Back to the Republic of China as a director

The news of the film festival announced by Ji Shuangyu has undoubtedly aroused a wave of attention and discussion. The public is wondering what the event will be like. If it is as reported, it will be a good thing to promote the development of Chinese films.

Of course, everyone is more concerned about Ji Shuangyu's new works.

The news has spread that Ji Shuangyu bought color film, and the next movie will be made into a color film.

Although it is not imaginable at present, in view of the surprises that sound films bring to everyone, Chinese audiences already feel that it is okay to raise their expectations!

I just don't know... what kind of film will he make this time?

The attention of the whole people has begun again, and the reporters are also "fighting hard", ready to inquire about the progress of the film in all aspects.

After staying in Shanghai for a few days, Ji Shuangyu returned to Beijing with expensive color film and started to build a crew under the eyes of everyone.

He will use a lot of special effects in this new sci-fi film. In this regard, his students are all novices, and he himself has never practiced this kind of old-fashioned... oh, at this time, it should be called high-tech. technology.

The principle is not difficult, but you have to experiment over and over again to get the effect you want, so the preparation time is longer.

Ji Shuangyu often rests on the set, and as a result, Zhou Siyin and Zhou Siyin get together less often and leave more. Zhou Siyin can only visit often.For example, today, Ji Feifei was holding hands by Zhou Siyin, and they walked to the set together.

Zhou Siyin couldn't see Ji Shuangyu, nor could his younger siblings, so Zhou Siyin would sometimes take the children to visit the class.

Ji Feifei finished her school activities today and left school early, so Zhou Siyin picked her up.

Ji Feifei was still wearing a skirt with the white five of the hedgehog printed on it, which was newly launched by the Peripheral Group of the Film Department of Kunlun Bookstore, and it has not yet been officially put on the shelves.

Because the peripheral products produced before were very popular with readers, the peripheral group simply made persistent efforts and produced some clothing peripherals. Anyway, other members of the Zhou family are also engaged in related industries, so it is very convenient to connect.

Even though the box office attendance has been declining day by day, the sales around here have been good, and it is really a long-term business. After many years, many people in Huaxia recalled that there were indeed more or less dolls with the Kunlun logo in their childhood.

And Ji Feifei, as the first one in the capital to wear a peripheral skirt, is envied at school today... She is not transparent at school, everyone can't wait to pull her at any time, so that she, the director's sister, can comment, who imitated Bai Five is similar.

"Brother Baoduo, what exactly is a science fiction film?" Ji Feifei knew that her brother was filming a new subject, but this genre was so new that she didn't quite understand it.

"You have taken science classes, right? It's a fantasy film that includes science and technology. What your brother filmed is a story hundreds of years later, imagining what the world was like at that time." Zhou Siyin explained.

The world hundreds of years later?Ji Feifei could only think about whether everyone could watch movies at home at that time.

"Tell me, is it scary..." Ji Feifei said worriedly. She was not allowed to come to the set during the "Ancient Capital".

Zhou Siyin: "Of course it's not scary, it's all science!"

Ji Feifei solemnly let out a sigh of relief, "That's good!"

To be honest, Zhou Siyin also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, get out of the thriller...

While talking, the two had already arrived. Seeing Ji Shuangyu squatting on the ground with his back to them and playing with the camera, he stepped forward briskly and patted Ji Shuangyu on the shoulder.

With this back view, he can easily recognize it.

When Ji Shuangyu turned her head, she revealed an indigo blue face with two scales on her cheeks, two ears protruding straight out, and two small fangs protruding from her lips. The cold light shone. smile.

Zhou Siyin: "!!"

It took Zhou Siyin his entire life to control himself from roaring, what kind of monster is this! !Didn't you say it came from a parallel universe? !He accepted it all!

Hehehehehehe, seeing Zhou Siyin's appearance, Ji Shuangyu smiled complacently, and her real little fangs became more obvious.

Ji Feifei raised her head and saw that her pupils were also shaking: "A monster!!"

"Damn it!!" Ji Shuangyu lowered her head and found that there was another person, and stepped back three steps, "The sixth son is here too! Don't make any noise suddenly!!"

Ji Feifei was frightened again: "It's my brother!!"

For a while, the studio was filled with the shouts of the two brothers and sisters.

Everyone: "..."

Zhou Siyin was shocked for a while: "What the hell is this?"

"Aliens, it's just makeup skills." Ji Shuangyu touched his big ears.

——Interstellar sci-fi, how could there be no aliens, Ji Shuangyu made a cameo by herself, using special effects makeup, and made an alien face.However, this technology has not been used yet.

In Zhou Siyin's eyes, it is no different from a monster. He reckoned that Zhou Siyin should be full of thoughts of "Why do science fiction movies scare people"?

Thanks to Zhou Siyin's recent understanding of science, he can also understand alien life, although he never imagined that Ji Shuangyu would design aliens into such a monster-like appearance.

This Ji Feifei didn't understand: "Who are aliens?"

Zhou Siyin was still talking about the aliens, they were collaged according to the "Shan Hai Jing", they were obviously monsters.

"Did you not learn in class? The planet we live in is the earth. There are many, many planets in the universe, and some of them are similar to the earth. In the future, when our space technology develops, we may be able to reach other planets like the earth." On a planet like ours, there may be life with the same intelligence as us, but the appearance may be different. There is a big difference in appearance between us and foreigners. Just imagine alien life, what kind of appearance does it have? For example, "I 'Maybe most of the living planet is ocean..." Ji Shuangyu held Ji Feifei and explained, he really made the setting seriously, why aliens would evolve into this way.

Foreign academic books on evolution were translated and introduced by Secretary Kunlun, so Zhou Siyin also knew about it. After listening to him, I felt convinced that they were not monsters, but aliens who had evolved into this form...

Through the tip of the iceberg, Zhou Siyin could also detect that Ji Shuangyu's setting contained many bold fantasies. Thinking about Ji Shuangyu's origin, he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Is this true? Humans can really go to Are there aliens that look like fish on the alien planet?"

Ji Shuangyu also replied in a low voice: "When I came here, the aliens hadn't been contacted yet. I don't know what they look like, but it is true that I can go to alien planets. Not only can I go, but we also need to grow vegetables in alien planets."

Zhou Siyin: "..."

He was stunned, he didn't expect that his imagination of the future would catch up with the earth.

But if you think about it carefully, it's very possible, especially with the character of the Chinese...

China is lively, and there are many stories on the other side of the ocean.

The National Academy of Drama where Victor works, the team led by Yu Jianqing and Jin Que have arrived here for five days after a two-month voyage. They also decorated the school theater stage two days ago and conducted a rehearsal. Two shows.

Whether it's Chunlei Drama Club's "Beautiful Beauty", which brought realism to a new level, or several Chinese freehand operas with excellent sensuality brought by Jinque, they are all greatly welcomed by teachers and students of the school.

Because of good translation, it also makes it easier for them to understand.And for these professionals, it's just a matter of looking.

Even if the genres are different, they may not all value the inspiration brought by freehand brushwork as much as Victor, but no one can deny the beauty of Chinese poetry, which is concise but not simple, like a fresh wind, which makes people immerse themselves in it.

The local theater professional magazine even made a large report and comment on their exchange visit, which is a good start. This visit should have nothing to say in terms of word of mouth.

The only thing that makes Yu Jianqing and Jinque a little regretful is that although the school performances also sell tickets to the outside world, Victor also helped to put up posters, advertising that the Huaxia Theater Troupe will come here, but there are still not many citizens who come to see them, they are just a little bored and curious people.

One school is far away from the city, and the publicity has not covered it.The second is that the citizens don't know much about the Huaxia Theater Troupe, so it is difficult to generate interest.

Jinque and Yu Jianqing always felt a little regretful. Before coming here, they only thought that word of mouth is enough. Now that they are recognized in the professional field, they hope that more people will see it.

Everyone gathered together to think, if Principal Ji was here, what kind of publicity method would he use?

"Or, let's ask Victor's colleagues to write a few comments and then advertise in the newspaper?" Yu Jianqing said.

"How much does it cost, let's try it." Just do it, the travel expenses you brought are enough anyway, and take out some contact channels called Yu Jianqing to find Victor.

After Yu Jianqing left, Jinque began to practice kung fu by himself, "I don't know how the release of "Ancient Capital" is going..."

The copy of "Strange Tales of Things in the Ancient Capital" should have arrived in Oxi at about the same time, but the school is a little far from the city, and they live in the school, so they don't know the release status.

……

Paris, New York, Berlin... Cinemas in many overseas cities that belong to Baker Films or they hold shares have put up new posters. The oriental scenery on the posters, as well as exaggerated promotional words, make passers-by look at them curiously.

"A strange film from the East, the popularity of overseas sales has broken all records."

"With it, the sound film won! A huge shock of film shooting technology!"

"Revealing the oriental mysterious religious illusion, exciting and thrilling directly hits the hearts of the people."

"Reject entry to those with weak hearts!"

"..."

This is the first time that Baker Films, and even the Oxi film industry, have promoted a commercial film from China in such a serious manner—obviously, from the point of view of publicity, this is a commercial film.

They provided it with all the promotional treatment of local films, not only with posters, newspaper advertisements, but even invited some critics, well-known directors, and actors to watch the premiere, hoping that they could say a few words for the film.

Quite a few people accepted the invitation, for the sake of the production company.Anyway, it’s not bad to have an occasion to get together and chat, where to play is not to play.

As for the commercials from Baker Films... just look at it, no one can boast more than the commercials of the film company.

Everyone in the industry knows that movie advertisements can have nothing to do with the feature film!

At the invitation of the authoritative film magazine "The Sound of Film", they also sent one of their reporters, Mo Lin, to watch the premiere, and allocated a page the size of a tofu block to publish film reviews.

Before going to the cinema, Mo Lin sighed to his colleagues: "How much I want to be sent to watch Anatole's new film. I heard that he has used a new technology in his new film. As for this film... the director, Ji Shuangyu?"

He pronounced these three words inaccurately, "Strange directors from strange continents, oh my god, did they make any deal with Baker Films? Aren't Chinese films generally only circulated in the Far East?"

Colleagues all know Mo Lin's love for art films, so they can only persuade him with a smile, "Go, for the friendship of Baker Films."

Mo Lin didn't even bring a notebook, so he went to the theater. He came late, and he also avoided the trouble of greeting with the same industry insiders. He sat in the corner, and Mo Lin had already started to conceive a movie review without many people. word……

however……

1 minutes.

Maureen only remained calm for a minute.

Although he didn't know the Chinese capital on the screen and couldn't understand the language, but when the screen was lit up, the ambient sound in the film made him feel like he was in it.

Maureen couldn't help but leaned forward, and began to touch his pen.

Then he couldn't help cursing in a low voice, because of contempt, he carried a pen with him, but he didn't bring a notebook!

With the emergence of technical images such as ambient sound and jump cuts, the noise in the theater has become smaller and smaller, and the directors, actors and other people in the film industry who were present all unconsciously stopped talking.

There is a consensus in the film industry that art films exploring new technologies may not be so commercial.As for commercial films, the box office is higher, but the technology is behind, and the new technologies explored by those art films are used later.It can be counted as everyone has a division of labor.

Therefore, in countries like Mo Lin's, although art films are not very popular, there is strong support in the industry.

So, strange things have happened. Could it be the differences caused by different national cultures?Where did we not pay attention, when did such a drastic change occur?

——In this commercial film from China, strongly recommended by Baker Films for some reason, there is a shooting technique that makes the directors shudder!

On the screen, the sound of Peking opera is still flowing, and everyone can't understand it, but they can accept that it is conveying metaphors in the local theater way.

On the one hand, there is the weird and terrifying behavior of the real murderer behind the scenes, and on the other hand, there is a beautiful and lyrical opera. The opposition of sound and picture made the audience feel unprecedentedly shocked.

"Unbelievable..." Mo Lin couldn't take it anymore, he took off his white shirt and wrote notes on it.
