China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 157 Director Candidates

At night, Liu Yifei returned home full of worries. Seeing this, Liu's mother cared and said:

"What, is there a fight?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, wanted to talk to her mother but didn't know where to start, so she could only vaguely say:
"He asked me if I wanted to invest in this movie." Then he added in a low voice: "In my own name."

Liu Xiaoli was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then her expression became a little unnatural.

Liu Yifei turned his head and looked away.

At this moment, the only sound in the room is the sound of commercials being played on TV.

After a while, Mother Liu's voice sounded again, but it was not as calm as before:

"Of course it's in your name. This is a matter between you. It's not good for other people to get involved."

Liu Xiaoli sat beside her daughter, gently stroking her temple hair:

As her daughter grows up, she also understands some things, and she will have to face them after all.

After the Spring Festival, He Hua and Huang Lan met many people.

Some of them have served as assistants to well-known directors, some have come from Xiangjiang with rich experience, and some have just obtained a master's degree in directing.

They all want to try to get this opportunity to direct an independent film from Youhua.

But they were all rejected by He Hua.

This made Huang Lan complain a little: "What kind of person are you looking for? You must let me have a general direction."

"It's mainly a feeling that there is nothing in their works that catches my eye"

Basically, these people have never appeared in the player. The only one who left their name in the future is an ancient puppet web drama. He Hua shook his head after watching that quality.

Huang Lan was helpless, who let herself meet such a picky boss.

"Tomorrow's one is your alumnus of Chinese opera, I don't know if you recognize him or not, but he's quite popular now, he's valued by Zeng Zhiwei from Xiangjiang, so I finally asked him out."

"The Chinese opera? Who is it?" He Hua asked curiously.

"Han Yan, do you know him?"

'Han Yan' He Hua said the name several times, and he was thinking about it in his mind: "I seem to have a little impression, and I heard it mentioned by my classmates."

He Hua immediately called his roommate to ask, and then remembered.

In 2006, Han Yan made a graduation short film "Contour", which won a gold medal in a French short film competition, which aroused a lot of repercussions in school, but at that time he was busy writing novels and scripts, so he didn't pay much attention.

After thinking about it, He Hua thought that his graduation work would win the award, and he would be valued by the big shots in the Hong Kong circle. He should not be unknown in the future, so he searched in the player.

that's amazing!There are many works, and the ratings are not low.

He Hua decided to go back tonight and watch two movies to see if he is suitable for this movie.

That night, after watching "Send You A Little Red Flower" and "Get Out!"He Hua of "Tumor King" fell into a tangle.

What about my alumni?

First of all, he has a certain attitude. He Huaneng can feel his sincerity from his works. He does not intentionally flatter and cater to the market, nor does he contemptuously play tricks. He treats the audience as fools. look.

There is also talent.

His audio-visual language is unique, he likes to use comics to express his heart, and he is very good at using romantic techniques to show some real problems.

Like in "Get Out!"In "Mr. Tumor", the interlacing of reality and imagination is realized through the switching of comics and images.When the heroine crosses the road, she will imagine that the city building has collapsed, and she is the hero who saves the world;

"Send You A Little Red Flower" also added comic elements such as "Dimensional Wall".

However, he also has a very big problem, that is, he does not have a clear grasp of the scale.

"Get Out!Tumor Mr. is vacillating between chick-style comedies and literary tearjerkers; "Send You A Little Red Flower" hesitates between youth pain films and family dramas, all because of the imbalance of the film's sad and happy ratio.

So He Hua didn't know if he was a good choice.

The two met in He Hua's office the next day.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, He Hua asked Han Yan what he thought of the script.

"My last movie was called "Spread Your Map", which was a remake of the Taiwanese film "Nine Falling Winds". I think that movie is a bit similar to this script, except that "Nine Falling Winds" is about youth. Confused, and this story is more like memories, nostalgia."

After listening to Han Yan's words, He Hua didn't respond. These are the basic skills of a director. If you can't even distinguish the core of the story, you'd be a bad director.

He continued to ask: "If it was handed over to you, how would you shoot it?"

Han Yan thought for a while and said:
"The story is very simple, just plain and straightforward. I think the picture should be richer, and some life plots should be added to the story so that it doesn't seem so loose."

Seeing that He Hua nodded and seemed to agree with his point of view, he was even more motivated: "I have read your book, and I think your idea of ​​inserting comics in the middle is very good. I think movies are also fine. We can add more characters when introducing characters. Some."

ah?How does it feel that the painting style has completely changed, He Hua quickly stopped:
"Let's put this inserted manga for a while, let's talk about the overall style first"

The two chatted for about an hour, and the interview ended when He Hua felt that he had fully understood Han Yan's thoughts.

Seeing that He Hua was sending him away, Huang Lan hurried over and asked:

"How? Is it okay?"

He Hua shook his head:
"His use of color is too strong, and his desire to tell is too strong, and he wants to express more things, which will deviate from the whole story."

"However, the level is still there. In the future, if there is a suitable subject, you can find him."

The two walked into He Hua's office step by step.

After hearing He Hua's words, Huang Lan didn't complain any more, but kept staring at He Hua thoughtfully.

He Hua looked a little embarrassed, so he could only apologize and said with a smile:
"Look for it again, you look for it again, anyway, our project is not in a hurry."

Huang Lan looked at He Hua with piercing eyes, shook her head and said:
"You don't need to look for it. I know someone who is very suitable. He can definitely grasp the style of the movie."

"Really, who is it?" He Hua asked curiously.

"you!"

"Sister Lan, stop joking, hurry up and ask if there is anyone else who can do it." He Hua walked back to his seat and sat down.

Huang Lan walked to He Hua's desk, looked at him and said seriously:

"Hua Zi, I'm not joking, I have thought about it seriously."

"When it comes to understanding the story, who is better than you who wrote the script."

"Let's talk about directing ability. Although you haven't really directed before, which of the directors we have worked with hasn't praised you? You really have this talent, you have to trust us."

And with the title of "He Hua's Transformational Directorial Debut", he can save a lot of money in publicity. Thinking of this, Huang Lan worked harder to persuade her boss.

He Hua was a little moved by Huang Lan's words. Of course he thought about becoming a director himself, but he didn't think so soon. He also wanted to try his hand at making a TV series first.

But this project is really not that difficult.

"Let me think."
