Chapter 135: Invitation

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Ran felt as if his throat was about to burst into flames, and his head hurt so much that it was about to crack. He opened his eyes in a daze, hammered his head, looked around, and saw that it was already dawn.

Zhang Ran looked around and found himself lying in his room, and he didn't remember who sent him back. His throat was so dry that he was about to smoke, and when he saw a glass of water on the bedside table, he reached out and took it and drank it dry.

With a glass of cold water in his stomach, Zhang Ran sobered up a lot. He rubbed his temples to relieve the pain in his head, and walked into the bathroom.

After taking a cold shower comfortably, Zhang Ran's spirit completely recovered. He looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, and immediately began to pack.

Now that the filming has ended and the crew has been disbanded, the next thing is the editing, which needs to be done back to school.

Editing Zhang Ran can do it himself, but he hasn't taught students for more than a month, and if he doesn't go back to class, the students won't know him, so he plans to find Teacher Zhou Xinxia to do the editing.

Compared to the original movie in the original time and space, the actors' performances may be slightly inferior, but the shots are much richer than the original. The original shots basically adopt a three-shot method, a shot that explains the space, plus a front and back shot. Zhang Ran's shots are much richer, and corresponding changes have been added, so in terms of lens language, it is definitely more than the original.

However, because there are many changes added to the shots, the requirements for editing are high. If you want to reach or even exceed the original height, you have to work on the editing.

Last time, Zhang Ran and Zhou Xinxia worked together quite happily in "Time Prisoner", her cutting style is like flowing water, magnificent, heavy and fast. This time, the style of "Bursting Drummer" is destined to be better played by Zhou Xinxia. The thrilling and shocking pictures taken by Zhang Ran can be vividly expressed in her hands.

"Zhang Ran, the internal rhythm of your film is very fast, and it is unique in China. In the editing room, Zhou Xinxia selected the material of the film and played it twice, and she felt a strong impact. Although she has worked with many well-known directors and seen countless shots, it is the first time she has encountered the picture that makes her feel so strong. What's more, at the moment, this is still just material without a soundtrack, I really don't know what kind of emotional impact it will bring to the audience when the movie is completed and released on the screen!

Zhang Ran smiled confidently: "This is a chicken blood film, if the rhythm is not fast, the audience will not feel happy." ”

Zhou Xinxia has been in the circle for more than ten years, has seen too many ups and downs, and reminded: "But the style of this movie is too Hollywood, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of criticism in the circle." ”

Zhang Ran nodded, what is sought after in the circle is the ** trendy set, in their opinion, Hollywood movies are vulgar and stereotyped, just like the French film critics criticized Luke Besson. Luke Besson is the most famous French director in the world, but the French film critics are quite unpopular with him, saying that he is too Hollywood, and his status in French film history is not even in the top 30.

The situation in China is similar, not to mention anything else, Nortel's director department is particularly in pursuit of the ** trend, and it is contemptuous of Hollywood. However, Zhang Ran didn't care about this: "They scold if they love to scold, my movies will not live for insiders, and a movie will lose the meaning of existence if it loses the audience!"

Zhou Xinxia smiled and shook her head, sure enough, she was a young man, she dared to say anything, she persuaded: "These words, it has nothing to do with me, don't say them outside, otherwise you will be annoyed!"

Zhang Ran knew that she had good intentions, nodded with a smile, did not say any more about this issue, and continued to discuss the matter of editing.

After detailed communication between the two parties, Zhou Xinxia stayed in the editing room and became nervous and busy.

Zhang Ran didn't have anything to do, so he came out of the editing room and walked into the watch guide building. When he came to classroom 213, he saw Huang Shengyi and Wang Luodan practicing on the stage, and several students in the audience were watching carefully, he pushed open the door and walked in: "Shengyi, are you observing the homework of life and homework?"

When the students on and off the stage saw Zhang Ran, they screamed "ah", and then hula and surrounded them: "Teacher Zhang, are you back?"

"Teacher Zhang, we miss you so much!"

"Teacher Zhang, you've lost weight!"

The greetings from the students made Zhang Ran's heart warm, and he really liked them.

Huang Shengyi looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Teacher Zhang, you are done filming and are coming back to teach us, right?"

Zhang Ran smiled: "Yes, as soon as I come back, you won't have an easy life, be prepared to endure hardships!"

When the students in the class heard that Zhang Ran was back in class, they cheered one by one. Wang Luodan said: "Teacher Zhang, compared with Teacher Li, we obviously like your class more!"

Zhang Ran laughed and said, "Dandan, if you say this, Teacher Li will be angry, and you will say that you are a white-eyed wolf." Okay, aren't you platoon to observe your homework, I'll take a look first!"

When the students in the class heard that Zhang Ran wanted to read their homework, they rushed to the stage one by one to perform, like children.

Wang Luodan and Huang Shengyi showed the results they observed in the barbershop. It tells the story of a barber and a customer who got into an argument over burning their hair. Huang Shengyi should have been to the barber shop to experience it, and every trick and style of the performance is very in place, and it looks very real.

The next homework of Yao Xingtong and Wang Siwei is "Photography", which is about a tourist attraction, and the story of a person taking a picture and a female tourist who had a conflict because of taking pictures was very good, and the students were amused to laugh.

Zhang Ran shook his head and called Yao Xingtong and Wang Siwei over: "Your observation and life practice emphasizes too much on ideas, talking about communication between people. It's all a sketch, design a contradiction, and then resolve the contradiction at the end of the day, and everyone is happy in the end. Some words, some actions are more conceptual and not real enough. The observation of life practice is not for you to make up sketches, it doesn't need structure, it doesn't need a story, it doesn't need a theme. What I want to see are real slices of life, living people. ”

Yao Xingtong and Wang Siwei both lowered their heads, they were originally very satisfied with their homework, but they didn't expect it to be this effect.

Zhang Ran looked at them like this, patted them on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The most important thing in observing life practice is to observe the characters, which is to lay the foundation for us to shape the characters in the future." When we observe, we should be good at discovering the shining points of the characters, and pay attention to the internal characteristics of the characters, such as the mental state of the characters, the inner feelings of the characters, and the psychological activities. Only when the internal and external characteristics of the characters are grasped, the characters are vivid!"

Zhang Ran was about to continue, but Wang Luodan suddenly pointed to the door and said, "Teacher Zhang, someone is looking for you!"

Zhang Ran looked up, only to see a large crack in the classroom door ajar, and a face sticking in was actually Yue Tao. Zhang Ran didn't know how he got here, but there must be something wrong with him here.

When Yue Tao saw Zhang Ran looking at him, he hurriedly beckoned and motioned for Zhang Ran to come over.

"You guys, keep practicing. Zhang Ran hurriedly said.

After speaking, he clapped his hands and strode towards the door: "Director Yue, what do you dare to come here, aren't you here to peek at the girls in our class?"

Yue Tao pushed open the door of the classroom, pointed at Zhang Ran and scolded: "You stinky boy, you talk nonsense all day long, I think you are simply underdrawn!"

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Ran saw Zhang Jingchu smiling behind Yue Tao, and said with a smile: "Jingchu, why are you with Yue Tao? This guy is not a good person, it is safe to stay three meters away from him!"

Zhang Jingchu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Today, I talked to Sister Shao Hong about the movie channel, and Director Yue said that I had something to do with you, so I will come over by the way to have a look!"

Yue Tao scolded with a smile: "You kid, open your mouth all day long to ruin my reputation." Okay, Jingchu and I have something to do with you, let's find a place to talk!"

When Zhang Ran saw him say this, he said it to the students in the class. The three of them came to the Four Seasons Hall of the main teaching building, asked for three cups of tea, and sat on the sofa to chat.

After chatting a few words, Yue Tao suddenly said: "Zhang Ran, the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival is about to open." ”

Zhang Ran didn't understand what Yue Tao was talking about, his movie had just been filmed and cut without being cut, so it had nothing to do with the Fantasy Film Festival. He looked at Yue Tao suspiciously, but did not speak.

Yue Tao saw Zhang Ran's expression and knew that he had forgotten: "Didn't I tell you during the Spring Festival that "Time Prisoner" was shortlisted for the Brussels Fantasy Film Festival! I originally thought that "Burst Drummer" would be filmed until May, so I didn't plan to let you go to the film festival, but since your film has been filmed, you must come with us." ”

Zhang Ran thought about it for a while, there was such a thing, but he was really not interested in this fantasy film festival, and said with a sip of tea: "We don't have time, you just go." Next, I'm going to be busy with the editing thing, and when I enter the teaching in the class in May, I will enter the stage of clip teaching, and the students will start to learn to shape the characters, which is very important and cannot miss class. ”

Yue Tao glared at him and said, "What kind of excuse is this? Do you think I don't know, how many lessons have you taught to the students in your class in the past two months?"

Zhang Ran shook his head and said: "That's different, March is animal simulation, April is observation and life practice, these mainly rely on the students to observe and practice by themselves, and the teacher only needs to check the homework they submit." I was there when they handed in their homework!"

Zhang Jingchu said with a smile: "It's the same with fragment teaching, students choose their own fragments of the script to perform, and the teacher only needs to check the homework at the end." ”

Yue Tao applauded and laughed: "You know why I brought Jingchu here, right? You can fool me, but you can't fool Jing Chu, now I see what reason you have to shirk!"

Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Jingchu and sighed deeply: "Jingchu, Jingchu, you have disappointed me so much! I always thought that only a thief like Yue Tao would betray the revolution, but I didn't expect you to look like a flower and become a traitor!"

"You stinky boy, you are so badly beaten, who is the thief?" Yue Tao let out a burst of laughter, then took out a piece of paper from his bag, slapped it on the table, and said, "You have to go this time, and if you don't go, you can't go!"

"Have you bought me all the tickets?" Zhang Ran shook his head with a wry smile, and couldn't shirk it anymore, "Yes, it seems that I can only run with you once, and it will be regarded as a free trip!"
