family background

Shi is an artist in changchun film studio. 1930 was born in a peasant family in Liaoyang county, Liaoning province. When he was ten years old, because his father lost his ability to work, the whole family had to move to Fengcheng and live in his brother's house as a clerk. His brother loves art, and there are many calligraphy and paintings hanging at home. He was influenced by this "family art exhibition" since he was a child, and he became interested in art. In primary school, the wall newspaper in his class became the garden where he published his rough and childish works of art.

After entering middle school, the teacher found his interest in art and gave him many suggestions, encouraging him to seek and understand the mysteries of art in nature. From then on, every Sunday and holiday, he took his sketchpad made of cardboard to practice sketching in the wild, feeling and depicting the magnificent scenery of nature. Due to the decline of his family and the darkness of corruption in the Kuomintang-ruled areas, he felt that his personal future was very slim.

In order to make a living, he entered shenyang normal College to apply for a job before graduating from middle school. Soon, the dawn of liberation lit up the northeast, and the fire of hope burned in his heart. The cadres stationed in the liberated areas in the school gave him the initial revolutionary education, which made him have the idea of devoting himself to the cause of people's liberation. He sold his heavy luggage and put on an American eiderdown, ready to join the army. Later, when I saw the documentary "Democratic Northeast" produced by Northeast Film Studio, I had a yearning for the film works in the liberated areas. It happened that Dongying enrolled students in Shenyang, and he was admitted to the fourth training class for cadres in Dongying. In Dongying, he learned the truth of serving the people. At the same time, his artistic talent has also been fully exerted. On the recommendation of the class teacher, he began to work in film art.

Since 1950s, his paintings have been exhibited in national art exhibitions at different levels, and many gouache paintings have been collected by individuals and units in Japan, the United States, Britain and other countries. Stone art exhibitions have been held in Jilin, Dandong, Liaoyang, Anshan, Changchun and Dalian. Invited to Singapore and Malaysia to hold art exhibitions and give lectures.

working attitude

In 1960, Shi is the artist of The Visitor on the Iceberg. When he went deep into Xinjiang with the founders, he was immediately attracted by the magnificent scenery of the Pamirs and the colorful life prospects of Tajik compatriots, and was encouraged by the heroic achievements of the people's soldiers stationed in the snowy plateau, thus generating a strong creative passion. He boarded the Pamirs twice, and spent a lot of energy on the design of scenery, costumes and figures, and the production of every piece of jewelry. In order to truly reflect the life of Tajiks and the scenic features of Pamirs, he boldly put some difficult scenes on the scene. Together with landscape workers, he set up scenes such as "Outside Kniaz's Home" and "Worship Temple in Jinsha River" at the top of Tianshan Mountain, which greatly enhanced the realism of the film. The scale of other scenes in the film is also rare in the history of feature film shooting. The scene of "Yecheng Street" covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters, and the roof of the worship hall is as high as 12 meters, which is extremely real and spectacular. His artistic design of this film combines the styles of director, photography and composition, which makes this film have distinct characteristics of the times and local characteristics. It was warmly welcomed by the audience after its release.

After The Visitor on the Iceberg, he worked as an artist in Xinshui Zhao's Express Train (1965), New Songs of the Great Wall (1975) and Bear Trail (1977), and maintained mutual trust and artistic ties with Zhao Xinshui.

He also worked as an art designer in the Road Test directed by Zhou Yu. In this film, he made many new attempts in setting techniques, and adopted the diagonal setting method of irregular plane, which enhanced the sense of space of the scene and received good artistic effects.

make an effort

Shi has never been to a professional art school, but he is good at thinking, diligent in summing up and studious. Over the past decades, he has done more than 20 film art designs and explored a set of experience in film art. He believes that film art must be unified with the overall art of film and must have a typical environment. The high fidelity of the film forces the design details of the film art to stand the test of the push, pull, shake and move of the film camera. Film art must also take into account the scheduling variability of scene characters, so as to make the picture vivid, harmonious and colorful. Therefore, he participated in the shooting of every film, cooperated well with the director, actors, lighting and other aspects, and tried his best to shoot every shot.

From 1980 to 1982, the artistic designs of Red Peony and Deep Heart were completed. Shi didn't go to a special art school. In practice, he worked hard, studied hard, accumulated constantly and improved his professional level. He knows that an excellent film artist should also be an excellent painter. So he practiced the basic skills of painting and improved his ability to understand and use colors. For 30 years, almost every Sunday and holiday, he either took his painting tools to sketch in the wild or buried himself in a box to paint. Everywhere he went, a new scene attracted him. After work, he always sets up a drawing board. Even in the midsummer season in the south, when others take a nap, he still insists on drawing and sketching in the scorching sun. During the ten years of turmoil, he would rather bear the pressure of "taking the road of white specialization" than put down his brush. History is a thoughtful and diligent summary. On the basis of thirty years' film art practice, he systematically summarized the characteristics of film art in theory. He believes that the characteristics of film determine that film art is different from other art forms. Film is a comprehensive art, and film art is only a part of this comprehensive art, which must be unified with the concept of the whole art and become the theme of the film.

Content service, but not as independent as ordinary painting; Movies create typical characters and typical environments, and film art must also design typical environments instead of mechanical copying and sketching. The film is highly realistic, and every detail of the environment, atmosphere and scenery of the film art design must stand the test of pushing, pulling, shaking and moving of the film camera, so that the effect of the scenery has a real and rich flavor of life; The film pays attention to unity and coherence, and the film art must pay strict attention to the connection between the inside and outside and the scenes, so as to keep the artistic conception, color, style, modeling and direction of the whole film coherent and unified; Film is made up of many shots, and film art design must provide perfect picture composition in the movement of the shots; The movie set creates a typical space for the characters' activities in the movie, and also provides an insurmountable activity framework for directors, actors and photographers, which requires that the movie art must carefully consider the variability of the characters' scheduling in each scene to make the picture vivid, harmonious and changeable. He believes that in order to successfully complete the artistic design of a film, we must accurately grasp these characteristics of film art and constantly develop and enrich it.
