The students in the film club were also very experienced and stopped the discussion of everyone present.

The short film continues.

The young man was walking in the alley when a column of water suddenly fell from the second floor. He was startled, took a step back and looked up.

In an old building, there is a drain in the corridor to prevent water from accumulating. Water is leaking out now.

He looked around and placed a dead potted plant at his feet under the water column.

At this moment, a soothing melody sounded and the camera cut to the next scene.

The breakfast cart was stuck on a step and the elderly owner couldn't push it up. The young man jogged over and enthusiastically helped.

The third painting shows a young man eating in a fast food restaurant. A big golden retriever runs over, puts its front paws on his legs, and pant[s] as it stares at the chicken leg on the table.

The young man glanced at the dog and picked up the chicken leg. The fast food restaurant owner not far away shook his head.

The fourth painting shows a mother and daughter begging on the street, with a sign in front of them that says "For Education".

The young man took out his wallet, glanced at the balance, took out two bills, and kept one for himself.

In the distance, the convenience store owner was shaking his head.

When he returned home in the evening, the young man hung a bunch of bananas on the door handle, then knocked on the door and turned away.

The door opened and a white-haired old man stuck his head out.

At this point, 40 seconds have passed and the protagonist's image of being helpful has been established.

Sun Zhichao nodded secretly.

Although the shooting technique is very immature, the photography skills are not up to standard, and the acting skills are even worse.

But the filmmaker was very experienced in arranging and scheduling the shots, and there was not a single redundant shot.

The story progresses layer by layer, and the message is well conveyed to the audience.

Do One Good Deed a Day

The short sticks closely to the theme, but if that were all, the story would be too bland.

How to elevate the significance of this theme to a higher level depends on the subsequent arrangements.

He looked forward to the sequel.

On the screen, a voice-over sounded.

"He does this every day, and what does he get in return?"

The background music gets louder, and the picture shows a young man repeating such good deeds every day, which may seem a bit silly to others.

Move potted plants, help push the cart, feed the dog, give money to the little girl, and bring food to the elderly and widowed people.

Okay.

Sun Zhichao thought silently.

The next step should be sublimation, indicating that the young people have gained happiness, good people will be rewarded, etc.

It's pretty standard, no big surprises.

But for a student's work, it's acceptable, just a little disappointing.

Since the screenwriter is Lu Qingfeng, he still has expectations for a surprise.

"He got nothing."

But the voice-over in the next shot surprised him.

The young man ate alone, cleaned the room alone, and watered the flowers alone.

The voice-over continued to sound.

“He didn’t get rich.”

“No one will report it.”

“No one still knows”

“Not more famous.”

The small auditorium fell silent, and everyone had different thoughts upon seeing this.

Some people were lost in thought, some were just having fun, some thought the protagonist was too stupid, but no one was bored and everyone could keep watching.

Sun Zhichao pinched his chin.

This idea is very interesting. Nowadays, when the media reports on good people and good deeds, they always give the protagonist a noble sentiment.

Return lost property and sacrifice oneself for others.

But there is also a saying that goes, "Do not let a good deed go unrewarded, no matter how small it is."

Most good deeds are done casually. You do them and they don’t actually make any difference to your life.

No one will report on you, and no one will praise you.

The so-called "Do one good deed a day" has entered a new stage.

So what next?

If you want to advance, suppress it first.

The story is still incomplete. How should it end?

The anticipation in his heart rose again.

As he thought, the scene changed here.

The young man fed the dog chicken legs again and touched the dog's head. When he left, the camera focused on the dog's eyes as it chased the young man.
