When Li Shengyao was negotiating with the senior management of Gaumont Pictures, in the theater, De Niro and Jude Law were sitting together and discussing in a low voice.

Jude Law is the actor of "Soldiers in the City", before he lost his hair, he was a world-famous handsome man.

It's a pity that there are signs of baldness now, and it doesn't look so good.

Jude Law was also one of the jury members of the Cannes Film Festival.

He and De Niro are both actors, so naturally they chatted.

The two people entered the theater together and naturally sat together.

"I've heard that this movie is a one-shot shot, and it's really exciting."

Jude Law is young in the end, and he really thinks that there are movies that can be shot to the end.

De Niro shook his head, looked left and right, and then whispered: "Unless it's a documentary, it's impossible to have a feature-length movie with one shot to the end, this is just a gimmick, I'm a little worried now, if the movie doesn't have a one-shot effect, will the audience feel cheated." ”

Jude Law was stunned when he heard this, and he only reacted after a while, thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed impossible to have a movie with one shot to the end.

After all, how can an actor perform for about 100 minutes without a single mistake?

Even if the leading actor doesn't make a mistake, the supporting role will make a mistake.

So one shot is just a gimmick, and this movie is a pseudo one-shot to the end, but it just looks like a one-shot to the end.

But even if it looks, it's very difficult, right?

Jude Law doesn't have much contact with Lee Shengyao, he is a British actor, and the actors on their side are more arrogant, even in the face of big directors, they are like yellow flower girls, remaining reserved.

"Wow, in this case...... the current situation of "1937" is not very good, they must show enough skills, otherwise, so many professionals, so many reporters, and fans full of expectations, one bad one will overturn."

De Niro nodded, "Yes, it's like 'Midnight in Paris.'" ”

Before "Midnight in Paris" was not screened, it can be said that everyone was looking forward to it, but after the screening, Woody Allen was criticized by a group of media, feeling that he had not made a breakthrough, and felt that he had made a Paris tourism promotional film in the hearts of magnesium people.

When Jude Law heard this, he was inexplicably anxious for Li Shengyao.

He wants a good and innovative film, otherwise the festival will be boring.

If "1937" can be successful, then he will go to Britain and the beautiful country next, and there will be a point to talk about.

Just as Jude Law and De Niro were talking in a low voice, the movie officially began.

At the beginning, the camera was locked on the male number one and the male number two.

In the Battle of Songhu, our side encountered a dangerous situation, and a unit that had been arranged before needed to be withdrawn, otherwise it might be completely defeated by the enemy.

Since the telephone line was bombed, it was necessary to arrange for the soldiers to deliver the order in person.

Male No. 1 and Male No. 2 were messengers, and they were ordered to cross the battlefield in one day and relay orders to friendly troops fourteen miles away.

After that, the camera has been following the male number one and the male number two, sometimes on the side, sometimes on the back.

Occasionally, the camera sweeps over other directions of the battlefield, revealing ruins, bullets, and countless soldiers charging and fighting on the battlefield.

The overall rhythm is very tight, that is, around this task, the male number one is arranged, and the male number two is constantly moving forward.

Among them, the male number one is a soldier oil, and the male number two is a hot-blooded young man.

De Niro was soon among them, worried and anxious about the fate of the two messengers.

It wasn't until twenty minutes into the movie that he remembered the movie's promotional stunt, that is, one shot to the end.

He froze suddenly, his old brain spinning wildly, recalling the scene from the front of the movie.

"It seems that there is really no editing, it is really a shot to the end!"

When Jude Law heard this, he came back to his senses and nodded violently, "Is there no editing point, is it really a shot to the end, oh, is it so crazy?" They made a 110-minute, one-shot movie. ”

It sounds incredible.

De Niro was about to retort when he came back to his senses and looked at the other filmmakers on the side.

Seeing that the big guys were watching it seriously, he whispered: "I can't say that now, I don't think there is a movie with one shot to the end, it should be that Li used some methods to hide the editing point." ”

"You have a point, let's try to find a splice point."

De Niro nodded, and then he stared at the big screen seriously, not missing a single detail.

Five minutes later, he finally found a very hidden editing point, the camera was blocked by a soldier's military uniform, and it appeared that the camera was motionless.

But in De Niro's experience, there should have been a splice point just now.

As the film continues, De Niro discovers several other editing points, such as entering the night, a pitch-black picture, and there are also editing points at this time.

The more De Niro searched, the more frightened he became, there were not many splice points he found, and only five could be determined.

He knew that there were still editing points in the movie, but he couldn't find them.

He then realized that if he had to be so serious to find five cuts, what about the average viewer? Can they find out that the film has an editing?

De Niro then turned his head and secretly observed the expressions of the nearby audience, and he found that many of them opened their mouths slightly, looking shocked and their eyes full of surprise.

Naturally, this movie is not really a one-shot movie, but it can do so well, can create a one-shot effect, and can bluff so many people, it is already a very success.

It is already an innovation in the history of cinema.

No film has ever tried this before.

Robert De Niro is a well-known and well-informed Hollywood powerhouse, and at this time he was also shocked by Lee Shengyao's innovation.

"Very bold idea, and it really did."

Jude Law heard this and nodded, "Li is really not an ordinary director, his innovation this time is even more powerful than "Border Killer", this movie is the best movie I have seen at this film festival so far." ”

"I never knew about the Battle of Songhu before, I didn't expect the island mushroom people to be so ferocious, this movie told me a lot of different things, I will watch the second scene, and then count carefully, how many editing points there are in total, and then talk to Li."

De Niro nodded, "It's time to talk to him, he's a guy with ideas, he's someone who can make movies better." ”

Originally, I was a little worried that "1937" would be like "Midnight in Paris", the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Unexpectedly, Li Shengyao resisted the pressure and had excellent quality.

De Niro, as the jury of this year's film festival, naturally hopes that the more excellent films at the festival, the better.

He wants to have a good chat with Li Shengyao now to express his concern and admiration.
