113.Chapter 113: Deciding on a Micro Film
In Yanying, most of the semester dramas of other classes in the acting department in previous years were stage plays, and with Gu Xiaofan's current ability, it is not a big problem to make up a stage play with a short program. 【】
But what's the point of winning like this, even if he wins, it will only improve his impression as an actor in the circle a little bit.
Now, he not only wants to win, but also uses this work at the end of the semester to become a business card for himself, not only as an actor, but also as a director!
Therefore, this end-of-semester drama must be a complete film and television work.
Gu Xiaofan began to search the system for those future works he had seen.
Of course, with his current conditions, he can't shoot a theater-level movie, and it is impossible to shoot a TV series...... Thinking about it, it seems that you can only shoot online short dramas.
Online short dramas, there are a lot of good choices in the Sirui system, and the first thing that Gu Xiaofan thought of was a series of short dramas in Germany, "** Silk Lady".
This short drama is very humorous and satirical, bringing together all kinds of jokes and jokes, and the story is very rich.
And there are not many actors' lines in it, mainly relying on various nonsensical and neurotic action performances, which are very easy to shine.
When he first watched it in the system, he laughed so much that his stomach hurt......
On top of that, the scenes in the show are all everyday indoor scenes, without any big shots, and only 7 main actors can complete the filming of the entire series.
But...... There seem to be two problems with this drama......
First, that's the taste of the series, how to say it...... Quite heavy.
There are too many jokes about the sexes in it, and many of the bridges are not suitable for children, although they do not exceed the boundary, but Yan Ying's teacher may not be able to accept it.
And this is not the most troublesome, this one can at least be made up for by selecting bridges and adaptations, and the real difficulty is the second problem.
That is, "** Silk Lady" is a work with women as the protagonists, and this heroine seems to be very ordinary, but the requirements for physical performance are very high, at present, neither Lou Yixiao nor Liu Shishi have this ability.
He, Gu Xiaofan, will definitely not be able to invite other excellent actresses to join......
So there's no way, this film can't be filmed......
This one doesn't work, are there any other short dramas with men as the protagonists that are suitable?
"**Silk Man"? No...... This domestic drama imitating "** Silk Lady", the plot and lines are very rough in all aspects, and it is difficult to get on the elegant hall of Yan Ying.
Gu Xiaofan thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a short play called "Hip Hop Quartet".
The style of this short drama is relatively positive, and the actor is very Zhou Xingchi's style...... The arrangement is also not bad in all aspects.
It's just that...... The style seems to be too bland, and his scenes are not as brilliant as "** Silk Lady", which can't leave a deep impression.
If he had enough time, he could have adapted it, but the big drama at the end of the semester is imminent, and there is no room for this.
Gu Xiaofan pondered and meditated, but in the end he didn't find any suitable short drama works.
In fact, there must be suitable short dramas in the system, but there is no way, he only has forty minutes a day, and he has to watch movies and television, and he has to watch TV programs and MVs, where can he finish watching those short dramas......
Mom, that's not okay, that's not appropriate...... Bother~!
Gu Xiaofan tossed and turned on the bed and hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
Simply do it! This time it's all big! Anyway, with the support of the school, it's better to make a micro-movie in one step~
Can there be a work that reflects the director's skills more than a movie!?
He originally had a micro-movie in his mind that he really wanted to make - "Old Boy".
The film is forty minutes long, and the story is both inspirational and humorous, and the plot is excellent from beginning to end.
Film music is one of the highlights.
The most important thing is that there are Gu Xiaofan's favorite things in this micro-movie, and the male protagonists are all little people like him, who used to be the same small and ordinary......
The reason why Gu Xiaofan didn't want to make this micro-film before was that he felt that there were two aspects that made him a little powerless.
Although the first "Oldboy" was a micro-film, it was quite well-made and far more complex than ordinary short dramas.
Secondly, the actor in this has to span from his student days to his 30s...... This is not easy for a student like him.
Whether as an actor or a director, this debut film is a bit too difficult.
Now, Gu Xiaofan's palms were a little sweaty just thinking about these difficulties......
As his first directorial work, "Oldboy" seems to be an elusive goal......
Go and shoot now, can he really do it?
I don't know why, although Gu Xiaofan knows that this micro-film is beyond his ability, he himself wants to do it.
No...... Not just to think, but to desire!
Whether it was the difficulty of filming or the large span of the characters, although these made him hesitate, these didn't seem to be very important......
Because of an irrepressible impulse boiling in his heart at the moment, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but open the screen in his mind and began to play the picture of "Old Boy".
Close your eyes and look up at the huge screen in your mind, in the void of space, as if he was standing in the center of the shooting set......
Next to him was the cameraman holding the camera and focusing on him, and the recording engineer wiped the sweat from his hands and adjusted the angle of the microphone...... The gaffer hit him in the side of the face with a soft light......
The actor opposite was really nervously waiting for his next line......
All of this was prepared for him, and everyone was waiting for the next moment to begin, waiting for him to put on a stunning performance~
Just thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but boil...... It's as if he's already the main character in this story.
I really want to play this role...... If I want to make this character my own, even if it's only one percent of the way I want to succeed, I want to try......
This sense of longing spreads and burns in his heart, making every cell in his body eager to try~!
I want to act~!
Gu Xiaofan felt the irrepressible impulse in his chest, took a deep breath in his heart, and finally made up his mind.
The director's work of the first part of his life has been decided! It's "Oldboy"!
