On the rostrum, Jiang Youxi played and sang, and the teachers were in a hurry. The principal took the microphone angrily and said, "Student, hurry up and stop making trouble."
The protagonist played by Jiang Youxi grabbed the microphone and said: "I am not making trouble, I am creating a beautiful high school memory. In this way, you can tell people around you that you used to be high school classmates with the godfather of music in Dahuaguo, and music The godfather played and sang a special song for you at the opening ceremony. Isn't this a very interesting memory?"
Of course, he was soon turned off the rostrum by the teachers.
After only watching for 1 minute, Yang Liqi was already attracted.
How should I put it, the beginning of this movie doesn't have any gimmicks, it just explains it plainly.
But through the use of the lens and a few key dialogues, the image of the protagonist has been portrayed very clearly within 1 minute.
And it's exciting.
On the first day of the opening ceremony, this young man who uttered wild promises to be the "future music godfather", this young man who determined to make a living from music, this fool in the eyes of others, how would he slap those who looked down on him so hard?
Yang Liqi felt that no one would doubt whether he could do it.
Because the song he hummed was not complete, but the melody was very good.
From this point of view, ordinary viewers would also feel that although this young man is a bit crazy, a bit out-of-the-world, and a bit off-line.
But he is really powerful, it's just that others don't understand it.
The audience from God's perspective naturally chose to stand on the boy's side, ready to give the whole world the middle finger.
Or in other words: the sense of substitution is already there.
……
"I already have a sense of substitution." The famous film critic "Li Sanming" touched his chin, which had already grown dense stubble, and said to himself.
As a famous film critic, of course he doesn't watch every film.
But after receiving the money, you have to do things.Of course, everyone in the industry knows that he never makes bad money.
If he hates a movie, he won't write a movie review and praise it for 10.
Unless it is given 100 million.
And he has also read Hemingway's "In the Depth of a Hundred Flowers".
Everyone in the circle has a consensus, this short film is old bull beeping.
It only took 10 minutes to tell a very short story, but it can deeply move the audience.
Although a large part of the factor is that the script is good and the concept is high.
But it can also be seen that the director's technique is very solid.
There are really not many directors with such skills.
Also, this short film is more than just a good script.
Professional film critics like them can naturally see a lot of things from it.
Well, although limited by subject matter, length, and funds, "Deepness of Hundred Flowers" doesn't have too many showy things.
But in the plain, it can be seen that the director's "internal strength" is good, and the foundation is well laid.
So it can be said that it is difficult to judge Hemingway's upper limit as a director based on "In the Depth of a Hundred Flowers".
But what is certain is that Hemingway's lower limit is not low.
Therefore, in the circle, many film critics are very interested in "Those Years".
What they are interested in is not what story "Those Years" will tell, but they want to use the longer and more invested "Those Years" to judge how much Hemingway's director skills can score and where the upper limit is.
Moreover, "Deepness of Hundred Flowers" is not commercially oriented after all.
"Those Years" is a commercial film.
It is pay-per-view.
The narrative routines and styles of commercial films are very different from those of literary films.
If Li Sanming were to put it simply, literary and artistic films should take the audience to experience, feel, comprehend, and think.
And what about commercial films?It uses sensory stimulation to make the audience either laugh, nervous, or cool, cool, and cool to the end.
Judging from the first minute or so, Li Sanming felt that the beginning of the movie was a success.
The sense of substitution is an important factor for the audience to sit obediently and watch a movie.
With a sense of substitution, you can share the pain and joy of the protagonist, feel nervous for the protagonist, and immerse yourself in the plot.
In the first minute or so of "Those Years", the character creation was very successful. Just a few shots and a few lines of dialogue made the protagonist's personality clear-although it is not three-dimensional, but it is already recognizable and sufficient. attractive.
Because the image shown by the protagonist is very representative.
It doesn't mean that the main character likes to play music.
Rather, such as "I think my image in the eyes of others is like this", "But in fact, my image in the eyes of others is like this."
As an adult, when I hear such words, I will definitely think of my youthful mood and smile knowingly.
And young people will feel sorry for each other.
Because this is what almost every teenager will experience, the conflict between self-perception and other people's self-perception.
Also, the main character loves music and has dreams that seem crazy.
Although, the form of expression is a bit exaggerated.
But movies are an exaggeration of art.
To be honest, people are not arrogant to waste young people.
Who didn't have unrealistic dreams when they were young?
Who was not ridiculed or misunderstood when he was young.
Hemingway found these most common things, so that the audience can quickly feel a sense of substitution.
At the same time, some of the words used in the dialogue are also quite interesting, not rigid and full of life.
The camera turns back to the present, and the protagonist played by Jiang Youxi is among dozens or hundreds of students.
Then the screen freezes.
In this picture, someone is riding a bicycle, someone is sitting on the back seat of his father's motorcycle, some students are walking, and some boys and girls are secretly holding hands.
All beings.
Subtitles appeared above Jiang Youxi's head: Lin He, who thought he was the protagonist.
The subtitles are obviously handwritten, like the handwriting of an ordinary high school student, not very good, but very unrestrained.
It gives the impression that this is the character written by the protagonist himself.
Li Sanming couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth again.
Then the picture continues to flow.
In the following, Hemingway continued to use concise and clear techniques, and with just a few shots and voiceovers, he vividly introduced the four friends of the hero.
Male supporting role 1, a fat house who likes comics, has poor grades, is often humiliated, and his family does not support him in drawing comics, but he never gave up his dream.
Male supporting role 2, an expert in video games, likes to talk big, has average grades, is good at observing words and demeanor, and is good at being a human being.
The male supporting role is 3, the grades are always among the best, a bit nerdy, teachers and parents like it very much.But in private, he also secretly skipped classes and smoked.
The male supporting role is 4. He knows a lot of bad students, and even knows bad gangs outside the school. He has a bad temper and is rude, but he is loyal.
"We actually have nothing in common. We just became friends. Well, it's not like we have nothing in common. At least, we both like the same girl."
At this time, the screen returns to the previous scene where the two girls were chatting, and freezes.
Then the camera zoomed in, letting that fresh and refined girl who looked like a little fairy occupy almost the entire frame.
Li Sanming secretly praised: This shot is so beautiful!And the heroine's appearance can also stand the test.
Looking at it so magnified, there is no flaw at all. It is as beautiful as a fairy who fell from the sky.
Then a subtitle appeared next to it, still in the handwritten font: Wen Xinran.
Then these three words were taken away by an invisible hand (special effects), and replaced with other handwritten words: The girl we chased together.
A directional arrow is also drawn.
Immediately afterwards, the words "those years" fell from above, before "us".
So the full title of the film appears here: The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years.
Li Sanming nodded: This method is quite novel.
Then there are some pictures of school life as a transition, and at the same time, the list of producers and creative personnel appears on the screen.
After the first few minutes of laying the groundwork, the rhythm slowed down a little at this time, making the audience realize that the next step is to get to the point.
Li Sanming feels that until now, this movie can firmly attract him.
And continue watching with anticipation.
As for my own taste, I am actually quite picky. After all, as a film critic, I have watched too many movies, and my appreciation ability is higher than that of ordinary audiences.
Even I was attracted, and it is conceivable that ordinary audiences should also be attracted.
Now, Li Sanming just wants to put aside his status as a "film critic" and enjoy the movie first.
Wait for the second brush, and then observe the details and write a movie review.
The next plot, progressed very quickly.
After all, it is only a 53-minute micro-movie, and it is impossible to narrate it slowly like Wong Kar-wai.
When Du Caige was shooting and editing, he didn't think about the correct nonsense such as "every shot must have charm and meaning".
What he considers is "using the shortest shot to tell the story as completely as possible."
that's it.
After spending less than 3 minutes in the opening to give a brief introduction to the important people, the protagonist Lin He finally arrived at the school on a bicycle.
On this day, the head teacher adjusted the seats of the whole class.
Because they are all high school students and are in the development period, some students have grown more than ten centimeters in one semester.
In addition, the head teacher also noticed that there seemed to be signs of puppy love among some students, and they naturally had to break up such things.
Yes, in Yonghui Middle School where Lin He is located, all boys and girls sit at the same table.
The process of changing seats is that the whole class of students line up outside the classroom and stand according to height, and then each time a group of girls enters, and then a group of boys enters.
This ensures that men and women are at the same table.
Of course, due to the difference in the number of men and women, there are slightly more boys, so there are a few unlucky boys who are at the same table as them.
Coincidentally.
When the seats were reassigned this time, the expressionless but dark-hearted protagonist Lin He and the girl he had a crush on, Xiaohua Wenxin, became the same table as a matter of course.
A youth story has officially begun.
Li Sanming committed an occupational disease again, and said softly: "The conflict has emerged."
million word testimonials
Before I knew it, a million words had been written in this book.
I still remember that when I distributed this book, it was April 4th, the day our unit had just lifted the lockdown.
I was locked up for more than 70 days and did not go home for more than 70 days.
I went home, hugged my daughter, ate something, and started to distribute books.
This book was actually written at the beginning of the year, but the internal investment has never been done.
After it came out on April 4th, I thought to myself, who cares, just post it, if you can’t sign a contract, you have to finish writing this book.
In fact, I am also very clear about the reason why the inside cast fails.
It's just that the beginning is not concise and clear enough.
I have been writing for many years, how could I not know how to write an opening that can pass the signature.
If you have thought about the manuscript carefully, you can submit it in the beginning of any writing.
