Chapter 203: Digging Your Own Grave
Of course, he knew that Ying Ruyi's professional level was far above him, although there were always some gossips in the school, saying that Ying Ru was just a bastard in their team, but Bai Wenyuan, as the person concerned, of course knew that these gossips were some jealous words.
In fact, after the film was made, he was a little apprehensive, and he wanted to take the 40-minute micro-film to the competition, so he wanted to ask Ying yes' opinion.
After he listened to Ying yes's affirmation, a big stone in his heart finally let go.
The second day of the school celebration is the war that cannot see the smoke of gunpowder, everything is because of Patrick, I should listen to Bai Wenyuan say that originally because there will be many business giants and well-known alumni on the first day of the school celebration, so the first day was set to be a graduate screening, but later because of Patrick's itinerary, the school changed the time of the graduation screening and the sophomore micro-film screening.
To be honest, Ying Ru herself was also a little nervous, she pursed her lips, looked at the host on the stage and introduced the guests with a smile, she raised her eyes and looked around, Patrick has not come yet, but I don't know when he will come, so everyone present is a little nervous.
At this moment, she saw a very delicate-looking senior sister glaring at herself, there was contempt in her eyes, Ying Ru couldn't help frowning, thinking in her mind, after a while, she finally remembered that the senior sister seemed to be named Cao Yu, Lu Sihao's girlfriend, she and Cao Yu had no intersection, but she often saw her in Lu Sihao's films, so she can be regarded as a familiar face, Cao Yu's acting skills are also very good, at least compared to her peers, it is very outstanding.
Thinking of this, Ying Ru raised the corners of his lips and smiled at Cao Yu, Cao Yu was stunned, turned his face away, and whispered something to Lu Sihao, Lu Sihao looked up at Ying Ru and showed a contemptuous smile.
Ying Ru chuckled, it seemed that he had become a thorn in the side of some people, although he didn't know where he had offended him.
She leaned on the back of the chair, quietly watching the movies on the big screen, to be honest, seeing now, she felt that every movie had its own characteristics, which made her sigh, sure enough, the senior year and the sophomore year are different, two more years of study, two more years of practical operation, it is really not the same.
At this time, she heard the host smile and said: "The next movie to be played, called "Going Home", is directed by Lu Sihao, a student from his senior year. ”
For a while, there were some low voices in the theater, to be honest, everyone who has been training in the director major for four years in the Imperial Capital Film Academy has won awards to a greater or lesser extent, for example, among their graduation requirements, one of them must win a national award at least the third prize, otherwise, a bachelor's degree certificate will not be issued, and Lu Sihao is a particularly outstanding student in the fourth year.
Ying Ru sat up straight and quietly watched the movie on the big screen.
The movie directed by Lu Sihao this time, the story is about the demolition money, because he wants to share more of the demolition money, Uncle Han wants to persuade his neighbor Mrs. Dong to "fake marriage" with him, which means that he can get a gold card for a nursing home with this extra amount of demolition money, but Uncle Han's daughter-in-law wants to use the demolition money to replace her daughter with a school district house, in order to prevent Uncle Han from fake marriage, she stole Uncle Han's household registration book. Sister Yun, the nanny who has been taking care of Mrs. Dong on weekdays, was suddenly told that her younger brother was hit by a car in his hometown and urgently needed 100,000 yuan for surgery......
She found that compared with the previous movies, every character in this story has a strong sense of purpose, and these purposes for themselves and others constitute and trigger various contradictions and conflicts in life, so an absurd farce is slowly staged in the Fang Zi where Uncle Han is about to be demolished.
This movie shows the life and emotional changes of the people in the contemporary city of Magic City around a series of issues such as demolition money, pension, school district housing, etc., and is different from the portrayal of the "international metropolis Magic Capital" in general film and television dramas, Lu Sihao abandons the high-rise buildings of the Magic City, abandons the "Magic Capital of the World", and is completely small. And what surprised Ying Ru was that Lu Sihao's delicate handling of the camera level in this movie accurately captured the humid air of the small alleys of the magic capital, the streets full of plane trees, and the daily life of the people next door and other elements of the magic capital, all of which are intertwined in everything, quietly fermenting in the rainy season, and cooperating with the plot also makes people faintly feel the fragility of human nature.
When the last shot of the movie fell into the black curtain and the subtitles slowly rose, the entire theater fell into silence, and then, I don't know who took the lead, took the lead in applauding, and soon, the applause resounded throughout the theater, and even the host came to the stage to speak, but had to smile and wait for the applause to stop.
"This is the best movie I've seen so far!"
"The photography is so delicate! The shots and editing are also very restrained, and I feel that the director makes good use of the scheduling outside the frame, which is really a very good movie! ”
After every movie screening, the host will select people on the scene to ask how they feel, this time is of course no exception, she should smile and listen to the feelings of other people, in fact, the shock in her heart is also very great, this movie is really excellent, to be honest, she is a little weak now, I feel that with this pearl in front, I am afraid that I am really not good.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, two more years is different, and I hope that when I am in my senior year, I can make such an excellent movie.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the host ask herself, "Hey, is this what this should be?" I don't know what you think of this movie? ”
Ying Ru listened to the host's words and said with a smile: "As others said, the director's scheduling of the film is concise and clear, and I think the director must have his own insistence on such an expression, after all, in the current film environment, such a story that is exceptionally first and without fierce conflict is filmed." 'Neorealism' is a thankless task, and I think most commercial operations will choose absurd black humor to interpret first, so I admire the director's persistence, and I hope he can persist and bring us more excellent films. ”
Ying Ruye's words were very comprehensive, but when Lu Sihao heard this, his face turned cold all of a sudden, and even Cao Yu, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and glanced at Ying Ru is coldly.
What's going on? It's not good to say good things yourself? Ying Ru was helpless in her heart, and was about to sit down, but she heard Lu Sihao stand up and speak directly to her.
"Sister Ying." Lu Sihao's face is not good-looking, "In your opinion, is it more important to be commercial or to pursue artistry in a movie?" ”
Ying Ru smiled slightly: "I think the two complement each other, and it depends on the positioning of the movie, if a film is positioned as a pure commercial, but pursues artistry, isn't it a bit reversed?" ”
"Really?" Lu Sihao showed a hint of contempt on his face, "So in your opinion, we directors should cater to the audience, right?" ”
"Not exactly." Ying smiled and said, "But we really should take the audience into account." ”
Lu Sihao listened to her words and sneered: "So, it is precisely with the existence of people like you who blindly cater to the audience in the industry that there will be a large number of bad movies produced now, Ying Xuemei, if you want to go further on this road, I still hope you can abandon this idea, otherwise you will just dig your own grave." ”
