"Hello Director Li, I'm Guo Fan. ”

At 9:20, the first interviewer arrived ten minutes early.

"Hello, please be seated. ”

Li Qian invited him to sit down and looked at him twice.

Plaid shirt, jeans, flat head, and glasses, plain looks and dress, not quite like a painter.

And the resume is also very strange, I studied law, my major is painting, I have won international awards, and I have been working in a TV station, or a music program, and I do packaging planning.

Proficient in a number of unrelated majors, this kind of person will not be bad.

Of course, this has little to do with the execution of this job, and Li Qian will not interview him if this is the case.

"Mr. Guo has worked in the crew directed by Zhang Yimou?"

Li Qian went straight to the point.

"Yes, I have done art in the crew of "Ambush on All Sides" and "The City is Full of Golden Armor". ”

Guo Fan pushed his glasses and answered truthfully, while also looking at Li Qian.

To be honest, Guo Fan regretted it a little from the moment he entered the door, the director in front of him should not be as old as himself, no matter how he looks at it, it is a little unreliable.

However, Guo Fan did not show it, after failing to apply for the director department of Beijing Film Academy in 99, he has not given up his dream of directing, and after graduation, he has the opportunity to do some art work in the crew.

But if you are not a professional and want to be a director, the difficulty can be imagined.

It's hard to find a crew to execute tricks, and you can still see your resume, even if it's unreliable, Guo Fan doesn't want to give up.

Zhang Yimou's costume blockbusters, the most brilliant is undoubtedly the art and color, from "Hero" to "Ambush on All Sides", and then to last year's "The City is Full of Golden Armor".

It can be said that the plots of these movies are not good, but in terms of the picture, few people in China can compare with him.

This is why only Zhang Yimou's costume films can be sold overseas, because foreigners can't understand the plot very well, so they watch the big scenes and watch the cameras.

Just like "Hero", foreigners are watching the overwhelming arrow array of the Qin army, the movements of the clouds and water, and the shock brought by the uniform slogan of "Gale".

But these alone are not enough, otherwise these three movies will not have an overseas box office lower than the other, and foreigners are tired of it.

can do art in Zhang Yimou's crew, and the ability is naturally needless to say, but Li Qian's recruitment is execution after all.

However, he continued to ask, "Can you tell us why you applied for the execution, and did you have any similar experience before?"

"I once applied for the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, but unfortunately the professional results were a little worse, I have been teaching myself the knowledge of directing in the past few years, and I have also been in a few crews, although I only do art work, but I still understand the entire work of the crew......

Guo Fan looks relatively low-key and introverted, and his speech is still clear.

was almost admitted to the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, and has been teaching himself to direct, and has been in a big crew such as "Ambush on All Sides" and "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and is familiar with all the work of the crew.

He is very smart and does not mention whether he has work experience.

But this is far from enough, the executive director is not an assistant director, otherwise Li Qian would not have been looking for so many days.

For example, if the director in the crew is equivalent to the chairman of a company, then the executive director is equivalent to the CEO, and the importance is self-evident.

Although "Sniper Phone Booth" is only a small crew of more than ten people, Li Qian is also directing for the first time, so he still tries to find a reliable execution.

In order to shoot "Red Cliff" well, Wu Baige also has to ask Zhang Jinzhan to do the execution, otherwise he may not be able to do it.

In this way, Zhang Jinzhan is ostensibly the executive director, but he is actually no different from the director, and Wu Baige is in charge of a director team, almost all the big scenes are filmed by Zhang Jinzhan, and Wu Baige also has a chief director.

Another big director, Chen Kexin, did the same for his first costume blockbuster, inviting Zhang Jinzhan to take charge of the large-scale war scene of "Casting the Name".

As a big-scene director who is well-known overseas and is called "General" by Hollywood, Zhang Jinzhan is also the executive director of films such as "Hero", "The City Full of Golden Armor", and "Farewell My Concubine".

It can be said that in the past ten years, half of the domestic blockbusters have been related to Zhang's close war.

Cheng Kaige has not cooperated with Zhang Jinzhan since "Farewell My Concubine" and "Jing Ke's Assassination of King Qin", and as a result, "Wuji" was filmed.

It's not that it can't be done without Zhang Melee Combat, it's somewhat impactful, no one can figure out that "Wuji" and "Farewell My Concubine" were made by a director.

Of course, this kind of big bull has nothing to do with Li Qian, he just wants to find someone who is familiar with all the work of the crew and has some experience.

Guo Fan is obviously not suitable, and originally thought that the crew who had treated Zhang Yimou would be able to surprise him.

Seeing that Li Qian was about to refuse, Guo Fan hurriedly took the lead and said, "Director Li, can you please take a look at this first." ”

As he spoke, he took out a large pile of manuscripts from his bag and handed them to Li Qian.

Guo Fan, who has always dreamed of becoming a director, does not want to give up this opportunity to be an executive director, and he has also run several online crews during this time, but they are all recruiting assistant directors, which is not much different from doing miscellaneous work, and it makes no sense to him.

And Li Qian looks a few years younger than himself, and it is estimated that it is also the first time to make a movie.

When filming, he can at least be a real executive director, maybe Li Qian is inexperienced, and many things have to be discussed between the two.

There was still some time before the next interviewee, and Li Qian also took over the pile of manuscripts.

At first glance, is it a comic?

"Director Li, this is the comic "The King of Kung Fu Prequel: Fate" authorized by Huayang Brothers Media for the promotion of the "King of Kung Fu" movie. Guo Fan introduced.

"The King of Kung Fu" Li Qian knows that starring Cheng Long and Li Lianjie is a proper big production.

Li Qian looked at it with interest, and the first thing was that in 578 AD, Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Guohuaguo Mountain, the essence of the sun and the moon weathered a stone monkey.

The simple three painting grids, Li Qian felt a little familiar.

The first frame is dominated by the background of mountains, and the stone monkey sitting on it is blurred, and only a rough outline can be seen.

The second frame seems to be the camera starting to zoom in, and I can see my hands and feet clearly, but I still can't see my face clearly.

And the third frame is like a close-up of the face, with a hideous face and eyes still shining.

Isn't this the most used storyboard in the movie, and the appearance of key characters is always slowly pushed closer from far and near.

Compared to comics, this is actually more like a movie storyboard.

However, the following dungeon is removed, Dragon Palace Suobao, and Havoc in the Heavenly Palace are normal comic storyboards.

But immediately after, the golden hoop stick fell to the world, and it was a continuous storyboard of the same three frames.

Guo Fan said, "I tried to apply the composition and montage techniques in the film to the comics, using multiple keyframes of film and television to express action scenes, and using continuous frame-by-frame pictures, which changed the previous lens design method based on action logic......

Li Qian was noncommittal, "Movie storyboards and comic storyboards are completely different things, fundamentally different. ”

Guo Fan's face darkened, and then he heard Li Qian laugh again.

"But if you want, you can come and be an assistant director for me, and how about also being an art director?"

The assistant director is too far from the executive director, the executive director is the leader of the director team, most of the time the person who shouts "start" is the executive director, and the executive director who manages the scene is also the executive director, and the assistant director is mostly the director and the executive director's side, and the two are very different.

Seeing the hesitation on Guo Fan's face, without waiting for him to refuse, Li Qian took out two documents from front of him and handed them over, "This is the script and storyboard of our movie, you can take a look at it first, and then we will talk to the photographer carefully in two days." ”

Guo Fan was still thinking about whether to agree, looking at the script and storyboard in front of him, he subconsciously took it and looked at the title on it.

"Sniper Phone Booth"?

The title of the movie is quite interesting, so I watched it directly.

Li Qian saw that he ignored himself, and he looked at the script by himself, and he was not angry.

However, after waiting for a while, after reading the script, he turned to the storyboard again.

Li Qian couldn't help but interrupt him and said loudly, "Lao Guo, take the script back and read it, take a good look at it, it will be started in a few days." ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Guo Fan reacted and smiled embarrassedly.

Li Qian got up and shook his hand with a smile, "That's it, welcome to the crew." ”

......

After Guo Fan signed the contract, he walked while reading the storyboard script, and only reacted when he left Li Qian's studio.

originally came to interview the executive director, but ended up signing a contract as an assistant director in a daze.

"But this script is so well written, the 60-minute plot is tightly paced, the final murderer turned out to be a person who never appeared, and the storyboard script is also very mature, and you can immediately imagine the picture in your head. ”

Guo Fan was shocked in his heart, and he couldn't even believe that this was written by a young man younger than himself.

"The assistant director is the assistant director, but fortunately, he is also the art director, and the art director can also participate in the creation of the play. ”

Guo Fan muttered in his mouth, stretched out his hand and called a car on the side of the road, got in the car and left.

In the studio, Li Qian was also pleasantly surprised by today's unexpected gain.

This Guo Fan is a talent, not to mention anything else, just this art foundation, there are not many people better than him in so many crews in Hengdian.

And at first glance, people are the kind of honest and low-key work, and it is perfect to stay as the royal art director.

Li Qian thought about it beautifully, picked up the comic and read it again, it was quite interesting.

However, after Sun Wukong was suppressed, the painting grid immediately jumped to the 70s, and a person who was obviously like Cheng Long was asked to expose himself because of the composition problem.

How did you draw it to that era?

Forget it, don't look at it.
