What if my daughter wants to be a star

"The movie to be shown below is the work of Huaxia director Su Ye-"Resident Evil"!"

The host briefly introduced Su Ye and his movie, and "Resident Evil" began to be screened immediately.

Because it is a competition version, there is no dragon mark at the beginning of the film, and there are no major production companies.

"Title: Resident Evil"

The blood-red background is set against four Chinese characters and a line of English annotations.

Music with a weird rhythm resounded throughout the theater, echoing in the ears of major international directors.

"Huh? The beginning is interesting."

In the jury, the chairman of the jury of this year's Ghana Film Festival, the famous French director Jaquib looked at the screen and said suddenly.

"Very creative, this opening cut makes people shine." Li Yulan, the only Chinese actor selected in the jury, agreed.

Li Yulan is one of the most popular and internationally renowned actors in China's last generation. Nowadays, she has hardly made movies, and has turned to work behind the scenes as a producer or reviewer.

With Yakib's speech and Li Yulan's approval, the other judges looked at the screen and nodded slightly.

The opening of "Resident Evil" is very interesting, it uses a novel approach.

When the movie name is over, the whole picture is pitch black first, and then a small white light spot appears in the middle of the pitch black curtain.This white light spot gradually grew larger and became a square, slowly showing an image of a person wearing a thick protective suit, operating a robotic arm.

Against the background of the weird and rhythmic music, tube after tube of blue and green reagents were taken out by the robotic arm and packed into a special box.

Immediately afterwards, the man took off his protective clothing, turned and prepared to leave the laboratory.Just before he left, a tube of blue reagent suddenly fell on the corner of the hard laboratory bench and broke to the ground.

This tube of blue reagent was broken, and the gas diffused visible to the naked eye, slowly permeating out through the exhaust pipe.

As soon as the screen turned, the computer synthesized voice said, "Umbrella company employees need to wear badges..." and so on, busy employees and experimental meat dogs appeared in the screen one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the picture turned again to a circular camera angle of view.In the light blue camera, the data is constantly scrolling, showing that there seems to be some unusual data errors in this place.

The camera angle of view was constantly switched, and various scenes such as the laboratory, elevator, aisle...

The fire spray turned on automatically, the elevator was suddenly cut off and the meat dog began to bark... all kinds of phenomena seemed to indicate that something important was about to happen.

"The suspense is well arranged, but this technique is not too new." Carlo, one of the members of the jury, watched the unfolding of "Resident Evil" and said with a little disappointment.

At the beginning, a suspense is arranged to attract the attention of the audience as quickly as possible.This method of shooting is common in movies, and it is not new, but rather routine.

It's more than enough to fool ordinary audiences, but it's too pediatric for these old fritters who watch countless movies.

"Is it a plot mode where a group of people are trapped in a gas leak in the experimental base to survive?" someone immediately guessed.

"There are a lot of people in this experimental base. If you really want to survive, it may only be the handful of people in the elevator." Someone followed this line of thinking and began to imagine.

As everyone discussed, the plot continued.

The water in the sealed laboratory was constantly flowing, and the people inside were about to drown; the elevator suddenly fell, and it was about to fall to the bottom, knocking everyone to death; poisonous gas began to be sprayed in the aisle, everyone was dying...

"The plot doesn't seem to be that simple." Chairman Yakib looked at the person who had just spoken and said with a smile.

"If it's really that simple, it won't pass the preliminary trial." The man spread his hands and said it didn't matter.

The elevator that was about to fall to the bottom jammed, and a woman tried to get out of the elevator, but the camera spotted her with a head out just now, and immediately let the elevator continue to fall.

When everyone thought that this woman was going to leave like Wu Zixu, the elevator stopped steadily.

"This director really likes to be surprised." Carlo who spoke before smiled.

"As far as I know, Su Ye once filmed a "A Chinese Ghost Story", which also has horror elements, but will soon add comedy elements to dilute the horror. This time, he may want to make a real horror film , A horror film specially prepared for Ghana." After all, they are all Chinese, Li Yulan helped Su Ye explain

"I tried my best, but unfortunately, there are still no highlights." Carlo shook his head and said regretfully.

While Carlo was speaking, the elevator suddenly started again and moved up quickly. The woman who had just turned over, her head was stuck in the middle of the door, and she watched her head hit the elevator door frame.

The camera switches quickly, but the end of the woman is already obvious.

"...Really, I like to surprise people." Carlo grinned twice.

He also said just now that Su Ye likes to frighten people. Now Su Ye tells him immediately that Su Ye is not merciless when he kills people in the movie.

The picture switched quickly again, and this time a beautiful eye appeared in the picture.

Alice played by Su Qingxue, wearing a bathrobe, passed out in the bathroom.

In the original version of "Resident Evil", the heroine did not wear any clothes, and she showed a little bit very simply, giving the audience a wave of welfare.Naturally, Su Ye couldn't let her daughter get her eyeballs by dew point, so she changed it to Alice in a bathrobe.

The next plot development is nothing too exciting.The heroine got dressed and walked out of the room. A huge and amazing swarm of crows suddenly flew up in the woods outside the house, instantly creating a ghastly atmosphere in the film.

A man suddenly jumped out amidst the rustling wind and dragged Alice to run wildly. However, a group of special soldiers caught the two again, took them deep underground, and went to the hive where the computer Red Queen killed countless company employees. .

In this plot, the suspenseful atmosphere is created very well, and almost every place is ambushing for the future.The horror elements are also perfectly presented to ensure that even warriors who have experienced battles will be shocked by various surprises the first time they watch this section.

From this point of view, as a horror film, "Resident Evil" has been quite successful at the beginning.

However, that is for the general audience.

For the directors, screenwriters, and actors who are sitting in the theater watching "Resident Evil" at this time, this section is scary, but there is nothing too brilliant.

The judges of the Ghana Film Festival and the people on the scene do not want to see how scary and horrible your movie is. What they want to see is what is new in this movie.Whether it's the shooting technique or the creation of a horrible atmosphere, there must be something new before it can be regarded as an independent film, and it can be regarded as a film that can reflect the director's ideas.

Otherwise, horror films that make people scream and even scare people to death abound. Just watch horror. These horror films have long won numerous awards.

It’s not about fear or fear, but whether you have your own unique opinions.

From the beginning of "Resident Evil" to the present, the plot has been developed for 30 minutes. Except for the opening scenes, "Resident Evil" has nothing to shine.

Although some of its bridge sections are designed to be very scary, it is just a bland horror for the filmmakers present and the entire jury.

"How did this kind of film pass the preliminary review? Did the reviewers of the Ghana Film Festival also start to have problems?"

In the auditorium, some people began to talk quietly.

"It's boring, is this a dessert after dinner? Worried that we would be too boring watching a feature film, so we arranged a midnight horror film for our pastime?" Someone said without hesitation.

Regardless of whether it was loudly or quietly, whether it was posted or not, the movie people present showed a kind of dissatisfaction with the story of the first 30 minutes of "Resident Evil".Some people even took out their phones and played mobile games.

"I think this horror movie is really good." Pete got close to Su Ye again.

"I thought you came here to say to cancel the contract between us." Su Ye smiled.

"No, I won't cancel it. I don't know any art. As an ordinary viewer, I was scared by this horror movie, and I knew it was a good movie." Pete said.

"Thanks for your trust."

"However, your movie seems to be difficult to win." Pete said again.

Su Ye just smiled when he heard the words and glanced up at the screen.

"Keep reading and you will know." Su Ye said to Pete confidently, his tone full of confidence.

Hearing Su Ye's words, Pete looked at the screen with some doubts, as if he didn't understand why Su Ye could still show an unusual calmness even after feeling everyone's dissatisfaction.

At the moment when Pete looked up, the Red Queen who was about to be shut down shouted to the camera: "You will all die here! Everyone!"

...

"At the beginning, I felt very thoughtful, but unfortunately, the performance was too mediocre. Just discard this movie?" Carlos, a member of the jury, really couldn't stand it anymore, and said bluntly.

"I agree."

"I agree too."

Half of the entire jury agreed with Carlo.

"Wait a minute!" Li Yulan stopped.

Carlo looked at Li Yulan helplessly, somewhat disappointed: "Miss Li, I know that you are all Chinese, but as a judge, you must be fair and objective. There is nothing in this movie. Of course, we respect every love. The director of the film, but such a film with obvious commercial traces does not conform to the original intention of our film festival..."

"Wait."

Before Carlo finished speaking, "wait a minute" sounded again.

This time, however, the speaker was not Li Yulan, but the chairman of the jury of this Ghana Film Festival, Yakib.

"Chairman, don't you..."

Carlo couldn't believe it, but he suddenly saw the eyes of the surrounding jury members gathered on the screen. He suddenly saw that many filmmakers who were watching the movie stopped talking, put down the phone, and all looked at the screen seriously. , A kind of surprise and thinking appeared on his face.

He was stunned, as if he understood something.

Carlo immediately turned to look at the screen, just in time to see a limping bald guy in a white suit, holding a huge hammer in hand, and screaming at the camera with half of his head.
