2677【Thunderstorm】
In summer, Tianjin Film and Television School has added professional subjects.
On the one hand, the development of the film and television industry urgently needs professional talents, such as directors, photography, editing, art, lighting, props, dubbing, etc., which require professional teams to do well.
The reason why most of the quality of mainland film and television dramas is not even comparable to that of Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas is not only that the actors’ acting skills are not outstanding enough, but that the entire team lacks professional qualities.
In terms of production costs of TVB's episodes, it is definitely not as good as mainland dramas. The cost of a mainland drama is enough to make a TVB drama. However, the quality of TVB's episodes is better than most mainland dramas, because of the good cooperation of the team.
Many of the mainland film and television crews are non-professional. For example, 80% of the mainland lighting teachers come from Yan Ling, Nanhe, and most of them are people with low education and do not have much professional knowledge. They just rely on stealing their teachers and experience to make a wild path.
So they don’t know how to adapt to the situation. Adjust the light according to the script, scene, weather, etc. There are often problems when lighting. They are either dark or dark, or they just shine on people’s faces.
It can be said that if mainland dramas want to improve the overall quality, the level of the entire team must be improved, and more professional talents must be needed to do professional things.
On the one hand, if Tianjin Film and Television School wants to generate income, it must also expand its enrollment. However, the actor class cannot recruit any more. After all, no matter how many actors there are, Tianxia Entertainment cannot digest it.
For example, TVB shoots more than 40 movies a year, which is more than most mainland film and television companies. The number of actors required is also large, but there are only seven or eight students signed in the artist training class every year.
The number of dramas filmed by Tianxia Entertainment is not as good as TVB, and it is already the limit to digesting 50 newcomers a year. If there are more, it will be a waste.
Since you can't make any plans in the actor class, you can only add new majors, such as director, photography, editing, art, dubbing, animation and other majors.
...
"However, when adding new majors, you must be cautious, do what you can and tailor your skills to ensure the employment rate of students after graduation. We must be responsible for the students and the reputation of Tianjin Film and Television School. We cannot delay children's life in order to charge more tuition fees and affect the reputation of the entire school." Xia Tian reminded Xie Jin again.
If Tianjin Film and Television School launches fifty directors every year, Tianxia Entertainment will definitely not be able to digest it. At that time, these fifty people will either start with the deputy directors and climb up step by step, or they will have to change careers.
In the summer, there were more than 40 brothers who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, and in the end, only a dozen remained in the film and television industry to develop, and most of the others had already changed careers and did other things. It can be seen that the elimination rate of this major is basically equivalent to unemployment after graduation.
The reason why those students signed up for the director class was that they would definitely be able to take charge of the director after graduation, cooperate with big stars, make box office blockbusters, enter the international market, and become the next Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang.
But in fact, even students who are lucky enough to direct movies after graduation will be ten years later. The average age of Chinese online drama directors is still thirty years old, and the production conditions for film and television dramas are more stringent than online dramas, requiring directors to have richer experience and greater reputation, so the average age is even higher.
Therefore, the director major seems to be glorious, but in fact it is a bumpy road. If you are not responsible for the students and expand enrollment wildly, the students will be unemployed after graduation and delay their precious youth for three years, that is a sin.
When Xie Jin heard this, he nodded.
"Mr. Xia, don't worry, I founded this film and television school not to make money. I will never do anything that delays my child's life," he promised.
"I am naturally confident in you, Director Xie." Xia Tian nodded with a smile.
...
After the symposium was held, Xie Jin then invited Xia Tian to the auditorium.
In order to welcome the arrival of summer and to showcase teaching results, students from three classes will hold a performance for summer.
After coming to the auditorium in summer, I sat down with the teachers.
"Hello, Mr. Xia Tian, Principal Xie Jin and all teachers! Welcome to watch the joint performance of the third class of our Tianjin Film and Television School, the large-scale drama "Thunderstorm"!" The two hosts, one man and one woman, came on stage and said.
When Xia Tian heard this, he took the lead in applauding.
"Thunderstorm" is the masterpiece of Mr. Cao Yu, the most famous playwright in China. It portrays many characters, but there is no leisure corner. Everyone has their own characteristics and is indispensable. It can be regarded as a classic in the history of drama, and it is not inferior to Shakespeare's works.
However, its performance is very difficult, because the information in "Thunderstorm" is very large. The stepmother and the eldest son steal the sun, the brother and sister are incest, the two brothers fall in love with the same woman, but the rebel worker is the boss's own son, and the maid's mother is the boss's old lover...
So many stories, so many information, and so many clues are condensed into three hours, which will be a very big test for the audience. If you have not read the script in advance, you will be confused by the plot every minute and be blinded by waves of plot climaxes.
Therefore, this not only requires the actor to deeply understand the characters and perform them perfectly, but also requires the director to accurately grasp the rhythm of the performance so that the audience can see clearly.
It is precisely because its performance is so difficult that the Yanjing People's Art Theater, which represents the most outstanding performance in Chinese dramas, regards this drama as the treasure of the troupe and has been performed for more than 80 consecutive years.
The students of Tianjin Film and Television School have received performance training for only two and a half years, and at least half a year. Compared with the group of actors of the Yanjing People's Art Theater, it is naturally far behind. However, they dare to challenge "Thunderstorm". This courage alone has already touched Xia Tian.
What's more, if they really acted like nothing, Director Xie Jin wouldn't dare to invite him to come, so it can be seen that the students are indeed of the best.
...
The curtain opened and the good show was staged.
Xia Tian is not unfamiliar with "Thunderstorm". When he was in school, he also rehearsed it with his classmates. He already knows its story, its characters, its themes, etc.
So when he watched it, he focused not on the story, but on the performance of each actor.
To be honest, these actors have a little more immature acting skills. Not to mention that compared with the actors of the Yanjing People's Art Theater, even compared with the students from Xia Tian back then, they are quite inferior.
However, their performance has already surprised Xia Tian.
Because most of these students are only in their teenage years old, their life experience is not rich, their knowledge is limited, their understanding of the role is not that profound, and their time to learn to perform is relatively short, so it is already very good to be able to reach this point.
What surprised Xia Tian even more was that in this drama, he also saw a familiar face in the future mainland entertainment industry.
