Chapter 530 Recruiting Soldiers
Li Qian was a little confused.
But when he stepped through the door, he still said, "Hello, Teacher Lu, and Hello, Teacher Chen."
Lu Lingxi teaches professional courses, which are only for photography department, directing department, production department and art department. Chen Kefang teaches screenwriting basics, but it is a public course for the whole school. Therefore, both of them are Li Qian's serious teachers. .
After Li Qian said hello, Chen Kefang still couldn't stop laughing, Lu Lingxi was better, so she forced herself to stop laughing, and pushed Chen Kefang, "Okay, don't laugh." Then he quickly explained to Li Qian, "We two It happened to be a joke, as soon as you pushed the door and came in, we couldn't help laughing, it wasn't aimed at you! Sit down!"
Li Qian smiled, pulled up a chair at her desk and sat down, and asked curiously: "What joke, can you tell me?"
Before Lu Lingxi could answer, Chen Kefang still had a smile on his face, but he said at that moment: "Do you want to listen to the private talk about women?"
Of course it's hard to inquire about this, so Li Qian just smiled and made no excuses.
At this time, Lu Lingxi had basically calmed down, and asked briskly, "Your wife is filming in the back, are you here to pick her up?"
"Ah?" This time it was Li Qian's turn to be stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head, "No. I really didn't know that they would come to shoot today. I will hand over to Sun Yuting and Lao Lu Bin for her MV shooting. Didn't ask."
When Li Qian said this, Lu Lingxi couldn't help asking: "So, you came here for something else? I've seen you once since the end of the Chinese New Year. You are a student, and you are not qualified! Don't Tell me that you are here to ask for leave again! This time I can't grant it to you again!"
Li Qian smiled, "Then I'll wait until the vacation is over, and then I'll come back and ask for leave after two days."
Chen Kefang laughed out loud when he heard the words, Lu Lingxi shook his head helplessly, glared at Li Qian, pointed at him, and said, "Have you ever seen such a student? He always jokes with the teacher!"
Chen Kefang didn't accept her fault, she was still smiling, so she gave Lu Lingxi a wink, and took a special look at the script in Lu Lingxi's hand, signaling that don't forget what she asked, then stood up and said : "Don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know your blessings, how wonderful we Li Qian are! Li Qian, if Director Lu doesn't want you anymore, please say hello to Mr. Chen, I'll help you transfer your student status to our screenwriting department, and you must ask for leave Please, it’s okay to graduate, no one’s stuck with you, how about it?”
Li Qian smiled. Seeing that Chen Kefang seemed to be leaving, he also stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, then it's a deal. Teacher Lu won't let you leave later, so I'll find you!"
Chen Kefang laughed again, then waved his hands, and said, "Sit down, you two, teachers and students, talk, I have something to do, so I have to go first."
Hearing this, Li Qian hurriedly said: "Don't, it just so happens that you are here, Mr. Chen, which saves me trouble. As for me, I came here this time because I have something to trouble you two teachers."
Chen Kefang turned her head and looked at Lu Lingxi, and said strangely: "Yo, this is rare, do you still need our help?" While speaking, Li Qian seemed to have something really to do, not just a formality, but Turn around and sit down, "Then tell me, let me see if I can help! You are such a big boss, and you are still a great talent. If you want to find someone to help, I guess I can't do it!"
Li Qian smiled, turned around and sat down, and said: "Since I'm looking for you, it must be something you can do! That's it, isn't our 96th level graduating soon, plus there are still 95th level, I have already graduated from class 94, and I am also a junior in class 97. Although I have some contact with classmates in the screenwriting department, I am definitely not as deep as you, Mr. Lu and Mr. Chen. So, I would like to ask you for help to recommend A few students who are good screenwriters! It doesn't have to be 96, 95, 94, or 97, as long as I can afford it..."
Li Qian had just revealed that he wanted to ask them to help recommend a few students from the screenwriting department. Chen Kefang's eyes lit up at the time, and he and Lu Lingxi looked at each other. He was also talking about asking Li Qian to push a script, but before he could open his mouth, Li Qian found out by himself.
After Li Qian finished speaking, Chen Kefang asked, "Does your company want to recruit people?"
Li Qian admitted frankly, "Yes, I'm just starting out, and I'm setting up airs. I'm familiar with the photography department, and I'm familiar with the directing department, so I started it myself, but I'm not that familiar with the screenwriting department. Check it out."
Chen Kefang was sure, and asked again: "How many recruits? Are you going to train for a long time, or just give some odd jobs?"
Li Qian looked at Chen Kefang with a smile, and was not surprised by her posture.
Shuntian Film Academy has an honorable status and has always been hailed as a palace-level institution in the domestic film industry. Huaxia Academy of Drama and Shanghai Theater Academy and several other institutions, although their teaching strength is also quite strong and their talents are also outstanding, but they are not as good as they are. Compared with the film school, innate talent and actual strength are far behind.
But status comes down to status. No matter how powerful the Shuntian Film Academy is, students must rely on their own ability to find a job after graduation. The so-called "academic school" has internal groups, and the seniors support the juniors. To a certain extent, there must be caring and bonuses , but that also has to be that you as a junior are worthy of support, so in the final analysis, it still depends on one's ability.
But the problem is that if it is not for the extraordinary talent, or simply has a certain level of masterpieces during school, for most of the crew, as long as there are suitable talents available, who is willing to easily use a fresh graduate? What about fresh graduates?
You think that you have graduated from university and become a teacher, and you are full of knowledge and skills, but in fact, when you really join the crew, you will find that most of what you learn is just theoretical knowledge. If you want to really develop some skills, it is not in school. Four years is enough.
It’s okay for an actor to play tricks if he can’t be the leading role. After a film is shot, there are many actors needed. As long as the actors who graduated from the film school are not so pretentious and willing to start from a small role, they can always get some leftovers. Characters, progressing through experience and waiting for their own opportunities.
But what about screenwriters? Where is the director? What about photography?
A play may need as many as thirty or fifty actors, or as few as ten or twenty actors, but how many actors do screenwriters need? How many directors plus assistant directors and even assistant directors are needed? What about photography? Digital photography has only just begun to become popular these days. In China, film is still the main method of shooting. In fact, film is still the main method in the United States, and digital photography is still a minority. Therefore, film is so expensive, and there are only a few producers. And the director is willing to use it to let students like Fu Xuelong practice like Li Qian?
So the result is, not to mention Suncheon Film Academy, including Huaxia Theater Academy, Shanghai Theater Academy, etc., as long as you are a graduate of the acting department, as long as you don’t pick plays, you can take jobs. In the current domestic, Many students are almost able to earn money to support themselves before they graduate.
However, directors, screenwriters, and photography students often have to be thrown into the market for many years. After honing their perseverance and ability, they can only start to make their mark when the opportunity comes.
Especially in the past two years, the film market has continued to decline, and the industry has always been tense. When making production plans, film and television companies are more cautious, and when building crews, they also try to be in a safe direction. If you do it, there will be fewer opportunities for newcomers in technology.
It is precisely because of this that, as teachers, whether it is Lu Lingxi or Chen Kefang, when they are aware of students' employment problems, they naturally hope to do their best to push students out.
After all, we cannot expect every student to be Lu Ping, let alone Li Qian.
At this time, Li Qian patiently explained to Chen Kefang: "Our company's plan is to produce one or two TV dramas every year in the future. In the long run, we will also invest in one or two movies every year. Therefore, we There needs to be a batch of screenwriters to fill in, so I think of our screenwriting department, after all, those from our film school have solid basic skills, and the standard is not far behind."
After a pause, he continued: "However, when I recruit screenwriters, the requirements are slightly different from those of other companies. I will also encourage them to create their own scripts, requiring them to submit at least one script every year, and they must pass the review to count, but To a greater extent, I still require them to fill in the story according to my outline. As for the number of people, I don’t dare to recruit more at the moment, for fear that I won’t be able to support them. For the time being, only about five people will do.”
Chen Kefang slapped her thigh excitedly when she heard the words, "Five people, no problem!"
Five people, it doesn't sound like a lot, but everyone in the film academy knows that the screenwriting department is called the "department" euphemistically, but it is said that only 27 students were recruited in the year with the largest number of students in history. "Big Year", that is, in the early twenties, catch up with "Small Year", the school believes that the quality of students is not very high, and may even be reduced to about 15 places, like Li Qian and his class of 96, the screenwriting department only has 17 students.
In other words, with Li Qian's opening of his mouth, more than a quarter of the graduates from the screenwriting department were directly taken away!
Li Qian was afraid that Chen Kefang might misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Mr. Chen, don't get excited. Our preset goal is to recruit five people, but it doesn't mean that we have to recruit five! If the standard is high, one or two more is fine, but if the standard It's a little bit close, but it's still...hehe, it's still Ning Que Wu Lan!"
Chen Kefang almost stared at the words, "The students in our college, I taught them by myself, can they be worse?" While speaking, she remembered the script, reached out to take it from Lu Lingxi's hand, and passed it over, "Look, Shi Kuiyong, you from level 96, do you know him? Look at his graduation homework!"
Of course Shi Kuiyong and Li Qian knew each other, and they were fairly familiar.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Qian only flipped through two pages, and then handed the script back with a smile, saying, "I've read this book. Kui Yong just wrote it, and I've read it. It's a good book."
Chen Kefang was stunned when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at Lu Lingxi, both of them were a little surprised.
Because Li Qian acted too calmly.
Look at that means... don't like it?
In Chen Kefang's mind, this is one of the most outstanding students of the 96-level screenwriting department.
Chen Kefang was in a daze for a while, seeing that although Li Qian was smiling, he didn't seem to be moved at all, she was a little surprised for a while, and didn't know how to ask, the relationship between Lu Lingxi and Li Qian was even closer. He took over the topic and asked, "What? Do you think there is something wrong with this book?"
Li Qian had helped Lu Lingxi read the script before, and he commented on it every bit, and he made his official debut with the big hit "Legend of the New White Snake". Li Qian's amazing talent in film and television is shown everywhere, so Lu Lingxi still attaches great importance to Li Qian's opinion-it is said that the reason why the old dean rarely nodded and agreed to Zhou Mo's entry into the school to film the MV is because he I made a deal with Li Qian, and took this opportunity to borrow the storyboard script that Li Qian had drawn for this TV series, and agreed that the Film Academy would make two copies, one for archiving and the other for storage. College library for internal borrowing and study. It can be seen from this that the old dean fully affirmed Li Qian's ability in this area, and even had some praise.
But at this time, Li Qian shook his head, and said seriously: "This book is okay, it is a good book. Find a suitable director to shoot it, and it will be a good movie. I also roughly understand Kui Yong's level. Yes, of course there is nothing to say, but I had a private conversation with Kui Yong once, and I think he is not suitable to join our company."
This time, both Chen Kefang and Lu Lingxi were really surprised.
Shi Kuiyong is the best student in the screenwriting department of the 96th grade. He is definitely a good seedling. As a result, Li Qian doesn't even want him. So what exactly does he want?
But... wait, talked about it?
Chen Kefang frowned slightly, and asked, "Have you talked? Why is he not suitable?"
Li Qian pursed his lips, seemingly hesitating for a moment, before saying: "Because he is a very righteous person, and he is very obsessed with European movies. The most important thing is...he insists on the art of movies, and he is not willing to criticize commercialization." Make the slightest compromise."
Speaking of this, Li Qian pointed to the script on the table, and said: "For example, his script, although it has optimized the plot structure as much as possible, but I believe you can see it at a glance. This script is full of confusion. and the plot is weird. Especially when we were talking about this script, he once described to me the feeling after filming it... In short, he tried to lead the audience through some blurred images to think about something deeper."
Speaking of this, he had a wry smile on his face, and spread his hands: "I admit that from an artistic point of view, this script may be successful, but from a commercial point of view, I'm sure this movie is very popular. Those who are willing to spend money to go to the cinema...especially in this day and age!"
