影片《凤凰》(第20届东京电影节开幕影片)采用了非常规的留银工艺①制作,且发行拷贝首次在国内制作。2006年夏末,摄影师孟晓清就邀我观看他为《凤凰》做的试片及第一批样片。在国内尚无完备制作条件的情况下,他为《凤凰》选择了留银工艺。在此工艺实施过程中,摄影师扮演的角色举足轻重。 The film “Phoenix” (the opening ceremony of the 20th Tokyo Film Festival) adopts an unconventional technique of making silver, and the first issue of the film is made domestically. In the late summer of 2006, the photographer Meng Xiaoqing invited me to watch the first test sample and the first batch of samples he made for the “Phoenix.” In the absence of complete production conditions in the country, he chose to stay for the “Phoenix” silver process. In this process of implementation, the role of the photographer plays a decisive role.
