Because it is Sunday, there are too many students who are free.

After Zhang Yang arrived, he looked at the lecture hall from a distance and said nothing.

At this time, Principal Gong came to Zhang Yang quietly: "Zhang Yang, what do you think when you see this lecture hall?"

Zhang Yang turned around and saw Principal Gong. He immediately said hello and then pointed to the lecture hall: "Principal, no matter what kind of lecture hall is built in Beijing University, it is extraordinary. After all, it is full of humanistic atmosphere."

Principal Gong felt very good when he heard Zhang Yang's courtesy. He joked: "It's such a humanistic place. Do you regret not coming earlier?"

"I must regret it." Zhang Yang said in a strong voice without thinking.

Principal Gong laughed loudly after hearing this, stretched out his hand and said loudly: "Let's go, I will take you in."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, principal." The two of them walked to the backstage of the lecture hall while chatting and laughing.

Li An had already arrived. After everyone exchanged greetings, Zhang Yang and him walked onto the stage together. On the wall facing the audience, there was a huge dark red poster with the content and technology of the movie written on it.

There is also a smaller poster on the left and right sides that reads "Billy Lynn's Halftime Walk."

In the center of the stage was a white three-person sofa. In addition to two microphones, there were a few bottles of Nongfu Spring on a small round table in front of it. Unfortunately, it was not Zhang Yang's favorite Yibao.

The students started applauding as soon as Zhang Yang and Li An walked onto the stage. Zhang Yang waved to his classmates and then sat down.

After the two of them sat down, they each took a microphone and made an invitation gesture to each other.

Zhang Yang was the first to speak up when he saw this: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Yang. Today is my first time coming to Beijing University. I am very happy to meet all the classmates and chat with you about movies."

Li An also greeted everyone.

Zhang Yang spoke again after Li An said hello: "Today's theme is the content and technology of movies. I have always said that the essence of movies is to tell stories. Director Li must have a different opinion." After he finished speaking, he looked at Li An .

"Yes, I started to get into 3D from "Life of Pi". This movie's attempt gave me a lot of inspiration. It turns out that movies can still be like this.

Fortunately, it also achieved good results. On my first try, I achieved good results. "

"Yes, "Life of Pi" is beautifully shot, but the reason it achieved its original success is because of the story itself!

If this movie only has the first paragraph of the story, no matter how beautiful the picture is, it will just be an ordinary movie.

It is the story in the second paragraph that sublimates the whole movie, and the second paragraph does not require too many special effects," Zhang Yang disagreed.

"It won the Oscar for Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects. From a technical perspective, it was a success."

"The highest Oscar award is Best Feature Film." Zhang Yang reminded him with a normal expression.

The students in the audience all laughed after hearing this.

In the year of "Life of Pi," the Oscar for Best Feature Film went to Zhang Yang's "Parasite."

"Actually, when I was filming "Life of Pi," I found that 24 frames was a bit unbearable.
It was at that time that I began to wonder why movies must be 24 frames per second.
I don’t understand technology at all, so I asked people who understand technology to help me solve technological problems.

There is now the 4K120 frame "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk".

I believe that when technology is shocking to a certain extent, it can bring something different to the movie. "Although Li An said it modestly, his tone was very sure.

"People say that distance creates beauty. Your new technology allows every pore of the character to be clearly seen on the screen, but it hinders the storytelling of the movie." Zhang Yang shook his hand and retorted.

“But the sense of immersion this creates for the audience is unique.”

"What is the core of your movie "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk"?" Zhang Yang asked with a language trap.

"The humanistic spirit brought about by new technologies." Although Li An always smiles, he is actually very smart. How could he be fooled.

"Does the humanistic spirit have to pass through new technologies?" Zhang Yang couldn't understand.

“No matter what the movie is, in the end it’s all about human feelings.

We still have to serve the art, the story, the characters, and the drama.

I have never felt that technology is on one side and art is on the other side. Making art has to be extremely simple, or just content.

I think the opinion is as important as the content. How you look at it is very important to me.

Films have not been reformed for a long time. Director Zhang, you feel the same way! "

"I don't have this feeling. If you dig deeper into the details in the movie, it will be like a treasure that cannot be exhausted." Zhang Yang denied it.

In fact, Zhang Yang also feels a little bit like this, but he won't admit it here.

"What you said makes sense, but there are only a few directors in the world who can dig deeper. It's better to explore new technologies.
As the top directors in the industry, we must pave the way for those who come after us. This is a must-have responsibility. If we don’t do it, who will do it? "Li An said sonorously and forcefully.

What he said made the students at Peking University want to applaud. It was so well said.

“The current actual situation is that new technologies such as 3D have not been applied on a large scale, but have become tools for many businessmen to make money.

Nowadays, 3D domestic specials have appeared in many movies. As soon as this new technology you mentioned comes out, how many people will make something specious and label it to make money. "

What Zhang Yang said was a bit unreasonable. Li An was talking about ideals, but he started talking about money. But if it can resonate with most people present, then he will be invincible.

Although the conversation between the two men that followed was dull, it was full of wit, and the Beijing University students who came here today listened with gusto.

More than half an hour passed, and neither of them could convince the other. The students who listened felt that both of them made sense, but the impact of the two theories made them feel like their heads were going to explode.

Finally, Zhang Yang took the microphone and said helplessly: "Let's talk about this for today. If we continue talking, it will probably take three days and three nights."

Li An also smiled and nodded: "Okay, but this is a dialogue for my movie, you should give it a blessing!"

Zhang Yang turned around and thought for a while: "If you go to watch this movie, just watch the 60-frame version, or the 24-frame version. This way the story will be stronger. Anyway, there are only five cinemas in the world with 120-frame version."

Zhang Yang's words made everyone, including Li An, burst into laughter. He was still silently insisting on his point of view.

Then there was the student question and answer session. The first person to grab the opportunity was a boy. He took the microphone and asked Zhang Yang questions. "Director Zhang Yang, I particularly agree with your point of view, but how do you currently shoot special effects movies like "Skyscraper" and "The Meg"?" the student asked sharply. He felt that Zhang Yang had degenerated by making these movies.

This question didn't bother Zhang Yang at all. He held the microphone with a calm expression: "I just oppose the excessive pursuit of new technologies. There is no need to excessively pursue new technologies, but it cannot be left behind.

You may have forgotten that I helped establish Tengxun Special Effects, the largest special effects company in China. "

But the student refused: "Yes, the special effects are already available, so it would be pointless for you to continue filming them."

Many people in his presence nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yang felt that this group of people was a bit difficult to deal with, but he could still deal with them.

"I wonder if you have noticed a phenomenon. Lao Mouzi and Zou Jing only collaborate, Feng Tongtong collaborates with Liu Zhenyun, and Chen Shi and Jiang Wen are both co-writers.

Except for the original "Beautiful Mind", "Under the Peonies" and the recent "Joker", I wrote all my films from scratch.

Writing scripts is like charging and discharging. It is impossible for me to return to the state I was in more than ten years ago. I need to make some relaxing movies to change my mind. "

"Can travel change your brain?" Suddenly a voice said loudly.

Yes, I don’t know how many photos were taken of Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei during their trip to Huangshan. They just didn’t make the trending search for scarves, but they were widely circulated in Weixin’s circle of friends.

"Of course." Zhang Yang nodded firmly.

The students who heard his answer immediately fell silent when they saw Zhang Yang being so confident.

Afterwards, everyone asked a few more questions, and this Beijing University dialogue ended here.

When Zhang Yang and Li An arrived backstage, they couldn't help but chat with the school leaders again before going home.

The conversation between Zhang Yang and Li An was circulated on the Internet the next day, but what stood out the most was Zhang Yang's unhesitating affirmative answer to the statement that traveling can change your brain, which many people found very interesting.

Time soon came to November. On the morning of the 9th, while Zhang Yang was watching his son playing at home, Liu Yifei came here with Zhao Liying after finishing her morning exercise.

"Director Zhang." Zhao Liying greeted.

Zhang Yang nodded to her, and Zhao Liying quickly went over to tease Zhang Hongyi.

However, Zhang Hongyi was not very familiar with her, so the results were not as good as Tang Yan.

After a while, Zhang Yang asked his aunt to look at the child, and the three of them went to the hall to sit and chat.

"Why are you willing to take a break recently?" Liu Yifei joked to Zhao Liying. Currently, she is in a desperate threesome mode. Filming takes place 365 ​​days a year, 360 days a year.

"I just finished filming "The Legend of Chu Qiao" at the end of last month. I went home to rest for a few days, and I just wanted to come and see my aunt."

"Where's your mother?" Zhang Yang asked when Zhao Liying specifically mentioned Liu's mother.

"She went out and will be back at noon."

"It's okay if Auntie is busy." Zhao Liying quickly shook her hand.

"She's not busy."

Time soon came to noon, and it was lunch for five people at home.

Mother Liu may not have seen Zhao Liying much, so she was quite happy chatting with her.

"You came to the capital specifically to see me. Do you want to be so polite?"

"I'll also take care of myself."

"Recuperate what?" Liu's mother felt something was wrong.

"I accidentally injured my lumbar spine while filming "A Thousand Bones of Flowers". Although it was treated in time, it still hurts from time to time. It recurred this time when filming "The Legend of Chu Qiao"."

In fact, Zhao Liying has gotten much better in this life. Her lumbar vertebrae are like those of actors who have used too many wires.

In my last life, I was miserable. I fell down while filming the movie "Agarwood" and I didn't get treatment in time. There was a big bulge on my spine.

"It's time to take a good rest. How long will it take?" Liu's mother asked with concern.

"Let's take another 10 days off. I'm going to join the team again."

"You don't want your life?"

"This time I play the king of the daughter's kingdom, there is no action scene at all." Zhao Liying explained with a smile.

"King of the Daughter Kingdom?" Zhang Yang muttered to himself after hearing her words.

"Yes, it's the Journey to the West series that director Xiangjiang made in two parts." Zhao Liying spoke in detail after hearing Zhang Yang's soliloquy.

What Zhang Yang was thinking was that Zhao Liying's bad relationship was about to begin. She and Feng Shaofeng met in this movie.

"The heroine of the previous film seems to be Gong Li, and this resource is pretty good." Liu Yifei analyzed from the side.

Zhao Liying herself is quite satisfied. She has been too popular recently, otherwise this resource would not be available to her.

After lunch, when everyone continued chatting, they somehow got talking about Yang Zi.

"She has been busy dating recently, and she will be as happy as she wants." Zhao Liying said casually.

"How did you know?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"She was filming in other places, but she suddenly arrived at Hengdian yesterday. I only found out about that grilled fish restaurant when my assistant told me about it. She was explained to Qin Jun, the one who played Zeng Shushu in "Qingyun Zhi" ”
