Chapter 56: Beautiful You (12)
In her study career in Beiying, Xiao Lan filled up many of her shortcomings, and she came back to watch the micro-films she had made, analyzed and summarized, only to find that this micro-film was outstanding only because of the amateurism of other competitors' works.

A really good director rarely makes micro-films, and micro-films are relatively commercial, and they were first used in advertisements for product promotion.
As a result, the works of micro-films are uneven, so as long as a film is made seriously and certain skills are used, it can successfully become a "benchmark". And the real big director doesn't disdain this kind of name at all, so he won't enter the circle of micro-films.
Xiao Lan's micro-movies became popular, and her luck accounted for a large part.
When Xiao Lan went back to examine every detail of his creation, he found that this work seemed immature and naΓ―ve. If you have to describe it, it's like learning the inverse proportional function of high school math and looking back at the attitude after addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in elementary school.
This also aggravated Xiao Lan's inner caution, there were more people with her, and while facing the pressure of the strength of many excellent directors, she was also growing rapidly. After graduating from Beiying two years ago, the invitation from the film and television company was sent directly, although to some extent it still relied on the relationship of the mentor.
Xiao Lan also began to prepare for her first film in the sense, a masterpiece.
The producer has bought the sovereignty of the original, set up a crew, and let Xiao Lan serve as the main director.
The basic content of the story is set in the war, the family is separated while fleeing the war, the parents have died, and the three children are separated and live different lives.
Twenty years later, the three met in a coincidence, and the ending ended abruptly.
The overall story has a sense of age, and the sad tone runs through the whole movie, the three people are separated and meet again, and they have become different people after different lives.
The themes behind the story are also thought-provoking, and after reading the original novel, there is inevitably a sense of sadness and complexity.
The story of the producer is a good story, but if there is a director who is not very capable, the whole story will be ruined.
Many artistic creators can see traces of the future development of the original artist from their first works, and the first works reflect the original people's thoughts to a large extent, and these phenomena are called styles after a long period of development.
Judging from the type Xiao Lan chooses to make micro-films, her positioning can only be movies. It is mainly to tell the story in the context of the environment and the times, and this story is reasonably tragic, and it experiences the emotions hidden in people's hearts from the subtleties.
Xiao Lan's style just coincides with the story of the producer's choice, although Xiao Lan is just a newcomer, the producer is also willing to give her a chance to invite her to lead the film.
The chief director invited a newcomer, although it was not unknown, but it was not very beneficial to the publicity of the film's preliminary preparations. In order to build momentum for the film, the producer worked the selection of assistant directors and invited a director Hou Jiasong, who was in the limelight.
Hou Jiasong's main works are TV series, and after Kang saw this story, he recommended himself as an assistant director as a test for himself to enter the film industry. But he knew that the chief director who was pressing on his head was actually a college student who had just graduated, and he was secretly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't say it.
So, he was deliberately absent from the first episode of the entire crew, and his intentions were not good.
Xiao Lan and the main members of the crew gathered in the discussion room of the film and television company. Almost all of them arrived, but only one "deputy director" was missing.
Xiao Lan counted the number of people according to the list, and patiently sat in place and waited for more than ten minutes, confirming that the time had passed, but the other party had not yet come.
Xiao Lan did not have the contact information of the assistant director, and she was late for the first meeting, and her first impression of the assistant director was not very good. She decided to start by getting everyone to discuss the story, build a rough framework for the story with the writing team, and wait until the assistant director arrives to discuss things like camera cuts.
"We're almost here, so let's start looking at the information at hand. β
"Everyone must have seen the whole story in advance, and they have the bottom in their hearts. β
"Let's first discuss the basic context of the script, give it a framework, and then slowly add the details. β
Xiao Lan sent the information several times, and everyone took turns to transmit it, and read the information on their hands. Xiao Lan knew that she was in the position of director, and when she got the story in her hands at the beginning, she had already divided the main plot of the story, eliminated the excess parts, and screened them.
A movie lasts only two hours, and a story of more than 300,000 words must be condensed in two hours, and the timeline spans more than 20 years. It's easiest to pull out the main body of the whole story and make a selection one by one. The hardest part is choosing the plot, which involves a lot of aspects, and it's better to talk to a professional screenwriting team.
Of course, this was Xiao Lan's plan, she didn't expect Hou Jiasong to be late. After all, the previous micro-film received a lot of help from Zhou Peng, and Xiao Lan understood that the position of assistant director was also very important. They hadn't met, and Xiao Lan had a lot of respect for him.
Xiao Lan had already sent the news to his assistant three days before the meeting, and the purpose of being late now was a bit difficult to say.
Because of her age and gender and shallow qualifications, many people are full of doubts about Xiao Lan's whole person, and they look at people with colored glasses without logic.
Slapping the face with strength is the best way, and Xiao Lan is "very experienced" in this.
Hou Jiasong arrived slowly after being half an hour late, and the whole person did not look panicked at all, but had a "big name" attitude.
Xiao Lan didn't understand when she saw it, her guess was not wrong, and the deputy director was dissatisfied with her. But Xiao Lan has never offended a person who has never even met in person.
Xiao Lan looked at the assistant director with an expressionless face and didn't say a word after coming in, and sat directly in the empty seat next to her. Xiao Lan didn't mean to blame, but she needed to "remind" the deputy director's understanding of the "concept of time".
"You're late. She was stating the facts, but she also gave the other party a step, "Pay attention next time." β
Xiao Lan knew how much the other party was dissatisfied with her, and it was impossible to put it on the surface. As a director, you have to be responsible for the entire crew and do your part.
was accused in public, or a person with much worse qualifications than himself, reminded Hou Jiasong, who was narrow-minded, secretly made a note in his heart. He didn't expect that the director didn't wait for him, let alone ask someone to remind him of his "lateness".
He criticized Xiao Lan with his narrow heart. On the contrary, I forgot that no matter how powerful and many TV series he made, he was just an assistant director in this movie.
"Sorry I'm late, director. Hou Jia smiled and replied pretendedly. The last two words are bitten tightly, as if they want to eat these two words into their stomachs to be satisfied.
