Director who specializes in American comics

Welcome! After Wang Xuanyuan finished speaking this big set of theories, Yuan and Cheng Kang were stunned. After all, he majored in directing, while Yuan was just a freshman majoring in acting. student, Cheng Kang has only played a few roles, and their film and television theories are definitely not as rich as Wang Xuanyuan's.

Steven Yuan and Cheng Kang looked at each other, and Cheng Kang said: "Okay then, the general direction of this subject is okay, I'll let you decide, but the pseudo-documentary style shooting method you mentioned can really OK?"

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with this. There is a popular declaration in the Nordic film and television industry called Dogma 95. Have you heard of it?"

The two people opposite shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.

Wang Xuanyuan took a sip of coffee and said: "The Dogma 95 Manifesto, to put it simply, means live shooting, live sound collection, and portable shooting. This was initiated by the Danish film master Lars von Trier. He is a master. We’ve all done it, so it’s not too much for us to do the same thing.”

Cheng Kang and Steven Yuan showed understanding expressions and said, "That's okay, I thought no one had ever filmed it like that."

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Those masters have made films, but they are all masters of literary films. Those films produced by the Dogma 95 Manifesto rarely make it to the cinema, so ordinary people don't understand them at all. But Yuan You She's from the film school, you should know something."

Steven Yuan scratched his head and said, "I was just a freshman and took some theoretical acting courses. I didn't like taking those film theory classes, so I didn't pay much attention to them."

Wang Xuanyuan could only say: "Okay, I can only say okay."

Cheng Kang said: "We have already determined the shooting method of the pseudo-documentary, so where should we find the camera and how long of film is needed? This needs to be planned in advance."

Wang Xuanyuan waved his hand and said: "No, we don't need a film camera. It's too expensive and inconvenient to carry. We have to go to the scene to shoot, not in a studio."

Cheng Kang asked puzzledly: "If you don't use a film camera, what should you use to shoot it?"

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Use a digital camera, the kind commonly known as DV."

After a pause, Wang Xuanyuan continued: "In 95, Panasonic and Sony successively launched their own DV series. These are very common in the market, but no one has dared to openly use DV to shoot movies, let alone Most of them are for family needs, such as shooting commemorative family videos such as family gatherings and trips.”

Steven Yeun said: "So, how much does a DVD cost?"

Wang Xuanyuan said: "No, we don't need to buy it. We can just rent it. Renting is more cost-effective than buying. You won't use it a few times a year after buying it. It would be a waste to leave it alone."

Steven Yuan asked worriedly: "Man, are you sure this will work?"

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Don't worry, I predict that using DV to shoot movies will definitely form a trend in the future. At present, DV is a new thing, and it is normal for everyone not to know about it, but when everyone realizes its advantages In the future, it will definitely become popular.”

Cheng Kang said: "Yes, I have also seen the DVD clips that my friend shot at home. The picture quality is pretty good, so it should be feasible. Besides, there must be someone who is the first to use everything, so that things can develop. I I agree with Xuanyuan’s idea.”

The three of them had a brief chat for a while, determined other content of the film, and made an appointment to discuss the specific content of the script at the next party.

None of the three people had finished the three cups of coffee on the table, and there were still a lot of candies left on the side. Wang Xuanyuan waved in the direction of the service desk: "Waiter, here comes the check."

The bronzed beauty came over with a smile. Wang Xuanyuan and the other three made their own knots using the aa system.

The aa system is very popular in the United States. Most friends usually use this system when eating. You pay for your own share, unless it is agreed in advance that someone will pay for the treat.

After the three people paid their money and tips, the beautiful waiter said to the three of them: "I'm sorry, you three, but can I ask, are you all students at the film school?" After speaking, he showed a sweet smile.

Steven Yuan looked at Wang Xuanyuan, who nodded and said, "Yes, we are both from the University of Southern California, and he is an actor."

The waiter said, "Oh, that's great. My dream since I was a kid was to go to film school. Unfortunately, I didn't study well enough and didn't get into college. Then I went to a film and television training school, which was not long ago."

Wang Xuanyuan smiled and said: "Then we are kindred spirits, and we are all from the film and television industry. We are happy to meet you." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with the waitress.

The other two people shook hands with her in turn.

The waiter continued: "I overheard just now that you were going to make a movie? Really? Of course, I overheard it. I just overheard a few words from the person who was ordering and delivering food to the guests. You won't be angry, right?"

In the United States, personal privacy is protected, private property is sacred and inviolable, and even fib and cia cannot eavesdrop on the private information of American citizens.

Wang Xuanyuan shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's not a big deal. We are discussing making an experimental film. We were discussing the subject matter and shooting method just now. This is our first meeting."

The waitress said: "That's great. I would like to ask, can I participate? Of course, if you are an internal school event, then I will not participate." She said with an expectant expression.

The three of them, Wang Xuanyuan, looked at each other. They did not expect to encounter such a thing in this coffee house. They did not expect that this place was also a place where dragons and tigers were hidden.

Wang Xuanyuan saw the other two people nodded slightly, and he said to the waitress: "Hey, ours is not a shooting event organized by the school, but a private plan without any external funds or project funds. , so accordingly everyone participates voluntarily, with no pay or very little pay.”

In fact, this is a conclusion reached after the exchange just now: this shooting activity is entirely voluntary and does not require any remuneration. The funds required for the project will first be raised by the project sponsor, that is, Wang Xuanyuan. If he raises the funds, If it's not enough, everyone will work together to find a solution.

After hearing this, the waitress smiled and said: "Oh, of course. It would be my honor if I could participate in your activities. As long as you don't dislike me for not being a professional student."

Wang Xuanyuan said: "How could it be? Everyone has their own specialties. We just listened to a few more classes from the old professors in the school, nothing more." Then he looked at the other two people and faced the woman. The waiter stretched out his hands and said: "Welcome to join us, and I mean sincerely welcome you."

The waitress smiled and gave everyone a polite hug.

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Let me introduce us first. My name is Wang Xuanyuan, his name is Cheng Kang, and his name is Steven Yuan."

The waitress said, "My name is Jessica Alba." See more! Prestige official account: hhxs665
