You don't understand the happiness of the director

Although Teacher Xie Fei has retired, he still regards the school as his home and shines brightly when the weather comes.

The two made an appointment to meet in Cao Baoping's office. When Wang Quan came in, Teacher Cao looked unnatural, "What about that, Xiao Wang? I still have a class."

"Teacher Cao, I'm not here to see you. Teacher Xie and I have made an appointment to meet at your place. Hasn't his office already been given to the new teacher?"

After hearing this, Cao Baoping, who actually had no class, sat down, and then heard Wang Quan say: "But Teacher Xie hasn't come yet, so let's have a chat. Haven't you finished writing your script? This is all a matter of course." It’s been a year~”

After "The Invisible Guest", Cao Baoping fell in love with a novel called "Sunspot", which is also a crime theme. This year, he was still adapting it while teaching, and it has been 50% completed.

In Wang Quan's opinion, this is still too slow. A director only has a few years when he is full of energy. How can he waste it like this? Roll it up, Lao Cao!

So he finally couldn't help but take action himself.

"I have a ready-made notebook here. Do you want to try it?"

Cao Baoping: "No, I'm going to write the script myself this time."

Wang Quan: "Suspense crime type."

Is it as exciting a suspense script as "The Invisible Guest"?

As a screenwriting teacher, Wang Quan's scripts are very tempting, but Cao Baoping felt that it was time for him to walk independently, so he shook his head firmly, "I will not read it until I finish writing the script in hand, because I am afraid that I will be distracted."

He still has this self-awareness.

Just at this time, a student from his class came in. When the girl saw that Wang Quan was there, she was so excited that she walked on her knees, "Teacher Cao, Quan, Director Quan!"

"Hey, Jiao Huajing, you came just in time. Xiao Wang, you are a junior sister who is amazing. You wrote a script for Liu Fendou this year, and now you still have a notebook in hand, which is her graduation work. All of us in the Literature Department I think it’s pretty good, would your company want it?”

Wang Quan knew about the script she wrote for Liu Fendou, but heard it from Liu Yifei. It seemed that it was about Huang Bo and Jiang Yiyan playing a couple, and it was called "Pretend to Be a Couple."

As for the new script she has in hand, it is called "Einstein and Einstein." It is not a science fiction film, nor a biopic, but a story about a little girl and a dog named Einstein. In fact, it is a social problem of cruel youth and family education.

Wang Quan flipped through the book and still liked the name "Dog 13" more, "Xiao Jiao, is it okay if I call you that?"

"It's okay, Director Quan!" Jiao Huajing was slightly fat, but very elegant. At this time, her eyes were full of fanatical worship of her idol.

Wang Quan asked, "Teacher Cao said it was very good. I looked through it myself. I also like the theme. Chinese films need both commercial genre films and realistic themes that reflect social topics. Is there a director you would like to work with?" .”

Jiao Huajing wanted to say "you", but she was still somewhat self-aware, and then she looked at Teacher Cao Baoping.

The film "Original Time and Space" was made by Cao Baoping. It took several years of review before it was approved. The reason why it was not approved before was unclear.

Wang Quan said hurriedly, "Your teacher Cao is busy with the new script now, so don't disturb him."

Moreover, Wang Quan also feels that this kind of subject cannot bring out Lao Cao's strengths. He is still suitable for crime or criminal subjects.

Wang Quan looked at the cover of the script and said, "You are level 06."

"Yes, I graduated this year, worked for a while, and will take the postgraduate entrance examination next year."

Jiao Huajing probably guessed what Wang Quan meant, "You want me to choose one from the director department of our class?"

Wang Quan: "But it seems like you don't have any film directors this year, right?"

"Yes, our directors this time are in the documentary direction." Jiao Huajing said.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that you can’t make movies, but it’s still not as solid as a serious film directing student.

Suddenly, Jiao Huajing thought of someone, "There is one graduate student in our class who might be able to do it."

"Who?"

"Sun Rui!"

"Sun Rui? The novelist who wrote "In the Grass"?"

"Yes, he is Mr. Tian Chongcang's graduate student, but he has never directed a movie."

Sun Rui is from the capital and majored in engineering. His writing has a relaxed and playful style, which is a bit close to Shi Kang. Shi Kang studied under Wang Shuo. Wang Quan and the others were quite popular when they first went to college.

His writing style is definitely different from Mr. Cao's version of "Dog 13". Maybe it will be easier to pass the review if he shoots it.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Since you think he can do it, I will ask the company to contact him later, but you have to go to Wangdao to sign a contract first."

"Well, okay, thank you, Director Quan!"

Jiao Huajing went out, and Cao Baoping said, "Okay, now I've found a new project for you, so don't rush me."

Wang Quan smiled bitterly, "Okay, okay, just write it slowly. It can be started next year and released the year after that."

Cao Baoping thought for a while, "I think it should be about the same. Are you a kid who has a shortage of directors? So you keep squeezing me?"

Wang Quan: "There really aren't many directors, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. It's just that there are still a few who are good at suspense crimes. It's easy to be successful in this type of film, but it's also very demanding on the director's level."

Cao Baoping: "How about I recommend a few to you."

"Oh, you said."

Cao Baoping: "There was a student from China National Theater who came to me for several open classes before. He is an actor. I communicated with him. He said that he especially likes mystery novels and he admires "The Invisible Guest" very much. From his Judging from his words, he does have a lot of experience in mystery and suspense. Oh, he has also recently turned into a director and filmed a TV series."

"Isn't the person you're talking about called Chen Sicheng?"

"Oh, you know him?"

Wang Quan: "His drama was invested by Yang Mi Company, so I heard about it."

Cao Baoping: "This is one, and the other is the 05-level Olympic bidder. He recently returned from studying in the United States. Because he is taking a similar route to you, I heard that several companies are competing for him."

"We met once last year, and this year he was an intern at Longtou for half a year." Wang Quan said, this junior is indeed extraordinary. After all, he was enlightened by Mu Zimei.

Finally, Cao Baoping recommended a senior from Nortel, director Cheng Er.

His graduation film "Criminals" was a sensation that year. A few years ago, he collaborated with Xu Zheng and Gao Yuanyuan to make a crime movie "The Third Man". It was not very successful commercially, but Cao Baoping taught Cheng Er and still admired this student. of.

Wang Quan was very grateful to Teacher Cao for his recommendation. Cao Baoping actually wanted to ask what his new script was about, but at this time Xie Fei had already come in.

Cao Baoping: "Then why don't I go to Jiang Wen's place to have a look? I guess they've already arrived."

He was trying to avoid it, Xie Fei waved his hand, "You can also listen, and then let's go watch Jiang Wen's movie together."

Cao Baoping: "Okay, Jiang Wen is really interesting. As a Chinese opera student, the only viewing party before the release was at Nortel."

Xie Fei: "Who said we are a film school? We must know more about movies than the Drama School. There must be more of his close friends here. He knows that his brother likes to make movies, so wouldn't he recommend him to Nortel?"

Teacher Xie Fei is holding a script in his hand, which was adapted from a novel by photography teacher Wang Jing, called "Thousands of Arrows Pierce the Heart", and Teacher Xie has agreed to serve as the art director.

Teacher Xie is also Wang Dao's consultant. Wang Quan asked him to support those artistic film projects that are indeed high-quality but difficult to attract investment.

Teacher Xie said with a smile, just let me lose money for you.

In the current domestic film market, commercial films may not have high box office, let alone literary and artistic films. Mr. Cao's "Li Mi's Conjecture" contains elements of genre films, and will eventually make its money back.

However, while commercial films can make tens of millions and hundreds of millions, it is not a problem for literary films to lose millions, and they are only losses at this stage. If the reputation of literary films is really good, the long-tail effect will be able to recover the cost in the future, and " "A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" is definitely a high-reputation literary film, and Mr. Wang Jing is also worth investing in. His later "The Tribulation of the Ming Dynasty" is also a masterpiece. Wang Quan regrets that he has made too few movies.

It’s just that it’s difficult to attract investment in this kind of movie. Teacher Wang Jing plans to find a movie channel to attract investment, but he is afraid that if the other party invests with the specifications of a TV movie, the quality of the movie will not be very good, so Teacher Xie is going to recommend this script to Kingship.

Wang Quan readily agreed, and the investment scale was definitely higher than the original plan. Now that we have taken the shot, we can make it as good as possible without having to save money for ourselves.

At this time, Wang Quan had already discovered two directors, Cao Baoping and Xue Xiaolu, from the film school. If Yu Feihong, who had resigned, was included, she would be added half a dozen more.

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the film school. Wang Quan asked Mr. Xie to talk to his former colleagues. If anyone is willing to go out, they can contact Wang Dao. At that time, he can take care of the students while filming, so that the students can truly join the crew to practice and grow.

Xie Fei was very touched. We all know that practice brings true knowledge, but making a movie is too expensive. Even a movie like "Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" costs millions, so how can the school have so much money to give students practice? ah.

But he is also very clear-headed. Students and teachers trained in the film school system are more inclined to author films. People start to be moved by the scripts they write when they cannot understand them. This kind of scripts will be directly in his hands. If he is killed, the little king of the province will be in trouble.

While they were discussing Wang Dao's new film, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei were hanging around the acting academy.

Class is going on now. After class, these people will run to watch "Let the Bullets Fly", so some people's hearts have already wandered out.

Naza's heart also drifted out, but it was just because of Brother Quan. It's great to see him later!

She looked outside the window, and when she turned around, she happened to see Yang Mi and Liu Yifei outside the door window.

Not only her, but many students in the class saw it, and they were all very excited.

Wu Jinyan: "So beautiful! She deserves to be Liu Yifei!"

Huang Mengying: "I think Senior Yang Mi is pretty good too."

Wu Jinyan: "Then why did Director Quan choose Liu Yifei instead of Yang Mi? They are still childhood sweethearts."

Huang Mengying: "Because we were childhood sweethearts, so we treat her as my sister, so naturally we can't be together."

Hearing their low-pitched argument, Nazha felt funny in her heart. To return her sister, she would just lie to outsiders like you.

Liu Yifei outside asked Yang Mi, "What are you doing here? Do you have any friends?"

Yang Mi: "Isn't there your friend in there, that Gu Linaza?"

Liu Yifei: "We can't even call her friends. She knows Jingtian. We can see Jingtian later, but she is a senior this year. I don't know if she is still in school."

Yang Mi said, "That Jingtian's conditions are pretty good, but she already has a management company. Unfortunately, we'd better wait until her appointment is over."

Liu Yifei: "So you are here to select new people for your company?"

"That's right," then Yang Mi corrected, "It's our company, don't forget that you also own 1% of the shares of Power World."

Liu Yifei: "Thank you for reminding me."

"You're welcome, just come back and make a guest appearance with us."

Liu Yifei: "..."

Just as she was about to choke back, Yang Mi pointed at Huang Mengying, Zhang Yunlong, Liu Ruifu and others inside and nodded. Yes, there are some good prospects in level 09 besides Gu Linaza.

When passing the Class 08 classroom, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei showed some interest in Pan Zhilin and Cai Wenjing inside.

When she reached the classroom for the 10th grade freshmen, Yang Mi shook her head, almost embarrassed.

Liu Yifei suddenly said in surprise, "Hey, aren't those Liu Xing and Xia Xue?"

Yang Mi asked strangely, "You have also watched "Family with Children". Your childhood and mine seem to be different, right?"

Liu Yifei, "Please, the first season of "With Children" didn't air until I was in college."

"Oh, it seems to have been broadcast when I was a senior in high school. It feels like many years ago, but these two kids are not very good at growing up." Yang Mi shook her head again, not optimistic about the siblings.

Xiaoxue won't say it anymore. She looked a little sorry when she was a child, but now she looks exactly the same as when she was a child. She probably can't get along.

Liu Xing looked like actor Xia Yu when he was a child, but now, it seems that he can't grow up. As expected, child stars can't grow taller.

Although Yang Mi is also a child star, her workload is really pitiful. No one knows her as a child star until she grows up and becomes famous. Similar to Pan Zhilin, who just graduated in 2008.

At this time, the person teaching Grade 10 is their class teacher Cui Xinqin, who is also Liu Yifei’s class teacher.

Seeing that these two people were sneaking around outside and had attracted the attention of her students, she simply opened the door and grabbed these two people in.

Nortel has never been short of celebrities. For example, during the 60th anniversary of the school not long ago, when a brick was thrown, nine out of ten celebrities were celebrities. However, Xianmi came hand in hand, which still caused a small commotion in the class.

Teacher Cui simply asked them to say a few words to encourage the younger students.

Liu Yifei, who was unprepared, scolded Yang Mi, "I blame you for dragging me here, you say it first!"

Yang Mi, "The Queens of Venice and Baihua are standing in front of you. If you have any questions about the performance, just ask. Everyone applauds Senior Sister Liu Yifei!"

Liu Yifei: You hate me to death!

Yang Mi: Who made you the best actress? Why not?

(Three directors, Chen Sicheng, Olympic bid, Cheng Er, which one do you like~)
