As the top art academy in the world, the American Academy of Drama is equipped with the most advanced facilities, which can meet all the screening needs of the 90s.The staff in the screening room have long been accustomed to the dean and dean visiting from time to time, standing in front of the projector and asking: "Whichis you want to watch, professor."

"The one I've been watching for the last few days," said Kestner. "No tea for Mr. Barack."

Colin Barack has a habit of drinking tea when watching movies or short films, but since it is a short film, it’s okay not to prepare.He didn't pay attention to this detail, and followed Kestner into the inner hall.

The lights dimmed quickly.

The background music for the short film is very simple.

It has no extra notes, it is just fulfilling its task of not making the picture monotonous, plain and never overwhelming.A pen, a hand, and an arm appear in the center of the picture, until finally the full view is revealed, a little girl sitting at a desk, holding a pencil and writing.

There is nothing special about the color matching and soundtrack, but Colin felt a kind of bone-chilling indifference in the final picture.That kind of indifference is not scorching, it just stays quietly in the picture, but its existence is abrupt, like a landscape painted with steel gray, cold and stiff.

In the picture, the little girl raised her head and smiled slightly.She smiled childishly, frankly and straightforwardly, and Colin suddenly felt a little uneasy about this smile: when she smiled, the originally flat music seemed to suddenly have a note that was too high, and the change lasted only for a moment, leaving The audience's uneasiness persisted.

The little girl rolled up her homework book and pen carefully, as if putting away something she cherished most.She opened the dilapidated wooden door, and the landscape outside the door was clear and clear. When the camera turned, the person standing by the door turned into a beautiful girl.

The girl smiled slightly at the camera, the same size as the little girl before, but the content was quite different.She smiled beautifully, there was a lingering aura between her brows and eyes, but her eyes were sad.

She may be a professional actor, and her acting skills are obviously much more mature than that of a little girl. The details of her performance are more precise, but she maintains harmony with the overall atmosphere. If it is a scenery, it is natural.

Beauty is fleeting.

To express the past, the director's technique is very simple.On the low hill, three mounds are arranged in sequence.An old woman knelt in front of a grave, crying.Hearing the crying, Colin realized that the little girl and young girl didn't have a single line, and thousands of words were all contained in the camera lens and eyes.

He could feel the despair and sorrow from the old woman.That despair was almost directly instilled in his brain, without a trace of emotion.

The ultimate blank space gives the actors the greatest room for development.It can also be considered that the style is soaked in every detail, and the color is changed with the blank white paper --- the personal style is strong, but it will not be restrained by it.

He will make movies in the future, and he should be able to shoot a wide range of genres.

The old woman put a piece of paper in front of the smallest mound and set it on fire.The camera gradually zooms out, covering the hills, villages, and cities, changing with each passing day, and finally freezes on the old woman sitting on a chair in the twilight.

"I'm 70. It's a long life, but I don't want to live so long."

"I got married and became a widow at the age of 20. At least I have a son who is promising and able to work. I married a daughter-in-law and soon had a granddaughter."

"When my granddaughter was seven years old, the son and his wife said they wanted to change the door to the granddaughter's room. They went up the mountain to cut wood and fell down the mountain."

"I only have my granddaughter. I think that at least I have my granddaughter, so I can live on."

"But the granddaughter grew up and was ashamed to go. The weather was hot and the inflammation couldn't be cured, so she went too."

"I really hate the man who was killed. He was killed, but I lost my granddaughter."

The old woman bent down and wept softly.A piece of paper emerged on the screen, with crooked handwriting on it, full of childishness:

"I finally turned seven yesterday, and I can read more."

"Mom and Dad said they would change the door for me. I'm happy. I don't need to blow the wind when I write in the future."

"Grandma said she was going to make dumplings for me, and I like them the most."

"I love my family and we want to be together forever."

The girl's crisp voice echoed in the projection hall. Colin couldn't understand Chinese, but he understood the feeling.

The last shot is a brand new door, made of wood.

Time can pass, life can be rich, but the pain of the past can never be healed.

Colin thought of the girl from before.She is so pure and beautiful, like an elf in the mountains, but in the face of real disasters, all the good things are easily destroyed --- if natural disasters and man-made disasters do not happen, she can grow up safely, how much it would be Good thing!

In all fairness, the script is actually very weak, but the weak script makes the audience even more amazed at the director's genius when they recall it afterwards.

Colin finally understood where the indifference he felt at the beginning came from --- this tragedy was man-made, it was completely avoidable, and it didn't have to happen. It was made into a short film to capture people's sorrow, But the sad creator's attitude towards this is extremely cold and sober, and he is indifferent to all this.

From another point of view, I understand that this is actually because the director's skill is not enough. The film is expensive to be true and moving, but the director presents the truth with falsehood, and the audience is sad and angry.

In this moment, he is the god of the movie.

And Colin's only feeling is that he finally got a glimpse of the director's secret---he despises the world and hates this injustice, but he is too smart and rational enough to be proud of the world.

He lives negatively, but it is not himself who is abandoned.

The screen stopped abruptly.The pitch black screen is only the background music.It was only then that Colin discovered that the music had become complicated and subtle, but because the showmanship of the soundtrack always matched the level of photography, editing, and performance, it didn't feel abrupt at all.

This subtle gap is probably a reminder, using "errors" to tell the audience about their superb scheduling skills.But apart from this detail, Colin couldn't find the slightest element of showmanship.

And the most common mistake made by new directors, especially those with outstanding talents, is not to demand more and more from the film?

"He is a genius, a genius who is difficult to make detours." Kestner turned on the light switch and stared at Colin's blank face. "Of course, he is different from other geniuses."

Colin's lips were trembling.

Of course he knows what a genius is. For example, Joe Hobbs, he will always remember the scene when he came to the interview in August last year. Carl asked him to play a fox. He didn't imitate any movements or sounds, but his lazy eyes suddenly brightened up.

He obviously has no special expression and actions, but there is nowhere to hide the cunning inadvertently revealed between his brows and eyes, and his agility is suffocating.The resemblance is extremely similar, and the gap in appearance has been forcibly narrowed --- he is clearly standing in front of the window sill, wearing a simple T-shirt and slacks, but you only need to look at him and feel the breathtaking aura. You will forget everything in the hustle and bustle of the city, and believe from the bottom of your heart that you are in the mountains and forests.

He is an undoubted genius, and the word "amazing talent" seems to have been born for him. You can feel his overwhelming talent and talent like a tsunami as soon as you meet him --- but Zhao is different from him.

You will be amazed by him, subconsciously aware of his extraordinary talent, you want to continue to spy on him, want to find out the upper limit of his talent, but he seems to be extremely stingy about showing his talent.

He uses his talent when he needs it, and everything serves the film. After all, he has never been powerless when he needs talent.

"You won." Colin calmed down a bit, "He is indeed talented as a photographer, but as a director, that talent is simply not worth mentioning."

If the director is particularly good at certain aspects such as script, editing, and photography, then this quality must be more prominent in the works, but in Zhao's works, everything is very peaceful.

The only explanation is that his other abilities and talents are on par with photography.

"I have watched this short film many times, and every time I watch it, I am shocked that the director is only 17 years old." Kestner sighed softly, "Zheng told me that in terms of talent, Zhao is above him. Proud of his teacher. I know how it feels, and that's what I thought when I met Joe."

"I understand." Colin nodded, with a slightly regretful tone, "If this short film is taken to a film festival, it will definitely win an award."

"I asked Zheng why he didn't send it to the film festival, and Zheng told me that even winning an award in Venice is not a high enough starting point for his students." Kestner said, his tone 'can't help but raise his voice,' he said. A work sent to a film festival should be a feature film, and that film will be the winner of the awards and a classic of the era. When he has the ability, Zheng will help him solve all worries and let him concentrate on filming, and that day Not too far."

"It's not that he is unsuitable for becoming famous at a young age, but once he appears in the world film circle, he can only shock the world in the name of a genius."

The professional knowledge involved in this chapter is purely made up. Although the author is in an art school, he really doesn’t know much about directing, so he will change it when he has the opportunity.Furthermore, because this section was added on a temporary basis, the material selection and design considerations for the short film are not proper (after all, the poster is a female student with no talent), please trust the taste of the dean and provost and the talent of Director Zhao
