At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Wangqiu, Xie Fei and Zeng Lianping walked into the school conference room. The three of them are a little nervous, if they can convince the school leaders to contact the Magic Studio, then "Hoe Rape" will be much more likely to get investment. If Xu Wangqiu went to the film studio by themselves, they might be rejected again.

After more than ten minutes, the school leaders and some teachers with old qualifications arrived. Xu Wangqiu and the three of them ran before and after running to greet the leaders and teachers, and arranged for them to sit down. Most of the teachers were more kind to Xu Wangqiu, and some had a cold attitude because of the symposium.

The school leaders and teachers were recruited by Zhang Ke. After Xu Wangqiu finished filming the movie clips, he found Zhang Ke and told them their idea of cooperating with the Magic Shadow Studio. Zhang Ke was very surprised after watching the short film, and immediately said that he would persuade the school leaders to let the school come forward to contact the Magic Shadow Factory. So, Zhang Ke organized a viewing party.

After the school leaders and teachers sat down, Xu Wangqiu stood at the front of the conference room and introduced the plot of "Hoe Rape" and his own ideas for the movie. Many people in the school have read the script and storyboard of "Hoe Rape", so Xu Wangqiu did not elaborate, but simply introduced it.

After the introduction, Xu Wangqiu said directly: "In order to let everyone better understand our play and our ideas." We captured two scenes from the movie, one of which is the scene where the hoe team prepares to hijack the prisoner car and rescue their comrades, and the other is the scene where the hoe team fights the enemy. We filmed these two scenes with the school's camera, but due to the lack of professional equipment, no lighting equipment, no costumes and weapons, the shooting was very rough, I hope everyone will not be surprised. The main thing is to let people look at our ideas, look at our audiovisual language, and see if our ideas are feasible. Let's play it for you. ”

Zeng Lianping immediately put the videotape into the VCR and pressed the play button.

Close-up of a pair of fast-running legs. The camera switches quickly, and the camera always follows the legs. Through the steps of these legs, everyone can clearly feel the anxiety of the owner of the legs. When the footsteps stopped, the camera pulled up and turned into an over-the-shoulder lens, and Liu Lin appeared in the camera's lens. I only heard the owner of the legs say: "Mr. Zhou, the gun is here, but the gun is smeared with butter and can't be used at all, what should I do now?"

The teachers present couldn't help but secretly exclaim, these shots were used very beautifully. Xu Wangqiu didn't pat the owner of his legs at all, nor did he slap his face, and through the rapid movement of his feet, the anxiety in the character's heart was perfectly displayed.

Liu Lin patted the shoulder of the owner of the leg: "Don't worry, let them quickly wipe off the butter and then send the gun over." At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and someone shouted: "Captain, Captain!" The camera switched, and Xie Xiaojing ran over quickly: "Captain, the prisoner car is here, what should I do now?" The camera cut to Liu Lin, only to see him immediately say: "Everyone is in place, get the intercepted car ready." At the same time, the sound of the car's engine came from far and near, and Liu Lin looked towards the road.

Close-up with car wheels turning rapidly. Large panorama, a car driving along the highway towards the camera at high speed. However, the leaders and teachers present laughed when they saw this scene, because it was not a prisoner bus, but Nortel's school bus. Originally, a few shots created a tense atmosphere, and everyone knew that the prisoner car was coming, and they were all waiting to watch the scene of the prisoner car hijacking. Unexpectedly, it was the school bus that drove over, and the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

Xu Wangqiu reluctantly explained: "We couldn't find another car, so we could only ask the school bus master to let the school bus replace the prisoner bus." ”

In the panoramic shot, the "prisoner car" drove along the road, Liu Lin and the others put down the work in their hands, took a few steps forward, and looked at the "prisoner car" that was coming. Close-up, Xia Gang in the "prisoner car" looks out the window. In the medium shot, Liu Lin looked at Xia Gang on the "prisoner car" with a solemn expression. At this moment, an incredible scene happened, Liu Lin stood in place and did not move, but the background behind him seemed to be alive and moved quickly.

In this era, mobile zoom is relatively rare abroad, and even more unheard of in China. None of the leaders and teachers present had ever seen a moving zoom, and they had never seen such a lens, and they were all stunned by the magical effect of moving zoom.

"Oh my God, how did this shot come about? The background seems to be alive!"

"This shot is incredible, the actors are not moving, but the background is moving, how did this come about?"

"This shot not only has a special visual effect, but also perfectly shows Zhou Hanting's inner emotions! This shot is really ingenious and amazing!"

Zheng Guoen, a teacher from the Department of Photography, was also surprised when he saw this lens, but as an expert in photography, he immediately thought of the principle after being shocked and asked, "Wangqiu, this lens should zoom when the camera is moved, so that the focus is always on the actor's face, right?"

Xu Wangqiu slapped the old man's ass: "Mr. Zheng is worthy of being an expert in photography, and this lens is indeed zooming when it moves." The photographer stands in the rail car, filming in front of the actors, and the crew pushes the rail car. In this process, the photographer controls the camera, the lens is always facing the actor, and the focal length is controlled, and this is the effect of shooting. The person in the shot doesn't seem to move, but the background does. This shot was very difficult to shoot, and we took it more than ten times before we could get a satisfactory result. ”

Adrian Cheng said excitedly: "Don't say shoot more than a dozen times, even if you shoot a hundred times, it's worth it, this shot is too good." Not only is the visual effect magical, but also the inner life of the characters and the fluctuations of the characters' hearts are perfectly displayed. The old man looked at Xu Wangqiu and said with a smile: "Wangqiu, do you have a photographer for this play? If not, I will give you the camera!"

Zeng Lianping was a student of Zheng Guoen, and when he heard that the teacher wanted to grab his position, he immediately became anxious: "Teacher Zheng, the photographer of this drama has long been decided, and it is me! I have been practicing for this drama for a long time! Moreover, this drama is all sports shots, and there are a lot of handheld photography, which your old body can't bear." ”

Zheng Guoen was originally joking, but when he saw Zeng Lianping's reaction, he couldn't help laughing: "You little Zeng! I'm afraid that I will rob the photographer position! I won't rob you, I won't rob you!"

The school leaders and teachers were amazed by the magical effect of the zoom movement, and the war scenes that followed really made the teachers in attendance look stupid. In the last life, in 1998, "Saving Private Ryan" was released in China and caused a sensation. made mainland audiences sigh that war movies could still be filmed like this. Now that Xu Wangqiu has advanced the battlefield photography style of "Saving Private Ryan" by 20 years, the impact caused by Mr. Chong Nortel is naturally difficult to describe in words.

Xu Wangqiu quietly observed the reactions of the teachers present, although the footage of "Hoe Rape" was rough, and there was not even a real gun, Liu Lin and they were holding toy guns, paper stacked guns, and even wooden sticks as guns, but the teachers present were still deeply attracted. Because the camera cuts so quickly and the footage is shaky, the teachers don't have time to think about anything else.

The teachers were engrossed in staring at the TV screen, lest they miss a shot. The strong sense of presence brought by handheld photography pulls the teachers into the story, making them feel as if they are really on the battlefield. Some of them were sweating on their foreheads.

After the seven-minute clip was played, the teachers present all stood up and quickly surrounded Xu Wangqiu in the middle. Their faces were full of excitement, and they were talking about their feelings and those incredible scenes in the movie.

Zhou Chuanji particularly admires the off-painting space, and Xu Wangqiu uses the off-canvas space many times in the "Hoe Rape" clip. Zhou Chuanji was very excited after watching it, and said with his hands dancing: "You used several off-picture spaces in the movie very well, showing the concept of infinite space. Many of our directors don't have this concept, the shot is dead, and your shot is alive!"

Zhang Nuanxin couldn't help but say: "Wangqiu, although I don't agree with your admiration for Hollywood, and I don't think it's correct for Chinese films to learn Hollywood, but judging from the few minutes of clips you made, it is really level! Especially in the last few minutes of war scenes, a lot of handheld photography is used, I didn't expect war films to be filmed like this." Speaking of this, Zhang Nuanxin laughed: "This technique is obviously the technique of the New Wave, you learn the techniques of the New Wave, but you resolutely oppose the New Wave, I'm afraid it's not good?"

Xu Wangqiu explained with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I am not against the New Wave, I think there should be directors engaged in artistic exploration, just like the New Wave, but there should be a minority of those who carry out exploration. The mainstream of the entire film industry must be relatively entertaining films, so that the film industry can develop healthily and steadily. ”

The school leaders also understand movies, and they were also shocked by the novel audio-visual language of "Hoe Rape". Lu Meng said with a smile: "A few days ago, this kid scolded the experts who participated in the symposium to the point of blood, and many experts said that they would not come to Nortel in the future." This really makes me angry, we Nortel have been humble for decades, how can such an arrogant kid suddenly appear! When I look at it today, I understand. No wonder this kid is so crazy, this is really capable!"

Except for Tang Ziqing, the leaders present were silent, and everyone else laughed: "This kid is a little crazy, but he really has the ability." "Not only has the ability, but also the ability is very big!", "As far as these few minutes of footage are concerned, I don't think there are more than five directors in China who are stronger than him!"

After laughing, Lu Meng looked at Xu Wangqiu and said with a solemn expression: "As a school leader, I feel sorry for you! You have written such a good script, and you have such good ideas and techniques, but we can't come up with money to support you!"

Xu Wangqiu was startled when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again: "It's not the school's fault, the main thing is that our country is too poor, and the ministry has not allocated funds to the school, which is also a matter of no choice." ”

Lu Meng was very relieved to hear Xu Wangqiu say this, turned his head to look at Zhou Ming, and then looked at several other leaders: "The school's gift film originally wanted to give the school's teachers and students the opportunity to practice, and you have all seen it at the level of "Hoe Rape". If such a good film is not made, I feel ashamed of the filmmaker. I think Xu Wangqiu should let them shoot the tribute film, what do you think?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "I agree, if this is not supported, it is a crime against Chinese films." ”

Several other leaders expressed their support, and even Tang Ziqing voted in favor. The story of "The Rape" is excellent, and the audiovisual language is very creative, and there is no reason to oppose it at all.
