China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 437 Master and Disciple [Please subscribe]

The post-editing of "The Intouchables" was more difficult than the previous films made by Sun Yi, which can be compared with the multi-line narrative "The Unknown".

Because this movie doesn't have a climax like other movies.

"Those Years" is the memory of youth, with the outburst of youthful emotions of that generation. "The Unknown" is the interaction between all kinds of small people at the bottom of society, in which the audience can see their own shadow. "Fake Marriage" can be said to be an enjoyable love fantasy, while "Shelter" is tense and suspenseful throughout.

There are elements in these movies that can attract audiences.

"The Intouchables" is different. It only has a faint friendship and mutual redemption between Philip and Driss. Although the intention is very high, the director's shooting techniques are more demanding. You have to arouse the audience's emotions in the dull plot. resonance, so every frame in the movie needs to be refined.

Through the scene, light, characters, including the lens frame, you can experience the lens language that fits the character's mood and the story line.

For example, in "The Shawshank Redemption", Andy uses his ability to exchange for a bottle of beer for his friends in prison. In that sunset scene, the faint sunshine shines on his face, reflecting his satisfied smile. When the audience sees such a scene, they will empathize with it and feel beautiful from the bottom of their hearts.

In the end, the scene when he escaped from prison and opened his arms, freely facing the storm, was also inspiring.

This is the magic of movies and the director's control of the lens language.

During the filming, Sun Yi almost achieved perfection in every aspect. Combining the fragments in his mind with his actual shooting experience over the years, he carefully considered every shot, even to the point of showing off his skills.

When the film is finished, it cannot be edited like this. The director will show off too many skills, which will also be bad for the audience's viewing experience. The most appropriate shots need to be retained.

This requires subtraction and repeated thinking and comparison. The original picture is not necessarily the best, because the script has been changed, the background has been adjusted, and the actors are also different, so it must be considered again and again.

"Your frame shot is very good and should be kept."

Starry sky image, Sun Yi's special editing room, was on fire at the moment, filled with smoke. Even if the exhaust fan was turned on to the maximum, it could not exhaust the smoke from the room for a while.

Tian Zhuang held half a cigarette, lit the picture on the screen and said to Sun Yi.

After Sun Yi came back from Jiangcheng, he spent time in the editing room. Tian Zhuang couldn't let go of the movie. Taking advantage of the fact that school was still on summer vacation, he followed him and ran to the starry sky every day as if he were at work.

Sun Yi bit the dead skin on his lips and thought for a long time before saying: "Isn't it a little deliberate? Look, I have already expressed the light here when shooting, and it was used here by Uncle Zhang." It’s a cold light that expresses his closed heart.”

Tianzhuang took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, shook his head and said: "No, this is the effect of 1 plus 1 greater than 2. Frequent switching of skills for the sake of showing off skills will make the audience feel uncomfortable. That’s not the case here, it’s natural.”

"Look, you used cold light. The audience's subconscious feeling is that they are depressed. But why are they depressed? Who is depressed? You have to give the answer in the next scene. It is Zhang Guoli, and in this shot, a window puts him The whole person is wrapped in it, forming a frame. The audience may not understand it or explain why, but they can empathize with it emotionally and subconsciously. They feel that after Zhang Guoli left you, his whole person seemed to have formed a shackles. I closed my heart again."

"This lens language is subtle and necessary."

The scene the two studied was that Zhang Guoli felt that Sun Yi was still young and should not be a caregiver by his side all the time. He should pursue his own dreams, so he chose to change the caregiver and let him leave.

However, no other nurse treated him like a normal friend like Xiao De, and they all had a patient or client relationship.He closed his heart again, feeling that he was a useless person, and lived in confusion every day, until the housekeeper saw his state, and couldn't bear it, so he called Sun Yi back again, and Sun Yi saw his camera again.

Sun Yi nodded. He thought the same way when filming, but when editing the film, he was a little undecided. He was afraid that he would be too deliberate, so he hesitated whether to keep it or not.

Tian Zhuang saw that although Sun Yi nodded, he still looked a little confused, smiled, put out the cigarette butt, waved the smoke in front of his eyes, and said: "Your current state is different from those who have already made several movies. Directors who have mastered a lot of camera skills are different, they will express their skills without reservation."

"You are much better than them. You have already subconsciously thought of starting to subtract. You will even subconsciously express your own camera language during shooting. To put it bluntly, you have now formed your own directing style. It's just that , you haven’t realized it yet, and you still need to summarize and settle.”

Sun Yi frowned. He vaguely felt the directorial style that Teacher Tian Zhuang mentioned when filming "The Intouchables", but he didn't understand what it was exactly.

So, he asked Tian Zhuang: "Teacher, how did you summarize and settle it?"

Hearing this question, Tian Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and then his old face turned red. To be honest, Sun Yi's current level has reached the level that he had to figure out bit by bit after being banned from coaching for ten years. As for how to summarize and settle down next , he has been thinking about it for several years, but has not yet discovered it, so he can't tell anything.

In fact, artistic creation is like this. It is mysterious and mysterious. It is hard to explain what style, feeling and so on. Everyone has his own way. It is difficult to rely on others to teach him. What can be truly taught can only be a craftsmanship. Without soul, if you find your own path, if you follow the right path and follow it steadily, then you are a master.

It’s hard to explain, but it’s okay to pretend to be profound.

Tian Zhuang lit up another cigarette, breathed a sigh of relief, started shaking his head and pretending to be profound, and said to Sun Yi: "I have nothing to teach you about this. Everyone's path is different, and my experience may not be applicable. For you, if it has a bad influence on you, but it is not beautiful, the master will lead you in. Cultivation is up to you. You should think more about different types of films, shoot them, try them, and you will probably understand."

After saying that, Tian Zhuang's face showed a touch of expectation and relief, showing the look of a great master.After hearing this, Sun Yi felt a lot of emotion and kept thinking about it. But after a while, he felt that Teacher Tian had said so much, as if he had said nothing at all.

In the following days, Sun Yi stayed in the editing room with Tian Zhuang every day. It was already mid-February when he and Liu Yifei came back from RB, and they were delayed for two days in Jiangcheng. The remaining time was really tight. .

Finally, the two of them worked hard in the editing room for ten days, editing four versions in total. Finally, at the end of the month, they selected the most satisfactory version, and then hired professional film and television translators from China Film and Television to produce English versions. Subtitles in , French and French are finally arranged to be specially delivered by the company's staff.

The Cannes Film Festival has corresponding requirements for collecting works for exhibition. Generally, it must be before mid-March of the current year. The registration deadline for this Cannes Film Festival is March 3.And non-English and French films must be subtitled in English or French before they can participate in the exhibition.

On March 3, Sun Yi finally received the acknowledgment from the Cannes Organizing Committee to participate in the exhibition, and the stone in his heart was finally settled. However, he was suddenly idle and had nothing to do, so he simply harassed Miss Liu.

"Hey, why did you have time to call me during the day? Are you finished with the post-production of the movie?"

"Why are you talking? Don't I miss you?"

Liu Yifei's infatuated laughter sounded on the other side of the phone: "I'm just lying, you're always busy late these days. I won't bring you a phone, so you won't even sleep with it. You never contact me during the day. I'm sure." You're done with the movie."

Oops, exposed.

Hearing that Xiao Nizi's tone later became a bit complaining, Sun Yi quickly changed the topic.

"Daughter-in-law, they say one day is like three autumns apart. We haven't seen each other for more than one, two, three, or thirty autumns. For the rest of my life, if you don't come back, you might become a widow."

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about!"

"Just kidding."

"Sun Yi, you are not allowed to joke about this."

"."

It was the first time that Liu Yifei called her name so solemnly, and the smile on Sun Yi's face suddenly froze.He really didn't expect that Liu Yifei would react so strongly to a joke.

"Okay, okay, let's not open it."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time, and then Liu Yifei's somewhat apologetic voice came over.

"I'm sorry, husband, I was a little excited just now, because..."

"what happened?"

"Well, it's nothing. I miss you so much. I'll go back tomorrow. What's for dinner later?"

Perhaps because she was afraid that Sun Yi would delve into this issue, Liu Yifei quickly changed the subject and asked about Sun Yi's dinner.

"Oh, dinner, I don't know yet. Anyway, I can just have a bite alone."

"No, don't fool yourself. Otherwise, you go to your uncle and aunt's place to eat. Why don't you spend much time with them during the Chinese New Year?"

Sun Yi thought about it, and it was true. This year, he either went abroad to promote or was busy doing post-production work. He really didn't spend much time with his parents, so he simply agreed: "Okay, then I'll go home and have a meal in the evening."

"Yeah, that's how you behave, go ahead."

"Uh-huh."

After putting down the phone, Sun Yi came back to his senses and wondered if Xiao Nizi was about to say something just now, but was distracted by her dinner.

Forget it, let’s wait until we meet tomorrow to ask, it’s not too late.
