Crazy, 500 yuan also dare to make a science fiction blockbuster

"Teacher." Christopher stood, but seemed a little unsure how to speak.

"What's the matter?" Ye Heng looked at him, and actually guessed what he was thinking.

"There are two copies of the script you sent me yesterday."

"I know, Interstellar and Following."

"I'm a little surprised, because you have been trained and only give no one a chance."

"So, are you trying to criticize me for not keeping my word?"

Upon hearing this, Christopher quickly waved his hands, "No, I definitely didn't mean that!"

Seeing Christopher's flustered face, Ye Heng had a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'm joking, let's talk about something."

But at this time, Christopher seemed unable to speak, and he contemplated for a while before holding back a few words.

"I just want to say, thank you for your help, I will never forget it in my life!"

Ye Heng smiled helplessly, and patted his script.

"Interstellar was a great idea, but before doing something epic like this, you can practice with Following."

"Don't try to make an airplane from the beginning, try to fold a paper airplane first."

"Also, I'm not helping you. I don't want such a good idea to turn into a good movie."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Christopher's face.

"Thank you teacher." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Ye Heng looked at Christopher who was leaving, and smiled helplessly.

Fortunately, not every student is like Christopher, saying that he wants to save the opportunity for the next script.

Otherwise, Ye Heng might have to write twice as many scripts.

For the next six months, Ye Heng attended classes every day.

For him, this can be regarded as a good choice for rest.

At least not as high intensity as usual for filming.

As for the outside world, although they have heard about Ye Heng giving classes to directors at the Film Academy, Ye Heng's films are still released every three or four months.

Even without Ye Heng's movies, there are still various movies released in the new era.

Enough to satisfy people's desire to watch movies.

In the past six months, the pressure on the more than 200 directing students was far heavier than that of Ye Heng.

During the day, I listened to Ye Heng's class, and after class, I started to write the movie proposal assigned by Ye Heng.

And according to what Ye Heng said, every shot must be written in detail.

Some students with painting skills tried to draw the storyboard.

Those students who did not have painting skills in the back also started to learn to paint.

And some even directly drew their own movies into caricatures, and even rolled them up later, to see who drew more details, the persuasion is reasonable, the details are comprehensive, and so on.

For the whole half a year, they almost introverted each other, just to make the best shooting plan among all the people.

They know that even if they do their best, there will be no rewards.

But they still try their best to do it, because in their view, getting Ye Heng's approval is the best reward.

As a director, Ye Heng has become the supreme god in the hearts of all directors.

In the last teaching class, after Ye Heng finished speaking, he looked at the people in front of him.

"Your plan should be written."

Everyone nodded immediately, and took out their thick stack of plans one after another.

Seeing those proposals, even Ye Heng himself couldn't help but gasp.

"What a hole I dug for myself."

Afterwards, he continued to watch it, and he also had to modify it. He tried his best to ensure that every scene of the movie must be perfect.

And this definitely takes more time and more thought than writing the script.

But Ye Heng still decided to do it.

"Hand it all over."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately picked up their proposals and handed them over.

Finally, on Ye Heng's podium, a hill higher than Ye Heng was built.

Ye Heng looked at the hill and sighed helplessly.

Chapter 476 Citizen Kane

"Tomorrow everyone will gather at the playground, and we will start our 3-month film practice."

After hearing Ye Heng's words, everyone present immediately became excited.

It has been a full 8 months since I entered the academy.

After listening to the theoretical knowledge for so long, they have long wanted to go to the set to try these theories.

Now, Ye Heng is finally going to take them to practice these theories!

After speaking, Ye Heng glanced at the hill at his feet.

"Uh, is there anyone who can help me move these things back to my dormitory?"

When everyone heard this, they rushed forward one after another, snatched all the plans beside Ye Heng, and brought them back to Ye Heng's dormitory.

Ye Heng treated the people who helped him move the books to a meal, and then returned to the dormitory.

Looking at the plans piled up all over the room, he could only smile helplessly.

It may take three to five months for all these proposals to be approved.

Sighing, Ye Heng took out a plan book and began to read it.

While watching, I couldn't help but start thinking about tomorrow's "practical class".

This time the movie he chose was "Citizen Kane", a movie called "Director's Textbook" and "The Greatest Movie".

He has everything in him about how a director should schedule a movie set.

How to use lights, how to use sound effects.

What he represents is a pioneering existence of an era.

The application of deep focus technology, extremely low-angle overhead shots, etc., although some skills existed before him.

But it is precisely because of his application and improvement that it has had a huge impact on the film industry of later generations.

There are also such things as the composition of the scene, the language of the lens, the lighting of chiaroscuro, close-ups, and so on.

There are too many things in him, which are worth learning from a director.

Ye Heng chose to use this film for practice, precisely to allow them to learn the various points of a film in the most comprehensive way.

He felt he had to do it, to make it all remember.

Because Ye Heng didn't want to, one day he died, but people still don't know how to make movies and how to tell stories.

The reason why a movie is a movie is different from other ways of telling stories, not only because it has pictures and sounds.

Sound and picture are also available in drama, but there is still a world of difference between drama and film.

That is the lens language, chiaroscuro and so on of the movie.

An excellent filmmaker will let the film speak for itself.

……

The next day, Ye Heng looked at the more than 200 people who had assembled on the playground, and after roll call, he brought them to the set.

The shooting this time is naturally managed by New Era Company.

Ye Heng started filming, while more than 200 students crowded together and stood behind him.

These students wanted to step forward to see how Ye Heng made the film, but they didn't dare to step forward for fear of affecting Ye Heng's operation.

There is still some distance between them and Ye Heng, but no one dares to move forward.

Ye Heng turned his head to look at the crowd, and could only smile helplessly.

"After I finish filming, I will show you the content of today's filming, if it is appropriate, but after you go back, you need to write why I did this filming based on the knowledge I taught you before."

Hearing this, everyone was both happy and sad.

The reason why I like it is because I am happy to see the original film of Ye Heng.

As for worry, it is naturally because of the so-called "homework".

The shooting of the movie lasted from 9:5 am to [-]:[-] pm.

The group of students, except for some old and infirm, who really couldn't stand up, most of them stood for 10 hours abruptly.

Being able to stand for 10 hours abruptly, this perseverance even Ye Heng admired.

"I'll send you the original film now, and I'll edit it when I get back. I'll send you a rough edited version, and I'll hand in the homework in a week. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Everyone returned in unison.

Then, Ye Heng posted the original movie to the group.

However, although I shot for 10 hours today, there are not many usable materials. After cutting out various NG shots, there are still various problems. The usable materials only add up to 2 hours.

Of course, if you edit these 2 hours, it will be about 10 minutes of movie content, and if you are lucky, it will be more.

Less than 5 minutes after posting the movie content to the group, Ye Heng saw a message showing that all group members had accepted the news.

For the next three months, Ye Heng used this method to teach.

Film 10 hours a day, then send them back to do their homework.

Sometimes one assignment per day, sometimes one every three days, and sometimes one assignment per week.

And Ye Heng is also not easy, in addition to the daily shooting, he also has to approve proposals for them.

Three months is not too short a time, but Ye Heng has only approved two-thirds of the proposals.

Almost all of these directors who can come here to attend lectures have certain talents.

But after all, before coming here, they were making movies in the old way.

Even if some people imitate Ye Heng, and imitate it very well, there is still a big difference.

It still takes time and heart to get them right.

Ye Heng took the red pen, and when he saw something that was wrong, he went to correct it one by one.

Sometimes, on a single page, Ye Heng's red pen changed more things than the director student himself wrote.

The only thing he won't change is probably the storyboard draft.

The reason why the storyboard draft will not be changed is because Ye Heng is very self-aware of his own painting level.

Even though the painting skills of some students seemed to be worse than his, he did not change.

Moreover, the storyboard is always a conceptual thing, and it still needs to be revised later when it is actually filmed.

For three full months, Ye Heng gradually taught these students a lot.

From the very beginning, after watching the clips shot by Ye Heng, I couldn't make a single word all day.

Now, they only need to watch a clip of Ye Heng's movie, and they will soon be able to experience something from the movie.

What does it mean that the light and shadow cover the figure?What does it mean to use a close-up in this clip?Is it okay for me to use the upward angle of view to shoot this shot?What is the meaning of this composition?

They are slowly integrating what Ye Heng taught into their own understanding.

Now, in their view, Ye Heng'er's "Citizen Kane" is not just a simple movie, but their textbook.
