Chapter 136: Similarities with Ostrich

Xu Rui Unit 1, who had a weapon advantage next to the kitchen, pulled out two kitchen knives and threw them, but this time Xu Rui Unit 2 was well prepared and dodged them swiftly, quickly closing the distance and starting a close combat.

In the blink of an eye, all the furniture in the room was destroyed.

Xu Rui Unit 2 forced Unit 1 to the side of the TV and punched out, but it was unfortunately dodged by Unit 1. His fists left several broken screen dents on the screen, and then Unit 1 fought back and kicked the chair to pieces.

Guo Ji was so excited watching each shot that he couldn't help but kick twice. However, he was wearing a Bluetooth headset and didn't notice how loud his movements were.

The fight in the video didn't last long. When the two Xu Rui destroyed all the furniture and still couldn't decide the winner, Yan Ran appeared outside the door. Standing at the door and seeing the messy living room, she exclaimed: "What are you doing?"

It was shocking that two Xu Rui and Yan Ran appeared in the room at the same time.

At this moment, the broken TV suddenly had a picture. After a snowflake, a line of words flashed out - "The Night the Comet Came", see you at the Raindance Film Festival in Beijing in October!

Guo Ji suddenly realized that it was a promotion for the movie. The fight scene just now was very exciting!

He was going to watch it again, repeating the previous action. He looked at the time and saw that there were still fifteen minutes before the end of get off work, and then stretched his neck to look in the direction of the leader.

Hmm? Where is the leader? !

The leader's seat was empty.

"What are you watching?" A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Guo Ji felt a chill in his heart, and slowly turned around, showing an awkward but polite smile: "Mr. Gao."

"Is the work done?"

"Is it done?"

"Can I watch the video after it's done?"

"..." Guo Ji knew that it would be the same whether he answered or not.

Who knew that the leader changed the subject: "Just watch it, why are you kicking the table for no reason, don't affect others."

"Ah..." Guo Ji didn't know how to answer.

"This won't happen again." After saying that, the leader returned to his seat.

Guo Ji was stunned. Does this "this won't happen again" mean that he is not allowed to watch it again, or that he is not allowed to make any noise?

After returning to his seat, President Gao took out his mobile phone, clicked on the video, and complained in his heart: "If he can't even sneak around, what can he do!"

Yan Ran posted the complete video, while Xu Rui posted some small highlights recorded during the filming.

Fans are still bragging as always.

"It's amazing, this creativity, this fighting scene!"

"Yes, the part where Xu Rui fights himself feels almost like a Hollywood blockbuster."

"Every punch hits the flesh, and the blood boils!"

"I didn't expect it to be a movie promotion in the end, what a great turn."

If you brag too much, naturally someone will refute it.

"Stop it, this is a Hollywood blockbuster. The editing and synthesis of the fight are very obvious. Generally, a double will be used for this kind of fight. This is different from a face-to-face conversation with the same person. If you simply shoot two sets of actions during the fight and then edit and synthesize them, it is difficult to have the feeling of punching each other."

"The idea of ​​parallel time and space has been around for a long time. It is not new. Fans should not exaggerate too much."

"The two sets of action sets are very obvious, and the only thing left is handsomeness. Of course, to be fair, it is just a short video. It doesn't make sense to compare it with a real commercial blockbuster. It is considered very powerful in a short video."

Everyone said their own thing in the comments, and the communication effect was very good. Many people knew that "The Night the Comet Came" directed by Yan Ran would be screened at the Raindance Film Festival.

Seeing that some people were asking when the movie would be released, a movie lover helped popularize it in the comment area: "It is difficult for this kind of low-cost independent movie to be released in theaters. It will generally be screened at film festivals and sell discs or online copyrights. If everyone wants to watch it in the future..."

Seeing so many discussions, some independent filmmakers couldn't help but sigh that being popular is good. The quality of the movie is not known yet, but it has attracted attention.

There was jealousy in her heart, but she could only comfort herself. The discussion and popular science brought by Yan Ran and Xu Rui's popularity could at least let more people understand the difficulties of independent filmmakers. They just took it as a blessing.

At home, Du Xiao bought champagne and Xu Rui sent a message to Li Chuanping. Unfortunately, he had to work overtime and couldn't come, so the three of them sat at the table and celebrated a little.

Xu Rui raised the champagne: "Come, let me say a few words. As an outsider, I heard that in order to be shortlisted for the film festival, only two things are considered. One is the quality of the film itself, and the other is the connection. We don't have connections at present. What does that mean? It means that the quality of the film is good, the film festival's film selectors are very optimistic, and it also means that the director of Yan University will be promoted soon. Come on, cheers!"

Yan Ran couldn't stand it: "Do you have to be so exaggerated?"

Du Xiao interrupted her: "What's so exaggerated? I think it's right. Come on, cheers."

"Okay, I'll borrow your good words." Yan Ran raised the glass.

With a "ding" sound, the collision of the cups made a pleasant and crisp sound.

A little drink to ease the mood, no one drank too much.

In the evening, Xu Rui found Yan Ran holding her phone and carefully reading the video comments, and asked with a smile: "You still care about this?"

"Look for deficiencies in the audience's perception. The person who said the editing and synthesis problem is right." Yan Ran responded calmly, "Filmmakers cannot ignore the audience's feelings. If you don't read film reviews, it's like an ostrich burying its head in the sand."

Xu Rui looked at her: "You and the ostrich have something in common."

"What do you have in common?" Yan Ran asked curiously.

Xu Rui said seriously: "Long legs!"

"Annoying." Yan Ran raised her leg and gently kicked him, and asked, "What about you, do you feel uncomfortable when you see haters?"

Xu Rui admitted generously: "I am an ostrich. I don't watch it, but it's not that I feel uncomfortable when people hate me, but I feel uncomfortable when I can't fight back. I am so good at fighting back, just like I have all kinds of martial arts, but I am not allowed to go to the battlefield."

Yan Ran said unhappily: "I think it's right not to let you go!"

Xu Rui stopped talking about haters and asked: "Have you been looking for a new script recently?"

"No."

"I heard that many directors will immediately look for a new script after finishing a play. After all, good scripts are hard to find. Are you waiting for me to have a flash of inspiration?"

"No..." Yan Ran explained.

"No?" Xu Rui was surprised.

"That's not what I meant." Yan Ran smiled and leaned into his arms. "If you have a good story, I'm willing to shoot it, but I can't rush at this stage. I have to find the shortcomings of the first movie. I want to see what the film critics in the industry say and what areas I need to learn and improve before considering the second movie.

In addition, it is still unknown how much money this movie can bring back. If the next movie still does not consider financing, it depends on how much money you have. "

"Very comprehensive consideration." Xu Rui praised.

Yan Ran raised her legs and shook them, and smiled: "Of course, I have more than just long legs!"

Xu Rui looked a little dizzy: "Are you jealous of me?"

Yan Ran snorted: "What do you mean by jealous? There are chicken legs in the kitchen, don't covet mine."
