director of the millennium

Chapter 136 "Your Name" Premiere
"The comet that only appears once in 1200 years finally arrived a month later."

"It is estimated that within a few days, the comet can be observed with the naked eye."

"Observation agencies around the world are making observation preparations..."

Listening to the morning news broadcast on the radio, Luo Sanye's family ate quietly around the table, no one said a word.

"Grandma, let's go."

After eating, Sanye tied a ponytail with a red rope, put her schoolbags on her back and went to school together with her sister.

Sanye's family lives on the mountainside of the town, and there is a winding cement road leading directly to the main body of the town below the mountain.

The two sisters were walking along the edge of the concrete road when a bicycle carrying people was speeding up.

"Sanye, good morning!" Zhou Yang, who was hugging Zhu Yawen by the waist, greeted warmly while sitting in the back seat.

They play Luo Sanye's classmates Lin Keyan and Axiang.

"Good morning, Keyan, Axiang." Sanye also responded enthusiastically.

"Good morning." Lin Keyan greeted Sanye with a smile, then turned his head and said to Axiang with some disgust: "Get down quickly!"

"What are you doing, cheapskate!"

The way the two of them were fighting made Sanye sigh: "You two have such a good relationship."

"Who has a good relationship with him/her!" The two retorted in unison.

Lin Keyan, who looked at Sanye, noticed that the red rope that tied her ponytail was tied with a bow today, and said with a smile: "Sanye, your hair is tied up very well today."

"You were really scary yesterday."

"It's like being possessed by a ghost."

"Oh, there are no ghosts in this world." Ah Xiang patted him dissatisfied, "We Sanye are under too much pressure recently."

Luo Sanye, who was sandwiched between two people, one left and one right, had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?"

When the movie was shown here, many smart viewers saw it.

"Director Wu is using a little trick." Jiang Wen chuckled, "The scene where the heroine wakes up and touches her chest at the beginning, and the scene where she eats later are not happening on the same day."

"He directly deleted the middle day through a transition, making the audience mistakenly think that after the body-swapping heroine woke up, she went out to cook and eat."

"Actually, the heroine who was having dinner later was the original one whose body had not been changed."

"Many small tricks commonly used in movies disrupt the order of the plot through editing, making the audience confused."

"Do you still need to say it?" Chen Kaige, who had a very unhappy relationship with Jiang Wen because of the strikeout of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", sneered and said, "I saw it when the camera switched."

"Before my sister said that the meal was ready, and the heroine was frying eggs again in the camera. Doesn't this imply that it is not the same day?"

Jiang Wen's smile froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Damn, this old boy really has sharp eyes.

Wu Yuan also laughed out loud.

Regardless of how Director Chen's future films will be, he is indeed seasoned in his experience, and he can see the details of Wu Yuan's burial at a glance.

But it doesn't matter if others can't see it.

Next in the movie, two of Sanye's classmates explained the situation to her.

"Yesterday you said you couldn't remember your seat."

"The hair is still messy and not tied with a hair tie."

"And after class, I actually want to play basketball with other male students."

"It's almost like a different person."

On the school playground, the three of them sat in the corner and talked about the very different Sanye yesterday.

"No way." Sanye said a little depressed: "Speaking of which, I feel like I've been having a strange dream recently."

"In the dream, I seem to be experiencing another person's life."

"But after waking up, I can't remember what happened in the dream."

"I see!" Lin Keyan slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "According to the parallel world theory, you must have experienced your own life in a parallel world in a dream."

"There are countless parallel worlds in this world, and there is a you in each of these worlds, but their life experiences and lives may be completely different from yours!"

The more Lin Keyan talked, the more fantasy he got. Ah Xiang, who couldn't stand it anymore, interrupted: "Stop talking, you are talking too much."

But Sanye listened with great interest: "It would be great if this is true."

"I've really had enough of this small town."

"It's small and crowded. It's surrounded by Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. There's nothing there."

"There is only one canteen, no coffee shop, no bookstore, no bar, dance hall and skating rink. Every day at six or seven o'clock, the lights in the town are turned off and no one is around."

"It's so boring!"

Next, the plot of the movie mainly revolves around Sanye's life in a rural town.

I go to school during the day, and after school, I help my grandmother weave cloth with my sister, make dyed cloth with local ethnic minority characteristics, and go to the fields to help weed and turn the soil.

Whenever I am tired from work, the only enjoyment is to go to the only canteen in the town, buy a bottle of glass soda for two yuan, sit on the stone bench at the door, and drink it happily.

I have to say that Liu Yifei is really beautiful, and that kind of pure beauty.

One advantage of a pure-looking heroine is that it can easily arouse the audience's desire for protection.

Especially seeing her help the family with work, sweating profusely from exhaustion, her broken hair sticking to her cheeks, taking a sip from a glass of soda, and showing a satisfied smile on her face, it is even more distressing to see.

In fact, Wu Yuan has beautified it a lot.

Rural girls in this era have worked much harder and sadder than Luo Sanye.

Even Sanye’s life in the movie is much better than that of rural girls in backward areas in 2020
It can only be said that this movie is positioned as campus love after all, not realistic themes.

Breaking away from reality is what many movies have to do.

Of course, the plot of a girl singing a wine song prepared by Wu Yuan was also shown.

Thanks to the good lighting of the lighting engineer, the effect of this episode on the big screen is simply beautiful.

The guests who can come to the premiere are more or less talented in the industry, and naturally they will not view this plot superficially, and mostly appreciate the beauty of the camera.

That is to look at it from the perspective of appreciating "art".

But Jiang Wen was different. He watched Liu Yifei smiling like a flower on the screen, stepping on the wine koji with her white, tender and rosy feet, and made a "tsk tsk" sound.

"Director Wu can still shoot. This shot is so beautiful."

Jiang Wen is somewhat similar to Quentin, he also likes to show physical beauty in movies.

Take a look at his film "The Righteous One", in which Peng Yuyan and Xu Qing have a lot of "selling meat" scenes.

After the movie was released, the reporter asked him what the meaning of these clips was, and whether there was any artistic expression, but Jiang Wen said very bluntly: "It's meaningless, it's just good-looking and beautiful."

"Don't you think it looks good? Don't you think it's beautiful?"

This confused the reporters, it was the first time I saw such a straightforward director.

But I have to admit that what Jiang Wen said is right, Xu Qing's buttocks are really good-looking, and the audience loves to watch them too!

Wu Yuan's thoughts are actually similar to Jiang Wen's.

He filmed this episode of stepping on wine, and there really wasn't any artistic expression, purely because he thought it looked good.

Sometimes when watching a movie, I really don’t need to think about it all the time, what is the purpose of this plot, and what is the deep meaning of that plot.

Director Kege just can't understand this point. He always wants to put a lot of his own ideas into the movie. Even if it is a commercial film, he still has to play with depth and express various so-called "high arts", and then make people watch it in a fog. inside.

Chen Kaige looked at the screen showing Liu Yifei playing wine koji, as well as various close-ups, and was thinking about whether Wu Yuan wanted to express something, or whether there would be any foreshadowing in this plot later.

In the end, he was wrong, and there was no other foreshadowing at all.

The first 20 minutes of the entire movie are basically relatively straightforward, following Luo Sanye through the camera, taking the audience to understand her life.

Until one night, the exhausted Luo Sanye took his younger sister to sit on the lawn on the mountainside, and shouted at the shooting stars in the sky: "I don't want to stay in this small town anymore."

"If there is a next life, I hope to be a handsome guy living in the capital!"

So the handsome guy living in the capital really appeared.

Lin Wenjie, who disappeared after a quick glimpse at the beginning, reappears and begins the really funny part of the film.

Sanye, who switched bodies with Lin Wenjie in her dream, began to feel the life of a high school student in a big city.

Lin Wenjie also began to appreciate the life of a small town girl.

The two messed into each other's life, both caused a lot of trouble to each other, and also brought a lot of jokes to the people around them.

Sanye, who has always been quiet and sensible, turns into a sunny and cheerful boy every now and then, mingling with the boys at school, playing basketball together, and drinking soda with their arms around each other's shoulders.

If he is bullied by the teacher in class, he will bravely resist, and even make fun of the teacher in turn.

So much so that Sanye, who had changed her body back, actually received a love letter from a female classmate
Sanye, who has entered Lin Wenjie's body, is also enjoying the fun and delicious food in the big city. With her experience in helping the family from childhood, she has successfully completed Lin Wenjie's part-time job in the restaurant.

Unlike kids from big cities who are careless and don't know how to work as a waiter, Sanye is a handy waiter who can do a job with ease.

And Sanye, who is delicate, kind and gentle, easily gets along with her colleagues in the restaurant, and even Sun Meimei, the flower of the restaurant, is a little moved by her and proposes a date invitation.

The two people who would never meet before, exchanged bodies every day, while bringing some troubles to each other, they also helped each other change a lot.

After gradually getting used to this body-swapping life, both of them wrote down their requirements for each other, what they prohibited each other from doing, and most importantly, each other's name in their notebooks.

The entire first half of the movie is light-hearted and humorous. The awkward jokes about body swapping, coupled with the changes in interpersonal relationships caused by the different personalities of the two parties, make people laugh out loud from time to time.

If the whole movie continues this style, it will be a light-hearted romantic comedy.

But of course Wu Yuan would not do this.

After changing his body again, when Lin Wenjie used his own identity to date Sun Meimei for a day, he found that this goddess whom he had longed for and had a crush on, seemed unable to cause any disturbance in his heart.

Sun Meimei also felt that the boy in front of her seemed to be different from the one she liked.

And in his heart, he didn't know when, but another girl had already moved in.

Lin Wenjie, who had realized this, had an idea in his heart.

He wanted to see Sanye in person instead of swapping bodies with her in his dreams.

He recalled the name of Sanye's hometown town that he had heard after switching bodies, and searched for this town online for the first time.

However, the first news that he searched made him stunned.

"A major disaster caused by a meteor shower that occurs once in 1200 years, Bixi Town in southern Yunnan was hit by a meteor and destroyed!"

In the news, there was a photo of Bixi Town after the disaster. A large crater replaced the prosperous and warm mountain town.

And this news was actually from three years ago.
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Lin Wenjie held his head in his hands and muttered in panic.

"It's impossible for me not to know about such a big accident!"

He had no news impression of this natural disaster at all before!

Suddenly, a large memory came to his mind. He saw this report on TV three years ago, as well as the subsequent disaster relief news.

Of the 3457 people in the town, none survived.

It was as if this memory had been deliberately forgotten before, and now it suddenly came to mind.

The plot took a turn for the worse.

The smiles on the faces of the guests in the screening room also disappeared.

Zhang Yimou nodded slightly, he already knew how the next plot was going to be filmed.

"The next thing is for the hero to try to save the heroine." He said calmly.

The story is not complicated. In fact, commercial films do not need complicated stories. The easier it is for the audience to understand, the better.

And a simple story doesn't mean it's bad.

The image of Sanye created in the first half of the movie is very good. She is kind and sensible. Although she complains that life in a small town is boring, she still faces life positively every day.

The most important thing is that the whole town has a warm atmosphere. It cannot be said to be a paradise, but it is definitely a quiet, peaceful and warm place.

Such a beautiful and warm town, no one with normal moral values ​​would want to see it destroyed by natural disasters like this.

Naturally, the hearts of the audience were also aroused, hoping that Lin Wenjie could change this past history, save this town, save the kind and sensible Luo Sanye, and her lovely sister and gentle grandma...

This is why Wu Yuan focused on Luo Sanye's perspective in the first half of the movie. If this character and this small town were not filmed alive, the audience would not be able to resonate with the hero after the plot was reversed. .

The movie continues.

Thinking of all this, Lin Wenjie asked his father for a sum of money, and immediately bought a plane ticket to south Yunnan. He didn't believe that Sanye was dead, and he clearly exchanged bodies with her in his dream.

My sister, grandma, Axiang, Lin Keyan, and everyone in the town.

Each of them is a fresh and warm life in Lin Wenjie's memory!

He didn't want to believe all this, so he flew to Yunnan Province as fast as he could, found a person who knew the location of the town, and led him up a mountain opposite the town.

Looking away, there are only dilapidated ruins and a crater that has been filled with lake water.

"Impossible, it's impossible!"

"I remember this high school, the playground, and the mountain next to it clearly. How did it become like this!"

The local middle-aged man who brought him here sighed: "You know about the disaster three years ago, right?"

"The 3457 people in the town died under the meteorite."

"Dead?" Lin Wenjie's expression was blank and his eyes were loose. "Three years ago, died?"

"how is this possible!"

At a loss, he pulled out a diary from the backpack he carried with him, and opened it in front of the middle-aged man in a panic, as if he had grasped the last straw.

"Look, the diary she wrote is still fine!"

"What diary?" The middle-aged man asked in astonishment.

Lin Wenjie quickly turned it over again and looked at the diary, only to find that the daily life records that Sanye had shared with her, and the various body-swapping rules that were clearly recorded on it before, had all disappeared completely.

The entire diary is blank.

All traces of her existence in this world have disappeared.

Lin Wenjie sat slumped on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained.

"What's going on with all this"
