The movie that Lin Zixuan thought of was called us.

The story and scenes are not complicated, there are no large scenes, and there is no need for a huge crew. It is just a low-cost drama film that mainly relies on the performance of the characters to promote the plot, which is suitable for novice directors to direct.

The only difficulty is that the shooting time is long and it takes to go through the alternation of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

This represents a cycle of reincarnation.

In winter, the old lady and the girl meet for the first time, and they face each other in tit-for-tat and conflicts, and their relationship is just like the severe winter.

As they get along, the two enter the spring of knowing and caring for each other. After they get to know each other, their relationship heats up quickly, and this is the hot summer and finally, they part in autumn.

The four seasons symbolize life.

This movie is considered successful if it can combine the changes in the scenery of the four seasons of the capital with the changes in the inner feelings of the characters.

Therefore, you should not shoot this type of film quickly, but slow down and carefully polish it for a year to get the ideal effect.

This is an artistic film, which requires careful crafting.

Of course, you can also cut corners and focus your scenes on winter and spring shooting. When shooting movies, it is common to shoot summer scenes in winter, but that will not have a natural taste.

When making a movie, it is easy to think fast, but it is difficult to slow down, which tests the ability and patience of the director and actors.

For example, the Wang Jiawei in Xiangjiang, a movie can be made for several years, but people just work hard.

Fortunately, there is only time for the film academy to study. The so-called crew is the students of the film academy. As long as two actors are willing to cooperate, the beats of each season will be over half a month, and there will be no big problem.

Let’s talk about the shooting venue, Lin Zixuan has a courtyard house, and some rooms are still empty. It is enough to free up two houses for filming. As a graduation work, students in the crew do not have to pay their salaries.

Beijing Youth Film Studio has shooting equipment, but there are not many places to spend money.

That is, the film money, the actor's pay, the props needed to arrange the house, the travel expenses and meals for filming, etc., this calculation should be enough for 300,000 yuan.

As a producer, Lin Zixuan can’t help but think of these problems. This is a professional habit.

When he saw a script, he could basically estimate how much money he would spend.

He passed the film of the two of us in his mind and felt it was suitable for Lin Xiaoling's graduation work.

Perhaps it's a little bit more difficult.

The most difficult thing in this film is emotional conflicts. People go from being unfamiliar to being acquainted with each other, and then to being unable to leave. It is not easy to express the subtle feelings in it and present them on the camera.

Lin Zixuan didn’t know how his sister was learning at school, but the short film called Sister was shot well.

Lin Xiaoling seems to be good at capturing some subtle emotions, which is a keen sense of touch as a director.

Moreover, there should be teachers in the Film Academy to guide you, so Lin Zixuan doesn’t have to worry about it. The teachers in the Film Academy are all experts in making art films and know how to take a proper position in it.

If Lin Xiaoling can shoot this film in the next two years, she will be considered a successful graduation.

After making up his mind, Lin Zixuan told Lin Xiaoling the rough story of us, but he would not help his sister too much, as it would not be beneficial to her growth.

This is Lin Xiaoling's homework and she needs to complete it herself.

He just put forward an idea, and Lin Xiaoling will complete the story.

How to set the relationship between characters, how to create conflicts, how to promote the development of the plot, etc. This is a very meticulous task.

Details determine success or failure, especially such films that rely on life details to win. If you don’t have life experience, it will be difficult to attract audiences.

This is a story about an old lady in the capital and a girl from another place. First of all, we need to understand the personalities of both parties. Lin Xiaoling lives in the capital. She knows more about the personality of an old lady in the capital.

That is, he has a stubborn temper, a cold face, and a warm heart, and a senseless speech.

This is just a general impression. Everyone is different and requires careful observation and experience.

It depends on her own efforts to achieve what she can do and what she can do.

"We have a courtyard house. You don't have to look for scenes, and you can save any expenses. You write the script yourself and write it for Professor Zheng to show you and ask him to give him advice. This film focuses on emotions. Your Professor Zheng is an expert in this regard." Lin Zixuan reminded.

Zheng Dongtian has made many excellent feature films and is very prestigious among the fourth generation of directors in China.

What Lin Xiaoling needs to do is to combine theory with practice during the filming process, accumulate experience, and prepare for her future directorial career.

"I understand. This story is quite interesting. I will talk to the people in the group tomorrow." Lin Xiaoling nodded.

"Which movie group do you and Jia Zhangke?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"Yes, we all want to make a movie and film the real life in the present." Lin Xiaoling responded, "Jia Zhangke and the others have written several outlines, which I think is too negative."

The fifth generation of directors likes to recall the past and want to reflect on life from past experiences, while young people like Lin Xiaoling live in the present and want to shoot their own stories.

Lin Zixuan seemed to see the changes of the times.

At this time, Zheng Xiulian called them for dinner, and Lin Zixuan walked into the house with Mu Shanshan.

Zheng Xiulian now lives in a courtyard house and will help them take care of their children in the future. Mu Shanshan has to go out to work after giving birth.

Lin Boqing couldn't bear to live at home, and he still lived at home. Sometimes he would stay at Lin Zixuan for two days.

Zheng Xiulian ran on both sides. She retired from the company after she was sick. She didn't really get sick, but retired early. Although she was just over fifty and was not yet at the age of retirement, this situation is very common in this era.

Besides, the salary after retirement is no less than when I was at work, and I still have a lot of free time.

For Zheng Xiulian, taking care of her grandson is much more important than going to work, and the situation in a state-owned unit is not very good now.

This year, the term laid-off began to appear frequently in newspapers, attracting attention from all parties, especially in heavy industrial cities in the northeast where factories have no work and workers cannot get their wages.

So, laid-off workers were found.

The factory ends the labor relationship between the two parties by buying out their seniority and pushes employees to society.

The iron job I used to think was reliable is not reliable now. These people have been in the factory for most of their lives, and now they are about to start their own lives again.

"Retire early, save time to lay off, and you can't hide your face." Zheng Xiulian was very open-minded.

This is the truth. Many laid-off workers are unwilling to let their families know that they still pretend to be working normally every day, but they are actually just walking around the streets without doing anything.

It is not easy to start over.

Lin Zixuan knew that this was just the beginning, and there would be more and more laid-off workers in the future, and this was the tide of laid-offs. It was to be continued
