There is a technical term in film theory--- montage.
Many well-known film directors and theorists have classified and defined this word differently, and the most general explanation is that when the lenses of different time and space are spliced together, they often produce a specific meaning that the individual shots do not have when they exist separately. This is a very common editing technique in movies, narrating the plot through a limited lens, portraying the characters---
In station B, there is such a video type, up the main through the video or audio clips, with a very high frequency of repetitive pictures or sounds combined into a rhythm with sound and picture synchronization.
The repeated appearance of sound and painting often achieves a brainwashing effect, full of a strong sense of rhythm. Since the beginning of the establishment of the station, this kind of video has accompanied the B station, after ten years of ups and downs, it is still one of the most popular areas of the B station, the name of this area is called --- ghost animal area
By definition, ghost animals are also a kind of montage, but the traditional sense of montage pays attention to logic, has coherence, and the purpose is to tell a story; while ghost animals mostly repeat a shot just to achieve the purpose of funny and brainwashing, which is out of the category of logic.
At present, most of the ghost animal videos of Station B are mainly based on this nonsense, strong rhythm video, and many users are deeply attracted by this nature.
However, there will be exceptions to everything, there is a up master who is not going the usual way, playing ghost animals into film art, and even on August 23, he was named by the B site, which is the official stamp of "the first person in the art of the ghost animal area"---
The main name of the up is @Lowing Atkinson, and in his videos, you can not only see the unique tuning, repetition, and funny of ghost animals, but also feel the complete narrative, buried foreshadowing and unintentional emotions of a movie.

In the "Forbidden Magic" series, there is a character named "Shirai Kuroko", her voice is magical, the tone is funny, and her behavior is perverted, and she is often used as the material for ghost animals by the up masters, and is active in various ghost animal videos with a crazy image.
In the "treasure of the town station" "Dangerous Kuroko" carried in the early days of Station B, such an image is particularly prominent---
However, Lowen is not satisfied with this image, because although Kuroko often makes some out-of-the-ordinary behaviors in the plot, this is also based on her feelings for "Gun Sister" Misaka Mikoto.
So he had a thought: to create the image of a not-so-crazy sunspot.
On a whim, he made his first video "Confession of Kuroko Shirai" in three days, and uploaded the video on July 14, 2017, starting his career as a master---
In this video, there is no rhythmic music, no repetitive sound and picture fragments, only ethereal music and emotional lines, and the first sense is a normal animated MAD---
Through interpolation, Lowe first edited Kuroko's views on Mikoto in different scenes and time periods to pave the way for the subsequent expression of emotions---
In the smooth music, the video does not have the shadow of the "ghost animal", just when the audience thought that the video would continue to play smoothly, the turn suddenly appeared, kuroko's "true appearance" was revealed, showing his ghost animal side of the Meiqin idiot --
However, this ghost animal did not last long, and the video soon entered the next stage: the distance between the tears and the gun sister was too close, Miko began to develop feelings for Jojo, Kuroko mistakenly thought that Miko had forgotten the anniversary of cohabitation, and the frequent setbacks in conveying feelings made Kuroko disheartened---
Finally, there is a clip in the anime where Kuroko helps Mikoto, Mikoto tells Kuroko about her heart, and the two finally have a heart-to-heart relationship.
Several times the discount caught the audience off guard: "It turns out that this video is not only a ghost animal, but also a little tearful to watch" ---
As Lowe's first video, we can clearly feel that he is not skilled in editing technology, with broken sound quality and more noise.
However, the editing technique of "first suppressing and then rising" still laid the foundation for many of his subsequent works, and this video that broke the inherent image of Sunspots was recognized and supported by many B station users, and also allowed Lowe to gain his first fans---
With the support of fans, Lowe soon began to create his second video, this time he will officially enter the ranks of ghost animals.
This time, the material is the old stars of the ghost animal area Zhuge Liang and Wang Situ, this time, Lowe also does not take the usual path of the ghost animal area, he shapes the two into the image of the actor of the historical figure, telling the hardships of ordinary actors who are not known to the audience---
At the beginning of the video, Wang Situ is watching a video of himself and Zhuge Liang in the ghost animal area of Station B; at this time, Zhuge Liang's battle book came. When Wang Situ saw the situation, he immediately said that he would fight tomorrow and would perform this last play with Zhuge Liang---
On the battlefield the next day, Lo Wen changed the lines of Wang Situ's debate with Zhuge Liang in the original clip, but instead conveyed another layer of meaning by repairing the sound and piecing the audio.
In the dialogue, Wang Situ recounted that he had been bowing down for more than twenty years as a role, but unfortunately he could not defeat the passage of time, although the ambition of the past is still there, but the two sideburns have long been white, it is difficult to have another achievement in the show business circle---
Then, Wang Situ not only complained that he was old and might be eliminated by the times, but also felt that the role he had worked so hard to play was actually made into ghost animal material, so he asked Zhuge Liang whether this should be. At this time, Lowe did not forget to blacken a wave of ---
Seeing the situation, Zhuge Liang replied that "the pattern is small", he is also an actor, and Wang Situ has gone through ups and downs, and he also knows the hardships of the road of interpretation, but how can people who really love the acting career care about success and fame?
And no matter when and where, there will always be people who speak harshly to others, do not violate the original intention of deduction because of these villains---
Today's film and television circles are full of flowers, and ghost animals are also an art, where is the difference between high and low. Moreover, the actor is originally aimed at pleasing the audience, and being a ghost animal star does not violate the original intention of the actor---
However, Situ is still unwilling, thinking that today's circle is already the world of young people, and their old drama bones are not cared about. Looking at the show business circle that is only alone, Wang Situ said that he felt lonely. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang said, since this is the case, then I will accompany you to the end of this road of ghosts and animals---
The poetic rhyming words touched many viewers, and more and more people began to pay attention to the stories behind these actors.
In fact, as early as 2009, Dong Ji, who played Wang Situ, has passed away, and many people think that using the deceased actor as a spoof material for ghost animals is disrespectful to him, so for a long time, there is a great controversy over the ghost animal videos of Wang Situ and Zhuge Kongming---
It wasn't until Lowe's video appeared that people discovered that ghost animals were not a prank or disrespectful to the actors, but rather a tool to increase their popularity.
In the comment area of the video, some netizens said that they came into contact with the old version of the Three Kingdoms through these ghost animal videos, and also learned about the deep image of the characters and the superb acting skills of the actors. It can be said that Lowe's ghost animal video breaks many people's stereotypes of ghost animals that are funny and brainwashed---
Lo Wen, who got more encouragement from netizens, strengthened his confidence and formed his own editing style, so that the ghost animal not only repeated a sound and picture fragment, but integrated the plot into the ghost animal, narrated the plot, portrayed the characters, and created a new story---
As a professional ghost animal up master, the source of material is never limited to one genre, it can be taken from animation, movies, variety shows and even short videos.
And in the short video ranks there is such a up master, he is the second generation of returnees, the family is rich. In recent years, he has cooperated with director Xiao Ce to shoot a series of short videos "Zhu Once's Boring Life" with real-time hot spots---
Due to the humor and depth of the short video plot of the series, it has attracted the attention of netizens, and Lowe is one of them.
So he split the video and audio of the "Zhu Once's Boring Life" series and edited it into an unexpected "absurd drama": to have a dream in the world of the wasteland---
This video uses the opportunity of the second-rate "I" bumping into a rich man, inducing the second-rate child to think about the "if", imagining that if the "I" as a child made any different choices, it may just be a depressed life. Just when the second-rate son imagined that he would hold a Rolex in his hand and become a rich man, he woke up in a dream---
The second-rate man who woke up was actually a rich man, living a boring life, deeply bored "I" In order to break such a life, he confessed to the goddess who had refused his confession, and he did not expect to meet the rich man in his dream, but here he became a "second-rate son", so he recruited him into his company and made him find fun by making him ---
However, things spiral out of control, the status of the people around them begins to gradually surpass themselves, the wine and meat friends love career is happy, the "second-rate son" and "I" sit on an equal footing, and they can't get the favor of the goddess.
"I" went from a rich man to a loser, so I wondered if this layer of life is also a dream. As the coin spins and thinks, the answer is no longer known---
It turns out that this is not at all the boring life of the rich and the rich, it is just a person trapped in layer after layer of dreams, unable to distinguish which side is the reality and which side is the dream.
Lo Wen used Zhu Yidan's series of short videos to edit a condensed version of "Inception", and many people re-brushed it several times to find that in fact, many details have already foreshadowed the plot.
Through the splitting and combination of different lenses, the meaning that is not available when the lens exists alone is the performance of the montage technique---
At this point, the audience was amazed by Lowe's superb editing skills and story conception ability, after all, the ghost animal was cut into the art of the up master, he may be the first.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="152" >03</h1>
Montage editing, rhyming lines, and deep plots are the hallmarks of Lowe's videos, and it is never easy to edit a broken video into such a complete work.
According to himself, some videos he often has to be revised many times, and each time he will take the video to the audience who has not seen the ghost animal to watch first, and then modify it after they give their evaluation, in order to ensure that more viewers can understand their videos---
The spirit of excellence has made Lowen affirmed by many B station users, and now Lowen has 777,000 fans in B station---
When participating in the ghost animal competition "Yellow and Green Battle" held by Station B, Lowe won the award three times, of which the best record was "The Monologue of Pai Daxing".
In Lowe's eyes, Pai Daxing, a character who looks silly and stupid, is actually the most sober one in the play, and often says some philosophical and rational words---
He is not as greedy for money as the crab boss, nor as arrogant and arrogant as Brother Octopus, when SpongeBob is confused by outsiders to become a "normal person", only Pai Daxing is still insisting on being himself, continuing to be silly, and this self-persistence has also infected many people.
Nowadays, this video has been played 67.475 million times on station B, and it must occupy a place in the position of "treasure of the town station---
Since uploading the first video, Lowin's up master career has entered its fourth year, and he has still won the amazement of B station users with low-yield and high-quality videos.
In the personal profile of the B station user, he mentioned that he was learning to arrange music, but in the future, what kind of ghost animal art will this conscience up master give us?
