Few people can understand what he is talking about. Director Guo’s enthusiasm is misplaced.
After the meeting, Guo Fan was unhappy and carried his model back to the local hotel. He lamented that the overall quality of domestic actors was not enough, which prevented him from showing off. But not long after, the door to his room rang.
This is Chen Jianbin.
Why is it him?
Guo Fan opened the door and forgot to greet the more senior Chen Jianbin for a moment. The other party bit the bullet and said first: "Director Guo, I'm here to ask you for advice."
Aren’t high-quality actors here?
Guo Fanru woke up from his dream and asked him to come in: "Ah! What do you want to ask Teacher Chen? Ah! What are you asking me for? You are too polite."
Chen Jianbin glanced at the small sand table in the room, "I want to ask you about that lens... I understand a little bit, but I don't know why it is handled like this."
"What specifically?"
"I know that using firelight can reflect the complexity of characters, and I also know that if arranged properly, it will be quite exciting...but where did this creative idea come from?"
Guo Fan thought for a while and replied: "Fire symbolizes destruction, which is a force majeure in fate. Mortals are so small, but they struggle with fate and are finally reborn from the ashes. This is also in line with Director Fang's thinking about war - he said
He acts as a witness and recorder, which means restoring historical facts. But once anything is recorded, it is from the perspective of the recorder himself, so it is no longer objective from the moment it is taken. Are you right?
"
Chen Jianbin: "Then what do you think Director Fang is thinking?"
"Didn't I say it? If you don't destroy, you don't stand. You are reborn from the ashes. Fire is destruction, but fire is also hope."
Chen Jianbin thought about his words for a while and then said: "Do we have to take so much into consideration? Is it over-interpretation? I don't think the audience could understand it at the time."
Guo Fandao: "That's why it has to be a big scene. Commercial movies often have a scene that costs the most money, which is what foreigners often call mo - it's not necessary for the audience to understand what it means after it's filmed. The audience can just watch it as a surprise."
He still had more to say: "What did Director Jiang Wen say? Even if some movies have high box office, they are just garbage. Five or ten years later, when you think about it, you slap your thigh, hey! Grandson! What kind of garbage did you stuff for me at that time?"
Ah, I watched it with great interest. You are kidding me!"
"——But ours is the opposite. Many years later, when you think about this paragraph, you will understand...Oh, it turns out that Director Fang still has this intention. Maybe he will watch it again. He earns you dozens of dollars for the ticket, and you give it to him.
I am willing to have no regrets. What is this? This is word of mouth!"
Chen Jianbin was said to be very fascinated, "It turns out that he still has so many ideas. He is indeed a great director who has won awards and box office. He takes one step and counts it on three or four steps."
Guo Fan: "I went a bit far, but why are you interested in this?"
Chen Jianbin raised his head, a little shy and sonorous: "I also want to be a director!"
He said this to Fang Yi a few years ago. At that time, Chen Jianbin was the producer of "New Three Kingdoms" and said that the TV series could gain both fame and fortune through such nonsense - he could replace it.
I, Chen Jianbin, can also be a director.
But this has not been realized yet. It is too difficult to be a director.
Chen Jianbin has a very high reputation. The reason why he participated in Fang Yi's film at a friendly price, after several months of hard work, was because he wanted to observe the operation ideas of this great director's junior brother up close, so that he could make a solo film in the future.
He had already thought of the title himself, "A Spoon".
Chen Jianbin told Guo Fan the whole story in detail, and the two talked for a long time. After they got excited, they went out for a walk along the hotel. They walked in circles without getting tired.
Finally, Chen Jianbin asked Guo Fan: "How did Fang Yi become a director?"
Guo Fan asked back: "You want to say, how do newcomers become a director, right?" Without waiting for his answer, Guo Fan continued: "Being a director requires all aspects of quality, including professional knowledge, artistic ability, innovative consciousness, and even emotional intelligence.
and relationships...but most importantly, imagination.”
At this moment, the two of them turned to the front door and looked up. There were not many windows that let out light in the entire hotel. The hotel was fully booked by the crew, and it was obvious that most people had already rested.
Guo Fan took his own "small sand table" model as an example: "You see, it takes a while to understand such an idea once it is spoken. I also made a model for reference. When Director Fang thought of this, he was confused about everything.
No, it’s just a fantasy in my mind. Do you think he is great? Experience and skills can be made up for it, but aura is rare. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it.”
Chen Jianbin listened silently without retorting a word. As an actor, he is at the professor level, but as a director, he is at the middle school student level.
Guo Fan is a backbone in the director world. In the eyes of people like him, Junior Brother Fang is so awesome.
By chance, Guo Fan also saw that a certain piece of glass above was still lit, and said, "That's Director Fang's room... Look, he's still working hard right now! He's a genius, he's a hard-working person, both of them are great."
Once combined, it’s so rare!”
Yeah?
Chen Jianbin looked up for a while, but the light never stopped, and he had to admit: "Director Fang really worked hard."
——————
Inside the lighted glass, Fang Yi was talking on the phone with Liu Tianxian.
The two of them are really diligent in maintaining their relationship. This circle has its own special characteristics, with less gathering and more separation, so the two always try their best to spend time together.
Now that we are in a different place, we can only come and chat with each other.
Liu Tianxian said: "I haven't come to visit the class yet, and I will go to your place recently while it's not too cold yet. You must not be caught doing bad things."
"Welcome, when will you come?"
"I won't tell you! I'm going to launch a surprise attack. If I tell you, you'll be prepared... Who knows what you're going to do, maybe I'll catch you, huh."
Fang Yi was a little sleepy. He sat up and pressed his eyebrows: "I said this as if I had done something wrong. You can come at any time and place. I am only happy but not surprised. But you have to pay attention to your safety.
"
"Man! I know how to coax people." She said, "I traveled thousands of miles alone, passed five levels and killed six generals, traveled over mountains and ridges, and came here specially to meet Director Fang. Only the moon knows how loyal I am to this friendship."
Fang Yi said: "Your seated BMW is a Boeing 737, which corresponds to Guan Erye's red rabbit horse. But who are you escorting? This allusion is inappropriate here."
"I'll escort myself, can't I?"
Fang Yi couldn't help laughing: "That's good.
"Remember, Fang Yi. I can come anytime. Don't be too surprised to see me."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yi felt much better. He opened the window and saw the moon, and couldn't help but recall the conversation between the two.
