Hi ~ I am the King of the Hidden Leopard
This is the 43rd
1 of my 2019 weekly change plan. The second season of the documentary "Adventure Life" was broadcast a few days ago. As if being reminded, I remembered that the first season was not over.
chose to watch two episodes last night. My favorite is Li Dan's wandering around Japan and meeting a "Chinese Pimp in Japan" episode.
Li Dan is a character who can't help but explore. He made "Tucao Conference" and is a talk show actor who can write jokes and speak funny. But the top of his Weibo is "The world is not worth it", and the title of his book is "Guide to the Transcendence of the Universe". At the age of 30, he laughed and cursed every day, but he had already seen through life. In the
show, they went to the temple together. Li Dan said that he never bowed to the temple. Since we can communicate with gods and Buddhas at any time, why must we go to the temple to bow down? At the end of the conversation, he habitually throws away the stems, he said: "This seems to be more productive."
chatted with Aya and talked about the topic of happiness. He said: "(Do you think) do you think I am happy?" Aya suddenly didn't know how to answer. He may have given up the pursuit of happiness long ago.
talked about his sudden popularity. He said that he knew he had gained a reputation that his strength couldn’t match. “Being famous is like winning a lottery.” You didn’t expect it, but suddenly it was sent to you. Say don't throw it away? When
was recognized in the restaurant, he would secretly ask in the private room, "Are they complimenting me or scolding me?" The person next to him said, "Of course he was complimenting you!" Then he smiled and said: " Then I'll go out and play with them." Then I went out to take photos and chat with people.
These are a few moving moments that I remember from my impressions. This is also what makes documentaries more fascinating than variety shows. In Kataba's life, there are countless small and indefinable cross-sections of a person. Those things constitute a real, three-dimensional personality.
The person he met in Japan was Li Xiaomu. If you have watched "Round Table Pie" or "The Son of Three People" even a long time ago, you may know him. Li Xiaomu went to Japan at the age of 27 and has been working in Kabukicho. Starting from cleaning and being dragged into a dark alley by his little brother, he became the most famous Kabukicho "Mamasan" among the Chinese.
Li Xiaomu has been married six times and has three sons. I published two books and broke the news in the blog: "(The eldest son) has eyebrows and body shape without any trace of me. After more than 20 years, DNA confirmed that the eldest son is indeed not mine."
He is 59 years old , Divorced, living alone in a narrow one-bedroom room less than twenty square meters visually. Thin, straight back, full of energy and full of interest. At the age of more than half a century, he decided to transform from a media person again, to become a politician, and participate in the election of Shinjuku District Councilman as a member of the Democratic Party. Wearing formal attire, wearing a trumpet, handing out flyers on the street, putting up posters, and canvassing for himself.
Li Xiaomu's life is a negative life that Li Xian can't participate in. Experience complex legends, see all kinds of characters and the ups and downs of destiny, but still live a simple, hard and passionate life. When
gets older, I start to feel that everyone can only live a very limited life. There are some possibilities, you know that even if you yearn for it, you will never be able to do it in your life. For example, Wang Yibo's life of "live with talent and intuition", I have never been able to touch the slightest in my life.
Every issue of "Life in Adventure" takes guests to travel where he wants to go most. In fact, a careful analysis of the destination chosen by each guest can reveal many character traits, or preferences.
For example, Dou Xiao is an avid sportsman, he wants to climb mountains, likes excitement and challenges. Chun Xia is a literary and artistic youth, she wants to chase the tornado, and she still has a longing for poetry and the distance. Li Dan chose Japan, which has been to a dozen times. He has no interest in traveling at all. After all, he has no interest in life anymore. His only curiosity is to see what other possibilities exist in life.
Seeing Li Xiaomu, who is now 60 years old, still happily handing out flyers, and seeing him living in an apartment with only one bed but at ease. I wonder if Li Dan has the answer he wants?
2, Gemini killer
, taking advantage of the movie has not been off the shelves, I called Li Ang a vote, 120 frames are worth a try, everyone can go and see if possible.
Someone may not understand what frame 120 ismeaning. It takes a while for the image to disappear from the retina, which is the afterimage phenomenon. Because of the phenomenon of human eyes, as long as the switching time of the two frames is higher than 1/24 second, the human eyes cannot distinguish it, so for humans, it is a continuous picture. Therefore, traditional TV and movie display devices choose to play 24 pictures per second (the lowest cost), and slowly 24 frames have become the industry standard that lasts for a century. The
24 frame has many shortcomings, for example, it is not clear enough to show some high-speed moving pictures. Ang Lee felt the limitations of 24 frames when filming "The Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie". So he embarked on a journey of exploring new technologies. Three years ago, he filmed "Billy Lynn's Midfield Battle" and became the first person in the world to explore 120-frame technology. Today, three years later, he filmed "Gemini Killer" again, and is still the only 120-frame technology explorer in the world. If
uses the box office to measure the value of this exploration, Ang Lee clearly failed. The box office and reputation of Gemini Killer at home and abroad are not satisfactory.
Three years ago, he was still very high-spirited, but today, he looked around and found that there was still no companion beside him, and he was very cold in the heights. He also showed self-doubt in the interview: Did I do something wrong?
If you walk into the theater and experience it, you may be able to answer Li Ang’s question. The biggest criticism of
is that the subject matter is too old. The concept of human cloning may have been new 20 years ago, but today, it has been unable to trigger discussion. This is why the film is underrated.
I think Ang Lee uses traditional narrative logic to tell a traditional story, so that everyone can reserve more attention to adapt to and experience the movie-watching experience brought by new technologies? What is the concept of
120 frame? As a nearsighted eye, it is clearer than the real world I see after wearing glasses. Whether it is near or far, I can see richer and brighter details. The brand new visual presentation of
leads to the need for a brand new movie language. Ang Lee is a director full of humanistic feelings. His exploration of new technologies has also fallen to a very humanistic point, that is, "face reading".
He said: "Human faces are better than thousands of people, better than actions, better than sci-fi. It’s nothing great that actions can’t be seen clearly. We spent a lifetime reading people’s faces. We can feel the feelings of others, he doesn’t need it. Acting, you can know how he feels inside."
is thirsty, you don’t need the actor to find a cup to drink, the audience can directly see the thirsty state of the actor. All the subtle expressions cannot be concealed, which directly changed the director and acting methods. In fact, the movie lens is really different. The Gemini Killer's photography uses a lot of close-up shots, almost touching the actor's face.
When I saw the male protagonist weeping silently and huge tears pouring out of his eyes, I suddenly remembered the moment when the eyes shed tears in "Alita·Battle Angel" that took the special effects team two years to draw. Without words, the clear teardrops slide down like rain, and the moving emotions will flood your face.
Of course, face reading is Lee's special fascination with 120 frames. In fact, 120 frames also have a brand new presentation for action scenes. The textbook-level Moroccan city shootout is a fascinating match between life and death, and I can't stop watching.
In addition, the main line of the film is "the old retired killer, who finds the 20-year-old young version of himself to chase himself." The young version of himself was digitally synthesized using real-life capture technology. No trace of digitization can be seen under the HD lens, just like a real body. I think this technology is also amazing. There will be more and more fakefaces in the future, I don't know what it will develop into.
