Chapter two hundred and twenty fourth flash point
In July, Lin Xiaoling is on summer vacation.
Lin Zixuan took her to the column group of the living space of China TV station and found her a summer internship.
Last time Lin Xiaoling proposed to shoot a movie, Lin Zixuan felt that she should study hard at school, but she could participate in social practice during the winter and summer vacations, so she agreed to her sister's request.
Although the column of Living Space has not been established for a long time, it is a program of China TV and is very formal.
Lin Xiaoling is just an intern and cannot be considered an employee of China Television.
This column mainly interviews the daily lives of ordinary families in China, hoping to show the ongoing changes in Chinese society by recording the stories of these ordinary people.
Of course, you can't just go to a family and shoot it. At least you have to obtain the consent of the family.
Moreover, as a director, you need to find out the extraordinary things of this family, that is, the highlights, and an ordinary person will occasionally make extraordinary actions.
There is a saying that it is not that there is no beauty in life, but that there is no eyes to discover beauty.
For example, a person with a low salary will donate money to students in poor mountainous areas every month, an ordinary rural postman insists on delivering letters, regardless of wind and rain, etc.
After all, this is a TV show. It won’t really broadcast the daily life of ordinary people. There must be something that can capture the audience.
If you can't find the flash point, the column team will not approve your shooting request, and there are only so many resources and cannot be wasted.
Lin Xiaoling doesn’t need to call each household to communicate with each other and ask for other people’s consent. Someone has done the preliminary work.
She just needs to choose a family from those families who are willing to be interviewed, come to the door to find out the situation, find a place worth interviewing for this family, write it into a shooting plan and submit it to the column team.
After reviewing the column team, they thought the idea was good, so they allocated resources to Lin Xiaoling and asked her to go and shoot.
The Living Space Column Group has several groups of people, and their daily work is to constantly interview, write reports, and shoot movies.
This is the daily work of a director. It is very boring and not as passionate as imagined. Sometimes the reports he wrote are constantly rejected by superiors, and in the end he begins to doubt his life.
Lin Xiaoling has just entered the industry and is still excited, feeling that her chance to show her skills has come.
She chose a family from an interview list, which is a family of four, with a husband being a policeman, a wife being a worker, and a pair of twelve-year-old twin brothers, who should feel very happy.
Besides, the profession of police must have many stories and will definitely find highlights.
With this idea, Xiaoling started her first independent director job.
However, things did not go as smoothly as she thought. After two days of interviews, she found that the family was indeed very ordinary, so ordinary that they really couldn't find any shining points.
Although the husband was a policeman, he was engaged in civilian work and sat in the office without any danger.
My wife works in a factory, and there is nothing to talk about except for the factory’s wage arrears.
The couple occasionally quarreled, but they quickly reconciled. There was no emotional crisis. The family did not experience any major storms and everything was normal.
This is actually the normal state for most people in China, and they live an ordinary life every day.
Lin Xiaoling felt that she was a failure.
As a director, she must dig deep into the details of life and show the details to the audience. This is what she learned in the film academy, but she still didn't dig it out.
"Brother, am I not suitable for this industry?" Lin Xiaoling said suspiciously.
In the past, the wind was very strong in shooting the capital, and it was carried out under the guidance of Lin Zixuan. Later, it was a collective creation by the film school students. Although she also made efforts, she was only a small part.
Now that she is working on a project independently, she seems to be unable to do it.
Xiaoling finally realized that she was too inflated and thought that she would be able to show off after she was in the director department for a year.
"It is normal for students like you who have just come out of school to fail. If this one doesn't work, just change to another one. Do you want to succeed again? Xiaoling, you have a problem with your attitude, you are too impatient." Lin Zixuan said a lesson.
At this time, he was preparing to move. The courtyard in Shichahai was repaired and it was vacant for half a month and it was already possible to live.
There are old rules in the capital. When moving to a new home, you should invite relatives and friends to come to a small gathering to congratulate you on your house move, also known as a warm-up house.
He is not going to make a big fuss, just invite a few friends who are familiar with each other, and everyone drinks and chats, just to relax.
Lin Xiaoling thought about it and felt that she was too eager to succeed.
"What if the next one is not OK?" Lin Xiaoling asked for advice, "Brother, can you teach me any experience?"
"If you want to succeed, you must be careful and have a good chat with everyone in that family. Don't miss any details, don't just pay attention to the surface, and you must also dig into their hearts." Lin Zixuan pointed out.
He actually thought of the game. In the novice village, if he wanted to find clues to the mission, he would keep chatting with the characters in the village.
Although the method is a little stupid, it is very effective and may have unexpected gains.
Lin Xiaoling decided to do a follow-up visit to that family. If she couldn't find any highlights this time, she would choose the next family.
She came to the police's home. The police were not at home. His wife went out to buy vegetables. There were only two twelve-year-old twin children left at home. The boy was watching TV and the girl was doing homework.
Lin Xiaoling came two days ago, and the children were familiar with her, so she opened the door and let her in.
Xiaoling felt that she had nothing to do anyway, so she started chatting with the girl. She only talked with the girl’s parents last time.
"I don't want to be my sister anymore." As I chatted, the girl quietly told Lin Xiaoling.
Lin Xiaoling has learned about the situation of this family. The twins are quite interesting. Twelve years ago, when the twins were about to be born, her mother had to have a caesarean section.
The doctor asked whether to remove the boy first or the girl first.
As a result, when the family discussed, they thought the girl was more sensible and could take care of the boy, so they decided to take out the girl first, so the girl became the sister and the boy became the younger brother.
In fact, the difference between the two is only a few minutes away from birth.
But it was these few minutes that gave the girl the identity of an older sister, and she needed to take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother.
If the boy is taken out first, then the boy is the elder brother, and he has the obligation to take care of the younger sister who was born later.
The arrangement of this role is not decided by boys and girls, but by their families at a family meeting twelve years ago, and they passively accepted this identity.
