The picture slowly rises, from a level view to a downward view, and the light rain falls down intensively, blooming ripples in the stagnant water, reflecting the cloudy sky, and the whole world is plunged into boundless darkness.

Josh sat on the ground on his knees, hugging Kate in his arms tightly, the warm body lost its temperature little by little, the gaudy and wanton red dress gradually calmed down, as if the vitality was slowly disappearing, the flamboyant and magnificent fishtail skirt bloomed proudly in the pouring rain like a touch of sunset, bursting out of the last remnants of vitality, and then gradually recovering to loneliness. Josh held the pistol in his left hand and placed it lightly on the red of the sky, the calm but sharp silver contrasting with the bits of broken diamonds on the hem of his skirt.

Beautiful composition, beautiful color, beautiful shot! All one qiē is so perfect.

This is Frank's comic, and it is his famous work, he knows every detail of the story in it, but after the picture is detached from the comic plane and evolved into a video, the powerful visual impact presented completely conquers Frank.

After reading the materials and storyboards that Cole handed him over, Frank knew that Lance was a talented director who had brought the Sin City comics themselves to the screen in their entirety and authenticity - not an adaptation but an interpretation, and Lance's visual art was a striking way to capture the comics' distinct style.

However, storyboard drawing is still a sketch after all, and even if the visual impact is obvious, it is very limited. Not to mention. Frank himself is a master of comics, and those sketches are still too amateurish and too immature for him. So, Frank came today with some curiosity and a hint of provocation, on the one hand, curious about the story blueprint that Lance had constructed, and on the other hand, he wanted to condescendingly tell Lance that the comic book adaptation was not so simple - and it was "Sin City".

Now, Frank was speechless. He opened his mouth and looked up at Lance, only to see a pair of calm eyes—calm not because he was out of the way, but because of the confidence of his strong inner self-confidence, not arrogant, not triumphant, not domineering, but with irrefutable firmness. Frank tries to say something, but finds that his brain is completely in a state of failure. In the end, I could only look back at the screen again, put on another earbud, and hit the play button.

Re-watching it reduces the novelty of the first viewing, but the shock effect is even more pronounced, because Frank can notice details that he didn't notice the first time, and the lifelike images are exactly movie shots, but in a thoroughly comic style. He really managed to bring the visuals and lighting effects of the original Sin City comics to life, and Lance also injected his own characteristics.

For example, the way the two actors act.

Frank couldn't believe it. On the screen are two vases, Josh and Kate - these two actors have been criticized by countless people for "jerky and stiff acting", but in Lance's lens, the retro charm of the golden age on the two people becomes glamorous against the backdrop of black and white images, and the interpretation and interpretation between gestures have an indescribable charm.

Frank didn't know what acting was all about, and he didn't know how to put on a good performance. But he knows that Josh and Kate can easily present the nature of the characters, and he can even paint the stories behind the two characters in his mind, one is a suave and handsome boy, but he is a cold-blooded killer. It's like the evil James Bond; One is a lonely and fragile canary, determined to get out of his cage and bravely stand up to the powerful forces that oppress him......

There is no need to explain at all, the image of the character has already emerged. If none of this is a good performance, then Frank doesn't know what the critics are asking for. What's more, the video is only three minutes long, and in just three minutes, Lance has accomplished such a huge project - not only to make the comics realistic, not only to stylize the images, but also to give life to the characters, that Frank can't wait to see the rest of the story...... What is happening in this city shrouded in boundless darkness?

"So, how did you do that?" After Frank watched the video for the third time, the excitement and turbulence in his heart finally did not hold back, and he took off the earbuds and asked directly.

"A green screen, then a high-definition digital camera, and finally the special effects department added the comic pattern to the background." Lance didn't hide it, and simply said how he filmed it.

Frank found that he had no idea about any of these things, and could only look at Lance dumbfounded, "You can do this?" "Meaning, can such an effect be achieved in the way Lance said?

Lance nodded, "Yes, every frame is painted in the way that preserves the style of the comic book to the greatest extent, but it is interpreted in the way of a movie. Lance clicked the play button, using the video as a template, and explained, "In the movie, all the scenes will follow the style of the comics, and the character design will be redesigned based on the comics, trying to find a balance between reality and comics as much as possible. ”

Frank's eyes lit up with excitement, "So, you're planning to shoot the entire movie in black and white." ”

"That's the goal." Lance replayed the part where Kate's skirt fluttered, "We will deliberately destroy the physical phenomena of reality in some parts, especially some fight scenes, maybe one punch will directly blow the entire head, or a kick will be directly kicked away, etc......." This kind of plot can often be seen in Japanese comics, so Lance is no stranger to it, and his explanation made Frank chuckle, "and then create a sense of absurdity, but the whole maintains a sense of reality." ”

In fact, Lance has also tried this method in "borrowing a knife to kill", and this ambiguity between reality and fantasy will produce a sense of absurdity in the process of watching the movie, and it is impossible to distinguish the difference between reality and movies. The difference is. In "Killing with a Knife", reality is greater than illusion, while in "Sin City", there is more illusion than reality.

"It's like a comic!" Frank immediately understood Lance's intentions.

"It's like a comic." Lance nodded in the affirmative, then returned his gaze to the screen, "We'll shoot in color, and then remove the color in post-production and make it black and white." In this way, the colors can be returned to the picture at any time, as we want. Lance's detailed explanation made Frank stand up with excitement, his eyes lit up, as if the otaku had come to Comic-Con.

"So, the skin of a yellow hybrid can be mustard, that kind of yellowish mustard yellow that is so bright that it's disgusting." Frank felt like a big explosion in his head, and countless ideas collided, "and then when he was beaten to a ball of meat sauce." There's a disgusting yellow slurry on the ground! Frank suddenly raised his right hand, "Even his entrails are yellow!" We can dig out his internal organs and express in such a way that he feels corrupted from the inside out, and even his soul has become filthy. ”

Lance quickly jotted down Frank's inspiration on his laptop, adding, "Or maybe someone is always black and white, but when he's in excruciating pain, his blood returns to bright red." It's like a close-up of the color! ”

Frank tapped his chin quickly, "yes." And in the movie, Godie can use her real skin tone and blonde hair, as if ......" Frank seems to be so excited that he is running out of words, trying to express it, but he is stuck, Lance takes over, "It's as if she's a beautiful being outside of this black and white world." It's so beautiful that it doesn't exist at all. ”

"It's like heaven!" Frank grabbed Lance's shoulder excitedly, shook it vigorously, and couldn't help but start pacing back next to the bar, his focused eyes shining with an incomparable light, as if the destruction of the world could not affect his thoughts.

Lance quickly wrote down all his inspirations. Frank finally returned to the bar again, looking at the countless inspirations on the screen, voraciously and excitedly. Then, he heard Lance's voice pass over again, "I want to make color a powerful narrative tool, and even hide the love, the story, and the soul in it, and affect every audience with a violent visual impact." ”

Frank jumped up again, raised his right hand in the air, and looked at Lance with a glint in his eyes. Lance knew that Frank was letting himself high-five and celebrate, but this was really not something he would do, Lance could only avoid Frank's gaze and pretend to continue typing on the computer, but Frank was obviously unwilling to give up, he directly raised his foot and kicked Lance's stool, forcing Lance to raise his head again, and he even looked at his raised right hand with his eyes and gave a very obvious signal.

Lance was helpless for a while, so he could only stretch out his right hand and slowly greet him, intending to be perfunctory. But Frank didn't care, pulled his right hand back, made a gesture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, and finally struck Lance's right hand hard, making a crisp sound. It's not over yet......

Frank jumped up and shouted, "Wow! Wow! He started to circle around the bar, causing the whole bar to be heckled.

"And what about the light? How would you use light? Frank trotted all the way back to the bar and said excitedly, but Lance was typing quickly in front of the computer and did not answer in time, which made Frank pick up the beer and take a big sip, relieving the dryness of his throat, not wanting to finish it in one gulp, so he handed the beer glass to Joe.

Joe put the beer glass under the keg, turned on the faucet, and said with a smile, "It seems that you are so satisfied that you are on fire." ”

Originally, it was just a joke, but it made Frank's excited love xù pause slightly, and he stood in place a little jerky and embarrassed.
