Movie Master

"Aaron, I need this scene to be faster-paced, and the camera to be more broken, to express the turbulent sense of camera shake, as if everything is imminent, there is no room for breathing, let alone room for thinking, The audience can only passively follow the story and receive information passively."

"And what about thinking space?"

"I don't want them to have room to think. When all the information continues to accumulate and reaches a critical point, quantitative changes will naturally lead to qualitative changes, and thoughts and awakenings in their minds will naturally be born. It's like fear, fear, and retreat. The emotions emerge subconsciously. After the movie is over, there are countless spaces left for them to think."

"Jesus Christ! You are a lunatic! People are worried that I cut out their footage. All the hard work was wasted. I want to stay now, but you still ask me to cut it out. Are you sure you are not out of your mind? ?”

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you think?"

"If it is according to what you said, almost speeding up the pace and shortening the thinking space, I don't think it is necessary to cut the shots, but the shots can be cut into pieces. I noticed that several of Hayden's shots were shot in a documentary style. , wobbly long shots, I can use them."

"Very well, so what are you waiting for?"

Aaron-Menk (Aaron-Menk) looked up, looked at Lance, who had a face of course, and rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Hey, man, you look like an ugly capitalist who exploits the hard-earned money of working people .”

Lance, however, had a calm expression on his face, without any fluctuations at all. He just looked at Aaron quietly, and seemed to admit these "accusations" directly, which made Aaron touch his nose depressedly, and muttered, "If it weren't for your handsome looks, I would definitely give you a punch right now."

Lance once again ignored Aaron's complaints, "There is not much left until Sundance, and the editing progress must keep up!" The Danes Film Festival competition unit, but Lance is still not satisfied. Recently, he and Aaron stayed in the small dark room, busy day and night.

Aaron turned his head and glared at Lance, and was about to say something, but Lance stopped him directly, "You don't want to smash your own signboard, do you?" Aaron died down with one sentence, and turned around to get busy , Lance went on to say, "Although you don't have a signboard to speak of now."

Aaron, "…"

Lance and Aaron were not friends before, and they could even be said to be enemies.

When Diorama Films produced "Love Is a Bitches", the funds were very limited and they couldn't find a suitable editor. In the end, they fell in love with Aaron who had just graduated from the school. The two sides had the first cooperation, but in the process of cooperation However, Aaron and "Love is a bitch" director Alejandro-Gonzalez-Inarritu (Alejandro-Gonzalez-Inarritu) had a fierce disagreement, and at one point almost had a fight.

Although Lance also has a lot of dissatisfaction with Alessandro - the director is Mexican, the division of labor in South America is still not clear, many films are edited by the director himself, "Love is a bitch" is just Alessandro Luo's debut film, he also insisted on editing it himself, and had many conflicts with Aaron; but considering the overall situation, Lance finally chose to support the director and directly fired Aaron. Later, Lance hired two other apprentice editors who had not yet graduated to assist Alejandro to complete the editing work of the film.

Aaron studied under the famous editor Richard-Francis-Bruce (Richard-Francis-Bruce), "The Shawshank Redemption", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Brave to Kill the Island" and so on are Richard as the editor s work. Therefore, although Aaron is a fledgling, his strength is still quite optimistic.

Later, Lance and Aaron dealt with each other several times. The two almost disliked each other, and each time they broke up unhappy. Dance", this work is also the first time that Aaron has worked as an editor independently after he became a teacher. This cooperation is still stumbling, but unexpectedly made a friendship.

Objectively speaking, Aaron's level is indeed outstanding, not only because of his master's excellence, but also because he has a natural keenness in understanding the lens and emotional touch, and can always capture the parts that the director neglects, contributing to the tension of the story, It adds a lot to the performance of the actors. In addition, in the past two years, Aaron has also served as an editor of many documentaries, accumulating a lot of experience, which coincides with the requirements of "City of God", so Lance's first Time found Aaron and facilitated this collaboration.

Facts have also proved that Lance's idea is correct. Aaron's understanding of "City of God" is unique. During the work process, he and Lance had many quarrels, but they also collided with countless sparks. The first cut The version successfully moved Robert and others. However, both Lance and Aaron knew that the time was really tight before, so some parts of the editing were too rough and needed to be reworked. This is the consensus of the two.

Aaron sat in front of the editing table and quickly started to get busy, while Lance sat next to him, silent, watching Aaron work quietly.

The fragmented sound in the "City of God" scene came from the editing room. Aaron skillfully moved forward and backward, and then stitched the shots together according to his own ideas, just like an excellent painter. Lance was a little dazed watching it, and he was also thinking carefully about the picture presented in this editing method, and how it was different from the previous method, but the vibration from the pocket of his pants interrupted Lance's thoughts.

Generally speaking, in the editing room, it is not allowed to carry any communication equipment, so as not to interfere with the work of the editor. However, in the recent period, in order to catch up with the Sundance Film Festival, Lance has almost kept his feet on the ground - there are still two parts of the film soundtrack that need to be rewritten; People are satisfied; the materials to be submitted by Sundance have not yet been prepared; since the film is in Portuguese, it needs to be accompanied by English subtitles, and it is still in the school team... So, Lance had no choice but to put his phone on the body.

Lance stood up and left the editing room before he connected the phone, "Hello, this is Lancelot."

"Hey, buddy, how long have you been back in Los Angeles, and you haven't called me yet?" The voice on the other end of the phone was full of the charm of a mature man, with a slight smile between the words, the familiarity and intimacy revealed between the lines .

It's George Clooney.

Lance was indeed a little surprised, probably because he no longer regarded George as a friend subconsciously, so after returning to Los Angeles, Lance never thought of contacting George. However, since George took the initiative to contact him, it means that he will continue to play the role of "best friend", and Lance will naturally not expose it.

"So, this is coming from a man who just came back from a relationship with Catherine-Zeta-Jones?" Lance's joke made George laugh out loud. , George and Catherine co-produced the movie "True Love and Fake Love", which just wrapped up not long ago.

"At least I made this call first." George was unwilling to admit defeat easily, and said to Lance jokingly.

Lance laughed softly, but the other end of the phone couldn't see the sarcasm in the smile, "This means you lost." The sentence was simple, but it meant a lot.

In the relationship between male and female friends, people often say that the person who takes the initiative to call is passive, because this person loves more deeply, and he or she has already lost from the beginning. That's why Lance said that. But in fact, Lance's subtext is saying that the reason why George took the initiative to call is because George still has something for Lance, and he is the one who keeps selling friends for glory.

Naturally, George would not miss the ambiguous/ambiguous meaning in Lance's words, he laughed, "There is no way, in this relationship, I am always the weak side." He said it according to the former meaning Interpreted, made a joke. "How about you come out for lunch?"

"Lunch?" Lance didn't bring a watch, but he remembered that it was less than an hour before lunch time~www.wuxiax.com~ He originally planned to continue ordering takeaway with Aaron.

"We haven't seen each other for almost half a year, or do you want dinner?" George was still proactive and enthusiastic.

Lance guessed that George's real purpose was just to maintain friendship, or because Ryan had acted again, or both. Originally, Lance planned to decline. After all, he is busy now, and even the time for eating is extremely precious, but after thinking about it, Lance nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "Just lunch, I already have an appointment for dinner." gone."

"I guessed it, your dinner must be reserved a month in advance." George said jokingly, "Then meet at Sunset Plaza?"

"No, I'm near Valencia Square now, let's go to the Olive Garden, do you know where it is?" Lance deliberately revealed his location and told the location of the editing room. He believed that George would come over in person, even though it was a thirty-minute drive from the city center.

"You're in Valencia Square? Wow!" George sighed. It's north of Hollywood and already in the suburbs, but the thoughts in his mind were surging, and he had changed his thoughts several times in the blink of an eye. "Of course , I'll go there now, I know where the Olive Garden is, see you in thirty minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Lance stood on the spot and thought about it. Although he has been busy with the post-production of "City of God" recently and has no time to spare, it doesn't feel good that Ryan and George have been staring at the side. He doesn't mind being proactive and finding something for them to do.
