In the capital, Xitucheng Road, Haidian District, Qi Yukun and Guo Fan were smoking cigarettes on the side of the road, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Lao Qi, there are still four months to graduate, what are you going to make?" Guo Fan opened his mouth and chatted.

"Haven't thought about it yet, what about you?"

Qi Yukun spat out a puff of smoke, he was already old, with a bitter face, this old smoker's posture looked at least 15 years old, and he had to be 40 years younger.

Guo Fan didn't think about it, and said loudly, "Sci-fi films, big-budget sci-fi films!"

"Huh. ”

Laughing softly, Qi Yukun shook his head.

"Let me tell you, don't believe it, I'm ready to shoot a sci-fi movie. ”

"Okay, you can shoot it. ”

"You still don't believe me. ”

"I believe, I'm waiting to see your sci-fi blockbuster. ”

"You're clearly laughing at me. ”

"I didn't. ”

"It's clear. ”

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it, what else do you want from me?"

"You..."

Seeing that they were about to get up again, a man trotted over, gasping for breath and interrupting their chat.

"Lao Guo, Lao Qi, I've kept you waiting for a long time. ”

"Why are you here, let's go, don't be late. ”

Guo Fan took out his cigarette, looked at Wen Muye, a classmate of the two of them in the advanced class of the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, still holding this document bag in his hand, and couldn't help asking, "Lao Wen, what are you?"

Wen Muye calmed down and raised the document bag in his hand, "Don't you want a resume, I just got it yesterday, show it to your boss." ”

"Resume?"

"Your kid graduated last year, and he came to the advanced class as soon as he graduated, what is your resume?"

There are dozens of people in the refresher class, and the three of them are also familiar with each other for more than half a year, and they are also the only friends who can get along, Guo Fan is not so polite, and curiously took Wen Muye's file bag.

Wen Muye smiled, "I filmed a few assignments in college, and I also filmed some small commercials and MVs last year. ”

"Okay, let's go, but these shouldn't be needed, and the main thing is to test your professional level at that time. ”

didn't delay much, they still had classes in the afternoon, and the three of them got into the car and drove in the direction of Li Qian's studio.

In the car, Guo Fan's mouth never stopped, "Lao Wen, let me tell you, our boss is a very easy-going person, don't be nervous, the interview is to test your professional ability, and he is also made up to be a professional with you." ”

"He has a very accurate eye, at that time, I went to interview for the executive director of "Sniper Phone Booth", but at that time I had already found Lao Qi, but the boss saw my talent at a glance, and I wanted to leave at that time, so I insisted on finding me to be an assistant director. ”

Wen Muye couldn't help nodding in the back row, and his mouth was a little embarrassed, "Director Li graduated from 211 Key University, and I'm just an ordinary third-level college, this can't be the same." ”

Qi Yukun next to him said, "Education is not a problem, the boss doesn't look at this, take it easy." ”

Soon, the car stopped at the door of the studio, and Guo Fan and the two of them took Wen Muye in.

In the office, Wen Muye also met Li Qian for the first time, the 200 million box office director who was only one year older than him.

"Hello Director Li, I'm Wen Muye, a student of the advanced class of the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, and this is my resume. ”

Although he is only one year younger than Li Qian, he is the first in the industry, and Li Qian's achievements in the film industry, not to mention a newcomer who is not a director, even if he is a director who has been filming for many years, he has to lower his profile.

"Hello, please sit down, I'll take a look. ”

Li Qian smiled, invited him to sit down, took the file bag and looked at it.

It's really an easy-going person, not at all like the rumored arrogance and arrogance.

Wen Muye's heart settled down a little, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down in front of him, nervously watching Li Qian flip through his information.

The resume is nothing special, after all, he is only 24 years old, one year younger than Li Qian himself.

After graduating from college last year, I made some commercials, MVs, and a short film won an award abroad.

However, what is special is that there are some MVs of popular songs, which is rare.

Li Qian glanced up at him, "Wen Muye, right?"

"Yes, Director Li. ”

"What is the essential difference between these popular songs "MV" and commercial short films in your own works?"

Li Qian said where to plug the USB flash drive in the file bag into the computer, clicked on a few videos and watched it.

Wen Muno didn't think about it, and immediately replied, "Advertising is emotionless. ”

"What about the others?"

"MVs are different, especially love songs and red songs, which are the types of songs themselves that express emotions, and MVs must be compatible with public empathy. ”

Speaking of professional things, Bunmuno sat up straight and even expressed his thoughts calmly.

"Not bad. ”

Li Qian watched the MVs of the two red songs, and they did shoot very well.

Everyone knows which type of red song it is, and most of them express a kind of patriotic feelings.

The content of the MV is also different from other songs, and it has to fit the patriotic feelings and humanistic care expressed in the song.

It's good for a 24-year-old to be able to do that.

Li Qian then clicked on another video, and the title of the film was one word: "Run".

It's not surprising that when Li Qian was in college, he saw countless classmates, brothers and sisters doing all kinds of strange homework.

There was even one who ran up the hill with a DV and filmed motionless at a tree for 30 minutes, during which birds kept stopping on the tree and flying away, and the whole shot was not cut or edited.

It's no wonder.

As the name of the short film goes, a group of thugs chase and slash another normal-looking young man with a knife.

But there are two lines, and the other is Jordan playing basketball.

To be precise, it was Jordan who was dunking, it was simply Jordan's dunk highlights, and there was rap throughout the whole process.

After listening to it carefully, it seems to be Eminem's song, Li Qian heard it in high school, but he concentrated on studying directing in college, so he didn't listen to the song much.

Soon the short film was over, and listening to the sound, Wen Muye also knew what Li Qian was watching, so he explained, "Director Li, this is my first assignment in college, and I was shooting it with a second-hand Panasonic GS5, which is a little unclear. ”

Li Qian watched it again, thought about it, and commented, "I can familiarly use parallel montage in my first assignment in college, which is very good, and the rhythm of the music is also very good." ”

is the same as the teacher praised him at the beginning, after so many years, his work has been praised again, and he is still a great director who has achieved fame, and Wen Muye still has a hint of joy.

He hurriedly said, "I used to like to read comic books, but now that I think about it, there are some similarities with storyboards, and I may have been a little affected at that time. ”

"There is also music, in fact, my father is a music teacher, and he also knows a little bit about music rhythm, so I cut this short film according to the rhythm of music. ”

Speaking of editing, I was still a little embarrassed, "At that time, I started to learn Premiere 6.0 for editing, but there was no Chinese version, and it took two months to remember the position of the English buttons." ”

"PR6.0 now has a Chinese cracked version, so you don't have to spend time remembering that. ”

Li Qian smiled and looked at several of his other advertisements and short films.

After chatting for a while, I found that Wen Muno is indeed talented, and the first assignment in college used a parallel montage, and the rhythm is also very good, although the content itself is not worth saying much.

In these short films, you can also see his progress, whether it is in the lens or editing.

In order to use editing software, it takes two months to memorize the position of the buttons, and I have enough perseverance to be able to endure hardships.

That's enough.

"It just so happens that I still lack an executive in my next movie, so let's join the group after you graduate. ”

The interview was successful, a little too sudden, and Wen Muye was still a little stunned.

However, looking at Li Qian's loaded file bag back, he hurriedly took it with both hands.

"Thank you, Director Li, don't worry, I will do a good job. ”

Guo Fan really didn't lie to him, Li Qian is easy-going and good at discovering talents.

"That's okay, you still have classes in the afternoon, let's go to class first, it's not easy to learn all the courses of other directing students for the entire four years in a year, don't delay. ”

The refresher course ended in June, and now it's only February, and the new movie can start preparing for almost April.

In the past two months, Xu Zheng didn't say that he wanted to come to the crew to study, let him top it and direct several dramas, and his ability should be fine.

......

In the afternoon, Li Qian saw Wu Jing again in the studio, said hello, and Li Qian directly handed over an A4 paper.

"Brother Jing, I came to you this time because I have a project, I don't know if you want to take over. ”

“？？？”

Wu Jing took it with a confused face, and when he received the call before, he thought it was something

As for the character, how do you look at this meaning, it is to find him to be the director.

After a general glance, I was more sure of his thoughts, which seemed to be the prototype of a script.

"Director Li, are you asking me to be the director?" Wu Jing asked with some uncertainty.

"That's right, Brother Jing, your first directorial "Wolf Teeth" is very good as a debut film, this is also an action movie idea, if you are interested, I want to ask you to be the director and the leading actor. Li Qian nodded.

Or let yourself direct and act.

Wu Jing is even more inexplicable, he doesn't know Li Qian, how could he suddenly send himself a movie project for no reason.

However, he still looked at it carefully, and although the whole story was simple, it made his eyes shine.

Wu Jing has filmed a lot of action movies, and some of them dare to boast about Haikou, which can be regarded as a classic.

However, Li Qian's story has indeed never been seen before.

On a small island in the Pacific Ocean, an international criminal syndicate has arrested 10 people from different countries, different identities and different genders from all over the world, and launched a chaotic battle on the island.

The island is full of surveillance, and every move of those ten people is monitored in all directions, so that it can be used as an online casino gambling device, and others can place bets online, depending on which one will survive to the end, or the order of death.

The rule of this game is that there are no rules to fight until the last person survives.

In the end, the male protagonist, a Chinese retired soldier, killed the mercenaries of the African battlefield, the former Marine of Mi Lijian, the underground boxer, the killer, the drug dealer and other opponents of different identities, and finally killed the head of the criminal syndicate.

The story couldn't be more straightforward, and it can even be said that it is not nutritious, it is simply and directly fighting and killing.

However, there is something interesting, specially marked, at the beginning, the ten people were tied to the helicopter and airdropped to the island, but one person had an accident and fell to his death.

There is one less opponent directly, and it is estimated that when the time comes, the audience will be confused

In addition, whenever someone else is in a vulnerable position, the crime syndicate uses drones to drop some knives, firearms, first aid kits, food, and water to the protagonist's opponents.

Airdrop weapons, ammunition, and food to the "weak", this is too interesting, and the general movie is to add a halo to the protagonist, that is, the plug-in in the game, but this is a plug-in for the villain and the supporting role, and the difficulty is set for the protagonist

Interesting!

"Director Li, does this story have a name?" Wu Jing couldn't help asking.

"How about calling it PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for the time being. Li Qian said with a smile.
