Chapter 17 Success

There was no host, and no staff to guide, the lights in the screening room were turned off at eight o'clock, the big screen was lit, and the audience fell silent instantly.

There are deep mountains deep in the clouds and mist. In a beautiful long-range shot, when the clouds and mist become thinner by chance, it seems that something stands on the top of the mountain. Then the camera follows the thick clouds and mist all the way forward, and at the last moment the clouds and mist break through and suddenly an ancient temple appears.

Facing the rising sun, the four characters "Three Monks" appeared on the screen, and the short film officially started.

Chen Ge cried out beautifully when he saw this scene. He himself is a director who likes to use the beginning of the long shot. In this scene, the clouds and temples are concealed very quickly, showing the feeling of the ancient temple in the deep mountains to the fullest.

Accompanied by the sunrise and the melodious bells, the first person to appear on the stage is Zhang Shan, a thin monk in a gray cassock.I saw him proficiently carrying an empty bucket down the mountain to carry water, and then skillfully scooped water with the bucket, put his shoulders on, changed his shoulders, returned to the temple, poured water into the water tank, and then he sat on the shoulder pole for a rest, all the movements They are all very lifelike, as if he has carried water countless times by himself.

The students in the performance class gave senior brother Zhang Shan a thumbs-up in their hearts. If this set of water-carrying movements is done properly in the assessment class, they will get full marks.And the physique teacher who taught Zhang Shan was proud. These are the basic skills they have taught. It seems that Zhang Shan has worked hard.

The wooden fish and small cymbals sounded, and the handsome monk Li Xian appeared in a red cassock with a burden on his back. His image was really good, and the red cassock made him even more handsome.Many female voices at the scene unconsciously had their hearts beating faster. It seemed that the bald head was indeed the only criterion for judging a handsome guy. Seeing that Li Xian is so handsome even if he plays a monk.

The handsome monk went up the mountain and entered the temple. He and the skinny monk didn't say a word.

The skinny monk led the handsome monk to the kitchen, gave him a ladle of water, and handed him a shoulder pole.

Next came the performance of the handsome monk carrying water twice. Li Xian used different movements and facial expressions to show the changes in the handsome monk's heart. Although there was still no line, everyone understood all the emotions of the handsome monk.

While watching the movie, everyone in Renyi thought, this young man is not bad, he has a good image and excellent acting skills, he is a good seed...

The plot develops to the point where the handsome monk does not carry water, and the two are so thirsty that they finally reach a compromise, and the lines appear for the first time in the whole film.

Handsome monk: "Lift!"

Thin monk: "Good!"

So the audience saw Zhang Shan and Li Xian fighting wits and courage when carrying water, constantly using small movements to make each other work harder, and finally found that only a little water was carried back when they arrived in the kitchen.

There may be some acting students who just find it interesting, while others seem to have caught something. Director Lin Hong started to output, should we start, the dark side of human nature.

Sure enough, when the two monks marked the poles in the camera and then checked each other's poles, Chen Ge concluded that this would definitely be a classic short film.

The two monks finally maintained their balance under a marked pole, and they lived in "harmony".But is this "harmony" real? What does this marked pole symbolize?

Everyone subconsciously brought into thinking, they may think differently, but it is this kind of thinking that is the charm of the movie.

This is definitely a big story, the director has great ambitions!

With the cooperation of wooden fish and small cymbals again, Jin Shan, a fat monk in a yellow cassock, appeared on the stage. After he went up the mountain, the three of them just saluted, so the temple became a practice of three people.

The thin monk and the handsome monk looked at each other, and they pointed at the new fat monk almost at the same time, and then said at the same time: "Good!"

So the fat monk became the one who carried the water, but the fat monk obviously had experience in the rivers and lakes. He went out with an empty bucket in a dawdly manner, and drank water from the small river at the foot of the mountain. Two and a half buckets of water were carried over his shoulders.

Very good, there is no facial makeup performance, and it can be filmed according to the characteristics of the actors. This is what a mature director can do. This is Lin Hong.Chen Ge secretly praised in his heart.

Just when everyone was still immersed in Jinshan's performance, 409, Zhang Shan and others started to laugh, and the os in their hearts automatically started a barrage of "high energy ahead".

The fat monk climbed up the stairs with extremely awkward movements. Few of the students understood Jinshan's movements here, but the physique teacher, Chen Ge, and the actors of Renyi had already started laughing, because they all understood.

Jin Shan's shaking of his legs and cheeks was so vivid. When he ran into the toilet, there was a pattering sound, and the scene was already full of laughter.That's right, that wasn't the action when holding back urine just now, it was really well performed, and it is indeed an old drama.

"Old Jin, this performance is amazing!"

He Bin's words made Jin Shan both happy and ashamed, thinking that this is not an act, it is true, can it be different!

The fat monk who came out of the toilet had a smug look on his face, with a look of success. He poured a small amount of water into the water tank, walked a few steps, and then turned back to scoop up a large ladle of water and drank it happily.

Selfish, this fat monk is simply too selfish.However, why not the thin monk and the handsome monk? How much better are they than the fat monk?

Finally, the fat monk who felt that he had suffered a disadvantage was also unwilling to carry water. The three of them looked at each other from looking at each other, to looking at each other back to back, and they finally maintained their balance again.

However, is this balance good and is it conducive to the development of the situation?

Obviously not.

It is true that all unreasonable balances have storms brewing within them.

This morbid balance finally exposed his fatal weakness when a mouse accidentally knocked over the candlestick and lit the veil of the hall.

Accompanied by the bright banhu and the hasty drumbeat, the fire soared into the sky, like a beast that devoured everything.

Beautiful, this fire burns so well.Chen Ge and the actors of Renyi are all excited. This short film has given them too many surprises, whether it is the picture or the soundtrack, of course the most important thing is the faintness behind it. For example, the posture of the three monks and the three colors represent What, what is the significance of the distinctive characteristics of the three monks, and what does this fire represent.

The sound of banhu and tanggu on the screen stopped abruptly, and everyone knew that the story was coming to an end.

What about the three monks, did they burn to death?Just when everyone was wondering, it was dawn, and in the lingering smoke of ashes in the temple, the three monks each went west and east with their own burdens on their backs.

There is no farewell, no confession, and no trace of the temple.

The smoke from the ruins rises and the clouds and mists in the mountains envelop each other. The camera zooms out, and there seems to be something standing on the top of the mountain, but there seems to be nothing.

……

When the big screen freezes on these six characters, the screening of the whole film ends at 24 minutes and [-] seconds.

When the lights came on, everyone stood up from their seats. Everyone, including Chen Ge and Principal Zheng, applauded. There was no perfunctory applause, and it was all sincerely given by them.

409 and Zhang Shan hugged each other excitedly, "We succeeded, we finally succeeded", and the sentimental Zhang Wentong even shed tears.

"Senior is great!"

"classic!"

"You are my idol, and I am willing to be your heroine."

The young juniors express their admiration with cheers, while the older generation are more accustomed to applauding, continuous applause.

Although he was only standing in the corner of the door at the moment, everyone's eyes were attracted by Lin Hong. Everyone had thoughts about this work, and they all wanted to interview Lin Hong.But at this moment Lin Hong didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to enjoy the applause and cheers.

"Old Lin, your son is amazing!"

The words of his colleagues in Renyi made Lao Lin feel a different emotion, and he could finally proudly say the phrase "my son is a director" to everyone.

Sister Hu's eyes were dim with tears at the moment, and she suddenly remembered the look in Lin Hong's eyes when he said he wanted to apply for Jingying, and it seemed that he hadn't changed at all from now.

The applause lasted for 3 minutes. Jin Shan had already been invited by Lin Hong. The crew of "Three Monks" came to the stage. Lin Hong and Kong Xiao also invited Chen Ge, Principal Zheng and President Feng to the stage. Please ask Lao Lin and Sister Hu, but they signaled with their eyes that they don't need it, they just want to sit down and watch their son in high spirits quietly, that's enough.

Xing Wei suddenly discovered that the short banner could be used now, so he and Zeng Shuming pulled aside each other, just to include everyone on the stage.

It must be the leader who speaks first, so the staff handed the microphone to Principal Zheng first.

"Let me start with the first sentence: I am very proud."

The applause was thunderous, and the Jingying people present seemed to say "We are also very proud" with applause.

"If someone told me before that this is the best short film of a well-known film festival, I would believe it without hesitation. If someone told me that this is the graduation work of a directing student, I would say that this is the director on Mars. class!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, yes, such students are simply aliens, using this level of short film as a graduation project, brother, do you want us to be so ashamed as to call ourselves Southeast Branch?

"However, this is the fact now. This is really a graduation work, the graduation work of our Jingying students. Is there something wrong with my pride?"

"No problem!" Jingying's students only discovered today that the principal is so humorous, so of course they must cooperate well.

"Let me say the second sentence: I will be responsible." "The excellent short film "Three Monks" can't just be played in our screening hall. Sending it to major film festivals, we want more people to see it, understand it, and think about it. And I also want to include "Three Monks" as an alternative teaching material for Beijing Film Director's and Acting classes."

Everyone here is overwhelmed. If it is not a big deal to apply for foreign film festivals, then domestic film festivals will be a big deal, because basically the judges of those domestic film festivals are inextricably linked with Beijing Film Festival. If a filmmaker takes the initiative to apply for a certain movie, then no one should give high praise to it.

In addition, "Three Monks" was included as an alternative teaching material for the director class and acting class. This is already the most classic work in film and television works and the treatment that can only be obtained in an instant. It can be seen that Principal Zheng loves "Three Monks".

This time, Principal Zheng's speech was surprisingly short. He handed the microphone to Chen Ge amidst applause. Chen Ge modestly said that Dean Feng would speak first, but Dean Feng stepped back again and again to show that he didn't dare, so Chen Ge took the microphone back.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate Lin Hong, you have made an outstanding work."

Lin Hong clasped his hands beside him to express his gratitude.

"Maybe you don't know that Lin Hong worked part-time in Hengdian to earn money before filming started. I met him on a certain set. At that time, I thought he was very good and thoughtful, but I didn't expect him to be so good and so talented. idea.

Movies are the art of directors. I always believe that only good directors can make good works. Lin Hong, congratulations again. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you and make movies together. "

Chen Ge did not do everything like Principal Zheng, nor did he rely on his qualifications to preach. He just praised Lin Hong for his talent, congratulated Lin Hong on his success, and finally invited Lin Hong to make a movie together.

Everyone looked enviously at Lin Hong on the stage. This was an invitation from Chen Ge. They could even foresee that Lin Hong was going to take off. Could they get the help of their seniors?

The third speaker was Dean Feng. He came quite suddenly and was not ready to speak.

"I'm very happy that Lin Hong can achieve success. Seeing him standing on the stage in high spirits, I have to say that we are getting old. Maybe you don't know that Lin Hong's father, Lin Baoshan, is a 25-year-old actor at Beijing People's Art. Hong has been playing in the backstage of our Renyi since he was a child. I don’t know if this will help him become a director, but I think his father must have taught him by example.

Lin Hong, you can be regarded as a member of our Renyi. If you become a great director in the future, you should think about our Renyi's actors. It would be even better if you can come to Renyi to direct a few plays! "

Lin Hong bowed again and again to express that everything is up to you.Dean Feng then took the opportunity to hand over the microphone to Lin Hong, and other main creators also came over and patted Lin Hong on the shoulder to express their support.

Lin Hong took a deep breath, he was a little nervous.Bow before speaking on stage, this is what Lao Lin taught since he was a child, and the applause from the audience proves that this is right.

"Thank you, thank you all for coming to this screening. Hey, it seems that "Three Monks" won an award."

There was laughter on and off the stage, and someone was shouting, "I'm sure I'll win the prize."

"Thank you, thank you. Then I will take it as an acceptance speech. First of all, I would like to thank my family. Thank you for supporting me without hesitation when I was about to apply for the Beijing Film Academy. Thank you for all your sacrifices.

Then I would like to thank the producer, Mr. Huang Li, for your 10 yuan investment gave us the opportunity to start the project.

Thank you to my mentor, Professor Zhang Jiandong, and thank you for introducing Mr. Jin Shan to my crew.

Thank you, Mr. Jin Shan, you taught our young people what is professionalism and dedication on set. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you next time.

I would also like to thank director Chen Ge, you may not know how much money you saved me by treating me to a meal in Hengdian, really, next time if you can still treat me to a meal before I start the machine, I guess I will rent venue equipment Can be discounted.

Thank you Chen Yu, it was a pleasure chatting with you in Hengdian, the snacks you bought are delicious, remember to bring more next time.

Zhang Shan, are you waiting for my thanks? I'm sorry I don't, I want to naturalize you in dormitory 409.

Finally, thanks to the brothers of 409, you helped me support all the work of the crew, I am very satisfied with the work of all of you, we will definitely grow into the best team.Remember not to separate after graduation, we must continue to make movies, because this is our common dream.

Do you remember on the streets of Hengdian, I said that I want to become a great director, remember all your dreams, hold on, we will all realize it.

Finally, I have a word for all of you who are here today.

'May you go away for half your life and come back as a teenager! '"

The applause sounded and lasted for a long time.
