"This classmate may not have watched the movie seriously. In fact, I have hinted about it several times in the movie!"
Tang An smiled and spoke calmly, then opened the laptop movie and pulled up the scene when Bai Xiaonian was interrogated.
He turned slightly sideways and pointed at the curtain, "You can see Bai Xiaonian's expression when he reported Jin Shenghuo."
"At the beginning, Bai Xiaonian suddenly closed his eyes, which was a subconscious action to hide the hatred in his eyes!"
"The way you looked at him after that was always filled with hatred, and your tone also emphasized that Jin Shenghuo has a nephew who is a senior executive in Yanpin."
"Look at this scene again!"
Tang An dragged him behind, "Jin Shenghuo knew that Bai Xiaonian had slandered him, and the two quarreled. Bai Xiaonian said, "I don't believe you can get hard." After saying this, Jin Shenghuo endured it.
!”
Tang An looked directly at the student and said with a smile, "Does this classmate understand?"
Without waiting for his answer, Tang An asked the audience again, "Which classmate is willing to explain it to him!"
Several students raised their hands, and Tang An randomly selected a boy.
"Hello, Director Tang, I am a third-year student in the directing department."
The student said hello to Tang An awkwardly, and then expressed his thoughts, "I think the character Bai Xiaonian should be a rabbit master. Jin Shenghuo mentioned that he was originally Jin Shenghuo's person. Later Jin Shenghuo might
Since I couldn’t do that, I still wanted to please the commander, so I gave Bai Xiaonian to the commander.”
The more the student spoke, the more confident he became, "That's why Bai Xiaonian hates Jin Shenghuo so much. When Jin Shenghuo was scolded, he said, "I don't believe you can get hard." Although he appeared frustrated, he was not particularly angry. He felt guilty.
And in the end, the commander whipped Bai Xiaonian to death almost without hesitation, which also shows that he has no feelings for Bai Xiaonian at all, because it was a gift from someone else!"
"very good!"
Tang An nodded approvingly and motioned for him to sit down.
"This classmate, do you understand now?"
When he said the last four words, Tang An turned his head and looked at the teacher, half-smiling.
The teacher surnamed Yu's face suddenly changed wonderfully when Tang An looked at him like this.
Tang An did not answer by himself, but chose a student. The key was a student from the directing department.
It was definitely a great humiliation for students to answer the teacher's questions. His eyes when he looked at Tang An were even more full of resentment.
Tang An ignored him on the stage and continued to talk to the students, "Every director must be careful when arranging the direction of the plot. The most basic point is to tell the main story clearly and how to use it in a limited time.
Here, tell a complete story to the audience, this is the foundation of a movie."
"In "The Wind", the relationship between Bai Xiaonian and Jin Shenghuo is considered a branch line and has little connection with the main plot, so I chose to blur it out and arrange one or two hints to let the audience use their imagination.
"
"Director Tang, does it mean that apart from the main plot, other plots do not need to be explained clearly?" A student raised his hand to ask.
Tang An shook his head, "It depends on the length of the movie, and when you want to expand a branch line, you must be able to return to the main line in the end. For example, the protagonist is A, and then a supporting character B appears, and along B, C is involved.
D, E, F, G... are getting further and further away, which makes it easy to go off topic. We can arrange for C and A to be connected and return to the main line without being too abrupt, which can make the story fuller...
.”
He spoke at a slow pace on the stage, while in the audience the director and screenwriting students were writing furiously, writing down Tang An's words verbatim.
I talked for seven or eight minutes without taking a breath, and my mouth was a little dry.
Tang An stopped and took a sip of water to let them digest what he said.
Although he was not their teacher, Tang An did not hide it and say some false words just to go through the motions.
Having said so much, I don’t know if it will be of any use to them. There may be many people who are dismissive of it and have their own ideas.
As for young people, the eldest son, the second eldest child, and my parents all find their words long-winded, but they still really listen to what an outsider says.
But it is also a good thing to save some people from taking detours.
I just took a sip of water and before I even screwed on the lid, another student asked a question.
"Hello Director Tang, may I ask what criteria you use to select actors?"
As soon as these words came out, all the acting students in the classroom looked at Tang An expectantly.
Actors are no different from industries like lighting, makeup, and photography. If the latter are capable, people will rush to get them, but actors are interested in more than just acting skills.
“Choose actors based on roles!”
Tang An thought for a while and wrote these seven words on the blackboard.
He patted the chalk dust on his hands and continued, "In order for an actor to play the role in the film, he must first have a consistent personality. This can be seen from these movies of mine!"
"Yang Mi in "Shark Beach", Zhang Hanyu in "Super Body", Yu Shaoyu in "The Wind"... they all fit the characteristics of the characters and have nothing to do with their fame!"
"Then Director Tang's new movie will also be chosen in this way? Can we go for an audition?" A classmate in the audience suddenly whispered.
"Of course, there are no suitable candidates for some roles. I will issue an audition announcement and all actors who meet the requirements can submit their information to participate!" Tang An said with a smile.
Huayi does an internal screening, and then finds suitable actors from memory. The remaining roles usually don't have many roles.
At this time, a discordant sound suddenly came.
"I heard that Director Tang is preparing a new film and has also invested in a movie. There should be suitable roles among the hundreds of acting students. I wonder if Director Tang can give the students a chance to choose two actors?
"
Tang An frowned and looked at the source of the sound. It was still the teacher who was looking at Tang An with a smile on his face. Looking at his sincere look, people who didn't know would really think that he was seeking benefits for the students.
The students in the audience became excited after hearing this. If Tang An is really selected, even playing a small supporting role will be a rare opportunity. It will be more important than the leading role in ordinary low-budget movies.
"It's over, it's over. If I had known earlier, I would have put on my makeup. I just got up and tidied up and then I came!"
"It would be great if Director Tang takes notice!"
"Aren't you from the photography department? Did you ask a question just now?"
"Nonsense, how can I be a photographer if I can act in Director Tang's play?"
...
Looking at the teacher's expectant eyes, Tang An felt an unknown fire in his heart.
This is coercing all the students into ordering Tang An. Just now I said that selecting actors only depends on whether they fit the role. It’s impossible that there are hundreds of acting students in these schools and not one of them fits the role.
Moreover, it would be funny if I picked a photography or screenwriting student...
Under the expectant eyes of all the students, Tang An glanced around.
There are indeed many second- and third-tier stars who later became famous, and quite a few first-tier stars as well.
Tang An smiled and said, "Since we are here today, I will choose two classmates. The costume fantasy blockbuster "Painted Skin" invested by my studio still lacks a third female role..."
Everyone stared at Tang An's eyes, hoping to stay on them.
"Classmate Yang Mi!"
Tang An pointed at Yang Mi in the crowd and said with a smile, "Don't leave after class. I will give you the director's contact information. Go to the audition by yourself. Whether you can be selected depends on your own efforts!"
Why!
There was a sigh in the crowd, but thinking that Yang Mi had now starred in several film and television dramas, and the recent hit "Struggle" made her even more popular, she no longer believed in Tang An's previous words about not being famous.
Especially as soon as Tang An joined Huayi, Yang Mi took on the two dramas "Struggle" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" in succession. Thinking of some words circulating in the circle, the eyes he looked at Tang An changed again.
Yang Mi was also a little surprised. Tang An didn't tell her before he came.
However, there were so many people present, so he still suppressed the joy in his heart, stood up and said seriously, "Thank you, Director Tang, I will definitely work hard!"
Tang An nodded, regardless of what other people were looking at, and then looked at a few familiar figures in the far left corner of the classroom.
