Choose a day to become famous

The movie starts from a Jiangnan water town.

The first shot is a gloomy sky and endless rain.

This movie is about three young people who go treasure hunting, but encounter many strange things on the way to find the treasure, and finally encounter misfortune and strange death.

From the ending of the story, it is a tragedy. But this movie is not a story-telling movie.

From the first third of the movie, the shell of this movie is three young people living in hunger and cold, because they accidentally get the news of a treasure, in order to find the treasure, they embark on the road of treasure hunting. The background of the story is in an era of war and ghosts, and the journey is difficult. At the beginning, they were full of ambition, but after experiencing various dangers and hardships in the middle, disputes, contradictions and conflicts occurred between the three, and their temperaments changed drastically.

More and more strange things happened to them.

A blind old woman also said that the three of them were cursed.

The conflict between them became more and more serious. Some people wanted to leave and go home. At this time, one night, it suddenly rained heavily. They hurriedly looked for shelter in the mountains and forests, and then saw a temple with a faint light in the distance.

…

The temple in the camera was dark and gloomy. In the vast mountains and forests, it was like a bean flame, covered and obscured by the dark rain that covered the sky and the ground, and it could go out at any time.

Such a sudden shot suddenly appeared in front of the audience, and with a cold whistle like a female ghost, it appeared in front of everyone.

Then, the camera slowly pushed closer to the door of the temple, and a silhouette of the temple appeared in front of them.

The temple was very ordinary and small. It was gray inside, with nothing inside, and there were cracked wrinkles on the walls.

A person sat in the temple, with a fire in front of him, and the firelight shone on his face, a very young face.

This face was somewhat handsome, and in the flickering firelight, it seemed as if the soul had been taken away. His eyes were dull, his face was numb, and he looked as if he was withered and silent, as if even the firelight could not awaken any light in his eyes.

"Here it comes!" Lu Yanhe exclaimed in his heart, and at the same time, he was also shocked by his own camera.

He almost didn't recognize himself.

Wang Zhong seemed to deliberately not want everyone to recognize him easily. Whether it was the makeup and shooting angle, or the later color tone and light and shadow, they were all processed, making him in the camera a little different from him in reality.

Of course, the most important thing is that the charm and temperament on his body are completely different.

Wintour Robe had already seen this film when reviewing the film before the premiere today.

When he watched this film, he was deeply impressed by this young actor who only appeared for ten minutes.

A fresh face that blooms with amazing brilliance is always a surprise.

This is how the film and television industry is, people are always looking forward to fresh faces.

Therefore, after watching the film, Wintour Robe specifically investigated this young actor.

For a film festival, its status in the film industry depends on how many directors it can dig out and how many films it can produce that will go down in history. There is no specific data standard for this kind of influence, and it all lies in everyone's heart.

For the film industry, where an outstanding actor is known by everyone also affects the influence of the film festival.

This kind of thing cannot be explained or explained, it is only in the heart of every filmmaker.

Before Lu Yanhe traveled through time, although the three major European film festivals had great influence and high status, in terms of international influence, no matter how you look at it, it is actually not as good as the American Oscars. No matter what angle or argument you use to say that the game rules of the "Oscars" are the American awards themselves, it does not mean that it is higher than other film awards - the fact is that in all aspects, the American Film Academy Awards is the most influential and an honor that everyone in the film industry wants to obtain. There is no reason, just because it is the top award in this field.

However, in the world where Lu Yanhe traveled through time, the Academy Awards still had a pivotal position, but it was not the only one. The four major international film festivals could compete with it in terms of international influence.

In order to compete with the four major international film festivals, the selection scope of the Academy Awards has become wider and wider. In recent years, Asian films have been nominated, and its members have increased. It has become more and more international, trying to recruit the top film talents from all over the world and make it an award voted by the world's top industry personnel. This is similar to the idea of ​​the Academy Awards in the original world.

Wintour Robey is optimistic about the young man Lu Yanhe, so he paid more attention to him and sincerely hoped that he could make better movies in the future and bring more works to the West Tuer Film Festival.

The whole cinema was silent.

Almost all the audience were attracted by the young fortune teller who suddenly appeared on the screen.

Fortune tellers are not unique to China. There are also witches, sorcerers, and prophet-tellers in foreign countries. Therefore, it is not difficult for foreign audiences to understand the existence of fortune tellers.

As Lu Yanhe's expression changed as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, many film magazine critics were attracted by this rarely seen character type and state. They stared at the screen intently and forgot to write with the pen in their hands.

Professional film critics often watch movies with notebooks and pens, and take notes while watching to avoid forgetting some details.

At this moment, the young, handsome and somewhat embarrassed man on the screen suddenly appeared out of nowhere and caught their attention unexpectedly.

-

As the chief film critic of the French magazine "Film", Louis Deluc has always been a very strict film critic.

Especially for a director like Wang Zhong who has been famous for a long time, his evaluation will be more stringent. However, because his film reviews are often meaningful, he can point out the real problems in the film with one stroke, and he can stand from the perspective of film history and give an unambiguous positioning to the new masterpieces that emerge every year. He is one of the few film critics who dares to speak out, is spicy and can be respected by many filmmakers.

Abroad, especially in Europe and the United States, the influence of film critics on a film is far greater than that in China.

This is because the development of European and American films has a very long period of time, and it has developed along with the propaganda of traditional media. Film critics' film review columns play a vital role in whether the audience goes to the cinema to watch the film. In China, because the film industry developed relatively late, when it entered the booming market, traditional media, especially film reviews, had become outdated with the development of the times and basically no longer constituted an important part of a film's promotion and distribution. This has caused film reviews to have almost no impact on the domestic box office. Instead, it is the marketing of the Internet, the scores of the scoring platform, and the operation of topics that have a greater impact on the box office of a film.

Although the promotion and distribution of European and American films are increasingly influenced by the Internet and have undergone many changes, the evaluation and scoring of film critics are still one of the most important factors affecting a film before and during its initial release.

At film festivals, their presence is even more significant.

After all, there are very few people who can come to the film festival in person and buy tickets to watch these films. Most of the fans around the world pay attention to these films at the film festival from the program ratings, media reputation, etc. This means that the evaluation of the media is the first impression of the world premiere of the film at the film festival to the world.

The role and influence of film critics are infinitely magnified under the special mechanism of the film festival.

For a top film critic like Louis Deluc, his attitude is even more important.

When Louis Deluc watched the movie "Three Mountains", his expression was always serious.

This is because he is not used to others seeing any information from his face.

When the movie started, Louis Deluc was seriously involved in Wang Zhong's movie.

He has basically seen all the works of this Chinese director. He must admit that he doesn't like Wang Zhong's works very much. Because Wang Zhong's movies always give people a sense of mystery. In Wang Zhong's movies, there are all kinds of images, which seem to contain some deep meaning, but when you look closely, you can't get anything specific.

There are many directors who like to play with images. Wang Zhong's advantage is that he plays them to the extreme. Those elements of ancient Chinese traditional culture are arranged and combined in new ways in his movies, giving people a feeling that has never been seen before in the movies.

Just like the movie "Three Mountains", the tone of the whole movie is written with the big word "supernatural", and the words between the lines of each paragraph reveal the meaning of "borrowing from the past to satirize the present".

Want to hide something, but hide it too blatantly, in fact, you just can't hide it.

This is Louis Deluc's usual evaluation of Wang Zhong's movies, and he still feels this way in the movie "Three Mountains".

Of course, the techniques of this movie are more mature, and compared with Wang Zhong's previous more obscure movies, "Three Mountains" is at least a story that ordinary audiences can be drawn into, and it won't make people drowsy.

Louis Deluc had almost made up his mind about "Three Mountains" until the scene of the mountain temple suddenly appeared.

From the howling sound like a female ghost, it seemed as if someone had blown a mouthful of wind on the top of his head.

Louis Deluc's slightly relaxed mind perked up again.

For film critics, they will of course pay attention to the performance of the actors - the performance of the actors is the most important expression carrier of a movie. However, for a film critic like Louis Deluc, he actually pays more attention to the director's rules and attitude, rather than the actors. He didn't expect to be suddenly attracted by this character who appeared in the middle.

Wang Zhong is not a director who can shoot actors. His film style also determines that it is difficult for actors to have outstanding performances in his films. Because the characters in his films will be covered by the atmosphere of the film itself, just like the three young people in "Three Mountains". Of course, they acted well, but they were superficial, or in other words, the characters themselves were superficial. The film did not try to explore the complex aspects of these characters. They were all pushed by the story and the environment, like a puppet.

The fortune teller who appeared in the movie is qualitatively different from the three protagonists.

Perhaps many ordinary audiences can only feel that this character is a little different when he appears, and it is hard to say what is different, but senior film critics like Louis Deluc can see the difference at a glance.

The difference is that this fortune teller is alive. He is like a living person in the movie. When you see him, it is like seeing him in reality. You will not feel that he is a role being performed, but like a real existence. He has a heavy experience in his past life. The sense of story is lightly exuded from his absent-minded pupils, expressionless face and silent posture in a way that does not need to be deliberately announced to the public.

Young actor.

The old monk is in meditation.

As the three young men entered the temple, they approached him carefully.

The drum beats sounded from time to time at the point where one of them finished a sentence.

It was like a play on the stage.

It was also like some kind of storytelling.

Louis Deluc didn't notice it at first, but as the young fortune teller suddenly seemed to come back to life, his eyes were full of spirit, revealing his gloomy or crazy madman posture, the rhythm of the drum beats seemed to speed up little by little.

The drum beats seemed to be in line with the rhythm and movements of the fortune teller's speech.

"I'm talking nonsense?!"

"I never talk nonsense!"

"If you guys don't ask me to tell you a fortune and find a way to solve it, you will all die!"

He spoke a lot of words one after another, and suddenly accompanied by a swooping shot of him rushing towards someone, forming a visual stimulation, coupled with his increasingly hurried tone and his anxious look as if he was talking to himself.

The fortune teller suddenly remembered something and raised his head.

The drum beat suddenly.

The camera was aimed at his suddenly stagnant face and his suddenly frozen eyes. If it weren't for the shadow of the flame still shaking on his face, that moment of stagnation seemed to have stopped time.

Then, an incredible look of fear emerged from his eyes.

He stared at the three of them, as if he saw incredible and indescribable horror in them.

The camera slowly pulled away from his face and away.

In front of him, three young men were also frightened and at a loss. Their bodies seemed frozen, and only their eyes looked at each other cautiously with fear.

The camera in front of him showed the entire interior of the mountain temple.

Nothing.

No so-called ghosts, no sudden terror.

But in this almost frozen, confrontational picture, many viewers felt a creepy feeling.

He suddenly collapsed and screamed, then turned around and ran out of the mountain temple, without saying a word, as if haunted by evil spirits, and disappeared in the dark rain outside the door.

The camera suddenly cut.

The porcelain statue in the mountain temple, which was only half a meter tall and could not be recognized as a god or Buddha, had a layer of ash on its smiling appearance with a flower in its hand.

Under the swaying light and shadow of the flames, the smiling lips of the statue seemed to be solidified.

Seems?

...

After this night, the three people seemed to have suffered a serious illness, and they were all devastated.

Some people chose to stop and no longer search for the illusory treasure.

The other two continued to move forward.

Greed, anger, ignorance, life and death are all illusions.

After the night ended, the audience who watched this movie suddenly became weak, as if someone had taken away some of their energy.

Louis Deluc thought that this was like the inevitable fatigue after experiencing an extreme emotional release.

When the movie reached the end, three young people died one after another, including the one who chose to stop and no longer move forward.

The last scene of the movie was the scene when the young man who stopped and no longer moved forward was buried. Several people buried him and erected a grave. The green mountains were far away, the figures disappeared, and there was only such a lonely grave in the empty wilderness.

The back of the fortune teller running away suddenly appeared in Louis Deluc's mind.

Louis Deluc found it difficult to describe his mood at this moment. He rarely encountered a movie, and he could not immediately sort out the language or words to express his evaluation of the movie. He felt like he was immersed in an inexplicable emotion. The world in this movie was a world he had never entered before, but he felt like he had a nightmare. He woke up and found himself still in a dream. When he woke up again, he didn't know whether he was really awake or what was true and what was false.

-

The movie ended.

The theater was quiet.

After about three to five seconds, some applause sparsely sounded, and then the applause gradually increased, and finally gathered into a loud tide.

Wang Zhong stood up with several actors, facing the audience and bowing to everyone.

Sitting next to them, the filmmakers who were invited to watch the movie said congratulations.

Lu Yanhe was still a little dazed. He didn't know what to say - he didn't understand it a little.

Of course, his misunderstanding was that although he didn't understand it, he was shocked.

Movies can be shot like this.

Almost everyone congratulated them wholeheartedly for making an excellent movie.

The applause on the scene lasted about three or four minutes.

Jia Long held Lu Yanhe's hand tightly, and there was a hint of surprise and admiration in his tone, which he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"This will become one of your best performances." Jia Long said, "Yan He, you will definitely give many good performances in the future, but I dare say that there will definitely not be another performance that can surpass your performance in the future. The performance in this movie made my hair stand on end and my heart beat faster, you are awesome.”

Lu Yanhe laughed blankly.

He scratched his head.

So exaggerated?

People came to express their shock to him one after another, and Lu Yanhe slowly accepted everyone's comments in his heart.

After the premiere, the scene will change immediately.

They have to cooperate with the media and photographers to take photos and complete related publicity work.

After that, it’s interviews and Q\u0026A sessions.

The moment they walked into the venue, applause suddenly broke out.

Reporters from all over the world still had the excitement on their faces that they had just watched the movie. They looked at them with enthusiasm and expectation, as if they couldn't wait to ask them questions.

Unexpectedly, it took me nearly three or four hours to type just 5,000 words.

This chapter was so difficult to write. (End of chapter)
