Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 91 Do you know about montage?

Dawn Wei.

It can be said that he is one of the founders of Chinese film and has shot countless precious historical documentaries.

A few years ago, he integrated his Huamei Film Company and his friend's Greater China Lily Film Company to form a far-reaching film company, Lianhua Pictures.

Lianhua Pictures has produced countless excellent films in recent years. However, during the war, Lianhua Pictures was shut down because it refused to cooperate with the Japanese.

Liming Wei was also a genuine patriot, and the relevant documentary films he shot later became one of the important evidence against the Japanese army.

At this moment, after listening to Bao Guowei's discussion, Liming Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at Zhang Taiyan with a strange expression.

Because Bao Guowei's remarks reminded him of several friends he had contacted.

It's not convenient to say it now, but I just feel that the young man in front of me is very kind.

Seize the core contradiction?

Look at the problem dialectically?

Filmmaking oriented towards the general public as a whole?

There are all masters from all walks of life who care about the country. It is not that everyone does not understand this truth, but it is difficult to combine it clearly and put it in front of them dialectically like a mathematical formula.

Moreover, what is surprising is that such meticulous language and logic actually comes from a high school student who is no more than eighteen years old.

After all, Bao Guowei restrained himself a lot, and a lot of what he wanted to say was simplified or deleted.

Otherwise, in today's era, if my too public words spread, someone will come to your door within a few days.

On the table, Bu Wancang was a little surprised for a moment.

He looked again and again at Bao Guowei's young face, but couldn't see anything outstanding except that he was a little handsome.

The only thing that stands out is his beautiful oily hair, which looks very fashionable, right?

He has never been seen in Shanghai's upper class society.

This young man actually has such knowledge?

Maybe it was Zhang Taiyan who taught him how to show off his style at the banquet?

He immediately shook his head. This topic was raised temporarily by Mr. Li, and Zhang Taiyan remained silent.

Bu Wanchang had never had much contact with the literary world. Recently, he had heard of Bao Guowei's name. He was just curious before, but now he wants to get to know him better.

Hu Die has been acting in movies since she was a child. She has not read a book for a few years. She has heard about it in the literary and art circles, so she has some knowledge.

But he still had to be introduced and explained by others before he could fully understand the meaning of Bao Guowei's words.

She is a thoughtful person, and after thinking about it carefully, her initial disapproval was completely put away.

Sitting upright, he began to focus his attention on Bao Guowei, feeling a little enlightened for a moment.

"This young man looks quite handsome? Of course, the key is that he has a deep mind."

Zhang Taiyan breathed a sigh of relief. This speech was still satisfactory, but as he thought about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He squinted his eyes and looked at his disciple, and there was always a feeling.

Bao Guowei seems to always learn something that has nothing to do with literature?

The homework I gave him was actually quite a lot.

For a moment, Zhang Taiyan became even more worried. From his perspective, people's energy is limited.

If Bao Guowei is like this, he will probably hurt Zhongyong in the future!

The expression on his face was tangled, as if he was thinking about whether to give Bao Guowei some extra homework or something.

But even though everyone at the table commented like this, there were still different voices.

Zhang Tianyu frowned and thought carefully about the words he heard. He is an extremely serious person and found very obvious loopholes in them.

Then he couldn't help but said: "What you said, little friend Bingwen, is indeed exquisite and beautiful. You mentioned that we should combine seriousness with entertainment, and expand the audience to tens of millions of ordinary people. This pattern is indeed huge. .”

He first praised it and then told the point of the problem.

"But there is still a problem. There is still a contradiction between seriousness and entertainment. Seriousness and entertainment are inherently conflicting in terms of storytelling. This can be seen in the art world, where many schools are distinct."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the table suddenly changed again.

Some people can't turn their heads, but now they feel that what Zhang Tianyu said is reasonable. No matter how you think about it, Bao Guowei's words seem like a linguistic trick.

Some people inevitably commented: "It's true. I was almost fooled by this young man, but it's pretty good to be able to do it to this extent."

Hu Die frowned her slender eyebrows. She actually wanted to refute Zhang Tianyu, but there was no ink in her head, so she could only look at Bao Guowei expectantly, hoping to get the answer from him.

Liming Wei tried to smooth things over and said: "Bingwen has already said it well. These remarks have opened my mind. Please don't be too harsh. After all, he is only seventeen years old!"

He thought about the age of seventeen very seriously, and looked at Bao Guowei with a very gentle look in his eyes, as if he was saying.

Dear Davarish! I am here!

Bao Guowei nodded gratefully to him, apparently unaware that his few words in the dark were actually regarded as one of his own in some people's hearts.

While he was thinking about it, he had already prepared his follow-up words, so he didn't hesitate at all.

"What Mr. Zhang said is indeed reasonable."

He affirmed at first, then smiled slightly and made a twist.

"But I'm not done yet!"

Wow! The banquet suddenly became noisy again, and everyone began to whisper to each other, especially Zhang Tianyu who expressed his objections. He frowned tightly and stared at the high-spirited Bao Guowei in the venue.

Zhang Taiyan, who was sitting next to him, stroked his forehead and pulled Bao Guowei's sleeve angrily, his eyes saying that.

You kid, please keep a low profile as a teacher and don't act like you're so awesome all the time. It won't end well!

But Bao Guowei not only refused to listen, but also turned around with a pure smile, his eyes seemed to be saying something. Master, don’t worry, my disciple knows what’s going on, just wait and see!

Zhang Taiyan's mouth twitched. Now he finally understood why Chu Huiseng had such a headache for Bao Guowei.

At this time, Bao Guowei finally spoke.

"Have you ever seen a movie called "Battleship Potemkin"? Do you know how to create montage?"

Speaking of the development of films in the 1930s, the rise and application of montage is a topic that cannot be avoided.

This film created by Sergei Eisenstein is a classic work of the application of montage theory to film.

More than 20 years later, it is still rated as the first of more than a dozen best films since the movie came out.

Bao Guowei previously used theory to discuss issues, which may have lacked credibility.

But if this movie is used as the starting point, I’m afraid no one will dare to question it.

At this time, sound films had just appeared in the world film industry and were still in their nascent stage of development.

Even the creative technique of montage has not yet been thoroughly spread and used. This is still a very novel concept in China.

Everyone in the venue was a little confused and couldn't understand!

But several people in the film industry nodded slightly.

When Bu Wanchang saw that the other party could actually name the movie, he immediately no longer had any doubts about Bao Guowei and said calmly.

"Bingwen is talking about Montage in French, right? This is a very advanced theory. Now we call this weaving. This translation is indeed a bit inappropriate. It is more appropriate to call it montage."

Most people in the venue had a look of realization on their faces.

"Oh~"

But they are all still half-informed.

Zhang Tianyu's curiosity was aroused, and he said seriously.

"No one has seen this movie very much. Bingwen, you can tell everyone about it and this dream."

But Liming Wei reacted immediately and quickly waved his hand and said: "Hey~ this movie is a little out of date nowadays. Bingwen, you just need to briefly describe the specific methods and techniques."

Bao Guowei understood what the other party meant, and for a moment he felt that Liming Wei was very friendly.

This movie, which was born out of the October Revolution, has been banned by almost all countries, not to mention the high-pressure control of the government today.

But what is on the table is different from what is under the table.

Privately, filmmakers are still very fond of this film, and the film resources are even available in many movie theaters.

Bao Guowei didn't want to be investigated, so he just used the video as an example.

He explained to everyone: “In this film, we use the technical story structure and profound picture composition, especially the metaphorical lens splicing technology,

Splicing different shots together creates new meanings in the picture, which in turn affects the audience's understanding! "

"This is what montage is all about!"

After some professional terminology was thrown out, the venue was silent for a while.

After a long time, someone finally caught up.

Director Bu Wanchang felt as if he was struck by lightning, as if inspired by something, he patted his thigh and said:

"Mentage! Montage! Yes! It's montage!"

He was extremely restrained, but he could not help but feel a little excited.

"So that's it! That's it! Using the technique of screen cutting, such as the presentation of the same scenery at different times, creates a new experience.

Not only does it make the audience feel the enjoyment of the film, but it can also highlight the educational significance that the director wants to express in the picture, so education and enjoyment are never in conflict! As long as it's done properly, even serious films can look good! "

Bu Wanchang must have seen this movie.

However, the montage theory is still in the development and exploration stage internationally, and everyone still has a little understanding of it.

Bao Guowei summarized the theories of later generations, and all of a sudden his doubts for days disappeared, and it was like being enlightened and enlightened.

"That's how it should be! That's how it should be!"

There was some trembling in his words, and he became more and more excited.

If he hadn't been opposite Bao Guowei, I would have wanted to hug him and kiss him hard.

Bao Guowei calmly pressed his hand, indicating that he was not done pretending yet, so please be quiet.

Then he returned to his previous argument and continued.

“The conflict is always only with the people who make the film. Are they willing to work hard to make a film that uses skills and is deeply polished?

Are you willing to set the pace of the movie's story and present a film that is both beautiful and educational?

Are you willing to get really serious about making movies?

Judging from the movie "Battleship Potemkin", this problem has never been a problem. "

He then bowed slightly and tilted the corners of his mouth, making a crooked dragon-like look.

Looking at the people in the field who were stunned by the attack, he said in an upbeat tone.

"Do you still understand, gentlemen?"
