Chapter 129 Thank you for the invitation



[Do you understand?] I always like to ask questions like this.

Lu Ban was quite interested.

He saw that this question was posted last night, and he didn’t know whether it was posted by a fan or a hater. Anyway, it was quite popular, otherwise it wouldn’t have been pushed.

Lu Ban first looked at the answer with the highest number of likes.

This is a professional film critic, the kind who will write a 10,000-word review for every movie, no matter if it is a good movie or a bad one, and who can get hundreds of likes for just one or two sentences on a movie rating website.

“This film is quite experimental, including the use of special effects and the creation of atmosphere.”

"...From the perspective of special effects, the special effects of this film can be said to be extremely outstanding. I don't know whether they hired Legend Studio or Liehuo Studio, but I can be sure that this special effect is the top special effect that the audience can see at present. I even feel a little regretful that this is an online movie instead of a big screen movie, because of the streaming media settings, 1080P is already the limit, and there is no high-resolution film source, which makes the special effects of this movie discounted, but despite this, the standard is still very high!"

"... just like the special effects in the first few minutes, which perfectly blend natural landscapes and computer effects, and are full of imagination. Such images will give people a sense of suffocation and evoke the fear deep in their hearts. I believe that when everyone sees this scene, they all feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. This is normal. This is to evoke people's instincts through real images, just like playing those clips of walking in the sky will make people feel weak in the legs..."

"…Then the atmosphere is created, and through various hints and foreshadowing, the readers are inspired to imagine and look forward to the next plot, which adds a sense of weirdness. For example, in the scene at the shrine on the top of the mountain, many people would be shocked when they see the standing priest and the sitting priestess. This is because the foreshadowing has been done before, telling everyone that the people in the shrine are the main force against pollution, and now, these people who can protect everyone have died here without any resistance, which creates a shocking feeling…"

The other party wrote several thousand words for this answer alone and was very serious.

Lu Ban also read all his answers carefully and felt that what this person said was very right.

"I didn't expect that I had such deep intentions. Thanks to this classmate, I wouldn't have noticed otherwise."

Lu Ban gave him a thumbs up.

Looking down, another actor who has delved into Brecht's expressionist acting answered.

"Thanks for the invitation. I'm in the capital and just got off the plane. A lot of people have talked about other aspects of this movie, so I'll just talk about the acting. First of all, the acting level of this movie can be divided into three levels. The highest level is the heroine Hongye. In just one hour, she showed us the image of an independent, strong, gentle, and tragic woman. Her every frown and smile is a performance, and the whole process is well-coordinated. It's quite excellent, which is rare considering that she is a newcomer."

"... and the worst character, I have to say, is the protagonist, Lu Ban. He doesn't act like a rational explorer at all, but more like a lively joker, which dilutes a lot of the weird atmosphere. It's not that this kind of role is bad, but as the protagonist, it's hard for the audience to empathize with him. I personally don't like it..."

After reading his comments, Lu Ban felt that he had learned a lot.

"It seems that I still have a lot of room for improvement. I should buy a book on self-cultivation for actors and study it carefully."

He warned himself.

Lu Ban studied film and television directing in college and never studied acting, so his understanding of acting is only superficial.

Some students may ask, if you don’t know how to act, how can you teach other actors to act in the future?

This is indeed a problem. Many big directors are famous actors themselves and have a lot of experience in acting. But if Lu Ban himself has mastered superb acting skills, then with his good looks, other actors will have no chance at all, and the audience's perception threshold will continue to increase.

Therefore, for the healthy development and future of the entire film and television industry, Lu Ban did not seriously study acting.

His good intentions are evident from this.

He looked at the third highly-rated answer.

This is an anime answerer, and his personal introduction is full of words that normal people can’t understand.

"...I really want to be Miss Hongye's dog, but Miss Hongye said she likes cats, so I cried. I know why I am crying since I am neither a dog nor a cat, because I am actually a mouse..."

"…My soul looked inside through the window. The hanging bells were ringing softly. Miss Hongye was lazily leaning on the sofa. The very docile orange cat was sitting on her shoulder. The firelight from the fireplace shone on her face. My frozen heart was slightly warmed in the wind…"

This is a long and eloquent short essay with high intensity writing. The whole essay takes cats and dogs as the main subjects, and expounds the author's humble love for red leaves. It is sincere and touching.

"What the hell?"

Lu Ban felt that people nowadays were really weird, and he didn’t really understand the second dimension.

But judging from the description, this person might like red leaves very much.

Lu Ban touched the scarlet crystal on the table, felt happy for Hongye, and then sent a message back to this person.

[Motionless]: I will convey your feelings to Hongye for you.

I'm sure the other person will be very happy!

After looking around, I found that so far, most of the reviews for "Hyakunin Isshu" have received positive reviews.

Actually, it is normal to think about it. In terms of pictures, especially the pictures of extraordinary plots, "Hyakunin Isshu" is definitely the best. After all, they are all real scenes, and no special effects can surpass reality.

As for the movie itself, it is only one hour long when broadcast online, so the audience will naturally lower their expectations. There are no major problems with the plot of the movie, so the special effects alone are worth the price of the ticket.

Just like many popcorn blockbusters in theaters, the audience does not need the movie to have a sophisticated script and shooting techniques. As long as the big scenes are shocking and exciting enough, they can watch it without thinking and kill time.

For example, if Lu Ban's movie was a 100-minute big-screen movie that people watched in a movie theater for 60 yuan, then perhaps some people would come out to complain about the plot, the pictures, and the characters' acting skills.

But membership is free anyway, so why should we have such high demands?

No need.

What's more important is that Lu Ban's movies have a little power to influence reality. Everyone who watches the movie will feel the same things as the characters in the movie. This is very puzzling.

No ocean visual effect can compare to the truly suffocating footage. 4D movies only shake the chairs and spray water on your face. How can they compare to the burning sensation of being in the real fog? It's like a dimensionality reduction attack on the keyboard and mouse by a tube inserted in the back of the head.

Lu Ban glanced at the comments on the video on the old video website again and soon found that there was a reply from someone in the comment section.

[I tried that weird little game with a few friends last night, and it seems like we really encountered something unclean!!!]

"Um?"

Lu Ban clicked on the video link attached to his answer.
