Hualiu Director

Chapter 22 Recording "Ask the Director for Advice" ([-])

Ningbo is a beautiful coastal city, and Lin Hong found that he was not the only one who arrived early.A lot of new directors came ahead of time, but they were all new faces, and Lin Hong didn't know any of them, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he just smiled and said hello.

Fortunately, the program team prepared hotel rooms for the directors and guests who arrived early, and even meals were included.I have to say that a platform like Penguin is rich, and it is generous in doing things.

On the night of the 3rd, Huang Li finally arrived in Ningbo. He asked Lin Hong out for dinner and introduced some friends to him.

When he arrived at the hotel, Lin Hong finally understood what Huang Li meant by introducing friends.

He Lei, a famous Chinese actress, writer, drama actor, producer, Golden Horse Golden Horse Award double actress, a first-line entertainer with a lot of titles, is recognized as a powerful big sister in the circle.In the past few years, He Lei has transformed from an actor to a producer, and has successively released several high-reputation films, proving her production ability with vicious and professional vision and methods.

Cheng Xi, a professional beauty actress who graduated from Chinese opera, although she did not achieve much success in acting, she has become a leader among the new generation of producers behind the scenes of transformation.The commercial films such as "Story of Journey" and "Detective Chinatown" series produced by her have exploded, with a cumulative box office of more than 120 billion yuan.And she, like Huang Li, is good at discovering and using young directors, and dares to take risks.

Wang Pangzhi, a famous director and producer in Hong Kong, has made countless films in his life, making half of the actors and actresses in the Hong Kong entertainment circle popular, and he is also the director and producer with the highest cumulative box office in Hong Kong.However, apart from the classic movies he made in the entertainment industry, what people talk about the most is her affair with the actress in his own movie.

With the addition of Huang Li, the four producers and mentors are all together.

Just like Huang Li brought Lin Hong to the banquet, the other three producers each brought a participating director.

He Lei is a thin female director with short hair, black-rimmed glasses and a fashionable big-brimmed hat. At first glance, she looks like an older young woman in the style of literature and art.

Next to Cheng Xi was a very young girl, who looked even younger than Lin Hong, but her speech and behavior were very decent, and her face was full of confidence.And when Cheng Xi was chatting with her, she was smiling all the time, it was obvious that the little girl was not simple.

The new director brought by Wang Pangzhi is the latest and the biggest.It is new because he has never made any films at all, not even a short film.And the reason why I say big name is because he is Wu Kun, the best actor of the Hong Kong Film Awards. He is a proper first-line actor. It is incredible for Lin Hong to be able to participate in a director's reality show this time.

Four producer mentors, four participating directors, one program chief director Wu Bin, plus the host Lan Ke, a total of ten people arrived and the dinner officially began.

Although no one said what kind of game this meal was, and no one helped to promote the director they were optimistic about, but everyone present was smart, and everyone knew that this was an internal recommendation game.That is to say, the four directors who arrived today all have backgrounds, and everyone raised their hands to save face, so that they can at least advance to the second round smoothly.Of course, criticize when you should scold, but you must scold the level, scold the style, and scold the highlights of the contestants. Only then can you be a qualified judge.As for the four of them, if they meet after the promotion, it will be up to each other.

The world of adults is sometimes so realistic. Lin Hong, as a person with vested interests, of course, would not protest foolishly. Although he felt that he did not need to rely on these external tricks to advance, but he was brought by Huang Li. If this When he said foolishly, "Everyone here is hot chicken", wouldn't he slap Huang Li in the face?This is actually one of the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. Lin Hong doesn't think that he has the ability to make any changes now, and it seems that there is nothing to change.

Chinese people like to talk about things at the wine table, or explore the information they want, and everyone here is from the entertainment industry, so there is no need to hide it, and they will know everything they need to know soon.

For example, the fact that Lin Hong was a student of Beijing Film Academy who hadn't graduated surprised everyone.

Lin Hong also finally knew that the literary female director was called Wang Chun. She was not only a director, but also a screenwriter and producer. She had already won the best director award in two small film festivals.

And that little girl is named Wang Wen, who just graduated from the School of Film Arts of the University of Southern California, and like Lin Hong, she has no other works except her graduation work.

Lin Hong also knows that Wu Kun's participation in the program is to understand the role from the director's point of view, to see if he can understand the role by analogy. Of course, if he really has director talent, he doesn't mind directing and acting himself.

Because the program is going to be recorded tomorrow, everyone just tasted drinking, but the meaning to be conveyed has been conveyed, so it doesn't matter if you drink or not.

Early the next morning, Lin Hong was notified to go to the convention and exhibition center next door to the hotel to record the program. The program team built the exhibition hall into a multi-functional studio.When he saw his exclusive make-up artist, exclusive PD, and exclusive camera, Lin Hong felt that this probably meant the meaning of big factories and big productions. Thinking about the days when 409 worked in Hengdian for 4 yuan, he felt that he was even called A dick has no qualifications.

The make-up artist said that Lin Hong is a typical handsome guy in the north, with a tough and angular face, and he doesn't need any makeup, as long as it highlights the original ecology, it's good, so he just shaves Lin Hong's hair a few times and he's done.Lin Hong was especially grateful to this makeup artist. If she wanted to let him sit there and get half a catty of fans, Lin Hong felt that it might be a good choice to withdraw from the competition.

After the make-up artist left, the exclusive videographer started working, and Lin Hong's variety show "Ask the Director to Advise" also officially started.

Lin Hong was sitting on the sofa in the lounge, and the pd signaled from outside the camera that he was going to start asking questions. This is a foreword that every director will have, and it will be cut into the feature film at that time. Of course, the length will vary depending on popularity and content. That is to say, Lin Hong may have said a lot and could only cut one sentence in the end. After all, the material library will be hundreds or even thousands of hours, and each episode that the audience will see may be less than 2 hours. time.

pd: "Director Lin, you haven't graduated yet?"

Lin Hong: "Yes, I will be graduating in two more months."

pd: "Are you looking forward to becoming a director?"

Lin Hong: "I had a director's dream in my previous life, but it didn't come true. Then when I crossed the Naihe Bridge, I was unwilling to drink Mengpo soup, so I still want to be a director in this life."

pd: "Hahahaha, what do you think of this show?"

Lin Hong: "It is a great honor to be invited by the program group when I am about to graduate. I always think that as a director, the audience should see his work, and I can let so many audiences see my work through the Penguin platform. It's really nice."

pd: "Then do you know which directors are participating?"

Lin Hong: "I don't know."

pd: "Make an evaluation of yourself, what kind of director do you think you are, and what types of movies are you good at?"

Lin Hong: "Evaluation of myself...uh... I actually don't know what kind of director I am. To be honest, I think I am an all-round director. I never set myself a genre, comedy, literature, romance, science fiction, kung fu movies I like them all, as long as they are good scripts, I want to make them, and there is no need to restrict my creation with any fixed genre. As a director, the most important thing is to have the spirit of exploration, to constantly explore the genre boundaries of movies, maybe it is a It's a new genre, and it's an interesting thing."

The pd's face was a little shocked, thinking that a young director like you is so good at blowing, no wonder you can play in the program group.After asking a few more nonsense nonsense, the pre-pickup is over.

After the interview, PD received the latest instructions from the program group in his headset, and all the directors went to the No. [-] studio.

Lin Hong got up and opened the door of the lounge, only to find that many lounges nearby had not opened the doors, and he didn't know whether it was because the pre-production was not over yet, or they were touching up their makeup.

Lin Hong didn't care about that, anyway, his make-up artist left work early, so he went to the No. [-] studio first under the guidance of the staff.

Studio No. [-] is not big, about a hundred square meters, and one wall is occupied by more than a dozen cameramen.

There are three areas in the shot. Above the steps is a group of curved sectional sofas. The c-position in the middle has the best view, but it also exposes itself to everyone.On the left under the steps are two gray independent sofas, and on the right is a group of S-shaped fashion combination fabric sofas.There is a small tea table in front of each sofa with the drinks named after this program group.

Directors are a very sensitive profession. They habitually think that everything in a certain space has its own unique meaning. Of course, the sofa is made by the program team, just to see who grabs the C seat and who silently chooses the small seat. With transparent edges and corners, who would choose a separate gray sofa.

Lin Hong was the first to come in, and he had the greatest choice, so he stepped up the steps and sat in the center-left position of the curved sofa, not at the C position, but not at the side, the most important thing was in front of him There is a coffee table, as long as the camera wants to take pictures of sponsor products in this area, then Lin Hong can be in the picture.

Lin Hong had just sat down and hadn't warmed up the sofa when another person came to the studio. It turned out to be the famous Taiwanese host Cai Yongkang.

Lin Hong stood up and saluted to show his respect. Cai Yongkang, who is good at emotional intelligence, also politely said "Hello, director", and then he started to get tangled up.The independent sofa is definitely not his kind of social bully, and he doesn't like the position of the artistic sofa. After thinking about it, he finally sat on the curved sofa like Lin Hong, and chose to sit next to Lin Hong The place near c.

It is said that there are three women in one drama, but I didn't expect that two men would start acting just now. The pd on the scene was very happy, and these directors could cut out an episode when they were seated.

The third person to come in was Wang Chun, but Lin Hong still greeted him as if he was meeting him for the first time.

With the passage of time, more and more participating directors came in, including Wu Tian, ​​a famous director who won the Taiwan Golden Bell Award, Liang Meigui, the home of the rock band, Bao Guangliang, a famous comedian, and Treasure Talents. Han Bing...Anyway, all kinds of people came, some director Lin Hong knew him, and some didn't.

Those who knew each other gradually sat together, and then the seats changed again and again.When 14 people had entered, Cai Yongkang had already been pushed to the c position by everyone.

"Welcome Director Buffett next!"

As soon as Buffet in formal attire appeared on stage, a dozen or so directors couldn't help whispering, and some familiar directors even commented despite the cameras being turned on.

"Buffy? Which Doubanjiang 2.0?"

"That's right, it's him. It is said that the film was used for ten years!"

I don't know if Buffet heard these words, but seeing his relaxed and confident expression, and his persistent greetings to others, I think he came prepared.

When no one opened the studio door anymore, everyone found that there was only one director who was scheduled to participate in the sixteen competitions, and it must be the finale competition director.

Just as everyone was guessing what kind of great director he would be, Lan Ke's excited voice came from the live broadcast: "Finally, let us welcome the great director Jin Peng with the warmest applause."
