Chapter 643: The Movie Masters Are Stunned! (Second Update)
Chen Jiaxuan likes this "Rejuvenation" very much, this gift is very intimate!
She edited a text message and replied to Lin Han: "It's very well written, but don't write a tragedy next time, I cried with eye makeup." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Originally, noon was the time for dinner and rest, and there were many white-collar workers and students in the same situation as Chen Jiaxuan, and they were all moved by the novel that Lin Han suddenly bubbled up.
The story of Benjamin Barton who lived his life in a way that defied all scientific laws, this is not a movie with a grand narrative, this is not a movie that reflects a historical change in a person's life, this is just Benjamin's story!
This is a novel about life itself, although the protagonist has such a magical state of old to young, but he does not have any magnificent place, and he does not feel the slightest epic atmosphere.
Benjamin didn't fit into the decades of America's fascinating history like Forrest Gump, and he didn't even do much in his life, but that's true.
Many people think that this novel is a bit like a narrative essay, but this is not necessarily the case, it is obvious that turning back life is a very fantastical thing, but Lin Han handles it extremely delicately.
In fact, if you think about it, you will understand that even if a person is really born like an old man and then dies like a baby, there is nothing unusual about him to the vast majority of people except his relatives, and at most it is just a strange story!
The strange things in the eyes of others are his fantastic life.
The novel is not long, and the content of 18,000 words will be read in ten minutes even if you read it slowly, so Lin Han's Weibo suddenly became very lively, and many people simply called friends to forward it and let their friends read this novel!
What does it matter if it's not science fiction?
Who dictated that science fiction writers can't write some of the other genres?
As long as the novel is exciting enough, no one cares about these things at all, just like Lin Han wrote "Red Roses and White Roses" before!
"When I saw the rejuvenation, I thought about immortality, both of which are fantastical, but also full of pain. Lin Han must have been full of tenderness when dealing with this novel, did not pursue thrilling, and returned to the essence of life. Life is like a small river that flows quietly, but one day when it starts to flow backwards, it is no different!"
"Just now a colleague cried and recommended this novel to me, and after reading it, I found that it was worthy of its name, and it was really well written! Dying in the arms of a baby is both sad and romantic. ”
"After reading the novel, there is an inexplicable sadness. We always lose loved ones, or how can we feel how important they are?"
"The sentences written by Mr. Lin are unforgettable, and almost every sentence can be copied and put in a notebook. Benjamin's old age, his former love, and his former years, at a certain moment, can only gently let go and obediently go to death. ”
"I haven't seen Mr. Lin's new work for a long time, and it happened that "Hyperion" was nominated for the Goncourt Prize, and I thought it would be an extraneous story about scholars, although I was a little disappointed, but I was also very happy. Thank you Mr. Lin for bringing such a touching work!"
"Forward it to my girlfriend to see, but she is crying at this time, how can I comfort her, it's in a hurry, wait online!"
"This is the saddest love I've ever seen, the one who is obviously right, but the time is always wrong. When they met, she was delicate and lovely, but he was pale, when she approached, he was not prepared, and when he ran back to make amends, she had the rest of the people around her. went around and around, and when it was really at the midpoint of life, the two were together. ”
"Although I am a boy, I think this novel is very good, both family and love are precious. I've seen a lot of fairy tales or love stories before, and the ending is always after parting and suffering, and finally happiness and reunion. In mathematical terms, these are two lines that are constantly approaching and eventually paralleling. But Benjamin and Daisy are two lines that intersect, and they rarely intersect, most of the time they go in opposite directions!"
The overwhelming praise poured in, but there was also a lot of criticism, especially among readers who were waiting for a sequel to Hyperion.
No matter how good the novel is, there will be people who don't like it, everyone's hobbies are different, Lin Han can only try his best to meet the preferences of readers, if he can't meet it, then there is no way!
"The narrative of the novel is a little too flat, and the whole film has no special attraction and depth, that is, it tells a story in reverse order in a decent manner, and the rhythm drags on to death. ”
"Benjamin's life struggled with only one woman, no high tide, and very procrastinating. With so many people crying, how low are your tears?"
"Am I the only one who doesn't like the love story written by Lin Han?"
"I seem to understand it, but I don't seem to understand it, and I don't understand what the author wants to tell us. ”
……
Lin Han originally wrote a short story specially for Chen Jiaxuan, as long as she likes it, whether others praise or disapprove it can't affect his mood.
This is the product of a morning of impromptu writing, and it can't stand up to scrutiny, because creatively it's a fantasy story, and it can't happen!
Some readers belong to the type that is too realistic, and they are stunned to find truth in a story that is not very reliable, and even compare it with other movies and novels.
Now that the news of the completion of "The Matrix" has been circulating on the Internet for a long time, the finalized poster has also been announced, and the actors have returned to the public eye one by one, but this does not mean that the movie is completed and waiting to be released.
Maybe many people think that movies are released after filming, how simple things it is!
But they see all this as too simple, especially for science fiction films that require a lot of post-production, and Lin Han is now looking at the footage in a rented editing room, and he has hired only a special editor, but only an editing assistant.
For a movie, the big skeleton of editing has never changed, and each editor's work details and work habits are different.
Lin Han used numbered folders and subfolders to classify the footage, and then copied it into the bins of different scenes, in addition to multiple folders such as music, sound effects, invalids, and spare materials.
After the memory of the original book and the practice of the previous "Immortality", Lin Han is not a novice in editing, he loves the material he shoots very much, but the time is too long, and he has to cut out a part to make the rhythm compact and exciting!
"After the movie is released and makes money, I have to get a dedicated editing room and workbench. ”
Lin Han said to himself, renting someone else's studio is not convenient and there is a risk of material leakage, where is it easy to have your own.
Ordinary editors and directors are separated, because directors are reluctant to edit every shot they shoot, these two jobs are closely integrated, and directors must fully communicate with editors in order to edit good works!
Once the original owner filmed "Out of the Solar System" lost the editing right, and the final version was edited by the editor according to the script and the preferences of the investor, and it became a space romance.
If the original owner's director's cut version is used, the reputation will not be so bad, after all, the original owner uses a wonderful and twisty plot to cover up the lack of special effects shots.
So now Lin Han firmly holds the editing power in his hands, not to mention that he has the finished movie of the original "The Matrix" in his head as a reference, so he naturally knows what these shots are useful for and how to deal with them!
When Zheng Shuping arrived at the editing room, what he saw was Lin Han using the mouse and keyboard shortcuts to roughly piece together the timeline.
Editing is also a process of re-creation for the material, and top editors can even turn decay into magic and save a bad movie!
"Director Zheng, why are you here?"
Lin Han accidentally aimed at the reflection on the computer screen, he quickly took off the headphones, and then stood up, as if a primary school student had seen a teacher.
Zheng Shuping's figure was a little rickety, and he said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I happened to be here to see an old friend, and I heard that you cut a movie here, so I came over to take a look." ”
As a legendary figure who has won the best director at the three major European film festivals twice, Lin Han certainly wants Zheng Shuping to guide him and see if there is anything that needs to be changed on his side.
"It just so happens that I have a special effects shot here, Director Zheng will help me take a look!"
So, he switched the headphones to sound mode, and then played the content on the computer to a larger screen, which is the special effect done by the special effects company - bullet time!
On the screen, Neo, played by Chu Guang, fought with Agent Smith on the roof of the building, only to see the ruthless Smith played by Xu Jiayan take out the Desert Eagle and bang a few shots, at this time Neo seemed to be unavoidable.
When he was about to be beaten into a sieve, the whole picture seemed to be slowed down, and Neo actually leaned back to avoid the bullets!
These bullets made arcs in the air, but they were perfectly dodged by Neo's iron bridge, the handsome Neo trench coat was opened, and the circular lens captured this moment from multiple aspects.
Zheng Shuping couldn't help but widen his eyes, "This is a 360-degree shot with no dead ends, how did you shoot it?" It looks a bit like slow motion, but it's not. ”
Lin Han was very proud, he explained: "These were shot with hundreds of cameras almost at the same time, in fact, there were no bullets when shooting, and this bullet was added during post-production. ”
"It seems that I am really old, you young people are creative, this shot can definitely leave its own footprints in film history!"
Zheng Shuping, as a generation of film masters, is well-informed, but he can't help but be surprised by Lin Han's bullet time, just with this shot, I'm afraid fans won't forget this movie!
