Chapter 474: Box Office Miracle

"If one day I'm gone, will you look for me like a motor?" "Will you keep looking?" "Yes." "Will you always find death?"

"Yes. "You're lying. "The movie began, the shaky camera messed up the picture, the cold narrative tone, all the pictures seemed dim, there was a green rust-like color, undulating but not melodious, beautiful and indescribable background sound, and the movie "Suzhou River" began like this. Quite a few people in the entire cinema frowned. What kind of filming technique is this? There are no flashy shots, no handsome guys and beautiful women, and no sense of big production. The shaky footage gives many people a feeling of dizziness, as if someone is shooting with an ordinary DV.

Although through the words of "me" behind the camera, everyone faintly feels that the narrative of this movie is probably quite alternative, and many plots are told through "me". However, this voice is not good at all, and the tone of speech is unbearable for many people. And what he said was also a bit clueless and inexplicable. Be all abroad. Many people have been watching it for several minutes and still feel this way. What kind of story does this movie want to tell?

"Messy, boring movie!" said one of the college-looking boys. "Ye Zheng's movies have always been good, let's take a look. The girl next to him said that she was Wan Ping, and since she fell in love with Cui Shuai in the same class some time ago, when she came to watch the movie, she threw Xiaoxue aside.

No, the movie theater in the school premiered "Suzhou River", so she quickly ordered Cui Shuai to grab two movie tickets and come here. In the past few minutes, Wan Ping also felt inexplicable. It's just that I have too much trust in Ye Zheng, and I feel that I should continue to take a good look.

"Even if he is a master, there are still failures, of course Ye Zheng is inevitable. Cui Shuai said: "What kind of movie do you look at, it's not cool at all, I don't like to watch this kind of literary film......" Before he finished speaking, Wan Ping's murderous eyes came over: "You don't like to watch it, but I like it, do you have an opinion?" Cui Shuai immediately stopped.

"Hmph! Then watch it honestly! I'm Ye Zheng's brainless fan! I said that this movie is good, it's good! If you have the slightest opinion, go to the hotel alone on the weekend!" Wan Ping said. "Don't......" Cui Shuai immediately grimaced bitterly: "That's a waste, what about eighty yuan a night......" As he spoke, he laughed in a low voice: "I heard that the sound insulation effect of that hotel is very good, let's try it?"

"......" Wan Ping glanced at him: "Be quiet, watch a movie!" The movie continued, and "I", as a photographer, was invited by the owner of the Happy Pavilion to shoot mermaids, met Meimei, and then it didn't take long for them to soak together all day. "Is it to tell their love story? However, I have not been exposed behind the camera, is the story going to continue to be told like this? only through Meimei in the camera and my narration?" Wan Ping couldn't help but wonder. That's right, the beginning of the movie.

She remembered that there was a person mentioned in the dialogue at the beginning of the movie, Motor, yes, this must be a very important character, right?And then the narrative of "I" mentions Motor: "Every time Meimei drinks too much on the balcony, she asks me if one day she really leaves, will I go to her like Motor, I ask who Mada is, and she says that it is a madman who lives in the neighborhood and rides an old motorcycle past my balcony every day, saying that she has been looking for a girl he loved before......"

Oh, and there must be a story in this movie about the motor and that girl he loves. Wan Ping's judgment in his heart. The next plot is immediately on the motor. A man driving a motorcycle appears in the camera, and it is still the words of "me" behind the camera to tell the story. Then, Wan Ping realized that the main plot of this story does not revolve around "me" and Meimei, but about the motor and a girl named Peony. The motor of the motorcycle delivery took over the job and picked up the girl Peony. After the two get along for a while, Peony falls in love with Motor, and Motor also has feelings for Peony, but at this time, Motor unites with his friends from the underworld to kidnap Peony. Peony was disheartened and stood by the Suzhou Creek.

"If I jump, I'll turn into a mermaid and come to you!" Peony looked at the motor expressionlessly, his eyes did not show any light, and then let go of the hand that grabbed the railing, leaned back and jumped into the Suzhou River. "This girl is so stupid!" Wan Ping said, "Isn't it just that she was hurt by love, and suicide is not worth it." "This is a deep love, and it is also deeply hurt. Cui Shuai sighed and said, "Wan Ping, it seems that you still don't love me enough, otherwise you will definitely be able to experience this feeling." ”

"I wouldn't be so stupid, if you dared to do this to me, I would definitely throw you into the river. Wan Ping snorted. In fact, before they knew it, they were already attracted to the movie and began to enter the plot of the movie and discuss the plot and characters in the movie. The swaying shots, rough pictures, and boring tones make some people sleepy without love, but for others they have a strong attraction. This is, of course, because everyone's personality and preferences are different, and the way they like and accept the film is also different. In fact, Hong Guang did not make this movie with the original flavor of the original. After all, every director's style is different, and film, to a large extent, is the art of the director. Hong Guang's shooting is more modern and urban than the original. However, the literary atmosphere of this movie is still very strong, which is the style orientation made by Ye Zheng's script.

If you like literature and art, you naturally prefer this kind of movie. But if you like blockbusters with big and intense scenes, you are likely to find it boring and pretentious. In Ye Zheng's previous life, this movie won many awards abroad, but the attention it received in China was very small, among which there were reasons for the ban, and a very important reason was that the style was too unpopular, the artistry was too strong, and the film's techniques and skills were too alternative and obscure, which made it difficult for many people to accept it smoothly. In this world, the situation is much better, but in general, it is still not as attractive as blockbusters.

The movie continues, and Mada, who was released from prison five years later, begins to look around for Peony, and when he meets Mimi, who looks exactly like Peony at the bar, Mada thinks she is Peony, but Mimi is not. Later, Mada found Peony in a 24-hour convenience store, and the two of them drank too much alcohol and drowned in the Suzhou Creek...... At the end of the movie, that dialogue appears again. It was a conversation between "me" and Meimei, who learned the whole truth after learning the news of Mada Peony's death.

"If one day I'm gone, will you look for me like a motor?"

"Yes. ”

"Will you keep looking?" "Yes." "Will you always find death?"

"Yes. "You're lying. Something like this can only happen in a love story. "You don't believe it?" "Don't believe it." It's true. "And then Meimei really left "me", and what about "me"?"Will he go to Meimei?" Wan Ping asked softly. "Definitely not. Cui Shuai said: "This person should be an extremely realistic person, he is definitely not the kind of person who regards love as his life with Motor and Peony, Meimei left him, even if he is sad, he will not go to Meimei, because he knows that his love with Meimei, since there will be no result, it is better to give up." ”

"Really?" Wan Ping said. Next, "I" monologue confirmed Cui Shuai's words. "If Meimei hadn't gone, maybe we would have been drinking on the Suzhou Creek as we used to, floating on the Suzhou Creek together, all the way to the sea. Maybe the sun will come out and the river will become very clear, but I won't go to Meimei again, because I know that everything will not last forever, I would rather close my eyes alone and wait for the next love. After this monologue and the jumbled shots that are as chaotic as the beginning, the scene suddenly goes dark and the film ends.

Many people who thought the movie was very boring at the beginning suddenly had a feeling of loss, this movie, one story in this movie, or two stories, makes people feel unfinished, but they feel just right. "You're right. Wan Ping said: "He really didn't go to Meimei." "Hmm. Cui Shuai nodded: "At first, I thought this movie was boring, but now I suddenly feel that it is very interesting, and I want to watch it again, and these four people in the movie are also very interesting." Everyone has a different personality and a different way of life, and they also led to the father of Peony, who made a lot of money by smuggling. And some men, after answering "yes", find that the girl has really disappeared! They really want to test the truth of this promise. As a result, some found it in two or three days, and some lost contact and broke up in ten or eight days...... Within a month, dozens of news broke up because of this matter, which made Ye Zheng, who heard the news, smile bitterly, and hurriedly posted on Weibo: "Don't play like this! Tell everyone, never use this kind of thing to tempt and persecute your lover, this is a very unwise behavior."

What do you get if you go and persecute your lover? If he cares about you, you're stupid to do it because you've hurt him. If he doesn't care about you, you're even more stupid to do that...... I advise you to cherish the people in front of you! In this life and this life, if you meet someone you love and love you, how lucky it is! Don't regret and regret your mistakes...... There was once a sincere love in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and when I lost it, I regretted it, the most painful thing in the world is nothing more than this, if God can give me a chance to do it again......" It's already November, and the publicity of "Journey to the West" is in full swing.

Before Mengyuan entered, the woman's face was full of confidence. She feels that her daughters are very good at piano and dancing, and they are also very good at singing, and they have a relatively formal education. Even if it was the two children before, it was definitely not as good as Mengyuan.

However, the result was that Mengyuan was eliminated, and no one said that she was good in a certain aspect and could cultivate a certain aspect. The woman thought about her confidence just now, as if she had been slapped in the face. "You stupid person, have you forgotten all the things you usually learned?, or have you eaten them all in your stomach?" she pinched Mengyuan's face hard, with a lot of force, and directly twisted Mengyuan into tears. Many people looked sideways, looking at this place, some people looked unbearable, and some people began to tell their children to work hard. And many children are worried that if they don't pass, they will suffer from flesh and skin after they come out.

"Don't blame the child......" Wang Taohan couldn't help but persuade. "It's none of your business, get out of the way!" the woman scolded loudly: "I tell you, don't think that we can't pass you, we can't pass, and you definitely can't! You are far behind!" "You ......" Wang Taohan saw the woman's annoyed and angry appearance, and snorted: "Unreasonable!"

Yaoyao entered, Wang Taohan looked at the door anxiously, and the woman snorted coldly: "I won't leave, wait here to see the joke! What we can't get in our family's dreams, you poor ghosts can also get? Go home and have your spring and autumn dreams!"

"You pay attention to quality!" Wang Taohan felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, if he wasn't here, he would have exploded a long time ago. "This lady, please be quiet!" a security guard came over and reminded him, but he looked at the woman with a hint of disgust.

Mengyuan was still crying, and the woman felt that she was very ashamed, so she twisted Mengyuan's arm fiercely again, and scolded: "Why are you crying! And your face is crying! Don't want to go out to play in the future, give me honest dance and piano practice! I'll sign you up for an art class again! I don't believe I can't train you!"

"With a mother like you, what kind of child can you raise...... Wang Taohan said in his heart. The woman scolded Mengyuan and kept her from crying. It quieted down, but he didn't leave, waiting to see Wang Taohan and Yaoyao's jokes. Three or four minutes have passed, Yaoyao has not come out yet, Wang Taohan is very anxious, and he doesn't know what the situation is inside. Many children come out after three or four minutes of going in, and they are still very quick to choose people. In fact, everyone knows that today's selection does not mean that it will ensure some kind of contractual relationship with the space-time group. It is estimated that at least a few hundred children will be selected in the preliminary selection.

These children will be screened and eliminated layer by layer, and eventually about 100 of them will enter the performance training class. Others, some of which will probably be selected and cultivated by other directions of the space-time group. There must also be some people who want to go home. Therefore, this initial interview, in fact, is to rely on the keen eyes of these examiners, first observe the talents of these children, and a few minutes can completely see whether a child has the talent and potential space for development in a certain aspect.

It's been five minutes, and Yaoyao hasn't come out yet, Wang Taohan can't help muttering in his heart, what is going on inside? It should be a good thing, right? After staying for a long time, it should mean that they are more interested in Yaoyao, right? But Yaoyao has never been trained, what show did they let her perform?

At the level of Yaoyao's singing and dancing, how can it be compared to Mengyuan. Seven or eight minutes have passed, Yaoyao still hasn't come out, and even some people around are whispering, could it be that Ye Zheng and they need to take a break, so let Yaoyao wait inside? Wang Taohan was curious in his heart, and he also looked forward to it with a hint of luck. The woman snorted lightly: "Don't dream, she can't be favored by Ye Zheng."

Who is the person? The big boss of an entertainment company doesn't know how many well-educated children are waiting for him to cultivate, so why does he fancy a child like a hillbilly? If you want me to say, this so-called assessment interview is actually just that. Most of those who eventually entered that training course must have entered or bought through relationships!"

Wang Taohan ignored this kind of person who couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, his brows were furrowed, his fists were clenched, and he looked at the closed door with a nervous expression. "Squeak......" Suddenly, the door opened, and Wang Taohan subconsciously wanted to rush up to ask Yaoyao, but found that it was a young man standing at the door. "Cheng Yijian. "Director Cheng, he's so young!" "Isn't it, he became a rookie in the directing industry at a young age, and he has a bright future in the future, if only my children could follow him to film!"

"I heard that the background of this Director Cheng is not simple...... people immediately buzzed and discussed, Cheng Yijian is only one year older than Ye Zheng, and now he is a well-known director, and he is in time and space film and television, and he is good friends with Ye Zheng. Those who have a heart know that his family background is not simple. Cheng Yijian and Su Momo can be said to be the artists of the Time and Space Group with the best family background. It can be said that as long as he works hard, he can make high-quality movies again, and he will soon become a famous director at home and abroad.

"Who are Wang Yaoyao's parents?" asked Cheng Yijian with a smile.

"Ahh Wang Taohan's heart chuckled: "What's wrong?" "It turned out to be you, rest assured, it's a good thing." Cheng Yijian said with a smile: "We think this child is very good, very talented in acting, she has always been self-taught, right?" "Yes! Just follow the movie and TV series on the TV computer!" Wang Taohan was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that something good must fall on their father and daughter, and his tone was much more excited.

"If it's self-taught, that's really good, she now has a certain amount of acting ability, and we even have the idea of letting her go filming now. Cheng Yijian said with a smile: "So, big brother, you should also come in and have a good talk with the person in charge of the company." Then, the next child to be assessed, come in together!" Wang Taohan's mind was clouded, and he felt that everything was like a dream. Yaoyao was actually favored by Time and Space Film and Television, and they praised Yaoyao for really having a high acting talent, and she was ...... even said that you can go to film now?

This...... He suddenly felt that the world had become colorful, and his life, which seemed pale after the divorce, instantly became full of vitality. Mengyuan, who had just stopped her tears, showed a look of envy and happiness, she envied her little friend, and she was also happy that her good friend was chosen. But the woman's face was not good-looking. "What shit luck!" the woman looked gloomy and scolded in a low voice: "A bunch of blind guys!"

Cheng Yijian looked at her, didn't say anything, but signaled to Wang Taohan, and took Wang Taohan and the next little boy to be assessed. The woman looked around, saw the mocking eyes of the people around her, her face turned red, and she cursed in a low voice, and left with her dreams in a stupid way. Walking into the room, Wang Taohan saw Yaoyao talking to a young man, who was clear and graceful, it was Ye Zheng. And next to Ye Zheng, there were three people in their thirties and forties. One man and two women.

"Dad!" Yaoyao saw Wang Taohan first, immediately left Ye Zheng, and ran over happily, her little face smiled into a flower: "Dad, Brother Ye Zheng said, let me go to make a movie!" "Yaoyao is awesome!" Wang Taohan excitedly wanted to hug Yaoyao and kiss her, but she felt a little embarrassed that so many people were watching, so she smiled and touched Yaoyao's little face. "You are Yaoyao's father. Ye Zheng walked over and stretched out his hand to Wang Taohan.

"Hey, I am! Hello, my name is Wang Taohan!" Wang Taohan excitedly stretched out his hands to shake hands with Ye Zheng, he never imagined that when he came here today, Yaoyao would be able to be taken a fancy to, and he would see Ye Zheng, and Ye Zheng would take the initiative to shake hands with him so politely...... Ye Zheng and Cheng Yijian, with Wang Taohan and Yaoyao, came to a lounge, and the next assessment was continued by the other three examiners. "Let Yaoyao be the starring role in "Home Alone", what do you think?" Ye Zheng asked Cheng Yijian.

"Home Alone"?" Cheng Yijian was stunned: "But the starring role of this play is a boy!" "Wouldn't it be okay to change it to a girl!" Ye Zheng said: "A quirky and naughty and cute little girl, don't you think it's more attractive than a little boy?" This is Ye Zheng and Cheng Yijian's new plan to complete the filming of "Home Alone" at the end of the year, and use this movie and "Journey to the West" as a New Year film. It's the end of September, but the scene of the ghost is small and there are few actors. As well as its perfect script and current shooting methods, it should be completed in one month, plus only editing in the later stage, two months should be enough. Comedy is undoubtedly the most suitable genre for Chinese New Year films. And today's film and television industry lacks excellent comedy movies. A "Journey to the West" is very funny, but it contains connotation, which can be regarded as a tragicomedy. And "Home Alone" is just like that, the artistic atmosphere of this movie is too strong, and the box office is not very fierce. But just like "Can't Do Without You", the box office of "Suzhou River" is very stable, and it is even more stable than "Can't Do Without You"! Ten days after its release, the box office exceeded 400 million!

Moreover, in September and October, two more first-class and second-class film festivals were held, and "Suzhou River" won several more awards, which won quite a lot! Taking this opportunity, "Suzhou River" is planned to be released in more than 30 countries in two batches. In the first batch of ten countries, the total box office on the first day reached 320 million!

After all, this movie has not escaped the fate of being favored abroad and having poor domestic results. Of course, this disadvantage is relatively compared to foreign countries. In fact, for such a literary and artistic movie, the box office of "Suzhou River" reached 680 million at the domestic box office 20 days later, which has fallen below the eyeballs of many people. As for the foreign box office, 10 days after its release, it has reached 2.1 billion. "This can definitely be called a box office miracle for domestic literary films!" everyone said.
