The film that Lin Zixuan thought of was called the two of us.
The story and scenes are not complicated, there are no big scenes, there is no need for a huge crew, it is a low-budget drama film, which mainly relies on the performances of the characters to drive the plot, which is suitable for novice directors to direct.
The only difficulty is that the shooting time is long, and it has to go through the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
This represents a cycle of reincarnation.
In winter, the old lady and the girl met for the first time,-for-tat, contradictions, and their relationship was like a harsh winter.
As they get along, the two enter the spring of understanding and caring for each other, and after getting to know each other, the relationship quickly warms up, which is the hot summer, and finally, parting in the autumn.
The four seasons symbolize life. can integrate the changes in the four seasons of the capital and the changes in the inner feelings of the characters, and this movie can be regarded as a success.
Therefore, you can't shoot this kind of film quickly, but you have to slow down and spend a year polishing it carefully to get the desired effect.
This is an art film, and it needs to be crafted.
Of course, you can also cut corners and focus on filming in winter and spring, making movies, and filming in winter and summer are common, but then there is no natural taste.
Making a movie is easy to think fast and difficult to slow down, which tests the ability and patience of directors and actors. is like the Wang family flavor of Xiangjiang, a movie can be made for several years, and people just work slowly and carefully.
Fortunately, in addition to studying, there is time in the film school, and the so-called crew is also the students of the film school, as long as the two actors are willing to cooperate, filming for more than half a month each season, there is no big problem.
Speaking of filming venues, Lin Zixuan has a courtyard, and some rooms are still empty, it is enough to vacate two houses for filming, as a graduation work, the students of the crew do not need to be paid.
The Beijing Youth Film Studio has shooting equipment, but there are not many places to really spend money.
That is, the money for the film, the salary of the actors, the props needed to decorate the house, the travel expenses and food money during filming, etc., so 300,000 should be enough.
As a producer, Lin Zixuan can't help but think of these problems, which is a professional habit.
When he sees a script, he can basically estimate how much money it will cost.
He went through the film of the two of us in his mind, and felt that it was suitable as Lin Xiaoling's graduation work.
Maybe it's a little more difficult.
The most difficult thing to grasp in this film is the emotional conflict, people go from strangeness to acquaintance, and then to inseparable, and it is not easy to express the subtle feelings on the camera.
Lin Zixuan didn't know how his sister was learning in school, but the short film called Sister was made well.
Lin Xiaoling seems to be good at capturing some subtle emotions, which is a keen sense of touch as a director.
Moreover, there should be teachers in the film academy to guide them, so there is no need for Lin Zixuan to worry about it, the teachers in the film academy are all experts in making art films, and they know how to take care of it.
If Lin Xiaoling can make this film in the next two years, she will be considered a successful graduate.
Having made up his mind, Lin Zixuan told Lin Xiaoling the general story of the two of us, but he wouldn't help his sister too much, that would not be good for her growth.
This is Lin Xiaoling's homework, and she needs to complete it herself.
He just put forward an idea, and then Lin Xiaoling came to complete the story.
How to set up the relationship between the characters, how to create contradictions, how to promote the development of the plot, etc., this is very meticulous work.
Details determine success or failure, especially this kind of film that relies on the details of life to win, if you have no life experience, it is difficult to attract the audience.
This is a story of an old lady in Beijing and a girl from other places, first of all, we must understand the personalities of both parties, Lin Xiaoling lives in Beijing, she knows the character of the old lady in Beijing better.
That is, he has a stubborn temper, a cold face and a warm heart, and speaks unforgivingly.
This is just a general impression, everyone is different, and Lin Xiaoling needs to observe and experience carefully.
Which step she can do and what kind of shooting will depend on her own efforts.
"We have a courtyard house at home, you don't need to find a scene, you can save a lot of money, you write the script yourself, write it and show it to Professor Zheng, let him give his opinions, this film focuses on feelings, and you Professor Zheng are experts in this regard."
Lin Zixuan reminded.
Zheng Dongtian has made many excellent feature films, and is very prestigious among the fourth generation of directors in China.
What Lin Xiaoling has to do is to link theory with practice in the process of filming, accumulate experience, and prepare for her future career as a director.
"I see, it's an interesting story, I'll talk to the group tomorrow."
Lin Xiaoling nodded.
"You and Jia Zhangke's film group," Lin Zixuan asked.
"Yes, we all want to make a film, to shoot the real life of the moment."
Lin Xiaoling responded, "Jia Zhangke, they wrote a few outlines, I think it's too negative. ” The fifth generation of directors likes to reminisce about the past and want to reflect on life from past experiences, while young people like Lin Xiaoling live in the present and want to shoot their own stories.
Lin Zixuan seems to see the changes of the times.
At this time, Zheng Xiulian called them to eat, and Lin Zixuan took Mu Shanshan and walked towards the house.
Zheng Xiulian now lives in the courtyard, and will help them take care of the children in the future, and Mu Shanshan will go out to work after giving birth.

Lin Boqing was reluctant to live at home, and still lived at home, sometimes going to Lin Zixuan to stay here for two days.
Zheng Xiulian ran on both sides, she was sick and retired in the unit, not really sick, but retired early, although she was just over fifty years old, she has not yet reached retirement age, but this situation is very common in this era.
Besides, the salary after retirement is not much less than what I get when I go to work, and I still have a lot of free time.
For Zheng Xiulian, taking care of her grandson is more important than going to work, and the situation in the current state-owned units is not very good.
In this year, the term laid-off began to appear frequently in newspapers, attracting attention from all sides, especially in the heavy industrial cities of Northeast China, where factories were not working and workers were not paid.
As a result, there are laid-off workers.
The factory terminates the labor relationship between the two parties by buying out the length of service, and pushes the workers to the society.
The iron rice bowl that used to be reliable is not reliable now, these people have been in the factory for most of their lives, and now they have to start their lives again.
"Retire early, save time to be laid off, and you won't be able to save face."
Zheng Xiulian looked very open.
This is the truth, many laid-off workers are unwilling to let their families know, and they still pretend to go to work normally every day, but in fact they are wandering around the streets with nothing to do.
It's not easy to start over.
Lin Zixuan knows that this is just the beginning, and there will be more and more laid-off workers in the future, which is the tide of layoffs. t1706231537:
