Subtitle of this chapter: For the sake of art, you can hold on!

………………………………………………

"Although the box office of movies in various countries around the world has been rising steadily since the new century, the film industry has entered a period of rapid development. But we American filmmakers should notice that a very bad atmosphere has recently appeared in Hollywood.

Those young actors called "Fresh Meat" can become popular idols and movie stars with their beautiful faces, E-cover-cup and eight-pack abs. They completely ignore the pursuit of film art and do not even have basic lines.

Cutting pictures, stand-in-the-boxes, and dubbing have become essential means for them to shoot movies. These "actors" are simply an insult to the name of actors.

No wonder in recent years, our Hollywood has been beaten to pieces by our Chinese counterparts across the ocean.

Let us remember Ms. Lillian Gish, the greatest actress in Hollywood history.

This film artist, who has spanned the three eras of silent film, audio and color film, has maintained the greatest enthusiasm for film art throughout her film career.

She had an extremely strict diet to film "The Lonely of Famine", and her weight dropped from more than 100 pounds to more than 60 pounds, and she fainted on the set several times.

Ms. Gishch's "good friend" Mr. Neo Yuan, also the screenwriter of the film, couldn't help but shed tears when he saw such a scene. He protested strongly to the director of the film, Mr. David Griffith, demanding that such cruel practices that harm the health of the actors be stopped.

However, Ms. Jish said to Mr. Yuan, my dear, I can hold on. What I value more than my body is my art!”

——Excerpt from the article "Variety" magazine (Author's note: "Variety" is the oldest and most important film magazine in the United States. It is said that more than 100,000 major actors around the world regard this weekly magazine as the most authoritative industry magazine.)

"I'm not full of food, I'm almost starving to death. Do you have anything to eat around you?"

Our Master Yuan took out his handkerchief and wiped the dust on his face for "the greatest actress in Hollywood history" and said, "Lilian, I have no food on me. But..."

He turned to a firm tone and said, "For this movie and for the art of film, you must hold on!"

"Neo, why are you here?"

"David, am I here to visit Lilian..."

Seeing the big director coming over to say hello to him, Yuan Yan threw the "lady of lovers" he visited to the ground, stood up and shook hands with the big director, "By the way, check out the filming progress of "The Lonely Girl in the Famine" to arrange the next release."

At this moment, the "Father of Movie" was wearing two big dark circles, and a blister appeared on the corners of her mouth. Her weed-like hair became much thinner. She looked not only a little haggard, but also aged in her teenage years.

He sighed deeply, turned around and pointed at the village and said with a wry smile: "Neo, I think you have seen it too. Until now, we haven't even finished the first shot!"

As we all know, long shots and montage are the two major forms of film expression methods.

The Montage School appeared in the mid-1920s, and it still appeared in the Soviet Union. The representative work is the "Odessa Ladder" "The Battleship Possibian Jin".

What I heard was that the long lens school was thirty years late. It was not until the famous French master André Bazin (1918-1996) in the 1950s that he proposed the "photographic ontology". He believed that only long lenses can preserve the objective space-time continuity of time and space, and have the full ability to coordinate the internal organization of the lens.

This lord is the founder of the famous "Movie Manual" school, and is known as the "father of the new wave of film", the "father of the spirit", and the "Aristotle of the movie"... However, this film theory master has never made a film in his life.

A large part of the reason for this is that compared with montage, long shots require much more than directors, actors, photographers and behind-the-scenes technicians.

Montages can be really made by just knowing how to cut films.

Long lenses not only require very high requirements for mirror-moving, but also require strong on-site scheduling capabilities, so they have become the most common method of showing off skills for later film directors.

The difficulty of long shots in large scenes is even higher. If you can shoot long shots of dozens or even hundreds of people, then this director will definitely leave his name in the palace of film art.

Not to mention the small scenes of dozens of people, Griffith had even filmed the big scenes of tens of thousands of people.

Do you still remember? In 1916, when he filmed "The Party and the Party" to truly reproduce the Persian army that destroyed Babylon, he mobilized a total of 15,000 extras.

However, short lenses and long lenses are completely incomparable. In long lenses, as long as a subtle expression of a small supporting role is not in place, this lens is considered a waste.

At this time, other actors and staff also surrounded them.

Whether he knew Master Yuan or not, he greeted him enthusiastically...

Some people who don’t accept the market are still asking: “I said, man, who is this Chink?”

Hearing this question, the "buddy" looked at him with a disdainful look and said, "What Chink? He is one of the screenwriters and investors of this movie, Neo Yuan!"

"Neo Yuan... I said, man, is it the novelist mentioned in the newspaper that even Einstein admired?"

"Of course it's him...hey, where are you going?"

"I said, man, please sign him!"

When a person meets celebrities alone, he is a little reserved, but once the atmosphere becomes lively as a group of people, it becomes lively.

So our Master Yuan fell into the ocean of the people. Finally, Director David Griffith gained great power. He picked up his loud voice and shouted a few words, finally dispersing the crowd.

Of course, the filming of the scene is not done for the time being, and it is almost noon, so Griffith simply asked everyone to have lunch early...

"Miss Eva Chandler, well, you've changed your name to Miss Huntel now, and you've lost weight..."

"You're so woof..."

"Oh, you are Lilian's sister Dorothy..."

"You're so woof..."

"Hello, Miss Mahjong-Dedri..."

"You're so woof..."

"Hello, Miss Pearl White..."

"You're so woof..."

"Hello, Miss Louis Bruceco..."

"You're so woof..."

Yuan Yan finally met the main actresses of "The Lonely Girl in the Famine". In addition to the sister of "Your Excellency" and the sister of "Your Excellency" Miss Chandler was originally unknown, the others were famous stars in later generations, and they were also great beauties with each of Chunlan and Qiuju. Of course, they are still little beauties now...

However, Master Yuan, who plunged into the pile of beauties, was as thoughtful as an ancient well at this time. This was not that his level suddenly improved and he really became a "master", nor that his hormone secretion had any problems and he really became a "eunuch".

But these little beauties can't see how beautiful they are, but they can see how thin they are.
