Chapter 734: Broken Dreams
At the premiere, in the screening room, the movie was still being screened.
As soon as the grumpy father played by Fu Dalong appeared, in just two minutes of scenes, the atmosphere of the whole movie suddenly changed.
The audience began to worry about the heroine, and also sympathized with the gentle mother played by Qin Hairu.
However, it didn't take long for the advent of a laptop to once again bring the style of the movie back to comedy.
The funny and joyful videos made the family happy, and the audience at the scene was also infected by this atmosphere, and the audience's minds became relaxed again.
The CEOs of major companies in the front row are also watching movies seriously, and as professionals who have been in the industry for more than ten years, they read no less than some film critics.
And as the CEO of a large company that has stood in the industry for many years, his vision is far beyond ordinary people.
Don't look at them, they often miss some dark horses, but no matter who they are, it's impossible not to look away, unless they open the hanging.
The reason why a dark horse has become a dark horse is that it succeeds when the vast majority of people are not optimistic.
I have watched a lot of movies, even if I am not from a professional background, I can see a little bit of it.
"I didn't expect Tang An to be able to shoot comedy well. ”
Wang Zhongjun sighed in his heart, although he had only watched it for more than 20 minutes, but just the rhythm of the beginning, the laughter in it, and the effect of guiding emotions, Wang Zhongjun could already see that this would at least be a good comedy.
Originally, he thought that Tang An's film, like most comedies, was to pile up some smiling faces and put them together, in that case, even if Tang An's reputation could get a high box office a few days ago, the follow-up trend would not be as stable as Tang An's previous movies.
Huayi relied on comedies, and she couldn't know more about this genre, "Private Custom" is a typical film that piles up jokes, so in the case of 330 million in the first weekend, the total box office is only 750 million.
This is the trend of ordinary commercial films, not to mention the trend of Tang An's previous films, even compared with movies such as "Looking for the Dragon", "Hong Kong", and "Detective Chinatown", which broke one billion, they are much worse.
Even Cheng Long's "Zodiac" was 230 million in the first weekend and four days, and finally won one billion, and it was released a year earlier.
Even in the original time and space, "Zodiac" has nearly 900 million.
are all comedies, and they are all released in the Chinese New Year, and the gap between the two word-of-mouth is directly reflected in the box office.
Comedy requires talent, whether it is a director or an actor, it is rare to see other types of directors switch careers to comedy, even if comedy is very popular now.
However, it is also difficult to pile up some jokes and jokes together without looking too inconsistent, otherwise the money will be too easy to make.
In Wang Zhongjun's mind, Tang An can make so many different types of movies is already very awesome, if he still has comedy talent, it is really a bit scary.
If it is the same as ordinary comedies, pile up some jokes and jokes, pour some chicken soup at the end, and shoot according to this mode, the word-of-mouth will not be much better, and the follow-up trend will naturally not be good, then there is a high probability of losing to "Transformers 4".
But now it is completely different from what I expected, the movie is obviously not deliberately funny, and the emotions and characters are portrayed very well.
Feng Xiaogang thought the same as Wang Zhongjun at this time, as one of the directors who are best at comedy in China, he didn't say anything about this vision.
Like the films of his early years, although they are comedy films, they are not funny for the sake of being funny.
However, Feng Xiaogang did not immediately define the movie.
This "Mystery Superstar" is obviously not just a comedy, the theme is still inspirational, comedy is just a way of expression, and the core is still inspirational.
The main emotional display of inspirational movies allows the audience to be moved and touched.
Feng Xiaogang has always believed that the most contagious emotions are crying and laughing, both of which his comedy movies and "Tangshan Earthquake" have done quite well.
But "1942" still failed at the box office, although emotionally he did it, but in the end it was not cathartic.
At the end of "Tangshan Earthquake", the family was reunited, and the mother and daughter untied the knot of their hearts for half their lives, and vented their emotions that had been held for so long in crying.
"1942" did not do it, leaving the audience depressed from beginning to end and not released.
With this lesson, Feng Xiaogang now understands that if you watch "Mysterious Superstar" now, if the relationship between the protagonist's mother and daughter and father is not handled well at the end of the end, it will be considered half of the failure.
Whether it is reconciliation or the divorce of parents in the end, there are problems.
In just such a scene of more than a minute, the audience should already hate the role of the father, plus the plot and emotions of the movie must be progressive, and the disgust will be deeper and deeper.
Reconciliation is sure to make the audience uncomfortable.
And the mother really obeys her daughter, and if she divorces, it will violate the "three views".
The daughter "instigated" her mother to divorce, which is inconsistent with the traditional concept of China.
In reality, there are many examples of parents who abandon their children from a young age, and as a result, after the child is adopted by someone else, the parents who have not asked for decades come to the door to ask their son for money.
If the son doesn't give it, the biological parents will be unreasonable.
In this case, many people, including the son's friends, will stand on the moral high ground and say, "No matter what, they are your biological parents." ”
Even if there are people who feel that they should not give money, at least half of them will not say it, because it is easy to be sprayed.
The ethics of family affection are always inexplicable and indistinguishable.
Feng Xiaogang adjusted his sitting posture and stared at the big screen for a long time, looking forward to what Tang An would do.
......
The movie is still being screened, and after having a computer, Xiaodi Xiang came up with a good way to record a singing video by himself and post it on the Internet, so that more people can hear his singing.
However, when I think of my father, he has always disagreed with his singing, and even the guitar was finally kept.
Xiao Di, who was full of frustration, began to be petty again, and even his mother came to persuade him, but he also shook his face.
Looking at Xiao Di who lost his temper with his mother on this big screen, the audience couldn't help frowning.
Then the mother thought of a way to let Xiaodi wear a mask to record a video.
Xiaodi feels unreliable, he can't see his appearance when he wears a mask, how to be famous, how to be a big singer.
“”
Mom's wise words didn't calm down Xiao Di, Xiao Di said that it was a stupid idea.
Just when the audience was curious about how to solve this matter, the big screen instantly darkened, and Xiao Di with a mask appeared in the camera.
I adjusted the camera of the computer, took a deep breath, and took the guitar with a little trepidation.
With a gentle pluck of the strings, he quickly calmed down and was full of confidence.
Wearing a mask, holding an ordinary guitar, no lights, no backup dance, just standing quietly in place and singing.
Can anyone tell me where I am?
Can anyone tell me where my heart is?
How to choose right and wrong can no longer hesitate
What the journey looks like is still a long time?
......
The long-term, tactful singing voice is transmitted to the ears of the audience through the top-notch audio equipment, and the stereo sound surrounds the audience's ears.
This is the theme song of the Chinese version of the movie in this film, Tang An remembers a lyric, and the song does not understand.
The song was designed by the creation studio of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and they couldn't be better at this kind of positive energy inspirational song.
Compared with the male version sung by Huang Bo, it is more suitable for girls in their teens and twenties to sing.
The lyrics are not bad, this lyricist later wrote the theme song for "The Origin of the White Snake".
A song that has never been heard, the audience is not too surprised, after all, even if you are a music professional, it is impossible to listen to all the songs.
And many of the songs in film and television dramas are originally sung, which is not strange.
The first few sentences have a very confused feeling, and they are very artistic conception of the lyrics. ”
There were professionals in the crowd thinking.
Halfway through the song, the picture turns again and cuts to a magnificent stage.
The stadium, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, is empty, except for the dazzling lights that envelop the huge stage in the center.
Xiao Di appeared under the stage and changed into a gorgeous evening dress.
Smiling and going up step by step, he grabbed the microphone, looked in front of him, and continued to sing, which happened to be the climax of the song.
I am the night sky greeting the moonlight
I am the fire and choose to be strong
I'm a drop chasing a wave
I'm a bird against the wind
I am the night sky greeting the moonlight
I am the fire and choose to be strong
I'm a drop chasing a wave
I'm a bird against the wind
I want to see far away, please forgive
......
Different from the confusion in the front, the lyrics and music in the climax are full of passion, and the gap between the lyrics of each game is very short, and it is completely done in one go.
The passionate and high-pitched singing voice is paired with the top-notch sound equipment, as well as the foreshadowing of the characters themselves, and the heroine on the big screen from the small cage-like room at home to this huge stage, these factors add up to make the audience feel more emotional, and their scalps are numb and their blood is boiling by the singing.
After the song was finished, the camera returned to the small room, and Xiao Di was still playing and singing passionately.
After recording a video, Xiaodi immediately registered an account on the Tudou Microvision short video APP, his name was Mystery Superstar and uploaded his work, with a look of satisfaction and joy.
It had only been two minutes since the upload, and Xiao Di was walking around the room, constantly refreshing the page.
I waited for a few minutes, but there were no clicks, no likes, and no comments.
"I knew it wouldn't work!"
Xiao Di's face changed suddenly, and he closed the computer with some irritation.
"How do I feel that the heroine has a bad temper and loses her temper at every turn. ”
The movie ran for half an hour, and Xiao Di had already shown his irritable side a few times, but the number of times was small and not too serious, so the audience didn't pay attention.
After Xiaodi was late for class, he was distracted again in class, and was scolded by the teacher, Peng Yichang was very worried about her, and asked her if there was anything wrong with her after class, and Xiaodi was also hurt twice.
There will be a similar situation every few minutes, showing another side of the heroine's personality, which most viewers are aware of.
"This temper is a little bad, and people haven't messed with her, and they haven't scolded him when they come to care about him. ”
"Hot face to stick to cold ass, licking the dog will end up with nothing!"
"I recalled that the heroine had already been angry with her mother, brother, and the little boy once, and she was too willful and lost her temper whenever something didn't go her way. ”
......
Thirty minutes and three small plots allow the audience to see another side of the heroine.
However, the next day, Xiaodi went home and turned on the computer to find that the video he uploaded was finally watched, with a lot of clicks, views, and a lot of messages.
In addition to some memes and 666, there are also some more normal and positive comments.
Slowly more and more people knew her, and at night Xiaodi was alone in the room watching the comments of netizens until late at night.
On the big screen, comments emerged one after another, surrounding Xiaodi, accompanied by her singing.
This happy scene did not last long, and then Xiaodi began to be addicted to the Internet, arriving late, leaving early, going to class in a daze every day, and writing twice casually during the exam, just to go home and see the messages of netizens.
The mysterious superstar is on fire and has been on the hot search on Weibo, many online media are reporting it, and the famous music producer Lei Jiayin also left him a message, privately messaged a video, and said in a frivolous tone that he thought she was a genius and that he could make her a big star.
However, the good times did not last long, Xiaodi only scored 30 points in the exam, and her angry father directly broke the strings of her violin.
Fu Dalong's appearance this time was less than a minute, but this minute once again made the audience start to worry.
"This father's approach is too much, he smashes the piano at every turn, and he wants to beat people. ”
"I think the heroine deserves it, what's the difference between this and an Internet addicted teenager, arriving late and leaving early, not listening to class, if I take it, I will smash the piano!"
"I feel a little annoying to the heroine, it's too ignorant. ”
"Isn't it all like this during the rebellious period, everyone has experienced it. ”
Then, Xiaodi scolded Peng Yichang who came to comfort her again, and when she got home, her father found that her mother's necklace was missing.
When I got married, I didn't say hello to myself, and my father was very angry.
I couldn't hide the computer thing, and my father also knew the reason for Xiaodi's recent bad grades, so he directly slapped my mother.
In order to prevent her mother from being beaten, Xiaodi could only listen to her father and throw the computer down from the second floor.
With a "bang", the computer was smashed apart, and Xiaodi's music dream was shattered.
