Senior Superstar

Compared with Li Shixin's previous works, this time "Strange She" can be described as subversive in style.

During the period when Li Shixin was busy filming, the speculation about the new film on Weibo has never stopped.

Li Shixin had already announced the theme of the new film before, and the lead actor in the opening title was An Xiaoxiao, which made all the audience think that this film was following the route of youth idols.

But after watching the first two scenes, not to mention the youth idol, even An Xiaoxiao, the leading actor, was not seen. In addition, the controversial character of the "Shen Mengjun" who is currently on the stage has made the audience completely confused. Senseless.

this film.

What exactly do you want to express? !

"What is this film trying to express?"

Chinese opera, director training class classroom.

A group of future directors-to-be in the entertainment industry looked at the second act of the film with the same expression of bewilderment.

"I've read director Li Shixin's previous films including dramas, but this time I really don't understand. Ordinarily, this kind of narration without the main character at the beginning is already very unpleasant. I really don't understand why he Set up a protagonist with such a personality. Have a grudge against the box office?"

"You forgot that he chose to release this film on the Internet, and he didn't plan to show it on the screen at all. However, judging from the development of the plot to the present level, it is indeed a bit stretched. I used to go straight to the theme with Director Li and closely follow the theme of the story. very different style.”

"That's right, even though the theme of "The Undertaker" is relatively slow, although the opening theme is buried deep enough, the beginning of the story is also closely related to the theme of encoffining."

"If nothing else, this movie should be the one with the worst plot quality directed by Li Shixin."

In the first row of the classroom, the instructor of the refresher class who was sitting on the study table looked at a group of students of different ages and raised his eyebrows.

"So, you concluded that the movie is a bad movie after only two scenes?"

The director training class of Chinese opera is different from the directing class.

This class is similar to the nature of adult training, and it is not aimed at students in the school's majors, or even fresh graduates.

The oldest student in the class is thirty-nine years old, one year older than the head teacher.

The students have different identities before coming to the school. Some are well-known actors who come to broaden their career paths, some are playwrights, and some even work as theater leaders.

But except for those who come to gild, almost every student in the class has a hard-to-read scripture; most of them are not satisfied with their current jobs due to low wages, financial constraints, and hard times. Everyone has an unspeakable feeling. bitter.

They come from 28 provinces and cities across the country, of which 15 are specialized students, 5 are advanced students, and 10 are auditors. The average age is 26 years old.

It is precisely because of this that almost everyone wants to seek a breakthrough and blaze a new path in the new field of directing.

It was precisely because of this that on the last day of the year, when the school was already on vacation, everyone was still gathered in the classroom, studying Li Shixin's new film.

"It's not a bad movie. It's just that compared to Director Li's previous works, the plot appeal of this one is relatively lower."

A student who looked about 30 years old smiled honestly and expressed his thoughts.

Seeing that the other students in the class were convinced, the instructor Wang Jinhai shook his head with a smile.

"So, you are still far from the director's level."

"ah"

Seeing the undisguised disappointment on Wang Jinhai's face, all the classmates put down their phones for a while.

"Teacher, how do you say that?"

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Wang Jinhai shook his head with a smile, and put down his arms that were wrapped around his chest.

"Let's make a bet."

"Teacher, what bet?"

"What are you betting on?"

"Just bet you'll clean the corridors for a month when school starts after the Chinese New Year."

"Success! Anyway, the dirty work of sweeping the corridors is not uncommon in our advanced class. Tell me, teacher, how do you gamble?"

He picked up a piece of chalk and walked to the blackboard in the classroom.

Facing a group of students who were all aggressive, he grinned;

"I said, this film will be the one that director Li Shixin makes the most money and attracts the most fans."

"Impossible!" "The quality of the first two acts, I don't believe that." "Teacher, if you lose, will you clean our dormitory for a month? We are different from the freshmen, we can take care of ourselves , I think you can provide us with a month's worth of wine." "Oh, that's a good proposal!"

Facing the teasing of the students, Wang Jinhai picked up the chalk and wrote four large characters on the blackboard - movie audience!

"You guys, watching the first two scenes of this movie, you don't feel anything. You just feel that this movie doesn't have the depth and rhythm of director Li Shixin's previous works, but have you ever thought that if you change to a female perspective, the opening scene of this movie Is it the same as your perception?"

"Ah, this"

Faced with this question from Wang Jinhai, the elders in the room had nothing to say.

In the silence, Wang Jinhai shook his head.

"And I can tell you responsibly that the opening of this film is far more subtle than you imagined."

"Teacher, how do you say that?"

Facing the problem, Wang Jinhai didn't intend to show off. He directly picked up the chalk and wrote another line of blackboard writing on the blackboard.

"The character's line behavior = the concentrated expression of the character's staged mental journey"

When all the students' attention was focused on that line of writing on the blackboard, Wang Jinhai threw away the chalk stub and patted his palm covered with white ash.

"The external performance of the character is what the director wants the audience to see. But often in some plays, the director will release smoke bombs to confuse the audience with the character's lines and behavior, and make the audience fall into a certain emotion that the director wants. , while ignoring the core of the character, which is about the experience of the character and the motives of all her/his words and deeds.

And often, these things hidden under the plot will be the turning point and emotional breaking point of the play. Think about this meal for Shen Mengjun's family at the end of the second act. Then pull the film well, in this drama, you are likely to see a successful director's routine. I assure you; as long as you can understand even half of this routine, it will not be difficult for you to make a living in the film and television industry in the future. "

Faced with Wang Jinhai's firm conclusion, the students turned on their phones after a little thought, and clicked on the third act of "The Strange She".

Completely calm down, without prejudice, and pull up the next plot;

Whether it is the unexpected illness of the daughter-in-law, or the concentrated outbreak of long-standing family conflicts, in order not to embarrass the son, and to allow the family to survive, there is no room for negotiation about Shen Mengjun going to the nursing home.

After dinner, Shen Mengjun silently packed the dishes and returned to his room.

She is about to embark on a long journey for her life, changing an environment she has lived in for decades, and she needs to clean up.

One side of the old wardrobe seemed to have not been touched for a long time, and the hinges made a creaking rusty sound when opened.

Lifting off the yellowed cloth curtain covering the soft clothes, she took out the clothes inside one by one.

Judging from the style, those clothes are already very old. Some are even covered with large and small holes when they are shaken off because of moths.

Obviously, these clothes have not been worn or even touched for a long time.

After rummaging for a long time, Shen Mengjun finally found a good one among a lot of clothes - it was a cheongsam.

The color of the cheongsam itself is difficult to distinguish, full of gray and dark.

Putting on the cheongsam, Shen Mengjun stood in front of the mirror. Looking at herself in the mirror, the astonishment on her face could no longer be suppressed.

In the mirror is a thick waist, dull skin, buckled on the head like instant noodles, or wisps of gray hair.

The old cheongsam was stretched so tight that there were wrinkled fat folds on the lower abdomen, which looked devoid of beauty and curves.

All of these make up an old old lady.

In sharp contrast, there was a photo of Chen on the desk next to the mirror.

In the photo, a woman in her twenties is wearing a gorgeous blue and white cheongsam.

Although the photo was yellowed, it was difficult to hide the beauty of the woman in the photo; she had long black hair and a slightly haggard face, making her look so charming. A one-year-old baby was in her arms, staring longingly at the woman's cheek.

That was Professor Liu when he was one year old.

"Then, I'll take you there tomorrow."

When Professor Liu was one year old, he stared at his mother eagerly, and when Professor Liu lowered his head at dinner just now, not daring to meet his mother's eyes, there was a striking contrast between this scene at this moment.

The child is big, can't help the mother.

ps: I forgot to mention before that this plot is adapted from the Korean movie "Strange She" and the Chinese version "Twenty Years Old Back". This script has been reprinted in many countries. The original script is very good, but everyone knows about Erduan's urine. In fact, the focus of each version is different. The Chinese version starred Luhan and Yang Zishan. It is also a very good film to throw out the prejudice against traffic stars like Luhan. Interested friends can go and have a look.
