Back to the Republic of China as a director

Ever since Ji Feifei went to school and the electricity was connected at home, more importantly, Ji Shuangyu always felt that under her feeding, Ji Feifei seemed to be a little whiter, and it was true that she rarely had the chance to be scared by her...

Now it seems that Ji Shuangyu is confident, the whitening has not been successful, comrades still need to work hard! !

Liu Liang was attracted by the tragic cry, and was surprised to see Ji Feifei—not only him, but the students sitting in the two rows in front also whispered to each other, when did the principal's sister come over?

Liu Liang couldn't figure it out, he had been helping the master with the baby all the time: "My aunt, why are you here? When did you come here?"

Ji Feifei said aggrievedly: "Since I was at the door, I have been following my brother, and I have never followed you." She even squatted by the sofa and played with grass, not quite understanding why they didn't notice her.

Everyone: "..."

Miscalculated, miscalculated...

"You take her away, I'll take it easy." Ji Shuangyu leaned back, curled up on the sofa and had nothing to love.

This living person is much more terrifying than the content of superstition.

Zhou Siyin also slowly unscrewed the cup, and said with great experience: "...I knew I should bring calming soup. Drink some."

Ji Shuangyu: "..."

Damn, just drink some wine to calm down the shock.

Ji Shuangyu took a sip of the self-brewed rose dew brought by Zhou Siyin. "Qing Barnyard Banknotes" said, "Shochu wine is steamed from flowers, and its name is very complicated, just like rose dew."

The roses added to the rose dew in Beijing are preferably from the Rose Valley of Miaogan Mountain.There is also a famous liquor in the capital, called Lotus White, which is also very famous. The lotus flowers used in it are said to be the best collected from the Summer Palace.

Ji Shuangyu has also heard of this for a long time. Although he doesn't drink much, he tried it for the first time. This kind of dew wine has the aroma of flowers and plants. Because it is based on sorghum wine and rock sugar is added, the taste is softer and sweeter.

"It's delicious, and it doesn't burn your throat too much." Ji Shuangyu smashed the taste, and licked off a little bit of rose-colored wine on her lips.

"This is the recipe left by my mother. She likes to have a few drinks." Zhou Siyin took the cup and took a sip, "She picked all the ingredients in Miaogan Mountain...well, I'm going to pick them now .”

Ji Shuangyu said with emotion: "I heard that my aunt is amazingly beautiful. I really regret that I didn't come to the world a few years earlier to see my aunt's demeanor."

He was talking about time travel a few years earlier, but he didn't care what it meant to Zhou Siyin.

Ji Shuangyu thought, no wonder Zhou Siyin would dream of his mother when he received the talisman from Miaogan Mountain before, and he became more convinced that the talisman was effective.It turned out that there was such a source.

From the perspective of modern people, this should be caused by the subconscious mind.But Ji Shuangyu didn't say anything, instead she understood Zhou Siyin better.

Even with such an antecedent, Zhou Siyin has never done anything unethical because of his beliefs, and even devotes himself to publishing scientific books to eliminate superstitious science... No matter what the reason is, he just wants to find a sustenance in his heart, or A firm stand deserves Ji Shuangyu to treat him differently.

Zhou Siyin also laughed and said: "If my mother knew that there was a person like you, she would definitely want to know you. You have very similar attitudes in making money, and you are both ingenious."

Unknowingly, Ji Shuangyu leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes and said cheerfully, "Although it's a pity that I didn't see my aunt, I can still be happy, at least I got to know you. It's great, I got to know you in this world... "

Although Zhou Siyin was a little unclear, Ji Shuangyu's words still made his heart feel like rock sugar melted in the wine, from his shoulders to his whole body.

There is still some affection in it. Listening to this, Ji Shuangyu didn't have any friends before, what the hell is that... Ah, maybe it really is Huang Quan?No wonder, what a hell!

He turned his head to look over, only to find that Ji Shuangyu had closed his eyes—the filming for several days was too hard, and after drinking a few sips of wine, Ji Shuangyu fell asleep on top of him unknowingly.

This time, Zhou Siyin was not disappointed because of the good atmosphere. He pulled the coat he had taken off and covered Ji Shuangyu, and leaned on Ji Shuangyu's head to watch the wonderful silent black-and-white movie earnestly.

The shooting of "The Strange Story of Things in the Ancient Capital" is different from most films, because most of the production companies are concentrated in Shanghai, and most of the filming locations are naturally in Shanghai. Few of them go to other places to shoot scenes, which are basically landscape films. , or occasionally, such as filming "White Snake", it is also a gimmick to go to the West Lake to shoot scenes.

Many of the film's exterior scenes were filmed in the capital, and audiences in Shanghai were eagerly awaiting it, and one can imagine how interested the local people were.Fortunately, because Ji Shuangyu has a high degree of favor among the masses, everyone is willing to listen to his appeal.They also have a lot of students, so they can maintain order, and the shooting will not be disturbed too much.

Those who are more thoughtful about the filming location may have already put the movie and Ji Shuangyu's signs on it, such as claiming that the movie was shot here, or that the director and actors came here to eat and so on.Ji Shuangyu has become a major gourmet story material.

Newspaper reporters would come to the production crew every now and then to inquire about today's progress, and they would squat on location, taking pictures and making wild associations.Several newspapers have specially set up reporters to follow up and report. Even the newspapers in Shanghai have contacted special reporters in the capital to send news back.

In this way, finally under the supervision of the general public, the filming was completed and the post-production work began.

That is, manual editing!

The earliest movies were edited by the director himself, and there was no technique to speak of, so he edited them roughly.Now a dedicated editor has just appeared, and this is called a receiver, but one can imagine how skilled it is.

When Ji Shuangyu edited, she asked the students to watch and study.

The students have seen Ji Shuangyu's advertisement, and they all attach great importance to this practical course - although it is Ji Shuangyu's practical exercise, they watch it.Ji Shuangyu couldn't let them use this to practice their hands. If the A copy was broken, the subsequent copies would also be affected.

Ji Shuangyu has to watch the films repeatedly, pick out the needed clips from a pile of films, cut them out with scissors, and then stick them together with glue...some of them are also hot together.If there are special effects shots, they must be marked.

This job requires a lot of patience and a keen eye for editing. Ji Shuangyu hopes to teach more excellent editors.

In fact, when Ji Shuangyu came, there were very few film edits. Thanks to Ji Shuangyu's experience on the set since he was a child, he also encountered some times when he needed to use film.

Because this film was filmed with sound, and the latest sound-picture synchronous editor was used, a crowd of people were crowded in the editing room to watch it, and many students had never operated it.

Just watching, they are already excited.

Several directing students have working experience, just like teachers Wang and Sheng.When the sound film first came out, everyone didn't know how to use the machine and followed foreign technicians, but they didn't teach them well at all, so they stood far away and couldn't see clearly how to operate it.

Now Principal Ji not only asks them to surround him, but also speaks carefully and asks questions from time to time to confirm the theoretical content in class.

Even though the editing time was long and the standing was tiring, everyone just felt happy and learned a lot!

They wanted to write down every movement of Ji Shuangyu, Ji Shuangyu scratched his head, and others followed suit.

Ji Shuangyu: "...There is no need for it!"

The student laughed: "I wonder if Mr. Ji's behavior can inspire inspiration."

This kind of manual editing is really slow, and after a rough cut, Ji Shuangyu watched the film with everyone, discussed it, and then made a fine cut, over and over again.

Editing is already troublesome, and Ji Shuangyu has high requirements for editing. If he finished half of the story on the set, then the remaining half needs to be completed on the editing table.The same material, cut by different people, can completely cut out completely opposite stories.

At this speed, the audience who were looking forward to it almost panicked.

The filming was finally completed, and the editing was still slow, but it didn't make people panic to death.

……

There is tension and relaxation in everything, although the outside audience is very anxious, Ji Shuangyu's pace is still unhurried.

In the process of studying with him, many students have new creative inspiration.

Everyone knows that the school has a creation fund. The students majoring in opera used to use the creation fund to buy outfits and perform "Why the West Chamber".The director department is also secretly competing to see who can come out on top and be the first to win the reward.

Ji Shuangyu really saw good ideas in the ideas submitted by the school. There was a student named Xu Yunru who used to be a director in a small production company in Shanghai. He submitted a proposal for a martial arts film.

Ji Shuangyu called the roll call during class: "There is a classmate in our class who wrote a book about a martial arts film, and even made a shooting idea..."

Before he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the classroom.

"Martial arts movies... how to write this stuff."

"This thing is poisoning society! How can there be people with such thoughts in our school?"

"And hand it over to pollute Principal Ji's eyes..."

Martial arts movies are really a flooded category now, but the reviews are not very good.Guyin's martial arts films nowadays are full of boring fist fights, which look like acrobatics, or they are lingering love between children in the world.

There are quite a lot of viewers, but in the industry, more ambitious directors are disdainful, and many scholars criticize this atmosphere.

The students in the first batch were very angry. Everyone looked left and right, trying to find out which of them was a traitor.

Xu Yunru buried her head and didn't dare to speak, sighed in her heart, she was really impulsive, she handed in the idea, and now she still has to be criticized by the teacher in class.

"I think this idea is very good. Allocate a creative fund of 3000 yuan to this student. You will set up a crew on campus and film it. If it can be released later, credits will be added depending on the box office performance and word of mouth. [-]% of the account will be donated back. To the fund, if you can’t, then make persistent efforts.” Ji Shuangyu asked, “Student Xu Yunru, if you agree, come to my office after class.”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Yunru for a moment, and they were extremely shocked.

Xu Yunru herself was also stupid.

What, what, not to criticize him, but to fund his filming? !

"Principal Ji, why is this?" Wang Hesheng couldn't help it. "Should we support the production of such a film that is not beneficial to the health of society?"

"Whether it is beneficial or not depends on Xu Yunru. I didn't see anything poisonous in his conception." Ji Shuangyu asked, "Martial arts movies are popular in China, and even very popular in Nanyang. This is because most Chinese people I have a martial arts dream in my heart, even everyone here, didn’t they ever fantasize about walking in the rivers and lakes when they were children?"

Wang and Sheng were stuck, this, this is...

"We won't allow the production of shoddy films, no matter what style they are in. But Xu Yunru intends to show China's unique martial arts culture in a new way. I think there is something very impressive about it. Why not?"

After Ji Shuangyu finished speaking, the students were also speechless.But after being speechless, they thought in their hearts, this is all right, so I have to hurry up and think about it!

Xu Yunru's face turned red, but her eyes were still a little moist.

Ji Shuangyu smiled encouragingly at him.

Early martial arts movies may feel a bit earthy to modern people, especially the martial arts style.

He saw Xu Yunru's idea, and after Ji Shuangyu's technical baptism, he had different ideas about the style and rhythm of the whole film, which was closer to the martial arts we saw later, so Ji Shuangyu approved it without hesitation.

Ji Shuangyu originally asked Xu Yunru to organize a team at the school, but Xu Yunru turned around in everyone's jealous and longing eyes, and said, "Principal, after looking around, I think you are the only one who can be my photographer... ..."

Ji Shuangyu thought for a while: "It's okay."

Anyway, when Xu Yunru starts filming, his editing should be almost finished, so it's good for a change of mood.

"!!" The other students saw that Xu Yunru had not only applied for the creation fund, but also the principal! !Eyes are red with envy.Damn, I also want the principal to do photography for me, lighting and editing are also fine!

This is even more exciting than the creation fund. Even students majoring in opera and drama are discussing it. So, if we have good creations, can we also apply for the principal to work for us?

For a while, no matter what the foundation is, all students pay close attention to polishing their own stories.In the first year alone, Huaxi has achieved a lot. After receiving the creation fund, it has produced seven student films and thirteen original or adapted plays.

In the end, the whole film was not counted as preliminary work, and it took nearly half a year from shooting to editing.

At this time, it can also be submitted for trial.

Ji Shuangyu filled out the application form, including the script, and sent it to the Film Inspection Committee.The next step is to wait. After obtaining the performance permit, it can be staged nationwide.Moreover, a license is only valid for three years, and after three years it will be screened again, and it has to be re-examined.

The main thing is, once you inspect, you have to pay an inspection fee in addition to paying taxes...

"Principal Ji, you said that the review meeting will let you modify the clips?" The students who participated in the film crew were very worried. This was not the first time he participated in the production of a film, but it was the first time he was so worried. He only thought that a single scene should not be deleted. Just go.

This aroused everyone's discussion, and the content was similar to what Ji Shuangyu heard before crossing.

It is nothing more than accusing the committee of being too strict at times, not understanding movies, and being obsessed with the ban, which makes them often complain and try not to cut scenes.

Some of the films they thought they really wanted to see were actually banned by the committee.From here, it also extends whether each of them has the experience of watching banned films.

There are generally three types of approvals for licenses issued after the inspection.Screening allowed, screened banned, trimmed.

Ji Shuangyu thought for a while: "It's not possible, I didn't shoot any strange content."

As far as the sidelines are concerned, even now the content of feudal superstition is also controlled, but his elements are actually related to folklore and are very scientific, so he should not be allowed to cut them out, right?It made him a little scared.

This inspection will watch the film and also have a meeting, and then discuss the results.In addition, there are more and more production companies now, and a large number of imported films need to be reviewed. Generally speaking, the review process still takes time.

But maybe Ji Shuangyu's movie received too much attention, and he received a reply in just three days.

In front of everyone, Ji Shuangyu opened the letter and glanced at it.

"How is it, Zhunying?...No? You don't want to trim it?" Wang Hesheng asked anxiously.

"No." Ji Shuangyu turned the letter over and showed it to them. On the reply letter with the permission to perform license, it was a handwritten reply that had never appeared before, even with punctuation marks: Quick show! !
