Chapter 4: Nortel
"Time is something that catches people off guard, when it is sunny, when it is windy and sometimes when it rains, it makes people fight for the day and night but think about the past~"
Chu Xuan rode a bicycle, all the way through the streets and alleys of the capital, humming a brisk song, enjoying the beauty of this passing by.
Soon, he came to the door of Nortel, and then walked straight to the office of the head of the department, looking a little familiar.
"Knock knock."
After the knock on the door, after a warm voice came from inside the house, Chu Xuan stepped in.
"Director, long time no see, I'm here to hand in my homework after graduation, can you judge me?"
Wang Rui, with this black-framed glasses, has a somewhat similar face to Wang Shuo, has been teaching at Nortel since 91, and will also shoot outside, but basically take over the shooting with tasks, and belong to a very stable sixth-generation director, so to speak, he can win the Huabiao Award.
"Oh? You are... Chu Xuan. ”
Wang Rui was stunned for a few seconds before sighing,
"I used to have long hair, I thought you were a dead boy, but I didn't expect that after shaving your head, it was quite a jade tree in the wind, not bad."
"The director praised it falsely, but it's just a skin, it's not worth mentioning, I want people to see my inner thoughts."
Wang Rui looked at Chu Xuan's humble and arrogant appearance and laughed, "Well said, the young man is ambitious, since this is the case, I'll take a look at the book first." ”
Chu Xuan handed over a stack of manuscripts, all handwritten, about 40 pages, and the changes were basically completed during this time, and then he sat aside and waited quietly.
Then Wang Rui flipped through the script, and his eyes gradually condensed, whether as a teacher or an experienced director, he has read not thousands of books, but also eight hundred, so there are few that shocked him, relatively speaking, he pays more attention to the shortcomings, in short, pays attention to details and picks a few thorns.
But as time passed, the more Wang Rui looked at it, the more comfortable he felt inside, and only after half an hour did he put down the notebook with a smile, and then said with relief:
"It's very good.,It's really good to be able to write this kind of book that expresses warmth at your age.,And it's relatively complete.,I haven't learned in vain in the past few years.,Of course,Our teachers teach it well.,It's worthy of our Nortel out.,I'm relieved."
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded: "It's good that the director is satisfied, I was thinking about filming him, so I came to my alma mater for help." ”
Wang Rui thought for a while and responded:
"It seems that you are going to guide yourself, it's not impossible, after all, you have also graduated, and you will eventually feel shallow in school on paper, and you must do it without knowing it!"
Chu Xuan hurriedly agreed: "Yes, director, that's what I think, I've calculated, the investment is about 4 million, except for a few key actors, other expenses are not high, I found Ning Hao as the executive director, and the producer I thought about inviting a teacher from our school to serve as a part-time teacher, but now it's probably only about funds." ”
Wang Rui did not pretend to be a gesture, and said directly:
"In this way, you go back and wait for a few days, I'll help you contact a few companies first, rest assured, I've cooperated, although you still lack experience, but it's not difficult for this book to follow the script, and it can also test what you've learned well, and the school can also help with shooting equipment and other aspects, and you can prepare the rest first."
"Eh, thank you, director, I will polish and polish it well after I go back, and I will never let you down or disgrace the school."
Chu Xuan also completely relieved his mood, the rest depends on Wang Rui's face, he really can't reach this aspect of network resources at present, originally he still thought that if this line didn't work,
He had to seek help from a Bai Fumei, after all, she was notoriously helpful in terms of money, but the timeline was still a little early, after all, she was not yet 17 years old at this time, so she was a bit of a bad uncle in a hurry.
Wang Rui laughed: "Don't worry, if you mess up, it's just you who will lose face, unless the school's doctor messes up, it's almost the same, but it's impossible, and you don't have to be too affected by the box office, if the film is filmed well, the reputation is not bad, it is not a failure, so don't be afraid!" ”
Chu Xuan was stunned, and suddenly remembered a film, known as "Dream Showbiz", which is known as the lowest-rated Douban in history, seems to be made by a certain doctor, and I don't know if it is Nortel...
"The students are still confident, it just so happens that the director I have a few questions I still want to ask, is it convenient for you?"
Wang Rui agreed, and then ignored Chu Xuan's question and said directly:
"Although I have studied more deeply in theory, sometimes I don't need to shoot, as long as you don't want to become a scholar-type director, you don't need to go too deep, the most important thing is to cultivate an intuition, a sense of lens engraved in your bones, when you are hesitant or can't tell, your intuition is the most accurate."
Chu Xuan nodded, this statement is very correct and reasonable, but as he understands more, he understands that the greater benefit of this is to save money...
After all, in the eighties and nineties, the filming in the mainland was like now, the actors were not valuable, on the contrary, the film was really expensive, of course, it is still film shooting, but basically the ratio has reached 8-15 to 1 configuration, and it was basically 3 to 1 before, how can there be the capital of director Huo Huo.
If the King of Sunglasses is not from Xiangjiang, I'm afraid he will drown if he is released from the mainland...
"The most important thing in your film is the expression of emotions, so I'll tell you about it in detail..."
Chu Xuan continued to nod, and then took a pen and paper to record, he has his own ideas, he doesn't have to completely follow Wang Rui's words, but he can refer to it, it's a good thing to learn from each other's strengths, he won't let himself go like a poet and director.
So, time passed again, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.
"Thanks to the teacher's teachings, when the students are gone, I will find opportunities to come often."
Wang Rui took a sip of the wolfberry water in the thermos cup and scolded with a smile:
"Little slippery head, others have to pay for listening to me give a small class, and you'll be like that..."
"White prostitute."
Chu Xuan blurted out.
Wang Rui was stunned for a moment, and then reprimanded:
"Uh... Thou word, tready! How can a cultural person be described like that? Don't say it next time! ”
Chu Xuan understood that this was not the afterlife, and his mind quickly turned around and explained:
"Well, the student often communicates with Ning Hao during this time, and he remembers it after listening to him a lot, he said that this is a joke, and he didn't pay attention to it all of a sudden..."
"Bad heart! Next time you bring him over, don't think I won't be able to control you when you leave the school. ”
Chu Xuan hurriedly agreed, and said secretly in his heart: Oh Mida Buddha, good and good.
"Okay, I'm relieved of your attitude, you have been the most sincere in learning in the past few years, but you are also out of school, and some things will be contacted, as a teacher, I will give you a last word."
Wang Rui looked at the young man in front of him, with a sunny and handsome atmosphere, and suddenly remembered that when his hair was luxuriant, it was also like this, when he was determined by the unit for the first time, he was really excited at that time, but unfortunately time is gone, but fortunately, this time a generation of new people for the old people.
"Speak, Director, students."
Chu Xuan listened carefully.
Wang Rui said solemnly:
"Industry is good at diligence and frolic, action is in thinking, and destruction is in spoiling."
