Chapter 499
For "Sky Sniper Decision", Fan Wencheng attaches more importance than any time.
Because he has failed a big production before, and if this one succeeds, he will turn over directly, but if it fails, two big productions in succession, then although he will not collapse, he will definitely not be able to receive a big production so easily in the next few years.
Lin Jun, as a recognized boss in the film critic circle, is naturally the object of Fan Wencheng's invitation.
But Lin Jun's reply disappointed Fan Wencheng.
Lin Jun actually agreed to the invitation from "Dark War".
In fact, the reason why Lin Jun abandoned "Sky Sniper" and chose the premiere of "Dark War" is still related to Yang Min.
Lin Jun and Yang Min have a good relationship, Yang Min was shocked after watching "Dark War", plus "Dark War" and "Thirty Days of Divorce" formed a joint marketing cooperation.
Yang Min reciprocated the favor and specially called Lin Jun, saying that "Dark War" is definitely a rare good film, and said that in this film, Lin Xiao, a rookie director, definitely has unlimited potential, and the film "Dark War" will definitely surprise you.
At the same time, Yang Min also jokingly said, doesn't Lin Jun like to give newcomers a chance the most? So why not give Lin Xiao, a newcomer director with unlimited potential, a chance this time?
By the way, Yang Min also mentioned "Infernal Affairs".
In the end, Lin Jun agreed to Yang Min with a smile, but the two also made a bet that if "Dark War" could not reach an excellent evaluation in Lin Jun, then Yang Min invited Lin Jun to eat, and he could choose the place, otherwise, Lin Jun would invite Yang Min to a big meal.
Ling Xiao Court has won three consecutive films, and "Infernal Affairs" is known as a classic among Chinese police and gangster films, and the media that came to cheer this time is obviously a lot more than when "Infernal Affairs" was released.
It also shows from the side that Ling Xiao Pavilion is no longer a small company that is kneaded casually.
Beijing International Theater.
The scene of the premiere of "Dark War"!
This time it was not like the last time there were only three or two kittens, but many well-known media were present.
"Hey, Lao Liu, why are you here too?" Li Wen, the editor-in-chief of "Light and Shadow Times" magazine, looked at another man in his forties with some surprise.
"Aren't you here too? Why can't I come?" Liu Liangdong, who is known as Lao Liu, is the editor-in-chief of "Audiovisual Feast". is also a veteran film critic.
"Yes, last time I thought that "Infernal Affairs" would definitely not be able to compare with "Marginal Man", but as a result, I missed the opportunity to see this classic of police and gangster films for the first time. Li Wen said with a smile.
"Who says it's not? If you want me to say, Tianxing, these old film and television giants, are too petty, and Fan Wencheng, you say that he is a big director, what kind of competition does he have with a newcomer? What can he do if he wins? If he loses, it will be more than worth the loss. Liangdong said.
"I just saw Lin Jun, and he is also here, it seems that there are a lot of people who pay attention to this "Dark War". Li Wen said again.
"Lin Jun is also here? You read that right? Isn't he on good terms with Fan Wencheng? Fan Wencheng's films have always invited him, but he didn't go, but came here?" Liu Liangdong asked with some surprise.
"Hehe, who knows?" Li Wen shook his head.
"Well, I hope this movie doesn't disappoint us!" Liu Liangdong said.
"Yes, even Lin Jun is here, it's a good thing and a bad thing for Lin Xiao, Lin Jun's guy has always been a guy who doesn't watch people and only watches movies, didn't he directly scold Fan Wencheng's "Marginal Man" last time? If "Dark War" is filmed well this time, it's better to say, if it's worse, it is estimated that Lin Jun will definitely not show mercy. Li Wen said with a smile.
"I think it's quite suspenseful, after all, Lin Xiao is the first time to make a movie......"
In the midst of everyone's small talk, the screen went dark and soon lit up again.
Lin Jun had already taken out his notebook.
Professional people, of course, have to do professional things.
The movie begins, and the sound of the scene gradually decreases until it is completely quiet.
At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist Xiao played by Lin Xiao is told that there are only four weeks left in his life.
Seeing this, listen to the dialogue between Lin Xiao's character and the doctor.
Lin Jun couldn't help but smile.
In his notebook, he wrote: Proposition 1: What do people do before they die?
In the first scene, when Lin Xiao and Liang Shaoqing appeared in the same store to eat, the camera was given to the cartoon broadcast on the TV.
Many ordinary viewers may not pay attention to this scene, but Lin Jun let out a sigh of surprise in surprise.
He wrote in his notebook: animation, insinuation?
A heavy question mark was hit.
Then there is the highlight moment of He Shangsheng played by Liang Shaoqing, the bank robbery.
Liang Shaoqing's interaction with his boss, as well as his performance during the robbery negotiations, are completely two people.
But Lin Jun paid more attention and found more.
The radicalization of the movement is guided by the radicalization of the sound, and this transition is not bad!
And when Lin Xiao and Liang Shaoqing were in the same store for the second time, it was still that store, and sure enough, the cartoon broadcast on the TV once again gave a close-up of the shot.
But there's a little bit of a change.
A look of surprise appeared on Lin Jun's face.
New director?
This repeated montage is not bad.
The footage of this animation doesn't seem to have much to do with the film, but Lin Jun notices it.
This close-up of the cartoon, which has appeared twice in a row, is definitely not a waste shot, but uses the method of repeated montage to allude and corroborate.
From the cartoon content of the family eating at the beginning, to the only one person left there to make a phone call at the back, if I guessed correctly, it is likely that there will be a close-up of this animation next.
Is it an allusion to the psychology of the male protagonist?
When, when Liang Wanting appeared for the first time, that bus encounter made Lin Jun stunned.
This plot ...... Today's young people really think differently.
For a moment, Lin Jun actually felt a little nostalgic for his old age, although he couldn't say whether this plot was good or bad, but I don't know why, after watching this plot, he actually had a very refreshing feeling.
Is it romantic? Young people really don't understand what they think.
And what surprised Lin Jun the most was that many places in this drama were related to cars.
The first duel happened on the bus, and Lin Xiao's first scene of warmth also happened on the bus.
Subsequently, the scene where Lin Xiao's identity was pointed out still happened in the car.
There are too many scenes about cars in the film.
Is this a metaphor for something?
Lin Jun couldn't think of a reason, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, he was too drilly.
I actually have to associate what deeper things are being expressed in any picture.
