Tang Yin felt that his whole person was not good, it seemed that as long as he mentioned a small movie, all the people around him thought that he was going to return to his old business, and it seemed that this stain was difficult to wash away for a while. "I want a few actors with solid skills, half male and half female, the age must be over thirty years old, and one young one can be added to the female, but the acting skills must be reliable. I'm on my way right now, and the film will start filming when I get back. ”

Zhang Lan also knew at this time that she should have misunderstood Tang Yin, and her tone became gentle, "Don't you already have plans for two movies this year?" That schedule is already in a hurry, and now it's time to add another one, is it too late? Is your current identity so hard? ”

"It's okay, it's just a small movie, even the background layout is very simple, if you follow the line, it can be filmed in a few days, and it won't take too much time. I just want to try to make a new type of small film, there are too few films in our country in this area, it can be regarded as an experimental work, and it will not delay the process of other work. ”

Tang Yin said with a smile that he had checked the information in this area in the past few days. I don't know why, domestic movies in this time and space have almost the same side as another time and space, similar in many aspects, but the progress is different, so there are indeed too few domestic movies with this theme.

Speaking of which, the movie that Tang Yin thought of is actually very good, but the scene is a little simpler, but the plot and dialogue are first-class, so Tang Yin will have higher requirements for the actors' performances.

When Li Ming, a history professor at Kyoto University, abruptly resigned after 10 years of teaching, colleagues rushed to his outskirts of his home to see him off. These friends are historians, anthropologists, psychologists, and biologists who are explorers and forerunners of mankind's past, present, and future.

Li Ming's unspeakable reason for resignation made his friends suspicious, and finally under their repeated questioning, Li Ming finally told the secret in his heart: he has lived on earth for 14,000 years, is a prehistoric cave man, and is a complete experiencer of human history. He stays at 35 years old and never ages. Whenever he stayed in a certain place for 10 years, in order to prevent the people around him from discovering the secret of his immortality, he continued to migrate, changed his identity, and completely started another life.

The scholars began to laugh when they heard Li Ming's words, and no one took his words seriously. As night fell, such a small group listened to Li Ming's long story in front of the fire, and the conversations of the top figures in various disciplines collided with flickering sparks. The chill of early spring, as well as doubts and fears, gradually spread, and even their foundations were shaken by the universal logic of life and the world

Just when he was on the verge of psychological collapse, Li Ming suddenly reversed his statement: he was just making up a science fiction story. All the scholars were relieved after hearing this, but when Zhang Han, a white-haired psychology professor, said goodbye, he found that Li Ming was the father who said his mother said 70 years ago without saying goodbye, so the old man died of a heart attack.

Li Ming's calm gaze is like an ancient well, and in the face of his friends' huge emotional fluctuations and sharp questions, he answers them one by one with the attitude of a historical restorer and a witness. His epic narration takes the audience in the narrow living room through the Neolithic Age, the Yellow River Civilization, the Two Rivers Civilization, Ancient India, Industrial Society, World War I, and travels East and West.

And when people follow the plot and deduce it with the thinking of simulating "if I were a life that has traveled through 14,000 years", Li Ming's description becomes reasonable. The absurd begins to become strict, and the virtual begins to be real. It's like we often wonder in our dreams: Is this real? Science is never perfect, and when faced with the unknown, it is equally difficult to "prove nothing" and "prove something".

As a result, people are forced to go in the other direction by the step-by-step deduction -- if Li Ming is reasonable, then many of the known historical and human logic are unreasonable. This kind of vacillation seems to come from the roots, and people begin to rethink and interrogate known civilizations in tension. The known is always safe, the unknown is dangerous, and overthrowing is devastating. This is the reason why the whole film looks gentle and elegant, but the sense of crampedness is ubiquitous, and it is also what many exaggerated sci-fi blockbusters try their best to do but can't.

The setting of the identity of the characters in the film is also very interesting. Kyoto University's top experts in various disciplines are the holders of academic tools to explore the human heart and the unknown world, and represent the authoritative voice of each specialty. The master made a move, and his thoughts collided, but he was beaten by Li Ming with a thousand catties of four or two, and he lost his armor. With the continuous collapse of the solid knowledge system, the audience also began to think about the boundary between the known and the unknown, which is uncertain and always relative.

Just when the heart was about to fall, the lamp turned on - this symbol of modern civilization, like the roar of the Shaolin King Kong lion, pulls people back to the familiar civilized world and flips the chess game. Li Ming couldn't bear to hurt the minds of his friends, so he had to change his words and say that Yiqiē was just a science fiction novel conceived by him.

This is a movie that Tang Yin has watched many times, a brown oak with a simple appearance and a firm inside, its aroma is just right for this cold and tranquil, but active early spring season. The original cost of this movie was said to be only $10,000, but it gained hundreds of millions.

"Okay, then you shoot. What is the name of the movie? Do you need me to spread the word? And how to arrange the worship of God when you turn on? When Tang Yin was pondering, Zhang Lan immediately crackled and said a bunch of things, she had quickly entered the work mode.

"The name of the movie is "This Man is from the Earth", let's send it out, although it is a small movie, but the publicity is still indispensable. You can also arrange it for you to worship God when you turn on the machine, the leading actors this time are not big names, so let's warm up their popularity first. Tang Yin originally wanted to start the camera quietly, but then he thought about it and publicized it.

It was a controversial film, and it didn't do well at the box office, and the film's prestige was in the DVD market. Therefore, Tang Yin does not guarantee what the result of opening such a movie by himself will be in the state of complete barrenness of domestic science fiction movies.

"This man is from Earth? Sci-fi? Zhang Lan immediately asked with her characteristic sensitivity. Our domestic science fiction novels have developed well over the years, but there are very few science fiction movies, this kind of movie has too many variables at the box office, and you use all some actors who are not very popular, which is ......"

"It's kind of a science fiction movie. It doesn't matter how the box office is, the cost of this movie won't be too high, if it pounces, it's just like I played it willfully, and I lost my reputation and face. The domestic science fiction film market needs to be cultivated, and we can't let other countries go ahead of us. ”
