Five days later, the new issue of "Film Report" was quickly released.
Among them, there is a line of medium-sized text in the important summary of the cover.
"Exclusive Interview with Lu Jian, the Emerging Horror Film Director".
In the article, with the interview with Lu Jian as the core and the development context of domestic horror movies as the hidden thread, it shows the current situation of domestic horror-themed movies. At the same time, the reporter also said that he has seen clips of Lu Jian's new movie that is being prepared.
And gave it a very high rating.
The impact of this magazine article cannot be said to be large, but it is certainly not small either.
"Film Report" is a relatively high-end film magazine in China. Different from the gossip weeklies that focus on celebrity news, "Film Report" focuses more on the industry and is considered a semi-official media. Therefore, this report is in
In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be just a special interview, but in the eyes of industry insiders and relatively core movie lovers, it is a signal.
On Doudou.com, a well-known film and television communication and rating website, discussions about this report have rapidly increased in related discussion groups. Some of the discussion groups include directors, actors, and practitioners in the industry.
[Actor Zhao Kuo]: What was Lu Jian doing before? I don’t think I’ve heard of it?
[Movie Maker]: Online movie bar, have you seen "One Hundred Songs"? It was very popular some time ago.
[Hengdian Xiaozhi]: I watched it. It was really scary and made people feel the same. I didn’t expect him to participate in the film festival this time, so I felt prepared.
[Actor Zhao Kuo]: Online movies? Are they really that scary? I feel like online movies are all shoddy knockoffs, and not many of them are watchable.
[Ordinary screenwriter Axiang]: I’m afraid you’re upset. Those online dramas some time ago earned clicks and word-of-mouth. In comparison, the TV dramas that are now popular are the most popular ones.
[Bean Paste Popsicle]: I have seen his previous movies, and I have to say that the atmosphere is very strong, and the special effects are also very powerful. In terms of pictures alone, they are at the level of big-screen movies. However, the films participating in the Yannan University Student Film Festival this year are all
Very strong, he probably won't get any prizes.
[Yannan Xiaoliu]: The genre of horror films has always been at a disadvantage because it is not popular enough, and the preparation time was too short. It has only been a few months since the release of the last film. I have some doubts about the quality of his new film.
[Hengdian Xiaozhi]: The starring role in his movie is himself, and most of the actors are newcomers. It should be very fast to set up the scene and shoot it.
[Film Reporter]: But it’s a bit rare for the editor in “Film Report” to brag like this. I don’t know what happened to the feature film.
Just like the situation in the discussion group, many practitioners in the film and television industry, especially those who have participated in dramas broadcast on the big screen or TV stations, are actually not very fond of watching online movies and online dramas. Many relatively core ones
Enthusiasts were also skeptical of the new medium.
The main reason is that there are too many products, many of which are shoddy and deceitful. As a result, most of the products seen by the public are of low quality, which fixes the overall impression.
However, with the popularity of some online dramas and online movies, as well as the involution of the film and television industry, more and more practitioners who originally focused on movies and TV dramas have begun to try to get into online movies and online dramas, making the original impression slowly fade away.
Changes have occurred. Previously, movies that were originally going to theaters were directly broadcast online. The boundaries between traditional and emerging movies are gradually blurring.
Lu Tiaoduo didn't care about these doubts.
He studied the awards structure of the film festival, such as Best Director and Best Actor. These competitions are very stressful, but for awards such as Best Special Effects, the competition pressure is very small.
After all, it is a college student film festival. Most young directors do not have the ability to attract so much investment to make special effects blockbusters. The main direction of their films will tend to be small to see the big. Even if they make a science fiction film, it will be a science fiction romance film. At most, it will take a while
Reincarnation, going back to the past and other gimmicks.
As for Lu Jian’s videos, there’s not much else but a lot of thieves in big scenes.
Especially this time, whether it was the elevator that started by itself, the monster with thousands of eyes and throats in the room at the end of the corridor, or the final scene of the hospital collapsing, they were all so real that they couldn't be more realistic, and they were beyond the reach of ordinary directors.
Therefore, Lu Jian’s goal is very clear, that is, the Best Special Effects Award.
Two days after "Film Report" was published, Lu Jian's cell phone vibrated while he was working.
Looking at the caller ID, it was Feng Yu, the old squad leader.
"Wow, you are in a magazine, "Film Report". You are the second person in our class to be in this magazine!"
Feng Yu's voice sounded very happy and excited.
"The second one? Who is the first one?"
Lu Jian was a little surprised.
It's not that he thinks he's great, being interviewed by a government-level magazine at such a young age, it's just pure curiosity.
"Huh? Don't you know? Zhou Ying, she was molested by a big director before, which caused a lot of trouble for the director. It was published in two issues!"
After all, Feng Yu is also a girl, so when talking about such gossip, she takes it seriously.
"How abominable!"
Lu Tan complained that many people now like to bully others because they have power, and they should be dealt with properly!
"Don't mention this. By the way, I saw you said you wanted to participate in the Yannan College Student Film Festival?"
"right."
"What a coincidence. My crew will also be doing press releases by then, so we can meet in Yannan!"
Feng Yu's voice sounded brisk, like a primary school student who was about to go on a spring outing.
"What a coincidence?"
Lu Tiao flipped through the calendar.
"That's right, hey, let's find some time to eat then. I heard there are quite a few good restaurants in Yannan."
"no problem."
He and Feng Yu chatted for a few more words and hung up the phone.
With that being said, which crew did Feng Yu join?
Lu Kun was a little confused, but he resisted the idea of searching for Feng Yu's name on the Internet. This kind of stalker-like thing was not in line with Lu Kun's positive personality.
He continued working until all the stories needed for the archive were processed.
Lu Tan adopts a story line based on reality. The cause of the story is that there was a problem with the demolition of the hospital. Then the protagonist went to investigate and got several tapes. While investigating, he listened to the tapes and finally entered the hospital to solve the problem.
This kind of structure, which is foreshadowed by several supernatural stories and finally brought together, is often seen in suspense films and thrillers. Lu Jian remembers that the one that left a deep impression was "The Master of Hypnosis", which used several sets of hypnosis to provide back-and-forth care, which was quite good.
In the evening of mid-October, Lu Tan stretched out and saw a message pop up on WeChat.
[Wangchuan]: Are your sewer pipes in good condition?
[Moveless]:?
[Wangchuan]: The sewer in our building burst. Now we can’t live in it at all. Can you let me stay at your house for two nights?
[Moveless]:??
[Wangchuan]: Why are you asking questions? I won’t eat you!
[Moveless]:???
