Judy is a very, very temperamental girl, of course, not that she is not beautiful.

In fact, Hollywood actresses, even if they can't all be called national beauty when they are young, are basically all beautiful like flowers.

Judy is a very studious person, even on the set, as long as there is no drama and there is leisure time, she will take out her books and flip through them.

There is poetry and writing in the belly.

He studied classics at Yale, Afro-American literature, and is fluent in English, French, Latin, Spanish, and Italian.

Her temperament is that she has an independent mind and can think well, rather than simply following the clouds.

The biggest difficulty she encountered in the performance was that it was difficult for her to completely surrender her body to Al Pacino.

This is different from her beliefs in life.

But later, Yan Qingyu found that it was this slight stiffness that perfectly showed Donna's unfamiliarity with tango.

A beautiful, temperamental, and thoughtful highly educated woman is simply the aesthetic core of Leslie Cheung.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Leslie Cheung is always a little flustered and shy in front of Judy......

It's just that I'm used to seeing too many unrestrained men in the United States, how can Judy give up on a gentle and introverted man like Leslie Cheung.

started on the set, even if there was no Judy scene, she would often visit the class and chat with Leslie Cheung.

Later, Leslie Cheung felt that something was wrong, and after starting to dodge, he chased him to the Yan family mansion in Beverly Hills.

It's never boring, it's just chatting and talking.

What scares Leslie Cheung the most is that he finds that he likes the feeling of chatting with Judy. This made him feel very ashamed, this kind of behavior and psychology betrayed his love with Ye Xiangnan.

Regarding Yan Qingyu's ridicule, Leslie Cheung suddenly lost his temper, sat on the sofa a little decadently, and said distressedly: "Xiao Yu." What do you say I should do? I may really be in love with Judy, but I'm ...... to Xiang Nan I really don't know, what am I going to do. ”

Yan Qingyu said with a smile: "What are you worried about at this time, since people have already flown over from Hong Kong, you don't care about the rest of the people, and then entertain good people first." This has nothing to do with love, it is the basic principle of being a human being. You can't let people get off the plane and just look at your unlucky face, right? And you can show her around in the open, at least so far. She's still your official girlfriend, and you didn't hide that you cheated on Judy, right? ”

Leslie Cheung relieved himself when he heard this, nodded, and said, "Yes, I didn't deceive anyone, and nothing has happened yet." I didn't do anything bad, and I didn't have anything to do with Judy. ”

Listening to Leslie Cheung's muttering, Yan Qingyu finally couldn't help but continue to hit him. Mental infidelity is sometimes scarier than physical infidelity......

However, seeing that the old brother was tortured like this, he had no choice but to persuade: "Rong Shao, you have to understand a truth. In the world of feelings, there is no right or wrong. There is no such thing as justice and evil, only the difference between feeling and not feeling.

I haven't met Ye Xiangnan, so it's not good to evaluate her. It's just that you and she have only been dating for more than half a year so far, minus your two and a half months in the United States. It's only four or five months. In a short period of time, how deep can feelings make you blame yourself so much? Even if you break up, it's just normal emotional twists and turns.

You look at the world. If you look at Hollywood, how many people are staging joys and sorrows every day, but there is no one like you. Ye Xiangnan, I don't know each other, but Judy, I feel really good, and it's also very suitable for you. You are a soft person, so you need a strong person to support you. Otherwise, two soft people can't get along.

But there is a difference between a strong character and a strong character, some are more utilitarian, and some are more pure. I think that Judy. Foster is relatively pure. Of course, this is just my incomplete opinion, and what you need to ask most is your own heart.

Okay, let's go and pick them up first, even if it's a breakup meal, you have to eat happily, otherwise people will go back and ruin my reputation and say that I don't treat my fellow countrymen well.

Go ahead, I'll see the editing of the film again. ”

……

Editing is very important to film, and before the word editing appeared in the history of film, film was a very ordinary film that recorded the state of life.

It's a fixed shot from start to finish, dull and boring.

Of course, there are occasionally some master thought directors who will shoot shocking films in the most primitive way.

However, it still can't change its dull and boring nature. And to call it shocking, it is the heart of the award committee that shocks, but not the heart of ordinary audiences.

The movies at that time were at most curious, because there was no story, no plot, and as soon as the novelty faded, there was nothing.

The first real film in film history was Edwin S. Powter's 1903 The Great Train Robbery, which was only six minutes long but a milestone in the history of cinema.

The film is quite innovative in terms of cinematic techniques, which provides a model for the development of future feature films. For example, the camera breaks through the frame of the stage play and does not shoot in a fixed position (the camera is placed on the top of a speeding train to shoot the robbery of the gangsters, and it can be seen that the gangsters on the horse are speeding parallel to the train);

In terms of composition, there is not only a sense of depth, but also a strong dramatic tension (at the end of the film, when the gangsters are sharing the spoils in the small jungle, a group of police officers can be seen creeping up from the background to the gangsters in the foreground).

More importantly, the editing between the scenes in this film uses montage techniques to make the style of the whole film appear unified and compact, and establishes the structural sculpture of a general feature film, which is the pioneering work of the Western film genre.

The film, which has been shown in the United States and Europe for several years, has aroused everyone's interest in watching the film and has contributed to the development of the film into a huge enterprise.

Since then, the development of film has been rapid, and the way the camera is shot has become more and more flexible, and the use of montage has also increased.

This shows how important editing is, it is it that resurrects the film, and it is also it that makes the film take off.

A Hollywood blockbuster usually takes more than 240 hours of film. Even though "Smelling a Woman" has a very detailed storyboard shooting plan, it still took nearly 160 hours of film.

If you convert 160 hours of film to frames, and the film is 24 frames per second, then the base unit will be millions.

It is these millions of small grids that collide, sort, and combine with each other to make up the whole movie.

Although the base is huge, it does not mean that the role of a small grid can be ignored.

In fact, the effect of one more cell is very different from one less.

A few more frames, a few more seconds, and a few more frames, the film may seem much more bulky.

And if there is less, the film will appear incoherent, disordered and disorganized.

The role of the editor is to arrange these little grids well, no more and no less. It is necessary not only to pay attention to seamless editing, but also to ensure the smoothness of the overall rhythm of the film, and finally express the story and emotion of the film in the best way.

It is worth mentioning that among the many directors in Hollywood, the vast majority of them do not have editing rights.

That is to say, they shoot it, but how to edit, they don't have the right to dictate. Of course, if they are very unwilling, then the release of the videotape version is not impossible to satisfy their desire to edit. Hope.

This has a premise, that is, the director needs a certain amount of excellent Cheng dù.

Only a very small number of directors, called great directors, have the final editing rights to the film, such as George. Lucas, another example is Steve. Spielberg.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, a local tyrant like Yan Qingyu is both a director and an investor in the film.

Therefore, he has the right to dictate the products he invests in, even if he ruins this movie, others will have nothing to say, but will have fun watching it.

Firefly Films, as a veteran film company that can survive in Hollywood for eight years, has a complete production system and distribution system, so it is natural that it will not be without its own editors.

Mary. Rhett, a black woman of about forty years old, is a very good editor.

The most satisfying thing about Yan Qingyu is naturally not that she weighs more than two hundred pounds, but that she will perfectly execute Yan Qingyu's will.

Editing is a very painful and happy thing for the director.

Because every time a frame is cut, it will make the director's heart tremble, and then he will twitch again.

Even if Yan Qingyu asked for it, after seeing Mary cut it, his face was still ugly.

"Boss, our first cut is currently 280 minutes, that's too long, and our goal is to cut it to 170 minutes or less. Directors are always greedy, and you wouldn't even want to cut a grid if you could. So, that's why we editors are needed. ”

Saying that, Mary made an exaggerated grimace with the characteristics of black comedy and smiled, but her subordinates were not slow at all, and cut out a few scenes according to the idea of communicating with Yan Qingyu.

Next, the two argued over and over again, and even quarreled, arguing endlessly over groups of shots.

Mary is indeed an excellent editor, she has read through the script, and she has also understood Yan Qingyu's thoughts on the movie, so in her mind, a relatively complete editing plan has been formed.

If it were in Hong Kong, Yan Qingyu wanted to edit a movie, no filmmaker in Hong Kong would dare to argue with him, not a single one.

But this is Hollywood in Los Angeles, this is the United States, and the prestige of Yan's officials has not yet taken shape.

And even if he becomes famous, it may not be useful.

Because even George. Big directors like Lucas and Spielberg, who have a lot of names throughout Hollywood, also have to respect the opinions of editors in the editing room.

Especially in the selection of shots, professional editors can often give point-to-point advice. (To be continued......)
