Chapter 243: The Least Talented Director
"Director, why did you say that the chief helmsman would pick me to be the scene reporter in the first place?"
Regarding Chen Guo's question, You Azhi joked: "Maybe your surname is Chen!"
In fact, speaking of which, You Dazhi didn't know how Chen Jialuo would arrange for Chen Guo to take notes. Although Chen Guo has been on the set for some years, he has done a series of chores on the set, from field work to lighting team workers.
But after Chen Guo came to the crew of "The Birth of a Word", Chen Jialuo arranged for the other party to follow him to make scene notes, and even gave more careful guidance many times.
This can be regarded as cultivation!
In fact, for himself, Ah Hai and Brother Huo, the chief helmsman is very supportive, thinking of this, You Dazhi sighed with emotion: "It may be that the chief helmsman himself is not very old, so he likes to train our young people!"
Although he thought of Chen Jialuo too well with half speculation and half imagination, for Chen Guo, Chen Jialuo said that it was not natural, but he did not cultivate it with special care, it depended on his own creation.
At the age of ten, Chen Guo moved to Hong Kong with his parents. When he was a student, he worked as a summer worker in a theater as a projectionist. In the early 80s, he entered the film industry, and has been working from the field management and lighting team to the present.
If this is the case alone, there are not too many similar people in the Hong Kong film industry. But this guy with the same surname as Chen Jialuo, waited until 97 years, with 500,000 funds and 80,000 feet of film abandoned by others, for the first time as an independent producer to shoot the crime film "Made in Hong Kong", the film is co-starring Li Cansen, Yan Xuci, Li Dongquan, Tan Jiaquan, etc., Chen Guo won the Best Director at the 17th Hong Kong Film Awards, the Best Director at the 3rd Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Awards, the Best Director at the 4th Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards, and the Best Director Award at the 34th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards.
Some people say that he is "Wong Kar-wai's second", but in fact, Wong Kar-wai is not a niche, Chen Guo is the real niche director. Only made 8 small-budget films, which made him one of the best directors of Chinese films.
In fact, Chen Guo is the kind of real director, the director of the director. His status is similar to that of Jia Zhangke in the mainland, but his achievements and influence are far superior to Jia Zhangke.
happened to meet such a person, Chen Jialuo also thought it was very interesting, so he arranged to make a scene note on the set of "The Birth of a Word", as for whether he can mix it up, it depends on him.
"Director, do you think our "The Birth of a Word" can be shortlisted for the Academy Awards? I think this movie is more like a literary film, will it hit the street at the box office?"
You Dazhi said: "The film of the chief helmsman will definitely be shortlisted for the Academy Awards! As for the box office, I'm not worried at all! You look at the various scenes designed by Brother Xiaohei, the flying car, the explosion, and the script in the second half, it looks very uplifting. β
Chen Guo looked fascinated and said: "When can I go to the Academy Awards with you, it would be great, it would be best to come back with a little golden man." β
"Poof! You think beautifully, does the Academy Awards have an award for the venue? It seems that all award ceremonies don't have this award. β
Hearing You Dazhi's teasing, Ke Shouliang, who was not far away, suddenly laughed and said: "Ah Zhi, I don't want to take you so shocking! There is no award for the scene record, but you can take your time! In the past, many directors have worked as scene workers......
Generally speaking, the scene notes are signed in the film - in formal filmmaking, the scene notes are largely indispensable, but the scene notes are "nameless".
We know that there are famous directors, famous photographers, famous producers, and even famous art directors and famous film composers, but we have never heard of the term "famous scene notes". In various film festivals or award events, I have never heard of the award of "Best Scene".
It can be seen that the work of the field reporter has been largely neglected.
In fact, even if there is an award for "Best Scene Reporter", it is difficult to judge, because the work of the scene reporter is difficult to see in the finished film. The work of the scene reporter can basically only be reflected in the process of filming.
If you want to rate the "best scene", there are only two ways.
First, the jury was divided into N groups, each team followed a crew, and watched the work of the scene on the spot. This is clearly not feasible, as the human and financial resources involved in doing so are staggering.
Second, the whole process of the work of the field record is filmed with a camera for the members of the jury to watch. This is also ridiculous, because the members of the jury will probably see vomiting blood when they watch so many videos!
Therefore, there is no way to award the "Best Record" award.
However, one thing is certain, the film industry will definitely have a corresponding evaluation system for the work of scene recording, and this evaluation system should be word-of-mouth.
A responsible, high-quality professional, and well-behaved scene can easily establish a reputation among other staff (especially the director).
Fieldkeeping is not a "routine" job, but comes and goes. The reputation of a field note can be judged from the number of jobs she (field notes are generally women).
A good scene reporter is always busy with one crew and quickly transferred to another crew, while a bad scene reporter often does not receive a job for a long time.
Chen Guo is obviously a very good scene, and because of this, You Dazhi, Ke Shouliang and others have a lot to do with him.
If you want to get ahead in this circle, in fact, you have to mix up your connections. Chen Guo has been working in the film industry for many years, and he has always been mixed at the bottom, and this time he was able to become a scene reporter, and he was able to directly talk to the directors and action directors, which also allowed his interpersonal relationships to expand instantly.
He is convinced that as long as he works hard, Honghua will start work in the future, and he will definitely be used. It has always been rumored that Chen Jialuo's Red Flower Club is a 'Boy Scout', but this just shows that the Red Flower Club cultivates people in an eclectic way, and does not pay too much attention to qualifications, otherwise how can You Dazhi's age and qualifications be the executive director!
Looking at Chen Guo's pensive look, You Dazhi waved his hand a few times beside him, and said with a smile: "Hey, okay, don't dream, it's time to start work." β
You Azhi didn't take a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Chen Guo and nodded, "I also believe that you can go to the Academy Awards sooner or later to bring back a few little golden figures." β
"Yes!"
Chen Guo grinned, nodded confidently and said, "You will too." β
"Let's start! Let's startβ"
"It's good to be young. β
Ke Shouliang was very emotional, after filming "The Birth of a Word", he will also be a director, and I hope that his crew can also be so vibrant.
