Wu Zhiliu has seen Xu Wangqiu's power, and Xu Wangqiu's analysis of the film can be said to be an enlightenment for Wu Zhiliu, giving him a new understanding of movies and film language. The head teacher, Mr. Situ, also said that if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Xu Wangqiu for advice. Now hearing Xu Wangqiu say that there are 100 movies that can be watched, Wu Zhiliu's eyes lit up: "Wangqiu, you hurry up and tell me, how should we watch movies, how can we watch them well?"

Liu Lin and Gu Changwei also said impatiently: "Yes, how can I see it well?"

Although Zhang Yimou did not see Xu Wangqiu's power with his own eyes, he heard Liu Lin and them say that if Xu Wangqiu had not taught them to write a video analysis, it would have been difficult to be admitted to Nortel. His eyes were fixed on Xu Wangqiu, wondering how to watch the movie.

When many students around heard Xu Wangqiu's words, they also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how to watch the movie well.

"It's simple, you have to learn how to pull tabs. Xu Wangqiu saw Wu Zhiliu and their faces dazed, so he explained, "Pulling a film is to watch a movie one by one, interpret the movie in depth, record the content of each shot, scene scheduling, camera movement method, scene, picture, camera position, etc., and finally summarize it." Read the book a hundred times, and you will see its meaning. The same goes for watching movies. It's a particularly exciting, very good technique that you can write down and use in your own movies. ”

Wu Zhiliu and a few of them nodded as if they didn't understand, they knew what a pull piece was, but they were still at a loss about how to pull it.

Xu Wangqiu continued: "I heard from Master that Director Xie Jin was very surprised after watching "The Bicycle Thief", and said how could it be filmed like this. So, he bought a ticket to go to the magic capital world and sat there with a flatbread to watch. The scene was looped, and he went back from the first scene to the evening. He went to see it every day, for a week. He watched "Rome 11" in the same way, taking notes one scene after another. Director Xie Jin said that there is no trick, just look at other people's editing points, see how people shape the characters, and how to do the details. You have less contact with audio-visual language, and it is better to pull Hollywood's excellent commercial films. ”

Liu Lin said puzzledly: "Why do you want to pull Hollywood movies?"

Xu Wangqiu explained: "Most Hollywood movies are industrialized products, with clear narrative purposes, popular and rigorous techniques, but the expression does not have too much experimentation, for example, in recent years, Hollywood has emerged a rookie named Spielberg, and his movies are the kind of movies that are very neat and have almost no flaws in audio-visual language, which is very powerful." For newbies, Hollywood movies are good as an introductory tutorial for audiovisual languages. After being familiar with the audio-visual language and having a certain foundation, I will pull the films of art film masters. Only then can you appreciate the master's skill. ”

Xu Wangqiu believes that learning film is similar to learning calligraphy, commercial films are like regular script, and every stroke has rules, while art films are like cursive writing, which can be imaginative. Learning film should start with regular script just like learning to write calligraphy, but Chinese film education has been crooked since the late 70s, and everyone was asked to write cursive as soon as they came.

After Ning Hao finished filming the stone of "Crazy Stone", a teacher from Nortel said bitterly: "Ning Hao is a child laborer who has been exploited by the market prematurely! For these young directors, they should be allowed to make art films first instead of commercial films." ”

This misalignment of education ultimately led to the fact that Chinese films did not produce either art film masters or excellent commercial film directors. When art film directors want to make the transition to business, it is often very difficult to tell a story at all.

The person in charge of Disney China once said to the people of China Film, if you shoot your Kong Fansen story with us, it will definitely be better than yours. Many Chinese filmmakers talk about censorship when they talk about Chinese films, as if they can make awesome movies as long as censorship is relaxed. This is not to say that censorship is not problematic, it certainly has an impact on the creation of films, but many times censorship becomes an excuse for the director's incompetence. To be honest, there is no play for these domestic directors to release censorship.

There is no censorship problem with romance films and chick movies, but have there been any excellent romance films or chick movies made in China since the new century? Many people say that China can't make science fiction films, because the biggest problem facing China in making science fiction films is whether or not to have the party's leadership in the future time and space? But Guo Fan used "The Wandering Earth" to swell these people's faces.

In fact, the biggest problem with Chinese films is the director, which is that the director can't shoot at all.

In order to prevent Zhang Yimou and them from following the old path of the previous life, Xu Wangqiu felt that it was important to lay a good foundation for commercial films and let them practice their basic skills. Practicing the basic skills does not prevent them from making art films, just like practicing regular script does not affect writing cursive, but when they want to shoot commercially, they can successfully convert because they have a commercial film background, so as to avoid the problem of telling bad stories when filming business in the previous life.

Xia Gang felt that Xu Wangqiu's words were particularly reasonable, but it was difficult to implement the idea of letting everyone pull Hollywood films, and couldn't help but say: "But there are very few Hollywood films, and there are few Hollywood movies in internal reference films." ”

Xu Wangqiu muttered: "It's okay to watch the movies directed by Xie Jin, the audio-visual language of Xie Jin's movies is basically inherited from Hollywood, carefully analyze Xie Jin's movies, you will find that the narrative, scheduling, scenes, character relationships, and dramatic conflicts of the movie are all typical Hollywood movie styles in the 30s of the last century, but he ...... Hollywood"

At this moment, some people questioned Xu Wangqiu's words: "Classmate Xu Wangqiu, I think you have a problem with your thinking, you can't move Hollywood at every turn, and you still let your classmates learn from Hollywood, you are teaching everyone to make mistakes! What is Hollywood, that is the United States, that is a bourgeois thing!" Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the boy who spoke raised his voice and said: "College students have always been the object of bourgeois contention, so you students must stand firm!"

Xu Wangqiu and the others recognized that the boy who spoke was the manager of the art department, Xu Wangqiu and they were innocent and did not care about the words of the manager, but Zhang Yimou and several of their students who were not very good at background were a little nervous when they heard this, and they were worried that they would be told that there was something wrong with their thinking.

In this era, it is not surprising to hear this kind of remarks, Teresa Teng's songs are called ****, glamorous sound, and have bourgeois thoughts; Xu Wangqiu is a Hollywood, and it is not surprising that he is accused of having ideological problems.

The only strange thing is that this kind of elm-headed person can be admitted to Nortel.

Xu Wangqiu looked at Guan Bing with the eyes of an idiot, and said with a smile: "Do you know who invented the movie?"

Guan Bing said solemnly: "Classmate Xu Wangqiu, I am talking to you about the bourgeois problem, don't worry about it. ”

Xu Wangqiu said lightly: "In 1895, the French Lumière brothers developed a moving movie machine. On December 28, in a café in Paris, they officially released 12 documentary short films such as "The Train Arrives" and "Watering the Gardener" filmed by them. Historians believe that the Lumière brothers' filming and screening were out of the experimental phase, so this day was designated as the birth date of cinema, and the Lumière brothers became the fathers of cinema. He smiled and said: "Lumière is a capitalist, movies are invented by capitalists, you are so afraid of being corrupted by capitalism, so hurry up and drop out of school?"

Liu Lin applauded and laughed when they heard this: "Yes, yes, movies are invented by capitalists, you still don't want to learn it!", "Guan Bing, you should quit school quickly!", "Yes, yes, I support you to drop out of school!"

Guan Bing's face turned red: "Classmate Xu Wangqiu, you are messing around, the movie is a tool, it has no thoughts, but the content of the movie is different, the content of the movie can be poisoned!"

Xu Wangqiu said with a serious face: "When we learn Hollywood, we learn Hollywood skills, and we resolutely resist capitalist ideas." Scientists such as Qian Xuesen and Qian Sanqiang all studied in the West, learned advanced Western technology, and then returned to China to build the motherland. Is there anything wrong with us learning from them, trying to learn the advanced technology of capitalism, and using it to improve the level of our Chinese films?"

Guan Bing was speechless by Xu Wangqiu's words, and said hatefully: "If you make a mistake in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you!" After speaking, he took his enamel bowl and left angrily.

Liu Lin and the others saw that Guan Bing was gone, and said to Xu Wangqiu: "Wangqiu, don't pay attention to Guan Bing's elm head, continue the topic just now, how should we pull the film?", "Didn't you talk about Director Xie Jin just now, keep talking!", "Yes, yes, keep talking!" ......

Xu Wangqiu was not hypocritical, and began to talk in detail about how to pull the piece. There are many ways to pull the film, and the simplest way is nothing more than what you want to know, pull the narrative structure if you want to understand the narrative structure of the movie, pull the lens language if you want to understand the lens language, and pull the sound effect settings if you want to understand the sound effect settings.

However, Nortel in this era is not like later, there is a special pulling room, and it is impossible for students to pull back over and over again like later generations. Xu Wangqiu suggested that if you can watch the movie repeatedly, pull it from different angles, if you can't watch it repeatedly, then draw the shots that you think are particularly good and awesome, and you can use them in your own movies in the future.

Brother Chen Kai is so high, naturally they will not stay to listen to Xu Wangqiu teach everyone how to watch movies, and those who stay are basically the children of ordinary people, as well as the second generation of red people like Hu Mei and Li Shaohong who don't understand movies. After hearing what Xu Wangqiu said, they all had a feeling of enlightenment, it turns out that professionals should watch movies like this!

The students present admired Xu Wangqiu a lot, and some students looked at Xu Wangqiu's eyes and were even full of awe, no wonder Teacher Situ would say that if there is anything you don't understand, you can find Xu Wangqiu, it's really amazing!

Xu Wangqiu spoke for nearly an hour and announced that he had said everything he should have said. After returning to the dormitory to wash the dishes, Xu Wangqiu and Liu Lin went straight to the school library. When he arrived at the library, Xu Wangqiu was standing in front of the bookshelf looking for books, Zhang Yimou suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Wangqiu, can you recommend some books on movies to me, open a book list, and I will find all these books to read." ”

Hearing Zhang Yimou say this, Wu Zhiliu immediately said, "Give me a book list too." Liu Lin and the others also followed: "I want it too, open one for me." "Give me a copy too." "I want it too". ......

Xu Wangqiu didn't know what books were available in the school library about movies, so he decided to see what books were available first and then show them the book list. Otherwise, write a bunch of things that the school doesn't have, and Zhang Yimou and they won't have anywhere to find them. Xu Wangqiu's eyes slowly swept over the bookshelf and found that the books on film were mainly Soviet and European; mainly Chinese books, and a few English books.

At this moment, a book called "The Grammar of Film Language" caught Xu Wangqiu's attention, he took the book from the bookshelf and flipped through it, it was indeed "The Grammar of Film Language" by Daniel Alihon, but unfortunately it was in English, but it was still solemnly recommended: "This is a very practical book, you can take a good look at it!"
