tearjerker director

Chapter 1060 A story full of pictures
After Li Yi returned home, he began to "copy" the original text of "Magi's Gift".

It has to be said that a masterpiece is a masterpiece, even if it is just reading the text, it is just a short story, not to mention the director, even ordinary people can feel the sense of picture coming from the surface.

Of course, the era in which the story of "The Gift of the Magi" took place is very different from this era.

But the essence of this short story will not change because of the changes of the times.

Look at the first paragraph: $[-].It's all here.Among them, the sixty cents were made up of copper coins.These copper coins are withheld one or two at a time from the grocer, the greengrocer, and the butcher. Although they don't say it clearly, they always feel that this kind of transaction is too stingy. , My face was flushed red at that time.Della counted three times.It was still one dollar and eighty-seven cents, and the next day was Christmas.

In Li Yi's eyes, there is almost no need to think about it, just to know how to shoot.

Of course, there is still a difference between the language of the lens and the language of the text.

For example, how the money is saved, if it is shown through the camera, the order is reversed.

After reading the original text several times, Li Yi started to draw the storyboard script.

There is still a big difference between a director's script and an ordinary script.

Of course, for Li Yi, these are all familiar things.

The main thing is to highlight a sense of the picture, what kind of angle should be taken from this picture, what kind of lighting should be matched, what kind of color and so on.

These need to be shown in the director's shot script.

"The Gift of the Magi" actually has a little "suspense" narrative.

Mingxian is the hostess Della, who is worried about preparing a Christmas gift for her husband. She doesn't have enough money to buy her favorite gift, so she can only think of other ways.

And these will be shown through the lens.

Straight in front of the audience.

On the other hand, the husband buying gifts is a dark thread.

It can be said that the biggest feature of this short story is the reversal.

The moment of reversal at the last moment brought people a great touch.

Short stories, to a certain extent, are incomparably compatible with micro movies and short films.

Because the length of the story is not suitable for filling too many plots, this is the case with short stories, and so is the short film and micro-movie.

The script of this kind of short film naturally wouldn't take too long for Li Yi.

The storyboard script was quickly made.

Then there is the actor.

In the short film "The Gift of the Magi", the main actors are actually two male protagonists and a female protagonist, but the male protagonist has very few roles. It can be said that this is more of a female protagonist short film.

Because the story is cut from the perspective of the heroine, more pictures of the heroine are shown.

But such a short film does not have low requirements on the acting skills of actresses.

In fact, Li Yi also has short films in his memory. Unfortunately, the stories are good stories, but most of them are made by amateurs.

Therefore, the actors are also relatively amateur, giving people the feeling that they fall into the lower class, and completely lose the taste of novels.

In other words, it is difficult to show the essence.

In fact, it is a very simple truth, amateur and professional, in fact, many viewers can tell the difference at first sight.

The first is the setting of the scenery and the calling of the shots.

For amateur photographers, most of the time, the lens follows the protagonist, which is very monotonous. They rarely take multi-camera shooting. In terms of lighting, color matching, etc., people can easily find their amateur photographers. The place.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Yi to make a film, even if it is a short film.

Li Yi started preparing short films and looking for actors.

On the other side of Penguin Video in China, the Penguin Cup International Online Love-themed Short Film Festival is really in full swing.

After all, it is an online short film festival, so the pre-screenings and the like are all held directly on the Internet.

Of course, for this short film festival, Penguin Video also spent a lot of money, doing a good job in publicity, and there are various activities to attract netizens.

And Li Yi's name is naturally a weapon for publicity.

Penguin Video released the news early on that Li Yi, the famous Grand Slam director and king of short films, will customize a "love short film" for this Penguin Cup International Online Love-themed Short Film Festival.

The short film will premiere at the awards ceremony on May [-]th!
At the beginning, Penguin Video wanted to use Li Yi's short film as the opening short film, but after final consideration, it was decided to make it the finale.

According to Yan Wenwei's words, he was afraid that Li Yi's short film would suck up the heat ahead of time, making other participating short films embarrassing.

After all, what is Li Yi's identity, status, and strength?
Even this time, under the lure of huge bonuses and film investment funds, many directors from all over the world brought their own works to the competition.

There are also amazing short films among them, but sometimes, it’s not just about the quality of the short films. Short films of the same quality are more accurate. Those are definitely two very different influences.

Because director Li Yi's works have already become synonymous with quality in the eyes of countless movie fans!

In fact, both online short film festivals and offline short film festivals have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Generally speaking, in fact, most of the time, offline short film festivals are still quite far away for ordinary netizens and movie fans.

Unless it is a relatively popular short film, which is found by Amway, otherwise, unless it is a die-hard fan who pays special attention to it, most of the time, it is actually difficult to get a real chance to show it.

Of course, offline short film festivals usually have a higher level of compulsion, but in fact, this is not a good thing for those short film directors who are eager to be recognized.

To put it bluntly, many short film directors are actually using short films as a stepping stone to show their strength and characteristics.

After all, there are only a small number of award-winning short films, so what about the remaining short films?
Not even a chance to show off.

Because most of the time, there are too many entries in the short film festival.

And offline, the time that can be broadcast is limited after all.

But the online short film festival is different. Penguin Video will display every short film in the special area of ​​this short film festival.

Although the same wonderful short film is easier to get more exposure, but at least other works, as long as they are good enough, can also get some resources.

For many short film directors, that's what they want to see.
