China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 61 "Fatal Identity" Premiere (Part 1)

On the big screen, under the deep sky, the waves were glowing with waves, making a "swishing" sound. Suddenly, a vague and ethereal light emerged from the depths of the water, and then countless silvery white spots danced on the sea surface.

A bright full moon broke through the water and rose, casting a silvery glow in the reflection of the waves.

The moon rises higher and higher, with dark clouds covering the surroundings. Then the full moon emits a silvery white light as if it has been given life. The silver glow pours out from the full moon, and the words "Dream Factory" are written on it. With the silver glow,

The gushing full moon itself also turned into a waning moon, transforming into the letter D, and the "reamWorks" behind it appeared from light to dark.

Regarding the 20-second opening animation immediately following the title of Fantasy World, most people in the theater had expressions of curiosity and confusion on their faces, and some people were whispering among themselves. It was obvious that this extremely unfamiliar yet beautifully effective title

It has left a deep impression on the audience.

Chen Jingxing took a deep breath. Although the short 20-second title sequence was expensive, it was definitely worth it. He believed that in a few years, the DreamWorks title sequence would become another classic memory for Chinese movie audiences.

After the animation, a recording pen appeared on the screen, flashing red light spots, and a conversation between a woman and a man sounded.

At the same time, a text introduction also appeared on the screen, starring: Luo Chen, Bao Shengming, Cai Xiuqing... Photography: Zheng Fei, director: Chen Jingxing.

Facing the calm questions from the female voice, the answers from the male voice were either innocent, pitiful, angry or hysterical, accompanied by weird stick figures and montages of medical records. The audience roughly guessed that this seemed to happen between a psychiatrist and someone suffering from some kind of mental illness.

conversations between patients.

The owner of the male voice seems to have had a miserable childhood. His mother worked in a nightclub profession and often abused him.

The psychiatrist listened to the conversation on the recorder repeatedly and wrote on the paper, "Split personality is the source of evil."

"Oh? You revealed the title so quickly?" Sha Dan, a famous film critic who was invited to watch the premiere, was a little surprised. He is the film curator of the China Film Archive. Although the specific content of the film was kept secret during the promotion,

It's quite strict, but it still reveals some details. For example, the director's last movie "Comet" used physics knowledge as the theme to develop the plot, and "Fatal Identity" also involved psychological knowledge.

And the camera angle is very interesting. At this time, the camera is looking at the murder scene from an overhead angle, as if someone is peeping on the roof.

It’s not that Feng Xiaogang has never seen this kind of interesting and smooth camera transition. He can also shoot it himself. It’s not a sophisticated skill, but it reflects the director’s mature film shooting technology, and this is what surprised him.

place.

Realizing this, Feng Xiaogang, as a great director who has been in the film industry for many years, felt an inexplicable complex emotion in his heart at this time, just like when the front wave was still hitting the rocks in high spirits, he caught a glimpse of a back wave that was unimaginable.

Rushing towards the coast at a high speed.

It turned out that this was a family of three who were on the road. Their tire blew out because a high-heeled shoe ran over them. When the couple went out to change the tire, they encountered a car accident and the wife was hit to death.

Five members of a family were brutally wiped out.

Combined with Chen Jingxing's age, not only Feng Xiaogang, many professional film critics originally had a very conservative attitude towards his second film, because the essence of "Comet" is in the script, which does not require much directorial skills and does not reflect the director's ability.

Skill.

Unexpectedly, the director didn't show off at all and directly pointed out the new drama with split personality at the beginning.

The scene in this opening plot is fixed on a strange and terrifying stick figure. The previous dialogue has already hinted to the audience that this should be a painting drawn by a patient with mental illness. The psychiatrist uses the patient to draw to reflect on his mind.

Writing, the clumsy strokes painted a horrifying scene, with several people with twisted lines lying on the ground.

It was snowing heavily outside, and it seemed that even God was angry at this tragic murder.

Several exclamations came from the theater.

This leads to a series of characters including the protagonist.

This 22-year-old young man may have a good creative screenwriter and can produce "Comet" with his amateur skills, but he may not be able to handle it if he actually takes over a movie with an investment of tens of millions. In the film industry

There is a wall between the screenwriter and the director.

Suddenly the scene changed to a murder scene with a jumble of real people lying on the ground.

The progress of the plot brought Feng Xiaogang back to his thoughts. Under the camera that was still looking down, there was a sound of banging on the door, and the police entered the house one after another, drawing lines to collect evidence.

Feng Xiaogang's eyebrows twitched. The transition of this scene is quite beautiful and smooth. Paired with the low and terrifying soundtrack, it will frighten the audience quite a bit.

But just from these few minutes of footage, it can be seen that unless someone helps him make a movie, it is enough to prove that this young man not only has a rich imagination to create an interesting story, but also has the ability to turn the story into light and shadow.

Ability, and more than enough.

Then the scene moved to a remote and dilapidated guest house. The owner of the guest house was watching TV when a middle-aged man suddenly walked in with a woman in his arms and shouted in panic: "She has been bleeding! She has been bleeding.

Bleeding! Help me, help me!"

The police set up a task force. In China in the 21st century, it is not difficult to track down the perpetrators of such serious crimes. Even in this economically underdeveloped northwest town, there is a lot of surveillance data available for review, plus a large number of police personnel to conduct visits.

Clues to the murderer soon surfaced.

Feng Xiaogang has watched Chen Jingxing's first work "Comet". Although he admits that the script is very interesting, as a movie, Feng Xiaogang thinks it is unqualified. Perhaps due to the production cost, the whole movie does not have the texture of a movie, and it lacks the quality of a movie.

With the changes in light and shadow, it can be said that no matter how successful "Comet" is, it cannot prove that Chen Jingxing has qualified director skills.

The male protagonist, played by Luo Chen, was the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident. He failed to pay attention to the front in time because the female boss in the back seat ordered him to get something, and because of the heavy snow and slippery road, a car accident eventually occurred.

The high-heeled shoes that caused the tire of the family of three to burst were accidentally left on the road by a prostitute.

This plot is the same as the original version, using the method of events happening, then flashbacks, another event happening, and then flashbacks to connect the characters together through events.

In the end, due to heavy snow and road closures and signal failure, Luo Chen played a family of three, including a driver, a female boss, a prostitute, a young boy, a couple and a policeman escorting the suspect. A total of ten people were trapped and had to come to this simple guest house.

Stay one night.
