Chapter 058: Let's Go to Graduate School

Bai Yuhan met Wang Kesheng in the small hall of the play.

"Bai Yuhan, right, I have admired the name for a long time." Wang Kesheng is about 50 years old, his hair is gray, he wears a pair of gold-wire glasses, he is polite, and he has the spirit of a bookmaker who has been cultivated by teaching and educating people for many years. The tone of his voice was calm and powerful.

"Hello Professor Wang, I don't have a big name, when Zheng Kai told me that you were looking for me, I was shocked, deeply honored, and terrified."

"I'm a teacher, and I'm not Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige, how can I make you panic. Let's stop flattering each other, this time we meet, let's communicate like friends, okay? I've read all of your work, and I have a lot of questions stuck in my mind, and I want to talk to you face-to-face. ”

"Professor Wang asked, I know everything and say everything."

"Alright then, let's all sit down and talk."

Wang Kesheng has indeed worked hard, and has made detailed records of each of Bai Yuhan's works. However, it is not so much an exchange as an examination, Wang Kesheng will always ask Bai Yuhan why he shoots like this and why he doesn't shoot in other ways on various shots.

This made Bai Yuhan a little embarrassed, he actually didn't understand why he moved the camera like this, because Ya simply copied the content of the episode in his head. But fortunately, he has been reading director's books hard for a while, which has made him good at level, and he can barely maintain a stable situation [1^book^read^novel][.[ yb][du].] Face.

...... reason why the pace of "All in All" is accelerated, including the speed and rhythm of speech, are compressed to less than 2 minutes as much as possible. is because this series itself does not take the funny route, it is actually about a grassroots little person, daily life, and those boring or interesting little things encountered in life. ”

Bai Yuhan saw Wang Kesheng listening to his ears, a little proud, what about the professor of the Department of Drama Directing, he didn't have to fool his brother casually: "Art comes from life, and it is higher than life, if we shoot "All in All" according to the normal rhythm and speed of speech, what is the difference between this and watching others live?" ”

Wang Kesheng couldn't help but nodded.

Bai Yuhan continued: "So art films are often very dull, because most of the art films in China now are hung with the name of art films, shoot some trivial things, and then stuff a big background into it, which is art." We viewers are all laymen, and we don't understand these very well, but we just think, the sadness and dullness of your life in the movie, I live a chic life in reality? Listening to you complain in the movie is better than listening to the quarrel between the little couple next door. ”

"That's what you say...... The words are not rough, and if you taste the products carefully, it seems that this is the truth. Wang Kesheng was surprised, and wanted to say that Bai Yuhan was nonsense and seriously tarnished the artistic value of art films, but it was difficult to distinguish the crooked reasoning, and he really didn't know how to refute it for a while. Some of the art films made in China recently are indeed a bit boring.

Bai Yuhan's flickering rise has its own high spirit: "So, when I decided to shoot "All in All", I thought, I want to shoot grassroots stories, but I can't shoot according to the old routine. So I speed up the pace so the audience doesn't feel dull, I speed up the speech so the audience doesn't feel verbose, I speed up the camera so the audience doesn't find fault with the acting and the set. I compressed the time to 2 minutes, and everyone laughed it off, and I didn't insist on the sarcastic and funny things I said, whether it was really sarcastic and funny. ”

Coughing, Bai Yuhan continued: "In addition, an episode of 2 minutes is aimed at those office workers, now the social rhythm is very fast, and jobs are not as easy to find as before, and they often have to work overtime, and there is not much leisure time." After a day's work, few people are willing to spend 90 minutes or 120 minutes watching a movie or watching those super long series at night. At this time, the 2-minute "All in All" is like you making a cup of tea, taking a sip when you take it up, comforting, and taking up time when you put it down. You don't need to worry about not having time to read the ending, and you don't need to recall what the story said before, just enjoy the smoothness of these 2 minutes. ”

Wang Kesheng couldn't help nodding, and when Bai Yuhan finished speaking, he suddenly asked: "But I saw a lot of people complaining, the speed of speech is too fast, the subtitles are too fast, I can't understand some places, and I have to watch back and pause, isn't this contrary to your original intention?" ”

Bai Yuhan shook his head: "Most people can still understand." If you have to listen to every sentence and read every subtitle clearly, it means that they have this free time, and since they have free time, it doesn't hurt to read it more. It can also increase their interest in researching the film. ”

Time flickered, and an hour passed.

Bai Yuhan's many ideas on online dramas surprised and amazed Wang Kesheng. I feel that although Bai Yuhan is as blank as a blank sheet of paper in terms of professional knowledge, Zhou is simply full of creative talent, and casual small paragraphs and small stories can make people stunning.

"Bai Yuhan, your future is absolutely limitless." Wang Kesheng looked at Bai Yuhan sincerely and said, "But your foundation in the professional field is too weak, which will limit your development in the future." I have this idea, you didn't continue to study after graduating from college, if you could, would you like to come to the theater to study as a graduate student in the directing department? ”

"Let me go to graduate school?"

"Yes."

"Professor Wang, don't be kidding. I haven't touched a textbook for two years, and besides, I didn't study well before, and graduate school was too stressful for me. I still like to make films freely and freely, and now I am also reading some directing books by myself, combining practice, and I think this is quite suitable for me. ”

Wang Kesheng smiled and said: "You have a misunderstanding, it is not terrible to study in drama, in fact, our graduate program is very relaxed, that is, you are arranged to follow a few professors and learn some professional knowledge of directing." And the curriculum is not fixed, you can come to the school completely negotiated, you can come to the school to study if you have time, and you can not come if you don't have time. ”

Bai Yuhan to consider.

Wang Kesheng did not urge: "You can fully consider it, call me when you figure it out, and I will arrange it for you, and you can start studying this year." I also have one more thing to say, which may trouble you. ”

"Professor Wang, please say, if you can do it, you must not shirk it."

"I want to arrange for you to come to the play after a while, and tell my students about your filming experience, your Seven Joy commercials and "All in All" are very classic films, suitable for them to learn from the experience."

Let me give a lesson to a student in the theater?

Bai Yuhan felt that this was too face-saving, but he said modestly: "This is not good, I am soft-spoken, and I am a beginner in the director circle, so I am afraid that I am not qualified to say anything." ”

"You underestimate yourself too much, I don't know about other students, but Zhang Ningjiang, a student of Zheng Kai, he admires you very much. Yesterday I asked Zhang Ningjiang, if I asked you to give him a lesson, he immediately expressed his willingness. Besides, this is just a communication class, and they are willing to listen to their benefits, and they are unwilling to listen to their losses. ”

Having said this, Bai Yuhan was naturally embarrassed to disagree, and besides, he was bored. Sao's personality, I didn't think about refusing.

……

Bai Yuhan refused Wang Kesheng's invitation to dinner, it was boring to eat with the old man, and after agreeing to come to an exchange class with the students of the opera, and considering the matter of coming to the opera to study for graduate school, Bai Yuhan said goodbye.

However, he didn't leave the play immediately, but called Zheng Kai and asked him to call his dormitory roommate out, and then called Li Jinming and asked her to call her roommate out as well, and everyone had a meal together. Zheng Kai and Li Jinming both followed Bai Yuhan to film, and it was also appropriate to invite their classmates to dinner.

Because today is the first day of school, the two dormitories are full, and one of them is invited.

Zheng Kai's dormitory Chen Wei, Du Jiang, Zhang Ningjiang, Li Jinming's dormitory Zhao Qi, Hailu and Jiang Combing, plus Bai Yuhan, a total of nine people, gathered in a restaurant at the entrance of the opera.

"Brother Swordsman, let me introduce you to these three, my roommates, Chen Wei, Du Jiang and Zhang Ningjiang." Zheng Kai pulled three people over.

"Hello."

"Brother Swordsman, good." The three of them greeted each other with a hippie smile, not at all.

Zheng Kai pointed to a beautiful woman and said, "This is the sea route." ”

"Hello."

Hailu also said generously: "Hello Bai Dao." ”

"Zhao Qi, I won't introduce it." Zheng Kai patted Zhao Qi again and said.

Zhao Qi walked over with a smile and glanced at Bai Yuhan: "Brother Swordsman, have you become handsome again?" ”

"I've always been so handsome." Bai Yuhan scratched his hair.

The last one, Jiang Combing, is also a big beauty.

After getting acquainted, sit down and serve.

Zheng Kai asked, "Brother Swordsman, what did you say to Wang Kesheng today?" ”

"I didn't say anything, just discussed some exchanges on the film. It is strange to say that Professor Wang actually wanted to arrange for me to study in drama, and I have graduated for more than two years, so I don't really want to come to study. ”

Hailu asked in surprise: "No, Professor Wang Kesheng asked you to come to graduate school?" ”

Bai Yuhan took out a pack of cigarettes, handed them to Zheng Kai, let them take them and smoke them casually, lit one for themselves, and shook his head: "Isn't this strange for me, but it seems good to think that I can get a master's degree." ”

Li Jinming looked very excited: "This is good, Xiaobai...... Brother, you quickly agree, so that you have also become our students in the play, and everyone is the same brother and sister, how good. Originally, Li Jinming wanted to call Bai Yuhan Xiaobai, but when he remembered it, this was not two people alone, and now they were still secretly in love, so he quickly changed his words to Brother Xiaobai.

Fortunately, everyone didn't pay attention to the nondescript title of Little White Brother, on the contrary, they were all interested in Bai Yuhan coming to the drama to study for graduate school.

Once they become brothers and sisters, the relationship goes further.

"Brother Swordsman, promise, graduate school is not the same as high school, you can come if you like it or not, it's good to put on a name."

"yes, come on."

Zhao Qi laughed and said, "Brother Swordsman, I will call you Senior Brother Bai in the future!" ”

Bai Yuhan waved his hand: "I haven't decided yet, let's talk about it when I think about it." ”

Study!

What a difficult decision it was!
