Chapter 59
Release-Awesome
"How can campus movies be shot like this?"
Later, Luo Jianzhou watched "The Genius" in another cinema and was slightly shocked.
He didn't bring anyone with him. After getting a movie ticket from the producer, he quietly walked into the screening hall alone.
He didn't want anyone, especially reporters, to know that he took the initiative to go to the cinema to watch "The Gunslinger".
Although not everyone knows about his "love rival" relationship with Wang Wei in public. But last year they had schedule conflicts, and he was forced to do so, and everyone saw it.
And this time, he almost came with a magnifying glass.
He really wanted to see if Wang Wei was so arrogant, did he really have something to rely on, or was he just too good at showing off?
In the first few minutes, he was a little surprised by the suspenseful atmosphere of the movie, but also had a hint of disdain: Is this Wang Wei's reliance? Making a fuss?
After watching the fifteenth minute of the movie, Luo Jianzhou frowned and vaguely felt, well, this movie does have some rules.
Everyone makes commercial films, and Luo Jianzhou knows some things right away.
No matter how varied its presentation techniques are, "The Genius" actually strictly adheres to the script structure of a commercial movie.
To be honest, he is familiar with all the above-mentioned jaw-dropping genre film expression techniques, and he is relatively good at them.
The first 15 minutes of "The Genius" is obviously the first sequence - "the triggering incident". Because of the conflict between subjective desires and objective reality, the heroine helps her friend cheat for the first time, which starts the important content of this movie.
Xiaolin helped the second female lead get good grades and was invited to the home of the second female second-generation rich boyfriend to celebrate.
Even if academic masters do bad things, they are professional!
Xiaolin inadvertently invented a method of cheating when she was playing the piano. She used the fingerings of the four famous songs as secret codes to represent the answers to the multiple-choice questions ABCD, and used piano lessons as an excuse to train the rich second generation to cheat.
…
Seeing this, Luo Jianzhou couldn't help but want to complain: This is really an extremely inefficient, easily exposed, and too romantic cheating method.
In other words, a two-hour classic movie usually consists of several "8 to 15 minute long sequences", each sequence has its own internal structure.
Two talented teenagers met while participating in a knowledge competition and won the first prize together to bring glory to the school. However, upon returning, they were told that they would become competitors.
Combined with the ever-increasing dramatic tension of the film, Luo Jianzhou suddenly discovered that Wang Wei's ability to grasp the selling points of commercial films seemed to be even better than his own.
Naturally, these two people are not as professional as Luo Jianzhou in watching movies. They only care about whether they are good or not.
——Here, Wang Wei made a localized adaptation. In the original work, the best way out for Thai students is to study abroad, but after all, China is one of the two superpowers, and it has the world's top universities.
Oh shit, why are you so nervous? Why are your palms sweaty?
Luo Jianzhou knew that the third sequence - "Entering the New World" should come. The protagonist will inevitably encounter setbacks and troubles here.
Xiaolin finally answered all the questions at the last second, and delivered the answers to the cheaters almost perfectly.
I pity the hearts of parents in the world.
Luo Jianzhou saw the super combination of fast editing of detailed pictures + sound effects and music!
Close-ups of various details - the fingers playing on the table, the pen tip, the smeared answer sheets, the exchange of test papers, the characters' eyes, the beads of sweat on the face and forehead... The rapid editing creates an unprecedented sense of tension and excitement.
How the hell is this a youth movie!?
What's more important is that they clearly knew that cheating was wrong, but the director made them unconsciously support Xiaolin who helped others cheat, sympathized with her, and worried for her...
With this thought, his original intention to criticize Wang Wei gradually disappeared.
The movie was very exciting, but Luo Jianzhou's heart sank subconsciously and his face was serious.
When they first started cheating, they were still mumbling: Isn't this just a cheat sheet? Isn't it just passing on the answers? Nothing good...
The movie succinctly explains the plight of Xiaoban's family, which is ten times more miserable than Xiaolin's. Obviously, he should need this opportunity more than Xiaolin.
Although he is not an entertainment reporter, Wang Wei's conflict with the media is still a hot topic at the moment. Lao Liu also immediately bought the movie tickets for "The Genius" to see it, and maybe he can also get a hot spot.
In Luo Jianzhou's view, the scene where Xiao Lin communicated with her father was entirely due to the wonderful performances of Junior Sister Shen and veteran actor Cheng Guangtian, which made this "turning point" more convincing.
However, he never thought that he could combine this technique with the ordinary exams in his usual thinking, and make the boring exams as exciting and exciting as action scenes.
However, commercial movies are all about romance and heartbeat.
Next, everyone entered the examination room to take the final exam. This short 7 minutes is the most exciting scene in the movie so far!
Along with the beautiful piano music, the school hung up a large banner "Warm congratulations to the students who won the scholarship for the 1991 academic year." The first person who caught the eye was Xiaolin, and looking further down, it was the belated male protagonist. Small classes.
Luo Jianzhou didn't want to be discovered by reporters, but what's interesting is that to his left was a reporter, Old Liu.
But Xiaolin's mentality collapsed.
Fortunately, he was not an entertainment reporter, so he didn't recognize that there was a new director next to him.
And the first scene should come next, which is the "turning point", how the heroine is pushed to a major turning point step by step by events.
Coupled with the unique rebellion of adolescence, a turning point suddenly appears.
Until the rich second generation mentioned the huge sponsorship fees that the school has to pay, everyone has to pay, even geniuses are no exception.
My father calmly said: This private school can give students a lot of opportunities for domestic and foreign competitive examinations, which will help them gain extra points in the college entrance examination.
As for the answer?
The first scene of passing the rubber exploded with intense tension;
The second large-scale examination of the AB paper created a sense of familiarity that made people feel numb. The "cooperation" among the students in the examination room and their imaginative cheating tricks were like a large-scale criminal art. exhibit.
Unable to speak, the number of cheaters has increased significantly. How can Xiaolin help all those who hold two sets of different test papers successfully cheat?
She loved her father and felt heartbroken that her father had to bear this undue expense for no reason; she wanted to make a voice, but in the face of reality, it was like she was in a vacuum with nowhere to draw on, and could not get any response.
It’s so beautiful!
For Xiaolin and Xiaoban, this is the best opportunity to change their destiny.
Xiaolin, who knew the truth, had a very good expression. When she faced the darkness of reality for the first time, she seemed a little overwhelmed and unable to adapt.
In addition to his superb editing and scoring skills, Wang Wei's training of the actors in this group scene is also remarkable.
The small class’s questions let Xiaolin and all the cheaters know that there are two sets of exam papers.
She asked her father why he wanted to transfer her to a private school. She was very happy in the original public school.
When the plot has developed to this point, everyone is simply happy.
It seems that he is the opposite of Xiaolin. This is a young man with incomparable integrity. When faced with a classmate who wants to bribe him to help him cheat, his only reaction is to refuse, firmly.
The music and sound effects are active at the same time - in addition to the classical piano sound and the fast-paced soundtrack that creates a sense of tension, you can even hear the enhanced sound effects of the paper turning integrated with other sounds.
The school only has one place to participate in a certain competition, and those who win the competition can be directly admitted to the top universities in the country.
He further pointed out: She had top grades in her original public school, but when compared across the country, there are not many people with the same top grades. So to ensure that she is admitted to the top university in the country, she needs to compete to get extra points. This is transfer.
purpose.
They felt that their emotions had been completely manipulated by the director.
Only one-third of the movie has passed, but any doubts about Wang Wei's directorial talent can be thrown into the trash can.
Xiaolin went home and dug out the receipt for the sponsorship fee. It was obvious that her father deliberately concealed this matter from her because he was afraid that Xiaolin would be distracted by it.
He sighed silently: "Awesome!"
Relying on this method, Xiaolin made all the second-generation students who participated in the cheating get excellent grades, and she also made money to buy new clothes for her father, and new members continued to join.
The rich second generation promised Xiaolin to give her more than 40,000 yuan to buy her smart brain to help the rich second generation students cheat. Of course Xiaolin refused.
The father's image is very three-dimensionally shaped by the veteran actor. The family conditions are not optimistic, but he is willing to bear the pressure alone, just to give his daughter a better chance to compete.
As expected.
On the right side of Luo Jianzhou is Yin Youyou, his loyal fan of Junior Sister Shen.
Therefore, almost at the same moment, Luo Jianzhou heard the audience around him sighing in a low voice——
"Awesome!"
