You call Final Destination a safety education film?

The next morning.

The sky was low and the clouds were so thick they looked black.

Clearly, a downpour is on its way.

Students occasionally whispered to each other around the school auditorium, then looked surprised.

Zhou Zhou, the head of the directing department, had her hair neatly combed. She wore a well-tailored dark gray suit with a plain, subtly patterned shirt underneath and shiny dark leather shoes.

Yesterday he spent the whole day running around, selling that tutor spot for a good price, and also invited a bunch of old friends to come and support him.

Zhou Zhou proudly raised his head, completely unaware of the strange looks he was getting from the crowd gathered around the school auditorium.

"Good morning, Sister Mei!"

"Mr. Zhang, it's been a long time!"

He greeted the people in the auditorium with a smile.

……

Lin Ye deliberately found a corner seat in the auditorium, ready to enjoy today's good show.

A sprightly old man appeared beside him without his noticing.

"Are you Lin Ye, the director of 'Final Destination'?"

"Who are you?"

Lin Ye was confused.

He felt that the old man in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

"Ji Qiaosong".

It turned out to be the principal.

"Hello, Principal."

Lin Ye was filled with awe and respect.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​making this for a safety education video competition?"

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​putting this in the school auditorium?"

The two foxes, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled.

"You figured it out?"

"I even checked it again."

"Confirm what?"

"Those in the middle row are all famous seniors from a few years ago..." Lin Ye curled his lip, "This is hardly a screening."

"This is a trial."

The two remained silent.

"You're not still hoping that Director Zhou will suddenly realize his mistake, are you?" Lin Ye said bluntly. "From yesterday until now, if he had even glanced at my video, he wouldn't be all flamboyant like this."

Zhou Zhou stood confidently in the front row of the auditorium, chatting with those around him with his signature humble fake smile.

It is indeed a bit "flashy".

The old principal chuckled at the word, then turned and left with his hands behind his back.

Lin Ye stared at the principal's back.

There were some things he didn't say.

I can't say.

I dare not say.

Of all the people Director Zhou contacted, how could none of them have seen his videos?

But no one tipped him off.

The former principal took drastic measures, but left room for maneuver for the department head.

He and "Final Destination" were the knife that the old principal had been waiting for.

Lin Ye would never believe that the two of them were not related.

This is getting more and more interesting.

It was truly a great show.

Lin Ye's anticipation grew stronger.

……

"Distinguished guests, welcome to our university's screening of outstanding student safety education and awareness films. On behalf of…"

No wonder it's a media university; even the hosts are like this...

"Is it pretty?"

"good……"

hiss!

Lin Ye hadn't been admiring the scenery for long when a tearing pain shot through his ears.

"Let go, let go, let go..."

Lin Ye urged him urgently in a low voice, then turned around and saw that it was Song Ruoxi, that girl.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?"

Song Ruoxi gave a soft snort, her face still showing anger.

While the speaker was still on stage, so as not to disturb others, Lin Ye carefully leaned close to Song Ruoxi's ear and whispered, "How did you find out about this event?"

Song Ruoxi's ear tips flushed a pale pink, like cherry blossoms.

She leaned close to Lin Ye's ear and whispered:

"you guess."

Hard!

The fist has hardened!

Lin Ye felt that this girl was becoming increasingly in need of discipline.

Seeing Lin Ye clench his fists but had nowhere to vent his anger, Song Ruoxi covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably.

Lin Ye quickly reached out to support her body, preventing her from trembling too much and attracting the attention of the people in front, but he didn't realize that his posture seemed a little ambiguous...

Once Song Ruoxi calmed down, Lin Ye finally let go of her hand and looked up, pretending to be speaking from the stands.

She didn't notice the pretty face next to her that was flushed red.

……

"Next, let's give a warm round of applause to Director Zhou of the Directing Department for a speech."

Applause erupted in the auditorium, louder than any of the previous sounds.

Zhou Zhou straightened his back, raised his head, and slowly spoke with a humble smile:

"Distinguished leaders, honored guests, teachers and students, good afternoon."

"Today's event is not only a screening of safety education and warning films for college students, but also a full demonstration of our school's teaching achievements."

"..."

"Finally, I wish this exhibition a complete success. Thank you everyone!"

A thunderous applause erupted like a tidal wave.

Zhou Zhou stepped off the stage with a smile.

He didn't notice that the people clapping enthusiastically had cold, mocking eyes, as if they were looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

The beautiful host walked to the center of the stage with the microphone in hand, her voice clear and pleasant:

"Thank you to Director Zhou of the Directing Department for your wonderful speech. Over the years, it is thanks to the careful guidance and support of the college leaders and faculty that we have been able to grow steadily."

"Now, let's give another round of applause to welcome the principal to the stage to officially begin this screening of outstanding safety education and awareness films for university students!"

The old principal stood up amidst applause.

But instead of going on stage, he turned around and looked at the people sitting in the auditorium behind him.

After a long while, he turned his head to the side.

He took a deep look at Zhou Zhou, the head of the directing department, who was sitting next to him.

Director Zhou was looking down, fiddling with the slight creases on his expensive suit.

The applause grew even louder, as if urging the old principal to go on stage and announce the start.

"The event...begins."

The former principal eventually went on stage to announce the start of the event, and then walked straight to the backstage area of ​​the auditorium.

The beautiful host announced loudly:

"Next, please enjoy the outstanding work shot by Lin Ye, a senior directing student at our school—"

"Final Destination".

The lights in the auditorium suddenly went out.

Zhou Zhou's eyes widened instantly.

What's your name?

Death...has arrived?

He looked up in surprise and was astonished to find that the principal had not sat back down.

The unease in my heart suddenly intensified.

The screen suddenly lit up, and the opening credits appeared.

[This video contains graphic violence and gore; viewer discretion is advised.]

Zhou Zhou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The screening has begun.

……

Everyone here is a professional in the field. Putting aside the competition theme and the screening location, from the director's perspective, the various segments of this short film are actually quite good.

Using close-ups of everyday details to create a deadly threat;

Use a God's-eye view and unbalanced composition to create a sense of destiny;

The film uses misleading editing and a domino effect to make the "unknown accident" both realistic and breathtaking;

The entire story keeps the audience in a state of anxiety, knowing they will die but not knowing how.

This senior directing student is simply a prodigy!

Zhou Zhou, sitting in the front row, had no interest in appreciating the scenery.

He had only one thought in his mind—

escape!

Someone who can serve as a university department head for so many years must not be a fool.

Given the current situation, even a fool could see that this screening was fraught with danger.

Transferred to the Education Bureau?

It's just a trick of discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose!

Zhou Zhou quickly figured everything out, his eyes fixed on the screen, as if he could see the little old man hiding backstage through the screen.
