Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hung-chien said he was going to do it, but of course Spielberg and Nolan couldn't say no.After all, the editing now uses a non-linear digital editing system, no matter how you do it, it will not affect the original master tape, even if it is done by a layman!This is not the time 20 years ago or [-] years ago. Didn't you have to cut the original master tape with a knife and stick it together with editing tape!This is not afraid of being cut!So, Jia Hongjian was really about to go.

It was really time to get started, Jia Hongjian felt the pressure.To be honest, he really has never studied film, and he really doesn't understand professional knowledge!He has been a spectator and just often watched movies. Under such circumstances, he, the boss, suddenly said that he wanted to do it himself. Can this be edited well?Even Jia Hongjian didn't know what Nolan's footage was about!When he didn't know what the materials were, why did he say he wanted to do it himself?After he really said this, he himself wondered why he would speak so carelessly!

If you want to know about editing, it is a bit like cooking, you always need to see what ingredients are available.When there are good raw materials, if the chef does not know how to cook a certain taste or a certain cuisine, it is possible that the cooking is not in place.But the problem is that when the ingredients are not prepared properly, even the best chef can easily cook without rice!But all that has been said, what else can Jia Hongjian do?We just have to get started and see how it goes!He, Jia Hongjian, is not that special kind of boss. He brags that he is invincible. After coming up, he finds that he can't do it. In the end, he finds this kind of excuse and that kind of excuse to say that the external conditions are not good. Other than that, there are very few calculations.That's still quite "manly"!

After getting started here, Jia Hongjian took a look at the material that Nolan had shot here.Seriously, this kind of material, that's really material... basically speaking, it's just a sequence of shots, and each shot is isolated.For example, in the scene where a woman enters the scene, there are three machines shooting from different positions.There is a long shot, a middle shot, and a close shot. The three are not like a well-edited movie with only a short paragraph.They can be put together like a jigsaw puzzle.Instead, all three machines filmed the one-minute scene in which the woman appeared from beginning to end.If the three shots are to be stitched together into one scene, it can be cut or spliced ​​in any way!And how to cut and splice, it depends on the technology!

At the same time, because all the shots are scattered.So Jia Hongjian wanted to edit before.There must be at least a general scene in your head.A rough idea!Only in this way can we say that many materials can be edited and cut into what you want!Jia Hung-chien is definitely not a genius when it comes to movies. At least he didn't say that he was immediately inspired when he saw these scattered materials.It's not that as soon as he sees the material, there will be a corresponding picture in his mind, he also has to rely on thinking!

Jia Hongjian thought about it for a while, and decided to follow his own working method—first separate the women and treat them as different sub-projects.Specifically, the mouse spirit is a sub-project, the king of the daughter country is a sub-project, and the bone spirit is another sub-project.Jia Hongjian decided to deal with the mouse essence first, which is such a sub-project of Li Kuang.For such a sub-project of Li Quniao, Jia Hongjian first put together all the plot scenes related to Li Quniao.In this bunch of shots, not only women, but also men, after all, love is something that needs to interact with each other!

Then Jia Hongjian brought the script again, and divided the overall plot into different scenes similar to the scenes in the drama. This is the further detailed sub-project.Then, after he finished allocating, what he got was the scene when Tang Seng and his group met the mouse spirit Li Kuang for the first time—to put it simply, it was in a place like Zakong Mountain where almost no one lived, but there were all kinds of people. In the forest of wild animals, Monk Tang, his master and his disciples met Li Cunningola which looked like a fairy.

In such a scene, the birds and beasts on the mountain are all rendered by CG, so it is naturally impossible for Jia Hongjian to touch this area.And now it’s just a pre-cut, just telling Nolan roughly how to cut to make it look good, so Jia Hongjian doesn’t have to do the work of showing all kinds of wonderful scenes in a panoramic view at the beginning, and he doesn’t have to. Cut out such a panorama.He only needs to be responsible for editing the specific shots, so the first job is to edit the scene where the two sides meet for the first time.

In the scene that Nolan originally wrote in the script, a white tiger appeared in front of Tang Seng and the others, which shocked Tang Seng all of a sudden. When Monkey King was about to come out and kill the tiger in seconds, he only heard a soft cry, The tiger backed away obediently, and then Li Guanxi appeared.The ferocious and invincible tiger suddenly became extremely docile, like a kitten...Huh?Seems weird here?Li Keqiang is a mouse spirit, and a tiger is as docile as a kitten?The kitten next to the mouse spirit?This, this, this... is this a natural enemy?

Well, in this movie, the original identity of Li Kuang is not shown too much, to be exact, it is not mentioned at all.It just adopts the setting that Li Kuang is the goddaughter of Tota Li Tianwang, and what is shown is that she is a "non-staff fairy", and at the same time, she is also a fairy full of vitality, similar to a modern girl.It seems reasonable for such a fairy to have a "kitten" beside her...

However, in the first scene, after Li Kuangjiao yelled a tiger, she appeared after a while. Is this really appropriate?Jia Hongjian couldn't help but imagined a three-dimensional scene in his head. According to our Chinese aesthetics, should this kind of girl "come out after a thousand calls"?Do you want to say that the girl didn't show up at all at the beginning?Just let the tiger get out of the way, and then the tiger will crawl on the side of the road to act cute?Then use a few similar scenes as a foil to show that the girl is unusual?

The idea is good, but Jia Hongjian just let it go - because Nolan didn't have so many similar materials when he was filming!He only shot a scene of a tiger without a real tiger, so how did Jia Hongjian come up with the shot that came out after a long time?Unless it is said that Jia Hongjian brings the actors back to make up the show now!But making up plays is not only troublesome, but also costs a lot of money!So from a certain point of view, we can stop making up shots if we can. After all, Jia Hongjian is not a real editor.

If you even think about it a little deeper, what should be the characteristics of a character like Li Kuang?It should be vibrant!Can this kind of energetic and simple girl come out after so many calls?Should not!The one that is hidden deeply should be the image of the king of the daughter country played by Sophie Marceau!That Yujie should have multiple images—for example, on the one hand, she is a wise monarch who governs the country well; All have great respect for her!After such an image of the queen came out, she was extremely solemn at the beginning, maybe even only appeared behind the curtain, and could not be seen vaguely, but when they met at lunch, they found that such a queen was actually a A lady who is as gentle as water, well-educated, and elegant!What kind of rush is this?All of a sudden the characters are all three-dimensional?

And Li Kuangxiong should not be such a role, such a "fairy" played by Li Kuanggong should be as lively as a modern girl, pure and simple, just go for what you want!It is ignoring all kinds of cumbersome rules of the world!It's the kind of person who immediately chases after her if she likes it, even if she's a girl!So after thinking about it, Jia Hongjian felt that this scene should be kept in the state where the tiger was called, behaved, and then Li Kuang came out immediately. In this state, the shots taken by Nolan should be directly usable. .

In Nolan's shot, after calling out to the tiger, Li Kuang came down from the stage by hanging on a steel wire.I think it should be accompanied by cg, and then some flowers, fragrances, etc. will be set off, so that the girl can show the temperament of a fairy.When the girl came down, Nolan used three machines to take pictures, one for the front, one for the side and one for the back.After watching these three shots several times or even dozens of times, Jia Hongjian was thinking repeatedly in his mind, how would he highlight and show the beauty of the girl!That unique beauty!

To be honest, it's quite difficult - you must know that even in front of Jia Hongjian, Li Kuanglong usually doesn't talk too much, and she is a little cold and reserved kind of girl.Probably because her mother used to be Daomadan, and she was taught the words "walking on thin ice" all day long. After all, the older generation of opera artists can't leave their tunes every day!If you don't practice for a day, you may really have nothing to eat!Moreover, Li's mother is still sick, and the family situation has only slowly improved in the past few years. If she is really carefree all day long, how is it possible?

Jia Hongjian knew what she was like in normal times, so after actually seeing the girl play such a role, when he only saw the scene at the beginning, he really had no way to understand the image of Li Yan in his head. Separated from the image on the screen!So always feel weird!Logically speaking, he should be imagining in his mind a girl with the same face as Li Yan, but a more lively and innocent girl. When this kind of scene appears, it is the most beautiful to shoot from that angle!But as soon as he thought of Li Kuang's face, he felt that Li Kuang should have appeared with a icy face, and then the appearance image that he came up with in his mind was not pure and cute, but turned into Bingshan Yujie!This is really a headache!
