"Safety Is Not Guaranteed": A fresh grassroots science fiction

An advertisement for recruiting partners through the time, provokes three editors of the magazine, two men and one woman. Regardless of whether there is time travel or time machine, interviewing a weird person is the biggest highlight. In order to find out how to create a hype stunt, the three went to a remote town to visit the advertiser who published the advertisement unannounced. After a series of thrilling and embarrassing things, the female editor fell in love with the crossing weirdo and played with real feelings. Under the suspicious gaze of everyone at the end, the time machine was finally activated at the emergency gate chased by the agents, and the disappearance of the shadowless disappeared in an instant, leaving everyone stunned.

The film is a low-cost sci-fi short film with black humor, which is as fresh and artistic as "Another Earth". Before the last moment, the big killer was turned off, and he was always talking about evil topics, and most of the time, he was talking about feelings and life. This is a very creative and innovative small theme. It does not require large production or large investment. Just one of the ideas is enough to reflect the crystallization of human wisdom. Maybe you will look down on this kind of creative ideas that come in handy, but the creativity is actually so simple, it's so unpredictable. And this is precisely the way of thinking that Chinese people lack.

We think that the ideas that others come up with are not so simple, and we don't even cut it. Let us also come up with a simple idea, but it is more difficult, we can only get entangled in low-cost horror films to scare people for a while. When will we be able to deduce such a high-level literary science fiction, that is the beginning of the Chinese people opening the door to creativity, bid farewell to the impetuous era of high-sightedness and low-hands, and enter the golden period of creation steadily.

    It's really a journey of healing

    See also the film with genre as the element of suspense, the love story of two "weirdo"s, the independent film flavor is very obvious. The intern and the male reporter are separate love stories, one romanticism and one realism. The combination is a wonderful taste.
