The post-editing of "Untouchable" is more difficult than Sun Yi's previous films, and the multi-line narrative of "The Nameless" can be compared.

Because this movie doesn't have a climactic thread like other movies.

"Those Years" is a memory of youth, with the youthful emotions of that generation, and "The Nameless" is the handover between all kinds of small people at the bottom of society, and the audience can see their own shadow from it. "Fake Marriage" can be said to be a joyful love fantasy, and "Shelter" is a tense and suspenseful sense of the whole process.

The elements in these films are all capable of captivating the audience.

And "Untouchable" is different, he only has a faint friendship and mutual redemption between Philip and Dries, although the idea is very high, but the director's shooting techniques are more demanding, you have to arouse the audience's emotional resonance in the bland plot, so that every frame of the movie needs to be refined.

Through the scenes, lighting, characters, and lens frames, we can experience the lens language that matches the mood of the characters and the story line.

For example, in "The Shawshank Redemption", Andy used his ability to exchange a bottle of beer for his friends in prison, the picture of the sunset, the faint sunlight sprinkled on his face, reflecting his satisfied smile, the audience will empathize with such a picture, and feel good from the heart.

In the end, the picture when he escaped from prison with open arms and freely faced the storm is also inspiring.

This is the magic of the film, and it is also the director's control of the language of the lens.

When shooting, Sun Yi almost achieved the ultimate in aspects, combining the clips in his mind and his actual shooting experience over the years, he carefully considered each shot, even to the extent of showing off his skills.

And when the film is finished, it can't be edited like this, the director shows off too much, and the audience's viewing experience is also not good, and the most appropriate shots need to be retained.

This requires subtraction, repeated thinking and comparison, and the picture of the original book is not the best, because the script has been changed, the background has also been adjusted, and the actors are different, so it must be considered repeatedly.

"You use this frame lens very well, and it should be kept."

Starry Sky Image, Sun Yi's special editing room, is on fire at the moment, full of smoke, even if the exhaust fan is turned on to the maximum, it can't exhaust the smoke in the room for a while.

Tian Zhuang held half a cigarette and said to Sun Yi while lighting the picture on the screen.

After Sun Yi came back from Jiangcheng, he soaked in the editing room, and Tian Zhuang couldn't let go of this movie, so while the school was still on summer vacation, he followed it like going to work, running to the starry sky every day.

Sun Yi bit the dead skin on his lip and thought for a while before saying: "Could it be a little deliberate, you see, the light here, I have already expressed it during the shooting, and the cold light used on Uncle Zhang's side is expressing his closed heart." ”

Grange took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, shook his head and said: "No, this is the effect of 1 plus 1 is greater than 2, the frequent switching of skills for the sake of showing off will make the audience feel uncomfortable, but not here, it's natural." ”

"You see, you use cold light, the audience's subconscious feeling is depressed, but why is it low, who is down, you have to give the answer to the next picture, it is Zhang Guoli, and in this shot, a window wraps his whole person in it, forming a frame, the audience may not understand, can't say why, but the emotions will be subconsciously empathetic, feel that after Zhang Guoli leaves you, the whole person seems to form a shackle, and re-closed his heart."

"This lens language is subtle and necessary."

The footage of the two research is that Zhang Guoli feels that Sun Yi is still young and should not always be a nurse by his side, but should chase his own dreams, so he chose to change the nurse and let him leave.

However, no one else treats him as a normal friend, a patient or a client relationship. He closed his heart again, feeling that he was a wasted person, living in a state of confusion every day, until the housekeeper saw his state, he couldn't bear it, and called Sun Yi back again, and Sun Yi saw his camera again.

Sun Yi nodded, he also thought so when he was filming, but when he was editing the film at this time, he was a little undecided, afraid that he would be too deliberate, so he hesitated to keep it.

Tian Zhuang looked at Sun Yi although he nodded, but he was still a little ignorant, smiled, pressed the cigarette butt out, waved the smoke in front of him, and said: "Your current state is different from those directors who have made several films and mastered a lot of camera skills, they will express their skills without reservation." ”

"You are much stronger than them, and you have subconsciously thought of starting to do subtraction, and even subconsciously express your own lens language during shooting, to put it bluntly, you have now formed your own directorial style, but you haven't realized it yet, and you still need to summarize and precipitate."

Sun Yi frowned, the directorial style that Mr. Tian Zhuang said, he also faintly felt it when he was filming "Untouchable", but he didn't understand what it was.

So, he asked Tian Zhuang: "Teacher, how did you summarize and precipitate?" ”

Hearing this question, Tian Zhuangleng paused, and then his old face was also red, to be honest, Sun Yi's current level has reached the level where he has been forbidden for ten years before he has figured it out little by little, as for how to summarize and precipitate next, he has been thinking about it for a few years, and he has not yet explored it, so he can't say one, two, three.

In fact, artistic creation is like this, what style, feeling and the like, I can't tell it, everyone has their own way, it is difficult to rely on others to teach, and if you really rely on teaching, you can only be a craftsman, soulless, find your own way, go right, go steady, that is the master.

I can't say it, but it's okay to pretend to be profound.

Tian Zhuang lit a cigarette again, sighed, and began to shake his head and pretend to say to Sun Yi: "This, I don't have anything to teach you, everyone's path is different, my experience may not be applicable to you, if it has a bad impact on you, it is not beautiful, the master leads the door, practice in the individual, ponder more about different types of films, shoot, try, you can probably understand." ”

After speaking, the expression on Tian Zhuang's face brought a touch of expectation and relief, the appearance of a proper generation of grandmasters.

After Sun Yi heard this, he was touched and kept thinking about it in his heart, but after a while, he felt that Teacher Tian had said so much, as if he hadn't said anything. It's the same.

In the following days, Sun Yi soaked in the editing room with Tian Zhuang every day, and when he and Liu Yifei came back from RB, it was already mid-February, and they went to Jiangcheng for two days, and the rest of the time was really tight.

Finally, the two of them worked hard in the editing room for ten days in a row, edited a total of four versions before and after, and finally at the end of the month, they selected the most satisfactory version, and then found professional film and television translators from China Film to produce subtitles in English and French respectively, and finally arranged for the company's staff to deliver them.

The Cannes Film Festival has a corresponding requirement for the collection of entries, which is generally before the middle of March of the current year, and the deadline for entries for this year's Cannes Film Festival is March 10. Films that are not in English or French must be subtitled in English or French before they can be exhibited.

On March 8th, Sun Yi finally received the receipt of the Cannes Organizing Committee, and the stone in his heart was also at the bottom, but he suddenly became idle and had nothing to do, so he sexually harassed and harassed Miss Liu.

"Hey, why do you have time to call me during the day, you're busy with the later stages of the movie?"

"How do you talk, isn't this missing you?"

Liu Yifei's stupid laughter rang on the other side of the phone: "Net liar, you have always been busy until late these days, I don't bring you a phone, you don't bring a sleeping hum, you never contact me during the day, you must be busy with movies." ”

Oops, exposed.

Listening to Xiao Nizi's later tone with a little complaint, Sun Yi hurriedly changed the topic.

"Daughter-in-law, they all say that if you don't see each other for a day, it's like every other autumn, let's all be one, two, three, . I haven't seen you in more than 30 autumns, half a lifetime, if you don't come back, you will have to be widowed. ”

"Bah, what are you talking nonsense!"

"Just kidding."

"Sun Yi, you are not allowed to joke about this."

“.”

The first time I heard Liu Yifei call her name so solemnly, the smile on Sun Yi's face suddenly froze. He really didn't expect that a joke would provoke Liu Yifei's reaction so much.

"Okay, okay, don't open it."

There was silence on the phone for a long time, and then Liu Yifei's apologetic voice came.

"I'm sorry, husband, I was a little excited just now, I was because."

"What's wrong?"

"Well, it's nothing, I miss you so much, I'll go back tomorrow, by the way, what's going on for dinner in a while?"

Xu was afraid that Sun Yi would delve into this issue, so Liu Yifei hurriedly changed the topic and asked about Sun Yi's dinner.

"Oh, dinner, I don't know yet, anyway, I'm alone, just take a bite."

"No, don't fool yourself, otherwise, you go to your uncle and aunt to eat, you haven't been able to accompany them well during the New Year?"

Sun Yi thought about it, too, this year is either going abroad to run publicity, or busy doing the later stage, and he really didn't accompany his parents much, so he simply agreed: "Okay, then I'll go home at night and have a meal." ”

"Uh-huh, that's the best thing, let's go quickly."

"Uh-huh."

Putting down the phone, Sun Yi came back to his senses, was Xiao Nizi going to say something just now, and was overturned by her dinner.

Forget it, let's wait until we meet tomorrow and ask, it's not bad for this day.

There will be another chapter in a moment.
