MTL - I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad-Chapter 457 455. Montage (3/2)

   Chapter 457 455. Montage (32)

  The long shot makes Liu Yifei look like a three-inch villain in the picture.

  Wearing plain clothes, walking on the deserted country road.

"walk".

  This is Director Xu's description of the timeline of the film.

  When the field was barren, Liu Yifei was walking.

  When the seedlings were green, Liu Yifei was also leaving.

  When the mountain flowers were in full bloom, Liu Yifei was still walking.

  The same scene, different body language, different lens distance, and different expressions express the passage of time respectively.

  At this moment, Liu Yifei, after hearing the words: "Get ready, go." from the horn in the distance, she carried her luggage and carried a basin, and walked from the inside of the village to the outside step by step.

  Because of the heavy luggage, her body language was like the tall tracker in the illustration in "Trackers on the Volga", standing up straight, with her head stretched forward, her back slightly arched by the pull.

  Vivid and vivid.

   There are some people in front of her who quickly walk out of the camera.

  The setting of Jing Qiu in the movie is because of her composition, she is alienated by other workers and peasants. And in the first scene of the movie that has been filmed, she herself is a very inconspicuous person who silently follows the team at the end.

   And now she is still alone when she finishes the teaching material about the heroic hawthorn tree and leaves the village.

   It’s just that, compared to the last time when Xu Xin used a close-up lens to portray the group relationship, this time, his lens is pulled farther, expressing the distance between Jing Qiu and the crowd.

  At this moment, the students in front of the camera have disappeared into the fixed shot.

  On the screen, Jing Qiu played by Liu Yifei is the only one left.

  Under Wang Lei's control, the camera began to move slowly.

   Starts rocking left and right with a small dynamic.

   And in the scene where Jingqiu seems to be the only one left in the world, she is more hesitant to leave.

   When she was about to walk out of the screen, she made a stop motion.

   Suddenly turned his head and glanced in the direction of the village.

  Then lowered his head again.

   Bow your head, hold your chest, and hunchback.

   walked out of the screen.

   "Very well, it's over."

  Xu Xin's voice sounded:

   "Next scene."

   Following the director's words, the staff began to walk towards the bridge carrying various equipment.

   There are two more scenes to be filmed for this scene.

  The first scene is a distant scene, and the second scene is to shoot Liu Yifei's preoccupied appearance.

  The third act is when she turns her head, and captures her sense of anticipation and reluctance to wait for someone to appear.

  Xu Xin moved with the team, while Yu Zhen followed the team with her graduate students.

  Because of the teacher's arrival, they have some "time to listen to the class", and sometimes they don't have to be busy with the crew. But this time is not much, more time is after the crew finishes work, Teacher Yu will chat with them.

   Today is the last day of the first stage in Qinglong Village.

  After the shooting of these few shots, the crew's early scenes in Qinglong Village are almost over.

  Go to Yuan'an to shoot.

   Then wait for the flowering period of the hawthorn tree to come back.

   It is also Yu Zhen's last day in the crew, and she needs to make a summary for the students.

  So, while waiting for the crew to make arrangements, Yu Zhen pulled her students to stand at the end and asked the first question:

   "Who will deconstruct the language of Xu Xin's shot for me?"

  Hearing this, several people looked at each other, and Wen Muye stood up:

   "Teacher Yu, I think there are double meanings in this shot. The first one is actually the expression of time. However, Director Xu's long shot this time is obviously longer than the previous "Walking Alone in Quiet Autumn" that expresses the length of time.

  So, the second layer, I think...it should be that when Director Xu expressed Jingqiu's journey, not only time passed, but also her mood. He deliberately took a long time to shoot, and added the element of looking back, expressing Jingqiu's feeling that this road will never come to an end. It's kind of a montage-like approach to expression...but a little more subjective. "

  Hearing what he said, Yu Zhen didn't say right or wrong, but continued to wait for other people's answers.

   After waiting for a while, seeing that no one answered, she began to roll the roll:

   "Guo Fan, what do you think?"

"Well…"

  Guo Fan was dull for a while before he said:

"I agree with what Mosquito said, but what I care about is the way he uses it. This road is indeed a double meaning of the actual road and the mental road. But when switching, in order not to appear abrupt and to allow the audience to understand, he used Borrowing is the people in front.

  When those people appear in the camera, this road is an actual road. Director Xu uses a fixed lens to describe. But after they stepped out of the camera range one after another, he began to push the camera for dynamic shooting.

   After the actual person walked out of the camera, the camera began to move, and from then on, this road became Jingqiu's heart road. Use the left and right swings to let the senses lengthen the distance of this road, and at the same time express Jingqiu's inseparable hope that this road will never end.

  The last one is the look back.

   Looking back at this scene, my own feeling is that I look forward to the appearance of the third child. If the third child appears...then maybe Jingqiu will... turn back without any scruples? But the third child didn't show up, Jingqiu was very disappointed, then changed her body language, and walked out of the camera silently...

  After she looked back, when she turned her body upright again, this road became the actual road again..."

   This time, Yu Zhen finally nodded slightly, showing a satisfied look.

   There is no need to continue listening.

  Two students have deconstructed and completed the understanding of this shot.

  What other people say is nothing more than nitpicking or superfluous.

"Very well, the two of you have summed it up well...Then let me ask you again, why do you think he took this shot directly with a montage technique? How did he come up with the idea of ​​completing it with a static shot? What about the montage method?"

   "..."

   "..."

   "..."

  Everyone paused.

  One after another showed a look of thinking.

yes…

  Montage is an editing term, derived from French. In movies, it is mostly a theory of combining shots.

  Its common method of display is the combination of multiple shots, which are arranged and combined in different locations, from different distances and angles, and shot in different ways to narrate the plot and portray the characters.

When everyone mentions montage, they subconsciously feel that the picture should be dynamic and illusory, expressing the switching between the virtual and the real in a very complicated shot that is not obscure status.

   But put it here to Director Xu...

unnecessary.

   There is no need for complicated lenses at all.

  He just used the group of passers-by as the anchor point, and he was light... as if strolling in the courtyard, expressing this relationship clearly.

this…

  How to answer the teacher's question?

  How do we know what Director Xu thought of?

   Everyone was silent for a while.

  If you really want them to explain...there is only one reason they can give.

   That was what Director Zhang told them back then:

   "Don't learn from him, because you may not be able to learn it."

  He is a genius...

   "Ah Choo."

  Xu Xin, who was walking in front, rubbed his nose.

   He didn't know what happened next. Even if it is clear, I feel a little over-interpreted.

   Although they are right.

  But... when he was dealing with this scene, he really didn't think about what specific techniques to use.

  Don't talk about montage...it doesn't matter if it's Montana.

   Anyway, they are all for movies.

  He just needs to express what he wants to express. What kind of lens and what technique... These things are too ingenious in his opinion.

   doesn't make sense either.

  Movies are not virtuoso.

   Rather, it serves the story.

  Before you figure out how to use these fancy techniques, you need to take a picture of your own story and tell it.

   Walked in front of Liu Yifei, holding the script, Xu Xin said:

   "The performance just now was very good, but when you look back later, you have to pay attention, you will be disappointed if the third child didn't come, but don't have too much nostalgia on your face, do you understand what I mean?"

  Liu Yifei thought for a while, then nodded:

   "At this stage of Jingqiu's life, staying in school to teach is more important than anything else. She may have sprouted feelings for the third child in her heart, but it's still not as big as this mother's expectation, right?"

"Um."

   There was no surprise in her understanding, Xu Xin responded as it should:

   "Yes, so, there must be nostalgia, but don't give too much. More is still firm."

   "Okay, I see."

   "Well, come on, let's call it a day after filming this part."

"OK."

  Liu Yifei responded, then silently lowered her head, and began to look for the feeling Xu Xin wanted.

   And Xu Xin didn't say any more, and retreated back to the tent that had just been set up.

   His collaboration with Liu Yifei...

how to say.

   Quite quite enjoyable.

  Compared to Lin Gou who has been NGed a lot in the past few days, Liu Yifei's preparations for Jing Qiu are simply perfect.

  Anything I want to express can be found on her face.

   Is it because of her dramatic change in acting?

   In fact, it cannot be achieved.

   If you really want to study it carefully, in fact, this is more like a person who has made all the preparations and takes something out of his arsenal when he needs it.

  Her acting skills have improved and changed for sure.

   But if she leaves the hawthorn tree, although she won't get so many bonuses, she will also have a great improvement.

   In half a year, her hard work has indeed reaped rewards.

   As for how big the payoff is...

   Well, let's put it this way.

   Didn’t you see that the old man went directly to Nanjing after following him for a few days?

  After seeing Liu Yifei's acting skills and Xu Xin's grasp of the overall tone of the play, after confirming that he was a teacher, he flew directly to Nanjing to prepare his own play.

   Soon, the movie continued to enter the shooting state.

  The first pass, the frontal shot, passed without difficulty.

  The second time, the crew changed angles again.

   Xu Xin saw her looking back.

   In fairness...

   is really good-looking.

   No matter how many times he looks at each other's close-up shots from various angles, he must admit... Her bowl of rice is really rewarded by God.

  Her face is simply the best synonym for the word "pure".

  Even, sometimes he would ponder in a bit of a naughty way... As the first love object in many people's dreams, if Liu Yifei finds a boyfriend in the future, gets married, gets married, has children, and even becomes fat and blessed...

  Will he hear the voice of other people's dream breaking?

  But no matter what, looking at the girl who turned around and looked back, her eyebrows and eyes were full of reluctance, he firmly picked up the loudspeaker:

   "Crack. I'm too full of emotions, don't be so sad, do it all over again."

  …

   "How on earth did you become an agent? Ah!? Such a big living person, if you can't contact him, you can't contact him!? Ah?!"

   Facing the questioning on the phone, Li Minnian rolled his eyes.

  Standing on the balcony, holding a cigarette, he looked at his two-year-old son and daughter through the glass door, feeling extremely relaxed.

  At this moment on the tea table, Ultraman, who represents justice, occupies half of the country, confronting the dolls on the other side.

  Even the long sofa was divided into two by a few throw pillows.

  The elder brother and the younger sister each occupy half of the territory, whoever dares to cross the line rashly, will surely be hit by a storm like a storm.

  Children.

   Like to fight for everything.

   Fight over who sits next to mother and who sits next to father.

  You can fight for someone watching your favorite cartoon.

   Now it's good to divide it into two.

  At least, parents don't have to pull away two children who are fighting.

   Well water does not violate river water.

  The old father was full of relief.

  The face is full of relief, but the mouth is not idle:

"Mr. Cai...it's really my fault. The main reason is that Shishi said she wanted to settle down for a while, so I can't restrict her freedom, right?...I've already called her parents and asked, and you know the situation at their home …

  Her dad told me directly: I don’t know where my daughter is. Contact her yourself...

  Mr. Cai, to be honest, I can hear that he is also angry with me. It's definitely wrong for Shishi to contradict you this time and disobey the company's management, but... Shishi's father, as a layman, doesn't understand your painstaking efforts for her, and doesn't cooperate with us... I can't say anything more. "

  The voice fell.

  He also smoked a cigarette happily.

  Then I heard Cai Yinong say angrily over there:

"It's hard to say? Don't say more? Then Liu Zhishi, you find it for me!? Ah?! Now the whole crew is waiting for her, and I can't find her. I don't know the phone number, the phone number. Tell me what to do ? Who will bear the loss of the crew for one day!?"

  Who will bear it?

  You chant yourself.

   You mentioned Xuezang.

  Never mind my business.

  Li Minnian, whose waist had hardened, rolled his eyes again.

   But the tone is still respectful:

   "This... yes yes, I will think about it again... I will think about it again."

   "Quick! Think fast!"

   "Okay okay."

   Beep.

  The phone hangs up.

  Li Minnian stubbed out the cigarette butt.

   After taking a sip of water to wash away the smell of smoke, he sprayed a few more sprays into his mouth, and then walked into the living room again.

   Just arrived in the living room, the son and daughter tore up the peace treaty because they fought over the remote control.

  The two began to wrestle.

  The corner of his mouth twitched...

  However, he knows that this is only the first stage, having brought out experience in raising a baby.

  The first stage, scramble.

   In the second stage, the fights started directly.

   In the third stage, the one who suffered a loss came to the parents crying for comment.

  We haven't reached the second stage yet, if you intervene rashly, it will turn the matter into a fight for the ownership of parents.

   So, not yet.

  He ignored the two children and walked straight into the kitchen.

  Hyun-hye’s wife is making the jajang for him.

   As an old couple, he glanced at the progress and knew it was time to help chop the onions.

  Come to the chopping board, he said while chopping onions:

   "Mr. Cai called me just now."

   "Hmm. How do you say it?"

   "What can you say? Teach me. Let me help her find Shishi... I won't help, let her be anxious for two days. She made a mistake by herself, and she can solve it by herself."

  Hearing this, the woman paused as she stirred the fried sauce in the pot.

  After thinking about it, she said tentatively:

   "Yang Mi...is it really reliable? Isn't she too young? Are you sure you have a future with her?"

   "It's definitely much more promising than it is now... I've carefully analyzed her resources in the past few days, and they are basically what Shishi can use. Besides... I can trust her character."

  The husband's words made the woman think for a while, and then sighed helplessly:

   "Ah... so to speak. She can take her little sister... called... what is it called?"

   "angelbaby."

"Yes. I've been seeing her on various online news recently...it seems really popular. It is said that "The Voice" is about to start, anyway, she is becoming more and more famous. From this point of view, Yang Mi is quite righteous ...But I'm afraid. Our house still has more than 20 years to pay off the loan... Shishi has finally become famous, if you really resign rashly, what if it doesn't work...Xiaoqing will start elementary school next year..."

   "..."

  Li Minnian's action of cutting onions did not stop.

   Just waited for his wife to finish speaking, and responded:

"Don't worry, I know what's in my mind... just take a gamble, okay? I've really had enough of Tang Ren's company. The boss is stupid and mean, I don't want to stay anymore... Don't worry, it won't be too bitter. Yang Mi is comparable now. There is a lot of nonsense. What's more, there is a director Xu...the couple are very righteous."

   "...Anyway, you can make up your own mind. I will be responsible for taking care of Xiaojun and Xiaoqing...For the things outside, thank you for your hard work."

"Um."

   So much for the couple's kitchen talk.

  Because the son and daughter also ended the first stage and started to enter the second stage.

  He has to be careful that the younger sister doesn't blow his brother's head off with the doll in his hand.

   Be careful not to rub your sister's doll's wig on your **** like last time...

well…

  Thinking of this, he sighed.

  They are obviously brothers and sisters, but why are they like enemies?

  Put down the kitchen knife, leaning against the kitchen door, he looked at the war that was still under control for the time being, and unconsciously thought about it.
