Chapter 175: The Rough Reality

This kind of shaking shot will make the audience in the cinema feel uncomfortable, but for film practitioners, it will find it novel.¥f,

The so-called expert looks at the tricks, while the layman watches the fun.

The audience is watching the story when watching the movie, and at most they think about the meaning of the story. People in the circle are watching the directorial techniques, photography composition, props and sets, and the performances of the actors.

They recognized the girl with a red scarf in the film as the candidate who came to interview in the morning.

The red scarf and the ancient capital, the girl's clean face and running movements form a sharp contrast. The capital is old and quiet, while the girl is bright and sporty.

The whole picture suddenly became vivid.

As teachers at the Film Academy, they are used to analyzing when watching movies and want to see the meaning of each shot. The first shot of this film makes them excited and have the desire to continue watching.

Next, the girl interviewed everywhere in the capital and spent most of her time asking the same question repeatedly.

"Do you think the wind is strong in the capital?"

The three examiners were considering what the deep meaning of this question was, and what it was supposed to be. Later, they figured it out that this question was meaningless, it was just a topic, mainly looking at the reaction of the interviewee.

It's a bit mysterious.

The examiners were a little dissatisfied. They had taught many students and did not like these tricks and opportunists. Such students may achieve temporary success after entering society, but it is difficult to produce truly profound works.

However, as the interviews in the film progressed, they became cautious.

They found that the microphone in the girl's hand was like a detector, able to find out the true side of the interviewee.

This is a sudden interview on the street. People with honest personalities will face the camera, people with guilty hearts will choose to avoid it, people with irritable spirits will be angry, people with hypocritical will pretend to cater to it, and everything is revealed in front of the camera.

This is the side that cannot be seen by the news interviews on TV, which is more direct and real, or a bit rough.

In this way, without discussing in advance, without permission from the interviewee, they rudely put these people under the camera and did not give them the opportunity to think, which has a strong experimental nature.

They can also see the intentions that some photographers or producers want to express.

The whole film has a sarcastic scent.

For example, those interviewees in front of Tiananmen Square clearly expressed people's admiration for rights, while the cadres interviewed looked arrogant and domineering, the hypocrisy of restaurant diners, and the rich people wearing suits in the hotel had a numb and indifference.

For workers, cleaners, and newly married couples, they seem much gentler in the camera.

The producer consciously expressed his contempt for the authoritatives and his concern for ordinary people.

At the end of the film, there is a hospital.

At this time, the film showed a rare warmth, aiming at the suffering patients and listening to their complaints.

This is Feng Xiaogang's usual technique. He is good at teasing and sarcasm. In the end, he did not forget to give the audience a bowl of spiritual chicken soup, which moved the audience and felt that the film was related to love and feelings.

The three examiners had different opinions on this.

Some people think that the style of the last paragraph is obviously inconsistent with the previous one, destroying the overall style of the film and weakening the irony. Some people think that this is the real life, and life is not only irony but also sadness.

They didn't realize that they had finished watching the sixty-minute movie, and they didn't feel bored.

"What do you think?" Zheng Dongtian asked after discussing the content of the film.

"This kind of film cannot be completed by that candidate. There must be a professional production team planning behind it. The person in charge of editing is not simple, and he should have a certain reputation in the circle." Jiang Shixiong analyzed.

"The film was made very rough, but the creativity was very good. This may be a new way out for domestic documentaries. Even as a graduate work in the director department is qualified. What do you think is the origin of this girl? She couldn't have specially hired someone from the film factory to help with the filming." As the only female lecturer, Yang Lin said curiously.

"I used the film from Beijing Film Studio. What do you think? But I haven't heard of this girl. Logically, we are all familiar with the people in the Beijing film circle. Whose child is it?" Zheng Dongtian said in confusion.

"What should I do? Should I admit it? If someone helps, then this movie is not her work. I think it is not appropriate to admit her. This kind of gap cannot be opened and is unfair to other candidates. Otherwise, if the candidates ask for help, there is no need to take the exam." Jiang Shixiong suggested.

"This girl obviously participated in the shooting. Even if someone helped her, it would be a rare experience. If there were people in the circle around her, it would be of great help to her future path." Yang Lin expressed a different opinion, "Besides, she is only eighteen years old, so it is already very good to be able to do this."

She likes this film and feels it is very innovative and energetic. Moreover, China lacks female directors, so she wants to fight for it.

However, it was Zheng Dongtian who was able to make the decision in the end, who was the leader in the directorial department.

"I inform her to come here again and ask about the matter clearly." Zheng Dongtian thought for a while and decided to say.

If it was in previous years, the number of admissions was sufficient, such candidates would be admitted. Art colleges and universities are very flexible in enrollment, as long as they were attracted by the examiner during the interview.

When Jiang Wen was admitted to the Beijing Drama Academy, two of the examiners thought it was not possible, but the third examiner took a fancy to Jiang Wen.

It’s hard to explain something like art. How do you know whether a child has art cells? This cannot be found through scientific examinations. It can only be based on feelings, or the examiner likes you.

Beijing Film Academy likes to recruit students like Lin Xiaoling who have resources in the film and television industry.

Because they are all insiders, the path after graduation is easy to follow. If you don’t have any resources, unless you are a genius person, you will be very difficult and your achievements will be limited.

This is why there are some performing arts families.

Zheng Dongtian wants to give Lin Xiaoling a chance. If this film is entirely someone else's work and Lin Xiaoling is just an actor, then he would suggest Lin Xiaoling to apply for the acting department.

If Lin Xiaoling is involved in the production of the film and can have her own opinions, there will be a chance.

He doesn't want to ask about the girl's background for the time being. As the examiner, he knows that there is no absolute fairness, but at least to ensure relative fairness, it depends on the girl's ability.

Lin Xiaoling waited at home for a day and entered the film academy again.

"Do you want to say hello to Director Zhang and Director Mi?" Mu Shanshan said worriedly.

Zhang Yimou is a representative figure of the directorial school of Beijing Film Academy and is very influential in the Film Academy. Mi Jiashan is also a director from the Film Academy. Lin Zixuan also knows many graduates from the Film Academy.

"Look at the result of this time. If it doesn't work, please ask someone to help." Lin Zixuan calculated. (To be continued.)
