352 "Tragedy is the destruction of what is valuable in life for others to see"
The content of the film is not complicated.
There are very few dialogues of the characters, and the scene only appears six times - that is, the scene of the male protagonist in 6 photos.,
Taverns, squares, woods, cherry blossom gardens
Yu Dongqing is the director on the one hand, and starring on the other, when he is filming, he lets Mingmei be the director, and the photography is assisted by Han Qingqing.
Soon, in just three days, all the shots were completed, and the next step was post-production.
Mingmei originally wanted to help Yu Dongqing, but it was too late, so she had to hurry back to school. This time, it was Yu Dongqing who sent her to the airport.
"Brother-in-law, you wrote a specific agreement for Yu Wen's movie to write the theme song, I communicated with Yu Wen on the phone, and he agreed to give you a remuneration of 3 million, and the specific contract Yang Liu signed with the crew on behalf of the studio."
"Do you agree to let Zhao Yawen sing?" Yu Dongqing asked again.
"At first, they were going to find other singers, and later, after repeated negotiations, they agreed to sing with Zhao Yawen." Mingmei said.
Yu Dongqing nodded and didn't say anything more.
For the songs you write, you naturally have to give priority to the singers in your studio.
The building near the water gets the moon first.
Yu Dongqing helped Mingmei drag her luggage to the airport security checkpoint and stopped.
"When you go to school, you can study with peace of mind." Yu Dongqing admonished.
"Hmm" Mingmei nodded in agreement, pulled the suitcase and suddenly said again: "Brother-in-law, you come to London to play." ”
"Me? If you want to take care of Tongtong, how can you run so far? Yu Dongqing said with a smile.
"After Tongtong's summer vacation, bring her along, and I'll be your guide! Tongtong and I have already agreed. ”
Scold?
Chop before play?
In fact, Yu Dongqing also wanted to go out for a walk, and originally planned to marry Luo Yun and go to Europe for a honeymoon.
But now, hey.
"We'll talk about it then." Yu Dongqing replied.
"Okay, brother-in-law, bye." Mingmei waved her hand and walked towards the security gate.
"Bye-bye."
"Brother-in-law, don't forget to send me the movie edit!" Mingmei suddenly said again.
"Don't worry."
After sending it to Mingmei, Yu Dongqing drove back to his home and began the post-editing of the film.
Although this movie is only five minutes long, and the plot of the character dialogue is also very simple, but in the original time and space, director Dustin Ballard put a lot of effort into the post-editing, and he was also very elegant.
The film adopts the form of a drama within a play, taking each photo as a scene, and the scenes recorded in each photo get rid of the freeze frame and enter reality.
Yu Dongqing didn't pay too much attention, anyway, he was playing, and it only took one day to complete the production of this five-minute film.
At night, after her daughter fell asleep, Yu Dongqing played the video on the computer.
Well.
It's not bad, especially Ming Hanwen's performance, the last 9 consecutive less than a second, the father checks the moving lens of the camera, and the 2-second close-up of the father's tears, which shows the father's inner anxiety when he finds that the camera is about to run out of power, and the reluctance in his heart after his son chooses to "stay" in the end, which is very well expressed.
This is the sublimation of the whole movie.
The old man did a very good job.
Although it only took four days from filming to production, Yu Dongqing felt quite satisfied.
Okay, I'll send it to Mingmei now.
Bright is anxiously waiting.
It's not that it's to complete her homework, but she told her friend Elena about making a micro-movie, but she didn't expect Elena to be a little unconvinced.
"Mingmei, isn't your brother-in-law a singer? How can you make a film? ”
"Why not, I told you, my brother-in-law is an excellent screenwriter."
"But being able to write a script doesn't mean being able to make a movie, not to mention that you are shooting with a camera. Oh my, I got it! Elena said with a sudden clapping of her hands.
"What do you know?" Bright and inexplicable.
"Is your brother-in-law advertising Canon cameras? Why don't you shoot with two Canon cameras? Wow, that's a great idea! Your brother-in-law is amazing! ”
I'm @#¥%......
Bright was speechless.
What kind of commercial? Canon gave my brother-in-law half a dime?
My dad and brother-in-law only have Canon cameras.
Facts speak louder than words, if you can see my brother-in-law's movie, you won't say it!
That afternoon, when Mingmei had just returned to the dormitory after class, she turned on her laptop and was prompted by MSN that there was an email from China.
opened the mailbox, and when I saw it, it was a movie sent by my brother-in-law.
Put on your headphones immediately and look serious.
Although she shot it herself, when she saw the footage that Yu Dongqing had made in post-editing, Mingmei looked at it and her eyes were wet.
Not moved by his performance, but once again moved by the story.
Why can't you have both?
Do you have to live and die?
Or with a beloved wife or with your own father?
Ay.
As an ordinary audience, she may not understand, but as a director, she can understand Yu Dongqing's good intentions.
"Mingmei, why are you crying?" Suddenly, a girl's voice pulled her back to reality.
It's Elena.
"My brother-in-law sent me the movie, you can see it." Mingmei handed her the laptop directly.
“OK!”
"I'm going to get food."
Mingmei said, put on her shoes and left the dormitory.
The food in the cafeterias of British universities is far less abundant than in China, and even at prestigious schools like the film school, Bright Sunny asks for a hot dog and a salad, a cup of coffee, and the same goes for Elena.
I usually eat in the cafeteria, but today Elena was watching a movie in the dormitory, so Mingmei packed the food and brought it back.
As soon as I entered the dormitory, I saw Elena staring at the laptop screen, her face full of tears, and she was sobbing incessantly.
"What's up, this is?"
Mingmei said, placing the meal on the table.
"It's so touching!" Elena suddenly jumped up and hugged Mingmei, ignoring her usual ladylike appearance, and said viciously: "Why do you want to end up like this? Why tragedy?! ”
"Calm down, Elena."
Mingmei was secretly amused in her heart, but her face was calm: "We are all studying directing, don't we know the aesthetics of dealing with it like this?" ”
"Besides, Mr. Lu Xun, a great writer in my country, said such a sentence."
"What?"
"Tragedy is the destruction of valuable things in life for others to see." Mingmei said lightly.
"Mr. Lu Xun is great. Your brother-in-law is also too great! Elena muttered before she could get out of her emotions.
"Alright. It's just a micro-movie, eat quickly. Mingmei urged.
"No, no, this is not an ordinary micro-film, it is a great work shot with a camera!" Elena was still a little excited.
"Dear Mingmei, are you just putting such a good movie aside? Don't you want to attend the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival in France?! ”
