Chapter 169: School Festival (Middle)

For twenty minutes, four strange-looking people walked around the campus.

Kei Fujiwara's face was covered with special effects makeup, smeared with blood plasma, and skin wax, dressed as a zombie, and Inoue Mori was transformed into an elf.

However, walking around the campus with this appearance, it was not strange at all, surrounded by all kinds of samurai, ronin, and people in leather suits, and there was no conspicuousness at all.

And after putting on makeup, Inoue Mori again, sure enough, no one asked for a group photo anymore.

Shinyo Ogata asked, "Which part of the group would Mori want to visit?"

Inoue Mori thought about it again and said, "Comic Department."

"Do you want a portrait of the scene? It's very popular, but it can take a long time."

"Are you going?" Kei Fujiwara looked down at Inoue Morimata.

Inoue Mori nodded again.

The group waited in line for a long time and went to sketch. After that, I went to see the performances of the magic club and the light music club, and Nanako Toshida said, "Fujiwara-sensei, we're going to the theater to see the independent film works of the seniors, are you going?"

"Independent Cinema ......" Kei Fujiwara carefully recalled it in his mind and remembered it.

Student-directed filming,It refers to the film work directed and produced by the students themselves.,After the production is completed, it will be played on a loop in the campus theater on the day of the school festival.。

Some of these films are just young student works, but some of them also carry greater ambitions, and they are only test screenings in campus theaters, and if the effect is good, the next one is an art theater, and it is not impossible to screen them nationwide after making a name for themselves in the circle of theater owners.

Of course, this is only the ideal situation. It's something that exists in theory and barely happens in reality.

The production funds of the students' works are all self-financed, and it is very expensive to shoot a movie, so the production of their works is relatively rough, and they cannot compete with the commercial films of big production companies on the same stage.

Therefore, most of the students' works are very short films, some within ten minutes, and some are only half an hour. If you want to ensure the quality of the picture, the longer it takes, the more money you burn.

Most of these works cannot be directly monetized, and for the creators of the films, the only value of these films is to prove their abilities, and it will be more convenient to apply for jobs in the future.

Of course, there are special cases. For example, if the film is seen by people within the industry because of a certain opportunity, and appreciating the story and the director's personal ability, it will be uploaded to the communication activities within the film and television industry, and if the response is good, it may be recommended to the distribution company to participate in the war, or get the investment to continue production and release.

Dongyi is also a famous art school, and there will be several talented film and television people every year, and Fujiwara Kei suddenly became interested.

Kei Fujiwara wanted to go a little, but he also thought that this kind of movie viewing party inside the campus, and the movie shown might not be very suitable for the interests of children like Inoue Morimata, so he hesitated for a while.

At this time, Inoue Mori tugged at Kei Fujiwara's sleeve again and said, "Mr. Fujiwara, I want to go and see."

"Aren't you going to a comic book exhibition?"

Inoue Mori has just been saying that he wants to go to the manga exhibition.

"It's okay, it'll be fine later." Inoue Mori said again.

Kei Fujiwara touched Inoue's little head and said, "Miss Tokada, let's go."

When Kei Fujiwara arrived at the campus theater, he saw a table outside the entrance of the theater, and a man with curly hair and a somewhat old look was leaning back in his chair and reading a magazine.

A blank piece of paper was pasted on the wall behind it, revealing two words: Screening Exhibition.

As soon as Kei Fujiwara and his party were about to walk in, the student raised his eyes and said, "The ticket is 400 yen per person."

Nanako Toshida was stunned: "When will it become four hundred?"

"This year, we started charging fees, the space is limited, and there are too many people participating."

The activities in the school festival are all run by students.,The fees are normal.,Fujiwara Kei took out his wallet: "I'll come, four people.。

"Hmm...... One Thousand Sixteen ...... Wait." The curly-haired man suddenly opened his eyes

Big eyes pointed at Inoue Mori again, "How old is she?"

"Thirteen, what's wrong?" Kei Fujiwara asked curiously.

"You're a ...... Children under the age of 18 are not allowed to enter!"

"Why?" Tokada was puzzled.

The curly-haired man stood up at this time, revealing the piece of paper behind him, and it was only then that Fujiwara Kei and the others finally saw all six words on the paper: adult film exhibition

"I'm going to eat prison if I let her in, man, my country's law doesn't limit the number, but the age is limited, I advise you to do it yourself."

Nanako Tokada suddenly blushed half of her face: "You...... How can you put such a thing in a school?"

"Why not? It's a legitimate property." The curly-haired man said disapprovingly, "Did you know that adult films saved the local film industry twenty years ago? At a time when the movie studio model fell apart, who held high the banner of Nissan Films? This is the great culture of this book!"

Fujiwara Kei reluctantly stuffed the money back into his wallet and asked, "Classmate, we are going to see the display of the students' films, where is it?"

"Get out, turn left, go straight for fifty meters." The curly-haired man yawned.

"I'm going to report to the Discipline Department!" Walking on the road, Toshida said with some indignation.

When I finally arrived at the student theater and the place where the independent film was played, everyone walked in, and there was also a ticket here, which cost 300 yen per person.

After paying the ticket money, everyone will get a red ping pong ball.

After finding a place to sit side by side, the host began to announce the curtain, and the name of the film and the main creator would be mentioned before each film was screened.

After the screening, the creators will take the stage to talk about their film ideas and sources of inspiration.

Most of these student works are a single person who wears multiple hats, the director, screenwriter, and cameraman may be the same person, and even the actors in some films are themselves.

There are many boxes at the entrance of the theater, each box will have the name of a film written on it, after watching all the movies, which movie you like will be put into the box of that film, and then the audience will vote to put the table tennis ball into the box of the favorite movie.

In the end, the director of the film with the most votes will receive 30% of the ticket revenue of the movie as the shooting fund for his next film.

The films began to be screened one by one, most of them were ten minutes long, and occasionally thirty minutes long, and at that moment the host announced, "I would like to invite Tetsuya Iwai, a student from the first class of the Graduate School of Video Screening, to play his work "Lucky"."

Whistles and applause suddenly sounded in the audience, and the audience was already excited before the movie was played.

Tetsuya Iwai...... The name was somewhat familiar, and Fujiwara squinted his eyes as he recalled. Sure enough, in the memory of the original owner, Tetsu Iwai is also a very famous figure.

They were contemporaneous, but when they were in school, Kei Fujiwara was unknown, and Tetsuya Iwai was a well-known talent, and his works were often played in front of them by teachers as excellent assignments.

When he was a sophomore, he began to participate in the PEER Film Festival, although he has never won the award, and he is always a chess player, but his works are also very favorable. There are even production companies willing to invest in his films.

However, Tetsuya Iwai didn't agree because he disliked the small scale of the production company and the fact that it started by making adult films.

What will his film be like this time? Kei Fujiwara also began to be curious.
