"Sansan, this, did he sign our company?" asked Wang Yishan.

Yao Mingyue also looked at Wang Zi'an.

"It's almost time, the contract expires, and he will sign it, and it is estimated that when this movie is drawn, his contract will expire. Wang Zi'an said lightly.

Wang Yishan and Yao Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh.

No wonder!

It seems that the other party also knows that this movie was invested by Wang Zian.

"Cousin, are we such disgusting black fans?" Although Yao Mingyue is older than Wang Zi'an, he is also used to calling him cousin with everyone.

On a whim, it's not impossible to call godfather.

She hoped that Wang Zi'an would say to her: Call Dad quickly.

"I didn't disgust them, and I couldn't help it. Wang Zi'an spread his hands: "The director thinks he is suitable, I will not interfere." ”

Now that she is ready to become her own person, Wang Yishan is no longer stingy with her praise for Wang Dazhuang's performer, and said: "I didn't expect Dazhuang's acting skills to be so powerful, I have always regarded him as an idol actor." ”

Yao Mingyue also nodded and said: "This movie is the road to transformation of Da Zhuang, the actors of the four major film festivals dare not say, the smaller ones, he may get one or two next year." ”

"Didn't he act well before?" Wang Zi'an asked curiously.

Wang Yishan and Yao Mingyue were speechless.

Wang Zi'an hasn't seen the other party's works, and he really doesn't know what the other party's strength is.

He's so busy, how can he have the time to pay attention to this.

"Idol actors, acting skills are like that. Yao Mingyue said, a little embarrassed after speaking.

She also started to transform last year.

In the past, she was too lazy to study acting, and she could rely on her face to eat and rely on her acting skills.

Giving opportunities to those who don't have a good face is also a good deed.

"It's a good thing that he can change, I thought he used to be very good at acting. Wang Zi'an smiled.

"No matter how powerful you are, you can't catch up with you three years ago. Yao Mingyue affirmed.

"I think so, too. Wang Yishan echoed, although she rarely acts, she is also an insider, and she can see it.

Wang Zi'an said modestly: "In many cases, acting still depends on the fit of the character image, the fit is not high, no matter how good the acting skills are, they can't be played, and they always make people play." ”

Yao Mingyue thought so.

In some film and television works, the heroine is ugly to death, but the people in it are all talking nonsense, saying that the heroine is the most beautiful.

Another supporting character who is too beautiful to talk about.

And the heroine's personality is not good, the result is that the male protagonist falls in love with the female protagonist, abandons the female partner who has a good personality and is too beautiful to be good, and marries the female protagonist.

This kind of drama makes the audience hurt the most.

Or maybe the heroine is "disfigured", with a small tattoo on her face, insisting that she is ugly to death.

The male protagonist also said that I don't care about your appearance, what I care about is you.

In fact, even if the "disfigured" heroine is still beautiful.

This kind of scene, the audience looks very painful.

The young girls can't interject, they are still too tender.

At this moment, they can only listen more and silently learn from Wang Zi'an.

Everyone chatted and chatted, and talked back to the movie "Buried Alive" itself.

Yao Mingyue exclaimed that life is a live burial.

Before, she knew that a movie could be made with just a girl and a gun.

And now, Ming Hao, the director of "Buried Alive", told everyone that a man and a coffin can also make a good film.

It's more than a good film!

Yao Mingyue is still in shock.

In the claustrophobic space, filming such a gripping one-man show, the tension and cramped space releases a vast social picture and human metaphor far beyond imagination, so that the oppressive and hopeless emotional impact it brings is still lingering for a long time after watching it.

The story told in "Buried Alive" is simple:

Wang Dazhuang died unconscious after being kidnapped in ancient Babylon, only to wake up to find himself buried in a coffin in the desert.

All he had was a cell phone, a lighter, a flashlight, a paintpen and a knife.

In this suffocating space, he must complete an astonishing escape operation.

Such a plot is like a huge black hole, so that the audience's emotions can't help but follow the ups and downs of the protagonist's fate.

And the audience's hope is like the oxygen in the coffin that is gradually depleted, and the fire that is constantly extinguished.

Finally, when the audience was desperate and caught a glimpse of the last glimmer of light, they were coldly told that the light was just a white horse passing through the gap, and what was waiting for would still be eternal darkness.

Life is a living burial, everyone is struggling to survive in a dark, claustrophobic and suffocating predicament, and rigid institutions and selfish and indifferent human relationships are more chilling executioners than terrorists, putting people in a colder despair.

Such themes are extremely exaggerated in the film:

In the process of Wang Dazhuang's self-rescue, he called the police, the company he served, his family, friends, etc., but he was met with varying degrees of indifference, sarcasm and kicking the ball by the relevant departments.

After the recording was completed, the director of the personnel department of the relevant department whispered "sorry," and the members of the hostage rescue team also said "sorry" at the end.

Such "I'm sorry" not only pervades the entire film, but also fills real life: you don't see those who can't afford it, and shirk all possibilities for assuming obligations and fulfilling responsibilities with these relaxed three words.

"Who cares if you're dead or alive" is repeated many times in the film.

In this society where interests are greater than the sky, no one really cares about Wang Dazhuang, even the mother who is a little senile - when a fresh life meets the so-called national dignity and group interests in a narrow way, the individual is as small as nothing.

What really determines is the limitations of people's lives, their selfishness and weakness.

It's like the surreal shot near the end of the film - the camera position is suddenly pulled to infinity height, and Wang Dazhuang's body lying in the coffin looks like a decaying skeleton.

The coffins on the four walls stretched infinitely in the darkness, as if there was no end.

It doesn't matter how many bugs there are in the film, or whether the coffin really exists, what matters is that it tells the fate of modern people.

Everyone lives in an abyss full of dangers, isolated and helpless.

Everything seems hopeless.

There is no hope from the world around us, no hope from the people around us, and no hope seems to come from ourselves.

And the absurd life is always mischievous and constantly gives you hope and then extinguishes.

On such a lonely planet, there is no savior of whom.

We can only keep our own persistence and dignity, even if the bottom line is repeatedly trampled on, even if there is no light at all, holding on may be the only salvation.

Yao Mingyue's biggest feeling is that this movie is too sharp.

Although it is not a horror movie, it can also make people sweat and watch it.

At the same time, Yao Mingyue also sighed that the director can really save money.

This movie seems to be filmed by anyone with a mobile phone, one actor, one scene to the end.

The film is very depressing, just imagine what you would do if you buried yourself alive in a coffin a few meters above the ground, given a mobile phone and a lighter?

Struggle, anger, whining, fear, despair, what's after that?

The part where the actor called his mother made Yao Mingyue sigh, and there were many things in it that made people think.

Reality is cruel after all, confidence and oxygen, consumed little by little, just like a game that can't be beaten, in the end I still have to give up all hope, and the ending is particularly good.

No matter how democratic a country is, the tone of the words spoken by the "relevant departments" sounds similar.

It's not easy to be alive.

Wang Yishan's feelings are similar, "Buried Alive" is a movie that completely exceeds her imagination, and the horror and suffocation it creates completely shocks her.

From the first second of the film to the last second, she did not have the slightest chance to relax and breathe.

She didn't know how much the spoilers of the movie would affect the movie's viewing experience, at least she was completely emotionally manipulated by the film without knowing the ending.

It's only been a little bit of watching the movie, and Wang Yishan is worried that the movie will use two parallel story lines, with Wang Dazhuang trapped on one side and the people who rescued him on the other.

Because once this is the case, it is difficult for the film to get rid of mediocrity and cliché.

Thankfully, the director chose a more risky and unsuccessful approach, focusing the camera on the protagonist in the coffin from beginning to end.

She feels that the most successful thing about the film is that it immerses the audience, which is different from "what would you do if it were you" in similar movies, but "how would you feel if it were you".

It is extremely difficult to convey the psychological feelings of the protagonist to the audience in front of the screen, especially when the scene and the protagonist are single.

But the director actually did it very successfully.

The "degree of suffocation" of this film can be roughly divided into three increasing stages from two unexpected events.

In the first stage, the director's main solution is to let the actor and the audience understand the current situation, where is he, why is he here, and what can he do to escape?

During this phase, Wang Dazhuang used his mobile phone to call everyone he could think of, the police number, the company that hired him, his wife who never answered the phone, his mother with Alzheimer's disease, the hostage rescue team in ancient Babylon, and of course, the terrorists who kidnapped him.

After all the questions were answered, he began to wait.

During this time, he heard strange and strange sounds outside the coffin, but because he suffered from anxiety, he was prone to shortness of breath, and the oxygen in the coffin was decreasing, so he later took the sedative medicine in his trouser bag and fell asleep.

And the first sudden event caused by that strange sound brought the audience's emotions to another level of suffocating pleasure.

In the second stage, the film begins to reveal the theme that the director wants to convey, that is, how insignificant the life and death of individuals are in the face of collective interests.

Wang Dazhuang was abandoned by the company he worked for in this paragraph, and was betrayed by the state apparatus that kept saying that it wanted to rescue him, so he fell into complete despair and even attempted suicide.

The second unexpected event that occurred at this time completely pushed the urgent atmosphere of the movie to a climax, and the countdown to death also escalated.

In the final stage, the director created multiple counter-climaxes, each time trying to push the audience's tense and suppressed emotions to the commanding heights.

And the shocking ending in the end, which lasted no more than 120 seconds, used the skill of not being able to distinguish the source of the voiceover, and completely took away the breath of all the audience.

From beginning to end, the audience can experience Wang Dazhuang's emotions, and even feel that the oxygen in the theater is gradually being snatched away by Wang Dazhuang on the big screen, so they feel more and more suffocated.

"Buried Alive" is the most outstanding suspense thriller that Yao Mingyue, Wang Yishan, and even girls have seen in recent years.

It almost perfectly manipulated the audience's emotions, in addition to the feeling of tension and suffocation, everyone was even touched by the plot twice by Wang Dazhuang's performance.

The film's cinematography and editing in a small space shine even more, Wang Dazhuang's one-man show is unforgettable, and the soundtrack is just right.

And if you want to find a lot of shortcomings, for example, some of the dialogue design is too exaggerated and out of reality, but it seems a little deliberate and contrived when placed behind the plot.

Of course, these are all things that the director must give up when he chooses this adventure, so it can also be said that there are no flaws.

If they return to China to be released, Yao Mingyue and the others want to go to the cinema to relive it.

The audience's atmosphere, environment, sound effects, etc., in the cinema, cannot be given at home.

Wang Zian was very satisfied with Ming Hao's "Buried Alive", and he was glad that he didn't interfere and embarrassed the director.

If you intervene yourself, the effect may not be as good as it is now.

The next day, although it was still the last day of the Qingming Festival holiday, Wang Zi'an went to Firefly City.

Went pretty early.

He first went to the anime department.

The animation department is also on holiday, but there are people left behind, such as wonton, who took the initiative to rush back last night to collect the holiday.

The main thing is that they know that Wang Zi'an is free these days.

Of course, employees can only accommodate their bosses.

At noon, Wang Zi'an invited the wontons and their group to have a meal and drink some wine.

In the afternoon, he started to go to the recording studio.

Before going to the recording studio, he first bumped into Li Yihong.

After bumping his head, Wang Zi'an plunged into the recording studio.

The band that helped record the accompaniment came.

After tossing and turning all afternoon, the band left, and Li Yihong asked them to take them to find a place to eat and drink.

The sound engineer was still there, but he didn't follow.

Because the singer came.

Wu Qian rushed back from her hometown today.

She is not a popular artist, and she is not even a third-tier artist, so she has time to go back to her hometown to go to the grave during the Qingming Festival.

"Cousin!" Seeing Wang Zi'an, Wu Qian was very happy.

She hadn't seen her for a few days, and she thought her cousin was more handsome.

Oh my God, how can there be such a handsome man in the world.

Can my cousin be more and more handsome as he grows?

The appearance control is so annoying.

"I'm sorry, I'm temporary, I'll change the song for you, and I'll only record the accompaniment in the afternoon. "Wang Zi'an likes Wu Qian, a girl, and her thoughtfulness as an assistant is second only to Yui Aragaki .

Fairy Liu has also been his assistant for a long time, but when it comes to who is most comfortable to serve, Wang Zi'an feels that Fairy Liu is still not as good as Wu Qian.

It's not because Wu Qian is younger and more tender.

The main reason is that he is a little sad to prevent Fairy Liu.

"It's okay, cousin, I've been practicing singing for the past two days, and I remember your advice, I didn't use my voice badly. Wu Qian was very happy.

"Let's start then, record first, and they will bring us food after dinner later. Wang Zi'an asked Wu Qian to put on a headset.
