"You need at least ten basic routines that you can repeat, and then you need three or four routines for each type, and these routines need to be detailed, when you can shoot in what way, from top to bottom, left to right, backlight or forward light, and so on. If the character's emotions are sad, there are several ways to express them, how to place the hands and feet, how to change the facial features, and how to place the hands and feet, and how to change the facial features if the character's emotions are fast. In this way, when shooting, let the actors and directors arrange and combine according to the actual situation, which saves a lot of things. Li Xu continued at this time.

Isabel showed a stunned gaze, and Li Xu was still saying: "The two versions of "Queen Margot" have proven the feasibility of the routine, and the next step is to further study how to initially streamline it, and it will take a lot of work. ”

"What do you think of cinema art!" she finally asked, her tone stern, her eyes tingling with anger and her hands clenched into fists.

But after asking, he didn't say anything more, but looked at him and waited for his explanation, which was put in the past, even if he didn't slap the table and left, he would turn his head and look like he didn't want to talk to you.

Therefore, Li Xu still changed her a lot.

"Of course it's a money-making tool," he laughed, "I'm a capitalist, and the assembly line is the best money-making model at the moment, and it would be a great thing if I could create a film assembly line production model." ”

In fact, in another time and space, Hollywood has made enough attempts in this regard, and summed up a set of effective formulas. For example, you need to find themes from comics, and you need to find young people to play the main role, etc.

In a word, self-esteem defeats danger, human affection defeats technology, morality defeats intelligence, countryside defeats the city, childhood defeats adulthood, innocence defeats violence, the weak defeat the strong, beginners defeat scholars, confidence defeats capital, will defeats power, the individual defeats the collective, goodness defeats prejudice, justice defeats evil, and light defeats darkness.

The life of real ordinary people is very boring and boring, everyone enters the cinema just to relax for dozens of minutes, and substitute the protagonist in his fantasy to pursue something that can only be recalled in his dreams after adulthood.

At this time, you especially feed the audience, how does the green hat abuse make people uncomfortable, if you feed it well, you can guide the audience to look at the problem from the perspective of a bystander and think. But if you can't even tell the story clearly, you have to feed Xiang bluntly, so that the audience will suddenly be glued after entering it, if you can go on stage and beat people without breaking the law at the end of the movie, the audience will definitely be full of old punches to the director and producer.

However, these formulas and routines have enriched the tools of filmmakers at most, and with more convenient molds, some producers who are not very talented can also smoothly produce movies with good box office, but in the final analysis, it is still a handicraft workshop.

What Li Xu wants is a real assembly line, even if it is a newcomer director and a newcomer actor who has just come out, as long as they have a certain foundation, they can honestly follow this process to make a movie, and if they don't think about showing themselves and art, they can make a decent movie that can pass the time.

There is no way, just those people in the mainland, they can't teach good directors at all, those movies that break box office records in another time and space, and the director who is in charge of the director is either from Hong Kong or halfway home.

Li Xu estimated that if he could really make an assembly line, there would be more people who wanted to become directors halfway, and there would be a reference, right?

As for Hollywood, where capital speaks, this kind of thing will only be welcomed and will not be rejected. It didn't affect those art film directors, how they played before, and how they will play in the future.

Anyway, he has time, energy, and money in this life, so he can't make life as lonely as snow, right?

And then Isabel doesn't think so much: "You're destroying the art of cinema!"

When she said this, her lips were pursed tightly, and her chest was visibly heaved together, and she looked really angry. After all, she is a French girl, and she knows very well that Li Xu has the ability and strength to do this, and in the past few years, he has never hidden from her what he has done.

"I think there are two things that need to be corrected. Li Xu smiled disapprehantly, "First of all, you can never deny that the first attribute of movies is entertainment, and secondly, I'm sorry, I really don't think that an industry that is less than 100 years old can have any art at all." ”

Isabel's face immediately changed, but Li Xu didn't give her a chance to speak: "Do you think François Truffaut can compete with Leonardo da Vinci in art, Isa?"

"When...... Of course not. Isabel held for a long time before saying this, reluctantly, and immediately defended: "They can't be compared together, they are all in different directions." ”

"It's essentially the same," Li Xu refuted unceremoniously, "it's all about accumulation, and then quantitative change causes qualitative change, and then captures the beauty that occurs when qualitative change." Leonardo da Vinci spent a lifetime depicting this beauty, and his work transcended time, until now The Smile of the Mona Lisa is one of the finest works of the Renaissance. And can Truffaut's film be praised like this after spanning a long enough time?"

Isabel frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't know how to argue with it.

"Do you know the difference between Leonardo da Vinci and Truffaut in art?" Li Xu suddenly asked again.

Isabel, whose IQ was suppressed, could only shake her head unconvinced.

"To put it simply, every stroke of Leonardo da Vinci was painted by himself, every color was adjusted by himself, every detail was observed by himself, and he could express his feelings through his own hands and brushes as much as possible. And Truffaut, he needs to tell the actor how to play the next shot, tell the gaffer how to play the next shot, tell the photographer how to shoot the next shot, and what he wants to express in the end is really all his own?" asked Li Xu with a smile.

Without waiting for Isabel to speak, he immediately spoke again: "I know, you will definitely say that movies embody the director's will after all, especially art films, and I don't deny that, but ...... When it comes to external performance, it is the actor, the gaffer, and the photographer after all, and it is inevitable that it will be contaminated with their thoughts and feelings. In other words, Truffaut's work is not as pure as Leonardo da Vinci's. In terms of limit coordinates, they are both infinitely close to zero, but Leonardo da Vinci may only be a few millimeters or even a few micrometers away from the coordinate line, and Truffaut is at least measured in meters, so ......"

Li Xu smiled meaningfully: "Leonardo da Vinci is an artist, while Truffaut and these so-called filmmakers are at best craftsmen. ”

A long silence ensued, and Isabel stared at the coffee cup in front of her steadily, not saying anything until he knocked lightly on the table: "Isa?"

"You're all done, what else can I say. Isabel said with resentment.

Li Xu smiled dumbly, and was about to speak, but a somewhat stiff English came from next to him: "Do you want to buy flowers, sir?"
