Chapter 229: Review, "Battle Royale"
"Old Geng, it's our turn again. The sound of greeting rang out in the small screening room.
"Yes, what are you going to try today?" replied the middle-aged man called Lao Geng.
"There are two movies today, the first is an American blockbuster called ...... "The Day After Tomorrow", and the second is the movie "Battle Royale" directed by Fan Cheng. A slightly younger staff member replied.
"Battle Royale? doesn't sound like Fan Cheng's work. ”
"Don't you know? Fan Cheng filmed a work that was said to be very cruel, and when he reviewed the script before, he scared the group of people in the script team into a cold sweat. ”
"What cruelty, hahaha, don't you know who he is? A funny artist, what can this kind of person make a serious movie? Do you forget what Stephen Chow said? Many of the scenes in his movies are actually very serious, and he doesn't want to be funny at all. ”
"Is that so?"
"Believe me, it's right! Fan Cheng can only have two possibilities for any cruel work, either he is not sick and moaning, which is not scaring and tells a bad story, or it is serious and scary, but in the eyes of others, it is extremely funny, just like those comedians!"
"I'm relieved, I don't like to watch horror movies the most, but I did this business, I want to watch it hard, and I feel uncomfortable for days after watching it every time. A female reviewer said.
"By the way, in that case, should I bring my daughter in, she is a super fan of Fan Cheng, and I am very envious when I heard that I can see Fan Cheng's films in advance. ”
"We're judging the film, your daughter ......"
"I'll get her to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The person who proposed said.
"If you're not afraid of her leaking, bring her in, but you can say it, you will be responsible for anything in the future......"
"Of course, this is not the first time this has happened, and I know the severity. ”
After all that, the first American blockbuster began to be shown in the screening room, and halfway through the screening, a girl who looked to be sixteen years old at most slipped in and watched the movie with the adults.
This is also a very common situation, of course, there are many confidentiality measures for the organization of the state to approve films, but no matter how many confidentiality measures are taken, it is ultimately up to people to implement them, and after years of operation, it is inevitable that there will be such loopholes.
Of course, the staff of the review team still know the severity, the films they are reviewing now need to be kept strictly confidential, and the version of the film sent by the producer will be different every time, once it is leaked, it is clear which version was leaked at a glance, if it is really their link that has been leaked, then the entire review team will be punished.
Therefore, although outsiders will be brought in, only the closest people will be brought in, and it is impossible for the seven aunts and eight aunts to be brought in.
The sixteen-year-old girl looked very excited, obviously the American blockbuster on the screen would not make her so excited, and the girl was looking forward to the work of Fan Chengfan Sanshu in the future.
"The Day After Tomorrow" on the screen continues to be screened, this is the most high-profile American blockbuster that entered China this year, and now the version they are watching is not the final version, so many scenes in the film are still a little rough, and even some special effects have not been made well, which is also a very common situation when reviewing movies, after all, the film review mainly looks at whether the overall plot and violence and other pictures are over the line, and will not pursue the problem of one or two shots.
The screening of "The Day After Tomorrow" was completed quickly, the lights in the small screening hall were lit up, and the review team began to discuss the film just now.
"The rating of this movie, which is PG-13 in the United States and IIA on Hong Kong Island, is generally a movie that is not very suitable for teenagers......"
The mainland's film classification system mainly refers to Hong Kong Island, which is divided into four grades: Class I, IIA and IIB, and Class III, of which Level I is suitable for all audiences, and the dividing line between Level II and IIB is seven and thirteen years old respectively, and Level III is eighteen years old.
However, because Chinese artists also have a rating system, all movie ratings do not emphasize the level but directly refer to the age number, grade I is suitable for everyone to watch, and then over seven years old, thirteen years old and eighteen years old.
"In that case, "The Day After Tomorrow" is set to Level IIB, do you have any opinions?"
Everyone raised their hands in support of the speaker's opinion, and soon the classification of the day after tomorrow was decided.
It's very fast, which is also normal, after all, this is a work that has long been rated and even released in other countries, and there are other countries' ratings as examples, and it is basically unlikely that Huaxia will adopt other grades, otherwise it will be very noisy.
Film classification, the first country and region to make the classification is the most important, for the mainland, the classification of foreign countries and other regions has always been relatively easy, and only the mainland itself The film submitted for review for the first time is the most important.
For example, this is the case with the next "Battle Royale".
The conversation quickly shifted to Battle Royale.
"Fan Cheng hopes to get the IIB rating. Someone said.
"Are the requirements so low?" someone asked, the classification of the movie, for the producers, they must hope that the lower the grade, the better, the difference between the IIB and III grades is a few years, which is likely to mean that there are tens of millions of moviegoers, and there is a gap of tens or even tens of millions at the final box office, especially for an existence like Fan Cheng, who has always been very popular with young people, and a large part of his potential movie audience is between thirteen and eighteen years old.
"If it's such a low requirement, then we don't have anything to worry about, we can't really give Fan Cheng an eighteen ban. Someone smiled lightly.
Fan Cheng is now a top artist producer in China, such a director and creator, every work is concerned by many people, and if the review agency lists his works as the eighteen bans, it will cause great repercussions in society.
After a few relaxed chats, Fan Cheng's movie on the big screen began.
Before the start of the movie, the first thing that appeared was the logo of Dongbao Film and Television Production, Fan Cheng's works, North Group and other investment companies, and then, with a blood-red background, a series of text introductions appeared in front of the review team.
"At the beginning of the century, a country collapsed, unemployment exceeded 15%, the number of unemployed people exceeded 10 million, and the number of students who refused to go to school exceeded 800,000......"
The unemployment rate of 15% and the number of unemployed are tens of millions, so that the audience immediately knows that the movie describes a much smaller country than China, and if China has an unemployment rate of 15%, it will be hundreds of millions of unemployed.
"Juvenile delinquency is increasing, adults are losing self-confidence, and because they are afraid of teenagers, a bill has been passed......"
The New Century Education Reform Act, abbreviated as ...... BR Act. ”
After a brief introductory text, the movie officially begins.
The swarming media, accompanied by the introduction of the female reporter: "Selected from the 43,000 classes of senior high school students across the country, it is the students of the third class B of the middle school in four places of a certain school, this year's game is more white-hot than in previous years, ah, it's out, the winner is out!"
With the introduction of the female reporter, the helicopter's camera was aimed at the only girl left on the island.
After two days of 22 hours and 43 minutes of drama, the one who stood out was a beautiful girl!"
The camera focuses on the girl.
"It's Wen Zhen!......? Cameo?ah!!" In the screening room, the young girl who was brought in by the loophole shouted in surprise, she saw that on the movie screen, the girl named Wen Zhen, who usually gives people a cute and cute impression, was carrying a doll with a distorted face in her hand at the moment, her double ponytail was messy, her face was black and covered with mud and blood, and the same was true of her school uniform.
The cute girl has such a bloody and terrible makeup, but this is not a reason for people to scream, the camera moves slightly, and the audience quickly sees the two people stepping under her.
It's Fan Xiaoqian and Qin Ruoxue!
The heroines of Fan Cheng's youth trilogy are here!
But the terrible thing is that among the three, there is obviously only one person alive!
The camera close-up returns to Wen Zhen's face again, and the girl, who has obviously just experienced a tragic battle, faces the camera with a strange and chilling smile.
"She laughed! She laughed! As the girl who won the victory, now facing the camera, she is indeed smiling incomparably!!" In the female reporter's hoarse report, Wen Zhen's smile became more and more weird, and in the close-up, you can even see that she still has orthodontic equipment in her mouth, which highlights her young teeth, and the horror that this shot brings to people at this moment!
At this point, the title of "Battle Royale" appears, and then immediately after, a group photo of the class appears in the shot.
The center of the group photo is obviously the sunny and handsome Fan Chengxiao who appeared as the head teacher, and around him, there is a group of teenagers and girls wearing "Fan Cheng school uniforms", that is, boys' suits and small dresses, and girls' sailor uniforms.
On the outside, this seems to be an ordinary class photo, but for the audience in the entire screening hall, they all have an ominous premonition.
There's no way, the shock brought to everyone in just a few tens of seconds is too great!
Wen Zhen appeared, the corpses of the other two girls at his feet, the smiles of the girls, and the bloodstains on the bodies of the three people, the tragic battle scene, such a picture...... Is this really Fan Cheng's work?
Those members of the review team who were still talking about Fan Cheng's work couldn't be terrible before, maybe it was actually a funny work, were a little regretful at this time, they realized that Fan Cheng's work might really be extraordinary!
Could it be the first case that I had speculated before? Will Fan Cheng's work be a work that is terrifying and tragic, but moans without illness and lacks quality?
The moderator who brought his daughter in looked at the daughter next to him and finally didn't say anything, and everyone had some concerns about Fan Cheng's works, but they couldn't completely determine whether the content met the viewing standards of teenagers.
The camera focuses on a handsome teenager in the photo.
In the background, the voice of an apparently teenager sounded: "In the fourth grade of elementary school, my mother ran away from home, and on the day of the start of high school, my father hanged himself......"
The camera cuts to a man hanging from his neck by a wire.
"Ah!" Not only the sixteen-year-old underage girl, but even many women in the censors couldn't help but scream, and the first shot of the movie showed the hanging scene so directly, the impact was not small.
The camera switches again, the hanged man is moved to the left side of the frame, and the middle subject of the shot, the last boy in the close-up of the photo, opens the door and walks in.
At the moment when he saw his father hanged, the things in the boy's hand fell to the ground.
He slowly knelt down.
Close-up again to the hanged man.
He had toilet paper wrapped around his neck, and the words "Qiu Ye, come on! Qiu Ye, come on!" were densely written on it, stretching from the man's corpse's neck to the toilet paper tube in the bathroom......
Qiu Ye, a young man who fell to his knees, finally couldn't help it when he saw such a picture, he crawled to the bathroom and vomited wildly.
"Like...... Everything is crazy...... I don't know what to do. ”
Then, the camera changed again, and the late girl pushed open the door of the classroom, only to see the teacher Fan Cheng sitting alone at the lectern in the classroom, and the blackboard behind him read: "For personal reasons, I will strike today - all students in Class B." ”
Obviously, all the teenagers and girls in this class skipped class together.
Well...... Except for the girl who just ran in.
Fan Cheng packed up his things and left, but was cut on the thigh by another classmate who suddenly came out with a knife in his hand, the knife fell to the ground, and the culprit ran away without care.
Fan Cheng stood up and reached out to touch his wound, and the good girl in the class ran out and picked up the knife that fell to the ground......
"After that, this teacher left our school......" Qiu Ye's voice sounded again.
"This is the world we live in, no matter what happens, we want to waste our youth like this carefree every day......" In the movie, the teenagers play basketball, and outside the court, the girls pretend to be cheerleaders.
"Then, our compulsory education is almost finished, and the graduation trip is our last activity before graduating from high school......"
Fan Cheng: There are not many schools in this world in China that implement such a thing as graduation travel.
On the bus, the teenagers and girls are playing happily, and the graduation trip or something will obviously be the most anticipated project.
But Qiu Ye suddenly discovered at this time, why did they always see a lot of army vehicles along the way?
At the end of their class, the new homeroom teacher realized the same problem as him.
But this thought was only fleeting in their minds, and soon something else interrupted their doubts.
The girl who had just appeared on the camera came to her shyly and timidly.
Qiu Ye ...... I've made cookies, shall we eat them together?" the girl whispered.
The graduation trip, the last memories of high school, the girl who fell in love for the first time, the classmates who spent three years together, everything seems so perfect.
