After all, the producer of "Manslaughter" is Huaxin, and Sun Tao and the others can only be regarded as investors, so after the reception, Sun Tao simply instructed Zhang Wutong to give "Manslaughter" good reviews and suppress negative reviews on Douban. There's not much else to do.
For example, if you find the media to publish an article to praise "Manslaughter", it is natural that Huaxin will take the initiative.
On March 7, 2005, Monday, at eight o'clock in the morning, Sun Tao entered the classroom with the bell ringing.
Teacher Wang Weiwei, who was teaching performance theory, glanced at him lightly and turned around, "Today we will talk about Stanislavsky's performance theory.
That's right, Stanislavsky, whom Stephen Chow repeatedly mentioned in "The King of Comedy". His performance theory emphasizes emotional authenticity and interaction with the audience. He believes that performance requires a true experience of emotion and resonance with the audience.
Sun Tao, can you tell me who the two masters we talked about before are? ”
……
Wang Weiwei's move hit the mark. As soon as Sun Tao sat down, people around him immediately came over and started asking questions on the podium regardless of the teacher.
Liu Hao, "Boss, the script of "Manslaughter" is so well written that I couldn't sleep at night after reading it, eh..."
Su Xiwei, "When will you give us the script of Sun Tao's "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"? Will it be as good as "Manslaughter"?"
Judy, "Have you chosen the heroine Sun Tao? Look at whether my dress today is pure enough..."
Wang Xiaoshuai, "Boss, I saw the interview record of your premiere. You were really impressive in your speech!"
"..."
Sun Tao took the opportunity to stand up and replied without hesitation: "We have talked about Richard Bauman's performance theory before: Bauman believes that performance is not only the transmission of verbal content, but also includes the interaction between performance situations and life situations. Emphasis on audience or audience participation and collaboration as an integral part of performance
There is also Judith Butler’s performance theory: Butler emphasizes the performative nature of gender and sexual orientation, believing that gender identity and behavior are ever-changing performances rather than fixed identity expressions. ”
[Wow, Sun Tao is so strong, no wonder what he writes is so awesome. 】
[I didn’t see him paying attention to the lecture. Oh, by the way, he has listened to these things twice. 】
In fact, acting theory is just an elective course. Film schools focus more on practice. Courses such as basic acting training, acting segment training, and multi-act drama acting training are their core courses.
If it were someone else who answered the theoretical knowledge fluently, maybe someone could criticize him and say that he memorized by rote, had high scores and low abilities, but this person is Sun Tao...
Haha, in fact, if Sun Tao can answer the question, it means that he is excellent in both character and learning; if Sun Tao cannot answer the question, it means that he is unique.
In modern society, food is the original sin. Even the farts of successful people smell good. Oh, and if it really stinks, there will be "experts" who will talk about the ten benefits of liberating stinky farts!
Wang Weiwei nodded with satisfaction, "I knew you could answer it, but you are different from others. Just listen to the theoretical stuff and don't be caught up in what the predecessors said..."
The students below looked at each other, what do you mean, does Teacher Wang mean that Sun Tao doesn't need to listen to her lectures? Damn it, awesome, the teacher is afraid that Sun Tao will put forward some new theories that she will not be able to refute...
Sun Tao didn't need to lower his head to feel the hot gaze from around him.
Wang Weiwei babbled for a while and then turned to the topic, "I also went to the premiere of "Manslaughter". It is a rare masterpiece. The only flaw is that the male and female protagonists are too young. A 30-year-old plays a 40-year-old. They Both of them lacked a sense of vicissitudes of life, especially the heroine. She acted a bit too weak as a mother of two children. As the saying goes, a woman is weak but a mother is strong. After she beat Song Cha to death, she looked stronger than herself. My daughter was still nervous and there was something wrong with her mood. I pointed it out to Zhang Yimou on the spot that day.”
Wang Weiwei, 53 years old, was Huang Lei's class teacher before. Strictly speaking, he is Sun Tao's master.
After Wang Weiwei finished speaking, she knocked on the blackboard and said, "Okay, sit down and everyone else should restrain themselves and stop acting like star-struck fans..."
Others thought Wang Weiwei was confused, but in fact Sun Tao fully understood what she meant.
……
11:30, there were still ten minutes left before get out of class ended. Wang waved slightly, "Okay, that's it for today." He put the handout under his arm and turned around to leave the classroom.
"Hey, Xiao Huang, what are you doing here?"
"Hello, Teacher Wang, get out of class is over. I'll call Sun Tao."

One of the important reasons why many large companies have been able to survive for many years is that they do not gamble heavily. For example, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola focused on one track and worked hard, squeezing out all competitors, and finally dominated Coca-Cola. On this track, performance has always been rising steadily, never having major ups and downs.
There is a small reception area on the corner of the fourth floor of the Film School. Needless to say, the conditions of good schools and bad schools are really different. Regardless of how much land is expensive, the Film School would rather not build a dormitory building than be in the school. Build lawns, place many sculptures, and create many high-end reception areas in teaching buildings and dormitories.
When Sun Tao and Huang Lei walked over, two middle-aged men in the reception area were exchanging yin and yang with their eyes wide open. When they saw Sun and Huang approaching, they immediately stood up, with warm faces and pleasant smiles.
Huang Lei, "This is Manager Zhu from Enlight Media, and this is Mr. Lin from Wanda Pictures."
Sun Tao glanced at Huang Lei, confused.
Mr. Lin seemed to have misunderstood what Sun Tao meant, "Director Sun, although our company was just established in January this year, I don't need to say more about Wanda's value."
He stretched out his hand and said, "Wanda Film and Television, Lin Wenwu."
The other person didn't say much, "Enlight Media, Zhu Haitao, we met at the premiere on Saturday, and I even exchanged business cards with the manager of your studio, Li Xiaojun."
Sun Tao waved his hand and asked the two of them to sit down. He turned around and glanced at his teacher Huang Lei again, and said with a smile: "What, am I in trouble?"
In fact, Sun Tao proposed "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" at the beginning of the school year, and it has been almost three weeks now. Not only their class knows about it, but almost all the teachers and students in the directing department, screenwriting class, photography class, props, and sets Everyone knows this, it’s not a secret at all.
The reason why no one has approached Sun Tao is that they still don’t trust his directorial debut.
"Manslaughter" was not released immediately after the premiere. The next day, oh, yesterday, it was a test screening similar to a later screening.
If you have watched 1,000 movies, it is easy to predict whether a movie is good or not and whether it will have a high box office.
With an investment of 5 million and a minimum box office of 30 million, investing in Sun Tao is no longer a gamble. (End of chapter)
