I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 3: 003. Time does not give me

Chapter 3 003. Time does not give me

Does Xu Xin know what he is talking about?

Of course he knew.

It's just that he didn't expect... his script... Mr. Yu, the deputy director of the director department, really didn't understand it.

After thinking for a while, he got up and walked to the desk of the other party, pointing to the script and saying:

"Teacher Yu, have you read my first story?"

“…read.”

"Then you should see what I want to express?"

Yo?

Is this testing me?

Yu Zhen felt more and more absurd, but she still nodded:

"The gap between rich and poor."

But as soon as the words came out, she suddenly saw her student shaking her head.

"No, no, you are wrong."

"..."

Seeing that the other party was silent, Xu Xin didn't show off, and said directly:

"Teacher, what you see is only the first layer of lasagna."

"...???"

What cake?

Yu Zhen was a little confused, but Xu Xin continued to say:

"Also, your perspective is not on the protagonist, but from the perspective of a bystander. But you said in class that the so-called protagonist actually serves the plot. In many cases, the protagonist comes as a promoter It drives the plot."

"Yes, that's right."

Yu Zhen was quite relieved.

Although I often fall asleep in class, it seems that I have also listened to lectures.

But Xu Xin's words immediately made her feel uncomfortable.

"Mr. Yu, my first story is very simple. The protagonist strays into a room. There are a group of rich people sitting in the room. On the table in the middle of the sofa, a girl is dancing pole dance. He thinks it is fresh, Or maybe I felt a little agitated, so I kept watching until the girl started asking for tips. Others piled up piles of 100 yuan, and finally arrived at the protagonist. Then he touched his pocket, It was only over one hundred. After hesitating for a while, he gave the fifty, and left in embarrassment under the strange eyes of the girl.

From the time he saw the girl in those suits, it looked like a rich person dancing, whether it was their cigars, or XO, or the one designed later was borrowed from Western strip clubs to give tips The tipping plot was actually prepared for the last scene where the girl was stunned when she took the fifty dollars from the protagonist. In the first act of the story, the so-called gap between the rich and the poor is just an appearance. In fact, its real core is to let the protagonist come out of the first KTV room to realize how poor he is. Moreover, there is also an introduction to an open ending..."

"..."

In an instant, Yu Zhen frowned.

Poverty?

Poverty as the protagonist?

Originally, she thought that it would be impossible to interpret the plot in this way. But following Xu Xin's reminder, she opened the script again, and when she read every word carefully... she suddenly found that everything Xu Xin said was right...

If you look at it from the perspective of the protagonist, from the beginning when he couldn’t find his room and went to the wrong room, to the self-deprecating smile that touched his face when he came out at the end...

It turned out to really express how poor I am compared with rich people.

"..."

Looking at the script in silence, she suddenly asked:

"What about the second room, what do you want to express?"

Facing this problem, Xu Xin is the same as before:

"Teacher Yu, what about you? What did you see?"

When he said this, there was a childish teasing smile on his face.

Students playing tricks on teachers?

Hey.

Unfortunately, Yu Zhen was not angry.

It is full of interest.

Students test the teacher?

This student Xu Xin...

It's kind of interesting.

…

The time is close to 11 o'clock.

"The tone of the narration at the end is very important, because if the tone is decadent, maybe it's just an ordinary night. It's nothing more than a drunkard's experience. But if you use a ... to convey to people "I'm trying, my Tomorrow will be better", then the whole film fits the theme of my script. What I want to express is that young people nowadays should be full of hope for the future, taking advantage of housing prices... or Before life makes them despair, strive for their own tomorrow. This is the full expression of my script."

"..."

Following Xu Xin's conclusion, Yu Zhen's idea of "bought from this script" has long been thrown into the trash dump in a ridiculous way.

This time, she didn't have any doubts.

I know best what my child looks like.

Having worked in the film industry for half her life, if she doesn't even have the basic ability to distinguish whether a script is written by the screenwriter herself, then she is not worthy of this position.

Without this misunderstanding, when she looked at her student in front of her again, she felt a kind of...

The sense of déjà vu of a treasure left in the sea.

Before... did I really miss it?

Or, what happened to my student in just a few days, and the prodigal son turned back?

But no matter what, as a film practitioner, she has to admit that this script is great.

at the same time…

Contradictions also come.

Myself...what should I do?

The room fell silent again.

A few minutes later, Yu Zhen, who had made up her mind, looked at the young man in front of her and said:

"There is no problem with the script. However, Xu Xin, I also hope you understand that you are a young director. The test for you is not whether you can get a good script as a director, but... when you When you got the script, how should you interpret it.

This is the responsibility of a director. I don't know if you came to see me today, whether you want me to read the script of this short film for you, or whether you plan to shoot it and want to get my opinion. But what I want to say is... If you decide to shoot, OK, no problem.

I can give you some help from my acting classmates. But... you also have to understand my concern. I'm afraid you won't be able to fully express it. Or you can't express the kernel you wrote yourself! Do you know what I mean? "

"clear."

Xu Xin suddenly showed a mouthful of small white teeth:

"I came to you just to ask for some help. As for whether I can express it... Hey, Teacher Yu, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. If you don't take pictures, how will you know? Right?"

"...But this film will definitely have investment costs."

"I know."

Seeing the teacher frowned, Xu Xin shrugged indifferently:

"I thought about it for a while, and the most exaggerated is only a million or so. Is that also called money?"

"..."

Yu Zhen was speechless.

I can't even say a word.

After holding back for a while, I could only say in the end:

"It's a holiday now. I can only find you local students from the acting department in Yanjing, or some students who haven't left yet and are in the film and television bases such as Feilonggu and Huairou. But these need to be dispatched and coordinated. If you want If you want to shoot, then you have to set a time, and I will be in charge of coordinating for you.

Also, write down the casting requirements and send them to my mailbox. Although I know that your family is rich, but it is a bit mundane for this kind of classmate to help out... In this way, the students in the school pay 30 yuan a day. Group performances follow the current price, only fifty or sixty.

If there is any difficulty in the venue, I will try my best to help coordinate, but as a director, I believe you should also be familiar with this kind of KTV scene, first try to do it yourself, do more, try more, and more Accumulate experience... well, that's all, go for it. "

This is the opinion and guarantee given by Yu Zhen.

It was a great help.

Xu Xinxin said.

With the script in hand, he was rushing for lunch. After eating some casually in the alley in front of the school, he drove back home.

There was almost no rest, and I started thinking about it in front of the computer.

Who is the protagonist?

It must be me.

The protagonist's name is Xu Sanjin.

As for the supporting roles...the first scene needs group actors, because they have to play some successful people. The age is a little bit older. And the most important character in it is the girl who can dance.

She is very eye-catching, but she needs the most basic physical conditions.

First of all, the legs should look good.

Must be thin and long. Otherwise, wearing stockings will not reflect the charming feeling of the night scene...

Yep.

The makeup should also be beautiful, and there must be a sense of desire that radiates from the heart to the appearance.

Um…

Crackling.

The keyboard starts typing.

With the rough outline in his mind, he began to write his basic requirements for casting.

Soon, with his inspiration crackling like a diabetes insipidus, the eloquent casting request of five or six thousand words was basically finished in the afternoon.

After reading it carefully and making sure that there was nothing missing, he sent it directly to Teacher Yu's mailbox.

Almost in seconds, on Penguin, Yu Zhen, who just added it not long ago, replied:

"receive."

"Thanks to the teacher."

"You're welcome, I'll take a look first."

"Yeah, okay, thanks for your hard work."

"You're welcome, you've written so much, haven't you eaten yet? Go and eat."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

Thank you politely again, Xu Xin touched his stomach, and subconsciously wanted to order a takeaway...

But immediately became dazed again.

In the dream in my mind, the mobile phone with various functions without a keyboard is too nonsense...

How could it be so advanced?

Also takeaway...

Eat instant noodles honestly.

With helpless thoughts and gradually cold hands and feet from not eating, he came to the kitchen again.

And it was just a meal, when he came back after eating, he saw Yu Zhen's reply:

"Xu Xin, I've checked the casting conditions. It's very detailed. I just made a few phone calls and talked to several instructors. When we talked about the girl in the first room, Director Sun of the Acting Department recommended Met a girl. I'm waiting for news."

"Xu Xin, that girl just replied to me. She's fine. I asked her to come to the school for an audition tomorrow. Come over around 9:00 in the morning. I'll see if I can help you with a few more classmates today. The big guy hasn't left yet, and it's a great opportunity."

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. I asked her to wear stockings tomorrow. If you want to audition with makeup, you'd better find a makeup artist."

"Well, I just received a few replies. Several classmates are here. There should be enough people in your second room. There are about ten people, and they are all free tomorrow."

"The camera can be provided, but you have to pay for the film yourself. I still have three discs here, which should be enough for you to use. You can just take it, no money."

"It is very important to find the venue as soon as possible."

"..."

Seeing the teacher's reply, Xu Xin was a little moved for no reason.

Is this the responsibility of a teacher?

He unconsciously lit a cigarette for himself...

Suddenly regretted why I wasted so much time.

Perhaps, this is something that many people will only understand and regret after they bid farewell to the campus?

You don't cherish what you used to be.

On the contrary, after losing, the real regret is too late.

Master Xing was not lying at all.

Time waits for no one, time waits for no one...Xu Xin really hopes that many people can see her emotions now.

Because, he really hopes that those students who are still studying can understand how precious the time on campus is through his negative example of being unstingy.

"Hoo..."

A long, long puff of smoke spewed out.

Xu Xin typed a line of words on the laptop keyboard with trembling fingers:

"Thank you Teacher Yu. Thank you!"

It's still seconds.

The teacher whose profile picture is a cartoon frog quickly replied:

"You're welcome, you should. 【Flowers】"

Feeling the responsibility of the teacher, Xu Xin has no intention of wasting time.

Stuffed out the cigarette, got up and walked out.

Moments later, Ferrari merged into the busy nightlife in Yanjing.

Was casting difficult?

No.
