When you come to the long-lost theater program, you can’t say it’s a long-lost. If you say it’s a long-lost place, maybe it’s in your heart!

Now that the reputation has entered the school, the first thing that is most necessary is to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, it would be not good to hide it from the school.

"I'm here, Director Lu." Wang Meng came to Director Lu's office.

This is a very important guide in his life. He has not looked old for several years. Now, he looks a little radiant.

"Come on, do it." Director Lu was still as calm as flowing.

Perhaps one of the few people who don’t regard Wang Meng as a star is one of them.

"Hey, time is so fast. You are about to graduate in a blink of an eye. Haha... You are quite undedicated! Haha..." Director Lu smiled.

"You are always indulging, you can't blame me." Wang Meng said with a smile.

Here, Wang Meng's current appearance would be incredible if the reporter didn't see it.

It actually feels like a child-like "cocking" feeling.

"Okay, I'm going to ask you for something." Director Lu waved his hand.

"You said?"

"That's right, you're going to graduate in a blink of an eye. Maybe it's the most famous graduate since the founding of our school, which is unprecedented! I want to ask about your graduation works?" Director Lu said to Wang Meng, who was a little stunned.

"Uh...this?" Wang Meng was confused.

"I'm not prepared." I had to tell the truth.

"I'm also blamed me. I didn't tell you in advance. Some time ago, you filmed "The Matrix" and participated in the Olympics, and even wrote novels, so you were very busy." Director Lu didn't mind.

"What should I do?" Wang Meng asked.

"You ask me?" Director Lu smiled, "What about you? Where is your work?"

"Uh" Wang Meng paused, embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly: "Do you think this is good? My "The Matrix" is about to be done in October. How about treating this as a graduation work?"

"no!"

Director Lu's words felt a bit arbitrary, and without thinking, he said directly: No.

"It's not that I'm strict with you, but that I have to be strict with your current identity. To be honest, after judging by your development over the past few years, I'm relieved. Even you are better than me? Really?"

Then he sighed, "Maybe, the only thing I am not satisfied with is that your business temperament is too strong. I admit that I am a bad old man with prejudice and ideas. I admit that I want to see something special and I really want you to meet my requirements."

Finally, Director Lu said again: "Of course, if you think I'm making things difficult for you, just pretend I didn't say it."

"Hey!" Wang Meng laughed when she heard this, and the old man began to provoke him.

Naturally, I also know that it is precisely because of the deep love and the deep responsibility that I have high requirements for Wang Meng.

This is not a dilemma, perhaps it is an alternative sustenance of pride.

Perhaps? Lao Lu put all his pride on Wang Meng.

This is explained on the market.

Before Wang Meng was reborn, Lao Lu was very optimistic about this student who loved art.

Later, there was a crew that arranged for Wang Meng to join Liangshan.

There was also Wang Meng's later "This Man from Earth".

The opinions on the market are all about that - Director Lu is wise and knowledgeable about Shi Yingcai, which led to Wang Meng's rise of miracle.

Sometimes it is difficult to understand the older generation and older filmmakers’ persistence in art.

Take Wang Meng as an example. At first, he looked down on the traditional art director and felt that he should be completely abandoned like a woman's foot binding cloth.

Now I understand a little bit about the older filmmakers’ ideas.

Perhaps what they want to keep is a "truth".

"Do you have no idea?" Director Lu asked when he saw Wang Meng pondering.

After hearing this, Wang Meng laughed: "Don't say it, there is really."

Wang Meng was called by Director Lu, but Wang Meng also brought a script and an art movie.

That is "The True Story of A Niu".

Perhaps, it is always more difficult to do than to think. When Wang Meng really started writing a detailed outline, considering dialogue, and handling of the camera, he realized that artistic films are not as simple as imagined.

Especially the original version of "The Legend of A Niu" has changed a time and space. This is not Midi, but China.

It is not easy to combine the special invitations and events of China, and it is also very exciting to arrange them.

The age can speak, and the age can communicate.

With chaos and dialogue out of thin air, you will never be able to write about the vicissitudes of the times, but only the sense of incongruity.

In this time and space, in the 1970s, Taizu resolutely abdicated, which was a sensational nature, and the contradictions and events brought about were not inferior to the original version.

But Wang Meng didn't know much, and it can be said that she had never experienced it. Some are just records of books that have been accumulated in history. It is difficult to describe such an atmosphere.

As an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes, Director Lu has experienced it.

I guess? His understanding is not something that Wang Meng can have.

Of course, you can take pictures even if you want to, and some people still like it.

However, thinking out of thin air will never become a real thing. After missing this important sense of age, Wang Meng personally believes that this will be a failed movie. It is not what he wants.

Therefore, with an attitude of asking for advice, Wang Meng brought the script, hoping to give this old man a sense of vicissitudes of the times.

This sense of vicissitudes does not require acting skills, but requires the director to use the camera to describe it, like a pen in the hands of a painter.

"This is my first artistic film in the sense of the word. After thinking about it for a long time, I can't find a sense of vicissitudes of the times. But what I found from the book has no sense of integration. To be honest, it's a bit difficult. Take a look and give it to Director Lu." Wang Meng took out "The Legend of A Niu" and handed it over to Director Lu.

"Oh!" Director Lu was stunned and took the script and saw it: ""The Legend of A Niu"? Isn't this your novel? I'm pretty good at it."

After saying that, he started to read without waiting for Wang Meng's words.

Wang Meng, who was about to speak, just turned back.

About half an hour later, Wang Meng finally waited for Director Lu, and Old Lu felt relieved after seeing it.

"The script is very ordinary, the story is very simple." Director Lu said.

"Yes." Wang Meng did not deny it.

Forrest Gump is not because of the excellent script, but because the actors' acting skills and the director's artistic understanding have made the movie successful.

This movie is very plain, but the great thing is to understand the true meaning from the plainness, which is the story of Forrest Gump.

Or, the greatness of art film.

"The name of miracle is you, and the name of genius is also you. But such a script does not seem to be yours, because it is very ordinary. And it is different from your novel?" Director Lu smiled and said, "Can you tell me why?"

"I used to like to tell stories with plots and actors. Now I want to tell stories with cameras. I can use words to hit the soul of novels, but I think I am not enough to hit the soul with cameras. So scripts are different from novels."

"good!"

After hearing Wang Meng's words, Lao Lu couldn't help but applaud.

"It's not easy, it's not easy, you always surprise me. I want to make you a little more artistic, but you actually want to create a classic?" Director Lu Lao Huai was like this.

"Do you know why art movies can be called classics? Do you know why it is easy for art directors to switch to business, but difficult for commercial directors to switch to art? Do you know why movies are called art because of what they are called art?" Director Lu seemed a little excited.

"A literary and artistic movies are made every year, but they have not become classics, and even one will appear in a few years or more. It is not that the director is stupid, but that it is indeed very difficult.

An art director may not be easy to change his career in business, but it is always easier to learn. But it is not easy to change his business to art. In fact, a director can only have a real art-themed movie in his life, which is his lifelong insight.

Movies are called art because movies are life..."

Lao Lu told Wang Meng a lot, and Wang Meng learned well in terms of technology, and was even unique in China.

Wang Meng has a lot of experience in using technology.

But Wang Meng is insignificant when using the lens and his superb skills in speaking with the lens.

Forrest Gump is the monologue between the camera and the director. Unlike novels, it is different from the description of words. It is much more difficult to speak in the camera than words.

Forrest Gump uses memories to extend the story, while the director uses lenses and insights to present the texture.

It’s not that scripts, sets, etc. are not important? It’s not that important here.

Just like the lines, maybe what we remember is that my mother said...

But the perception is from all aspects.

Wang Meng can feel a lot from the simple Forrest Gump sitting on a chair waiting for the car, and the feathers floating in.

So?——The shouts of Forrest Gump and Captain Dan during the storm are also insights.

Just as Jenny said to Forrest Gump - Gan, run quickly. This is just a full sense.

We can get a lot of insights from different lenses and pictures, plus language dialogue.

Therefore, these insights cannot be presented by simple arrangements, lines, scripts, and shots.

It is a comprehensive insight, not inconsistent.

This is the presentation of art and the ability of directors.
