Chapter 205: Long Shot
Subtitle of this chapter: This is not a movie! Again, this is not a movie!
…………………………………………………………
"How so?"
Our Master Yuan stood there and muttered to himself.
"Mr. Yuan, it's always been like this!" I only heard Jin Dianfei on the side smile bitterly and said, "This long shot of the opening film is too difficult to shoot!" ”
"Hmm...... Oh...... Yes! ”
When Yuan Yan heard this, she first showed a displeased expression, then frowned and pondered, and finally had an expression of sudden realization.
It turns out that this is really Lao Tzu's pot!
As a film screenwriter, Yuan Da Traverser really has as many ideas and plots as he wants.
However, as a screenwriter of a film in 1921, he did not understand the whole process of filmmaking in those years, and he had unrealistic illusions about the film technology of these years.
When he had the idea of creating "The Orphan Girl of the Famine", he went for the highest historical epic among all kinds of movies.
So what is the most compelling way to start a historical epic with the highest compulsion?
Do you still need to ask...... Of course, it is the long shot that audiences and critics love the most.
At that time, as soon as Yuan Yanqian picked up the pen, the first thing that came to mind was "Touch of Evil" filmed in 1958, and the beginning of this movie was 3 minutes and 20 seconds in a shot that made people frightened and dare not breathe.
Well, this long shot is too complicated in terms of spatial scheduling, not only does it require a camera car, but it even needs a crane, not to mention that "Famine Orphan Girl" doesn't need to be so thrilling, so he had to PASS.
The second thing that comes to his mind is "I Am Cuba," which was filmed in the former Soviet Union in 1964. The 3 minutes and 22 seconds long shot at the beginning of this film is recognized as comparable to the beginning of "The Beauty of the Ages". These two long shots have almost equal status in the history of world cinema.
Still, this shot also needs to use "high-tech" means such as slings, and it is still a highly dangerous shot, and the beginning of "Famine Orphan Girl" does not need to be so complicated and gorgeous, and the styles of the two do not match very well. SO HE PASSED AGAIN.
Incidentally, the longest long shot in the history of cinema was also made by a Russian, and that was "Russian Ark" in 2004. This film is actually a long shot with a duration of 90 minutes and 28 seconds.
The camera takes the viewer through all 33 exhibition halls in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 2,000 meters. Of course, the miracle doesn't stop there, more than 2,000 actors in different costumes, 3 symphony orchestras, and various historical exhibits appear on camera......
In the end, he thought of the two famous long shots in the two films "Schindler's List" and "Dunkirk", which are also historical epics, the former is naturally a little girl in red, and the latter is an attack on the beach. and then used it in his own "Famine Orphan Girl".
To put it simply, it is to first use the village to explain the origin of the heroines, and then use the escape to show the tragic situation in the countryside during the Great Famine in Ireland.
Our Master Yuan was quite complacent after writing it, feeling that he was really a talented and natural filmmaker.
It's a pity that he just wasn't born at the right time and hasn't met a good father. Otherwise, he can write, direct, act, compose and write lyrics, draw movie posters by himself, and make a "Pure Heart: Dream Showbiz" in minutes.
Thinking of the smugness, he couldn't help but hum that people will fall...... The theme song of the movie written by Director Bi:
Chase dreams, chase dreams, chase dreams, show bib, money circles
We are pure, pure, pure, pure, pure, pure, pure
With my beautiful dreams since childhood,
To be a great and proud rich second generation......
Listen, what a great lyric, completely exhausting their post-90s and post-00s...... There is also the voice of the post-zero generation, which can be called the strongest voice of the times!
Back to "Famine Orphan Girl", if screenwriter Yuan Da handed over this script to an ordinary director, it would be fine, and people might be able to shoot it if they were flexible, but of course the effect would not be so good.
But the director he entrusted was originally very artistic, and this time he held his breath to prove his "father of film" - David Griffiths.
As the saying goes, don't bully the middle-aged poor.
Under the triple pressure of economic crisis, reputation crisis and mid-life crisis, his small universe exploded!
Just when Yuan Yanqian finally figured it out, a voice called in his ears: "Tired...... Whew......"
"Hello, is it really you?"
When he heard the sound, he saw one of the villagers waving her hands at him.
The ragged and hungry village girl cried out heartbreakingly: "I am not dazzled! It's really gruesome......"
"Tired ......"
The village girl struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and rushed in his direction......
"Li, Li, Lilian?!"
Our Master Yuan has finally determined that the actress who plays the village girl is his "lover lady". At this time, he couldn't help but feel sweet and warm in his heart.
Look, I love this big star the most, and I'm really right!
People are so excited when they see themselves, which shows how deep their love for him is.
There is a way that it is most difficult to live up to the grace of the beauty, and enter the fire pit after being trapped.
"Lillian Lotus ......"
Yuan Yanqian didn't care that this was in front of everyone, so he rushed to the fire pit with his feet...... That beauty.
Come on, come on, close your eyes, and imagine......
Under the bright spring sun, above the Lanlan green fields. A pair of handsome men and beautiful women shouted each other's names affectionately, and rushed to each other without hesitation. It's simply the ending shot of a classic romance movie.
When the two came to the center of the camera, they hugged each other happily, held high and spun around a few times, and finally came a long and wet kiss, which was the perfect END.
"Oops!"
"Whoa!"
Just when everyone was waiting with bated breath for such a finale, our "lover lady" suddenly had a cute flat fall.
The big star who fell to the ground tried very hard to support her body and wanted to stand up, but this time it seemed that she fell too hard, and she couldn't stand up.
However, the tenacious she still didn't give up, and actually crawled to her lover hand and foot!
"Greasy ......"
In the end, she couldn't support it, and she read her lover's name halfway, and then fainted with her head tilted.
The hundreds of people present were completely stupid.
There are such infatuated women in the world, and there are such infatuated men, today can be regarded as an eye-opener.
It is conceivable that our Master Yuan looked at the distressed yo yo
He used his strength to eat milk, rushed to the big star with the fastest in his life, and didn't care about the hundreds of dollars on his body, and put tens of thousands of soft girl coins in the customized suit in the future, and directly rolled to the ground with a hungry tiger pounced, and hugged the unconscious Ms. Ji Xu in his arms.
Yuan Yan, who was in tears, sobbed silently and said, "Li, Li, Lilian, I'm here!" ”
A tear rolled across his face and dripped down the lips of the "lover lady", finally reviving her.
"Greasy, greasy, greasy, it's really you?" Weakened, she called out in a low voice.
"Lilian, it's really me!"
"It's you, it's you......"
"Neo, you're here......"
Yuan Yanqian turned her head when she heard the sound and saw David Griffith walking towards them. He couldn't help but be angry, and evil rose from his heart. If a person becomes what he is now, it must be the scourge of this old guy.
He said firmly: "Lilian, you wait, I will avenge you!" ”
His "eyes of nothingness" burst out of black flames, vowing to burn the "father of cinema" to slag.
"Wait, wait a minute. I have something to ask you......" The big star struggled to pull on his lover's clothes and said with difficulty.
"Lilian, you ask!"
The "lover lady" had a flush on her face that only a person who has returned to the light, and said clearly, "Tired, do you have anything to eat?" ”
