entertainment first

On the small stage in the courtyard, Xiao Yang and Wang Li sang with their guitars in their arms. Their expressions no longer had the indignation they had when they were young and frivolous, but they only had the calmness that has settled over the years.

Looking at them, Bi Xia turned up the short film "Oldboy" in his mind. This short film was particularly deep in his memory. It spread rapidly on the Internet almost overnight, touching a large number of audiences from all ages. Many people

People shed tears of regret for their youth.

It tells the story of a pair of good friends from middle school who formed a band to participate in the "Happy Boys" talent show when they were middle-aged, because a song brought them back to their youth and the past. This touching song "Old Boy" moved people

All viewers.

The film describes these young people and the changes of this era with gorgeous shots. Why are you so moved? The reason may be the same, it is the diamond-like memories that remain after years of refinement. Maybe we can all be in this light and shadow,

Find your own shadow, find your own memories of time and youth.

Although Bi Xia is a rookie in the director world, it does not prevent him from knowing how to appreciate a film. Whether a film is successful, his script must highlight contradictions, the rhythm must be tense, the pictures must be expressive, and the content must be

its core idea.

Although this "Oldboy" is not long, it expresses a lot of content. Xiao Dabao was a gangster when he was a student, and twenty years later he was a crappy wedding host; Wang Xiaoshuai is a dance lover who loves Michael Jackson deeply.

The author, a man of the hour, had a crush on the school belle and was also liked by a fat girl. In the end, he ran a small barber shop and married the fat girl; Bao Xiaobai was a gangster who was bullied by Xiao Dabao, but twenty years later he was

A successful producer married the school beauty of that year.

The background of the characters is full of dramatic contradictions. These contradictory designs and gorgeous shots all serve to tell a story of youth and dreams.

"Brother Xia, what are you thinking about?" Huang Xu also saw that Bi Xia had been in a daze after Xiao Yang and Wang Li left, so he reached out and pushed him.

"I've thought of what I want to take a picture of!" A smile appeared on Bi Xia's calm face, and his tone was full of determination and confidence.

"Are you sure?" Zhu Jianye asked. Although their graduation works cannot determine their future heights, they are very important to them who have just graduated and are related to their future acceptance by the crew.

"Well, it's a great story. I'll go back and write the script." After listening to what Xiao Yang and Wang Li said, Bi Xia's feeling about the film "Oldboy" was completely different from the first time he watched it. Chapter 1

Once it was memory and recognition, a feeling of déjà vu, now it is emotion, deep thought, and a deeper interpretation.

Back home, Bi Xia made himself a cup of tea. Looking at the steam rising in the cup, Bi Xia once again silenced his thoughts.

Compared with other people who write scripts and need to simulate the plot in their brains, Bi Xia is much simpler. He restores the script after watching the movie. What he needs is to replace some content in the script that does not fit the world background.

.

For example, Michael Jackson, a superstar in the memory world, does not exist here, but Bishop's world also has an American superstar. He was also born black and was an accomplished singer and dancer. He pioneered dances such as the moonwalk and machine dance.

His album sales exceeded 700 million copies.

In 2008, the superstar named James Jackson passed away at the age of 55. It triggered global condolences and remembrances, leaving the world with a regret.

Listening to the story of Xiao Yang and Wang Li today touched Bi Xia a lot. He asked himself more than once, what would he be like in ten years without this memory? He also felt more and more "Old Boy"

》The emotions expressed in this short film!

The black humor in the play can resonate with people who grew up in that era as well as with today's young people. When everyone was young, they had many uninhibited ideas and unbridled ideas.

Dreamy. But when everyone is in their 30s and the thirtieth year passes quietly, life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing our appearance. Those who used to accompany me, where are you? What are you doing?

Do you still remember those days of youth? Do you still remember the dreams we had? When you think of these things, will you smile gently? Will you leave tears of vicissitudes of life or happiness?

?

At the same time, he thought about his time in middle school, when he seemed to have been a complete failure. He had no friends or anyone to accompany him. It was only when he was in the army that he got better and became more cheerful, and he made many friends.

At the same time, he also realized more clearly about dreams and reality, which made his heart stronger. The path of a director is not easy to follow. Behind the glamor of the entertainment industry is a single-plank bridge full of thorns. If he had not unexpectedly received this gift from another world

Memory, maybe he'll be eliminated halfway through the journey.

Therefore, Bi Xia is full of gratitude for life. What he will achieve in the future is a miracle given to him by life.

The next day, when Bi Xia handed the script called "Old Boy" to Huang Xuyi and Zhu Jianye, they were stunned.

Maybe they are not over forty or thirty years old, maybe they are not deeply involved in the world, but the wonderful thing about the film "Oldboy" is that it allows people of all ages to find their own shadow in the film. Because everyone

Everyone has a youth, a dream, and a woman in their heart.

"Shoot! It must be shot!" Huang Xuyi waved the script excitedly, "Brother Xia, I didn't say anything, this book must be shot!"

"Xiao Xia, this book is not simple. There are a lot of people designing it, and there are many scenes, so the cost may be a bit high." Zhu Jianye also knew that the script was very good, but having had an experience, he considered it more comprehensively and pointed out

The core of the problem.

Bi Xia was stunned. At that time, he had been thinking about what to shoot, but never considered whether he could realize it. The longer a short film is, the more complicated the story involved, and the personnel, venue, equipment, and funds must all be considered.

And a film like "Oldboy" can actually be said to be a complete film. Its story structure is very complete, and even with a little filling, it can be shot as a low-budget film.

"As actors, we can invite classmates or teachers from school to make guest appearances, and the fee can be waived." Huang Xuyi thought for a while and said.

"We can discuss the scenes involved with some schools and find a solution from the head office. I can do the editing myself. I have the whole story in my mind. The filming is difficult, and I also want to test my abilities through this film."

Bi Xia reached out and touched his nose, thought about it, and decided to take a photo of it.

"The main issue is funding. Even if the venue and film remuneration are free, we can rent or borrow equipment from the school, but film also costs money, as well as the crew's expenses. How much money do you have?" Zhu Jianye took out a pen and started writing on the paper.

Calculate the previous column.

"I...I only have 50,000." Bi Xia's voice became more and more frustrated as he spoke. In fact, before this, he had always thought that at least he would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Unexpectedly, he was trapped in the first step. If he had waited two more

In just a few months, Bi Xia was able to collect the money, but now, a penny really stumps the heroic man!

"I can also contribute 50,000 to 60,000!" Huang Xuyi gritted his teeth and said, while muttering: "This is the private money I finally saved." Huang Xuyi's family is in good condition, and he is not considered rich.

, but it can be considered above moderately prosperous.

"I have saved more than 20,000 yuan in the past two years, let's do the math first!" Zhu Jianye pushed up his glasses and was obligated, but then he asked: "Then let's consider this over. We will think of ways to solve it now.

Actor, who is the starring role?”

"Starring?" Huang Xuyi suddenly raised his head, glanced at Zhu Jianye and Bi Xia, and raised his voice.

"Starring..." A clear smile appeared on Bi Xia's face.

"Haha!" The three of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.
