Coquettish Rebirth

Nolan made a lot of edits to the material of the film. Although some details were not studied too much during the editing process, it seems that some details of the film are still a bit lacking in charm, but I have to say that after he edited in this way, the whole The movie still looks pretty awesome!

How awesome?First of all, his editing this time is not like in "Memory Fragments", it is a bit edited for the sake of editing.It's not like simply creating the awesome ending of the story through editing, it's not through editing to disrupt the story, and finally revealing the mystery makes everyone exclaim in disbelief.The method he adopted this time is much cleaner than before—although editing is still very frequent, but there is no such rush to cut for the sake of cutting. Now it can be said that it is... a kind of Tell a story, in order to make the dramatic tension of the story itself more powerful haircut!

Why do you say that?To put it simply, it's like when Tang Seng met a pack of wolves in the desert, if he takes it out alone, it is a small "climax", and the tension it brings is limited.But by mixing this scene with Tang Seng’s return to the border of the Tang Dynasty 17 years later and the scene where Tang Seng was arrested and edited, the two small “climaxes” can be synchronized, and the two scenes can be combined. The tension is brought together, which brings the tension and rhythm of the whole movie to a higher level!

As a "modern person" and also a movie and entertainment fan, Jia Hongjian deeply understands that the speed of movies and other entertainment methods after the 21st century is getting faster and faster.The required editing speed is getting faster and faster!In other words, there are more and more rushes similar to what Eileen Chang said before, "be famous as early as possible"!In the previous era, it was possible to edit slowly, each shot could last for a long time, and it could be as slow as the speed of life decades ago in people's impression.But in the 21st century, the speed of life all over the world is getting faster and faster, and people don't have time to stop and enjoy it slowly. In order to meet the audience's taste, the editing speed must be faster and faster.In short, the duration of each shot is getting shorter and shorter.Even later, Jia Hongjian heard that some Hollywood films had to be edited once every 5-8 seconds!

Even if it's just a conversation.Then you have to turn over and over again and change several angles to shoot and edit!Only in this way can it appear that the rhythm of the entire movie has been accelerated, and even later, such a style has influenced the TV circle, and it has made the editing speed of TV variety shows faster!Except for the short duration of this single shot.The most notable feature is that people like Nolan want to increase the dramatic tension of the story.Using this method to make the scene of a movie more exciting, more beautiful and more fascinating!

From this point of view.Nolan is really more mature than when he was filming and editing "Memento". At this time, he has lost the rush to edit for the sake of editing. At least he has used the editing technology on the right way!Just look at this.It can make people feel that Nolan is really talented!And the speed of progress is too fast, is there any wood?The catch is that Nolan filmed and edited this "Tang Monk's Fantasy Journey", which definitely has the level of a blockbuster movie with a high box office!Hey, this Nolan is only 30 years old, and he has progressed to this level. Maybe in this time and space, Nolan will become a super big-name director of the $10 movie box office club earlier than in history?

To be honest, Jia Hongjian was a little surprised by Nolan's potential!And this is the potential that Nolan can show when there are many things that are wrong and flawed in many aspects-this version edited by Nolan, after Jia Hongjian watched it, he only felt that Nolan edited the love scene It just sucks!To be more arrogant, he, Jia Hongjian, might be better than Nolan when he shoots love scenes!This is not Jia Hongjian bragging, but just think about the blockbuster films that Nolan has made in history. How many of them have filmed women? In the "Batman" trilogy, there are only two or three women who can be remembered, but even if they can be remembered, these three women do not have a three-dimensional image, and they are too impressive. It's just a flat character.

And are there any female characters in "Inception" that you admire?No, even if the role of the protagonist's deceased wife is very important to the plot, but after Nolan spent a lot of space, the filming is still not ideal, and it doesn't show why this woman is so difficult to live in. Around!Even if it is a scene where the hero and the heroine are "lost" in a deep dream, like a scene where two people are very happy in the dream, there is no warm love in the film!Just photographing two people walking hand in hand together!

The same woman who is very important to the plot, look at how the Cameron family photographed women in "Titanic"!Although the woman I photographed is not in line with Chinese logic, as if playing with a passerby for three to two minutes can immediately dedicate myself to death, but after all, I photographed such a person alive.But what about Nolan?In Nolan's films, besides being a symbol, what else can a woman do?

Therefore, in this Journey to the West movie, Nolan's cut-out female scene...is really not good.Although Jia Hongjian first defined the bottomless mouse spirit and the king of the daughter country as symbols, he did regard a girl who ignored the traditional "propriety, righteousness and shame" of the feudal era and was more active in pursuing her own love. And a rich and beautiful queen character.But such positioning does not mean that people must be photographed as simple symbols!The skill of the director itself should be shown in how to make a symbolic character flexible in shooting!Although there should be screenwriting responsibilities here, don't forget that Nolan's own screenwriting ability is also very strong!So in general, it's Nolan's problem. If he is good at this aspect, he should be able to shoot women's scenes well!But the problem is that he didn't shoot well!

Having said that, why does Jia Hongjian feel that Nolan's potential is terrible?It is because Nolan has such a big and obvious shortcoming. In the words of the domestic opera circle, that is, he lacks a homework and has not learned all the skills. Nolan can achieve the box office of a single film. 10 billion US dollars, is this scary?In Guo Degang's words, it means that if a cross talk actor is in the background, if he learns to sing and is short of one of the four courses and has obvious shortcomings, then the money will be [-]/[-] less than others. This dude is famous all over the world because of one trick, because of incomplete homework, or because of weak homework, he just became popular all over the country!Isn't this scary?If I turn around and complete my homework, wouldn't I be going against the sky?

This also gave Jia Hongjian the idea to win over Nolan! "Very good! Chris, I think your future is limitless!" At that time, Jia Hongjian didn't even ask Spielberg for his opinion, and just praised Nolan so loudly!Spielberg was surprised to see what Jia Hongjian said, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he turned his head and agreed with Jia Hongjian's words, "That's right, although you are still relatively weak in dealing with emotions, you are still weak in other aspects. It handled it very well, and it can even be said that it is not weaker than me!" Such a compliment from Spielberg is too high!Who is he old Si!That is a world-renowned literary and commercial double material power!From the 70s to the present, he has been one of the best in commercial films!Such a well-known director said that Nolan, a 30-year-old director, is not weaker than him in some aspects. What kind of compliment is this?

Nolan couldn't believe it when he heard this!It was like hearing that I had won a lottery jackpot worth [-] million dollars, it was unreal!However, Jia Hongjian was unlikely to give Nolan a chance to slowly get excited, so he patted Nolan on the shoulder and said, "Dude, although you are very good in other aspects, but Having said that, emotional scenes are really bad... We still have to figure out how to do this emotional scene!" Having said this, Jia Hongjian turned his head to look at Spielberg, thinking that Spielberg Old man Ge came to help Nolan.

As a result, Spielberg shook his head and shrugged, "Don't look at me, Hung-chien, I'm the older Nolan. I have enough imagination and control, but I'm not very good at emotional scenes. When have you ever seen me shoot a romance film? Even my commercial films have very little love..."

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian was shocked, okay?your sister!Historically, when Jia Hongjian watched Spielberg's "War Horse" released in 11 or 12, seeing the relationship between the hero and his own war horse, the entanglement really made his eyes wet Okay!So he, Jia Hongjian, always thought that Spielberg could capture the relationship between humans and horses before, and the bond between humans and animals so touchingly, so the relationship between men and women should be captured. not difficult?After all, women have more obvious and better emotions than horses?Who would have thought that Spielberg would say that he can't make emotional scenes?

Seeing Jia Hongjian's astonishment, Spielberg shrugged his shoulders, "Although I have filmed "et" and many things, I really can't film things between men and women. It’s the thing that has bothered me the most in the past 30 or [-] years, but God didn’t reward me with this meal, and I can’t help it, or we have to find a way to ask James Cameron to come and help...”

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian didn't know what to do, and suddenly said, "Forget it, let me try..." After saying this, he was surprised, why did he blurt out this sentence?At the same time, Spielberg and Nolan next to him stared at him with big eyes, which was a surprise!As a boss, Jia Hongjian couldn't be cowardly at this time, and couldn't say "hehe, I'm just talking casually"!We are the boss, even if we don't do well, we can't be cowardly!
