One Thousand Three Hundred Nepotism

As members of the film festival jury, it is not as easy as they imagined. They must maintain a high degree of concentration and watch 20 difficult art films in just 12 days. The action is two and a half hours or three hours. In addition, there are media interviews and social parties, which are under high frequency and high intensity almost every day.

This is just the main competition unit. They may need to watch more if necessary.

The media often spread rumors that one of the judges fell asleep during the viewing. This is not slander, but fact. But I can't blame them. The judging work of the film festival is a severe test of mental and physical strength; coupled with some art films, the pace is indeed slow and it is easy to fall asleep. The judges are mortals after all.

Obviously, what Ang Lee said to Renly just now was a joke, a complaint, or a rant.

Renly didn't care at all, his smile bloomed and his mood rose, "How can you be sure that I didn't feel refreshed because I enjoyed the film festival too much?"

"Sophistry. Everyone knows that Renly Hall is eloquent, and I refuse to argue with you." Li An pretended to be serious, but his eyes were full of smiles, as if he saw an elder who was close to a younger generation.

At this year's Oscars ceremony, Renly and Ang Lee once had a relationship.

The brief conversation left a deep impression. Regarding the interpretation of oriental culture in the film "The Fantastic Drift of the Young Pi", about reincarnation, about fate, and about philosophy, Renly's views and insights really made Ang Lee's eyes. Bright.

Although the work has been acclaimed in Hollywood, the esoteric and complex Eastern culture is rarely understood by Western film critics. Western filmmakers spy on eastern culture, often with a curious perspective, depicting an eastern country in their impression, but it is very far away from the real eastern culture.

As a "British" Renly, his interpretation and understanding are more valuable. That conversation really left a deep impression on Li An.

"How is it, did you see any works worth discussing this time?" Li An asked with a smile, and he actually started to take the test, continuing the elder's attitude.

"'Adele's life'." Renly's answer was simple and clear without any hesitation, and then he saw Li An's mouth rise slightly, raised his right hand, tapped Renly twice, and then again It's helpless, funny, and reproach. Renly didn't quibble, and spread his hands calmly, "I knew you would like it."

If Ang Lee's film strokes represent the Western world in the eyes of an oriental person, then "Adele's Life" presents the Western world in the eyes of French people, delicately capturing the plight and difficulties of the middle class with life-like fragments. confused. This is precisely the style that Ang Lee loves.

So, Renly's answer, is it catering to Ang Lee's preferences?

Li An laughed dumbly and deliberately made things difficult, "Do you think I like it as an audience, or as a judge?"

"Both." Ren Li answered bluntly, looking at Li An's irrefutable expression, Ren Li jabbed slightly, a smile flashing in his eyes.

However, Li An deliberately raised his face, "So do you think I would like 'Drunken Country Ballads'?"

"As an audience, or as a judge?" The same sentence was applied to Li An by Ren Li, but the effect was completely different.

Li An was stunned for a while, and then he tasted it. After all, he still didn't speak. He shook his head with a smile on his face. As a judge, he still has to remain objective and avoid talking about films as much as possible during the festival, for anyone.

So, just click on it so far. He then changed the subject, "How are you, are you ready to start acting again?"

"Are you working on a new work?" Ren Li's eyes brightened slightly.

He asked briskly, "You know, if it's your work, I have absolutely no problem with it."

Renly was serious.

In fact, after "The Fantastic Drifting of the Youth Pie", Ang Lee, like many master directors, began to explore the depth and thickness of the film's story given by the language of the lens, so he used 3D technology and 12o frame new technology to shoot "" Billy Lynn's midfield battle".

According to experiments, the visual persistence time of the human eye is about 0.1 second, so as long as the screen switching rate is greater than 12 frames per second, the human eye will connect the previous frame of the persistent image with the next frame of the picture. up to form a continuous visual experience.

Generally speaking, the film adopts 24 frame rate, that is, you can see 24 frames per second. This is the lowest level that can make the human eye not feel stuck in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally used to save film, but it has been kept until now. , more of a habit of inheritance.

The 12o frame rate means that there will be one hundred and twenty pictures in every second, which is five times higher, which means that the pictures will be more delicate, richer and more specific, but at the same time, the human eye will also be under greater pressure. Can't even process enough information to get tired and stuck.

For the director and the audience, they can more clearly and accurately capture the performance details and inner changes of each character, and truly bring the audience into the character's inner world. For Ang Lee, the 12o frame is undoubtedly a pioneering technology that takes his strengths to the extreme.

But unfortunately, "Billy Lynn's midfield battle" failed. The media word of mouth will not collapse, but it is far below expectations; the box office results and the prospects of the awards season are even more misfired. This also makes many fans question Ang Lee's ability.

There are two main reasons for the failure of this work.

First, Ang Lee tried to understand the impact of the Iraq War on American soldiers from his perspective, but his usual strengths became weaknesses this time. His oriental values ​​did not hit the itch of Americans, and the entire core value was Missing, which also means that the 12o frame technology has not been able to further amplify the expected resonance and enhance its influence and penetration.

Second, the 12o frame technology amplifies the performance of actors to the extreme, which also means that performance is the foundation and structure that supports Ang Lee's entire creative core, but Kristen Stewart and Vin Diesel appear in the list of actors , Garnett Hedlund and many other actors, their performances often lack facial expressions and eye depth, and the layers and details are completely insufficient. In the 12o frame technology, it further magnifies the shortcomings of the rigid performance, further Influenced the sublimation of the core theme.

In other words, "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle" is a well-conceived but poorly executed work that ultimately fails to deliver the desired effect.

But after the work failed, Ang Lee insisted that his idea was correct, and he would continue to study the viewing experience brought about by this technology. The next work will continue to use 12o frame technology to complete the shooting.

If the director is Ang Lee, Renly would be willing to take over even knowing that the next work is "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle". It is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration with such a talented director. Renly is willing to be bold try. Sometimes some things are not judged and selected solely by success or failure.

Ang Lee could feel the enthusiasm in Ren Li's eyes, and he didn't have the slightest doubt, but he couldn't help but joke, "Isn't there any problem with 'Hulk'?"

"The Hulk", this commercial film was the biggest failure of Ang Lee's directorial career. Aside from the quality of the finished product, it is certain that Ang Lee's style is indeed not suitable for commercial films, and his delicacy and gentleness are more suitable for emotional communication and dialogue.

What's more, the Hulk is a Marvel series.

"...Uh, can we change the subject?" Renly pretended to be embarrassed and looked away with a guilty conscience, but it was precisely such a "powerful" response that successfully made Li An clapp his hands and laugh happily. stand up.

Few people know that Li An is a personality who likes to joke very much in private, and he is not taboo on topics. A far cry from his style.

"What? What are you talking about? Don't you know that it's better to keep a distance between the film festival judges and the main creative team of the main competition work to avoid nepotism?"

A voice with a strong smile came from right in front of him, Ang Lee and Renly both turned their heads, and then saw the figure of Steven Spielberg, he strode over, "If you want to get closer, at least you can't be in front of reporters, and it's still on the red carpet. It's not good."

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "If it's for the sake of getting closer, wouldn't it be a better choice in front of reporters?"

Steven and Ang Lee exchanged glances and laughed lightly at the same time, and in the end, Steven put his hands behind his back, posing as an elder, "You'd better look forward to it, tonight's movie is a Excellent masterpiece, you have given a wonderful performance, otherwise I will never show mercy in the jury discussion."

Renly nodded politely, and then closed his mouth with a good-natured look.

There is no answer, the action is first, but the meaning is really obvious.

The two big directors couldn't help laughing again, Steven patted Renly's arm, "Come in. Nicole sent me out to save you, you've been on the red carpet for nearly an hour, but obviously, The reporters still haven't let you go. But more importantly, we've all been waiting impatiently, when will the movie be available?"
