Next chapter

After eating, Lin Zixuan chatted with his sister, mainly to learn about Lin Xiaoling's life in the crew.

In fact, many people in the art center know the relationship between the two, and no one will deliberately embarrass Lin Xiaoling, but will give appropriate care, which is what reassures Lin Zixuan.

He is not the same type as the kind of parents who are ruthless in order to train their children to become talents.

He thinks that it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not, even if he lives an ordinary life, as long as he feels happy, after all, ordinary people still account for the majority in this world.

Lin Xiaoling is quite sensible, she didn't cause any trouble, plus she has a lively personality and gets along well with the crew.

"Brother, I heard that if there is a work I shoot that can add points to the examiner, I want to shoot something myself. Lin Xiaoling said.

"Have you learned how to be a director?" Lin Zixuan said in surprise.

"How is it possible, I am running errands in the crew, so I have time to learn from the director. Lin Xiaoling said depressedly.

Xiaoling has been in the crew for less than two months, and she is still a drama clerk doing chores, and she is still far away from the director.

Lin Zixuan thought about it, Feng Xiao just started working as an artist, then as a screenwriter, then as an assistant director, and finally directed his first TV series, a process that took him seven years.

"Then what do you want to shoot?" Lin Zixuan was puzzled.

"I wanted to make a short film of ten minutes, a short story or just our daily life. Lin Xiaoling explained, "In this way, the examiner will know that I have shooting experience and will have a good impression." ”

That's fine.

Lin Zixuan wants to help his sister pass the exam of the professional course of the director department, and it is best to be able to pass the exam by herself, and there is no need to find someone to go through the back door.

"That's no problem, there is a cameraman in the art center, let's just invite him to dinner, it won't take much time to shoot a short film, the main thing is that you have figured out what to shoot?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"I want to shoot our capital, just find something interesting on the street and shoot casually, showing the real daily life of our people in Beijing. Lin Xiaoling planned.

"You have a bit of a Western documentary, has anyone in a foreign country made such a film?" Lin Zixuan doubted.

"There are similarities, I'll draw on them. Lin Xiaoling said with a smile.

In the West, there are a lot of real yàn type documentaries, such as a guy who put his camera on the street and didn't ask, and kept shooting, and in the end it was a documentary, but it was more boring.

"I can hear it, and those film school teachers can definitely see that this kind of shooting method is too bland, it's not attractive, you can't just learn from it, you have to be innovative, and think of new tricks. Lin Zixuan criticized.

"Brother, you are a great writer, full of inspiration, give me a hint. Lin Xiaoling flattered.

"Even documentaries can't passively look around for material, they should actively participate in it. Lin Zixuan said, "Let's do this, you take a microphone, go around the street to ask people questions, and shoot the real reactions of these people." ”

"What am I asking?" asked Lin Xiaoling.

"You can ask anything, 'Have you eaten?' when you meet an old man, 'Are you happy?' when you meet a couple, 'Uncle policeman, I picked up a penny', or simply ask, 'Is it windy in the capital today?'" Lin Zixuan gave an example, "What questions to ask is not the point, and how to answer is not the point, the focus is on the state of everyone at that time, and their state is the current state of the capital, and it is also the state of Huaguo in this era." ”

"Brother, it is very meaningful to be photographed by you like this, I have recorded an era. Lin Xiaoling said excitedly.

"Don't be too ambitious, I'll just give you an idea, you think about it yourself, write a shooting plan, and I'll find someone for you." Lin Zixuan reminded, "Remember, documentaries pursue truth, not the kind of arranged stories, only in this way can they give people an impact and make people feel interesting." ”

Lin Xiaoling nodded in agreement, feeling suddenly enlightened.

She has read a lot of foreign movie textbooks these days, and has also participated in the filming of TV series, and she wants to shoot something, but she is a little confused and ignorant, Lin Zixuan's words pointed out the direction for her.

On the way back, Mu Shanshan talked to Lin Zixuan about it.

"Your idea is very good, it is a bit of a waste to let Xiaoling shoot, if you find a professional documentary director, you may be able to make an influential film and open a new way for Chinese documentaries. Mu Shanshan commented.

Lin Xiaoling still can't figure out the mystery in it, Mu Shanshan has filmed documentaries, she thinks more than Lin Xiaoling.

At present, most of the documentaries in China are posed, and the so-called posing is to reconstruct the original scene.

In the field of documentaries, posing is not equal to fake, but a kind of real restoration, of course, if the restoration is not real, it is considered fake, and posing has been in existence since the birth of documentaries.

The shooting method mentioned by Lin Zixuan is a kind of sudden shooting, that is, asking random questions on the street, without any prior arrangement, and everyone's reaction is very real.

It doesn't matter what questions you ask, it's what's important is something other than the question.

In the face of the camera, some people will dodge, some will be vague, some will respond calmly, and some will curse, and from the various answers of the interviewee, you can see the various aspects of life in real life.

This is a very real documentary, which is very meaningful.

"It doesn't matter if it's wasteful, let her practice her skills first, and when she really becomes a director in the future, she can shoot it all over again, or shoot it once a year, and it will be a precious information film in the future." Lin Zixuan said casually.

Mu Shanshan nodded, she just felt that it was a pity that such a good subject was used to cope with the exam.

"Are you cheating? If it is really filmed by Xiaoling, it is estimated that it will cause a lot of repercussions in the film academy, and those teachers will probably focus on cultivating her. Mu Shanshan guessed.

"Xiaoling has no experience, so she can't shoot deeper things, but it's good to be able to shoot well. Lin Zixuan shook his head and said.

"Aren't you going to get involved? Shoot a new documentary, maybe you will win an award abroad." Mu Shanshan said with a smile, "An 18-year-old female director who has won international awards, Xiaoling will become famous in the circle in one fell swoop." ”

Mu Shanshan knows that foreign artists are very interested in this kind of documentary that does not follow common sense, and if they participate in the film festival, they should be noticed and have a chance to win awards.

"Forget it, don't kill her, let her go to school in peace. Lin Zixuan vetoed.

Lin Xiaoling didn't know that her great opportunity to become famous in the international film industry was ruthlessly wiped out by her brother, and she was thinking about how to write a shooting plan to cope with the professional examination of the film school. (To be continued.) )
