1. I find that all movies that involve the concept of "circulation", no matter the story is boring or good-looking, can attract audiences and get a relatively high evaluation. For example, "The Night The Comet Arrives", "Edge of Tomorrow", "Source Code", "Butterfly Effect", "Inception" and "Terror Cruise". This reminds me of the theme of travel that became popular in the early 1990s because of "Love in Interlaced Time and Space." For a few years, it really became popular when it involved travel, regardless of the story. Maybe the audience likes this conceptual freshness. (For this kind of conceptual work, it is easy to follow the trend, but difficult to develop because it requires a certain amount of imagination. But there is a shortcut: in fact, every concept has been mentioned before the pioneers lead it, and it has a wide range of reading and strong recognition ability. These original materials can be extracted.)
2. Many time-cycle movies, because of over-reliance on the concept, the entire movie is based on this concept, resulting in poor storytelling (actual viewing value). If you add story elements or ideas to the concept of circulation, you can create a magical film. For example, "Inception", which adds the problem of dreams to the concept of circulation, allows the audience to think about illusion and reality; "Butterfly Effect" adds the idea of changing fate in details.
3. The story of "Time Transmission" is actually relatively weak. Every cycle has reversals, but every reversal is not well prepared. For example: ①The heroine is actually the conspiracy of the kidnappers. This is a shocking fact to the audience. However, it is necessary to create a good relationship between the hero and the heroine in advance, but this movie did not do it; ②In the kidnappers One of them is a spy, which is also a good reversal, but the illusion that the kidnappers are in harmony must be prepared in advance, and this movie did not do it either. There are a lot of reversals, but none of them pave the way for them in advance. It pays too much attention to portraying the sci-fi concept of "circulation".
4. If you want to think of a story line for this movie, and let it have a concept, I tend to deeply describe the relationship between the male lead and the female lead. This is a very dramatic line of emotion, with ups and downs of emotions: the illusion of harmony between the hero and the hero-the heroine reveals the true face of betrayal, the two quarrel-the hero and the hero hate and doubt each other, saying that the hero has abandoned the heroine before- The male and female leaders try to accept each other again-the male and female leaders reconcile and fight side by side. This line was originally very dramatic, but unfortunately it was not well portrayed. If you use the time loop to talk about this line, you can take one point: in a certain detail of a relationship, you accidentally use a different way to treat your lover, but it has a completely different result, and this is you Unexpectedly before.
5. In a fixed confined space, 6 fixed actors-such a configuration, the best way is to talk about human nature. For example, "Twelve Arhats", "Painful" and "Perfect Stranger", the biggest reversal is nothing more than allowing you to see different aspects of human nature.
