Chapter 13: Jia Zhangke

On September 23, 1997, after the return of military training, the Department of Literature and Literature of Beijing Film and Television officially opened.

The classes of the Film Academy, for Wang Qinian, every class is so fresh and surprising, that he is like a sponge, and every class is so serious, which makes many teachers and students secretly think in their hearts: "It is worthy of being the top science student in the college entrance examination, and he is so serious about studying." ”

The reason why I work so hard is not purely for my classmates and teachers.

In fact, Wang Qinian, as a person who has come over, understands very well that to do a line, you must be good at a line!

-- Knowledge and experience are both very important, and they add up to a person's professional quality, which determines the height that can be achieved in an industry.

Experience is accumulated through accumulation, and knowledge is learned through hard work during the time spent in school.

If you don't study hard now, you haven't laid a solid foundation, and when you realize it, you will hate less when the book is used, and it will be too late!

In addition, the special point of the film school is that it is also to attract attention.

Engaged in the film and television culture industry, do not pay attention to low-key, pay attention to high-profile, the more people pay attention to the better! The attention of insiders determines the chance of coming out, and the attention of ordinary audiences determines his worth!

The circle of the entertainment industry is very small, and the film school has attracted the attention of the entire entertainment industry. So much so that a talented and potential person in the film academy may soon spread throughout the entertainment industry and become the focus of people in the circle, but I am afraid that I will not have a chance to come out?

The most feared thing is that the opportunity came, but because of the lack of skills, I didn't grasp it!

plunged into the ocean of film expertise, Wang Qinian was too greedy at first and wanted to learn everything, so he felt that time and energy were simply not enough.

Because, in addition to the courses studied by Wang Qinian, film theory, film history and film criticism, it is also necessary to take and take exams. And the film academy is also a university, and mathematics, Chinese, English, and Ma Zhe, which have nothing to do with the future film and television career, also have to be confused.

In addition, directing, cinematography, art, acting, music, etc., can also be elective.

It can be said that in any department of Beijing Film Film, everyone can systematically learn film knowledge, but different departments have different focuses.

Like Wang Qinian, he was so greedy to study that he wanted to learn almost all the courses of the department, but later, it was unrealistic now, so Wang Qinian began to focus on the courses of the Department of Literature, and the other courses were just a simple concern.

In the past, the Chinese film industry attached great importance to storytelling, so in the early years; In old movies, the plot and story can always be explained, unlike many directors now, who make the plot foggy.

In the past, the literature department and the director in the film school were not separated, and what was cultivated was - choreographer and director! A comprehensive talent who can write and direct both screenwriting and directing!

It is only now that the directing major and the screenwriting major have separated, weakening the screenwriting ability of the directing department and allowing screenwriters to focus more on writing scripts.

But even so, in fact, the Department of Literature can touch the camera every once in a while, and get over the addiction of photography and directing, but there are not as many opportunities as the Department of Directing and the Department of Photography.

It was several times when he came into contact with the camera that Wang Qi began to have the opportunity to understand film from the perspective of director and cinematographer.

Of course, Wang Qinian's Department of Literature, although he can also touch the camera is to experience it, it is impossible to touch the camera all day long, and the real meal still depends on the pen! Wang Qinian believes that he has studied a series of film theories, and the ultimate goal is to be able to create professional and excellent scripts.

Of course, Wang Qinian feels that if he has the opportunity to practice acting and understand movies from the perspective of an actor, even if he goes to be a trick, it is also a better opportunity to practice. It's just that the opportunity to perform has never been obtained!

……

Two weeks have passed, and the November Golden Week is about to be ushered in. On September 3o, Wang Qinian saw a notice posted inside the school, Jia Zhangke, the senior of the 93-level literature department, was recruiting people for the movie "Xiao Wu".

In this regard, Wang Qinian also found it interesting and decided to join in the fun.

"A freshman in the literature department?" Jia Zhangke was a little disappointed, in fact, he hoped that someone from the acting department would come to cheer up. But on the one hand, the qualifications are too good and the price is high, and he can't afford to hire them. crooked melons and cracked dates, he can't look down on them.

Wang Qinian came to apply, Jia Zhangke was originally very happy, thinking that he had a good temperament, but he was from the literature department, can he do it?

"Yes!" Wang Qinian said with a smile.

"Well, you play a part, a policeman, when he catches a thief who has been repeatedly reprimanded, he preaches to him! It's the script and the lines! Jia Zhangke said, handing him a page of lines and script.

Wang Qinian spent five minutes reading the script and memorizing lines. Then, I closed my eyes and thought about it, and I was already confident, at least, the script had been completely memorized.

Next, he brewed his feelings, and shouted at the invisible thief in the air, "Sit down! ”

"Don't move, be honest!" Wang Qinian played the policeman and took out the handcuffs and handcuffed the thief to the chair.

Then, after Wang Qinian searched for the stolen goods and found all the stolen goods, he continued to the thief: "So dishonest, where did this thing come from? ”

Immediately afterwards, Wang Qinian pretended to be a thief and whispered: "Bought it!" ”

"Be honest, be honest and sue me!" Then, Wang Qinian played the role of a police officer again, saw through the thief, packed the stolen goods and the thief's own cash, and said: "You have put all your things here." Put your money on the spot...... Look, 11o dollars, come, you sign! ”

Then, he pretended to be a thief and signed the paper.

After returning to the role of a police officer, he began to preach again: "You kid, you often break the law and discipline!" How many times have I caught it, and I have not changed it! …… But this time, I have to deal with you strictly, and I have to deal with you strictly, think about it! ”

Jia Zhangke saw Wang Qinian's performance and said with a smile: "Yes, the role of the policeman is yours!" Let's talk about the treatment, let's talk about it first, we have very little money, it's not a commercial performance, it's just a work of a real nature! ”

Liang Xiaowu, the male protagonist in the plot, has been circled as the "queen" Wang Hongwei, who is Jia Zhangke's old partner. The other important roles have already been taken care of.

Originally, the policeman in "Xiao Wu" appeared near the end of the plot, and there were not many scenes, but in the plot, it was also quite important, and he was originally going to be an elderly policeman.

But this time, Jia Zhangke decided to let Wang Qinian play, as for the age of the policeman. Modify it a little smaller, and make Wang Qinian in his early thirties, and that's it.

"Treatment? Hehe, just eat and live, in addition, my role should be completed within the 11th Golden Week, and after that, I have to go back to school to study! Wang Qinian said.

"Yes!" Jia Zhangke said after thinking for a moment.

Originally, the budget for "Xiao Wu" was not much, and the filming cycle would not be too long, otherwise, just the rented equipment would not be able to pay the rent.

And Wang Qinian didn't plan to earn a salary by acting in "Xiao Wu" with a budget of 2o yuan, the main purpose was only to earn some experience, and secondly, to show his face in the movie and be familiar.

The face is familiar, and it is also a qualification!

In essence, this is a niche movie, the box office and the like are purely floating clouds, and it is even difficult to release it in China, and its main value is to win awards. Historically, Jia Zhangke became a well-known director, and it also started when the movie "Xiao Wu" later won awards overseas.

In the future, China's film and television industry will be exhibited, and overseas trophies will be more and more ignored. But at this stage, winning an award overseas can still shake the domestic film and television industry and media.
