Chapter 389 Betting on ten pounds of dried tea(1/2)

After the judges entered the "little dark room", Yu Dong did not follow them. Except for the deep space staff, no one else could enter the "little dark room".

In fact, Yu Dong should be considered a "staff member" of deep space, but no one else knows about it.

Today's Jinyi has no access control, and people outside the school can also enter the school to watch movies.

The participating films are also being screened in the school's lecture hall, and passers-by are free to enter and watch. However, unlike specially invited audiences, they do not have viewing logs, so their evaluations will not have any impact on the competition.

In fact, most of the people who came to Jinyi today were not here to watch movies. They heard that many celebrities would come to this competition, so they came to join in the fun.

The news they got was correct. There were indeed many celebrities in the special audience this time, but they couldn't recognize many celebrities even if they stood in front of them.

For example, Liu Cixin, since the popularity of "Bring Her Eyes" became popular, he has also earned some small fame in the science fiction circle, but no one can recognize his face when he walks on the street.

Another example is Wang Jiawei, a great director who has been on the rise in recent years. He swaggers around the Jinyi campus and no one can recognize him.

Of course, the main reason why no one could recognize Wang Jiawei was that he was not wearing sunglasses.

If Wang Jiawei was not recognized because he was not wearing sunglasses, then Yunlong was probably recognized because he was wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Since "Don't Talk to Strangers" became popular all over the country, Yunlong Yunlong, who plays An Jiamu, has also become famous. Nowadays, he is often recognized when he goes out.

However, his treatment is much better than that of his "brother" An Jiahe. Because his role is very positive, people who recognize him are very gentle to him.

Also going to a restaurant for dinner, Feng Yuanyi was slapped in the face, but Zheng Yunlong encountered someone who wanted to pay for him.

This time I came to Jinyi Lai, and there were many reporters, so Zhen Yunlong specially dressed up, with a peaked cap, big sunglasses, and a complete set of equipment.

But the more this happens, the easier it is to make people suspicious.

Not long after he entered the door, he was recognized by a reporter, and then a crowd of people surrounded him.

Later, it was Uncle Zhou who took Xiao Fang to the rescue and allowed him to escape successfully.



In the office, Yu Dong couldn't help but laugh when he heard the completely opposite encounters between Wang Jiawei and Yu Yunlong: "Brother Yunlong, you said that you usually like to study police, criminals, spies and the like. Why don't you know that there are no such things here?"

Three hundred taels of silver, trying to hide the truth?"

Zhen Yunlong sighed, "It's not that I don't know this truth. It's just that if I don't disguise, I will be recognized 100% by others. After disguising, there is still some hope."

"When it comes to disguise, Director Wang's disguise is the best. He always wears sunglasses when meeting the media. But when he takes off his sunglasses in real life, he is rarely recognized," Liu Cixin said.

"It's easy to use, but the price is too high. Sometimes I can't see clearly with sunglasses on, but I don't want to take them off." Wang Jiawei laughed, looked at his watch, stood up and said, "This time I'm pressed for time.

While I still have some time, I'll go see the participating movies, and I can't come here in vain. So I'm sorry, I have to say goodbye."

Yu Dong and others also stood up.

"Is it true that you don't sit around anymore?" Yu Dong asked.

"No, time is really short." Wang Jiawei shook his head.

"How about we have lunch together at noon?" Yu Dong asked again.

"Save the food for next time... Mr. Yu, Mr. Zhen, Mr. Liu, you all can stay, I can go there myself."

Wang Jiawei smiled, waved his hand, and left directly.

After he left, Yu Dong smiled and explained to Zhen Yunlong and the others, "I originally invited him to join the judging panel, but he was tight on time and couldn't make arrangements. He couldn't bear it, so he came here specially."

"Looking at it this way, this 'cold-faced director' is quite polite." Zheng Yunlong said with a smile.

"Yes." Yu Dong nodded and looked at Liu Cixin: "Da Liu, I didn't expect you to come here this time. Have you arranged your work?"

"Well, it's arranged."

"Please stay in Jinling for a few more days this time. I will take you to visit the deep space later."

Liu Cixin shook his head: "I'm going to the deep space, but I have to leave the day after tomorrow. I came here to take personal leave this time, and I have to go back when the time comes, otherwise I will delay my work."

"That's okay." Yu Dong nodded, understanding.

Liu Cixin and other science fiction writers are not full-time writers, and their professional work is far from writing, which is very different from other writers, so they do not have the freedom of other writers.

Take Mo Yan as an example. Although he is in the army, because of his status as a writer, it is very easy to ask for leave. When there are activities, the unit will reimburse the travel, which is equivalent to a trip at public expense.

Otherwise, why would Yu Hua want to be a writer so much? It is really suitable for fishing.

Liu Cixin and Zhen Yunlong sat for a while and then went to the screening room to watch a movie. After all, they were also invited to watch the movie, so they always wanted to take a look and give their opinions.



The "little dark room" is not dark, and tea, water, melons and fruits are all available.

At this time, a short film ended and a short break entered. Guo Baochang rubbed his face, picked up the tea cup, and said with a smile: "We have watched seven entries. How do you feel?"

"not bad."

Zhang Yimou said three words and did not continue. On the other hand, Jiang Wen said: "It's quite satisfactory, but considering that they are all students and there are restrictions on cost, it's not bad."

Guo Baochang looked at Harold, the other deputy team leader, and said, "Mr. Harold, what do you think?"

After being selected, Harold smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to the next entries."

This was said very euphemistically, but the meaning was very obvious, which meant that there was no work that he was optimistic about yet.

Seven, that’s not a lot to say.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But these are all excellent works after screening. There are only thirty works in total, and I have already read a quarter of them.

As Jiang Wen said, these movies all performed mediocrely.

Guo Baochang sighed slightly. Only one of these seven short films left a slight impression on him, which was "Revenge" made by students from Jinling Academy of Arts.

The plot is not bad and the story is complete, but the specific shooting is somewhat unsatisfactory, which affects the overall presentation of the movie.

"Keep reading." Guo Baochang looked at the list in his hand, "The next film is "Bring Her Eyes."

After the previous movie ended, the staff had already started preparing for the next movie. After Guo Baochang spoke, "Bring Her Eyes" played directly on the screen.

After the opening credits, the first scene made the judges’ eyes light up.

Because, this movie is a big production.

Its scenes are very technological, and just from the first scene, people can tell that this is a science fiction film.

The main reason is that other works are produced by Sosou. After such a comparison, the gap becomes clear.

Of course, nothing can be seen from this first scene. It can only be seen that the producer is relatively wealthy. As for what the movie is like, we have to continue to read on.

Everyone was watching the movie seriously, but the anticipation in one pair of eyes was the most obvious.

These eyes belong to Li Zhiyu.

Li Zhiyu is a professor majoring in theater performance at Shanghai University. He was actually quite surprised when he received the invitation from Shen Kong Company, because he had never had any interaction with Shen Kong before.

But later he discovered that he still had some connections with Shen Kong, because two little girls, Li Yu and Li Bing, were both his students.

Needless to say, Li Yu previously participated in "Don't Talk to Strangers".

As for Li Bing...

Li Bing's face soon appeared in the movie.

In the video, Li Bing wears a bulky spacesuit with a weightless pencil in front of him.

She plays the heroine of "Bring Her Eyes", the owner of the eyes.

Li Zhiyu didn't know much about this movie, he only knew that Li Bing participated in it, and he didn't even know the name of the movie until after Jin Yi.

At first, Li Zhiyu focused more on Li Bing's performance, but soon, the content of the movie aroused his strong interest.

The first is the "eyes" setting.

When the word "eyes" appeared for the first time in the movie, everyone was a little confused.

Can I wear something like eyes?

Then they discovered that the so-called eyes were actually glasses that seemed to be able to transmit images to the other end.

But they soon discovered that it was not that simple. The glasses not only transmitted images, but could also transmit touch and smell, making the person on the other end feel like they were actually there.

Zhang Yimou, who was sitting not far from Li Zhiyu, narrowed his eyes.

He had actually read the novel "Bring Her Eyes", and he had a conversation with Liu Cixin, the original author, at the last Deep Space Annual Conference.

So when he saw the movie, he was a little emotional, the script was quite well written.

In fact, the plot of the movie is not much different from the novel, but some of the changes show the screenwriter's skill.

For example, the "eyes" setting.

The explanation of the setting in the original work is very simple. It is solved through the dictation of the protagonist "I" and a paragraph of text.

When making a movie, this kind of textual narrative is not easy to put in. If it were made into the protagonist's inner monologue or narration, it would be uninteresting.

The screenwriter is very smart and used some details to show these settings step by step.

From this perspective, this short film is already half successful, after all, the original novel itself is very good.

In fact, as Zhang Yimou expected, the finished product of "Bring Her Eyes" is very good.

Although for a science fiction movie, there are still some flaws in the production. For example, the scene of Sunset 6 sinking deep into the ground was not well presented.

There is no way around this. Let alone a student of Jinyi, it is difficult to present this part at the domestic level, so we can only leave it to Hollywood.

But overall, this movie shows dedication, loneliness and the reversal at the end. It is a very mature work.

After the movie ended, Guo Baochang said with a smile: "No need to ask more, I can tell from your expressions that you must have a good feeling about this movie."

"Yes." Zhang Yimou followed, "This movie is adapted from a science fiction novel, and I have read the original work. Although compared to other works, this movie has a great advantage in terms of cost, but overall

The performance is quite good, the story is complete, the presentation is clear, and basically there are no major problems.”

Guo Baochang nodded and looked at Li Zhiyu: "Professor Li, what do you think of actors' performances?"

"Good."

Guo Baochang was a little surprised that Li Zhiyu cherished words like gold. Both the male and female protagonists of this drama performed very well, so he asked Li Zhiyu specifically.
