Millennium director

"The comet that only appears once every 1,200 years finally arrived a month later.

"It is estimated that within a few days, the comet will be visible to the naked eye."

"Observation institutions around the world are preparing for observations..."

Listening to the morning news on the radio, Luo Sanye's family ate quietly around the table, with no one speaking.

"Grandma, let's go."

After eating, Sanye tied a ponytail with a red rope, put her schoolbags on her back and went to school together with her sister.

The Sanye family lives halfway up the hillside of the town. There is a winding cement road leading directly to the main part of the town down the mountain.

The sisters were walking along the edge of the cement road when a bicycle carrying people came speeding towards them.

"Sanye, good morning!" Zhou Yang, who was holding Zhu Yawen around his waist, greeted him warmly from the back seat.

The two of them played Luo Sanye's classmates Lin Keyan and Axiang.

"Good morning, Katsuhiko and Axiang." Mitsuha responded enthusiastically.

"Good morning." Lin Keyan smiled and greeted Sanye, turned around and said to Axiang with some disgust: "Get down quickly!"

"What are you doing, you cheapskate!"

The two of them were fighting and quarreling, which made Sanye sigh: "You two have such a good relationship."

"Who has a good relationship with him/her?" The two retorted in unison.

Lin Keyan, who looked at Sanye, noticed that the red rope that tied her ponytail was tied with a bow today, and said with a smile: "Sanye, your hair is tied up very well today."

"It was really scary yesterday."

"It's like being possessed by a ghost."

"Oh, there are no ghosts in this world." Axiang patted him dissatisfied, "We Sanye have been under too much pressure recently."

Luo Sanye, who was sandwiched between the two men, had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?"

When the movie was shown here, many smart audience members saw it.

"Director Wu is using a little trick." Jiang Wen chuckled, "The scene at the beginning where the heroine wakes up and touches her breasts, and the scene after eating, are not on the same day."

"He directly deleted the middle day through a transition, making the audience mistakenly think that after the body-swapping heroine woke up, she went out to cook and eat."

"Actually, the heroine who was having dinner later was the original one whose body had not been changed."

"A common trick used in many movies is to disrupt the order of the plot through editing and make the audience confused."

"Do you still need to say it?" Chen Kaige, who had a very unhappy relationship with Jiang Wen because of the strikeout of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", sneered and said, "I saw it when the camera switched."

"My sister said before that the food was ready, but the heroine was frying eggs again in the camera. Doesn't this imply that it's not the same day?"

Jiang Wen's smile froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Damn, this old boy really has sharp eyes.

Wu Yuan also laughed out loud.

Regardless of how good Director Chen's future films will be, he is indeed experienced and can see all the details Wu Yuan buried at a glance.

But it doesn’t matter if others can’t see it.

Next in the movie, two of Sanye's classmates explained the situation to her.

"You said yesterday that you couldn't remember your seat."

"My hair is still messy and not tied up with a headband."

"And I actually wanted to play basketball with other male classmates after class."

"It's almost like a different person."

On the school playground, the three of them sat in the corner and talked about the very different Sanye yesterday.

"No way," Sanye said a little depressed, "Speaking of which, I feel like I've been having a strange dream recently."

"In the dream, I seemed to be experiencing another person's life."

"But when I woke up, I couldn't remember what happened in the dream."

"I know!" Lin Keyan slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "According to the theory of parallel worlds, you must have experienced your own life in a parallel world in your dream."

"There are countless parallel worlds in this world, and there is you in these worlds, but their life experiences and lives may be completely different from yours!"

The more Lin Keyan talked, the more fantasy he got. Ah Xiang, who couldn't stand it anymore, interrupted: "Stop talking, you are talking too much."

But Sanye listened with great interest: "It would be great if this were true."

"I'm really fed up with this town."

"It's small and crowded. It's surrounded by Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. There's nothing there."

"There is only one canteen, no coffee shop, no bookstore, no bar, dance hall and skating rink. Every day at six or seven o'clock, the lights in the town are turned off and no one is around."

"It's so boring!"

Next, the plot of the movie mainly revolves around Sanye's life in a rural town.

I go to school during the day, and after school I help my grandma weave fabrics with my sister, making dyed fabrics with local ethnic minority characteristics, and go to the fields to help weed and turn the soil.

Whenever I feel tired from work, my only enjoyment is to go to the only canteen in town, spend two yuan to buy a bottle of glass soda, sit on the stone bench at the door, and take a nice sip.

I have to say that Liu Yifei is really beautiful, and she is pure and beautiful.

One advantage of a pure-looking heroine is that it can easily arouse the audience's desire for protection.

Especially when you see her working for the family, sweating profusely from exhaustion, with broken hair sticking to her cheeks, holding a glass of soda and taking a sip, with that satisfied smile on her face, it makes people even more heartbroken.

In fact, Wu Yuan has beautified it a lot.

Rural girls in this era have a much harder and sadder life than Luo Sanye.

Even Sanye’s life in the movie is much better than that of rural girls in backward areas in 2020

It can only be said that this movie is positioned as a campus romance after all, not a realistic theme.

Breaking away from reality is what many movies must do.

Of course, the plot of a girl singing a wine song prepared by Wu Yuan was also shown.

Thanks to the good lighting of the lighting engineer, when this plot is put on the big screen, the effect is simply beautiful.

The guests who can come to the premiere are more or less well-known in the industry. Naturally, they will not look at the plot superficially, and most of them will focus on appreciating the beauty of the shots.

That is to say, look at it from the perspective of appreciating "art".

But Jiang Wen was different. He looked at Liu Yifei on the screen with a smile like a flower, holding her white and tender rosy feet and stepping on the wine koji, and made a "tsk tsk" sound on his lips.

"Director Wu can still shoot. This shot is so beautiful."

Jiang Wen is somewhat similar to Quentin. He also likes to show physical beauty in movies.

Take a look at his film "The Righteous One", in which Peng Yuyan and Xu Qing have a lot of "selling meat" scenes.

Later, when the movie was released, a reporter asked him what the meaning of these clips was and whether there was any artistic expression. Jiang Wen said bluntly: "It doesn't mean anything, it just looks good and beautiful."

"Don't you think it looks good? Don't you think it's beautiful?"

This confused the reporters. It was the first time they saw such a straightforward director.

But I have to admit that Jiang Wen is right, Xu Qing’s buttocks are indeed beautiful, and the audience loves to see them too!

Wu Yuan's thoughts are actually similar to Jiang Wen's.

He really didn't have any artistic expression in filming this scene of singing alcoholic beverages. He just thought it looked good.

Sometimes when watching a movie, you really don’t need to think deeply about what the plot is for and what the meaning of the plot is.

Director Kego just can't understand this point. He always wants to put a lot of his own ideas into the movie. Even if it is a commercial film, he still has to play with depth and express various so-called "high arts", and then make people watch it in a fog. inside.

Chen Kaige looked at the screen showing Liu Yifei playing wine koji, as well as various close-ups, and was thinking about whether Wu Yuan wanted to express something, or whether there would be any foreshadowing in this plot later.

It turned out that he was wrong and there was no other foreshadowing at all.

The first 20 minutes of the entire movie are basically relatively straightforward, following Luo Sanye through the camera, taking the audience to understand her life.

Until one night, the exhausted Luo Sanye and his sister sat on the lawn on the mountainside and shouted at the shooting stars in the sky: "I don't want to stay in this town anymore."

"If there is a next life, I hope to be a handsome guy living in the capital!"

So the handsome guy living in the capital really appeared.

Lin Wenjie, who had disappeared in a quick glance at the beginning, reappeared and began the real laugh-packed part of the movie.

Sanye, who swapped bodies with Lin Wenjie in a dream, began to experience the life of a high school student in a big city.

Lin Wenjie also began to experience the life of a small town girl.

The two got into each other's lives, causing each other a lot of trouble, and also brought a lot of jokes to the people around them.

Sanye, who has always been quiet and sensible, turns into a sunny and cheerful boy every now and then, mingling with the boys at school, playing basketball together, and drinking soda with their arms around each other's shoulders.

If you are bullied by a teacher in class, you will bravely resist and even make fun of the teacher.

So much so that Sanye, who had changed her body, actually received a love letter from a female classmate.

Sanye, who had entered Lin Wenjie's body, was also enjoying the fun and delicious food in the big city. With her experience working in the family since childhood, she successfully completed Lin Wenjie's part-time job in the restaurant.

Unlike the kids from big cities who are very fussy and don't know how to work as a waiter, Sanye is very comfortable and able to work as a waiter.

Sanye, who is considerate and kind, easily gets along with her colleagues in the restaurant, and even Sun Meimei, the beauty of the restaurant, is attracted to her and takes the initiative to invite her on a date.

Two people who would never have met before, exchanged bodies every day, not only caused some trouble to each other, but also helped each other change a lot of things.

After gradually adapting to the days of swapping bodies, both of them wrote down their requirements for each other, what they prohibited the other from doing, and most importantly, the other's name in their notebooks.

The entire first half of the movie is light-hearted and humorous. The awkward jokes about body swapping, coupled with the changes in interpersonal relationships caused by the different personalities of the two parties, make people laugh out loud from time to time.

If the whole movie continues this style, it will be a light-hearted romantic comedy.

But of course Wu Yuan would not do this.

After changing his body again, when Lin Wenjie used his own identity to date Sun Meimei for a day, he found that the goddess he had once admired and had a crush on seemed to be unable to make any waves in his heart.

Sun Meimei also felt that the boy in front of her seemed to be different from the person she liked.

And in his heart, he didn't know when, but another girl had already moved in.

Lin Wenjie, who clearly understood this, had an idea in his mind.

He wanted to see Sanye in person instead of swapping bodies with her in his dreams.

He recalled the name of Sanye's hometown town that he had heard after switching bodies, and searched for this town online for the first time.

However, the first piece of news he found made him stunned.

"A major disaster caused by a meteor shower that occurs once in 1,200 years. Bixi Town in southern Yunnan was hit by a meteor and completely destroyed!"

In the news, there was a photo of Bixi Town after the disaster. A large crater replaced the prosperous and warm mountain town.

And this news was actually from three years ago.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Lin Wenjie held his head in his hands and muttered in panic.

"There's no way I wouldn't know about such a big accident!"

He had no news of this natural disaster before!

Suddenly, a large memory came to his mind. He saw this report on TV three years ago and the subsequent disaster relief news.

Of the 3,457 people in the town, no one survived.

It was as if this memory had been deliberately forgotten before, and now it suddenly came to mind.

The plot takes a turn for the worse.

The smiles on the faces of the guests in the screening room also disappeared.

Zhang Yimou nodded slightly, he already knew how the next plot was going to be filmed.

"The next step is for the hero to find ways to save the heroine." He said calmly.

The story is not complicated. In fact, commercial films do not need complex stories. The easier it is for the audience to understand, the better.

And a simple story doesn’t mean it’s not good to watch.

The image of Sanye created in the first half of the movie is very good. She is kind and sensible. Although she complains that life in a small town is boring, she still faces life positively every day.

The most important thing is that the entire town has a warm atmosphere. It cannot be said to be a paradise, but it is definitely a quiet, peaceful and warm place.

For such a beautiful and warm town, no one with normal moral values ​​would want to see it destroyed by a natural disaster.

Naturally, the hearts of the audience were also clenched, hoping that Lin Wenjie could change this past history, save this town, and save the kind and sensible Luo Sanye, her lovely sister, and gentle grandma...

This is why Wu Yuan’s perspective was focused on Luo Sanye in the first half of the movie. If he didn’t bring this character and this town to life, he wouldn’t be able to make the audience resonate with the male protagonist after the plot twist. .

The movie continues.

Thinking of all this, Lin Wenjie asked his father for a sum of money and immediately bought a ticket to fly to southern Yunnan. He did not believe that Sanye was dead, even though he had switched bodies with her in his dream.

My sister, grandma, Axiang, Lin Keyan, and everyone in the town.

Each of them is a fresh and warm life in Lin Wenjie's memory!

He didn't want to believe it all, so he flew to Dian Province as quickly as possible, found someone who knew the location of the town, and under his leadership, climbed a mountain opposite the town.

Looking away, there are only dilapidated ruins and a crater that has been filled by lake water.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

"I remember this high school, the playground, and the mountains next to it clearly. How did it end up like this!"

The local middle-aged man who brought him here sighed: "You know about the disaster three years ago, right?"

"All 3,457 people in the town died under the meteorite."

"Dead?" Lin Wenjie's expression was blank and his eyes were unfocused, "Three years ago, he died?"

"How can it be!"

At a loss, he pulled out a diary from the backpack he carried with him, and opened it in front of the middle-aged man in a panic, as if he had grasped the last straw.

"Look, the diary she wrote is quite good!"

"What diary?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.

Lin Wenjie quickly turned it over and looked at the diary, only to find that the daily life records that Sanye had shared with her and the rules for body swapping that had been clearly written down on it had all disappeared.

The entire diary is blank.

All traces of her existence in this world have disappeared.

Lin Wenjie collapsed on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained away.

"What's going on with all this?"

The previous chapter has been blocked, and the next chapter is still being written. It is recommended to read it again tomorrow.
