Movie Master

Joel Coen watched Lance go to the seat not far away and sat down, tilted his head and whispered in Ethan Coen's ear, "You didn't say that this movie was directed by him."

Ethan turned his head and saw the suspicion in Joel's eyebrows, and immediately understood Joel's doubtful attitude towards Lance, and chuckled, "We are at Sundance now, so you know what to expect. "Although Ethan was also skeptical about Lance's directorial skills, he admitted that the previous meeting with Lance did make him interested in this movie, so he took his brother to attend the premiere together. .

As for Lance's strength, the work itself will give an answer.

Joel raised his eyebrows noncommittally. He didn't think that a businessman—the identity of a producer itself means that a businessman is greater than a filmmaker—can show any talent. Lance is a good producer because he has a good eye for film, but that doesn't make him a businessman and an art creator. Especially just now, Lance was able to handle many filmmakers with ease, showing his control over social situations, which made Joel more and more sure: Lance is a businessman. Joel was willing to come because he thought it was Lance's production, but now...

Ethan turned his head to look at the big screen, Joel also collected his emotions, lowered his expectations to the bottom as much as possible, turned his head and began to wait for the movie to be shown.

At this time, the theater that can accommodate 300 people is already full. Although the entire crew of "City of God" is unknown, this situation is already the norm at Sundance. Film aficionados at the festival know this all too well. Therefore, without any publicity or gimmicks at all, the 300 tickets for the premiere were sold out early, and some people even failed to grab tickets—such as Javier.

The audience communicated in low voices full of anticipation, holding the official film catalog in their hands, reading relevant information about "City of God", and expressing their opinions.

Such a scene is no stranger to Lance. He has experienced many film premieres, and he also clearly understands that the anxiety and expectation that his work will be judged by the public are intertwined, contradictory and tangled. , it is really hard to calm down.

Originally, Lance thought that he was used to this and could treat it with a normal heart. However, the atmosphere at the scene still made the air warm up slowly. Trivial discussions swarmed from all directions, blurred faces in the dense crowd were faintly visible, critical eyes of film critics and reporters were like awns... those things were hard to be noticed The small details made the atmosphere more and more tense, and the heartbeat suddenly lost its rhythm.

Different, after all, still different. This time, he is not a producer, but accepts the judgment of the public as a director and a screenwriter. This is not only his own work, but also his brainchild. Thinking of this, besides the nervousness, a wonderful excitement arises spontaneously, and the emotion mixed with anticipation, joy and apprehension begins to become subtle.

Lance took out the candy packets from his pocket, poured out two, threw them into his mouth, and chewed them slowly. The delicate sweetness jumped on the tip of his tongue, calming down his mood slowly.

"Can I have two?" A pretty voice came from beside her, and when she turned her head, she saw Jessica's beautiful face, her eyes sparkling with bright expectation. The corner of Lance's mouth was slightly pursed, drawing a warm arc, but he said in a firm tone that could not be refuted, "I don't think you will like it." After speaking, he clasped his palm again and put the candy in his pocket .

At this time, the lights of the cinema slowly dimmed, and Lance turned his head to look at the big screen. The disappointed expression in Jessica's eyes surged, and it was almost impossible to hide it. She took a deep look at Lance's side face, and gradually disappeared with the dimming of the lights. Finally, Jessica also turned her head and saw To the **** screen.

The entire movie theater was plunged into darkness, the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, and the buzzing and restless sound disappeared in an instant, as if the collective was choked by the throat, and every fanatic of the movie turned their attention to big screen. At this moment, a hazy spot of light appeared in the pitch-black darkness, attracting everyone's attention.

The faint light began to gradually become brighter and stronger, and when the light spot evolved into the size of a basketball, it suddenly exploded, and thousands of light spots scattered on the big screen. All the darkness dissipated and turned into a bright starry sky. Countless bright stars shone brightly under the night sky, and then all the brilliance twisted together, changing into various colors and shapes, like a mess, but It is like a touch of aurora, which makes the dark night sky beautiful in an instant, and the artistic atmosphere of chaos to the extreme is jaw-dropping. Even the oil paintings by Van Gogh can't outline such a wonderful picture.

In the end, all the points of light are suddenly recovered, condensed into one point of light again, and then become smaller and darker until they disappear. Then, a word appeared on the screen, "Chaos", and the flamboyant thick-lined subtitles used white minimalist tones, which had an indescribable charm. Immediately afterwards, the "chaos" font also turned into a mass of distorted light, dissipating bit by bit into the night.

It was only a fourteen-second opening title, but it left an unimaginably deep impression on all audiences. The chaos, like a big bang, is radiant and unpredictable!

In this way, Chaos Films entered the stage of history.

"噗", there was a crisp sound in the darkness like a flash of lightning, and it was a glimpse. Many people didn't understand what happened at all, they just heard a murmur, which was unpredictable; more people missed this trivial sound, and still looked at the big screen indifferently, and there were subtitles on it, " Director: Lancelot Strelo", the subtitles, which continued the cursive style of the previous ones, only stayed for a while, and then disappeared like chaos.

Immediately afterwards, there was another crisp sound of "噗", this time the picture flashed by, and a shiny long knife was slashed directly, but it was only for a moment, and the big screen quickly turned black, and It was as if a blade had cut through the black screen; afterward, the sound of "噗噗" became faster and faster according to a certain rhythm, and the sharp blade cut through the darkness one after another, flashing in front of my eyes continuously, sharp and neat editing style Immediately jumps onto the screen.

At this time, people pieced together a scene, and the clanking sound was obviously made by the friction and collision of the blade on the whetstone. Here's a man sharpening his knife!

The cheerful samba music erupted like a kaleidoscope, and the passionate melody made people want to dance lightly, as if the Brazilian sunshine could be smelled in the air. The rhythm of sharpening the knife is getting faster and faster, as if it complements the music, and the fast-changing shots make people dazzled and dizzying.

Rapidly rubbing blades, flexible and beating bangui strings, dense and cheerful drumheads, restless roosters, crisply cut carrots, dancing samba steps, chicken killing techniques with hands up and down, and heated charcoal fire , fragrant meat skewers... The bright shots are combined and switched sharply and clearly, creating a grand and lively party.

A large group of roosters had been killed, leaving only messy and dirty chicken feathers, which turned into a pile of smooth white and tender chicken on the chopping board. At this time, only the last rooster had not yet been turned, and the chaotic and restless scene in front of him made him start to walk around in a panic. The rope holding the rooster's left foot was loosened in this way, and the rooster regained its freedom. Impatiently, he walked to the side, then flapped his wings and flew, flew from the second floor to the ground, and began to flee. It's like Andy who left prison in "The Shawshank Redemption".

"Grass, the chicken ran away, hurry up and catch that chicken! Haha!" A pair of immature eyes filled the whole picture, shouted cheerfully, with a bright smile on his face, and laughed presumptuously and flamboyantly .

There was a burst of turmoil, and messy footsteps kept trampling in the camera. A dozen teenagers hurried downstairs, followed behind the rooster in a hurry and panic, and quickly chased after it. There are more and more people chasing, but there are only more and more footsteps, and the rooster nimbly shuttles through the gaps, which only makes the scene more and more chaotic.

A small rooster leads a mighty crowd through the streets and alleys, making everyone jump up and down. It's so lively, but the seemingly trivial shots gradually change the scene of the whole area. The scenery unfolds before the audience. This is a slum, a black slum, a backward and dirty slum, a slum where every chaser is accustomed to holding a pistol in his hand, and the ordinary daily life is revealed in the short shots that quickly switch. The joy that only belongs to the South American continent~www.wuxiax.com~ Ethan pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes showed great interest.

Although it is only the opening shot of less than 90 seconds, it does not show the immaturity and greenness of the "first work" at all, but the fast-connected shots accurately convey the overall and partial details in a calm and unobtrusive manner. It is enough to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the director's personal style. What's more, it started with a party. A group of children chased an escaped rooster. With the enthusiastic and cheerful samba, it was quite absurd and uninhibited like a fairy tale. The witty plot made people laugh and curious. The body of the whole story.

The two young children were discussing the topic of taking pictures and newspapers, but they found a rooster suddenly ran past them, and then a group of teenagers with their pistols raised high and showing off their might appeared on the street, and they swaggered over , blocked the entire street, and then yelled at the two children, "Boy, catch that chicken, catch that chicken!" The shining pistol stopped both of them, and the neck The child with the camera hanging on his head stepped forward cautiously, trying to catch the chicken in front of him.

At this moment, a police/car stopped on the other side of the street, and a group of armed police/policemen came down one after another. And the crowd on the other side of the street immediately raised their guns high and confronted the police without fear. In an instant, the air in the whole street froze!

The boy who stood in the middle and tried to round up the rooster was left in place, his body was completely stiff in an instant, and he was in a dilemma~www.wuxiax.com~Welcome all readers to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are here~ www.wuxiax.com ~ mobile phone users please go to read.
