Chapter 81: The Interview (Part II)

The examiner continued: "Our interview questions today basically have nothing to do with the professionalism of the screenwriter, because the previous two written exams have proved your professionalism, and today it mainly tests your understanding of the screenwriter, the breadth of your knowledge, and your ability to communicate with the outside world and your ability to execute. So, let me start with the first question, Stanislavsky wrote in his [The Self-cultivation of Actors], that the art of an actor is completely different from craftsmanship, it is based on creation, and I will talk about your understanding of this sentence. ”

"Let's start with this boy, you're the last to come. ”

Han Jae-seok was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he just came on time, and he wasn't late, but he didn't expect to put himself in a very disadvantageous position like this, and he didn't have a lot of time to think at all.

After thinking about it for a while, although this sentence is about the art of actors, it must be related to screenwriters, otherwise this interview should be an actor interview rather than a screenwriter interview, he sorted out the language and said: "A good movie is inseparable from the ups and downs of the plot in the script and the description of the characters, and it is those unknown screenwriters who transform the original work into film language." I think that this sentence can represent my understanding, this sentence is the famous Hollywood screenwriter, Stuart Hazelding said in an interview with the BBC, in the face of reporters' questions, he did not hesitate to answer, I think the cornerstone of the film is the script. ”

Han Jae-seok was the first person to answer, and he didn't have much time to think, so he definitely couldn't say a lot of content, so he thought about it for a while, and still felt that using the most accurate sentences to express it was the king.

After he finished answering, sure enough, the three examiners on the opposite side all nodded, although this young man was young, but he was a little quick.

Next is the answer of the other two interviewers, because with Han Jae-seok's answer in front, they definitely can't answer the same as Han Jae-seok's answer, so they can only answer from other angles, and the examiner will consider that they have been preparing for a long time and will subtract points as appropriate, so Han Jae-seok's score is slightly higher in this level.

After the three of them answered, several examiners wrote and drew on their papers, which seemed to be grading, and Han Jae-seok and the other three were a little nervous.

After a while, the examiner began to speak again: "Then, I will start to talk about the second question, as a screenwriter, you must have a very wide range of knowledge, and you must be very professional, so that your script can not be flawed." So I'm going to start asking you a couple of questions from other majors. ”

He stared at Han Jae-seok: "Let's start with you, I'll ask you to answer." ”

"Inside. Han Jae-seok nodded.

"What is the time when a quarter note is equal to four sixteenth notes, and what is eight thirty-second notes equal to one?" the examiner asked.

Han Jae-seok was ecstatic in his heart, and replied without hesitation: "Quarter notes." ”

"What color should be contrasted with if you want to show great activity without changing the color itself?" the examiner continued.

Han Jae-seok was stunned, he didn't know this question, and replied helplessly: "Red." "What year was the world's first computer born, and what is its name?" the examiner asked.

Han Jae-seok thought about it, he had learned the basic knowledge of computer science in college, and the teacher talked about the world's first computer in the first class, and he did not hesitate and replied: "In 1946, the name was ENIAC"

The examiner nodded and stopped asking him, it seems that there are only three questions per person, and Han Jae-seok feels that he should be able to answer two questions correctly.

Next is the exam of the other two candidates, Han Jae-seok listened on the side, only felt that he was so lucky, if the question given to him was the question of these two eldest sisters, he would not be able to answer a single question.

His first question is about music theory, he is a top student in the music department, this is simply a score question, the second question is blind, the probability of answering correctly is not large, the third question is university knowledge, it should be no problem, the probability of him winning this round is very high.

After a round, several examiners began to write and draw again, giving grades. "One last question. The examiner continued.

The three of them cheered up and listened to the examiner say: "If you are lucky enough to be a screenwriter of K.B.S, then you will definitely have the opportunity to go abroad often, why, because many series are going to be filmed abroad, I just want to test your foreign language skills now, so introduce yourself first, remember, in English." “

The examiner stared at Han Jae-seok.

Han Jae-seok understood and stood up directly.

The woman sitting next to Han Jae-seok finally breathed a sigh of relief, Han Jae-seok answered in the first two rounds, she felt very good, and at this time he guessed that Han Jae-seok was so young that his English should not be very good.

In fact, Han Jae-seok's English is indeed not very good, mainly speaking, he can understand general communication, and he can also say some daily sentences, but his level is still lacking in real on-the-spot performance.

He stood up and introduced himself generally, although the level was not very good, but it also surprised the people present, this child's English level has reached the level of being able to communicate with foreigners normally, which is better than most adults.

After he finished speaking, it was the turn of the second person, and the level of the woman sitting next to him couldn't be checked much with Han Jae-seok.

Han Jae-seok secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then the third woman stood up, and he was completely depressed, this woman is estimated to have come back from abroad, and her English is quite standard, and she must have won this round.

After the three questions were completed, Han Jae-seok and the others quietly waited for the exchange of several examiners.

After a while, the examiner sorted out the materials of several people, then looked at the three people opposite, and said: "For the sake of fairness, we will release the results on the spot, and if you have any objections, you can raise them on the spot." “

After a pause, she continued: "I will announce the final score of the three of you, and the winner of a question will be worth 25 points. “

She looked at Han Jae-seok, and a smile suddenly bloomed on the corner of her mouth: "Han Jae-seok, your final score is 75 points." “

After she finished speaking, she immediately announced the scores of the other two: "Shin Ji, 0 points, Li Xiuying, 50 points." “

Han Jae-seok's heart fluttered, he scored the most, so he won? This is the win?" The woman sitting on the far left of Han Jae-seok stood up: "Three questions, I may not answer the first question as well as him, but I am sure that I won the second and third questions, why is his score higher than mine?"

The examiner looked at this girl with regret on his face, this girl didn't look very old, only twenty-seven or eighteen years old. "Who told you that we only have three questions?" said the examiner with a sigh, "In fact, the interview has already started from the moment you walked in the door. "Mo?" said the girl named Li Xiuying strangely.

The examiner took out a piece of paper from the assistant next to him, handed it to Li Xiuying, and said, "Look at it, we have divided a total of four questions, one question is twenty-five points, and the total score is one hundred points." “

Li Xiuying looked at the above question in a daze, and saw that the first question was impressively written: "Pick up the confetti on the ground, throw it in the trash, and add twenty-five points." “

The examiner began to say: "As a screenwriter, you must have subtle observation, because he is the best helper in a crew and a favorable supervisor of the director, he must be able to control every detail, just like the second question said, the screenwriter is the cornerstone of a crew." "Also, once the screenwriter has a crew, he often has to follow the crew around, and execution is also very important, maybe you also saw that confetti, but your mind is not on it, which means that your execution is not good." The examiner said slowly: "Han Jae-seok, the first and second questions won, the third question is tied with you, and the third question is 25 points each, so the comprehensive score, Han Jae-seok is 75, you only have 50, do you still have any objections?"

Li Xiuying cried out when she heard this, and then slumped in the chair, she was the closest to success, but the one who didn't succeed, the pain in her heart can be imagined, on the contrary, the eldest sister next to Han Jae-seok, who scored zero points, was not so sad.

The examiner stood up, walked up to Han Jae-seok, and stretched out his hand, Han Jae-seok instinctively stretched out his right hand and shook it with her. "You're going to be the youngest screenwriter ever at K.B.S., congratulations. The examiner said. "Inside. Han Jae-seok was stunned.
