The content of the first exam was the same as when Xu Wangqiu took the Beijing Film Academy in his previous life, including recitations, sketches, and oral exams. For Xu Wangqiu, who graduated from Beijing Film Academy and had been struggling in the film industry for many years, these are pediatrics. It is no exaggeration to say that with his current level, he is more than enough to teach the Beijing Film Academy teachers of this era.

During the recitation session, Xu Wangqiu recited the index finger's "This is the Peking at 4:08" passionately, causing the examiners present to nod their heads; during the sketch session, Xu Wangqiu and a big boy named Liu Lin performed a two-person sketch, which made the examiners look surprised.

The three examiners felt Xu Wangqiu's extraordinaryness and used him as the key subject during the oral examination. The examiner Zhang Ke stared at Xu Wangqiu and deliberately said in a cold tone: "Xu Wangqiu, you are only sixteen years old and you are too young. Being a director requires experience. You should wait for two years before taking the exam."

Xu Wangqiu thought that the director department will not recruit students in the next few years, and it will take 1985 to re-enroll students. It is Wang Xiaoshuai and Lou Ye’s class. I don’t want to wait for seven years to take the exam. He said angry and shouted: “Teacher, the school does not stipulate that the school cannot take the exam at the age of sixteen, right? The school recruits outstanding talents, and it has nothing to do with age. If I am not outstanding enough and you eliminate me, then I have nothing to say. If I look down on me because of my age, then I will be dissatisfied with ten thousand!"

Zhang Ke had a smile on his face, thinking that this child is quite confident, being a director is very important. If you don’t even believe in yourself, how can you control a huge crew? He asked quietly: “Why do you want to learn movies?”

Xu Wangqiu said: "Just two words, I like it."

Teacher Wu Guoying next to him asked, "Do you know anything about the movie?"

Xu Wangqiu said: "My home is next to Xiumei Film Studio. My brother works at Xiumei Film Studio. I have watched many movies since I was a child, read many movie books, and I also recognized a master at Xiumei Film Studio. I like movies, and I really like them very much. For me, movies are a career worth striving for a lifetime."

Zhang Ke asked: "So, do you have any movies that you particularly like?"

Xu Wangqiu thought about it and chuckled, "I like "Little Soldier Zhang Ga"."

The three examiners all laughed and looked quite mature. I didn’t expect to like "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and he is such a child!

Wu Guoying couldn't help laughing and said, "Why do you like "Little Soldier Zhang Ga"? Do you like the Gazi in it? Are you also a kid in life?"

Xu Wangqiu's mouth raised slightly and said that she liked "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" to lead to this question. She shook her head gently and said, "No, I like "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" mainly because she likes the two long shots inside, and she thinks it is particularly amazing. The first long shot, Gazi entered the square, passed through the crowd, came to grandma, and saw grandma being killed by Japanese devils. This scene uses long shots to show a large and tragic scene. The director hung the camera on a tree to stretch the shot. The camera was close and far away, with close-ups and large scenes. Through wonderful details, it well shows the tragic scene of the Chinese people fighting against Japanese invaders.

Another is a long shot of Luo Jinbao taking Gazi into the district team's resident. They walked to a teahouse, walked around the teahouse, walked into the courtyard, passed through the grape trellis, turned into a small shed, moved a bundle of weeds, walked in, went up the roof, went down the ladder, and finally entered the district team's resident. The entire shot followed the characters from time to time, constantly moving forward, allowing the audience to find that the guerrillas were hidden in the deep courtyard, and used wonderful details to contrast the arduous and extraordinary War of Resistance Against Japan.

These two shots are particularly powerful. I will also shoot such shots in the future and make such movies. Let the audience's eyes move with the camera, follow me into the real world, and feel the reality, cruelty, power and beauty of the world."

The three examiners were stunned by Xu Wangqiu's words, and their hearts were boiling like boiling water. It took several seconds to come back to their senses. They thought that this child was really not simple, and they actually had such an understanding of the long shot!

The long-lens theory originated from Bazan's lens passage theory. In the early 1960s, articles introducing Bazan's theory began to appear in China, but soon the movement broke out and the study of Bazan's theory was interrupted.

Speaking of long shots, there is another joke. Jiang Qing has heard of the trends of long shots in the international film industry. He took it out of context and believed that long shots mean long shots, so he ordered domestic directors to only divide a film into more than 200 shots. Therefore, the filmmakers had to dig into a dull dramatic scene with one shot, which made them particularly collapsed.

Nowadays, very few domestic directors really understand long shots, and many people know a concept. Unexpectedly, the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him had such insights into long shots. It was incredible!

When I took the Beijing Film Academy exam in later generations, people often said that Beijing Film Academy teachers liked blank paper. This is right, but it is not that the teacher hates people who know a lot, nor does it like people who don’t know anything. The teacher just hates people who pretend to understand and go wrong. Students like Xu Wangqiu who really understand movies and can really show off their real information, how can teachers hate them? They are definitely treasures.

Zhang Ke stared at Xu Wangqiu for a few seconds, thinking that this child is really a good seedling, but he did not show any excitement, but his face sank and said slowly: "If you were asked to analyze the content of a movie, what aspects would you analyze it?"

Xu Wangqiu replied: "I will analyze it from five aspects: theme, characters, environment, props, details."

Zhang Ke asked again: "If you ask you to analyze the language of the movie, what aspects will you analyze it?"

Xu Wangqiu said slowly: "I can analyze the scene, shooting angle, lens movement, light, color, montage and long lens, sound, sound and picture relationship, etc.."

Zhang Ke was more convinced of his judgment. This child was not simple, he really understood movies. His face stretched longer, and his cold eyes stabbed Xu Wangqiu like a knife: "What you said is impossible to understand by watching movies. It is not people but monsters who can do this. There is also a lack of books on film theory in China. How could you understand these? Who taught you?"

Xu Wangqiu expected Zhang Ke and the others to have this question, and answered calmly: "Su Zhensheng is my master, and he taught me."

The two examiners next to Zhang Ke suddenly realized when they heard Su Zhensheng. It turned out to be Su Zhensheng's apprentice, no wonder they were so extraordinary.

Su Zhensheng is a well-known figure in the film industry. In the 1930s, he joined the Magic City Star Film Company as an actor, active in the Magic City film industry, and was good friends with superstars such as Zhao Dan and Jin Yan. By the early 1960s, he officially turned to directorship and began to direct films independently.

In 1958, Xiumei Film Studio was established. Since it was a new factory and there was a shortage of talents, in order to adjust the layout of the film production base, the deputy general manager Lu Dingyi proposed to move the Tianma Film Studio in the Magic City to Xichuan. In 1965, the first batch of personnel from the Tianma Film Studio were moved to Xiuchuan, and Su Zhensheng was one of them. However, shortly after Su Zhensheng and his friends arrived in Xichuan, the movement broke out, and Su Zhensheng was quickly locked up in a cowshed, and no works were released again.

Zhang Ke looked at Xu Wangqiu steadily, and after a while, he asked in a trembling voice: "Old Su, your master, is he still alive?"

Xu Wangqiu felt that Zhang Ke should know his master, and thought to himself why he hadn't heard from his master. However, after careful consideration, many people broke the news during the exercise, and they didn't know whether the other party was still alive, so it was not surprising that they didn't mention it. Since he was an acquaintance of his master, there would be a back door to leave in the future. He hurriedly said, "My master is alive and in good health."

Zhang Ke suppressed the tremor in his heart and nodded slightly: "Since you are Su Zhensheng's apprentice, why don't you stay at Xiumei Film Studio to study with him, but instead come to take the Beijing Film Academy exam?"

In this era, film factories strictly follow the tradition of masters and apprentices. When entering the industry, they must first record on the spot, be the final director, and be the deputy director for a few years before they can be promoted to director. It takes at least ten years for ordinary people to climb to the position of director. In fact, many people in film factories stay in the position of associate director for a lifetime and have no chance to direct. The graduates of Beijing Film Academy are different. Most students in the 78th grade get the opportunity to direct shortly after graduation.

Of course, Xu Wangqiu would definitely not say these words. He found a good reason for himself: "My master told me that film techniques are easy to learn, but as a director, it is difficult to cultivate aesthetics and cultivation. The director relies on techniques but aesthetics in the end. Therefore, he hopes that I will read more and learn more and improve my aesthetics and cultivation. The master also said that in the capital, Peking Film Academy can get in touch with the latest art, the best art, and various new artistic concepts, which can broaden my horizons and improve my artistic cultivation. Therefore, Master asked me to take the Beijing Film Academy to take the Beijing Film Academy."

Xu Wangqiu felt that talking about his master's ideas would seem to make him feel dissatisfied and added: "I also think of Beijing Film Academy. I think my understanding of movies is still very shallow. Film is an art, photography, lighting, and art. I lack a lot of things. I must study hard to improve myself and make up for my shortcomings, so that I can become a real good director in the future."

Industry insiders all know that as an art, if you only focus on superficial technology, you can always be second-rate. If you want to reach a higher level, you must have a deep cultural heritage as support.

The three examiners nodded slightly: "This is a good thing, we, Beijing Electronics, should do the same. We should not only cultivate students' techniques, but also cultivate students' aesthetic abilities."

The interview was over. When Xu Wangqiu left the examination room, Zhang Ke said with emotion: "This Xu Wangqiu is only sixteen years old, but his understanding of movies is completely beyond ordinary people. He is a rare talent. Lao Su taught a good apprentice!"

The other two examiners also nodded: "I have taught many students, but this is the first time I have encountered such a student." "This child is really a genius and is also something we really need to discover."

Xu Wangqiu didn’t hear Zhang Ke and the others’ comments. If he heard them, he would definitely say proudly that if you could travel through time, you could be so awesome!

When Wu Zhiliu saw Xu Wangqiu coming out, she immediately asked, "Wangqiu, how about it?"

Xu Wangqiu said lazily: "It feels okay."
