my time as a director

But precisely because this is a show, editing is also difficult.

The biggest difficulty is not how to cut out a smooth story, this could not be easier.

The editing between shots is very simple for Truman's world, the key is the structure inside the shot.

In this movie, most of the plot is that a group of actors around Truman have to express this fact through the lens itself.

The relationship, characteristics, and purpose of the characters are the key to the interior of the shot.

Start from the beginning, the scene where Truman goes out.

Go outside, say hello, and get spooked by the neighbor's dog.

Most of the time in a person's life is like a running account, repeating the same thing day after day, no matter who it is.

From the top [-] richest people in the country to the ordinary people who are running around for their lives, they are all like this.

Get up at six in the morning, catch the bus, squeeze the subway, go to work, catch the bus or subway after get off work, go home to play games, sleep, and then continue to repeat this kind of life.

The same goes for the plutocrats, who are doing the same thing, but differently and with more ways to entertain themselves.

Although Truman lives in a utopian world, it is unavoidable that he repeats his life every day.

So, at the beginning, I got up early, talked to myself in the mirror, then went out, greeted the neighbors with a smile, and then pushed the camera to Truman's medium and close shots, saying "If I don't see you again, I wish you good morning , good afternoon, good night."

Say hello to another neighbor with a dog, get scared by the dog, then drive to work, buy newspapers and fashion magazines at the newsstand halfway, and meet twin brothers on the way.

Immediately afterwards, Truman went to work in the company, and finally he built his own yard at home after get off work.

This is an ordinary day for an ordinary man.

In this series of shots, Li Qian didn't use any great skills, except for the two twin brothers, he used a close-up shot overlooking them to show their insignificance and funnyness.

What was cut out was a running account.

And this series of journal-like shots reappeared in the back of the film, and even the characters and costumes, dialogues, sequence of events, and the use of shots all changed very little.

In addition to expressing that Truman is also like ordinary people in the utopian world, it also reflects the producer's control over him.

After watching the movie, there will definitely be some people who are unhappy in life and think it is better for Truman not to go out.

But just like the previous clip, Truman is like ordinary people in this clip, living like a daily journal.

The only difference is that he doesn't have to worry about basic necessities.

However, also due to the control of the program group, it also stifled the possibility of a better life for Truman.

Earlier in the movie, Truman suggested that he could go on a trip by saving some more money, but after his wife said something, he was just as unlucky as last time.

Obviously, the program team will suppress Truman's financial conditions and let him maintain this life, running around for mortgages and car loans, or if he has money, he wants to travel and leave here.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, leaving is the best choice.

Most of those who say to stay inside are those who do not have hope for reality.

ps: There are still two hours until the end of August, if you haven’t voted for the monthly pass, vote quickly, don’t expire.

Chapter 396 Wu Jing's Modern Warfare Movie

Time passed day by day, and as the students officially started school, the summer file also came to an end.

Jaws 3 won this not-so-intense summer competition with a box office of 68 billion, and Future Pictures won the summer box office championship for two consecutive years.

It's a pity that it didn't break 7 million, but it was within Li Qian's acceptance range. After all, horror movies were originally a small audience, and with the first gem in front, it was already very rare to achieve this result.

To put it bluntly, many viewers came for Li Qian.

And Painted Skin 2 finally ended with 633 billion at the box office, driving high and low, ranking No.2 in the summer file.

Although this box office is already a big hit compared to the production cost of 12 billion, it did not reach the goal of Huayang Media. The first blockbuster film was considered a failure, and it was still defeated by Li Qian.

As for No.3, it is not the Four Famous Detectives starring Deng Chao and Liu Yufei. This adaptation only earned 18 billion at the box office.

And the spy war movie Listener, which was released in August, got a high box office of 8 billion.

A Xiangjiang-produced spy film about the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, led by Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xun, the lineup is enough to make people look forward to. After all, the rumors are ahead, and the two films are adapted from the Mai family.

This film has obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages.

As a spy movie, it does not show the bloody cruelty like previous works. On the contrary, it uses an understatement to brush slightly, and then uses various ornate or solemn or sad or low background music To show the inner feelings of the characters.

For example, the scene where Liang Chaowei just entered the 701 base, the vast land overgrown with weeds, large expanses of bare birch forests, soft sunlight, alternately flashing car lights and street lights.

Moreover, this film focuses more on excavating the connotation and emotions of the characters themselves, rather than just expressing politics, expressing the highest interests and the so-called mission of honor.

To put it bluntly, director Xiangjiang filmed it. They have not experienced that era. The spy war film has a taste that does not involve politics, and downplays the conflict between the enemy and ourselves.

This is also history. Director Xiangjiang has never been good at history.

In the end, because of Liang Chaowei's mistake, Zhou Xun died halfway through the performance.

It was still surrounded by five people and hacked to death. No matter how you look at it, it feels like a gangster movie.

It has advantages, but there are also many slots. It can be regarded as an alternative spy film.

Another domestic film with a box office of more than 8 million is Disappearing Bullet, which was also released in August with good luck. It was hardly affected by Jaws 3 and Painted Skin 2, and it earned 15 billion at the box office.

However, the word-of-mouth is far worse. The suspense film under the banner of the first strange case in the Republic of China does not have a decent reasoning. The discovery of the truth only requires a moment of epiphany.

The content is the same as the title of the film, a murder case, but no bullets can be found.

However, just such an ordinary film was nominated for best film in the nominations for the Golden Horse Awards just announced.

Another sequel movie, Hedong Lion Roar 2, got a box office of 7000 million, which was quite a failure. Who would go to the cinema to see Zhang Baizi?

Compared with last year, the summer schedule is a bit tepid, but Batman: The Dark Knight, which was released at the end of August, is the biggest hit right now.

This is a five-star movie, but with the second one in front, it can only be rated four stars, and the second one can be said to be a nearly perfect movie.

However, such a masterpiece, the box office is very average.

7000 million in seven days in the first week, only 3 million left in the second week, and the trend is very normal after school starts, with a maximum of more than [-] million votes.

The TV drama market is also over, led by Lu Zhen Legend in July, Zhao Liying captured the hearts of uncles and aunts in one fell swoop, the older audience couldn't help liking her cute little round face.

In August, it was celebrating more than one year of TV domination. Hu Ge added the performance of all the old drama stars, which is very different from today's costume movies, which mainly focus on strategy, unlike the costume romance dramas that talk about love every day.

Movies and TV series have achieved great success, and Future Pictures has become the biggest winner of the summer file.
