Mei Liai (1861 ~ 1938)

French film director. The world's first film artist. Born in Paris on December 8, 1861, he died in the same place on January 21, 1938. He used to be a stage magician, and later set up a photography workshop in Montreuil, which is the earliest studio in the world. Here he used special actors, sets, props, make-up and other means to shoot movies, which opened up a completely different film creation path from L Lumiere's natural realism. His first film was The Dreyfus Case in 1899. He is best at shooting fairy tales by stopping to shoot again and changing the scenery, such as Cinderella, Bluebeard, Magic Lamp, Arabian Nights and so on. At the beginning of the 2th century, he first created science fiction films, such as A Journey to the Moon, Two Wan Li under the Sea, and The Conquest of the Arctic. In particular, A Journey to the Moon has a great influence, which not only establishes the style of science fiction films, but also determines the position of film rehearsal in film production. Mei Liai's films are the first step for films to become art.

Mei Liai was originally an excellent magician. In 1896, he got a camera from England and bought nearly 3, francs of film from Kodak Company, and began to make movies formally. In this year, he made about 8 films, but almost all of them were imitations of existing works at that time. On one occasion, however, when he was showing a film taken from the Paris Opera Square, he found that a carriage on the screen suddenly turned into a hearse while moving. After looking for the reason, he found that when shooting this scene, the film had stopped for a while because of mechanical failure. During this short pause, the carriage drove away from the camera and the hearse behind it took its place. The picture stunt of "stop shooting" was born because of such a small accident.

In October, Mei Liai used this stunt to shoot "The Lady Missing". The following year, he invented many film stunts such as multiple exposures and model photography. With the construction of Montreux Studio, the era of Georges Méliès is coming.

The use of artificial scenery

The photography studio is almost a replica of the Ropei Utan Theatre operated by Mei Liai. Mei Liai moved the dramatic elements such as scenery, props, costumes, scripts, the division of scenes and scenes into his films intact. From then on, the film began to draw infinite vitality from the ancient drama art, and this process never stopped. The scenery drawn by Mei Liai is excellent. Houses, mountains and rivers are mixed with watercolors to give a uniform light and shadow effect, which is difficult to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood. In order to meet the needs of the plot, he also placed a large number of suspension bridges and movable doors and windows in the studio, and used iron cables to hang actors to simulate the scene of immortals flying in the air. During this period, Mei Liai filmed a large number of fairy tales and
