I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 8 008. It's over

  Frankly speaking, the dishes in Beiying Canteen taste pretty good.

  Especially now when the students are on vacation and only the teacher's cafeteria is open, there is no big pot of rice. Although the teacher's small stove is not very exquisite, at least it makes Xu Xin, who has not eaten seriously for the past two days, sweat on his forehead.

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

   It's just a pity... I have to meet people in the afternoon, otherwise today's ups and downs can't stop him.

   And at noon, Yu Zhen didn't ask her student to wait in the classroom, but directly called her to her office to give Xu Xin a little trouble.

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

  Two 535 cameras produced by Arris in Germany, three reels of film provided by Yu Zhen free of charge, cash register microphones, etc. were all provided to Xu Xin.

  At this moment, Yu Zhen began to guide him "hand in hand" how to shoot.

  No way, when she learned that her student had already invested 200,000 in venue fees for this vacation homework, in order not to let the money go to waste, she had to take responsibility.

   And Xu Xin didn't say anything like "200,000 drizzle" this time, because this was the care Teacher Yu gave him.

   Nothing to do with money.

  …

"In this kind of night scene shooting, the most important thing is the combination of lighting and photography. Lighting is the main thing, you know? Don't be arrogant, and communicate with the seniors. This time, two junior seniors came here. You state your shooting requirements, and then watch others give you the effect. Be kind, you know?"

   "Yeah, I understand."

  …

   "If it's really not good for radio recording, then post-production, after all, the KTV environment is too noisy. Shoot the film first, as long as the effect is good, it will be the same in the school's recording studio later."

"Uh-huh."

  …

"I think these few shots of yours need to be changed. You see, the environment of KTV itself will appear ambiguous. If you use this kind of far-angle shot, it will give the audience a sense of alienation, so I suggest you cancel all the far-angle shots. Except for the ending where your taxi went away at the end..."

   "Hmm... OK."

  …

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

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

  There is a revised draft of the shot, and some shooting points.

To be honest.

   Benefited a lot.

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

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

   It makes him wish he could pick up the camera now and take a good picture...

   And after 3 o'clock, he also saw seven or eight seniors in down jackets in the classroom.

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

   "I am Zhang Mingyuan from the Recording Art Department."

   "Yang Chaochao from the third class of photography."

   "Art designer Lin Xiaoyun..."

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

no way…

  Xu Xin is too famous.

  It’s not that Beiying doesn’t have good family conditions, but it’s the only one like Xu Xin.

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

   So everybody knows he's rich.

  Especially the few people in their dormitory, there are 4 people in a dormitory, and two of them directly added an LV wallet for their birthdays, all of which were given by Xu Xin.

  Although people are not the particularly arrogant type and are not very annoying, it is impossible to drive a Ferrari to school without being noticed.

  And Teacher Yu brought Xu Xin here today?

  For a while, a few juniors this year, who will start looking for internships next semester, gradually became concerned.

   In fact, it is nothing more than those situations.

   Teacher Yu has collected the money.

   Teacher Yu received the gift.

   Teacher Yu received money and gifts.

   Otherwise, what else?

  Although there is nothing in the school, Xu Xin's pushy personality when he goes out to play has been publicized by a few people in the same dormitory, and the whole school is well known.

  When I was a freshman, if nothing else happened, the directing department should make a short film as homework, right?

  This rich second generation wants to show off, and then ask Director Yu to come to the platform and make a movie?

   It should be like this and it didn’t run away.

  However, although I wanted to understand this point in my heart, there was not much expression on everyone's face, and they still looked like they were obeying the teacher's orders.

   itself, they are studying this major.

  And if it is really filmmaking... then it will be a very important work experience on the resume.

   Certainly no one will refuse.

  Until...they heard Yu Zhen say "Let's make a short film".

   Fang Xiu was the first to show disappointment.

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

   Xu Xin, who saw everything in his eyes, didn't say a word.

  Everyone is not familiar with it, so if you have a running-in at work, put it on work. Now it doesn't work at all to say something is wrong.

   Might as well leave it all to Teacher Yu.

   Sure enough, Yu Zhen, who didn't see the expressions on the faces of these students, directly took out the script copied in the morning, sent it to several people, and said:

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

  Yu Zhen's words are actually very supportive of Xu Xin.

   But not too much.

   But it belongs to the meaning of forcibly joining the big guys into a team.

  Using my status as a teacher, I can eliminate the strangeness in the hearts of these first-time cooperators to the greatest extent.

  Then, with a bit of thought for the students to experience themselves, she said again:

"Okay, as for the equipment, Xu Xin will take you away. Remember to protect it well. Xu Xin, you have a meeting with everyone, and talk to the big guy about the shooting concept and requirements of this script, so that everyone can feel at ease. Let’s chat here, the teacher will not bother you, if you don’t understand anything, 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 farewell sounds of these people, Yu Zhen waved her hand and left.

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

  Xu Xin felt happy.

  Others may not understand, but he understands the meaning of Teacher Yu's last look.

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

  Understanding, he said directly as soon as the teacher left:

"Seniors and sisters, let's read the script first, and then let's go to see the venue. I'll delay everyone's work tonight. After discussing it, I'll find a few specific group performers tomorrow and start filming as soon as possible. How about it? ?”

"good."

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

   A moment later, there was the sound of pages turning in the classroom.

   Then, the first person to speak appeared.

  Fang Xiu from the Photography Department turned his head to look at Xu Xin with slight surprise in his eyes and said:

   "Xu Xin..."

   "Well, Brother Fang, tell me."

"Well…"

   Hearing this title, Fang Xiu was obviously a little uncomfortable.

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

   unexpectedly high...

  At first glance, it looks unremarkable, just like a drunk man's experience in KTV.

  But in the end, through a small turning point at the end, the whole script was instantly sublimated.

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

  He has no prejudice against Xu Xin himself.

   There is even a feeling of envy...

  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 came across a good script, he made an opinion after using his professionalism:

   "Is it possible to use obfuscation?"

   "Like?"

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

   Seeing Fang Xiu's sudden reaction, Xu Xin blushed:

   "Self-directed and self-acted, self-directed and self-acted..."

"Well…"

  Fang Xiu opened his mouth and nodded:

"It's okay. Anyway, it probably means...you drank too much, right? Then the more you drank, I thought...can the lens be blurred? At first it was just blurred edges, and then it became more and more blurred and blurred. Fuzzy, until you sat outside and fell asleep in a daze... Wouldn't that be more immersive?"

"Well…"

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

   A picture with the first-person perspective as the lens gradually appeared in my mind.

  In the beginning, it was shaking, then it was shaking and the border was blurred... Then I used that kind of abstract lens to reveal the picture... Finally, it was dark, and after a few seconds of pause, it restarted to imply the passage of time...

   "Good idea! It's ok, 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.

  Hearing what he said, Fang Xiu waved his hand:

   "Small, no problem."

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

   "..."

  Fang Xiu's mouth twitched, and suddenly he had a sense of sight that he dug a hole with his own hands and buried it for himself.

   And now everyone who has gradually finished reading the script also heard what the two said.

  Students, in any society, after all, there is a kind of innocence.

  How is the quality of this script?

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

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

   Not for anything else.

  Everyone is a practitioner in the film industry.

  Ten years of drinking ice, hot blood hard to cool.

  What others think, they don't care. But at least in their eyes...

  This script is worth everyone's efforts!

  Since this is the case...then don't hold it.

   "Xu Xin, I have an opinion..."

"Uh-huh…"
