Chapter 354 Lin He, he thinks he is the protagonist

The screen turns.

Use yellowish tones to express this is a memory, a scene from the past.

On the big playground, the students were all in darkness, and the crowd was a little boisterous.

Noisy and talkative.

On the rostrum, Jiang Youxi played and sang by herself. The teachers were in a hurry. The principal took the microphone angrily and said, "Student, hurry down and don't make trouble."

The protagonist played by Jiang Youxi grabbed the microphone and said, "I'm not making trouble, I'm creating a beautiful high school memory. In this way, you can tell the people around you that you used to be high school classmates with the music godfather of Dahuaguo, while music The godfather played and sang a special song for you at the opening ceremony. Isn't that a very interesting memory?"

Of course, he was soon pulled off the podium by the teachers.

After only watching it for 1 minute, Yang Liqi was already attracted.

How should I put it, there is no dazzle at the beginning of this movie, just a very plain explanation.

But through the use of the camera lens and a few key dialogues, in one minute, the image of the protagonist has been portrayed very clearly.

And it's hopeful.

On the first day of the opening ceremony, this young man who made a wild claim to be the "future godfather of music", this young man who is determined to make a living from music, and this fool in the eyes of others, how will he slap the faces of those who look down on him?

Yang Liqi felt that no one should doubt whether he could do it.

Because the tune he hummed was not complete, but the melody was great.

From this point of view, ordinary viewers will also feel that this young man is a little crazy, a little unworldly, and a little off-line.

But he is really powerful, it's just that others don't understand it.

The audience who stood in the perspective of God naturally chose to stand on the side of the teenager, ready to give the whole world a middle finger.

Or in other words: the sense of substitution is already there.

...

"I already have a sense of substitution." The famous film critic "Li Sanming" touched his chin, which had grown densely with stubble, and said to himself.

As a famous film critic, he certainly doesn't watch every movie.

But when you get paid, you have to work. Of course, the industry knows that he never just sucks money.

If he hates a movie, give him 100,000 and he won't write a movie review compliment.

Unless you give 1 million.

And Hemingway's "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers", he has also seen it.

Everyone in the circle has a consensus, this short film is old.

It only took 10 minutes to tell a very short story, but it could deeply move the audience.

Although a large part of the factor is that the script is good and the intention is high.

But it can also be seen that the director's technique is very solid.

There are really not many directors with such skill.

And, this short film isn't just well scripted.

These professional film critics can naturally see a lot of things from it.

Well, although limited by subject matter, space, and funding, "Deep Hundred Flowers" doesn't have much to show off.

But in the ordinary, it can be seen that the director's "internal strength" is good, and the foundation is well laid.

So it can be said that it is difficult to judge Hemingway's upper limit as a director based on "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers" alone.

But what is certain is that Hemingway's lower limit is not low.

Therefore, in the circle, many film critics are very interested in "Those Years".

They are not interested in what story "Those Years" will tell, but want to use the longer and more invested "Those Years" to judge how many points Hemingway's directing skills can score and where the upper limit is.

Moreover, "The Depths of a Hundred Flowers" is not commercial after all.

"Those Years" is a commercial film.

It's a pay-per-view.

The narrative routines and styles of commercial films are very different from literary films.

If Li Sanming simply said, literary and artistic films are meant to lead the audience to experience, feel, realize, and think.

And what about commercial films? It is to use sensory stimulation to make the audience either laugh, or nervous, or cool, cool, cool to the end.

Judging from the first minute, Li Sanming felt that the beginning of the film was a success.

The sense of substitution is an important factor for the audience to sit and watch a movie obediently.

With a sense of substitution, the pain and joy of the protagonist will be shared, and the protagonist will feel nervous and immersed in the plot.

In the first minute of "Those Years", the character creation was very successful. A few short shots and a few lines of dialogue made the protagonist's character distinct - although it was not three-dimensional, it was already very recognizable and sufficient. Attractive.

Because the image shown by the protagonist is very representative.

Not that the protagonist likes to play music.

Rather, for example, "I thought my image in the eyes of others was like this", "But in fact, my image in the eyes of others was like this."

As an adult, when I hear such words, I will definitely remember my feelings when I was a teenager, and I will smile knowingly.

And young people will also have sympathy.

Because this is what almost every teenager experiences, the conflict between self-perception and others' perception of themselves.

Also, the protagonist loves music and has seemingly arrogant dreams.

Although, the performance is a bit exaggerated.

But film is an exaggeration of art.

To be honest, people are not arrogant to young people.

Who did not have unrealistic dreams when they were young?

Who was not mocked or misunderstood when he was young?

Hemingway found these most common things, so that the audience can quickly feel a sense of substitution.

At the same time, some of the words in the dialogue are also very interesting, not rigid, but full of life.

The camera turns to the present moment, and the protagonist played by Jiang Youxi is among dozens or hundreds of students.

Then the screen freezes.

In this picture, some people are riding bicycles, some are sitting on the back seat of their father's motorcycle, some students are walking, some boys and girls are holding hands secretly.

All beings.

A subtitle appeared above Jiang Youxi's head: Lin He, thinks he is the protagonist.

This subtitle is obviously handwritten, like the handwriting of an ordinary high school student. It is not very good, but it is very unrestrained.

It gives the impression that this is the character written by the protagonist himself.

Li Sanming couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth again.

Then the picture continues to flow.

In the following, Hemingway continued to use a concise and lively method, with only a few shots and voiceovers, he vividly introduced the four friends of the male protagonist.

Male Match 1, a fat man who likes comics, his grades are poor, he is often humiliated, and his family does not support him in drawing comics, but he never gives up his dream.

Male Match 2, a master of video games, likes to brag, has average grades, is very observant, and can be a man.

Male match 3, the grades are always among the best, a little nerdy, and the teachers and parents love it. But in private, he also skips classes and smokes secretly.

Male Match 4, I know many bad students, even bad gangs outside the school. They are grumpy and rude, but they are loyal.

"We don't actually have anything in common. We just became friends. Well, it's not that we don't have anything in common. At least, we both like the same girl."

At this time, the picture returned to the scene where the two girls were chatting before, and it was frozen.

Then the camera zoomed in, so that the fresh and refined girl who looked like a little fairy took up almost all the pictures.

Li Sanming secretly praised: This shot is so beautiful! And the beauty of this heroine has also stood the test.

It is so magnified to see that there is no flaw at all, and it is as beautiful as a fairy who fell from the sky to the world.

Then a subtitle appeared next to it, still in handwritten font: Wen Xinran.

Then the three words were taken away by an invisible hand (special effects) and replaced with other handwritten words: The girl we chased together.

A directional arrow is also drawn.

Immediately after, the words "those years" fell from above, before "we".

So here comes the full title: The girl we chased together in those years.

Li Sanming nodded: This method is quite novel.

Then there are some pictures of school life as a transition, and the list of producers and creators appears on the screen.

After the first few minutes of preparation, the rhythm slowed down a little at this time, so that the audience realized that the next thing was about to get to the point.

Li Sanming felt that until now, this movie can firmly attract him.

And keep watching with anticipation.

And my own taste is actually quite picky. After all, as a film critic, I have watched too many movies, and my appreciation ability is higher than that of ordinary audiences.

Even if he was attracted, it is conceivable that ordinary audiences should also be attracted.

Now, Li Sanming just wants to put aside his status as a "film critic" and enjoy the film first.

When you wait for the second brush, let's observe the details and write a movie review.

The next episode is going fast.

After all, it is only a 53-minute micro-movie, and it is impossible to narrate it as slowly as Wong Kar-wai.

When Du Caige was filming and editing, he would not consider any correct nonsense such as "every shot should have a charm and meaning".

What he considered was "to tell the story as completely as possible with the shortest possible shot".

that's it.

After a brief introduction to important people in less than 3 minutes at the beginning, the protagonist Lin He finally came to the school on a bicycle.

On this day, the head teacher adjusted the seats of the whole class.

Because they are all high school students and are in the developmental period, some students have grown by more than ten centimeters in one semester.

In addition, the head teacher also noticed that there seemed to be signs of puppy love among some students, and it was natural to dismantle such a situation.

Yes, Yonghui Middle School, where Lin He is located, has the same table for men and women.

In the process of changing seats, the whole class lined up outside the classroom to stand according to their heights, and then each time a group of girls entered, and then a group of boys entered.

This ensures that men and women are at the same table.

Of course, due to the difference in the number of men and women, there are slightly more boys, so there are a few unlucky boys at the same table who are just as unlucky as them.

Coincidentally.

When the seats were reassigned this time, the expressionless but dark-hearted protagonist Lin He naturally became the same table with the girl he had a crush on, the school flower Wen Xinran.

A youthful story has officially begun.

Li Sanming suffered another occupational disease, and said softly, "The conflict has come to the fore."
