back to innocence

"...Director? Mr. Fei?" Alvin called tentatively.

But no one responded to him.

Alvin was a little flustered.

He pushed open the door.

The place where the crew is currently renting should have been the atrium after walking out of his bedroom.But probably because he was still in a dream, what he saw was the scene he least wanted to see.

Alvin immediately wanted to close the door and retreat to the original room.But before he could close the door, he heard a painful cock.

His body was stiff, and the hand on the door panel seemed to be petrified, unable to move at all.

—Whose voice is that?

Alvin wanted to know, but was very unwilling to know.

I don't know how long it took before the bang rang again.

It was very light and very weak, but it seemed deafening to Alvin's ears.

With a trembling hand, he opened the door again.

He saw the scene he was most afraid of seeing.

Alvin started walking step by step, very slowly, but couldn't stop.And in front of him was a young man with blond hair, like a doll, nailed to the wall by long nails.

The blood stained the clothes black like dirt, and even started to congeal.Alvin smelled a strong rancid stench, and saw white maggots writhing on the wound.

This scene seemed to have been seen many times in dreams, but none was as real as this time.

That brilliant blond hair is so bright, as beautiful as an angel, but fate is so cruel to him.

As if hearing footsteps, the young man nailed to the wall raised his head with great difficulty, and looked at the priest who was walking towards him.

His voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been rough and cracked, as light as a mosquito, and he shouted: "...Anil..."

Alvin stood in front of the young man, unable to tell who he was—is he Alvin?Or is it Anil?

The young man sobbed in pain, as if he wanted to shed tears, but even the tears seemed to have been completely drained.His voice was extremely hoarse, and he said a word in a very light voice.

The voice was too soft to be heard.

But Alvin heard it clearly.

"kill me."

Julian is pleading: kill me.

This is the scenario that Alvin has been trying to say no to.

He was in such pain, his eyes were pleading... he was pleading, and he had no one else to plead.

No dream is as real as this one.

Julian was pleading.

— Lord, set me free.

Alvin put his arms around his head, blocking Julian's view with his chest.

He felt that he would never be able to bear this scene, but when it really came, he found that he could not escape.

Julian had been in pain, he was in that pain.He begged for peace from the priest, but Anil was still unable to give him the peace he prayed for.

Then, at least let him end the other party's pain with his own hands.

The dagger pierced Julian's chest, and Alvin instantly felt the young man's tense body soften and lean against him.

Alvin fell to the ground, lowered his head, and let out a scream that seemed to be exhausted but could not be suppressed.

He just sat there, whimpering loudly, but suppressed to the extreme, as if he was enduring unbearable pain, he groaned.

All this continued until a pair of hands put on his shoulders, and then said softly: "Take a deep breath."

Alvin took a deep breath according to the other party's words.

The other party led him to take deep breaths one after another until the pain in Alvin's chest slowly eased.

The filming of "Night of Asmodeus" was completed in early September, and the post-production was done in the second half of October.

This film actually received a lot of attention at home and abroad, but serious problems arose when it was submitted for review in China.

Strictly speaking, this film involves blood, se'qing, religion and other content, and it is also rated R in foreign countries.But in the country, it must be deleted.

This is something that can't be helped, Fei Yi is really prepared for it.

But in the actual rating process, this situation is more serious than expected.

The national radio and television cultural control department believes that "Night of Asmodeus" involves issues such as xing'ai and superstition, and even if it is deleted, it cannot change its core content, so it believes that this film is not suitable for domestic release.

Although Estar and Huafeng have launched various public relations efforts to clear up the film, they don't know which link went wrong. In short, the attitude of the review department is very firm and they refused to send out the film for "Night of Asmodeus". Showing permission.

In other words, before the film was released, it had already lost all of its mainland box office.

Although Estar is still trying to use the relationship in hand to clear up the film, but also consciously changes the current situation, it is actually difficult, so the crew has to put more attention on the international market.

The final decision Fei Yizhen made was to participate in the film festival.

International film awards or film festivals are very useful publicity for films.Although "Night of Asmodeus" still has the virtual theater as the last card, but Fei Yi did not make this movie just for a few rounds in his own virtual theater to earn some labor. fee.

As an author, his goal is always to let more people see his works.

However, it was such a decision that turned "Night of Asmodeus" unexpectedly.

In mid-November, "Nights of Asmodeus" participated in the Maple Leaf Film Festival and won the best film, which aroused strong repercussions throughout Maple Leaf Town and even the entire continent.

"Filmmaker" magazine claimed that this play is a script of soul, a performance of genius, and a work of miracle. "Every line seems to be asking the soul, every actor seems to have traveled through history, and every shot seems to reflect a god."

"The Eighth Art" wrote: Isaac Fay's talent is a kind of talent, and there are always countless whimsy in his articles.At one time, perhaps many people thought it was the ultimate.But when he started to touch the art form of film, the collision between Fay and the Eighth Art undoubtedly sparked amazing sparks.It's hard to believe that such a young filmmaker can tell such a story so well, but it doesn't seem so surprising when it comes to Faye-he is like a keen observer with an excellent sense of the world. sensibility, and such feelings and comprehensions are finally expressed in his works.

At the end of the screening, the audience began to give a standing ovation for 10 minutes, with most in tears.

"Nights of Asmodeus" can be said to be an instant hit internationally.

This was completely beyond Fei Yizhen's surprise.

This is also easy to understand. Generally speaking, as the main creative members of the original crew, they are always very nervous before the release.Maybe they can basically judge whether what they have shot is a good movie, but it is difficult for the main creators to tell how good the movie is.

To use an old saying to describe it, this kind of mentality is "a fan of the authorities".

Fei Yizhen's movies are naturally the most in line with his own ideals.But the more this happened, the more he felt uneasy, because he understood a truth: everyone's aesthetics and understanding ability are different, so he said, "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people."

And when the audience stood and applauded, Fei Yizhen finally knew that the movie was a success.

At twelve o'clock the next day, He Qingqun from Estar's headquarters called to inform him that the inspection department had let go.

I was relieved, as long as "Night of Asmodeus" deletes some scenes that are too bloody and se'qing, it can be officially released in domestic theaters.

All this can be called a turnaround.
