Verse 66: Laughing and crying
Thanks to the disappearance of the premiere, Duane is now a little popular in Nanyang, although there are not many people who know him again, but there are always a few, so for the sake of insurance, he also specially bought a peaked cap to wear, and lowered the brim to cover half of his face.
After I went to buy two glasses of Coke and a large bucket of popcorn, it was already past nine o'clock, and it was time to start checking in, and most of the people in the hall stood up and lined up to enter. Du An also blended in with Su Jin in the crowd and slowly paced inβhis ticket had already been bought in the afternoon.
After entering the viewing hall and settling down in his seat, Duane quietly looked around: there were still thirteen minutes before the beginning of the movie, but half of the audience in the theater was already seated, and there were still audiences coming in through the entrance, listening to the fat man who had seen in the hall before, probably the owner of the theater, and by the beginning of the movie at the latest, three hundred seats would be filled - yes, unlike Hall One, which had six hundred seats specially rented for the premiere, this is Hall Three, with only three hundred seats.
As it stands, it's much better than Saw back then.
He remembered that on the first day of the release of "Saw Horror", there seemed to be sixteen people in the entire theater, or seventeen?
After observing the audience, he looked at Su Jin next to him.
She was quietly smoking a Coke, staring at the ad on the screen.
As if sensing Duane's gaze, she looked over, put down the Coke in her hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of making a movie?"
Duane smiled and said, "You may not believe it, but that was when I first graduated." I couldn't find a job at that time, and then one day, I met an old classmate outside the talent market......"
The two chatted and chatted, and the lights in the hall suddenly went out.
The movie begins.
"Here we go. β
Duane said this, looked at the screen, and closed his mouth.
Regarding the success of the premiere, he heard it from Shu Yu's mouth, from Ning Hao's mouth, and from Zhu Qian's mouth this week, and he can only see with his own eyes now how the audience feels about this movie.
With the opening DreamWorks logo passing, the movie officially begins.
The little magic trick at the beginning is very flattering, and the long shots after that are very smooth, the lighting, the rhythm, the soundtrack, the actors' performances, all of them are very good, there seems to be nothing to say, and the audience's reaction also shows this qiΔ - the guys around who were still chatting before have their mouths shut up at the moment.
Duane frowned.
He saw a dissonance: at the very end of the whole pie scene, the extras in charge of playing the cello were smirking all the time, his hands were playing wildly, and at the last time his hands even left the strings and pressed on the body!
This scene is a group scene, he remembers that there are twenty or thirty extras used in this scene, he has never been in contact with group scenes before, he directed it at that time, even with Ning Hao's help, he was indeed a little in a hurry, but he didn't notice this, and he didn't even notice it in the later post-work, it was really a mistake.
Fortunately, the group performer who made a mistake was at the edge of the composition, in a blind spot, and the slightest mistake didn't make a difference - the reaction of the audience around him was the same, and no one but him noticed it.
Next came out of the room.
This is not the first time that Duane has seen himself on the big screen in the cinema - the first time was in "Saw", but unlike in "Saw Horror", this time he was dressed as Prince Charming on the big screen, which was also a novel experience for him.
It's handsome.
Duane looked at himself on the screen and gave him a score of 80.
The female audience in the theater also had a collective eye-catcher: so handsome!
On the screen, Chamberlain broke up with his current girlfriend on the phone, and even if he was at a banquet, he immediately went back to work, and suddenly created the image of a workaholic.
"Shanshan, I heard you're married?"
Next, Chamberlain met his ex-girlfriend at the banquet, and the two chatted.
The actor playing his ex-girlfriend showed his left hand with a ring on his ring finger: "yes, I can't always wait for you." β
"Hmm,"
Fang Bolun nodded, and suddenly said, "Shanshan, let me ask you something." β
"What's the matter?"
"When you were my girlfriend, did you talk to my secretary more than to me?" he obviously thought of his girlfriend who had just broken up complaining on the phone, saying that every time he called him, his secretary answered the phone, and he spent more time talking to his secretary than talking to him.
His ex-girlfriend looked at him and said seriously, "Your secretary later became my bridesmaid." β
Fang Bolun was speechless.
Seeing this scene, the theater suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, this guy is such a failure......" The girl sitting next to Duane said with a smile to her boyfriend, who was also smiling, "It's kind of interesting." β
Du An deliberately observed Su Jin, and by the light of the screen, he could see that the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she seemed to find it interesting.
Whew, success.
The film progresses slowly.
When the identity of Qi Wei's prostitute was revealed, there was a small commotion in the theater, apparently many viewers just came after seeing a random name in the newspaper, and did not know the specific character, so there was some resistance to the heroine of a film turned out to be a prostitute. But fortunately, Duane didn't see anyone leave, which was much better than the premiere - according to Ning Hao, when he saw that the heroine was a prostitute, several people left the premiere immediately.
Then there was no audience to worry about this problem anymore.
As the film unfolded, Qi Wei's personal charm came out little by little, and the viewing hall slowly quieted down, except for the sound of eating popcorn and the sound of the movie, Duane hardly heard any discussion.
And when the bathroom scene that Ning Hao called "sweet killer moves" began, the theater was even more silent.
Du An remembered Ning Hao's prompt, and deliberately stretched his neck to look around three hundred and sixty degrees, and found that these audience members were really just like Ning Hao said, all staring at the screen and smirking - there were about three hundred two fools.
Oh, no, it should be two hundred and ninety-eight two fools, he, a guy who doesn't like to watch movies, didn't smirk, and neither did Su Jin.
She just watched intently, her eyes glinting.
With the singing of "Hot Girl" sounding, the first little ** arrived. Qi Wei, who strolled through the streets of Hengdian, couldn't stop smiling, the clean and tidy streets of Hengdian, the streets full of dazzling luxury goods, and the fantastic light after post-commissioning, all made this Hengdian unbelievably beautiful, and the audience seemed to be in paradise.
"I really want to go to Hengdian......"
The girl beside Duane murmured softly, her eyes full of longing.
It's just that under him, a restless director, the good times are always short-lived.
Qi Wei wanted to go shopping for clothes, but because of her clothes, she was discriminated against and finally kicked out of the store, walking on the street with an expressionless face. Here, although she did not use tears to show sadness like in previous films, this restrained sadness was more intense, and successfully pulled down the feelings of all the audience in the viewing hall, and then the kind of free state of crying that was shown in the rivalry with the hotel manager Zhao Guoping detonated this kind of love all at once.
This is also the most satisfying scene for Duane during the whole filming process, this actress is really a genius.
"Maybe you need this?"
Du An took out the tissue he had prepared, took out one, and handed it to Su Jin.
He saw Su Jin's nose twitch twice.
"Thank you. β
Su Jin's voice was a little dry. She took the tissue, but it didn't work.
There are many girls like Su Jin in the audience, such as the one next to Duane - this female audience and her boyfriend should be old husbands and wives, and they don't care about anything, they wipe their eyes and blow their noses vigorously.
"Oh, don't ...... that"
Duane also heard a male audience member behind him lamenting softly.
Everyone is immersed in the world that the movie has constructed.
But Qi Wei's super loud blowing of her nose on the screen and the helpless expression of the hotel manager Zhao Guoping immediately made them all laugh lightly, and the chuckles were one after another.
Listening to these movements, Duane closed his eyes and took a deep breath, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
I really think about it, as Shu Yu said, the movie is another world, and he is the king of this world.
He makes the audience cry, the audience cries, he makes the audience laugh, the audience laughs, he controls the world.
He is the king of the world.
