Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Chapter 359: The Grand Budapest Hotel is covered with layers upon layers

Soon, the time came to 12:30 on January 29th, China time. M Country Eastern Time on the 28th at 11:30 pm.

New York City.

In the bar next to Sydney Cinema, soft jazz music flows in the air.

Ethan, the producer of "Redemption on the Battlefield", sat next to the bar with John, the director of market research department of Pinnacle Entertainment.

John held the wine glass and sighed: "In the past two days, the storm has calmed down a lot."

Two days ago, Ethan secretly complained about Chazelle, which caused a wide range of discussions on the Internet. It's okay for Cha Zelle to side with Chen Xiao. Everyone has known for a long time that he is an artistic person. They are dissatisfied but understand. 녦Nowadays, when you are cheating on the country, it is typical for your elbows to be turned outwards. Many people's impressions of Chazelle have once again deteriorated.

John continued: "As soon as the movie comes out today, there should be another commotion."

Ethan shook the wine glass, and the golden liquid glass swayed heavily. He looked through the wine glass, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "That's what he deserves. He has to suffer for himself."

The two chatted about the company's affairs, and 20 minutes passed quickly. The two put down their wine glasses and walked into the VIP viewing room.

At this time, in Chen Xiao's villa.

Chen Xiao was holding a tablet computer, and the giant projection screen on the wall in front of him slowly lowered.

Chen Xiao, Sun Li, Wang Rui, Fang Rong, and Cha Zilei also each held snacks and pillows and found their favorite seats.

Wang Rui sat on the sofa on the far left, hugging a pillow, picked up a bag of potato chips, tore open the package, stuffed it into his mouth, and sighed with a smile: "It's really rare to see director and screenwriter Chen dare to eat. Movie."

Sun Li joked: "What if I really cry?"

"What's wrong? I don't have the hobby of being a swordsman." Chazelle snorted coldly and put his hand on Huo Yun's head.

Everyone chatted for a while, and the time came to 13:00.

"께Bai, turn off the lights."

"Okay, Master."

For a moment, the room became dark. Only the light from the screen fell into the room.

Chen Xiao pressed the play button.

The picture on the wall in front of him started to move.

The list of directors, screenwriters and other personnel appeared on the screen. At the same time, melodious humming came from the surround sound system, bringing a nostalgic and romantic feeling.

After a few seconds, the story begins.

놇In the easternmost part of the European continent, there once was the Djupoloka Republic, which was once a glorious empire.

Wang Rui was chewing potato chips and curiously asked Chen Xiao: "Director Chen, is this place name fictitious? Does it mean anything?"

Before Chen Xiao could speak, Cha Zilei didn't turn his head and said in a cold voice: "Do you want to do reading comprehension? Just ask on the first screen."

"Sorry." Wang Rui shrank his neck and continued to stuff potato chips into his mouth silently. Only this time, the chewing movements were lighter.

On the screen, the opening subtitles receded.

A young girl walked into the cemetery holding a book in her hands and came to a tombstone with a sculpture of the writer's head.

The tombstone is covered with various keys. The monument reads: In memory of the national treasure.

She hung up a bunch of keys, looked up at the statue deeply, and picked up the book in her hand.

The title of this pale pink book is "The Budapest Hotel".

She turned the book over and there was a black-and-white photo of the author printed on the back.

At a moment, a line of text appeared on the screen: 1985뎃.

The story comes to 1985뎃 by writer 놇녡.

The aspect ratio of the movie remains unchanged, but the image has shrunk.

The writer told the camera a story he had heard.

At a moment, his voice suddenly became softer, and the screen ratio changed again, becoming a rectangle of 2.35:1.

The timeline enters the moment he narrates - 1968뎃.

"1968뎃, it was off-season when I went there. The hotel was not as glorious as it used to be, and it was still off-season."

놇In this hotel with few people, he met the manager, a short and well-dressed old man. There was an aura of sadness surrounding the old man. This man's name is "Zero". He was once the richest man in the Djupoloka Republic and the owner of the hotel. He only stayed in the waiter's room, which was bigger than the elevator.

Zero lamented to the writer: "Today's managers can't even be called second-rate. Times have changed. The decoration of this hotel is outdated, but I like this look. It has a charming sense of dilapidation."

Zero asked him to have dinner together and told stories about his childhood.

The screen changed to a 1.37:1 red screen.

A line of text appeared above: Chapter 1, Mr. Gustave.

Fang Rong raised his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

Oh my god, it is indeed a literary film, it is a bit hard to watch.

He stared at the screen, turned his head slightly and said to Chen Xiao, "What kind of doll are you doing?"

Chen Xiao responded: "Director, can you please be more professional with your words? This is a multi-layered nested narrative structure."

"Yes, there are really no shortage of tricks."

"Is this clear? When I was a girl, I recalled the writer in 1985. The writer recalled Zero in 1968, and Zero recalled Gustav in 1932. Gustav..." Chen Xiao smiled and said nothing. Keep going.

Fang Rong nodded.

It can be seen that as a director, he can see the relationship between the proportion of the picture and the picture at a glance.

Comparison of 땢1 screenshot (top left 눑, top right 1985, left 떘1968, right 떘1932)

When 눑, it is a 1.85:1 picture, and 꺶 is one point.

In 1985, it was also 1.85:1, but the picture was a little smaller.

In 1968, when Lao Ling was filming, a 2.35:1 picture was used. Both are used today, but the latter emphasizes visual impact more, so it is used in the memories of the hotel.

In 1932, a 1.37:1 picture was used, which is called the academic ratio and was commonly used from the 30s to the 50s. The sense of freedom is overwhelming.

Fang Rong yawned and said in a joking tone: "There are so many layers, can you tell me what the deep meaning is?"

Chazelle turned around and looked at Fang Rong coldly: "What do you mean by this tone? This is one of the main points!"

"Sorry, sorry, I know there is a deep meaning, but I am sleepy after dinner and my brain is not very flexible. I want to ask, sorry, sorry, I will watch it quietly."

Fang Rong smiled awkwardly.

He really didn't mean anything else. He was just a little sleepy after eating too much. He was too lazy to think and just wanted to hear the result directly.

"I didn't stop you from asking." Chazelle turned his head away.

Chen Xiao leaned against the backrest and sighed, "Don't talk to me, you will know the meaning of nesting when you see it later. Here, you should pay attention to the term "Chapter 1."

Fang Rong nodded and touched his head.

Chapter 1... Is this the word used by him?

The girl at the beginning took out a book.

And now it is presented in the form of what he said. Does that mean...

Ah!

Fang Rong's eyes lit up.

Got it!

No wonder. Writers in 1985 would talk to the camera.

No wonder, there are so many writers' autobiography in 1968. These two parts are the preface or the writer's autobiography as he said, right?

In 1932, Zero's autobiography is the main text.

If he guessed correctly, this story will appear again at the end of the movie.

Fang Rong whispered: "It's so complicated. This is an art film. It's much more complicated than "The Truman Show", right?"

Chen Xiao nodded, "It's more appropriate to say it's obscure. So I suggest you watch it at home, so it's convenient to talk. However, the embedding has a deep meaning, so let's watch it later."

Fang Rong nodded and looked at the screen again.

ps: There is a video barrage saying that the six princesses let it go, but I didn't find the playback information. But on CCTV.com, I did find its trailer, clips, and specials. This is to say... There will be a little bit of war elements mentioned next, but the film's stance is fine, so let's watch it at home.
