Just asked for a signature, and was told to refuse to enter the exam room?

Not only He Tianran, but all the candidates in their group were silent, and those unlucky bastards stood still, ashamed and angry.

"What do you think of film school? Airport or square? I'm telling you, this is the exam room! The examination room of the film school! The moment you walk into the school, you have already started the exam, and I hope you can understand that this is the top film school that represents Hong Kong City, China, and even Asia, and we don't need a director who will go out of our academy in the future, and his perspective is looking up. ”

The assistant coach frowned, his mouth was like a bamboo tube pouring beans, crackling and talking about the few people on the other side of him dumbfounded and embarrassed.

When it was over, those unlucky eggplants took the money with a disgraced face and walked out with their heads bowed.

Outside the door of the examination room, the candidates in the same group looked at them and sighed.

"Candidates present, please remember that you are taking the directing department, and you are a director who may command hundreds of people in the crew in the future! It is a director who takes millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie, you are the backbone of a group of people, if you don't have the courage and mind, then I advise you to go home early! ”

He Tianran secretly said to himself, he had long heard that the students of the film school were so arrogant that they couldn't do it, it turned out that this was the school spirit of the school!

This kind of boastful, suspicious of painting cakes, is naturally reasonable, but as soon as the three of them left, there were only seven people left in their group, and it was a good thing for this group of people to have more opportunities to perform, and it was worth listening to the school's admonitions.

There are five teachers presiding over the exam, the youngest looks like they are all forty to fifty, this group of old men looks like they are not angry but mighty, and the assistant teacher who broke out in the thunderous rage can only be regarded as a younger brother in front of them, and when they enter the examination room, they can only sit in the corner to help take notes, and also record the exam video.

Everyone entered the examination room and sat down in turn.

Before entering the examination room, none of the candidates in this group of directors knew what was going to be tested in this interview, and He Tianran heard from the teacher in the training class that once the students he taught were even asked how old they were when they fought when they were young.

What does a fight have to do with the director?

Of course, it has to do with it, when directing the play, the director must analyze what this fight means to the character, and for what kind of psychology, only by experiencing it in person, can he better communicate with the actors, and the footage will be more convincing and infectious.

However, this kind of question is more often asked when introducing oneself, and when everyone has introduced themselves, the next test questions are the most important.

This kind of interview in the directing department does not use the method of asking a single question, but a group discussion of a question.

The scientific nature of this kind of examination lies in the fact that it not only examines the talent and ability of each candidate, but more importantly, it can observe the psychological quality and communication ability of each person, and the verbal and physical control of specific occasions.

As a director, it is very important to have a leadership temperament and lead a crew of hundreds of people towards the same work goal.

An introverted person who lacks passion and is not good at expressing himself may become a poet or a writer, but he will not be a successful director.

Therefore, in such an exam, whether you can stand out from the crowd and become the center of the discussion is the most correct posture for this interview.

In the past, He Tianran obviously did not have such talent.

At this time, the old man with a goatee, who was sitting in the middle of the examiner's seat, said simply: "Let's start, introduce yourself first." ”

He picked up the hot tea on the table and blew it, then took a sip.

The old man didn't say who to start with, the candidates all looked at each other left and right, and a candidate who was sitting in the middle and facing the old man was the first to get up and seize the opportunity to be introduced.

Introduce yourself to this kind of thing, no matter how well you introduce it, there will be no gimmicks, and the teachers in the directing department will not admit you because of your name or where you come from.

What they want is the examination of sensibility and life cognitive ability, they want to have their own unique, personal life experience, if the self-introduction is similar to everyone's life, and they study crazy in the classroom every day, then they basically have no chance with the directing department.

He Tianran understood this, so he thought about it when he introduced himself to the previous few people, and when it was his turn, he calmly introduced that he was born in a wealthy family, but because of his parents' relationship, he created his introverted personality, but because of some things that happened half a year ago, he has a new self now, in order not to embark on the path laid by his father for himself, he has cut off contact with his family, and now, he is working alone in a bar to support himself, which is considered a part-time job and study.

In addition to concealing the September incident and his father's identity, he said the rest of the things very directly, and this experience happened at his age, which is indeed rare, and during the period, the teacher also asked him about the daily situation of the bar where he worked, and He Tianran answered fluently, which also corroborated his statement very well.

The examiners liked his self-introduction very much, mainly because he grasped the key points of a wealthy family, family discord, and part-time work and study, and the source of all this pointed to a change in his personality.

This is the growth of life, and it is something that every director will shoot and care about in the future.

"You said that your personality changed, but you refused to say how it changed, classmate He, you can't be a story made up and deliberately deceive us, right?"

The old man with the goatee deliberately provoked He Tianran's nerves.

"Isn't the essence of a director a storyteller? If I made it up on the spot, the teachers should give me extra points~"

He Tianran borrowed his strength and made a joke with a smile, he also knew that on this occasion, it was enough to joke until the end, and it couldn't be too much, so he added:

"Just kidding, teachers. This is my real experience, please forgive me for not saying it, because it is a precious memory of mine, and I am not going to share it, but what I just said, my bar owner, my classmates, and even my homeroom teacher can prove for me that what I said is true. ”

He said it in a straight voice, without a single bit of timidity, and several examiners exchanged glances.

If someone else stood in this examination room and was asked by the old man with a goatee, how could there be anything hidden and tucked, and he quickly said that maybe he could add points!

But this kid didn't, but he also gaged, and at the end it aroused the curiosity of the examiners and made them fall in love with this kid.

Although He Tianran pretended not to squint, he still clearly felt the strangeness in the eyes of the other candidates when they looked at him.

The examiner present was also an old and serious person, and his face did not reveal too much information, and after everyone introduced themselves, the assistant teacher turned on the stereo in the examination room.

"Next is the first question of the second test, there is a piece of music here, everyone listens carefully first, and talks about their opinions."

Plugging your phone into the prepared external speaker, a very flamenco tune suddenly appears, with dense drums and virtuosic guitar playing, easily reminiscent of a dancing gypsy girl, preferably with red hair and a plump white breast, and then after singing and dancing, she rolls into the arms of the rude sailors, laughing and drinking that inferior vodka.

The candidates began to express their opinions again, commenting on the music in an attempt to make up for the lost scores.

A female teacher said, "Tell me about this piece of music, what kind of picture is suitable for it." ”

"Of course, it's the kind of clip when you're in love."

"Agreed, the kind of love at first sight in road movies where the relationship between the male and female protagonists heats up instantly, which is very suitable at this time."

"The action movie is also good, with fast-paced editing, stepping on the music point, clean and neat."

The candidates expressed their opinions, and some of them made a fuss about arguing about what seemed to be the same point of view.

"'Guitar on Fire', a passionate song, flamenco style is romantic and passionate, but romance doesn't necessarily mean love."

He Tianran said lightly: "The word 'flamenco' means 'wanderer' in Arabic, so I agree with the idea of a road movie said by a classmate before, but it should not be limited to love, because the word 'wandering' itself has a bit of a romantic color." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone looked at him, He Tianran not only said the name of the song, but also said the meaning of the song, only to see him rubbing his chin and said slowly:

"If I were the director, I might use this piece to express one's contemplation......"

The candidate who was confined to "love" by He Tianran sneered: "No, what's so romantic about contemplation? ”

He Tianran pointed to his head:

"Contemplation, you can sit in front of the computer and code words, or you can solve a world problem in the laboratory, the protagonist will go very smoothly, because as soon as this song sounds, the audience can know the infinite inspiration that bursts out of his brain, the stirring of thoughts, is to create a sense of expectation for the audience to follow, how to write the article, how to solve the problem, this is a fantasy romance."

"It is also suitable for soft sci-fi, similar to "Cowboy Bebop", where the airship sails in the sea of stars, and when facing the endless unknown, it shows not fear, but passion and excitement, the sea of stars, and the romance of men."

He shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically, "Classmate, do you dare to say that these are not romantic?" Don't you have a sense of picture? ”

He Tianran's two sentences, the former is a dynamic and static presentation, the boy breaks the stereotype and uses human hearing to transmit information; The latter is to enhance the visual field of view to strengthen the audience's mood, reasonably mobilize the atmosphere, and rely on emotions to reduce the sense of alienation brought by the space of onlookers.

No matter which one it is, it proves that He Tianran at this time already has considerable film thinking and artistic thinking, which is a very clever means.

The candidate who tried to argue with him was hesitant for a long time, and finally he didn't think of how to refute He Tianran's words.

"Student He, do you know this song?" The female teacher asked with a smile.

The boy nodded: "I know, Alex Fox who plays this piece is the only flamenco master in my heart, I can't hide it, I can still play it, I can play a lot of strings when I first practiced this piece, but unfortunately I didn't bring a guitar today, otherwise I will show you both hands." ”

The female teacher looked at He Tianran and nodded with satisfaction.

The old man with the goatee asked at this time: "Young man, how many relationships did you have in last year?" ”

"Two ...... Two paragraphs. ”

He Tianran's mouth didn't stop the car for a while, and the corners of several invigilators hooked the corners of their mouths slightly.

As He Tianran's "romantic theory" spoke, the rest of the people lost their meaning even if they discussed it again.

If the first question of music is to test students' associative ability, then the second question of video is to test the basic skills of the director, first put a video, about more than 100 shots, and then let the students watch it, and then let everyone start to memorize the shots one by one.

When reciting, in addition to saying what is narrated in each shot, you should also say the scene and the length of the shot.

As soon as the image is finished, everyone rushes to memorize it first, no one is stupid, memory is such a thing, the longer it drags on, the more it is forgotten, or the person who memorizes it first takes advantage.

Due to the very fragmented footage of the film, the fast pace, and the memorization of scenes and content, no one present can say the specific number of shots for the time being.

So far, the number of shots reported by some candidates is 243, which is relatively close, and he can fully retell 23 shots, which is a very good result.

Only He Tianran didn't have his back, and the boy closed his eyes, crossed the bracelet in his hand, and didn't make a sound.

Some gloating laughter sounded softly among the candidates, and everyone thought that he had probably been separated for too long and had forgotten all about it.

Who made him so showy just now, everyone has jealousy.

At this time, still make bracelets?

What's the trouble?

And when the old man with the goatee saw He Tianran playing with the bracelet, his eyes were a little wrong, and he said in a low voice:

"Settled?"

He Tianran nodded: "Count the teacher, there are a total of 287 shots." ”

The old man with the goatee squinted and smiled, "Correct." ”

The candidates were in an uproar, and anyone could count the shots, but the trouble was that either the film was too long, and one or two would be missed if they were counted, or it was like this film, the pace was extremely fast, and they couldn't be counted.

How did he manage to keep a single slip away?

The old man with the goatee glanced at the candidates, and said, "I don't know that others are cheating in front of you, and there is still time to gloat there, you should reflect on it." ”

He Tianran stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and twisted his hand twice in front of everyone, putting it back on his wrist.

The rosary was originally a portable tool used by monks to keep counts.

Of course, He Tianran has practiced the basic skill of counting shots, but his habit is to count with rosaries while watching, otherwise how did the glossy glass-bottom pulp come about?

"You can't score."

The old man with the goatee smiled.

It can be seen that the old man is in a good mood when he faces He Tianran, this question can be big or small, after all, this question focuses on the content of the shot, and He Tianran, who was arrested, has nothing to say.

But because He Tianran only needed to remember the number of circles of the rosary instead of the total number of shots, he paid more attention to the content of the shot, and he began to recite them one by one according to his memory:

"The first shot, starting from the pupil of the human eye, is a large close-up, half a second."

“……”

"The thirty-eighth shot, the panorama on the prairie, this is the longest shot in the whole film, about five seconds."

In the end, when He Tianran memorized the fortieth shot, he finally made a mistake, and the female teacher interrupted him.

"It's okay, thirty-nine, it's very good, and some seniors may not be able to memorize so much."

Several of her colleagues nodded in agreement, and the old man with the goatee also announced:

"Okay, everyone's re-examination of the director department has ended, pay attention to the school's official website on the day of the list, and the students who were on the list that day remember to bring their ID cards and the admission ticket for the second test to go through the procedures for the next exam, that's it today, go back and wait for the news."

The candidates stood up from their chairs and bowed slightly, and after an exam, the examiners' expressions were much kinder, smiling at everyone, but as long as they were sharp-eyed, they would find a detail, that is, the eyes of this group of teachers, and in the end, they would always fall on the same person.

In the past, He Tianran did not have the talent to be noticed.

But now he has become the center of the crowd.
