At the same time, Jason said the same thing among the cheering crowd of Southern California: "This short film is shot with horizontally moving lenses, it is anti-film. You are too happy too early!"
Everyone around them opened their mouths wide, anti-movie? Zhang Ran’s short film is very good and wonderful. I didn’t think anything was wrong, so how could it be involved in anti-movie?
Someone asked, "Is it that exaggerated? Why is it considered anti-film when using all rolling shots?"
Jason explained with a smile: "When you read any director or introductory book for film language and grammar, it will tell you at the beginning that the picture of the movie is flat and two-dimensional, and the charm of film art lies in creating the illusion of the third dimension from the two-digit picture.
As a movie language and as the scene scheduling of the movie, I will tell you from the beginning that as a filmmaker, please remember that you must use more depth angles and less horizontal scheduling. Because characters enter the left from the painting and draw from the right from the painting, when the camera slides horizontally across the picture, it will expose that the film is flat. On the contrary, when the characters enter the painting from the depths of the picture, walk towards the camera or walk into the painting from the bottom edge of the picture frame into the painting, the illusion of depth is very strong! Have you all played Super Mario? Super Mario's picture is horizontally shifted, and the picture has no sense of space. If a movie uses horizontally shifted lenses, it is easy to flatten the picture, which is contrary to the essence of the movie. So this way of shooting is anti-movie!"
Someone asked, "Then can we win this game?"
Jason smiled and said, "Is victory or loss that important? Coppola, Spielberg and others are so busy, why are you willing to participate in this kind of student activities? Is it just to see students' amateur works? No! It's to encourage everyone to continue to explore the language of the movie and broaden the boundaries of the movie. These two works allow me to see more possibilities in the movie, which is really worth cheering!"
The editing competition with Zhang Ran made Jason understand why he lost. He paid too much attention to winning or losing, and ignored the essence of the movie. After that, he reflected on his mind and relaxed, so he did not play in last year's game. This year, if he hadn't known that Zhang Ran would play, he would not have any interest in coming. But now after watching two short films, he felt that he had not been in vain.
Zhang Ran in the crowd smiled. The reason why he used this horizontal camera to move horizontally is to squeeze the film space, create a sense of restraint and show a real dilemma. But he is worried about a problem. When he uses the horizontally moving lens a lot, the audience will focus on the camera, which will cause the audience to get out of the play and make the audience uncomfortable. However, judging from the audience's reaction, everyone did not notice that the camera itself was attracted by the movie. In other words, Zhang Ran's experiment was successful.
Soon, the five judges finished scoring.
Coppola looked at the results in his hands, then looked at Spielberg, and laughed and said, "How is it? I said you were too happy, right?"
Spielberg smiled and said, "I didn't expect anyone to dare to take this photo. What an amazing young man!"
Coppola stood up proudly. He held the microphone and announced the result: "Please be quiet now. I will announce the result of "Xue"..."
The audience held their breath, and most of the students from Nanka University were very relaxed. They thought that Caron's short film was better, and Zhang Ran's rating could not be higher than Caron's; and the students also felt so. However, everyone hoped that miracles would happen and were praying silently.
Coppola paused for a moment and announced with a smile: "The score of "Search" is 9.98!"
The students burst into loud cheers, and the huge sound waves could overturn the roof of the auditorium. Everyone thought they had lost, but they didn't expect a big reversal. The students were extremely excited and the entire auditorium turned into a boiling blue ocean!
Students at the University of Southern California were extremely depressed. Karon’s short film was better, so how could this happen? But they couldn’t tell the problem, because Zhang Ran’s lowest score was Coppola’s 9.9, while the other four judges gave 10 points.
If you want to win Zhang Ran now, unless there is a work that can make all five judges beat ten, it is obviously impossible!
Without any suspense, Ula won this year’s battle in the same city!
The students cheered and said that they lost 10:0 in this auditorium last year, which was simply a shame. Today they finally won and everyone was proud. They naturally sang praises to their heroes.
"Robin is worthy of being the most troublesome person in Southern California! He is so strong! It's always unlucky to have him in Southern California!"
"Yes, he is our hero! Look at the depressed faces of Nancada, it's so cool! I will definitely support his movies in the future!"
"It's a pity that he won't be able to participate next year!"
On the other hand, students from the University of Southern California also realized this and suddenly faded away their frustration. One and two of them breathed a sigh of relief. The depression in their hearts immediately dissipated, and the expression of relaxation appeared on their faces.
"This damn Chinese will not be able to participate next year! Hornas will definitely beat them up to death!"
"This scourge is finally going to get out. This is the best news I have heard today!"
At this moment, Coppola held the microphone and shouted, "That Zhang who filmed "Xuan", come here!"
Coppola is proud and a real movie master. When he heard him call himself over, Zhang Ran dared not be negligent and walked over with cheers: "Hello, Mr. Coppola! I like you "The Godfather" very much. I have pulled you many times when I was reading, and every time I watch it, I will get new gains!"
Coppola smiled and patted Zhang Ran on the shoulder, and said kindly: "I heard you were going to shoot a movie about flying, and all the shots were moved horizontally. At that time, I was thinking that this was such a crazy young man. I didn't expect that today I really saw short films with all the shots moving horizontally. Are you experimenting for your own movies?"
"Yes, I don't know what the consequences of using a large number of transverse lenses will be. So I wanted to do an experiment. How do you know I'm going to shoot a story about flying? Mr. Scorsese said?"
Scorsese and Coppola are friends. In fact, it is not just the two of them. Spielberg and George Lucas are also good friends.
"Yes. I heard Scorsese say, you're ready to use the idea of moving across the camera to shock him!"
"Not all, when the plane takes off at the end of the movie, there are several deep shots. At the same time, the square picture will unfold to both sides. Do you know the scroll of Chinese painting? It opens like a scroll, and the whole world is wide!"
Coppola looked at Spielberg and asked with a smile: "You've made a movie about planes, how do you think?"
Spielberg smiled and nodded: "Bold ideas are full of creativity. The future is unlimited!"
Zhang Ran hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Spielberg!"
Coppola encouraged: "I have watched your "Breaking Drummer" and it was pretty good, but it wasn't very good. But your short film gave me a huge surprise and I'm very imaginative! Don't waste your talent, your future is bright!"
The whole audience was in an uproar!
Spielberg and Coppola are both optimistic about Zhang Ran’s future, and the students around them are envious and jealous. If this is spread, I am afraid that many producers will come to the door with the script!
Zhang Ran nodded and greeted: "Thank you Mr. Coppola. I will try my best to shoot it, and I will try my best to shoot it. Because I really like making movies!"
At this time, other students from the University of Southern California submitted their works, and the lights in the auditorium dimmed. Although they knew that there was no possibility of winning, they could display their works in front of the master. No one was willing to miss such an opportunity.
Zhang Ran had achieved his goal and had no interest in watching it. He spoke to Coppola and turned around and walked out of the auditorium.
When he first walked to the door, Zhang Ran found Jason standing at the door. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here? You can't wait for me!"
Jason nodded and said, "Yes. I was shocked by your short film, unexpectedly exciting! But I don't understand. You are obviously capable, why do you choose to be conservative in the camera of "Breaking Drummer"? And why did you make a worthless movie like "Time Warrior"?"
Zhang Ran said dissatisfiedly: "What is a worthless movie? You haven't seen it before, why do you say that?"
Jason sneered, "Do you still need to watch it? You can tell it's a popcorn movie just by looking at the introduction. Don't you think it's a waste of your talent when making such a movie?"
Zhang Ran knew that the other party had good intentions, so he could not say bad things, and asked, "Do you think Mr. Coppola is talented? Is he a great director?"
Jason said speechlessly: "Of course, just with "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Modern", he is one of the greatest directors!"
Zhang Ran continued to ask: "But after filming "Apocalypse Modern" for more than 20 years, he has never had any other masterpieces. Have you ever thought about why?"
Jason hasn't really studied it: "This..."
Zhang Ran looked up at the auditorium and sighed: "Apocalypse Modern Times was seriously overdue. Although the movie made money in the end, Coppola was already on the blacklist of the producers. Since most of the excellent adaptation rights were in the hands of the big studios, he could not get in touch with good scripts. In addition, the box office of the movie "The Lover" he invested in, he suffered a crushing defeat in the box office and was born in 30 million yuan. From then on, Coppola became the corner of the corner of the scrap script of the big studio to pay off debts.
Sex! Take "The Sweetheart" for example. He used superimposed stacking techniques and reproduced multiple voice montages. But will the studio take care of these? They only care whether they can make money. If not, even if you are famous, it will be rubbish. Coppola is like this, and the greater Orson Wells is like this. They are all ruined because of money! So I want to make money. Only with enough money in my hands can I control my destiny and make the movies I want to make!"
Jason shook his head with a wry smile. The money was the sword of Damocles hanging on the head of the filmmaker, and it was difficult to get rid of. He wanted to make a movie and also showed his script to many producers. They all said it was good, but no one was willing to pay because they felt there was no box office. He sighed and said, "Your words make sense, but I still only made the movies I want to make!"
Zhang Ran said sincerely: "There is no right or wrong in this matter, it is all your choice. But I believe you will succeed. You are the most talented young directors I have ever met!"
Jason glared at Zhang Ran and said, "Are you mocking me on purpose?"
Zhang Ran was stunned: "Why do you think so?"
Jason snorted: "Who dares to compare with you, a pervert, when it comes to talent, you are praising yourself in disguise!"
Zhang Ran smiled and shook his head. He didn't think he was very talented. He had more than ten years of experience than others. He was far inferior to a real genius! However, he did not explain and smiled and said, "I am very happy to hear you say this. This is simply the greatest praise to me! I won't tell you, goodbye!" After that, he turned around and left.
Watching Zhang Ran turn and leave, Jason's eyes felt complicated and then he smiled. We will meet again. People like you will definitely make it to the Oscar stage. At that time, I will definitely defeat you!
