Chapter 61: Xu Haofeng's directing class
Li Jingkun said: "Actually, my view of the film is staged. For a while, I thought that a good movie would be a good movie if it tells a story that is logical, has a beginning and an end, and is interesting. ”
Xu Haofeng said: "It's a very simple and clear view, a good movie is a good movie that can tell a good story." ”
"Yes, because I think there are a lot of bad movies, a lot of bad movies, it can't even tell a basic story, it can't tell a good story, so how can it be considered a good movie. So at that time, I firmly believed that the most basic and important thing to make a good movie was to tell the story first, and then talk about the rest. ”
Xu Haofeng nodded: "Continue." ”
"But there are some films that have changed my opinion, that is, a good movie doesn't have to tell a complete story, or it doesn't necessarily have to tell a very interesting or moving story, it can have other ways to express it.
For example, "Jurassic Park", it is a movie made in the 90s, what kind of story does it tell? In fact, it is not very complicated and moving, it is that someone resurrected the dinosaur, and then because the dinosaur fled in all directions, it caused some riots and so on.
This kind of movie you forget the specific content after watching it, and there is not much story at all, but you will find it very good.
Because the special effects inside are so powerful, these dinosaurs are too realistic. So when this movie appeared, everyone was shocked, and many people who watched it thought that the dinosaurs in it were real.
Similarly, there is "Transformers", and the main selling point is also special effects. Attract the audience with realistic special effects and huge scenes, so this category is also a good movie.
So if you expand it this way, there are actually many ways to express a good movie, which requires the creator to find and give full play to the advantages of this technique, so as to make it a good film. ”
Xu Haofeng thought for a moment and said, "So these are all opinions on commercial films?" ”
Li Jingkun said: "Actually, I don't have a commercial film or a literary film, or I think that most audiences don't really care whether it's a commercial film or a literary film; What they care about is whether it's a good movie. Is it entertaining, can it make me happy to watch, and it is refreshing to watch.
If a literary film is filmed, it is very moving, very interesting, the story is not dull, and it is ideological and soulful. We don't mind admiring it. ”
Xu Haofeng nodded.
Li Jingkun continued: "But many creators who make literary films misunderstand the characteristics of literary films, thinking that literary films are dull, depressing, humane, uncomfortable, painful, etc., so they rely on this side.
As a result, many domestic audiences don't want to watch it as soon as they see the title of a literary film. After the box office is not good, it is said that our audience is impetuous and has no ability to appreciate thoughtful movies. In fact, there is a high probability that the movie was made badly. ”
Xu Haofeng smiled, and some of his classmates were also happy. But he said enough. Xu Haofeng also had a general idea of his views on good movies, so he began to summarize his statements.
"It's a good story, so your opinion is that movies can be thoughtful, but they must also be well told and watched by most people. There can be many ways to express it. It can be based on interesting stories, special effects, brain holes, lines, etc., provided that it needs to be told well. ”
"To sum it up, it's really content." Li Jingkun said, "Interesting content, no matter what kind of way. ”
Xu Haofeng nodded, then asked him to sit down, and finally said: "I watched an episode of your short drama, and it was filmed well." Is there still a copy? Give me one if you have one. ”
"Also, but I didn't bring it with me."
At present, he has made a total of 2 copies, one for Su Zhijun, and the other is ready to be shown to Luo Pang. But if Xu Haofeng wants it, he can also get another one.
"Get me one tomorrow."
"Okay."
Today's class still caused a lot of topics, and when Li Jingkun stood up and talked eloquently at the beginning, many people were impressed by him. Unexpectedly, he was praised by Xu Haofeng later, and asked him to watch the film.
Many people want to know how this person who can beep is like the film he made.
As a result, a few other students in the class were going to attend the premiere, and Fang Weida, who fell out with them, was certainly not so cheeky. Although Yang Hailong was also curious, he still resisted the urge to participate in them.
More than a dozen people came that night, and of course there were not enough chairs, so I bought some chairs by the way when I was shopping for snacks.
Cai Wenwen brought three girls with her and enjoyed the treatment of the stars holding the moon.
The other female characters in the crew are not from this school, and there is no need to invite them, so fortunately, she brought her friends with her, otherwise she would feel embarrassed if she was the only girl, right?
"Real people look handsome, too."
"Yes, it's more than enough for us Wenwen."
", are you going to complain about me? You can't stop your mouth if you have something to eat! ”
There were a lot of people, and it was a bit crowded and noisy, but everyone liked the atmosphere. It's very relaxing.
Everyone is young and has infinite possibilities; Life is not bad, I go to a prestigious school, and the future is also worth looking forward to, so it's good to talk and laugh.
"The story is okay, but you have to shoot for about 12 minutes, so you don't have too much narration, right? still has to rely on the performances of the actors to advance the story. Wang Yang was discussing another project with others.
"I'm afraid I won't understand, and a few more narrations shouldn't affect me, right?" This is another classmate in the directing department.
"It also depends on how you use it, if you want to explain the plot by narration, you can't."
After a while, Li Jingkun, Guo Junli and other boys came up with some more things: two cases of beer, chicken feet, squid, peanuts and other food.
It's a little party.
Hey, it's been a long time since I've been like this, he used to hold similar events in high school, and it's rare since college.
"Temperance, seeing that the atmosphere is so good, let's have a little wine to celebrate and relax, but don't drink too much." Li Jingkun said.
"It's not much, it's not too much for so many of us to drink two cases."
There are always good deeds to coax, and there are still beautiful women, who always have to show their pride.
But this is all normal male psychology, of course Li Jingkun won't mind, and asked everyone to pour wine, everyone toast first.
"Let me emphasize, don't discourage alcohol, we just drink something to make a concoction, don't force what you don't want to drink or can't drink - what do lesbians say? Would you like a drink? ”
Cai Wenwen said: "How can one cup be enough, how about I drink two cups for one cup for you?" ”
"Oh!" Everyone was heckling. I didn't expect it to be so powerful at the beginning, and it was a girl's start.
I feel like there's a sign of it.,Is this to give boys a chance to make mistakes?
