Tan Songtao is the most familiar with Zhou Heng, after all, they know a lot about each other's private affairs, if it is according to the close relationship between Jiang Xiaoxuan and Gu Xueshi, it is not an exaggeration if they call each other "brother-in-law".

And because the project only won the international award a few days ago, it made him feel a little "refreshed at a happy event".

He turned on his phone, found a link, and said, "This is the Weibo posted by our mentor, you can read it here." ”

They weren't sent out before, because they were still in the competition stage, and it wasn't good to show around too early, but now that they have two prizes in their pockets, they can give out one properly - although it doesn't do much to send them out.

The tutor has the ability to take the students' works around the competition, but there is not much attention, and Weibo only has a few hundred people's attention, and it can't attract anything when it is posted.

Many high-quality short films end up like this, and no one cares about them - unless they happen to be forwarded and commented on by a more influential big V, they may be slightly spread.

However, they are not greedy, and no one thought about the first project in the student stage, as soon as it came out, it was known to the whole world and the Chinese people were shocked or something, which was too.

Now that there are two awards, it has proven that something, such as strength and so on, is enough.

Zhou Heng received the video link, clicked on it and watched it, and there were only twelve minutes in total at the beginning and end of the film, which was equivalent to a long advertisement.

When he saw the quality of the picture at first glance, he was amazed, it was a moving scene of wide-angle aerial photography, and he blurted out: "Yes!

Jiang Xiaoxuan also squeezed over to watch together, and immediately smiled: "I took this shot!"

This was an aerial scene, and at that time, she would occasionally go to chat with the students, who did not have aerial photography equipment, and the funds were limited, so it was impossible to buy them, so she borrowed a few sets of lenses.

Originally, it was used for a fee, but Jiang Xiaoxuan didn't ask for it, it was the work she used to practice at that time, how could she think of selling it for money. Besides, she can't look down on 100 yuan.

I didn't expect it, but now I find that it is quite suitable for use here.

However, the video has been adjusted, and there are additional things in it, such as a large green forest, a pavilion with red columns, etc., to increase the sense of antiquity, and to coordinate the color of the picture.

Overall, it looks pretty good.

It stands to reason that red and green are super gaudy, but if the specific gravity is used well, it will look very atmospheric and extravagant.

Zhou Heng has a limited understanding of art in this area, and he appreciates it completely from the perspective of an ordinary audience, which he thinks is not bad anyway.

The opening scene is a close-up of the scenery of a large area, green mountains and green waters, smoky, with some romanticism in the realistic wind, it is obvious that the case is out, and the picture language only wants to highlight one word: beauty.

The ensuing soundtrack, ancient music, is entirely based on Chinese instruments, and the style is very heavy and intoxicating.

This production can.

Then the camera began to zoom in slowly, and a large avenue gradually appeared in the picture, as well as houses and inns.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng couldn't help laughing out loud - these students are so imaginative, the elements of shadow puppetry are actually used in this way.

Originally, shadow puppetry is a flat painting, whether it is people, landscapes, houses, props, all are plane forming, cowhide (some places use paper skin) carved out of the silhouette, and then the use of carving, color, and lighting to make the composition of the plane look beautiful and achieve the effect.

This has been the case with shadow puppetry for thousands of years.

But now, the silhouette, carving, color, and lighting of the cowhide cut have all been retained, but they are no longer two-dimensional, and the three-dimensional production looks more three-dimensional.

After the students learned the basics, they popularized the use of the floor plan and changed it into a three-dimensional drawing, which was quite beautiful.

Immediately afterwards, a person came from the distance on the road, which was a complete shadow puppet play, with a side face, colorful, and smart limbs, and walked slowly.

The figure hung his head and shoulders, and he didn't look good, leading an old horse, and came to this restaurant to eat. Soon, a Taoist priest-like man came over, shared a table with him, and started a conversation by the way.

The production is exquisite, the characters are smooth, Zhou Heng was integrated into the plot at once, and he had no time to take care of anything else.

The Taoist priest claimed to be surnamed Lu, the word Dongbin, and the fairy spirit was fluttering.

The two talked happily for a while, and the distressed young man gradually regarded Lu Dongbin as a confidant, and began to vomit bitterness, saying that he was full of reading, but how unsatisfactory his life was, he could not go to the officialdom to make a name for himself, and he could only cultivate the fields at home.

Then, Lu Dongbin gave him a pillow and let him sleep.

Sleep whatever you want, after all, you have everything in your dreams.

Next, in fact, Zhou Heng already knew that this was a story of "Huangliang and a dream". After this person falls into a dream, he will dream that he married a beautiful wife, passed the imperial examination and became a big official, and then was sent by the emperor to pacify the war on the frontier, and came back to be praised by the emperor, basically achieving the dream of making meritorious contributions and becoming a general.

Then, the official position was too high and began to be jealous and slandered, and began to have all kinds of bad luck, and there was no way to ask for help, so he missed the days of carefree farming.

Later, on whether Ji Tailai came, his son began to shine on the lintel, and he was once again ranked as the third duke, but unfortunately he was already dying, sick in bed, unable to do anything, and waiting for death in bed. Then the emperor came to visit him, and he was really dead.

Finally, there is a wake-up, all kinds of epiphanies.

Speaking of the story of "A Dream of Huangliang", it has long been familiar, but because the picture is beautifully made, the dubbing and soundtrack are very beautiful, and because of the improved production of shadow puppetry, Zhou Heng still watches it with relish.

Shadow puppetry was originally sung in opera, but the dialogue here is the reading of ordinary lines, and it can be easily understood even if there are no subtitles.

However, the beauty of the accompaniment in opera is not all abandoned, but such a soundtrack at the right time, which is really refreshing to listen to, and has a special artistic beauty.

It can be said that even people who usually don't pay attention to opera can't refuse the charm of opera in this work at all, which makes people sincerely feel impressed by the old art.

On the other hand, after Lu Sheng fell asleep, he guarded the border pass, and even won the battle, and the scene of the big battle was not mentioned, but a video that lasted more than a minute was carefully made.

The grandeur of the Great War and the complexity of the multiplayer war are all expressed in an artistic way. The sound, special effects, and lighting all work together perfectly.

No wonder they won!

Zhou Heng estimated that the award in China was won because of production.

In terms of story alone, it is basically made according to the idiom story, although it does not deduct points, but it is not brilliant - but now domestic movies have a common problem, that is, they often can't tell even simple stories.

On this point, Zhou Heng thinks that this is already very rare.

For foreign countries, this kind of Zen story may give them a refreshing feeling, and this pure oriental artistic beauty is indeed something they have never seen before.

Suffice it to say, there are too many pluses.

The ten-minute plot passed, and it was unsatisfying to watch, and then the subtitles appeared.

The first line of eye-catching big characters: Thank you to the respected Liu Cailiang and He Hongkun for their selfless guidance for this film, and I wish the old art not to wither and the art to remain immortal.

This is followed by a long introduction to the shadow puppet play, the two instructors, and then the names of the production team, which are basically all the names of that group of people.

Zhou Heng unexpectedly discovered that in the soundtrack column, there was even his own name!

Jiang Xiaoxuan also found her name in the photography column, and the two of them were as happy as fools.

Zhou Heng was very happy to see it, and asked Tan Songtao again: "Teacher Liu, have they seen this video?"

"Yes, I watched it last night, but you were busy, so I didn't call you. Tan Songtao replied with a smile.

After a teamwork project, as well as various competitions and awards, it is obvious that they have matured a lot.

Zhou Heng was busy filming his own delivery process last night, and he was really busy.

But it's not a loss, isn't it made up again, and it's not too late to see it now.

Zhou Heng looked at the number of likes and retweets on their mentor's Weibo, there were more than 200 likes, and only more than 70 forwards, and they were basically industry insiders, pitiful.

He said, "It's very well made, it should be promoted!"

But it is estimated that there is no drama, this kind of can't be released to get the box office, and it's useless to spend the cost to promote, and publicity is also very expensive.

Tan Songtao shook his head and said, "It's okay, we are very satisfied with the current results, really." ”

It's rare to get these awards for the first project, they have already become the school's biggest names, and as for being an instant hit or something, don't expect so much.

Maybe people who have not been popular can still stabilize their mentality, and winning two awards has already made them very happy.

Jiang Xiaoxuan asked them, "Then why do you still have to make up the video? Isn't it all done?"

"Our mentor asked us to make another video with spring water, and he said that we could add a flower at the end of the film. Tan Songtao replied.

Jiang Xiaoxuan nodded.

In short, it's their professional stuff.

Zhou Heng was also happy for them, and said, "Speaking of which, you have won the award, and I should also congratulate you." Then if you come to my house to taste the rabbit, you won't be charged, and you can eat it with peace of mind until you are good. ”

"That's not going to work, that's not going to work. If we don't charge, we don't eat. The students immediately objected and wanted to immediately turn around and leave.

After all, I have lived in the village for a month, and I don't want to take advantage of this when I have feelings.

Zhou Heng had no choice but to take a step back and say: "Then I'll help you promote it in my video, although I only have more than 800,000 fans now, it will rise in the future, and it should have a slight promotion effect." ”

The students immediately smiled, this is good, this is good, this kind of propaganda can't be begged for!
