Chapter 199 Effort is fun
"Brother Wei, you really won't come back to attend the Homecoming Festival? This is Homecoming Festival."
"I won't participate this year, I'll do it next year."
"You know that it was Saturday and I didn't work on the weekend. Come back, brother, I know you, you are punishing yourself, you must have gone crazy and only doing things and not playing at all. Brother, it's not your fault to break up, don't do this, come back, we miss you."
"I didn't punish myself. I was keeping myself busy with work, but this is because I felt that a new environment and a new life gave me a sense of quietness. You can work hard all your heart. Do you understand that such a lively event like Homecoming and those very happy entertainment will destroy my feeling. I cherish it, and my current state is like... like turning on the faucet, I don't want to turn it off. So brother, I won't go back, you can help me bring my blessings."
"Okay... brother, I want to say, a person is always moving forward."
"Are you really Lev? When will you make sense?"
"It's not just that you, Connie, have ignored me for a long time. Hey, I'm going to beg her to see if there is a turnaround during Homecoming... If I see Lily, what should I say?"
"Say hello, if she asks me, you'll say you're just having a good life in Toronto, say hello to you."
"Then you pay attention to your body and don't mess it up."
It will be September 2nd in a few days, Saturday, this year's Harvard-West Lake Homecoming Festival will be held.
The high school campus was bustling early, with official activities ranging from afternoon to 9 pm, all-weather sports competitions, fun and entertaining programs, and a large number of multicultural cuisines served until 10 pm. In the evening, there is also the "Our Homecoming Dance" held by the student union...
The genius did not appear in the lively atmosphere, which was quite disappointing.
There is no return to school in Canadian schools, and weekends are still weekends. Ye Wei continued his peaceful life, but yesterday he caught a cold, and the weather in Toronto's seasonal changes still has some influence. He is a very few people who get sick, or that guy Lev has become a crow's mouth comparable to Bailey.
I sneeze from time to time, and my nose was quite uncomfortable. Mihaela wanted to take him to see a family doctor, but he refused. He just had a common cold, so he would be cured without taking medicine. He has always been like this.
On Sunday morning, Ye Wei was sitting on a wooden chair on the front yard lawn, basking in the sun while watching the script and drawing storyboard sketches.
I saw Nina, who was dressed up, walk out of the house and go out to play again. In fact, she is a hard-working person. She usually practices gymnastics, ballet and other things after school. She also practices in the morning and practices at home when she has time. Her feet are deformed. She is not lazy. However, she must go out to play on weekends. She seems to have a new boyfriend recently.
"Have fun." Seeing her looking at her, Ye Wei waved his hand to her and said goodbye, sniffled, and continued to draw this frontal double shot.
Nina shook her head slightly with her mouth flat, and walked towards the street outside without saying anything.
However, at this time, a tumbling sound of the car sounded, and a silver-white Cadillac 8V drove up. When he stopped, the laughter of young men and women had already come. The rear door opened. Nina sat in and complained, "Don't you let you wait outside?" Several people in the car looked at the lawn and the slugs with the paintings. A girl asked, "Who is that?"
"My neighbor, don't worry about him, drive."
The tall white boy in the driver's seat shouted, "Friend, do you want to go out together?"
"Don't do it", "I can't get in the car anymore." The girls' nervous voices rang out immediately, and Nina said helplessly: "Don't tease him." There were also boys' laughter: "He is a nerd." "How do neighbors sit on your lawn?" The boy driving shouted again: "You can bring your book or drawing board or anything else."
"I said don't tease him."
"Hahaha"
As everyone laughed, the 8V started to move and drove outside.
Nina, it seems that he is a bad person again. Ye Wei grinned, turned the pencil in his hand, and continued to devote himself to the rectangle. After adding a few strokes, he suddenly felt that it was not good and muttered: "This is too close to the shot. There should be a deeper depth here, which is not the front angle..."
Thinking and painting are full of fun and challenges.
In terms of terminology, audiences have two ways to watch movies, positive and negative. Negative audiences purely watch the story content of the film and rarely care about and understand the composition and lens of the film; active audiences not only enjoy the story and audio-visual, but also explore the deeper levels of the film, composition, color, lens movement, prop settings, etc.
They are not all seen by first viewing or just once, but it is precisely why classics are classics that are able to keep viewing repeatedly by the audience, and they will see more subtleties every time.
For negative audiences, in fact, there is little difference between directors in their opinion. For example, Kubrick, Spielberg, Ang Lee and him each made a movie with the script of "Sunlight Beauty". They could only see the same story. The family set out to participate in the beauty pageant. A lot of things happened on the way. They arrived at the competition site, failed, and went home.
Active audiences will see the charm of each director, different storytelling methods, and different words.
Just imagine, what would they do?
Kubrick may use absurd formalism, many deep-deep-field lenses, crazy colorful passages, thought-provoking ideas, such as "Clockwork Orange"; Spielberg will most likely follow business techniques and rhythms, with the focus on the fun of the story, everything is just right, like "The End of Happiness"; Ang Lee will pay more attention to the inner portrayal of the characters, and there may be nothing exciting, and he will express a group of people and a society in a warm manner, such as "Ice Storm".
I, Ye Wei, don't know, he already has a good feeling for this story and is sure of art and filming. However, there are still too many uncertainties in how to talk about it, which is inevitable. Only movies can be produced on the set and editing room. You must know that Ang Lee does not draw a storyboard script
Ye Wei’s style? No one can easily have a style, and no one can know his style before the movie is done. All you have to do is to do is to make a fuss and see how you look.
On the long journey of directorship, he had a great start. Others said he was a genius, but he must not think so. He continued to work hard and accumulate little by little, and then he found that he had grown to a state that could not be defeated.
"Let's have more breathing space, no, it seems that this scene is suitable for a long shot? Think about it."
On September 2, several leaders of the art group (art director, setter, prop teacher) and the film crew leader Sean Maurel and Peter Heller came to Toronto. They not only had to attend the first creative conference, but also had to carry out some work here.
In the bright small conference room, the young boss sat in the main seat above the square conference table, with Heller at the other end, and two department heads sat on both sides.
The first meeting usually only talks about concepts, let everyone have a preliminary exchange of ideas and make sure they have a clear idea, so the copywriting materials prepared by all parties are often very simple.
However, when everyone got the director's original paintings assigned by the boss, they were thick and thick, and they couldn't help but show their surprised faces.
"It's too late to color it, you can watch it." Ye Wei made a gesture of invitation.
