"Brother Wei, are you really not coming back for homecoming? This is homecoming."
¡°I won¡¯t participate this year, maybe next year.¡±
"You know that day is Saturday. You don't work on the weekend. Come back, brother. I know you. You are punishing yourself. You must be crazy and only do things and don't play at all. Brother, the breakup is not your fault. Don't That¡¯s it, come back, we miss you.¡±
"I'm not punishing myself. I'm keeping myself busy with work, but it's because I feel it. A new environment and a new life give me a quiet feeling. I can work hard with all my heart. Do you understand? It's like going back to school. Lively things like this and very happy fun will destroy this feeling for me. I cherish it. My current state is like turning on a faucet and I don't want to turn it off. So brother, I won't go back. Please help me bring my blessings.¡±
"Okaybrother, I want to say that a person is always moving forward."
"Are you really Lev? When did you become reasonable?"
"It's not just you who is heartbroken. Connie has ignored me for a long time. Hey, I'm going to beg her on homecoming day to see if there's a change What should I say if I see Lily?"
¡°Say hello, if she asks about me, just say hello to you, I¡¯m living a good life in Toronto.¡±
"Then take care of your health and don't risk yourself."
In a few days, it will be Saturday, September 2nd, the day of this year¡¯s Harvard-Westlake Homecoming Festival.
The Senior School campus is bustling early in the morning, with official activities from pm to 9 pm, all-weather sports competitions, fun and entertaining programs, and a large number of multicultural food served until 10 pm. And ¡°Our Homecoming Dance¡± hosted by the Student Union¡
The genius figure did not appear in the excitement, which was quite disappointing.
There is no homecoming day in Canadian schools, and weekends are still weekends. Ye Wei continues his peaceful life, but he caught a cold yesterday. The seasonal weather in Toronto still has some influence. He rarely gets sick, or that guy Lev will become A crow's mouth comparable to Bailey's.
He sneezed from time to time and his nose felt very uncomfortable. Mihaela wanted to take him to see a family doctor, but he refused. It was just a common cold and it would get better naturally without taking medicine. He had always been like this.
On Sunday morning, Ye Wei was sitting on a wooden chair on the lawn in the front yard, basking in the sun while reading the script and drawing storyboard sketches.
I saw the beautifully dressed Nina walking out of the house and going out to play again. In fact, she is a hard-working person. She usually practices gymnastics, ballet, etc. after school. She also practices in the morning at home. She practiced when she had time, and her feet were deformed. She was not lazy, but she definitely went out to play on weekends, and she seemed to have made a new boyfriend recently.
"Have fun." Seeing her looking at him, Ye Wei waved goodbye to her, sniffed, and continued to draw this frontal two-person shot.
Nina shook her head slightly and walked out to the main street without saying anything.
However, at this time, there was a beeping sound, and a silver-white Cadillac 8V drove up. It stopped, and the laughter of young men and women could be heard. The rear door opened, and Nina got in, complaining, "I'm not letting you in here." Are you waiting outside?" Several people in the car looked at the painted spectacled slug, and a girl asked, "Who is that?"
"My neighbor, leave him alone and drive."
The tall white boy in the driver's seat shouted: "Friend, do you want to go out and play together?"
"Don't", "There's no room in the car." The nervous voices of the girls immediately sounded, and Nina said helplessly: "Stop teasing him." There were also the laughter of the boys: "He is a nerd.", "Why are your neighbors sitting on your lawn?" The boy driving the car shouted again: "You can bring your book, or drawing board, whatever."
"I told you not to tease him."
"Hahaha"
While everyone was laughing, 8V started to move and drove outside.
Nina, it looks like that is another bad person. Ye Wei grinned, turned the pencil in his hand, and continued to focus on the rectangle. After adding a few strokes, he suddenly felt bad and muttered: "This is too close, there should be more depth here, then It¡¯s not a frontal angle¡¡±
Thinking and painting are full of fun and challenges.
?In technical terms, there are two ways for an audience to watch a movie, actively and passively. Passive viewers purely watch the story content of the film and rarely care about and appreciate the composition and shots of the film; active viewers not only enjoy the story and audio-visual content, but also explore the deeper aspects of the film, composition, color, lens movement, prop settings, etc. information.
They are not all that can be seen at the first or only one viewing, but it is they that make the classics classics and can withstand repeated viewings by the audience, and each time they will see more subtleties.
ForPassive audiences, in fact, there is not much difference between directors in their eyes. For example, if Kubrick, Spielberg, Ang Lee and he each make a movie with the script of "Little Miss Sunlight", they can only watch In the same story, a family sets out to participate in a beauty pageant. Many things happen on the way. They arrive at the competition site, fail, and return home.
And active audiences will see the charm of each director, different ways of telling stories, and different words.
?Just imagine, what will they look like?
Kubrick may use an absurd formalism, many deep depth of field shots, crazy cadenza passages, and thought-provoking thoughts, like "A Clockwork Orange"; Spielberg will mostly follow commercial techniques and rhythms, The focus is on the fun of the story, everything is just right, like "The Terminal"; Ang Lee will pay more attention to the inner portrayal of the characters, maybe there is nothing exciting, and it will show a group of people and a society in a lukewarm way, like "The Ice Storm" ¡·.
I? Ye Wei didn't know. He already had a good feel for the story and was sure about the art and filming. However, there were still too many uncertainties about how to explain it specifically. This was inevitable. Only the studio and the editing room could do it. Make a movie. You know, Ang Lee doesn¡¯t draw storyboards
Ye Wei¡¯s style? No one can easily have style, and no one can know their own style before the movie is finished. What you have to do when making your debut film is to be wild and see how you look.
On the long road of directing, he has made a great start. Others say he is a genius, but he must not think so himself. Only through continuous efforts and little accumulation will he realize that he has grown up after a few years. To a point where it cannot be defeated.
"Give me more breathing space, no, it seems like this scene is suitable for a long shot? Think about it."
On September 2nd, several heads of the art team (art director, set designer, prop master) of "Little Miss Sunshine" and film crew heads Sean Maurer and Peter Heller came to Toronto. Not only did they have to participate in the third A creative meeting also requires some work to be carried out here.
In the bright small conference room, the young boss sat at the top of the square conference table. At the other end was Heller, the "Hand of the King", and two department heads sat on each side.
The first meeting is usually just to talk about concepts and let everyone have a preliminary exchange of ideas so that they have a clear idea, so the copywriting materials prepared by all parties are often very simple.
However, when everyone got a copy of the director's original painting assigned by the little boss, it was a thick stack, and they couldn't help but look surprised. There were so many
"It's too late to color, so just wait and see." Ye Wei made a gesture of invitation.
There was silence in the conference room. They only flipped a few times and felt a little embarrassed, because in comparison, their preparations were equal to no preparations.
