Stars start from saving facial paralysis

Chapter 390

Amazing little girls are only a minority after all.

In the next two short films, the actors in them did not have such superb acting skills, but they were still above-average short films, and the ending was quite unexpected.

The fourth short film aroused Chen Fan's interest. In some respects, it has some similarities with "Terror Cruise".

The short film tells the story of a future protagonist who made a mistake when he was young, triggering a series of events that eventually detonated a natural crisis and destroyed the entire world.

When the world is about to end, human beings escape from the earth in spaceships.

In the end, going around, only the protagonist was left in the escape pod, passed through the unknown black hole, and experienced a long period of loneliness and coldness. When the protagonist was about to collapse, he came to another world.

And this world is the world of his youth.

Having lost all of his protagonists and not wanting something like that to happen in the future, he did everything he could to stop his younger self, and eventually even killed himself.

But the direction of the world is still so hopeless...

To be honest, the acting skills of the main character in this film are a bit embarrassing, but the story logic of the whole short film is very clear, and the subject matter is very novel.

At least as Chen Fan grew up, he didn't see many movies in the future.

At the end of the film, there was a passage.

Tribute to "The Terminator"!
Chen Fan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that this movie is really related to "Terminator".

Traveling through the past, wanting to change the past in order to change the future.

The core elements of the two are very similar, but Chen Fan didn't expect the connection between them. This may also be called the authority's fan.

The applause in the movie hall was very loud, and everyone saw the elements that they liked in "Terminator".

The reason why Chen Fan said that this short film is somewhat similar to "Horror Cruise" is because the final confrontation in this short film is the two protagonists.

If it weren't for the poor acting skills of the actors, this scene should be very classic.

In some ways, the director who made this short film has the experience of "killing himself".

Moreover, this short film also has many sci-fi elements, which shows that the director himself has logical thinking and ideas that keep pace with the times.

It should be easy for such a director to understand suspense films like "Horror Cruise".

Chen Fan looked at the subtitles, the director was a man named Li Qingshui.

The name sounded familiar, but Chen Fan couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a while.

In a flash, I think it should be the reason why the name is too popular.

"This director is a suitable person to shoot "Horror Cruise"."

While Chen Fan was still thinking about it, Nangong Shiyue brought it up first.

She clearly sees more elements in this movie.

"The only shortcoming of this short film is the acting skills of the male lead, everything else is excellent."

"In just over 20 minutes, he told the story of going back to the past and preventing himself from saving the world very clearly, which shows that the director's logic is very clear."

"Although the whole world went by in a flash in the end, it proved that stopping himself could not change the outcome in the future. It shows that he still has his own ideas and can create some suspense elements."

"In terms of details, the scene where he confronts himself makes people feel no sense of disobedience, which shows that he has very rich experience in directing and the use of various lenses is also very mature."

"Shouldn't such a director be an unknown person? Young directors should not have such experience."

"Li Qingshui...that name really sounds familiar."

"..."

"You also feel familiar?"

When Chen Fan heard the last part, he was startled. He thought it sounded familiar, maybe because of the public name. Nangong Shiyue also felt familiar, which meant that this director might really be someone in the industry that he had heard of or seen before.

He turned on his phone and searched directly. When he saw the photos, he felt more familiar.

"It was him!"

On the side, Nangong Shiyue poked her head over, the two of them read the briefing, and suddenly felt a little bit embarrassed.

This Li Qingshui used to be a celebrity.

He is 42 years old this year. The reason why the two feel familiar but can't remember it is because the director has been out of action for 11 years.

11 years ago, Chen Fan was only nine years old, and Nangong Shiyue was only 11 years old.

According to the online encyclopedia, Li Qingshui graduated from the director department of Shanghai Film and Television Academy, and made his debut at the age of 25, shooting his first feature-length film, and his debut was at the peak.

At that time, his first film directly won the Best Picture and Best Director of the Blue Dragon Awards, and the limelight was the same for a while.

The Blue Dragon Award is also one of the five major film awards in China. The content of the awards is mainly based on the categories of films, including the best horror film, the best suspense film, the best science fiction film, the best comedy film, the best feature film and a series of mainstream awards. Film.

At that time, Li Qingshui won the best suspense film, and also won the only best director.

After that, he shot three small-budget suspense films in succession, all of which achieved good box office. As a result, his resources increased.

When he was 28 years old, Modu Pictures invested 3000 million yuan to produce a suspense film adapted from abroad.

We must know that the 14 million yuan 3000 years ago is not much worse than the [-] million yuan now.

Li Qingshui is also full of confidence.

As a result, when the movie came out, it went straight to the street, and the box office was only over 1000 million, which was a complete loss.

Although he fell once, Modu Pictures still has confidence in him.

They pushed the reason for the film's failure to the market and audience.

The market cannot accommodate movies with tens of millions of investments, and audiences cannot understand brain-burning suspense films.

They believed that Li Qingshui's reputation was still good.

In the next two years, Magic City Pictures continued to invest in Li Qingshui one after another.

I don't know if it was the movie that hit him too hard or the problem with the script.

Later, the films made by Li Qingshui were fortunate to be able to maintain a balance of income and expenditure, and most of them were loss-making transactions.

Gradually, Li Qingshui was also dubbed the box office poison.

12 years ago, after the last movie hit the street, Li Qingshui was not cared about in the Longguo film and television market.

Unable to attract investment, he used all his wealth to independently invest in a movie, which became his last movie.

"I remembered. When I was young, I watched his 3000 million investment "Weird Space". To be honest, I didn't think it was that bad, but I was still young at that time, and it was true that I thought the movie was boring."

Chen Fan nodded,

"I also remembered it. It is said that after his last film was lost, he still owed a lot of debts. Later, he signed a contract of selling himself, but he has not seen any of his works in the film industry since then."

Nangong Shiyue's eyes were shining,

"He is free now, so the debt has been paid off? Why don't we see him? From this short film, we can still see that Director Li is of a high standard."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
