Chapter 71: Silent Love
The camera pushes closer to the fragment of the cup, and then pulls back from the reflection of the fragment, and the screen is a mess of real yàn room, and only the middle one is missing from the row of large and small sealed bottles, and there is no doubt that the sealed bottle with the "finished product" on it is gone.
An old-fashioned cell phone left in the real yàn room began to ring non-stop, Donna, Liqi, Donna, Liqi......
Matthew is missing.
The short film uses a technique commonly used in science fiction films, with the camera following her cell phone and communication lines all the way to Donna's bedroom, where she puts it down and frowns as she prepares for bed.
A frowning brow indicates that she has entered a dream.
The familiar library, then the beach, the sun is peaceful, the colors are warm, but the rhythm of the soundtrack is slowly picking up, the wild bed scenes, the pie duì dancing, the emphatic shots flashing again and again, the ubiquitous Matthew and the broken cup he handed over, Donna drinking, drinking.
Donna in the hot dance re-emerged from one shoulder of Matthew, but suddenly became Liqi, the camera pulled back, and the whole scene instantly became a black swan nightclub.
The camera flashes to Liqi in a deep sleep, who is also sleeping comfortably and frowning, which is used to explain the previous switch.
Now it's Liki's dream.
In Jossen's rapid and complex transitions, there is always an almost straightforward parallel to Donna and Liqi's commonality to Matthew. This ensures the integrity of the whole short film so far.
The same Impressionist pattern cup, the same from the wild black swan to the library.
At this moment, Donna and Liqi seemed to form a circle.
Donna has gone from being a queen of pie to being a good girl in the library, and Liqi has been transformed from an oriental long-haired girl in the library to a queen of nightclubs.
And the cup that keeps flashing is the culprit.
Split screen, split screen again, Donna and Liki appear in the same scene again.
Donna pulled out a large box from under the bed, filled with rivets, leather coats, and rock records, while Lizzie pulled out a photo album from her desk drawer, white dress, long hair, and a gentle smile.
Both Jessica and Quigley gave the best performances in the whole film.
Donna's face is shocked, incredulous, and frantic after discovering that her life has taken a radical turn without knowing it, while Quigley is filled with fear, avoidance, and trepidation.
At this moment, the standard qualities that belong to the West and the East clearly dominate them.
The camera returns to Matthew's house.
Donna and Lizzie meet.
At the very least, the two smart girls didn't stage a jealousy fight, they looked at each other and understood that each other's experiences were extremely similar, so they began to work together to find clues.
and eventually found an address in a commemorative book.
That's where Matthew grew up.
Towards the end of the short film, Matthew went back to his original place to do what he was doing, what was it that developed the drug and changed the personalities of Donna and Liqi? What is the purpose?
The biggest suspense of the whole film is about to be revealed.
Donna drove Liqi in the car, and they stormed the mixed gathering place.
Getting out of the car, Donna's expression changed suddenly, and when Liqi noticed it, she followed her gaze.
In the sun, Matthew was casually dressed and smiling, and he was holding a small, thin black child with an impressionistic glass on his right hand, and the child looked at him, his white teeth glittering.
Not far away, white kids in the upscale neighborhood are playing American football.
This concludes the video.
There are no critics or investors who watch the film, they are all pure creators of the film.
Everyone was silent, even Jossen Zhu, the initial excitement precipitated after watching the film.
The whole film is 21 minutes, and the tricks and techniques in the front are fresh, but not shocking, but the appearance of the last scene, Sharon Adams's touch has made a scene, the tone, composition, the naturalness of the little girl actor, Daniel's original smile, the half-round sunset, the jagged slums and the background of the high-end community.
This completely condenses the whole short film.
"Perfect." Ferguson sighed comfortably.
……
The people who came out of USC were obviously a lot more relaxed, and many of the methods used in the short film were clearly not for the audience, too frequent and fast switching, large amounts of information, and lack of foreshadowing and explanation, all of which showed that it would not be a popular work for ordinary people, but there is no doubt that the audience that "Silent Love" needs to face is not ordinary people.
Steven Spielbert, George Lucas, Robert Zemeckis and Ron Howard, each of whom is a giant of the film industry, are not ordinary people, and their perspective and understanding of movies are far from being comparable to ordinary people.
It's going to be to their liking, at least, that's what Ferguson told everyone.
Of course, until now, except for Jessica, who is shooting some small-budget movies that may not have a chance to be released, to exercise her acting skills, everyone is busy with things that are more important to them, except for Jossen, of course.
Quigley also got a new opportunity with Guò Ferguson, playing a grocery store proprietress on a CBS TV series for about two episodes and a $3,000 pay.
As for Daniel, Kusa and Universal are in close contact, and it is impossible for Universal to sit idly by and watch Daniel's media effect, and the huge investment in "Gladiator" means that the box office pressure is also very high. Then any factor that can promote the box office will be considered by Universal, and there is no doubt about it.
In the face of a giant studio like Universal, Kusa and Daniel are a little weaker, and even more, CAA, which can have some say, is not very active now.
So Kusa had to find ways to fight for conditions and operating space.
Daniel also has to consult with Kusa at all times, so although he is now in a rare gap since entering the industry, he is no worse than when he was filming.
"Langley hopes that you can do something to win over young fans, and you know that this young person does not mean fans around 20 years old, but 13 to 17 years old, which is about the same range."
"If I'm not mistaken, the MPAA should have rated Gladiator R, which means that viewers under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent."
Kusa gave you an understandable look, and Universal's meaning was of course very clear, and they wanted to attract this audience that was excluded by the classification system, and even let them drive adult parents to watch the movie.
Daniel is indeed blessed with the attention of young people, because young people in this age group have a strong interest in the Internet, and Daniel is famous on the Internet, even surpassing some successful people. But that doesn't translate directly into box office, and if Daniel calls for it on his blog, who's to believe that many people will heed it?
It's not for nothing that the internet is seen as a "place of change", and often they can give you inflated popularity and attention without paying a penny, at least for now.
"What do they want me to do?"
"You have to be cooler, young people hate people who are perfect in everything, they naturally have anti-perfection symptoms. But at the same time, you can't turn parents off – because in the end they pay for the movie tickets. Of course, your own image still needs to fit our plan, and you can't be Daniel today and become a male version of Lindsay Lohan tomorrow, which will obviously ruin you as well. ”
"Well, it's a problem, we'll have to figure it out."
