The story outline of a talking kite

Talking Kite is another children's film with Jiangxi flavor directed by Zhou Yong after Litchi is Red. The film is about a group of lively and lovely rural children who love learning and admire science. They use their own talking kites to publicize science and oppose rural ignorance and bad habits. This film is light and interesting, full of childlike interest. Although this small production didn't get a high box office, it received a good social response.

The story takes place in Yuetu Village near Fairy Lake in western Guangdong, where a group of lively and lovely children live: Wei Siqi, Bend Bean, Lele, Tang Guo and Coco. They love learning and admire science. One day, on the way to school, Siqi's urine hit a piece of wood with a strange image engraved on it. This piece of wood was regarded as the "spiritual emperor" by the village wizard Tang, so this piece of wood became a god worshipped by ignorant villagers overnight. After consulting with some friends, Siqi decided to expose Don's practical joke. So, they cleverly made a scene in the land temple, flogging the urine and hitting the wood when everyone sacrificed, so as to convince the villagers that wood is wood, not god. This angered Tang, so Tang tried to drive them out of the village, which triggered a series of interesting chase scenes. ...

Not satisfied with the villagers' incense money for offering sacrifices to the gods, Tang started a commercial activity of donating money to build a temple, in an attempt to extract more hard-earned money from the villagers. Just as the villagers were confused by Tang, they knelt on the ground and donated money to repair the temple with red envelopes, a kite floated in the sky. This kite warns the villagers: "Dear villagers, please note that everything we give is natural. There is no soil, no moisture, no sunshine and no air. It turned out that Enqi and his classmates skillfully applied scientific principles, tied miniature tape recorders to kites and put them in mid-air to publicize scientific principles. As a result, the donation to build the temple was blocked, and Tang played a new trick. When Tang led the people to worship the spirit emperor and called for the surrender of the "dragon", Siqi exposed the truth of termites in public ... Tang became angry from embarrassment and extended an evil hand to him in a dark night for a month ... and was finally brought to justice. In the face of a series of facts, the villagers finally realized that if they want to get rid of poverty and become rich, they should not be superstitious, but believe in science and take the road of scientific development. To the crew

The State Council and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put forward an important decision to strengthen the ideological and moral construction of minors, and the whole country is advocating Scientific Outlook on Development. It is a very good opportunity for us to shoot this film with the theme of promoting the scientific spirit, and it is also our practical action to implement the No.8 Document of the Central Committee.

Our film is a children's film that interprets the growth experience of southern primary school students, pursues a true, natural and simple style, and highlights the rural artistic conception and regional characteristics.

Children's films should be easy to understand, not too heavy, so I hope to make this film a relaxed and lively film with ups and downs and vivid characters, and strive to achieve the harmony and unity of plot, interest and situation.

The film is set in a picturesque mountain village with green mountains and green waters. The purpose is to enhance the aesthetic feeling and texture of the film, and also to better publicize the local natural scenery and customs. For this reason, the main creative staff of the crew traveled all over the country and spent a lot of time and energy, which I think is necessary.

Although this is a low-cost film, we should not ignore it because of its low cost. You know, we are producing spiritual food for our children! This is a children's play. Everyone knows that children's movies are not easy to make. The main actors are children, all of whom are making movies for the first time. It's hard, but we can't just muddle along and complain about it. I hope everyone must have enough patience and confidence to play this play well.

Dozens of people from our crew come from all directions, so it is not easy to get together. I hope everyone can help each other, understand and support each other, and cherish this rare opportunity. The film crew is a big family, a production unit and a school. I hope everyone grows up and matures. All the crew members want Qi Xin to work together, cheer up and make a good film.

For the photographer

The positioning of this film is a landscape feature film, which makes the film full of bright, lively and aesthetic style.

Based on reality, we use two-level lenses, namely panorama, distant view and close-up, and close-up. The appearance is light, and the natural scenery and cultural landscape such as green hills, lakes, ancient houses, small bridges, flowing water and pastoral areas are full of poetry and painting; Close-up focuses on depicting the characters' hearts. The picture should be as subtle as possible, and the tone should be harmonious and natural.

There should also be many empty shots in the film, on the one hand, it can highlight the regionality, on the other hand, it can be combined with the characters and plots in the film, and the scene is intentionally harmonious.

The film is full of nature and simplicity, close to life, real and lovely, so that the audience can feel the vibrant and pure pastoral artistic conception in the flowing picture.

For artists.

"People have different looks and different environments", and different roles have different personalities and characteristics.

The scene doesn't have to be gorgeous, but it must meet the requirements of the story and the film, and meet the prescribed scenes.

You have to dress up as anyone, but if you are a rural student, you can't dress up as a city man.

Water towns should have the characteristics of water towns, have a sense of reality, and have the natural beauty of water towns and the simple beauty of rural areas.

To the sound engineer

True, clear and natural; Not afraid of mountains and waters, collect infectious environmental sounds extensively; There is a breath of life.

To the composer

Children's movie music should not be too depressing and heavy, and the theme song should be relaxed and lively, full of childlike interest and high-spirited; Emotional music should be in harmony with the plot. Theme music can appear repeatedly in the film, and local folk songs can be interspersed in the film.

To the actors.

When an actor enters the crew, he must first read the script carefully. Under the guidance of the director group and teachers, the young actor can know what role he is playing, list the character relationship diagram, take a trip to the mountain village, feel it, experience life, get familiar with the environment, analyze his role, find the tone of the role and accurately grasp the character characteristics of the role.

There should also be extensive communication between actors. Actors should recite their lines (because they are actual voices), accurately express their emotions and rehearse their own plays, instead of "watching on the spot", finding the right feeling and "being there". They should start from life as much as possible and fully grasp the tone of the characters. The lines in the script can be perfected by the actors' performances, and they should be as natural and true as possible.

All actors should speak Mandarin and avoid dialects and dialects. Actors usually need to strengthen their practice, and they can't forget their actions or lines as soon as they go on stage; Actors should also use their brains and hearts to think, so that the role is distinctive, the performance is passionate, infectious and lively. Don't deliberately exaggerate some body movements and expressions. The performance should be life-oriented and naturally unpretentious. Only by accumulating more at ordinary times can you relax in front of the camera.

Actors must not sleep before filming, and their mental state and facial expressions are not good after sleeping; Don't laugh when filming, and actors shouldn't be afraid of many people. They should learn to "be alone in this mountain". Before and after filming every day, actors are expected to make notes and diaries. Stills must be taken in the play. If you don't take them, there will be no vitality. There are many sports scenes in this play, between green mountains and green waters. Everyone must pay attention to safety. The crew will also increase manpower and strengthen supervision. Young actors should obey discipline, orders and arrangements. I hope everyone will cherish this opportunity of artistic practice. I hope everyone will unite as one, pay attention to economy, love and help each other, and work hard for * * * to make this film well.
