This star is from the earth

Chapter 430 Finally Arriving



In a series of cheerful background music, a country house that fits the cheerful music appears in the picture, and the sun shines on half of its wall. The villa is not far from the sea, surrounded by trees and mountains.

"Tim, son, this matter sounds a bit strange, but it is indeed a secret." In the study, a middle-aged American man with slightly gray hair gestured his hands, as if he wanted to announce something very important.

But amidst the upbeat background music, this important secret feels like a joke no matter how you look at it.

The young man named Tim was sitting on the sofa, holding hands, excitedly waiting for his dad to tell a funny secret.

"To put it simply, all the men in our family have a superpower..." The middle-aged man leaned on the back of the chair with one hand and put the other in his pocket, and said in a flat tone, "Time travel."

Upbeat music fades out.

The smile disappeared from Tim's face.

He let out a dull "Wow", not knowing whether he was lamenting this amazing secret or lamenting that his father was seriously ill.

In the next shot, Tim and his father appear outside the villa.

The sun was just right, and two young and beautiful American girls were sunbathing not far from them.

"Tim, can you put some sunscreen on my back?" one of the girls asked Tim, looking up.

"good!"

Tim readily accepts, but clumsily he justifiably screwed up everything - he squeezed half a bottle of sunscreen onto the girl's back.

but.

"Tim, can you put some sunscreen on my back?" Same girl, same gesture, same request.

"good."

The same scene and dialogue appeared twice.

But in the second time, Tim didn't make any mistakes. He calmly applied sunscreen on the girl's back, and his movements were as skilled as a professional.

"Ah...you paint so well." The girl exclaimed from the bottom of her throat.

"This is my specialty." Tim's tone was flat, as if the squeeze of half a bottle of sunscreen had never happened.

This reminds people of Tim's family secret - time travel.

The conversation between Tim and his dad sounded out of the screen at the right time.

"How can I truly time travel?"

"Go to a dark place, mentally recall the moment you want to go, and you will return to that moment."

After Tim knew the secret, his first thought was to find himself a girlfriend with this superpower.

And this superpower perfectly embodies the beauty of it when applying sunscreen before-never go wrong.

In other words, he has unlimited opportunities for trial and error.

[If you could repeat every moment of your life, would you make your life more perfect? ] This line appears in the middle of the screen.

Tim felt that his life had actually become more perfect, at least in love.

Tim approached a girl named Mary at the party, and relied on superpowers to come back again and again, from the original disaster-type conversation to a happy one.

He made love with Mary for the first time, learned to untie the bra time and time again with superpowers, and made his performance on the bed better.

Later they fell in love and lived together.

But having the super power of time travel does not mean that life can be unscrupulous from now on. Time travel can sometimes create a butterfly effect that can lead to disaster.

As soon as the camera turned, the girlfriend who was originally in love with Tim asked him who he was with a puzzled face.

Tim stood there in a daze, with an unacceptable expression on his face.

"You can't go to the time of Gaozu to found a country together."

"You can't take Zhang Yiman home either."

"You should use this skill where it can really change your life."

Tim's father, as a senior superpower user, taught Tim travel experience in this way.

The screen ends and subtitles appear.

【Tim——Di Jack】

【Mary - Jennifer】

【Director and screenwriter——Han Jue】

"Time Traveler"

………………………

"Hey Hey Hey!"

Jack sat in the diner, grinning and watched the trailer of "Time Traveler" over and over again. Even the steamed dumplings on the side are cold.

Whenever his name appears at the end of the trailer, Jack pauses to appreciate it. The mood is the same as when I saw my name on the university admission letter. Fireworks rose in my heart.

The surname Di is not Jack's real surname, and there is no similar pronunciation in his American surname. Di was the surname of the director of the first Chinese movie he watched when he was a child, and he used it as a surname as a tribute.

The trailer for "Time and Space Traveler" was released early this morning.

After the movie was over, Jack was left with nothing to do. He has already resigned from the drama work, and the filming experience of "Time and Space Traveler" has not become a stepping stone for him to enter Chinese movies. According to the original plan, he should return to the United States.

But according to Xia Yuan, their film is aimed at the [Zhu Men Film Festival]. Xia Yuan advised him to stay in Huaxia and wait for a result before making a decision.

Then Jack stayed in Huaxia, waiting for a result.

Jack spends his time at home, reading books, watching dramas, and watching movies on weekdays. Sometimes he hangs out with Jarrence, and organizes a group to take risks to touch Han Jue's cat.

During the period, Jack approached Han Jue, who was in the post-production period, and asked him how he felt about the film editing.

Han Jue was very dissatisfied: "It's too bad!"

Han Jue often edited the later content, and when he looked back at the previous content, it was not pleasing to the eye, saying it was all shit. How it should be here, and how it should be there.

For things like movies, once the filming is over, the next thing you see are all shortcomings.

Han Jue's tone of criticizing his film was not a joke, the desire to take the crew to the countryside for re-shooting and re-shooting was particularly strong. If Xia Yuan hadn't suppressed Han Jue, Han Jue might have really done this with the support of Jalens' unprincipled capital.

After several inquiries, Han Jue's answer was not very positive, which made Jack's heart sink more and more.

He didn't know whether the final result was what he wanted.

It wasn't until the film was shortlisted for the "Great Men Film Festival" that Jack was in a better mood. [Zhumen Film Festival] In recent years, there have been a few good films released, but there is still a long way to go before other films are good, and they all become cannon fodder. Jack is in a good mood because at least he can see his movie one last time.

He figured it out, no matter whether the movie is good, bad, mediocre, or mediocre in the end, it is his work, and it may even be the last movie, so he can accept whatever the final movie looks like.

Turning on his phone this morning, Jack saw this trailer released by [Han Jue Studio] on Weibo. He watched it five times before he realized what kind of a game he had made with a group of newcomers cross-border ticketing team. works out.

The trailer is not stupid enough to cut out the best part of the movie, it just reveals its concept, throws a negative suspense, and lures the audience.

Even if Jack is one of the main creators, he was tempted after knowing all the plots, and wanted to watch the feature film very much.

Jack only has one toe in the movie business. In addition to the actor's performance, other things such as the director's understanding and control of the story, lens language, script presentation, photography style, editing rhythm, art, soundtrack, lighting, color grading... He has a little understanding of these.

But this did not prevent him from paying tribute to the patchwork grass-roots team, and was deeply surprised by Han Jue's talent.

He has read the script of "Time and Space Traveler" no less than a hundred times, and the final vision has really exceeded his expectations, and the degree of completion is higher than expected. It simply doesn't look like a newcomer's work.

This is a love movie dressed in sci-fi, and even has a taste of chicken soup. When Jack was a student, he would not have liked such a movie. But now, Jake has declared it his most anticipated movie of the year.

"Everyone remember to watch "Time and Space Traveler"!" Jack stood up and shouted to the others in the restaurant.

"Crazy!" The waiter scolded Jack. She was very impressed with Jack, and she wanted eight steamed dumplings every time she came. If you give seven, he will make trouble and cry.

"My movie is out!" Jack was not annoyed when he was scolded, he smiled and showed his mobile phone to others, "This is the movie I made! I am the leading actor!"

"Oh, that's amazing, brother!" A diner nearby asked with a smile, "Where can I watch this movie?"

Jack paused with a smile: "Chang'an?"

[Zhumen Film Festival] is in Chang'an.

"What a madman! Go to Chang'an to see a bad movie!" The waiter threw down a basket of steamed dumplings with a bang, not feeling at all that she had to entertain the future movie star sitting in front of her.

"You can say I'm crazy, but you can't say this is a bad movie!" Jack frowned and glared at the waiter.

The waiter rolled his eyes, turned around and left, not bothering to ignore him.

Jack was in high spirits, and felt that the probability of staying in China could be recalculated.

Jack ate all eight steamed dumplings in one go, and then called his colleagues after leaving the small restaurant.

"Jennifer! Have you seen the trailer? Go and see it! You are so beautiful!"

"Peter! Yes, yes, you read it too? Hahahaha! I just finished watching..."

"HELLO? Hello? Is it Christina? Oh, sorry, sorry, wrong person."

"Rebecca, has Christina's number changed? Huh? When did she return to America? Okay..."

"..."

Although everyone heard that "Time and Space Traveler" was shortlisted for the "Zhumen Film Festival", except for fans related to Han Jue, other people's expectations for this movie will not be too high. It didn't take long to forget about it.

But when the opening of the [Zhumen Film Festival] was approaching, the trailer of "Time and Space Traveler" was released without warning.

This trailer immediately stirred up a storm, making people really look directly at the fact that Han Jue is not a play director.

He is a real movie director who has ambitions in movies.

[Xiaochi Chichi] Naturally, he will not miss the forwarding notice. Zhang Yiman reposted this trailer, Gu Fan reposted it, Xiao Fan reposted it, Song Yin and Pei Qing also reposted it, many people at home and abroad who had friendship with Han Jue all reposted it...even Huang Kun also reposted it up.

More and more people see this trailer.

In fact, this trailer can only be said to be okay in the Chinese film and television industry, but what surprised people is that this is Han Jue's movie. This is a movie made by Han Jue and a group of grass-roots team who put together everything.

After watching the trailer, many netizens have the desire to watch this movie. Knowing that when they saw the last [Director——Han Jue], they couldn't believe their eyes and thought it was a spoof video. Surprised when he learned the truth.

Among them, some people in the film and television industry came out and couldn't wait to express their views on "Time and Space Traveler". Some say it's average, but since Han Jue is a rookie director, I'll give it three out of five stars. It is said that Han Jue cut all the essence in the trailer. There are even some conspiracy theories, saying that Han Jue is just a name, and this is actually the assistant director.

Netizens followed blindly, stood in line, waved flags and shouted, but in fact they were helping to promote in disguise.

When the time was almost right, [Han Jue Studio] released another series of videos called [Director's Notes] amidst the uproar. Attracted countless eyes.

This first video of "Director's Notes" is mainly about how Han Jue started from scratch and implemented a concept in his head into the script.

The subtitle [From zero to existence - the birth of a film] means that after this series of videos, the scenes directed by Han Jue on the set will be released one after another, and even the edited pictures.

A look that is not afraid of others questioning the proxy shooter and falsifying.

When the crew of "Time and Space Traveler" saw these videos, they were not surprised at all. When they were on the set, they often saw Han Jue's assistant called Xiao Zhou, doing set work and patting everywhere. It’s just that some people said that Xiao Zhou’s shooting of these videos would be doubtful and prescient, but everyone refused to believe it.

A few days later, Xia Yuan called, planning to gather the main creative staff and fly to Chang'an for the exhibition. When he called Jack, he asked if he had a dress.

Jack asked if he could wear a suit.

Xia Yuan said yes, after all, Han Jue accepted a suit endorsement, so he had to wear a suit.

Jack said with a smile, then he will follow the steps of Director Han.

Next stop, Chang'an.

Chang'an is the ancient name of Xi'an.
