Chapter 430 Charlie Edward's Gauntlet
It wasn't until the subtitles ended that Liu Hang and Shao Yuting stood up and prepared to leave.
Looking at the screen that lit up again, Liu Hang even had the urge to come back and sit down and watch it again.
However, the film festival time is limited, so it is more cost-effective to take advantage of the limited time to watch more movies.
Before leaving, Liu Hang and his wife glanced back and forth subconsciously. After seeing each other's gaze, they both guessed what the other was thinking and couldn't help laughing.
Liu Hang joked: "What? You still want to meet Song Qi and An Qin and have a drink?"
"What? Isn't it possible?"
Shao Yuting smiled and took his arm: "Song Qi is participating in this year's film festival. He must be here. Isn't it impossible to meet him?"
"Too."
Liu Hang smiled and said: "If we meet them again, let's treat them to a drink this time."
"I think it's okay."
The two left the cinema talking and laughing, and on the other side, Song Qi had just come out of a cinema.
It's just that what he watched was not "The Fog" but "Omnic Crisis", which is a movie by the up-and-coming director Charlie Edwards.
This movie tells the story of a future world where robots made by humans have their own thoughts and begin to conflict with humans.
This story is a relatively old-fashioned theme. Last year's "Omnic Crisis" by Yuan Renyong had this theme, and the investment and box office were much higher than this "Omnic Crisis".
But Song Qi was very curious about this movie because the special effects of this movie were produced by Miracle Studios.
For this reason, Song Qi paid special attention to this movie and was successfully attracted by the trailer of "Omnic Crisis".
The trailer of this movie does not contain many commercial shots of the conflict between robots and humans. Instead, it spends more than a minute showing a plot in which robots and humans debate the relationship between the creator and creation.
This aroused Song Qi's considerable interest.
After watching this movie, Song Qi also confirmed that this is really a relatively hard science fiction movie. It attempts to explore issues such as religion, death, human nature, etc. in this way.
There are not many commercial scenes in the whole movie. The only fighting scene is at the end of the film, and it only lasts less than five minutes and ends.
The special effects of the entire movie are concentrated on the robot Adam who awakens to self-awareness. The rest of the special effects shots are omitted where possible, and most places are replaced with props.
This is probably not a solution, because Miracle Studio’s fees are not cheap either.
But after all, it was produced by Miracle Studios, and the level of special effects is quite good.
And because all the money was spent on the blade, the texture of Adam in the movie is quite good, and it doesn't look out of place at all, but it makes the overall sci-fi feel of the movie much more real.
But what surprised Song Qi even more was the content of the movie. The movie used a lot of space to explore grand propositions such as human nature and free will, and tried to analyze the Creator.
Although most of the views are a bit immature and not strong enough, considering that the director of this film is only nineteen years old, it is already very difficult to achieve such quality.
The theater Song Qi chose was in a relatively remote location, and it wasn't "The Mist" he was watching, so there weren't many viewers and he wasn't recognized.
But not long after he walked out of the cinema, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
"Mr. Song! Please stay, Mr. Song!"
Song Qi looked back in confusion, only to find a young boy with blond hair and blue eyes wearing a European dress running over.
He quickly ran up to Song Qi, stroked his chest and saluted, and greeted Song Qi in fluent Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Song, I am Charlie Edward."
Chinese is a universal language in the world. Basically, anyone with higher education abroad can speak Chinese fluently.
But not many speak as innocently as this big boy. His accent is as standard as Pony's.
"Charlie Edward?"
Hearing his self-introduction, Song Qi was stunned, and then realized that he was the director of "Omnic Crisis".
"Hello, nice to meet you."
Song Qi smiled and nodded.
"I'm honored to meet you too."
Charlie Edward rubbed his hands a little excitedly and asked anxiously: "Mr. Song, I am your fan. Can I take a photo with you?"
"Okay, no problem."
Song Qi readily agreed.
"Great! Thank you so much!"
Charlie Edward used honorifics very skillfully. He quickly took out his mobile phone and took a selfie with Song Qi.
"Thank you very much! Another one of my life wishes has been fulfilled!"
Charlie Edward put away his cell phone excitedly and smiled from ear to ear.
"I watched your movie, and it was well shot."
Song Qi praised him encouragingly.
"Really?"
Charlie Edward's eyes widened in surprise and he exclaimed: "I recognized you in the theater. Do you really like this "Omnic Crisis"?"
"The angle was chosen well. Instead of pursuing grand scenes, we focused on details and concepts. This approach is very smart."
Song Qi smiled and suggested: "The intensity can be stronger."
"Like in your "The Mist"?"
Charlie Edward quite agreed: "I watched the first episode of "The Mist" early yesterday morning. Your bitter satire on religion was simply too sharp. I originally thought that my discussion in "Omnic Crisis" was already deviant enough.
, I didn’t expect that your views are more profound and ruthless, so you don’t believe in the existence of a Creator either?”
Song Qi explained with a smile: "If you are asking about a specific creator in human form, I don't believe it, but if it is a force or principle that prompted the creation of this world, it is the so-called first cause or
The first driving force is that I believe in it.”
"I think so too, but I can't explain it. You are really thoughtful."
Charlie Edward looked at him with admiration and admiration.
"Keep up the good work!"
Song Qi patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "You will definitely achieve something in the future."
"My goal is to become a great director like you!"
Charlie Edward looked solemn.
"The situation is getting smaller. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. You should surpass me."
Song Qi made a joke.
But Charlie Edward listened seriously and nodded: "I know, from today on, my goal is to become a better director than you! I will definitely surpass you!"
What an upright boy!
Song Qi smiled and nodded: "Very good, I'm looking forward to that day."
"I will continue to work hard!"
Charlie Edward was very excited: "I plan to come to Daxia to develop my career after graduation. I will bring my works with me when the time comes. I hope to have more exchanges with you in the film market."
Hey! This is the afternoon of war!
Song Qi smiled and nodded: "No problem! Remember to tell me in advance so that I can prepare for the challenge."
After that, he patted Charlie Edward on the shoulder, turned and left.
Chapter completed!
