The movie starts with a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The first shot is a dreary sky, with endless rain.

This movie is about three young people who go on a treasure hunt, but they encounter a lot of bizarre things on the way to the treasure hunt, and finally encounter misfortune and a bizarre death.

From the end of the story, it's a tragedy. But this movie is not the kind of movie where the story flows.

Judging from the first third of the movie, the shell of this movie is three young people living in hunger and cold, because they accidentally got the news of a treasure, and in order to find that treasure, they embarked on the road of treasure hunting. The story is set in an era of war and ghosts, the road is difficult, at first they are full of ambition, but after experiencing various dangers and tribulations in the middle, there are disputes, contradictions and conflicts between the three people, and their temperament changes greatly.

More and more strange things are happening to them.

There was a blind old woman who said that the three of them were cursed.

The contradiction between them grew bigger and bigger, some people wanted to leave and go home, at this time, one night, suddenly it rained heavily, they hurried through the mountains and forests to find shelter, and then, in the distance, saw a temple with a glimmer of light.

……

The temple in the lens is secluded and secluded, in the vast mountains and forests, like a bean fire, shrouded and covered by the dark rain that will be extinguished at any time.

Such a sudden shot suddenly appeared in front of the audience, and with a cold howl like a female ghost whimpering, it appeared in front of everyone.

Then, the camera slowly zooms in and closes to the entrance of the temple, where a silhouette inside the temple appears in front of you.

The temple was ordinary, small, gray inside, nothing there, and the walls were cracked and folded.

A man sat in the temple, and a fire was raised in front of him, and the light of the fire shone on his face, a very young face.

This face was a little handsome, as if it had been drained of its soul in the flickering firelight, his eyes were blank, his face was numb, as if he was as silent as a withered tree, as if even the firelight could not awaken any light in his eyes.

"It's coming!" Lu Yanhe exclaimed in his heart, and at the same time, he was also shocked by his own shot.

He almost didn't recognize himself.

Wang Chong seems to specifically not want everyone to be able to recognize him easily, whether it is the makeup and shooting angle, or the color tone and light and shadow in the later stage, they have all been processed, so that he in the lens is slightly different from him in reality.

Of course, the main thing is that the charm and temperament on the body are completely different.

Wintour Robey had already seen the film before its premiere today.

When he watched this film at that time, he was deeply impressed by this young actor who only appeared for ten minutes.

A fresh face that blooms with an amazing brilliance is always a surprise.

The film and television industry is like this, people are always looking forward to fresh faces.

So, after watching this movie, Wintour Robbe went to investigate the young actor.

For a film festival, its status in the film industry depends on how many directors it can excavate and how many famous films it can bring out in film history.

For the film industry, where an outstanding actor is known from everyone also affects the influence of this film festival.

This kind of thing, inexplicable, unclear, is only in the heart of every filmmaker.

Before Lu Yanhe did not cross, although the three major European film festivals had great influence and high status, in terms of international influence, no matter what you say, they are actually not as good as the American Oscars. No matter what angle or argument is used to say that the rules of the game of the "Oscar" itself are America's own awards, it does not mean that it is superior to other film awards - the fact is that in all aspects, the American film Academy Awards are the most influential and an honor that the film industry wants to receive. There is no why, just because it is the top award in this field.

However, in this world after Lu Yanhe crossed over, although the Academy Awards still have a pivotal position, they are not a unique existence, and the four major international film festivals can compete with it in terms of international influence.

In order to compete with the four major international film festivals, the selection scope of the Academy Awards has become wider and wider - in recent years, Asian films have been shortlisted, and his members have become more and more international, trying to recruit the top film talents from all over the world and make it an award voted by the world's top industry personnel. This is similar to the original idea of the World Academy Awards.

Wintour Robey is optimistic about Lu Yanhe, a young man, so he pays more attention to it, and sincerely hopes that he can make better scenes in the future and bring more works to the Seatur Film Festival.

The entire movie theater was silent.

Almost all the audience was fascinated by this young fortune teller who suddenly appeared on the screen.

Fortune tellers are not unique cultural figures in China, and in foreign countries, there are also goddesses, wizards, and prophets, so it is not difficult for foreign audiences to understand the existence of fortune tellers.

With the change of Lu Yanhe's expression, which is both true and false, dreamy and illusory, as if he is evil, many film critics in film magazines have been caught by this type and state of characters that they have barely seen, and they can't take their eyes off the screen, forgetting to write with the pen in their hands.

Professional film critics often watch movies with notebooks and pens, and memorize them as they watch them, so as not to forget some details.

At this moment, the young, handsome and somewhat embarrassed man on the screen, as if he had been born out of nowhere, suddenly appeared and caught their attention unexpectedly.

-

As the chief film critic of the French magazine Cinéma, Louis Deluc has always been a very demanding film critic.

Especially for a long-established director like Wang Chong, his evaluation will be even more harsh. However, because his film critics often have something to say, he can pinpoint the real faults in the movie, and he can stand in the perspective of film history and give an unambiguous positioning to the new masterpieces that emerge every year, which is rare among film critics who dare to speak, spicy and can be respected by many filmmakers.

In foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, the influence of film critics' evaluation on a film is much higher than that in China.

This is because the development of European and American films has been very long and has been developed along with the propaganda of traditional media. The film critic's film review column plays a crucial role in whether the audience walks into the cinema to watch the movie. In China, because the film industry developed relatively late, when it entered the market vigorously, the traditional media, especially the film criticism, has become obsolete with the development of the times, and basically does not constitute an important part of the promotion and distribution of a film - this has caused film reviews to have almost no impact on the domestic film box office, but the operation of online marketing, scoring platform scores and topics have a greater impact on the box office of a movie.

Although the publicity and distribution of European and American films are increasingly influenced by the Internet, and there have been many changes, the evaluation and scoring of film critics are still one of the most important influencing factors before and early on the release of a movie.

At the festival, their presence is even more significant.

After all, there are very few people who can come to the film festival in person and buy tickets to watch these films, and most of the world's fans pay attention to these films at the film festival from the ratings of the house magazine, media reputation, etc. This means that the evaluation of the media is the first impression of the world of the film that has its world premiere at the festival.

The role and influence of film critics are infinitely amplified under the special mechanism of the film festival.

For a top film critic like Louis Deluc, his attitude is even more important.

When Louis Deluc watched the movie "Three Mountains", his expression was always serious.

This is because he is not used to people reading any information from his face.

As soon as the movie began, Louis Deluc was seriously involved in Wang Chong's film.

He has basically seen all the works of this Chinese director. He must admit that he does not like Wang Chong's work too much. Because Wang Chong's movies always give people a sense of pretentiousness. In Wang Chong's films, they are full of all kinds of imagery, which seem to contain some deep meaning, but if you study it carefully, you can't get anything concrete.

There are many directors who like toy imagery, Wang Chong's advantage is that he plays to the extreme, and those elements of ancient Chinese traditional culture are newly arranged and combined by him in the movie, giving people a feeling that they have never had before in the movie.

Just like the movie "Three Mountains", the tone of the whole movie is written with the word "supernatural", and the words of each paragraph reveal the meaning of "borrowing from the past to satirize the present".

I want to hide something, but I hide it too explicitly, in fact, I just can't hide it.

This is Louis Deluck's evaluation of Wang Chong's films, and in the movie "Three Mountains", he still feels this way.

Of course, the techniques of this movie are more mature, and compared with Wang Chong's previous more obscure films, "Three Mountains" is at least a story that ordinary audiences will be brought into, and it will not make people drowsy.

Louis Deluc had almost had an evaluation of "Three Mountains" in his heart, until the scene when the mountain temple suddenly appeared.

Starting from that whistling that seemed to be a female ghost's whimper, it was as if the heavenly spirit cover had been blown by someone.

Louis Druc's mind lifted up a little after a little slackening.

For film critics, of course, they also pay attention to the performance of the actor - the performance of the actor is the most important medium of expression for a film. However, for a film critic like Louis Deluc, he actually values the director's discipline and attitude more than the actor. He didn't expect that he would suddenly be attracted by this character who appeared in the middle.

Wang Chong is actually not a director who can shoot actors. His film style also determines that it is difficult for an actor to have an outstanding performance in his films. Because the characters in his movie will be covered by the atmosphere of the movie itself, just like the three young people in "Three Mountains", of course, they play well, but they are very superficial, or in other words, the characters themselves are superficial, and the movie has not tried to dig out the complex side of these characters, all of them are pushed by the story and environment, like a puppet.

The fortune teller who appeared in the movie is qualitatively different from the three protagonists.

Maybe many ordinary viewers can only feel that this character is a little different as soon as he appears, and it is not clear what is different, but a senior film critic like Louis Deluc can see the difference at a glance.

The difference is that this fortune teller is alive, he is like a living person in the movie, you see him, you see him as if you see him in reality - you don't feel like a character in action, but like a real being, he has the heavy experience of his past life, and the sense of story emanates from his lost pupils, expressionless face and silent gesture in a way that does not need to be deliberately announced.

Young actors.

The old monk settled.

As the three young men entered the temple, they cautiously approached him.

From time to time, the beat of the drum sounded at the point where one of them finished saying a certain sentence.

It's like a play on a stage.

It's like some kind of storytelling.

Louis Druc was not aware of it at first, but as the young fortune teller suddenly seemed to come back to his soul, his eyes lit up, revealing his mad posture of depression or madness, and the rhythm of the drums seemed to increase little by little.

The drum beat seems to match the rhythm and movement of this fortune teller.

"What am I talking about?!"

"I never tell nonsense!"

"A few of you, if you don't find me to calculate a hexagram and find a way to crack it for you, you will die one by one!"

A large number of his words came out one after the other, and suddenly accompanied by a dive shot of him slamming towards someone, forming a visual stimulus, coupled with the tone in which he spoke more and more urgently, and a look of eagerness that seemed to fall into some kind of self-talk.

The fortune teller suddenly remembered something and looked up.

The drum beat violently.

The camera focused on his face that suddenly froze, the eyes that suddenly froze, if it weren't for the shadow of the flame still shaking on his face, the moment of stagnation seemed to have stood still.

Then, an uncanny look of horror welled up in his eyes.

He stared at the three of them, as if he saw in them an incredible, indescribable horror.

The camera slowly pulls away from his face, zooming out.

In front of him, the three young men were also frightened, and at the same time a little overwhelmed, their whole bodies seemed to freeze, and only their eyes looked at each other cautiously with fear.

The scene in front of me shows the entire interior of the mountain temple.

Nothing.

There are no ghosts, and there are no horrors that pop up out of nowhere.

But in this almost solidified, confrontational picture, a layer of creepy feeling emerged in the hearts of many viewers.

He suddenly broke down and screamed, and then, rolling and crawling, turned around and ran out of the mountain temple, without saying a word, like a demon, disappearing into the black rain curtain outside the door.

The camera jerks everything.

The porcelain statue in the mountain temple, which is only half a meter tall and cannot be recognized as a god or Buddha, has a layer of ash on its smiling appearance.

Under the swaying light and shadow of the flames, the smiling lips of the figure seem to be frozen.

Seem?

……

After this night, the three of them seemed to have suffered a serious illness, and they collapsed one by one.

Some chose to stop and stop looking for the ethereal treasure.

The other two continued.

Greed and hatred, life and death dreams.

The audience who watched this movie also seemed to have been drained of a little bit of their energy after the end of the night, and suddenly died.

Louis Druc thought to himself that this was like the inevitable exhaustion after an extreme emotional release.

When the film reaches the end, three young people die one after another, including the one who chooses to stop and never move forward.

The last scene of the movie is the scene when the young man who stopped moving forward was buried, several people buried him and erected a grave.

Louis Druc's mind suddenly conjured up the back of the fortune teller running away.

It's hard to describe Louis Druc's mood at this moment. He rarely came across a movie, and he couldn't sort out the words or words to express his evaluation of the movie at the first time. He felt as if he was immersed in an inexplicable emotion, the world in this movie was a world that he had never entered at all, but he was like having a nightmare, woke up, found that he was still in a dream, and woke up again, but he didn't know if he really woke up, what was true and what was false.

-

The film screening ends.

There was silence in the screening room.

After about three to five seconds, there was some applause, and then the applause slowly increased, and finally, it converged into a tidal wave.

Wang Zhong stood up with a few actors, faced the audience, and bowed to everyone.

The filmmakers who sat next to them and were invited to watch the movie said words of congratulations.

Lu Yanhe still didn't come back to his senses, he didn't know what to say - he actually didn't understand it.

Of course, he didn't understand it, but although he didn't understand it, he was shocked.

Movies can still be made like this.

Almost everyone is congratulating them from the bottom of their hearts for making a great film.

The applause lasted about three or four minutes.

Jia Long shook Lu Yanhe's hand vigorously and shook it, and there was a trace of envy in his tone that he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"It's going to be one of your best performances." Jia Long said, "Yan He, you will definitely give a lot of good performances in the future, but I dare to say that there will definitely not be another performance that can surpass your performance in this movie, I am creepy, my heart is beating faster, you cow." ”

Lu Yanhe smiled blankly.

He scratched his head.

So exaggerated?

came to express to him that the people who were shocked by him were one after another, and Lu Yanhe slowly accepted everyone's evaluation in his heart.

After the premiere, there was a change of show.

They have to cooperate with the media and photographers to take pictures and complete the relevant publicity work.

After that, there was an interview and a Q&A session.

The moment they walked into the venue, the audience suddenly burst into applause.

Journalists from all over the world still looked at them with enthusiasm and anticipation on their faces with the excitement they had just finished watching the movie, as if they couldn't wait to ask them questions.

Unexpectedly, in just 5,000 words, it took me nearly three or four hours.

This chapter is so hard to write. (End of chapter)
