321. "Sunspot" and "Conquest"(2/4)
"My brother is really a genius~~~"
While chatting, dinner was prepared.
Finally, in this hot summer, Lianghai Bowl of cold noodle fish completely brought Xu Xin back to his senses.
After dinner, he walked into the screening room, looked at the video file of the "The Voice" blind audition scene on his computer, and double-clicked it to open it.
After confirming that Yang Mi would not come over, she happily turned on the air purifier, lit a cigarette, and narrowed her eyes happily while watching the title of "The Voice".
…
"Teacher Lu, hello, hello."
In the teahouse, Xu Xin looked at the three people who walked in through the door. He was stunned for a moment before standing up to greet them.
The visitor was a middle-aged man who walked in with a young man and woman behind him.
"Ha ha."
Looking at Xu Xin getting up, although it was the first time they met, because they had communicated on the phone in advance, the two of them didn't feel so alienated.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hello, Director Xu."
"No, no, no, no."
Xu Xin quickly shook his head.
"You are a teacher and I am a student. Just call me Xiao Xu."
It's not like he's being modest or anything.
But this is really a teacher.
Liang Binning gave him detailed information. Although Beijing Film Academy and China Theater Company have been competing for many years, in terms of the position of teacher, Xu Xin, who has not yet obtained a diploma, and the person in front of him from the Film and Television Department of China Theater Company
When compared to the department head, it is normal to call him "teacher".
But after hearing this, Lu Haibo smiled and shook his head:
"It's different. From a working relationship point of view, it would be more appropriate to call me Director Xu. Okay, it's just a title, don't worry about it so much."
This was said openly.
Xu Xin suddenly felt a little better.
Then Lu Haibo turned away:
"My son, Lu Yang, graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 2007 and is currently a director."
"Well."
Xu Xin was stunned.
Or a senior?
And Lu Yang had already politely extended his hand:
"Hello, Director Xu. My name is Lu Yang. This is my girlfriend Chen Shu. Please don't mind if I take the liberty of visiting."
With this introduction, Xu Xin could more or less guess why Lu Haibo brought his son.
In fact, he estimated that the director named Lu Yang and his girlfriend, the girl named Chen Shu, should get married soon... or at least have reached the stage of discussing marriage.
Otherwise, if they were just girlfriends, there would be no reason why they would suddenly meet as girlfriends on such occasions.
but……
Wouldn't it be better to call your fiancee at this time?
He was thinking about some things in his mind, but he was not slow to speak.
"Director Lu, hello. Director Chen, hello."
Never mind who is the director, screenwriter or what you do.
It's always right to call a director.
Although as a director, he can't hear others referring to him as "director". But he has to admit that this is a very suitable way of calling him in this circle.
Then, the four of them sat down.
Lu Haibo smiled and said:
"This time I brought my two children here because I actually wanted to get to know Director Xu. A few days ago, I heard that Director Xu was also recruiting a screenwriter team. When Bingbing told me, I also felt that this would be a good way for them to improve their abilities.
I brought him over as soon as I got an opportunity. It's a bit presumptuous, I hope Director Xu doesn't mind."
"No way."
Xu Xin smiled and shook his head:
"Teacher Lu, that's too polite. Although I'm here to invite you, the Buddha, I'm very happy to get to know Director Lu and Director Chen."
After distinguishing the three people by their titles of director and teacher, he turned to look at the slightly reserved Lu Yang and Chen Shu:
"Let's leave a phone number later and keep in touch."
"Okay, Director Xu."
Lu Yang smiled and nodded.
…
In fact, Lu Haibo's meaning is quite simple.
The main purpose of his coming today is to pave a way for his son.
As for the application as a literary consultant, he had no intention of rejecting it. He also showed his sincerity.
After chatting for a while about creative ideas and exchanging directorial ideas, he took out a book from his bag.
Book title: "Sunspot" (Note 1)
"Director Xu, I think this book is good. It is one of the few stories I have read recently that can be described through words and feel the struggle of human nature in it. The main idea of the story is somewhat similar to "Crime and Punishment", but it is closer
The portrayal of Yu Qunxiang mainly tells the story of three men and an abandoned girl. It is very profound and I think it is very good. The publishing house is Modu Literature and Art, where I have an old classmate. After reading the story
I asked, and the copyright is still in the hands of the author, Xu Yigua."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Xu Xin took the book.
"You may have read hundreds of stories about murder.
But there was never a single confession of guilt.
So long, so fragmented, so hopeless, so sad." --- "Sunspot"
Seeing the writing on the cover, Xu Xin raised his head and asked:
"It's about a murder case?"
"No."
Lu Haibo shook his head:
"The murder process is quite concise. There are no secrets from the audience's perspective. The reason why I say it is very good-looking is also the reason why I think it is great. It does not set up any suspense or anything like that, but in the murder case
After the incident, it tells the story of the inner struggle and suffering that the three people faced all the time during their escape life.
In this book, everyone has redemption, but all redemption is based on a deep understanding of the bottom line of the law deep in their hearts. Therefore, although it seems that they have been redeemed, there is always a perfunctory feeling that is trying to cover up.
feel.
The story line and storytelling are great.
Everywhere is revealed the paleness and powerlessness, as well as that... feeling hidden under the struggle of wanting to repent but not being able to.
After watching Director Xu's "The Wind", I found that Director Xu is very good at group portrait scenes. And in various shooting ideas, he also likes to use the form of blank space to allow the audience to delve into the inner world of the characters and the story. Of course, I am referring to
Putting aside the premise that many people are paying attention to Director Xu now on the light and shadow effects created by the movie "The Wind"...
Therefore, I think this book is very suitable for Director Xu.”
These words made Xu Xin frown.
It's not that I don't like it, but I'm a little curious.
The job of a literary consultant is actually just such a job.
It's not a full-time job, but a part-time job.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it’s like a book club.
Everyone introduces it through their own preferences and tastes, and shares some books with everyone.
That's the job of a literary consultant.
But you can’t just introduce it without saying anything. After all, every director has a different style and a different perspective on things. It’s best to express your own understanding and a suitable entry point.
Lu Haibo is obviously very professional.
It makes sense to think about it, how could the head of the Film and Television Drama Department of China National Theater know nothing?
