Chapter 57: Teacher Lin
She didn't knock on the door, she seemed to be familiar with taking out a bunch of keys from the window next to the door, and then walked in directly with Li Zhe.
"It looks like you know Teacher Lin very well!"
"It's not that I know Mr. Lin very well, but the whole school knows him well. ”
"Oh?" Li Zhe was a little surprised, if it was an old artist or director who had been famous for a long time, everyone in the students knew it and it was reasonable. But according to Yu Minxia, this Lin Weiqiang seems to be just a depressed middle-aged man, how can he let the whole school know him.
"Mr. Lin is in charge of our school's film film, which not only contains the works of students, but also the works of many masters, and even foreign movies can be found here, but generally only those from the directing department can borrow them.
However, Mr. Lin came up with a way to watch it even if he was not a director department, and he wrote down the movies that would be shown every week on the big blackboard of the school, and anyone who wanted to watch them could come to him at any time to watch them. That's why everyone is so familiar with Mr. Lin. ”
Li Zhe listened to Lu Xiaomeng's words and had a preliminary impact on Lin Weiqiang, feeling that he was still an amiable person.
As soon as he entered the warehouse, it was dark, Li Zhe looked around, the curtains were actually closed in this room, and the sunlight could not penetrate at all.
Walking on the marble floor, I feel the coolness.
In front of me was a somewhat dilapidated desk, with mottled paint on the top, revealing the rotten wood inside, and it looked like the desk was some years old.
Strangely, though, he didn't see anyone.
"Isn't this Teacher Lin here?"
Li Zhe arrived a little strange, in broad daylight, he could understand that the film warehouse was sealed so tightly, but the door was not closed tightly when no one was taking care of it, it would be too dereliction of duty!
"At this time, Mr. Lin Weiqiang must be playing a movie in the room inside. ”
Lu Xiaomeng said and led him to a door in the house, standing outside the wooden door, Li Zhe could hear a faint sound of conversation from inside, and the sound of a film player turning.
She pushed the door in, and Li Zhe followed, but he was immediately startled by the battle inside.
I saw that the house of dozens of square meters was already overcrowded at this time, except for a passage left in the middle to prevent blocking the projection of the projector, the other places were full, and even the position of the station may not be found.
At this time, the entry of the two did not distract the group of students, who continued to stare intently at the screen.
Li Zhe glanced at it, and there was a man with a stubble on his face standing behind the projector at this time, looking at the center of the screen with interest.
Li Zhe thought about it, it's really a bit rude to pass this time, just wait for the movie to finish!
By the time he focused on the screen, he began to regret the decision he had just made.
This is actually "Titanic", if it had just been played, wouldn't I have to wait for a long time?
He went to the cinema several times to watch it, "Titanic" is a three-hour movie, but fortunately, at this time, it is already nearing the end, and Li Zhe does not need to wait long.
However, this 'epilogue' is only for "Titanic", and he waited for almost half an hour to wait for the end of the movie.
With a 'click', the projector was turned off by Mr. Lin, and the room was lit up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Titanic has been released, and tomorrow we will release "Once Upon a Time in America", which is about the history of gangsters in the confused generation in the United States, if you are interested, you can take a look. ”
Those students seemed to be still quiet in the dream created by the movie, and they were reluctant to leave one by one.
"Mr. Lin, come and tell us why Titanic is so powerful. ”
Lin Weiqiang was silent for a while, but he thought that none of the students present were students from the directing department, and he might not be able to analyze these things clearly, so he thought about analyzing them.
Hearing this classmate's speech, Li Zhe did not contact Lin Weiqiang for the time being, and he also wanted to hear Lin Weiqiang's thoughts.
Mr. Lin cleared his throat and analyzed: ""Titanic" is essentially a love story, a poor boy who met a rich girl on the ship, and then the two fell in love at first sight, and finally because of the shipwreck, the two of them were separated forever. In fact, just when it comes to it, this story is very ordinary, and even a little bloody. ”
But I have to admire Cameron, because he actually packaged this ordinary and even somewhat bloody love story into a blockbuster. ”
His words directly made the students present coax, and some even asked with a smile: "Teacher Lin, do you look down on Cameron?"
It's not that they think Lin Weiqiang is arrogant, the teachers at Yenching Film Academy don't like directors like Cameron very much, they like literary films with humanistic characteristics like "The Shawshank Redemption", and they are not very interested in this kind of large-scale commercial films.
Teacher Lin also smiled when he heard this: "This classmate, are you talking to me?" If I really said that I looked down on Cameron and was rumored out, wouldn't I, the warehouse watcher, be scolded miserably." ”
The students also laughed, and Lin Weiqiang pressed his hands and motioned for them to be quiet.
"What I want to say is that not only will I not look down on Cameron, but I will even admire him infinitely. ”
At this moment, everyone's interest came, and I saw Lin Weiqiang's expression become serious, and his voice became subdued.
"Director Cameron is brilliant, and can even be said to be a contemporary Chaplin. ”
Only then did these students know that Mr. Lin was telling the truth, and they thought he was joking. Who doesn't know that Mr. Lin's favorite thing is comedy, and the comedy master Chaplin is the director he admires the most.
And now that he actually compares Cameron to Chaplin, you can imagine how much he admires Cameron.
"I have always believed that the quality of a movie is determined by the box office, not by some professional film critic or our group of teachers. And the box office of "Titanic" completely proves that it is a very outstanding movie. ”
All of a sudden, the students below were in an uproar, because Lin Weiqiang's words were not only radical, but even a little deviant. The techniques, techniques, and deep meanings of art films are not visible to ordinary viewers.
Seeing the student's disapproving look, Lin Weiqiang's expression also dimmed, he was just because he didn't fit in with his understanding, otherwise with his professional strength, how could he stay here as a warehouse administrator.
"A movie is first and foremost for the audience to watch, not for self-appreciation. Only when the audience likes it can it be said to be a success. ”
"But people still like to watch ***!"
The corners of Lin Weiqiang's mouth twitched, damn it, someone actually smashed the field. However, he continued: "I can guarantee that *** will not be high at the box office if it is released in theaters." Spending dozens of dollars to buy tickets, you can buy several plates, this kind of thing with high assimilation and can find substitutes, is destined not to be a good movie. ”
Looking at their pensive or unconvinced looks, Lin Weiqiang clapped his hands and said: "This is just my personal opinion, you don't have to agree, okay, that's all for today's broadcast, you go back!"
One by one, they walked out of the room, and in a moment it was empty.
