Back to the Republic of China as a director

Many fans of Ji Shuangyu like Qi Haoran were still a little worried, fearing that the media would ignite the fire everywhere, and the idol's movie would be ridiculed.Who would have thought...they would find that they could brag about it not too long after it was released.

In the past, scientists mostly pointed out mistakes and omissions in movies with a smile, but this time, the world has discovered that even though there are disputes, there are no logical errors in "Through the Looking Glass", and even has a unique interpretation direction for certain scientific theories!

This has even inspired many scholars to devote themselves to their work.

Even if we don't know the result for the time being, it is enough to make people feel that this is a masterpiece of romance and rigor.

The media reported it with great joy, and the public was also dumbfounded. Is it okay?

After being surprised, I seemed to be a little proud again. I used to criticize the movies we watched as illogical, but now it’s okay. Come on, let’s watch it together.

All of a sudden, the whole people paid attention to science, cared about their progress...even competition.

[The theory in "Mirror Flowers and Water Moon" inspired scientists, and many laboratories announced investment in laser research! 】

[Physicists were interviewed and claimed that watching movies is popular in the academic world recently! 】

[University professors charter to watch "Flowers in the Mirror and Water Moon" during working hours, and the school claims to have reimbursed them]

[Major laboratories compete to produce "movie peripherals"?Let's see who can make the copier first! 】

[Huaxia Central Research Institute vows to concentrate on conquering copiers]

[Counting from "Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water", those inventions influenced by literary works. 】

As the best copier among many movie props, under the research of the Central Research Institute, it soon made great progress.

It is almost certain that the "prophecy" in the movie will come true, and the world's first photocopier will indeed be born from the Huaxia Central Research Institute.

After all, the technology it uses is actually not too difficult at this time, and Ji Shuangyu clarified the general idea again.Huaxia people have never been afraid of hard work. Inspired by the "prophecy", they will figure it out if they work harder.

This news made the people even more excited, and it also extended the release period of "Flowers in the Mirror and Water in the Water".The media all over the world have joked that by then, everyone will have another peripheral to buy.

——When Huaxia established its first copier brand, it indeed named it "Xiaoshen Brand" after obtaining the authorization of Ji Shuangyu.

The copier is just the beginning of the magical records created by "Flowers in the Mirror and Water in the Water".

To a certain extent, science fiction movies will reflect the level of science and technology at that time and the scientific literacy of the people, but conversely, technology can also be influenced by literary and artistic works!

Many years later, when tablet computers, sweeping robots and other inventions came into being, almost without exception, they adopted the shapes in "Flowers in the Mirror and Water in the Water".

Not only because such shapes are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also because they found that these designs really meet the needs of use, which shows the meticulous production of movie props.

What is even more talked about by later generations is that a few years later, when people replayed "Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water" a few times later, they found a huge easter egg:

The team that successfully developed the world's first laser came from the Huaxia Central Research Institute. It turned out that one of the scholars participated in "Mirror Flowers and Water Moon" when he was studying. lens!

The public said it was interesting. In this sci-fi work, scientists had the first intersection with the creations they invented in the future.

When this scholar was interviewed, he also talked about it with relish, talking about how he foolishly argued with his classmates about the possibility of parallel universes in school, and was particularly worried about whether we could develop the copier first.

He recalled and said with a smile: "At that time, I really held my breath. I think that director Ji Shuangyu can use his imagination to inspire the world. In his movies, he 'boasted' for our institute." , Later, Director Ji heard about our situation and donated money to the research institute. Then why are we ashamed not to work hard? When our research is deadlocked, we like to watch "Flowers in the Mirror" again..."

This news is talked about by people all over the world, and it has become something that filmmakers can't help but be proud of, and it has been boiled into bowl after bowl of chicken soup.

This bowl of chicken soup is genuine. No one can deny the positive impact of "Flowers in the Mirror" on many scientific researches.

Its director Ji Shuangyu also donated part of the high box office revenue to the Central Research Institute. Therefore, this movie directly or indirectly affected the birth of many technologies, and also affected the career choices of many people.

In addition to the classic Xiaoshen copier, many related inventions in the future will be directly named after the original names in the movie, or indirectly pay tribute to Ji Shuangyu and his works.

For example, the world's first artificial intelligence is also named "Yu".

Although Ji Shuangyu is not a member of the scientific community, he has become a figure who will be mentioned and respected by many scholars in the future.

……

"Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water" created a release record that lasted ten years, until it was broken again by Ji Shuangyu's own work.

In the next few decades, it will be re-screened countless times, and it is also the most remake of Ji Shuangyu's works. It has derived and inspired countless themes, and has influenced more than one generation.

It is considered to be a movie that is rewatched every five years and still has new surprises.

You will discover details that were previously incomprehensible, but now seem to be understood.

When you are young, you may think that laser is the magic of sword fairies. When you grow up, you may already be engaged in laser-related industries.

Including the costumes in the film, it also attracted everyone's attention as always.

At the beginning, the gold bird's black lotus pleats became a hot item in the capital, and now the improved future clothing in "Mirror Flowers and Water Moon" is also the same.

Almost all the fashion magazines from various countries planned relevant topics immediately afterward, and the elements in them were adopted by many fashion designers. The sense of technology and metallic colors became the most popular this year.

The popular elements in the past usually started to become popular in Europe, and countries followed suit.

This time, due to its proximity to the waterfront, it was the fashion industry in Shanghai that seized the opportunity. It not only invited actors to appear on the cover of magazines, but also the first brand and Kunlun Bookstore to design peripheral products and sell them to various countries.

And because Ji Shuangyu's family has gourd babies, they have always attached great importance to children's accessories. There is no doubt that Ji Leizong and Ji Feifei who are in school are still the first to wear peripheral clothing.

The Yuling Academy in the film was filmed in Hua Opera, and the school uniform was designed, which has a sense of modernity without losing traditional elements.The students of Huaxi Opera jointly applied and asked to change the logo of the costumes directly, so that they could be used as school uniforms.

After Ji Shuangyu agreed, it also directly led to more tourists going to Huaxi to take pictures...not only to take pictures, but also to ask passers-by in school uniforms to take pictures with them.

Of course, not everyone who wears Chinese opera school uniforms is a student of Chinese opera, or they may be pure fans of "Flowers in the Mirror and Water in the Water"...

Their enthusiasm has not diminished for many years, writing fan, using peripherals, and even practicing science.

In the next day, after the advent of copiers, movie fans from all over the world united and donated a sculpture with the theme of "Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water". On the base was written a line of words "Love the Eternal Age, Dream the Future, Love the Present". constant.

The Huaxia Film Festival is coming soon, and due to the worldwide hits of "Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water", people are paying more attention to this event that will be held in the far east.

Its trophy shape, competition unit name and other details have been discussed countless times.

The film department of Kunlun Book Company also set up a project team under Ji Shuangyu's suggestion to shoot a documentary for the first China Film Festival.

The director Li Mu hired by the film department is in charge of the documentary.

Speaking of Li Mu, he also came from a wealthy family and has always loved art creation. When he was studying abroad, he studied in Oxi Film School. After returning to China, he planned to apply the latest technology in movies and bring it to the people of the motherland.

As a result, as soon as I came back and was hired, I discovered that the people of the motherland already possessed the latest technology beyond overseas...!

But later, he was also arranged by his unit to study in Chinese opera, so now Li Mu also calls Ji Shuangyu Principal Ji.

"Principal, is this the trophy for our highest award, the Nuwa Cup?"

The trophy of the Huaxia Film Festival is named the Nuwa Cup, which means the creation of the world and man.

If you believe that every movie is creating a real world, then the staff behind the scenes are undoubtedly the Nuwa who belong to this world.

This trophy was also designed by Ji Shuangyu, and Jiang Sihai made a prototype, a golden image of a goddess.

"Yes, in order to prevent special circumstances, we have done more." Ji Shuangyu introduced to Li Mu, indicating that the photographer can take a close-up of the trophy.

The photographer just took a picture for two seconds, and found that Ji Shuangyu was staring at him, and immediately felt a chill down his back!

He quickly thought about what he did not do well enough, or even made a mistake, so he quickly adjusted the angle.

This time peeping at Ji Shuangyu again, the principal already showed a satisfied smile.

Photographer: How risky! !

He has also attended classes in Chinese opera, and carrying the camera in front of Ji Shuangyu is so stressful!Just like now, Principal Ji gave him a look, and he was about to break out in a cold sweat, trembling, afraid that the picture would not be good enough.

Ji Shuangyu told Li Mu about the notarization, vote counting and other processes at that time, and that some films will premiere at this film festival.

This is not his mandatory requirement, but a considerable number of filmmakers value the high attention of this event and decide to premiere here.Moreover, because of the traffic, overseas participating films have not premiered in China, at least.

For the Chinese audience, this is also a feast.

At this time, Zhou Siyin also came, holding a row of four gourd babies by his hand, and said hello to them.

The camera also took a shot of Zhou Siyin, and this clip was later included in the documentary. After all, everyone knows that Zhou Siyin is the number one sponsor.

After a few more years, everyone will suddenly realize what the detail of Zhou Siyin holding Ji Shuangyu's younger siblings really means...

Li Mu asked: "Principal Ji, I have another question. It may be off topic, but everyone is very concerned. You said that you will not consider shooting a sequel to "Flowers in the Mirror" for the time being, so what will be the next work?"

Ji Shuangyu thought for a while, and said: "From "The Strange Talk of the Ancient Capital Town", I considered the market and the unit, and I created "Flowers in the Mirror, Water and Moon" for myself..."

When he said this, Li Mu asked a question: "For yourself? Everyone says that you are here to improve the scientific literacy of the people, as well as China's film special effects technology."

It is indeed one of the original intentions, but...

Ji Shuangyu and Zhou Siyin only exchanged knowing eyes, and said around the corner: "Of course this is also the purpose. I hope to do my best to bring something to everyone. Every film contains what the director wants to say at the moment. I may still focus on my surroundings and create for the people I love.”

Li Mu nodded vigorously.

Principal Ji is still so young, he is in the most productive period of artists, and he can even rise.Now some critics have said that if there is no accident, the box office will be dominated by Ji Shuangyu for at least ten years in the future!

at the same time.

All over the world, those directors who have promised to participate have already set off from their respective countries and cities.

Most of these directors took a boat, first arrived in Shanghai, and then went to the capital from here - the Huaxia Film Festival was held in the capital.

But because Shanghai is the film production center of China, everyone will still stay in Shanghai for a few days first, accept the entertainment from the production company, take a rest, and take a tour.

These people included director Anatole, who came with his new work and a desire to communicate.

After arriving in Shanghai, he arranged itineraries for himself to watch theaters.Because Jinque did not tour to his city, he only saw reports, and he had longed for Chinese opera for a long time.

There are many other colleagues, from directors to photographers, screenwriters, and actors. After they get together, they discuss, or else, let's go to the movies.

Originally, everyone was a filmmaker, and this was what they were most concerned about.

There are still too few Chinese movies that they can see overseas. Ji Shuangyu confused everyone, thinking that he had never understood Chinese movies.

So these people went to the street to find a movie to watch. Before they even got to the cinema, they first saw an open-air movie on the street and stopped to watch it with great interest.

They didn't know that the government released it for free, and they were newsreels, educational films and the like.

Although it is for educational purposes, the government also accepts advertisements, which can offset some expenses.So, watch a few commercials before getting a free movie.

The current Chinese screen advertisements are quite different from those a few years ago. They have long since gotten rid of static or lengthy and boring commercials.

How much influence did Hanxing Pen's advertisement have on Huaxia's advertisement, and now many students from Shanghai Film and Huaxi are working outside, looking for their own bullies, and they all choose to make short advertisements for people.

The shooting time of this thing is short, but it is quite profitable, and it is a good opportunity to practice.

They were greatly inspired by Ji Shuangyu, and earlier, coupled with their own performance, led to a blowout of excellent advertisements in Huaxia Cinemas.

Most of these advertisements are broadcast locally, and some will go to places such as Southeast Asia. That is to say, Western friends have basically never seen it...

In the evening, when Anatole came back from the Beijing Opera Garden, he bumped into his colleagues and asked casually, "What movies have you watched? Martial arts?"

These colleagues lifted up the big and small bags of goods in their hands, and said with a dazed expression: "Forget it, it seems to be a landscape film, only 10 minutes, mainly after watching five or six advertisements, and then we couldn't help but leave to go shopping It's..."

Anatole: "???"

……

To be honest, Ji Shuangyu thought that when he received these overseas pen pals, the first thing they said should be "how did you make your special effects".No, not only him, but the whole Chinese opera thinks so, anyway, it must be related to "Flowers in the Mirror and Water in the Water".

However, when Ji Shuangyu received many overseas colleagues who came to participate in the film festival at the Beijing station, the first sentence they said after holding Ji Shuangyu was:

"Have all of your excellent directors in Huaxia been run into the advertising industry by you?"

Ji Shuangyu: "???"

These people complained all over the place, and it cost me a lot of travel expenses to watch advertisements in Shanghai...

All of them are well-known overseas filmmakers, and their faces are full of depression as if they have been disowned. They are also wondering how Chinese films can develop under the leadership of Ji Shuangyu. Then they found that their commercials are so wonderful. diverse.

Only then did Ji Shuangyu come back to her senses, and she almost couldn't laugh out loud. That's right, these advertisements are still very new to them.

Well, it seems that we should be reminded to shoot some commercials for overseas products...

Ji Shuangyu, as the representative of the organizer, also entertained everyone to eat roast duck together, went to Changle Theater, booked the entire second floor, and watched the new play starring Jinque.

Anatole was always holding a camera in his hand, shooting wherever he went, and told Ji Shuangyu that he decided to shoot a short film during this period, hoping that Ji Shuangyu would introduce actors to him.

Ji Shuangyu said that's no problem, we have a lot of students in Chinese Opera.

Foreigners who came to China to shoot movies in the past mostly took some strange scenes, but now it is different. Whether it is Anatole or other directors who have inspired them, they have long been washed away by Ji Shuangyu's works.

Therefore, Ji Shuangyu also welcomes them to use their own lenses to shoot this ancient and beautiful country from a different angle from Ji Shuangyu.

It was so easy to meet, apart from entertaining them to watch operas, these overseas colleagues almost pulled Ji Shuangyu to chat all night, and there are many people who hit it off right away.

When the sky was about to turn white, there were not many people left who were awake, sleeping on the bed or sofa, and those who were too lazy to go back to the room and lie down on the table.

The lid of the tinplate pot collided with the steps of the early riser, making a tinkling sound, faintly coming from outside the door, quite similar to the faint camel bells on the street.

The vendors' carts rolled by, although there was no sound, but the scent of jasmine wafted by, presumably the florist also passed by.

Attracted by all kinds of noises, Anatole looked out the window in a daze, took a picture with his strength, and murmured: "We should sleep, the city is about to wake up."

"Friend, rest, I'm going back too." Ji Shuangyu chuckled and yawned.

"Good night, no, good morning..." Anatole climbed onto the bed. Although it was the first time we met today, Ji Shuangyu had been familiar with them for a long time. From his works and words, we could vaguely see this young man Self-confidence is only the appearance that people like.

Seeing that Ji Shuangyu and Zhou Siyin who had been waiting by the side had got up, and wanted to turn off the light for him, he had already pressed his hand on the switch.

Anatole said with emotion: "Sometimes I think, you are a person who also came from time travel, and you were born out of nowhere, completely unreasonable, and changed the rules of our storytelling...haha!"

The next second the lights were turned off, and Ji Shuangyu seemed to be laughing in the hazy morning light, so Anatole laughed too, thinking that his joke was very good, combining it with Ji Shuangyu's movie.

But he was so sleepy, he yawned: "I really need to sleep...my new old friend, thank you for bringing us so much excitement!"

Ji Shuangyu smiled helplessly, saying that Anatole's works were very imaginative, but even he joked about them.

He closed the door and saw Zhou Siyin staring at him, hesitant to speak.

Although she didn't speak, Ji Shuangyu seemed to know that Zhou Siyin cared about Anatole's words.I'm worried that when I hear this sentence, I feel sad and homesick again.

Ji Shuangyu breathed in the moist air in the morning, and the scent of jasmine was gone. He smiled at Zhou Siyin and counted them: "Actually, this place has brought me a lot... sweet water well, candied haws, and bells."

The author has something to say:

Sweet water well, candied haws, bells.Drinking, eating, and using (?? Ahem, one thing in common is that they are all sweet!
