Chapter 4 Comics and Exam Preparation
"The fifth doll is so popular, it should be the most important character in this comic. She has a pair of azure blue apricot eyes, a spiral golden double ponytail hairstyle, and a crimson Victorian costume. She has a noble temperament, a queen-like personality, and likes to command others, and is 61.8 cm tall!" Not long after she came back, Wang Qinian told Hao Yi about the character of the fifth doll is so popular.
Hao Yi is worthy of being a master in art. After reading the sketches Xiaoxiang had drawn before, after thinking for a moment, the exquisite brush quickly drew a sketch on the paper as if it had a soul. Although this painting was already good, it was still a huge gap from the perfect person in Wang Qinian's mind.
"This is not OK. You have not outlined a really hot personality, aloof and queen-like personality. Just imagine, a cold and frosty senior executive is almost not good at communicating with anyone in the company. Although many of her suggestions are good, they are not understood. Faced with the subordinates who provoked her, because of their arrogant personality, they disdain to persuade them, but choose to slap them..." Wang Qinian began to further describe.
"So? I understand a little!" Hao Yi nodded.
At Wang Qinian's request, Hao Yi continued to make changes, which took two hours. When the seventh picture was modified, it was already very close to the true popularity in the original "Rose Girl".
Xiaoxiang snatched the manuscript paper and said with a shiny look: "Kukuku, isn't this the image of this palace? From now on, please call me the true red queen!"
Wang Qinian rolled his eyes and said, "Unless your height is lowered to the 2-headed body, 61.8 cm."
"61.8 cm? Get smaller, get smaller, change…" Xiaoxiang was nervous again, squatting on the head of the bed, hugging herself into a ball, and working hard to "get smaller".
After a while, Xiaoxiang squatted on the bed and said, "Oni Jiang, is Xiaoxiang already 61.8 cm?"
"..." Wang Qinian and Hao Yi looked at each other, and they both felt that this girl was indeed in the late stage of "second-middle school disease".
Next, Wang Qinian and Hao Yi continued to discuss the character design of "Rose Girl". The key to the character design is "cute". Only by grasping the "cute point" can a perfect character design be created.
The cuteness of the dolls in "Rose Girl" lies largely in height. When humans compare the height of the dolls of Rose Girl, various cutenesses are produced. If it weren't for the height difference, "Rose Girl" can only be considered an ordinary work.
Wang Qinian constantly promotes his creativity, what is cute and what is contrasting cute. The basis for the appearance and personality setting of different dolls of Rose Girls.
For example, as a small doll, Zhenhong did not treat the protagonist as the master at the beginning, but as the protagonist as the servant. The protagonist could not stand Zhenhong's bad personality at the beginning, so the two had personality conflicts from the beginning. Even the domineering joke of the small doll Zhenhong slapped the protagonist in the face.
If it is an ordinary human, its personality is very bad. However, the small 61.8-centimeter doll, with a delicate appearance, has a queen-like domineering personality, but is full of personality.
It’s like an adult being beaten up by an arrogant little loli. People don’t think the little loli is violent, but instead think it’s cute.
Other dolls, the black-bellied Cuixing Stone, the kind Cangxing Stone, and the timid, innocent Chibi, and the villain Mercury Lamp, all have their own cute points.
"So, rest assured! "Rose Girl" is definitely a creative work. It's just a little bit to be accepted by a magazine. Our journey should be popular all over the world." Wang Qinian gave Xiaoxiang a grand atmosphere.
"Okay!" Xiaoxiang said with great pride, "When the day when this palace is successful, you must earn Brother Nian**!"
"Get out!" Wang Qinian felt the veins almost burst.
"Brother Qi Nian and Xiao Xiang have a good relationship!" Hao Yi felt that he was doing this by chance, as if he was treated as a light bulb.
At the beginning, Hao Yi was indeed attracted by Xiaoxiang's cute appearance and temperament.
However, with the talent shown by Wang Qinian, Hao Yi's mentality quickly adjusted and his goal was to make friends with Wang Qinian.
...
After finishing Xiaoxiang's comic character, Wang Qinian also spent his energy on the Beijing Film Academy Art Examination. After all, the Beijing Film Academy Art Examination determines his future and destiny.
Wang Qinian didn't know much about the re-examination of the Beijing Film Academy Literature Department. He only knew that he was playing movies and writing essays. It was similar to some primary and secondary schools organizing students to book a movie to watch, and he wrote a reading review after watching it.
Because he did not make a lot of preparation and training like some children from aristocratic families, he was a little confused about the re-examination questions.
Relatively speaking, Hao Yi prepared much more than Wang Qinian, and he also studied the examinations in the literature department.
"It is strictly confidential which movie it is. Even if you know the teachers in the school, you may not know the test questions in advance. However, the motto of Beijing Film Academy is 'respecting teachers and respecting the way, and passing on the torch'. According to the tradition of Beijing Film Academy, there is a high probability that Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige's movies are used as test questions." Hao Yi said kidnapped, "Thinking about questions is not to waste time watching movies randomly, it is better to watch Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige!"
Wang Qinian agreed with this and chose some literary and artistic "Farewell My Concubine", "Red Sorghum", "Big Red Lantern Hanging High", and "Qiu Ju's Sue" with a strong literary and artistic color, and used Xiaoxiang's video recorder to watch it.
If it were some photography and directors, if you had enough time, you would keep playing movies.
The so-called "pulling film" means looking at each frame and rewinding repeatedly, and reinterpreting and studying each shot repeatedly. The content, scene scheduling, mirror usage method, scene type, editing, sound, picture, rhythm, performance, camera position, etc. of each shot are recorded, and then, repeatedly study them thoroughly and understand these movie languages.
The safest way for many new directors to debut is to learn one or several classic works by pulling movies, and imitating them to make their movies more easily recognized by the market.
For example, Ning Hao's famous work "Crazy Stone" in 2006 was bluntly stated that it imitated the famous work "Two Big Smoke Bowls" by British director Guy Ritchie. This movie was repeatedly studied in Ning Hao's school days, and in 2000, he had the idea of imitating this style. Later, he really imitated it and became a hit.
It can be seen that film-pulling research is the most important homework for all film workers in their lives, just like literary lovers studying classic works by literary masters. Choosing a classic work that benefits you for life for film-pulling research may soon lay the foundation for becoming a great director.
The main direction of the Department of Literature is theoretical research or script creation, but if you study film theory in a professional class after admission, then film research is also a compulsory course.
In order to think about the exam, Wang Qinian chose to "Farewell My Concubine", "Red Sorghum", "Big Red Lanterns" and "Qiu Ju Fighting a Lawsuit".
After reading one, close your eyes and rest, or go out for activities to let your eyes rest. In addition, Wang Qinian also wrote some movies and casually wrote some, which was actually a bit of absurd draft.
Although time is limited and it is impossible to do a film-pulling study, Wang Qinian also watched it over and over again, making the plot in the movie seem to be engraved in his mind.
Afterwards, Wang Qinian began to think about how to write an article if the test questions were movies he had watched. If the test questions were not movies he had watched, what should be?
So much so that Wang Qinian has been filled with movies in the past two days. Even when he was sleeping, he was thinking about movie shots and articles in his mind...
