At sunset, the red glow flies in the western mountains, and the soldiers shoot targets and return the camp to the camp.

The red flowers on the chest reflect the colorful glow, and the happy singing is flying all over the sky.

The freshmen of the freshman military training of the Beiqi Film Academy finally returned from the garrison camp, and Zhang Tan, who had not been in the school for a long time, also returned to the school.

Fifteen students of the directing department got together for the first time.

There are older students like Han Weiguo who have mixed up with the crew, have directors' plans, and are ready to study; is like Chen Li, a young man who has played until he is in his twenties and decides to chase his dreams; There are also young people like Hu Dong, relying on their relationships or skills, to pass the test and get in.

Of course, there is also Zhang Tan, who got in by relying on his fame.

This year's directing students are also regrettable, there is not a single girl, fifteen pure masters.

"I watched the news two days ago, "The Condor Heroes" sold 4 million adaptation fees, it's too exaggerated, you are the God of Wealth!" When Han Weiguo saw Zhang Tan's face, he exaggerated.

Zhang Tanxin said that if you have the memory of being reborn in a lifetime, you can also make a fortune.

In fact, the road taken by Zhang Tan can be said to be the least profitable road, and with an advanced vision, doing business is the most profitable. However, this most unprofitable road is indeed Zhang Tan's favorite, because he can live in the way Zhang Tan likes and live the literary and artistic style he yearns for.

"I don't make a lot of money, I sell a copyright, and I only have a little copyright fee, and most of it is taken by the film and television company. "Shooting the Condor" sold tens of millions of dollars just by selling the broadcast rights, and after a while, it is estimated to be hundreds of millions. In this comparison, Zhang Tan didn't make much.

Han Weiguo felt sorry for Zhang Tan: "Actually, you can set up a film and television company by yourself, don't you have a studio." You can invest on your own. ”

Zhang Tan nodded and shook his head again: "I have this idea." However, if you start a company, you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses, and it is relatively simple to operate copyright. Nothing risky. And there is a lot of work to prepare for film and television, and all aspects have to pull relationships, which is quite tiring. I still want to live a chic life, and I don't want to be a businessman for a while. ”

"You don't know what it's like to be famous at a young age, we want to be directors, which one doesn't want to be crazy about money. Chen Li's buddy Wang Dagang, you have seen it, I am very warm to you, I want to ask you for investment in the future. ”

"Dagang is a shrewd man." Zhang Tan echoed.

Han Weiguo said that he became famous at a young age and did not know what it was like to be famous. In fact, it's a bad look, Zhang Tan has been a little person for more than ten years, how can he not know what it's like to be worried. In his previous life, he lived to live, and what he wants in this life is to live for himself, and not to live so tired anymore.

In fact, what he admires more is Han Han in his previous life, Han Han ran to drive a racing car in addition to writing, this attitude to life is also Zhang Tan's attitude.

Not tied down. Don't be shackled, put on a backpack, go as you want, and travel around the world. Let me do it.

Life is short for 80 years, minus no ability before the age of 25, and no energy after the age of 55. If you exclude ten years of dedication to your family and career, you will actually be chic for 20 years. That's better to say.

"Twenty years of chic is not enough!"

Zhang Tan thought to himself.

……

When the directing department is in class. It is far less flavorful than Zhang Tan imagined, and the teacher repeats the theoretical knowledge over and over again, which can actually be learned by reading books. Of course, if the teacher is eloquent, it actually sounds quite interesting, and after class, Zhang Tan went up to ask the teacher.

The teacher who taught him "Drama Aesthetics" was a forty-year-old middle-aged teacher named Jing Xianghe, a well-known photographer and director. His wife is more famous than him, and she is Wang Shaolan, the director of "Orange is Yellow".

"Mr. Jing, is the lens of the movie to present a picture that cannot be presented in reality?" Zhang Tan raised this question because in class, Jing Xianghe said a lot of aesthetic concepts, and the aesthetics of drama is not a dead thing, but a processing of reality, but different from reality.

Jing Xiang paused for a moment, and then said, "Tan Zhang, ......"

Although Tan Zhang is also Zhang Tan, as a student, he should use his real name, so Zhang Tan said: "Tan Zhang is a pen name, and my real name is Zhang Tan." ”

"Oh, Zhang Tan." Jing Xianghe read it for a while, and seemed to be in a hurry to leave, "Your question is rather vague, so let's talk about the performance of this scene in detail in the next class, you go back and read the book first, and try to understand it yourself." ”

After Zhang Tan went back, according to Jing Xianghe's instructions, he read "Drama Aesthetics" again.

I found that there was no use for eggs, and it was still a cloud and mountain fog cover.

The next day, there was Jing Xianghe's class again, Jing Xianghe gave a lecture on the lotus again, Zhang Tan found that Jing Xianghe still hadn't spoken, and the picture that the camera should present was not something that could not be presented in reality.

In fact, this is a question of film language, and Zhang Tan wants to know the relationship between film language and reality.

He wants to be a director, and he wants to learn how to understand and think as a director.

However, it soon became clear that taking the "Drama Aesthetics" class was useless.

"These are all basic theory courses, it doesn't matter if you can't take them, the most important thing for a director is to read more books, the more you read, the better, and then you have to watch more movies, you have to watch each movie five or six times, watch its editing, watch its shots, watch its light and color." Wang Dagang held the grilled chicken wings in one hand and gestured with the other.

Zhang Tan was pulled out to eat barbecue again in the evening, all of them were students of the directing department, both juniors and sophomores, and the senior was no longer in school, but went outside to prepare for his graduation work.

Wang Dagang likes to show off very much, and imparts his directorial experience: "I personally think that movies don't actually rely on the accumulation of time, from your first work, you can see how you are a person, not the more you shoot, the better, the right way is how to work hard in a film." ”

"And this depends on talent." An older third-year directing student complained in a sullen voice, "Ninety percent of the graduates of our department have not been directors, and they are planners, TV stations, screenwriters, and producers, and very few can direct." The director has to be talented, and the newcomers in this industry can't get ahead, and they don't even have a chance to shoot commercials. ”

Wang Dagang raised his glass and signaled: "Like the detective, you are different from us, if you are a director, there will definitely be a lot of investment in you." And not you go looking for investment. ”

Zhang Tan took a sip of beer from his cup, and he was not very modest: "I entered the director department." It's to learn how to schedule the crew and how to arrange the shots. ”

"Then I recommend you a few books: "The Power of Cinema", "Screenwriting Psychology", "Audience Psychology", "Cracking the Beauty of Van Gogh", "Don't Understand Color, Don't Watch Movies", "Invisible Editing", "Ten Lectures on Western Music History".

……

That's how the days go.

Classes are held during the day. Write in the evening, and chat with little cuties in your spare time.

The good news kept coming.

Beiqi Sonic Pictures purchased the TV series adaptation rights of "The Four Famous Catchers in Kanto" at a price of 800,000 yuan, and at the same time purchased the TV series adaptation rights of "The Four Famous Catchers in Beijing" at a price of 2.8 million, with a treaty of first refusal to purchase the adaptation rights of "The Four Famous Catchers Against the Cold".

The stand-alone game "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" developed by Xishanju Studio has begun to enter the inner stage, and if it goes well, it will be launched at the end of the year.

The sales of the first volume of "The Four Famous Catchers Against the Cold" were officially counted, exceeding one million copies, and it was a best-selling book for many weeks.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was reprinted. The eight volumes were combined into four volumes, and each volume sold 300,000 copies again.

In view of this, the reprint of "The Condor Heroes" is also on the agenda.

In addition, there is also exciting news for Zhang Tan, that is, Xiangxiang Jade Dynasty Publishing Group has reached a comic licensing agreement with Luzhou Studio, and will plan to launch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the four famous series of martial arts comics.

The Jade Dynasty is a comic publishing house established by Xiangxiang cartoonist Huang Yulang, and Huang Yulang's comics were back then. It once unified the Xiangxiang comic market and exported it overseas. As a result, in the stock market crash of 87, Huang Yulang suffered heavy losses and was afraid that the company would be acquired. As a result, he was found out to have made false accounts and was imprisoned for two years.

After coming out, together with the eldest disciples, he established the Jade Dynasty Publishing Group. Intended to make a comeback, but by this time Japanese manga had invaded Xiang Lane. The business of the Jade Dynasty has not improved much, and it is chaotic to this day.

When "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" began to sweep Asia. When sweeping the Chinese around the world, Huang Yulang saw a business opportunity in it. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was a hit in the mainland, and after the ratings were so good that they exploded, he made up his mind to find Zhang Tan to cooperate and adapt martial arts comics. Luzhou Studio readily agreed to cooperate.

So far, Zhang Tan's novel copyright operation has expanded to publishing, games, TV series, and comics, which can be called a wide source of money.

Young and golden, easy to be romantic.

There are a lot of phone numbers of beautiful women in the phone.

However, Zhang Tan is not starting to be ridiculous, he is still looking for a girl who can make his heart beat faster.

I haven't found it for the time being, but the girls I know in the acting department are beautiful, and many girls have good figures, good faces, good voices, and good temperaments, which makes him have the urge to commit crimes, but he always owes that little feeling.

Drizzle and breeze.

The beginning of the school season in September is just a full day.

Zhang Tan has adapted to the atmosphere of studying at Nortel, and although many theoretical classes give him a feeling of "natural and egg", he still seriously absorbs the knowledge of directing.

There are still benefits in the directing department, and the film appreciation class is one of the benefits, you can see many classic films at home and abroad, and then the teacher will analyze them while watching them, which makes Zhang Tan feel like the movie is unveiled.

Begin to peel off your own vision from the audience and establish a director's vision.

What is this shot, is the lighting arranged here, is the color bright enough, is the soundtrack just right, why is it edited like this, and what is the significance of this scene...... This is an expansion of thinking, cultivating the feeling of the camera, if a director does not have the feeling of the camera, the picture must be stiff and dull.

In addition to watching films, there is also a program that Zhang Tan likes, that is, there are many domestic and foreign directors who will come to Nortel for exchanges.

At the end of September, a German director came to promote his documentary, which was well shot and the director's eloquence was good, telling a lot of interesting stories during the shooting, and leaving time to communicate with the students.

Zhang Tan also raised his hand to ask.

"This classmate, please speak." This is said in German, because it has been said many times, and the translator next to it did not translate again.

Zhang Tan asked: "Director, how to use color in the movie?" How do you grasp the feelings of the audience? ”

The German director spoke a passage in German, which was translated: "If you have a picnic with me once, I can talk to you for a night." ”

This humorous answer caused bursts of laughter from the students below, and Zhang Tan also smiled.

However, after laughing, Zhang Tan found that this answer was a "natural egg". (To be continued.) )
