Chapter 57: Praise
The comments of many viewers and media reporters made the film critics present empathize.
was originally invited, in addition to Yu Dong's face and carriage fee, he also won the New Wave Award and the Golden Horse nomination for "Comet".
Everyone thinks that there must be something commendable about this film.
But there are really no highlights in the first ten minutes, but as a professional film critic, I can still find some contradictions in the dialogue, which should be a foreshadowing.
Next, it depends on whether the following content can be connected from end to end, giving you a big surprise.
Soon, the critics didn't wait too long, and two identical notes made the suspense come in an instant.
The box that appeared later made the film even more weird, and at this time everyone stopped complaining and was attracted by the content of the film.
When Dong Xuan and Chen Qian went out and discovered the exact same self, the concept of parallel time and space appeared in everyone's minds.
The subsequent plot became more and more tense, and the suspense followed one after another.
It wasn't until later, when the puzzle was solved, that everyone knew that there were not just two parallel planes, but countless ones, and worse, as long as you passed through the dark zone, you could never go back to the original time and space.
At the end of the film, when everyone thought that the heroine could successfully stay in the ideal time and space, there was a sudden turn.
Everyone was still thinking about the appearance of two Dong Xuan in the same time and space, what would be the final fate of the heroine, the big screen went black, and the movie ended directly!
Everyone present felt a little unsatisfied, but it seemed that the results were already obvious.
At this time, everyone present did not have the doubts and disfavor at the beginning, but were still thinking about this unusual domestic science fiction movie.
Without a doubt, this is a wonderful sci-fi movie, although it doesn't have amazing and cool special effects like "Star Wars", "Jurassic Park", and "Terminator", but it is very attractive.
can keep you watching the plot, except for the first ten minutes, of course.
But now that I think about it, there are many irregularities in the dialogue at the beginning, and the broken mobile phone screen, power outage, and communication interruption all implicitly fit the parallel time and space setting of this film.
The seemingly boring ten minutes in the front echo the second half of the film, and now it seems that there is a lot worth savoring.
It's a pity that now that the movie is over, many places didn't pay attention to it at the time, and it can no longer be confirmed.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The scene suddenly remembered the sound of applause, and then the entire theater was in an uproar.
Some of them are surprised and relieved by this wonderful domestic sci-fi, and some may be out of politeness.
But Chen Hao and the main creators still stood up, bowed slightly to everyone, and thanked everyone for their applause.
Chen Hao is okay, he has already experienced it when he was in Busan, and his mentality is much calmer, but Dong Xuan, Tang Wei and others are different.
The premiere of Emperor Film, after all, is mainly student-oriented, which does not explain much, but now it is the applause of real audiences, reporters and film critics, which has a different meaning.
Then, Chen Hao walked up to the front desk at the signal of Yu Dong, "Thank you, thank you for your applause!"
And when everyone saw the director on stage, they shouted one after another.
"The movie is wonderful!"
"I finally saw a real domestic sci-fi film!"
"This low-budget sci-fi movie should be the best domestic sci-fi film!"
......
"Thank you, thank you for your love!" Chen Hao kept thanking.
"Director Chen, the movie is unexpectedly exciting, how did you come up with the idea of making this movie?"
"I had read a lot of novels and movies about parallel time and space, so I had a similar idea, and then I thought about what would happen if I could enter different time and space if time and space were intertwined, and this movie was born. Chen Hao said nonsense.
......
Media reporters and film critics have countless questions to ask Chen Hao after watching the movie, and Chen Hao patiently explains to everyone.
Later, Dong Xuan, Tang Wei and other main creators were introduced to everyone.
Dong Xuan and others were interviewed by the media for the first time, and they were a little at a loss, but fortunately, with Chen Hao on the side, they had a good time.
The movie starring for the first time was well received by the media, and she was interviewed by the media, which made Dong Xuan a little excited, and she pulled Chen Hao away after the movie, and Chen Hao also enjoyed all the blessings.
The next day, Yu Dong contacted Chen Hao, and the effect of the screening was very good, and the media and film critics present spoke highly of the movie.
In order to strike while the iron is hot, Yu Dong decided to expand the scale of screenings, and at the same time also carry out screening plans on campus.
In the following two weeks, "Comet" held a number of screenings and was well received.
In order to be able to eat "Comet", some film critics even participated in multiple screenings in a row.
Soon, the press and film critics came out with a fresh review of "The Comet".
"Best Science Fiction Film of 2001--- "The Night the Comet Comed"!
Everyone should have heard of this movie, because it just won the Busan International Film Festival's top award, the New Wave Award, and was nominated for the Golden Horse Award.
The author was fortunate enough to participate in the screening of "Comet" in the mainland not long ago, and the first ten minutes of the film may be a little unbearable, but please be sure to watch it, because the next time proves that everything is worth it.
The setting of the film is novel, parallel to time and space, but it is not a positive show, but is extended through a series of anomalies, which makes the film full of suspense and makes you fully immersed in the movie.
After watching the 90-minute movie, you won't feel the time passing at all, because you need to stay very focused while watching it, otherwise you will miss a lot of details.
A lot of the plot of the film is very brain-burning, yes, this is a word invented by the director, very expressive, you need to burn your brain cells so that you can notice more details.
For this reason, I watched a total of three shows of "Comet", and even then there are still a lot of things I don't understand.
Of course, many details have not been seen, and it does not affect Li's understanding of this movie, it can only be said that the director is really a genius, so many details, it can be seen that the director's screenwriting skills are really rare.
Because there are no spoilers, many wonderful places cannot be described, so you can only wait for everyone to go to the cinema to watch it yourself.
But without a doubt, this is the best sci-fi film I've seen this year, both Chinese and foreign!"

"Comet --- unexpected sci-fi masterpiece!
Whether it is from the perspective of a professional screenwriter or a movie lover, "Comet" should be regarded as a very wonderful work.
This movie tells a story about what the public is pondering in the middle of the night, and it is vivid.
I think it's brilliant in the clever use of structure and the direction of the plot.
The basic framework of the film genre has not changed: a space (a room), a multi-person scenario with different personalities. It is obviously a playful structure, so the film does not do a deep job in the longitudinal excavation of the characters, but the relationship between the characters and different personalities can basically be in place.
But the wonderful thing about it is that it is not limited to the point of "many people trapped in a closed and strange space, in order to survive the various revelations of human nature".
The creator added philosophical propositions such as "parallel worlds" and "quantum physics theory", and the theme of the whole movie suddenly rose up.
The subtle presentation is an ordinary dinner party of a few friends, and the high-pressure philosophical proposition involved behind it is small and big, happening around everyone, so that such a proposition is easy to accept, and have the same illusion about the things around them.
Another thing that impresses me is the director and screenwriter of this film, only 21-year-old Chen Hao!
This film is his debut film, and from a plot point of view, the plot of the movie has never stopped.
The actions of the characters and the development of the story do not stop for a moment, and even every action slowly moves towards a greater climax.
The script is definitely well-crafted, and it's hard to imagine that it was a senior who wrote such a wonderful script!
From the director's point of view, there is not a single superfluous shot in the whole movie, and every shot has a deep meaning and echoes before and after.
What's even more awesome is his clips.
When this movie is watched in its entirety, it follows the order of plot development, but in fact, it intercepts countless things that happen in parallel time and space.
A scene from one time and space, and then a scene from another time and space, are pieced together with each other, but they do not affect the development of the plot at all, and they are also integrated into a wonderful movie that justifies itself.
Such an awesome editing technique is really breathtaking, it can only be said that he can still edit like this! Maybe this is also the reason why he can be nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Editing!
Chen Hao, a 21-year-old senior director, brought a huge surprise to everyone with his debut film, looking forward to the release of "Comet", and looking forward to him continuing to bring you great works!"
