Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 96: director style

The identity of a director has always been a profession with strong personal senses. For the same film, perhaps because of the difference in what the individual thinks and the core theme and focus of the film, the result is that the material is obviously the same. , but in the end, it became two completely different films.

The degree of the power of the different styles can be seen.

Of course, the kind of director that exists only as a filming machine is no longer in the concept of film production. For details, please refer to the 007 series, the Harry Potter series...

This kind of series of films where the script story is bigger than the director's idea has always been not allowed to display the director's personal style.

This is also the reason why the series of movies, changing directors back and forth, can still ensure that the directing style will not change.

Be the same, take care of fans, that's all.

Going back to the movie Fury, what does Lyman want for a movie?

Or what is his style?

"The plot follows the characters, and try to portray the characters as much as possible."

In the editing room of Europa Pictures, after more than a month of editing, the material for the film finally came to the final shape.

Under the influence of Lyman, this fury is completely unrecognizable compared to the original, if it is still a tank-based war theme, it is really not related at all. The fastest update of Qiqi novel https://

From the time of filming, he intentionally changed the construction of the shooting scene, and until now, it has been slowly merged into a story about human nature that he wants to express.

After listening to Lyman's request, Thomas nodded and started the work at hand.

In Thomas' view, this movie is all about portraying the characters and promoting the plot, which should be based on the growth of the characters.

In this case, it is more appropriate to put the editing perspective on the characters, rather than the big scenes, to work hard for the depth of the film and weaken those meaningless things.

From Paul buried alive, to Rancher, Raja, Farhan in Bollywood, to Sergeant and Norman in Fury, Lyman's style has never changed, that is, portraying characters, Improve the flesh and blood on the character.

As an exclusive photographer who wants to become Lyman's side, Thomas sees it thoroughly and understands this very well.

"Should we switch the head-to-head battle to a conversation between Norman and the sergeant?"

"No, no, the dialogue is made into a narration, and it can be used as a background in the scene on the battlefield." Lehman said quickly.

"Why?" Thomas was puzzled, and asked directly, "Isn't it better to highlight the characters from here?"

After listening to Lehman, he replied seriously: "Have you ever thought that if it were all the roles, wouldn't the rhythm of the film be a bit dull at that time? How many audiences would be willing to buy tickets to go to the cinema? What about supporting the film? There needs to be plenty of visuals beyond depth, you know?"

Some audiences like to feel the baptism of thought after watching the film; some audiences like the sensory enjoyment in the process of watching the film.

Everyone's pursuit is different, and even the same person at different ages has a different viewing experience. No director can make all audiences like a movie, and what I just said is Lehman's personal Directing ideas.

"I understand a little bit, but if you cut it like this, the character of the sergeant will be obviously weaker."

It turned out to be worried about this. Lyman smiled and explained to Thomas: "The sergeant was set up as a veteran at the beginning, and he has little room for growth and performance, understand? This is the problem of the character itself. "

Having talked about this, Ryman also expressed his thoughts with emotion. Thomas, he really wants to train to be his own royal photographer, so it is best for the two to be unified in terms of style.

"In this aspect of character creation, we need to work hard. But if a lot of footage is focused on this aspect, it will appear that the storyline is not enough. Take Shawshank Redemption, for example, the director has undoubtedly created a very classic screen character. image, but have you ever thought about what this film got?"

"It has gained word of mouth, but it is not valued in the market, otherwise it will not be miserable."

"If its character depth can be rated 9 points, the interestingness of the storyline, that is, the entertainment effect that the public wants, can only be rated 1 point. On the other hand, 007, which is well-known and accepted all over the world, it I don't talk about the depth of the characters, and even the previous Bond girls have nothing to praise except their faces? Acting or character? It doesn't have any, the depth is zero at all, but for entertainment, I guess it can be played 7 points, but that's it, compared to the number of viewers, the market recognition, and even the box office earned, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground."

"Why is this? Both sides have die-hard fans, right? They both have supportive audiences."

Thomas nodded, fully acknowledging it.

"Then the question arises. There is a huge gap between the word-of-mouth and market performance of both sides, and even a complementary relationship exists, but how should we determine which of the two films is better?"

Thomas hesitated, and subconsciously told him that it should be Shawshank's redemption, but he had also seen this movie and still felt a little dull. Instead, when he was a child, he got great satisfaction from watching 007. This is Shawshank. Redemption, no feeling.

Lehman threw this question, and never thought of waiting for Thomas to answer. Seeing that he was struggling, he continued on his own, "According to the film critics or the quality of the film, it must be Shawshank's redemption, and he has won a lot. Nominations for awards and honors, but 007 did not have these, it only received more support from the audience, and this is what I want, do you understand? Just like I recognized from the beginning, the movie that was not recognized by the audience was made. It will only be the pressure and burden on yourself." Qiqi's novel was first published on the Internet

"Nowadays, many countries attach great importance to education. From the moment a person is born, his family and teachers will teach him, and he has listened to the truth for more than ten years. How can he like other people's continued preaching?"

"I really like a class my instructor once said. He said that rather than a class that is highly specialized but only a few people can understand and are willing to listen to, I would rather teach a class that is not so specialized, even It's trivial, but it's a class that most people are interested in."

"My point of view is similar to his, if I really had to choose, a movie, I would prefer to tell a story that is 5 points of interest and 5 points of depth, so now, we have enough depth in terms of characters. It's too late, and the pace of the film should be accelerated to catch the audience's attention and make them willing to spend time and spend some money to go to the theater to see it, this is what I want."

Thomas vaguely understood, but he didn't seem to understand very much. He looked at Lyman with complicated eyes.

In addition to his directing style, he likes to shape characters and promote the plot with characters. He also wants to achieve compatibility in the attributes of literature, art and business.

This is really... Thomas can't find an adjective for a while, maybe it's crazy.

After all, he still doesn't understand him very well. If it weren't for today's words, he probably still thinks that Lehman wants to develop in the direction of literary films.

But what he wanted was much more than he thought.

Since film is divided into two attributes, literary and commercial, it is natural to have such a division.

Since there are rules, it is reasonable and unreasonable, and there will be no so-called awards to distinguish.

However, Lehman himself has such an idea, what is there to question himself?

From the afternoon when he was preparing to be buried alive, when he accepted himself as a member of the crew, to the time he was taught repeatedly during the filming of the two films, Thomas had already identified Lehmann.

No matter what ~www.novelmt.com~ he will accompany him to shoot the movie. As for what the movie is like and what the story is about, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that what Lehman wants to shoot, his thoughts are what he cares about.

Others are just useless thoughts, and it is useless to think too much.

Thomas, who re-firmed his heart again, easily reached a consensus with Lehman on this, and continued to work happily.

Although only the last fine cut is left, it also requires a lot of energy.

The more I get to the end, the more I think about how to cut it.

Where the scenes need to be cut, and where the need to be increased, these are places that need to be considered extremely.

Moreover, the editing work is very tedious and tedious. Faced with a pile of shooting materials that have been turned over and over countless times, 10 or 20 times of blindly pondering which lens is the best, no matter what, it will consume a lot of the editor's brain. cell.

Therefore, the three of them came in turns. According to the editing points that were marked at the beginning of shooting, they repeatedly thought about the smoothness of the plot and whether the transition effect was appropriate.

The three of them worked together at a unified pace and cooperated well. Although they were a little tired, worried, and had a lot of hair loss, it was a very smooth process, and the version of the final film content was soon confirmed.

After watching the finished film again and confirming that there is really no point to be deleted or edited, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be considered that the most labor-intensive editing work in post-production has been completed. Touching the little hair on the head, this price is also worth paying.

After all, people are still young and can grow back, so don't be afraid.

In a blink of an eye, the days have come to the end of September. With the finalization of the film, after editing a part of the material as a promotional trailer for the film, the work of soundtracking can also be performed.
