Chapter 5 Determine the script of the short film
"Who was that girl just now?" After being symbolically kicked in the ass by Zhou Chunwang, Shi Jingming asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen it." Zhou Chunwang said.
"But I saw you talking to her just now?"
"Yes, because I don't know each other, I want to get to know her, so I chatted with her for a few words, and I don't care about it."
"・・・・・・ you cow." Unlike Zhou Chunwang, Shi Jingming will be a little nervous when talking to any girl, let alone going to talk to a strange girl.
The two ran two laps together, and the girl was long gone, and I don't know if I was tired of running or worried about being harassed again, so I left. Then Zhou Chunwang was invited to play, he thought about it for a few days and hadn't touched the ball, so he went.
Zhou Chunwang's Meizhu Middle School is not the best high school in the city, but it is also ranked in the top five. However, there is not much attention paid to the club, and the basketball team is generally organized and practiced by the students themselves. Therefore, even if Shi Jingming has good physical conditions and usually practices hard, he has never had professional and systematic training, so he doesn't know how far he is from the players who play cuba in college. However, they often organize competitions with other schools, and the captain of the school team is also very good, so they basically win more times.
Zhou Chunwang is not a member of the team, but sometimes he is invited, and he will play a few games when he has time. Generally, he plays the position of small forward, no way, 173cm height is relatively short on the court; Therefore, he usually practiced mid-range shots and midfield jumpers desperately. Because he is not ready to play regular games, he desperately practices the midcourt jumper to the best, and when few people can defend it, he can already play well in the game of high school students.
They didn't finish until 7 o'clock, and then a few dormitories or people who rented a house in the neighborhood got together to go to dinner. In 1999, prices were still very modest, generally one yuan for a fried green vegetable, and about two or three yuan for a fish or a plate of braised pork. Zhou Chunwang lived in the school dormitory in the first semester of his first year of high school, and he has been renting a house outside since the beginning of the second semester. The rent is also very cheap, many of the near the school are rented out semester by semester, single rooms are generally more than 100 times a semester, and the better ones are more than 200. There are also monthly rents, but the student party rarely rents this, because it is a little more expensive, and I don't think it's necessary. Originally, Zhou Chunwang was also the kind of person who rented a semester, but later he became a reborn person, and he was used to living in places ten times better than these, so he had higher requirements for these. So since the beginning of his sophomore year of high school, he rented a two-bedroom and one-hall monthly rent, the environment is better, 230 yuan a month, the address is also a little farther away, and it takes about 12 minutes to walk.
The first thing I did when I got back was to take a shower and then start writing the script.
During this period, Zhou Chunwang had nothing, no mobile phone, no computer, if you want to play the Internet, you can go to the Internet café. However, Zhou Chunwang didn't plan to go to an Internet café to write a script, the first is that it is difficult for him to calm down and write in a noisy place, and the second is that this time he is only going to write a script for a short film, which doesn't take many words, write it with a pen and then draw the storyboard script.
The notebook was spread out, the pen was taken out, and I began to think.
There are many famous short films in later generations, but Zhou Chunwang doesn't want to make those nonsensical comedy short films, and it's not suitable, not to mention that it's not the era of self-media, and even those online video sites haven't come out yet, even if you really find the right actor to shoot "Never Expected" or "The Man with Silk" is destined to hit the street - I don't rule out the possibility that it will suddenly become popular in a few years, but it must be very unwise to shoot this kind now. Of course, Zhou Chunwang didn't expect this short film to become popular or anything, this time it was mainly to practice the "feel", re-familiarize himself with shooting techniques, creative ability, etc., by the way, let's see if I can use it when I apply for the Peking Film Academy next year, maybe I really didn't get into it by then, maybe I can rely on the works to make them admit them exceptionally.
The most famous and influential short film (or many people like to call it a micro-film) is probably "Old Boy", if this one is filmed, of course, it will be perfect, and the first can show Zhou Chunwang's directing skills well; The second is that the story is very touching and very resonant, Zhou Chunwang himself has watched it several times in the previous life, and he was moved to tears twice in the first two times, and he is learning their shooting techniques and storytelling skills. However, this was also vetoed by Zhou Chunwang, because the funds were too expensive, and he couldn't afford it at present. And he didn't have time to find the right actor, in short, it was very troublesome. He is now just preparing to make a short film to test the waters, with a small budget and simple scenes, but it must have a story, be interesting, and resonate with young people.
Zhou Chunwang sometimes turned his pen, sometimes walked around the room, sometimes lay on the bed, and spent all night thinking about the stories stored in his head, but he didn't even write a word.
Finally, at one o'clock in the morning, Zhou Chunwang sat down on a chair and wrote a title in his notebook: "Goodbye Meitang Station".
That's it, and once you've figured out what you're going to shoot, it's much easier to do the rest.
Now go to bed first.
I couldn't wait when I woke up the next day, but I still came to school after breakfast, and then asked the class leader for leave and asked him to talk to the teacher during class. Yesterday, the head teacher had already greeted the class leader, and now many people in the class knew that Zhou Chunwang had also become an art candidate, so he didn't say anything.
Zhou Chunwang came to the rooftop of the library and started working.
The original name of "Goodbye Meitang Station" is actually "Goodbye Jinhua Station", but the name of the station is actually just a symbol, it can be a non-existent bus station; Meitang Station is a non-existent bus stop, and Zhou Chunwang changed him just to make it more like the name of the place on their side, without affecting the plot.
The story is very simple, it is about an ordinary high school student who suddenly fell in love with a girl when he was preparing for the college entrance examination. But a simple story can be blended into a sincere and touching short film from different angles, different shooting techniques, and different lines.
The first scene is the scene of three boys eating in a restaurant, because Lin Qiang, one of the hero's two best friends, did not do well in the college entrance examination, and his mother asked him to repeat his third year of high school, so the three of them complained and drank in the restaurant. This short film doesn't have too many dramatic conflicts, and the biggest highlight is the very witty and unique lines. Therefore, Zhou Chunwang wrote down the lines of the first act. The first act doesn't have much dialogue, but it's very concise and straightforward to introduce the identities of the three characters, and because the lines are witty and unique, they can quickly attract the audience. In fact, this scene can be done without drawing a storyboard script, and even many scenes in this short film can be without a storyboard script, because these are all imprinted in Zhou Chunwang's mind, and he personally shot it, so it is not difficult to shoot it. But in order to continue to exercise his art skills, and in order to facilitate the understanding of the actors at that time, he still decided to draw all the storyboard scripts after writing the script.
