After hearing Yu Dong's words, Deng Jin curled his lips secretly.
Director Yu’s requirements for the screenwriting abilities of his acting students are not low at all.
Senior brothers and sisters all said that their first-year literary literacy class was very easy and not very demanding. Most of the time, they just asked them to write their thoughts after reading, focusing on making them read.
But after the second semester of the second grade, Yu Dong's requirements for them are completely different. They need to have the ability to analyze the script in depth, and they even need to have a certain ability to write the script themselves.
It's not like what Yu Dong said just now, it's just because they wrote the script that they have this requirement.
However, although the students complained verbally about these requirements, they did not complain in their hearts, because facts have proved that as long as they follow the learning route planned by the department, their future development will definitely not be bad.
Deng Xing was also very good at things. He patted his chest and promised, "Teacher Yu, don't worry, although I am a performance major, I am also very interested in other professional knowledge. I know very well that what I want to do is
A good actor needs to pay attention not only to his acting skills, but also to understand the production process of a movie, so that he can achieve a high level of skill and skill."
Yu Dong nodded. Although Deng Xing was singing a high-key tone, he was indeed talking about what the department had been emphasizing.
This is also related to leadership. There are four people in the leadership of the Drama Department of Jinyi Academy. Yu Dong, Zhang Xian, Bi Feiyu and Cui Xinqin. The first three people are either teachers who teach screenwriting or writers. Of course, they are very important to students.
There are requirements for screenwriting ability.
They believe that if students only focus on performance, a problem will arise, that is, their level of actual acting is not stable enough. Basically, they will do whatever the director tells them.
Therefore, their final performance in the film relies heavily on the director's performance, which is why some actors who have clearly performed well have disappointing performances in another film.
If they can have a deeper understanding of film shooting and scripts, they can go further when performing.
To take the simplest example, there are often some very inaccurate lines in film and television dramas. In this case, of course, the screenwriter needs to take the blame.
But if actors can put forward some of their own understanding and suggestions at this time, is there any hope that this situation can change?
At this time, the actor's understanding of the script and the overall process of film and television production can help him improve the overall presentation effect of the film and television drama.
Yu Dong looked at the manuscript in his hand again and said, "Continue to talk about your script. In addition to the writing problems, there are also many problems in the plot. As a murder case, the most basic point is that the murderer must kill the deceased.
Motive, but you didn't even show this. I read the script and only knew that this man and one woman collaborated to kill the editor-in-chief. As for why they colluded together and why they wanted to kill the editor-in-chief, it was not shown.
come out."
Deng Chen scratched his head and said, "But the short film is too short. If I explain these things, wouldn't it be enough?"
"How long are you planning to make this short film?"
"Half, half an hour?"
Deng Wei scratched his head again. In fact, he and Zhao Kui had not seriously thought about this issue at all. They just thought of writing the script first and then editing it after filming was completed.
The entry condition for the Deep Space Short Film Competition is that the duration is less than thirty minutes, so he only said thirty minutes.
The main reason is that they have never made a movie, have no experience at all, and do not know how long a script can last. Just like a person who has never cooked does not know whether to cut one potato or two if he wants to fry a plate of shredded potatoes.
A potato.
When Yu Dong saw him like this, he knew that they had no idea.
"I suggest you go to the directing major and find a senior brother or sister to work with. If it doesn't work, ask them for advice. If you want to do something, either don't do it, or do it well. I know there is not much time, but because there is not much time
You must work harder. There are too many shortcomings in the script, so I won’t mention them one by one. You can also go to the senior brothers and sisters who created the drama to give you pointers and find out the problems.”
Deng Chen nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
Yu Dong said seriously, "Don't just nod and say yes, then go back and do it yourself. Let's do this. You take the script back and change it, whether you change it yourself or ask someone to help you change it. You can come back with the script three days later."
I."
Upon hearing Yu Dong's words, Deng Qian took a deep breath and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Yu Dong saw him become nervous and said with a smile, "Go back."
…
After Deng Qian left, Yu Dong searched in the drawer for a while and found a plan for the 1999 Deep Space Short Film Competition.
This was sent over by someone from Yiliang before. I wanted Yu Dong to review it, but Yu Dong was too busy to look at it at the time, so he just threw it in the drawer.
In fact, even if he is not very busy, Yu Dong does not want to spend time looking at these things. Human energy is limited, and he cannot devote too much energy to such things.
He is good at everything, and he is very capable in all aspects, but there is a problem - in fact, it cannot be said to be a problem. Whenever there is a slightly bigger decision in the company, he always comes to ask Yu Dong for advice.
Because Deng Xiang came over to ask for advice on the script, Yu Dong wanted to find out the plan for the short film competition. He heard Yuliu mention it on the phone before that this year's deep space short story competition faced a wider group of people, so it was established
There are more awards and more generous prizes.
Yu Dong opened the plan and directly found the key content and started reading.
This year is indeed different from the previous one. In addition to the awards awarded to domestic contestants, international awards have also been set up. The scope of international contestants is very wide and is not limited to students.
The awards are also more detailed. There are no longer first, second and third prizes as before, but are divided into the best mystery short film, the best science fiction short film, the most humanistic short film award, etc.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The prize money has been greatly increased. The prize money for the last special prize was 30,000, and the prize money for this year’s annual short film award is 100,000. The best mystery short film, the most
The prize for the best science fiction short film is also worth RMB 50,000.
These bonuses are given to individual producers. In addition, Deep Space will also provide support to potential directors and help them make feature films.
…
Jonathan Nolan couldn't understand why his brother Christopher Nolan spent time making a short film after making a feature film, and also used this short film to participate in a Chinese short film competition.
Just because this competition is organized by Deep Space Company, and the boss of Deep Space Company is YU?
God, Jonathan can swear that his respect for YU is no less than that of his brother Christopher Nolan, but he will not make fun of his career because of his respect for YU.
His brother Christopher Nolan did make his debut with short films. Ten years ago, Christopher Nolan's surreal short film "Tarantella" was shown at the Independent Film Show held by the American Public Broadcasting Corporation. At that time, Christopher Nolan was only two years old.
Less than ten years old.
"Christopher, do you really want to compete?" Jonathan looked at his brother sitting opposite him.
Facing his brother's question, Christopher showed a smile and said, "Of course, I have answered this question for you more than once, Jonathan, no matter how many times you ask me again, the answer is yes. There is nothing difficult to understand. I am not
It's not because of YU - at least, it's not just because of him. Deep Space Company is developing very well now. Their short film competition has been held before, but it was only open to Chinese college students."
"This time they are willing to open it to foreigners, which will be a very good opportunity. Their bonuses are also pretty good, the international award can get up to 10,000 US dollars, and I heard that as long as you win the award, you can hope to get the deep space award.
The company financed the filming of the film.”
Jonathan curled his lips and said: "Are you still worried that no one will invest in you? Your "The Following" will be released in theaters soon, and there will definitely be a lot of companies coming to you to make movies."
"But Deep Space always makes good movies, you have to admit that."
"I'm not denying it."
Jonathan has no way to refute this. He not only likes YU's books, but also likes Deep Space movies. Sometimes he also laments why Deep Space is always able to produce such high-quality movies and almost never fails.
"Also, I have written the script for "Ant Ridge" a long time ago, but I have never had time to shoot it. This time I just took this opportunity to shoot it," Christopher said.
He wrote the script of a short film several years ago called "Antfly". It is a suspenseful story and very compact. It should only be shot in a few minutes.
In the past few years, he has always wanted to shoot "Antfly", but he has never had the time. This time he saw the news about the Deep Space Short Film Competition, and he was interested again.
Seeing his brother's determination, Jonathan sighed with emotion, "You are always so stubborn...but I hope you can agree to my small request."
Christopher raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what kind of request is it?"
Jonathan showed a sly smile, "If you see YU, can you ask him to sign this book for me?"
As he spoke, Jonathan took out an "old book" from his backpack, "and told him that I like this book very much."
Looking at the book in Jonathan's hand, Christopher's mouth twitched. It turned out that Jonathan had said such a long list of words and persuaded him for a long time, and the purpose was to get YU's signature.
The two brothers are both fans of YU. For professional reasons, they are very concerned about literature. They usually write their own books, especially their younger brother Jonathan, who has already completed a novel.
A long time ago, after YU's "Second World" came out, it attracted Christopher's attention, and then he introduced YU to his younger brother Jonathan.
From then on, the two of them have been paying close attention to YU. As long as it is a book published by YU, they have read every book without finishing it.
In fact, another reason why Christopher wants to participate in the competition this time is to get in touch with YU, and then see if there is a chance to adapt YU's novel.
Christopher is very interested in YU's science fiction novels, especially the two novels "The Last City" and "Deep Space". If given the opportunity, he would like to adapt these two novels into movies.
Christopher smiled and took the "Old Book" and said: "There is no problem in getting your autograph, but you have to charge less for the adaptation of "Death Sign"."
Jonathan smiled and nodded, "No problem, I'll charge you one pound less."
Christopher readily agreed, "Okay, it's a pound, at least it's not in vain."
This was completely a joke between the two brothers. They had already discussed the adaptation fee before.
Jonathan wrote a novel called "Death Signs". Christopher thought it was very good and planned to film it. He has been preparing for this recently.
Therefore, when he said that he was going to participate in the Deep Space Short Film Competition, Jonathan had such objections. Jonathan believed that Christopher should focus on the script of "Death Sign" now.
Decide on the script for "Death Sign" or "Memento" as soon as possible, and then find a company to invest in it.
After "The Following" won the award, several companies were indeed interested in Christopher. He should take advantage of this time to contact these companies quickly and launch new movies.
Christopher actually knows what his brother is thinking, but in his opinion, as long as he has a good script, he doesn't have to worry about no one investing. Moreover, compared to companies like New Market and Palo Alto, he hopes that Deep Space Company will pay attention to it.
he.
…
Yu Dong came home very late that night, because not long after Deng Qian left, Wu Changxin went to his office and said he wanted to discuss something with him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In recent years, Deep Space Company has signed more and more writers-in-residence. Wu Changxin hopes to further standardize it. His idea is to bring these writers together
, established a writing center, and then asked Yu Dong to serve as the director of the writing center.
Yu Dong supports the establishment of a writing center because it will better attract writers.
However, Yu Dong declined Wu Changxin's invitation to serve as the director of the center because he already had enough names.
But Wu Changxin was very insistent. He believed that Yu Dong was the best candidate for director of the center in terms of personal achievements and reputation. The most important thing is that most of the writers signed now are because of him, Ruan
Xiaohu is even his student.
In this way, if he serves as the director of the center, others will not have any objections.
In the end, the two of them chatted for several hours but still couldn't decide on the collaboration center. By the time they returned east, it was already dark.
After returning home, Yu Dong saw that the light was not on, and was wondering why Cheng Yanqiu had not come back. After reaching out to turn on the light, he found someone sitting on the sofa, which shocked him.
After seeing clearly that it was Cheng Yanqiu, Yu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Comrade Luoluo, why didn't you turn on the light when you got home?"
Cheng Yanqiu was originally facing Yu Dong. After hearing Yu Dong's voice, she turned around and looked directly at Yu Dong.
Seeing her expression, Yu Dong felt nervous and asked with concern: "Wife, what's wrong with you? Has something happened?"
Cheng Yanqiu suddenly burst into tears, "Husband..."
Yu Dong hurriedly ran over to hug her, and kept comforting: "Don't cry, don't cry, no matter what happens, I will be by your side to face it with you. It's okay, it's okay, don't cry anymore."
