Chung-Ang University, South Korea.

In a classroom in the Department of Drama and Film.

Jin Jingcheng is in class, and the topic he talks about in this class is related to the balance point of film, the "balance point" of film, which is a term and concept that he has created himself.

Roughly speaking, often a successful or even classic or even great movie will inevitably have its potential balance point, which is often not single, but multi-directional.

In order to expound his own ideas and ideas, Jin Jingcheng gave examples and explained them at the same time, so that the following students could easily absorb the essence of his ideas in a kind of vivid and vivid teaching.

For example, a film often needs to find a balance between business and art, and the most classic case in this regard is "Titanic", which has not only achieved great results commercially, but also has many artistic highlights to be found.

For example, a film often needs to find a balance between the soundtrack and the picture, and there are many classic cases in this regard, Jin Jingcheng focused on the famous Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore's classic film time and space trilogy "Cinema Paradiso", "The Pianist of the Sea", and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".

Giuseppe Tornatore is a director that Jin Jingcheng personally admires very much, and his time and space trilogy is regarded by Jin Jingcheng as three classics in film history that will never wither, it is relatively rare for a director to make a movie classic in his life, not to mention three classics, and these three are launched one after another, constituting a classic series.

The time and space trilogy has found a good balance between the soundtrack and the picture, and some of the soundtracks in it, if extracted separately, are not easy to impress, but after combining with those movie pictures, people can't help but immerse themselves in it.

The balance point of the movie, this is a topic that Jin Jingcheng has been brewing in his brain for many days, if you talk about it in detail, it is more complicated, if you are a simple metaphor. It's kind of like the golden section. It's nothing more than that the same movie often has a multi-directional balance point, different movies. There are often different balances.

Different movies often have different balance points, and as a director, the more balance points he excavates for one of his own films. The closer you get to these balances, the better the film will be.

Many investors or directors like to claim that their films should pursue commercial and artistic maximization, and there are also some investors or directors who claim that their films should be the best in terms of soundtrack and picture...... And so on, and so on, in Jin Jingcheng's view, is a bit ridiculous.

Jin Jingcheng feels that this is an extreme ideal that is difficult to achieve, and in reality, making a movie is not about pursuing any extreme maximization. Instead, we should dig into the equilibrium point, and then approach the equilibrium point, so that the effect is often really good.

When Jin Jingcheng finished telling his topic, he deliberately set aside a little time for the students to ask questions, but not a single student stood up for a long time to ask questions, not because he did not listen carefully, but because the topics described by Jin Jingcheng in this class are somewhat novel and profound, even if he tries to simplify them, the theoretical aspect is still relatively difficult to understand, and it is not easy to understand for a while.

Then. Park Ye-jin, a member of the study committee with strong learning ability, stood up as a representative and asked, "Mr. Kim, since you have proposed the concept of a balanced point in films. He also gave us a vivid example, so how can you apply these theories to practice?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Park Ye-jin, but I don't think I can answer your question exactly. Jin Jingcheng smiled and said: "The use of theory in practice is really a broad proposition. The key to many similar problems lies in the individual, whether you have the ability to apply it to practice after you have comprehended the theory, and this kind of thing, teachers or even professors will not help you much. ”

Jin Jingcheng immediately looked at the class: "Because of the time constraints, and my topic this time is a bit profound, it is inevitable that there will be some defects after a lecture, but I have decided to expand this topic, and after in-depth research, I will write a paper entitled "Exploratory Research on the Balance Point of Film" for publication, interested students can pay attention to it then." ”

When the words fell, the classroom burst into warm applause, and many students looked at Jin Jingcheng with reverence.

At this time, Yoo Ha Na and Park Han Sung, who were sitting in the corner of the first row of the classroom, were clapping and whispering.

"Papers, what about the papers of the handsome young teachers, I will definitely pay attention to them then, no matter which magazine or newspaper they are published, I must buy them. Park Han-sung said with a sigh, looking at Kim Kyung-sung's eyes as if they were shining.

Liu Hana on the side quipped: "Come on, you, what about the paper, you can understand one-tenth of the textbook, it's not bad, it's not that I'm sarcastic about you, can you understand this class? Absolutely not?"

Park Hanxing snorted coldly: "You understand again?"

Liu Hana said calmly: "No, I didn't say that I understood, unlike some people, who obviously couldn't even understand the class, so they thought about reading the paper, in fact, I also knew that some people were just fascinated by the young handsome teacher in her mouth......"

"Ah, Yoo Ha Na!" Park Han-sung interrupted angrily, and after thinking of something, he smiled slyly: "Hehe, don't talk about me, you seem to be more serious than me, I don't know who is checking the news of a certain teacher on the Internet in the dormitory every night, I don't know who got angry inexplicably after seeing the scandal between a certain teacher and Jessica Alba yesterday, I don't know who ......"

"Ah, Park Han-sung!" Liu Ha-na hurriedly interrupted, looking embarrassed.

At this moment, there is a figure standing by the window outside the classroom, it is Lee Soon-hwan, the head of the Department of Drama and Film.

When Jin Jingcheng first started class, Li Shunhuan came over, and originally planned to take a look and leave, but he was deeply attracted by Jin Jingcheng's topic and artistic lecture method, and couldn't help but stand outside the window and listen, and heard the end of the whole class as soon as he listened, in other words, he had been standing still outside the window for an hour and a half.

Right now, Li Shunhuan couldn't help but muttered softly: "This young junior is really excellent professionally, the balance point of the movie he proposed this time is definitely a good topic, I believe that as long as he studies it carefully, he will brew a very classic and practical paper, and he will be a professor in the near future!"

Li Shunhuan immediately sighed: "If it goes on like this, he will soon go to the lecture hall to attend classes." ”

There is this exclamation because Li Shunhuan suddenly found that today's classroom was full of people, except for Li Zhenxian, everyone else in this class arrived, and a few students still specially asked for leave for the crew, and some students from other classes and even other departments came to listen to Jin Jingcheng's lecture, so that some people didn't even have a place to sit, and they were willing to stand and listen to the whole class.
