Shen Xudong's Weibo fans are close to 35 million, ranking in the top 20...

He has never bought followers and rarely advertises, so the comments on each post are tens of thousands, and the number of retweets is also amazing.

Tianmei Media's publicity resources are very strong, coupled with Shen Xudong's deliberate guidance, "Earth Fire" has become the 'first domestic heavy industry film'...

The trailer of "Earth Fire" is very well edited, and the director played by Chen Daoming is in charge of the crowd of black presses: "In the past 100 years, how many disasters and disasters our mine has experienced, who can still remember it?" This is not a short time, comrades, four or five generations! For so long, we should always write down something, we should always learn something. If you really can't remember anything, you can't learn anything, you should always write down and learn one thing, that is, the sky, it can't fall! ”

In the next second, after the black screen switch of the disaster, it cuts directly to the sound of a helicopter, giving a close-up of a large number of planes entering the source of the hellish scarlet disaster - the whole city burns up!

The paralysis of traffic has caused a large number of residents to flee on foot, and officers and soldiers have distributed breathing masks at every intersection, and even then, there are still people covering their mouths and noses with clothing.

The scene shifts to the People's Liberation Army's march in the opposite direction of the flow of people.

The camera is cut again, Liu Xin played by Deng Chao...

He sat still.

"You can't pay for this sin", after speaking, Wu Jing led the few remaining caretakers to leave.

Hurried footsteps echoed in the empty waiting room, tapering and then vanishing...

Deng Chao raised his head, he had lost a lot of weight, the big dark circles under his eyes set off the sunken eyes, and he was almost human...

December 30 - "Earth Fire": Shocking Release!

……

No. 30, Shanghai.

At the end of each year, there are a bunch of activities in the circle, a variety of forums, seminars...

Zhou Liming had just finished attending an event, looked at the time, and at half past two in the afternoon, he simply went to a movie theater closest to the venue...

He has always been interested in "Earthfire" - a domestic sci-fi disaster movie!

Zhou Liming is a well-known film critic in the mainland.

In fact, mainland film critics are quite embarrassed, because mainland film critics do not have an accurate standard, and for film critics, only the number of movies watched is used as the standard, which is obviously a bit too low.

Having watched a lot of movies may only mean that too much time has been wasted in watching movies.

The gestures of some film critics are less like criticizing or appreciating a movie, but more like a judgment.

Later, under the guidance of Internet traffic as the king, the once serious movie reviews have also become illustrated online articles, because many WeChat accounts have also been financed, and there is also pressure of 100,000+...

In the original time and space, compared with the surging scolding of "The Great Wall", in front of "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic", the critics were collectively silent - because there was traffic in scolding "The Great Wall", but few people were willing to watch "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic"!

Even a bunch of UP masters at station B will say good things with a conscience for the sake of money...

Generally speaking, it is not easy to blow a bad movie well, but there are many people who talk nonsense with their eyes open...

"Dream Showbiz" can be blown into a flower - has neither strength nor experience, but simply eats in this medium.

As a result, although the current stage of the film and television criticism system has - BJ Film Critics Association, Shanghai Film Critics Association or something, it is basically not credible!

However, after the debate with "Little Times", Zhou Liming became famous, and made a program "Human Movie Cannon" with several film critics, which will be broadcast on PPTV, but the click rate is not good - too dry!

Pulled back, got to the cinema and saw a group of people queuing ... Get Tickets - Cat's Eye Terminal...

After thinking about it, I took out my mobile phone, clicked on the cat's eye, and looked at the price - 19.9...

Forget it, let's line up to buy a ticket, and then the conductor persuaded him to 'place an order directly from WeChat, and then go to the terminal to scan the code...'

;

Hurriedly clicked on WeChat, and sure enough, Jiugongge had a cat's eye sign 'Movie, Performance and Entertainment' to open it, and the direct homepage was '"Earth Fire" is being screened'...

The ticket price is also 19.9...

By the way, I took a look at the ticket prices of other movies ... It's basically around 25 yuan...

Tsk, the competition between platforms for the market ended up cheapening the audience!

Oh, some time ago, Maoyan announced the financing news: Maoyan received a strategic investment of 1.5 billion from Tengxun, and after the investment was completed, Tencent became the second largest shareholder of Maoyan Films, and Maoyan's valuation has exceeded 12 billion...

There is no discussion about this matter in the circle, mainly because of envy and emotion, the one who engages in the Internet is rich!

After collecting the tickets, I queued up to go to the cinema...

……

At the beginning of the movie, there is a narration: coal miners, the oldest job that accompanied the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, are still fulfilling their mission!

Liu Xin's father is a coal miner...

Zhou Liming immediately realized that this was a sandwich structure!

- Narrative and lyricism are blended together.

Generally, this kind of narrative film is bound to be accompanied by a lot of pauses - it will stop from time to time in the narrative to let you appreciate the surrounding environment of the characters, and let you feel the inner emotions of the characters.

Then the picture opened, some yellowed white tones, hospital, Liu Xin knelt beside the bed, and it was Wu Mengda who played his father... Father struggled to speak...

"What daddy? What are you talking about, Dad? ”

The father's protruding eyes were fixed on his son, and the murmur of his dying breath repeated more rapidly... Liu Xin screamed hoarsely again.

The narrator sounded: "Liu Xin entered a trance, he didn't know how his mother fainted in front of the hospital bed, and he didn't know how the nurse took the oxygen tube from his father's nostrils, he only heard the murmur echoing in his head, and every syllable was engraved in his memory, as accurately as engraved on a record... He was like that for a few months until his mom told him, 'It's time for you to pick up your dad's class!' ’”

The screen switched, Liu Xin took the lunch box, went to the mine, changed into work clothes, and followed a group of workers to the black wellhead...

He suddenly woke up, and his father's last words: "Don't go down the well..."

Immediately went to the mine manager.

"We have two places to go to college, or you can go to college!"

"University?"

"Yes!"

The end of the opening credits - the title of "Earthfire" appears...

Zhou Liming decisively became interested, because the picture, photography and scheduling transitions of this movie are fantastic, giving people a kind of... Hollywood movie-like texture!

It's hard to talk about the quality of the film, but the director of photography for "Earthfire" is Roger Deakins...

That's right, Roger Deakins was paid $5 million alone!

What Shen Xudong wants is a naturalistic image style - to put it simply, the logic of the light source, such as the fact that there can be no multiple shadows in the Japanese opera, and the picture must not be soft flat light or butterfly light...

The $5 million is mainly to arrange for photographers to learn with the group...

Documentary style!

And then look down...
