red

the red digital cinema camera company is a manufacturer of digital cinematography cameras and accessories for professional and cinematic use. The founder is james jannard, who is also the founder of oakley. if you happen to have a pair of oakley sunglasses, you may know about whom i am talking.

a keen photographer and billionaire, jannard makes red a true miracle. therefore, i'd say, when money meets passion, technology generates a monster.

“this is the camera i’ve been waiting for my whole career: jaw-dropping imagery recorded onboard a camera light enough to hold with one hand. …red is going to change everything.”

- steven soderbergh

“i liked what they were doing – making a digital camera of the utmost quality, and making it affordable for indie filmmakers.”

- peter jackson

impressions on "if you are the one/非诚勿扰"

starring you ge/葛优 and qi shu/舒淇，if you are the one/非诚勿扰 is the latest new-year-greeting-movie by the famous director xiaogang feng/冯小刚:

although i got entirely different feedback from different people circles, here is the email i sent to my friends after i watched it.

so, my two cents:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my old gangsters,

i've watched it on tv. as i told kz on phone, although i don't think the whole movie has a very clear main thread, by which i mean the blind dating part and the hokkaido trip part do not have a reasonable correlation and even the idiosyncrasy is different from part to part, which makes me feel a little bit incoherence, i still think it is a successful feng's movie, at least commercially.

ok, here is my point, you can always find something familiar in this movie, such as restlessness in hangzhou and tranquility in hokkaido, like it just happens around you in the real life. i'm also very touched by the travel part in hokkaido, which makes me recall vividly my trip to yokohama and kamakura accompanied by jb and her lovely hubby.

attached please find one picture of this movie and 3 editions of the song Subaru by Shinji Tanimura, Teresa Teng and Cheng Lin, for our lost youth hood and faded memory.

happy new year

PS, i did not get any money, not even a penny from feng...

不是前言的开场白

元 日

王安石

爆竹声中一岁除，
春风送暖入屠苏。
千门万户瞳瞳日，
总把新桃换旧符。

when i was a little kiddo, new year was always something amazing. no school, no homework but slept late. got new clothes, yummy foods, and most importantly firecrackers. psychologically satisfied with the fact that i was one year older...

now, life is way better, but i no longer long for new year... soul getting numb? i don't know. kz calls me "gossip king", but i still classify myself as a narcissistic "quasi-literature youth（伪文青）". that's why i start this blog by which i hope i can thread the shells and pearls of my life together...
