Chapter 8 Integration of Choreography and Director
"I heard that the acting department of Yenching Film Academy is notoriously difficult to get into, even Haoqian doesn't dare to pack a ticket to get in......"
"The number of places in the acting department is fifty, and the director department with only fifteen places is more difficult to examine?"
"That's not necessarily, there must be more people who want to be actors than directors!"
Everyone nodded their heads in approval.
"That's right, the actor is in front of the stage, the director is behind the scenes, the actor is popular, it is fame and fortune, and how many directors are popular?"
"I can tell not a hundred but fifty actors, but the director's name...... I probably can't even name ten. ”
At this time, the student who was holding his mobile phone to check the information raised his mobile phone again and said: "I just checked, last year, the number of people who participated in the art examination of the acting department of the film academy was 9602, and the admission ratio was 192 to 1, while the number of applicants for the director department was 3495, and the admission ratio was as high as 233 to 1. ”
“……”
Well, in the face of this kind of data emperor, what else do you have to say?
At this time, the big beauty Zhu Jiapei stood up and said, "Okay! It's time to go to self-study! Look at you fighting red-faced, as if he has already been admitted." ”
"Doesn't he just want to skip class and go out to play? Compare this kind of scumbag who ignores school discipline with Hao Qian, you are too exalting him, right? With this leisure, you might as well do a few more questions and raise the grades of our class. ”
Seeing that the disciplinary committee members in the class had spoken, everyone immediately stopped the discussion and returned to their seats to deal with the large pile of test papers handed out during the day.
Guo Jiang couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "It's good that Brother Fan didn't hear it, otherwise he would have been mad again......"
What he didn't know was that instead of going crazy, his Fan Ge was lying on a luxurious hotel bed, sleeping profusely.
It wasn't until the alarm clock rang in the early hours of the morning that he reluctantly got up from the bed.
Today is the day of the re-examination of the directing department, and he has to go in to study systematically for two hours before the exam to increase the possibility of passing the second exam.
This time, Su Xiaofan was not in a hurry to enter the director's film screening room, even if he finished reading all the materials of "The Godfather" and this movie, he would have eaten a movie thoroughly, if he just happened to get the test, it would be great, but if he didn't get it......
If he had enough time, he would have eaten dozens of movies, and he might be able to understand it without a teacher, but now he only has two hours left to study!
After careful consideration, Su Xiaofan finally chose the screenwriter training room.
The most basic requirement for a director is to be able to tell a story with pictures.
Among them, the "picture" is largely completed by the cinematographer and art director, and the director is responsible for control;
"Speaking" is the director's core skill, that is, the language of the lens.
Su Xiaofan used to read books in the director's primary theory hall and watch classic movies in the film screening room, and the focus of learning was the lens language.
Finally, there is the "story".
In the field of movies and TV series, there are usually dedicated screenwriters, but there is a saying in the film and television industry: the combination of writing and directing.
In TV stations, because the accuracy of program production is lower than that of movies, the team structure will be more refined, and many directors are responsible for both screenwriting and on-site directors, so there is a profession of choreographer and director.
It can be seen that being able to write screenplays is a big plus for a director.
If the screenwriter and director of a movie are the same person, then his ability to control the entire work is obviously much stronger than that of a director who takes someone else's script to shoot.
As for acting, photography, music, art, etc., although they are also important, this is only the college entrance examination after all, and the film school will not be harsh, requiring candidates to be proficient in everything at this time, and it is not too late to study these after entering the university.
There are also two options for the screenwriting training room, one is the elementary theory hall and the other is the script writing room.
Su Xiaofan chose the Elementary Theory Museum without hesitation.
Like the director's primary theory library, this is also a small library, and Su Xiaofan quickly found a few relatively basic books to read......
Two hours later, he retreated from the system space again, then lay on the couch and closed his eyes and thought until after dawn before getting up to leave the hotel.
……
Three-quarters of the candidates were brushed off in one attempt, so there were a lot fewer people in the film school today than in the previous days.
In the second examination stage, the examinations of each department will be staggered as much as possible in order to make effective use of the school's faculty.
In fact, the annual professional examination is not only a test for candidates, but also a big test for the teachers of the film school.
The exam in the film school is not like other majors, the teacher slowly revises it after the candidates submit the papers, they need to invigilate, mark, interview, sort out materials, etc., and the workload is amazing.
Take the performance department as an example, nearly 10,000 candidates are going to perform, even if each candidate only occupies one minute of the teacher's time, it is 10,000 minutes for the teacher.
The interview in the directing department takes even more time, and the intensity is outrageously high because of the constant communication with the candidates.
Every year, candidates complain about the long cycle of the exam and the slow efficiency, and at the same time, they complain that they were stopped by the examiner before they finished the performance, and they don't even consider whether it is their own problem......
They won't know about the school's efforts to compress the exam time without compromising the candidate's revision culture.
I wouldn't even think about how much vitality those old professors would consume after each exam......
Although Su Xiaofan didn't think about it so much, when he saw that the examination room arrangement said that the director's second test was divided into two days, and he was divided into tomorrow mornings, he was not angry at all about running in vain.
"This teacher who ranks the exam is simply my nobleman!"
Su Xiaofan kept thanking this teacher in his heart, because it gave him two more hours of study time.
He then went home happily, and as soon as it was 12 o'clock that night, he went into the film screening room, and finished the remaining 55 minutes of "The Godfather," and the rest of the time to read all the analysis of the film.
Sometimes, it is more useful to eat one book than to read tens of thousands of books.
Su Xiaofan feels this way now.
On this classic old movie, he verified a lot of theoretical knowledge of lens language and story structure, and his grasp of the second test was a little greater.
……
The sky is like a flawless sapphire, cloudless.
The sunlight shone directly on Su Xiaofan's face, making him hum comfortably.
There is only one morning session left for the second test of the director department, and because it is scored on the spot, at three o'clock in the afternoon, you can see the second test list.
When Su Xiaofan came in from the west gate of the college, he also saw many parents and flower messengers accompanying the exam, who were stopped outside by a long cordon.
Some candidates who had already finished the exam yesterday also slipped in with their admission tickets, because the acting department was also conducting the second exam in the past two days, and the campus was full of handsome guys and beauties who were preparing for the exam, such a scene is usually rare.
In front of Su Xiaofan's right, there was a beautiful woman who was warming up, her upper body was wearing a thick down jacket, but she was only wearing a short skirt and over-the-knee dance socks below......
