The Director's Road of Airflow

"A Very Long Winter" reached 1000 million views in just one hour after the Tengfei video was launched.This 27-minute micro-movie has attracted attention from all sides.

Lu Ming opened the barrage to see the real-time comments from netizens.

The last time "Life and Death" he only read the comments of some Weibo netizens to understand everyone's views, reflect on the unnatural body language raised by some netizens, and strive to make progress in this performance.As for the insulting words of personal attacks, he just pretended not to see them, just brushed them over and it was over, and he didn't think much about them.

But this time he was very anxious, he wanted to understand the audience's views and feelings about this micro-movie as soon as possible.This is mainly because the role he played has changed. In "Life and Death", he was only in charge of performing an adapted version of a classic film and television drama. His mood at the time was mainly to prove himself, to prove that he had an attitude and a sense of mission as an actor. I want to change the image in the minds of the audience that there are no acting skills and no desire for advancement.

But this time it was different. This time, he told a story at his own pace, a story he really wanted to share with everyone.Lu Ming is very nervous now, because he has placed his sincerity in this story. When you show some very personal and sincere thoughts in front of others, you will always feel restless. You long to be understood. Worry about being misunderstood.

At the beginning of the barrage, some people were playing tricks, imitating Hu Yangyang's catchphrase: "Do you know how much my watch is?", and all kinds of "Do you know how much my XX is?"

As time went on, the tone changed. When Hu Yangyang's childhood experience was revealed little by little, the audience couldn't help but feel sad and aggrieved for him.A child who has not been treated carefully by his parents has been treated as a cash cow by his parents since he was 6 years old, and he was beaten up from time to time. It is understandable that his values ​​​​distorted when he was 17 years old. He needs to use luxury goods to maintain himself. Only with a little sense of superiority can he feel comfortable in front of his peers. He doesn't know how to get along with people at all.

Netizens who admitted that they also have eating disorders also appeared in the barrage, and some other people comforted them in the barrage.

Eating disorders have not received enough attention as a mental illness for a long time. Lu Minghui wants to make such a short film in such an acting competition variety show, hoping to use the popularity of the program group to help more people understand eating disorders , Face up to eating disorders, so that more patients can receive professional treatment as soon as possible, instead of getting up in the middle of the night alone and quietly going to the bathroom to induce vomiting.The mortality rate of anorexia is as high as 5%-15%. If not treated in time, some young lives may die as a result, and their relatives and friends will not know their true situation until they are terminally ill. Before that, they will all Thought it was just a simple "bad appetite".

In order to make the content of the microfilm as real as possible, Lu Ming also searched the Internet for many video records of anorexic patients recovering.After searching for information, he realized that anorexia is not just anorexia and poor appetite. The cause of many patients is that they are too strict with their body shape and always hope that they are in a perfect state, even if they are thin enough I still think I should be thinner.

Therefore, the most common patients with this disease are the models on the catwalk, especially the high-definition show. Models are often required to look like paper people, otherwise they will not be able to wear a size 0 fashion on the catwalk.Although France and other countries have issued relevant regulations under the supervision of human rights organizations in recent years, prohibiting fashion brands from hiring models who are too thin, the atmosphere of "relentless pursuit of a perfect body" hanging over the modeling industry has not dissipated, but has spread open.

Now that social media is so developed, young girls see all kinds of perfect bodies that are originally like this or after PS on the Internet every day, and they start to be kidnapped by this concept involuntarily, and start to examine their own bodies. Some girls are looking for short-term effective weight loss. As a result, extreme dieting and fasting methods are adopted. Over time, some unfortunate people get anorexia.

When describing his feelings, an anorexic patient mentioned that when he saw a food, what he thought of was not how it tasted, but how many calories it contained. He couldn't stop the calorie calculator in his mind from starting to operate.When he finally forced himself to eat a mouthful of high-calorie steak, it took him a long time to suppress the nausea and not spit out the meat.But that night, he couldn't sleep at all. He felt panicked at the thought of eating a whole steak. He couldn't restrain himself and started doing crunches on the bed. He did 50 crunches in a row before barely Feeling better, go back to bed.

The need for high-intensity physical exercise after eating is also a classic manifestation of anorexic patients.

In the movie, Lu Ming designed this shot. Hu Yangyang, who suppressed his nausea and ate a piece of cake, ran 9 laps on the school playground at 5 o'clock in the evening. No one noticed his abnormality. When he missed the evening self-study again.

Hu Yangyang thought about saving himself, but he couldn't save himself.Under Chen Yi's persuasion, Hu Yangyang finally entered the mental health center and received treatment.

The plot design of the microfilm is very beautiful. After watching it, netizen "Blue Carrot" left a message in the comment area: I saw in the movie that Populus euphratica finally got admitted to Nortel and embarked on Kangzhuang Avenue. I should be very happy, but I am not. There is no sense of relief.Life is too heavy. I remembered that once I lived in the school dormitory this semester, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. I heard someone retching. At that time, I thought it was someone who was drunk. A little girl is vomiting.If a friend who already has an eating disorder sees this reply and can muster up the courage to receive treatment, family and friends will understand you, and early treatment can still lead to early recovery.Hope everyone is well!

Lu Ming thinks he has succeeded if he can draw some people's attention to the mental illness of eating disorder.

He also read some film reviews that commented on this micro-movie from a professional perspective.

Lu Ming is a poetic director, but his works do not have the common problems of romantic film works: facial makeup of characters, strong sense of drama, lack of color of life, etc.Lu Ming still told a complete story in a down-to-earth manner. His poetic quality is reflected in his pursuit of an absolute aesthetic feeling and his romantic and casual camera changes.

If the reason why domestic directors are questioned because of their poetic qualities is that they are not down-to-earth, then Lu Ming may be a poet who is keen on writing metrical poems. He attaches great importance to the structure, clues, and foreshadowing of the story, and he likes to set the perspective of the story. Transformation, expressing the disorder and absurdity of life, he is different from the previous generations of directors in China, what he cares about is the alienation of individuals in modern society. Interpretation of society by the post-zero generation of the era.

Of course, all these evaluations are the evaluations made by film critics after Lu Ming made some achievements as a director later.

At this moment, the reviews Lu Ming saw for this micro-movie were mostly discussions about the content of the story, and occasionally about the use of the camera.Lu Ming's attempt this time did not attract the attention of academic directors. Some of them are not so concerned about Internet hotspots, but are researching what themes and styles of the jury of the three major European film festivals prefer this year. How to pull investment.

As a trafficker, Lu Ming's director's first film naturally received widespread attention on the forum.The chain of contempt for domestic entertainment is that movie fans are greater than TV drama fans than idols, and directors are another dimension that escapes this established rule.After watching this short film, Ai Cao started posting on the whole forum immediately, and Lu Ming's black fans were not willing to be lonely, and began to belittle this micro film in a rhythmic manner.

The angle of Ai Cao's praise is also somewhat inexplicable. The theme of many Ai Cao's posts on the forum is "It's so touching, I cried after watching it." , Traffic fan-like control reviews and Amway caliber are the data, box office, ratings, endorsement sales, fashion resources, and rarely involve director skills.Even when praising idol's acting skills, many fans will choose "crying scene" as an example of explosive plots, as if they cry very sadly, and being able to move the audience to cry is a proof of their strength.

But wormwood is not the most exaggerated, and Lu Ming's black fan's angle of entry is even better.A high-rise in the Doubanhua group received more than 5000 replies in an hour. The title was "Is Lu Ming making this kind of movie with a dark mind?" In the post, there was a passionate battle between wormwood and black fans, discussing whether this is embarrassing or not , Occasionally, a few passers-by who wanted to seriously discuss the plot and refute the title were also dissuaded by the fan-black war atmosphere in the building, leaving only fans and black fans to come and go and abuse each other.

Objectively speaking, the improvement of Lu Ming's acting skills in the short film is still very obvious, but because the word "Lu Ming" is written in the column of the micro-movie director, how Lu Ming's acting skills have become a secondary issue, everyone They talked about the level of director Lu Ming.

In the minds of fans, the director is a higher existence in the chain of contempt in the entertainment industry than the big names in movies.

Lu Ming's black fans are obsessed with criticizing him as a third-rate director like so-and-so. It is a mediocre work to win some attention and tears by sensationalism.And Ai Cao made this micro-movie look like Quentin, and Lu Ming is the rising star of Chinese movies.

Lu Ming sat on the sofa in the living room and rubbed his temples. He began to think about whether he would also battle with so-called opponents online for his favorite sci-fi works or games when he was adolescence.He has been a trafficker for many years, and he still can't figure out why some fans and black fans are so sincere.He is very grateful to his fans for giving him the opportunity to stand on a bigger stage. Because of the support of these strangers, he has traffic, the right to speak and the right to choose. Just like the vows I made myself, I will achieve financial independence as soon as possible without relying on my parents.But he also sees some fans personally attacking others on the Internet because of themselves, or being personally attacked.

He felt that he should do something, and felt that in his position, there was nothing he could do.

Picking up the wine glass in front of him, Lu Ming took a sip of Baileys. He doesn't hold a lot of alcohol, and it's not easy to end up drunk at home alone, so he can only drink this low-alcohol liqueur.

At this moment, he received a new message from Qiao Siyu.

"Have you seen Dr. Li this month? How is your situation now? Does memory loss affect your mental health? Do you still need regular return visits for psychological counseling?"
