Chapter 447: CCTV Gala
After the movie ended, Zhang Ran did not speak, but lowered his head and pondered. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Ding Sheng cut relatively tightly, even if it is finely cut, at most a few minutes of time. That said, almost 20 minutes of content also need to be cut. What to keep and what to cut out must be weighed.
Ding Sheng didn't speak, and waited quietly on the side.
After a long time, Zhang Ran turned on the projector, called up the picture, pointed to the screen and said: "Bai Ling cut out the part of treating the child in the hospital, and only kept the nurse talking about her." Ye Mei went to the cosmetics store to buy cosmetics and cut it out, just give her a shot of makeup in the car......"
"Director, Ye Mei hasn't seen Yu Bo for ten years, and now she suddenly got news from him and was about to meet him, she was nervous and shy. She didn't have cosmetics on her, so she went to the cosmetics store to buy them, this detail is very vivid!" Ding Sheng knew that Zhang Ran was not a dictator who couldn't accept other people's suggestions, but a person who could listen to other people's opinions, and suggested, "It's really a pity that this scene was cut, and it doesn't matter if the movie has one or two more minutes?"
Zhang Ran shook his head very firmly: "It's a very vivid detail, but it has little impact on the overall direction of the story." Ye Mei is not the central character, she can only play with her!"
Ding Sheng glanced at Zhang Ran again, shook his head slightly, and said, "You are really too ruthless, you really dare to be ruthless with your own films." The other directors will definitely struggle for a long time!"
Zhang Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "God, this shot can't be cut, God, that shot can't be cut, I'm not so pretentious......!"
Zhang Ran finished talking about the scenes that needed to be edited, and then had a discussion with Ding Sheng, and by the time it was over, it was already half past two in the morning. Ding Sheng really admired Zhang Ran very much, and was even a little scared, genius is not terrible, what is terrible is that genius works harder than you!
Of course, Ding Sheng likes to work with Zhang Ran very much, once it comes to movies, Zhang Ran's heartfelt fanaticism will unconsciously diffuse, and that state will infect everyone and want to move forward with him.
Ding Sheng knew that Zhang Ran had a lot of things to do recently, and reminded: "Director, don't work too hard. You don't have to run this way every day, you can just come and watch it when I'm done editing!"
"I know I'm not going to come over in the future, so I'm going to ask you. Zhang Ran patted Ding Sheng's shoulder. He is very confident in Ding Sheng's ability, although Ding Sheng's storytelling ability is not as good as Ning Hao, and he is not the kind of talented genius director, but his ability is very solid, and he is to give him a good script and be able to make a solid movie. There are many such directors in Hollywood, but very few in China.
"Don't worry, I'll cut it out as soon as possible!" Ding Sheng said in a tone that was used as a military order.
When Zhang Ran returned home, it was already half past three in the morning, he didn't wash up, and fell asleep as soon as he fell into bed.
Zhang Ran remembered that Zhang Yimou once said in the documentary of the Olympic Games that they discussed the creative plan of the Olympic Games, and no good idea could pass for three days, so they criticized themselves and beat themselves, no matter how they looked at it, they didn't think it was good. The idea of the scroll is so good, and the idea of hitting and singing is so good, it was still rejected, repeated many times, and finally picked up again.
Although Zhang Ran's bidding team is not as good as the Olympic team, they are all capable people and elites from all walks of life. In less than two days, Zhang Ran's writing ideas and Shen Wei's ink painting ideas were all rejected, and he felt that he couldn't do it, and he should come up with something better.
However, one thing in the bidding plan is that the whole opening ceremony must show personality, because in the international community, the old concept and perception of China belongs to the image of China is not particularly individual. Everyone feels that the face of Chinese today is full of personality and romance, and this must run through all the details.
At the end of the meeting on the afternoon of the 19th, Zhang Ran saw Li Xinyue waving to him as soon as he arrived at the hotel lobby and hurriedly walked over.
"Xinyue, why are you here?" Zhang Ran looked at Li Xinyue with a deep face, frowned and asked, "It's not that a little rabbit cub in our class is in trouble again, right?"
Zhang Ran said hello, he has been busy with bidding recently, and he is not allowed to bother himself if he has no important things. Now that Li Xinyue is suddenly running, something must have happened!
Li Xinyue smiled and said, "I didn't cause trouble, they were all obedient, and they all passed the thesis defense, don't you know the level of the students in our class, how can the thesis defense not pass." Seeing that Zhang Ran nodded, she continued, "On the 16th, CCTV found our school and said that it was going to join hands with fresh graduates from nine higher art academies, including Nortel, China Opera, Beijing Dance, and China Transmission, to hold a graduation report art party, called "Graduation Song". Let's Nortel handed over the task to our class, let's take two programs. ”
"This is a good thing, someone will help us organize a party!" Zhang Ran laughed.
Nortel has few graduates, three or four hundred people in one session, and many of the senior students are filming outside, and they don't even have time to attend the graduation ceremony, and they rarely hold graduation parties like other universities. Now there is a CCTV leading class to hold a graduation party, which is definitely a good thing, and it will be a rare memory for the students.
Zhang Ran is naturally very supportive: "I'm very supportive, come here, are you in any trouble?"
Li Xinyue smiled awkwardly: "I didn't want to bother you, but we discussed for three days, but we didn't come up with a particularly good program, so we can only come to you! Chinese opera, Beijing Dance, and China Transmission will definitely come up with a particularly good program, if we can't come up with a good program, people will say that Nortel is not good, and that our 01 table is not good, you definitely don't want this, right?"
"Comrade Xinyue, you want my life! In the past few days, I have been discussing the bidding plan, and I feel that my brain is about to be squeezed dry!" Zhang Ran felt his temples skip a beat, but when he saw Li Xinyue looking at him helplessly, he immediately said, "Tell me what the requirements are?"
"There's nothing to ask for, just to get seven or eight minutes of the show. Li Xinyue bit her lip, feeling that she was really useless, "We're going to make a skit and have a chorus." The chorus is simple, but we think the sketch is best related to the movie, we made up a few, and we are not particularly satisfied, so we can only come to you!"
Zhang Ran felt that Li Xinyue's statement was reasonable, since he was a student of Nortel, he should show the characteristics of the film school, so that everyone could know that this matter was played by Nortel's students at a glance. He thought about it, and he didn't have an idea for a while, so he said: "It's already six o'clock, let's find a place to eat, and I'll have a treat today!"
Li Xinyue smiled brightly: "Okay!"
The place to eat is South Beauty, because I often eat at this restaurant, and as soon as I entered the hall, a sharp-eyed foreman hurriedly walked over to greet me.
After sitting down in the room and ordering the food, Zhang Ran began to ask the students in the class about the thesis defense.
Li Xinyue told Zhang Ran that the thesis defense went very smoothly. The students in the class were well prepared, and they were very well versed in Stella and Grotowski, and when answering questions from the head of the department and professors, they rarely got stuck, which was very relaxed.
After chatting for a while, Li Xinyue found that although Zhang Ran looked no different from usual, and the whole person was very energetic, but if she looked closely, she had a faint dark circle under her eyes, and she obviously didn't rest well. She couldn't help but say, "Zhang Ran, you've been very busy these days, you have dark circles under your eyes!"
Zhang Ran said lightly: "It's a little busy, just wait until this time is over, it's okay!"
Li Xinyue hesitated, but still reminded: "Pay attention to your body, don't work too hard." Hey, I'm really useless, and I can't come up with a good show. You're so busy, and you're still bothering you!"
Zhang Ran glared at Li Xinyue and said in a reproachful tone: "What are you talking about! Everyone has what they are good at, and it won't take me much time to write a sketch." By the way, is there a requirement for the length of the sketch?"
Li Xinyue said: "Each of the nine schools has about 12 minutes, a 7-minute program, and a 5-minute class teacher on stage to communicate with students. ”
Zhang Ran heard that there was a link between teachers and students, and he was a little painful, and with the virtue of CCTV, he would definitely sensationalize fiercely. But it can't be helped, this is the style of CCTV. He muttered: "There are two programs in 7 minutes, and the sketch is only about 3 minutes, and it is impossible to make a very complicated sketch, and it has to show our Nortel's style, so that people can see it, this is a program for Nortel students." That's what I thought, let's start with a funny little clip. Then the director shouted to stop, came over to tell the actors, and the crew came to touch up the makeup, and everyone looked, oh, it turned out to be a movie. Immediately after that, it was re-enacted and passed smoothly. I'll go back in the evening and write the script and send it to your mailbox!"
Li Xinyue laughed: "Writing a script is more difficult for me than moving a mountain, but it is easy for you!"
Zhang Ran shook his head, looking like I was a master: "Don't worship brother, brother is just a legend, alas, the world of masters is really lonely as snow!"
Li Xinyue chuckled: "Don't say it, I really admire you a little, I know a lot of geniuses, but you are the only one I have seen and is still alive!"
"Why do I feel that you are sarcastic about me?" Zhang Ran stared at Li Xinyue and said with a smile, "Seriously, what song are we going to sing in our class?"
Li Xinyue said: "I am going to let the students in the class wear the student clothes of the Republic of China and sing Li Shutong's "Farewell" collectively!"
"Oh my God!" Zhang Ran pressed his forehead, he talked about creativity every day these days, he couldn't stand this kind of old-fashioned show, and said bitterly, "Xinyue, this is too uncreative, isn't it? There are too many scenes like this, and they can't reflect the artistic level of our students at all!"
Li Xinyue was a little embarrassed, the show was indeed old-fashioned, but she felt that this song could reflect the feelings of parting, so she decided on this show. Since Zhang Ran felt that the show was not good, the task fell to Zhang Ran, so she looked at Zhang Ran and didn't speak.
Zhang Ran didn't speak, and thought carefully. He didn't want to make a miserable comeback at the graduation party, and the students came in laughing, so why did he let them leave crying? So, he wanted to get a program that had the characteristics of a movie and could show the youthful vitality of his class.
This requirement is a bit high, Zhang Ran didn't have an idea for a while, and couldn't help frowning. Suddenly, Zhang Ran's eyes lit up, he looked at Li Xinyue, and showed a smile.
Li Xinyue saw Zhang Ran smiling, and immediately asked, "Have an idea?"
Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Let's not sing, let's dance!"
Li Xinyue was a little surprised: "Northern Dance, Military Art, and Minzu University, everyone is a professional dancer, let's take the dance out a bit of a class, right? Besides, it will be recorded on the 30th, can the choreography be in time?"
Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Don't worry, our dance is different from ordinary dance, it is very cool, full of science fiction, but it is very simple." Have you ever watched "Electronic World War"? Let's just learn that, it's a bit of a costume, but the Opera and Dance Theater is now a partner with us, and it can be easily handled!"
Li Xinyue hadn't watched "The Battle for the Hegemony of the Electronic World", and didn't understand what Zhang Ran was talking about, so she asked, "What kind of dance is it?"
Zhang Ran smiled lightly and said, "Fluorescent Dance!" (To be continued.) )
