0035 【Gone to school】
There are a lot of beautiful men and women in Nortel, and there are many high-end cars, which stop at the school gate to pick up these beautiful girls. Among the four people, Yue Xiaojun is from Chinese opera, Huang Bo and Ning Hao are both from Nortel, and they are naturally very familiar with Nortel, only Shao Shuaijun is the only one, and he is full of curiosity about Nortel.
However, after walking around, Shao Shuaijun found that there was nothing mysterious about the legendary university, and the buildings were not better than those in other places, and the scenery was average.
Finally, the four of them sat down by the pyramid next to the main school building and talked in boredom.
"How did you Nortel get a pyramid out, it's weird?" Shao Shuaijun asked. This pyramid is made of stone, as high as a man, and the earth is not much to pull.
Huang Bo shook his head: "The devil knows what the school thinks." ”
"It may tell us that it is necessary to make a collective movie, and the top of the rising tip is naturally easy to attract attention, but we can't ignore how many people need to fill the foundation of the tower." Ning Hao analyzed.
", how come I don't know?"
Ning Hao smiled and said, "You don't know more, do you know the Pyramid Award?" ”
"What's that?"
"I don't know, more than ten years ago, Nortel held an academy award called the Pyramid Awards, which selected the best alumni to make movies that year. The award was voted for by the students of each department, and it was fair and open, and the names and films of the winners were engraved on the medals and put into the pyramid, and then they were gone. See, it's inside the door. I can't remember what the previous movies were, when I voted in 93, everyone voted for Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", which is actually undisputed, and the status of this film is here. However, the reason why the award is no longer held is because of this movie. ”
"Why?"
"At that time, the award was to be reported, and it was very unpleasant to see it above, and it became angry, saying that how can this movie be the best? There is also a special period, and there is comradeship, which is very bad for the reputation of the motherland. said that he would not be selected as the best, so the school had to do the work of the students, and the other departments were re-elected to another film, and I can't remember what film. is the only director department, the choice is still Brother Chen Kai, or "Farewell My Concubine", the school is holding meetings, reasoning and doing work, but the result is still Chen Kaige...... The award was cancelled and the door was never opened. ”
After Ning Hao finished speaking, he sighed.
Shao Shuaijun also sighed: "Chinese filmmakers, Chinese directors, as long as this backbone is not lost, Chinese films will rise one day after all." But I was thinking in my heart, Brother Chen Kai filmed "Farewell My Concubine" back then, but this year he filmed "Wuji", will he feel blush when he sees this pyramid in the future?
As he was talking, a shout came from afar: "Ning Hao? ”
Ning Hao looked up and quickly stood up: "Professor Wang, you just got out of class?" ”
The person who came was Wang Hongwei, an associate professor of Nortel's directing department, Shao Shuaijun naturally saw it and quickly stood up: "Professor Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, is your health okay?" ”
"Hey, Shao Shuaijun, are you here too? Congratulations, the movie is a big hit, with a box office of more than 100 million, good! Huang Bo, Yue Xiaojun, are you all there? "Wang Hongwei is very energetic. Coincidentally, Wang Hongwei and Shao Shuaijun met in the crew of "Crazy Stone", and they are even more familiar with Ning Hao, Ning Hao's just-finished movie "Green Meadow" was also directed by Wang Hongwei.
Speaking of which, Wang Hongwei can be regarded as Ning Hao's mentor.
"How did you guys get together, oh yes, I almost forgot, the news said that Shao Shuaijun has a new play, and it will be directed by Ning Hao. How about it, today are you looking for actors from Nortel? ”
"No, the main thing is that I didn't go to college, so let them take me in and feel it."
Wang Hongwei's eyes lit up, and he looked Shao Shuaijun up and down: "You haven't studied in college, right, tsk, it's better to come to Nortel to study, with your current grades, it's no problem to be specially recruited into the director class." How about it, do you want to come to Nortel for further study and recharge yourself? I'll give you the approval of the formalities myself! ”
Special move? Study?
Shao Shuaijun had a moment of excitement in his heart, and going to university to study directing courses was the biggest dream of his last life. If it is possible, of course Shao Shuaijun wants to realize this dream, he didn't have the opportunity before, but now that he has become famous, it should not be difficult to come in again. But as soon as the promised words came to his mouth, Shao Shuaijun swallowed again.
He knows very well that the reason for his success is that he knows a lot of good movies in the next nine years. These movies can only be regarded as his capital if he makes them first, and it is not worth wasting these precious hours for the sake of studying. Shaking his head, Shao Shuaijun could only sigh and said, "Professor Wang, thank you for your kindness, I'm afraid not." I've already decided on my filming plans, so I don't have time to attend classes at school. ”
"What's this, Nortel is a very open university, you don't need to go to class step by step, just take time to come to school occasionally to study a thing or two, and don't delay making movies. To be honest, Shao Shuaijun, you are still young now, and you don't need to rush into commercial shooting. Calm down and polish the director's skills, so that you can continue to make good movies. ”
Shao Shuaijun was moved.
There is no need to waste time, as long as you take the time to study, which will not delay him from making movies.
And Wang Hongwei is right, only when the director's skills are practiced can he be truly invincible. His current directing level is self-promoting, not bad. It's just that compared with the director from a professional class, there are many flaws in many details.
The future of cinema is the 3D era, the digital age, and the I-Max era. These are all high-tech, and traditional directing methods cannot make such films.
If you don't learn, you're doomed to fall behind.
Once nine years of foresight is lost, Shao Shuaijun does not dare to guarantee that he can succeed, so it is the best plan to solidify himself and apply what he has learned.
"Professor Wang, I would like to know, does Nortel offer some learning content on pioneering technologies? For example, 3D, digital cinema and i-MAX projection systems? ”
"Not yet, but our school has cooperative relations with many foreign film institutions, and in these high-tech, it is definitely the most advanced in the country."
"Then, I am willing to study at Nortel." Shao Shuaijun agreed, he is not a genius, he can make a good movie if he dreams in vain, and the only way to do it is to learn.
"Haha, okay, you give me a contact information, and I'll go through the enrollment procedures for you." Wang Hongwei is a anxious surname, so he immediately took Shao Shuaijun and the four of them to the director's office. Wang Rui, the head of the department, naturally knew about Shao Shuaijun, and agreed to Shao Shuaijun's admission application without saying a word.
Ordinary people want to enter Nortel, and they can be busy for half a year, but for famous figures, such as big stars and athletes, it is Nortel that begs them to study. Shao Shuaijun is now in this situation, and the school welcomes him to study at Nortel with 12 points of enthusiasm, so as to expand the school's popularity.
