Chapter 208: The opportunity to direct the camera himself (ask for a monthly pass, ask for comments)
Running until the sun came out, Luo Yang went back to the room to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and energetically took the storyboard script to be filmed today, and came to Chen Yimou's room, Chen Yimou was washing his face at this time, Luo Yang smiled: "Teacher Chen, good morning."
Chen Yimou wrung out the washkerchief in his hand, saw Luo Yang, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll wash my face and go to breakfast together"?
Luo Yang nodded with a smile, waited for Chen Yimou to finish washing, changed into clean clothes, and the two walked towards the canteen together, seeing that Luo Yang was in good spirits and elated today, Chen Yimou naturally knew what was going on, and said with a smile: "Your work over there is done"?
Of course, Luo Yang knew that Chen Yimou was referring to the YY test party, after all, he had told Teacher Chen Yimou about this matter, and said with a smile: "I was busy last night, and it went well, and there will be nothing to do next, I will shift my focus to this side, Teacher Chen, don't worry."
Chen Yimou nodded and said: "Although I have always believed that you must concentrate on everything you do, and distract yourself from doing other things, you will not be able to do one thing at the peak after all, but you have your own ideas, I have also observed your performance during this time, and your learning is not bad, so I don't say much, I hope you know it in your own heart, don't make a mess of things, but don't do anything well"!
Luo Yang knew that Chen Yimou said this for his own good, so he nodded and said, "I know Teacher Chen."
While talking, the two came to the cafeteria, at this time there were already a lot of people in the cafeteria, Luo Yang smiled and nodded hello to the person who greeted him, and then helped Chen Yimou make a breakfast, and then handed it to Chen Yimou, the two found a table to sit down, and at this time there was already a Liang Huiyao sitting next to this table.
"Teacher Liang, good morning", Luo Yang and Liang Huiyao said hello, and Liang Huiyao also smiled and nodded: "You are in good spirits today."
Luo Yang smiled, sat down and started eating, Chen Yimou ate two bites, looked up and asked, "By the way, is today's storyboard ready?"
Luo Yang picked up the script on the table, waved his hand to Chen Yimou, and said, "It's ready."
Chen Yimou nodded and said: "You have learned well in the recent period, everyone has seen it, compared to the previous command of extras who are not very clear about how to be in the camera, the current progress can be said to be good, but theoretical knowledge is always theoretical knowledge, and it is not possible to use it in practice after all, I have also seen the scenes to be filmed today, and they are not particularly important shots, so let's give you a chance to take my place and practice your theoretical knowledge, how about it?"
Hearing Chen Yimou say casually while eating with vegetables, Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, let yourself be a director, practice? That's right, Luo Yang turned his head in surprise, looked at Chen Yimou, and asked, "Teacher Chen, what you said is true"?
"Of course it's true", hearing Luo Yang couldn't believe it, Chen Yimou smiled and said affirmatively: "Actually, I had this idea a few days ago, but I knew that you were busy with other things, so I didn't tell you, since you call me a teacher, follow me to learn to make movies, and you will always have to shoot your own movies in the future, but what you have learned at present is theoretical knowledge, and I estimate that you are still a little troublesome in practical operation. You have to Haode grasp this opportunity today, if you don't shoot well, next time you want to be in charge of the camera, go make your own movie, right?"
Hearing Chen Yimou's words, Luo Yang was overjoyed, it seems that Chen Yimou saw that he had learned well recently, and gave himself a similar assessment, not only to test whether he could live and use the knowledge he had learned, but also to test Luo Yang's on-the-spot command ability, but although it was a test, Luo Yang was still very happy, this is a rare opportunity, originally Luo Yang thought that he wanted to practice the knowledge he had learned during this time, and he would be a director in the future, but he didn't expect Chen Yimou to be able to give himself a chance. It seems that Chen Yimou really treats himself as a student, otherwise how could he give Luo Yang this opportunity.
Therefore, Luo Yang said very gratefully: "Teacher Chen, xiexie, your trust, I will take advantage of this opportunity", Chen Yimou's words implicit Luo Yang also understood, if you shoot well today, you will have a chance in the future, if you don't shoot well, you will honestly study for a period of time, and then practice it when you make movies by yourself in the future, Luo Yang naturally has to grasp such an opportunity, and you can't let Chen Yimou, who trusts him, disappoint Chen Yimou, after all, let yourself be an assistant director, or a newcomer to direct the lens, I believe that Chen Yimou still has a lot of pressure.
Liang Huiyao on the side also heard the conversation between Chen Yimou and Luo Yang, and said to Luo Yang with a smile: "Luo Yang, you have to take advantage of this opportunity, I have known Lao Chen for so many years, with his seriousness about movies, I really haven't seen him give power to others, you are still the first, I hope you don't let him down."
Chen Yimou on the side listened to Liang Huiyao's words, and scolded with a smile: "You have a lot of things, so many meals can't stop your mouth"? After laughing and making a joke with Liang Huiyao, Chen Yimou put down his chopsticks, patted Luo Yang's shoulder, and said seriously: "Luo Yang, with your talent and talent, no matter which way you go, I believe you can go well, I also see this in my eyes, now that you like to make movies, I hope you can take it seriously and don't use it as a tool to make money, because in my eyes, movies are alive, and it is full of the joys, sorrows and sorrows of directors and actors, you have to take it seriously"!
Speaking of this, Chen Yimou sighed and continued: "Although there are the so-called four directors and four pillars in the Chinese film industry now, we are getting older, and we don't know how long we can make movies, but unfortunately there are fewer and fewer outstanding young people in the film industry. It's uncomfortable! Hey, forget it, anyway, I hope that since you like movies, you can do it well, and strive to surpass us old guys, well, since you call me teacher, then continue to call it like this in the future."
Hearing Chen Yimou's serious words, Luo Yang immediately understood what Chen Yimou meant, it seems that Chen Yimou also knows that he is old and ready to start cultivating successors for the film industry, Luo Yang can be sure that some time ago, Chen Yimou's goal was not himself, but Zhuang Jianyang, who created a small-cost and big-box office miracle, but Zhuang Jianyang's character completely disappointed Chen Yimou, zuihou Chen Yimou put his hope on himself, hoping that he could go on step by step and surpass Chen Yimou himself in his achievements in the film industry. This is also the opportunity that Chen Yimou Weishenme will give himself to direct the camera in his film, in order to avoid detours.
Although Luo Yang was still a little uncomfortable that Chen Yimou's first training goal was not himself, Luo Yang quickly suppressed this feeling, because Luo Yang knew that even if he was in Chen Yimou's position and cultivated a successor in the film industry, he would choose a director like Zhuang Jianyang who was a well-established director, rather than a halfway monk like Luo Yang, even if Zhuang Jianyang was driven away, it is estimated that Chen Yimou had not made up his mind to train himself as a successor at that time, fortunately he had a serious learning attitude during this time, and the speed of absorbing knowledge, so that Chen Yimou was very satisfied, and he slowly had this idea, since Chen Yimou said such a thing to himself in his heart, it seems that Chen Yimou has also made up his mind and truly regards himself as his student, instead of the previous vague attitude.
Thinking of this, Luo Yang put down the chopsticks in his hand and said gratefully: "Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean, I will work hard in the future, rest assured, I will not use movies as a tool to collect money", I have to say that Luo Yang did have such an idea before, so that movies would become the source of funds for his business empire, but Chen Yimou's trust and heartfelt reassurance made Luo Yang very moved, since Chen Yimou sincerely regarded himself as a student, he was ready to cultivate himself wholeheartedly, Luo Yang will also report Chen Yimou with his own attitude, that is, to fulfill Chen Yimou's wish and make Chinese films more brilliant, with the support of the entertainment achievement system, Luo Yang believes that this is not a dream, just his own attitude.
Hearing Luo Yang's assurance, Chen Yimou also smiled, patted Luo Yang's shoulder, and said: "Haode, with your words, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, come and ask me at any time, I believe in my vision, you can achieve the goal that we have not reached."
The topic of the two was a little heavy, and Liang Huiyao saw that the two of them were a little silent after saying these words, and he didn't know what to say, so he smiled and said: "Is this touching scene finished, do you want me to prepare a cup of tea and have a formal apprenticeship?"
Liang Huiyao's quipping words immediately enlivened the awkward atmosphere, Luo Yang and Chen Yimou both laughed, neither of them is such an old-fashioned person, just know these things in their hearts, there is no need to engage in so many forms.
ps: After thinking about it, let's give Luo Yang a chance to practice, otherwise he will make a movie after learning some theories, which is too nonsense,
