Entertainment: My predecessor is a diva and my current boss is a boss

Feng Wenhai sat on the stage, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

This time, the decision to invite Li Changan to give a lecture was really correct.

The students who tried their best to skip class actually came to attend the class on their own initiative, which was unthinkable before.

Feng Wenhai rolled his eyes, thinking of hiring Li Changan as an honorary professor.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lao Feng grabbed the microphone on the table, cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone be quiet, listen to me. I am Feng Wenhai, the vice president of the Academy of Film. Today we are honored to invite the famous director Li Changan to give you a lecture. Please cherish this opportunity."

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

Li Changan said in a low voice with a bitter face:

"Principal Feng, I'm not prepared at all. What do you want me to say?"

Feng Wenhai pondered for a while, and said:
"How about letting the students ask questions that interest them, and you answer them?"

Li Changan nodded helplessly, Lao Feng was purely trying to catch the ducks on the shelves.

"Hi everyone, I'm Li Changan..."

Under the stage, Qingyao took the lead in applauding, and the thunderous applause interrupted Li Changan's next words.

"...Principal Feng pulled me over this time to give you a lecture. To be honest, I'm not prepared at all, and I don't know where to start. How about this? If you have any questions about movies, you can now Bring it up, and I’ll discuss it with you on the spot!”

Compared with boring lectures, the interactive form proposed by Li Changan is easier for students to accept.

"Okay, I have some questions, I want to ask Director Li!"

"Don't argue with me, I want to be the first to speak!"

"Why you are the first, I am the first."

Looking at the enthusiastic film school students in the audience, Li Chang'an's back felt a little chilled.

My directing value and acting skills are rewarded by the system. I don't know if it will be revealed in front of these major students.

"Don't rush, everyone has a chance, that male student with glasses, you should be the first to speak!"

Some volunteers from the student council handed over the microphone to the students designated by Li Changan.

Huge surprise filled the thin male student's face:
"Am I the first to ask?"

He took the microphone excitedly and said loudly:

"Director Li, I want to ask..."

The surrounding students laughed in unison:

"The microphone is held upside down."

No wonder I didn't hear the sound.

The boy smiled awkwardly, pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, turned the microphone around and said:
"Hello, Director Li, my name is Xu Ziqian, and I'm a sophomore student in the Directing Department of China Overseas Film Academy..."

Fang Qingyao was impatient and couldn't help urging loudly:
"Quickly ask questions, this is not a dating show, why introduce yourself in such detail!"

The surrounding students let out good-natured laughter.

Xu Ziqian was not influenced by Fang Qingyao at all, and still said unhurriedly:

"...Director Li, what I want to ask is, how do you make movies and TV series that are loved by everyone?"

Li Changan pondered for a while, and said:
"Student Xu's question should be the question of all directors. How can we make a film and television series that is loved by everyone?..."

There was no sound in the audience, and the students were all attentively listening to Li Changan's talk.

"... I think that if you want to make a good movie, the first thing you have to do is not to regard yourself as a director, but as an audience.

You have to start from the audience's point of view and think about how to shoot this group of shots in order to capture the hearts of the audience. "

Xu Ziqian stood where he was, and seemed to realize something in his heart:
"From the perspective of the audience, imagine yourself as the audience?"

Li Changan’s speech on the stage continued:

"...We are filming directors, in the final analysis, to tell the story to the audience, so from the first time you read the script, you must have a clear position in your heart,

That is, the film must be shot according to the taste of the audience, not according to your personal preferences as a director. "

Li Chang'an gradually entered the state, standing on the stage and talking about his experiences eloquently.

Xu Ziqian seemed to understand but said:
"Director Li, what if I insist on making a movie according to my own ideas?"

Li Changan shrugged his shoulders:

"Then your work may not be accepted by the market. Of course, if you are a genius in the director's world, then I didn't say anything."

Xu Ziqian felt enlightened.

Li Changan's answer was different from the lectures given by the professors in the academy in the past.

His words are more straightforward and easier to understand.

Xu Ziqian didn't want to finish the question, and wanted to ask more questions, but the people around him were already clamoring.

"Why, why, this is not a special show for your director department, and you can't stop asking!"

"Yes, you have to give others a chance to ask questions, right?"

Li Changan pointed to a girl:
"What's your question, female classmate?"

The girl looked very ordinary. Hearing Li Changan's words, she excitedly snatched the microphone from Xu Ziqian's hand:

"Li Chang'an, I'm Sun Hong from the Soundtrack Department of the Film Academy. I want to ask, why did you switch from a singer to a director?"

Li Changan hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Maybe because I feel that being a singer is no longer a challenge for me."

This sentence should have been the words of Super Versailles, but it won the approval of everyone in the auditorium.

Sun Hong sat down satisfied.

Li Changan ordered a few more students and answered their questions one by one.

"I came here in a hurry today. I didn't have any preparations. I can only tell you so much. There is still a little time. Does anyone have any questions?"

A row of arms under the stage, like sorghum poles in the farmland, were raised densely.

Fang Qingyao's raised arm was submerged in the crowd, appearing inconspicuous.

She jumped up and down anxiously, and shouted:
"I, I, I, male god, I have a problem!"

The commotion she made was finally noticed by Li Changan:
"Then... that female student who practiced high jump!"

Fang Qingyao was overjoyed, took the microphone and said loudly:
"Male god, my name is Fang Qingyao, a sophomore in the acting department, and Qin Xiaomi's junior sister!"

Li Changan nodded with a smile, he had a good impression of this short-haired girl:

"Student Fang Qingyao, what's your question?"

"I want to ask, how did you come to make the movie [My Sassy Girl]?"

Li Chang'an: "The original intention of filming [My Sassy Girlfriend] was that I felt that everyone might be tired of the gentle and watery heroine. I wanted to try a more down-to-earth heroine who is close to reality. That's why Song Mingxi was born!"

Fang Qingyao tilted her head and thought for a while:

"Then do you like girls like Song Mingxi?"

Li Changan's answer was impeccable:

"I think no matter what kind of character a girl is, she has her cuteness. The key is whether you have the vision to discover it."
