After a moment's pause, Cheng Hao replayed the video again.

Although I have seen it once, I still feel thrilling when I look at it again.

The film brought him a big surprise from the rendering of the atmosphere to the performance of the actors!

Especially the reversal and reversal of the ending, which directly sublimated the idea of the whole short film.

This time I watched it, Cheng Hao already watched it with the mentality of a film critic, and recorded the data one by one according to his own scoring system.

After another time, Cheng Hao pondered for a moment before he began to write a film review of "The Man in the Box".

"As a fanatic of film and television works, I used to be extremely keen to guess and summarize all kinds of suspenseful, thriller, and brain-burning routines.

So after watching a movie to a certain upper limit, I found myself practicing the ability to guess the ending at the beginning of a movie with a certain familiar routine—well...... Say it's not to be happy or to be disappointed.

But today, I saw a thriller short film that was completely unexpected and even amazed me - "Man in the Box"!

The protagonist passes out after being stabbed in the head from behind, and wakes up to find himself lying in a coffin-like box, desperately calling for help and using his cell phone to call the police, but the police have not been able to find him.

He watched as the battery in his phone became less and less charged, but he couldn't do anything about it, and he ended up trapped in the box forever.

This is the bright line of the plot, it is clear at a glance, and I was relieved to see the heroine wake up at the end.

But I never expected that the ending that I thought was over would break the reversal and reverse again.

It turns out that everything that happened before was the brain world of the protagonist who turned into a vegetative person after being injured by a sneak attack!

What's even more amazing is that everything that happened in the box before corresponds to the real world!

The protagonist transforms various feelings in reality into familiar intentions, and these images will be used as references to the current environment, everything is solvable and allegorical!

I felt bitten by a centipede in the box, which was actually the pain caused by the injection......

……

The reversal of the plot and the ingenuity of the concept...... It's truly stunning!

But the most touching thing is the humanistic care conveyed by this short film.

Before that, who paid attention to what the state of a vegetative person is.

But this short film puts the mental state of the vegetative person in front of us so bluntly but profoundly, shocking!

……

It is also worth mentioning the acting skills of the main character in this short film......

I found the name of the main character in the subtitles in the creative staff - Muno!

It's strange, I haven't heard of it before.

But with all due respect, the realism and appeal he showed when performing in the short film far surpassed many male artists of the same age in the circle.

Personally, I think he is an actor worth looking forward to, if he still goes to this line of work in the future!

The old rule, the rating goes for a walk.

Cheng Hao posted the film review on his official account, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"It's rare for Lao Cheng to give such a high score, go and see it immediately!"

"Lao Cheng admires the actor's acting skills so much, I'll identify it. ”

"Is it so good-looking, Lao Cheng shouldn't be charged, right?"

……

Soon, some viewers who watched the short film sent feedback!

"It's really pretty!

"Lao Cheng is not exaggerating, this rookie actor is too real, and he is definitely an acting school worth looking forward to!"

"I've read the movie reviews, and I've said that there are a lot of surprises (.) •ˇ‸ˇ•｡ )”

"It's a wonderful short film, I recommend it to someone I like!"

"Is there a straight man upstairs?"

……

In addition to the audience who accidentally saw this short film, there is also a group of audiences who like thriller film and television works.

They already liked the genre, and "Man in the Box" was a rare boutique, so they especially admired this short film.

They spontaneously promoted this work in their circle of friends, post bars, and forums, and they had a good reputation in a small area.

In the evening, "Man in the Box" rushed from 56th to 31st, only one place away from promotion.

Perhaps because he felt the threat of "Man in the Box", the work of the thirtieth place also began to be promoted on various channels, which barely made it even with "The Man in the Box".

But neither Xie Baoju nor Mu Ye cared at all, they knew very well that "The Man in the Box" still had great potential.

With the spontaneous promotion of the audience, "Man in the Box" will be even stronger in the later stage!

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, "Man in the Box" broke through 30 in one fell swoop, entered 26th place, and ...... Menacing!

With the increase in the number of ratings, the rating of "Man in the Box" has dropped slightly, but it still maintains a high score of more than nine points.

And as the absolute protagonist of this movie, Mu Ye's name also appeared in the public eye for the first time!

For his acting skills, most of them also gave recognition.

Maybe it's just a very small range, maybe it's just a familiar mix, but Mu Ye believes that this is just the beginning.

At the end of the week's public selection, "Man in the Box" successfully advanced to the final selection with the seventh place in popularity.

The final judging process is followed by a panel of judges who score the films based on various aspects of the film and compete for the final prize.

The judges of the jury include director Lin Changhong, editor-in-chief of Squirrel Video Network Lu Shu, associate professor Gao Chengfeng of Yenching Film Academy, well-known screenwriter Lin Jian, and senior media person Han Shanxu!

On August 10th, the top 30 short film directors and main creators were invited to the headquarters of Squirrel Video Network for the final evaluation and awards.

"The Man in the Box" was naturally invited to the scene by Xie Baoju, Xu Tao and Mu Ye.

When they arrived downstairs in the Squirrel Video Network Building, a staff member arranged to guide them into the large conference hall.

When they entered, there were already many people in the venue, in addition to the contestants, there were also many media reporters.

Looking at the boiling scene, looking at the media reporters who set up long guns and short cannons, Mu Ye's originally calm heart suddenly became restless.

Entertainment this circle...... I've finally touched the threshold!
