Chapter 134: Schadenfreude
The largest cinema in Shanhai City is the Emei Cinema next to the city square, next to a newly built shopping mall, Yang Xia's mother works in the cultural system, has a relationship in the cinema, and can keep tickets with a phone call, even the most popular one.
On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, a group of men and women clearly felt the popularity of the Titanic at the door of the crowded movie theater.
"What do you want to eat, I'm in for a treat!" Yu Xiao seems to have gained a lot of money this Spring Festival, and in front of a group of girls, of course she has to behave at this time.
Yao Beibei looked at Cheng Ran happily, "Where do you want to treat, shouldn't Cheng Ran invite him at this time! He is now the landlord!"
Cheng Feiyang's Fulong company distributed cash rewards, and also appeared on the newspapers and television stations in Shanhai City, which was of great benefit to Fulong's propaganda in public opinion, and at the same time caused heated discussions within the compound, similar to Yao Beibei's parents, I don't know how much details were discussed about Cheng Feiyang's efforts to create Fulong Company, Yao Beibei heard it, and it was full of his parents' coveting of Cheng Feiyang's great luck. In fact, she, Liu Ying, Yang Xia and Yu Xiao, these families, still supported Cheng Feiyang at the beginning, accounted for the employee shares, did not listen to Zhao Pingchuan's words, gave away the employee shares, asked for seniority compensation, and squeezed Cheng Feiyang's cash flow.
This bonus dividend, each of them got a sum of money, of course, this money is not much compared to the people who joined, according to the shares, thousands of yuan, but this is actually a sign and symbol, it is a sign that the company that has no viability in the past has been revitalized by Cheng Feiyang. Of course, what is discussed privately is how much money Cheng Feiyang made from it, in short, he is extremely jealous of the current situation of Cheng Ran's family.
Cheng Ran nodded, "Whatever you want to eat." β
Yang Xia glanced over and said, "Cheng Ran, are you very rich? Forget what happened when you borrowed money from me before, when didn't you just take the New Year's money generously, and then you died poor!"
Several people stared at the two of them, Yu Xiao squeezed her eyebrows, and Liu Ying smiled, "Yay...... Yang Xia, what's the matter, take care of Cheng Ran now, spend his money, you feel distressed?"
Yang Xia was a little at a loss, "What......" This kind of coaxing thing is common among everyone, especially when I used to know that Cheng Ran liked Yang Xia, but it was generally a coax, it was really unnecessary, and before Christmas, Yang Xia gave Cheng Ran a greeting card and made a fuss, but they didn't know that Yang Xia went to Cheng Ran alone to explain. I thought that Yang Xia's attitude towards Cheng Ran at that time was actually very revealing.
Yao Beibei was the most unseen among all the people that Cheng Ranhui, who was originally a toad, had anything to do with Yang Xia, so he said, "Where, didn't you hear it...... Yang Xia is worried that Cheng Ran will borrow money from her after squandering the New Year's money two or three times!"
Liu Ying pouted, "Cheng Ran is a little rich now, after his father restructured the company, isn't he the boss now, where does he have no money?"
"His dad is from the company, and it's not his...... What money can he have, isn't it just that New Year's money!"
Cheng Ran finally said that it was okay to invite some small guests, but everyone saw that there were too many people selling snacks at the door, and finally decided to come out to eat after watching the movie, and a group of people went into the cinema.
The Titanic deserves to be the tear gas of the century, even from the perspective of Cheng Ran's posterity, many of the narrative techniques and scenes shown in this movie without fancy, have deservedly been a classic textbook in film history. You must know that Cameron was only recognized by Hollywood with a big impression before filming the Terminator, but it was he, a truck driver, who was halfway out of his home and was not favored by everyone, that gave birth to a great movie like the Terminator, and then the talent was out of control, whether it was the Titanic, the Terminator, or the true lie, or the future Avatar, it was essentially a very ordinary story, but he was able to turn these stories into magic, and existed as a beacon for the film industryγ Such a person is a master.
Reborn in this world, these masters have not been lost, and Cheng Ran feels that this is also extremely lucky. Because of the deviation of the world he lives in, Cheng Ran occasionally thinks about whether he can reproduce those great movies in his memory if this world does not appear...... Later, after careful consideration, I felt that it might still be very reluctant...... Because even if it is re-operated, it may not be able to truly restore every detail at that time, and at the same time, just like any industry in this world, it is actually talented.
Although many times there will be an inspirational word, diligence can make up for the lack of talent. This is true, but it is also to compensate for the lack of personal talent. For some people who are already gifted, the gap is not something that can be narrowed by hard work and diligence.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no need for hard work, and talent determines the superiority.
It's everyone's talent, there are strengths and weaknesses, and they are different after all. Therefore, there is a truth throughout the ages, "people are noble and self-aware", which is not a derogatory reproach, but a more far-reaching meaning is that everyone should explore and verify greatness in the field they are good at.
After a movie, I couldn't cry. They all went out with red eyes, and when everyone looked at Cheng Ran, Yang Xia, who had red and swollen eyes, spoke first, "Cheng Ran, you didn't cry...... Why are you so hard-hearted!"
The disciples of the big courtyard condemned Cheng Ran one after another.
The injustice in Cheng Ran's heart, moved is moved, in fact, even if you watch it again, you are very moved, but the key is that you have watched it seven or eight times, and you are still crying, how fragile is that...... Although Cheng Ran admits that the first time he watched it, it may be more exaggerated than their current performance.
Two hours and forty minutes of movie, a group of people are hungry, at this time many shops in the snack street outside the movie theater are empty, everyone is clamoring to buy burritos at this time, but Yang Xia said that he wants to drink milk tea, so the soldiers are divided into two ways, Yu Xiao and Liu Ying Yao Beibei They went to buy burritos, Cheng Ran Yang Xia went to the milk tea shop next to them to order milk tea, and finally gathered in the middle.
Cheng Ran and Yang Xia were walking on the street, Yang Xia's eyes were still swollen, he glanced at him with a tilted head, and said, "Cheng Ran, aren't you moved?"
"I'm very impressed...... It's just that I'm thinking more about Cameron as a director. β
"Huh?" Yang Xia still had shallow tears on his face, "What do you say?"
"A lot of movies, of course, I'm not saying bad...... Many movies narrate the story, eager to be as complex as possible, what is interspersed with flashbacks, what montage techniques, how to go around, and how to tout how the structure is layered, how exquisite, anyway, let the audience see the clouds, only to feel profound, not clear...... Uh, it means that you don't understand but think it's powerful...... But Cameron is different, his movies are all flat and straightforward, and they are described coldly, as if they are afraid that the audience will not understand, and sometimes they are even too flat and straightforward, and they don't engage in any suspense that echoes inside and outside. But it's often like in martial arts, the heavy sword has no edge, the big skill is not working, and there is no trick to win. can always grasp those simple emotions, and then convey the core of the story to the audience clearly. β
So he truly interprets the essence of storytelling, that is, a good story is only one that can convey emotions clearly and movingly. Abandoning such principles, paying too much attention to the so-called structure, and those techniques and norms of the academic school are all at the end of the book. β
"The most important thing about a story is the core and ideological connotation. Rather than the so-called various narrative principles, routines and elements that have been analyzed and studied by countless people. β
After Cheng Ran finished speaking, Yang Xia looked at him in a daze.
He frowned, "Something on my face?"
Yang Xia shook his head obediently again, eating and smiling, "A story, clearly conveying the core and ideological connotation is the most important." That's a good point. β
"Okay, forgive you for not crying......" She stretched out her finger and pointed to the bubble tea shop again, "That's it, I want to drink fruity tea!"
Just when the two of them were standing at the door of the milk tea shop, not far away, Luo Zhixian's group of people also walked out after watching the movie, and their group of people came out of the door and stood among ordinary people, but they were very eye-catching, and they were all properly cared for, and they were generally dressed in some luxury clothes that were not sold in Shanhai specialty stores.
A man wearing Jordan sneakers and a wide Ha Hanbok shushed from his mouth, and his mouth skimmed Yang Xia who was not far away, "There's a girl over there...... This time, I found that there are a lot of beautiful girls in the mountains and seas...... This girl has a cold face and her legs are closed, and I bet you're going to hit a cold nail nine times out of ten if you go and talk to her!"
As soon as Wang Jiajun, nicknamed "Monkey" in this circle, opened his mouth, the eyes of the group of people looked over, Yang Xia was wearing a white down jacket, with a slender figure, standing under the blue sunshade of the bubble tea shop, like a lily waiting to be picked.
Luo Zhi's eyes fell on Yang Xia first, and then he smiled lightly ...... "Ha ......".
Turning to the group in front of him, he shrugged his shoulders, "Bet, I can get that chick done...... How big is the market?"
"I'll give a thousand. "Monkey" Wang Jiajun looked at him.
"I don't believe it, I'm with a thousand! Luo Zhixian, cash! hehe......"
"With two thousand!
A group of people have interfaced.
Luo Zhi calculated first, this gamble can probably earn 10,000, smiled, and walked towards Yang Xia.
The group of people behind him was gloating with a grim face.
