Frank realized that he had been carried away, and just ten minutes before he had been unapologetic to Lance, but now he was like a six-year-old girl with a lollipop, pinching her floral skirt and circling the crowd. Realizing this, Frank suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
He restrained himself with some nervousness, and tried to sit back in his chair, only to find Lance sitting in his place, because the laptop was facing his place just now, and now Lance was recording ideas in front of the computer; He grabbed his cowboy hat again, as if his head was starting to smoke, and scratching his ears and cheeks still couldn't alleviate the feeling of bewilderment, and he didn't even know how to hide it......
Lance looked up and cast his gaze. In a panic, Frank grabbed his beard and muttered for a moment, "Uh...... So, is this story from 'Is the customer God?' ”
Lance raised an eyebrow, "Yes, it's 'The Customer is God'." Lance stopped moving, looked straight at Frank, and then saw Frank turn his head in a hurry, grab his beer glass and take two large sips of beer, barely willing to look him in the eye, which made Lance can't help but laugh.
Although today's interview was a little tense at the beginning, things went very smoothly. Frank isn't as tough as he looks on the outside, he's more of a kid who doesn't grow up, has a fiery heart of innocence, and loves all things comics madly, so the topic of comics always makes him sensitive. It's like Peter Pan.
"As for the light," Lance took the initiative to bring up the topic - Frank's question just now. He heard it, and Joe's teasing was no exception, but Lance pretended not to hear it, "I'll try to focus the light on the main character, or in the center, and blur the edges." It creates a strong focus effect and then matches it with the colors so that the viewer's eye always follows my thoughts. ”
In fact, this kind of shooting technique is not uncommon for movies, but it is not a correct method.
In the view of the academic school, film creators should not forcibly instill their own ideas into the audience, but should let the audience taste their own after watching the work, in fact, this is following the system of art appreciation. In short, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people.
When the film is overly sensational, overly subjective, and overly didactic. Audiences don't need to watch movies to get educated, art should be more of a platform for ideas to collide, and everyone can generate their own opinions and ideas. Therefore, in the process of filming the film, the director needs to try to avoid telling the audience directly, "what you should see, what you should think, what I want to say". Instead, you should use lens language, story structure, character building and other ways to convey ideas, waiting for the slow fermentation after the end of the movie.
For example, in "killing people with a knife". Lance uses the effects of light to create that sense of loneliness, but in fact, there are a lot of blank spaces left under the spotlight, including dialogue, performance, and rhythm. Leave these gaps to the audience to fill, hoping to bring out the afterglow of the story.
Sin City is different, and Lance wants to add to that sense of "focus" in every frame, as if the spotlight were moving with the center of gravity of the story, leaving little respite. But. This move is not to instill the core of the film's concept and thought, but to infinitely amplify the impact of visual effects, just like a comic, forcibly focusing the focus of the movie on one point, and then deliberately blurring the surrounding scenes, creating the shocking effect of "an island in the middle of the ocean".
Therefore, the lighting and composition of "Sin City" will be more demanding than that of "killing with a knife", but it will also be more dramatic and exaggerated - or caricature.
"I also hope to use some exposure effects, or the effects of light and shadow movement, to bring the emotions of the characters together, and use some slightly exaggerated performances to bring that tension up. To put it simply, this could be a more bloody and violent movie than 'Kill Bill'. Lance was always focused on professional matters, which eased Frank's embarrassment, and he turned his head to look at Lance, but his speech seemed a little unfavorable, "Quentin Tarantino? So why you? ”
Meaning, "Kill Bill" is a movie directed by Quentin, and if "Sin City" is to be integrated into Quentin's style, Frank can choose Quentin to direct it, why choose Lance to direct it?
Lance immediately understood what Frank meant, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was outlined like this, and the blue color between the easy and freehand was so thrilling that people couldn't take their eyes off it, and Lance looked at Frank fixedly, and said calmly, "Because I'm better." ”
Frank was willing to believe it.
The bloody violence of "Kill Bill" has an artistic beauty, but more of a plasma and killing that comes from Quentin's aesthetic; The aesthetics of "Sin City" are more inherited from Frank's original comics, and the cold violence constructed by the colorful colors will go deep into the bone marrow than the plasma, and there may not be much scarlet blood in the movie at all, but you can feel the wildness and roughness of that violent cruelty.
Frank suddenly discovers that he is willing to believe Lance. He believed that Lance would be able to bring Sin City to the big screen, and that he would do it well; He believed that Lance could give the Sin City comic book a completely different style, and the blood-pumping kind; He believes that Lance is the best choice for "Sin City", and that there is no substitute.
When did this trust begin...... Frank has no way of going back, but he realizes that maybe Sin City is really waiting for the perfect time to be brought to the screen.
"I still need a little help from you, though." Lance's words interrupted Frank's thoughts, which made Frank show a curious expression, he felt that Lance had taken into account all aspects of the movie, but now Lance actually took the initiative to show weakness, which was really an accident.
In the previous life, "Sin City" invited Frank to join the crew as a director, although Lance was not sure what advice Frank gave in terms of directing, but it is undeniable that as the creator of the original comics, Frank's understanding of the style and plot structure of the comics is undoubtedly the deepest.
In the comics world of the early 90s, the artist and the author were often separated, which made it easy to create a disconnect between the plot and the drawing. Frank was a rare all-rounder at the time, and the "Sin City" comic book took a different path, and once it was launched, it established his position as a master.
So, Lance could indeed use Frank's help.
"I didn't just want Sin City to be brought to the big screen, I wanted it to be a cautionary tale." Lance didn't hesitate and spoke directly about his ambitions.
Frank raised an eyebrow, he had already learned about Lance's blueprint through Guò Cole, and the "City of God", "Murder by the Sword" and "Sin City" formed a trilogy of sins, which was indeed a grand plan. And now, Lance actually took the initiative to talk about this plan in front of him, which undoubtedly made him feel more surprised. Before he knew it, Frank's embarrassment had vanished, and he turned his head, re-entering a state of concentration, and looked at Lance seriously.
"I don't know if you've seen 'A Clockwork Orange', I plan to draw on the reflection on violence in this movie, in 'Sin City', emphasizing the ...... of fighting evil with evil," Lance briefly recounted his ideas, "At the same time, I also hope to continue the definition of darkness in 'Rashomon', that is, the real evil is not to 'do something wrong', but to interpret one's own selfishness from the perspective of justice, and this selfishness has become a crime, but it claims to be a righteous ......"
Frank fell into complete silence, listening to every word of Lance very carefully, lest he miss a word and then he couldn't keep up with Lance's thoughts, "Wait, you explain in detail." ”
"It's very simple, for example, Nancy, she was kidnapped, and then Hardigan saved her, but eight years later, she disappeared again, and Hardigan had to sacrifice herself again to come out and save Nancy." Lance told the whole story very succinctly, stripped of the details, and Frank nodded in understanding, "But, has anyone really thought that Nancy is the victim?" ”
Frank couldn't help but breathe and looked at Lance in disbelief, "Jesus Christ, of course Nancy is the victim!" When she was kidnapped, she was only eleven years old, and that disgusting Roger was a prostitute/child/fetish, he kidnapped her, and then persevered, always wanting to hurt Nancy, of course she was a victim! ”
Frank's love was very excited.
Juvenile delinquency is a very serious crime under American law, and moral condemnation is unimaginable, and it can be said that almost everyone can condemn it. Nancy is one such character in "Sin City", she is the victim, Hardigan worked hard to save her, but she ends up in a bar and becomes a dancer/girl, and it can almost be said that Nancy is a ray of sunshine in the darkness.
However, Lance wanted the whole story to go further, not only to dig out the story behind the characters, but also to be able to integrate the concept of "Rashomon" into it, and truly interpret the definition of the two sentences "the poor must have something hateful, and the hateful must have something pitiful".
Therefore, even in the face of Frank's slightly out-of-control affection, Lance still did not flinch, but raised his chin, widened his eyes and said, "So, Nancy is innocent, and all the mistakes are Roger's?" ”
"Of course!" Frank nodded without hesitation, but after the words were finished, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, this feeling was very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable!
