[US Entertainment] Best Director

In April, Prairis and the filming crew traveled to Iwo Jima.

Ken Watanabe joined the group a week later due to the schedule, so Pryris took shots of other people first.

Iwo Jima just started spring in April, and it hadn't reached the "hotness" required by the script, so Praris went to the shooting location early in the morning to help the prop master sprinkle water on the clothes.

Today’s filming is the story of the archaeological team of later generations who came to Iwo Jima and discovered the letters from the family during the Battle of Iwo Jima, which is the beginning of the film.

Unlike Eastwood in his previous life, Prairis prefers to use a handheld DV to simulate the video of the archaeological team as realistically as possible.

But camera director Jill clearly disapproves.

"We don't need a video camera, but we still use a hand-held DV? Can we watch the pictures taken by the DV? Now all TVs use video cameras!"

Pryris set up the monitor and glanced at Jill, "The archaeological team will carry a ten-pound film camera with them? Do you think the audience is a fool? What we want to simulate is the real archaeological team shooting scene, not A well-constructed routine shot."

"Then at least use a SLR, at least the color saturation that can be shot is higher."

Prairie thought for a while, but still shook his head and refused, "SLR is too stable, DV is better, I still say the same thing, 'real'."

Jill frowned.

He heard that Eastwood would direct this film, so he agreed to be the director of photography for this film. Unexpectedly, he received a temporary notice to direct Spielberg as soon as he took the job. I thought that Spielberg was also good, so I didn't resign. Unexpectedly, Spielberg also dropped the burden halfway and changed to a British female director who only made one movie with a rating of 6.3.

Just crazy.

Jill sighed.

Prairis directed the cameraman to set up a handheld DV.

Alice Yamashita, the screenwriter of the Japanese script, also came to the scene and walked up to Jill.

At the beginning, there was no slide rail, and it was all shot by the cameraman's hand.

After ng repeatedly seven times, Prairis finally shouted.

Alice Yamashita looked at the monitor and asked Jill beside her.

"What do you think of it?"

"What can I do." Jill pinched the brows helplessly. "The composition of the picture is chaotic, the camera shakes, and even a professional cameraman can't save the defects of DV."

Alice Yamashita was a little surprised, "Is it so bad?"

Jill snorted weakly, "I said it a long time ago."

Alice Yamashita frowned.

Jill glanced at the chaotic picture on the monitor again, looked away helplessly, and took out the cigar in his pocket, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

Alice Yamashita nodded.

Jill took the cigarette and walked to the beach away from the crew, picked up a clean rock at random, sat down, and lit a cigar with a match.

After smoking one, Jill walked around the beach again, and didn't return to the set until the afternoon.

When Jill returned to the crew, he found that the crew was not shooting according to the original plan, but was taking a lunch break with a lunch box in their hands.

Jill randomly stopped a staff member to ask.

It turned out that Prairis had filmed the Shenmu scene ahead of time when he saw that the sky was getting dark, which made the entire crew postpone their lunch break.

Jill frowned.

.......

Does this female director think that the guys from the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild are vegetarians?

Jill sighed.

Videographer is changing film with camera.

"How many volumes have you used?" Jill asked casually.

"Two volumes." The cameraman replied.

"Two volumes?" Jill froze in place.

He tm went out to smoke a cigarette and dangled around, and he used two rolls?

This is a non-stop live broadcast to rob banks, right? ? ? ?

Jill was about to vomit blood.

It seemed predictable that the staff from the production department would send him blades in the middle of the night every day in the days to come.

He directly grabbed the film from the cameraman, inserted it into the transcription machine and started playing it.

The low-saturation tone and the rough and harsh light blinded Jill's eyes almost instantly.

What the hell is this? ? ? ?

Jill froze in place.

Immediately, he reacted and flipped through the materials one by one.

After watching the material of the two reels, Jill's back was already wet with sweat.

He no longer remembers how he returned the film to the cameraman.

I just remember that when he lit the cigar again, his hands were shaking.

After a day of filming, Jill returned to the hotel in a daze.

As soon as the room was locked, Jill couldn't wait to get several other camera materials.

First, click on the material of the cameraman Gerald.

Gerrard's camera is on the side of the axis.

Saigo Sheng, played by Shenmu, is digging holes in "obedience to orders".

The scorching sun becomes cool and deep under the low-saturation overall tone.

Jill seemed to see Spielberg's shadow for a moment.

Jill gripped the mouse tightly.

He has an impression of Gerrard, he is a new cameraman, he has only filmed three TV series before and after, and his strength shown in the TV series is completely like a fledgling kid.

But at this time, the impetuous and cool picture on the screen was obviously taken by Gerald.

Jill heavily clicked on the pictures taken by several other cameras.

There may be differences in the camera positions, but without exception, the aura almost leaks through the screen's coldness and sharpness.

It is like a knife, depicting the illusory phantom of that dark age.

Jill lit a cigar and leaned back in the chair wearily.

One Gerrard probably means nothing.

But so many "Geralds" appearing together at the same time.

......

Jill couldn't even imagine.

Silence for a long time.

Jill picked up the phone.

Just about to dial the first number in the address book, the bell rang.

It's the production team.

"I used more than 20 rolls of film today. Is this female director crazy? You don't know how to stop it!" The production team said anxiously.

Jill glanced at the shot of Gerald on the screen and took a deep puff on his cigar.

Breathe out smoke rings.

Slowly said, "I can't stop it, and I don't want to stop it."

Say it.Hang up the phone.

Tuliu's production team looked confused on the other end of the phone.

After Jill hung up the phone, she also gave up some thoughts on calling Prairis.

Click on the DV material other than the film sent by the camera.

He frowned when he opened it.

Just like the messy shaking that I saw on the set in the morning.

The colors are also completely devoid of the harshness of shooting with a camera.

Finally, Jill couldn't bear to turn off the DV material.

The production team called again.

Jill simply unplugged the battery of the phone.

After another cigar, Jill decided to take a walk at Prairie's.

Pryreth was roughing out today's material when the doorbell rang.

Looking at Jill at the door, Prairis froze for a moment.

"I saw the material you directed those boys to shoot today. Although I don't want to admit it, it's still great, but I still want to say that your idea of ​​using DV to shoot the archaeological team is really stupid. The camera shakes, there is no It has no sense of beauty and is not worthy of the camera behind it." Jill was the first to speak.

The long series of sentences made Prairis a little surprised, and then suddenly became enlightened.

"You come with me."

Prairius leads Jill to the sofa.

After pouring Jill a cup of coffee, Prairius went back to the computer.

"Wait for me fifteen minutes," Prairis said.

15 minute later.

Praris held the computer and put it in front of Jill.

On the screen is the material that Prairis had just roughly cut.

Click to play.

Jill was surprised to find that the DV material, which was originally of worrying quality, was processed into black and white, and... unexpectedly tasteful.

Even shaking has become a "real" label.

Jill froze in place.

The screen turns to the scene captured by the camera.

Different from the rough and real DV material, the pictures taken by the camera reveal a "cold" taste everywhere, even more touching and magical than the original material Jill saw in the room...

Cruel, clear, chaotic....

Jill stared blankly at the screen.

long after playback ends.

Jill stubbed out the cigar in her hand.

Looking seriously at Prairis, he stretched out his right hand.

"I'm Jill Harrow. It's an honor to meet you. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
