Chapter 3 Blade Dancer—Irelia!
The theme of the competition is "War and Heroes".
For the audience and judges,
It was officially revealed at the start of the game.
But for these 100 contestants,
The program team will notify you one week in advance.
Fortunately, this is a micro-film competition.
The shooting period of micro-film is very short.
Some can even be shot in one day.
This will put the contestants' narrative skills to the test.
With story content!
When Xu Er learned the theme of this competition,
I was also surprised!
War! Heroes!
These are two very big themes!
The requirements of the competition,
It’s obvious that the intention is to combine these two grand themes together!
That's right!
Xu Er also has his own understanding of the theme of this competition!
He had just heard the explanations of the four judges on the jury panel.
Apart from Feng Gang's nonsense, what the other three directors said were very insightful!
but!
In Xuer's opinion, they did not fully understand the theme of this competition!
Maybe it’s because the judges have only been informed of the theme for so short a time!
Their understanding is biased towards heroes.
But ignored another key word!
war!
In this film, heroes are indeed very important!
And the theme of war cannot be ignored!
Exactly!
In the background story of League of Legends,
There is such a character!
It fits the theme of this competition perfectly!
She was born in a peaceful and harmonious area.
But encountered a war from invaders!
She has been practicing traditional silk dance since she was a child.
But it turned into a martial art that kills people!
Although she is young, she stands up in times of crisis!
Although she is weak, she leads the resistance army to drive the invaders out of their homeland!
She is a dancer from Ionia,
Also a hero of Ionia!
She is--
Blade Dancer, Irelia!
Ionia, the spirit is unquenchable!
……
And at this moment on the stage of the competition venue.
It's time for halftime.
Although the micro-film is short,
But the large number of films added together,
It also takes a lot of effort.
That’s why everyone says that this is the largest micro-film competition.
Just to watch these videos live,
It will probably take two days!
The audience can't watch all the time, they also need a break.
Plus the judges' explanation time,
This first game will probably take three or four days!
During the halftime break,
Wang Tiantian also brought the scripts of several films that will be screened next to the judging panel.
By the way, I also interviewed some of the judges.
To spend the halftime break.
"Then let us hear it."
"Several judges' comments on the films that were previously shown."
During the intermission, Wang Tiantian's seat was placed next to the judges' seats.
“Overall, everyone took very good photos.”
Guo Fan spoke first.
He is a new generation director.
He is also younger than the other judges.
Relatively speaking, it is not that harsh.
Zhang Yimou nodded and said:
“It can be seen that the photographers have their own understanding of the theme of the competition.”
“But I haven’t seen any work that’s completely new to me yet!”
Lao Mouzi is the oldest among these people.
There was a hint of regret in his tone at this time.
However, Feng Gang spoke bluntly.
Maybe it was to find topics for his new movie.
Feng Gang would look for scenes in the show whenever he had time.
Maybe that's why he agreed to serve as a judge.
“I don’t see what’s good about these videos!”
“We need shooting techniques, there are no shooting techniques!”
"The plot editing is not very coherent!"
"Are these people coming to compete without any preparation?!"
Feng Gang criticized the previous contestants, which made the netizens unable to bear it. ——"Microfilms are like this!"
——"You think these are all movies with big investments like yours!"
——"Lao Gangzi has lost all his shame!"
——"These micro-film directors are just newcomers and don't have much money, so how can they make good movies for you?"
The characteristic of micro-movies is “micro”.
With little initial capital, it is inevitable that these electronics are crudely made.
Therefore, it is different from the flashy and almost showy shooting techniques used by directors of blockbusters.
The micro-film competition focuses more on the contestants' shooting creativity.
With the logic of story telling!
Unlike those blockbuster movies that are often hundreds of minutes long,
A micro-movie may only be a few minutes or tens of minutes long.
In such a short time,
Tell a complete story.
Also, the theme of the competition should be highlighted.
The difficulty can be imagined!
"That's not right, there were some good films before!"
Jiang Wen immediately came out to oppose Feng Gang.
“The filming is no worse than those blockbusters!”
"I'm also thinking of picking out a few scripts to shoot myself!"
Seeing the judges' opinions becoming diametrically opposed,
Wang Tiantian quickly stood up to smooth things over.
Distribute the next batch of film scripts to be screened to the judges:
"Let's take a look at the next script first!"
"Teacher Zhang Yimou, take a look at these scripts to see if there is anything new that strikes you."
The judges read the script before the competition.
It is also a feature of this competition.
Since it is a micro-film competition, the scripts of these micro-films are even shorter.
These senior directors,
By reading the script,
To guess the film's content, shooting techniques, etc.
Then wait until the film is released and then verify the two.
If you guessed it right, everyone would be happy.
If you guess wrong,
Audiences and netizens are most looking forward to the face-slapping plot.
"Alas, I still haven't seen any good scripts!"
Feng Gang was flipping through the script.
While pretending to sigh.
He did have the idea of finding a good script and buying it to make a movie himself.
However, as soon as he said this, he was slapped in the face!
"Eh? Look at this script!"
Jiang Wen took out a script and placed it in front of them.
“This is actually an animated movie!”
Guo Fan became interested as soon as he heard it.
"Oh? Let me take a look!"
“Animated movie, very creative!”
"Yeah, it's well written!"
The performance of these two judges immediately aroused the audience's strong interest.
——"Animated movie? This seems to be the first time it appears in this competition!"
——"Aren't all animated films nowadays the same? What's so good about them?"
——"Not necessarily. Look at Guo Fan's performance. It seems the script is well written!"
——"Even if the script is well written, we still have to see how the movie turns out!"
To be honest, the movies that were shown before were also pretty good.
However, the contestants' understanding of the theme of the competition is similar.
The audience felt that some of the scenes were repetitive.
And now, finally, a novel animated film has come out!
Guo Fan pushed the script to Zhang Yimou.
Wang Tiantian also walked over to take a look out of curiosity.
The photographer was also very good.
Point the camera from above to below.
There were only four words written on the simple white script cover:
Blade Dancer!
