Inviting Xin Haicheng to bring his new work to the Silk Road Film Festival made Xu Xin feel good.

"Your Name" can almost be said to be one of the best among the anime "theatrical versions" he has watched in the past two years.

Whether it was the depth of the story or the thrill of the budding love between men and women... including the excellent level of the overall animation, it really made him feel extremely amazing.

In exchange, Xu Xin treated him to a hot pot meal in the evening.

The shabu-shabu mutton was paired with the Japanese wine brought by Makoto Shinkai from Japan... Although it felt a little inconsistent, the two of them shared a bottle and still enjoyed the feast.

I might as well sleep directly at Xu Xin's place that night.

I left in a hurry early the next morning.

When I left, I also took away the family's Cadillac.

The driver's license in Japan can be directly exchanged for an international driver's license. From this point of view, it is indeed very convenient.

Xin Haicheng stayed here for a total of 3 days.

In 3 days, he completed all the BGM recording of "Your Name".

On the 9th, I made an agreement with Xu Xin to finish these tasks as soon as possible and send the film here for review as soon as possible.

Xu Xin's promise to him was to make every effort to promote the introduction of "Your Name" to China.

He felt...there must be audiences in China who would like this work.

Everyone is happy!

After Makoto Shinkai left, Xu Xin quickly received the entire soundtrack of "John Wick".

25 songs in total.

For the soundtrack requirements this time, Xu Xin adopted an electronic style that combines multiple variations of tracks.

Including the nightclub fight scene, it feels exciting and smooth.

There is even a hint of "roughness" in it.

Just like the style of the entire film, there is not too much nonsense, all the moves are crisp and neat, and full of violent aesthetics.

Electronic music, surround, variation, dynamic... When the entire soundtrack of the film is integrated, finally...

The post-production of "John Wick" is all completed.

March 10th.

Including Lao Qian, Liu Momo, and several Paramount executives responsible for the "John Wick" project gathered together.

In the small screening room, at Lao Qian's signal, the movie started playing directly.

It started with a loud radio sound.

The male voice on the radio said in a brisk and somewhat teasing tone:

"Up to 7 inches of snow fell last night..."

Along with the sound of the radio, an SUV slowly crashed into a platform on the edge of a house.

With a creak, the car door opened.

Suit, blood, paleness, weakness... filled with various visual cues, Brother Ji walked out of the car with difficulty.

His hands were covered with blood, his steps were staggering, and he was weak.

After slowly approaching the stairs, he took out a mobile phone from his arms.

There is a video on the phone.

After clicking...

Xu Xin, who was sitting next to Lao Qian, once again showed a "happy" look.

It's different from other people's concentration.

He looked at the film's "Absolutely Beautiful" heroine Liu Yifei, the fat fairy and the fairy sister on his phone... and he wanted to laugh.

It's so funny...

At this time, Liu Momo, who was sitting next to him, seemed to feel something. He turned around and saw Xu Xin's bright "obscene" smile.

He was stunned for a moment, seeming to realize something.

He just rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, no one else saw their expressions.

Everyone, including Lao Qian, just watched quietly, watching what kind of story this director, who had almost single-handedly handled the entire work from project establishment to shooting to special effects and editing, brought to everyone.

Soon, with a flashback, the heroine of the film was "finalized".

Liu Momo turned his head again.

Xu Xin's smile became even brighter.

What a wicked man.

She shook her head slightly.

But soon the next scene made her feel "comfortable".

That was a scene full of Xu Xin's personal style.

The alarm clock sounded at 6 o'clock, and the distant view of the early morning sky was combined with the window frames of the windows in the entire room.

John Wick rises from the bed on the left side of the frame.

According to the visual effect, when he stood up, he happened to be next to the window frame.

The bed and MR. Wick take up at most a third of the screen. The rest of the window frame is like one wall after another.

It is clear that in the early morning in the distance, a light red streak in the sky, combined with the shadow of the distant mountains, gives people a sense of budding vitality. However, these window frames make the entire bedroom narrow and depressing, and the sunlight in the distance brings

The vitality forms a wonderful contrast.

It makes people feel... MR. Wick, who got up and turned his back to the camera, is trapped here.

And the next scene is even more so.

"Framework".

When he saw the next scene of John Wick going downstairs and showing a wide-angle lens on the first floor of the villa, these four words flashed directly in Liu Momo's mind.

The seemingly design-rich decoration and spatial distribution of the entire villa appear square and square under the wide-angle lens. One after another, the frames that are seen or invisible but built by the lens, paired with the cyan cold light tone of the morning, make MR

.Wick is always tightly bound within the frame.

No matter how I walked, I couldn't get out.

Full of Xu Xin style lens language.

It's not just Liu Momo who thinks so.

Even old money thinks so.

Although it is only two short scenes, it is not clear what the plot will be next...but the tension of this composition is pleasing to the eye.

No lines needed.

No need for narration.

In two scenes, the inner world of this character was fully revealed.

Explained clearly.

Feeling this, Liu Momo changed into a more comfortable position.

She had a premonition...

This is definitely a good movie!

And her guess became true in the next hour or so.

Whether it’s the color of the light, the construction of the lens, or the performance of each gun battle scene...

Coupled with the dynamic music, it makes her feel like she is playing a game.

Full of excitement.

Even compared to the slightly dragging rhythm in Derek's script, Xu Xin's handling of the movie feels like he is holding two sharp machetes in his hands.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was a neat and easy cut all the way from Beverly Avenue to Santa Monica East Road.

The whole movie is... unusually clean.

Yes, it's clean.

It's not about his shots, or his character creation...or his standard "killer" fighting aesthetics.

neither.

But the temperament.

The temperament created by the collection of these shots.
