Seeing Wei Zheng staring at himself with a broken faith, Jiang Hongfei asked Fan Bing, "Who is this?"

Fan Bing introduced Wei Zheng to Jiang Hongfei and said: "This is Wei Zheng, the director of the Oriental Film Channel and the director of the "Wisdom Wealth" program of the American Paravi International Media Company. ”

Jiang Hongfei stretched out his hand and shook Wei Zheng's hand, and said, "Hello." ", and then asked Fan Bing: "Brother Wei is the executive director that Sister Bing found for me?"

Fan Bing was speechless for a while, and she said in her heart: "I haven't said that it's good to let you make this movie, you haven't even reached the age of twenty, and you haven't studied directing for a critical day, let alone done it, who dares to let you direct a movie?"

But Fan Bing couldn't say this, Jiang Hongfei's resume was like a blank piece of paper, but she saw with her own eyes that Jiang Hongfei only took six or seven hours to create a storyboard script that convinced Li Hong and Wei Zheng, two professionals, the key is that Wei Zheng is also very sure that it is impossible to write such a script without ten years of directing skills or camera skills, which makes her a little unable to determine Jiang Hongfei's depth for a while.

Wei Zheng took a deep breath, and then said, "Mr. Jiang, I like your Heart Labyrinth very much. ”

Jiang Hongfei smiled: "I am honored. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Zheng said again: "I have a few questions, I wonder if I can ask you for advice?"

Wei Zheng's words made Fan Bing and Yang Zhen happy, they also wanted to test Jiang Hongfei's depth, but they didn't have this level, and now Wei Zheng wanted to test Jiang Hongfei instead of them, so they naturally couldn't ask for it.

Therefore, Fan Bing and Yang Zhen both chose not to speak, waiting to see how Jiang Hongfei responded to Wei Zheng's question, and then saw how many catties and taels Jiang Hongfei had?

Jiang Hongfei knew that this was a must-do.

In 2005, four million was definitely not a small amount, who would hand over such a large sum of money to someone who did not know the details?

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei said with a smile: "Don't dare to ask for advice, we can learn from each other." ”

Wei Zheng really didn't believe that the script of "Heart Labyrinth" was created by Jiang Hongfei, so when Jiang Hongfei agreed to communicate with him, he immediately said: "Mr. Jiang, Hillis Miller put forward the concept of "narrative lines" in the book "Interpreting Narrative", in Miller's view, narrative is like a line, closely connected before and after.

The traditional "linear narrative" refers to the fact that the whole event is composed of a structure of "beginning-development-climax-end", which constitutes a line, and the technique of interpolation and flashback also follows the line, but makes the story have more waves and turns, showing in the form of "curve".

The opposite is a "non-linear narrative".

Non-linear narrative is often composed of multiple lines, and the structure is usually divided into scattered, interlocking, polyphonic, often double or multi-line parallel, and the film uses non-linear narrative techniques to make the story of the film more powerful and bring a fuller story experience to the audience.

Your Labyrinth of the Heart can be said to be a perfect use of "non-linear storytelling", I wonder how you did it?"

Jiang Hongfei listened, asked Yang Zhen for a pencil, and then wrote down a character map in an orderly manner, and then pointed to the character map and said: "In "Heart Labyrinth", the method of scattering + interlocking is used to disperse the three story lines in parallel, and at the same time, each story line is intersecting and interlocking with each other, fully showing the confusion of the story, and at the same time, it is through repeated montage and metaphorical montage to pave the way, so as to stage this Rashomon-style human drama......"

Jiang Hongfei's character map is drawn concisely and clearly, not to mention Wei Zheng, a professional director, even people like Fan Bing and Yang Zhen who don't know much about filming can understand the complex relationship between them, coupled with Jiang Hongfei's explanation, this story is displayed in front of Wei Zheng, Fan Bing, and Yang Zhen.

“...... Ordinary paper tape has two sides, one front and one back, and both sides can be painted in different colors;

After twisting a paper strip by 180 degrees, and then bonding the two ends to make a paper tape loop, it was found that such a loop has a magical property - such a paper tape has only one side, and a small worm can crawl all over the curved surface without having to cross its edge.

Such a paper tape is called a Möbius tape, and such a ring is called a Möbius ring.

The Möbius ring symbolizes cycles, eternity, and infinity.

The narrative structure of "Heart Labyrinth" is like a Möbius ring, the three story lines were originally parallel to each other, but because of everyone's selfish interests, the parallelism was broken, making each story line interlocking, and each coincidental cycle affected the occurrence of the next story, causing things to develop along different trajectories:

In order to keep Xiao Zongyao, Huang Huan lied in the woods, which led to the blackmail of the white tiger who was short of money, and was killed by mistake;

Huang Huan and Xiao Zongyao eloped, causing the body to be mistaken for Huang Huan for the first time;

The white tiger stole Chen Zili's wallet, resulting in the discovery of Chen Zili's ID card in the corpse, and the corpse was mistaken for Chen Zili for the second time;

The village chief, who knew the truth about the corpse, called Chen Zili, causing Chen Zili to fall off a cliff and die when he answered the phone;

saw Huang Huan and Wang Baoshan walking to the woods in the commissary, causing Da Zhuang to accuse Wang Baoshan of killing Huang Huan, and Wang Baoshan confessed his cheating in order to get rid of the crime......"

As the saying goes, as soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

With Jiang Hongfei's analysis of the script of "Heart Labyrinth", Wei Zheng determined that the script of "Heart Labyrinth" must have been created by Jiang Hongfei, and Jiang Hongfei does have super screenwriting ability and super directing ability that he does not have at his age.

Wei Zheng put his posture very low and said: "The charm of this interlocking narrative method lies in the fact that although each character is independent, they don't know each other's secrets and truths, under the influence of each link, the audience's original perception of the truth is reversed and pushed down, and you can never guess what the truth is until the end, this narrative effect is very exciting, and it is also the charm of "Heart Labyrinth", Mr. Jiang is really a master, I am convinced, convinced." ”

Wei Zheng said again: "I guess, the ending of "Heart Labyrinth" must be unexpected by everyone, right?"

Jiang Hongfei smiled: "Let me keep a little, after all, I haven't received the money yet." ”

Wei Zheng listened, laughed, and then said very sincerely: "If Mr. Jiang directs this movie, I am willing to be Mr. Jiang's executive director, and the assistant director is fine, but if it doesn't work, I will remember it on the spot, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, I mainly want to learn something from Mr. Jiang." ”

When Jiang Hongfei heard this, he was happy, and he said in his heart: "Brother, is this considered a shock to the king's tyrant, and there will be a little brother to vote?"

However, Jiang Hongfei said: "I have already sold this book to Sister Bing, she is the producer......"

Jiang Hongfei's meaning is very clear, that is: "I haven't settled down as a director yet, how can I determine whether you are an executive director or an assistant director, this matter depends on Fan Bing's meaning." ”

In other words, Jiang Hongfei kicked the ball to Fan Bing......
