Chapter Ninety-Nine: Gains and Losses (I)
After the film ended, the scene burst into thunderous applause.
The audience cast admiring glances at Haoqian, and even some people stood up.
Su Xiaofan also raised his hands and applauded Haoqian from the bottom of his heart.
Aside from Haoqian, the script structure of this short film of Huaju is actually very simple, and there is nothing particularly outstanding, and the lens language and photography are only at a normal level.
But because it was adapted from Haoqian's own story and starred by him himself, the performance was also in place, which completely changed his previous image and personality as a sunny and handsome boy on the screen.
This gives another layer of meaning to the whole short film, especially when they draw the topic is inspirational and growth......
If you want to select an award that is most closely related to the topic, because the works of Chinese opera have certain practical significance and role models, no one will be unconvinced to win this award.
"I have a hunch that this film will definitely blow up other teams in the online voting process, and the judges will also give a lot of sympathy points for the Best Actor award......"
Ye Yang, Dong Jiatong, Zheng Hao and others who were sitting next to Su Xiaofan also nodded in agreement when they heard Su Xiaofan's analysis.
"Wouldn't that be unfair to us?" Ye Yang said with some dissatisfaction, "You have also put in so much effort......
Su Xiaofan shook his head: "The best actor is not important to me, but for him, it is a very important encouragement, I think the main committee should give him this face...... As for the other awards, although I am confident, I should also pray that it will not affect too much......"
Su Xiaofan didn't expect that Hua Opera would make such a strange move, but after everyone was tricked, they were all convinced.
Just as everyone was talking, the next short film began to react, this time it was a work from the Huaguo Academy of Drama, and the topic they drew was Thriller and Cherish......
Well, a terrible combination.
What's more, thriller is a theme that is rarely touched by the Academy of Drama.
After watching the ten-minute short film, Su Xiaofan only saw those actors wearing masks, dangling under the weird lights, the picture was indeed a little scary, but the story was not clear at all.
Su Xiaofan can only guess from the picture that this is the script structure of a play within a play, and the protagonist has grown up by acting in a thriller play?
The idea is a little interesting, but it doesn't show very well,
emm~
Su Xiaofan thought about it again, and felt that it might be that his artistic accomplishment was not enough to appreciate this kind of pure art film......
It is estimated that in order to retain the audience, the organizer deliberately put Yan Ying's work at the end.
It's not good to put it in the finale position......
The bad part is that everyone has watched so many short films, and they are already a little aesthetically fatigued, and if they can't be better than the previous works, it's easy to lose points.
The good thing is also because of aesthetic fatigue, at this time, if there is a dazzling work, it can leave a stronger impression on the audience,
It's like when a person is dozing off and about to fall asleep, and suddenly being scared awake...... Well, it's exciting,
And there will be no other works to dilute in the future.

……
As is customary, before the film begins, a basic introduction to the work is given.
Seeing this introduction, the audience at the scene immediately cheered up and looked at the screen with anticipation.
Accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano, the picture slowly appears.
This is the internal structure of a group of pianos, with smooth wood and pulsating strings, which looks very textured under backlit shots.
"If a beautiful girl asks me to play a song, I'm usually glad to do it. ”
"Especially a girl like this......"
With two narrations, the scene switches to a girl.
She was leaning quietly against a mirror with her eyes closed, looking like she was listening to music intently.
"It's the first time I've seen this girl, but I know who she is......"
The scene cuts to a pair of feet in black socks, which occasionally hook their toes, followed by an unclothed back.
A man is wearing a pair of pants and playing the piano.
"No, I can't see her! I'm blind, how can I see her?!"
The picture switched to the man's face, which was Su Xiaofan.
His eyes were staring motionless ahead at the moment, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his expression was very nervous.
Behind him, there is also a figure in a black dance suit, but the frame only captures her neck.
"But today's performance is a last resort. ”
Bang!
The audience was startled by the sound of a hard slap on the table.
The scene cuts to a European-style brown bilateral door with a plaque that reads "The Principal Runs a Company".
The composition of this shot is very regular, and it is level with the wall, and there are only horizontal and vertical lines in the frame.
"What the did you just say to Xiao Zhong?!"
A questioning voice with obvious anger came from behind the door.
"Principal Han, Xiao Zhong really doesn't have this talent," this is Su Xiaofan's voice, "If you continue to practice like this, you will delay his ......."
"Before, your sister, before!" An angry roar interrupted Su Xiaofan, "I only care if his mother pays him money! We are a training institution, not a charity, I want to make money to support my family, and I want to raise you as a waste! What if you have talent? Lao Tzu told you to get out, you don't have to get out yet! Get out! Get out! Hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu!"
There was a moment of silence inside.
"How ......much will it cost this week?"
"There's a fart for class fees, it's good that I didn't settle accounts with you! What's the matter? Do you want me to ask you out in person?"
After being silent for a while, the footsteps sounded, and Su Xiaofan pushed open the door with a frustrated expression and walked out, then gently closed the door and walked out of the picture.
The title of the film began to appear on the screen - "Gains and Losses".
Although there is only one door in this scene just now, it gives the audience enough room for imagination, which is more tense than directly shooting the scene of the quarrel......
The melodious piano music sounded again, and the scene switched to a restaurant,
The camera descends from the extravagant crystal chandelier to a piano in the corner of the dining room, where a player in black sunglasses is playing George Gershwin's "Blue Symphony."
Three seconds later, a figure enters the painting from the left,
He stood there and watched the pianist play, then turned his head and looked at the dining room.
The focus of the picture shifts from the pianist to his face, a fat man with oily hair and fat ears, but well-dressed.
He seemed to notice something, and walked straight to a table.
The picture immediately followed the fat man's back, until he sat opposite Su Xiaofan,
The camera naturally ended up on Su Xiaofan's face, who was chewing food, looking at the pianist next to him with blank eyes, indifferent to the arrival of the fat man.
"He's a lot worse than you do. The fat man spoke.
"But it's always me who gets fired. Su Xiaofan still looked at the pianist.
The fat man sighed and asked, "What is the reason this time?"
Su Xiaofan did not answer.
After a moment, he slowly turned his head and stared blankly at the fat man.
Just when everyone thought he was going to speak, he shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head to bite the hot dog.
