few tattoo stickers from his pocket, which were exactly the butterfly pattern that He Tianran had seen before.

"This sticker was sent by Yanjiao Lane to confirm the identity, but it doesn't matter if it is there or not. At the beginning, they didn't even write the venue, they announced a pattern and time, and then left patterns all over the University City Let everyone find the clues, I thought it would be difficult, but in less than two days, it was deduced that the flash mob location is under the newly built subway station."

Hu Yue distributed the stickers in his hand to He Tianran and Cai Jueming. He himself took one and stuck it on the back of his hand, patted it off, and a butterfly appeared on the back of his hand like this.

He Tianran looked at the sticker in his hand in a daze, and Cai Jueming on the other side also pasted the pattern, and asked:

"Hey Xiucai, I seem to have heard that this pattern was designed by Sister Liang herself, right?"

"That's right, she has always wanted to get a tattoo, but as a public figure, she doesn't know what to think, this time it can be regarded as fulfilling her wish."

"Then will she sing this time?"

"It should be. Brother Alan has been making appointments with Xingzi. Maybe this time we can see the reunion of the disbanded INTERESTING."

"Hey, this is really rare... Director He, have you ever participated in this kind of flash mob before? Let me tell you, this is very interesting..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, He Tianran, who had been silent all this time, stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, then put the sticker in his trouser pocket, and didn't rush to stick it on his hand, only to see him turn his head and say to the two in a muffled voice. :
"Let's... let's go and talk while walking."

(Thanks to the "no hesitation" boss for his alliance, I am very grateful!)
