Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 267 The gang needs a "project manager"

A new banner was hung at the gate of Beijing Film Academy again.

During the military training for freshmen, it is hard not to be attracted by a group of people in green camouflage.

“Isn’t it just hanging a banner? That’s normal!” said a senior student.

"Since I entered school in 06, I first saw the Golden Palm banner of senior Jie Cheng, followed by the Golden Lion banner of Director Jia, and then the Golden Bear banner of Director Wang."

"Now it's back to the past. Senior Jiecheng won the Golden Lion."

After a pause, he added proudly,

"The Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy don't have any, but we at the Beijing Film Academy have always had enough!"

"Emmm, but we have the top three movie actors and actresses in Europe next door, but we don't." The voice suddenly came out from nowhere, like a bucket of ice water that instantly extinguished everyone's enthusiasm.

silence!

Keep silent!

"So what? People should live in the present and not dwell on the achievements of history! Apart from anything else, Jing Tian, a junior from our acting department, can suppress the Shanghai Theatre Academy next door!"

The atmosphere was warm again.

A simple sense of honor also arises again.

It is our responsibility to revitalize the Department of Performance!

"Emmm, I heard that Senior Jing Tian only came to the classroom occasionally during the freshman year, and later..."

He stopped talking halfway, and everyone looked up at the same time, following Jing Tian as she passed by. Her figure gradually walked away, and finally disappeared in the direction of the Photography Academy.

It was like a bucket of liquid nitrogen falling on your head, chilling you to the bone and making your heart soar.

Looking at this group of young faces, Guo Fan, who was passing by, couldn't help laughing.

Wow, the acting department is really interesting.

He is indeed the representative of “not doing his job properly” in the industry!

As I was thinking about it, I was suddenly stunned and the smile froze on the corner of my mouth.

Wait, it seems like I’m not doing my job properly either!

Although he majored in law, he borrowed some heavy equipment from the school TV station to shoot short literary films, and thus became the only "outlaw" in the law school of Qiong Province University.

Scratched his head.

Wait, it seems like I’m still not doing my job properly!
Graduate students in management are thinking about how to direct a movie
and many more!

Isn’t the main focus of Beijing Film Academy just about not doing your job properly?
Except for the Department of Performance, all other departments are doing their jobs! The Department of Photography is doing it, the Department of Literature is doing it, and the Department of Management is also doing it!

Thinking of this, Guo Fan suddenly felt normal.

You've come to the right place! Beijing Film Academy is truly a great place!

I smiled again and glanced at the banners. Not only were they hung on the school gate, but they were also decorated on the campus.

“Warmly congratulate our outstanding graduate Zhen Jiecheng for winning the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the 66th Venice Film Festival!”

"How amazing! He's only 27, two years younger than me!" Guo Fan exclaimed.

I feel more and more regretful that the directing department of Beijing Film Academy had no enrollment plan in Shandong Province in 99, otherwise I would have been able to be on the same level as this great director!

He smacked his lips, and after a brief moment of regret, he quickly cheered himself up.

It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. You are only 29, there is a lot that can be done!
Thinking of this, Guo Fan regained his confidence and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a large group of figures out of the corner of his eye.

The person in the lead is particularly eye-catching.

Not only because of the height, but also because of the youth!

"Dean, you're putting up banners and beating drums at the airport. I'm embarrassed!"

Zhen Jiecheng had a bitter face.
"Can you not pick me up at the airport next time? Especially don't let the kids give me flowers! With my character, I don't deserve it!"

"Next time? You still want a next time? You're so beautiful!" Senior Zhang Huijun rolled his eyes. "Are graduates and students on campus the same thing? If 'No Return' is not your graduation work created during your doctoral studies, at most we'll just put up a banner at the gate for you, but forget about anything else!"

"Emmm, what if I get the Golden Bear and collect all three?"

Zhang Huijun: (_`)
"What if I collect all three and then go to Oscar for a stroll?"

Zhang Huijun: (⊙_⊙)
I really want to refute: What sweet dreams are you dreaming about!

But when faced with Zhen Jiecheng's age, Zhang Huijun swallowed his saliva.

What if?
"Dean, I was just kidding! You don't really believe it, do you?"

Zhang Huijun: (｀⌒メ)
"Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang! Where's your slingshot?"

"Dean, please stop yelling. I'm wearing the same pair of shorts as the acting department!" Zhen Jiecheng grinned. "Teacher Wang Jinsong can't just take off his shorts and pull out the rubber band to make a slingshot, right?"

"That's right! Beijing Film Academy finally has a director who is willing to help his family. We in the Performance Department are busy protecting him, so how could we help you bully him!" Cui Xinqin raised her eyebrows, "But you, Dean Z, if the glass in your office is broken one day, remember to come to the Performance Department to claim compensation!"

Wang Jinsong was too embarrassed to interrupt, but Cui Xinqin dared.

Faced with this elder sister who was also from Class 78, Zhang Huijun, even as the dean, was helpless and quickly begged for mercy.

Amid laughter, everyone walked into the campus and came under the attention of the students.

As he walked, Zhen Jiecheng paused slightly and a somewhat familiar face came into his sight.

Guo Fan?

Guo Fan!!!

"Dean, you know me well." Retracting his gaze, Zhen Jiecheng immediately spoke, "I have always been duty-bound to contribute to my alma mater!"

"How about this, I haven't substituted for a class in a while! This time I'll give my juniors a few more classes."

"Oh? What do you want to talk about?" Zhang Huijun asked.

"I chatted with my Hollywood colleagues in Venice and became interested, so I went to learn about some cutting-edge technologies in the film industry. For example, 3D cameras, virtual cameras, motion and expression capture, the latest photography systems, etc."

"You want to shoot a science fiction movie?" Director Tian suddenly asked before Zhang Huijun could react.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Not only were everyone curious, but Guo Fan, who was not far away, also pricked up his ears.

"Terminator 91" was released in 2, but Guo Fan didn't get to see it until 95.

14 years have passed, but the passion of young people aroused by "Terminator 2" is still flowing.

Science fiction film! This has been Guo Fan’s ultimate dream since he was 15 years old.

"Teacher, why do you think so?" Zhen Jiecheng asked in surprise.

"Nonsense! From the comedy of "Life Events" to the multi-linear narrative of "Nobody". From the literary montage of "Parasite" to the commercial action film "Taken", and finally the one-shot "No Return"! In such a long time, have you ever repeated the same genre?" Director Tian rolled his eyes, "It's just like when you were dating, you changed it up in a hurry!"

"Don't even mention science fiction. I wouldn't be surprised if you go off and make a pornographic movie someday."

"As long as I don't make a fool of myself on screen by directing or acting in it, I can accept it!"

Zhen Jiecheng:ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

"Ahem! Teacher, you are really good at judging people!"

"I do have the idea of making a science fiction film, but it's just an idea for now."

"So I just talk to the younger students in the school through substitute teaching. If there is a student that satisfies me, my team will reserve a position for him when we launch the project in the future."

Science fiction is not an art film, and a director can shoot it alone with a camera.

Science fiction requires a large group and partners to center around the director and execute the director's will.

"Well, Jiecheng, you used the wrong word." Zhang Huijun interrupted Zhen Jiecheng, "It's not substitute teaching, it's teaching!" "The letter of appointment is with your teacher, you can go and sign it later."

"No, I." Zhen Jiecheng was interrupted again before he could finish his words.

"What do you mean by 'I'? Just sign when I ask you to. Why are you talking so much?" Director Tian glared at him.

"Teacher! What I mean is that I just graduated, and it's not appropriate for me to be an assistant professor directly."

Teaching assistant? Lecturer? Zhen Jiecheng skipped the question without even thinking about it. If Beijing Film Academy had given him this offer letter, the directing and photography departments would have torn it up and thrown it back without Zhen Jiecheng even asking.

Zhen Jiecheng knows the answer from his P shares: he will be promoted to a full-time position after working for a few years.

Just like when you were a student, you can go to class when you want to, and go out when you want to. Art schools focus on freedom.

There are many reasonable "reasons" to skip work, such as closed-door creation, filming, post-production, and field research.

What pleasure does writing bring to Yu Hua? Of course, he must slack off at work!
When he was two hours late on purpose and found himself to be the first one to arrive at work, Yu Hua realized: I came to the right place! It’s great to be involved in culture and art!

So of course I have to take it!
On the surface, it seems that my alma mater is binding me, but if you think about it from another perspective, isn’t it me who has kidnapped my alma mater?
But for the sake of courtesy, we should be reserved and modest.

I refused and declined three times!
"Deputy teacher?" Zhang Huijun raised his eyebrows. "The orthodox teacher!"

"Orthodoxy?" Zhen Jiecheng was stunned.

I somehow thought of the conversation between Qi Tongwei and Chen Qingquan.

Compared with the surprise given by Director Qi, Beijing Film Academy was even more generous.

Although professional titles and administrative levels are two different systems, if we must compare them together.

The second and third level deputy teaching positions are benchmarked against deputy livestock, and the first level deputy teaching positions are benchmarked against regular livestock.

Shit! Did I transform directly?
"You're 27 now, and you'll be a serious professor in the future. Don't do that anymore."

"Teacher, don't worry. I promise to work diligently and educate people!" Finally returning to the acting department office, Zhen Jiecheng attentively handed over cigarettes, lit them, and poured tea, and put the golden lion on the desk. "Teacher, I don't have a place to put it at home for the time being. Please keep it for me for ten days or half a month."

"Don't give me these useless things!" Director Tian said with disdain, but did not refuse. "You can teach as you please, but you absolutely cannot educate people!"

"Please, teacher, let me save some of my worries!"

"If you really can't hold it in, just go to Nanluoguxiang next door. It's not a big deal over there."

As he spoke, Director Tian glanced at the golden lion.

"Do you think it's appropriate to put the golden lion on the table? It's like showing off!"

"Besides, this is such a valuable thing, don't bump into it when you look back."

"How about this, I'll go to the school exhibition hall and move a display case over. Of course, I'm not going to display it, I just want to help you keep it safe."

"Well, thank you very much, teacher!" Zhen Jiecheng thanked him quickly.

"Teacher is not afraid of trouble. Even if I help you keep it for three or five more days, it is not a big deal."

"I understand. Teacher, please keep it for me for another week." Zhen Jiecheng responded obediently.

The strong affection between teachers and students immediately spread in the office.

The air seemed to come alive, supporting the golden lion's wings, sparkling in the sun.

"Tell me about your ideas, do you really want to do science fiction?"

"Yes, I want to do it!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded. "Which director doesn't want to pick the jewel in the crown of the film industry?"

"Imaginative science fiction is simple, it's nothing more than taking shortcuts in conception. If it was a few years ago, it would be fine. But now, it's unnecessary."

"I haven't decided what the specific content will be, but there are three things that are certain."

"First, 3D+IMAX."

"Second, special effects."

"Third, rigorous physical laws and reasonable scientific logic."

"I understand." Director Tian shifted his gaze from the Golden Lion, and his expression became serious. "I'm not worried about the investment. I'm worried about the box office. Investment and pressure are directly proportional, especially for you!"

"Jie Cheng, you have never lost money, and you have never failed once. Are you ready?"

"It's done, teacher! It never failed before, and it won't fail this time either!"

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Director Tian continued to ask.

"No!" Zhen Jiecheng shook his head and stood up. "Just sit still and watch."

Hold a report meeting! Hold a symposium! Hold a press conference! Hold all kinds of meetings!
After being busy for nearly a week, Zhen Jiecheng finally took time off and fulfilled his promise to return to Beijing Film Academy to attend classes.

The tiered classroom was packed. Zhen Jiecheng took a quick look and quickly found Guo Fan in the corner, who would be called a top project manager in disguise by netizens in the future!

But in fact, this guy also upholds the "all-round" style of Beijing Film Academy directors.

Can write and draw.

He has a very good foundation in literature and is even better in painting.

Graphic design and comics are his specialties, and he has won awards for them. He even joined Lao Mouzi's crew with these skills when he was working in Beijing.

But to know what the actual skill is at the moment, one has to see it with one’s own eyes.

"Attend class!"

"Stand up~Hello, teacher!"

"Hello students!"

Zhen Jiecheng smiled and nodded, turned around and picked up the chalk.

Swish, swish, swish~ Four big characters written in a flamboyant and majestic style: Reunion of old friends!
"A, a buddy who has not seen each other for decades, accidentally learned about B and came to find him. Based on this topic, design and draw a storyboard. No lines, highlight the relationship between the characters."

Zhen Jiecheng said as he moved a chair over and sat down.

"Why are you all looking at me? Is there a picture on my face?"

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, including Guo Fan.

Hiss! Is this the great director? Is he so willful in class?
Hiss! The director is really awesome, he can be as willful as he wants!
Repeatedly gasping for air did not hinder Guo Fan's thinking.

Reunion?
Art equals depth, depth equals extreme.

So there are only two directions:

Passionate and unrestrained!
Reserved and restrained!
Comparing the two, the latter obviously has a longer aftertaste.

Once the idea is complete, start drawing.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

No, I think it would be better to add a little sense of distance.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

How about drawing the mid shot for comparison?
"Swish, swish, swish~"

Since there is enough time, I might as well draw the passionate storyboards as well.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

The students next to them were dumbfounded!

No, buddy, are you that fast?
