Chapter 1002 Consonance
When Lu Lingxi resigned and left Suncheon Film Academy, friends and relatives around Lu Lingxi were almost unanimous in their opposition. There is no other reason, you are not yet 30 years old, you have become the head of the photography department of Shuncheon Film Academy, please, department head, Shuncheon Film Academy, even though the school is not big, it is the highest institution in the film industry ! At this age, with this job, he has all the face. In addition, you are the kind of person who is not good at flattering people. As the saying goes, you should be colder. This job is so suitable!
Hurry up, quickly find a suitable partner, the guy is handsome, the best income, job, can match you, a little more money, you see, what an ideal and comfortable life, You don't even need to be very capable, the key is that people are willing to pay for you if you are so beautiful.
At the beginning, there were not many people who supported her resignation.
Many people even said, why do they have to resign? If I really want to go out to act or direct a play, why not ask for a leave of absence? How big of a deal can it be?
But she didn't, after thinking it over, she simply resigned.
Facts have proved that entering Minghu Culture after resigning ushered in the spring of her career.
Now, she is already a well-known talented female director and beautiful director in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Her own beauty is penetrating, making it unforgettable at first sight. Her works are either flowing smoothly, like a clear spring, flowing into the bottom of my heart, or soothing the atmosphere, showing an amazing detail tension.
The Thirteenth Aunt in "Huang Feihong" made her an instant hit as an actress, and "Carry Love to the End" made her establish her reputation as a director in one fell swoop. When "Daming Palace Ci" came out, everyone said Director Lu's directorial work is narrated from a female perspective, but the atmosphere is mixed, and it does not have the petty air that is easy to appear in ordinary female directors, but only the exquisite details and the smoothness of the overall story.
With these two successful works, Lu Lingxi has certainly established himself as a director.
But TV directors are completely different from movie directors.
After doing chores for Li Qian, Han Shunzhang, and directing two TV dramas, Lu Lingxi seemed to feel that she was almost ready, so she chatted with Han Shunzhang and said: I want to make a movie.
This kind of matter is obviously not something that Han Shunzhang can make a decision on, so he called Li Qian's office to make an appointment, and the two of them came together.
In their view, this matter is not easy.
Perhaps in other companies, based on Lu Lingxi's experience over the years, he has served as the dean of the Shuntian Film Academy. The ratings are both overwhelming. At this time, she is going to make a movie of her own, and she already has a certain right to speak. If the investment is not too large, the subject matter and story will make people feel a little reliable. There are already many companies I'm willing to invest in it.
However, here is the Minghu culture.
The company already has several big-name directors working on the movie side, so it's not a problem. It's not a problem if the director of a TV series wants to switch to a movie, but the problem is...is it your turn?
Before Zhao He took over the "Once Upon a Time" series, he had been at the helm of Yu Bojun's small film company for many years. When he came to Minghu Culture, he also started helping Li Qian, until Li Qian thought he was really good, and let him As an assistant director, he participated in the filming of the first part of "Once Upon a Time". After that, he was handed over the second part of "Once Upon a Time", "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant".
Needless to say Feng Bicheng, needless to say about past qualifications, needless to say who served Li Qian and Zhao He, there is only one, his father is called Feng Yumin, and it happens that Li Qian still owes Feng Yumin a favor, so you can't compare.
Jin Han...needless to say.
The key is about the ratings of TV dramas and so on. Among the TV drama directors in the company, how can there be Han Shunzhang!
Lao Han's seniority is second only to Jin Han, and Lao Han's role is even second only to Li Qian.
The second part of "Princess Returning the Pearl", "Love in the Rain", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which one is not a big hit? Moreover, how many times has Old Han Guang been Li Qian's producer and assistant director?
Well, that doesn't matter, let it go.
The biggest problem is actually that Lu Lingxi knows that he cannot make purely commercial films!
This is the very core of the problem!
Look at Minghu Culture's productions since it participated in the film and television industry, almost all of them are works that have achieved great commercial success. Some of them are of course very artistic and have excellent reputation, but in the final analysis, apart from Li Qian's "Red Sorghum" and Jin Han's two previous films, Minghu Culture will invest in the production of films with a very clear goal, which is to directly Going to the box office!
"My Sassy Girl" hit the first shot, "Once Upon a Time", "Big Wrist", "Once Upon a Time in China", "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant", "The Matrix", "Dragon Inn", including "Shaolin Temple" and " Crazy Stone, including Li Qian's next movie which is said to be in preparation and will have a huge investment, every one of them.
As for Lu Lingxi herself, even if she is filming TV dramas that are well-known and definitely focus on storytelling, her way of filming is "Carrying Love Through to the End" with a bit of literary style, and "Daming Palace Ci" Yes, if she transitions to making movies, she will definitely continue to take this path.
Like Jin Han, saying "I made two TV series for you, you have to pay me to make the movie I want to make"?
No, she is not Jin Han, nor is she now.
She couldn't say such words.
So she is very torn.
But she didn't expect that Li Qian would ask directly, "Movie? Or TV series?"
Lu Lingxi turned to look at Han Shunzhang, and was a little surprised to see Han Shunzhang, knowing that he probably hadn't told Li Qian about his thoughts in advance, so he hesitated and said, "I know that I may not be very good at taking pictures that can make a lot of money. commercial film. I... how should I put it, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Qian asked, "That means I still want to make a movie, right?"
Lu Lingxi bit the bullet and nodded.
That was indeed the purpose of her trip.
Li Qian raised Erlang's legs, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, no problem."
Lu Lingxi was stunned for a long time, and then said: "No, didn't you understand what I meant just now? I mean, I want to make a movie, but I can't make the company's commercial movies, I..."
Li Qian laughed, "My Mr. Lu, who told you that commercial movies must be commercial films to make money? Who told you that as long as you make some slow-moving movies with a little romance, there must be no box office?"
Lu Lingxi froze for a moment, then slowly came back to his senses.
She heard the subtle difference in Li Qian's expression.
What he said was, "a slow-moving movie with a little sentimentality," not a "literary movie."
That's right, this is her pulse!
Shuncheon Film Academy is not only the highest institution in the domestic film industry, but also the base of domestic literary and artistic films. Although the commercialization of film production has been irresistible in the past ten years, the Film Academy is also making a little bit of education. direction, but in the final analysis, the palace of art teaches the art of film. You let the professors of the film school praise a Hollywood commercial film that purely pursues the box office, tells a poor story, and is full of special effects on the screen. How can it be?
Having been in it for many years, Lu Lingxi is of course also a part of literary films and a staunch supporter.
However, she is different from those who insist on studying European films from beginning to end.
When she was still in school, she took the class and served as the head of the department. Her thinking would be a little more biased, and many European literary and artistic films were regarded as classics. He is not against it either, even when teaching Li Qian and the others, he spent several hours deconstructing the lens language of several Hollywood commercial blockbusters.
It can be said that even when she was a firm supporter of art films, she has always been sober. She understands that films are made for people to watch. Of course, some masters can make some extremely high-end and awesome films Art movies, those movies can be said to be specially made for people like them. But a really good movie must be based on artistic style and artistic appeal, so that ordinary audiences can understand it and like it.
After she resigned and joined Minghu Culture, she started doing odd jobs for Li Qian with the crew, and later participated in the filming of "Huang Feihong" as an actor. She has always observed and thought hard. How many times do you know, as a teacher, she asked Li Qian in turn, and Li Qian tried his best to answer her, at least throwing out an introduction to enlighten her.
Afterwards, Lu Lingxi began to take charge of the guide and became a director.
Her personal film view and her directing philosophy gradually became clear—although her past two works were TV dramas, Li Qian has always paid close attention to her, and she can still see her way of thinking.
She respects the essential artistry of film as an artistic expression, but at the same time, she also respects the audience's viewing experience-her picture composition is particularly particular, and almost every important shot feels particularly memorable , and at the same time, despite the slow pace, she tried her best to tell a complete, clear, logical and self-consistent human story.
Therefore, Li Qian said that she is "slowly talking about small sentiments".
It hits the nail on the head!
Of course Lu Lingxi knows what she loves, of course she knows what her thinking is, but she has never thought about giving her directing thinking a proper name, so after hearing Li Qian's words, She summed up her thoughts in one sentence with great precision. She was stunned for a long time, then nodded and said, "That's right! I just want to make this type of movie."
Li Qian nodded, "Yes."
Lu Lingxi turned to look at Han Shunzhang.
At this time, Han Shunzhang already had a smile on his face.
Although he didn't speak, his expression clearly showed that he seemed to be saying, "Congratulations!"
Li Qian nodded and agreed so easily!
Although the person sitting in front of him was once his student, after staying in Minghu Culture for the past few years, it was better when he got together outside of work. In the company, or when talking about work, the kind that used to be his The feeling of the teacher has long been lost.
She is no different from other contracted directors and contracted actors in the company. She is facing her own boss, and she is a boss who crushes her level in terms of talent and achievements in the same job!
Therefore, Li Qian agreed without waiting for her to say anything, but she seemed more nervous than before and said, "No, I...I think I might lose money."
Li Qian laughed and said, "You haven't tried it yet, how do you know that you will definitely pay?"
After a pause, he said, "Besides, even if you don't look for me, I think you can try a movie for the next play. How about it, your next play will be a romance theme?"
Lu Lingxi's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she let go of the nervousness just now, and even subconsciously moved her body forward, "Don't tell me you have a script?"
Li Qian is the most famous gold medal screenwriter in China right now!
Some even call him a master storyteller.
From Minghu Culture's first TV series "Legend of the New White Snake" all the way, more than 90% of the film and television works produced by Minghu Culture are his scripts, and almost every TV series and movie has a particularly good story.
Lu Lingxi wants to switch careers to directing movies. If she can get Li Qian's script for this first work, in her opinion, it will certainly add a success insurance for this water-testing work.
It's just that she doubted whether Li Qian would have it there, or whether he could write the kind of story she wanted - Li Qian guessed it right, she really wanted to make a love movie, that's exactly what she wanted to do. It is a kind of "slowly telling a little emotional" story, but "Meteor Garden", "Princess Returning the Pearl" and other bloody romance dramas are fine. "Carrying Love to the End" is better, but it is only a youth drama. In terms of story, taste, and style, it still falls short of her requirements.
Even "My Sassy Girl", she thinks it's too noisy and too deliberate.
At present, she is still conceiving the story herself, and asked her good friend Chen Kefang to help her think of the story and write the book, but until now, she still has not thought of or encountered a good story that makes her heart beat and wants to start shooting right away.
At this time, Li Qian had already stood up, walked behind his desk, opened the safe, searched for a while, then came back with two thin scripts, handed them to Lu Lingxi, and said, "Two , as you choose."
Lu Lingxi took it in surprise, and opened the first book, which was called "Autumn Fairy Tale".
