Back to the Republic of China as a director

Zhou Siyin thought about it for a while, thinking that Ji Shuangyu's words were so ambiguous, did he want him to tell everything he did...

But this idea just turned around in his heart for a while, the two of them stared at each other for a while, and he compared gestures, indicating that we can talk about it later.

We didn't start chatting until the meeting was over and the audience had almost dispersed.

"I have been planning to set up a film department and make films for some time. So I have been investigating films these days when I came to Shanghai, and allocated money for people from the branch office to purchase equipment and set up shooting locations. Shanghai is the national film center, nine The successful production and imported industries are all here, so the film department should also be established here." After Zhou Siyin said, Chao Ji Shuangyu stretched out his hand, indicating that it was his turn.

Ji Shuangyu was so wronged: "You set up the film department in Shanghai, so what should I do? I can live in the capital."

Everyone: "..."

What does it mean?

The book pretended to remember that Ji Shuangyu had used montage on stage, and said, "Brother He Nian, you are not interested in film production, are you?"

Ji Shuangyu nodded: "Yes! At that time, our drama school will also set up a film major. Not only that, I think it would be very good to shoot your novel!"

He has been eyeing Zhou Siyin's injustice for a long time... The investor also naturally thought of the big ip of the book's nonsense, and made up his mind. Who knew that Zhou Siyin had been planning this matter for a long time, so he was not in a hurry.

The book blatantly said: "Oh??"

There is also a film major, so it seems that Ji Shuangyu really put his mind on it.

The book said with great interest, "Speaking of which, many of these filmmakers are also making new dramas. Brother He Nian has a wonderful aesthetic, so you can really learn it and adapt this old drama and new drama into Movies. If you change my novel, I welcome it!"

How much he likes Ji Shuangyu's aesthetics.

Zhou Siyin pondered: "I didn't know you were also interested in movies, and you even asked people from the branch office to hire directors who had returned from studying abroad... However, if you want to shoot and stay in the capital to produce, then there are also film departments in Shanghai. It is necessary to hire talents. Big deal, buy an extra set of equipment and bring them back to the capital."

Everyone else was stunned.

About Ji Shuangyu's job-seeking story, some people present had heard it, and wondered if they could listen to Ji Shuangyu's talk.

And what normal people want to do, they really have to prove their ability with investors first, at least explain their ideas!

Just now Ji Shuangyu expressed interest, and they are still looking forward to it. Ji Shuangyu will discuss what he wants to shoot—even, everyone still doesn't know how much Ji Shuangyu knows about film production.

After all, the production of this film is different from the arrangement of new dramas and old dramas. This is too technological, and I don’t know how to get started.I haven't seen those directors of new dramas learn how to make films, and they are not all successful, and no one can compare with imported Western films.

Zhou Siyin shouldn't be ignorant of this truth, since he also said that he wanted to hire directors studying abroad.

There was also the director of the newly established film department of the sub-bureau at the scene. Today, he was here to experience Shu Lianyan's meeting. There were inexplicably more directors in his department, and he was stunned.

Ji Shuangyu said he was interested, and it only took a few words in total.Without further ado, Zhou Siyin planned to buy a set of equipment and bring it back just for Ji Shuangyu!Have you two discussed this beforehand? ?

——Zhou Siyin couldn't guess with common sense, and he himself couldn't guess Ji Shuangyu with common sense.

Ji Shuangyu is not the Ji Shuangyu that everyone imagined. The Ji Henian that Zhou Siyin knows is not very human (the specific racial identity is yet to be verified), so based on previous experience, since he is interested, he must be sure.

Zhou Siyin even felt that Ji Shuangyu might be more reliable than the overseas talents hired by him!

Ji Shuangyu was also very pleasantly surprised, he probably wanted to know why Zhou Siyin trusted him...but!It's great to have such a knowledgeable investor.

"That's great, I still have to ask, what kind of equipment did you buy, let me tell you first, I want to shoot movies with sound!" Ji Shuangyu said.

The director of the film department stretched out his hand weakly and said, "It's hard to say which one is better artistically, the sound film or the silent film. Besides, there are still many small theaters in the Chinese market who are unwilling to install expensive sound projectors. Screening movies with sound. If it is filming with sound, there will be fewer screenings, and the filming has just started, why not start shooting with silent movies?"

At present, in the movie market, at least in China, silent black and white movies still occupy half of the country.

A question that may seem a little funny to future generations is that sound films and color films are historical revolutions in film art.When it first came out, it was all questioned.

Therefore, the film minister actually said that it was hard to say which of the two was better, and even suggested that he start with silent films. After all, sound films can only be shown in theaters equipped with sound projectors, but silent films can be shown anywhere.

From a market point of view, yes.

"Sound films and silent films still coexist for the time being, but there is no doubt that sound films will be the mainstream in the future, not only in the market, but also in the artistic level."

Ji Shuangyu said with her hands behind her back, "Some silent film masters in the West have also worried that sound films will degrade film art. It is true that some sound films now reflect 'I have a voice' almost all the time, full of dialogue and music.

"In the silent era, there is only visual language, and the picture is often interrupted by subtitles, which is not smooth. Sound films are flooded with sound for a while, but it actually has unlimited possibilities. Here, we have to mention the word appropriate again, and the arrangement is proper. , and even an aesthetically pleasing sound, can give movies a second language system and allow movies to evolve into audiovisual art.

"I think there should be filmmakers in the West who are already exploring the world of sound. We can't wait for the trend to catch up!"

Ji Shuangyu spoke eloquently, and even quoted Western filmmakers' remarks several times (although most of you have never heard of them) to increase the importance of sound films, thus emphasizing: I want the latest equipment!buy it for me! !

Some people listened to his speech for the first time, and their eyes were straightened. They only felt that Director Ji's words were sonorous and powerful, accompanied by the sound of gold and stone, and a little bit of rolling thunder.At the turning point, it is passionate and full of rhythm, which is really provocative.

After listening to him, even if there is something you don't understand, you have to believe that the future is the world of sound films...

Of course, it was Zhou Siyin who was in charge, and everyone quietly looked at Zhou Siyin.

Zhou Siyin looked at the book slowly and said, "...stop the music first."

"Oh?" Shu babblingly stopped the record player, and the symphony that was played just now disappeared. Cough, he was also instructed by Ji Shuangyu.

Ji Shuangyu had already finished speaking, and she didn't care that they turned off her BGM. She looked at Zhou Siyin, "How is it?"

Zhou Siyin smiled: "I think Director Ji has already practiced himself just now and showed us why 'sound' films are better than 'silent' films."

Everyone: "..."

... That's really easy to understand!Bringing your own BGM is different!

Indeed, everyone prefers accompaniment to a cappella when listening to operas.Art and other things are only discussed by dramatists and intellectuals. Ordinary people just like to listen to it.

But Ji Shuangyu's words can be regarded as leaving an impression of "It's amazing, Director Ji even knows movies so well".

The Minister of Film also automatically shut up. In fact, he wanted to say that there is no need to buy the latest lighting and other equipment, but the expensive audio player Zhou Siyin has to buy, so what else is there to talk about.There is also a book that says that the original author also supports Ji Shuangyu in this way.

Our general manager is really Mr. Ji's bole. He doesn't doubt his ability at all. He is very good and very good.

……

Ji Shuangyu didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and before he even figured out how to fool Zhou Siyin, he took the initiative to offer him the opportunity.After the meeting, he was in a good mood and invited Zhou Siyin and Shu Huayan to watch another movie, to watch more before leaving Shanghai.

After all, there are the most complete films in Shanghai, and this condition may not be necessary when I go back.

This time Ji Shuangyu bought a comedy, which is also very popular in China.Although it is said to be a film with sound, the use of the sound system could not be more brutal, and every second is filled with music.

And because it's not a big movie, it's still in the first round of screenings, and only some translations are projected on the side, but the translations are still not clear, and it's inevitable that people will miss some stalks.

This was all expected, Ji Shuangyu took a look at it casually.

Before the lights went dark, there was a clerk selling candies, Ji Shuangyu stopped them and bought some candies.

Zhou Siyin said boredly: "Why is there no orange flavor, the orange flavor is the best."

Ji Shuangyu turned her head slowly: "I brought it back for Lulu to eat."

Zhou Siyin: "..."

Ji Shuangyu laughed loudly: "Hahahahahaha, I'm just kidding, boss, you just charged so much money." The sound machine is so expensive, Ji Shuangyu picked up a milk-flavored one, peeled off the candy wrapper, and quickly stuffed it into Zhou Siyin's mouth.

The rich milk flavor melted in his mouth, and Zhou Siyin couldn't help but smile. The sweetness is so high that if the subordinates of the bookstore see it, it may be a nightmare.

The book sitting on the other side babbled and poked his head open, "Ang, I just like the smell of milk."

Zhou Siyin: "..."

... At this age, you still open your mouth to ask for sweets, it is really disgusting!

At this time, the lights had already been turned off, and Ji Shuangyu threw one directly into Shu Huayan's arms, and she didn't seem to think that Shu Huayan was a baby.

Discriminatory treatment, the book blatantly sighed, I am still not rich enough.

After watching it, the book who knew so much about the movie could not help but sigh: "Brother He Nian claims that he cannot lag behind the trend, but our current shooting techniques are still far behind Oxie. As for the story, there are some excellent ones." playwright."

After all, this comedy was filmed by Westerners. They are more technically capable, and the use of the camera in it is not comparable to the large number of non-student directors in China at this time.

Ji Shuangyu nodded indifferently: "Oh."

"Brother He Nian! But I have great confidence in you." Shu Wangyan looked at Ji Shuangyu expectantly: "By the way, China's film production technology has made great progress recently. It is said that some films have used close-up shots. Close-up Do you know what a lens is?"

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Ji Shuangyu: "I know."

"I think you know it too." After all, even the montage theory is known, the book said in a high-tech tone, "do you know how to use it?"

Ji Shuangyu looked at him and said slowly, "Close-up shots can convey a strong impression. If Zhou Siyin scolds you for being a procrastinator at this time, we can point at your face and take a close-up shot to reflect your inner panic and fear." Shame on the details."

Zhou Siyin was eager to try.

The book blatantly said: ".........don't scold me, don't scold me."

He believed it, he believed that Ji Henian really understood the use of film techniques! !

……

Kunlun Bookstore under the leadership of Zhou Siyin is very active. He said that the film department will be set up. The people in the branch have built the glass shed and bought some equipment. The film department employees are either new recruits or transferred from other departments. Work, all in place.

In short, the rough prototype was already in place, and Zhou Siyin was able to reveal the news at the meeting.

Zhou Siyin promised Ji Shuangyu that he would get a set of equipment and bring it back to the capital for filming, so he and Shu Yaoyan were taken to the sub-bureau.

The person in charge of the branch is Chen Muxian, who has been an old employee of Kunlun Bookstore for decades, and hurried to the scene to receive them.

He also recognized Ji Shuangyu's face, which has become very famous in Shanghai recently, and many people knew of Ji Shuangyu's friendship with Zhou Siyin and Shu Huayan.But Chen Muxian was not at the meeting, so he only thought that Zhou Siyin brought someone to visit.

After saying hello, Chen Muxian said that he would report to Zhou Siyin about the follow-up of the meeting.

Zhou Siyin left Ji Shuangyu to hang out by himself, and the book co-author lied that he had gone to discuss business first.

Chen Muxian finished reporting to Zhou Siyin in the office, and suggested with a smile: "General manager, the old and new dramas directed by Mr. Ji are all hot in the market. We can shoot movies, and in terms of scripts, we can learn more from him, a big drama." home to teach."

At present, not only many filmmakers have switched careers from new dramas, or have a foundation for new dramas, but they even use the same techniques as new dramas to make movies.

Zhou Siyin smiled slightly, and said confidently: "He is already a member of our film department, as a director."

Shu Huayan also hurriedly said: "That's right, when the time comes when my novel is adapted into a movie, I'll let him direct it!"

Chen Muxian didn't know Ji Shuangyu that well, so he couldn't help but be surprised. He recruited him as a film director, and handed over all the works of the book to him, and prevented directors with overseas experience from coming?

Chen Muxian couldn't help saying: "So...Director Ji is really versatile!"

Zhou Siyin said: "That's right, Ji Henian's understanding of film production is better than everyone in the film department. I will allocate another fee to you to purchase the latest shooting equipment. If you can't buy sound machines for a while, you can buy them directly from other production companies." Acquisition."

Chen Muxian has a lot of trust in Zhou Siyin: "If you can get such an evaluation from the general manager, then I will be looking forward to Director Ji's masterpiece in the film industry!"

After Zhou Siyin and the others left, Ji Shuangyu visited the newly established film department of Kunlun Book Company by himself.

As for this equipment, it is indeed better to buy it.

Ji Shuangyu also saw a hand-cranked wooden camera that he had only seen in museums and textbooks before, and he looked up and down strangely.

The price of this thing is not low now. The staff watched from the side and introduced it to Ji Shuangyu: "Mr. Ji, this is the camera used for filming."

Ji Shuangyu nodded, "Yeah."

He sure looks like he's seeing the camera for the first time.

After all, except for the camera, Ji Shuangyu saw some equipment for the first time. In his era, he had already updated it countless times, and even eliminated it.

Therefore, Ji Shuangyu also pointed to something sincerely and asked: "Then what is this?"

The staff is a movie fan, and they enthusiastically explained to Director Ji and the friend of the general manager one by one:

"Haha, this is a sucker!"

"Mobile stabilizer, a must-have when shooting!"

"We still have plenty of charcoal lamps."

Ji Shuangyu: "Yeah, and what is that, I haven't seen it before."

Staff member: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha It’s actually the fire hydrant that has been changed to take pictures of the rainy scene!”

Ji Shuangyu also laughed loudly: "I said it looked familiar, but I didn't dare to recognize it, what did I think it was! Hahahahaha!"

The two looked at each other, and burst into laughter again, filling the air with joy.

Smiling and laughing, Ji Shuangyu casually turned her head and took a look.

Standing behind them was Zhou Siyin and the other three, who were so shocked that they were speechless. They had been listening for an unknown how long.

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

The three on the opposite side: "..."

... Is this the legendary big fudge?You talked and laughed with us, but you never saw anything? ?

The author has something to say:

The book blatantly said: Don't touch my IP! !

It’s a shame not to read the comment area after reading the article
