Hu Mei, the top 18 influential directors, is willing to help ＂individual directors＂ go further.

  Special feature of 1905 film network　The "Top Ten Breakthrough Competition of China Influence" Young Directors’ Short Film Creation Season (hereinafter referred to as "China Influence"), jointly sponsored by Film Channel and Maotai Group, aired the third issue — — Hu Mei team PK match. After three rounds of fierce competition, Xu Lei, Zhang Xinyuan, Zhao Le, Pan Long, Shi Jierui and Dong Cai, who once played the role of "the youngest son" in the Empresses in the Palace, won the last six seats in the "Top 18". Bian Lei and Ai Changjiu’s "Bald Brothers" combination was miserably eliminated. Female directors Miao Xia Wang also lost out, and missed the "husband-and-wife duel" with her husband Tian Bo who had already advanced in the follow-up competition. To watch the live broadcast of the program and participate in the interaction, you can log in to zgyxl.1905.com, the special program of 1905 Movie Network.

"Bald brothers" were eliminated first when they played badly.

In the mentor team of Hu Mei, the only pair of directors, Bian Lei from the 1980s and Ai Changjiu from the 1970s, who joined hands in this Top Ten Breakthrough Competition. Different from other directors who are fighting alone, this combined team, dubbed "Bald Brothers" by netizens, made all examiners feel novel as soon as it appeared on the field. Tutor Hu Mei specially recommended that directing is a very "self-centered" profession, and how two directors with different ages cooperate deserves the attention of the judges.

However, due to the tight time limit of the competition, it is difficult for the two directors to communicate fully, but the result of the competition is not as ideal as their previous expectation of "1+1>2". The two performed poorly in the first two competitions of "light and shadow projection room" and "light and shadow soundtrack room", so they were eliminated in the first round.

Miao Xia Wang’s defeated husband, Tian Bo, sighed "unfortunately" off the court.

In Hu Mei’s mentor team, there is another player who has attracted the attention of netizens — — Female directors Miao Xia Wang, from Suide, Shaanxi Province, is the wife of Tian Bo, the director of the "Top 18" who was successfully promoted in the Feng Xiaoning Team Program. Both husband and wife participated in the competition at the same time, both of them entered the "Top Ten Breakthrough Competition" and belonged to different mentor teams, which made the audience look forward to seeing the two husband and wife directors compete together one day.

In this program, Tian Bo is on the sidelines, watching his wife’s game on the TV screen. When Miao Xia Wang passed the first level, Tian Bo saw that his wife was a little nervous. Second, Miao Xia Wang described her feelings when she heard grand music with the scene of a writer’s "crazy writing". On the sidelines, Tian Bo repeatedly said "pity" because he knew that the writer mentioned by his wife was the way to write "Ordinary World" — — Wang Miaoxia has made eight TV documentaries. However, when she broke through the customs, she didn’t say Lu Yao’s name, which made it difficult for the judges to understand her inner feelings.　

When asked by commentator Jiang Xiaoyu, "Why don’t you learn from’ Bald Brothers’ and form a’ husband and wife file’ to participate in the competition together", Miao Xia Wang said with a smile that when shooting the same film before, the couple often had differences, so it would be better to "he shot his and I shot mine" so as to share and communicate with each other.

In the third level "Light and Shadow Rehearsal Hall", Miao Xia Wang chose the theme, but she asked the actor to interpret a story of "a good-hearted person rescued a female thief and was stolen" in the sketch.

"Directors still have to show guidance in their own works." This kind of story expression makes the examiners not very satisfied. In the end, Miao Xia Wang had no choice but to stop before the 18th National Congress. However, according to the program group, Miao Xia Wang has not left "China Influence" and will participate in the competition in another way. Welcome to pay attention to the follow-up programs of "Top Ten Breakthrough" through the movie channel and 1905 movie network.

Empresses in the Palace’s "Little Guizi" Xu Lei advanced to Zhang Xinyuan and won Shu Nan’s strike table and shouted "Reliable"　

Young directors who can break into the "Top Ten Breakthrough Competition" of China’s influence have their own points of view. For example, Xu Lei, who performed well in this program, is not only a director, but also an actor. He once played the eunuch Xiaoguizi in the hit TV series Empresses in the Palace, Hu Xiaoqi in the TV series Jingdezhen, and Qiao Bin in the TV series County Elder Leaves.

In this issue, Xu Lei interprets the classic segment of "in the heart of the sea" as a story in which a male thief and a female thief steal the same jewel necklace, and finally the male thief chooses to sacrifice himself to protect the female thief. Let the examiner and famous director Zhang Yibai praise "yes" and "being able to jump out of such a dilemma".

Zhang Xinyuan, another beautiful disciple of Hu Mei’s tutor, said emotionally in a short film before she broke through the barrier that she watched it when she was in middle school, so the whole summer vacation was "like a madman", immersed in her own world and full of movie pictures. Later, I was engaged in the film industry, and I was always with the film, regardless of physical and mental exhaustion.

Later, she adapted the fragment into an old man with cancer, decided to hide his illness and spend the last good time with her husband, so she took out her wedding necklace and took a new wedding photo. At the end of the story, Zhang Xinyuan himself was moved, with tears in his eyes and a choked voice, which naturally moved the judges. In the second level "Light and Shadow Music Room", her delicate feeling of music made the examiner and music composer Shu Nan clap the table and shout "Reliable", and the tutor Hu Mei also felt that her grasp of music and the picture described were "very consistent".

The two naturally advanced smoothly.

Shi Jierui’s personality performance was praised by Hu Mei: I would like to help him go further and longer.

In this program, the performance of Shi Jierui, the "personality director", has also been praised by many instructors. Shi Jierui’s short self-introduction film is full of Ning Hao-style black humor. Later, he adapted the clip of "Sorry for Thailand" into a wonderful story about the barber cracking the killer organization during his trip. In the third level, Shi Jierui improvised a spy war sketch called "The Choice of Life" in 15 minutes. However, in the intense rehearsal process, the performance of the extras was too blunt, and a thrilling assassination actually provoked the off-site commentators to laugh. Without violating the rules, Shi Jierui decisively replaced the extras and played the leading role himself, and the performance was quite wonderful. This decision made the examiners full of praise.

Zhang Yibai, a famous director, praised Shi Jierui and said that from this sketch, we can see the director’s passion and enthusiasm, and passion is an indispensable basic quality for a director. Shi Jierui can set the story scene on the edge of life and death, and set the relationship between characters between life and death, which is also related to his passion, because he tries to set a different scene in the competition.

After the game, I recalled my disciple and mentor Hu Mei was also impressed by Shi Jierui. In the pre-competition training, even in the face of the guidance of the tutor, Shi Jierui sometimes "disobeyed", which made Hu Mei a little uncomfortable at first. But when she thinks about it, this is precisely the advantage of Shi Jierui — — Not afraid of authority, can have their own persistence. "Some directors can succeed, and some directors can’t. I think personality is the most important among all the qualities that affect success, because personality is fate. Selecting a young director does not necessarily require more from the technical level and the effect level. We should see that the seed of this director is really a rare personality. But it is also possible that this personality is his trap, which can only be explored by himself. " Hu Mei even said that if Shi Jierui could cooperate with her, she would give him a helping hand and let him go further and longer in personality.

After the broadcast of this program, China’s influential "Top 18" directors have emerged from the players of Tang Jili, Feng Xiaoning and Hu Mei.
