    On January 23, in Los Angeles, at 6 pm, the red carpet was laid out at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, and countless fans gathered on both sides of the guardrail. They held signs in support of their idols and shouted loudly.  The name of the idol.  Journalists will not miss such a feast. They all arrive early. They occupy the best positions and snap photos of the big stars on the red carpet.  The spotlight was flashing continuously, and the clicking sound of the camera even covered up the noise of the scene.  Cheng Peng currently has two movies being released in North America. "Two of Us" has performed generally, with only over 600,000 viewers so far, while "Dark Invasion" has performed quite well, with a total of 12.58 million in two weeks of release.  Even so, he still has no reputation in Hollywood. When he walked down the red carpet with Tong Lixi on his arm, almost no one took pictures, and some media even put down their cameras and started to rest.  Of course, they are not the only ones to be treated like this. Almost all the crews of other foreign language films are like this. Even when the foreign language film awards are presented, the TV station will not show the nominees to reveal the best foreign language film. They will only film the titles of the films nominated by the award guests.  , unless you can go on stage to receive the award.  There is no way. Although the Golden Globe Awards is hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which attracts film and television elites from all over the world, NBC, one of the three major networks in the United States, is responsible for the television broadcast. It is for the American people, so foreigners want to  To be caught on camera, unless NBC determines that most viewers in the United States are interested in you.  Cheng Peng didn¡¯t feel too disappointed. He was treated the same way when he first arrived in Berlin. When he went to Venice, his treatment was improved. Things will always change.     at this time.  Cheng Peng saw the crew of "Sleep in the Deep" not far ahead.  During the movie in Venice.  He talked with the film's director, Alejandro Amamba. Amamba is only 32 years old and is a Spanish director who has emerged in recent years. There is not much age difference between the two of them, and they have both made horror films, so they talked about a lot of things.  Go together.  Cheng Peng smiled and said to Tong Lixi: "I saw our biggest opponent, let's go say hello!" Tong Lixi smiled and nodded, "Yeah!" The two came to Alejandro Amamba.  Cheng Peng smiled and said hello: "Long time no see, Alessandro!" Amamba also smiled when he saw Cheng Peng: "Haha, Cheng, I didn't expect us to meet here!" After saying hello, Amamba  He introduced the two companions around him to Cheng Peng, the male protagonist Javier Bardem and the female protagonist Bel¨¦n Ruida of "The Deep Sea". Cheng Peng also introduced Tong Lixi to them.  After a brief greeting, Amamba laughed and said: "Cheng, you are so awesome. You actually killed Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers"!" Cheng Peng also laughed: "You are even more awesome, you actually killed Almod¨®var.  "Bad Education"!" Amamba looked a little proud.  Almodovar is a national treasure director in Spain, and it is a huge honor to beat him.  He chuckled and said: "Now you are my strongest opponent, I look forward to killing you!" This is true. The five shortlisted movies are "Sleep in the Deep", "Spring of the Cowherd Class", "The Long Day"  "The Engagement", "The Two of Us", and "Motorcycle Diary". In fact, the most popular one is "The Deep Sea Sleep", followed by "The Two of Us".  "The Big Sleep" is a film adapted from a true story. For thirty years, Raymond has been committed to the fight in support of euthanasia and fought hard for his right to die.  The film discusses not only the sensitive topic of euthanasia, but also extends to the living conditions of the entire human society, guiding people to think about how to live is the most significant thing. This is a humanistic salvation in Western societies that are opposed to suicide.  , and therefore received high praise, and has now won dozens of awards in North American outpost battles.  The theme of "The Two of Us" is understanding and tolerance. This theme is relatively popular in the United States, a country of immigrants. For example, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", which was a box office miracle in 2002, is about tolerance and understanding.  Won several awards.  Of course, other movies are not weak either. "A Long Engagement" is the "World War I version of "Angel Emily" by the famous French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Although it is not as beautiful as "Angel Emily", it is light.  The sad atmosphere was created very successfully; "Motorcycle Diaries" is a very classic literary biopic, telling a fragment of the life of the Cuban hero Che Guevara; "Spring of the Cowherd" is very popular with the audience.  The imdb score is as high as 8.1 points.  Cheng Peng smiled and nodded: "The advantage is on your side, but I have no hope of winning. I hope to kill you, so that I will indirectly kill Almod¨®var!" Both of them laughed and said to each other.  Their young director said that everyone hopes to defeat their seniors and appear on the stage with the brightest appearance.  No??Their slightly exaggerated words attracted the attention of passing Hollywood stars. What do these two guys do? Why do they sound like gang members?  Soon walking into the banquet hall, Cheng Peng smiled at the three Amambas and said: "Alejandro, see you later!" The Golden Globe Awards evening was held in the form of a dinner, while tasting delicious food,  While awarding awards, it was relaxed and comfortable, which was a different flavor compared to the serious Oscars.  Since it is a dinner party, the wine cannot escape, and drinking will inevitably lead to someone getting drunk. Therefore, sometimes celebrities drink too much and the awards cannot be held.  In 1998, when Michael Fox announced that Christine Lahti had won Best Actress in a Television Series, Lahti was in the bathroom and she drank too much.  So Robin Williams took the stage and performed an impromptu comedy show until Lartie returned.  In 2001, when the host announced that Renee Zellweger had won the award, she was in the bathroom because she drank too much. Of course, it was a big upset that time. Zellweger did not expect that she would win the Best Actress.  Cheng Peng and Tong Lixi were arranged to sit at table 101, which was quite remote, and the broadcast camera lenses would not come to them at all. Those domestic viewers who stayed in front of the computer hoping to see Cheng Peng and Tong Lixi were destined to be disappointed.  Of course, the people at the same table are not unknown people.  Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron and his son Honas Cuaron.  and the crew of "The Motorcycle Diaries", which was also shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Foreign Language Film.  It is a kind of fate that everyone can sit at the same table.  Moreover, they are all well-known figures in the film industry, so it is necessary to get to know each other and make friends.  But in the process of getting to know each other, Cheng Peng felt that the way Honas-Caron looked at him was a little strange, with a hint of contempt, which made him feel baffled.  But Cheng Peng didn¡¯t take it to heart and started chatting with Walter Salles, the director of ¡°The Motorcycle Diaries¡± who was sitting next to him.  Seven years ago, he won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film for "Grand Central Station."  The Cuaron father and son were also discussing in whispers. At first, they just discussed it verbally. Later, they simply took out a pen and paper and discussed while drawing.  Both father and son are movie fanatics, and their pursuit of film excellence is to strive for excellence. They spent two and a half years to determine the lighting for the filming of "Gravity".  Cheng Peng and Walter Salles were chatting happily when they heard Honas Caron say: "Mr. Salles, my father and I had some disagreements about a shot. No one can convince the other. Can you talk to me about it?"  What do you think?¡± Walter Salles took the manuscript handed over by Honas Caron.  I looked at it and pondered for a few seconds.  Said: "I tend to follow the shot, but if I was asked to shoot, I would not use jump cuts, I would use a complete long shot to express it." Honers-Cuar¨®n took the manuscript, glanced at Cheng Peng, and said  : "Mr. Cheng, which way of expression do you think is better?" Cheng Peng frowned. He could hear the faint sarcasm in Honas Caron's tone. What on earth is going on with this guy?  ?  Even Alfonso Cuaron found it strange that his son seemed to be a little targeted at this young man. This was the first time they met. How could this happen?  Cheng Peng felt baffled. He had never met Honas Caron at all and had no idea where the ridicule came from. However, he did not show his displeasure and said calmly: "I have to see it first before I can draw a conclusion!"  "Looking forward to your opinion!" Cheng Peng took the manuscript and looked at it, and found that it turned out to be a standard split-shot manuscript. These father and son are really movie fanatics. They came to the Golden Globe Awards and brought this thing with them. The scene they were arguing about was  Film a man escaping from a heavily guarded location.  In fact, it is not difficult to create an atmosphere when filming an escape from a heavily guarded place, especially a careful escape, but it is difficult to maintain a sense of tension.  The difference between Cuar¨®n and his son is that one believes that the camera should be filmed along, so that the sense of presence is stronger; the other believes that the camera should be set up in the front, so that the actor's face can be photographed, and a tense atmosphere can be created through the actor's expression.  Cheng Peng thought for a while and felt that the performance technique of following the shooting was better, so he said: "I think using a handheld camera to follow the shooting is more effective and has a stronger sense of presence. The angle of the following shooting is very important. Your father's following shooting is designed well."  Very good, but the angle is not the best!" Honas-Caron smiled sarcastically: "Oh, so what do you think the angle should be?" Cheng Peng glanced at Honas-Caron and smiled.  "Can you lend me the pen?" He took the pen handed over by Honers-Kahlon and marked "-20" on the shoulder of the figure and "+30" outside the frame.  ¡± and then handed it to Honas-Caron.  Honers-Caron looked at these two numbers and felt baffled, unable to understand their meaning.?, and asked: "Where is the angle change you mentioned?" Cheng Peng said in a slightly mocking tone: "I have already marked it, don't you see it?" Honas-Caron's face sank,  Just as he was about to retort, Walter Salles laughed: "This angle is very unique, but I don't like this kind of subjective shot. It has a strong sense of presence and strong personal emotions!" Honas-Ka  When Long heard Walter Salles say this, he swallowed the words he was about to say. Walter Salles has won an Oscar and has a certain influence around the world. Since he said unique,  There must be something special about it.  It¡¯s just that when Honas-Caron looked at the numbers on the picture, he couldn¡¯t understand what Cheng Peng meant at all, let alone what was unique about it.  When Alfonso Cuaron heard Walter Salles say this, he was also a little curious, so he took the manuscript paper from his son's hand.  He was stunned for a moment when he saw the two numbers. After thinking for a moment, he understood. He looked up at Cheng Peng and asked, "Reduce the height of the camera by 20 degrees and move back by 30 degrees. Are you planning to follow the shot at a low angle? Do you want to expand the range?"  Can you use the surrounding environment to create a sense of oppression while viewing the space? " Cheng Peng nodded and said: "Yes, shooting from a low position so that we can only see what is happening in front of us through the characters can create a sense of depth and enhance the  The top angle is a vertical shot, and the surrounding scenery is taller, which can create a strong sense of oppression and make the atmosphere more tense. "It is indeed a good idea to follow the shot from a low angle, but what really surprised Alfonso Cuaron was when  He subtracted 20 from the preset camera position and moved back 30, which happened to be the best angle. This is not simple: "How do you judge the two numbers 20 and 30? How do you judge the accuracy of the camera?  "Your picture is very standard, and the effect you want is very obvious. Based on these two points, we can infer that the height of the camera is about 100 and the distance is 200, because the camera works best in this position.  "A look of shock appeared on Alfonso Cuaron's face: "You really saw the exact position of the camera, it's incredible!" Honas Cuaron looked at Cheng Peng in shock, his heart was extremely shocked.  My teacher said that some directors will develop an instinct after reaching a certain level. Just by watching the movie, they will know where the camera is set, what the angle is, where the lighting is arranged, and other information.  Just like an experienced sniper, you can know where the enemy is, what gun he is using, and how far away he is just by listening to the sound.  But it is not easy to do this. People who can do this are definitely geniuses. It is simply impossible to read out this information through storyboards, because it is not as standard as a photo, as long as there is a slight deviation  Problems would arise, but Cheng Peng actually used the storyboard to really determine the exact position of the camera.     How can this be!  Honas-Caron was deeply shocked. He had always thought that he was very powerful, but at this moment he realized that he was not worth mentioning compared to the man in front of him who was about the same age as him. This guy was simply a monster!  (To be continued)
