Chapter 516 The Fifth Round of Comments and Reactions (3)
"Now that I have mentioned this, I will digress a little more. At this stage, you must gradually realize what a 'director' actually represents and means."
Yue Yang's tone was gentle, and his expression was full of the satisfaction and emotion of the seniors watching the juniors, "You who came from a professional background learned systematic theoretical systems, common shooting techniques, etc. in school, and then in this program, you put what you learned into Put things into practice, and at the same time start to make overall plans, pull together a crew, a team, and constantly run in during this process, not only with teammates, but also with myself, and find a unique personal style."
"You have to abandon some procedural and step-by-step things on the basis of knowledge. Just like when your teacher in school will tell you to take a picture of a giant beast suddenly emerging from the calm water, this place should show the suddenness and create a frontal view. Face-off shots are the best. This kind of frightening design is the easiest to capture the audience's emotions in an instant.
"Then what if I use another method? For example, I would first take a profile shot of the protagonist smiling and talking to someone. Then the background sound effects will stop and the atmosphere will gradually become different. The protagonist sees the face of the person opposite him change, so he responds by himself. Looking over, the camera follows the protagonist's perspective - it turns out that a giant beast has appeared behind him.
"The 'optimal solution' and 'popular solution' in textbooks are not necessarily the most appropriate. Just like the two examples I gave just now, they are not good or bad, and they can both achieve their goals. So the final decision is which one to choose. It’s you as the director.
"That's why I say that you must first stand on the basis of school knowledge, practice on the one hand, and abandon on the other. Only in this way can you gradually discover a 'point' that suits you best through countless attempts, and then you can have a personal touch. And only when you have a clear enough personal style, can you continue to choose, when shooting a work, whether to let your style be greater than the story and interpret them in 'your unique way', or whether to let the story and the story match the story. For the charm of the character, find a relatively balanced tone.
"Let's go back to "Feiyan"."
Yue Yang took a sip of water and continued, "The overall shooting of this film is very stable, and the camera movements and cuts related to action scenes are also more realistic - I suggest you thank the actors. If it weren't for the fight scenes between Qin Jue and Chen Danqing, It's tough enough, if you shoot it with this technique, it will definitely show off."
"So such a realistic and detailed style seems to be fragmented when faced with the romantic scenes of classical martial arts. Whether it is the Xue Yu clip or Shen Danqing falling off a cliff, there is still a lot of room for improvement in shooting. .
"Don't be afraid when it comes to this. I find that new directors often make a mistake, which is to leave most of the 'overall pressure' to themselves under the premise that the team should perform their own duties. What does that mean? That is, you will feel , Hey, this is what the artist has to do, and that is what the artist has to do, but as a director, the overall tone and style, including how to shoot this camera, how to light that, these are all mine. I can't let go of my work at all.
"But that's not the case. As a director, even if you leave everything to others to do, for example, there is a dreamy and romantic scene here, hey, I will leave it to an executive director who is good at this. You can shoot, but you have control over the overall shots and editing, and you review and produce it, so the output is still your work.
"Because everyone completes all the work according to your requirements, the subject is you."
Yue Yang took another sip of water, "What do we call this mentality? Party A's mentality."
"You can leave the work to others. What should you do if you are not satisfied during the inspection? If you are not satisfied, then change it. If you are still not satisfied, then continue to change it. Keep changing it until you get the effect you want. Even if it is not you Go and work on it yourself, and the film will still be your work.”
【Fuck】
[I was stunned for a moment after hearing this]
[This is really the case, the working party will understand it as soon as they hear it]
[Teacher Yue Yang is really good at speaking]
[The transition from Party B to Party A...]
[Is this teaching Qu Nan not to "student thinking"? 】
[Yes, yes, this is the real control of the overall situation]
[I think Yue Yang is too condescending. How can a recent graduate like Qu Nan be so lucky to be the chief director as soon as he debuts? It’s useless to say this, he is so ambitious]
[What you said before is meaningless. The senior's advice is reasonable. Doesn't Yue Yang know Qu Nan better than you? 】
On the stage of "Entertainment Intern", Qu Nan was as well educated as some of the audience members who posted the barrage. She bowed to Yue Yang seriously and took these few words of his to heart and digested them.
“Finally, let’s talk about a shortcoming and a bright spot.”
Yue Yang thought for a while, "The disadvantage is that the power struggle between Li Zhi and Li Zhe is too childish. The connection between Shen Danqing and Xue Yu is relatively stiff, as if it was arranged, and there are some dramas, but considering the rules of this round and restrictions, I think it’s okay.”
"In terms of highlights, the image of the 'tweeting' swallows has been highlighted from the very beginning. This design is very good. At the end when they both fell off the cliff, the ink special effect 'flying swallows holding the pen' was eye-catching, and the emotional rhythm was also It was well controlled, just like the action scenes I mentioned earlier. It didn’t drag on, and it stopped when it needed to. It’s worthy of recognition.”
"Okay, I won't say any more, I'll take up some time." Yue Yang said with a smile, "And I see the person next to me has been holding it in for a long time..."
Lin Yuqin laughed together with the audience.
"Thank you, Teacher Yue Yang, for your teaching! It's very practical. I think our Qu Nan has also benefited a lot." Lin Yuqin quickly brought the topic to the next aspect, "Now, I would like to ask Teacher Zhu Zishu to comment!"
Zhu Zishu smiled and helped Mike: "Oh, I can't hold it in anymore."
Amid laughter, he continued:
"First of all, I have a question to ask Qin Jue."
Qin Jue took the microphone from Qu Nan: "Please speak."
"What was your state of mind when you were playing the role of Qin Feiyan?"
Qin Jue pondered for two seconds: "In summary, there are only two sentences."
Zhu Zishu nodded and looked at her seriously.
"The first sentence is, 'Everyone is fake, only I am real.'" Qin Jue said.
"The second sentence is, 'Everyone is true, only I am false.'" She added.
Zhu Zishu and Ruan Ziyan smiled at the same time.
"What kind of story do you think "Feiyan" is?" Zhu Zishu asked.
"An ordinary person is struggling between blending in and escaping." Qin Jue said softly.
Zhu Zishu was silent for a while and sighed with emotion.
"I feel like I have nothing to say," he joked. "This sentence sums it up very accurately."
Lin Yuqin smiled and praised: "No, we are all still confused."
"Then let me tell you something." Zhu Zishu said with a smile, "I don't deny Director Zeng's description. "Feiyan" is indeed a common male protagonist work. It has common shortcomings, such as the male protagonist and everyone. Each important supporting role is closely related, and his importance in the plot is overemphasized, but similarly, I think the role of Qin Feiyan is a relatively rare breakthrough."
“As Qin Jue said himself, Qin Feiyan is just an ordinary person.
"Let me confirm first. The game with this background setting is a holographic online game, right?"
Seeing Qu Nan nod, Zhu Zishu continued, "Such a setting is very clever. It rationalizes the previous plot of the male protagonist, and at the same time sublimates the irony of the entire work. The level of thought is far more than just a cool article. , or a period film that combines martial arts and machinations.”
"'Time travel' is now popular in online literature. This kind of collision between different eras and cultures is very popular with the audience, but "Feiyan" has made an article on the 'time travel game', exploring the truth and falsehood.
"Because Qin Feiyan is a player, he can completely look at the world from a God's perspective. As long as he wants, he can have countless beauties, he can become a king, he can become a devil, and there is nothing wrong with even becoming the emperor himself. But We all know he didn't do that.
"Why? Because he is an ordinary person - he has a moral bottom line. He feels guilty for attacking Shen Danqing with a clear game purpose early in the game with a player's mentality. He is timid, scared and lonely because he is trapped here, and he looks forward to one day. Ordinary people who leave the game and return to reality will find it ridiculous and boring to show off their power in the game.
"Such ordinary and ordinary people are the rarest of them all."
Zhu Zishu's eyes slowly swept over everyone including Lin Yuqin who looked thoughtful, "Perhaps there are so many people like this in life that when we conceive the work, we always make the protagonist different, what? The aura of domination is fully unleashed, or the brain circuit is different from other people, etc. We portray protagonists who are beyond ordinary people and try to make them as perfect as possible to satisfy our own fantasies and obtain spiritual pleasure, but we often ignore ordinary people. advantages and disadvantages.”
"Qin Feiyan said to Li Zhi, 'I wish I could die on my own,' and then said, 'I am a coward, greedy for life and afraid of death, so I live for the rest of my life.' This is really the clearest portrayal of an ordinary person. He can't stand that everyone is an NPC. He couldn't convince himself to fully integrate into the world. He hoped deep down in his heart that he could be freed from this boundless feeling of loneliness and exclusion, but he didn't dare to commit suicide. He still looked forward to being rescued from the game one day. So he was Trapped in a self-imposed prison, repeatedly tortured.
"Contradictory, pitiful, sad, but worthy of respect...
"Take Shen Danqing as an example. When Qin Feiyan realized that he had been trapped in the game, and everything around him was so real and vivid, and became a real 'world', his loyalty and persistence in love forced him to He couldn't face Shen Danqing - because he felt that he was a bad man who lusted after her. He couldn't convince himself to accept Shen Danqing's love calmly like a lawless winner with a complete sense of superiority.
"Even if Shen Danqing forgives him, he still can't forgive himself.
"It's obviously a game, but Qin Feiyan is often moved by his true feelings. Li Zhi and Shen Danqing are his sun and moon, and his friends all over the world are his stars. Only then has he been struggling between 'truth and falsehood' for a long time. , he is also confused, and every time he is immersed in it, he is always pulled out of his self-deception by the reality of the game screen. He lives a very hard life. It is hard just because he is an ordinary person."
Zhu Zishu smiled and shook his head:
"This kind of irony is permeated through every detail. I really want to say that if "Feiyan" was a TV series, I would definitely become a loyal viewer. For this type of work, the longer the duration and the richer the details, the more The more it allows people to taste the bitterness.
"Take the title of the film for example. After seeing the ending, we all know that 'Feiyan' originally refers to the male protagonist's game nickname. But while playing games, or walking around the world, this name was mistaken for He fell in love with the carefree Yanzi and became Qin Feiyan from then on.
"However, being suddenly trapped in the game world has turned this flying swallow into a 'returning goose' who misses his hometown but has no home. This has to be said to be a kind of irony... The player 'Feiyan' enjoys the pleasure of playing the game The freedom and ease have been worn away bit by bit in the long period of loneliness and self-torture, and in the end, it turned out to be a 'returning goose', which is regrettable."
[When the judges said this, I was even more upset]
[I think I will definitely have a complicated mood when I re-purchase items...]
[After reading the details just now, I have to say that Qu Nan is really weird about details. How come he has laid so much groundwork?]
[People who have watched palace battles and power plot dramas all year round said that some of the plots are really ridiculous and blunt, but the details are really well done]
[It suddenly occurred to me that no wonder Qin Guiyan looked so bored when he was blocked in the teahouse and drank poisonous tea. It turned out that he was not pretending to be cool, he was really bored]
[That’s right, this is equivalent to a group of mobs in their twenties coming to attack full-level players. If it were me, this would be unreasonable.]
[Although the judges are all talking about the male protagonists, I feel that although Shen Danqing and Li Zhi are NPCs, they are also very vivid. Even if they are regarded as ordinary ancient dramas, it is good]
[This is true, it hurt me so much when Li Zhi betrayed our friendship. . . 】
[I think "Feiyan" focuses on emotional changes. The emotions of each character are quite distinct. It's just that the emphasis is different]
[It makes sense, after all, the time is only a few dozen minutes]
[It would be nice if the photo could be taken longer]
【Just wait for the highlights! I want to see the behind-the-scenes footage of Qin Jue Diao Weiya and her white hair! 】
In the barrage that was still active after the work had finished playing, Zhu Zishu in the picture smiled and said:
"I believe many people may not care about this setting, because the previous ups and downs of the plot and the entanglement of love and hate are already attractive enough. Yes, this is also an advantage, an advantage that can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people - you don't need to analyze it like me, and you can still understand it. I enjoyed it because of the ups and downs of the plot, the well-designed persuasion, the actors' acting skills, and the action scenes."
"In this regard, although there are still flaws, I think "Feiyan" is an excellent work."
He suddenly showed a sly smile: "Teacher Lin, do you think I will leave the foreshadowing worth exploring to the audience, or will I spoil it for everyone now?"
