Chapter 608 Interpretation of Love(1/3)
night, studio.
All departments of the crew are operating, and the studio is under construction.
At the edge of the director's area in front of the monitor, Chu Xuan was sitting on a small bench, holding a box lunch in his hand and eating.
The dish is a mix of roast duck and beef slices, with broccoli and diced carrots, corn kernels as side dishes, and a nightly soup on the floor.
The rice was bought from a restaurant called Jingcheng Authentic Roast Duck, but the roasted duck was not authentic, and it didn’t have the flavor of Jingcheng Roast Duck, but it was better than nothing, so I made do with it.
Liu Yifei was not around, and the mother-in-law was out shopping again. Chu Xuan was bored staying alone in the hotel, so he simply came to the set to spend a day and watch his actor friends filming.
While he was eating, he raised his head from time to time and looked at the picture on the monitor through the gap between people's heads.
All day today, Tang Jili was filming using the wrap-around camera technique he had figured out to improve his proficiency in this camera technique.
Since his technique was still very unfamiliar, the filming process was not smooth. From the morning until now, the thing he heard most was the word "ka" in Tang Ji.
Although it didn't go well, the atmosphere of the crew was very good, which was very different from the gloomy atmosphere when the first day didn't go well. This was closely related to the mood of the director in Tang Jili.
Tang Ji kept shouting "click" all day long, but his camerawork became more and more proficient with each shooting.
Tang Jili saw that he had made some progress, and even if the filming was not going well, he was in a good mood.
If Tang Jili is in a good mood, the entire crew is in a good mood and the actors are also very relaxed.
Chu Xuan saw all this in his eyes. It can be said that the state of the director determines the state of the entire crew. This made him wonder what he would be like as a director in the future.
And every improvement in Tang Ji's mirror movement can be clearly felt by him and the teachers.
After spending a day playing with the shots in Tang Ji, his biggest impression of this wrap-around camera technique was the ever-changing changes under subtle angle differences.
In one scene, the camera is positioned from Chenglong's perspective, looking at the ruins scene in green cloth.
For the first shooting, Tang Jili used a horizontal angle and panned to the left to capture the entire scene and show the grandeur of the scene.
For the second shot, Tang Jili used a 15-degree bird's-eye view, and also panned to the left, but the picture quality was completely different from the first time.
Taking Tiananmen as an example, the first shot is equivalent to a person walking from right to left in front of Tiananmen, looking straight at Tiananmen.
The second shot was taken from a mid-air view of Tiananmen Square, which is equivalent to a person walking from right to left in mid-air of Tiananmen Square, looking down at the entire Tiananmen Square.
Compared with the former, the latter naturally shows the grandeur of the scene.
The difference between the two is just a small difference between looking at 0 degrees and looking down at 15 degrees.
The difference is so small, but they have two completely different effects.
This reminded Chu Xuan of a sentence in "Marxist Theory": Art is an active understanding of the world in its own unique way.
The "self" here refers to art itself, which exists in the world in a unique way, and it can be a "dynamic" existence.
Just like Tiananmen Square, it exists in the real world. It is a static object, but it "can move".
Its "activity" lies in the fact that when you look at it from different angles, it will present different aesthetics.
Its "activity" can also be reflected in the fact that people can view an object from different perspectives, and the object can also view people from the focus of the lens.
This is the wonderful thing about lens language. Different angles can produce different effects. It depends on whether the director has enough and unique lens imagination.
After watching and studying for a day, Chu Xuan suddenly had the urge to become a director immediately.
"Wow, Sissi, where have you been? You are dressed so formally."
Zhang Yuqi's voice broke Chu Xuan's thinking atmosphere. He turned around and saw Liu Yifei coming in her white high-heeled shoes.
He knew that Liu Yifei’s negotiations with Macron ended.
"Going to play." Liu Yifei responded to the greeting and came to Chu Xuan happily: "I'm back."
Chu Xuan looked at her outfit and still felt funny.
Wearing a suit to go shopping, she didn't know how to go back and change clothes before coming back. This silly girl really didn't know what was wrong with her clothes, and her thoughts were still very simple.
Liu Yifei didn't reveal her secrets, so he didn't tell her: "What did you buy?"
Liu Yifei said she was going shopping, but seeing that she didn’t have anything in her hands, Chu Xuan was about to tease her.
Liu Yifei moved a stool and sat down. She was talking about things in Macron today. She had no time to go shopping and buy things. Anyway, she was going to confess to Chu Xuan later, and she didn't care if Chu Xuan would be suspicious.
She said casually and perfunctorily: "I didn't like it, so I didn't buy it. I just went shopping."
She glanced at the beef on the chopsticks in Chu Xuan's hand, said "Ah~" and opened her mouth slightly.
Chu Xuan fed the beef into her mouth. Liu Yifei stroked her hair while eating: "Why don't you just have dinner? It's after eight o'clock."
"I became addicted to watching the filming, and it was already eight o'clock when I realized it." Chu Xuan said.
Liu Yifei put her elbows on her thighs, supported her face with her palms, looked at her boyfriend eating, and asked playfully: "Where did you go to play today?"
"I've been on the set all day." Chu Xuan took the last bite of rice. Seeing that there was still a piece of beef left in the lunch box, which was Liu Yifei's favorite, he picked it up and fed it to Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei took the beef into her mouth and was slightly surprised: "You have been on the set all day? Then why didn't you call me? I thought you were crazy."
Chu Xuan threw the lunch box aside, picked up the small white tofu soup box and finished it in one gulp. He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth: "I'm afraid it will disturb your interest in playing."
"Then you're not worried about my safety?" Liu Yifei said, pretending to be unhappy: "You don't care about me at all."
Chu Xuan stood up and threw the lunch box and soup box into the trash can. He turned around and said, "I cared about you so much in the morning and sincerely wanted to be your guardian. If you don't like it, if I don't call you for a day, I don't care about you. I really don't care about you."
It’s… pretentious.”
He joked and extended his hand to Liu Yifei.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Yifei laughed, took his hand, stood up, and patted him.
Chu Xuan waved to the teachers: "Director Tang, brother, we are going back first."
In Tang Ji, Chenglong and others turned their heads and nodded.
"Bye." Liu Yifei also said hello, and was led out by Chu Xuan's hand.
Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yifei beside him, her workplace attire was very offensive.
He wanted to say some words of appreciation, but he didn't want Liu Yifei to realize that her dress and lies were full of contradictions. He just wanted to see how long Liu Yifei could keep pretending.
Liu Yifei was thinking about how Chu Xuan would react when she confessed to Chu Xuan when she went back to the hotel next time. In addition, she was a little tired from thinking about it for a day. After getting in the car, she leaned on Chu Xuan's shoulder to rest, feeling heartbroken.
With Xiao Jiujiu.
The young couple was speechless all the way until they returned to the hotel.
Chu Xuan opened the door with his card. Liu Yifei followed and walked in. She closed the door with her backhand and said, "I want to tell you something."
Chu Xuan pressed the light switch in the living room on the wall. When the light came on, he looked at Liu Yifei.
He saw a hint of expectation in Liu Yifei's eyes, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Liu Yifei was going to confess?
As he expected, Liu Yifei confessed the "big secret" that had been hidden for nearly four months since October last year, showing off with anticipation, waiting to see Chu Xuan's expression of surprise and praise.
"Elland has a boyfriend, Jack, as I told you."
"Well, what's wrong?"
Chu Xuan walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, taking the remote control and turning on the TV.
"His boyfriend's family has a company called Macron, which is a film and television production company in Hollywood. It's pretty good."
"Then what?"
Liu Yifei sat next to Chu Xuan. She was not interested in the TV screen and looked at Chu Xuan with interest.
She recounted her exchanges with Ellender, the love between Ellender and Jack, and the various situations in Jack's home.
She added: "You and Sister Hua have said before that the best way for Bright Era to develop overseas business is to cooperate with overseas companies, right?"
"right."
To get to the point, Liu Yifei took off her shoes, crossed her legs and faced Chu Xuan.
She took a stance, and she firmly believed that what she said next would shock Chu Xuan's jaw.
"If I said that I have already negotiated cooperation with this Macron company, would you believe it?"
Liu Yifei was in high spirits, waiting for Chu Xuan's super surprised expression.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan's reaction was ordinary: "Oh, what next?"
Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, what is your reaction?
"Let me tell you, Macron Film and Television is not bad at it. It has a very professional special effects farm, a very professional studio, and all the high-end equipment. It is still a well-established Haolaiwu company that has been in business for more than ten years!"
"If Bright Times can reach a cooperation with Macron Film and Television, then Bright Times will have overseas business and then feed it back to China, which will definitely accelerate the development of Bright Times."
Liu Yifei thought that she had not explained clearly, so she explained the matter in more detail.
Because she wanted to prove herself, she spoke very fast.
She stretched out a finger and said seriously: "Now, I have negotiated the cooperation intention with Macron Film and Television. I am just waiting for their reply. It is enough for you and Sister Hua to complete the follow-up."
Liu Yifei stared at Chu Xuan intently, expecting Chu Xuan's surprised reaction.
But Chu Xuan still didn't react at all. He even leisurely took an apple from the coffee table and took a bite: "Then what?"
Liu Yifei frowned and punched him: "What's your reaction? Aren't you surprised that I did such a big thing?"
