This director needs to apologize

Chapter 136: Bondage is tacky
Chloe could sense the faint feeling of weirdness in her heart, and her intuition told her that Chen Yiming's statement was not entirely true, but it could be logically justified.

Originally, she thought she was going to interview a young director in his twenties today, but now the impeccable-spoken old man opposite him looked like a young man at all?

The interview outline prepared before was useless. Chloe decided to continue chatting casually like this, which actually felt pretty good.

Regardless of whether the other party's low profile of being a layman is true or not, at least his point of view is indeed a layman's perspective. When used in Cannes, a place where experts are everywhere, there is an inexplicable contrast in it.

"Chen, you just mentioned instant impulse, so do you consider yourself a passionate director?"

“In a sense, yes, when I proposed making a war film in one shot, my friends said I was going crazy again.

I still remember the three soul questions asked by the director of photography Sang Ping. At that time, he pointed at the script and asked me how to cross the river, how to show the artillery group, and how to show the snipers under a long lens. Then I was dumbfounded.

Of course, I finally solved those problems, because I confidently said to Sang Ping, isn't this the biggest meaning of your coming here? "

Chloe laughed at the audience, "You gave me the urge to be a director."

Chen Yiming blinked, "You should try it. Once you try it, you will know that it is not as difficult as you think."

Chloe changed the subject, "I know you were trying to create a one-shot atmosphere, but that continuity was artificially broken at the moment when the plane appeared while crossing the river.

I admit that the pacing of this scene is still smooth, but in the shot of the plane swooping, the transition from the reflection of the plane in the protagonist's eyes to him being pushed below the surface of the water is purely technical, and there are many ways to circumvent it.

In other words, this flaw could not have existed. How do you think about this? "

Chen Yiming also said "Wow" to Chloe, "Madam, your observation skills are really keen. Indeed, as you said, I chose the one with a relatively high deviation value among the many hidden editing methods.

This movie is inspired by a game, and in my imagination, it is indeed a game, and it is a hardcore mode of completing the game in one life.

So if the role of the director is replaced by a game designer, this approach is easy to understand.

The level design in the game emphasizes the concept of balance. It cannot be too simple, so that players have no fun, but it cannot be too difficult, so that players are always frustrated.

At the same time, designers also need to leave certain prompts in the game to tell players that somewhere requires you to use your brain.Tips also need to be balanced, neither too many or too obtrusive, nor too few or too subtle.

This is a tacit understanding between designers and players, and there is no need to express it tacitly.

I hope to reach a similar tacit understanding with the audience, which can also be said to be an invitation.

In the airplane scene, I gave a hint that one shot is not exactly one shot. Audiences who are aware of this hint may want to participate and play a game of finding fault.

As for the audience who are unaware of the existence of the prompt, this shot is still a smooth whole, which does not prevent them from watching normally. "

Chen Yiming's casual talk when dealing with reporters, but in the theater where the movie was being shown at the moment, he really reached a "tacit understanding" between players and designers with many viewers.

Pollack, who was at the Palais des Festivals with Chen Yiming, received Chen Yiming's tip earlier than Chloe, and he only had one word to comment on it, "frivolous."

Pollack was even a little angry that his IQ was insulted. He felt that this treatment was too commercial, and the effect of the resentment it caused was second only to the fake-looking squirrel disguised as the company's logo at the beginning of the movie.

For the sake of showmanship and commercial considerations, he would not hesitate to destroy the overall artistry of the film. This is not what a film participating in the main competition section of Cannes should do. If you want to attract attention, you can go to the screening section.

Therefore, Pollack wrote down a bad review on director Chen Yiming in his notebook.

Mitu's perception was similar to Pollack's, but his reaction was slightly delayed.

However, she only felt a little sudden, and even the sudden feeling did not cross her mind, and it dissipated at the speed of light through nerve conduction.

Because she was already attracted by the scene that followed, the emotional pull between Mu Xiaolin and Qin Zhiliang across the body of water, the bond between the men burst out, and she couldn't take her eyes away.

Qin Zhiliang ordered Mu Xiaolin to speed up, but he turned back to widen the distance between the two.

The reason given was cold and rational. Since there was no time to avoid the next pass, they should spread out as much as possible and not let the oil pickers sweep two people in one dive.

“Mumu, the faster you pass and the closer you are to the other side, the farther away my position is from the center of the river, the higher the chance of survival.

You didn't abandon me, you carried my life on your back! "

The plane in the sky swooped down for the second time, and the tracks of the parallel machine guns left two dense splashes in the water.

Qin Zhiliang saw the right moment and plunged to the bottom of the river. The plane roared over his head and rolled up two higher walls of water on the river.

Mu Xiaolin froze on the spot, staring closely at the place where Qin Zhiliang disappeared. After ten seconds, he began to turn around and rush back.

Mitu held his breath, as if he was afraid that his exhalation would interfere with the distance between the two people on the big screen.The roar of jets in the background amplified again, and she knew it heralded a third dive.

Qin Zhiliang finally emerged from the water. He looked at Mu Xiaolin in front of him and shouted angrily, "Who asked you to come back? Why didn't you obey the order?"

Mu Xiaolin's face first showed a grin of great surprise, but soon turned into embarrassment of making a mistake. He immediately wanted to turn around and rush to the other side again.

However, as soon as he turned around, he was stunned in place, looking into the distance and the inherent dullness on his face returned to his face.

"Tong Tong Tong", halfway up the mountainside of Highland 589 where the two men set out, a series of machine shells suddenly shot out from the dense grass, sweeping like fire whips towards the oil picker entering the dive channel, forcing it to end its dive early and make an emergency pull-up.

The trajectory of the tracer bullets formed an arc in mid-air, chasing the rising oil pick and hitting it higher and higher.

Mu Xiaolin once again entered a state of surprise and shouted to Qin Zhiliang, "Brother Qin, it must be Captain Zhang's machine gun."

There was no surprise on Qin Zhiliang's face that he had survived the desperate situation. He sighed and said calmly, "Stop looking and speed up to cross the river."

"Hey!" Although he had turned around, the joy in Mu Xiaolin's tone seemed to spread through the screen into the screening room.

After the tense scenes passed, the movie entered a soothing marching rhythm again, leaving Mitu free time to carefully reflect on the scene between the two in the river just now.

At this time, the group of friends around her suddenly came over and whispered in her ear, "This couple is really good at fighting, natural attack and tsundere, all because of my cuteness. Now I am so wet that I am in tears."

Mitu's good memories collapsed instantly, but she had to admit that her friend's summary could not be said to be accurate, but only accurate.

A rotten girl looks at people's bases and will not bully others if they are sincere.

Mitu pushed the group of friends away from her in disgust, but what the latter said remained in her mind, lingering like a lingering sound.

Looking at Mu and Qin on the big screen, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Help!
To say that in this airplane scene, the one who reached "spiritual resonance" with Chen Yiming across a long distance was the game otaku Li Weiwei.

From the moment he ordered the duo to cross the river, Li Weiwei found the rhythm of the "RPG game" he was most familiar with.

In a word, he is a bit more on par with Chen Yiming.

Veteran players with rich gaming experience generally have a similar "sensitivity". They can basically guess where the monster should be when playing, whether it is an elite or a BOSS.

Then the roar in the background gave Li Weiwei a kind of "prophetic" happiness.

The plane swooped down, and Li Weiwei almost laughed out loud. Could this modification be more superficial and sloppy? How could the K-18 pull out the antenna and pretend to be an oil picker? How could it escape the eyes of a military man like him?

What's more, the two auxiliary fuel tanks are not on the wingtips at all. If it were done like this in the game, the production team would probably be sprayed out.

It's a pity that he can't share the joy of finding trouble with others, so he can only complain in his heart silently.

Another person who was addicted to the fault-finding game was Li Yucheng, who was completely relaxed.

Having been a soldier for most of his life, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to a thousand years ago, he is familiar with all the army weapons of our army. He has not only seen and touched them, but also tried them.

There is no doubt that Li Yucheng can find faults with all the weapons and props used by Chen Yiming in the film, even in the corner shots of the film.

From Type 28 rifles, magazine pouches, grenades, dry food bags, to crooked-neck machine guns, MP[-] submachine guns, and the grease gun Duan Yining carried on his back.

The nurse sister was even more surprised. It was obviously a very tense scene. When the plane swooped down and revealed its ferocious shark mouth, her heart was suspended.

Why did Mr. Li laugh? She didn't think this scene was funny.

But she thought again, it was better to watch with a smile than to watch nervously, at least there would be no risk of being overly excited.

Chen Yiming certainly doesn't know the mixed feelings of the audience. After a movie is made, it is like the final draft of a novel, and it has nothing to do with the creator himself.

This is exactly what Chen Yiming meant when he answered Chloe's question. After all, movies are made for the audience, and the vast majority of viewers do not have the knowledge and perspective of professionals. They watch movies simply for entertainment and relaxation. .

A war movie on the line of fire is already challenging the public's movie-viewing expectations if it does not directly refute the fire. If the planes and cannons are also skipped, it is tantamount to mocking the audience.

Therefore, even if he knew that he would "offend" judges and film critics like Pollack, Chen Yiming had to add special effects to complete the visual spectacle and not make the audience think that thirty yuan is too expensive.

Of course, you can't say this to reporters from the Cannes event. This circle is all about art. How tacky is it to ask for money?
