Chapter 362: "Journey to the West" premieres
The first day of the new year is the New Year, the first day of the new year.
Just for Zhou Xingchi's name, countless fans walked into the cinema.
Huayi has invested a lot of resources in publicity, making the premiere tickets very tight, and coupled with the invited film critics and reporters, the entire IMAX hall is extremely congested.
The audience is still excited, and it is worth the ticket price to see Zhou Xingchi, Huang Bo, Shu Qi, and Zhou Jin on the same stage.
After a period of greetings, the hostess asked, "Master Xing, why didn't you play it yourself, the audience is looking forward to you." ”
"Because I'm too expensive, they can't afford to hire it," Zhou Xingchi said with a haha: "The three of them are very good, and after watching their performances, I am gone." ”
"Do they live up to your expectations? It's not easy to adapt to your nonsensical style. ”
As he gets older and older, Zhou Xingchi is a lot more sleek, and he doesn't blink when he praises people.
"Well, Boss Shu is a fighter in comedy, and Boss Zhou is the new king of comedy, and after his performance, I feel that my comedy life is over. ”
"Wow!" the hostess exclaimed exaggeratedly, and the audience below also coaxed.
Obviously, everyone didn't expect that Xing Ye would have such an evaluation of Zhou Jin, looking at the weight, it would be above Shu Qi.
At first glance, Zhou Jin was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "For the New Year, Master Xing is saying auspicious words, but I don't have a red envelope to praise me." ”
"Hey, no, the red envelope must be given to ......"
Zhou Jin pointed to Huang Bo beside him, "Look for him, he has it." ”
Huang Bo bared his teeth and waited expectantly to be praised.
Zhou Xingchi continued: "I think Boss Huang is the king of comedy, after seeing Boss Zhou, I feel like I'm gone, and after seeing Boss Huang, I feel like we're all gone." ”
Huang Bo's face rarely showed a little shyness, and said with a smile: "I am not the king of kings, in Xingye's heart, I am a ham sausage." ”
Everyone laughed again, and the hostess summed up in a timely manner: "Okay, let's invite a few people to sit in the audience, and we'll know how we behave." ”
With a burst of applause, several people sat down in the audience, Zhou Jin looked sideways at Xing Ye, although he was wearing a hat, the white hair on his head could not be covered.
"Are you free in a few days?" he whispered, tilting his head suddenly.
"Yes, a roadshow, right?"
"It's not a roadshow, wow, you're so dedicated, I can't even run, there's a cool dialogue show you want to participate in?"
"I'm fine, when. ”
"The fifth day of the Lunar New Year. ”
Zhou Jin took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, February 14, "Isn't this Valentine's Day?"
"yes, hey, it's ......" Zhou Xingchi sat up straight.
Zhou Jin didn't think much about it, it was just an interview, and it didn't take much time, so he put on 3D glasses and began to concentrate on watching movies.
At the beginning of the film, the camera gradually descends from the sky and finally descends to a small fishing village.
I have to say that the special effects of "Journey to the West" are really good, and the small river that was to be filled with water pipes in my memory turned into a large lake in the movie.
A little girl squatted on the edge of the lake, splashing happily, "Come on Daddy, come on Daddy." ”
Her father, on the other hand, was in the water, bare his feet on the water, thrashing violently, bringing a splash.
It looks like a father is teasing his daughter, a very warm and loving picture.
However, experienced viewers have already noticed that something is wrong - this music is too weird.
Sure enough, after a while, the fishermen shook and sank to the bottom of the water, leaving only a large area of blood red on the surface of the water.
"Fool, fool," the little girl smiled innocently.
It's just that this scene is too dark humorous.
There was some agitation in the audience.
After that, a fake Taoist priest caught a Gu's fish and pretended to be a monster, Xuanzang exposed him, but was criticized by the villagers.
"Have you ever had a dead husband?" asked an aunt, pointing at him.
Zhou Jin threw the bamboo cane and held her hands, "Sister-in-law, I don't have a husband." ”
"I asked you if you ever had a dead husband?"
"Sister-in-law, I really don't have my husband's ......"
"Hahaha!"
The first burst of laughter came from the theater.
Although this laughter is so ironic: the villagers are ignorant and easily instigated, Xuanzang pointed out the truth, but was beaten by them.
It's just a no-brainer.
The film continues, and the villagers do not listen to the dissuasion and insist on going into the water, but they are killed by the river demons one by one.
There were bursts of exclamations from the audience, they thought they were watching a light-hearted and funny New Year's movie, and they were able to round their feelings, but Mao's plot became more and more cruel.
Especially one second ago, the villagers cut off the river demon's sucker and saved the little girl, and the next second the river demon opened its bloody mouth and bit the little girl to death.
The audience didn't even have time to react, and they were confused by the blood in the camera.
"Ah~" There was a gasp in the theater.
"The little girl just died?"
"Why, isn't it funny?"
There are viewers who accept incompetence.
But some viewers said it was normal.
"Master Xing's movie, do you really think it's only funny?"
"Don't worry, maybe there will be a turnaround ...... behind"
Zhou Xingchi didn't care about these whispers, just watched his movie quietly.
What he wanted to make was never a simple comedy.
There are viewers who will like it, but there are also those who don't like it, which is normal.
Fortunately, the black humor of "Journey to the West" has not been blackened to the end, and the plot behind it is still getting more and more funny.
For example, Zhou Jin sang ugly children's songs and wanted to influence the river demon.
For example, Shu Qi wanted to seduce Zhou Jin with an obedient charm, but it was Zhou Jin who won the trick in the end.
"There's a kind of you jumping a little bit more. ”
"Where's my knife?"
"I'll get it!"
"I can't help it!"
Seeing Zhou Jin bare half of his shoulders with a lost face, jumping more and more waves, and finally being beaten, the audience was almost crazy with laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"I really can't imagine that Zhou Jin can jump out of this level, it's too wavelike. ”
"No, no, my back hurts......"
This part of the laughter is very dense, and the atmosphere in the theater gradually boils.
Zhou Jin leaned back in his chair peacefully, enjoying his glory.
When it comes to comedy, laughter is the highest praise.
Huang Bo poked his arm and asked in a low voice, "How do you feel?"
Zhou Jin smiled, "Cool!"
Just rushed to this dense laughter, and he didn't jump in vain for more than sixty times.
Huang Bo nodded approvingly, touching his non-existent beard, "Young man, you have understood." ”
"Heh......" Zhou Jin ignored him and continued to watch the film.
Before the movie was played, Xing Ye made an evaluation of them, at that time Zhou Jin thought that Xing Ye was saying auspicious words, but after watching the finished film, he found that Xing Ye actually had something to say.
Shu Qi, the fighter in comedy - the performance is decent, and there are almost no laughs.
Zhou Jin, the new king of comedy - has a certain brilliance and bears part of the laughter.
Huang Bo, the king of comedies - his appearance was amazing, and he was really funny.
"Now all I have in my body is truth, goodness, and beauty. ”
"Don't come with me, if you want to eat durian, fight it yourself!"
"Look what I'm doing, where else can I go?!"
"Fooled, five hundred years, finally fooled!"
"The Overture of the Little Knife Society" sounded, and Sun Wukong broke the seal, but it was not the Monkey King who came out, but the short and terrifying demon king Sun Wukong!
In the end, Miss Duan was beaten to the point that there was not even a hair left, and Xuanzang finally came to his senses, turned 300 children's songs into the Dari Rulai Sutra, and suppressed the chimpanzee with a slap.
"Xuanzang, now what do you think of big love and small love, the love between men and women?"
"The love of men and women is also included in the so-called great love, and the love of all beings is love, and there is no difference between big and small. Only when there is suffering can we know the real suffering of sentient beings, and only when we have attachment can we let go of attachment, and only when we have attachment can we let go of attachment, and if we have care, we can have no concern. ”
The soundtrack of "The Love of My Life" sounded, and after Xuanzang realized that little bit, he changed into a white monk's robe, took a monkey, a pig, and a fish, and embarked on the road of learning scriptures.
Although Miss Duan's face is still missed by him.
End of the film.
There was silence in the auditorium, then a soft exhale, and finally the warmest applause.
"Whoa!"
is different from the light-hearted and funny of "Thai Embarrassment", "Journey to the West" is bloody, funny, and sensational, and there is Buddhism behind it.
Whether the audience understands it or not, at least they saw a very wonderful and highly completed special effects blockbuster.
"Okay, let's bring the creators back to the stage, everyone has watched the whole movie, do you think it's good?" asked the hostess loudly.
The audience responded enthusiastically: "It's beautiful!"
"Do you want to tell your relatives and friends to see it together?"
"Yes!"
"How much box office do you think "Journey to the West" can get?"
Now there was no more unison, everyone shouted in unison, 700 million, 800 million, 1 billion.
"What about Master Xing, how much box office do you think you can get?"
Zhou Xingchi said: "Of course I hope that the more the better, but as long as everyone likes it, it is worth it." ”
Zhou Jin took over the conversation and said: "Xing Ye is becoming more and more humble, but I think, can you call a young man if he is not young and vigorous? 1.2 billion, only a little more, I said!"
"Wow!" there was another howl below.
Zhou Xingchi smiled and said with an awkward mouth: "I really can't imagine that you have so much confidence in me, and you are moved to death." ”
"Of course I have confidence in you, and I also have confidence in myself," Zhou Jin pretended to brush his hair, "That's it, I'm also stronger than Lao Xu." ”
"Hahaha......" Huang Bo was overwhelmed.
The co-authored box office is calculated by hair.
After some reporters and film critics finished laughing, they silently wrote down Zhou Jin's words.
In their opinion, although "Journey to the West" is great, the schedule is not as good as "Thai Embarrassment".
After all, in a few days, "The Hobbit" will be released.
Domestic films are once again facing Hollywood, and it is also a collision between the top blockbusters, "Journey to the West" vs. "The Lord of the Rings", it's hard to say how the outcome will be.
If it is really as Zhou Jin said, brush down 1.2 billion, then the incentive for filmmakers in the Celestial Empire may be greater than that of "Thai Embarrassment".
And Zhou Jin is bound to soar into the sky and truly step into the ranks of the front line.
