Standing on the side of the podium, Professor Scott Fonda pointed to the title on the screen and asked, "Have you all seen his latest film "Transformers"?"
Some students are answering, and some are nodding. Almost all dozens of people here have watched this movie.
"Tell me your opinion." Scott Fonda pointed his finger at the far right of the first row of seats, "It's all right from you."
That was a black girl. She just stood up, and Scott Fonda said again, "Don't use your professional knowledge, just start from your inner feelings, that is, from the perspective of an ordinary audience."
The black girl hesitated and said, "I think Andrew Garfield is handsome."
There was a lot of kind laughter in the classroom.
Then more people stood up.
"I find it very enjoyable, very exciting."
"So-so, not my type."
"The visual effects are simply impeccable."
"Inferior movies full of noise..."
These are Joseph’s words. Carter glanced at him, stood up, and said loudly, "Transformers has been watching for nearly two hours, and it won’t feel boring at all. Duke Rosenberg used realistic 3D special effects. Bringing the audience into another world, "Transformers" makes people believe that technological innovations will indeed change the look and feel of the film. Director Duke Rosenberg’s ambition is as powerful as his imagination. This is not a simple movie. A simple movie, it's like a gold mine, worth digging deeper."
Everyone looked at Carter, which was obviously not his own opinion.
Carter also immediately gave an explanation, "This is a fan message that the instant sharing website forwarded over a million times in June. I believe these people are more representative than our small group, thank you!"
Maintain the idol in your mind. Carter sat down again.
It is impossible for a film or a director to win everyone's likes. The latter view is still both praise and derogation. In the eyes of those who can be generalized to the academic school, derogation is more than praise.
"It seems that many people don't like Duke Rosenberg."
Scott Fonda pointed to the line of letters on the screen, ‘what makes Duke Rosenberg so unique’. "You can dislike him, but you can't deny his style, deny his success! In fact, he is the most you should emulate in Hollywood."
There was a buzzing voice in the class, Scott Fonda pressed his hands down, waited for the voice to dissipate, and then said, "I don't mean to let you follow his path, Duke Rosenberg. The success of the movie can’t be replicated. What I let you learn is Duke Rosenberg’s attitude towards movies and his series of movie skills.”
Those who previously belittled "Transformers" were silent. They had been at the USC Film Academy for several years. How could they not know that Duke Rosenberg’s films and the series of techniques he used had caused Hollywood What kind of impact.
Scott Fonda stood on the side of the podium, his voice loud enough, "You all know the fact that the public likes him, and the art fans disdain him. But in my opinion, neither camp is cautious. His attitude has been evaluated for his films."
He looked at his students. Loudly said, “Nowadays, more and more people in the movie fans and the media are admiring Duke Rosenberg. Even those who don’t like him have to admit one fact: Whether you love him or hate him, Du K is standing in Hollywood, standing in the highest place in Hollywood."
Heard this. Those students who don't like Duke's style also feel a little frustrated. No matter how critics criticize the other party's film for being soulless and without any artistic value, they can't stop the other party from becoming the hottest director in Hollywood.
Such things also make people like them wonder. feel depressed.
Pressing the remote control in his hand, Scott Fonda switched the slides. Those were screenshots of several exploded screens. "Perhaps some of you think that there are countless people shooting commercial films in Hollywood, but Duke Rosenberg It's one of them. Then I want to remind you that those piles of hot action scenes, whether you like them or hate them, are Duke Rosenberg’s most unique way of being. In Hollywood, you can shoot commercial movies. The director says there are hundreds, but Duke Rosenberg is the only one!"
The students are all looking at their mentor, not understanding why he admires a commercial film director so much.
"Any director has his merits, even if that person is Uvi Bauer!"
This name caused many students to laugh. Uvi Bauer is simply synonymous with bad movies. The production of "House of Death", "Dungeon Siege" and "Dungeon Siege" have been criticized and complained by countless people.
Scott Fonda continued, "In the film industry, Duke Rosenberg is definitely a pioneer. He is never afraid to try new lens expressions. His style is clear at a glance. His lens, composition and composition The edits are all explosive, dynamic and unique. Even though the various action scenes and complex elements will numb our audition, his style is indeed unique. It may only take a few seconds to watch his films. , You can realize'Oh, this is Duke Rosenberg's movie'."
He raised his right index finger and shook it at the students, "There are not many directors in the world who do this!"
"I don't know if you are not clear enough, Duke Rosenberg's influence on the visual language of modern Hollywood film lenses is extremely profound."
Scott Fonda pointed to a few screenshots on the projection screen, and asked in succession, "Duke-style action movies are known for their fast and sharp editing. Compared to other directors, such as Paul, who directed the "Bourne Shadow" series Greengrass, what is special about him? Serial car chases and big bangs are by no means original in Hollywood movies. Why is Duke Rosenberg so successful? So much so that movie fans and major Hollywood studios follow him How is it?"
Hearing the question from the instructor, a brown-haired boy in the front row raised his hand, but Professor Scott Fonda didn't mean to let the students answer, but gave the answer himself.
"I have communicated with Jerry Brooksheimer, George Lucas, Charles Rowan, Catherine Kennedy, Steven Spielberg on this, and they have basically the same views."
Raising his voice again, Scott Fonda gave the answer he summed up, "They all think that Duke Rosenberg knows the needs of the film market very well and knows what the audience likes. He has a super powerful instinct. It seems that I am born to know what it takes to make a movie that audiences like, and to present these elements in the ultimate form."
Carter looked at his mentor and nodded unconsciously. When he went to watch the movie, he always knew why he had seen it. Duke's production still surprised him.
"When I was twenty-eight years old, I participated in the premiere of "Brave to Death Island"." Scott Fonda recalled, "If I told Duke Rosenberg before I watched it. I’m looking forward to this movie very much. After I saw it, I thought it could reach eleven points. This is his movie, and he will always make the audience feel that this movie ticket is worth buying."
"He is a master at manipulating film elements, setting, camera movement, color scheduling... all of these are very handy. He is also a master at choosing themes. The theme of the movie allows him to use all his crazy ideas."
Hearing this, as an anti-Duke man, Joseph finally couldn't help it. He raised his right hand.
"This classmate..." Scott Fonda asked him to stand up, "Go ahead, what's your problem."
"Professor..." Joseph said in concise and loud words, "Duke Rosenberg is just one of many traditional Hollywood directors!"
"It's true."
First motioning for him to sit down, Scott Fonda added, "In some respects, Duke Rosenberg has followed the usual Hollywood movies, such as the pursuit of the largest possible scene and assembly line production model."
"But you remember..." He said in a reminding tone, "Do you respect William Wheeler and Cecil Dimili in early Hollywood also belong to this category?"
Seeing many students nodding their heads after thinking, Scott Fonda continued, "The biggest difference is that the audience now has lost interest in ancient Rome and those epic themes in the Bible, and the superheroes adapted from comics Movies are on the rise. In other words, Duke Rosenberg is already a leader in mainstream Hollywood movies!"
Scott Fonda compared Duke with William Wheeler, who produced "The Golden Age," and made some students such as Joseph extremely dissatisfied. If they weren't their mentor standing in front, they even had the urge to raise the table.
Sweeping his eyes from the classroom, Scott Fonda of course saw the dissatisfaction of some students, and he couldn’t help saying, “Think about it, from Bin Xu driving a carriage to Superman who lifts his foot to the sky to come from the universe. Is there really a difference between the huge deformed robots for the audience and Hollywood?"
Is there really a difference? Joseph was stunned, and then he wanted to understand the meaning of these words. For the highly commercialized Hollywood, there is no difference at all...
These are all products that Hollywood uses to make profits!
"Today's Hollywood, Duke Rosenberg is a very special one. More and more people are following his example, but most people cannot reach his level," Scott Fonda witnessed. How Duke-style movies have swept the world over the years, "It must be said that although many people do not admit it, the truth is that Duke Rosenberg’s films will become a benchmark that many people can only look up to."
Not only the USC Film School, but also more and more people studying Duke films in the United States related to film and television production. (To be continued...)
