　　"It's the childhood we remember!" Recently, a work called "Unfinished Summer" was screened in the circle of friends of "Sanya people". Uncles in suits and shoes, retro dance halls, young people climbing coconut trees... These memories, which belong to the unique characteristics of Sanya people, appear in front of you one after another. "This film, about Hainan, about childhood memories." "Post-95s," Shi Tengshuai, a local young director in Sanya, described.

■ Character Profile: Shi Tengshuai, born in 1996 in Sanya, Hainan, is an independent short film director. He has shot short films for stars such as Qin Lan and Han Huohuo; the official MV director of "Ideal Thirty"; and the director of the short film "Unfinished Summer".

　　"Rebellious" school dropouts

　　"I never studied directing, I figured it out on my own." Since 2011, it is such a young director who is not from a science class and has no famous school background, and has captured the love of many fans on the Internet. From the obscure "running the sea" teenager to today's "internet celebrity" director, how did Shi Tengshuai bring himself to the public's vision with the lens in his hand in the past 9 years?

　　Time back to 2011. Shi Tengshuai, who had just graduated from junior high school, chose to study graphic design from Sanya to a secondary professional school in Guangzhou, when he was 15 years old. At first, he did not like the "art" of images, until he later felt the shock of images, so he asked his father for money and bought the first camera in his life. However, after shooting for a while in "three minutes of heat", he sold his camera in his hand, replaced it with a skateboard, and met a group of "skateboard" friends at the age of 16.

　　Two years later, after graduating from secondary school and entering junior college, his friend said he was going to skateboard and asked him to help record a video. He borrowed a camera from a friend and shot a short video for him. "After that short film, I knew that was what I wanted!" Shi Tengshuai, who found the direction of his life, decided to drop out of school immediately.

　　Because of the understanding and support of his family, Shi Tengshuai had the confidence to drop out of school in the first year of junior college and began to embark on his own "director" road. Today, the rebellious school dropout has become the pride of his family. "I feel so proud!" When her sister Shi Jiaqi learned that the reporter was going to interview Shi Tengshuai, she told the reporter.

　　A director who is not good at writing "words"

　　From the beginning of the record life vlog, to the later began to shoot commercials, Shi Tengshuai has been adhering to his unique style of "no commercial atmosphere". The first work that came to prominence on social platforms was a vlog he took with his girlfriend when they traveled to Vietnam. "Since then, I've been constantly wanting to create." Shi Tengshuai recalled that since that work, he has gradually become known to the public on the Internet and has become a "net red" young director on social platforms.

　　In 2015, Shi Tengshuai was 19 years old. This year, he also grew from a young man who needed help from his family to a promising young man who made money independently in many cities. So, what kind of bottlenecks and difficulties have been encountered on this road? "No money" is Shi Tengshuai's answer. "Because I really like to shoot, I want to make my favorite films." When he has "grain" in his hand, he is generally reluctant to take the shooting of commercial advertisements.

　　"He's been sticking to his original intentions and is an idol I've always loved!" Ms. Chen, a loyal fan of Shi Tengshuai, said that his works are almost impossible to smell commercial.

　　He has filmed stars such as Qin Lan and Han Huohuo; filmed official MVs for the songs of "Ideal Thirty". Every time his work is published, he will always receive fans on the Internet "Little Wong Kar Wai" and "Love every frame"... Confession.

　　Even so, his directing path has not been smooth sailing, and he has encountered his own "pain points". "Why do other directors write and I don't?" He said that when I didn't understand the orthodox filming process, I felt that I was not suitable for this line of work, and the ideas in my head were sufficient, but it was difficult for me to express them in words. "Later I figured out that everyone has their own strengths, and I may not be good at dealing with words, but my strength is shooting." He said that the script that could not be expressed by words was replaced by casualness, freedom, and freedom. "Other directors may not be able to shoot my style."

　　Maverick "running the sea" teenager

　　The scenes in "Unfinished Summer" are the childhood he remembers, and the group performances that appear in the video are also his family and friends. "Actually, it was shot very quickly, and it was done in a few days." Through the "Hidden World" theme of the shooting, he decided to integrate his childhood memories with Sanya and show them to everyone.

　　"I've always wanted to make a film about Sanya and my childhood." Shi Tengshuai said that when he was a child, his mother worked in the dance hall next to his home, and he often went there to find her, which was the source of inspiration in the video clip, and the teenagers who picked coconuts and "ran the sea" together in the video were the embodiment of him and his childhood playmates.

　　An obscure "running the sea" teenager "ran" into the public's field of vision with his memories of Sanya and ran into the world of movies. "A lot of my creative inspiration actually comes from my childhood memories." He told reporters that over the years, he often had pictures of running in his works, which was similar to what he felt like when he was a child running on the beach. Every time he shoots the action of running, he will always NG many times, obsessed with capturing the "feeling" he wants, so that every time the actor will run very tired.

　　For his future, Shi Tengshuai has a very clear direction. "Actually, I'm slowly transitioning right now, and I shouldn't be a real commercial director." He said that next he prefers to shoot his favorite things, such as outdoor life vlogs such as camping. In the face of the rapid changes in Sanya today, when the reporter mentioned whether he wanted to return to Sanya for development, he said that he wanted to continue to roam outside, but regretted that he did not record sanya's past villages, rivers and so on with the lens.
