"The black-and-white shooting method of "Big Buddha" may seem very retro, but it is actually an innovation. Director Yang Yi is once again at the forefront of the times, using a technique that others dare not use."

"At first, I couldn't understand why "Big Buddha" was shot in black and white, but when I saw the strange colors in the driving recorder, I suddenly realized it, and my heart became filled with panic."

"Although it is black and white, I think the black and white tones in "Big Buddha" are colorful. You can see the difference in color from the changes in light and shadow, but it also becomes more bizarre!"

"I have never seen a film like this. It is filled with a lot of black humor, including the part where they dance in front of a Buddha statue to worship the dead. It looks very absurd and funny, but it is difficult to laugh, and I feel very stressed. a rock."

"It's not a great dance, it's a practice to transcend the undead, but it's really depressing. It's obviously funny that the people they say are going to die will bless them to win the jackpot, but I can't laugh. They are all a bunch of miserable people!"

"Originally, I looked at the two protagonists with a compassionate eye, but as I looked at them, I found that I was no different from them. I was still powerless when facing injustice, and I suddenly felt sad. Get up."

"We are all low-class people. All we can do is survive. We are lucky enough to live our lives. How can we do justice? We are not Buddhas and cannot save all sentient beings."

"I used to think that praying to Buddha could pray for good things. Who knew that the Buddha's belly is so big, and it contains not only compassion and goodness, but also the evil in the world."

The evaluation of "Big Buddha" is not just about high scores. There are many and very active viewers who rate and comment on it. Many people can't let it go for a long time after watching it. They can't help but come and leave a few words of their inner feelings.

This short film also caused quite a stir in Hong Kong City. Although "Big Buddha" was not filmed in Hong Kong City, the two actors who played the protagonists of "Big Buddha" are genuine Hong Kong actors.

Although they are not as famous as the old movie stars like Dezi, and they have not made much splash in mainland movies over the years, they are all veteran actors who have been acting for many years. They have excellent acting skills and are from the bottom of society. The little characters are so real that Hong Kong audiences feel like they are real events happening around them.

The shocking plot in it also has a sense of powerlessness that they can relate to, which naturally resonates with many viewers.

Later, it became a natural thing for "Big Buddha" to win awards at the Hong Kong Film Festival.

Of course, these are things for later
The short film released by "Yang Yi's Directing Class", after the two controversial films "Uncle" and "Big Buddha", finally comes a film that is slightly less exciting and even different from the previous ones. The two short films are slightly more prosaic than the short film "Mirror" (Note 1).

The short film "Mirror" was shot by Yang Yi earlier than "Suicide Hotline", so its broadcast was also scheduled before "Suicide Hotline", giving Li Mengfei some time to polish her acting skills.

In fact, it can't be considered a dull plot. "Mirror" can even be said to have no plot.

The film only uses a bathroom mirror and uses various pseudo-long shots to record the life of a man from his childhood when he still needed something to stand on his feet before he could look in the mirror, to his old age when he staggered off and turned off the lights.The time is not long, only 6 minutes. The editing nodes are very hidden, but the editing frequency is very fast. It is a purely creative and purely technical short film!
Therefore, its online rating is not as good as the previous short films, but only slightly better than the controversial "Uncle".

However, in the two programs of "Yang Yi's Directing Live Filming Class", the audience's comments on the short film "Mirror" and these two programs were very enthusiastic!
Because through this short film and Yang Yi’s teaching during the preparation and shooting process, the audience really learned a lot!

"It turns out that this is how the mirror scene was shot. I was wondering before. It was clearly a scene shot facing a mirror, but why couldn't I see the camera? It turned out that the director didn't hide the camera, but the mirror. "

"It turns out that the mirror is fake. The person in front of the mirror and the person behind the mirror are different. No wonder the casting process was broadcast later. After watching it, I felt that I gained a lot of knowledge."

"Yang Yi's analysis of the shooting techniques of each shot is very useful. Those who study short video shooting must learn it. It turns out that you can still have fun like this!"

"Choosing actors felt even more difficult than filming. The filming was completed in one day, but it was really difficult for Yang Yi to select so many actors of different age groups who looked similar."

"Although it is clear that these shots are all spliced ​​together, these splicing points are very interesting. Yang Yi still doesn't let you see through his thoughts, like when he lowers his head and then raises his head again from four or five years old to six or seven years old, it will be It makes you think that the next change will be to lower your head and then raise your head, but no, the actor did not change when he raised his head after finding his teeth, but changed after taking a towel to wash his face!"

"The most interesting thing about watching this short film is not its plot, but that you have to battle wits with the director to guess where he will make the protagonist grow up at the next moment."

"The photographer became the biggest victim. When I saw a scene later in Yang Yi's teaching, the photographer personally went into battle, wearing big pants and showing two big hairy legs. The camera panned down to take pictures of his lower body. I really burst out laughing. !”

Of course, not everyone is praising Yang Yi's teaching. Some viewers still expressed their love for the slightly thin plot of this short film.

"Finally, there is a short film that is not so cruel. I watched "Mirror" very relaxedly. Of course, this relaxation is compared to "Uncle" and "Big Buddha"."

"Everyone says that "Mirror" is not good-looking, but I feel very touched. Because the story in "Mirror" is more like a portrayal of the life of most of us. When we were young, we didn’t understand anything. When we grow up, we start to have a passion for music and A woman is interested, then becomes an adult, messes up her marriage, and ends up alone."

"The metaphor of going out and turning off the lights later made me cry. We were once full of curiosity about the world, but slowly our eyes lost their luster and we slowly withdrew from the world quietly."

""Mirror" looks very simple, but in fact it is also very cruel, because it allows you to witness your life in 6 minutes. Life lasts only a few decades, and it is really fleeting. If you don't cherish the beauty of the past, you will never see it again. Can’t come back either.”

"Every short film directed by Yang Yi has a novel angle. I can't stop watching it!"

(Note 1: "Mirror" is a Swiss short film released in 2010.)
