News from Shi Tian. Com: The documentary "Cheng Cheng" won the best short film and the best director in the 2004 Documentary Academic Award. When the news came, I opened dozens of pages of interview notes and field notes of a whole book, and the scenes of the production process of Honest City surfaced again. The first page of the interview notes recorded a message: In 2004, the painter Xin Dongwang won the gold medal in oil painting for Tianjin. This is provided by the manufacturer. Experienced and topic-sensitive producers may have realized something when they saw this unremarkable cultural news. "This is the first time that Tianjin oil painting has won a national gold medal in recent years. There is a story behind this breakthrough, and a philosophical story needs to be discovered. " Xin Dongwang, the photographer of the documentary "Cheng Cheng", came into our sight. This is a growth story from migrant workers to Professor Tsinghua University, and it is also a mental journey of a man's struggle. The following notes are all helpless question marks and fragments of thoughts. Thoughts shuttled between Xin Dongwang's life experience and his paintings, and his eyes carefully read every corner of the album, every painting, every stroke and every word, over and over again, day after day. Finally, the painter's paintings overlap with his people, and the rich three-dimensional life story explains the vivid characters in his paintings. The interweaving of paintings and people skillfully constructed the documentary "Honest City" and continued to write the following interview notes. When the director and producer saw the topic report, their excitement and enthusiasm infected everyone. Under the guidance and entrustment of the director, the filming of Honest City began. The thick diary records every minute of the picture and the scenes taken by the film crew. The first tape of the documentary "Cheng Cheng" is a scene in which the painter arranges his studio in Beijing. There are powerful close-ups of buildings, delicate subjective shots of characters, scenes painted by painters from all angles, scenes of migrant workers' life captured by improvisation, and panoramic views with perfect composition. The pictures that are easy to cut and edit prove that photographers and lighting engineers are active, proactive, dedicated and superb in technical level. The tenth tape, the weather in the twelfth month, the white hair wind on the dam is blowing tightly, with a roaring roar. The snow just falling on the picture runs wildly on the frozen ground, and a carriage driven by farmers in Zhangbei is from far and near and from near and far, over and over again. We think of the cameraman and the cameraman standing in the biting cold wind of minus 20 degrees, shooting in the terrible Zhangbei twelfth lunar month. They get off the bus again and again, wait again and again, and look at different scenes and angles until they are satisfied. The twentieth to twenty-fifth tapes returned to Beijing, which recorded three days of fighting day and night. In order to catch up with the filming progress, the film crew called it a day in the afternoon 12 and continued to work at 6 o'clock the next morning. Fortunately, the camera usually insists on fitness exercise, saying that work is not tired. There is also a whole box of tapes provided by reporters from the international department, which is the framework of the wonderful city image in the film. Sincere faces and hard-working figures emerge in front of us, which constitute the early memories of the honest city. The post-directors and producers' check, affirmation and encouragement of the manuscript gave confidence to post-production; The work of technicians such as nonlinear, sound effects and editing adds luster to the film. An "honest city" is lucky. It was born in the good atmosphere and environment of TV stations, international departments and China documentaries. Every second's freeze-frame embodies everyone's hard work and wisdom, and only in this way can we have the present "honest city".
