Chapter 306: Chen Shi's Road to Director

After the Chinese New Year, in mid-March, Chen Shizheng was holding a script, sitting in front of a camera, wearing sunglasses, and a loudspeaker next to him, looking like a well-known director.

Chen Shi originally wanted to find someone to take pictures, but he knew that no one could take pictures of what he wanted at the moment, and he knew how to take pictures.

Followed by more than a dozen new directors, all of whom have graduated from the Film Academy’s Director Department for many years and are still unknown, and some of them have just graduated.

Chen Shi took them to study and then asked them to take pictures by themselves. This is actually not difficult, but the difficult thing is how to master the wealth code.

"You remember that if you want to get high attention, there are only two points: positioning the crowd is your audience. This must be clearly positioned, just like doing business, wholesale what to sell to which group of people, and shooting things. Find a good positioning and plan around this positioning." Chen Shi said to the person behind him.

"Mr. Chen, are you also graduated from the director department?" asked a young man in his early twenties.

"No, because the directors who can be called a high-ranking official film and television colleges are basically not from a serious film and television college. Some people go to get a diploma in the later stage, which is also after they become famous.

There are very few who graduate from professional film and television schools, but they can become famous. Do you know why?"

Those who graduated from professional schools later were a little angry. After all, Chen Shi was told to the face. However, when he used the house to refute what Chen Shi said, many well-known directors and actors at home and abroad have become monks halfway through, and there are indeed few who come from professional schools.

"Why?" a girl asked, looking at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi thought for a while and said, "Art is different from literature and research. It doesn't mean that professional colleges cannot be trained, but can also be trained, such as TVB's wireless training classes and some colleges that are collaborating with Hollywood.

Let me talk first. If you don’t study arts but instead study liberal arts, your tutors will definitely be much better than you in your professional field. You will learn and keep learning.

Especially the teachers in higher education institutions are all big shots in the same field, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the best. They teach you, and if you don’t understand, you can ask them, and they will find your questions and give you answers.

But to put it bluntly, your teachers don’t have any practical experience, but their professional knowledge is beyond doubt, but what about the professionalism?

Most of the majors related to art require personal talent. Everyone has a different understanding of art. Art comes from life. How many of you here have experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, the various aspects of the world, the separation of life and death, and the intrigue?

Those who become famous in non-professional colleges, whether they are actors or directors, have you not noticed that they have basically one thing in common before they become famous, that is, they live in the bottom layer in a down-and-out manner. The things they shoot often make people feel very real, have a sense of substitution and resonance. They have a very strong control over the characters and stories.

On the contrary, after becoming famous, the things these people photographed became more and more ordinary. Why? Because they left the bottom and had been separated for too long, they had no advantage.

In contrast, the celebrities and actors who have become famous in some professional schools have very obvious commonalities. Many of them are just from families, or have been struggling in society for many years, and have gone to professional schools at their own expense.

Why do they want to go to school? For opportunities, because the circles of professional schools are different and there are many opportunities, this group of people can get up as long as there is a chance. What did they learn to go to school? It was nothing more than systematically learning some terms and some performance skills.

But to be honest, those who are nothing more than icing on the cake for them, mainly teachers from domestic colleges and universities rarely have their own experience in becoming famous and have their own works. If an apprentice becomes famous, it will be very rare. In the end, the apprentice has to say thank you to the teacher, but you just need to observe carefully.

Are the first movies of these famous professional schools filmed by famous directors? They were re-polished and trained by those great directors. These great directors are really amazing, but they don’t teach. To be honest, people don’t like the little money in teaching, and people don’t like the little reputation.

Like Teacher Huang, he suddenly went back to teach in Dahong Dazi. He said that because he was too arrogant, becoming famous would make him feel unreal and confused. This was also what an old friend of his age told him.

Do you find out whether Teacher Huang is particularly capable of teaching the apprentice of the acting school? It is because he has experienced the test of the market and has been in this circle for a long time.

I have also worked with great directors and well-known actors, knowing their pros and cons, and knowing how they shoot and act, so this is a good thing for students, but there are too few such people.

The wireless training class of TVB was different back then. It also had majors such as directors and actors. Students went to the crew to learn after training for a few days.

I was surrounded by the four heavenly kings, Fa Ge, Stephen Chow, and Uncle Long. The four heavenly kings also came here to learn from Fa Ge and the others, and Fa Ge also learned from others earlier.

He had strong practical experience, and people in that era had suffered a lot, so he could express and use more things.

You see if TVB is no longer popular now. The main reason is that big brands are going to act in movies, and they are all coming to the domestic market to develop, so they have no time to bring new people.

Most of you have no worries about food and clothing, and have a very good understanding of professional knowledge, but they know nothing about the market. They still feel that the things they take are not caring about, and they always feel that they are not satisfied with their talents. They are actually living in the world they have built.

You look down on commercial movies, but if there is no box office for commercial movies, do you believe it or not, and there are no TV stations to buy film and television dramas, because the general public is the consumer group and the largest audience group.

If you didn’t make one-third of the general public like it, then your movies were indeed average. Why? The general public has too large a base, and there are always people who like a style.

But if you don’t like it, it means that your work has no content or selling points. You think it’s great, but that’s just you think it’s your own.

I can tell you bluntly that you must make money first so that you have the opportunity to achieve more things, and money is to shoot things that the market likes.

This is the second point I have told you. You need to abandon your own point of view. Before you become a leader, you must first consider the audience, not yourself.

Once you become a big director, you can shoot at most one or two works you like. The hits are fine, but they fail, but investors still don’t buy it.

But the risk is relatively low, and there will be people investing, but the reputation of two or three consecutive works is bad, so no one can invest in such a big director.”

If it weren't for time travel, they wouldn't understand it after saying it. Chen Shi would tell them that there would be a 10 billion-dollar actor in the future, and his surname was Huang, who suddenly became popular, and then filmed a few movies and took a break for a year and a half.

I went to an outdoor reality show to play a ticket, and then I went to buy groceries, go shopping, and take care of my children. I was often encountered and taken photos by people, and then chatted with everyone.

If you talk about everything, you will contact the lowest level. In his words, you are afraid that you will be lost and not down-to-earth will make you lose creative inspiration. The more you are on it, the more you are blindly arrogant, and what you think is also out of reality.

Why do many traffic sing averagely and act like a normal person? If you are asked to be a trainee as a teenager, you will train singing, dancing, and body every day.

After a few years of training, you will be in a state of being out of society, and you will not be in love or wander around, just in a small circle.

This singing relies on skills, and acting is basically literal. Social experience is really something you can understand at first glance.

Most teachers in many art schools stay at school to teach after graduation, and do not have much experience, mostly from books, which leads to strong knowledge in books, but it is difficult to control some details.

The reason why those people from non-professional colleges end up going to school is very simple. They learn professional knowledge in order to use it after going abroad. Many professional knowledge after going abroad is common, that is not what you think is, so the combination of the two is the final form of a big director and a big actor.

At that time, a talent show, one of them always emphasized that Maomao's skills were not good. As a result, the songs written by Maomao were very popular, and the instructor did not have a representative work.

But Maomao has many songs, and many people are saying how can I write these songs at such a young age?

This is related to the medical professionalism that Maomao is engaged in. The job is to see the separation of life and death every day, the warmth and coldness of human nature, and face the final face of human nature every day, which many people will not experience in their entire lives.

Everyone was digesting Chen Shi's words, and Chen Shi stood up and said, "You can watch more people's livelihood news and legal programs, especially those criminals who are so cruel and inhumane. You can also read more psychology books and then learn business administration. These are what you should read, not your professional books.

I found that many people are still watching. Your professional knowledge is enough. What you need now is to improve your understanding of human nature.

I have read many of you, basically philosophical, and plagiarize some well-known directors' plots and use their shooting techniques. That's someone else's, you can't learn it.

Next, I will demonstrate to you what the market is and what insight into human nature is. Let’s make a bet. The short video I shot has a click rate of over one million or not. If I lose, I will give each of you five million as shooting funds. If you lose, then shoot as I said, sign a three-year contract period, and dare to gamble."

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone dared to speak.

"What? Are you scared? A group of professionals are still afraid of me as an amateur? Let's do this, millions may be a little low, tens of millions, what if the click rate exceeds tens of millions, whether to bet!"

"Gambling!" a boy stood up and said.

Others also stood up to agree to Chen Shi's conditions. Chen Shi directly used the contract to make a contract on-site. It was very difficult to hit the clock rate of tens of millions, and this group of professionals knew very well.

"Okay, I have to learn it. This is the script. Each of you each has one book. First, shoot the first short video. We are shooting a video of the person setting position. Here we need to explain it. If you want to shoot a video, a movie, or a TV series, you must highlight a certain character. This is to let the audience leave a memory point for your work.

Because of the plot, the audience will be vague, but for someone, they may remember it for a long time. For example, many people cannot remember the plot of Farewell My Concubine, but they remember Chen Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou.

There is also the Legend of Sword and Fairy, I remember Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, and Mr. Jin’s works only have a few characters to remember.

The old man of ancient times is very good at this point, but he likes to stop and find a ghostwriter, and he goes to have fun after earning the royalties.

Li Xunhuan, Chu Liuxiang, Hua Manlou, Ximen Chuxue, Ye Gucheng, Lu Xiaofeng, etc. This will make you remember the characters. According to the characters, you will think of the author and some plots, and you may relive a drama and a book.

What we are going to shoot now is the person setting position, which means to first make the character design. When writing the script, the first character design to be written is the courier and the entry point of the little person. This actually has its own traffic, which is a large number of related practitioners.

The plot is very simple. The courier rides a tricycle to deliver goods and accidentally hits a Ferrari. The owner of the Ferrari gets off the car and humiliates the courier.

This has aroused a group of people's hatred of the rich mentality, thinking that rich people are all virtuous and will hit your car if they are so bad. If you are so rich, you will definitely be able to repair it. Let the courier leave as soon as possible.

This is the end, and then let the courier fight back and tell the owner of the Ferrari that you should not bully people too much, stay on the front line and meet in the future.

The owner of the Ferrari was still humiliated. The courier couldn't bear it anymore and called. The owner of the Ferrari was mocking me for waiting for you to see what kind of ability you have.

As a result, the courier finished a phone call, and the next second, more than a dozen luxury cars drove over and dozens of people came down.

When we get here, we can finish a short video. The audience will think about what will happen next and will continue to pay attention.

Next, we can give the courier a few identities, former Soldier King or the president of a courier company to experience life, and teach Ferrari owners how to be a human being.

The owner of Ferrari begs for forgiveness. This is a reversal. The small person at the bottom may be a big person, and it also gives people a vent to make people feel happy.

Of course, if you want to take a longer shot, you can arrange for the courier to be the son-in-law of the house. After the matter is resolved, you are ridiculed and bullied by your father-in-law's family when you return home. The result is a reversal. The son-in-law loses his memory and his memory is restored. He was once the King of War, the son-in-law of the richest man, etc., and there are various reversals.

Highlighting how the arrogant and domineering father-in-law's family was shocked and frightened, and then turned into a pug to please the courier...

Remember, the character of the courier must be established, have some memory points, find a handsome person to act, and then the name is better to be called Long Aotian, who has a high memory points, and do not call it Zhang Qiang or Ma Qiang."

Everyone was confused. This thing~ Can anyone watch it? There is no logic at all. After hitting someone else's car, he was very upset. Moreover, the King of War, the son of the richest man, and the son-in-law who came to the door.

Can the son-in-law accept it when he comes to the house? My father-in-law and his family are full and he is full and targeting him every day?
