Chapter Seventy-Seven: "Hot Pot Heroes"
"Spiritual Domain" is a web novel with high popularity and is one of the big IPs.
After iQIYI bought the copyright, it found several producers to jointly create this drama.
The male number one is the former brother-in-law of the big black bull, and the female number one is Cheng Xiao.
Yang Xin actually didn't want Cheng Xiao to take over the show, but the producer offered a price of 12 million...
Then go for it!
Eh, even if it's a big broker, you have to bow to capital...
No, Xiao himself likes this crew very much, and he gets along well with a few young ladies.
She knew about Shen Ming's affair with Lin Yun'er in the morning...
At that time, my heart was broken, and her aftermath was gone...
I was in a bad mood all day, and I persevered until the evening, and I couldn't help but call Shen Ming.
He actually said he liked her...
At that moment, I felt like I was hit by a fawn in the chest...
It's so fun to fly!
However, I didn't know how to answer, and in a hurry, I hung up the phone ...
……
There are many movie theaters around Hengdian.
Li Simiao is a staff member of the cinema, she used to be a ticket seller, and then Maoyan launched automatic ticket sales by scanning codes, and her job became retail...
Technological progress brings unemployment!
There are three new films coming out tonight.
"My Agent Grandpa" has the highest film schedule, Hong Jinbao and Andy Lau, the manager said, the box office starts at least 500 million!
"The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk" ranks third in the film, and after the box office success of "You at the Same Table", the short and tight IP is very valuable, not only "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk", "Love in the Dust", "The Age of Fluttering White" are all in the project...
"Hot Pot Hero"...
The name is too Low!
But with the joining of Chen Kun and Bai Lily, the film schedule ranks second, a little higher than the film schedule of "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk"...
Li Simiao's cinema has 7 screening halls, and two screening halls screen "Hot Pot Hero".
However, at present, it may not be enough, the attendance is full, and there are still people buying tickets!
However, the attendance rate of "The Brother Who Slept on My Top Bunk" was obviously low...
Now it is difficult for theaters to make money, especially in first-tier and second-tier cities, a bunch of netizens are staring, I am afraid that there will be ghost fields!
Damn, they all complain about "Ip Man 3", stinky stupid, they have gone too far!
Of course, Hengdian is not a big city, but there are a lot of people staring...
Those producers don't dare to brush the box office.
Li Simiao thought as she handed a box of popcorn to the girl with a mask in front of her...
Neurotic, she still wears a mask at night, there are celebrities in Hengdian, and she has seen it with her own eyes!
Which influencer must be!
Internet celebrity Cheng Xiao held the popcorn and said to the young lady next to him: "Let's go, let's go in!"
"Don't eat these at night, it's easy to gain weight!"
The young lady's name is Liu Yixi, she just debuted, she didn't mess with those messy habits, she and Cheng Xiao are both from Shenzhen, and they have a good relationship, so they couldn't help but persuade her.
"It's okay, just do more exercise tomorrow!"
Cheng Xiao didn't care, and pulled the young lady into the No. 4 screening room.
At this time, the screening room was already full!
Only then did I find a seat and sit down, the lights on the top of the screening hall went out, and the logos of Wanda, Xinli, and Qiancheng appeared at the beginning of the film, and the movie officially began!
……
Heavy rain poured down.
A van was driving on a small road in Chongqing, and the camera followed the van, with the words 'debt collection' written on the back.
Soon, the robbers appeared, carrying guns and masks, and walked out of the van ...
Wearing Tang Seng's mask is Shen Ming, he is the first to take off the mask, there is a big close-up, tilting his head and staring at the security guard who is playing with his mobile phone, his eyes reveal a hint of banter, the next second, he turned to tyranny, and directly smashed the security guard with the butt of the gun...
Then, the driver got into trouble and ran away...
Several robbers took control of the situation and blocked the door while looking for other exits.
If you are familiar with crime movies, "Operation Swordfish", "The Insider", and "The Rise of the Dark Knight" are all like this at the beginning!
Of course, it's not the protagonist who appears first!
From this fiery opening scene, to the main text of the story, in a very ingenious way: a robber accidentally discovered an inexplicable hole in the bank vault, he stretched out his head in surprise to peep, and the camera followed his line of sight, through the space, to the other end, the "Dongzi hot pot" at the bottom, the hot pot owner is selling to people, transferring this façade.
The next scene begins to narrate the roots.
The clever Xu Dong is selling this store to the receiver, Wang Pingchuan, one of the shareholders, is busy, and is yelled like a dog, and Liu Bo, who did not show up, turned the camera, played mahjong and gambled for money, and was caught by the creditor Seventh Brother when the game ended, and he was threatened, obviously owing a lot of debt.
The three of them gathered together, and a few sentences of dialogue, basically explained the character and the root cause of the conflict clearly.
Liu Bo is "greedy", Xu Dong is "slippery", Wang Pingchuan is "noodles", although everyone is a good brother, but all kinds of problems are piled up together, this store can't be opened, and the stop loss must be sold.
And Liu Bo, as the male number one, his trouble is greater than that of others, the deadline for usury is imminent, and this store may not be able to pay off if it is sold!
The rest of the story basically revolves around the two points of "hole" and "debt" at the beginning, in contrast, Yu Xiaohui's appearance is a hidden variable, she was originally not involved in this trouble, but her youth debt with Liu Bo involved her, and because of information asymmetry, her decision triggered more changes.
The main burdens and bridges are maintained in the first half of the film, and the advancement and development of the overall plot are connected by countless coincidences.
Expand the hot pot restaurant, dig it by hand, and then dig it to the bank vault, but the bank didn't find this hole...
I was thinking about what to do, and it was very coincidental that there were old classmates in the bank to do the internal response.
Then, the bank is robbed by gangsters, and they take their money, and there is a love letter in the backpack that just happens to contain the money, and the protagonist fights with the leader of the robbers...
The boss is hit by a car while fleeing, and several protagonists are mistaken for heroes and awarded commendations.
In fact, the telling of the story of "Hot Pot Hero" looks fancy, but for those who are experienced in watching movies, it will not be too far from expectations, and many people have already guessed how to solve the problem in the end after watching half of it.
Having two groups of bad guys kill each other because of a misunderstanding is a common occurrence in film history, such as Tony Scott's "Enemy of the State".
At the end of the story, of course, the bad guy will fall to the law and will not run away, this is a fixed ending pattern...
No, an audience like Cheng Xiao belongs to a person who doesn't have much experience in watching movies, she is very satisfied, uh... In fact, she stared at Shen Ming's face the whole time.
The more you look at it, the more satisfied you are!
It's so handsome!
is indeed very handsome, especially in the fight scene of the hot pot restaurant, Shen Ming, who is wearing a white shirt and suit pants, has a clean and neat movements, revealing the style of "Bloody College"!
At the end of the session, Cheng Xiao pushed the young lady and asked, "... Is it handsome or not? The one who plays Tang Seng?"
