The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1300: Nepotism
As a member of the film festival jury, they are not as relaxed as imagined. They must maintain a high degree of concentration and watch 20 difficult art films in just twelve days. The action is two and a half hours or three hours. There are also media interviews and social parties, which are under high frequency and intensity almost every day
This is just the main competition unit. If necessary, they may need to watch more.
The media often rumors that a certain judge fell asleep while watching the movie. This is not slander, but fact. But they cannot be blamed. The judging work of the film festival is a severe test of mental and physical strength; coupled with certain art films, the rhythm is indeed slow and it is easy for people to fall asleep. The judges are mortals after all.
Obviously, Li Ang was ridiculing, complaining, or complaining about Lan Li's words just now.
Lan Li didn't care at all, his smile bloomed openly, and his mood rose, "How can you be sure that I am not refreshed because I enjoy the film festival too much?"
"Sophistry. Everyone knows that Lanly-Hall is very eloquent, and I refuse to argue with you." Li Ang said pretendingly, but his eyes were full of smiles, as if he had seen the elders close to the younger generation.
At this year's Oscars ceremony, Lan Li and Ang Lee had a relationship.
The brief conversation left a deep impression. The interpretation of Eastern culture in the movie "The Fantasy Drifting of Juvenile School", the viewpoints and insights of Reincarnation, Fate, and Philosophy made Li Ang's eyes. bright.
Although this work is highly praised in Hollywood, few Western film critics can truly understand the profoundness and complexity of Eastern culture. Western filmmakers have peeped into Eastern culture, often with a curious perspective, depicting an Eastern country in their impression, but they are far away from the true Eastern culture.
As a "British" Lan Li, his interpretation and understanding are even more commendable. That conversation really left a deep impression on Li Ang.
"How about it, did you see any work worth discussing this time?" Li An asked with a smile, and he actually began to test and teach, continuing the attitude of the elders.
"'Adele's life'." Lan Li's answer was simple and clear without any hesitation, and then saw Li Ang's mouth slightly lifted up, raised his right hand, and lightly tapped Lan Li twice, again It was helpless, funny, and blamed. Lan Li didn't quibble, and opened his hands calmly, "I knew you would like it."
If Ang Lee’s film brushstrokes show the Western world in the eyes of an Easterner, then "Adele’s Life" shows the Western world in the eyes of the French, with life-like fragments delicately capturing the difficulties and difficulties of the middle class. confused. This is precisely the style that Ang Lee loves.
So, Lan Li answered like this, is it catering to Ang Lee's preferences?
Li Ann laughed dumbly and deliberately made things difficult, "Do you think I like it as an audience or as a judge?"
"Both." Lan Li replied straightforwardly. Looking at Li Ang's irrefutable expression, Lan Li gently chinked, with a smile in his eyes.
Ang Li deliberately scowled, "Then, do you think I would like "Drunk Country Folk Songs"?"
"As an audience or as a judge?" Lan Li applied the same sentence to Ang Li in turn, but the effect was completely different.
Li An was stunned for a moment, and then he tasted it. After all, he didn’t say anything. He shook his head with a smile on his face, “You, you.” Then, he changed the subject and didn’t talk too much about the movie, because of his body. As a judge, he must remain objective and avoid talking about movies as much as possible during the film festival. This is true for everyone.
So, just click until you finish. He then changed the topic, "How about it, are you ready to start acting again?"
"Are you preparing for a new work?" Lan Li's eyes brightened slightly, and he asked in a brisk tone, "You know, if it is a work directed by you, I have absolutely no problem."
Lan Li is serious.
In fact, after "the fantasy drifting of the juvenile school", Ang Lee, like many directors, began to explore the depth and thickness of the film story that the language of the lens gave to the film. So he used 3d technology and 12o frame new technology to shoot " Billy Lynn’s midfield battle".
According to experiments, the visual persistence time of the human eye is about 0.1 second, so as long as the screen switching is greater than twelve frames per second, the human eye will connect the persisted image of the previous frame with the next frame. Get up to form a continuous visual experience.
Generally speaking, movies use 24 frame rates, that is, 24 frames per second can be seen. This is the lowest point that movies can make the eyes not feel stuttered in the Ming era. Initially, in order to save film, it has been retained until now. , More is a kind of inheritance of habit.
The 12o frame rate means that there will be 120 pictures per second, which is five times higher, which means that the pictures will be more detailed, richer and more specific, but at the same time, the human eye will also be under greater pressure. Even unable to process enough information to cause fatigue and sleepiness.
For the director and the audience, they can more clearly and accurately capture the performance details and inner changes of each character, and truly bring the audience into the inner world of the character. For Ang Lee, the 12o frame is undoubtedly a pioneering technology that takes his strengths to the extreme.
Unfortunately, "Billy Lynn's midfield battle" failed. The reputation of the media will not collapse, but it is far below expectations; the box office results and the prospects for the awards season are even more misleading. This also makes many fans questioned Lee Ang's ability.
There are two main reasons for the failure of this work.
First, Ang Lee tried to understand the impact of the Iraq War on American soldiers from his perspective, but his usual strengths became weaknesses this time. His Eastern values failed to poke the Americans’ itch. The entire core values were Missed, this also means that the 12o frame technology has not been able to further amplify the expected resonance and enhance its influence and penetration.
Second, the 12o frame technology magnifies the performance of the actors to the extreme, which also means that performance is the foundation and architecture that supports Ang Lee’s entire creative core, but Christine Stewart and Van Diesel appear in the list of actors. , Garnett-Hedland and many other actors, their performances often lack facial expressions and eye depth, and the levels and details are completely insufficient. In the 12o frame technology, the shortcomings of rigid performance are further magnified, and further Affected the sublimation of the core theme.
In other words, "Billy Lynn's midfield battle" is a work that was well-conceived but executed incorrectly, and ultimately failed to achieve the expected results.
But after the work failed, Ang Lee insisted that his idea was correct and that he would continue to study the movie-watching experience brought by this technology. The next work will also continue to use 12o frame technology to complete the shooting.
If the director is Ang Lee, even if he knows that the next work is "Billy Lynn's midfield battle", Lan Li is willing to take over. It is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration with such a talented director. Lan Li is willing to be bold. Try. Sometimes things are not judged and selected based solely on success or failure.
Ang Li could feel the enthusiasm in Lan Li's eyes, and he didn't have the slightest doubt, but still couldn't help but joked, "Is it okay even if it's the Hulk?"
"The Hulk", this commercial film is the biggest failure of Lee Ang's career. Leaving aside the quality of the finished work, it is certain that Ang Lee's style is really not suitable for commercial films, and his delicate and gentle is more suitable for emotional communication and dialogue.
What's more, the Hulk is a Marvel series.
"...Uh, can we change the topic?" Lan Li pretended to be embarrassed and looked away with a guilty conscience. But it was precisely this kind of "powerful" reaction that successfully made Li An He clapped his hands and laughed happily.
Few people know that Ang Lee is a personality who likes to make jokes in private, and that he is not shy about topics. It is a far cry from the style of his work.
"What? What are you talking about? Don't you know that it is best to keep a distance between the film festival judges and the main creative team of the main competition work to avoid nepotism?"
A voice with a deep smile came from right in front. Ang Lee and Lan Li both turned their heads, and then saw the figure of Steven Spielberg. He strode over. "If you want to get closer, at least you can't be in front of reporters, and it's still on the red carpet, which is not good."
However, Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "If it's for a closer relationship, isn't it a better choice in front of reporters?"
Steven and Ang Li both exchanged glances, and at the same time they chuckled. In the end, Steven put his hands behind his back, posing as an elder, "You better look forward to it. Tonight's movie is a movie. Excellent masterpiece, your outstanding performance, otherwise I would never show mercy at the jury discussion."
Lan Li made a polite nod, and then closed his mouth in a well-behaved manner.
There was no answer, the action was first, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
The two big directors couldn’t help laughing again. Steven patted Lan Li’s arm and said, "Go in. Nicole sent me out to save you. You have been on the red carpet for nearly an hour, but obviously, The reporters still didn't let you off. But more importantly, we are all waiting impatiently. When will the movie be available?"
