Cheng Peng stood in front of the gate of the film academy, looking at the six gilded characters in front of him, and a familiar feeling surged in his heart, as if the feeling of being in another world arose.

He came to film school, since he didn't come to chase memories or actors, but to find a suitable executive producer.

The film crew is usually composed of several departments such as the director team, the production team, the drama team, the photography team, the art team, and the recording team, and each department has a number of members, and there are dozens of people.

If so many people are all recruited by Cheng Peng, inspected one by one, and waited for the crew to be completed, I don't know what year and month it will be. So the best thing to do is to find an executive producer and build the production team first, so that you can leave a lot of things to the executive producer and the production team to do.

Cheng Peng attaches great importance to this executive producer, and he hopes that this person can cooperate with him for a long time, become his arm, and even become the company's gold medal producer.

However, such people are not easy to find, China's commercial films are still in their infancy, last year Zhang Yimou's "Hero" only opened the prelude to China's commercial films, veteran filmmakers lack sufficient understanding of the market, and also lack a pioneering spirit, so Cheng Peng plans to find it from the graduate students of the film academy's management department.

There are two advantages to going to the film academy, one is that young people are keen-eyed, quick to accept new things, enterprising, pioneering, and able to endure hardships; In addition, the film school is a big network, through which you can network a lot of talents.

The best way to recruit people to the film school is to go to the department office, they can recommend according to your needs, which can save a lot of trouble.

Cheng Peng went straight to the office building, but when he passed by the teaching building, he saw men and women walking upstairs with textbooks, something in his memory was activated, and a strong situation boiled in his heart, which was the memory in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to go up and have a look.

Check it out! Cheng Peng glanced up at the teaching building, took a breath, and raised his legs to walk upstairs.

Walking in the corridor, the pace is slow, the whole person is immersed in memory, there is sadness, joy, laughter, tears, an inexplicable emotion rippling in the heart. He suddenly felt a little envious, such a youth, such a campus life, how good it would be if he had experienced it once!

Looking at the classrooms, looking at the students laughing in the classrooms, and looking at the youthful and energetic faces, he suddenly wanted to go in and sit down.

Cheng Peng looked into a classroom, there were a lot of people sitting in it, there should be a class, but the twenty-year-old man sitting in the last row caught his attention.

At this age, this dress, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a student of the film school, you should be here to skip class! Cheng Peng's eyes lit up, he walked in through the back door and sat down next to the man.

The man glanced up at Cheng Peng, then leaned on the table again, and continued to draw on the laptop with a mouse.

Cheng Peng looked at the man, twenty** years old, a little fat, looking round, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, a bit like Fan Wei, giving people a familiar feeling.

Then he went to look at what the man had drawn in the notebook, and the picture on the notebook made him stunned, it was a storyboard, judging from the content of the picture, it seemed to be about a person who met an opponent, fled in fear, and then suddenly turned around and decided to fight with the opponent.

The man was a little unsure of the camera movement and composition of the movie, and he scribbled and changed it, trying to find a way to have an impact and truly show the inner changes of the characters, but he never found a satisfactory way to express it.

Cheng Peng groaned slightly, had a good idea in his heart, and lowered his voice: "You can try to behave like this, put the camera rack opposite the actor, slightly at an angle, but also facing the actor, and then the actor runs towards the camera, so that you can clearly capture the actor's expression and eyes." When the actor is running, the camera also follows the actor's movement, and when the actor turns around to make a decision, the camera also rotates, and then stops to film the actor's decision-making process. ”

The man was taken aback, raised his head, glanced at Cheng Peng, and then lowered his head to paint. After drawing the storyboard, he looked at the storyboard and groaned for two seconds, showing a look of surprise, and slapped his thigh: "Wonderful, the camera moves when the actor is moving, and the camera is still when the actor is thinking, so that the movement and stillness not only show the changes in the inner emotions of the characters, but also have a full sense of presence and strong impact, which is wonderful!" Raised his head, looked at Cheng Peng, his eyes showed admiration, and said, "I met a master today, this shot is really awesome!" ”

Cheng Peng smiled faintly and said, "It's just an ordinary way to move the camera, and it's not a master." I see you've drawn good storyboards, are you going to make a movie? ”

The man smiled bitterly: "I want to make a movie, but where is the opportunity, who is willing to invest in me as a novice who has no experience in filmmaking?" I'm a gunslinger and help people draw storyboards! ”

Cheng Peng smiled and comforted, and said: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, I see that your lens is used well, there will definitely be a chance." By the way, what kind of class is this and which teacher's one? ”

The man was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Brother, you can also inquire about the class, you are really bold, you dare to come to Yang Xiaohe's class!" ”

"I'll go, it turns out to be Yang Laohu's class, I'll still hide!" Yang Xiaohe has a short temper and likes to drive people away, and it is too difficult to rub his class, so it is better to go by himself than to be driven away.

When the man saw Cheng Peng getting up to leave, he hurriedly shouted: "It's okay, it's okay, I have a good relationship with Teacher Yang, you sit with me, I won't drive you." ”

Do you have such a big face, is that Yang Laohu? Cheng Peng looked at the man in surprise, a little incredulous: "You're not here for class?" ”

The man smiled and said a little proudly: "I'm here to skip class, but I have a good relationship with Teacher Yang." What department are you from, I haven't seen you before, are you a freshman who has just entered the school? Impossible, how can a newcomer have such a high level! After speaking, he looked Cheng Peng up and down, with a puzzled face.

Cheng Peng had a good impression of the man in front of him, and it could be seen from the storyboard that he had strong art skills, and the level of storyboarding was quite high, and he explained with a smile: "I came to the school to do business, passed by the classroom building, and saw students coming in and out, so I came in to have a look, and experienced the feeling of taking classes in a film school, which department are you?" ”

The man smiled, "I'm from the department." What a coincidence, it just so happens that everyone is in class together! ”

Cheng Peng was a little surprised, the department is basically a screenwriter and writes scripts, but the person in front of him has excellent storyboard and art skills, but he is more like the director department, and said with a smile: "There are not many people in the department who can use the lens to this level, Jia Zhangke is the department, it seems that you want to be Jia Zhangke's second!" ”

The man laughed and said: "Jia Zhangke is half of my idol, when I was in college, I accidentally watched Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu", I thought it was too awesome, and I thought I would do it in the future." After graduating from university, he entered Liaoning TV Station as a stage art director, and after working for a while, he felt quite boring, so he went to the film academy to take the examination of Jia Zhangke's original department, hoping to make some interesting movies one day. The man had a very good impression of Cheng Peng, and he did not hide his experience at all.

To be able to give up the job of the stage director of the provincial TV station and come to be a student is an amazing person! Cheng Peng had a little respect for the man in front of him in his heart, and said: "The script is the script of a play, and it is not easy to find a good script." Now that even Zhang Yimou is worried about the script, it is even more difficult for young directors to get us in which round of a good script. If you want to come out, you can only write and direct yourself, and reading the department is the right choice! ”

The man was very happy to see that Cheng Peng agreed with his choice, and he felt like a bosom friend in the period when Boya met his son. To tell the truth, there are a lot of people in this school who are high-eyed, Godard, Fellini, this and that, but there are very few people who can really calm down and talk about the script, and he really looks down on such people: "I feel very close to you when I see it, and you are really a fellow believer, interesting." Come and get to know, my name is Zhang Meng! ”

Cheng Peng was stunned, no wonder he felt a little familiar just now, it turned out to be the director of "The Piano of Steel", where to find the assistant director, didn't he find it? A glint flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "My name is Cheng Peng, I saw you outside the classroom and thought this guy was quite familiar, I just came in, this is really fate!" ”

"That's right, fate! By the way, what do you do? What do you do in film school, if you need help, just say, I'm a snake in film school! ”

"I opened a film and television company, and I was going to make a movie recently, and I came to recruit crew members." Speaking of this, Cheng Peng paused, looked at Zhang Meng, and said, "Zhang Meng, I'm looking for an assistant director, I don't know if you're interested, if you're interested, we can make this movie together!" ”

Zhang Meng's eyes widened, the person in front of him was only twenty-three or fourteen years old, and he was the CEO of the company, and he was making movies, so he couldn't believe it, and hesitated: "You, really fake?" ”

"I'm a little younger, but I'm still quite confident in my level, the storyboard is in the computer, and the class is about to start, and it's not convenient to take it out here, let's find a place to have a good chat, how about it?" Cheng Peng patted his bag.

"Okay, I'm just looking for a lesson, let's find an empty classroom!"

The two found an empty classroom, and after sitting down, Cheng Peng opened the notebook and clicked on the storyboard of "The Two of Us": "Take a look and give advice." ”

After watching the storyboard for more than half an hour, Zhang Meng finished reading the storyboard, he was really impressed, and exclaimed: "The painting skills are a little worse, the characters are a little ugly, I really can't find fault with it, the story, the camera movement, the composition, all aspects are very good!" In particular, the application of color is really awesome, the color of this movie is mostly cold, the picture is dark, a little depressing, so you arranged some red props, telephones, patrol hoops, happy words, red lanterns. Red is the warmest color, and these dotted reds dilute the oppressive feeling of the film, giving people hope and warmth. And these red props have a strong symbolic meaning, just say the telephone, which is a tool for the old lady to contact the outside world and eliminate inner loneliness, and it is also the hope in the heart of the elderly, and red is the color that gives people hope. In addition, the colors of winter, spring, summer and autumn are also given special meanings, you use the different colors of the four seasons to express the changes in the relationship between the characters, winter is gray, spring is green, summer is red, autumn is yellow, corresponding to quarrels, understanding, harmony, parting. It's really awesome, I'm convinced! ”

Zhang Meng originally studied stage design, composition and color are his strengths, and Cheng Peng did an excellent job in this part, and he was really convinced.

"How's that, interested? If you're interested, come with me to make this film. When I have enough funds in the future, I can still invest and let you shoot! Cheng Peng knew that Zhang Meng later made a movie in order to attract investment, but it took a lot of effort, and he smiled and tempted.

Zhang Meng barely thought about it, and replied directly: "Such an awesome movie, only a fool would refuse, I joined!" ”
