The sewers in the community were quickly repaired.
Qin Tiantian had no reason to stay.
One thing to say, although I slept quite comfortably at Lu Tian's house, there was no live broadcast equipment after all, so I could only use my mobile phone to broadcast the radio broadcast, which was too risky for Qin Tiantian, who was a virtual anchor.
How could she feel that such a dedicated anchor could touch her like this?
So, the day after the sewer was repaired, Qin Tiantian returned to his home.
Not even a change of clothes was left behind.
Lu Jian continued to work and completed the second half of the film.
This time he only asked Hammer to create the ending theme. Other than that, Lu Jian did not prepare any background music.
I confirmed it several times and revised the details until I was satisfied. It was already early November and the deadline for submitting the video master tape had to be met.
Lu Jian sent the copied film to the judging panel of the Yannan University Student Film Festival.
Then there's the waiting.
On the other side, the organizing committee of the Yannan College Student Film Festival is also responsible for reviewing films, an industry insider, Jia Wenbin, a professor at Yannan University of Communication.
He is a professor of photography. He has served as a photographer for several famous films in the past. He has unique experience in the use of light and shadow. However, he later failed to transform into a director. He made two films that only had decent images and a poor reputation.
After that, he retired behind the scenes and taught peacefully at the university.
Of course, in this kind of film festival, he still serves as a jury member.
It was evening when I received the master tape of Lu Kan’s video.
"Is this the last one, um, Lu Tan, "Crying"?"
After briefly confirming the title of the film, Jia Wenbin made a copy and was ready to take it home and watch it.
Saying goodbye to his colleagues and students, he drove home, had dinner with his wife and children, and went to his study alone.
He transformed the study room into a small home theater with good sound insulation, lighting and sound reception. The movie-watching experience is no less than that of an ordinary small movie theater.
After telling his wife not to disturb him, Jia Wenbin put the CD into the player and played Lu Jian's movie on the high-resolution projection screen.
"This director seems to specialize in horror films. His previous online movies have been well received, and this time it seems to be a horror film as well."
After muttering to himself, Jia Wenbin saw the beginning of the film.
"Hey, mockumentary, it's quite thoughtful."
Yes, "Crying" produced by Lu Jian is in the form of a pseudo-documentary.
A documentary is a film that records what really happened and allows the audience to see real experiences, while a mockumentary is a film that "pretends" to record what really happened, but actually allows the audience to see a fictional story.
Speaking of the earliest pseudo-documentary, it should be "Blair Witch" in the last century. This film tells the story of three film students who went to a mountain village to shoot a documentary, but ended up mysteriously missing. It was not until a year later that someone found their cameras.
and audio tapes, so that they can understand the story of what happened through what they filmed.
Much of the content of the entire movie was composed of real shots "shot" by three people. It looked very real and immersive, and even made the audience at the time think that these things were really happening, causing a certain range of panic.
Since then, mockumentaries have been widely used in the shooting of horror movies, and have spawned many branches, including serious documentaries that record supernatural events, and ones similar to "Blair Witch" that are shot from the first-person perspective of a handheld camera.
type.
Lu Jian is the type of handheld camera.
At the very beginning of the story, Lu Tan spoke to the camera and explained a simple background. Then, the tape played and the story entered the second level.
"It's not just hand-held, but it also uses surveillance camera processing. It's very interesting."
Jia Wenbin saw that when presenting the plot of the tape, Lu Jian adopted another type of pseudo-documentary mode. He shot the subjects through "lenses" such as surveillance cameras and mobile phone cameras, which also gave a sense of presence, and he could peek from various corners.
The actors' shots give people an uneasy feeling, as if they are being watched by something.
As he watched, Jia Wenbin felt a subtle emotion in his heart.
The content of the first tape was about the troubles workers encountered during construction, which basically explained the background of the film. Only when the head of the demolition team disappeared into the room at the end of the corridor, Jia Wenbin felt a numb scalp.
After Jia Wenbin finished reading, he always felt like someone was watching him.
Looking back, Jia Wenbin could only see the wall and no one else in the huge study room.
He continued to watch the movie.
"The smell of disinfectant?"
Jia Wenbin felt the smell of hospital disinfectant in the room again. He sniffed and it seemed that the smell had disappeared again.
"Is it the psychological suggestion of the scene that creates the illusion?"
He analyzed.
Some directors are very good at using scenes, special effects, images, etc. to give psychological cues to the audience. For example, some violent scenes will show scenes of blood and flesh to make people empathize.
The hospital scenes in this movie are very realistic, just like a real hospital. With the shaping of the atmosphere, it is easy to remind people of the atmosphere of a hospital.
"After seeing through the filming techniques, it's actually quite boring, and I can't really enjoy the movie anymore."
Jia Wenbin laughed at himself, saying that for someone like him who has an occupational disease, he likes to criticize and analyze movies, which makes it difficult for him to be completely immersed in it.
After all, he is a professional photographer and has never seen any big storms.
However, what Jia Wenbin didn't expect was that after watching the plot of the second tape, his previous thoughts were gone.
When he saw the old man waving towards him, a certain shiver rose up his spine, although reason told him that this was because the old man's makeup looked like a dead person, and the previous foreshadowing made the audience think that the old man might no longer be alive.
Yes, it's corpses or ghosts greeting me now, but fear is fear.
Even people like Jia Wenbin, who can understand the director's thoughts through the language of the lens, will feel even more terrifying.
Because this means that Lu Tan did not use any fancy techniques, but simply used the screen to make Jia Wenbin immersed in the scene and feel the trembling feeling of the cold hospital corridor.
When ordinary people see a magician perform, they will feel that it is so powerful that they cannot see through it. But when a magician sees a magician performing, it would be a bit uncomfortable if he still cannot see through it.
Now Jia Wenbin can see the use of the Lukan lens, can see the focus of the actors' performances, and can feel the atmosphere created by light and shadow. However, he will put himself into the bodies of the doctors, nurses and workers in the tape and feel the same as they did at that time.
To fear, helplessness, fear.
After forcing himself to finish reading the tape, Jia Wenbin's eyes were bloodshot, and his hands tightly grasped the sofa to relieve his tension.
He saw that in the video, after the preliminary investigation was over, Lu Tiao personally entered the abandoned hospital.
