Chapter 289 Factors connecting Chinese and Western in the movie
Li Yu was very interested in such a thing, and immediately asked: "What kind of lens is more suitable for our movie? If you can shoot such a classic lens, you will be the first to do it."
Yuan Heping shook his head and said: "It's hard to say exactly. Chinese Kung Fu is now more and more accepted by the West. Therefore, at this time, there are very few Kung Fu that Westerners have not seen. We want to film it."
The real classic is to find an action shot that really makes Westerners shine, and then use the rainstorm editing method to make the entire shot appear to have a strong visual impact."
At this time, Yuan Heping mentioned a relatively unpopular editing technique. As a director of literary and artistic films, Li Yu naturally had rarely heard of this editing technique. He immediately asked: "Heavy Rain Editing Method"
, what characteristics does it have, and how can it help our movie?" Although he has never heard of this editing technique, what Li Yu is actually concerned about is that in such a situation, what kind of impact will it have on himself?
How helpful is the movie? If it is helpful, then it is not impossible to use it.
Yuan Heping explained: "To give a simple example, the same is true for heavy rains in nature. No matter how heavy a rainstorm is, its true state is not a continuous water column as seen by our eyes.
The reason why heavy rain causes the feeling of continuous water columns falling from the sky is because our eyes have an innate "defect", which is "persistence of vision".
It is our own eyes that connect the raindrops one by one. Therefore, we will use "heavy rain like pillars" to describe extremely heavy rains. Because in such overwhelming rainstorms, we cannot see the raindrops clearly at all.
What you see are just countless rain pillars "hanging" between the sky and the earth. That kind of visual shock is the real powerful impact that people feel. A kind of shock from the heart. The movie's
Editing sometimes can also cause the psychological effect of "storming like pillars" to the audience, because the effect requires such a powerful shock, especially when it reaches a real climax, pay special attention to this point. Especially
In Chinese martial arts action movies, brave, fierce fighting movements and fast, intensive editing will form a continuous torrent of visual images, causing a strong psychological impact on the audience.
It's as if an invisible hand reaches out from the screen into the audience's heart, grabbing the audience's heart fiercely.
War or disaster movies are sometimes a common technique. In action movies, we call this editing method "rainstorm editing" or "storm editing".
That is to say, the film makes the original single, intermittent movie shots form a fast, complete, and continuous image narrative chain by minimizing the time and space distance between the shots. This "iconic"
The editing grammar is exactly the aesthetic style of Chinese martial arts action movies. Among kung fu movies, this is a style unique to our country's movies."
As a famous martial arts instructor, Yuan Heping naturally has two skills, especially when it comes to action movies, which are like treasures.
Li Eucalyptus frowned and said, "In other words, you need a suitable classic lens to be able to use such editing techniques, right?"
Naturally, if there are no action scenes, then on a question like this, it is actually more like a castle in the air. There is nothing anyone can do.
Yuan Heping nodded and said: "That's right, but it takes a certain amount of time to design an action shot like this, and it needs to be the kind of action shot that Westerners accept. This is very difficult to grasp.
Mr. Ye is also a kung fu master, what are his views on such things?"
Ye Ming's kung fu was better than his, and Yuan Heping could tell this at a glance. An expert would know if he had any when he stretched out his hand.
Ye Ming has actually been thinking about this issue. Even when he arrived at the shooting scene just now, he took a moment to ask what the system was like, classics, and what kind of action scenes can connect things.
Classic action shots.
The system gave an answer [Permeability, classics need to be passed down and permeated. Even if we talk about Michael Jackson's space walk, it doesn't mean that he was the first to create it. It just means that Jackson himself summed up the experience of his predecessors and added it.
He innovated and then carried it forward. It has become his signature action, so inheritance is very important. It is recommended that the shot of the protagonist Neo dodging bullets in The Matrix is a very classic shot, which at least makes people feel
It's an amazing feeling, but there is no inheritance. It seems to be a step forward to the shot of dodging bullets, which seems a bit abrupt. It is recommended that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon use dodging bows and arrows. Luo Xiaohu dodges the overwhelming bows and arrows for an instant, and then
, one person directly overthrew five officials, establishing the core status of the big bandit leader.】
At this moment, the system simulated a scene for Ye Ming. Luo Xiaohu came galloping on horseback, dismounted, and when he walked in front of the crowd, he raised the scimitar in his hand to clean up the officials, but what greeted him was an overwhelming barrage of bows and arrows.
At this time, Luo Xiaohu used evasive movements, avoiding the overwhelming barrage of bows and arrows, while dashing towards the official officer in a dashing way.
At this moment, it was when Yuan Heping asked Ye Ming, Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his brow with his hand and said: "Actually, if you want to find a lens of a scenic spot, that's not to say that there is no way, but it means to find it."
It's just a condition that runs through things. As long as there is such a condition, the movie will have a strong sense of identity. Only when there is a sense of identity, the box office will naturally increase."
This method is actually very clear to Yuan Heping, but if you want to find such a sense of identity, it cannot be found in a day or two. At this time, Yang Ziqiong said unceremoniously: "That sounds nice, I think.
It is not an easy thing to find a sense of identity. Bruce Lee conquered the West with close combat, Jackie Chan conquered the West with courage to fight, and the rest are still a little behind. I have never been to Hollywood.
, you would never have imagined how exclusive it is.”
Although Yang Ziqiong's words are a bit aimed at Ye Ming, the last sentence is actually correct. Hollywood is a place that seems to be very free and open, but it is very hierarchical and has clear barriers. If you want to get rid of it,
How difficult it would be to carve out a bloody path.
Yang Ziqiong is someone who goes to Hollywood to shoot movies, so her views are relatively objective.
In fact, Yang Ziqiong didn't really believe that Ye Ming could come up with any good ideas, so he mocked Ye Ming without politeness.
As for Zhang Ziyi, she actually thinks this matter is quite difficult. Yuan Heping has no solution. Can Ye Ming have any clever tricks? Doesn't it mean that Ye Ming is better than Ye Ming in terms of martial arts instruction?
But after all, Zhang Ziyi felt that she wanted to act opposite Ye Ming. If she offended Ye Ming at this time, no matter what she said, it would not be of any benefit to her.
Therefore, even if Zhang Ziyi was not convinced about Ye Ming, she still did not say anything.
Ye Ming didn't seem to be angry because of Yang Ziqi's words, and said with a smile: "I'm not talking about this in general. Generally speaking, Hollywood looks down on any film company outside the United States, but I'm talking about a shot, as long as it is
Say what you have done is good enough, and with this feeling that Westerners will recognize it, Western audiences will recognize it, and Hollywood will naturally recognize it. It is possible for Hollywood to do the right thing with anyone and any foreign film company, but
They will definitely not have trouble with the box office. I think bows and arrows are a better sense of identity. Whether it is Eastern or Western historical wars, bows and arrows are no strangers in front of the movie camera. Therefore, bows and arrows are a good
Carrier."
When Ye Ming said these words, there was a moment of silence. Ye Ming was right. Bows and arrows, no matter whether they are in the East or in the West, have no barriers and are weapons that they agree with.
Bows and arrows are used in some movies, which is also a very common scene. It is even said that the weapon of Sagittarius in the Western constellation is bow and arrow, so it can be seen that bows and arrows are deeply rooted in the bones of Westerners.
At this time, Li Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. Bows and arrows, yes, bows and arrows are indeed a good carrier. He immediately said excitedly: "This is a good idea, Mr. Ye, continue."
At this time, Ye Ming thought for a while, expressed his general meaning, and finally said: "Think about it, in the storm of bows and arrows, Luo Xiaohu swayed with the wind like a swaying tree branch, and it was shown in slow motion.
, Luo Xiaohu can dodge all the bows and arrows, what an exciting scene it is."
When this lens was brought up, Li Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. It was indeed a good idea, but then he became a little disappointed: "What Mr. Ye said is good, but if you want to really shoot, I'm afraid you have to use
With special effects, it’s very difficult to dodge bows and arrows.”
In Li Yu's opinion, this is an impossible task. Therefore, if you want to achieve such an effect, then under such a situation, you must use special effects. And it means using Hollywood's special effects. A powerful special effects team.
It is impossible for an ordinary special effects team to complete such a task.
But using good special effects will cost you money.
This makes Li Yu very worried. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
