Chapter 360 A Director Who Understands the Picture, Watching a Movie Is Like Playing a Crime-Solving Game?

1932.

In a pink-toned picture with fairytale and dreamy colors.

Manager Gustav appeared, calmly and elegantly handling the hotel's affairs and entertaining the guests who came for him.

An 84-year-old lady, Mrs. D, who had been in love with him for 19 years, came to the hotel and expressed her uneasiness about going to a foreign place. She always felt that this was the last time she would meet him, and asked him to leave with her.

Gustav refused gracefully and comforted her with a smile, saying that she was overthinking and he would always be with her.

After sending Mrs. D away, he assessed and admitted the doorman Zero, who also started as a doorman that year.

Zero became Gustav's apprentice and started his life here.

He gradually became an excellent doorman, or to be more precise, this position should be called a lobby waiter. Invisible, on-call, predicting guests' needs, and keeping his mouth shut.

Gustav also continued to live an elegant life, entertaining old, blonde, rich, and insecure guests, and loved to use perfume and speak poetry as before.

However, no one knows who is the owner of the hotel. Only an agent comes to collect the bills every month.

In this hotel, Ling also met someone - Agatha, the cake shop girl with a birthmark.

The main characters appeared one by one, and the first chapter also came to an end with the sound of cheerful music.

Huang Peng stared at the screen, and his eyes were reluctant to blink.

What a beautiful picture, every frame can be used as a wallpaper.

This is really a show of skill.

The picture is symmetrical as a whole, but it looks for changes in symmetry, which adds absurdity and fun to the picture.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chazelle with admiration.

Chazelle leaned forward, opened the lid of the insulation box on the coffee table, opened the tin foil package, and took out a skewer of lamb.

Putting his hand on the box, he turned around and asked, "Do you want it?"

Huang Peng suddenly felt an inexplicable pride.

He also enjoyed the respect of the big guys.

But the next moment, people glanced at him and looked at Director Chen.

Huang Peng smiled awkwardly in his heart.

Well... I'm overthinking it.

It's all because of the boss's face.

Huang Peng smiled honestly, "No, you eat it."

Sorry to let the senior take it.

Just when I thought of this, I heard Chen Xiao next to me said easily: "Old Lei, give me one." Chen Xiao stretched out his hand.

Fang Rong's nose moved and shook his head.

Oh, it smells so good... I wouldn't have eaten full at home if I had known.

After Cha Zelei handed Chen Xiao a skewer of lamb, he turned his head to look at Wang Rui on the other side and wanted to ask casually, "Wang..."

As soon as he said a word, Cha Zelei was stunned.

Wang Rui in front of him actually... had tears in his eyes? !

He, he cried?

What's going on? What's there to cry about this plot? Break up? Then don't cry to the movie.

Chazelle frowned and asked, "Why are you crying?"

A bitter look flashed across Wang Rui's eyes, and he forced a smile and said, "It was filmed so well, I... was very moved and admired."

It's not moving, it's empathy!

The art director is responsible for the visual style, the scenery, props, and color design.

Color design tests the skills, but this extreme symmetry requires finding changing scenery and props, which tests not only the skills and aesthetics, but also patience and perseverance.

He can already imagine how much hair this art director has lost!

This time he thoroughly understood a scene in "Farewell My Concubine" - Little Lai Zi and Little Bean escaped from the troupe and came to the theater. Little Lai Zi looked at the famous actors on the stage and said with tears in his eyes: "How did they become stars? How many beatings did they have to endure?"

Take the symmetrical costumes of the elevator attendants, how much hair did they lose?

He was in pain.

Chazelle's cheerful voice came from the side: "Eh? Really? What do you think is good?"

Wang Rui took a deep breath, calmed down and replied: "The props are very well prepared, and the black and white gray tones are also handled very well. It can be seen that you and the art director have put a lot of effort."

Chazelle smiled and nodded, "It's really good. The cakes here are all real. I asked the art director to order more than a thousand copies. Some of them are uneven in color and bad in shape, so we had to redo a lot. The effect is good, right?"

"Good, good." Wang Rui smiled and tears rolled out.

Too miserable!!

More than a thousand copies, and redo?

Too miserable! It's really too damn miserable.

It's comparable to his cornfield. Director Chen always asked him how tall the corn had grown and how to adjust it.

Ah, at that time he wished he could become a corn and tell his companions how to grow. Too miserable!

Just as he was crying silently in his heart, the picture on the screen in front of him changed.

The cover of the second chapter appeared.

Different from the cute pink cartoon-style text on the first cover.

The text on this cover is elegant, refined and nostalgic.

But the background is bloody crimson, with two rows of badges on the top and bottom.

Branches extend from both sides of the square box in the middle, and each branch is connected to a badge.

Fang Rong slowly sat up, "Wait a minute, what is that symbol?"

"Oh? You found it." Chazelle turned his head in surprise, looked at Fang Rong, and then looked at Chen Xiao, "Did you tell him?"

Chen Xiao shrugged, "No."

Fang Rong patted Chen Xiao, "Go back and show me a look."

After that, he looked at the other three people.

Wang Rui echoed: "I have no problem. Director Fang said this, and I'm also curious."

"Me too."

Chazelle said nothing, obviously acquiescing.

Chen Xiao went back for a few seconds and pressed the pause button.

Fang Rong narrowed his eyes and looked at the badge in the middle carefully, "Is this... an eagle?"

With wings...

"No! You have to look at it upside down. There are two! Is it the black eagle eating the white bird?"

"right."

"Who are the eagle and the bird?"

"I won't spoil it, you can see for yourself."

Fang Rong pursed his lips and sighed.

Huang Peng, who was eating snacks next to him, glanced at the three of them silently.

Oh my god, is this what it feels like to watch a movie with directors who know how to shoot pictures?

The lens metaphor became a clue in their eyes.

Watch a movie and play a crime-solving game?

Chen Xiao pressed the play button.

Chapter two begins.

The picture changes from the bright, vibrant, fantasy-like tones of the first chapter to less saturated and slightly darker tones, instantly giving the world a sense of nostalgia and decline.

But this tone did not last long, and the red tone of the picture became heavier and heavier.

Two pieces of news were published in the newspaper——

·The war is about to break out, and tanks are approaching the national border.

·Mrs. D died in the bedroom.

Gustave decided immediately that he had to see her.

He took Zero to help him with his luggage and set off for Luz.
