Chapter 866: Lonely applause

Eliza is a leprechaun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After a friendly match with Mai Xiaoyu in the afternoon, he had a fierce battle in bed that night.

Mai Xiaoyu's act of trust in the afternoon won Eliza's sincere favor. Tonight's performance of extraordinary hard work, and took the initiative to unlock several new postures, and Mai Xiaoyu was almost defeated while being comfortable.

Fortunately, the man in Huaxia had the last laugh, but he also felt that his body was hollowed out.

"You're free from tomorrow, and I need to recharge. ”

On the spacious and comfortable bed, Mai Xiaoyu stroked Eliza's pink skin and gasped.

Eliza was also not happy, her whole body was sore and weak, and she was like mud in Mai Xiaoyu's arms: "Are you admitting defeat?"

"Admit defeat, do you want to fight again?" Mai Xiaoyu slapped her pink buttocks, "I'm going to the movies tomorrow, and then I'm going to go back to China." ”

"That compatriot of yours in the afternoon?"

"That's right. ”

"Would you like to take me with you? At the media screening, you need a beautiful female companion to support the scene, and I am very beautiful and temperamental, and I will not embarrass you. More importantly, I am yours. ”

Mai Xiaoyu tilted his head and looked at Eliza, who was close at hand: "What did you hear?"

"I've heard a lot, but you're communicating in Chinese, and I don't understand anything. Eliza changed her comfortable position and continued to bia on Mai Xiaoyu, "But I've seen that man, he is the owner of Hualong Pictures in the United States, and he respects you very much." ”

Speaking of which, there is no need for Mai Xiaoyu to deliberately hide his identity.

He rubbed Eliza's little cherry and said, "I'm sorry, but neither he nor I have enough influence in the European entertainment industry. ”

"Then can I go back to Huaxia with you, I'll follow you. You may not know that we have few Ukrainian men, and even fewer excellent men like you, you are really powerful. ”

I'm afraid that it is not only because Mai Xiaoyu is "powerful", but also because of his generosity and the respect that Shi Hao and Mbiwa have for him.

The power and temptation of money and power are not only reflected in some Chinese girls, but also in many foreign girls. Due to cultural and customary factors, the Chinese girls are relatively restrained, and the Western beauties who open the house do not have so many concerns.

On a strange street, if you come to talk to me in ordinary clothes, I may ignore you, but when you appear in front of me in a luxury car, even if I have coldly rejected you before, I will take the initiative to sit in your luxury car the next moment.

It's that straightforward.

Mai Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head.

Eliza asked, puzzled, "Why? Am I not pretty enough?"

"No, you're beautiful, but it's a pity you're not. ”

"Oh......"

Eliza took a bite of Mai Xiaoyu gently: "This is the most euphemistic excuse I have ever heard. But I'm really nostalgic for the beauty you've made me taste these days, and maybe I'll go back to Huaxia to find you in the future. ”

"Well, if you can find me. Mai Xiaoyu kissed her, "I'm sleepy, go to bed early." ”

……

21 May 2009.

Mai Xiaoyu took Ke Haoyi to a screening room in the Lumière Palace.

Yesterday evening, the sci-fi film "Inception" from China held a press conference, and today, "Inception" held a media preview at the Lumière Palace.

Shi Hao had already helped Mai Xiaoyu solve the small obstacle to admission, and Mai Xiaoyu showed the invitation letter as a film critic and entered the screening hall.

He came late, ten minutes before the start of the test screening, and sat down in the back corner.

It's a position he likes, and it's a position he doesn't have to choose.

Since it was a media test screening, the small screening hall was already full.

There are the main creative personnel of the "Inception" crew such as Yu Xiaoxing, Huang Bo, and Li Bingyu; there are senior executives of Hualong Pictures such as Shi Hao; there are representatives of several investors such as Hailian and Yingyi; some domestic directors and stars who have been invited to come; there are domestic and foreign media reporters; there are also some national filmmakers and film critics; and film distributors from many countries.

Don't look at the cold reception of "Inception" after the excitement some time ago, because all factors are not favored by the outside world, but this is a science fiction movie produced by cute people!

Representatives of investors are here to observe the reactions of the media, film critics and distributors from various countries. Whether the film can recoup its investment and make money depends mainly on overseas distribution.

Domestic and foreign media and film critics are looking for news materials, this is called the first real science fiction movie in China, what kind of surprise or complaint can it bring them, it will be revealed later.

Domestic directors basically come with the attitude of learning and reference. Regardless of the science fiction factor, the fame of Xiao Xing and the quality of cute products are still guaranteed.

Domestic stars mainly came to cheer, and some came to see the excitement, such as Fan Bingyi.

The competition between the two ices is no less than the grudge entanglement between Britain and France.

"Very Perfect" and "Inception" are both exhibited in Cannes and are not competing for awards. However, Fan Bingyi is only the second female in "Very Perfect", and recently it was revealed that she is not compatible with the international chapter of the leading actor and producer, while Li Bingyu is the first female in "Inception", which is highly praised by the crew.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, there have been domestic media comparing the two with hype. Previously, "Inception" was taken care of by the "French Film Cannes Special Edition", and Li Bingyan was beautiful when he walked the red carpet;

Today's media preview of "Inception" is related to the film's reputation and the possibility of overseas distribution, and Fan Bingyu naturally wants to take a look.

If the film is really as judged by overseas distributors before, she is generally not optimistic about this sci-fi movie, she can also care about her "good sister" Li Bingyu.

As far as Fan Bingyi is concerned, she is not optimistic about this movie.

Didn't you see today's media test screenings, and there were no foreign filmmakers?

But...... Why are there so many publishers?

Why else, because this is a sci-fi movie created by cute people!

What is the saying?

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it.

Foreigners have never heard of the wise sayings left by the ancestors of China, but it does not prevent them from doing things according to this clear saying.

"This Man is from Earth", which was produced with an investment of 20,000 or 200,000 US dollars, is still vividly visible at the global box office, and before watching "Inception" with his own eyes, who dares to say that this movie must not work?

I was not optimistic about it before, but I still have to see it with my own eyes before making a final decision.

After Mai Xiaoyu arrived, he didn't alarm anyone, and sat quietly in the corner of the last row, waiting for the test screening to open.

There were quite a few people sitting around, and he was inconspicuous.

There were a few foreign film critics sitting in front of them, talking about "The Antichrist", which was released two days ago. The film is so controversial that even if it doesn't cost money to dredge, there are huge divisions among the critics.

There were several foreign distributors sitting next to them, chatting without a word about the global film situation in the past two years, the films at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and so on.

No one talks about "Inception", and there is no such thing as how critics and distributors belittle "Inception" before the opening of the test screening, which is the most basic interest of the occasion. Of course, there is no possibility of belittling before the screening and touting this kind of pretending to be slapped in the face after the screening.

It's just that when Mai Xiaoyu sat down next to them, a few foreigners glanced at him. Because all the people sitting here are Westerners, Mai Xiaoyu, an Oriental with yellow skin and black eyes, looks out of place.

Mai Xiaoyu ignored them, and they didn't communicate with him.

A few minutes later, the media preview begins, the short routine is over, and the film is officially screened.

At the beginning of the movie, it is the usual opening logo of cute film and television, and with the villain sitting on the moon flicking the fishing rod, the title "Inception" was "fished".

The four-character title is displayed in front of the audience in a very sci-fi way, and there is a line of "Inception" in English below.

This time to Cannes, Xiao Xing brought two editions of "Inception", one is the Chinese version and the other is the citation version. Today's media test screening chose the Chinese version, with English subtitles under the Chinese dialogue.

The movie begins, with waves crashing over the reef on the shore.

Huang Bo, who was lying on the beach, was awakened by the sea water from hunger, thirst and fatigue. He slowly raised his head and vaguely saw two children, a man and a woman, playing in the sand on the beach.

He was taken to an ancient castle and met a dying old man.

He was treated well, and the old man provided food.

However, when the old man asked, "Are you here to kill me?", Huang Bo stopped eating.

"I know what it is. The old man's hand removed the gun from Huang Bo's body, picked up a small spinning top, and turned it.

"A long, long time ago, I saw it in a man. We met in a dream, and I can't remember that dream exactly," the old man continued, "and the man's head was full of radical ideas......

Huang Bo had food scraps stuck to the corners of his mouth, and he raised his head, revealing a complicated expression.

"What is the most powerful parasite?"

The screen switches, and it is no longer an ancient castle, but a Japanese-style room.

Huang Bo, who was wolfing up and showing embarrassment in the original shot, became high-spirited.

"Is it a bacteria, is it a virus, is it an intestinal worm?"

"I have an idea, tenacity is extremely contagious. Once an idea is formed in your head, it is almost impossible to erase. As long as the idea is fully understood, it will be deeply rooted there, somewhere in the brain. ”

"And people like you are here to steal?"

At the table, the host who was eating asked......

A simple beginning, without any big scene shock. Through montage-style shooting techniques, remembering the constant changes of the scene and the dialogue of the actors, the audience at the scene can experience the difference between reality and dreams, and understand why the film is called "Inception".

From the beginning of the movie, director Yu Xiaoxing used the means of quick editing to sprinkle a string of ecstasy on the audience, showing two layers of dream world. Reality and fantasy are closely intertwined, and it is dazzling to watch.

The directors, celebrities, reporters, film critics, distributors, etc. present are almost all gluttons in the film industry. He has his own unique views on each movie, and he also has his own judgment and analysis of the director's shooting techniques.

But "Inception" ......

In the small screening hall, in addition to the various sounds on the big screen, the audience was quiet.

As the plot progresses, time passes minute by minute, and more than two hours pass quietly like a white horse.

Everyone's eyes, everyone's nerves, everyone's minds, everyone's brain circuits, all follow the movie, follow the plot, and almost everyone opens their eyes wide, frowns, and is immersed in the film.

And then the egg!

When the movie was played at the end, Huang Bo returned home, immediately turned the top, and then saw the backs of the two children again, and his expression became solemn......

The audience's brows furrowed even tighter.

When the movie ended, the lights in the screening room came on, and the audience did not react at all.

Unlike other movies, you either applaud or complain, in short, you will express your opinion after the movie is played.

But "Inception" did not.

The main creative personnel such as Xiao Xing, Huang Bo, and Li Bingyu looked at each other, Shi Hao and other executives of Hualong Pictures were confused, and representatives of investors such as Hailian and Yingyi were in a heavy mood.

When the English ending song ended, there was silence in the screening room.

The people present were divided into two parts, one with a puzzled expression on his face, and the other with a frown on his brow.

Well, there are only two exceptions.

One is Mai Xiaoyu, with a relaxed and leisurely expression, and the other is his bodyguard Ke Haoyi, yawning boredly.

Silent!

It's embarrassing!

After a while, Xiao Xiaoxing, as the director, walked to the front of the stage: "Ladies and gentlemen, this movie ......"

This is one of the opening sentences he learned specifically to present at the Cannes Film Festival for "Inception".

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a foreigner with a big nose and blond curly hair.

This is a European film critic.

"Mr. Sun, how many layers of dream world are represented in this film?"

Xiao Xing didn't understand, and subconsciously looked at the translator beside him.

However, before the translator could speak, a French film magazine reporter spoke first: "Three layers, regardless of the real world. ”

"You must have missed it, it should be the fourth floor. ”

"How do I think it's two floors?"

"The dilapidated inn is the first floor, and the theft of trade secrets from the tycoon's house is the second floor. ”

"The snowy mountains are the third layer, and the empty city should be the fourth layer. ”

"Really?"

"Absolutely, I take it seriously. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you neglected the limbo? ”

"Are there so many? Oh, my mind is a little messy. ”

"Damn, it didn't take long for the movie to start and my mind was messed up. The thugs surging in the first dream, the protagonist's wife who suddenly appears as a killer in the second dream, and the moving car roaring past in the real world. The three scenes intersected so quickly that I was dizzy, and it was only later that I could distinguish between dream and reality. ”

"Are you sure you can tell?"

"Isn't it?"

"Did the protagonist return to reality at the end?"

"Isn't it?"

"Man, you're ignoring the top, it's still spinning. ”

"Oh shit, damn spinning top!"

"I think it's even more damn this movie, why is it English subtitles and not English dialogue, I missed a lot of wonderful shots in order to see those subtitles!"

"Who's to say it isn't, I don't think I even fully understood the movie!"

……

Bang Bang Bang!

The applause, lonely and abrupt, rang out from the corner of the back row......
