The content of Lin Xiaoling's lectures does not rely on books, she mainly talks about her own experience. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is not to say that her experience has surpassed those film masters, but it is more suitable for young directors in China today, especially after being in charge of the Young Directors Support Fund of Good Dream Company, she has come into contact with many young directors and encountered many problems.

She gained a wealth of experience in helping these directors make their first films.

Lin Xiaoling wants to tell these experiences to the students in the audience, so that they can understand today's film market, avoid detours, neither be blindly pessimistic, nor think too highly of themselves.

The market is very brutal and the elimination rate is high.

Less than half of the students in each class of directing can persevere, less than a quarter insist on making films, and very few succeed.

How to quickly adapt to the market, find the right positioning, and attract investment is a problem that students should consider.

In other words, it is to find a job first, and then choose a job.

First of all, you must ensure that you get mixed in this circle, and if you have a little fame, you can strive for the movie you want to make, and when you become famous, you will not be bad for money, and you will have the capital to squander.

It's realistic, but that's actually it.

Lin Xiaoling is talking about employment, that is, how to be a qualified director.

She gave some examples of encounters, there are always people who feel that they have no talent, and if his script is made into a movie, it will definitely win international awards, box office hits, and shock the world.

It's a pity that no one is willing to invest, and Huaguo Film has no way out because of this.

There are many people who think this way, and there must be such people among the students in the audience.

"It's good to have dreams, and I have dreams, but I can't be arrogant. Lin Xiaoling said in a deep voice, "Li Yu graduated from college that year, won an award for his graduation work, and was ready to make a career in Hollywood, and then he wrote a script for a Hollywood film company for ten years, dozens of stories, revised over and over again, and finally brushed off. ”

A qualified director must not only know how to direct, but also understand the operation of the market, and must endure loneliness.

Lin Xiaoling talked about her work in the Young Directors Support Fund.

She chooses investment projects, the script and the director are indispensable, the script is the foundation, and the director's mentality is very important, which is related to the success or failure of the film.

Some directors do not shoot smoothly, the pressure is too great, and the psychology is easy to collapse.

"The profession of director is not a shortcut to success, but more difficult and bumpy. Lin Xiaoling concluded, "I will select five students from among you to help me shoot the new film, which is filmed in Shanghai, and interested students can send their personal information to my mailbox." ”

Assisting in filming is equivalent to an assistant director, not an assistant director, or doing odd jobs on the set.

Even so, it is a rare opportunity for these students.

This is the end of Lin Xiaoling's first class.

She doesn't have much time to focus on class, she still focuses on filming, and some time ago she was busy with the production and promotion of "A Bite of China", and now she is finally preparing a new film.

Her new film is an urban theme, or she is good at urban themes.

Each director has his own style, which has a lot to do with his or her life experience.

Zhang Yimou's best movies are mostly rural themes, Feng Xiaogang's Beijing-style comedy can make people laugh, and Jia Zhangke is good at grasping the life of a small county.

They've had similar experiences, so it seems real and flavorful.

Lin Xiaoling's films focus on urban life, the tedious stories of families in the city, and the relationship between men and women.

She lives in the city and is familiar with that rhythm, if she is asked to shoot rural themes, she may not shoot well.

Of course, this is not absolute, even if you don't have personal experience, you can experience it, actors don't need to experience all kinds of life, they rely on experience.

Lin Xiaoling left the Shanghai Drama Academy and returned to the hotel where she stayed.

There are also a number of main creators of the crew living in the hotel, they came to see the location and do preliminary preparations, and the official filming will not take until December, which is estimated to take more than half a year.

Lin Xiaoling hurriedly ate and held a meeting with the main creative staff to discuss the shooting plan.

"Brother Zhang, I'm still used to it in the past two days, you can just say what you need to know. Lin Xiaoling said with concern.

"It's good, I'm the same everywhere. Zhang Jiayi responded, "I have played some roles, but it is the first time for a government official, and there is no reference, it is difficult to grasp, and the feelings of this character are more complicated, mixed with rights and desires, and the level is different." ”

"Do you want to contact the prison and let you talk to the corrupt officials?" Lin Xiaoling proposed.

"I think it's feasible, and watching the news is at most imitating their behavior in formal settings, and it is mainly about the change of life and mentality in private. Zhang Jiayi nodded.

Zhang Jiayi is a first-line actor in China and has starred in many TV series.

This time, he cooperated with Lin Xiaoling to shoot a movie, playing a mayor's secretary who is quite deep in the city government and corrupt.

This drama is a joint venture between Good Dream Company and Hucheng Film Group, with an investment of 30 million yuan, and the main filming location is in Shanghai, an international metropolis.

The story is set against the backdrop of soaring housing prices in Shanghai, and tells the story of various social hotspots in the modern city.

Including house slaves, juniors and corruption, etc., this is the current problem faced by Chinese society.

People's wages can never keep up with the pace of housing price increases, and they always want to wait a little longer, and wait until housing prices come down, but unfortunately it can only become a luxury.

At the same time, the moral standard of society has declined, money worship is prevalent, and official corruption is serious.

"Snail House" tells such a story.

The two sisters live in Shanghai, and the elder sister wants to own a house of her own in the big city and live a middle-class life, so she raises money to buy a house.

My sister graduated from college, and she is not deeply involved in the world, and she has a secret relationship with the mayor's secretary who has a wife.

They represent men and women living in the metropolis, facing all kinds of temptations and making different life choices in order to survive and dream.

Lin Xiaoling no longer focuses on marginalized groups such as the elderly or prisoners, she wants to observe the overall picture of society and the events that ordinary people care about.

She has made literary films and tried commercial films, but in her eyes, the dividing line between the two is not obvious.

A good movie is always a reflection of the times, or a product of the times, even if there are metaphors and ironies, they are closely related to the times, and it is difficult for directors to surpass their own times.

Lin Xiaoling doesn't think that she can become a director who transcends the times, there are few directors like that in the world.

First of all, she wants to be a qualified director and make some films that reflect this era.

This is what she asks of her students, and she demands it from herself.
