Chapter 200: Hard Work is Fun
"Brother Wei, are you really not coming back for Homecoming?
"I won't participate this year, but next year. โ
"You know it's Saturday, you don't work on the weekend, come back, brother, I know you, you're punishing yourself, you must have gone crazy and only did things, and didn't play at all. Brother, it's not your fault that you broke up, don't be like this, come back, we miss you. โ
"I didn't punish myself, I kept myself busy with work, but it's because I came to feel, a quiet feeling that a new environment, a new life, gave me, and I could put my whole heart into it, you know, a lively event like Homecoming, those very happy plays, can ruin this feeling of mine. I cherish it and I'm in a state like ...... It's like turning on a faucet, and I don't want to turn it off. So brother, I'm not going back, you help me bring my blessings. โ
"Okay...... Brother, I would like to say, a person is always moving forward. โ
"Are you really Lev? When are you going to be reasonable?"
"You're not the only one who has fallen out of love! Connie has been ignoring me for a long time, hey, I'm going to beg her to see if there is a turnaround on the homecoming...... What do I say if I see Lily?"
"Say hello, if she asks about me, you say you're doing well in Toronto, say hello to you. โ
"Then pay attention to your body and don't break it. โ
In a few days, Saturday, September 25th, this year's Harvard-Westlake Homecoming Day will be held.
The Upper School campus is bustling early with official events from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., round-the-clock sports competitions, fun and entertaining programs, plenty of multicultural cuisine served until 10 p.m., and our Homecoming Dance hosted by the Students' Union......
There was no genius figure in the excitement, which was quite disappointing.
There is no back-to-school holiday in canada schools and it is still a weekend ye wei continues his peaceful life but he has had a cold since yesterday and the weather in toronto is still somewhat influential he is rarely sick or lev that guy has become a crow beak comparable to pelรฉ.
Every now and then he sneezed, his nose was very uncomfortable, Mihaela wanted to take him to the family doctor, he refused, it was just a common cold, and it would be better if he didn't take medicine, he always did.
On Sunday morning, Ye Wei was sitting on a wooden chair on the lawn in the front yard, basking in the sun while watching the script and drawing storyboard sketches.
I saw the beautifully dressed Nina walk out of the house, and she was going out to play again, in fact, she was a hard-working person, usually after school, she had to practice gymnastics, ballet or something, and practiced in the morning, and practiced at home when she was free, and her feet were deformed, and she was not lazy, but she definitely went out on weekends, and it seems that she had a new boyfriend recently.
"Have fun. Seeing her coming, Ye Wei waved goodbye to her, snorted, and continued to draw this frontal double shot.
Nina shook her head slightly, and walked out into the big street without saying a word.
However, at this time, there was a beeping car sound, a silver-white Cadillac SUV was coming, stopped, the laughter of young men and women had been heard, the rear door opened, Nina sat in, complaining, "Didn't you let you wait outside?" Several people in the car looked at the lawn, looking at the painted glasses slug, and a girl asked, "Who is that?"
"My neighbor, leave him alone and drive. โ
The tall white boy in the driver's seat shouted, "Friend, do you want to hang out together?"
"Don't!", "The car can't sit down." Immediately, the nervous voices of the girls sounded, and Nina said helplessly: "Don't tease him." And the boys laughed: "He's a nerd." "Why do the neighbors sit on your lawn?" and the boy in the car shouted, "You can bring your book, or your drawing board, or whatever!"
"I said don't tease him. โ
"Hahaha!"
Amid the laughter of the crowd, the SUV started and drove outside.
Nina, it looks like that's another rotten person. Ye Wei grinned, turned the pencil in his hand, and continued to concentrate on the rectangle, and after adding a few strokes, he suddenly felt bad, and muttered: "It's too close to shoot like this, there should be a deeper depth here, then it's not a positive angle......"
Thinking and drawing is full of fun and challenges.
In terminology, there are two ways for audiences to watch movies, positive and negative. Passive viewers simply watch the story content of the film and rarely care about and appreciate the composition and lens of the film, while the active audience not only enjoys the story and audio-visual, but also explores the deeper aspects of the film, such as composition, color, camera movement, prop settings, and so on.
They don't tell them all at first glance or just once, but it's what makes a classic a classic stand up to repeated viewing by the audience, who sees more subtlety each time.
For negative audiences, in fact, there is not much difference between what directors are, such as asking Kubrick, Spielberg, Ang Lee and him to make a movie each with the script of "Little Sunshine Beauty", they can only see the same story, the family set off to participate in a beauty pageant, a lot of things happened on the way, arrived at the competition site, failed, and went home.
And the active audience will see the charm of each director, different ways of telling stories, and different words.
Just imagine, what will they be like?
Kubrick may use an absurd formalism, a lot of deep depth of field shots, crazy cadenza passages, thought-provoking thoughts, like "A Clockwork Orange"; Spielberg will most likely follow the commercial approach and rhythm, focusing on the fun of the story, every qiฤ is just right, like "The Terminal of Happiness"; Ang Lee will pay more attention to the inner portrayal of the characters, maybe there is nothing exciting, the warm expression of a group of people and a society, like "The Ice Storm".
Ye Wei didn't know, he already had a good feeling for this story, and he also had a grasp of art and filming, but there were still too many uncertainties about how to tell it, which was also inevitable, and the movie could only be released on the set and in the editing room. You know, Ang Lee doesn't draw storyboard scripts!
Ye Wei's style? No one can have a style, and no one can know their own style before the movie is ready, what you have to do when you make your debut is to sprinkle as much as you want, and then look at your own appearance.
In the long road of directing, he has had a great beginning, others say that he is a genius, but he must not think so himself, continuous efforts, a little bit of accumulation, will live a few years, and find that he has grown to a realm that cannot be defeated.
"Let's breathe a little more space, no, it seems like this scene is suitable for a long shot? โ
......
On September 29th, the heads of the art team (art director, set designer, prop designer) and the heads of the film crew, Sean Maurrell and Peter Heller, arrived in Toronto, not only to attend the first creative meeting, but also to carry out some work here.
In the small, brightly lit conference room, the young boss sat at the top of the square conference table, with Heller, the "Hand of the King" at the other end, and two department heads on each side.
The first meeting is usually just to talk about the concept, so that everyone has a preliminary exchange of ideas and knows what to expect, so the copywriting materials prepared by all parties are often very simple.
However, when everyone got the original director's painting assigned by the little boss, there was a thick stack, and they couldn't help but show surprised faces, so many ......
"It's too late to color, so let's take a closer look. Ye Wei made a gesture of please.
The room was silent, and they only flipped it a few times, and it was a little awkward, because their preparation was equal to no preparation in comparison.
