Chapter 18: I Want to Train People

The four examiners didn't expect Su Xiaofan to react so much, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, Professor Tian suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that you have a big temper, but when I saw you today, I didn't disappoint." ”

Director Wang then nodded and said, "This time it is indeed an oversight of our work, and our department also held a meeting to discuss this issue the day before yesterday, and we will definitely try to avoid such incidents in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Director Wang actually stood up, bent down slightly, and said, "Here I apologize to you first, and I also hope that you have a large number of adults, so don't go to court to sue us......"

His last sentence was obviously a joke.

All the candidates were surprised and couldn't close their mouths, they didn't expect that the examiner, who looked so serious, would also have such a side.

Or rather, it will show such a side in front of the students......

Only then did Su Xiaofan understand that Professor Tian was testing him all this...... The key is that Su Xiaofan can't figure it out, what's the point of this kind of temptation?

Now that the heads of the directing department have publicly apologized, Su Xiaofan will naturally not be so small-bellied.

He hurriedly bowed back and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little rushed when I just spoke, and I ask for forgiveness from all teachers." ”

Director Wang nodded, and then said: "Then let's continue the exam, last time you said that you only want to take the most powerful director department in the country, I actually want to know what the reason is." ”

"Huh?"

Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, remembering that tidbits he watched more than a month ago......

"Because I want to femdom people. ”

He thought about it for a moment and replied truthfully.

Suddenly, the expressions of everyone present became a little strange......

Director Wang coughed and asked, "Trainer, who is the trainer?"

Su Xiaofan said with a straight face: "Train those little fresh meat who know how to sell cuteness and coquettishness all day long, and let people see their IQ, I want them to know what a real actor is." ”

The candidates were in an uproar, and the examiners above were also a little crying and laughing.

On the Internet, there are countless such scoldings, and there are really people who have joined the film and television industry because of this and want to change this situation.

But in the admissions exam, it was the first time they had met to say this reason......

Director Wang thought for a while and asked again: "Then why don't you take the acting department and use your acting skills to convince the audience?"

Su Xiaofan shook his head and said bluntly: "First of all, I don't know anything about acting now, and secondly, I think the root cause of this phenomenon is not the actors themselves, but the embodiment of the entire industry being too market-oriented." ”

"I'm not saying that marketization is bad, I just think that while pleasing the audience, creators should also consider the value of art, rather than blindly pursuing only profits, which is a vicious circle for the entire industry. ”

"Of course, if you grasp both hands, you will inevitably put forward higher requirements for the creative staff...... Obviously, our country lacks such creative talents, otherwise there would be no bad money driving out good money in the entertainment industry. ”

"This is also the fundamental reason why I want to be admitted to the directing department!"

"Not bad!" Professor Tian was the first to nod in admiration, "As a senior high school student, it is indeed not easy to see the problem so thoroughly. ”

"The teacher has won the prize, and this is just the student's personal opinion. Su Xiaofan replied without changing his face.

In fact, he was smiling in his heart.

What I said just now was actually in the junior director theory training room, and I felt it after watching a lot of film history.

At the beginning, I was hot-headed and wanted to take the directing department, I simply wanted to be a big director, and then I looked for an opportunity to pretend to be forced and lecture in front of Haoqian......

Seeing the satisfied smiles of several examiners at him, he admired himself a little.

With this acting skill, there should be no problem in judging the best actor in the Chongxian Cup......

"Since you want to be a director who is both commercial and artistic, can you give an example?" asked Associate Professor Jiang Wei.

"Christopher Nolan!"

Su Xiaofan did not hesitate to name one of his favorite directors.

"There are very few directors in Hollywood who can make no compromises or sacrifices in terms of filming techniques and artistic integrity, and Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors who holds the control of his films. ”

"The reason why Nolan has such a high degree of autonomy is mainly because of his control over the budget of the film and the quality of the work. In Nolan, the dual temperament of an art master and a director craftsman is fused. ”

Su Xiaofan clearly remembers the shock when he watched "Inception" a few months ago, so in the past few days, he has watched Nolan's works from scratch in the systematic film projection room.

At present, I have only watched three parts: "Following", "Memory Fragments", and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".

Su Xiaofan avoided Nolan's new work "Inception" this year, and instead began to focus on the analysis of his self-written, self-directed, and self-photographed debut film "Following".

The 70-minute black-and-white film, which cost only £3,500 (about $6,000), took more than a year to make, and the cast and crew were all part-time...... They only have 15 minutes to shoot every Saturday, and they do it purely manually, with a single camera. ”

"Films made under such difficult circumstances are usually more experimental than commercial, but Nolan's "Following" completely follows the narrative logic of commercial films, the film is full of suspense and intrigue, and at the same time explores the psychology of human nature to spy on and follow others, fully demonstrating his talent for balancing commerciality and artistry. ”

"The film uses flashbacks as the basic film narrative language, and on the basis of flashbacks, time is completely broken and repasted ......"

Starting from the production cost of 3,500 pounds, Su Xiaofan analyzed in detail the script structure, camera flashback techniques, photography techniques, ideological themes and so on of this black-and-white suspense film.

The movies he watched in the system, as if stored in his mind, were completely at his fingertips.

Without pause, he spoke for more than twenty minutes in one breath.

The examiners above tried to find an opportunity to interrupt him at first, but they didn't find it.

And Su Xiaofan became more and more detailed, and gradually began to accurately describe every scene, every shot, and every frame.

The most terrifying thing is that I can even remember the time clearly......

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Not to mention these candidates, even if a few bigwigs on the stage shoot their own works, it is impossible to remember every shot so clearly......

"To sum up, I think Nolan's film can well support my point of view: it's not a big production and a big lineup that is necessarily good, but a good one that takes into account both artistry and commerciality!"

"Nowadays, many viewers, when choosing a movie or TV series, only look at the actors and the production cost...... And I hope that one day in the future, when the audience chooses, they will consider one more factor, that is, the director, screenwriter, cinematography and so on behind the scenes......"

After Su Xiaofan finished speaking, the scene was silent.

After a while, Director Wang was the first to slow down and said, "Last time, I suspected that you deliberately memorized a scene from "The Godfather", but today I heard you analyze the whole movie, and I realized ......."

Director Wang said, a little unable to find the adjective......

In front of other candidates, it is not appropriate to praise him, and if you are neutral, you will inevitably wronged him.

After thinking about it, he finally just said: "You dance so much, and you have delayed so much time...... Alright, next!"
