384 First film
These two neuropaths are Gus, whom Qin Guan met on his debut, and Director George Clooney, who was sent by Chuck, who was discerning at New York Fashion Week. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
They all contacted the teaching office of Columbia University through a relationship of friends, and wanted to ask for a corresponding vacation for Qin Guan in advance.
It's a pity that in front of this stubborn Professor Martin, these two old men, who have added up to more than a century, finally know what it means to refuse.
As a very academic authoritative professor, Columbia University has given them considerable authority, and the approval of this fake note is also quite strict.
"No talk, no talk! My student is naturally the most elite person in New York City, and he has studied hard with me, and he is competent to be a stupid and rich president in the White House, and to be a national economic analyst. ”
"Why should I let such a good seedling make a movie, and with your IQ, he can still guide him?"
As the leader of the three major economic theorists in the United States, Martin naturally has his arrogant capital, but how can these two people who have been dealing with the operation of movies for many years lack the ability to communicate with people.
"Celebrities in other fields at Columbia University are much more famous, but who is the envy of everyone who stands at the top of public opinion? How many U.S. nationals know their name? ”
"You don't expect ordinary people's brains to understand your hard work, but Qin Guan can, and what we shoot is not a brainless commercial film, both of us are shooting works that are going to participate in the highest palace of art."
"Let's just put it this way, the film hasn't been filmed yet, we have already applied for this shortlist, my Gus is naturally Cannes, and George is Venice."
"We account for two of the top ten art films in the world."
The old man Martin on the other side was a little yearning for what he said, but his mouth was not loose: "But how do I know that you can win the award, and besides, where does anyone in the United States watch art films." ”
Just as he was saying this, the door was pushed open with a creak, and Qin Guan, who wanted to knock on the door, thought that the door of the office was not covered.
"Exactly" Gus pointed to Qin Guan at the door, "You let your student choose whether he wants to shoot our film or not." ”
Professor Martin pouted his beard and looked at this uninvited guest, Qin Guan came to him at this time, and Professor Martin knew that this student was still willing to film in his heart.
Qin Guan, who has read the script for a long time, doesn't matter what role he plays, the important thing is that these two films can fulfill his dream of art films.
The United States will not lose the opportunity to participate in the show because his face is too dazzling, and the real fairness lies here.
"I won't miss any homework, after the results of the second quarterly exam before the winter vacation come down, if I drop a little, I don't need to teach you, I will never participate in a movie in the future."
"That's what you said, first of all, your attendance is lowered, so you can still get an A+? Do you have time to complete classwork? ”
"Yes, that doesn't take up effort, if it weren't for my limited typing speed, I wouldn't have taken ten minutes to do the kind of superficial homework you gave."
"Get out, you all get out of here..."
The two old men and Qin Guan came out of Professor Martin's office under the attack of waste paper, knives, and inkwells, and looked at each other and smiled.
According to the original plan, it was Gus's "Elephant" that started filming immediately, and it was a coincidence that a story about a school shooting miraculously coincided with the events at Columbia University.
As for George's movie, it may be necessary to continue to prepare and wait for the call of the old man on the other side.
In winter, the first snow has not yet fallen on the campus, and the copper lion also spews the first cold fog in front of the early morning car headlights.
The filming location of the movie Elephant is at a public high school near the center of New York City.
It has the typical style of an American university, with an unobstructed fence and an open campus that connects with the entire living community around it.
The scene of this shooting was also approved by the person in charge of this school, and some tidbits could only be filmed during the normal class period of the students.
Because it can't disturb the people, it is natural to use high-pixel DV cameras to follow the whole process.
As one of the protagonists in this drama, it wasn't until he came to the scene that Qin Guan learned about Director Gus's shooting method.
From the perspective of each individual character, as an independent story, the lives of all the people involved in this drama are recorded from the perspective of a bystander.
That's the style of director Gus.
And these people involved, in this small school, are always able to produce the same intertwined trajectories.
The first actor to appear in this film is a blonde American boy, John, who has a messy family life and an alcoholic father who needs to be taken care of.
Even so, he did not give up his responsibility to take care of his family, even if he was often late for this matter, and was called into the office by the principal again.
Gentle, he didn't forget to store the keys to the car at the faculty service station when he came out, because he would be responsible for driving his father to his home after work.
And when he was done with everything, he finally burst into tears in the empty conference room.
At this time, his good friend L, who is beautiful and lively, gave him an encouraging light kiss to reinvigorate his mood, and left the campus at the end of class.
At the same time, this was the first time he had a formal meeting with Qin Guan and another actor, Alex.
At this time, the lens changed again, and then with a hobby of photography, the future dream is to be a photographer's lens sense, bringing everyone to another person's life.
Filming here, Qin Guan's head, who was watching from the sidelines, was a little painful, not to mention that art films are not about telling a story, but about the feelings of filmmakers.
This sentence is the same even in the most commercial United States on the other side of the ocean, Gus really has his own unique way of shooting, a bit of documentary realism, and a bit of art film romance.
He likes to use slow long shots to carefully and truthfully record the details of each actor, and then in Qin Guan's shooting, he knew what kind of hardship he would suffer from this shooting method.
Don't think it's incredible to spend three whole days shooting the stars in the sky for 4 minutes.
As far as the first shot of Qin Guan directed by Gus was filmed five times, it was not that the actors' performances were missing, but that he was trying his best to find a sense of balance in the real shot. (To be continued.) )
