Coquettish Rebirth

"Nolan, you are really amazing!" Lao Mouzi couldn't help but praised Nolan in front of him.He has already watched a series of films made by Nolan. Before he became Jia Hongjian's younger brother, he hadn't seen many films made by Nolan. I haven't seen any of Nolan's movies.But after watching "Infernal Affairs", and watching Nolan's early films, it really made him feel that the level of Nolan, a rising star, has risen so fast!In the earliest "Memory Fragments", although Nolan has already demonstrated his talent for editing, he can still show two completely different meanings after a film is messed up in time and space through editing and sub-shots. For a story to be so confusing and fascinating, it is really high-level.But no matter how good it is, it was only good in the arrangement of the story at that time. From the perspective of camera language, it was still a bit flat.

In the following "Tang Monk", although many shots were controlled by Jia Hongjian and were all designated by Jia Hongjian, the formation of Nolan's camera language style can still be seen.After a film like "Infernal Affairs", the style of Nolan's entire lens language can be said to have been accomplished!Every scene in the movie has a stern color. Everyone is not so relaxed. Every scene is so serious that the audience has to concentrate and take it seriously!It’s like the inspector of the police who had a secret meeting with an undercover agent on the top of the building, but was found out by the bad guys, and then a gang of villains rushed over and threw the inspector off the roof.The style shot by Nolan is so grim!A cold and fierce style is displayed directly through the camera scheduling, just like a documentary!Under this style, he doesn't need to make those bad guys look so hideous, and he doesn't need those bad guys to show how to beat people. With such a look, it can directly make the audience feel shuddering!

It can be said that in such a film, Nolan really formed a strong personal style. The shots he shot really had the aura of observation of a neutral third party without emotion, as if in this atmosphere under the field.Everything doesn't have to be fully displayed.A series of atmospheres such as sadness and fierceness can arise spontaneously!From this point of view, Lao Mouzi has to admit that Nolan has reached the level of a master! "It's amazing that you can grow so much in just three movies! The future is limitless!" Lao Mouzi said in front of Nolan.Just stick out your thumbs to compliment each other like this.

"Thank you." Nolan accepted such a compliment with a smile. "However, I have grown so much. It is mainly due to Hung-chien. If he hadn't given me so many opportunities, if he hadn't given me so much help, it is obviously impossible for me to have such a big growth." Said Well, Nolan smiled and turned to look at Jia Hongjian who had just come out of the toilet. "What's the matter?" Jia Hongjian looked at the two of them in confusion.He brought the old man to meet with Nolan to discuss how to operate and shoot "Batman". After he came, he felt a little urgent to urinate, so he borrowed the toilet from Nolan's house to use it, but who knew how to turn on the water? As soon as he came out, he saw these two people looking at him, which made him baffled.

"I was telling Nolan that he grew up very quickly in several movies, and he said it was all thanks to you..." Lao Mouzi is still relatively good at being a man, and when he said this in Chinese, it was really true. Embarrassing Nolan and embarrassing him again! "No, he still has great potential. I just provided an environment." Jia Hongjian smiled.What he said was very polite, but in fact, if you think about it, it is also very domineering, because not just anyone can provide such a platform and opportunity to others!

"But having said that, Mr. Jia, why did you think of making Batman? This film is not very popular in the United States, right? Do you like American animation?" Lao Mouzi asked curiously.He came to be Jia Hongjian's apprentice, so he had done his homework no matter what! The film "Batman" in 97 didn't make much money, and he knew this after doing his homework and research.For a person like Jia Hongjian, Lao Mouzi thought that the films he worked on before were all original stories. Why does Jia Hongjian want to shoot other people's series now?And it's still a Batman series that doesn't have much influence outside the United States, not to mention that the previous work of such a series didn't make much money!Doesn't this make Lao Mouzi curious?

"American animation? Who would like this thing?" Who knew Jia Hongjian would actually answer in this way, "I want to shoot this Batman, mainly because I don't have any new ideas, so I shoot someone else's series to show it. We are different from others. Others make this kind of superhero movies. Superheroes are like revolutionary martyrs, and they are all kinds of invulnerable, with all kinds of beauties in their arms. This kind of thing is too brainless, I think Show them how to shoot superheroes to be real! In what age, you still shoot that kind of routine stuff, you really don’t take your brains to shoot movies just to please fans!"

When he said this, Jia Hongjian actually felt guilty, because he didn't think so.He first wanted to make the "Batman" series, just because he got Nolan, and Nolan would make such a series of films.As a reborn person, he knows this, and at the same time, he also knows that this film is very profitable, so he thought of making it for the sake of making money!Otherwise, Nolan, who was bewitched by him, would have to cooperate with another company to make this film, wouldn't Nolan, who was trained by Jia Hongjian, be going to make money for others?This made Jia Hongjian feel uncomfortable!But he couldn't really say this to Lao Mouzi, so he could only find an excuse temporarily to give himself a reason!And he and Nolan had discussed before they wanted to shoot "Batman", the mode and core idea of ​​such a shooting is to be different from the previous superheroes, that is, to shoot more realistically.So naturally this became his reason, and he could say that he wanted to shoot Batman to tell others that superhero movies can be done differently.

Such a reason was found by Jia Hongjian casually, but after Lao Mouzi heard it, he believed it directly!According to Lao Mouzi's thinking, there is no need for Jia Hongjian to lie to him!Moreover, Jia Hongjian is still Chinese, and he doesn't seem to have grown up in the United States, so he doesn't really like Batman. After all, when Jia Hongjian was growing up, there was no such thing as the Internet. He wanted to watch Batman. There is nothing, how can you like the story of Batman?In this case, we can only agree with Jia Hongjian's words, and we can only think that Jia Hongjian wants to make Batman because he wants to teach the film industry in the United States how to make movies!

Once he thought so, Lao Mouzi felt all kinds of shocks in his heart at that time!Why is he shocked?Because it is understandable to say that Jia Hongjian wants to educate various film and television practitioners how to make films in China, where the concept of commercial film is relatively backward. After all, Jia Hongjian has come into contact with many advanced film and television shooting concepts and operations in the United States. idea.But in the United States, Jia Hongjian still needs to teach others how to make films?This is... too crazy, right?Can Jia Hongjian succeed?This Jia Hongjian did not come from a professional background in the United States, nor did he seem to have worked hard in the United States for decades. Where did Jia Hongjian get the confidence to teach American professional filmmakers how to make films?

To be honest, if other people were at Jia Hongjian's age, if they said the same thing as Jia Hongjian, then Lao Mouzi would directly judge that such a young man did not know the heights of heaven and earth!He would think that what such a young man thinks is too simple. Could it be that people in the industry who have relied on movies for decades have never thought about what young people think about?It must be because of various difficulties that there is no way to really do that step!So if someone else said the same thing as Jia Hongjian, Lao Mouzi would not even try to persuade him. He just waited and watched the play, watching how the young man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen!

But the problem is that the one who said this in front of Lao Mouzi is not other young people, but Jia Hongjian!Although this Jia Hongjian does not seem to be a person who is too confident to say such things, but Jia Hongjian left a deep impression on Lao Mouzi. How did Jia Hongjian challenge the big situation in the country a series of times? !Can such a person who is full of drive and has been winning all the time really be able to educate his colleagues in the United States to be a man without his own background?Could it be that Jia Hongjian's level is really high enough to be considered a genius in Hollywood?Is he really as outstanding in Hollywood as he is in China?

Jia Hongjian didn't know what Lao Mouzi was thinking at this time, if he knew, he would probably be having fun!Because this film is bound to be a big hit in Hollywood, and under such circumstances, isn't it true that he, a Chinese young man with no foundation, is teaching how to behave in Hollywood?This is so exciting and so cool!What people who have worked hard in Hollywood for decades can't do, Jia Hongjian and Nolan have done it, and they have done it very well, which fully proves that it is not the subject matter that is outdated, but just Hollywood filmmakers I can't shoot it!In this way, how much will his reputation increase?In this way, what do Hollywood film talents think of Jia Hongjian?These things were things that Jia Hongjian had never thought about before, but now they are gradually approaching the possibility of realization!
