Chapter 2 Competition Theme: War and Heroes!

The so-called micro-movie is a short film with a complete storyline that has some minor features compared to normal movies, such as "micro time", "micro-cycle production" and "micro-scale investment".

People who shoot micro-films are often film students who have just stepped out of school, or newcomers who have just entered the film industry with dreams of making movies.

In a nutshell, they have "no money, no goods, and no silver."

Coincidentally, Xu Er, who traveled to this parallel world, is such a new filmmaker.

After seeing the four judges invited by the program team,

This tall and handsome young man was also a little nervous.

After traveling through time, Xu Er discovered that he did not have the standard system for time travelers.

All that came with him was his talent and handsome looks.

After some exploration, Xu Er discovered that he must have traveled to a parallel world.

The animation production technology in this world is extremely mature.

Maybe it’s because of the misuse of technology.

The narrative content and story structure of the animated film seem very dry.

So in the eyes of most directors,

Animated movies are just something for little kids.

Only those directors who have little start-up capital,

Only then will they choose to use animation to make movies.

Xu Er, a college graduate, had little money.

In addition, Xuer also discovered that the game League of Legends did not appear in this world!
This means that he can shoot those soul-stirring heroic hymns!
So he resolutely put all his funds into
Immerse yourself in this movie!
……

At this time, after Wang Tiantian announced the official start of the micro-film competition,
A super huge screen slowly rises on the big stage!
Even bigger than IMAX!

I'm afraid this big screen is the project that costs the most for the program crew!

Even though I was shocked again and again by the generosity of the program team,
The audience inside and outside the venue were still shocked.

Even the four directors on the jury were amazed.

"To be honest, this was the first time I saw such a big screen, and I was also scared!"

Wang Tiantian's joke was just right.

When the big screen was fully raised, the black screen gradually brightened.

After a while of light changes,

A few big words appeared on the big screen:

War and Heroes!!

"That's right!"

"This is the theme of the first game of our micro-film competition!"

Wang Tiantian came to the judges' seat at this time, pointed to the big words on the screen, and said solemnly:

"War and Heroes!"

"Since ancient times, whenever there is a war, countless heroes will emerge from it!"

Wang Tiantian's voice is still sweet, but her tone is very serious.

"War and peace are the eternal themes of mankind!"

"I think our Chinese nation can understand this topic better!"

“Now we have the hard-earned peace!

"It was earned by the sacrifices of the heroes who constantly emerged in the war!"

This is also the reason why this micro-film competition chose this theme!
Today, the whole world is facing major changes unseen in a century!

Maybe there will be a war, and where there is a war there will definitely be heroes!
"We must not only remember the heroes of our ancestors!"

"If there really is a war, there will definitely be heroes among us!"

"He may be among us!"

"We must remember those heroes in the war!"

“We would like to use this competition to commemorate our heroes!”

Wang Tiantian's solemn voice was accompanied by grand music.

Film excerpts about our ancestors’ heroes were also played on the big screen.

Countless viewers were moved to tears instantly.

——"I don't know if I'm a hero! But I will definitely stand up when the time comes!"

——"My grandfather once participated in the war and still has his old military uniform!"

——"My grandfather was the same. He participated in the war against Vietnam and often took out his medals to look at them!"

——"The two people upstairs, your grandfathers are heroes!!!"

——"As a retired soldier, I can't promise too much, but I can promise that if there is a call to battle, I will return!"

——"And you, my friend, you are the real hero!"

As a member of the Chinese nation,
Audiences inside and outside the stadium,

Everyone can understand the theme of this competition!
There is no doubt that as the opening theme,
"War and Heroes!"
It couldn't be more suitable!

After introducing the theme of the competition, Wang Tiantian came to the judges' seats and interviewed the four judges.

The contestants already knew the theme of this competition.

But it was kept secret from the audience and judges.

Therefore, the four judges also knew about it for the first time.

Coincidentally, all four directors have shot films with themes such as "war and heroes"!

I have to admire the good intentions of the program crew!

"We all know that Mr. Zhang Yimou once shot a film!"

"The name is 'Hero'!" "Then may I ask what you think about the theme of this competition?"

After hearing Wang Tiantian's interview, Zhang Yimou's already serious and thin face became even more serious.

I only heard him say slowly:

"Different people have different understandings of the word 'hero'."

It is obvious that the theme of "war and heroes" resonated with Zhang Yimou.

The film he shot, "Hero", was based on the story of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin.

In the film, there are a total of four assassins who want to assassinate the King of Qin.

These four assassins have different understandings of "hero".
A different ending was also arranged by Zhang Yimou.

“I wonder if I can see the hero of my imagination this time?”

After talking about his understanding, Zhang Yimou sighed.

After he finished speaking, the other three judges nodded.

——"As expected of Zhang Yimou, he really hit the nail on the head!"

——"I also watched the movie Hero that he shot."

——"You may not understand it, but it is really beautiful!"

——"Lao Mouzi may not be good at telling stories, but he is absolutely amazing at shooting big scenes!"

Lao Mouzi's remarks aroused the emotion of countless audiences inside and outside the venue.

Zhang Yimou's words were so precious. Jiang Wen thought for a moment and said:
“This theme looks easy to create.”

“But it is actually very difficult to create something outstanding!”

Just like Zhang Yimou said, what is a hero?

different people have different opinions,

No one can accurately locate it!

Jiang Wen uses Zhang Yimou's film "Hero" to explain:

"Is the assassin who is determined to kill the King of Qin a hero?"

"Is Wuming, who finally gave up on assassinating the King of Qin, a hero?"

"And the Qin King Ying Zheng, he unified the country, was he also a hero?"

Jiang Wen's explanation helped the audience better understand the theme of this competition.

This is also the reason why Wang Tiantian interviewed the four director judges before the competition.

You know, the audience's scores account for a large proportion of this competition!

Next it was Feng Gang's turn to explain.

But in his opinion, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen had said almost the same thing.

So Feng Gang talked about the same old things.

He said a lot of things in a long-winded manner.

The nonsense literature that is repeated over and over again,
The content was exactly what Zhang Yimou had just said to Jiang Wen.

Even Wang Tiantian was getting impatient.
Fortunately, she has good hosting skills.

The audience in the audience didn't even want to listen.

I have an even worse impression of this pretentious Feng Gang.

On the contrary, Guo Fan, a new generation director,
When Wang Tiantian interviewed
Express your new insights!

Because in the movie "The Wandering Earth" directed by him,

There is no war though!

But there are heroes everywhere!

more specifically,
What he photographed was the war between humans and disasters!
"Although I don't know much about the war, I also want to talk about my views on heroes."

Guo Fan obviously has his own understanding.

“Not only the big guys are heroes!”

"What about the little people?"

"I guess they're heroes too!"

"When natural disasters strike, everyone who works hard for the survival of mankind is a hero!"

"I think everyone here will be a hero!!!"

As soon as Guo Fan finished speaking, the venue burst into thunderous applause that lasted for a long time!
——"That's very well said! The corners of my mouth, ugh! The corners of my eyes are wet!"

——"The Wandering Earth's Eternal God!!"

——"This is much better than that long-winded Feng Gang!"

——"Brothers, you and I are all heroes!"

"As expected of our judge teacher!"

Wang Tiantian turned around and said:
"Teacher Guo Fan has given us a deeper understanding of heroes!"

"So!"

As Wang Tiantian spoke, she pointed her palm towards the big screen.

"Let's see!"

"These 100 contestants share their understanding of "War and Heroes"!"

As the picture on the big screen changed.

A colorful picture appears.

The first contestant's video begins playing.

The competition officially starts!
