Chapter 517: A Fantasy Tale

Screening is risky.

If the quality of the film is good and it has saved word of mouth, then after the movie is released on a large scale, it can naturally promote a box office hit.

But on the contrary, the quality of the movie is not good, it will only backfire.

"Nieman the Great" dares to do this.

In the end, he was dizzy, fought against the water, sacrificed his life, broke the jar and fell. I am still full of confidence in the quality of the movie and feel that the movie can stand the test.

β€œ...... Which one do you think is the most likely?" asked Trigi.

Next to him were Zhou Mu and Yu Nian. The three of them disguised themselves and infiltrated a movie theater, ready to get a sneak peek and investigate the enemy.

"That's not a good thing to say. ”

Zhou Mu said casually: "I only know after seeing it." ”

"Nonsense. ”

Cui Ji rolled his eyes.

Yu Nian groaned and said softly: "Generally speaking, movies that dare to be screened should have a certain degree of confidence in the quality and not be very bad." ”

"It's hard to say. ”

Cui Ji whispered: "The director of this movie, eight or nine times out of ten, is Mo Huaixuan." He controls small-budget films, and there is certainly no problem. Can he play with this kind of big investment?"

"Don't underestimate people. ”

Zhou Mu shook his head and said, "You must know that people can learn and progress. Because Mo Huaixuan had failed and struggled to get up again, he couldn't look at him with old eyes. Maybe among the bunch of movies in the Chinese New Year file, the most underrated is "Nieman the Great". ”

"Tsk!"

Cui Ji was noncommittal.

The three of them entered the cinema and walked into the corner, and did not say anything more. In a moment, the movie is about to start, and the theater seats are almost full.

The attendance rate is not low, almost 60%.

It seems that like them, there are many people who are curious about movies. After all, during this period of time, Hongtian Entertainment has also spent a lot of money on publicity. Hundreds of millions of publicity funds, even if the conversion rate is low, can still support the first screening.

The lights dimmed, the movie begins!

It opens with an old city, in the style of the pure West End. Low stone walls, houses, and bustling markets constitute a rather primitive ancient life.

After all, a thousand years ago, Niemann the Great was only the son of a city-state, and he had not yet embarked on the hegemony of unifying the Western District. So it's understandable to start with a small city-state bazaar.

"That's right? It must be Mo Huaixuan. ”

At the same time, Cui Ji said in a low voice: "This long shot is so stable, there are few directors in the industry who can do this." ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Mu and Yu Nian nodded gently.

Every director has something that he is good at, which can be called style, or what can be called habit. Anyway, through some shots, you can estimate whether he is in charge of the camera.

"Hey, don't show off your skills. ”

After a minute of long shots, a teenager appeared on the screen.

His dark eyes and curled hair were a little heroic. Needless to say, this must be the Niemann the Great.

If it was Mo Huaixuan in the past, this long shot would take at least two or three minutes before it would cut to the main topic. But now, in less than a minute, the protagonist appeared, which means that he is now much more restrained and stable.

Of course, it can also be said that after being beaten by society, I had to grow up. knows that the father of the gold owner and the mainstream audience will not run through him. So now, while maintaining the previous style, the narrative expression has been strengthened.

The editing is concise and highlights the key points, which is the first element of commercial films.

From this point of view, Mo Huaixuan has indeed grown.

on screen.

The young Nieman the Great, is showing his talent.

With a group of children, they played war games. As a general, he transferred troops to punish generals, and beat hostile friends to the point of screaming.

After the victory, a group of children carried him and threw him.

Amidst cheers.

"Nieman ......"

The shrill voice, full of anger, reached the ears of a group of children, who were immediately frightened and scattered.

In mid-air, the young man Niemann, who was not caught by anyone, screamed directly and fell to the ground. The whole person is in a funny pose, embedded in the ground.

At the same time, a fat knight rode a lean horse and came at a gallop.

He staggered and rampaged through the city, destroying a lot of things before he reached the young Niemann's side.

At this time, the thin horse was overwhelmed and fell directly, foaming at the mouth.

The fat knight stepped off his horse, pressed his crooked helmet, and shouted, "Apprentice knight, Nieman!"

"In!"

With a whoosh, Niemann in the pit stood upright like a spring, and raised his hand in response, "Sir, Trainee Knight Niemann, report to you!"

"Good, lad!"

The fat knight touched it with his big hand, causing Nieman to stumble and almost fall again.

......

"That's not right!"

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other.

A look of surprise appeared on their faces.

"It's not a drama. ”

"Not a biopic. ”

"Everyone was fooled. ”

The three of them easily came to this conclusion, and the tone of a movie can be determined in the first few minutes.

The different styles before and after lead to very different painting styles, such a low-level mistake is absolutely impossible to appear in a qualified director.

In these few minutes, the content presented is completely detached from "reality".

Whether it was Niemann falling and smashing a hole in the ground, or the fat knight stumbling through the city on a skinny horse and not being harmed.

Such a plot is clearly ......

In an instant, Yu Nian and Cui Ji looked at Zhou Mu.

"What are you doing with me?" Zhou Mu was puzzled.

"Comic style. ”

Cui Ji was a little excited, "Don't you see, this exaggerated, humorous, and funny style is very similar to your "Three Laughs". ”

"Huh?" Zhou Mu was stunned. Yu Nian is also true, "He's imitating you, or rather...... Borrowed some elements. ”

"This guy ......"

Cui Ji was angry and sighed, "I should still remember the grudge, it is estimated that I will be able to understand it without analyzing "Three Laughs". ”

Pure imitation must be very blunt.

But borrowing, it's different. It was after careful thinking, absorbing the essence of it, turning it into its own thing, and using it freely.

"Oh. ”

Zhou Mu smiled, "The vision is good." ”

"You're still laughing. ”

Cui Ji said angrily: "This is stealing the teacher, aren't you angry?"

"Angry what?"

Zhou Mu shrugged his shoulders and said: "Speaking of stealing teachers, isn't it possible that we pull films and study the works of film masters?"

"Yes. ”

Yu Nian also nodded, "In the industry, following the trend and imitating are the lowest-end, which makes people look down upon, but borrowing elements and integrating their own concepts is a clever approach." Everyone is not ashamed, but proud. ”

"Well, let's watch a movie. ”

Zhou Mu didn't plan to dwell on this.

Zhou's comedy style is not so easy to grasp the essence. Otherwise, this style of film has been popular for decades, but few people have successfully copied it. Many people imitate it, but they don't know it, and they make it into four dislikes.

He hoped that Mo Huaixuan would be planted in this big pit and would not be able to get up.

However, Mo Huaixuan is smarter than he imagined. Knowing that mere imitation has no future, I just borrowed some elements.

Tell the truth, the shoot was ...... Not bad. Zhou Mu found that Mo Huaixuan was not showing off his skills, but was down-to-earth and telling a fantasy story.

Yes, fantasy stories.

It's not a canonical history, it should be a wild history or something.

It is about the young Niemann the Great, in order to complete the knight's trial, and began his own adventure.

The Fat Knight gave him three tasks.

The first mission is to go to the Black Forest and drive a large wild boar.

He set off with his friends, dug a trap, waited for the wild boar to enter the ambush circle, and then rushed up, and the result was ......

The big wild boar has fangs in its mouth, and it can actually spray black mist. The young Niemann and his friends were chased and urinated, wailing and crying.

The unlucky appearance also made many viewers laugh.

In the pursuit of wild boars, the young Nieman jumped off a large lake, and because he couldn't know water, he sank directly to the bottom of the lake and met a little elf.

With the help of the elves, the boy drew the stone sword in the lake, showed his might, and wiped out the wild boar that plagued the people.

With everyone's farewell, Niemann set out on his journey again. He had to complete his second mission, slaying an evil dragon entrenched in the city.

It's just that when he went to the city, he sneaked in.

After some inquiry, he found out that the so-called evil dragon was nothing more than a greedy and lazy, timid and fearful young dragon.

The so-called ferocious and vicious is nothing more than the rumors spread by the young dragon himself, so that others are afraid and dare not ask for it. Whenever a powerful warrior or knight comes, it will definitely flee as soon as possible.

Discovering the truth, Niemann befriended the young dragon with a sincere heart.

Then everyone sets off together to complete the third mission.

Defeat the Sorcerer.

From the hands of the Dark Wizard, rescue the princess.

This is undoubtedly the climax of the film.

The Dark Wizard is not a big boar or a cowardly young dragon.

He knows how to do sorcery, has a few men, and knows how to drive wild beasts.

Even with the help of the young dragon, the young Nieman and his friends encountered a group of beasts, and it was inevitable that they would lose their troops.

Under the sluggish morale, another elf came out and guided Nieman to visit the white wizard grandfather, passed the old man's courage test, and obtained the knight's equipment.

The baby dragon also metamorphosed into a giant dragon.

The final battle is naturally the incarnation of the young Niemann as a dragon knight, riding a flying dragon from the sky to fight the dark wizard.

This is definitely the whole film, the most money-burning ten minutes.

Gorgeous spells, a realistic sense of substance, in a huge screen, lifelike.

After a thrilling and dangerous fight, the young Niemann finally defeated the dark wizard and allowed him to unravel the curse on the elf.

In the brilliant light, the elf is transformed into a beautiful princess again.

In the cheers of everyone, the heroic teenager, with the beautiful girl, hugged each other and ended the movie with a sweet kiss.

After a while, the subtitles floated out.

Director: Mo Huaixuan.

The low-key text is not very eye-catching, but it makes the three of them sit down and judge.

The movie is indeed made by Mo Huaixuan.

The so-called epic blockbuster is just a faΓ§ade. In fact, this should be a fantasy blockbuster with teenagers' enthusiasm.

Or rather, mainstream commercial blockbusters......
