Chapter 725 What is a movie

"You're very philosophical. It's not known how long it takes for my parents to calm down."

"Don't worry too much. There will always be times when you figure it out, your ability to bear it will increase. Every bad thing happens always comes with good results." Liu Chen looked at her trance, "Do you have something to ask me for?"

"No... it's okay." Jiang Xiaoqi was nervous, "My mother is very grateful to you and wants to invite you to your house for a meal."

She really doesn't want to be seen by Liu Chen, but who would think her family is poor? She is also worried that a rich man like Liu Chen can't finish a meal at home. I'm afraid he can't imagine that his family lives in a 20-square-meter room. When eating, he put the dining table next to the bed, sat down on the bed, and placed a stool on the other three sides. After dinner, he had to fold it and take it away, otherwise there would be no loopholes in the house.

"Eat? Haha, aunt is so polite, let's do this, why don't you call aunt and uncle to come and have a meal together, and I'll order a table of food to bring it to you." Liu Chen thought for a while and said that there were several people, and he couldn't go to eat alone.

Finally, Liu Chen thought of a way to ask Jiang Xiaoqi and his mother to come for dinner. In the end, Cha Fang came to the courtyard to cook, which was very authentic Jianghai Ben's food.

During a meal, both mother and daughter were relatively silent, and they were inevitably restrained in this environment.

On the way home, Cha Fang remained silent.

Xiaoqi asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Cha Fang sighed and said, "Xiaoqi, the difference between this person is really big. Their children live in such a big place. My mother lives in a palm-sized place all her life. She doesn't even have a bathroom in the house. She huddled with several neighbors to cook, and she's all day long."

"Mom, we will definitely be able to live in a single-family house in the future."

"Silly kid, mom has lived for most of her life, what else do you care about? Mom doesn't want you to repeat her old path. Look at the girls in the yard, they are all dressed beautifully, Jin Dong'er is capable, Zhang Nian is gentle, and even that little girl Xiao Guoping is weird and lives a very uncomfortable life."

"Mom, you have worked hard all these years, so I can grow up happily like any other classmates. You have worked so hard. Now that I am growing up, you can rest at home."

"Silly kid, you are still studying." Cha Fang said with a sad feeling that such a big accident happened and the taxi was scrapped. Fortunately, the insurance could be compensated, and the luxury car would no longer be investigated. The loss was not big, but he also lost his livelihood. Alas, my daughter was only in her first year of college and should have been the most relaxed and happy time, but she had to bear the burden of the family.

Cha Fang would rather work hard than have a psychological burden on her daughter.

"Mom, don't worry about me. Liu Chen promised to help me find a relaxing internship job, enough to support myself and bear the tuition. You have also seen Jin Dong'er. In fact, she is also an employee of Liu Chen."

"Boss Liu is an outstanding and promising child, so outstanding." Cha Fang sighed very much. Just the three beautiful girls around her were better than their daughters. "Since they trust you, they must do the simplest work."

"I know, mom, just rest at home with peace of mind."

Jiang Xiaoqi smiled and said, she was not so relaxed, she was eager to make money.

A few days passed.

Liu Chen's first class was about to begin, and Zhang Nian said: "In one week, Mr. Liu finished the course for our Drama Academy students for half a year."

Xiao Guoping curled his lips and said, "Of course, Brother Liu Chen was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Huizhou last year. How could you compare to your Drama Academy's ignorant students? Do you know calculus? It's hard for you to die."

Liu Chen prepared a course for the first grade of mathematics for the little girl and began to teach her.

Moreover, the Huizhou college entrance examination scores are about to be released this year, and Liu Chen is also looking forward to how the little girl can do the exam.

Zhang Nian accompanied Liu Chen to the vicinity of Teacher Wang Lai's house and reminded him: "Mr. Liu, although Teacher Wang has a weird temper, he is actually a very good person. As long as she accepts you, she will be very good. Come on."

Liu Chen nodded.

When Liu Chen entered, Wang Lai was already sitting there with a serious look on his face, constantly flipping through several books, probably looking up information.

“This course is, what exactly is the movie?”

Obviously, Liu Chen also studied it carefully and said confidently: "Movies were originally considered a plastic art."

"Cannudu, the first film theorist in the history of world cinema, and the Italian poet who settled in Paris, believed that film was a dynamic plastic art in the "Seventh Art Manifesto" published in 1911. In the "Film Production Law" written by Columbia University in the United States, he believed that film was a simple reproduction of painterly actions."

"The main topic of the filmmaker is not only to produce the effect of the eyes, but also to produce the effect of the eyes. Later, in his 1923 "The Beauty of Painting on the Screen" published: I appreciate movies as paintings. It is impossible to appreciate anything except as paintings."

"Well, because it was the era of silent films, movies were generally regarded as a special painting technique." Wang Lai nodded, pointed to his ears, and reminded: "In addition to the art of eyes, movies are at least the art of ears. Since the birth of audio films, movies have become an art of audio-visual combination."

"Anyway, what I want to talk about today is not theoretical film technology." Wang Lai had to interrupt Liu Chen's story. She had always known movies very well and had great dreams when she was young. So when she heard Liu Chen speak his dream, although it sounded very false, she could feel the young man's persistence and was moved.

Wang Lai can be said to be a literary young woman, but she is also a down-to-earth person. In recent years, her perspective on film has become more realistic. Her training of Liu Chen is not only to make him an excellent student in the film academy, but to hope that he can really realize what he said about his dreams, even delusions, so he must talk about movies down-to-earth.

In fact, Liu Chen was not sure which aspects Teacher Wang asked him to prepare. He himself did not like such too theoretical things, but he had to prepare for it. After all, Teacher Wang taught theory in the film school.

Wang Lai continued: "After all, movies are a combination of sensibility and rationality, art, not just art. If you want to truly become a great director, art theory is the most undesirable, then you can only become a director who won the award."

Liu Chen was very surprised when Wang Lai said that.

You should know that the film school is the place where the masters are most admired. The fundamental reason why the school spirit has made the teachers and students in this school proud is that the film theory research level is the best in the world and the most popular actor and director in the eyes of students is not worth asking for an autograph no matter how awesome it is.

Now, Wang Lai, as a teacher who teaches film theory, criticizes the theories proposed by those filmmakers, which is simply unimaginable.

Looking at Liu Chen's expression, Wang Lai knew what he was thinking, and the bombshell continued to be thrown: "Our internationally famous director Zhang Yimou made a movie "Living", which is considered by many critics to be the best movie in China."

Wang Lai said loudly: "I don't think this is such a great movie. I have read the novel "Living". If the adapted movie is not as touching as the novel, then the movie is a failure. I can only say that I have stole a good story. There is nothing outstanding about the language and skills of the movie. Then it is just to express the novel in the form of a movie."

Liu Chen was thinking about her words.

"So you can understand Zhang Yimou's movies. If the story is good, the movie will be good. If the story is messy, in addition to the beautiful and magnificent picture, the movie will also be messy. This kind of director who relies entirely on scripts can only be said to have skillful film language conversion ability." Wang Lai continued, "Movies are made for ordinary audiences, not for professionals to judge awards. The first thing I want to tell you today is not to be superstitious about masters, nor do you follow the crowd. While studying humbly, you must stick to yourself."

Liu Chen didn't know how to respond for a moment. Wang Lai told him that the words were completely different from what he expected. He admired her deeper view of movies. The most rare thing is that she can combine theory with practice, keep pace with the times, and have no rigid dogma.

I completely put away my mentality of delaying the task and seeing Wang Wei, but went to listen carefully to what the movie is.

Wang Lai stared at Liu Chen. This view had already exceeded the expectations she wanted to tell, not only surpassing the scope of the movie, but also elevated to the subversion of the entire traditional film art system.

Wang Lai was shocked by saying these words. She had always been arbitrary in her lectures in the film school. Perhaps it was Liu Chen who ignited the dreams she had and the passion of the past, and involuntarily returned to the era of passionate youth when she was young.

Wang Lai continued in an excited tone: "Art originates from people! Art exists because of people! Art should serve the crowd, art should serve the majority and grassroots people! If art is just a means for niche people to boast and be proud, then film art will surely decline step by step!"

Liu Chen was also in a state of excitement, and slammed the table and said, "Yes, making movies, even the general public can feel the shocking movies. Even if they can't understand them, they are spiritually enlightened. A movie that can guide the audience to think is a good movie, rather than forcibly instill some spiritual chicken soup!"

Wang Lai was also very excited.

Liu Chen was also inspired by his thoughts and said: "Breaking out of the movie itself and using movies as a tool, the film industry involves a wide range of areas, including economy, industry, technology, art, humanities, and politics, which affects the whole body, so it has such a huge social influence."

Wang Lai nodded with relief and said loudly: "You can understand this level yourself, and your understanding is indeed good. Looking forward to the future development trend of films, I think it will be a combination of art and science and technology."

Liu Chen has never looked forward to the future of the movie from such a height. He was really enlightened and murmured, "The combination of art and technology?" and he had never heard of this term. He just felt that this first course benefited a lot, and immediately pricked up his ears and listened to such a novel term.
