Today was the first day of the second semester of the fourth year. Later in the evening, the other three roommates arrived.
As usual, the four of them went out for dinner and then went to the nightclub for a night.
However, Lin Ran was not familiar with them now. They had just had dinner together and used the excuse of not feeling well to return to the dormitory.
The next day at 9 AM.
The counselor held the first class meeting of the new semester.
"Students, this is the last semester of your undergraduate course. We have already finished all the professional courses. Your biggest task this semester is to shoot a graduation project.
This is also a test of the knowledge that everyone has learned in the past four years. Everyone must treat it seriously.
If the graduation film is good, we might be able to get an investment and direct a feature film in the cinema…"
Counselor Wang Hai Yi warned him seriously.
Upon hearing his words, many of the 20 or so people below the stage revealed looks of yearning in their eyes.
For a new director, the most difficult thing was to attract investors.
In his previous life, Lin Ran spent a full seven years drinking with investors until he almost vomited blood before he managed to pull in a 30 million investment.
"It's not that easy. Let's slowly gain experience.”
Lin Ran's roommate, Li Yuxing, shook his head.
"Let's try. What if it succeeds?"
Lin Ran smiled.
"This is even less than the chance of winning the five million lottery. We don't even know what level we are at.
If you were an investor, would you dare to trust a newbie with tens of millions?”
Li Yuxing still shook his head.
Lin Ran didn't say anything else because Li Yuxing was telling the truth.
In his previous life, I'm Not The Drug God's director, Wen Muye, had a master's degree in directing from Beijing Film Academy.
In 2011, he directed the short film " Golden Orchid ", which won the 5th Shandong Youth Microfilm Competition for Outstanding Director and Outstanding Scriptwriter.
In 2012, he directed the short film Battle, which won the Special Jury Award of the 7th First Youth Film Festival and the Best Film Award of the 2013 First Youth Film Festival.
In 2014, he directed the short film Requiem, which won the 6th Macau International Film Festival's Microfilm University Group's Microfilm Director Award.
Looking at this resume, how many people here could have such a standard?
In the end, even Wen Muye had to wait until 2015 to participate in directing the romance movie " The City in Love ", and it was only one of the units.
This movie had many stars such as Big Honey, Soft Sutra, Jiang Shuying, Huang Xuan, Bai Baihe, and so on. In the end, the box office sales were only 53.59 million. It could be said to be a huge failure.
If it wasn't for Ning Hao's appreciation and the fact that he was able to direct " I'm Not the Drug God," Wen Muye would never have made it big.
Therefore, even if they produced a short film that was recognized by the industry, it would still be difficult to get investment.
If they didn't have a strong background, they would slowly gain experience.
At this moment, Lin Ran felt very lucky.
With so many film and television resources in his previous life, his starting point was much easier than these students.
After the class meeting, Lin Ran returned to the dormitory, turned on the computer, and thought about what to shoot for her graduation project.
The graduation work of the directing department was usually a short film that was less than 20 minutes long.
To be honest, it was very difficult to shoot a stunning film in 20 minutes.
However, a French short film instantly appeared in Lin Ran's mind. He immediately searched on Google.
No!
"This is it!"
Lin Ran immediately made a decision.
That's right, Lin Ran was going to film 'The Tuner' which many people had seen before.
The short film told the story of what happened after the murder of a piano tuner who pretended to be blind.
Although it was only a 14-minute short film, the tension of the plot was amazing.
The movie used a clever but clever concept to hide the greed, cowardice, and hypocrisy of human nature in the body of the piano master who pretended to be blind. It was full of powerful dramatic tension.
In particular, the mystery of whether the tuning engineer was killed at the end triggered a lot of discussion among the audience. Whether it was on Douban or Zhihu, it was a heated debate.
In Lin Ran's previous life, after watching this short film, it could be said that he was shocked. In order to figure out the final mystery, he watched it over and over again, not letting go of any details.
Therefore, even after such a long time, Lin Ran still remembered the plot of this short film clearly.
Crackle ~~~
Lin Ran opened the Word document and started writing the script.
It was only a 14-minute short film, and Lin Ran only spent more than an hour to finish it.
However, as a director, he still had to draw up the script.
The so-called storyboard was the medium that converted text into a three-dimensional visual image, designed the corresponding picture, equipped with music and sound, and grasped the rhythm and style of the film.
The role of the storyboard was like the blueprint of a building. It was the basis and blueprint for the photographer to shoot and the editor to do post-production. It was also the basis for the actors and all the creative staff to understand the director's intentions, understand the content of the script, and re-create.
In the industry, the script was for the actors to read, and the storyboard was for the director to read.
