Chapter 4: The First Land - Ionia

"Blade Dancer?"

After Zhang Yimou read a sentence, he slowly opened the script.

The content behind the script,

The photographer naturally won't take pictures again.

The specific content of the film,
Of course, I will save it for the official viewing later.

Otherwise, wouldn’t this be a spoiler?

The program group's operation,

It can be said that it has aroused the curiosity of the audience.

——"Blade Dancer, is this the protagonist of the movie?"

——"This combination is a bit weird. How are blades and dancing connected?"

——"I'm more curious whether this blade dancer is male or female."

——"Yeah, those previous films were all about Saving Private Ryan. I have memorized this plot!"

——"Will it be a female hero? Someone like Hua Mulan?"

However, just a title has attracted the audience's attention.

Not only the audience in the venue started discussing,
There are even discussions about "Blade Dancer" on the Internet.

Everyone was puzzled.

This movie titled
What kind of content will be filmed?
It can also be combined with the competition theme of "War and Heroes".

If it's just a title, you can't even tell whether the protagonist is male or female.

Dancers can be male or female.

And if it is connected with the blade,
More viewers judged that

The protagonist will be a male.

On the stage, the judges' seats

Zhang Yimou also quickly finished flipping through the booklet containing the script.

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment before commenting:

“Really good!”

Even Wang Tiantian, who was watching from the sidelines,
They all nodded very vigorously and looked very excited.

“I think this script is really well written!”

“It makes my blood boil!”

Wang Tiantian was generous with her praise.

However, Zhang Yimou still poured cold water on her.

“But the final result will depend on how the film is made.”

After all, this is a film competition, not a script competition.

After Feng Gang read the script,
I was thinking of making some deliberate criticisms,

To show your uniqueness.

At this time, the other three judges all said it was good.

He couldn't be so shameless.
I had no choice but to follow and agree.

This also led to the fact that this was the first time since the start of the game.
The only script that received unanimous praise from all four judges.

All the audiences are looking forward to this film called "Blade Dancer".

So that no one had any thoughts,
Watch the following movie.

But soon,

In everyone's expectation,

This much-anticipated film,
It’s time for the show!
……

The big screen on the stage slowly brightened.

Accompanied by a harmonious music.

A peaceful and tranquil land appeared before people's eyes.

Small bridges, flowing water, and smoke from rice fields.

It is just like the Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming.

At the same time, the voice-over also introduces this land to everyone.

This is Ionia, the land known as the "First Land".

The pursuit of balance in all things has long been the cultural tone here.

The residents here have always lived a peaceful and prosperous life.

……

Wang Tiantian has always been paying close attention to this film.
At this time, he turned to the judges and asked:
"I wonder what the judges think of this opening?"

Feng Gang, who just wanted to show off himself, finally couldn't help it.

"In my opinion, this beginning is too ordinary!"

"He took so much trouble to describe this land called Ionia."

"I think any experienced audience can see his purpose!"

"That means there will be a war here in the future!"

"And war will destroy the peace here!"

"Turn this peaceful and harmonious land into ruins!"

Feng Gang proudly expressed his views.

"This director's purpose is so easy to guess!"

"My review is meaningless!"

"If the beginning is not attractive enough!" "Then his film has already failed!"

Feng Gang only read this short beginning.
This outrageous theory has already been determined.

The host Wang Tiantian frowned.
She didn't think,
You can tell whether a movie is good or not just by looking at its beginning.

But she is not a professional.

I can only say politely:
“But I think it’s pretty nice!”

"Let's hear what the other judges think!"

The microphone was handed to director Guo Fan standing beside him.

He glanced at Feng Gang and said:
"I have a different opinion from Director Feng Gang!"

"Although combined with the theme of the contest, we all know that war is about to happen in Ionia!"

"But isn't that attractive?"

War is also a kind of disaster.

Guo Fan, who filmed "The Wandering Earth", has more say in this matter than Feng Gang!

“Take The Wandering Earth for example!”

"Everyone knows the title of this film, the earth is going to wander!"

"I think you can definitely guess the theme of the movie!"

“But will this affect the audience’s expectations?”

Guo Fan's words touched the hearts of all the spectators inside and outside the venue.

This not only did not affect the movie's attendance,

on the contrary!

"The Wandering Earth" created a miracle in the Chinese film industry!

Jiang Wenye nodded at the right time and said:

"agree!"

"Besides, I think, perhaps such an opening will make the audience look forward to the subsequent plot even more!"

“Just think about it, who among us would not want to live in such a peaceful and harmonious area?”

"Similarly, if this paradise is destroyed by war!"

“Who wouldn’t feel heartbroken?”

"To some extent!"

"Tragedy is more impressive than comedy!"

Wang Tiantian nodded thoughtfully.

"Teacher Jiang Wen touched my heart."

Maybe it’s because girls are more emotional.

"The thought that such a beautiful picture might be ruined!"

"I feel like crying..."

Zhang Yimou interrupted and said:
"Tiantian, you are wrong."

"It's not maybe, it will definitely be destroyed!"

"Don't underestimate this unremarkable beginning!"

"The most important story background has been shown through these few short shots!"

Zhang Yimou said with a shining expression.

"Director Feng Gang said that this beginning is very ordinary and not surprising, which is indeed true!"

“But don’t forget what the beginning is all about!”

"That is to pave the way for the story of the entire subsequent film!"

"In my opinion, this director's narrative technique is very sophisticated!"

"As Guo Fanduo said, have these shots already left a deep impression on everyone about the beautiful land of Ionia?"

"And this is the area where the story is going to take place!"

He smiled calmly and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, next!"

“It’s time for the protagonist of the story to appear!”

I can only say that Lao Mouzi is worthy of being a veteran director.
His evaluation,

That’s the approach that Xuer made with this film.

——"It really dawned on me! It turns out that this simple beginning has so many interpretations!"

——"What the hell, I was almost misled by this Feng Gang!"

——"I think what the other directors said makes more sense!"

——"Alas, is such a beautiful and harmonious place about to encounter war?"

——"I can't bear to watch it anymore!"

——"I am actually looking forward to how this film will capture the theme of the competition!"

At this time, Feng Gang's face turned a little dark after being refuted by everyone.

If he saw the comments online,
I'm afraid the whole body will get emphysema!

……

And amid the discussion among viewers across the Internet.

The film also ushered in the next scene.

The picture on the big screen changed.

A cute little girl appeared in front of the camera!
