After all, Wang Xiaohu and the three of them didn't see the movie at the back window, not because they didn't want to try this strange way of watching the movie, but just when they were about to go over and line up, several movie theater staff rushed over. [Full text reading]

The people who were still stepping on tiptoe and stretching their necks to watch the movie just now heard the movement and pretended to spread out like birds and beasts, mixed with the screams of someone falling down, but they were all running fast, and in a blink of an eye, there was no one behind the window.

Several staff members smiled wryly and removed the things under the window, complaining about staying behind the window for half an hour.

"Let's go, I see we can't watch a movie today, let's go back to the car and sleep." Zhao Gang said disappointingly

When the three of them returned to Yanjing, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon on September 11, and the reason why it was so late was because they always encountered racing cars along the way, and wherever there was a movie theater in the county, they encountered a long queue of people buying movie tickets, and when they passed through the big city, they also set a record of three hours in traffic jams.

Wang Xiaohu roughly counted, there are not 30,000 or 50,000 moviegoers encountered along the way, if these people all walk into the cinema, then how spectacular the box office is, what Hong Kong, what North American box office can not be compared with China, which has a population of one billion.

This fully shows that the Chinese need movies, eager for movies of the eager psychological state, their ideas blocked by the Cultural Revolution for ten years, finally caught up with the reform and opening up, they can't wait to see if the world outside the country is wonderful.

However, Wang Xiaohu was not dazzled by these vigorous **, although the Chinese people need to watch movies at present, there are still big problems in domestic film institutions, especially the historical problems left over from the Cultural Revolution have caused the bad situation of the Chinese film market for decades.

For example, Chinese filmmakers are easily influenced by the leaders above, and they attribute the films they shoot to national honor, and they never think about how to make movies from the perspective of artistic creation and commercial profits, and even a political process.

Even if there is a movie to watch, due to the increase in the cost of film production in China, movie tickets have risen from a dime in 80 years to fifty or sixty later, and even some blockbusters are more than 100, and the ticket prices are so expensive that the people who are on the road to a well-off life are not enough to buy a movie ticket, let alone go out to watch movies with their families on weekends like Europe and the United States and other countries.

Instead of having the money to watch a movie,It's better to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt to watch TV series at home to pass the time,Anyway, TV doesn't need money.,If you really want to watch a movie, it's not difficult.,Go directly to the Internet and wait for the gun version.,Although the picture is blurry.,But I finally understand the general plot, right?

Therefore, the various shortcomings of Chinese films are not developed in a day and a half, but with the progress and development of the times and the intervention of various political axes, which cannot be cured.

"Rome wasn't built in a day!" Wang Xiaohu sighed helplessly, returned to the hotel where he had often stopped for several years, and lay on the bed after taking a bath.

The release of "Mythology" in China made Wang Xiaohu more satisfied, and he also fulfilled the wish left over from his previous life, so he slept very sweetly, and he didn't wake up until someone knocked on the door of the room.

Wang Xiaohu quickly put on his clothes, and when he saw that it was already dark outside, he thought that Zhao Gang must have come to call him out for dinner, but after opening the door, he was stunned.

"Xiao Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Yimou carried a small basket of apples and bananas in his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you finally opened the door, I have been knocking for most of the day, if you don't open the door, the people in the hotel will have to call the police." ”

"Hehe, come in." Wang Xiaohu said: "Come on, what to bring, this basket of fruits is not five or six cents." ”

If someone else says this, it must be hypocritical politeness, but Zhang Yimou doesn't think so, in the months he has been filming with the crew of "Mythology", he knows that this teacher is a very real person.

Zhang Yimou said: "You are my teacher, how can the students come to see the teacher empty-handed." ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled and walked to the bedside table, picked up the thermos and said softly: "In the future, you will play these polite tricks with me, what to drink?" Tea or lemonade? ”

"No, no, I'm here today to ask the teacher for help, and I'll leave after that."

Zhang Yimou is also a real person, he can't hide his thoughts in his stomach, and he will make his intention clear as soon as he comes up, he is not afraid of Wang Xiaohu's blame, if you talk nonsense for most of the time to explain your intentions, and play with your heart, Teacher Wang may not be willing to agree.

Wang Xiaohu still appreciated Zhang Yimou, a cheap student, nodded and said, "Say it, as long as I can do it, I won't shirk it." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yimou was a little apprehensive in his heart, he rubbed his hands and brewed for more than half a minute before he spoke: "Teacher Wang, the leaders of our college would like to invite you to come over and give us a lecture. ”

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu grew his mouth in surprise when he heard this, what kind of joke did the leader of the China Film Academy let him give them a lesson, he quickly shook his head and said: "You can say anything else, this thing is not reliable." ”

"But you just said," Zhang Yimou was embarrassed when he heard it.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, "You are all college students, I have a low level of education, and I don't have the slightest theoretical foundation, I don't have an axe in front of you high-achieving students." ”

"Teacher Wang, don't say that." Zhang Yimou hurriedly said: "I feel that you are much better than the teacher in our college, let's take the photography scene of the long sword, our teacher only said the shooting technique of the fixed lens, but you divided the fixed lens into large long shots, long shots, medium and long shots, panoramas, medium shots, close shots, and close-ups. ”

"There's also the way to shoot sports shots, which we didn't learn in class." Zhang Yimou felt a little pity after speaking: "If you can popularize extracurricular knowledge for us, I think everyone will welcome it." ”

Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "Xiao Zhang, it's not that your teachers haven't talked about it, but some of the domestic photography equipment is too old, and your teachers have not been in contact with it, these concepts are summarized by insiders in Hong Kong, Hong Kong movies, especially Hong Kong kung fu films, The photography skills are not used to replace the ** action, but to emphasize it, so the lens will zoom in, and the details of the fights between the fighters will be closer." ”

"Actually, to put it bluntly, you are studying theory through theory, and we are summing up experience with experience, just to make better action movies." Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said: "If you ask me to shoot static things with a dynamic effect according to the shooting homework questions assigned by your teacher, I won't be able to do it at all." ”

"Let's take our "Myth" as an example, the Qin army responded to the enemy with an arrow array, and the actions of its army pulling bows and shooting arrows were reflected in a long shot, the team filled the four corners of the picture, and was edited side by side with several similar fixed shots, and there were several camera positions to capture the picture, all to highlight the power and strength of the Qin crossbow, you have personally shot these shots, what do you feel?"

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "There is a sense of oppression under the city, just by looking at the initial formation of this army, you can guess that their combat effectiveness is very strong. After finishing speaking, he felt incomplete, and added: "The realm of that kind of atmosphere rendering is very exciting." ”

"That's it!" Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "This is also the biggest difference between our empiricist and your theoretician. ”

Zhang Yimou bit his lip thoughtfully, absorbing this rare lesson, and after he roughly understood, he still spoke: "Teacher Wang, you should come to our college to give a lecture, otherwise I won't be able to explain when I go back." ”

"Feelings, this is still a political task!" Wang Xiaohu said and laughed: "Okay, I agreed to this, but when you go back, you have to tell your teacher, don't let the students mention some advanced theoretical things, otherwise I will be really embarrassed." ”

"Okay!" Seeing that Wang Xiaohu agreed, Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "We have a total of 145 students, and we have only been in school for less than two years, and our theoretical knowledge is still tender." ”

"Don't say that!" Wang Xiaohu showed a look of not daring to underestimate the enemy and said: "I know that you have a few very good students in the 78th class, such as Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Wu Ziniu, etc. ”

"Teacher Wang, do you know them? They are all from the directing department, and they are not from the same department as me. Zhang Yimou asked in surprise with a star.

Know, how can you not know it, don't say anything else, aren't several of the fifth generation directors of the 78th generation coming out of the Yenching Film Academy? Moreover, they enjoy a noble surplus in the international film industry, because they have freed Chinese films from mere narrative and formed the basic concept that film is the creation of art.

Wang Xiaohu said this in his heart, to be honest, it is also a very good thing to be able to see the legendary fifth-generation directors, and Wang Xiaohu also recognizes their performance, after all, with their unremitting efforts, Chinese films have finally broken the situation of this film dominating Asia.

It's just that these fifth-generation people did not implement their original ideas, and were criticized by the media, and when good foreign films were menacing, they bowed their heads in front of commercial value, and filmed many works that Chinese people did not agree with in order to impact the Oscars.

In fact, they have worked hard, at least they have acted as a pathfinder for Chinese films to the world, although they are still glorious!

"Hehe, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Let's go, come out with me to eat. Wang Xiaohu did not answer Zhang Yimou's question, but tidied up his clothes and pulled Zhang Yimou out to eat.
