Chapter 66: Film Aesthetics
There were three passengers in room 523, all paparazzi, who carried cameras of various sizes and lengths with them when the police took them away, and shouted that they were journalists and that they had been wronged.
After the police left, Li Xiuping approached the hotel's security manager, who said that his wallet was missing, that the three reporters who were taken away by the police were likely thieves, and that he wanted to check the surveillance video to see if the three reporters had entered his room.
The security manager agreed to Li Xiuping's request, Li Xiuping then checked the surveillance, he could be very sure that the three reporters opened the room in 523 after Li Xiuping and Reba entered the room of Da Mi Mi, that is to say, the reporters did not take photos of him and Reba entering Da Mi Mi's room, to put it transparently, there is no real hammer, even if they photographed Li Xiuping and Reba Da Mi Mi three people leaving the room together, Li Xiuping can also be interpreted as discussing the script together, so there is nothing to worry about in this matter.
After Da Mi Mi and Reba heard Li Xiuping's explanation, they both breathed a long sigh of relief, and then Da Mi Mi said that he wanted to shoot an advertisement, and Reba wanted to go back to school, and the three of them dispersed.
Two days later, Da Mi Mi squeezed out time and took a middle-aged man to meet Li Xiuping, who said that it was her aunt's cousin, named Chen Jianchen, graduated from a famous university, has many years of investment management experience, and has been an executive in the world's top 500 foreign-funded enterprises. After the three of them discussed, they signed several contract documents, and then went to the BJ Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register Angel Entertainment Company, Chen Jianchen is the legal representative of the new company, and is also the first president of the new company, Li Xiuping occupies seventy percent of the shares of the new company, Da Mi Mi accounts for three percent, and the equity is 64 points.
After Li Xiuping and Da Mi Mi each injected 50 million yuan, and then Li Xiuping became the shopkeeper, he asked Chen Jianchen to rent the new company's office space within two weeks, recruit employees from various departments, and make a running man shooting schedule. Da Mi Mi also didn't want to take care of things, she left a sentence and left after half a month. Li Xiuping couldn't fully trust Chen Jianchen, so he asked Liu Haoyu to come over with two fellow villagers to assist Chen Jianchen, so he left with confidence.
…………
It usually takes about half a month to approve the film shooting application, Li Xiuping didn't want to wait, so he started the preparation of the new film in advance, he spent five days making the film shooting schedule, and then began to recruit.
Li Xiuping's previous works are recruited online, there are no special requirements, basically experience is preferred, this time in addition to the two positions of photographer and art director, other positions, Li Xiuping is still the old rule, experience is enough, who will use who first.
As for the two positions of photographer and art director, Li Xiuping hopes to find excellent professionals with a reputation recognized by the industry. The reason why he attaches great importance to these two positions is because they are very important and they are closely related to the aesthetics of cinema.
Li Xiuping does not want his first big-screen work to be perceived by the audience as "as textureless as a TV series", in Li Xiuping's view, such an evaluation is the most pessimistic and painful for a film director, because such an evaluation shows that the director has no entry at all.
Movies and TV series are both through images to express a story and a theme, there is actually no essential difference between the two, but film in the twentieth century was widely known as the "eighth art", and has the concept of "film aesthetics", relatively speaking, compared with TV series, movies seem to be more high-end, people talk about the difference between the two, the most point is that movies have texture, while TV series do not.
The "texture" here is the aesthetics of the film, that is, the image in the camera lens.
The film aesthetics of the national teacher is the extraordinary use of bright colors, and the colors of his films are generally very bright and contrasting, and the early "Red Lantern High Melon" is even more wonderful, and every frame is a color painting of the Republic of China.
Wang Jiawei's film aesthetics is the use of light and shadow, color and lens, the masterpiece "In the Mood for Love", different colors, different brightness, different photography angles have different meanings, not only the visual effect is good, there are points worth digging under each lens.
Hou Xiaoxian's film aesthetics is a fine traditional inner show type, which is very meaningful, in "Thorn Ke Nie Yinniang", from the environmental layout to the character costume to the light and shadow, it is just right, not too eye-catching, but the picture is very beautiful as a whole, just like an ancient Chinese ink painting, at first glance I think it is okay, the more I look at it, the more I look at it, the more interesting it is.
National teacher Hou Xiaoxian: These are positive examples, their movies take a single clip, and ordinary people will generally think that this is a clip from a movie after watching it, because these movies have texture.
Like Deng Chao's "Master of Hands", there is almost no "composition" in the whole movie, and the ups and downs of the plot rely on line dialogue, without any sense of refinement in the use of the lens, such a movie is very "flat" on the lens, without a trace of aesthetics at all.
Worse than Deng Chao is "Brain Tianzhu" directed by Bao Qiang, "Master of the Hands" has no lens language, but at least it looks like a film and television work, "Brain Tianzhu" is really a playful work for children under the age of ten, the use of color is chaotic, the use of light and shadow is chaotic, the shooting angle is illogical, not to mention the plot, the picture alone is unappetizing.
Li Xiuping thinks that the main reason is that the directors look at the world from different angles, and compared with Hou Xiaoxian, a national teacher, there is a gap between ordinary people and great artists and poets.
For example, when the wind rises, Deng Chao's angle is that the wind is blowing, so wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold, which is the reaction of normal people, so his movies are very "flat".
Baoqiang's angle is the wind, hahaha, the wind blows my bangs, I must be handsome, this is the angle of the neurotic protagonist of "Brain Tianzhu", so this movie is messy and inexplicable.
In the eyes of the national teacher, the wind is up, there are dark clouds, and the sky is darker, but the leaves are still so green, the flowers are still so bright, life is still so strong, and the world is still so beautiful.
In Hou Xiaoxian's view, why didn't I find out that the wind came quietly? Was it because my health was not good? Or did I miss my friend too much and forgot everything around me? When the wind comes to me, can I bring my blessings and blow it to my friend, this is a poet's perspective, so his films are very meaningful.
Different perspectives on the world affect the film lenses of directors, Li Xiuping's current artistic attainments are naturally not as good as those of the national teacher and Hou Xiaoxian, but he believes that he has his own unique perspective on the world, he believes that his films have aesthetics, and now he is looking for a reliable photographer and an art director who is good at expression, and he needs them to help him sketch the world in his mind.
It's just that Li Xiuping asked Gao Gao Shan and Liu Shengli, and they didn't have relevant information, and the good domestic photographers had already been booked by the big directors, where to get Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping was extremely distressed, he looked around, but found no reliable photographer.
Da Mi Mi listened to Li Xiuping's confession and enlightened: "In a few days, it will be the BJ International Film Festival, and when the time comes, many foreign production teams will come to BJ, you can go and have a look, maybe you can find the talent you need." ”
The BJ International Film Festival was held in late April, and with the growing strength of China, more and more films were exhibited, and more and more foreign counterparts came every year.
