130. The appetite is not small
The dispute between Huo Jianqi and Kang Jianmin finally ended with Huo Jianqi trying.
Edit it yourself.
"Just look at it. ”
"I'm going to see what tricks you'll come up with. ”
Kang Jianmin didn't have any prejudices against Huo Jianqi, but judged purely from his own experience, if Huo Jianqi really conquered him, he would not stubbornly insist on his own opinions.
In the past, when Ning Yuan watched movies, he didn't analyze them much from the perspective of appreciation, but now that he participated, he found that Huo Jianqi's level was very high.
The storyline of the film is simple, but in Huo Jianqi's wonderful hands, they are combined like a string of pearls, and the scattered materials are immediately full of vitality.
His tireless portrayal of the beautiful scenery of Xiangxi not only did not weaken the narrative process, but under his unique film technique, it was integrated with the narrative, complementing each other, showing a moving audio-visual language.
Now that I think about it, the colors and pictures of the movie did leave a deep impression on Ning Yuan, if the film can score nine points, the part outside the plot will definitely account for half of the credit.
The biggest visual impact is his use of long lenses, the dark green of the distant mountains, the colorful colors of green and yellow in the fields, and the sparkling dark green pond in the distant view, which is clearly layered and pleasing to the eye.
The haze of a rainy day, the splendor of the sun, the softness of the sunset, the blend of light and shadow, in Ning Yuan's opinion, none of the directors he worked with back then could compare.
Of course, this is also related to the atmosphere and equipment during Ning Yuan's acting period.
In Ning Yuan's previous life, he mostly made idol dramas because of his image in the early days, and later his acting skills came up, he became famous, and he began to have good dramas looking for him, but at that time, they were already digital movies and TV series, and film had long been extinct.
Otherwise, the 12-year-old "Yangtze River Map" would not be known as the absolute sound of film films.
Film shooting, better presenting the rarely seen Yangtze River scene and ink texture. The Yangtze River is vast, and the fog on the river is like a fairyland, which also adds a little mystery to the story of the hero's past and present lives.
The film also lived up to expectations and won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution (Photography) at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival.
Speaking of which, the director of this movie and Ning Yuan are fellow villagers, both are Xinyi people, called Yang Chao, after Ning Yuan entered the industry, he met him by chance, because he was six years older than Ning Yuan, so Ning Yuan called him Brother Chao.
Like Jia Zhangke, he is a little stubborn, and Yang Chao also said to Ning Yuan:
"In fact, the preference for film is also the obsession of a small number of directors with their own memories, and in my eyes, making movies is not only a kind of work, but also the embodiment of my dreams.
How could we not know that more and more high-tech digital means will bring more powerful functions than film. But we also need the sense of ritual that film brings, to arouse a sense of responsibility and honor among photographers. ”
Of course, "Wuwen Xidong", which was released in 18, broke Yang Chao's record and made his Yangtze River map the penultimate film movie.
Regardless of the west, the excellent texture of the image is also a plus, and the bright picture shines with the light and shadow of youth, fresh and charming.
But in fact, this movie took six years, and it was actually made in 12 years.
It is equivalent to saying that 12 years later, until Ning Yuan returns, at least there will be no more film films in China.
At this moment, in the 99 years that Ning Yuan is in, digital is still a new thing, and directors prefer to use film, not to mention Huo Jianqi, who has a persistent pursuit of beauty.
Film has no pixels, it can completely restore the scenery in the lens, and the clarity is very high.
Digital video cameras, on the other hand, have limitations, even if the pixel is very high, the picture is still composed of a point, that is, pixels.
In addition, the color performance of film is difficult to compare with that of digital equipment. Film can more delicately reflect the details and atmosphere of the scene, such as color, light changes, shadow tones and other aspects are more accommodating than digital can be tolerated.
Nolan, the director of "Inception" and "Interstellar", also said: "Directors who love to use film are somewhat idealized in color and literary temperament. ”
And when it came to Quentin Tarantino, he even said the controversial remark that "digital movies are just watching TV in movie theaters".
Ning Yuan felt that Yang Chao was right.
It's good to have persistence, but if you don't keep up with the times, you will eventually be eliminated, and only self-absorption remains.
After all, film and television works are made for the public, not your director's self-entertainment, and directors who do not respect the public will be slapped in the face by reality.
Huo Jianqi cut a section and showed it to them a day later, and Kang Jianmin didn't say anything anymore.
But Huo Jianqi still remembered the 'hatred', and said with a smile: "How is it?"
"Aren't you very bad at words?" Kang Jianmin said angrily.
Huo Jianqi was unimpressed: "But now I suddenly want to speak freely." ”
Kang Jianmin stared at him, while Ning Yuan, Teng Rujun and Huo Jianqi's wife Su Xiaowei were all amused.
Next, they continued to select materials, and the final decision was still in Huo Jianqi's hands.
This is not a word, a movie, if the lens language is not uniform, it is not a good thing, and it is not Ning Yuan who vetoes all their suggestions, they will still listen.
After staying in the film studio for three days, Ning Yuan and Teng Rujun returned to Beijing together, while Huo Jianqi and his wife had to stay and continue to do post-production.
Kang Jianmin sent the two to the airport.
With the lessons of the past, no one dares to let Ning Yuan go to the train station again, not to mention Shacheng Station, even if he is allowed to do it, Ning Yuan will not be able to go, and he will not go to death!
Outside the airport, Ning Yuan said to Kang Jianmin:
"Director Kang, I have some ideas, I have been hesitant before, but after thinking about it, I decided to tell you. ”
"I feel that our film has a good chance of winning the Golden Pheasant Awards this year, so I think we should send it to the selection first, and then talk about the release after the results come out. ”
Looking at Kang Jianmin's thoughtful expression, Ning Yuan finally said what he thought:
"For distribution, I also have some relationship in this regard, and when the time comes, if you need it, I am very willing to run this job, not only in our country, but also overseas. ”
Of course, this is a fool, but in life, how can you talk about business without bragging?
After a pause, Ning Yuan smiled and said, "But I'm not running for nothing, you have to give me a commission!"
After Kang Jianmin was stunned, he also laughed and patted Ning Yuan on the shoulder: "You kid, your appetite is not small. ”
After laughing, Kang Jianmin nodded, did not accept or refuse, but did not say anything to death:
"Okay, I'll think about it, if it's really necessary at that time, I won't forget what you said today. ”
Ning Yuan also smiled, and said in his heart: Even if there are awards, as far as those old men in your factory are concerned, it is strange that they can make a name for themselves in terms of distribution.
