Entertainment: God-level director

Today happens to be the first day of the second semester of senior year. Later in the evening, the other three people in the dormitory arrived.

As usual, the four of them went out for dinner in the evening, and then went to a nightclub in the Workers' Stadium to spend the night.

However, Lin Ran was not familiar with them now. They just had dinner together and went back to the dormitory on the excuse that they were not feeling well.

Nine o'clock in the morning the next day.

The counselor held the first class meeting of the new semester

"Students, this is the last semester of your undergraduate program. We have completed all professional courses. Your biggest task this semester is to shoot a graduation project.

This can also be regarded as a test of the knowledge you have learned in the past four years, and everyone must take it seriously.

If your graduation film is good, you might be able to directly attract investment and direct a feature film for theaters.……"

Counselor Wang Haiyi warned seriously.

After hearing his words, many of the twenty people in the audience showed yearning looks in their eyes.

For a new director, the most difficult thing is to attract investment.

In his previous life, Lin Ran spent seven years drinking with investors until he almost vomited blood before he managed to secure an investment of 30 million yuan.

"It's not that easy, just take your time and gain qualifications.

Lin Ran’s roommate Li Yuxing shook his head.

"Give it a try, just in case it works. Lin

Ran smiled and said

"This is smaller than the chance of winning the 5 million lottery. How good are we at that we don’t even have the numbers in mind?

If you were an investor, would you dare to hand over tens of millions to a novice?"

Li Yuxing still shook his head.

Lin Ran didn't say any more, because Li Yuxing told the truth.

Wen Muye, the director of"I'm Not the God of Medicine" in his previous life, had a master's degree in directing from Nortel.

In 2011, he wrote and directed the short film"Jinlan" Guiqin", which won the Outstanding Director and Outstanding Screenwriter Award in the 5th Shandong Youth Micro Film Competition in 2012. He directed a feature film.《BATTLE》, the film won the 7th FIRST Youth Film Festival Jury Special Award and the 2013 FIRST Youth Film Festival Filming Season Outstanding Film Award.

In 2014, he directed the short film"Requiem", which won the Macao Tianlong Micro Film Director Award in the Micro Film College Student Group at the 6th Macau International Film Festival.

Looking at this resume, how many of you here can achieve this level?

As a result, even Wen Muye still waited until 2015 to participate in the romance movie"City in Love", and he only directed one unit of it.

This movie has many stars including Damimi, Ruan Jingtian, Jiang Shuying, Huang Xuan, Bai Baihe, etc., but the box office is only 53.59 million, which can be said to be a big hit.

If it weren't for Ning Hao's appreciation and being able to direct"I'm Not the God of Medicine", Wen Muye doesn't know when he would be able to make a name for himself.

Therefore, even if you make a short film that is recognized by the industry, it will still be difficult to get investment.

If you don’t have a strong background, then slowly gain qualifications.

At this moment, Lin Ran felt very lucky.

With so many film and television resources in his previous life, it would be much easier for him to get started than these classmates.

After the class meeting, Lin Ran returned to the dormitory, turned on the computer, and thought about what to shoot for his graduation project.

The graduation project of the directing department is usually a short film of less than 20 minutes.

To be honest, it is very difficult to shoot a stunning work within 20 minutes.

But a French short film suddenly appeared in Lin Ran's mind, and he immediately searched it on Google.

No!

"That’s it!"

Lin Ran made a decision immediately.

Yes, Lin Ran was going to shoot"The Tuner" that many people had seen.

This short film tells the story of a piano tuner who pretended to be blind after the murder.

Although this is a short film of only fourteen minutes, the tension of the plot is not surprising.

The film uses a short and concise concept to show the greed, cowardice, and hypocrisy of human nature. The tuner who pretends to be blind is full of powerful dramatic tension, especially the mystery of whether the tuner was killed at the end, which triggered a lot of discussion among the audience, whether on Douban or Zhihu. They were all so noisy.

After watching this short film in his previous life, Lin Ran was so shocked that he watched it over and over again in order to understand the final puzzle, not missing any detail.

After so long, Lin Ran remembered all the plot of this short film clearly.~~~

Lin Ran opened the Word document and started writing the script directly.

This is only a 14-minute short film, and it only took Lin Ran more than an hour to complete it.

However, as a director, he must also draw a storyboard.

The so-called storyboard script is an intermediate medium that converts text into three-dimensional audio-visual images, designs corresponding pictures, configures music and sound, and controls the rhythm and style of the film.

The role of the storyboard script is like the blueprint of a building. It is the basis and blueprint for photographers to shoot and editors to carry out post-production. It is also the basis for actors and all creative staff to understand the director's intention, understand the content of the script, and re-create.

In the industry, scripts are for actors to read, while storyboards are for directors to read.

PS: Nowadays, storyboard scripts are no longer necessarily drawn by the director himself. Many directors hire professional storyboard artists to draw them.
