Chapter 210 Little Pepper (Please subscribe for the third update!)
"Director Liu, is there any theme for this lecture, and which aspect is it mainly about?"

Tang An asked as he walked towards the school.

Occasionally, a few students hurried past to say hello and nodded their heads.

"Director Tang, you can do whatever you want. We have prepared the CDs of your past four films. We will talk about acting, photography, lighting, and dubbing, and then leave some time for students to ask questions!" Director Liu laughed.

"Well, I'm free to play, but I haven't been to college, so it may be a little different from what's in the book, just don't mislead the students!" Tang An said modestly.

Although the Beijing Film Academy is just a school, this place has a lot to do with it. After all, nearly half of the stars and directors in the entire entertainment circle come from here.

A teacher next to him suddenly said, "Director Tang didn't go to college, but he can still achieve what he is today. It's amazing!"

There is nothing wrong with this statement, normally it is a compliment.

However, in his overly surprised tone, he also deliberately emphasized the first half of the sentence, which means several things!
"This teacher praised me, it's just luck!" Tang An said lightly.

"Then Director Tang should have time to recharge his batteries. He has not systematically studied directing, and he will ignore many details, which is not perfect."

The man began to preach, and the implication was that Ye Luzi was not professional enough.

Tang An didn't say a word, and let him talk, anyway, just pretend there was a mosquito in his ear.

"Director Tang, this is Teacher Yu from the Directing Department, and a senior teacher in our school." Director Liu introduced.

Seeing that Tang An was silent, the man began to comment on Tang An's films.

"Actually, "The Wind" is a bit of a pity. In some places, the method is not perfect, and the logic is somewhat different. Why everyone said they didn't know during the interrogation, and only Bai Xiaonian insisted that it was Jin who made the fire. This is very puzzling. No explanation was given afterward.”

Rory talked about a lot of things that seemed to be loopholes. Tang An even suspected that he didn't watch the movie at all, but only read the movie reviews and the introduction of the plot!
Just arrived at the dean's office, Tang An didn't explain anything to him, wasting his saliva.

After saying hello to Dean Zhang, having a sip of tea, and chatting politely, it was almost time to rush to the lecture theater.

The teacher said a few more words along the way, and despite Director Liu's repeated hints, he remained indifferent, as if he was very proud of Tang An's words.

Tang An suddenly stood still, and turned to look at him, "Teacher, I think you can watch the movie carefully, and if you are careful, you may be able to find the answer!"

"I still have to give lectures, so I won't explain much!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored him and walked straight into the classroom, leaving the teacher with a flushed face behind.

Director Liu looked at Tang An's back and sighed, "Old Yu, what do you think you are doing!"

The teacher said sternly, "The dean doesn't know how to do it. If such a young director Ye Luzi is invited to give a lecture, he probably doesn't even understand the most basic concepts of directors!"

What's the use of understanding the concept? I don't know how many directors are invited to give lectures every year. Everyone who opens and shuts their mouths is art, just like teaching materials!

Director Liu sighed secretly, now we need this kind of director who can succeed at the box office, so that students can understand what kind of actors, photographers, and lighting engineers are needed to be a director who can sell box office
They followed in Tang An's footsteps and walked into the auditorium together.

There were quite a lot of people, students from seven or eight majors came, and there were also students from other schools.

Director Liu walked up to the podium, straightened the microphone, coughed and said, "Students, please be quiet. Today we have invited director Tang An, who has directed excellent films such as "The Wind" to give you a lecture."

"Everyone is welcome!"

Director Liu hadn't finished speaking when there was a lot of discussion from the audience.

In the middle area, several girls are sitting together.

"Wow, Tang An looks so handsome, he looks so young!"

"Director Tang has such a temperament, just standing there, his eyes will unconsciously look at him!"

"Young and handsome, and so talented. Take a look, see if my face is red!"

Yang Mi looked at the nympho looks on the faces of her girlfriends, and she was full of complacency, but she laughed and cursed, "Hey, Shanshan, Chenchen, Ahui, please don't be so nympho!"

"I'm a nympho, I'm happy, Mi Mi is jealous!"

If it weren't for being in the classroom, the few of them would probably have huddled together.

Tang An stepped onto the podium and looked at the students who were staring at him closely, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

However, he has long been used to his current status, chatting and laughing with the bosses of several major companies, a project can cost tens of millions, and he decides the fate of a major director and the role of a first-line star.

Dealing with a group of students who are still in the ivory tower and have not stepped into the society can no longer make him nervous.

Tang An smiled and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Tang An. I'm very glad to be able to come to the Film Academy to teach you today."

"Everyone here is the backbone of the film and television industry in the next decade or so."

Let me boast a few words first to make them happy, and it is estimated that no one will make trouble in the future.

The students in the audience obviously enjoyed it, and applauded vigorously, more enthusiastically than any previous class.

Beginning the formal lecture, Tang An turned on the laptop in front of him and played his first movie "Shark Shore".

"Everyone knows that this movie was not perfect in all aspects due to insufficient conditions when it was filmed. Whether it is the picture, lighting or special effects, it is a bit crude!"

Tang An didn't shy away from his shortcomings, and it wasn't something to be ashamed of.

Everyone knows that Tang An finished filming "Shark Shore" by himself, and watching it now is really a bit unbelievable.

"Director Tang, if I want to make a low-budget movie for theaters, what kind of subject do you think I should make?"

Before Tang An started to speak, someone broke the rules and asked questions first.

"Shoot the subject matter you can. Small-budget movies must have their selling points. For things that can catch people's attention, it is best to attract the audience through the title and poster. For example, "Shark Beach", a surfer on the sea Girl, there is a man-eating shark swimming in the water, which will make the audience interested, wondering how the heroine escaped from the shark's mouth!"

"And weak girls are more likely to arouse male audiences' desire for protection, and they will also make female audiences overflow with maternal love."

"Okay, if other students have questions, they can ask after the lecture is over!"

The girlfriends of Yang Mi among the crowd couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing Tang An's words.

"Hahaha, Mi Mi, do you think that if Director Tang saw your aggressive side, would he still say that?"

"I'm dying of laughter, so weak!"

"Come on, let sister touch it, where is it soft?"

"Obviously a little pepper, let you act as a weak girl, Mi Mi's acting skills are good, haha!"

"Ah, go to hell!" Yang Mi angrily grabbed two paws on one person.

Tang An was speechless watching Yang Mi who was fighting with his classmates on the stage. He probably didn't listen well in class.

Then Tang An dragged the movie to the scene of Yang Mi lying on the rock that night, and clicked pause!

"This shot was taken in the evening. At that time, we were shooting in an open-air pool. If we wanted to achieve the light effect of the sun just setting behind the mountain, what would everyone do?"

"Is there a student majoring in film and television lighting in the Department of Photography to share your thoughts?"
