"In fact, I decided to use 120 frames to be inspired by Cameron. When I was filming "Boyant Pi", I referred to Cameron's opinions on 3D technology. Everyone told me that using 24 frames to shoot 3D will increase the already existing strobes, but there was no better technical solution at that time, so I could only compromise."

"Later, Cameron announced that he would shoot "Avatar 2" with high frame rate, which inspired me. I still felt that it was not enough, so I thought of using 4k technology to solve the clarity problem, and finally chose 120 frames..."

Why 120 frames?

In fact, it is to save money by 120 frames, which is exactly the integer multiple of 24 frames and 30 frames of TV, so you can use the same format to make TV and movies.

"Billy Lynn" is a great opportunity. The focus of this movie is to "feel", not just tell the story, but to find ways to let the audience experience it and give them a brand new experience."

"As for the problem of being too clear, in fact, I think the image will not flash if it exceeds 60 frames. With more scene frames, after the resolution, it feels like taking off the veil. 24 frames are actually a minimum standard and are not ideal. The movie is a showbusiness, which is to show.

What you see in the movie is not as good as the human eye. The clearness of our eyes may be as high as 800,900 frames, which is equal to 8k, 9k or even 10k.

I hope you can look at the two versions from the bottom: first look at the 120-frame version, then look at the 24-frame version, so that the two can be compared.

I want to continue to study the 120 frames in the future.

But I hope everyone forgets the 120 frames and enters this movie world. When the images are more realistic, you will not be more nervous when you watch it, but more relaxed. But you may feel exhausted after watching it intently!"

"Theoretically, such an extreme frame rate will make the dynamic picture smoother, solving the strobe or shaking problems caused by the camera's swing, and bringing a more comfortable 3D and an unparalleled sense of keenness and reality."

"It is very difficult to reverse the audience's movie-watching habits at 120 frames. I hope everyone will scold me if they don't like it, and don't scold this new form."

Li An said it very slowly...

Lu Xiaoran pursed her lips...

Shadan asked again: "Do you have any ideas now?"

Lu Xiaoran: "…I forgot one thing, my age is 33 years old, and for me, there are many possibilities for movies..."

Li An: "Yes, I'm no longer young. It's very difficult to change people's habits and subvert a culture. My curiosity is indeed a bit strong, but I'm no longer young and I don't want to wait any longer."

Lu Xiaoran suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him...

Once the director is over 60 years old, he often begins to decline and his works begin to become craftsmanship.

Even Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen...

The biggest problem with "Player No. 1" is the sense of separation!

The theme of the movie is that although the online world is wonderful, real life is more important.

But the whole movie portrays the world on the Internet very wonderfully and beautifully, but the portrayal of the real world is quite weak.

This brings up a problem. The Internet world is so good and the real world is so bad. But you tell everyone that if you pay more attention to the real world, it is particularly unconvincing and gives people the feeling of forcing big truths.

The male protagonist is a poor man in reality. He relies on the Internet to obtain wealth and a beautiful wife. He turns his face and tells everyone that he should not be addicted to games and pay more attention to reality.

Is it convincing?

Fortunately, Spielberg's skills are still there, and people can't even think of these when watching movies...

But if this were not done when he was young, it would be impossible to make such narrative mistakes!

The same is true for "Billy Lynn's Midfield War". If Li An was at his peak, such a narrative mistake that ignored the picture and narrative in order to highlight the technology would not be made!

"I wish you success..."

Shadan: "Do you still insist on the statement that 120 frames is not the future of the movie?"

Lu Xiaoran nodded decisively: "Of course, it's not that easy for me to change. raising the frame rate is just a means, definitely not an innovation!"

OK, I can't continue...

The topic quickly shifted to the recent changes in the global film market...

Mentioned Marvel, and Chinese movies…

...

Lu Xiaoran’s point of view: Movies are the art of dream creation.

What the audience wants to experience is a life they have never had, rather than a sense of reality.

Only by conveying emotions and shaping the atmosphere through composition and light and shadow design can the audience slowly immerse themselves in it. If the frame rate is too high, the attractive mystery will disappear.

Therefore, 120 frames will not be the future of the movie, and this thing is contrary to the essence of the movie.

What is the best use scenario for 120 frames?

Of course it's a game!

Let me put it this way, if "Billin's Midfield War" or "Gemini Killer" were not filmed by Li An, there would be no need to change to a Chinese director. If it were replaced by Michael Bay, it would definitely be sprayed out!

In terms of clarity, increasing the frame rate is only one of all film technologies, close-ups, light, late stages, high contrast, and there are enough technology and film and television methods to ensure completion under existing mainstream technologies.

Increased frame count is only one of many ways, not the only one.

120 frames is a helpful attempt and worthy of appreciation.

But from the perspective of "Billy Lynn", it has no revolution in both aesthetics, language and technology, and it is far inferior to the influence of "Avatar" on the film process.

Innovation is not considered a good idea. At most, it is a useful definition of innovation. At least it enriches the director's means of expressing the world!

Is 120 frames rich?

If you ignore other elements of a movie for high frame rates, it is putting the cart before the horse.

...

This debate...decisively caused controversy online...

The controversial point is of course Lu Xiaoran's attitude towards Li An, which is not friendly...

Li An has a very good reputation. He has always been very elegant and has three Oscars.

His life is legendary: he spent six years at home, and then won the Oscar three times...

Most importantly, he developed in the United States!

Lu Xiaoran was too lazy to deal with the comments online, so he arranged the team directly to withdraw the hot searches. This was originally the two of them’s different views on the movie, so why did they join the team?

Tangtang asked while searching for reports on the Internet: "...Hey, can you tell me why you hate Li An?"

"No, I'm never hostile to any director, I just don't like his attitude!"

"What attitude?"

"I don't look down on Chinese movies!"

“…”

"It's over, I have to rely on the Chinese market to support him!"

“…”

"Double-standard plays terrible!"

"I won't tell you... By the way, we will participate in the Chinese Film New Power Forum tomorrow..."

Lu Xiaoran: "...you go, I won't go. I'm going to watch "Martian Rescue" tomorrow..."

"Is "Martian Rescue" done later?"
