my time as a director

Xu Zheng said, "I feel a little deliberate in that scene."

He walked to the wrong door in the middle of the night, but the husband came to arrest the adulterer, and the male protagonist was unlucky to be caught.

"Deliberately, it's a bit deliberate, but it doesn't matter what the plot itself is, the key is the scheduling of the shots."

Li Qian said with a smile, "Comedy and horror are the most extreme emotions of human beings. It is difficult to schedule the shots. Usually, many well-designed funny lines are used to replace the schedule, such as Yue Guang Bao Box is a typical example.

In fact, it is not all kinds of reversals and accidents that are the jokes. The story can be plain, but the camera scheduling determines whether it is exciting or not. In terms of comedy, the director of Xiangjiang is much better. Not to mention the most famous comedy directors, just Li Lichi The King of Destruction, starring Zhou Xingchi, is a very ordinary movie. The scene where Zhou Xingchi asks Wu Mengda for his apprenticeship is a very ordinary scene, but I haven't seen this kind of camera scheduling skills in domestic comedy movies. However, Ma Xiaogang couldn't even do it. "

Ma Xiaogang is a typical example of using lines to replace scheduling, but it is a positive example to the extreme, while other vulgar and funny films rely entirely on lines.

Lord of Destruction?

Xu Zheng was a little confused, Zhou Xingchi has a lot of good movies, why did he mention such a mediocre movie.

But Zhou Xingchi's movies, they have seen all of them at this age, let alone professional filmmakers, especially Xu Zheng is going to make comedies, and they have watched all of them before.

Thinking back carefully, the scene where Zhou Xingchi pays the tuition fee to Wu Mengda's apprenticeship seems to be a fixed shot with no characteristics.

A hand holds money and enters the painting from the left, voice-over: Master, tuition fees!

The other hand enters the painting from the right and is about to receive the money. Voiceover: En. . .

Zhou Xingchi quickly withdrew his hand: "Wait a minute!"

Wu Meng replied with a trembling hand: What are you doing? . .

Zhou Xingchi held the money tightly: These are all my hard-earned money!

Wu Mengda patted Zhou Xingchi's hand, opened his fingers one by one, and took the money: Oh, don't worry, I understand, I will train you to become a talent soon.

Zhou Xingchi's hand snatched the money back from Wu Mengda's hand: "Wait a minute!

Wu Meng's hand trembled again: What's the matter? . .

......

Xu Zheng thought about it for a while, it was a very simple scene, nothing unusual, the main reason was that Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda both had their own humor in their body movements and words.

However, after going through it carefully in my mind several times, I found something unusual again.

It can be said that this lens does not have any great skills, and a photographer can shoot it.

But even if there is no sound, just watch the subtitles and think of the two of them as other actors, the effect is not too bad.

A simple scene, the more you think about it, the more difficult it becomes.

"I didn't expect you, Director Li, to have such a deep research on comedy." Xu Zheng was amazed. People like him who have studied Zhou Xingchi's films didn't find anything strange about such ordinary scenes.

"I didn't study it specifically. When I have nothing to do, I just find a movie to watch. It's just a coincidence." Li Qian shook his head.

"I think Director Li knows so much about comedy that he should make a comedy. Comedy is the most watched movie." Xu Zheng said.

"With Brother Zheng here, there will be no shortage of comedies in China." Li Qian smiled.

......

Then the reaction of the audience also confirmed Li Qian's words.

When Xu Zheng was found wearing a red underpants and hiding behind the curtain, the audience couldn't contain their laughter.

"Oh, I laughed so hard, the adulterer really showed up, that girl must be stunned now."

"The red underpants are so sexy, Xu Zheng is still protecting his chest."

"I think it should be replaced with green underwear here, it's really amazing."

"Haha, I found a mistress by myself, and now I'm treated as a mistress. It's a natural cycle."

......

It is very impolite to talk and laugh in a movie theater, but many times when encountering funny places, I can’t help but laugh out loud and whisper to my companions, which is especially obvious in a silent movie theater.

As the movie unfolds, some small laughs haven't been heard much from the opening scene.

On the screen, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang chased the female liar to a yard. Looking at the dilapidated outer wall, it was a kindergarten.

The female liar is a kindergarten teacher. This run-down kindergarten is full of abandoned children. It is not so much a kindergarten as an orphanage.

The female teacher can't find money everywhere, and the people above don't do anything. If there is no money, no one will believe you if you tell people outside, and no one cares, so you can only come out to beg and cheat.

There are some changes from the original version. In the eyes of the audience, this must be an exaggeration, but as far as China is concerned, there are actually many such things.

The year before last, CCTV and many TV stations broadcast an advertisement. A simple and honest middle-aged man was struggling to climb the stairs with a bag of grain on his back. The voice-over of the advertisement uttered a low voice: I am a parent of 103 children. There is no way out for studying, the school is built by itself, and the teachers themselves are...

The parents of 103 children, a middle-aged man, opened a school for street children.

The fireworks and firecrackers in the neighbor's house exploded due to improper storage methods, which seriously affected his family.The wife was bruised all over her body, and it became a luxury to even get out of bed with her shoes on. The child's delicate face was almost disfigured, unable to eat from his mouth, and he was burned.

Later, he carried his wife who could not walk on his back and led his sick and disabled children to live on the streets, begging for a living, and the family was dying.

In the end, the China Charity Federation helped their family, paid for their treatment, and opened the school after their life returned to normal.

It is much more difficult for an ordinary person who once faced desperation to afford the life and education of 103 children than the female teacher in the movie.

There is reality, but it looks clichéd in a movie, and there is no way to do it. Commercial movies, especially commercial movies that show positivity, are unavoidable.

Immediately after leaving the kindergarten, the two saw a lottery and won a van.

Seeing this, Li Qian shook his head secretly, "Brother Zheng, this is a mediocre plot, and it is expressed with mediocre scheduling."

Xu Zheng was not angry when his hard-working film was criticized, after all, he was a rookie director, and Li Qian was indeed a famous director with a box office of over [-] million.

Some students who are still in school may not be able to accept others saying anything bad about his works, and only listen to criticism, but Xu Zheng is not.

"Director Li, how to deal with this, how to get this car?" Xu Zheng asked modestly.

"The method is still the same. This kind of lottery can be won in many places, especially in the county and the countryside in our country, where motorcycles and TV are common."

Li Qian thought for a while, and then said, "The two of you were walking on the street, talking about having no money to withdraw money, and suddenly one of you looked ahead, so you went to draw a car by lottery. The motivation of this character is too deliberate. , It's like rushing to the lottery prize.

This place should slow down a little longer, the camera freezes, one of them is going to the bank or going to the toilet or something, and the other is just looking around with nothing to do.

The character of Baoqiang is kind-hearted but stingy and likes to be greedy for small things. For example, when you go to withdraw money, he is hanging around here. He is attracted by the sound of a publicity horn to watch, and he finds that there is such a two-dollar draw In the place of the car, when you come back, you will be dragged to draw a lottery. No matter what you as a successful person say, this is a lie, he will draw.

Some details in the movie are very important, if they are too many, they are inconspicuous, if they are too few, they will be abrupt, and with such an addition, does the contrast and contrast become stronger? "

After going through it in his mind for a while, Xu Zheng sighed, "Hearing what Director Li said, I really feel a sense of enlightenment."
