Chapter 174 of the main text volume exam

Next chapter

Entering May, Lin Zixuan still has one more thing to care about, that is, his sister's professional class exam. △↗，.

Last year, he was far away in the United States, and there was no way, Lin Xiaoling ran to the exam in a daze, barely passed the written test, and was brushed off in the interview.

This time, we can't be so unprepared, we must gather information and actively prepare for the exam.

Lin Zixuan inquired, and the situation was not optimistic.

In order to cultivate talents for the southwest minority areas, in addition to the Beijing examination area, two students will be admitted in Guizhou Province and Yunnan Province respectively.

In other words, only eight students will be admitted in the Beijing examination area.

Although Lin Zixuan doesn't know how many people apply for the directing department of the film academy this year, only eight people are admitted, which is not ordinary, and he even wants to persuade his sister to apply for the broadcasting academy.

Beijing Broadcasting Institute also has a major in drama, film and television, but it is not as famous as a film school.

Lin Xiaoling didn't flinch, she prepared for a year, just to prove her choice, she was not fooling around, but really wanted to engage in this industry.

Maybe it was a little angry at first, but now it's determined.

This year, Xiaoling's classmates were under a lot of pressure, her parents didn't support her, relatives and friends didn't understand, and neighbors talked about her, thinking that she was too willful and ignorant, and it would be good for girls to go to college, and they had to pick and choose.

She knew that even if she had her brother's support, her parents would not give her the next chance, so she must be admitted this time.

With this tragic mood, Lin Xiaoling walked into the Beijing Film Academy.

In fact, it doesn't matter if she can't pass the exam, there is not only one way to become a director, you can also sign up for a refresher course, which is a short-term training course set up by the Beijing Film Academy, and the semester is one year.

It is mainly aimed at those who have some experience in the film and television industry, but have not systematically learned professional knowledge.

This kind of refresher course has a large number of students, the management is relaxed, and you can enter and study if you find a relationship, of course, there is no system of undergraduate majors, and it is not good to say.

She can also start from the bottom of the crew like Feng Xiaogang, and gradually become a director through practice.

There are many big directors in this world who have not received professional learning, and they have become directors based on their personal interests and hobbies, otherwise where did the first director to make a film come from, he has not figured it out by himself.

However, for Xiaoling, the most important thing is to pass the guò exam at the moment.

The written test questions of the directing department are relatively simple, that is, film and social knowledge, which are mainly used to brush off those laymen, as long as you prepare carefully and are familiar with the history of European film and Chinese film, there is basically no problem.

In China, film schools focus on the teaching of art films, believing that art films are the real films.

Therefore, in terms of film analysis, you can only get high scores by watching more foreign and domestic art films.

At the end of the written test, Lin Xiaoling was quite confident, this time it was better than the last test, and sure enough, she received an interview notice.

The exam at the film school lasts for about a week, and the three days after the written test are the interview, also known as the re-exam, and sometimes there is a third round of exams, which is very strict.

There are three chief examiners in the directing department of the Film Academy, namely Zheng Dongtian, Jiang Shixiong and Yang Lin.

These three are also professors of the directing department, Jiang Shixiong is responsible for the first and second grades, and Zheng Dongtian and Yang Lin are responsible for the third and fourth grades.

They are not well-known among the general audience, but they are highly respected in the film industry.

The interview is mainly to examine the candidate's comprehensive ability, including the understanding of the film, the opinion of the domestic film, or the work you have filmed, in short, you have to make the examiner have a sense of brightness and think that you are worth cultivating.

At the beginning, Zhang Yimou was admitted to the Photography Department of the Film Academy with the photos he took, and then he became a great director today.

Last year, Lin Xiaoling didn't understand anything and couldn't explain anything new, so she could only repeat the arguments in the book according to the script, and naturally there was no way to satisfy the examiner.

This time, she stood here again, although she still didn't have too clever opinions, but she finally didn't follow the crowd, but had some thoughts and thoughts of her own.

Especially after the crew interned and filmed "The Wind in the Capital", she wanted to shoot the reality of life through the lens.

Lin Xiaoling has not forgotten the killer feature that can add points to herself.

"Hello three examiners, this is a short film I shot myself, please advise." Lin Xiaoling said politely.

She took out a round box from her backpack with the finished film, and she handed it over.

The three of them nodded, this kind of thing is very common, and they also want to see the candidate's shooting technique from the film.

"Was it filmed?" Zheng Dongtian looked at it and asked.

This kind of box is used to store film, which is very ordinary, but it has the mark of the Beijing Film Studio, which he is very familiar with as a director.

To be able to make a short film with the film of the Beijing Film Studio, it should not be an ordinary person, there must be insiders at home or friends.

"It's expired film, it's a documentary." Lin Xiaoling replied.

Different from last year's sincere fear, after the experience of society, Xiaoling is now much calmer.

Shooting a documentary with expired film?

The three of them have been engaged in film work for a long time, and when they think about it, they understand that this is to enhance the texture of the film and make it look more age and history, which is not commonly used, but it is very effective.

Although it is a simple trick, if you haven't been in this line of work for a long time, it is really not easy to think of.

They looked at the eighteen-year-old girl in front of them, her face was still a little immature, she didn't think of it, it was not something she could think of, and it could be judged from this point that there must be insiders behind this girl.

This is understandable, and if there are resources, they must be utilized.

The three examiners asked Lin Xiaoling a few questions, such as how she thinks of European New Wave films, what kind of films you want to make, how to conceive a story in one sentence, and so on.

Lin Xiaoling's answer was decent, not brilliant enough, after all, she was only eighteen years old, and she lacked both knowledge and life experience.

The examiner understands that this is not the kind of student who has passion and genius, and can only be said to be qualified, but the number of places in this year's enrollment is limited, and it is not enough to pass, but to achieve excellence.

They also have to interview other candidates, so they asked Lin Xiaoling to go home and wait for news, and there will be a notification in a few days if they can get through.

At the end of the day, the examiner also takes a look at the candidate's photographs and selects the best students, some of whom may not be good at words, but can express their ideas through the guò work.

In the end, a director still has to rely on the film work to speak, not rely on the mouth to fool.

The Beijing Film Academy has a small screening room, in which the three of them watch the film one by one.

Most of the short films offered by the candidates were about thirty minutes long, which seemed to be fast, and then they saw Lin Xiaoling's film.

The film begins with a swinging camera of a girl with a red scarf running through the streets of the capital, followed by the camera, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding gray streets.

The opening of such a run immediately attracted their attention. (To be continued.) )
