A group related to domestic film and television practitioners.

On May 1st.

When Lu Ban released the trailer for his new film, it was like the New Year for people in the circle, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

The good news is that there are new good movies to watch. A movie by Lu Ban will be watched repeatedly and analyzed by people in the industry. Whether it is the natural acting of the actors, as if they were in the world of the movie, or the magical special effects, as if they were real records, or the worldview with rich and complete details, as if it was brought from another world, these are all worth learning for practitioners.

Even performances such as Amber in "Spring Day Without a War" and Koto in "In the Mouth of a Madman" have been included in the textbooks of film and television acting.

Many actors with good acting skills have tried to present such complex, natural and realistic acting skills, but they are all slightly inferior, because this is a very contradictory state. When you try hard to perform, you lose your naturalness. When you try to return to nature, you lose the focus of the performance.

For example, when it comes to crying performances, we all know that shedding tears means crying, but how to shed tears, how many tears to shed, whether to shed tears, and how loud the cry should be, are all very particular.

Not to mention those young actors who need eye drops to cry, even experienced actors generally only know a few common ways of crying. For example, the way of crying for the death of parents might be used for the death of lovers. It's almost the same and the average audience can't tell the difference.

Some are more sophisticated and will try to figure out the character's mood and present subtle differences.

But just as there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, everyone's perception of the same situation is different. Some people think that the actor did not cry hard enough, while others think that he cried too hard. There are always all kinds of opinions to criticize the actors' acting skills.

But in Lu Ban’s movies, no one can judge the acting.

Even though no one has ever seen what a person with firm beliefs looks like when being burned by flames, when the audience sees the mages sitting on torches burning themselves on the high tower, no one will question the pain they endure and the faith they persist in.

There are two styles of performance. One is to make the audience empathize by objectively reflecting the reality, and the other is to create a virtual scene so that the audience can feel something they have never heard of before.

The former is mostly used in works with realistic themes to arouse people's resonance, while the latter is mostly used in the field of fantasy to arouse people's imagination.

Lu Ban’s movie is undoubtedly the latter.

There are so many things in his works that can be studied. It can be said that if one can learn 30% of the techniques in Lu Ban's films, it will be enough to make a hit commercial film. And if one can learn 50%, winning awards will be no problem at all.

The reason why people still feel sad when facing Lu Ban’s movies is that Lu Ban’s works will greatly increase the audience’s aesthetic limit, and at the same time, will squeeze everyone’s wallets.

For example, if Lu Ban's movies are released during certain prime time periods, most of the movies released during the same period will have poor box office performance and can only compete for second place. Their performance may not even be as high as that of family-friendly cartoons. Moreover, movies of the same type shot by Lu Ban, no matter how well they are made, can't avoid being compared with Lu Ban's works. In this comparison, their special effects are not as good as others, their atmosphere is not as good as others, and their acting skills are not as good as others. They can only rely on the reversal of the script to gain a little advantage, and their box office performance is 100% inferior to Lu Ban's, which is a thankless task.

Therefore, there is a saying among some practitioners: "Lu Ban doesn't have many more topics left for us."

Fortunately, Lu Ban usually shoots fantasy, horror, thriller, adventure, and suspense themes, and has not touched on content such as emotional love, celebrity biography, youth growth, and business war games. Film and television practitioners who focus on these themes can rest assured for the time being.

In the group, everyone was talking about the trailer that Lu Ban had just released.

[Hengdian Xiaozhi]: Lu Ban was trying to challenge the ultimate in special effects, it was like a disaster movie. Fortunately, our team had no plans to touch these things recently, so we escaped a disaster.

[Ordinary screenwriter A Xiang]: I actually feel that disaster films have restricted Lu Ban's performance. As we all know, his various works are now connected together. The world view and the elusive gods behind it are the core attractions. The industrialized routine model of disaster films is not suitable for him to perform.

[Movie Bricklayer]: Indeed, the format of disaster films is too fixed. You can figure out how to shoot it with your eyes closed. The biggest expectation for Lu Ban is the special effects.

[Red Bean Paste Popsicle]: But to be honest, the volcanic eruption effect in this trailer is quite good. I have been fortunate enough to see an active volcano before, and the magma inside does have this texture.

[Yannan Xiaoliu]: Ah? Volcano? Isn't it a super typhoon?

[Actor Zhao Kuo]: ??? Wasn’t it a big earthquake?

[Movie Bricklayer]: No way, I saw in the trailer that it was a tsunami?

Everyone in the group was suddenly stunned.

They opened the web page and searched again.

You won’t know unless you search. Once you search, you will find out.

Lu Ban uploaded a total of four trailers.

Volcanoes, earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, different natural disasters correspond to different trailers. Although the modes are similar, the special effects are completely different.

These trailers were distributed according to different logic, resulting in many people seeing different trailers if they randomly swiped them.

[Movie Bricklayer]: I have never seen such a scene in my life. Is Lu Ban going to shoot the end of the world?

[Ordinary screenwriter A Xiang]: It’s quite exciting. A disaster film of this level only comes out every few years, and it used to be a privilege of foreign countries. Now we can also make it.

[Red Bean Paste Popsicle]: Am I the only one who is curious about how Lu Ban will end up with so many guys coming together?

[Yannan Xiaoliu]: This is the gimmick. Think about it, for a normal disaster movie, you would know from the trailer that the protagonist is going to save the world, but for this movie, the more you watch the trailer, the more desperate you will feel. You can't even imagine how they will win. So, you can only go to the cinema to watch it, right?

[Hengdian Xiaozhi]: Hiss, this kid is so scary.

Lu Ban's four trailers were soon known to everyone. After all, in the Internet age, you can find them by just searching. Various public accounts and self-media were also frantically trying to get attention. Every shot in the trailer was pulled out for analysis, and then some UP's analysis was plagiarized by other public accounts, and the plagiarized public accounts were plagiarized by other public accounts, which caused a lot of disputes.

Not long after, a comprehensive article appeared on the Internet, claiming to have fully interpreted Lu Ban's new film.
