As May begins, Lin Zixuan has one more thing to care about, that is his sister's professional course exam. △↗,.

Last year, he was far away in the United States, and there was no way. Lin Xiaoling went to the exam in a daze, barely passed the written test, and was beaten during the interview.

This time, we can’t be so unprepared anymore. We need to collect information and actively prepare for the exam.

Lin Zixuan asked, but the situation was not optimistic.

The director department of the Beijing Film Academy only recruits twelve students. In order to cultivate talents for the southwest ethnic minority areas, in addition to the Beijing Examination District, two students will be admitted in Guizhou and Yunnan Province respectively.

In other words, only eight students were admitted in the Beijing examination area.

Although Lin Zixuan didn’t know how many people applied to the director department of the Film Academy this year, he only admitted eight people, which was very difficult. He even wanted to persuade his sister to apply for the Radio Academy.

Beijing Radio College also has a major in drama, film and television, but it is not as famous as the film school.

Lin Xiaoling did not retreat. She had been preparing for a year just to prove her choice. She was not just making a fool of herself, but she really wanted to engage in this industry.

Perhaps the element that was a little angry at the beginning is now the firm will.

This year, Xiaoling was under great pressure. Her parents did not support her, relatives and friends did not understand her, and neighbors talked about her, thinking that she was too willful and ignorant. It would be good for girls to go to college, and she had to be picky.

She knew that even with the support of her brother, her parents would not give her the next chance, so she must pass the exam this time.

With this tragic mood, Lin Xiaoling walked into the Beijing Film Academy.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if she fails the exam. It’s not just one way to become a director. You can also sign up for a further training class. This is a short-term training class established by the Beijing Film Academy, and the semester is one year.

It is mainly aimed at those who have certain experience in the film and television industry but have not systematically learned professional knowledge.

This kind of advanced training course recruits a large number of people and has loose management. You can study by finding relationships. Of course, there is no system for undergraduate majors, so it is not nice to say it.

She can also start from the bottom of the crew like Feng Xiaogang and gradually become a director through practice.

There are many great directors in this world who have not received professional studies and have become directors based on their personal interests and hobbies. Otherwise, where did the first director to make a film come from, it would not have been explored by himself.

However, for Xiaoling, passing the exam is the most important thing now.

The written test questions of the director department are relatively simple, which are film and social common sense, which are mainly used to eliminate those laymen. As long as you prepare carefully and become familiar with European film history and Chinese film history, there is basically no big problem.

In China, the film school focuses on the teaching of art films and believes that art films are the real films.

Therefore, in terms of film analysis, you can only get high scores by watching more foreign and domestic art films.

After the written test was over, Lin Xiaoling was quite confident. This time she was better than the last exam. Sure enough, she received an interview notice.

The exams at the Film Academy last about a week. The three days after the written exam are interviews, also called re-examinations. Sometimes there will be a third round of exams, which are very strict.

There are three examiners in the Director Department of the Film Academy, namely Zheng Dongtian, Jiang Shixiong and Yang Lin.

These three are also professors in the director department. Jiang Shixiong is responsible for the teaching of the first and second grades, and Zheng Dongtian and Yang Lin are responsible for the teaching of the third and fourth grades. Their three have rich teaching experience and have trained many famous directors in China.

They are not well-known among ordinary audiences, but are highly respected in the film industry.

The interview mainly tests the candidates' comprehensive abilities, including their understanding of movies, their views on domestic movies, or their works they have filmed. In short, you should make the examiner feel lit up and think that you are worthy of training.

Zhang Yimou was admitted to the Photography Department of the Film Academy for his own photos, and thus became the current great director.

Last year, Lin Xiaoling didn't understand anything and couldn't tell any new ideas. She could only repeat the arguments in the book according to the text, and naturally she couldn't satisfy the examiner.

This time, she stood here again. Although she still didn't have too clever insights, she finally didn't follow the crowd, but had some of her own ideas and thoughts.

Especially after the crew internship and filming "The Wind in the Capital", she wanted to shoot the reality of life through the camera.

Lin Xiaoling did not forget the killer weapon that could give herself extra points.

"Hello, three examiners, this is a short film I took myself. Please give me some advice." Lin Xiaoling said politely.

She took out a round box from her backpack, which contained the filmed film, and she sent the box over.

The three people nodded. This kind of thing is very common. They also want to see the shooting methods of the candidates from the film.

"Did you shoot it on film?" Zheng Dongtian looked at it and asked.

This kind of box is used to store films, which is very ordinary, but it has the mark of the Beijing Film Studio. As a director, he is very familiar with this mark.

If you can use the film from the Beijing Film Studio to make a short film, you should not be an ordinary person. You must have someone in the circle at home or friends.

"It's expired film, and it's a documentary." Lin Xiaoling replied.

Unlike last year's fear, Xiaoling has become much calmer after the experience of society.

Shooting documentaries with expired film?

The three of them have been working in movies for a long time, and they can understand it as soon as they think about it. This is to enhance the texture of the film and look more time-honored and historical. This method is not commonly used, but it is very effective.

Although it is a simple trick, it is really not easy to think of if you haven't been in this industry for a long time.

They looked at the eighteen-year-old girl in front of them, and her face was a little tender. I think it was not something she could think of. From this point of view, it can be judged that there must be people in the circle behind this girl.

This is understandable, if you have resources, you have to use them.

The three examiners asked Lin Xiaoling a few questions, such as how do you view the New Wave movies in Europe, what kind of movies do you want to shoot, conceive a story in one sentence, etc.

Lin Xiaoling's answer was just average and not outstanding enough. After all, she was only eighteen years old, and she did not have enough knowledge or life experience.

The examiner understood that this was not the kind of passionate and genius student, and he could only be said to be qualified. However, the number of places to enroll this year is limited, and passing alone is not enough, and you must be excellent.

They also have to interview other candidates, so they asked Lin Xiaoling to go home and wait for the news. There will be a notification after a few days of passing.

At the end of the day's interview, the examiner also has to look at the works taken by the candidates and select better students from them. Some candidates may not be good at speaking, but can express their ideas through their works.

A director ultimately has to rely on his film work to speak, rather than fool him.

The Beijing Film Academy has a small screening room where three of them watch movies one by one.

Most of the candidates provided short films of about thirty minutes, which looked very fast, and then they saw Lin Xiaoling's films.

The beginning of the film is a swaying shot. A girl with a red scarf runs on the streets of the capital, with the camera following closely behind, and the red scarf forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding gray streets.

The opening of this run attracted their attention. (To be continued.)
