037 The wind blows on campus, the great sage returns
It can be said that "Screening Room 10" is the originator of all film and television self-media and the "sage teacher" of UP film critics.
After it, all major and small film and television commentaries had its shadow. Before it, the TV system in mainland China did not have such columns to introduce popular movies, movie characters and hot topics.
In the cold winter of film and television at the beginning of the millennium, it was like adding fuel to the fire, enlightening many movie fans.
At least, Lu Fei counts as one.
The production team of this column, including Wang Lihuan and Tu Xiaowen, all looked at each other with rich and exciting expressions.
What a coincidence, "Vision", which is two years away from birth, is China's first film review program created by them!
"so much?"
Tu Xiaowen roughly scanned the first page, and it turned out to be a program plan. He flipped through more than 20 pages. Attached to the plan were three film review scripts, with boldface titles clearly visible:
"The King of Comedy: Zhou Xingchi", "Westward Journey: The Moonlight Box", "Westward Journey: The Marriage of the Great Sage".
Each copy is roughly estimated to be at least 10,000 words.
"Mr. Lu, your film review is too long. The length of your program is at least forty or fifty minutes."
"45 minutes."
Lu Fei also proposed to directly use clips from the movie in the broadcast screen, and splice the essence of the film through secondary editing.
Before each paragraph's commentary and synchronized sound, the time when the corresponding scene appears is marked. Treat the editor as a tool and just cut according to the instructions.
"After all, film art is the art of light and shadow. Text is still not enough to show the charm of movies. We can't just let the audience rely on their imagination. In case the audience has not seen the movie, the video explanation is to let the audience understand..."
"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to know so much about movies." Wang Lihuan admired sincerely.
"I understand a little, I understand a little, I understand a little bit." Lu Fei said politely.
Is this called a little bit?
Tu Xiaowen carefully browsed through the plan and blinked in disbelief. It almost overturned the "Vision" they planned. It was like an upgraded and optimized plus version, and it was the kind that could be used directly.
"But isn't it too serious to make fun of it like this?"
"Ridicule is about being angry at someone's misfortune and lamenting about their misfortune. The premise of all anger and ridicule is to love movies. Do you still need to find various angles to praise a bad movie?"
Lu Fei set the sponsorship price at 60,000 for the third period.
Don't think it's small, "Screen Lighting" doesn't receive advertisements all year round, and it's not like ordinary advertisements. What he planned only required editing and dubbing, and the cost was only a few hundred yuan.
After talking for a while, the special program was called "Screening Room 10", and the sponsorship increased by 10,000, to a total of 70,000.
But there was a condition: he would choose the voice actors.
As a result, the dubbing voices from the science and education channel gathered in a computer room, and Lu Fei stood on the other side of the soundproof glass, wearing headphones and listening to the sound.
"Next."
Seeing him shaking his head frequently, Tu Xiaowen frowned and called the names one by one. However, after calling the last person, he was still not satisfied.
"Mr. Lu, these are the only people in our channel, none of them can do it?"
"No more? There is still that person."
Lu Feixin pointed his hand at the man standing at the edge of the computer room. He waved his hands repeatedly and quickly explained that he was a student of Yanjing Broadcasting Institute (now China Media) and was just here for an internship.
However, I just let him try it and get it on the shelves.
As soon as he spoke, the thick broadcasting accent sounded like this familiar voice, authentic!
After all, Zhang Xiaobei's lyrics and Long Bing's dubbing, without any of them, it wouldn't have the flavor of "Screening Room 10".
"The voice is good, it's just him."
Lu Fei named Long Bing by name, and then asked Wang Lihuan to whisper about cooperation on another program.
Wang Lihuan was surprised, "Will Peking University launch a TED speech conference?"
…………
"Cooperate with the Science and Education Channel?"
Minister Kong looked at Lu Fei who knocked on his door, and then moved his eyes to the TED speech conference plan he sent.
"The minister won't blame me for unnecessary trouble, right?" Lu Fei said.
I don't blame him for cutting it off first and telling it later. One of the most important links in "Let's Talk" is the CCTV channel, and now, he has settled it.
The most wonderful thing is that Lu Fei is inserted in the middle.
Even if he fails in the end, it has nothing to do with him and Peking University. It is his business with the Science and Education Channel. But once he succeeds, it is purely a matter of picking something up.
It makes it easy for people to move in and out, and it’s comfortable!
The more Minister Kong looked at him, the more he liked him. He said with a smile: "You and Xu Lei are friends, Xu Lei and I are also friends. We are all friends. Call me Brother Kong."
While talking, put the plan together.
"Brother Kong, besides this matter, I also need your help with something."
Lu Fei plans to develop both offline and online, and set up a similar movie theater to screen "Westward Journey" for free. As for whether the school charges admission fees, it has nothing to do with him.
"You always come up with new ideas for me."
Minister Kong was teasing, but his eyes were bright.
These days, Kyoto University has no food left!
The country is poor and has a huge funding gap. For example, some universities even invest in the stock market and run businesses. However, they have no experience and lose all their money, which makes things worse.
Tickets generate revenue, even mosquito legs are still meat!
He agreed excitedly: "Kyoto University Centenary Auditorium, how is it there?"
…………
November 1, Shuimu University basketball court.
The recruitment advertisement hanging on the partition has been replaced by a poster for "Westward Journey".
"Hey, starring Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda? Why haven't I seen this movie?"
"Didn't you read the introduction? It was a re-release of an old movie released in 1995, at 8 o'clock tonight in the auditorium..."
"How about going to watch Mr. Xing's movie together tonight!"
"..."
The people watching the poster were chattering, some said not to go, some said they wanted to go, they hugged each other in twos and threes, and suddenly an exclamation broke out from the crowd:
"Wow, the ticket price is only one yuan!"
In an instant, all the fence-sitters in the middle immediately defected to the movie-watching camp. Nowadays, there are no more than 1,000 movie theaters across the country, and the number of screens is only more than 1,000. Because of the bleak business, maintenance and operation have to increase the ticket price, forty or fifty yuan a piece.
.
There is almost no difference in price from later generations!
With this kind of money, wouldn’t it be nice to rent plates and go to Internet cafes?
However, when such a "1 yuan movie ticket" suddenly appeared, students gathered together and rushed to the auditorium. Even if they didn't want to watch it, those who had seen it were forced to follow due to social pressure.
Everyone in the dormitory is going, but you’re not going?
My girlfriend wants to go, but you don’t want to go?
Soon, there was a long queue at the door. Thanks to Lu Fei who greeted the school and arranged security in advance to maintain order.
Students came in one after another. There was no seat number. It was first come, first served. There were more than 900 seats. Looking around, it was crowded and about two-thirds were full.
At this time, the lights are bright and the screen is still white.
On the stage in front of them, they saw Lu Fei standing on it, whispering to each other.
"who is he?"
"I do not know."
"Hmm, it seems to be Lu Fei."
"It looks so familiar. I seem to have heard of it somewhere."
"He has given lectures before and is very popular among engineering students in the Department of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. We often see posts discussing him on MBS..."
"Ahem."
There was a cough from the speaker, Lu Fei held the microphone, interrupted the discussion in the audience, and got straight to the point.
"Zhou Xingchi, as students should all know, is Mr. Xing. This title came from the golden age of Hong Kong movies because his movies were so popular, but "Westward Journey" did not, and both movies were box office hits.
Mr. Xing lost all his newly established company."
"Old viewers think, how can Sun Wukong fall in love with the White Bone Demon? He doesn't distinguish between humans and monsters, which is a blasphemy against the classics, but in fact, he is totally wrong."
"In the Journey to the West paintings circulated among the people before the Ming Dynasty, Sun Wukong was a lustful monkey with seven emotions and six desires. It was only Wu Chengen who compiled, adapted and reshaped the folk tales to create the current "Journey to the West". The 1986 version of the TV series is also based on the original work.
Adapted.”
He finally concluded: "So this movie of Master Xing is not a waste of classics. I hope you will like it. I hope everyone can find the Sun Dasheng in their hearts when watching the movie."
"Thanks."
Slowly, the audience burst into sparse applause, neither light nor heavy, neither more nor less.
Lu Fei bowed, then turned left and stepped off the stage.
The lights were turned off in the theater, and the surroundings were dark, with only the large screen shining brightly.
