After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 75 Color Aesthetics
Every detail requires exponential effort.

Li Mingyang has watched the original film many times, so editing it was not difficult and he just cut it directly, very quickly.

But we had to slow down when it came to color grading because the shooting schedule was not very favorable and many scenes had to be rushed, so they could only be corrected in post-production.

In the process of filming, color and optical design are indispensable, and the tone of the whole film is often set based on the highlighting and matching of different colors.

At the same time, it also renders and hints at the characterization of the characters. Therefore, the film's arrangement of color tones is carefully considered, and it is the key point in expressing the characters' emotions and relationship development.

As a romance film, Bouquet is definitely a leader in terms of color.

Li Mingyang wanted to use post-production to make corrections, but in this era, the software used in film and television post-production is too outdated and can only be adjusted bit by bit.

The future? It's all foolproof.

The film industry has been iterating at an extremely fast pace since 10, especially when AI is widely used.

Throughout the story of Bouquet of Flowers, from the colors of the pictures in various scenes where the hero and heroine appear, such as the lights in the store, the lights in the room, the lights on the street, the sunlight during the day, etc., the most common color tone in the pictures is warm color, that is, yellow.

It often represents warmth and softness, and is usually paired with couples to exude a sense of affection and ambiguity. This sets a more relaxed and pleasant tone for the film, and also indicates that the ending will have a more cheerful melody.

Another frequently appearing color is blue, which is a cold tone and often represents melancholy and sadness. The design of this film often uses blue in a dim environment to imply the cooling of emotions and the atmosphere of loneliness. It also often switches with the warm colors in the picture to show the dynamic changes in the relationship between the two people.

The two main colors in the film, yellow and blue, are contrasting colors in color and a pair of complementary colors in optics. Therefore, the combination of these two colors represents a kind of contradiction and harmony.

In addition to using light sources to create a contrast between blue and yellow to express the characters' inner conflicts, the film also uses the yellow and blue combination of the characters' clothes to create complex and contradictory emotions.

The most striking thing is the heroine's nails. Her nails have only been painted in three colors: blue, yellow and red.

Following the same rules as the color tones in the picture, blue represents inner melancholy and sadness, while yellow represents inner warmth and joy.

Therefore, when Ajuan painted her fingernails blue, her mood was dominated by melancholy, and when she painted them yellow, her mood was dominated by joy.

After the love blogger she followed died, she would still be optimistic about love. She would be happy at that time, even if this joy was surrounded by sadness.

In the end, it would be Xiaomai who confessed, not Ajuan, because during the dating days, Ajuan painted her fingernails in a melancholy blue. Her emotions were dominated by the worry that the relationship would not be confirmed, and she was afraid that he would only be a friend.

After Xiaomai's confession was successful and they established a relationship, Ajuan put on a yellow scarf, and her worries were immediately replaced by joy.

The scenes in this part of the film are very vividly designed. The entire background is blue, while Xiaomai is dressed in brown and blue jeans, while Ajuan is wearing a yellow scarf with blue nails. Each of them has contrasting blue and yellow colors on their bodies.

It shows the tension and joy between a couple who have just established a relationship. Both of them have mixed emotions at this moment.

When the emotional interaction between two people is strong, the tones of their outfits are often alternating between yellow and blue and complement each other.

The two were moved to tears by the story, and the colors of their clothes were yellow and blue.

As the relationship between the two changes from passionate to cold, the complementarity of the yellow and blue tones in their clothing will also decrease accordingly.

Until finally it all turned into toneless gray and white.

As for red, it symbolizes a beautiful transformation in the first half of the film, while in the second half it symbolizes a tragic turn, which is the exact opposite of the first half.

In the first half of the film, the hero and heroine are about to kiss, go to bed, and live together... red appears in every scene.

In the second half of the film, every time the color red appears, it foreshadows the increasing conflicts and cracks in their relationship. They decide to break up. On that day, Juan paints her fingernails red for the first time and wears red clothes. They look at the red Ferris wheel, full of sadness, and both understand that the tragedy of their relationship has come to an end.

Li Mingyang was very cautious as it was his first time doing post-production for a theatrical film. During the color grading process, he compared the color conflicts with his memory. It was obviously a complicated task, but he gradually got better with the changes in color.

After the color grading was completed, Li Mingyang went to watch the film he had graded. He could hardly believe that this was the movie he had shot, and he was in a trance.

It suddenly dawned on him that the bouquet used a color rhythm, and his talent for rhythm came into play, allowing him to perform at an exceptional level!

Wu Zhikui was shocked as he watched the movie, which was so different from the original version, and his heart was filled with huge waves.

He was the photographer of Bouquet of Flowers, and almost all the film footage was shot by him.

But after Li Mingyang edited and adjusted the color, he felt that what he had shot before was rubbish...

"Director Li, you are so awesome. The way you adjusted this film makes me feel like King of Sunglasses."

"Haha! Salute, salute!"

It took too long to color correct, ten days.

Li Mingyang gave up composing his own music and used ready-made soundtracks instead. Huace happened to have cooperation with the largest copyright agents Universal and Sony.

After getting the music library, Li Mingyang began to compose the music.

Film soundtracks can enhance the atmosphere and mood of a film. Through the pitch of the music, the speed of the rhythm, the development of harmony, etc., they can provide the audience with an immersive auditory experience, thereby enhancing the appeal and expressiveness of the film.

The importance of soundtrack to a movie is self-evident.

It was too troublesome to do it himself, so Li Mingyang just bought ready-made ones.

"Director Li, why don't you do it yourself? The soundtrack is too expensive! I think it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars." Wu Zhikui said.

"I'll save what I should save and not save what I shouldn't save. The soundtracks of Xiao Ri Zi and Hong Kong and Taiwan are too classic and can resonate with the audience. I can compose music, but original works sometimes can't get around the copyright of songs. Any attempt to circumvent copyright patents will be circumvented by those old hooligans."

"You can still play like this? It's too shameless!"

“Music copyright is too profitable.”

Wu Zhikui nodded and asked doubtfully: "Then you don't have to buy the original soundtrack, you can just sing it yourself!"

"Can you sing?"

Wu Zhikui shook his head and said, "You sing!"

"I sing? If I could sing, I would have hung Jay Chou up and beat him up. I'm tone-deaf."

"Ah! Is this true?"

Li Mingyang didn't explain, put on his headphones and searched for the music he wanted.
