Li An, Chinese director no.1!

This is not recognized, but in the eyes of some people, by the way, the top five Chinese directors in their eyes: Hou Hsiao-hsien, Wong Kar-wai, Yang Dechang, Li An and Cai Mingliang...

There is no Zhang Yimou, and no Chen Kai...

As for Lu Xiaoran…

who is he?

Just a director who made a commercial film!

There are two bad money!

"Gravity" is a special effect film with Marvel!

Anyway, "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" has not been released yet, and a lot of people have expressed their expectations. Go and read Douban (I mean now), and the hot reviews are the first:

‘Ann Lee used his deep oriental philosophy to make an American main theme movie. Uncle An, who was older than the age of knowing destiny, became more peaceful but sharp. He watched Uncle An say on stage that movies are his dreams and his beliefs. He challenged new technologies just to make dreams clearer, and burst into tears in an instant. Having seen so many directors, only Ann Lee said that movies are faith, I believe it.’

Brother, tell me where can you tell me about "Billy Lynn's Midfield War"?

No, is it okay if you lick it a little logical?

What is the difference between this thing and "Zhu Xian"'s praise for "sacrificing acting is impressive!"?

...

First definition: "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" is not a niche movie!

Investing $40 million!

It was basically all Bona’s vote for Yu Dong, who boasted last year that Bona will win 10 billion box office this year. The biggest source of confidence is "Billy Lynn's Midfield War"...

According to common sense, "Pi's Fantasy Drift" won more than 500 million box office, but in 2012, "Billy Lynn" would definitely earn more box offices four years later!

Because the market has expanded!

Therefore, Yu Dong is full of confidence...

That's why he will have a big premiere to promote "Billy Lynn"...

Also, "Billy Lynn" is not a so-called experimental movie!

I said earlier: As a pioneering attempt, experimental movies are basically multi-faceted experiments of technology, performance, narrative and other means, and in the end they rarely choose cinemas to recycle costs.

Taking $40 million to experiment with a new machine is just a plus point on the business path of "Billy Lynn" rather than a core content.

Although Director Li An Da has always had the guise of an art film director, please don’t forget that Director Li has never lost money in all Hollywood film works before "Billy Lynn", and Li An has never been a director of a niche movie.

Of course, no one knows what director Li Anda thought. Maybe he just used other people's money to play his own 120 frames, 4d...

Also, "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" is an adaptation of the best-selling "Long Intermission" in North America. The original work is very famous and has been selected as the 12 must-read books for BBC this century!

...

The number of frames in a movie is the number of pictures.

The 24-frame movie that everyone is familiar with is that 24 frames of pictures are shown in front of people every second, and due to the visual stay effect, a continuous action image is formed.

Simply put, the so-called 120 frames is the doubled of the picture clarity of 120 frames per second!

So, Lu Xiaoran clearly saw the 3D wrinkle on the face of the actor in "Billy Lynn"...

It was filled with a lot of facial close-ups, and the shots that originally needed the medium shot were pushed very close without hesitation. Almost every character was wearing a red nose and bloodshot cheeks and eyes. This was the original intention or side effect of using this technology. The director tried to make everything look very clear in this work.

Lu Xiaoran is a little embarrassed...

Too clear, he gave him an illusion: he eliminated a certain texture unique to the movie, like watching high-definition TV.

As for the plot, it's really a soap opera!

The narrative of this movie is completely different from what Li An can shoot!

Very disappointed...

Let me briefly introduce "Billy Lynn": People who are regarded as heroes in the real war will have to be included in a performance once they return to the common sense. Once everything Lynn and his comrades experience enters the image, explanation, chant and report, they are all entertained. Their fear, pride and sadness are transformed into a symbol and fixed format, and are then consumed.

Finally, they chose to return to the battlefield...

For others, only there can this group of people truly maintain the appearance of heroes, which is the most cruel!

This is the most touching part of this movie!

However, Li An seemed to be busy showing new technologies and did not polish the narrative carefully...

Just a simple and straightforward story, there is no point in it...

After the movie screening, Lu Xiaoran was invited to the stage to invite him to talk to Li An...

The host is Shadan, the curator of the Film Archive. He is a die-hard fan of Li An. The most famous sentence is: "Godard said that the movie began with Griffith and ended with Abbas. What Uncle An wants to do is to be Griffith in the 21st century."

He firmly believed that Li An could change the history of film...

So, as the host, the topic was sure that Wan Fenghui was heading in 120 frames. He first discussed the meaning of 120 frames to the movie with Li An, and then talked for 4 days. Finally, he asked Lu Xiaoran: "Director Lu had an idea to challenge 120 frames after watching "Billy Lynn"?"

"...No, the "Georgeous" and "Martian Rescue" we filmed are already the most advanced technology. The camera we use is Panaveshen movie camera + imax camera, which is a shocking picture that can only be felt by the cinema!"

Lu Xiaoran shook his head without hesitation...

By the way, the direction of the film is never linear and clearer. Compared with technology, its value is still based on emotions."

"I think many scenes in "Billy Lynn" are too clear and they lose the texture of the movie!"

He didn't give Li An any face, and directly questioned: "Why do you have to use 120 frames to go to the eye scene? Don't you think that being too clear will cause trouble for the audience to watch the movie?"

Shadan: "Don't you think 120 frames is the future?"

"I don't think that someone told me that VR movies are the future. I believe it, but you told me that 120 frames are the future, and I don't believe a word!"

After a pause, Lu Xiaoran continued: "The nature of a movie is to make you unable to grasp the boundary between the "virtual" plot and the "real" visual experience. The most difficult thing is this situation of looking back and forth. 120 frames are too clear, which leads to 120 frames not replacing 24 frames and becoming the mainstream in the future."

"24 frames are the best golden ratio of yin and yang, virtual and real, and monitoring can make the higher the frame rate, the better. There is no need to deliberately pursue the highest clarity, as bright as possible. Too brightness is a kind of fearful pursuit, and the human eye cannot see clearly!"

"But I believe that 120 frames will become a technical means!"

"The biggest function of 120 frames should be to capture and restore the action details, and action films that emphasize visual effects, science fiction films and war films can be widely used... Let's forget about the drama film!"

"…I don't really agree with Director Lu's statement..."
