Chapter 107: Professor Wang's Ambition
Su Xiaofan thought that Professor Wang had something on his mind, but he didn't expect that as soon as he saw Su Xiaofan and them, Wang Rui smiled,
After letting them sit down, Wang Rui said: "The work I shot this time is good, I am quite surprised, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Professor Wang has won the award," Su Xiaofan couldn't help but be a little flattered when he heard Wang Rui praise them directly, "The time is too rushed, and I found a lot of problems after the film came out...... It should have been done better. ”
Wang Rui nodded and said with a smile: "This is also the purpose of me calling you over, such a good film should not be wasted, I mean, I want you to remake it." ”
"Remake?" Dong Jiatong suddenly wondered, "Why?"
"Because I think the stage of this film should not just be this kind of micro-film competition for college students. Wang Rui took a sip of water from the thermos cup,
"This film still has a lot of potential, and if it is fully developed, it will even have a chance to impact the international film festival......"
"Not seeking to win an award, being able to nominate or even be shortlisted will be of great help to your future development. ”
When several people present heard this, they were all a little overjoyed.
Wang Rui's meaning is already obvious, that is, let them remake this film, and then go to the international film festival,
And listening to Wang Rui's tone, it is definitely not a film festival with no authority, no matter how you say it, it has to be a B-class international film festival, right?
"Then what film festival does Professor Wang want us to target? There don't seem to be many international film festivals with short film competition units...... Dong Jiatong asked with some excitement.
"Is it the Busan International Film Festival? I remember that the Busan International Film Festival had a "Wide Angle Lens" competition section, and there was an award for the best short film in Asia......
Category B film festivals are characterized by their small scale, short duration, and highlighting specific themes.
For example, the original purpose of the Busan Film Festival was to promote the development of the Korean film industry and discover new talents and new works, and the participants were mainly new directors who directed feature films for the first time or for the second time.
Dong Jiatong's first thought was the Busan International Film Festival, because the characteristics of this film festival are just in line with their current situation.
Although it is a film festival featuring debut and second works, the gold content of the Busan Film Festival is not small at all.
After four editions of the festival, the Busan Film Festival has grown rapidly and become the most influential international film festival in Asia, attracting the attention and attention of filmmakers from all over the world, and is an important platform for Asian films to go global.
But Wang Rui smiled and shook his head: "You can also go to the Busan International Film Festival, but I think you can set your goals higher, such as winning the best short film in Cannes or something......"
Su Xiaofan: "......"
Isn't Professor Wang's ambition a little too big......
Wang Rui saw Su Xiaofan's speechless expression, and couldn't help but say a little seriously: "What, do you think I'm whimsical?"
Su Xiaofan didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to smile awkwardly.
"You have to have faith in yourself, it's always right to aim a little higher. Wang Rui said with some seriousness,
"Actually, after watching your work today, I am quite confident in this film, remake it, not to mention nominations or awards, it should be no problem to be shortlisted. ”
Su Xiaofan thought about it and felt that what Professor Wang said was not unreasonable.
When it comes to participating in the competition, he always subconsciously thinks about winning awards.
But for the Cannes International Film Festival, which is considered a heavyweight in the A-category international film festival, it is not easy to be shortlisted and nominated.
Many directors who have become famous do not necessarily have this honor, and if they have this achievement in their freshman year, the benefits to future development are naturally self-evident.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaofan began to seriously consider Professor Wang's proposal.
If you want to reshoot, of course, you have to shoot better than this one,
So the key now is to summarize the shortcomings this time.
Although Su Xiaofan had already discovered some deficiencies in this work before, Professor Wang, from the perspective of a professional observer, must have seen the problem more thoroughly than them.
So Su Xiaofan asked directly: "Then what does the teacher think, how should we reshoot?"
"I was also thinking about this just now," Wang Rui gently clasped his fingers on the table, "My personal feeling is that if your film is going to participate in the international film festival, there are two big problems now,"
"The first problem is not with yourselves, but with the mode of this competition, where the proposition is too strong and obvious in terms of theme, and in an international film festival, a short film with an obscure and controversial theme is much better, just like your suspenseful ending......"
"Speaking of the end, I want to say that the suspense is not enough! The reason is the same as what I said earlier, you have told the story too clearly for the sake of the topic...... If the amount of information given in the front is a little less, the twists and suspense in the back will be stronger. ”
Wang Rui said, and turned his head to look at Tang Muxuan.
"Tang Muxuan's performance this time is really good, but if the performance is too good, it is easy to distract the audience......"
"My suggestion is that the heroine's role has to be cut, and the heroine with a more villainous tendency should be changed, which is why I just specially explained that Su Xiaofan brought you over, I hope you can understand. ”
After listening to this, Tang Muxuan hurriedly said: "Thank you Professor Wang for your concern, don't worry, I can still tell the importance of the matter, as long as I can make the work more perfect, I can act or not, and I can't do anything about forcibly leaving the country to destroy the work......"
"Well, you just don't take it to heart," Wang Rui glanced at Su Xiaofan with a smile again, "Otherwise, with this kid's stubborn temper, he will definitely refuse to change this paragraph." ”
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly, and said in his heart that Professor Wang really knows himself.
If Professor Wang didn't mention it, he would definitely not think of giving up the previous team for the remake.
He wouldn't even think about this kind of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, let alone do it.
But now Professor Wang put it forward after analyzing the pros and cons in front of everyone, and Tang Muxuan also gladly accepted it.
Then he had to think about it......
Wang Rui obviously considered that this might cause contradictions, so he chose to do this black face by himself, which still moved Su Xiaofan.
"Okay, now I'll talk about the second question, which is also a problem that our Chinese films will encounter when participating in international film festivals, that is, if the film is internationalized, ......"
"In fact, there are many places in your film that are handled quite down-to-earth, such as when he was scolded by the principal in the piano training institution, which can enhance the audience's sense of substitution, yes, but in the international world, sometimes it is a minus, because others may not understand it......"
"Well, if your subject is to represent this social problem, that's an exception, but if not, you have to think about whether the training institutions are the same all over the world, or is it only in our country? You have to think more about similar details. ”
"It's right to be grounded, but if you want to have an international eye, what you need is to connect with the local atmosphere of human nature, not only the local atmosphere of Chinese people, human nature is common......
