Did You Get It?

"Did You Get It??" They always like to ask questions like this.

Lu Ban was quite interested.

He saw that the question was posted last night, and he didn't know whether it was posted by a fan or a hater, but it was quite popular, otherwise it wouldn't have been pushed to the screen.

Lu Ban first looked at the answer with the most likes.

This is a professional film critic, the kind who writes 10,000-word reviews for every movie, good or bad, and whose comments on movie rating websites can easily garner hundreds of likes.

"This film is quite experimental, including its use of special effects and its creation of atmosphere."

"From a special effects perspective, the special effects in this film can be described as extremely outstanding. I don't know whether it was Legendary Studios or Fireworks Studios that worked on it, but I can say for sure that these special effects are the best that audiences can see right now. I even feel a little regretful that this is a web movie rather than a theatrical film, because the settings for streaming media are limited to 1080p, and the lack of high-resolution sources has compromised the special effects of this movie. But even so, the level is still extremely high!"

"Like the special effects in the first few minutes, which perfectly blend natural scenery with computer-generated effects and are incredibly imaginative, this kind of visual is what creates a sense of suffocation and evokes deep-seated fear. I believe everyone felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing when they saw this scene. This is normal; it's using realistic visuals to evoke our instincts, just like how watching clips of people walking at high altitudes makes our legs go weak."

"Furthermore, by creating an atmosphere and using various hints and foreshadowing, the reader is encouraged to imagine and anticipate the upcoming plot, thus increasing the sense of eeriness. For example, in the scene at the mountain shrine, many people are shocked to see the standing priests and seated shrine maidens. This is because it has been foreshadowed earlier, telling everyone that the people of the shrine are the main force against pollution, and now, these people who can protect everyone are dying here without any resistance, which creates a sense of shock."

The other party wrote several thousand words in their reply alone, showing great care.

Lu Ban carefully read all of his answers and felt that what this person said was very true.

"I never imagined I had such a deep intention. I'm so grateful to this classmate, otherwise I wouldn't have realized it."

Lu Ban gave him a thumbs up.

Scroll down, and you'll find another answer from an actor who has studied Brecht's expressive acting style.

"Thank you for the invitation. I'm in the capital and just got off the plane. Everyone has already talked about other aspects of this movie, so I'll just talk about the acting. First of all, the acting level in this movie can be divided into three levels, with the highest being the female lead, Momiji. In just one hour, she presented us with an independent, strong, gentle, and tragic female character. Every frown and smile was full of drama, and the performance was consistent throughout. It was quite excellent, especially considering that she was a newcomer."

"And the worst, I must say, is the protagonist, Lu Ban. His acting doesn't resemble a rational explorer at all; he's more like a lively, entertaining character, which dilutes much of the eerie atmosphere. It's not that this kind of role is bad, but as the protagonist, it's difficult for the audience to empathize with him. Personally, I don't like it."

After reading his comments, Lu Ban felt that he had learned a lot.

"It seems there's still a lot I can improve on. I should buy a copy of 'An Actor Prepares' and study it carefully."

He told himself this.

Lu Ban studied film and television directing in college, but he didn't study acting. His understanding of acting skills was only superficial.

Some students might ask, if you don't even know how to act yourself, how will you teach other actors to act in the future?

This is indeed a problem. Many famous directors are themselves well-known actors and have a lot of experience in acting. But if Lu Ban also masters excellent acting skills, then with his good looks, other actors will have no chance at all, and the audience's threshold for appreciation will continue to rise.

Therefore, Lu Ban did not seriously study acting skills for the sake of the healthy development and future of the entire film and television industry.

His painstaking efforts are evident.

He then looked at the third highly-rated answer.

This is an answerer specializing in anime, and their personal profile is filled with text that normal people can't understand.

"I really want to be Miss Momiji's dog, but Miss Momiji says she likes cats. I cried. I know why I'm crying, since I'm neither a dog nor a cat, because I'm actually a mouse."

"My soul peered through the window into the room, where the hanging bells jingled softly. Miss Momiji leaned lazily against the sofa, a perfectly docile orange cat perched on her shoulder, and the fireplace glowed on her face. My frozen heart warmed slightly in the breeze."

This is a long and passionate short essay, focusing entirely on cats and dogs, to express the author's humble love for the Momiji. It is sincere, touching, and deeply moving.

"What the hell is that?"

Lu Ban thought people these days were really strange, and he didn't really understand anime and manga either.

However, judging from the description, this person probably really likes Momiji.

Lu Ban touched the Crimson Crystal on the table, feeling happy for Momiji, and then sent a message to the person.

[Motionless]: I will convey your feelings to Momiji on your behalf.

The other person will surely be very happy!

After looking around, so far, "Hyakunin Isshu" has received mostly positive reviews.

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. In terms of visuals, especially the visuals of the extraordinary storyline, "Hyakunin Isshu" is definitely the best. After all, it's all real scenes, and no special effects can surpass reality.

The movie itself is only available online for one hour, so viewers will naturally have lower expectations. The plot of the movie is not a big problem, so the special effects alone are worth the ticket price.

Just like many popcorn blockbusters in theaters, audiences don't need a sophisticated script or filming techniques. As long as the big scenes are impressive and exciting enough, they can watch without thinking and kill time without any problem.

For example, if Lu Ban's movie were a 100-minute film, a proper big-screen movie that you could watch in a theater for 60 yuan, then perhaps some people would come out and complain about the plot, the visuals, and the actors' performances.

But since it's free for members, why be so demanding?

No need.

More importantly, Lu Ban's films have a certain power to influence reality. Everyone who watches the films will feel as if they are experiencing the same things as the characters in the films, which is quite unsolvable.

What ocean scene can compare to a truly breathtaking moment? 4D movies just shake the chair and spray water on your face; how can that compare to the burning sensation of actually being in that fog? It's like having a tube inserted into the back of your head—a devastating blow to the keyboard and mouse.

Lu Ban glanced at the comments on the Old Days Video Network and quickly noticed a reply from someone in the comments section.

Last night, some friends and I tried that weird little game, and it seems like we really encountered something unclean!!!

"Um?"

Lu Ban clicked on the video link attached to his answer.
