Disaster Artist

"You should be more than that."

How should this sentence be understood?

Does it mean that Lu Qian should have a broader mind and accept different opinions calmly; or should Lu Qian have a bolder and more unique shooting inspiration, dare to break the frame and make different attempts?

Perhaps, both.

In fact, before Chen Mu appeared, Lu Qian was not in a daze or angry, but was thinking.

Leaving the relatively closed and narrow environment of the conference room and the tit-for-tat atmosphere of the conference room, Lu Qian slowly regained his composure.

Then, Lu Qian thought seriously about Chen Mu's words——

Is the blue filter really too cliché?

In any creative field, "routine" has always been a double-edged sword. New wine in old bottles may fall into the stereotype of self-repetition, but it is also possible for old trees to bloom and new flowers to show different characteristics, just like the fashion industry. The retro trend is generally in general, and it is difficult to simply judge whether the routine is good or bad.

Using a blue filter to present a cold, sad, and chilling picture effect is a very common and routine operation method for psychological thriller movies.

But the question is, is it suitable for "tourists"? Does it live up to expectations for the ideal effect Lu Qian had constructed in his mind?

Involuntarily, Lu Qian thought of the movie "Manchester by the Sea".

That year, "Manchester by the Sea" received numerous acclaim after its release, and it won a lot of awards during the awards season. Directing Movies".

What's the meaning?

The excellence of the film is reflected in the script and in the performance, but the director is missing in the work.

Therefore, later "Manchester by the Sea" won two golden statues for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor at the Oscars, but it failed to get more recognition at the director level.

Kenneth-Longergan has been a screenwriter since he entered the film industry, and has received many recognitions in the field of screenwriting throughout his career, "You Can Trust Me", "Gangs of New York", "Margaret", etc. All of them are works that have received a lot of recognition from the script.

However, in the director position, he handed over a total of three works, "You Can Trust Me", "Margaret", "Manchester by the Sea", but the shortcomings of the three works at the director level are obvious. , he lacked a little touch in the use of space, the creation of tones, and the scheduling of shots, especially in terms of rhythm control and shot selection, which limited the quality of the finished product.

Is 'Manchester by the Sea' a good movie? Yes.

But the film exposes many shortcomings at the director level.

"Manchester by the Sea" chose a blue filter, and the tone of the entire film is light blue.

What about "tourists"?

Lu Qian hopes to present a mechanical, estranged, rigid yet absurd, dark, and eerie humorous effect in the film "Tourist". Laughing and not sure what type of laugh you should be laughing, the blue filter really seems too simple.

Could it be that Lu Qian is really lazy? After all, they have spent too much time and energy on the composition, shot scheduling, and lighting design.

But if you don't use a blue filter, what filter should you use?

The entire Wild Mane is covered with white snow, which also means that white is the main body, and the sunlight reflection is particularly serious. If the filter is too heavy, the realism of the film may be broken.

Is there a better alternative to the blue filter?

Lu Qian is also thinking, and Lu Qian is also reflecting.

Then, Chen Mu appeared.

Looking at Chen Mu who lowered his head to avoid his gaze, the smile on Lu Qian's mouth rose slightly.

"Then what is your suggestion?"

Chen Mu didn't expect Lu Qian's reaction at all, and suddenly raised his head to look over, very surprised that Lu Qian was willing to open up possibilities to listen to opinions?

"In the conference room just now, you've just been against the blue filter and never came up with a better option."

"That's because your ears are so hard that you can't hear any opinions at all, so I need to try my best to refute it."

One come, one go.

When Lu Qian said a word, Chen Mu was about to say it.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, but this time Chen Mu restrained his emotions, took a deep breath, and did not continue to raise the bar.

"Yellow filter."

What?

Lu Qian was very, very surprised by Chen Mu's choice, which was definitely an unconventional imagination.

Although people's associations with colors may vary due to various reasons, they also have a considerable degree of commonality. Whether it is photography or design, the tones conveyed by images and pictures can bring people a relatively unified emotional image. It is undoubtedly a factor that must be considered in the creative process.

Among them, yellow is like the sun, which comes from the general impression of human beings on nature, so yellow can often convey a positive spirit, suddenly bright, bright and happy, reflecting the image of youth and sunshine, such as hope, such as vitality , such as energy, such as pleasure and so on.

Yellow is the brightest hue among colors. When shooting images, it is the first choice for brightening the picture most of the time. Bright hues can give the picture more vitality, such as midsummer sunshine, such as sunflower fields, such as yellow skirts. And so on, often used as a positive element.

Of course, because yellow is too bright and its character is very unstable, it may lose its original appearance if it is mixed with other colors a little, and different tones express different emotional tones. Yellow looks retro and nostalgic.

Clearly, yellow is a jumping, lively, bright hue.

But the "tourist" chooses the yellow filter?

sure?

Because it was too bold, too risky, and too unexpected, Lu Qian calmed down instead~www.novelmt.com~ did not refute Chen Mu, but studied it carefully.

Instead, Ji Xu was taken aback, "Chen Mu, are you crazy?"

Chen Mu glanced at Ji Xu and said speechlessly, "In front of Lu Qian, I dare not say that I am a lunatic. Did you forget when you discussed the composition of the picture and the position of the camera?"

Ji Xu:  …

Chen Mu ignored Ji Xu, but turned to look at Lu Qian and continued to express his thoughts.

"Certainly not bright shades like lemon yellow or cream yellow, but a dark shade between straw and chrome, but it can add a touch of warmth to the picture."

"Yes, you heard me right, I wanted to make the shot look warm."

Does the opposite create a contrast?

"I don't know if you have noticed the whole environment of Wild Mane. In addition to white, the most prominent ones are blue and green. I think we can give full play to the factors of the geographical environment and make the camera picture show different textures."
