061 False Mask
"Aaron, I need the pace of this scene to be faster and the camera breaks a little more, showing the turbulence of the shaking of the camera, as if everything is imminent, there is no room for breathing, and there is no room for thinking, so that the audience can only passively follow the story and passively receive information. ┠You have to read ┞╟┝book.ww.┠"
“So what about the space for thinking?”
"I don't want them to have room for thinking. When all the information accumulates and reaches a critical point, quantitative change will naturally cause qualitative changes, and the thoughts and awakening in their minds will naturally be born. It's like fear, fear, and retreat, and subconsciousness will emerge. After the movie is over, there are countless spaces for them to think."
"Jesus Christ! You are a lunatic! People are worried that I will cut their cameras all, and all my hard work has been wasted. I want to stay now, and you ask me to cut them off. Are you sure your mind is not broken?"
"Stop talking nonsense, what do you think?"
"If it's as you said, almost speeding up the pace and shortening the space for thinking, I don't think the lens needs to be cut off, but it can be cut off. I noticed that several shots of Hayden were shot using documentary techniques, and I can use them to shake the long shots of turbulent things."
"Very good, then what are you waiting for?"
Aaron Menk looked up and looked at Lance, who looked for his own sake, rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Hey, man, you now look like an ugly capitalist who exploits the hard-earned money of the working people."
Lance looked calm, not even at all fluctuations. He just looked at Aaron quietly, as if he had admitted these "accusations", which made Aaron touch his nose depressedly and muttered, "If it weren't for your handsome appearance, I would definitely punch you now."
Lance once again ignored Aaron's complaint, "It's not long before Sundance, and the editing progress must keep up!" Although the first cut version of "City of God" was recognized by Robert and was successfully shortlisted for the competition unit of the Sundance Film Festival, Lance was still unsatisfied. Recently, he has been in a small dark room with Aaron, busy day and night.
Aaron turned around and glared at Lance, and was about to say something, but Lance directly stopped him, "You don't want to smash your sign, right?" A sentence made Aaron stop and turned around and began to be busy. Lance continued, "Although you don't have a sign at all."
Aaron, “…”
Lance and Aaron were not considered friendly before, and could even be said to be enemies.
When Diorama Film produced "Love is a Bastard", the funds were very limited and he could not find a suitable editor. Finally, he fell in love with Aaron, who had just started his career. The two sides had their first cooperation. However, during the cooperation, Aaron had a fierce disagreement with Aaron, the director of "Love is a Bastard", Aaron had a fierce disagreement, and even had to fight for a while.
Although Lance also had many dissatisfaction with Arisandro - the director is a Mexican, and the division of labor in South American Big 6 films is still unclear. Many movies were edited by the director himself. "Love is a bitch" is just Arisandro's debut work. He insisted on editing himself and had many conflicts with Aaron; but from the perspective of the overall situation, Lance finally chose to support the director and fired Aaron directly. Later, Lance hired two other editor apprentices who had not yet started to assist Arisandro to complete the editing work of the movie.
Aaron studied under the famous editor Richard Francis Bruce, "Shawshank Redemption", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Brave the Deadly Island", etc., are all works by Richard as editor. Therefore, although Aaron was a freshman, his strength was still quite optimistic.
Later, Lance and Aaron had a few more deals with each other, and they almost disliked each other and broke up without any good times. Later, with Richard's matchmaking, Lance and Aaron collaborated on "Dance of Death Prisoners". This work was also the first time Aaron had been an editor since he became a teacher. This collaboration was still stumbling, but it unexpectedly made a relationship. ┡┟┝To read ┡book 1kanshu. ┞
Objectively speaking, Aaron's level is indeed excellent, not only because of his master's outstandingness, but also because of his natural keenness in understanding the camera and emotional touch. He can always capture the parts that the director ignores, add a lot of color to the performance of the actors. In addition, in the past two years, Aaron has also served as an editor of many documentaries and has accumulated a lot of experience, which coincides with the requirements of "City of God". Therefore, Lance found Aaron immediately and promoted this cooperation.
Facts also proved that Lance's idea was correct. Aaron's understanding of "City of God" was unique. During the work process, he had many quarrels with Lance, but it also collided with countless sparks. The first cut version successfully moved Robert and others. However, both Lance and Aaron knew that time was too urgent before, so some parts of the editing were too rough and they still needed to be reworked. This was the consensus between the two.
Aaron was sitting in front of the editing stand and was almost busy, while Lance sat next to him, silently watching Aaron work.
The broken sound in the "City of God" came from the editing room. Aaron skillfully advanced, retreated, and then spliced the camera according to his own ideas, just like an excellent painter. Lance was a little dazzled, and he was thinking carefully about the picture presented in this editing method. What was different from the previous method, but the vibration from his pants pocket interrupted Lance's thoughts. ┡Want to┢Read┞┡Book 1kanshu. ┠
Generally speaking, no communication equipment is allowed in the editing room to avoid interfering with the editor's work. However, in recent times, in order to catch up with the Sundance Film Festival in time, Lance is almost busy without touching the ground - the movie soundtrack still needs to be re-written; two versions of the promotional poster have been made, but none of them are satisfactory; the materials that Sundance needs to submit have not been prepared yet; since the movie is in Portuguese and needs to be accompanied by English subtitles, it is still on the school team... So, I couldn't help but put my phone on it.
Lance stood up and left the editing room before answering the phone, "Hello, this is Lancelot."
"Hey, man, how long have you been back in Los Angeles? You haven't called me?" The voice on the other end of the phone was full of the charm of a mature man, with a chuckle between the words, and the familiarity and intimacy were revealed between the lines.
It's George Clooney.
Lance was indeed a little surprised. It might be because he no longer subconsciously regarded George as his friend, so after returning to Los Angeles, Lance did not think of contacting George at all. However, since George took the initiative to contact him, it means that he still continued to play the role of "Full Friends", and Lance naturally would not expose it.
"So, this comes from the mouth of the man who just talked about love with Catherine Zeta Jones (es)?" Lance's teasing made George laugh out loud. George and Catherine collaborated on filming the movie "True Love", which was completed not long ago.
"At least I called this phone first." George was unwilling to admit defeat easily and said to Lance quips.
Lance chuckled, but the other end of the phone could not see the mockery in the smile, "This means you lost." The sentence is very simple, but meaningful.
During the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, people often say that the person who takes the initiative to call is passive because the person loves him or she has lost from the beginning. That's why Lance said so. But in fact, Lance's subtext is that George took the initiative to call because George still wants something to Lance, and he is the person who keeps selling friends and asking for honor.
George naturally would not miss the ambiguous meaning of Lance's words, and laughed, "There is no way, in this relationship, I am always the weaker side." He interpreted it according to the previous meaning and joked. "How about it, come out together for lunch?"
"Lunch?" Lance did not bring a watch, but he remembered that it was less than an hour before lunch time, and he originally planned to continue ordering takeout with Aaron.
"We haven't seen each other for almost half a year, or do you want dinner?" George was still proactive and enthusiastic.
Lance speculated that George's real purpose was just to maintain friendship, or because Ryan had acted again, or both. Originally, Lance planned to refuse, after all, he was busy now, and even the time for dinner was extremely precious, but when he thought about it, Lance nodded and gave a positive answer, "Just lunch, I've already made an appointment for dinner."
"I guessed that your dinner must be made a month in advance," George quipped, "so meet in Sunset Square?"
"No, I'm near Valencia Square now, go to the Olive Garden. Do you know where?" Lance deliberately leaked his location and told the location of the editing room. He believed that George would come by himself, although it was a thirty-minute drive from the city center.
"Are you in Valencia Plaza? Wow!" George sighed. It was north of Hollywood, already in the suburbs, but the thoughts in his mind surged, and in the blink of an eye, I had changed several times. "Of course, I'll go there now, I know where the Olive Garden is, see you in thirty minutes."
After the phone hung up, Lance stood there and thought. Although he had been busy with the post-production of "City of God" recently and could not find time at all, Ryan and George had been eyeing each other and felt bad. He didn't mind taking the initiative and finding something for them to do.
It's not his style to be beaten passively.
