Two days passed by in a flash, and the news came from Lao Hu that the contract was officially terminated. Major portal websites also reported the news at large lengths.
Hu Ge has stayed in this company for more than ten years and has experienced many things, including highs and lows, but none of them have been the focus of reporters.
What they want to know most is where their next home will be.
Should he establish his own studio like some celebrities, or should he look for a new owner?
However, no matter how they searched, there was no trace of Hu Ge.
Lao Hu had anticipated this outcome in advance and ran abroad to hide.
After learning that he had gone abroad, Qin Xiaobao and Kiwi Tao basically felt relieved. Things should not change. They could just wait and wait for the limelight to subside before signing the contract.
"Buried Alive" is still in negotiation. The three major platforms want to join, and there are still many details that need to be worked out during the process.
Once these two things are resolved, Qin Xiaobao can go to school safely.
On March 14th, he got up early.
Or maybe I didn't sleep well last night, and suddenly I had to go to school, and I always felt a little... uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Wang Bingbing kept comforting him on the phone, telling him not to think too much. He was in the same grade as college students, and he didn’t have to study with a big beard. There would be purchasing agents.
There are many celebrities who go to further their studies, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to it.
I actually understand the principle, but doing it is another matter.
Xiaoming hadn't come back yet, so Qin Xiaobao didn't ask the company to send anyone else, so he drove to school by himself.
The Shanghai Academy of Drama is also very famous across the country. Hu Ge, Han Xue, Li Youbin, Li Bingbing... many celebrities graduated from this school.
Qin Xiaobao also came to the school last year when he was promoting "This Man is from the Earth", but his mood was completely different from now.
After entering the gate, I parked my car, picked up my schoolbag and stood in the sun, taking a deep breath.
What he was wearing today was no different from ordinary young people, with a jacket on top, jeans on the bottom and sneakers, no sunglasses, and no hat.
When he entered the school, he was no longer a star, but an ordinary student.
However, looking at the huge campus, Qin Xiaobao was confused, what the hell, how to get out.
The company had told him how to get there before, but when he got here, he was instantly confused.
However, this is a small problem, just keep your words.
Qin Xiaobao saw several girls passing by and walked over quickly: "Hello, classmate, excuse me, where is the multimedia classroom No. 9?"
A girl with a ponytail pointed in the direction: "Over there, Building 6, you are in the directing department, right? Don't you all go to see the classroom in advance?"
"Wait a minute, junior, you look familiar." Another girl tilted her head.
"Qin Xiaobao?"
"Hello, seniors." Qin Xiaobao nodded with a smile.
"No, no, no, Director Qin, are you here to give a lecture?" Ponytail also recognized it: "I'm sorry, I really thought you were a student just now."
"Director Qin himself is more handsome."
"Director Qin..."
"You didn't get me wrong, I'm just here for class. I'm a freshman non-staff student in the directing department." Qin Xiaobao gestured to the bag in his hand: "The seniors must be in the acting department."
"Yes, how did Director Qin know?"
"Look at the appearance."
Several girls are laughing, this is a compliment.
After chatting for a while, Qin Xiaobao said goodbye: "Today is the first day of class. I can't be late. Let's talk again when we have a chance."
"Goodbye, Director Qin."
"Director Qin, why don't I treat you to a meal in the cafeteria at noon?"
"Thank you, you're welcome." Qin Xiaobao waved and left, leaving a few girls standing there cheering.
Soon, posts appeared on the campus forum.
"Breaking news, the famous director Qin Xiaobao has entered the directing department of our school to study. There are pictures and the truth."
"I thought it was fake, but it turned out to be true?"
"You're not here to discuss business, are you? He's already made a movie with a box office of 800 million, and he's still here to learn?"
"It's really our school."
"If anyone knows someone from the directing department, let me ask."
"I seem to have seen an interview. Qin Xiaobao said that he should conduct systematic study."
"You're not here for gold plating, are you?"
"Do I need plating? I am already a successful director."
Naturally, Qin Xiaobao didn't know that a small disturbance had already occurred before class started. He followed the senior sister's prompts and found the classroom where the class was held.
Looking through the window, there was already a teacher talking inside, and he quickly knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Qin Xiaobao opened the door: "Hello, teacher, hello everyone!"
"Oh..." There were not many people in the classroom. Including Qin Xiaobao, there were nine students in total, all boys. After seeing him, they all exclaimed.
"Qin...Hello, Xiaobao, I am a counselor, my name is Zheng Qiuyuan." Teacher Zheng originally wanted to call Director Qin, but after thinking about it, he decided to call him by his first name. After all, he was here for class.
"Hello, Teacher Zheng!" Qin Xiaobao shook hands with him, and the two came to the podium.
"Let me introduce to you the transfer student in our class, Qin Xiaobao!"
Bang bang bang bang!
"Are you sure Director Qin is not here for class?" a student asked.
Qin Xiaobao shook his head: "I am a student just like you."
There was a buzz of discussion, and Teacher Zheng pressed his hand: "Everyone should know Director Qin Xiaobao, why don't I tell you a few words."
He gave way.
"Hello classmates, we are in the same grade. I hope you can take care of me in the future. The purpose of my coming here is also very clear, which is to study. Although I have made a feature film and the box office is not bad, it is because I have participated in practical work.
, only then did I understand the importance of professional knowledge and discovered many of my own shortcomings.
Fortunately, the school is willing to give me an opportunity to study with excellent classmates and under the guidance of excellent teachers. Don't worry, I am just a non-staff member and not a clerical employee."
"Hahahaha!" The audience burst into laughter.
"There's nothing else. Let's all get along well. I'll treat you to lunch."
"Oh oh oh!"
Teacher Zheng was laughing on the side. There was a big gap between artists and students. In just a few words, he not only explained the purpose of his visit, but also eliminated any possible barriers. The atmosphere was very harmonious. After a few words of warning, he
Leave first.
Before the nine freshmen in the directing department had time to exchange names, the professor who was attending class came in.
The old professor's surname was Chen. He didn't take a second look at Qin Xiaobao's existence. After introducing himself, he asked everyone to close their textbooks.
"Come on, for the first class, let's not talk about the content in the book. Let's talk about what kind of person the director is in your heart."
After a moment of silence, a boy raised his hand, and Professor Chen raised his chin to indicate that he could speak.
"I think the director is the captain. He takes charge of the overall situation. Lighting, photography, props, and actors are like various accessories on the ship. The director needs to coordinate and arrange so that the big ship of the work can sail smoothly."
"Well, that's good, is there anything else?"
"I think the director should be a scholar who understands art, culture, and science in order to produce good works." Another boy said.
"Well, not bad, is there anything else?"
The remaining people looked at each other in confusion. They thought what the two classmates said was good, but they felt that the teacher was not satisfied.
"Qin Xiaobao, right?" Seeing that no one answered, Professor Chen directly named him: "You have made movies. You are different from them. What do you think a director should be like?"
Qin Xiaobao stood up: "The two classmates said it well. The director is indeed the leader and backbone of a team. His decision will determine the next movements of hundreds of people in the crew, and even the quality of the work.
Directors do need to master a lot of knowledge, lighting, editing, acting skills, and even prices, because if you exceed it, the producer may come to you and complain."
The classmates were all laughing, and the corners of the professor's mouth were also slightly raised.
"In my opinion, the director is not that mysterious. He is actually a storyteller. He is a medium. He is the one who transforms the thick script from words into pictures. Only by learning to tell stories first can there be follow-up. Actors
The performance, camera switching, lighting, props, and other factors are all designed to make the story richer, more interesting, and more popular."
The students fell into deep thought, and Professor Chen gently clapped his palms a few times.
"Actually, there is no standard answer to this question. The way each person answers represents what he or she thinks is the most important part of the work. For example, if you think it's the special effects of a movie, that's right. Look at some Hollywood commercial films. The special effects are gorgeous. It's really
As for the storytelling, forget about it, but the box office is still high."
Professor Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Why there are so many directors in the circle now, and everyone has a different style. First of all, it has a lot to do with your own point of view.
Come on, students who have watched "This Man Came from Earth" please raise your hands."
Hurrah, everyone raised their hands.
"You may not understand yet. Let me explain it. There are many, many reasons why a movie is excellent. For specific details, you can refer to the major film award ceremonies. Each award there is a praise for the work.
Some movies may have average box office, but the music is very good, which is also an advantage; some movies have actors that are criticized, but the plots are exciting, which is also an advantage."
Qin Xiaobao listened very carefully. This was a professional comment.
""The Man from Earth" is definitely a success from a commercial perspective. It cost 8 million and earned 800 million at the box office. Of course, it also contains factors of hype. We will talk about these later, but let's not talk about them today.
talk.
Classmate, what do you think of the movie story?"
“It’s exciting, unexpected, and very imaginative.”
"Yes, that's right," Professor Chen nodded: "However, there are still some shortcomings. The first is the lens, which is too monotonous and lacks any skills. Apart from close-ups, it is panoramic or half-view. After watching it, at least
There are five places where the characters’ positions are deviated... Let’s talk about the lighting..."
Professor Chen talked eloquently. The more Qin Xiaobao listened, the more he admired him. It was normal for other students to be a little confused because they just watched the movie as a movie.
He himself is an experiencer, and he can quickly recall the shots he mentioned, and there are indeed some problems.
Professor Chen could even guess his state of mind at that time, which was a bit scary.
"In my opinion, Qin Xiaobao has his own personal understanding of movies. He comes to school to learn some basic things or to gather the strengths of others, right?"
"You can say that!" He did not deny: "The main reason is that I don't have basic knowledge, so it is easy to make mistakes and make mistakes. After all, film is an art that combines audiovisual and audiovisual. All links are important and indispensable. Teachers still need guidance.
You can make fewer mistakes in the future.”
"Look, 800 million directors care so much about the basics. Do you know what to do in the future?" Professor Chen patted the table.
"I know!" the students answered together.
Qin Xiaobao understood that he was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, and he was the chicken!
