Chapter 1301

As members of the jury of the film festival, they are not as relaxed as they think. They have to keep a high degree of concentration. In just 12 days, they can watch 20 difficult art films for two and a half hours or three hours. In addition, they also have media interviews and social groups. Almost every day, they are under the high frequency and high intensity——

This is just the main competition unit. If necessary, they may need to watch more.

The media often let out rumors that a judge fell asleep in the process of watching the film. It's not slander, it's fact. But it can't blame them. The judging work of the film festival is a severe test for both spirit and physical strength; In addition, some art movies are really slow and easy to fall asleep. Judges, after all, are mortals.

Obviously, Li Angang only make complaints about the words of blue rites, which is ridiculing, complaining or Tucao.

But Lan Li didn't care at all. His smile bloomed and his mood rose. "How can you be sure that I didn't enjoy the film festival so much that I was in high spirits?"

"Sophistry. Everyone knows that Langley hall is very eloquent. I refuse to argue with you. " Ang Lee said solemnly, but his eyes were full of smiles, just like seeing the elders close to the younger generation.

At this year's Academy Awards ceremony, Lan Li and Ang Lee met once.

The brief conversation left a deep impression. Ang Lee was really impressed by the interpretation of the Oriental Culture in the film "fantasy drifting of the youth school", the views and opinions on reincarnation, destiny and philosophy.

Although this work is highly praised in Hollywood, few Western critics can really understand the profound and complex oriental culture. When Western filmmakers pry into the oriental culture, they often depict an oriental country in their mind with a curious perspective, but they are far away from the real oriental culture.

As an "Englishman", lanli's interpretation and understanding become more and more valuable. That conversation really left a deep impression on Ang Lee.

"Well, did you see anything worth discussing this time?" With a smile, Ang Lee inquired that he had started to take the examination of teaching and continued his elder's attitude.

"Adele's life." Lan Li's answer was simple and clear without any hesitation. Then he saw that Ang Lee's mouth rose slightly. He raised his right hand and gently touched Lan Li twice, which was helpless, funny and reproachful. Lan Li also did not sophistry, a face calmly spread his hands, "I knew you would like."

If Ang Lee's film style presents the western world in the eyes of the Oriental, then "Adele's life" presents the western world in the eyes of the French, capturing the middle class's difficulties and confusion with life fragments. It's just Ang Lee's favorite style.

So, is Lan Li catering to Ang Lee's preference?

Ang Lee was dumbfounded, deliberately difficult, "do you think I like it as an audience, or as a judge?"

"Both." Lan Li replied simply. Looking at Ang Lee's irrefutable expression, Lan Li gently grinned with a smile on his eyes.

Ang Lee is deliberately face up, "then you think, I will not like 'drunken folk'

"As an audience or as a judge?" In the same way, Lan Li, in turn, applied it to Ang Lee, but the effect was quite different.

Ang Lee was slightly stunned, and then tasted it. After all, he didn't speak. He shook his head with a smile, "you, you." Then he changed the topic and didn't talk too much about movies, because as a judge, he still had to be objective and avoid talking about movies as much as possible during the film festival, which is true for anyone.

So, it's just a matter of time. He then changed the topic, "what, are you ready to start performing again?"

"Are you working on a new project?" Lan Li's eyes brightened slightly, and asked in a light voice, "you know, if it's your work, I have absolutely no problem."

Lenley is serious.

In fact, after "the fantasy drifting of the youth school", Ang Lee, like many directors, began to explore the depth and thickness of the film story given by the lens language. Therefore, he used 3D technology and 120 frame new technology to shoot "Billy Lynn's midfield battle".

According to the experimental results, the visual persistence time of human eyes is about 0.1 second, so as long as the speed of picture switching is greater than 12 frames per second, human eyes will connect the last frame of the temporary image with the next frame of the picture, forming a continuous visual experience.

Generally speaking, the film adopts 24 frame rate, that is, 24 frames per second. This is the lowest speed that can make people not feel stuck in the era of film invention. Originally, in order to save film, it is still a kind of habit inheritance.

The 120 frame rate means that 120 pictures will appear in every second, which means that the picture will be more delicate, richer and more specific. But at the same time, the human eye will also bear greater pressure, and even can not process enough information, so that there will be fatigue and distress.

For the director and the audience, they can more clearly and accurately capture the performance details and inner changes of each role, and truly bring the audience into the inner world of the role. 120 frames for Ang Lee, this is undoubtedly his strengths to further play to the extreme vanguard technology.

But unfortunately, "Billy Lynn's midfield battle" failed. Media reputation will not collapse, but it is far lower than expected; The box office results and the prospects of the award season are all dumbfounded. This also makes many fans question Ang Lee's ability.

There are two main reasons for the failure of this work.

First, Ang Lee tried to understand the impact of the Iraq war on American soldiers from his perspective, but his usual strengths became weaknesses this time. His Oriental values failed to hit the American itch, and the whole core values were biased. This also means that 120 frame technology failed to further amplify the expected resonance, enhance influence and penetration.

Second, the 120 frame technology has magnified the actor's performance to the extreme, which also means that the performance is the foundation and architecture to support Ang Lee's whole creative core. However, there are many actors in the actor list, such as Kristen Stewart, van diesel and Garnett Hedland. Their performances often lack facial expression and eye depth, and the levels and details are not enough, In the 120 frame technology, it further magnifies the shortcomings of rigid performance and further affects the sublimation of the core theme.

In other words, "Billy Lynn's midfield" is a work with outstanding conception but deviant execution, which fails to achieve the expected effect in the end.

But after the work failed, Ang Lee insisted that his idea was right, and he would continue to study the viewing experience brought by this technology. The next work will continue to use 120 frame technology to complete shooting.

If the director is Ang Lee, even if he knows that the next work is "Billy Lynn's midfield battle", lanli is willing to take over. It is undoubtedly a once in a blue moon that he can cooperate with such a talented director. Lanli is willing to make a bold attempt. Sometimes some things are not judged and selected simply by success or failure.

Ang Lee could feel the passion in Lan Li's eyes, and he didn't doubt it, but he still couldn't help joking, "is it OK even for Hulk?"

"Hulk", a commercial film, is Ang Lee's biggest failure in his career as a director. Despite the quality of the finished product, it is certain that Ang Lee's style is not suitable for commercial films, and his delicacy and gentleness are more suitable for emotional communication and dialogue.

What's more, Hulk is a marvel series.

"... well, can we change the subject?" Blue Li pretended to show embarrassed expression, and moved away from her eyes with a guilty conscience. But it was precisely the response to "giving awesome" that she succeeded in letting Ang Lee clap his hands and laugh.

Few people know that Ang Lee is a very joking personality in private, and the topic is not taboo. It is far from the style of his works.

"What? What are you talking about? Don't you know that it's better to keep a distance between the judges of the festival and the creative team of the main competition works and avoid nepotism? "

A voice with a strong smile came from the front. Ang Lee and lanli both turned their heads, and then they saw Steven Spielberg. He strode over and said, "if you want to get closer, at least you can't be in front of the reporters, but also on the red carpet. It's not good."

Lan Li is gently raised eyebrow tail, "if it is to close the relationship, then in front of reporters, is not a better choice?"

Steven and Ang Lee both exchanged a sight and chuckled at the same time. Finally, Steven put his hands behind his back and assumed the posture of an elder. "You'd better look forward to that. Tonight's film is an excellent masterpiece and your wonderful performance. Otherwise, I won't be lenient in the jury discussion."

Blue Li made a polite nod, and then a clever appearance closed his mouth.

There is no answer, the action comes first, but the meaning is really obvious.

The two directors couldn't help laughing again. Steven patted lenley's arm and said, "go in. Nicole sent me to save you. You've been on the red carpet for nearly an hour, but obviously, the reporters still didn't let you go. But what's more, we're all impatient to wait. When can the movie be shown and where? "
