Chapter 215: Conquering Western Audiences

"Thank you for coming, Olivia. Yang Yang looked at Olivia, who was sitting gracefully beside him, and greeted her with a smile.

"It's my pleasure. Olivia smiled faintly, and then beckoned to Liao Chengwen behind Yang Yang, "Hello, Liao." ”

"Hello. Even if it was not the first time they met, Liao Chengwen was still a little restrained and nervous standing in front of the goddess.

"Let's take a seat. ”

Yang Yang beckoned the two to sit down, and Olivia and Liao Chengwen sat beside him left and right.

"Yang, it looks like everyone is looking forward to your movie. Olivia looked at the attendance rate of the screening room, which was almost 90%, and the small theater was almost full.

"I hope I won't let them down later. Yang Yang smiled slightly, in fact, the attendance rate of "Secret Room" is inseparable from Yu Shuping's strong recommendation to the jury.

However, people are recruited, and whether they can be kept depends on Yang Yang's own ability.

At the beginning of the film, the opening with a dark style is a little different from the Asian movies in the impression of European audiences, and everyone's interest is raised.

Soon, the plot begins to unfold, why are seven people with different personalities and identities locked up together, what kind of conflict happens when there is no food and no water, how can they survive, and what kind of secrets are hidden in the mysterious secret room?

One mystery after another arranged by Yang Yang, layer after layer of veil, deeply attracted the audience. They are nervous, and their hearts beat fast with the ups and downs of the plot.

Western audiences like to watch this kind of suspenseful and brain-burning fast-paced film, "Secret Room" may only be amazing in China, but here, it is definitely called a "masterpiece." ”

Westerners generally have beliefs, and their love for certain things is more pure. Just like a small bug in a movie, domestic audiences may be accustomed to picking bones in eggs and catching loopholes, while Western audiences like to make up for their brains, maybe this is a foreshadowing deliberately left by the director and screenwriter to prepare for the filming of a sequel.

Indeed, many Western movies have sequels, and they make a series as soon as they are shot.

"Oh my God, it was the lawyer who died, I thought it would be the middle-aged man. ”

"I guess the middle-aged man must be a master of the world with unique skills, aren't all masters in China like this? ”

"How do you think these people died, bleeding from the seven orifices.."

"I guess it's a neurotoxin that sticks out of the wall they're leaning on and injects into the victim's body. ”

...

Yang Yang is not watching the movie, he has watched it I don't know how many times, and he puts all his attention on the audience's evaluation of "Secret Room".

So far, the audience's discussion of the plot is quite enthusiastic, which is a good phenomenon, indicating that "Secret Room" has successfully captured the hearts of the audience.

At this time, the first reversal begins.

"Oh fuck, I didn't guess the cop was the murderer, the clue is already obvious. A young man cried out in frustration.

Another young man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, Jack, I have a hunch that this is not the final answer. ”

Even Olivia couldn't help but turn her head and ask him, "Yang, can you tell me how those people died?" I feel incredible, even a murderer can't kill someone in such a strange way." ”

Yang Yang smiled mysteriously and replied, "Be patient, you will soon be able to see the truth." ”

Yang Yang listened to one or two exclamations that sounded from time to time in the field, and he was in a good mood. He likes the feeling that the audience will never guess where the plot will go next, and he has a sense of accomplishment.

On the screen, the actor played by Yang Yang stabbed the vicious murderer to death, and the audience's hearts were put down at once, and after all, the good guy won. Then the door of the secret room opened, and the kind hero and heroine regained their daylight, like a happy ending, although the audience could accept it, but they always felt that there was a little less flavor compared to the middle, and there were still a few loopholes that had not been filled, and there were still shortcomings.

"It's not over yet. Someone shouted.

The true face of "Secret Room" is finally revealed, and it turns out to be the spiritual world of a schizophrenic patient. Then, everything before can be explained, and those details that seem to be poorly considered by the screenwriter and director have become the most interesting details, which make the audience admire.

"Yang, you're a genius. Olivia praised Yang Yang in amazement and looked at him with colorful ripples in his eyes: "I love this movie." ”

Yang Yang smiled slightly, "Miss Olivia, if you don't look up, you will miss the real ending." ”

"And?!" Olivia hurriedly turned around.

A terrifying open-ended ending, in the end, whether good wins or evil continues to dominate, the audience is still unsatisfied.

It wasn't until the subtitles were finished and all the lights in the screening room were on that they were convinced that this was the real ending and got up to leave.

"It's definitely the best short film I've seen in the last few days. ”

"It's a pity that the time is a little shorter, it would be nice if it was a long movie. ”

"The director of this film is such a genius. ”

...

Yang Yang listened to the unanimous praise and amazement of the departing audience, and was greatly satisfied.

The hard work I put into "Secret Room" was really not in vain, and I still have a bit of directing talent.

Olivia's face still had a huge exclamation on her face that did not dissipate, she looked at Yang Yang and sighed: "Yang, I didn't expect you to be such an excellent director." ”

"You've won the prize. Yang Yang modestly replied: "This is my first attempt, and there are still many shortcomings. ”

"You're saying this is your first film?" asked Olivia, surprised.

"Yes, the preparation is just a short film, only fifty minutes, isn't it?" Yang Yang spread his hands.

Olivia shook her head and said in disbelief: "Yang, I have to say again, you are really a genius, a genius of the director. Alas.. If only "Save the Past" could let you direct. ”

Olivia sighed, and Yang Yang comforted: "Believe me, we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." That's certainly a better script than Save the Past. ”

Olivia smiled and nodded, "I'm looking forward to it." ”

The first batch of audiences of "Secret Room" did a good word-of-mouth publicity for it, praising its exquisite conception and wonderful plot, many people came to watch it, and the number of screenings increased one after another. Even, before the film shortlist came out, "Secret Room" was already well-known at the film festival.

Many people have heard that Huaxia, who came to participate in the selection this time, seems to have brought a very good short film.
