Chapter 197: First Place
"Secret Room" attracted everyone's attention as soon as it began, although this was the fourth time they had seen the film.
In the small secret room, seven people with very different identities and occupations and very different personalities and temperaments were brought here by someone and locked up in the same room.
The scarcity of food and water leads to conflicts between the seven people, and at the same time, the selfish nature is exposed, and the picture begins to go dark.
When the first coma is over, the strange death of the companion makes fear, panic and suspicion quickly breed, and the rest of the people are wary of each other, and no one around them thinks that they are murderers.
Then the second death happens, and the third, the fog gets thicker and thicker, no one can guess where the plot will go next, and the audience's heart follows the director's wishes in an unknown direction.
The fear of imminent death, the strong desire to live, and the hints of all kinds of weird little details, every point can show the director's solid skills.
Until the identity of the murderer is revealed, the conflict breaks out directly, and the film reaches its climax. In the end, the real ending is revealed, all the foreshadowing and doubts in front are answered, a stunning twist, and an open-ended ending.
Every time I watch this film, several people are like riding a roller coaster, experiencing a journey full of heartbeat and excitement.
When the subtitles of the film were all typed and the projector could no longer spit anything, someone ran to turn the machine off and turn on the lights in the room.
"What do you think?" said one of the older ones, sitting upright and looking up at his colleagues.
Someone said, "It's a novelty and ingenious idea, it's brilliant." β
Someone picked up: "The filming technique and narrative technique are also very good. β
Someone sighed: "As a short film, the production is quite good. β
"The actor is also a big name, I think the male protagonist in it seems to be the most popular idol star now, I am willing to invite him to play a short film, it is really..."
Someone shook their heads in disbelief and sighed.
The first to speak couldn't help but laugh: "You, don't you want to see who the director is?"
"Who is the director? It can't be a big director who is idle and bored to make a film and send it to us?!"
"What do you want?" the man shook his head speechlessly and said, "The director of this film is the idol star you said!"
"No, it's him. Several people in the room were surprised, found out the information of the contestants, and took a closer look, it was true.
"It's really him, he can make a film like this? It's unbelievable. β
"I can't say that, no matter how people say it, I am also a student of the directing department, and I am a well-known talent, and it is not impossible to have some amazing ideas and have the ability to express them perfectly. β
"Alright, alright. The leader stopped everyone's discussion and said: "Today, I asked you to talk about the film itself, not the director's personality." I just want to ask, how does this "Secret Room" compare to the other two films that were selected for the finals?"
"The film "Youth" is okay, but the plot is a bit clichΓ©, and it is definitely not as good as "Secret Room". β
"It's the same with "Taxi", and it's a little immature in terms of shooting techniques and details. β
""Secret Room" does surpass the other two in many aspects. β
Listening to the high degree of unanimity among his colleagues, the leader nodded with satisfaction.
"That means that the first place in this contest was awarded to "Secret Room", and everyone has no opinion, right?"
"Nope. Everyone nodded affirmatively.
"Good. The leader concluded: "I also think that "Secret Room" is very good in all aspects such as script, shooting, editing, and production, and even after several previous editions, it is difficult to find works of the same quality. β
"It's no problem to get first, so let's talk about another thing. The leader sat up slightly and said, "The new World Short Film Competition in Nottingham, England is about to open."
The leader's gaze swept over the faces of each colleague, and he said with a smile: "I want to recommend "Secret Room" as a representative work in China to complete the competition, do you have any opinions on this?"
...
Yang Yang is still accustomed to browsing the follow-up reports on the reconstruction of the disaster area on the Internet every day, and the good news is getting more and more every day, and his heart is gradually settling down.
At this time, Yang Yang's mobile phone rang, he picked it up and looked at the screen, it was Xu Chenghe calling.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Xu Chenghe's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement and excitement, and he said impatiently: "Yang Yang, your "Secret Room" has won the award, the first place in the 'Micro Shadow' Young Director Competition!"
"The news has spread all over the department, the teachers and everyone are very happy, the organizer also invited us to attend the award ceremony in a few days, when will you go back to school, we will discuss..."
Yang Yang was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and nodded: "Well, I know... I'll be back in the next two days, and I'll talk about it then."
Hanging up the phone, full of joy poured out from the bottom of his heart, Yang Yang couldn't help but clench his fists and shouted "yes!" softly.
Although he was only the first place in the Young Directors Competition that not many people paid attention to, he was even more excited than when he won six awards at the Golden Melody Awards.
There is no other reason, because in a sense, this is the work that is soaked in his hard work and really belongs to him Yang Yang, and it is a director's work.
Yang Yang immediately told the good news to Qin Shang, Chu Hao and all the main creators who participated in the show, and then he was not satisfied, and called Zhang Bai who was far away in the magic capital.
"Lao Bai, there is a little thing I want to tell you. β
Say. β
"Some time ago, I directed a film to participate in the competition, do you remember?"
"Well, the film won an award?"
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I was accidentally rated as the first place, I'm ashamed to be ashamed!" Yang Yang's tone was a little unbearable even for himself.
Zhang Bai expressed disdain: "For your film, it cost a small amount of 100,000 yuan, and what is there to be proud of being the first place in a group of student works with an average production cost of no more than 8,000? β
Yang Yang: "You just can't speak, no wonder you have so few friends." If I had known, I wouldn't have shared the joy of success with you..."
Zhang Bai: ".... Anyway, the script I told you last time has been written, and I'll pass it on to you in the next two days, so you can take a good look at the schedule. I will take you back and get a few grand prizes on the table, so that you can be poor and happy every day. β
Yang Yang replied: "Okay, just don't give me all the characters with abnormal sexual orientation." β
Zhang Bai threw down the sentence "You can take a look first" and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
Yang Yang always felt that Zhang Bai seemed to be a little weak in the end, and later he got the script and verified his guess.
