Early in the morning, Jiang Shan sent Guo Zhenni onto the subway, and then he took a bus to the Beijing Film Academy to face the next four Beijing Film Academy exams.

The four exams of the Beijing Film Director Department are collective sketches, which take a whole day to take.

There is still a little difference between the "skirts" we often see on TV.

Sketches, decomposition and interpretation of words ‘small works of art’.

Sketches in broad sense contain a wide variety, and in prose, they can also refer to literary styles with shorter lengths, but skits in narrow sense generally refer to shorter art about speech and performance.

The basic requirement of sketches is to have clear language and natural form, and be able to fully understand and express the character and language characteristics of each character. Among them, "comedy sketches" are the most common.

"Eating Noodles" performed by Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao at the 1984 Spring Festival Gala made the sketch officially an independent form of artistic performance. This action has affected many film and television schools, and they have also made corresponding changes to the selection of their own candidates.

Among them, most colleges and universities use collective sketches as tools for performance department rankings, and eliminated most candidates in the first round.

The general performance department process is to group, draw lots, conceive for five minutes, and then perform directly on stage.

The collective sketches of the Beijing Film Director Department have to be taken all day long, with different purposes and different natural selection methods and processes.

The assessment of the director department this year is much more stringent than in previous years. Perhaps it is related to the quality of students, which leads to only fifty-six art candidates entering the fourth round of interviews in the director major.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the four-test collective sketch of the director department officially began.

The wait and group, and the teacher divided the 56 candidates into seven groups according to the order of the candidates' test numbers. Jiang Shan was divided into six boys and two girls in the group.

Most of the candidates had no impression. Only one boy, Jiang Shan, seemed to have seen him. At that time, he seemed to be in the same group as him during the second round of interviews.

"Since they are brothers and sisters in the same group, let's get to know each other first? My name is Jiangshan, and I am from Mudanjiang." Jiangshan looked around the members of the group, and saw that no one was the first to speak, he was the first to stand up and introduce himself.

After saying that, Jiang Shan looked at them again. The atmosphere in the whole group seemed a little different. Several candidates obviously followed the boy's lead and kept looking at his eyes.

"Hello, my name is Qu Wei." The boy with some impression said to introduce himself, and then the three men and one woman who were left around him introduced himself in turn.

"My name is Kong Jia." The baby-faced girl began to introduce herself first, and the remaining three boys then spoke.

"My name is..."

"My name is..."

There were five people opposite, Jiang Shan and the remaining two looked at each other and couldn't help but frown. Jiang Shan had a faint look in his heart.

Are you planning to join the group from the beginning?

Before Jiang Shan could think about it carefully, the team leader on the stage asked each group to send representatives to select the sketch topics.

"Brother Qu, do you go and smoke?"

The people around Qu Wei carried him out, and the four of them chose him as the representative of the group at the same time.

Jiang Shan and others didn't say much, they just drew lots on behalf of the group, so the few nodded.

"Then I'll go and draw the questions." Qu Wei smiled and walked to the podium with some pride, with a confident expression on his chest.

Because they had already seen that they were forming their own small circle and hugging each other, Jiang Shan and others couldn't help feeling speechless.

Let me put it this way, in addition to testing the candidates' story conception ability, the director-level collective sketches are also testing the collective wisdom of the entire group, how to expand from one word to one sentence to another story, and also assign characters to the right place. This process requires the efforts of the entire team.

At this time, the candidates are not writing stories or telling stories, but performing stories.

Because the presentation method is to act, this story must be implemented, realized and credible.

To be more professional, collective sketch teachers should examine the ability of the 'future directors' to restore "supposed stories".

Why are some movies in later generations scattered and not at all enjoyable? The fundamental reason is that the story script is too thin and too miserable to be implemented on the stage.

Specifically speaking of the lines in a certain plot, the protagonist's behavioral motivations, and the expression of emotions, these are all assessments of the director's skills.

Secondly, the focus of the collective sketch is the organizational ability, coordination ability and communication ability within the group.

How can we coordinate this state of love and killing each other?

As a member of the group, how do you convince others to adopt their own story concepts?

How to assign primary and secondary roles without causing dissatisfaction?

How to make team members obey their own scheduling and realize their intentions?

These are all the basic skills of the director.

At first, Jiang Shan took a cooperative attitude, but the current situation is somewhat beyond his expectations. It seems that he has to fight for the other two team members who are single, and then think of other ways.

After making up his mind, Jiang Shan aimed at the two team members who were alone, and had already had ideas in his mind.

After almost five minutes, Qu Wei returned with a piece of paper in his hand, came to everyone and raised it at everyone, saying, "Performance keywords - in the cemetery."

Seeing the keywords of the collective sketch, Jiang Shan nodded.

Sure enough, every year, the collective sketches of the Film and Television Academy belong to the "never mind the essence" and give a scene so that candidates can find their own position in it, and then further enrich the story.

It was almost ten o'clock in the morning. Jiang Shan and his friends led by two teachers to a small rehearsal room, which would be their next rehearsal.

The purpose of the two teachers is not only for the inspection, but also to assist candidates in completing sketches.

…………………………

The eight people in the group just arrived at the rehearsal room. Qu Wei said confidently, "The teacher from our art exam training school has taken this question. I have also written a small script before and got a review of A. Let me tell you how this story is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man and woman who were alone looked a little unpleasant.

To put it bluntly, the director is a group of people with a strong desire to express themselves.

Regarding the keyword "in the cemetery", everyone in the group obviously has their own different ideas and stories. Qu Wei took the lead in saying this, which will inevitably have a preconceived impact on others.

It was okay for the four people in the same group with him, but after all, Qu Wei was the leader. In addition, he said that his teacher successfully predicted the question, so he naturally felt a little confident in the story Qu Wei was about to tell.

The remaining two were in a dilemma. Should they speak out against each other or choose to be in a sociable way?

Qu Wei looked around and saw that no one was going to speak, so he automatically agreed to agree. He was about to start speaking, and Jiang Shan, who was standing beside him, interjected.

"First of all, I have to make it clear that collective skits are not personal creations. It is best to reserve ten minutes for everyone to not talk. Everyone should conceive their own story. Then let's discuss which one is better and what do you think?"

When Jiang Shan said this, he first looked at the man and woman who were alone.

Encouraged by her, the boy also stood up, "Yes, I think it makes sense."

The girl on the side nodded and followed Jiang Shan to cheer, "That's right, tell your own story first, we will inevitably be influenced by you, which is not conducive to collective creation."

Although there are only eight people in the group, it is obviously divided into two factions, including five people in Qu Wei and one faction, and three people in Jiang Shan who are alone.

Jiang Shan said these words lightly, but Qu Wei blushed as if he was choked by these words, and felt depressed in his chest, as if he had just been slapped in the face.

Because there was a teacher observing their every move, Qu Wei didn't want to make a conflict to lower his impression, so he had to pinch his nose and say in a muffled voice, "Then it's only ten minutes."

Before entering the examination room, everyone put their mobile phones, watches and other electronic products outside. Now there was no way to count the time. Jiang Shan came to the teacher in the rehearsal room and asked, "Teacher, can you please help us count the time? It's enough for ten minutes."

"Okay, no problem." The teacher said as he glanced at his watch, "It's ten:05 now, and it's ten:15 in ten minutes."
Chapter completed!
