64. Brother, your movie doesn’t seem to be very good!
The next day.
When Ji Lin woke up.
“Detective Chinatown 2” is really a hit!
On Douyin, ks and other short video platforms.
There are movie clips of “Detective Chinatown 2” everywhere.
Especially the part where Wang Baoqiang and the other three dressed up as women.
It was simply circulated by netizens.
On Douban.
The score of “Detective Chinatown 2” even reached 7.5 points!
You know.
As a comedy, it is already very high to reach 7.5 points.
Although the box office results of the first day have not yet come out, it is not difficult to guess that the box office of “Detective Chinatown 2” will set a new high.
However.
This has little to do with Ji Lin.
At noon.
Ji Lin took his family to the cinema to watch “Dying to Survive”.
When I got to the cinema and bought the ticket and went in.
I realized.
This is the opposite of the situation when “Detective Chinatown 2” was released yesterday.
Yesterday.
Ji Lin went to see the premiere of “Detective Chinatown 2” in the early morning, and it was almost full.
As a result, I was in the theater where “Dying to Survive” was being watched.
Good guy, not even half of the seats were full.
No need to guess.
These fans went to the next theater to watch “Detective Chinatown 2”.
“Brother, your movie doesn’t seem to be very good.”
Look, his sister Ji Rong is still making sarcastic remarks next to him.
Hearing this.
Ji Lin pinched the girl’s face and said, “Watch the movie well!”
“Oh~”
This way.
Just sat down not long ago.
Ji Lin received a WeChat message from Reba.
Reba sent him a photo.
It was a movie ticket.
“Old Ji, I’m already in the cinema. Your movie will definitely be a hit!”
This girl didn’t forget to give Ji Lin some confidence.
490However.
He didn’t know.
Ji Lin was not worried at all.
Although, there were not many audiences in the theater.
But.
The movie will still be played as usual.
Very soon.
As the movie started, everyone quieted down.
These audiences thought that “Dying to Survive” was a comedy.
Because.
Xu Zheng and Ning Hao both focus on making comedies.
Now, everyone’s biggest impression of Xu Zheng is still “Lost on Journey”.
What’s more.
Outside, on the movie poster of “Dying to Survive”.
Every actor is laughing so happily.
If this isn’t a comedy, what is it?
Obviously.
Everyone guessed wrong.
Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, these two are really not afraid of being scolded by the audience.
Have a good New Year and holidays.
You have to make a sad movie to trick the audience into tears.
The key.
These two people also marked the genre of “Dying to Survive” as funny and comedy.
When the time comes, the audience will scold you to death.
After the familiar dragon mark.
First, the black curtain + the cast list, followed by the music!
This music sounds familiar to everyone, but they just don’t know what it is called.
Because it is an Indian divine song, called “Aankhein.Khuli”!
The soundtrack in the movie is closely related to the picture and the story. Such a strong style of music, especially when you hear it before seeing the person at the beginning, has obvious style hints for the film.
(caac) Most movies will grab the audience’s attention at the beginning, such as “Detective Chinatown 2” released yesterday.
But the way “Dying to Survive” was released is a bit unusual.
This film starts with an 80-second credits list, including the title, which is written in black and white, making it a bit lengthy and heavy.
Director Wen cleverly added Ah San’s divine song as a prelude, which not only sets the initial tone, but also stirs up the audience’s expectations with its familiar melody.
After the title fades out.
The main film really begins.
The first shot shows a goddess statue of Ah San, which is very symbolic. This is an image of both good and evil, which does not coincide with the character of the male protagonist of this film.
A simple introduction to the environment is complete.
The film uses the conventional opening mode of narrative films, which is to explain to the audience the scene, time, and place of the story setting in the shortest time.
The music gradually fades, the phone rings, and accompanied by the shouting of the hotel owner, Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, as the protagonist of this film, sticks his head out, looking sloppy.
The comedy effect is directly maximized.
Many viewers couldn’t help laughing when they saw Xu Zheng’s look in the play.
This is a pure loser’s outfit.
Chen Jin.
He is a professional film critic.
He has more than 7 million fans on Weibo.
He is nicknamed “Cannon”!
As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.
He is just like his nickname.
He has a very bad temper. (To read the hot and exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
He will praise good movies without hesitation, and he will scold bad movies without mercy.
The most famous thing about Chen Jin is that he was invited to attend the premiere of “Fortress of Magic City” last year.
After watching the movie.
This guy went back and started bombarding!
The director, screenwriter, and leading actor of the film were all scolded.
Even in the end, the director was scoldedCome and apologize to the audience.
Because of this battle, Chen Jin became completely famous.
At the same time, he also gained millions of fans.
Today.
He came to watch the movie “Dying to Survive”.
Yesterday’s “Detective Chinatown 2” was also watched by Chen Jin.
How to say it.
Not good or bad!
As a comedy, he thinks that “Detective Chinatown 2” is qualified.
After all, it brings a lot of joy to the audience.
Even when he watched this movie last night, he couldn’t help laughing several times.
With the premiere of “Dying to Survive”.
Chen Jin watched it very seriously!
Although he didn’t know who Wen Muye was, he knew Xu Zheng and Ning Hao.
These two people appeared in the same movie at the same time, and neither of them served as a director,
What does this mean?
It means they are promoting someone.
So, Chen Jin really wanted to see what kind of charm this director named Wen Muye had that Xu Zheng and Ning Hao were so optimistic about him.
After the movie started.
The camera started with the conversation in the store, and the five scenes of the nursing home, bathhouse, law firm, and police station appeared in sequence.
In just a few minutes.
The director revealed all the life difficulties of Cheng Yong.
Business was declining, rent was owed, the van was broken to the point of falling apart, the paralyzed father, divorced and his son was about to be sent abroad by his ex-wife.
Through this series of events, actions and dialogues, the character of Cheng Yong was directly enriched.
It has to be said.
This new director is still quite capable.
Next, Chen Jin watched it more seriously!
When Wang Chuanjun played Lv Shouyi on stage.
To be honest.
Chen Jin almost didn’t recognize him.
Not to mention him, even many viewers didn’t recognize him.
“Is this… Guan Gu Shenqi?”
“It seems to be him…”
“Almost didn’t recognize him!”
“The difference is quite big!”
“Don’t mention it, Wang Chuanjun was right to refuse to star in the Love Apartment movie!”
“……”
Wang Chuanjun, who is far away in Shanghai.
He also went to the cinema today.
Because this is his first movie after his transformation.
I really want to see the audience’s evaluation of him.
This is not it.
Listening to the audience around him, they all said that they almost didn’t recognize themselves.
To be honest, Wang Chuanjun is still a little happy.
In order to take this role, he can be said to have been reborn, and there is no trace of his previous performance on him.
He is the character who wants to break free from the constraints of his own character.
The movie continues.
The appearance of Lv Shouyi introduces the soul prop of this film, Ah San generic medicine, which is illegal but cheap and can save lives!
But….
Cheng Yong refused the request to help smuggle generic drugs.
And then, as Cheng Yong’s old father fell and developed a hemangioma, he urgently needed a large sum of money for surgery.
The mottled shadows of trees on the front window of the van implied Cheng Yong’s confusion and helplessness, and the reflection of the rearview mirror inside the car showed his father who failed to undergo surgery.
These shots and shooting angles fully demonstrated Cheng Yong’s passivity, and at the same time conveyed this sense of oppression to the audience visually.
See here.
Even Xu Zheng, who was in the cinema, couldn’t help but admire it again.
It’s worthy of being the talent he has chosen!
Why did he and Ning Hao let Wen Muye, a newcomer, direct this work.
Isn’t it because they saw his unique shooting techniques and style?
As we all know.
All the story developments must be because the protagonist’s life balance is broken, whether passively or actively.
Just like in the movie, the appearance of Lv Shouyi did not change the character of Cheng Yong.
When the balance of Cheng Yong’s life was broken, his old father suddenly developed a hemangioma, which completely pushed Cheng Yong into a situation where he had to change.
As the plot of the movie slowly unfolded.
The audience seemed to have been put into the plot.
Everyone was fascinated by it!
(Ps: To be continued!!!).
