Chapter 143: I don't support the wall, so I'll serve you!(It's been 5 days in a row, and the monthly pass is up!)
Du Caige didn't stay quiet for long, and was soon called over by Liu Zifei.
Liu Zifei pointed out: "This, here, and here, Brother Du, these places, why do you say that you want to express them with ink paintings?"
"You can also paint without ink. It's just that I think ink painting is the most appropriate and most suitable for the core of this short film. Personally, I think this short film wants to express the disappearance of traditional culture. The artistic conception of ink painting is very much in line with this. ”
"Brother Du, in this paragraph, what do you think of the expression of male 1?"
Du Caige looked at it, "Oh, the vase is broken here?" First smiled, it felt like a trivial matter, a very relaxed smile. Then as Feng cried bitterly, his smile froze with thought in his eyes. ”
"What if the actor's acting skills are not in place?
Du Caige thought for a while, "Don't give a close-up, give the side, and then the picture is divided, half of it is Feng crying bitterly, the other half is a few moving companies standing silently, plus the soundtrack for the scene, and the rest, the audience will naturally make up for it." ”
Liu Zifei chuckled, "You're really bad!
Du Caige smiled: "To put it bluntly, movies are the magic of light and shadow. And magic, the essence of which is to fool the audience. You killed the main character in the movie, using color, light, angles, the expressions of the supporting characters, and the soundtrack to show that he died tragically. The audience burst into tears when they saw it, isn't this a fool?"
Liu Zifei nodded.
"What about the last shot?" When Feng picked up the bell and put the bell on, several porters looked back at the devastation under the big locust tree, and then an ink painting appeared, it was a courtyard courtyard with bells hanging under the eaves," Zhang Guodong interjected and asked, "What kind of expression should the male 1 have here?"
This little fresh meat with eyes above the top was also attracted by the script, and began to think about how to play this role well if he played it himself.
He knew very well that he couldn't play the role of Feng Maniac, and the most likely one to play was the one with the most dialogues, the head of the porter.
Du Caige recalled the version taken by Chen Wou-Ki and replied to him: "There should be a slight sense of surprise, as if I finally saw something that I can't usually find, that feeling." There are also some feelings. You can actually make very complicated expressions here, you don't know what you're thinking, you just can't be paralyzed. As long as you make an expression, the audience will make up for it by themselves. ”
Zhang Guodong laughed heartily, "Brother Du, you are really interesting, I misunderstood you a little before." Don't be angry, can you make friends?"
Du Caige said with a smile: "Those who play art have their own pride. Friends belong to friends, feelings belong to feelings, but when it comes to art and aesthetics, that must not be compromised!"
"That's a good point!" Zhang Guodong took these words as a guideline, and patted Du Caige's shoulder vigorously, making Du Caige stumble, and he was so excited that his face was shiny, "Brother Du, to be honest, I rarely convince others, let alone people who have just met." But I'm really convinced! Don't worry, if someone hacks you on the Internet in the future, I will definitely find someone to help you!"
Du Caige smiled, not caring at all.
Liu Zifei and her friends discussed the script for a while, and suddenly looked at Du Caige, with expectation in her eyes: "Brother Du, I don't have the ability to shoot this film yet, it's a waste to shoot it for me." Why don't you take us to make this short film? I'll give you a hand and be your assistant director. ”
Du Caige refused without thinking about it: "No, this is a book written for you, you can go and play with it." Whether it's a good shot or a bad shot, you can learn something from it, and that's enough. At most, I'll help you control the editing and soundtrack in post-production. ”
"Brother Du," Liu Zifei's voice was a little coquettish, "This script is a real masterpiece, if it is not filmed, it will be a pity." But I really don't have the confidence to shoot well, so you can go out in person, okay?"
Du Caige still shook his head.
When he first crossed over, he thought about remaking "Crazy Stone" to make a quick buck to pay off his debts.
But, that's just a remake. He will definitely shoot his own things, and he will not completely imitate Ning Hao.
As China's youngest director of the 1 billion club, he has such arrogance and self-confidence, believing that the version he made will not lose to Ning Hao's version.
But this "Deep Flowers" ...... It's only 10 minutes, which is too short to play any tricks.
Unless he changes the script, if he shoots according to the current script, he will definitely not be able to get out of the trap of Chen Wou-ki, and the things he shoots will definitely overlap with Chen Wou-ki's version to a high degree.
This is unbearable for Du Caige.
He is not a musician, so he can carry music with peace of mind, show the beauty of the earth to the people of the Blue Star, and affect the aesthetic taste of the people of the Blue Star.
He is not a writer, so he can carry literary works with peace of mind, present the top literary works of the earth to the Blue Star, and touch the literary and ideological circles of the Blue Star.
He felt that he was a porter of literature and music, and although humble, there was nothing wrong with it.
But he's a filmmaker.
So if he were to carry the earth in a movie, he would feel like he was plagiarizing.
He has seriously considered this problem, he can throw some good scripts of the earth to other directors to shoot, because the same script, different directors must shoot different things.
It was a collision of two aesthetic tastes, two ideologies, and it must have been interesting to watch the seeds of the earth bloom different flowers in the blue star.
But he is a person who has seen the original version of the earth, and if he shoots it completely with the script of the earth, it will be very painful.
Because, in order to avoid plagiarism, in order to get past the level in his heart, he must constantly try his best to avoid repeating the shots, angles, and classic moments shot by those well-known directors on the planet.
That's difficult.
It's like taking a high math exam, you obviously see that there is a solution at the same table, which is an answer that can get 100 points, but you have to avoid copying this answer, and you have to think of another solution by yourself, and also get 100 points. That's probably what it tastes like.
So, instead of using Earth's script to make a movie, he would rather write a new script himself.
For example, if he also filmed "Zhu Xian", if he personally wrote a version of the script, the final product would definitely be very different from "Zhu Xian" on the earth, then there would be no problem of plagiarism, at most it would only be a small tribute in individual shots.
This is what he thought of after trying to remake "Crazy Stone" without getting investment and the plan died.
Since then, he has set a rule for himself: if he copies the script from the earth, he must not shoot it himself, but can only throw it to other directors to shoot; if he has to remake some classic movies on the earth, he must rewrite the script himself, and he can only remake it, not plagiarize.
"I'm sorry, I really don't want to shoot this," Du Caige said with a pleasant face, "It's a good opportunity to exercise, why don't you be bold enough to try it?" I don't know how talented you are, but judging from the short film 'Time' you made, your foundation is very solid." Challenge yourself with "Deep in a Hundred Flowers" and show off your talent to the fullest. ”
Du Caige said very sensational, Liu Zifei's eyes sparkled when she heard it, and Zhang Guodong, Yu Hanyi and others also persuaded her: "Otherwise, you can shoot it yourself, every director wants to shoot such a good book." ”
"Yes, it's not easy to come across a good script, Sister Feifei, don't miss it. ”
But Liu Zifei thought about it, and still said firmly: "No, with my current level, at most, I will make this short film a second-rate or third-rate work, which is too unfair to this script." It deserves to be a better director, digging out its depth, its charm, and the beauty in every detail of its light and shadow, and showing it completely in front of the world. ”
She looked up at Du Caige: "Brother Du, I have already made my thoughts clear. Or, you take us to shoot and I will be the assistant director, and I can also learn a lot in the process, and at the same time, I will not fail the script. Either don't shoot it and let the script fall asleep, or wait until you want to shoot it. ”
Du Caige frowned, "Let's talk about it, I'll think about it again." ”
That's it for now. Du Caige chatted with them for a while, and then said goodbye first.
On the way home, Du Caige thought in his heart, among the four boys of Liu Zifei's friends today, two of them had a crush on her, and looking at the situation, she didn't find out about it herself, which was really interesting.
That Wang Lin, as well as that younger brother Zhang Guodong, are very obviously obsessed with her, and some body language and eyes have already exposed their hearts.
However, recalling some small details today, Du Caige found that Liu Zifei's good impression of him was also obvious, and he almost didn't say "I like you" clearly.
He sighed, really not knowing what to do to keep her from falling deeper and deeper.
A big reason why Zhang Guodong and Wang Lin showed hostility towards him was that Liu Zifei had too obvious a good impression of him.
However, these two children have an okay mentality, they don't see Liu Zifei as a forbidden person, and they are willing to make friends with themselves later, which is quite interesting.
After going home and continuing to carry for a while, Du Caige listened to the song again, watched half of the movie, and saw that the time was not early, so he prepared to go to bed.
At this time, the mobile phone vibrated a little, Du Caige thought it was a spam text message, but at first glance, it was sent by Liu Zifei.
It's brief.
"Brother Du, fulfill my little wish, I don't want more. ”
Du Caige looked at the screen and was speechless for a long time.
And Liu Zifei didn't continue to text messages.
Du Caige had a thought, finished washing, changed into loose pajamas and lay down in the quilt, tossing and turning for a long time.
Then he turned sideways and grabbed his mobile phone, and quickly typed a few words: "Find all the cast and crew, determine the filming location, and start work as soon as possible." ”
