Chapter 141: Liu Zifei's Efforts: Short Film - Time

After carrying "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" for a while, Du Caige saw that the time was not early, so he drove his bright red "Chiji" to the appointment.

When he arrived at the agreed hotel and walked into the reserved box, Du Caige saw that Liu Zifei was already sitting in it with several young men and women.

Liu Zifei did not tie a ponytail today, but wore long hair, light makeup, and was dressed in the style of a female white-collar worker, and her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be a little more cheerful and confident.

Several of her friends, four men and one woman, all look about the same age as her, all with expressions of "I am a pillar of society", "I am a cultural elite", "you scum who don't understand art, quickly retreat", talking and laughing, scolding Fang Xuan, obviously not suffering much from the society.

Looking at their dress, when they are still in the house, they should have good economic conditions at home.

"I'm sorry, I'm late. Du Caige smiled.

Liu Zifei stood up and said with a smile: "It's not late, we arrived early." Brother Du, let me introduce you to ......"

Then she introduced several of her friends to Du Caige.

When it was her turn to introduce Du Caige, her eyes lit up, "This is Du Ge I have mentioned to you many times, he has written many classic songs under the name 'Lin Ke' before, and he is also very expert in film shooting." ”

Although those young men and women looked arrogant, they were not so bad that they showed Du Caige, and they were quite polite one by one.

When Du Caige was seated, Liu Zifei, who was the east, ordered the food and drinks, and a young man with long curly hair named "Feng Hao" took out an ultra-thin laptop from the bag on the ground, "Brother Du, the gadgets we have been shooting these days, please give me some advice." ”

He turned on his computer at the dining table, slid his fingers over the trackpad, and soon opened a video file.

Du Caige glanced at it, and the duration was 12 and a half minutes.

Feng Hao pressed the play button and said, "Zifei has worked hard in the past two days, the script, props, and shooting are all led by her." It was as if she had suddenly opened the second pulse of Ren Du and integrated everything she had learned before. I said that she still learned a lot of real things in TV station, and now she is a high-level director. ”

There is obviously a compliment to this, Liu Zifei's face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "You don't say a few words, I usually praise me, I'm actually quite happy." But you praised me like this in front of Du Ge, I really feel ashamed. What is the class door axe? This is the class door axe. ”

......

The short opening is a rough animation, with only a few seconds of a monkey trying to salvage the moon in the water by a waterhole.

Although it is simple and rough, the monkey is cute and cute.

Except for Liu Zifei, the only girl pointed to her nose, stuck out her tongue and said, "I did it." ”

The girl's name is Yu Hanyi, she has long black hair, she is not very beautiful, the acne on her face is relatively dense, her eyes are also a little deformed due to high myopia, and she wears contact lenses.

But the figure is good, and he dares to dress up, which is very sexy.

And to be able to make such an animation in a few days, her skills are really good.

Then the title "Time" fades into the picture, and then it crumbles.

The short film officially begins.

Du Caige touched his chin and looked at it intently.

During the period, the waiter came to serve the food or something, but he didn't move a moment, and he watched very attentively.

He not only has to look at the plot, but also the shooting techniques, whether the camera distribution is reasonable, whether the selection of various shots is appropriate, and whether the lighting is good......

Since he promised to help Liu Zifei palm his eyes, and he also saw that Liu Zifei was indeed very sincere, he didn't want to hear him say a few beautiful words, so he naturally had to do his best.

Although it is unlikely that there will be any development between men and women with Liu Zifei, they are friends after all, and he cherishes this friendship with Liu Zifei very much, and hopes to continue.

Therefore, he has to show twelve points of seriousness, pick on Liu Zifei well, and give guiding advice after the selection.

After watching all the short films, to the short cast list at the back, Du Caige touched his chin and brewed language.

The plot is very simple, not complicated, and Liu Zifei is qualified in the narrative.

The short film uses 11 minutes to tell a story about the changes of time and the changeability of people's hearts.

A college couple who love each other deeply, but can't walk together due to practical factors.

So when they said goodbye to the campus, the two agreed that they would not fall in love in the next ten years, make money separately, work hard separately, and get married after ten years when they had enough material foundation.

Of course, this is not a fairy tale, but a reality story.

Simply described, the hero and heroine are ordinary people, they don't have such a strong ability to resist pressure, and in the face of the urging of parents and relatives and friends, and the loneliness of the soul when facing a person, neither of them can hold on for a long time.

So, in a phone call, although the two did not say it explicitly, they hinted that they would not abide by the agreement again.

10 years later, the two had their own families and met on a trip.

Eyes meet, and the mood is complicated.

They met secretly at night, both had the urge to throw themselves into each other's arms, but they still restrained themselves, smiled, and finally really said the breakup.

The heroine is played by Yu Hanyi, and the male protagonist is the most handsome boy, Zhang Guodong. He is also the youngest, and he is still a college student, and he is at the level of Shadow 06.

Including Liu Zifei, the rest of the people all played the role of passers-by in friendship.

In addition, the opening animation is Yu Hanyi, the photography and editing are all long-curly hair boy Feng Hao, and the lighting and props are another boy Zhu Yuxi, this gentleman is mediocre in appearance, very low-key, and he has only opened his mouth when he greeted Du Caige, and the rest of the time he is eating with his head bored.

The screenwriters are Liu Zifei and Wang Lin, this is a pale and thin boy. At the same time, he is also in charge of the soundtrack - it is not like an original, maybe it was imported from somewhere else, but it should be licensed, and the copyright awareness of Azure Star Dahua is very strong.

What did Du Caige think of this short film?

First of all, the plot is very ordinary. The characters are basically out, but they are not distinct.

Of course, after all, the length is very short, 10 minutes, and it is already very good to be able to tell such a story clearly.

After all, Liu Zifei is a rookie director, and at most she has filmed one or two films at school, and there is no other way to practice mobile phones.

As for the character image, it is not only the director's problem, the actor's skill is not enough, so it is difficult to solve.

Du Caige decided to say a few words.

Why not say more?

Because he has a lot of opinions, Liu Zifei's camera distribution is very bad, and there are big problems with the use of lenses, several close-ups are very embarrassing, and the use of light and color is also unreasonable.

If you say it all, it will make Liu Zifei lose her self-confidence directly.

What Liu Zifei needs now is encouragement.

As for the technology...... Learn slowly, practice slowly.

After Du Caige finished saying what he was brewing, Liu Zifei's face was as usual, and she seemed to fully accept Du Caige's evaluation. Her big intellectual eyes were calm and unwavering, yet deep and dark, making people think she was thinking about something.

Zhu Yuxi is a stuffy gourd, Feng Hao scratched his head, and seemed to be a little careless, but the faces of the others were wonderful.

"The plot is ordinary," the pale, thin Wang Lin's face was full of pride, "Why don't you write us a notebook?"

Du Caige smiled, didn't speak, just grabbed a chopstick dish and chewed it slowly.

Liu Zifei said to invite him to dinner, so he came to eat.

Liu Zifei asked him for advice, so he opened his mouth to point.

But he's not here to quarrel.

I don't want to share the victory with these little kids.

It's a shame to lose, and it's not fun to win.

"Let's eat first, don't wait until the food is cold, and then discuss it after eating. Liu Zifei said in a round.

Several people gave her back face, and they didn't immediately coax, eat and drink, but the atmosphere was a little dull.

Liu Zifei ordered a few bottles of wine before, but now everyone doesn't want to drink it.

Du Caige can also understand.

It is estimated that they originally wanted to have a celebration banquet.

But he said that the plot is ordinary and the characters are not distinct, which is equivalent to negating their efforts, they feel uncomfortable, and they don't want to celebrate.

The atmosphere is not high, and the meal is naturally sloppy.

After everyone finished eating quickly, Liu Zifei's big eyes looked at Du Caige seriously: "Brother Du, then what do you think if I want to change, where should I start?"

Du Caige smiled: "No need to change. ”

Liu Zifei asked puzzledly: "Why do you say you don't need to change it?"

Du Caige shook his head with a smile: "This is not a small project, it is almost overturned and redone." I don't think it's necessary. And I don't know what kind of selection criteria Zongheng Film and Television has, maybe your film has a chance to be shortlisted. ”

Liu Zifei was just about to say something, but the young man next to him, the actor Zhang Guodong, said: "Whether we can be shortlisted or not, at least we have worked hard." And you, Brother Du, with all due respect, you are just standing by and pointing fingers. ”

When he spoke, he had a faint smile on his face, very handsome, and very arrogant. The tone is calm, but the content is quite unkind.

Liu Zifei was a little displeased, and lowered her face and said, "Xiao Zhang, it's boring for you to say this." I asked Brother Du to come and slap me and let him tell the truth. If you don't like to listen to criticism, you can go back first, and we'll make an appointment next time. ”

Zhang Guodong doesn't seem to want to turn his face with Liu Zifei, Liu Zifei mentioned in his introduction before that he is also a student of the Magic Shadow, level 06 of the acting department, and has not yet graduated.

It is estimated that he doesn't want to have a stiff fight with these seniors, so he defended: "I'm also telling the truth." ”

Liu Zifei shook her head calmly and said, "Your words are very boring, like saying: You can do it." There's no point in saying that, you know? I'm just asking Dugo to point out my shortcomings, and I don't want to share with him. If he says something to my heart, I will listen carefully, and if I can't accept what he says, I will naturally have reservations. But listen or not, it's all in me. As for Dugo, he has already made an assessment, and I have nothing but gratitude to him. ”
