Cross the road of the director

In November, when half a foot is in the winter, people invariably put on sweaters and coats to resist the ubiquitous cold wind outside.

The sun was shining brightly at noon on this day, and it was a rare good weather.

Lu Jue crossed half of the campus in the cold wearing a hooded sweater, and came outside the office of Professor Li of the Director Department.He knocked lightly on the door, and got permission to open it and walk in.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that his classmate Wang Yi was also there.

Professor Li is over seventy years old, with gray hair and kind eyes. He used to be a well-known theater director in China. Now he is in a semi-retired state, and most of his energy is devoted to preaching and solving problems.

He has an easy-going and humorous personality, lively and interesting lectures, and often jokes with the students. He is the most unassuming and popular teacher in their director department.

Seeing Lu Jue walking in, Professor Li smiled and said to Wang Yi, "... After the selection of all the professors, they all think that your "Runaway" can get a ticket for this microfilm competition."

Hearing this, Wang Yi smiled for the first time on his always gloomy face, showing undisguised joy.

Seeing his happy appearance, Professor Li couldn't help sighing: "You are excellent, and your works are also excellent. In terms of the quality of this work alone, "Runaway" can beat most of the students in the class. No one can deny its excellence, but at the same time it also has a fatal problem, you should know Wang Yi, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yi seemed to have been poked into a weak spot, his cheeks were flushed, and he froze in embarrassment for a long time without speaking.

Lu Jue found that the atmosphere was subtle, and immediately decided to breathe lightly, reduce the sense of presence, and give up the venue to Professor Li and the others.

"Violence!"

"I know you like thrillers and suspense, and you admire the aesthetics of violence in the United States, and think that is an excellent movie. I can feel that your "Runaway" refers to the style of overseas thrillers, and also brings our oriental elements. The two are different. The characteristics of the combination of each other are eye-catching, and you have done a very good job in this regard."

"I also like foreign thrillers, and I also like your "Runaway", but have you considered our national conditions? The violence in "Runaway" is too strong. Tell me what to do with the plasma that is full of screens Let the audience of the micro film contest rate it?"

"Don't talk about grading, your "Escape" may not even pass the website review."

Professor Li said sadly, with undisguised regret and anger on his face.

Wang Yi was silent, his expression changed again and again, but in the end he didn't collapse, and said with a face full of disbelief: "I just made a movie I like. And I didn't know about the micro-film competition when I made the short film. What? Contest? Isn’t it a program created by Dongyuan Entertainment to attract attention? What kind of gold content can it have? I don’t care.”

Professor Li: "..."

Indeed, when the short film homework was first assigned, even Professor Li and the others did not know about the Micro Film Competition, let alone these students.

When Dongyuan Entertainment issued the invitation, the students took half of the filming...

Professor Li knew in his heart that Wang Yi couldn't be blamed, but he still couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said angrily: "You still fight with me! Brat! You still fight with me, right? Favorite movie? Didn't you still like romance movies last year?" Is it? It’s not that there is no choice, why don’t you make romance movies? Romance movies are so cheap? Huh?”

Wang Yi: "..."

Looking at Professor Li, who was abusing his words, Wang Yi's anger just disappeared in an instant, and he stood aside with an aggrieved face, not daring to refute anymore.Even so, Professor Li still stared at him with a hint of distress in his eyes, obviously helpless about the current situation.

"When you watched "Runaway" and was rejected from the microfilm competition because of the subject matter, you brat will know what heartache is."

Hearing this, Wang Yi was still stubborn and stubborn, and would not let Professor Li step down at all.Seeing him like this, Professor Li fell back angrily.

The atmosphere between the two was deadlocked.

The old man was furious, and he made no secret of his concern for the students.

Lu Jue hurriedly stepped forward to pat Professor Li on the back, and said, "Student Wang Yi is shooting a short film for the first time, and it is normal to have feelings for "Runaway". Professor Li, take it easy, but you must not be like him." I'm so dumbfounded."

When Professor Li's mood stabilized, Lu Jue turned his face, stared at Wang Yi and said, "Professor Li has long acknowledged the excellence of "Runaway", and he is on your side, so don't be angry with him anymore." .”

Wang Yi: "It's not the first time..."

He wanted to say something, but he suppressed it because of the warning in Lu Jue's eyes.

"Professor Li, since you asked Wang Yi to come over, you must have some suggestions? You just say it directly, otherwise Wang Yi will never understand what you mean by himself."

Lu Jue squatted | coaxing the old man softly.

In just one year's classmate, he and Wang Yi didn't know each other well, but they also knew that this person was a stubborn literary youth.People like them often have dreams and are unwilling to compromise with reality. They generally have their own petty temper, which makes people headaches because of their stubbornness.

Lu Jue was not such a person, but envied their vigor and vitality.

"Ugh."

Professor Li also calmed down now, and said helplessly: "Wang Yi, there are still about three months before the deadline for registration. For the sake of "Runaway", I will give you a chance to reshoot. New stories, new works, if you bring them over, I will let you continue to participate in the semi-finals.”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jue and the others were shocked.

new story?

After all, the new story is not the original "Runaway", and no one can guarantee that Wang Yi's new work will be better than "Runaway".Even experienced and famous directors cannot guarantee that the next film will be better, let alone a novice like Wang Yi, the possibility of making a good film is too low.

If it is said that "Runaway" won the spot by virtue of strength, then Wang Yi's new work full of unknown factors is a back door and cheating.

But even so, Professor Li still said something similar to 'guarantee'.Once his practice is known by other students, he will inevitably be questioned by everyone and his reputation will be ruined.

why?

He is so optimistic about Wang Yi?Or do you love horror movies too much?

Lu Jue frowned slightly, and looked at Professor Li with a surprised expression, really unable to understand his thoughts.

"Professor Li?"

Wang Yi was not as far ahead as Lu Jue thought, but he also knew it was wrong.He shook his head subconsciously, and said grumpily, "I'm sorry, Professor, I can't do this kind of thing."

Hearing this, Professor Li frowned, and was interrupted by Lu Jue when he wanted to say something with an unhappy face.

"It doesn't matter if you don't shoot a new story."

Looking into the eyes of the two, Lu Jue said slowly: "I haven't watched "Runaway", but I can guess what kind of short film it is from your conversation. Professor Li is worried about the review issue. If so... then How about directly adapting it, reducing the bloody violence in the short film, and expressing the plot in other ways?"

This suggestion is simple and rude, but it also gives Wang Yi a new path.

Professor Li nodded in satisfaction at Lu Jue, and said, "Actually, I have thought about this method, but considering the difficulty of adaptation and the small audience of "Runaway", I am more inclined to reshoot."

Lu Jue instantly understood what Professor Li meant.

Domestic horror and horror movies are a mess, and there are too few fans who are willing to watch them. This is an unavoidable disadvantage for Wang Yi.

Moreover, without the original bloody smell and on-screen violence, the charm of "Runaway" is very likely to be greatly reduced, which may cause horror fans to dislike it, and ordinary audiences may not like it...

At that time, it will be a loss if the bamboo basket fetches water in vain.

In this way, it is indeed the best choice to make a new work.

"Professor Li, thank you for your kindness."

Suddenly, Wang Yi raised his head, revealing his eyes hidden under his bangs all year round, looked directly at Professor Li and said word by word: "I have thought about it, and the current "Runaway" is the best I can come up with now." Works. Whether it is new works or adaptations, I don't think they can be better than the current "Runaway."

"...Do you mean to take it to the competition?"

"Correct."

"...If "Runaway" can't pass the review, we will let No.3 replace it, so you are willing?"

""Runaway" is my pride, so no matter how far it can go and what kind of results it will achieve in the end, I am willing to accept it. I'm sorry, Professor Li, please forgive my waywardness."

At this moment, Wang Yi's face was full of apologies to Professor Li, on the contrary his eyes were so bright.This light called 'Persistence' makes it impossible to say anything against it.

Seeing Wang Yi like this, Professor Li was speechless and lost his temper.

"……up to you."

Professor Li turned his face away in displeasure, and began to wave his hands away, "You don't want to listen to me after the matter is over. Hurry up, stay away and don't appear in front of me. I will get angry when I see you."

"... Oh." Wang Yi replied dully, then left the office pitifully with embarrassment on his face.

It wasn't until the sound of closing the door that Professor Li stared at the door fiercely, and said angrily, "Elm head! What an elm head! I'm so pissed off!"

Lu Jue: "..."

It's alright, the old man is still so arrogant.

Lu Jue stood obediently by the side, silently facing the wooden man.

After a while, Professor Li regained his composure, like a Sichuan opera changing face, and instantly raised a kind and gratifying smile and said, "Student Lu Jue, your short film "His Servant" is very good. I think it is eligible for the quarter-finals."

Lu Jue blinked and obediently responded.

Seeing that he was so obedient, Professor Li's mood became visible to the naked eye, and the smile on his face became more and more real, and he kept saying compliments as if he didn't want money.

This attitude was completely opposite to Wang Yi's. Even Lu Jue couldn't help feeling flustered.

"...I heard that Huaxi selects from the graduates. The seniors have two years more experience than you, but it doesn't mean they are necessarily better than us. Movies rely on talent, two years How far ahead can they lead? People in Huaxi love to play this little trick. Not surprisingly, this matter will be reported in a short time, and it will definitely make your sophomores nervous."

"I'm telling you in advance, I also hope that you will not be influenced by the outside world. Your short film is very well completed, and it is not worse than directors who have already entered the industry. My personal suggestion is not to make too many changes, it depends on you. My own opinion."

Faced with Professor Li's expectant expression, Lu Jue pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Professor Li, don't worry, I also think this version is the best, and I won't change it."

Professor Li nodded in satisfaction, and chatted with Lu Jue for a while before letting him go.

It wasn't until he also left the office that Professor Li leaned back on the chair showing exhaustion.

Lu Jue, Wang Yi.

Before enrolling, Professor Li had watched Lu Jue's documentary "College Entrance Examination", and he had always had a good impression.As for Wang Yi...he was relatively silent. He was more interested in romance movies in his freshman year, but suddenly changed his style in his sophomore year. Professor Li's impression of him was ordinary.

Both of them have been too low-key since entering school, but Chen Yongda and others are more active and prefer to communicate more with the teachers in the department.

Before actually seeing the short film assignment, Professor Li always thought that Chen Yongda and Guan Tong were the capable ones, and never thought that these two people got the places.

Sure enough, everything is imaginary before seeing the real work, and only the work is the real strength.

"One is smooth-tempered, and the other is stubborn and arrogant... Hehe, the students in this class are really interesting." Professor Li turned his eyes back to the computer, thinking about those short film assignments.

"I hope that your aura will always be there, so that you can go on the road of directing."

The author has something to say: Movies need a hundred flowers to bloom~

A Jue is definitely an all-around player, but I have to give other talented players a little bit of respect (?)

Wang Yi is a new character, I hope you don't hate him
