Chapter 351: Just Went Out and Watched a Movie
There weren't many people in the cinema, but it was good for a midnight movie.
In front of John sat a greasy and crooked little couple, one of whom was a boy with a face full of reluctance.
"Baby, why do we have to come out to watch a movie at this point, now is the time to do sports. ”
"Jenny recommended this movie to me and said it was very good... Honey, just bear with me a little longer, soon, I'll be yours in two hours."
John was disgusted for a while, and although he often said this to his lover, he still chose to change to a place a little further away from the couple.
It was nice, well heated and quiet.
John glanced at his watch, and there were still forty minutes before the rescue maintenance vehicle arrived.
Damn, there's still a long time.
John cursed, and then patiently focused on the screen.
At the beginning of the movie, the first image that appears is the afternoon view of London Bridge, the dusk sunset, the afterglow of the river and the flying pigeons.
A strong nostalgic and lazy atmosphere came to my face, as if I was looking through an old photo album.
"It's not bad. John uttered his first assessment.
Then a girl in a white dress walked into the picture, and her appearance seemed to pull people out of the old photos and return to that era.
Then, a poor girl and a rich son meet unexpectedly.
"The director should be French. ”
John sees a strong French romance in the film.
So far, this film has been tepid, there are no too bright places, and there are no blinding scenes, but it gives people a very comfortable feeling and can be watched plainly.
From John's point of view, if this film continues to maintain this level, it is a good film, and if it may be able to recoup the cost in normal times, but it is unlucky to be arranged in the midnight slot, then he can only express deep sympathy for the production team.
John can roughly guess the following plot, a poor girl and a rich son fall in love, but are forced to separate for various reasons, the ending may be a happy or a tragedy, but it is always inevitable to fall into the cliché.
But soon John began to be surprised.
The plot of the film is indeed as cliché as he imagined, the mismatch of identity and status, and the differences between cultures and races, but the film is not stuck in clichés.
It's surprisingly bland, like a poem that reads simply.
John sees a large number of interactive shots between the hero and heroine, as if he is looking at his daily life with his lover, bold, fruitful, real, and full of desire.
Complicated and contradictory feelings slowly wrapped around John's heart like a thin thread, and by the time he reacted, he was already deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate himself.
Suddenly, the mobile phone rings, which is particularly harsh in the quiet of the movie theater.
Several people in the front row all looked back at John, John made an apologetic gesture, he glanced at the phone screen, it was the rescue team calling.
John didn't want to take it, he just saw a little taste of this movie, and he was reluctant to leave now, but he still picked up the phone.
"Sir, I'm very sorry, I can only tell you one unfortunate news, our car has also broken down on the road and is now waiting for rescue.. Can you wait a little longer?"
"Great!" John cried out in surprise.
"What?.. Are you angry, sir? I don't really understand what you mean."
"No, no, no.." John explained: "I mean, you guys have worked hard to keep working in such bad weather. You need a hot cup of coffee now, and a warm place... I recommend you to go to the cinema, it's a good choice, and remember to buy a movie ticket called "Lover", I promise you won't be disappointed."
The person on the other end of the line looked a little surprised and overwhelmed, and he probably thought that John was frozen stupid by the cold air.
"Hmm... Ok sir, I will consider your suggestion.. I'll call you again.."
Then, as if making an appointment, the lover also urged over.
"Baby, give me a little more time, the rescue convoy has broken down... This damn weather... Well, I love you.."
John was finally able to watch the movie comfortably again.
In the second half of the film, all the hidden emotions burst out and then sublimate.
John is not an ordinary viewer, he sees a lot of things from the movie, and every bit surprises him.
The black car, which has been eye-catching from beginning to end, is quietly parked on the last chaotic dock, looking at the giant ship in the distance.
At that moment, Olivia in the movie burst into tears, and John also felt the urge to cry.
It was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
He has always been washed by Hollywood's so-called big-budget blockbusters, and he criticizes, curses, and despises with caustic language, just because he hasn't seen the movies that make him happy.
John was a good boy, right?
At the end of the hour-and-forty-five-minute film, the few audience members in the cinema stood up and talked about what they understood or didn't.
John sat down, listened to the soundtrack at the end of the credits, and then stood up.
He was now full of the plot of the movie, some of the midnight commotion had disappeared without a trace, and he suddenly didn't want to go to his lover, he just wanted to write something, for this movie called "Lover".
John checked the Internet on his mobile phone and was surprised to find that the director of the film was not from France as he thought, and he didn't even have anything to do with France.
He is from Huaxia, and he is the hero of the movie, the elegant oriental gentleman who impresses people.
At such a young age, he can make such a movie.
John thought for a moment a lot of compliments and gimmicks to be used in his article, and he looked up the information according to the director's name, and then was surprised again.
This Chinese director is very famous in his country and is a famous talent and idol.
There's a lot more to write about now.
A good film that has been buried, a director who is about to rise...
John thought in his head, and then the rescue team came, and the voice on the phone was a middle-aged man with a tired face.
"Sorry sir, I've kept you waiting.."
The man hurriedly apologized as soon as he came, but John just smiled and even bought hot coffee for a few hard-working maintenance workers.
The car was repaired, and John called his lover and made up a reason that he might not be able to go tonight.
By the time he got home, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and his wife woke up from his bed and asked him where he had gone.
John stepped forward and kissed his wife's forehead, smiled and said, "It's nothing, I can't sleep, I went out to watch a midnight movie.."
John thought for a moment and added, "A really good midnight movie. ”
