The film's shots are precious and there are no meaningless clips.
Seeing this, Canghai smiled and one of his doubts was solved. The originally puzzling title of the movie "Rural Teacher" now found its reason. The teacher Li just now should be the male protagonist of the movie.
It was a face that had never been seen in the entertainment industry, and his appearance was mediocre. However, compared with the role of an ordinary rural teacher, the male protagonist did not bring any sense of incongruity, which showed that the director's casting was not a failure.
It is normal that familiar actors do not appear in low-budget movies. As long as they can act well, you don’t have to worry too much.
Moreover, the several science fiction-related space scenes that have been shown so far do not have a cheap and shoddy feel. On the contrary, the texture of the film is enhanced by several clips that conform to real physics.
The only thing that makes people curious is the teardrop-shaped alien creation.
Both in size and shape, it is somewhat different from the conventional spacecraft people are familiar with.
Soon, a teardrop-shaped spaceship landed on Earth—let’s call it that for now.
At the Federal Space Agency, the staff who received the news urgently reported to their superiors: "Its overall diameter is about one meter, and its surface is extremely smooth. It has no electromagnetic response. Sound waves, electromagnetic waves, infrared waves, thermal imaging... Currently, none of our detection equipment reacts to it."
The superior frowned and asked, "How did you find it?"
"With the naked eye." The staff member replied: "It was discovered by a cargo ship through a telescope. Apart from being visible to the naked eye, it seems that it does not exchange any energy with the outside world."
At this point, the staff member paused and said, "Or the way it exchanges energy... is beyond our understanding."
"How can we be sure that it is an alien product?"
"Because when the freighter spotted it, it was originally suspended in the air and moving towards the shore at a speed of three nautical miles per hour. After the fleet spotted it, it turned around and approached the freighter. As a result, when it was close to one nautical mile, it turned around as if it had consciousness and continued to move towards the shore."
After hearing this, the boss angrily asked, "Why didn't you report such an important matter earlier? Where is it now?"
"The staff first thought that this was another case of fake alien news. Since the moon landing, many people have arrived at the bureau every day, saying that they have discovered alien spaceships. The staff will only report it after the screening procedures." At this point, the young staff member looked helpless. At this speed, it should be reaching the coast soon.
"Immediately evacuate the crowd and block the news."
"yes!"
At this time, the scene switched to the coast. It was a cloudy day. Although it was not raining, there were no people sightseeing here. Instead, there were three or five fishermen on the shore.
Further away, on the cliff formed by the reef, stood a woman in a thin white dress.
The woman in the white dress was Su Yining. Her face was numb at this moment. She said nothing, stood on the edge of the reef, turned her back to the sea, closed her eyes, and then fell into the sea behind her without hesitation.
At the same time, droplets of metal appeared far away on the sea level.
A burst of data flowed across its surface again, and it changed direction slightly and flew towards the corner of the cliff.
Official personnel had already taken action at this time. The fishermen were asked to leave, and military vehicles surrounded the coast in a low-key and forceful manner.
The perspective switches to a very distant view, and one can see that the military vehicles, the fleet, the coast, and the sea form a circle. In the middle of the circle is the location of the water drop.
The water droplets hovered quietly on the sea surface, with light streaks that were difficult to see with the naked eye flowing rapidly above them.
"Did you see what's on it?"
"The distance is too far. The light strips do have content, but they are too blurry. Even our highest-resolution camera equipment cannot make out the data or text on them."
The military chief was talking to a middle-aged man who looked like an expert.
Suddenly, the monitoring staff shouted: "There is a reaction! There are reactions from both the sound waves and thermal imaging in the water!"
"What's going on?" The person in charge and the expert rushed to the monitoring equipment, and then saw a blurry red figure in the sea water on the monitoring equipment. The figure was gradually getting bigger and walking towards them.
"It's coming out!" the staff shouted, looking towards the water.
Everyone followed his gaze.
Su Yining, who had previously looked like she had lost all hope in life and was about to commit suicide, now walked out of the water with an expressionless face and her cold and proud temperament.
At the junction of the coast, her slender figure, white dress and black hair were particularly eye-catching. The water drop metal behind her, the light strips converged, and turned into a mercury shape.
This is a scene that also appears in the poster, but seeing it in the holographic movie world, everything is even more shocking.
The soldiers raised their guns and pointed them at her. The person in charge quickly raised his hand, and the soldiers lowered their guns again, but still held them in their hands.
The alien didn't care. She stretched out her left index finger and gently touched her forehead. A faint blue light appeared between her eyebrows.
Everyone present was very confused by this move, but they did not dare to act rashly. The military commander remained calm as if made of steel, but his Adam's apple moved slightly, revealing his inner nervousness.
Guo Qian, a senior student, also became nervous when watching this scene.
Only the expert stared at the alien in amazement and said, "This seems... to be a kind of etiquette."
"Etiquette?" the person in charge repeated uncertainly.
At this time, the alien suddenly spoke in standard Mandarin:
"Hello, Earthlings. I am the civilization detection officer of the Galactic Carbon-based Federation."
"In order to save time, I hope that one of you can take me to see the pinnacle of your current civilization's technology."
"Can the highest authority on your site respond to my request?"
Her eyes were fixed on the person in charge who wore the rank of colonel.
"I will wait for three minutes, which is based on your concept of time. If you refuse or disagree, I will use my own method to achieve my goal."
The person in charge was extremely tense, staring at the alien intently, as if he didn't dare to miss a word she said. After making sure she had finished speaking, he immediately said:
"Wait a moment." Then he picked up the encrypted communication device: "Please ask for instructions from your superiors!"
Obviously, with this first communication with aliens, the entire federal government's attention is focused here.
"We are waiting for the top leader to give instructions." A clear female voice came from the device. After about ten seconds of silence, the female voice sounded again: "Agreed, Colonel Fang Shen, please take this...interstellar friend to the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. You will serve as the supreme commander of the escort team until we arrive in the Imperial Capital and meet the reception team."
"Yes, I will ensure that the mission is completed!" Colonel Fang Shen looked solemn.
The audience who laughed when they heard the term "interstellar friends" were quickly infected by the seriousness on Colonel Fang Shen's face and retracted their smiles.
The scene changed and they appeared in a backward mountain village.
The "school" only has one shabby classroom. Teacher Li is still wearing the old jacket, but it looks like it has been washed and is not so dusty.
"Pa!" He clapped his hands loudly, signaling to the row of students standing under the eaves: "The town leaders are here!"
The students painted two blushes on their not-so-clean faces with Impatiens balsamina from the mountains. Holding wild flowers picked from the mountains in their hands, they looked at the town leaders brought in by Teacher Li and shouted out incoherent slogans in a loud and uneven voice:
"Welcome leaders to visit Shunzhang Village Primary School!"
The scene changes, and the audience's sight shifts from wild flowers to delicate and beautiful roses.
A group of primary school students in white school uniforms stood at the airport landing zone and were photographed standing in two rows on both sides of the red carpet. The red carpet shot showed a reception group consisting of a group of anxious scientists and senior government and military officials.
If you look closely, you will see that the primary school students here also have rouge on their faces, but their makeup is more delicate than that of the children in rural primary schools. There is no essential difference.
This scene change made Canghai laugh. Not only did Wei Lan use the same kind of transition that he often does, but he also added a layer of contrast and reflection.
Whether it is the rural primary school receiving the 'town leaders' or the high-end reception group receiving aliens, the scenes are obviously tens of thousands of miles apart, but they subtly overlap.
What a wonderful satire of formalism.
The diplomat in charge of reception had already come forward, showing the most comfortable and polite smile, and led the aliens into the Academy of Sciences surrounded by the reception group.
The aliens looked at the elementary school students at the welcoming ceremony and the flowers in their hands with some surprise.
The diplomat who was watching her every move smiled and explained: "This is a plant called rose, which represents peace on our earth."
His mention of peace at this time was obviously meaningful.
The alien nodded, as if he understood, but also as if he didn't care, and continued walking forward.
The entire situation of the reception group was broadcast live in another command center.
The elderly academician who appeared in the trailer pushed up his glasses and began to analyze the alien's every move with the team when she visited the academy's laboratory.
What happened next is that the young scientist played by He Zixuan finally couldn't help but ask the alien directly about this question.
——"This is the body that I have found within the range of my consciousness projection that is most highly regarded in your aesthetic sense."
——"Aliens also look at faces?"
Even though they had already seen this scene in the trailer, the audience couldn't help but laugh when they saw it again.
The aliens went to visit the electron-positron collider. The young scientist played by He Zixuan did not follow them in, but instead communicated with the old academician in the command center.
"Xiao He, what do you think of the psychological motivations of the aliens for doing this?"
Because it was just a guest supporting role, Wei Lan didn't even give He Zixuan another character name.
He Zixuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Academician Wang, I actually have an idea about this..."
Academician Wang said, "Hmm? You are facing aliens directly, tell us what you think."
"She just said that her real body is outside the universe, and she used a technology that we cannot understand now, using that droplet-shaped detector, to project her consciousness into that female college student."
"That's right."
He Zixuan said: "Her aesthetic sense is definitely different from ours, but in order to communicate with us better, she used our aesthetic standards to rate and directly chose the one with the highest rating within a certain range."
"Can I understand it as if, just like when we play online games, we choose the character model with higher value when we can choose it for free for the first time?"
"Oh..." The elderly Academician Wang suddenly realized: "You mean that female college student is the SSR in the card pool in the eyes of aliens?"
