The night shot of the small scene was originally very simple, and it could be done with a few fixed cameras, but I didn't expect to get stuck when I took a close-up of the scaleman, and I was busy until midnight.

Director Liu Yan chose a beautiful little girl from the town early on, and then unremittingly instructed her how to play a good weigher who has a tobacco farmer in his heart and is full of love for the tobacco industry.

The little girl has no foundation in acting, and she can't pass more than 20 times of filming with "her eyes light up and she smiles", and the muscles on her face are stiff with laughter, and the more she acts, the more she looks like she has seen a ghost on a night walk.

Director Liu Yan was very patient, explaining and demonstrating over and over again, teaching hand by hand and face to face, Su Changqing's nose was sour when he saw it on the side.

"The old directors with gray temples are so desperate to engage in art, what reason do we young and strong have to give up?"

The more he looked at it, the more he strengthened his belief: "Art must continue to be engaged, anyway, the second generation of life is given for nothing, if you don't do it for nothing, you will roll up your sleeves and do it blindly, you can do whatever you want, no one wants to stop it, people block people, and Buddha blocks Buddha!"

Resign and do it yourself and start a studio.

When entering Beijing, resources are concentrated in the capital.

There are no regrets in this life, and it doesn't matter if you smash it, although the path of the purpose of the generation is not successful, it can also support the bottom, and it is a big deal to take the old road after six years.

Six years is enough time for a life experiment.

Since he has made up his mind, don't bother, Su Changqing got up before eight o'clock the next day, and went to the town to make a few phone calls first.

He didn't call his parents first, and the most important calls were saved for last.

No matter what you do, recruiting is very important, if you can cooperate with Huang Yang of Zhujiang Factory and Du Keke of Beijing Film Studio, both of them are classmates in the director class, they are talented and capable, and they are more resourceful than others.

Twenty years later, only the two of them are still working as directors.

In the early nineties, those who graduated from the Drama and Film Academy were still assigned cadres to the same class, except for two who went abroad for further study, the other students basically entered the major film studios, and Su Changqing was the one with the worst distribution.

However, there are few left who are still working in the film studio ten years later, and the only ones who are still working as directors twenty years later are the above two, and the vast majority of students have not come up with works in their lives, and those two who went abroad do not know where they died.

In the late 80s and early 90s, this wave of directors was the so-called sixth generation, just in time for the big decline in the domestic film market.

At this time, a large amount of funds have not entered the film and television industry, and there are not a few films a year, the market cannot hold up, and the resources are concentrated in the hands of the five generations of directors represented by Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

What these directors have in common is that they pretend to be forced, just like children who are not treated by their parents, they make some moves from time to time to attract attention, but unfortunately the works are not popular, not even seated, the basic routine is to fool the wronged head and spend money to make a film to win an award abroad, and then there is no follow-up.

In the 21st century, the fifth and sixth generations and cutting-edge directors collectively looked at the money and began to scuffle in the capital market.

As of the year when Su Changqing was reborn, none of the top three films at the domestic box office were made by professional directors, the first director of "Wolf Warrior 2" Wu Jing was born as an athlete, the second director of "Nezha" graduated from medical school with Dumpling, and the third director of "The Wandering Earth" Guo Fan studied law.

If the scope is expanded to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, it can be a few places further back.

Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, once said, "I don't think college taught me how to be a director." ”

Therefore, being a director is very similar to composing music and painting, it is not difficult to master basic skills, but if you want to excel, you must have talent.

Su Changqing has no shortage of talent, what he lacks is connections, resources and opportunities.

The first call was made to Huang Yang, but unfortunately he was not in the office, his father was a veteran of the Pearl River Factory, with strong connections, and he was arranged to join the crew of the TV series "Love in the Pearl River" as an assistant to the director before he graduated.

In 92, there has been a qualitative leap in contact methods, and the Motorola Chinese BB machine has just been launched, but one costs more than 3,500, and the annual service fee is more than 1,000, which is not affordable for ordinary people, and Huangyang cannot afford it, so it cannot be contacted for the time being.

As for the big brother mobile phone, it will take three or four years to appear, and the current family landline is not yet popular, and the most reliable way to find someone is to call the unit.

In this generation, serious people have units.

"Love in the Pearl River" later won the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award, and the male protagonist is Yue Buqunweizi, who is a teenager younger.

The second call was made to Du Keke, she is the only girl in the director's class, she has a good relationship with Su Changqing, and a few years later, she specializes in the soap TV series of the short mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the family, and the results are quite impressive.

The phone was quickly connected, she was sweeping the floor and wiping the desk in the office, and as soon as she heard Su Changqing's voice, she became angry: "You are a king, you are embarrassed to call your mother, don't appear again in this life if you have the ability!"

Hearing the voice, Su Changqing had mixed feelings, the half-old more than 20 years later and the young Du Keke who are now in their prime have never changed their hot tempers, and they have called themselves old ladies for decades, and they have milked countless people.

Because of his dissatisfaction with the distribution, Su Changqing left without saying hello to anyone on the day of graduation, which really broke the hearts of many friends.

Parting is still a big event in this era, how can you do it without hugging and crying.

After years of baptism, his knowledge and psychological quality are different from those in the past, Su Changqing talked nonsense with Du Keke with a hippie smile: "Old lady, don't be so angry, didn't I invite you to come?"

Su Changqing, who Du Keke is familiar with, is arrogant and cold, always more serious than serious, and is a little confused about this hip-hop version for a while: "Who is your mother, what medicine can you take today to admit your mistake, and say, why did you call my mother?"

Su Changqing cut straight to the point: "I figured it out, don't vomit with yourself, so I plan to go back to Beijing to build a studio and do it myself, so I specially came to ask for the opinion of the old lady." ”

Du Keke exploded directly: "Do you know that our business is already dead? Is it time to start a studio?"

She was right, in the late 80s and throughout the 90s, a large number of works accumulated by Hong Kong and Taiwan for twenty or thirty years poured into the mainland, directly killing domestic practitioners, everyone is watching "Huang Feihong", chasing "God of Gamblers", "Gambling Saint", "Truant Dragon", TV series are even more caught in the cracks to survive, and "Desire", which has just finished broadcasting, is the best work in recent years.

The market can't be tough, you have to respect the laws of history, Su Changqing said his plan: "What you said is also right, so you can't engage in film and television dramas for the time being, I am ready to shoot MTV and advertising, the market is blank in this regard, and it will explode in the next few years, first make a small fuss and accumulate some funds, and then start making TV series two years later, as for the movie, it will take a few more years." ”

Du Keke obviously didn't follow his train of thought, and he couldn't react a little: "Why are you so confident and planning so carefully, what is MTV?"

"It's the MV, the kind of music video shot by Michael Jackson and Madonna is also called MTV, which is currently very popular abroad, Mr. Xie mentioned it in class, you didn't listen carefully?"

Du Keke suddenly realized: "I said this, I've seen some of it, how can there be a market for that thing in China?"

MTV, which has a simple storyline and is in the modern sense, was the first to be filmed by Michael Jackson, and it is still a new thing in China at the moment, but karaoke has begun to enter the mainland in the past two years, and the MTV market will definitely grow explosively, after all, there are so many songs every year, and they must be matched with pictures to enter KTV.

As for advertising, with the take-off of the mainland economy, the market size will expand hundreds of times, and there is an extreme shortage of talents.

Su Changqing knew that these were all inappropriate in the eyes of the director of the professional class back then, and they were not worth mentioning at all, and filming this was no different from setting up a stall to sell slippers, and it was even more embarrassing.

Du Keke really came back: "I said Su Changqing, you want to give up your good future and rectify these crooked ways, are you eating too much?"

Su Changqing couldn't show her data to show that few directors had a so-called good future, let alone that he understood the market trend, so he could only tell inspirational stories: "Have you heard of Zhang Yuli?"

Du Keke replied very simply: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"How could I not have heard of it, one of the leading actors of "The Stubborn Master" in the first two years, and also made a cameo in "Editorial Department Story" last year. ”

"You're talking about Mi Jiashan's film, so it's a little impressive, is it the actor with small eyes?"

Du Keke has a problem with many directors, talking about works focuses on directors and screenwriters, and in their eyes, actors and props are similar.

Su Changqing sighed: "Several of the male actors in it are all small-eyed, come on, just remember the name Zhang Yuli, this actor basically has nothing to do after filming "The Stubborn Master", not long after he got married to Wang Xifeng, who played Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions", the two of them are currently floating in the basement in Beijing, and his wife is going to the cave Zhang Yuli to shoot MTV, he is the first ...... to shoot MTV in China"

Du Keke interrupted him: "What are you talking about, it makes sense to talk about a little actor, which proves that MTV can do it?"

Su Changqing was a little helpless: "I told you that the surname Zhang is not a little actor...... Forget it, you should have watched Tu Honggang's MTV "Farewell My Concubine", as well as Na Ying's "Seeing Flowers in the Fog", all of which he filmed in the past two years, and won the award......"

"Oh, I don't listen to songs often now, who is Tu Honggang?"

"It's the husband who sings, Fang Shu. ”

Du Keke became angry when he heard it: "Fart, I know Fang Shu, when did she have a husband surnamed Tu?"

Fang Shu made her debut as a child star, she was the little radish head in "Eternal Life in the Fire", she was popular in China in the 80s, starred in "Sunrise", hosted "Zhengda Variety Show" and the Spring Festival Gala, and she was also from Beijing Film Studio, and Du Keke was a unit, of course she knew.

Su Changqing realized that the talks had collapsed, and Tu Honggang would definitely marry Fang Shu, but it was not time yet.

This gave him a very important lesson, although what he said was true, and it did happen during this time, but before he said it, he had to determine the timeline, not to mention things that he was not sure of, and it almost didn't work out.

Unexpectedly, Du Keke's tone suddenly softened: "Changqing, I know you are under a lot of pressure, let's stop thinking nonsense, adjust well for a while, haven't you been able to sleep recently?"

Su Changqing couldn't cry or laugh: "What do you mean?"

"What the hell do I mean, you still don't understand?"

Yes, nothing was negotiated, but he fell into a mental illness.

It seemed that he could only find time to talk again, and before hanging up the phone, Du Keke suddenly asked, "Do you remember Hu Ji?"

Hu Ji is from the same acting department, and he is in the same class as Xu Qing, although he doesn't know him, he knows this person.

Su Changsheng was a little strange: "Of course I remember, it's only been more than a month since I graduated, and you really treat me as an idiot." ”

Du Coco sounded a little hesitant: "Czechoslovakia split into Czechoslovakia and Slovakia a few days ago, you know?"

Eastern Europe has changed dramatically in recent years, and it is not surprising that countries are divided.

Su Changqing didn't understand what she meant by suddenly saying this: "I really don't know this, I was filming in the countryside a few days ago, and the split must have nothing to do with me." ”
