Chapter 108: Classed
The three students did not all shoot according to "This Man is from Earth", but each chose a different theme, but they all had references.
One of the students is a manga adaptation of the TV series "Midnight Cafeteria", which tells the story of a restaurant that opens at night and faces all kinds of late-night men and women.
Another manga that was also imitated was Suzumoto's manga called "The Lonely Gourmet", which was later turned into a TV series, and its popularity in the country exploded, of course, it is still only a manga.
This student's script is just borrowing from the idea of a diner entering a restaurant in the comics, and then triggering some stories, compared to the previous two students who almost copied the original ideas, his idea is much more novel, he did not focus more on the male protagonist and his food like the original comics, but started with this male protagonist, extended the perspective, spread to the other diners in the restaurant, and connected some things that happened to each of them in the process of eating to form the whole story.
For example, in the first short story of this short film, the male protagonist enters the small restaurant, and there are already many diners in the restaurant at this time, and there are no empty seats, so he sits down opposite a man at a separate table, orders the food, and waits quietly for the food to be served.
Then, at this time, the phone of the man in the opposite seat rang, and the shot at this time was a first-person account of the male protagonist, and then the camera zoomed in and gave a half-length close-up of the man in the opposite seat.
He picked up the phone and became emotional after just one sentence, of course he couldn't hear what was said on the phone, but he could already understand it from his conversation.
"Raw...... When did it happen?"
"Is my daughter-in-law okay?"
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go ask the boss for leave tomorrow!"
In a few simple words, the overall situation of this man is clearly expressed, this is a man who came out to work, his wife is in his hometown, has already conceived his child, and finally gave birth to their child today, the man is very excited, anxious to go back to see his wife and child.
At this point, before it was over, the man hung up the phone and started to eat again, his meal was very simple, just an egg fried rice.
At first, he was grinning and eating, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face even when he chewed, but later, the smile began to taste, and gradually, the tears suddenly came down, and the laughter became choked, but he was still eating in a big gulp, and he didn't even notice that the tears fell into the meal.
At this point, this little story is really over, as the boss serves the male protagonist, the camera returns to the male protagonist again, but the pit has been buried.
Why did the man cry? Was he crying with joy? Or was it because of some other reason? You know, he came out to work, and with his clothes and food, it can be seen that he is definitely not rich, and if he takes leave to go back at this time, he will be able to see his wife and children, but then what about it? Will he come back to work? Will his boss still want him to leave when he says he goes? If the boss doesn't want him, can he still find a job? If he can't find a job, what will happen to his family?
This is left to the audience to think about, and the directing student obviously intends to do the same, so there is a blank space here.
Zhang Bufan has read all three works and three scripts, but his favorite is the second one.
He had already told Tian Zhuangzhuang about the problem with the first script, and as far as he was concerned, this script was the worst of the three.
As for the third script, the idea is very good, but unfortunately, the student's ideas are a little too much, and in a video of about 20 minutes, he insisted on stuffing five stories into it, and as a result, except for the first story of the man, the other four stories are incomplete, just like a broken arm and leg.
Moreover, in 20 minutes, repeating the same operation five times is particularly easy to make people feel tired, not to mention showing it to people after the film is completed, that is, when filming, Zhang Bufan is too lazy to watch the third story.
And the second script, although it completely copied "Late Night Canteen" in form, but he was smart enough not to stuff things into it, but simply told a story, the story is actually not complicated, it revolves around overtime, which is more in line with current events.
Because he just tells a story, he can fill it with more elements to flesh out the story, such as in addition to the main character, the restaurant owner and chef, and a small clerk who works overtime until after 12 o'clock every night, there are other characters, such as the street girl who only appears at night.
You read that right, it's a street girl, this kind of thing is almost impossible to appear in normal movies and TV series, but the students at school shoot it like this, it's not YH, it's art.
There are also security guards on night shift, young people who have just finished soaking, and so on.
They also joined in the dialogue between the junior staff and the boss, and discussed the topic from their own standpoint.
As a result, a topic that was originally quite simple was expanded.
Moreover, this student did not discuss this topic very seriously, let alone engage in any sensationalism, but added a lot of comedy elements to it, and many of the lines of those various people were popular phrases that he copied from the Internet, which made the whole story interesting.
..................
Three short works, two stories take place during the day and one story takes place at night, and the three students have already discussed it and made good use of the time, so it only took 7 days to shoot all of them.
In the intervening days, Tian Zhuangzhi didn't come, because there were still students filming in other places, and he had to go and see it.
The last day came, watched the students finish, and then patted Zhang Bufan on the shoulder, "Thank you for borrowing the land, Zhang'er, in order to celebrate their completion, or else, today's lunch ......"
"No way!" Zhang Bufan refused with righteous words, that is, depending on your age than me, otherwise I would have shown my middle finger to you!
"We pay for it, aren't you just a restaurant, just as we are guests. Tian Xiangzhuang said, he was really greedy for Zhang Bufan's cooking, and he said that he wanted to eat here, but he ate a meal at noon on the first day, and then he went to several other groups, of course, it was impossible to come over to eat again.
"I'm sorry, the restaurant hasn't opened yet, and I haven't prepared the ingredients, so if you want to eat, please pay attention to the notice outside the door. Zhang Bufan didn't give face at all.
This stinky old man, just borrow a place, and use him as a teaching assistant, I don't know how he told the students, anyway, in the next few days, those students will run to Zhang Bufan if they have any problems, if this is a crew, Zhang Bufan is equivalent to a combination of producer and producer and assistant director in the past few days, and he almost didn't tire him to death.
"Alright then, you should open the door earlier. Tian Xiangxiang smashed his mouth, finally gave up the idea of taking a group of students to eat collectively, left, and didn't forget to leave the next sentence before leaving, "Hey, the things of the past few days, digest them well, it's good for you." ”
So, was he still taught a lesson by this old man's change of law......
