Chapter Forty-Seven: Giving Up?

It's another day of waiting time, and the day before I was rejected by a film company, and I was even more severely mocked.

"Young man, are you crazy?

……

Ning Hao was not surprised by this, and in order to endure the pain at night, he came to a deli to work part-time. From six p.m. to eleven p.m.

Due to the dense flow of people, there is always a lot of people here, and Ning Hao is not idle for a moment, but it is just used to numb his anxious mood.

There were also two staff members at the delicatessen, and among them was a lean boy, in his mid-twenties, with a large mole at the corner of his mouth.

He had a board head, looking cynical all day long, while cutting vegetables for customers, he looked at Ning Hao, and said, "Hey, I said man, you said that you wear a formal suit every day to sell vegetables here, is there something wrong with your head?"

This tall man's name is Fang Cun, he is a regular employee here, and he is okay, but his mouth is very poisonous, and he especially likes to find fault with people.

Ning Hao has been working here with him for a few days, and he has long been familiar with this guy, so he can be regarded as having some friendship. However, Ning Hao never told him about making a movie and coming here to find a distribution company.

Ning Hao glanced at the square inch, and took a fly swatter and swung it back and forth a few times in front of the cooked food. I have been silent, I have been really depressed lately, and I don't want to talk much.

"I said Ning Hao, why was he abandoned by his girlfriend?" Fang Cun said, his hand was not idle, and he chopped half of the sauce duck with a big knife, and said while cutting the sauce duck, "Young man, I want to open a little bit at a young age, don't hang myself from a tree again, girl, it's not there yet!"

"Smack!"

Ning Hao's fly swatter smashed down fiercely.

Fang Cun was about to scold the street, Ning Hao removed the slap from his big face, and said indifferently: "Oh, it turned out to be a mole." ”

Fang Cun chopped the sauce duck a few times: "MMP!"

After a while, there were fewer guests coming, and a few people sat down to rest. It just so happened that there was a small TV hanging on the wall of the store, on which a "Legend of the Leylines" was playing, which happened to be a scene of the hero and heroine kissing.

Fang Cun looked at it and became a little excited, and his poisonous tongue was launched again, and he said with great disdain: "Look at it, what kind of shots are these, it's too rubbish." I really don't understand what the director and cinematographer of this film are trying to do?"

While watching, he complained: "I can't believe it, this kind of movie can still be released, is it all mush in their brains?"

Ning Hao was on the side, smiling, Fang Cun seemed to have a very strange plot for the movie, especially when he saw some shots, he would become very irritable, as if he had some grudge against the cinematographer and director of these movies.

Usually Ning Hao ignored him, but today he was really a little depressed and depressed, so he interjected: "Then you can tell me, why is the camera picture here rotten?"

Fang Cun stared at the screen carefully, and then explained while watching: "Do you know what a camera is? Do you know what a scene is? If you don't understand it, then I'll explain it to you today." ”

Fang Cun moved the small bench to Ning Hao's side, and then pointed to the TV screen with one hand and said, "Just like the group of montage shots just now, the way of combining them is very rubbish." The hero and heroine run from two directions, two places. This kind of lens should obviously be shot with a medium shot, and then followed by a panoramic overhead shot. Later, when they meet, use close-ups and close-ups. After that, pull the panorama again. That's the case. This plot will be more perfect. ”

Fang Cun shrugged his shoulders with a kind of flirtation with the cow, and said with disdain: "But look at these idiot directors, what are they doing? You say, what do you think?"

Ning Hao was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Fang Cun to be so familiar with the camera. The insight is really to the point, and the shooting method he said will indeed achieve better results!

Ning Hao looked at Fang Cun and said, "Fang Cun, what you said is good. ”

Fang Cun proudly touched his mole and laughed: "That's." ”

It's just that before his smile dissipated, Ning Hao's tone changed, and he sharply proposed: "At first glance, you just haven't really been a director and photographer." It's a low-budget movie, and cost control is very important, and the way you just came up with it, especially the panorama and overhead shots, you need to use a helicopter to do it. Is it really worth it for a few seconds of over-the-top scenes?"

Ning Hao said with empathy: "Sometimes, directors and cinematographers are not stupid, but they really have no choice, and they are trapped by funding and have no choice but to do it. ”

"Hmph, you seem to know a lot, please. Fang Cun looked unconvinced, and looked at Ning Hao with disdain, "You also said it, it's just a few seconds of footage, how much can it cost, isn't it just a helicopter, which movie doesn't invest tens of millions at every turn, will it be worse?"

"It's just one of the shots, but a movie is at least an hour and a half, if you do both. Think for yourself what the cost will be. Ning Hao analyzed seriously, "It's like you ordered a bowl of wontons in S County, but you had to ask the imperial chef to make it for you." ”

Fang Cun wanted to refute something, but the little girl in charge of the cashier on the other side suddenly laughed: "Ning Hao, don't argue with Fang Cun, he is a photographer, of course, if he scores two hundred more points in the college entrance examination." ”

The little girl stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Photographer is his dream." ”

Hearing the little girl talk about her dreams, Fang Cun's whole spirit was dissipated all of a sudden, and she whispered a few words with a face full of loss and depression: "Don't mention any dreams to me." I don't have any dreams anymore since I left high school. ”

After speaking, Fang Cun got up from scratch, picked up the heavy kitchen knife, and began to chop vegetables.

Gave up?

Ning Hao finally understood why Fang Cun was so cynical when he watched the movie, and he suddenly remembered Yao Cheng that day, that kind of despair and struggle, on the verge of sinking and giving up.

Ning Hao thought of Huang Bo, Guo Tao, and Liu Hua that day, who were also conscientious, spending their passion and fighting spirit in small roles.

"What about me?"

Ning Hao sighed, these days, he is also on the verge of collapse, and he is repeatedly rejected every day.

Now he can better understand the mood of Yao Cheng and Huang Bo, the entertainment industry is an industry with a very low success rate, but once successful, the rate of return is extremely large.

Because of the huge temptation, countless people continue to blow again and again in pain, unable to see the way forward, and live bitterly and tiringly every day, confused, and anxious......

Maybe I should let go of my so-called dreams and let myself live a slow life. Abandon these etherealities and bow to reality?

It's like these mediocre shots that kill the movie and the dreams of Fang Cun.

Ning Hao woke up suddenly, full of excitement, no, it can't be like this!
