With the appearance of Langya Qishao, the atmosphere of the movie scene changed slightly.

It wasn't Hawke's delusion, and every time he appeared on the screen for the next half hour, he could hear a slight exclamation from behind, which always felt strange because it was mostly a girl's voice, and in a cinema with all the lights dimmed.

This kind of weirdness that seems to be absent can no longer be suppressed when the movie is two hours and forty minutes into the movie, and it completely explodes.

On the screen, Qingyang Mude, played by Hawke, and Yuan Han, played by Wu Ruibo, greeted each other with the etiquette set in the movie world.

In fact, it is simply to pat each other's shoulders with her hands, but this shot was taken by Zhang Wenzhi, and the technique used is the same as that in her literary movie "Flowing Years".

Long music, slow motion and eye contact gave Hawke, who had been pretending to be calm for half an hour, goosebumps.

"Ahh

The screams broke the peaceful atmosphere, and Zheng Shuyi, who was separated by the two seats of Hawke, was so frightened that he trembled, and by the light on the screen, several people turned their heads to find out the source of the screams.

Seeing the face at the source of the sound almost scared Hawke to death.

Fortunately, if you look closely, you can make sure it's not your cousin.

Zhang Weiwei was shocked, looking at the girl next to her in disbelief, her jaw almost dropping.

It seems to be my cousin's best friend? Hawke remembers meeting once at a family and friends party.

The girl was stunned for a moment when she noticed that everyone was looking at her, and when she came back to her senses, she covered half of her face with her coat and ran out quickly.

After the farce, everyone continued to watch the movie as if nothing had happened.

After the plot of the three clans on Lingyun Island, except for some funny scenes of Langya Qishao and Shiren Shao arguing, the movie style finally returned to the way it was two hours ago.

No matter how good the supporting roles are, the main line still returns to the plot of the scrap wood male protagonist Duofu holding the imperial ring to climb the snowy mountain, cross the grassland, and penetrate the hole.

Maybe the scream just now was terrifying, and then the audience was as quiet as chickens, and even the shocking picture of Da Wu Gan dying together with the fire demon in order to save everyone didn't hear any feedback.

It wasn't until near the end of the movie that Hawke's archery sequence, which had been repeated countless times in the finale trailer, re-embarked.

I usually hold a computer tablet to watch the trailer, but I really go to the cinema, with high-end background sound and almost naked-eye 3D picture quality, and the grade is coming up.

Hawke remembered that this shot was filmed more than 20 times because Deputy Director Zhang thought the color of the headband was not good-looking, and finally chose a blue and black headband in the finished film.

As the sun sets, the sun shines on the boy's headband, reflecting a golden light.

Even if the archery is accurate, it can't rewrite the plot killing, and after the arrow shot by Langya Qishao hit the temple of a demon leader a hundred meters away, he still couldn't save the supporting character of the Terran who was stabbed several times.

The eldest son of the seriously injured Prime Minister of Great Xia said to Yuan Han with his last breath: "I am willing to follow you, my leader, my brother, and my majesty. ”

The film ends on a tragic note.

Hawke looked at the rolling text at the end of the credit, and turned a deaf ear to the applause that gradually sounded behind him.

After two and a half years in this world, he finally made his debut in commercial films, and for a moment he even felt that the box office was not so important.

The lights in the auditorium pulled Hawke back to reality from his thoughts, and when he saw the audience standing up and clapping, Hawke took all his thoughts out of his mind.

Hehe, it seems that it is better to go back to the company to work overtime and have a meeting to discuss how to send bib publicity, and the most important thing is to increase the box office.

......

Weekends always fly by, and it's time to go to work in a blink of an eye.

March in Beijing is the season when the poplars are flying, and if it happens to be a windy day, it will be a kind of torture for pedestrians.

Zhang Xianzu was allergic to poplar catkins, wearing a double-layer mask, squinting his eyes, and running quickly into a richly renovated building.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the four big characters [Sky Pictures] carved on the marble in front of the hall.

The little sister who was chatting with her colleagues at the front desk looked helpless when she saw Zhang Xianzu, and said in line of professional ethics: "Mr. Zhang, please take your visitor card, thank you." ”

As soon as she handed over the card, Xiaomei immediately turned her head and said to her colleague proudly: "Everyone says it's blue and black, but you're colorblind." ”

The colleague looked aggrieved, but still said weakly: "It's really platinum, I'm not mistaken." ”

Zhang Xianzu took a few breaths before entering the elevator, and when he took off his mask just now, the poplar on his clothes floated to his face, making him feel uncomfortable and want to cry.

Looking at the thick materials in his hand, his knuckles turned white, and he pinched the edges of the materials until they were deformed.

Century Entertainment has very few cinema lines in Huaxia, so the distribution rights of "Knifeman" in Huaxia fell to Sky Pictures, and Mr. Hong, whose office is on the twelfth floor, is the head of Sky Pictures.

Looking at the floor numbers that gradually lit up in the elevator, Zhang Xianzu couldn't help but think.

The lights on the sixth floor are on, oh yes, the box office on the first Friday over there is six million;

A few seconds later, I was on the seventh floor, matching Saturday's seven million figures.

Sunday was even better, straight to nine million.

If this is the first weekend box office of "Swordsman", Zhang Xianzu will not be happy, this is just a passing grade.

But what if these 22 million are from a movie that is nearly twice as long as "Knife" and has less than 60% of the film schedule of "Knife"?

Although this algorithm is too sloppy and does not take into account the attendance rate at all, Zhang Xianzu feels that if he does not win the box office of 40 million in the first week, it will be a big loss.

And what worries him is not the special effects, not the actors' acting skills, and not only his directing ability, but the invisible hands.

There are still three days left before the premiere of the movie, and even though he has already returned many times in vain, Zhang Xianzu still came to the sky with the last glimmer of hope.

Mr. Hong was waiting in the office as promised, but there were two chairs in front of the table.

"Katsuo just got a call from a friend and went out, I'm sorry I can only make you wait. Mr. Hong, who was full of white hair, said.

was so anxious, Zhang Xianzu still said on the surface that it didn't matter.

In front of him, Mr. Hong, who is over sixty years old, started by selling CDs when he was young, and relied on hard work and luck to build a huge family business for decades, and his Sky Pictures occupies nearly 20% of the theater share in China.

But Mr. Hong's children were unsatisfactory in things, and finally got a daughter in her forties, named Shengnan, and in the past few years, she has been teaching by example in big and small things.

In Zhang Xianzu's view, this daughter of Sky Pictures is fully worthy of the word "waste".

But who called this big guy only one daughter?

"Phew! That's platinum!" Hong Shengnan, dressed in casual clothes, came in from the door, holding the phone and arguing with someone.

"Who wants to say that it is blue and black, and in the future, the membership cards of Feihualou and Qianbei Drunken Winery will be directly confiscated, not to mention that they will be blacklisted!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Shengnan hung up the phone directly and sat on the chair next to Zhang Xianzu casually.

"Director Zhang came over today, you are making people see a joke. Mr. Hong reproached with a doting tone.

Hong Shengnan turned his head with an indifferent face, and said to Zhang Xianzu with a smile: "Didn't you just come here last week, why did you come again?"

Zhang Xianzu ignored this question, and after resisting the urge to scold "waste", he looked at Mr. Hong bitterly and said: "I know it's very difficult for Mr. Hong, but if the finale of "Swordsman" is only two hours, many important plots can't be explained clearly, and the audience can't understand it." ”

"There are things that even I can't decide. Mr. Hong did not hesitate to say this sentence and Zhang Xianzu said at least five times, "On the physical disc, we will fully respect your opinion and use your edited version." ”

"Director Zhang doesn't have to worry, even if the box office of the film is not ideal, plus the income from selling discs, it will definitely be profitable in the end. Hong Shengnan said confidently, "Dad, am I right?" ”

Looking at Zhang Xian's loveless appearance, Mr. Hong said in a deep voice: "Director Zhang, the normal heart is very important, there are many factors that need to be considered in our line, I will look at the plan in your hand later, but I can't do anything about the finished product that has been reviewed." ”

As soon as Zhang Xianzu's front feet opened, Hong Shengnan took out his mobile phone and started playing games.

"It's hairy, it's grinning, and there's no progress. Mr. Hong scolded, "How will you be in charge of Sky Pictures in the future, and how will you take care of you-"

Hong Shengnan pouted and said, "I'm playing a game with Erjie, Aunt Ellie is going out shopping, and I'm going to cry when no one plays with him." ”

Facing Hong Shengnan, who was smiling and romantic, Mr. Hong sighed helplessly.
