tearjerker director

Chapter 1061 This story doesn't seem to be very interesting?

In fact, this love-themed short film festival is quite interesting.

After all, if it is purely domestic, to be honest, most of the time, it is very difficult to impress the eyes of domestic netizens.

People are curious.

In this short film festival, there are quite a few special short films.

Perhaps it is very difficult for feature films, and few people dare to try something brand new. After all, the investment and production of feature films involves all aspects.

No one dared to take the risk.

But short films are different. After all, they are only short films, and the cost can be controlled within a certain range.

If you don't pursue economic box office profitability, you don't need to worry about so many constraints.

Therefore, many short films are really brain-opening, including suspenseful love short films, science fiction, animation, and even horror-style love.

One of the more special ones is end-time love.

It's just that it's not people who fall in love, but zombies, which makes people feel particularly interesting.

What's more, there are insects in love.

Anyway, there are all kinds of things, maybe the quality of the short film is not so high, but I have to say, the brain hole is big enough.

For netizens, it's free anyway, and it's really interesting.

Of course, there are also those who stand out from others. The platform of the Internet is really suitable for short films.

As long as it is good enough, and Penguin Video spares no effort to provide promotional resources, it will be difficult not to be popular.

All kinds of excellent short films stand out, but it also makes Penguin Video a bit difficult.

After all, they positioned Li Yi's short film as the finale. Although Li Yi's work did not participate in the competition, what is the finale?

If the finale work is not as good as those other short films, Li Yi will be really embarrassed.

"Hehe, are you underestimating Director Li too much? Are you underestimating the king of short films?" Yan Wenwei was full of confidence in the discussion of his subordinates.

Although he didn't see Li Yi's finished product either.

But he has great confidence in Li Yi.

After all, he can be said to have witnessed the rise of Li Yi, a monster all the way.

"Also, even if it's not as good, it's a good thing. It shows that this year's short film festival really made the best works stand out!" Yan Wenwei said with a smile.

The others really thought about it, anyway, if the work is really not as good as people, it's okay, the embarrassing one is Li Yi anyway.

The Short Film Festival is in full swing.

On this day, Yan Wenwei called all the short film festival team over for a meeting.

Some of them were specially invited, well-known directors, film critics, and filmmakers who enjoy a good reputation at home and abroad.

"Director Li's short film has been sent over. Didn't everyone worry about whether Director Li's short film was qualified to be the finale? Let's see it first!"

Yan Wenwei himself hasn't watched it yet, but he is full of confidence.

The main reason is that Li Yi's past record is really too dazzling.

Others heard the news, including several filmmakers invited from abroad, and film critics also showed anticipation and curiosity.

Li Yi is now not only famous in China, but also the only great director in the world.

However, many foreign directors here are familiar with Li Yi's feature films, but they don't pay much attention to Li Yi's short films.

It still stays on the original "Forward with Weight".

The main reason is that most of Li Yi's short films are in China, and the themes and backgrounds are also domestic. There is a natural gap, and it is normal for foreigners not to know.

Unlike feature films, which go to foreign markets for publicity, short films, even if they are publicized, are also made domestically.

Soon, Yan Wenwei handed a USB flash drive to the assistant and asked him to play it.

Images began to appear on the screen in the meeting room.

"Gift of the Magi"!
——Director Li Yi's work!
When everyone saw the title of this short film, their first reaction was that this should be the story of a protagonist named Maggie.

The clip opens with a woman with long, beautiful hair pushing a shopping cart in a supermarket.

Her goal seemed to be very obvious, and she headed for the discount zone immediately.

The things you buy are all things that are marked with temporary discounts or bundled with gifts.

After all, there is still a huge gap between the background of the short story and the current situation, so it is impossible for Li Yi to copy it completely.

Some necessary modifications are still required.

These few short shots let everyone understand that this woman does not have a lot of money, and the things she buys are all expired products or discounted products.

When the woman returned home, she sorted the things she bought and put them away.

Then she sat in front of the window sill, and there was a wedding photo of her and her husband hanging on the wall. In the photo, her face was filled with a happy smile.

The camera looks out along the window sill, and there is a family not far away, unloading a "Christmas tree" from a car!
They look very happy.

Everyone who saw this scene knew that it was Christmas.

The camera zooms back into the room.

The woman seemed to think of something, took out her wallet and poured out all the money from it.

She counted.

Her eyes turned red involuntarily, and she looked at the photo with her husband hanging on the wall.

The camera specifically showed the gold watch on his husband's wrist.

She was lying on the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.

However, she quickly picked up her mood because her husband was coming back.

She was skillfully cooking dinner when the door opened outside.

She trotted over to meet her husband.

The two hugged sweetly.

have dinner together.

During the period, the husband took out the watch without the strap and looked at the time.

Delaware passed his watch and looked at it.

Then I gave it back to my husband.

The next day, she sent her husband to work, and the moment she closed the door, she couldn't help but sigh again.

Taking out the wallet again, tears welled up again.

After Della cried, she powdered her face.She stood by the window and stared out blankly at a gray cat walking on a gray fence in the gray backyard.

In the room, between the two windows, there was a small wall mirror, which reflected Della's figure.

She turned suddenly from the window and stood before the wall mirror.Her eyes were sparkling and bright, but the look on her face disappeared quickly.She quickly untied her hair, letting it fall down.

Della's beautiful hair fell over her body in a cascade of brown cascades.

The camera gives a long close-up of the hair, comparable to those shampoo commercials.

But I have to say that Della's hair hangs down to her knees, as if she has been paved with a dress, which is indeed extremely beautiful.

But Della was nervous and hurried to comb her hair.

She hesitated for a while, then stood quietly, and suddenly the camera was shot on the ground, and one or two tears splashed on the worn-out red carpet.

As if she had made a decision, she put on an old brown coat and an old brown hat.There were still tears in her eyes, and as soon as she swung her skirt, she floated out of the room and ran downstairs to the street.

In fact, at this point, everyone present can almost guess what kind of story this is.

A struggling wife who wants to buy her husband a Christmas present, but doesn't have enough money, presumably decides to sell her hair.

After all, the previous shots have shown Della's beautiful long hair close-up many times.

It's just that, this story doesn't seem to have much to offer, does it?
