Cai Jueming's red phoenix eyes are not very good-looking.
In fact, most people who have actually seen what red phoenix eyes look like in real life will think that this kind of eyebrow shape with long and slender palpebral fissures and upward curves cannot really be considered "handsome" in the current popular aesthetics. ” or “beautiful.”
However, this kind of eyebrows really has a unique style and charm.
Cai Jueming raised his eyebrows, rubbed He Tianran's Xingyue Bodhi in his hand, and said:
"I like to play with things. When I saw you, Lao He, spinning beads here alone, I thought you were interesting, so I couldn't help but come up and get to know him."
"That may disappoint you. I bought this thing from a scenic spot, and I can't tell the quality. I just put it on my hand just because I like it."
After He Tianran explained, Cai Jueming suddenly stopped in his hands, and then gave him a strange look.
Cai Jueming said nothing. He Tianran felt a little panicked when he looked at him, but he didn't say anything.
The two of them were in a stalemate staring at each other for several minutes. The boy with pink and phoenix eyes couldn't hold it in any longer and said:
"Lao He, why don't we get together."
"So sudden? No more chatting?" He Tianran was flattered.
Cai Jueming handed back the bodhi seed without expressing any opinion on the quality of the string. He just looked directly at He Tianran and said:
"It's not sudden. I've actually been looking at you for quite some time."
He Tianran was dumbfounded, "Let's do art when we do art. It's understandable that I have a weird personality, but don't mess with me. Liking women is my unchanging artistic bottom line."
"Hey, where are you thinking?" Cai Jueming was happy, and then suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "To be honest, reading people's faces is a habit of mine."
He Tianran stared, "Can you still do this?"
Cai Jueming laughed twice and said, "My father specializes in reading faces for a lifetime."
"Hey, are you still studying at home?"
"Not only that, my dad opened a photo studio and also took ID photos and wedding photos for people all his life."
"According to what you say, you are taking the photography major, which means you are inheriting your father's legacy and keeping pace with the times."
Maybe it was because Cai Jueming's Beijing accent was so strong that He Tianran started to praise him unconsciously.
"Anyway, three generations of my family just can't stand this 'face'. Since I was a child..."
Mr. Cai wanted to talk nonsense, but He Tianran quickly stopped and asked:
"Then what do you see in my face?"
Cai Jueming choked in his throat and shook his head after two seconds of silence: "I just find it interesting, but I don't have enough skills to see it."
He Tianran smiled: "It doesn't matter if you can't tell. We're not here to interview the occult society. What's important is whether we can take some pictures later."
Cai Jueming vowed: "Don't worry about this, I also learned photography at home."
Well, taking an ID photo can also create a legacy, which is amazing.
After chatting for a while, the two decided to go to the rehearsal room next door to take a look at the equipment before making a decision.
I have to say that as a top art school, the Film School is really generous with the equipment used by its students, from Sony's mirrorless A7S3 to the professional-grade FS7 to the higher-end ARRI MINI cameras. I dare to take it out for these young boys to use.
Just taking it out is one thing, but whether it can be used is another matter. Many people want to make good use of the machine, but the prerequisite is that they must pass the auditor's test.
Each rental equipment will be recorded by the auditor and will be given to you only after confirming that it will be used, and will be scored accordingly.
This score should only be used for students in the photography and directing departments.
After all, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Choosing reasonable equipment under different circumstances is an introductory lesson that every director and photographer must learn.
"What are you going to take pictures of?"
"What can you do?"
The two said in unison.
Cai Jueming pointed at an FS7.
"During my vacation, I worked as a camera assistant on the set, and I used this device the most. The high tolerance and wide color gamut are beyond the comparison of ordinary small machines. The gray film material I shot just needs to slightly stretch the curve and adjust the color. The cinematic feeling comes out.”
He Tianran looked at several groups of candidates passing by the two of them carrying lights and track tripods, and asked:
"There are only about ten people in your crew who are responsible for lighting, and with the art scenery, the environment will have a cinematic feel no matter what machine you use to shoot it."
Cai Jueming also reacted:
"It makes sense. We only have twenty-four hours. If we have to spend time on the scenery and lighting, the quality of the picture will indeed be better. But after all, we only have so much time. There is definitely a trade-off between preserving the show and preserving the picture, and it also has to be taken into account. Time for your post-editing.”
He Tianran thought for a while:
"I know the question I'm about to ask is going to be stupid, but I'm going to ask it anyway, can't I have it all?"
Cai Jueming shook his head:
"Lao He, let's not mention that you haven't thought about what you want to shoot right now. Even if you have thought about it, do you expect the proud and handsome guys and beauties in the performance department to carry the tripod and push the slide car for you? You just went out It’s not like you haven’t seen that group of people, they are really asking for trouble, so I suggest you don’t even think about it.”
He Tianran touched his chin: "So, is there any way to reduce your burden in photography?"
"have!"
Cai Jueming pursed his lips at the mirrorless camera on the side: "A7S3, this guy is a jack of all trades. It is definitely more than enough to handle this kind of short film work. The image quality can shoot 4K120 frames, and it is also small and portable. I just need to install a stabilizer. I You can adjust the trajectory of the lens by pushing, pulling, and panning, so you don’t need to bring a track or a small rocker.”
He Tianran nodded: "That's it. Then get a 35, 55, and 85 large aperture fixed focus lens."
"Okay."
Cai Jueming borrowed the equipment, and the two returned to the large rehearsal hall and sat cross-legged in the corner, bored.
Two hours have passed now. There are fewer people in the large rehearsal hall. The sound of dialogue during filming can already be heard from the classroom next door. However, there are still many people who believe in the principle of slow work and careful work. Among them, Li Hope is one.
He took the trouble to explain the script he created to the team members. Every move and every shot was described in great detail, as if the finished film had been engraved in his mind and he was just retelling it now.
It is indeed the Demon King Team recognized by the students present. Some improvised teams look at their group of people with great envy. However, most of the directing candidates are always hemming and hawing when talking about the play, chasing the reasons. , but I haven’t decided yet what to shoot.
Cai Jueming installed the stabilizer on the machine and walked around for a few times to test the effect. He asked:
"What are we doing now?"
"wait."
"What are you waiting for? Waiting for someone?"
He Tianran made a fist with one hand and knocked on his forehead: "Waiting for inspiration."
Cai Jueming paused, put down the machine, and sat back beside him.
Many people from the group also came over during the period and extended invitations to Cai Jueming, stating that they wanted to use a double camera lineup to shoot short films. This was a good way to save time, but he rejected them all. The reason for the rejection was , simply refreshing and refined.
"I'm sorry, you have a bad face. I can't stand your face when I shoot something with you."
At this time, those people would subconsciously glance at He Tianran.
After seeing off several groups of people, He Tianran finally turned his head and asked, "Why do you believe me? In fact, you can go to another group. I won't blame you."
Cai Jueming put the mountain ghost money hanging on his chest in his mouth and said vaguely:
"It's very simple, just two words - mentality."
"Finally, it's not a mysterious face anymore?" He Tianran revealed.
Cai Jueming laughed:
"So, I just want to bless you with a little bit of the mysterious power of the East. In fact, I chose to be in the same group with you. I just used reverse thinking. As the twenty-eighth, you definitely want to win more than those candidates who have mid-range scores. , if the top ten in the directing department don't pick me, then I will be more optimistic about you, because of me..."
He took out the number plate he had thrown away from his bag and put it back on.
"I only need to improve three more places before I can be admitted."
He Tianran was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "It seems that your grandfather does have two brushes..."
When the boy said this, he was stunned.
A sudden flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he looked around with a buzzing in his ears.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Cai Jueming asked curiously, He Tianran turned his head, excitement gradually appeared on his face.
"A simple math question, how many directing candidates are there?"
"Twenty-eight."
"What about the acting department?"
"More than one hundred and fifty, how come..."
Cai Jueming's pupils dilated, and he understood what He Tianran wanted to express.
If twenty-eight directors want to use up the more than 150 actors present, the ratio must be 1:5. However, under this extreme creation, the more characters, the more complicated the plot will be. , scheduling is more difficult, and few people have the courage to play like this.
Therefore, at the beginning of creation, many candidates set the script to have around 2 to 5 characters. He Tianran even saw a one-man show with only one actor.
So, if this situation continues to develop, many acting candidates in this rehearsal hall will be destined to have nothing to perform!
Most of these candidates are ranked relatively low.
The longer time goes by, the more anxious they will feel. After all, everyone is just short of the test. Even if they fail to pass the exam in the end, they can't fall short here!
He Tianran jumped up from the ground, and everyone was attracted by his excited behavior. Everyone saw him running to the equipment room next door, and when he came back, he held a blue speaker in his hand.
"Woo~"
There was a burst of noise when the speaker was turned on. He Tianran cleared his throat. Everyone present was looking at him. His eyes were shining. After slowly scanning around, he said in a deep voice:
"Well, there are no students from the Performance Department who have not yet been admitted to the group. I am He Tianran, the No. 28 candidate in the Directing Department. I would like to lend you two minutes and I would like to say a few words..."
The boy's voice paused, and when the discussion stopped suddenly, he continued:
"With my current major ranking, I may not come to the Film School again after today. I know that there are many students from the acting department who have the same idea as me. The ranking is too low and it is too difficult to make a comeback. We I can’t go to those teams with top ten professional scores, because everyone wants to join forces, and the final result will only make the strong stronger and the weak weaker, that is to say..."
He slapped his thigh hard, and a "snap" sound was heard in everyone's ears. He was filled with indignation: "We, the special ones, can't even hug our thighs! Others, no! Wait! See you!"
This fierce action and these realistic words shocked the hearts of the candidates who were also in the lower ranks, while the higher-ranked teams dismissed it.
The expressions of the two groups of people formed a sharp contrast.
Li Wang looked puzzled at first, and then turned to surprise. He knew what He Tianran was doing.
"I have been asking myself this morning, why am I standing here, can it only be these twenty-four hours? Students, people like you and me who have no advantage in professional rankings..."
He Tianran raised his hand and slowly pointed to the door of the rehearsal hall.
"Once this door is closed, it will be someone else's story when it opens again."
He gradually put down the loudspeaker, and the mood at the scene was extremely low for a while. Most of the candidates who are still in the rehearsal hall and have not been grouped have the same mentality.
Suddenly, He Tianran took off the hair tie that tied his hair, and shook his head. His long hair on both sides were messy and unruly, like a lion inspecting everyone, and he was seen "bang bang" twice with his fist. his own chest, and then uttered a sentence loudly.
"So, are we cannon fodder? Why?"
His eyes were like daggers, and he glanced around. Everyone was silent, but no one could take their eyes away from him for even a moment.
"Are we weak? Are they strong?! I don't believe it. Everyone, you have endured so much hardship. You know in your heart that we have fought all the way to get here. Why do you need to be afraid of them! What do I believe? ? I believe that I will be willing to be killed and dare to bring down the emperor! I believe that I will dare to compete with evil spirits and not give in to the overlord! This is the state we should show!"
He looked at the Demon King team, whose members all had single-digit numbers.
This look instantly made the hairs on Li Wang's body stand up, because under the influence of these words, many people followed He Tianran's gaze and shot at him!
Like a awn on my back, cold sweat.
This is the gathering of a small amount into a large number, as if the actual hostility.
"Are those ten people in the top ten of the three majors very good? Do they only play with your own people? What a coincidence, I am ranked last. Just today, I want to beat the top ten of the directing department one by one. Go over! Because I don’t know how you are better than me! I don’t accept this ranking!”
After that, he formally asked everyone present:
"What about you? Are you convinced?"
For a moment, no one spoke, and no one dared to speak.
He Tianran put the trumpet to his mouth again:
"I don't care how many candidates from the performance department still haven't found a team, and I don't care whether you are a boy or a girl, or what your ranking is. I'm going to move equipment to the classroom next door. If you want to join me, come over and help."
As he spoke, he pointed his right thumb towards his chest, confident and arrogant:
"As much as you want, I, He Tianran, want as much as you want!"
With that said, the young man stepped away. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a girl broke the silence——
"Fuck, that's enough man! I'll go with you!"
This girl had already found the team, and the director candidate among them suddenly opened her eyes as big as buckets.
"I am coming too!"
"I just like headwind situations, take me with you!"
"Let's go, let's go, there are so many of us, we are so scared of them! Shooting a fight scene is much more shocking than these pretentious bastards who only know how to make love and love!"
"Together, together, this is interesting!"
"I know I may not pass the exam in the end, but I just want to see how that man just now can win!"
Ten, twenty, thirty!
A group of people followed out of the rehearsal hall in a mighty manner. Cai Jueming, who was sitting at the back, could fit an egg into his mouth. Seeing this scene, his scalp exploded. After regaining consciousness, he quickly got up and followed them, his mouth filled with tears. Live murmured:
"Dear me, I really made a good bet. Why did it suddenly light up during an exam?"
