As soon as Qi Ji came on board, he deceived everyone with his camera language.
But this time, the emotional impact it brings to everyone is different from the family love in "Dumplings".
This time, it comes from the personal experience of working as a worker. It is a true feeling.
This reversal is too strong!
It directly slapped everyone in the face, but made everyone moved!
The entire film, the first 80% of the content, is illusory.
If you look into it carefully, there are even a lot of bugs.
For example, why is the delivery boy's battery cart so compact? It can't run for just a few minutes before it runs out of power.
For example, why after a delivery boy received the news that his grandfather had passed away, his first choice was not to go home, but to make frantic phone calls?
These are all things that Qi Ji used his own lens language and his own directing ability to tease the audience.
This is the art of directing!
And at the end.
Story twist.
The male protagonist is just fantasizing.
He is not a delivery person at all, so there are so many bugs displayed in front of the audience at the beginning of the film.
With this final twist, the story makes sense.
And when the real life of the male protagonist is shown in front of everyone.
Everyone has seen the most positive side of the male protagonist.
Although he was very poor and downcast.
But he is optimistic.
He reported good news to his family and friends but not bad news.
This scene, the migrant workers, really gives a sense of immersion.
So for a moment, countless people's eyes were red.
Because everyone who saw this scene thought of themselves.
I thought of myself struggling to survive in this world just for a few mouthfuls of food.
"Stop and go along the way..." Accompanied by the song "The Wind Rises", Qi Ji's short film was played directly into everyone's eyes and hearts.
Just like the four sentences in the final subtitles.
We are always wandering, we are always pretending to be strong, and we are always holding on to hope!
so!
Workers, never give up!
This world is still beautiful after all!
This is Qi Ji’s bowl of soup for everyone!
But this bowl of soup is so delicious!
This is what Qi Ji wants to express to everyone in this film.
In other words, it’s something I want to guide everyone!
The entire audience was silent for seven or eight seconds, as if they had not yet come out of the drama.
Qi Ji bowed ninety degrees to everyone.
finally.
I don't know who it was, but started to applaud.
Then, there was a wave of applause, which seemed to drown Qi Ji.
"Niubi! Wocao! My scalp is really numb now!"
"To be honest, the sense of immersion is so strong! I never dare to tell our parents how hard and tired I am outside! I'm afraid they will worry!"
"Qi Ji, you are really a director! This program is really a treasure!"
"Qi Ji's level is simply beyond my expectations! He is really too strong!"
"It's so strong! I'm already looking forward to director Qi Ji's feature film! This is always a short film. In the final analysis, it's just a reversal! I'm looking forward to how director Qi Ji controlled the 90-minute film duration.
!”
Backstage.
The other 15 directors who participated were all shocked.
If we say Qi Ji's first game, it was a bit of a surprise.
So this time, Qi Ji's true strength is demonstrated.
Because for most of the first part of the film, it is difficult for the audience to have a good viewing experience.
But Qi Ji used his superb directing skills and spent more than one minute in the last minute to complete the counterattack of this film!
The structure of this film is very bold.
But it also impressed the directors very much.
"The shooting was really good! It far exceeded my expectations!" said Yun Youshan, winner of the Golden Rainbow Award for Best Short Film.
Pi Changjun nodded and said: "Didn't Qi Ji come to my crew as a guest star before? I could tell at that time that this guy has some talent in directing! This film was really well shot, and the concept was very good!"
Wang Zheli stood at the back, saw everyone's reactions, and felt relieved for Qi Ji in his heart.
When the video was first played, everyone's expressions were stiff.
He thought Qi Ji would overturn this time.
But facts have proven that Qi Ji is still the same miracle!
He can really work miracles!
On the side of the auditorium, there are more than ten actors who came to watch today.
There was a touch of surprise on everyone's faces.
They couldn't think of it, they couldn't think of it at all.
Qi Ji can actually take such good photos!
and.
This is Qi Ji's own writing, directing and even acting!
In an instant, everyone's minds became active.
If I had known earlier, I should have agreed to Qi Ji before the second round!
If he had agreed at that time, then he would be the one who shines so brilliantly in Qi Ji's camera now!
What a pity!
It’s really a pity!
But what can we say? Before the second round, Qi Ji passed the first round, but many people did not know why Qi Ji was promoted.
It's okay to be a little cautious.
And this time.
The actors were really there and felt it.
Qi Ji is more than just a singer.
Not just for fun.
Qi Ji, you seriously want to win the championship of this show!
Tian Dakang, a veteran actor, was sitting in the C seat among the actors, his face expressionless at the moment.
But several actors around him looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Because the last time an actor chose a director.
Tian Dakang's attitude towards Qi Ji was very bad.
And Qi Ji said directly that when it comes to acting, the longer you perform it, the better it will be!
now.
In this short film, Qi Ji provides everyone with a qualified image of a hardworking worker.
This short film can completely prove that Qi Ji's acting skills are very good.
Qi Ji's directing level is also above the qualified level, even excellent.
But what about you, Tian Dakang?
After so many years of debut, it seems that you haven’t filmed any particularly famous movies and TV series, right?
Just because you have lived a long time, you dare to be so arrogant?
This is the truest thought deep in the hearts of many young actors present.
Because I don’t know what’s wrong with today’s audiences. Some people are very superstitious about the so-called old actors.
Nowadays, many media also like to interview veteran actors and ask them to reveal some things that young traffic people do on the set.
certainly.
These things are basically negative.
For example, what kind of drama is it? You don’t memorize the lines, you just read the numbers.
But when I really asked this veteran actor who the actor he was talking about was.
He shook his head again and stopped talking.
Leave aside the upright character who sells old dramas!
This is something that some young and capable actors can't stand.
Tian Dakang shrank his head and simply looked at Qi Ji on the stage without speaking.
The four producers all applauded Qi Ji wildly.
Especially the best actor Li Dacheng, he cried.
He was directly moved to tears by Qi Ji's short film.
He held up the microphone and commented: "Qi Ji, your film is really great! In fact, my first reaction at first was that I didn't like it, even a little disgusted. I thought it was a bit too fake.
!But when the BGM started playing, I couldn’t hold back my tears! It’s great, thank you for bringing us a very excellent short film!”
The other three producers also praised Qi Ji.
Then, the host started to cue veteran actor Tian Dakang.
This is causing trouble!
Many people at the scene looked like people eating melon.
"Teacher Tian, what do you think of this play directed by Qi Ji?" Qingqing asked with a smile.
Tian Dakang pushed up his glasses, took a deep breath, and said: "The actor's performance is up to standard. But I personally don't like the short film itself. Because his foreshadowing is a bit too straightforward.
If the film is released in theaters, I believe that most of the audience will not be able to stand the first part!"
Tian Dakang said seriously.
Qi Ji looked at Tian Dakang. He didn't have a good impression of this so-called veteran actor: "But this is a short film! You can't use the theater's requirements for a feature film to ask for a short film!"
Qi Ji's words immediately won unanimous approval among the audience.
"Agree! Qi Ji is right!"
"That's right! This is a short film! Its final twist brings everyone reflection. Isn't it already very good?"
"I really like Qi Ji's short film! And I also like the last song! Although I only sang a few lines, it really touched my heart!"
The directors backstage also nodded.
Tian Dakang was speechless by Qi Ji and stopped talking.
Next, comes the final showdown.
Qi Ji's opponent Zhao Guoqiang was invited to come forward.
This brother, who has a very high self-esteem of himself, unexpectedly praised Qi Ji's short film in a rare way: "I like your last twist very much. Come on, I will watch all your future films."
Zhao Guoqiang said this to Qi Ji, which made Qi Ji feel quite good.
Director Zhao doesn't seem to be as lonely and self-admired as the rumors say!
In the final voting round, Qi Ji won with a high number of votes.
Zhao Guoqiang just smiled faintly and made no comments. He simply hugged Qi Ji and left the show.
This brother is really cool.
Backstage lounge.
Qi Ji ate the banana with big mouthfuls.
After being on stage for a long time, he was really hungry.
Gu Pingting said excitedly while passing water to Qi Ji: "Boss, you are really amazing!"
After this period of time, Gu Pingting got along with Qi Ji.
She immediately transformed into Qi Ji’s little fan girl.
no way.
Every day I look at such a tall, handsome, powerful, key person and very nice person, how could I not fall in love with him!
certainly.
Gu Pingting's mentality is the simplest kind of star-chasing girl's love for idol idols.
At this time.
The door rang, someone knocked on the door.
Gu Pingting went over and opened the door.
A woman in her thirties with burgundy wavy hair walked in.
"Hello Qi Ji, I am Zhao Xiaohua, and I am the manager of Juye Entertainment." Zhao Xiaohua smiled and extended her hand.
Qi Ji shook hands with her.
Zhao Xiaohua, as the top manager of Juye Entertainment, has five artists in her hands.
Today she came to watch the show for a new actress she has.
This actress is the one who played the heroine in Zhao Guoqiang's short film.
But at this moment, Zhao Xiaohua came to see Qi Ji not because of this new actress.
But for the most popular artist under her, Jin Yanni.
As the lead singer of the former A-list girl group seven-seven, Jin Yanni's popularity has been maintained quite well after the group was disbanded.
But she still lacked a song of her own.
After everyone was disbanded, the person who developed the best was actually Zhao Qingke.
This woman, from the very beginning of her duet with Qi Ji on "The Story of Young China", she immediately shed her label as a girl group.
This makes Jin Yanni and others envious.
Today, Zhao Xiaohua watched Qi Ji’s short film at the scene.
She didn't have much to say about the film itself.
But at the end of the film, the song sung by a girl really touched Zhao Xiaohua's heart.
If Jin Yanni were to sing this song, she would definitely be able to sing it!
So Zhao Xiaohua expressed her thoughts to Qi Ji.
Qi Ji rubbed his face and said, "You mean, 2 million, just for the right to sing this song?"
Zhao Xiaohua nodded.
Logically speaking, this price is already very high.
If Qi Ji had no money, this would probably be the end of it.
But now Qi Ji is no longer short of money.
The song "The Wind Rises" is going to be a hit.
Qi Ji didn't want to sing for Jin Yanni.
If Mu Yunxiu asked him for it, or if Feng Muyu wanted to sing, Qi Ji would give it to him.
But for Jin Yanni, it won’t work.
So Qi Ji decisively rejected Zhao Xiaohua.
"If it's a matter of money, we can still discuss it!" Zhao Xiaohua still didn't give up.
Qi Ji shook his head helplessly: "This is not a question of money!"
"Then it's a human problem?!" Zhao Xiaohua's eyes widened, "Do you look down on our Yanni?"
As an agent with some skills in the industry, she was not afraid at all when facing Qi Ji.
When Qi Ji heard this, he turned around and said, "Pingting, let's see the guests off."
"Qi, don't be too arrogant!" Zhao Xiaohua yelled, "You're so young, you're not even willing to pay 2 million! You really think your songs are gold!"
Gu Pingting pushed her out, rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, you are really good! My boss doesn't want to sell his songs and wants to sing them himself. Do you have any questions?"
"Get out of here!" Qi Ji became impatient and yelled.
Zhao Xiaohua's expression suddenly became calm. She put her hand into her trouser pocket and touched the recording pen inside. She immediately felt refreshed.
It was already the second day that Zhao Xiaohua returned to Juye Entertainment.
She couldn't wait to find the staff and edit the recording.
I cut a section in the middle and kept only the recording of herself sincerely buying songs from Qi Ji, but Qi Ji got angry and told her to get out.
So the content of the recording became that Qi Ji was arrogant and domineering, and because of his creative ability, no one looked down on him.
Then she found the contact information of Shunli Entertainment and proudly sent the recording to Meng Feichen anonymously.
Qi Ji successfully passed the second round of "Director Please Take Your Place".
In the third round, there are eight directors left, all of whom are masters among masters.
For example, Pi Changjun, and another example is Yun Youshan.
At the recording site, Wang Zhe looked at the eight directors present and smiled: "Congratulations, everyone, for coming to our third round."
Qi Ji smiled and said: "Director Wang, please tell me quickly what the rules are for the third round!"
"Hahaha! Director Qi is right! The last round really tortured me!"
"This time, you're not going to do the lottery thing again, are you? I really can't stand it anymore!"
The eight directors were all laughing and joking, half joking and half serious.
Wang Zhe held up his card and said calmly: "For the third round, we will still draw lots, but this time, we will draw the genre of the film. Comedy, suspense, costume, and romance. There are four genres. Still the old rules, draw
Those of the same type will automatically become opponents!"
"Wow! It's this routine again!"
"Don't do it as a comedy! Comedy is really too difficult!"
"Yes! I'm good at suspense dramas, but I'm really not good at comedy!"
Everyone was wailing, but the targets of the wailing were all concentrated, that is, the other three types could be used.
Just can't win comedy!
Even Pi Changjun was a little nervous because he had never filmed a comedy.
Comedy, firstly, the script is difficult to write, and secondly, the actors are not good enough. It is really difficult for the audience not to look embarrassed.
This was the case with Stephen Chow's movies in his previous life.
Everyone likes his style.
But once another person performs it, it will look very embarrassing.
In China, there are almost no good comedies.
Among the eight directors present, Yun Youshan is the one with comedy experience.
Because the film she won the Golden Rainbow Award for Best Short Film was a comedy.
A male director took the lead and started smoking.
I happily took out a suspense movie.
And Qi Ji, thanks to his good luck, actually won the comedy lottery.
And his opponent is none other than Yun Youshan!
Several directors came over gloatingly and patted Qi Ji on the shoulder: "Hahaha! Director Qi, how are you doing comedy!?"
"Come on, Director Qi! Director Yun is a master of comedy!"
"It's really you, Director Qi, Director Yun! I have to thank you for pulling out the comedy first!"
Even Pi Changjun came over to chat with Qi Ji.
Yun Youshan smiled and shook Qi Ji's hand and said, "Please give me your advice for the third round."
Qi Ji replied: "Director Yun is so cruel!"
Yun Youshan: "Do you have any ideas for the script?"
Qi Ji: "Not yet."
Yun Youshan: "Oh, come on, I have several comedy scripts that I haven't finished yet! I have to go back and see which one works best!"
Qi Ji: "???"
Damn it, you came to me from Versailles, right?
then.
Qi Ji quickly said in his mind: "System, customize a comedy script for me that is more suitable for this stage."
"Ding dong...the work is being customized..."
"Congratulations to the host for winning the script "Hello, Li Huanying!". Note: This is a short film adaptation of the sketch version, which is very suitable for filming into a comedy short film of about 30 minutes!"
Qi Ji's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked into the waiting room of the actors confidently.
"Qi Ji! It's Qi Ji here!"
"Wow! Director Qi is here!"
"Director Qi, I just watched your last performance of "Dumplings"! It was really good! But I didn't expect that you performed better in this performance!"
"Director Qi, how are you? Do you have a script for the third round? Do you have a favorite actor?"
"Director Qi, your third-round script hasn't come out yet, right? You choose me! I'm very malleable! As long as it's a human being, no! As long as it's an animal, I can play it!"
Qi Ji just walked in.
The actors expressed their goodwill towards Qi Ji.
He looked familiar, as if he had known Qi Ji for a long time.
Contrary to the previous two rounds, he ignored Qi Ji's love and turned a blind eye.
This is the entertainment industry.
This is snobbery in real life.
Qi Ji was very cold in his heart, but he still said calmly: "I won the comedy this time."
"Ah? Comedy?"
"Comedy...I'm not very good at it!"
"I can do that, but I don't know if Director Qi wants me!" An actress raised her hand.
Everyone at the scene looked at her with smiles.
Her name is Lian Yaxian, and she is a comedian.
She is very fat, which is a disaster for female artists.
But her popularity with the audience is very good.
But I have never acted seriously.
At most, it's just a skit.
When Qi Ji saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Okay! Are you willing to come?"
Lian Yaxian immediately made an extremely exaggerated and extremely excited action and rushed towards Qi Ji.
Then Qi Ji chose Sun Hong, an actress in her 30s.
This sister is also a capable person. Although she is over thirty, she really looks like she is 24/5 years old, which is quite consistent with the character needed in Qi Ji's script.
These two are the main cast members of "Hello, Li Huanying".
After finishing the recording of the program and setting a schedule with the two actors, Qi Ji was about to call it a day when he received an urgent call from Meng Feichen.
So Qi Ji rushed to the company without stopping.
With a dark face, Meng Feichen played the recording he received to Qi Ji.
Qi Ji's face also became ugly.
It's careless, it's really careless.
Unexpectedly, this Zhao Xiaohua is so insidious.
Although the recording was sent anonymously, both Qi Ji and Meng Feichen unanimously concluded that the other party was Zhao Xiaohua.
There will be no one else but her.
"Ding dong! It has been detected that the host has been framed! Does the host need to spend 5 million cultural communication points to download the entire recording?"
"???Hurry up and download!"
"Ding dong! The download is successful and the recording has been sent to the host's mobile phone. Please check it carefully!"
Meng Feichen looked at Qi Ji and said, "Has this recording been edited?"
Qi Ji nodded,
Meng Feichen: "I guess so. But this matter is still very difficult. The other party's requirements are not high. They just want you to write two songs and we can work together. This is a thing of the past."
Qi Ji said: "But I don't want to compromise."
"Well, we have suffered a loss in this matter. We will definitely get it back if we have the chance in the future." Meng Feichen was still very sober, "But you must pay attention to it in the future, especially keep your pants under control. The origin is unknown.
No woman can touch it."
Qi Ji nodded, but without pressing too much, he directly played the complete recording to Meng Feichen.
Hearing this, Meng Feichen's eyes became brighter and brighter.
He heard that he dialed Zhao Xiaohua's phone number directly.
