Chapter 0258 Swears to be Jin Yong in the film industry

After the master tape of the MV was shipped back to the company, the staff of the film and television production department immediately began to edit and compose the action in the post-production, and Du Zhongming naturally acted as the editing and synthesis consultant, he had to ensure that the post-production could fully reflect his usual artistic style, a well-shot film, if the editing was messy, then the audience was still presented with a bad movie.

Star Entertainment's departments are quite harmonious with each other, like Meng Xinghui's music album was originally the work of the music production department, but when it comes to MV, the film and television production department must have the help of the film and television production department, at this time, the film and television production department is absolutely unconditionally obedient to Huang Yiyun's scheduling, because in the future, the film and television production department will also need the help of the music production department, and they don't need any complaints against each other, because they are partners on a battleship.

The work of a crew is over, Meng Xinghui doesn't need to rush to work on both sides so far, he only needs to shoot in one crew, so Yuzi is a lot more leisurely, sometimes there is no role for him, he also has time to rest, so when he has free time, he enters the super entertainment learning space and learns the other two skills: editing and directing.

In the past, the TV series scripts and MV scripts he wrote still belonged to the category of stories, in fact, to transform them into life under the camera, it also needs professional screenwriters to adapt, because he doesn't know much about some of the rules of film and television drama scripts, and he doesn't know much about the camera. , He has long felt that he needs to systematically learn screenwriting skills, but he has not had time, taking advantage of this time, he decided to strengthen his screenwriting skills, at the same time, the writer and director are generally inseparable, looking at Yin Houde's majesty in the crew, and the energetic appearance of the four young directors newly signed by the company, he also wants to join the director lineup and be like James in the future. The king of the world like Cameron!

On this day, Meng Xinghui had no role, stayed at home to rest, Zhuang Jin was still working in the company, Zhuang Xiaomeng went to school, so he was the only one at home, after locking the door, Meng Xinghui entered the super entertainment skills learning space in his bedroom, and opened the two doors of the screenwriter and director.

In fact, the skill of screenwriting is not difficult for him, after all, he has often watched TV series and movies before, and he has also read two scripts to understand the rules, so the learning of screenwriting skills will be rougher, as long as he understands the rules, but what is more interesting is that the mentor who taught him screenwriting will set up some scenarios for him, such as quickly coming up with a story within a specific time and writing it in the form of a script, the requirements are various, and sometimes the requirements make the audience laugh. Sometimes he asks the audience to smile, sometimes he asks to make people sad, and sometimes he asks to make people angry, so Meng Xinghui began to start storytelling training within a specific time under the guidance of his mentor after distinguishing the fundamental difference between the script and the script.

The mentor said that a good screenwriter should be good at controlling all the emotions of the audience, you must use the story you write, use the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the characters you write, quickly bring the audience into a specific situation, and then project your own emotions into it, when you want them to cry, they must really be able to cry, and when you want them to laugh, they will definitely laugh, which has high requirements for the ability to make up stories and the ability to control emotions.

The mentor trained him because of his ability to tell stories and control emotions, a good screenwriter should be able to give names, pick people's nerves, earn people's tears, make people laugh, and let the audience's emotions follow his story ups and downs, laughter, tears and laughter, and feel the various states of life together.

After a period of continuous study and training, he feels that his screenwriting skills have improved a lot, and if he is asked to write another script, he is sure that it will be more exciting than before, and his grasp of the audience's emotions will be more accurate.

After the learning of screenwriting skills came to an end, he opened another door, and behind this door, there was the directing skill he wanted to learn the most.

It should be said that the most beautiful in the entertainment industry are the two roles of actors and directors, not to mention actors, especially big-name actors, they live in the spotlight and are sought after by many fans, they are always the group of people who are most concerned, but the director is not bad, and some big-name directors may be in the limelight more than all actors, such as Chinese directors like Zhang Yimou , Feng Xiaogang , Wong Kar Wai , Stephen Chow , they even created their own unique brands, as long as it is the heroine who plays the leading role in their play, There are even titles such as "Mou Girl" and "Star Girl", in fact, they have indeed turned decay into magic, and they have become popular with many unknown newcomers, and the rookies who have just entered the circle instantly become superstars, such as Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Dong Jie, Zhou Dongyu and others, are all Mou girls branded as "Lao Mouzi", and Huang Shengyi, Zhang Yuqi, Xu Jiao and others are the "star girls" who are popular by Stephen Chow. The stars in the circle are probably rushing to be on their plays.

If you count the big-name directors in Hollywood, like Spielberg, James . Cameron's is even more breathtaking.

Meng Xinghui feels that since he has such a sharp weapon as the god of entertainment, it is a bit of a waste not to learn how to be a director, the role of director is estimated to be the most desirable profession for many young people, of course, there are many young people who want to be directors, the purpose is to unspoken female stars, but for Meng Xinghui, it is definitely not because of this, to this day, he is already a super-rich man with more than 30 billion yuan, and he is young and handsome, talented, There is no need to use a name like a director to attract female stars, to paraphrase a more vulgar phrase, with his current achievements, what kind of woman can't be found?

He wants to make world-class movies, so that these movies can be played in turns in major cinemas around the world, so that people all over the world can understand the culture of Huaxia through movies, understand the values of Huaxia, and truly understand Huaxia, he wants to fight for the right to speak in the cultural and spiritual fields for Huaxia, which will always be the highest purpose of Star Entertainment, only the national is the world!

When he entered the door with the word "director" written on it, he was greeted by an old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, gray hair, and even a gray beard. Jackson, though a little old, is still stylish, looks suave, and has a lovely smile.

"Hello, Meng, I'm Dennis. Fraser, the most successful director of the 24th century, advocated a humanistic view of cinema and devoted his life to finding a balance between commercial and art cinema, and I did a very good job, and my films won awards at both the Oscars and the Cannes Film Festival. I think that whether it is an art film or a commercial film, the final face must be the audience, so those who think that art films should be movies that the audience can't understand, I think it's biased, in fact, there is no essential difference between the director and the family, but they use words to tell stories, analyze people's surnames, and express beautiful ideals, while we use the lens to tell stories, dig out people's surnames, express light and darkness, ideals and reality, I think most of those great works can be understood by the audience, can't you understand "Red and Black"? Can't you read Notre Dame de Paris? Or do you not understand "Dream of Red Mansions"? It's just that people of different levels can see different things from these works, which doesn't mean that they can't understand it at all. However, our art films always hope to distinguish themselves from commercial films, and use difficult and difficult lens language to tell the audience a difficult and difficult story. He'll shake his head blankly because he doesn't know what you're talking about. ”

Dennis. Fraser paused and continued: "Commercial films are good-looking, but art films can't be understood, it has become a consensus for a long time, so can we make movies that are both good-looking, so that the audience can understand, and have a strong artistic and humanistic spirit, it is difficult to do this, and in the 24th century, there are many people who are committed to doing this, and I am one of them who is doing better, and I am inspired by those great works." I've been looking for a long time to see how they can be understood by everyone, and people of different cultures and life experiences can see different things in them, and if our films do the same as these books, wouldn't it? ”

"Everyone can understand it, but people at different levels can see different things from it", this sentence made Meng Xinghui's heart move. Fraser's view of art is very much agreed, whether it is art, we must not abandon the people, if you carefully concoct an artistic feast, can only be consumed by a small number of people, and the vast majority of people can not consume or cannot afford to consume, then such artistic vitality is destined to be short-lived. Art and commerce cannot be completely broken in the first place, and no matter how expensive a work of art is, it will eventually be transformed into a commodity, so won't Picasso Van Gogh's paintings be priced? It's just that the price is much higher than ordinary paintings. Commodities with high prices are still commodities.

Of course, this view may not be correct, but it is more in line with Meng Xinghui's appetite, because of his background, he can't spend his whole life to serve only a few specific so-called elites, no matter what he wants to do, he must take into account the interests of the vast majority of people, even if he makes movies, he will never flaunt Qinggao, but make movies that the vast majority of people can understand.

Of course, if he can do it like Dennis. In Fraser's way, on the basis that the vast majority of people can understand, it is more perfect to let people at different levels see different things.

This is just like Jin Yong's works, there are too many people who write martial arts, but in the end, Jin Yong is the only one who can enter the house, doesn't his work uphold such a humanistic point of view? Even if it is a junior high school student, he can still hold his reading with relish, and the professors who study can also hold Jin Yong's famous book to tell college students about his research results, whether it is entertainment surname or surname, Jin Yong has done the extreme, so as to separate his works from the general pure commercial martial arts, saying that Jin Yong is a work, probably no one will object, and in the 20th century 100 books, Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", "Dragon Babu" and other masterpieces are ranked very high.

Meng Xinghui feels that he should make movies like Jin Yong wrote, if he really does it, then he must be a phenomenal director.

And because of Dennis. Fraser's teachings, as well as Meng Xinghui's own insistence, so his later works are all this way, between art films and commercial films, Meng Xinghui's film works are neither as dull as pure art films, nor as superficial as pure commercial films, he pays attention to digging out people's surnames in the rhythmic and exciting storytelling, expressing feelings, inspiring people's thinking, which is both good-looking and can make people reflect after watching it, or longing, or lofty, or strong, Meng Xinghui's works are neither pure commercial films, Nor is it a pure art film, he has embarked on a path that has made his own unique mark and will forever be recorded in history.

Dennis. After Fraser finished talking about his humanistic view of film, and got Meng Xinghui's approval, he began to tell Meng Xinghui about some of the director's basic theories, which is the art of words, and film is the art of the lens. Why is that?

In fact, many movie stars in Hollywood have acted in TV series, but once they become movie stars, they will never go back to acting in TV series, and only in Huaxia is there no such obvious boundary between TV drama stars and movie stars, in the final analysis, it is because the mass bases of the two countries are different.

Some people say that TV series are not just longer movies, in fact, this is not the concept, you look at TV dramas in our country, most of them are about drama, the actors have many lines, maybe a shot is facing the male and female leads, two people can grind for ten minutes there, and the lens basically does not change much, the lens of the TV series just faithfully records the story, and the movie is different, the audience who will watch the movie actually sees the director's vocabulary, and the director's vocabulary is shown through one shot, for example, a close-up, Shoot a lonely plum blossom standing stubbornly in the cold wind, and you can feel the emotions that the director wants to express to you from this shot. He doesn't need to use the actor's mouth to speak, he only needs to use the camera to express it clearly.

Movies are the art of the lens, watching TV series is to see the storyline, and watching movies is to see the expressiveness of the lens, which is the fundamental difference.

With Dennis's narration and teaching, the future director Meng Da soon entered the world of lens art, and he was fascinated and enjoyed it.
