Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Strange Shots

Until the duel is over and the wounded one, holding his broken leg and howling to the sky, is seen, as far as cinematic grammar is concerned, is unassailable.All the development is so compact, and the use of the lens has reached the point of proficiency.Whether it's a close-up or a medium shot, it's all just right, so it can form such a shocking power that Bai Su and I had to stop twice to take a breath when watching it. But at this time, the situation he saw was extremely weird—the situation he saw was actually not strange at all, it was just that a situation that should never have occurred had appeared.

Just to give an example, a watermelon is not strange at all, it is extremely common, but if a watermelon appears on the head of the president of the United States who is taking the oath of office to the justice, it will naturally be extremely weird. At this time, first of all, there was an unusual change in the angle of the lens, like the bracket of the camera suddenly shortened, so short that it almost touched the ground. Then, the camera turned and pointed at the dark river beach. Since then, there has been no movement, only the howling of the broken leg. There is nothing on the river beach, all you can see are pebbles and the river water rolling up.What does the director want to express when he uses such a lens?Does it represent the disappearance of life?Is it to let the audience breathe a sigh of relief under the shock just now?Is it a fresh halftime approach?

When this still scene lasted for more than 20 seconds, Bai Su and I began to feel weird, and I first said: "What's going on, a genius director suddenly became an idiot?" Bai Su raised another question: "The scene of the broken leg just now... was filmed too realistically!" I responded casually: "The special effects of movies can make any fake situation look real." Bai Su didn't express anything, but she immediately said: "The muscles at the fracture contracted, causing the skin to roll up. Even such details are so realistic." I said: "Yeah, everything just now was really well filmed, but what is it like now? How long can the audience endure the stillness and howling?"

As soon as I said these words, the howling stopped suddenly and turned into a very heavy breathing sound. I said, "Well, a new way of filming." The camera still didn't change, but I heard the strong Jiaodong accent of the man with the broken leg: " Who are you? You—” Then, there was the sound of the cloth being torn, and some indistinguishable sounds, such as the sound of footsteps stepping on the accumulated blood, which were very difficult to distinguish. The broken leg was still asking: "Who are you?" What I see is still the river beach. It is conceivable that more than one person must have appeared on the stone platform. Who is it?What are you doing?Why didn't the director let people see it? If this is a new way to create a suspenseful atmosphere, then the most likely effect is that the audience can't bear it and leaves the scene midway.

The camera still didn’t move, and the man with the broken leg was panting: “Who are you? Why… you want to save me… I can give you all the gold nuggets, I have many gold nuggets, give you… can I still live?” Oh, it turned out that the person who came here was here to rescue him. The sound of tearing the cloth just heard may have been torn some clothes to bandage the wound.But the wound on the broken leg was so severe, how could it stop the bleeding so easily?To effectively stop bleeding, the best way is naturally to use the "tightening method" at the bend of the leg to tie the blood vessels tightly at the bend of the leg.

But in this way, the residual leg below the bend of the leg will not receive blood supply and the tissue will be necrotic. In the future, another incision operation will be performed—removal of the necrotic part at the knee level. And just now, the injured person lost a lot of blood. He can still support himself under this situation. Naturally, it is because of his superior physical fitness, but he is still not sure whether he can survive, so he is asking Will he survive. The person who seemed to be saving him didn't make a sound, and the hateful camera just stood there, motionless. The man with the broken leg gasps and slurs his speech. Naturally, he speaks with gratitude. I don’t think it makes any sense that he can stay awake and not pass out under such circumstances. He said: “People There is a limit to the tolerance of pain, if you exceed this limit, you will pass out, this person should have passed out in this situation, the director is here, divorced from reality."

Bai Su said: "In real life, people have different degrees of pain tolerance." I snorted: "Yes, Guan Yunchang scraped the bone to heal the poison, and he can talk and laugh freely. Artistic exaggeration is allowed, but it can't be regarded as real." Bai Su suddenly asked again: "How did the man with the broken leg wear makeup? His calves were not broken at the knees. If that was the case, he could bend the calves and hide them behind the thighs, but... How is this situation handled?" I recalled the situation just now, and waved my hand: "Sure, I must have found a real person with a pair of broken legs to play this role."

Bai Su said "hmm", "It's one of the possibilities." I shouted: "What is the first possibility? What is the second possibility? Is it true that the man's legs were chopped off on the spot?" Bai Su didn't make a sound. At this time, although the camera hadn't changed, there was another sound, so I didn't say anything.It was still the same Jiaodong words of the person with the broken leg: "Thank you, thank you, you... who are you?" His question still hasn't been answered. It seems that more than one person who appeared has made up his mind and refused to speak out.

Then, there was another gasp, and I couldn't help standing up: "Can you quickly roll forward, who is patient to see this idiot's handling." Bai Su said: "I think it's almost the end, it's about the same time to tie the wound." I was about to say something, and sure enough, thank God, there was a change. The river beach disappeared, and suddenly it was the night sky, but suddenly, I returned to the stone platform. It was a close-up mirror of a person with a broken leg. Tie it up, which is a tight tie to stop bleeding, and the cut is also wrapped with a cloth. It doesn't matter what color the cloth was originally, because it has been soaked in blood.

On his face, there were terrible ocher red stripes, which were the result of sweat flowing down and washing away the blood stains. He supported the stone platform with his hands and lay down, but he raised his head and looked up, with a look of gratitude on his face, but there was an unusual surprise in his expression. Those who bandaged his wounds and saved his life His people never showed up. The surprised expression on his face became more and more serious.Ordinarily, after a person is seriously injured, he doesn't know whether he can escape. Under the current situation, he should never show such a surprised expression, but he unexpectedly showed this expression.

He kept looking upwards, and although his rescuers never appeared, it was conceivable that he must be looking at them.Then, he suddenly panted and stretched out his hand.Trembling, he pointed in the direction he was looking at, and said, "What is that? What is that in your hand? Why are you pointing it at me?" They rescued him, but at this moment, he felt very serious about questioning, and on the accumulation of blood, there were footprints at this time, and the footprints were backwards. It could be seen that they were the footprints of two people, one pair was larger, and the other pair smaller. After those footprints appeared, they disappeared quickly, and the man with the broken leg seemed to be getting further away. Then, the man with the broken leg looked even more surprised, and asked "Who are you" several times in a row before lowering his head, panting, as if he was thinking about it.After experiencing such a huge trauma, when he was thinking, his expression was gloomy. From this, it can be seen that he must be very scheming and extremely sinister in his usual behavior. He thought for a while, then slowly raised his head, lowered his raised hands to support his body. The place where he lay down was the middle part of the stone platform, where the blood pool was quite deep, and he pressed his hands, and the gelatinous blood covered his wrist. He said in a very sincere voice: "Come here, so I can tell you where I hide the gold nuggets." However, what he saw changed from a near shot to a middle shot. If that represented a subjective shot, then the person who rescued him was walking backwards away from him. He suddenly yelled again: "Come here, I have a lot of gold nuggets hidden in—" When he said this, his voice became low and a little slurred. I hummed: "This guy has bad intentions." Bai Su said: "Yes, his knife is under the accumulated blood, at this time he must be holding the knife." I said, "It's hard for a person to resist the temptation of gold. Those two people who saved him thought he would repay him with gratitude and come to him... He was injured so badly, how could he kill?" Bai Su shook his head: "He's planning to kill someone in his heart, so it's tantamount to killing someone." I know what Bai Su meant, regardless of whether this guy has the ability to kill, as long as he has the intention to kill, if there is a kind of referee power that can judge his crime, then his crime should be the same as the real murder. same as people. Just look at the situation just now, his companions, his enemies, everyone left him as if he were a corpse.But at this time, when he was rescued and just had a glimmer of life, he turned around again and wanted to kill the person who rescued him. I took a breath: "Look, maybe we wronged him, human nature is not... so bad." Bai Su's voice was a little nervous: "It depends on whether those two people can resist the temptation of gold from him." As we discussed, the man with the broken leg continued, in a tone that sounded desperate, describing how grateful he was and how many gold nuggets he had. "The heaviest piece weighs three catties and three ounces. It is one of the few large gold nuggets found on the entire Jinsha River. Because of his special status, I am the best 'gold' among the 'foreign gangs', so I can have it." Such a big nugget." He said again that the person who rescued him "brought the gold and took him away with him, and the gold was shared equally among the three". He said another sentence, which was very helpful to understand the identity of the person who rescued him who never showed up: "The gold is enough for the two of you to eat for a lifetime." "Little couple", then the people who rescued him must be a man and a woman, and they are very young, so they must have made some intimate gestures. His words were so beautiful that I couldn't help feeling a little unwilling to read on, because if those young men and women believed his words, their end might be extremely miserable. However, to our surprise, the pair of young men were obviously not tempted, because they did not approach the man with the broken leg, but seemed to be getting further and further away, because it seemed that the man with the broken leg was walking away from him. The middle mirror has become a far mirror. The man with the broken leg lost his patience, and suddenly yelled very sadly: "Come here! I have gold! Everyone wants gold, and I can give you gold. Come here! Come here!" He screamed hoarsely, but the people who heard him screamed were obviously indifferent. After panting for a while, he howled again: "You are not human! You are not human!" As he screamed, he raised his hand that was soaked in blood. Sure enough, he had already held the knife in his hand. As soon as he raised his hand, the sharp blade rolled up blood balls, shining coldly, and waving it under the moonlight. It seemed extremely frightening. If he hadn't broken his legs, he would definitely fly up to kill people at this time.But this time, he couldn't. At this time, he couldn't kill, it wasn't that he didn't want to kill. For a person who has only murderous thoughts in his life, it is impossible for him to repent.This can be a formula, and any word can be used to replace "killing". For example: For a person who only fights for power in his life, it is impossible to ask him to repent... Perhaps, only in the moment before death, there will be a trace of remorse. However, once there is a glimmer of hope, the original thoughts will immediately cover up everything. After waving the long blade in his hand for a while, the camera has left him and turned to a large clump of reeds on the edge of the river beach. It may be late autumn at this time, and the white reed flowers are swaying slightly, looking soft and pleasant. It was in sharp contrast to the bloody massacre just now. Then, the screen went dark for a while, and when there was another image to watch, it was the scene inside the densely packed huts, the narrow passage between huts, and the sound of gongs coming from "at the same time". In the pitch-black shacks, light came out one after another. The flashes of dim yellow light came out through the cracks of the shacks and the windows pasted with tissue paper. It looked hazy and beating nonstop, like Blossoms of ghostly flames that came out of nowhere. I breathed a sigh of relief—the situation I saw at this moment can make people breathe a sigh of relief: "I know, the young man and woman who saved the knife hand are the protagonists. In order to maintain their mystery, the director, So we deliberately didn't let them show up." Bai Su didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he suddenly pressed the "Quick Rewind" button, and the screen was in chaos. Whether it was a person or an object, in the fast rewind, they all became chaos: good and evil are indistinguishable, good and evil are indistinguishable. Evil is difficult to distinguish, life and death are intertwined, and the chaos of strength and weakness. I looked at Bai Su and saw her serious expression. I knew she wanted to watch some clips again, but I didn't know what her intention was. Bai Su kept rewinding the video tape to the first scene after the wound of the man with the broken leg was bandaged, and then stopped there. She didn't look at me, but said: "Look, this person really broke his calf." The person with the broken leg on the screen can see quite clearly that the lower leg is indeed broken. No matter how clever the special effects are, it is impossible to hide the human lower legs so as not to show off. I said: "Yeah, I said earlier that for this role, I specially found a man with a broken leg. It is also more likely that the director's inspiration was triggered by a ready-made man with a broken leg, so he created the role." such a role.” Bai Su accepted my second hypothesis: "But you can read it later." She let the video go on, and it repeated itself, and then she stopped, where the "little couple" were supposed to be leaving, leaving footprints on the blood. I still don't know what she wants to find out, she said: "The two of you are going to leave after saving someone, but why are you leaving backwards?" Judging from the footprints, it was easy to tell that two people were leaving backwards. I spread my hands: "What does it matter?" Bai Su continued to play the video tape: "The man is asking: What are you holding in your hand? Why are you facing me?" I kind of wanted to laugh: "So what?" Bai Su looked at me: "Use your imagination, what is 'holding'?" I froze for a moment: "It can be anything." Bai Su shook his head: "No, it's something that the man with the broken leg hasn't seen before." I smiled. "That could be pretty much anything, too." Bai Su tilted his head, I couldn't help but said: "What exactly do you want to find out?" Bai Su was a little dazed: "I don't know, but this set of shots, starting from facing the river beach all the time, looks weird, doesn't it?" I agree: "Not only is it extremely weird, but also the style is not uniform at all, which may be due to the change of director." Bai Su thought for a while, but stopped talking, her expression was very puzzled, obviously she thought of something, but she couldn't say it.I was a little impatient: "Look at the development below." Bai Su took the button again.
