Chapter 22: The curtain opens
Walking into the screening hall, Li Wei swept around and found that there were not many audiences, and the attendance rate did not exceed 20%, but he was not worried, he believed that "The Killer's Tragedy" was enough to impress kung fu fans, maybe this film has no artistic value, but the action design is completely from the later twenty or thirty years, which is absolutely unique, and he thinks that even if Xiangjiang films of the same type can't shoot his action effect.

Moreover, today is only Friday, and the total box office of the three days over the weekend is the final data for the new line to evaluate the potential of "Killer Tragedy".
Li Wei is not in a hurry.
He and Sister Lai sat in the back row, so that they could see the audience's reaction more clearly.
At this time, there were still ten minutes before the opening, and from time to time there were audience members who walked in, most of them went to the front row, and there was only a white woman with glasses sitting near Li Wei, she sat next to the aisle, and after a while, a strong black figure walked beside her, she seemed to have met an acquaintance, she seemed very excited, and immediately said: "Hi, Mr. Bossy, what an honor to meet you!" ”
The black man looked down, no longer looking for his seat, sat down next to the white woman, then stretched out his right hand, smiled and said, "Ms. Amy, you Los Angeles Times shouldn't be paying attention to Tim. Burton's work, "Batman" directed by him last year got a global box office of 500 million US dollars, and he has shocked the world! ”
"I had already watched it at the test screening!" Amy speaks very quickly and articulates very clearly, she is a very talkative woman, "To be honest, 'Edward Scissorhands' is an amazing romance film, like a black fairy tale, full of fantasy imagination, Johnny. Depp is also great, he plays his role impeccably, he will definitely be popular all over the United States, by the way, Mr. Boscis, have you watched "Edward Scissorhands"? ”
"Yes, how could I have missed this classic, but I don't like tragedy!" Bosis shook his head.
Amy was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised her hand to the screen, "This action movie is also a tragedy, and its name is "Killer Tragedy"!" ”
"I know that!" "The other day there was an internal preview of the film, and one of my subordinates was invited to watch it, and he came back and told me something very unexpected, he said that there were a few guitar tunes in the film, all of them new, but very classic, and you know Ms. Amy, I work for Hollywood Records, which specializes in movie soundtracks, and it's my job to discover the classics, so I'm here," explains Bosis. ”
Amy's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said: "New Line Pictures also sent an invitation to the Los Angeles Times, but my boss refused to watch the screening, he concluded that it was a big bad movie, Mr. Bosies, I'm afraid you don't know it yet, the director and starring of this movie are all one person, and the guitar music you are going to listen to is also his own creation, oh God, he's either a juggler clown or a genius, it's unimaginable, he's only nineteen!" ”
"Nineteen?" Bosis was quite shocked, "I'm kind of looking forward to this movie Ms. Amy!" ”
Li Wei was separated from them by more than a dozen seats, and he couldn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, he was lying in Sister Lai's ear at this time and telling jokes, he decided to fall in love, and he was ready to confess to Sister Lai on his birthday.
……
……
"The Killer's Tragedy" was officially screened.
The screen slowly lit up, and the first thing that appeared was the opening of New Line Pictures,
Then I went straight to the plot, without any subtitles introducing the cast and crew, and not even a single location transition.
The screening room fell silent for a moment, and the audience's attention was focused on the screen.
A dilapidated prison first appears in the frame, with a Mexican flag standing on it, explaining where the story took place.
The camera goes straight to the prison gate, all the way through the passageway, and into an office. James' prison guard boss is sitting at an office desk reading a pornographic magazine when the phone rings.
He picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and a deep male voice rang: "I don't want him to live anymore, Franco!" ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Moko, I will personally send him to Satan!"
The head of the prison guard put down the phone, closed the magazine vigorously, left the desk, put on his helmet, grabbed the baton, and a close-up of a guitar case appeared next to him, and as he entered the prison passage, one after another heavily armed prison guards followed him.
Music plays in the background.
The guards made their way to the small black room, and when the door opened, there was silence, revealing a prisoner hanging upside down in iron chains, and the guards swarmed in.
The head of the prison guard knocked his palm with a baton, walked towards the prisoner with a sneer, and just walked up to the prisoner, the prisoner's eyes suddenly opened, his head was half a meter away, and he directly hit the head of the prison guard.
The fight unfolded in an instant.
It's a fiery scene that lasts three minutes, and Binge, the killer played by Li Wei, easily knocks out ten prison guards.
As soon as the picture ended, the screening room was in a commotion, with the young audience whistling and clapping, and the strange screams of the chist.
"Oh my God, he's cool, he's better than Bruce. Lee is even more powerful! ”
"His kung fu is so beautiful, I've never seen such beautiful martial arts moves, how did he do it!"
"He made a 360-degree spin in mid-air with one foot wrapped around the chain, is he a gymnast?"
……
The movie continues, the killer Binger leaves the small dark room, walks into the office of the head of the prison guard, picks up the guitar case in the corner, and is about to leave when the phone rings again, he puts the phone on his face, and the deep male voice appears again: "Is he dead?" ”
Bing replied coldly, "I'll go find you, Moko!" ”
"Accusative ......"
As soon as the phone hung up, Binger opened the guitar case, first hung a row of throwing knives around his waist, took out two short sticks, then put the guitar case on his back, and turned to leave the office.
There is an intense guitar sound in the background.
Binger ran all the way along the prison passage, the camera began to zoom out, he held a short stick to kill out of the prison, as long as he touched the prison guard on the way, it was a stick, as long as the prison guard was hit, he instantly lay on the ground, and the killing action was clean and neat.
When he fled to the prison square, the guards on the fence set up their guns and aimed them at him.
The guitar stopped suddenly.
Binger took out a throwing knife and threw it at the gunman, hitting the eyebrows directly, and after the gunman fell off the fence, the gunshots rang out, Binger began to run wildly in the rain of bullets, he threw out a throwing knife every time he ran, and the blow was hit, and there were seven or eight close-ups of gunpolice deaths in the camera.
Binger eventually managed to escape from the prison and ran through the streets outside the prison with a guitar case on his back.
The picture tends to darken, and this is when the title of the movie "Killer Tragedy" emerges.
The crisp sound of the guitar plays slowly.
The audience was no longer calm, and they roared, slapping the seats in the screening hall with a shocking sound, and the ghosts cried wolves as if they were enchanted.
"Who is this star? I love him to death! "It was clearly a woman's voice.
"I have to watch it again, it's so exciting!"
……
……
Bosis and Amy in the audience looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes, this is definitely an action movie that has never appeared in Hollywood film history, and the fighting scenes are so smooth that even people like them who only focus on art films have caught their appetite and are fascinated by this movie.
When the title of the film falls, the scene shifts to an empty wilderness, revealing a road, and a young man with a guitar case on his back slowly walks on the side of the road.
Once again, the audience boiled, "Isn't this the killer binge?" How does he dress like a hippie? ”
Next, there is the classic guitar song "theplazaofexecution" plagiarized by Li Wei.
Accompanied by music, the wandering singer Murphy appeared on the stage and slowly narrated his inner voice:
"That morning there was nothing new, no love, no blessings, no hitchhiking, I met a turtle, on the lonely highway, and I met unexpectedly, we are all weeds with the same disease, looking for a distant homeland in the wind, but I am in the wind and sand, lost the years, buried the ...... of time"
Li Wei saw this, suddenly a little embarrassed, he plagiarized a guitar song from "Zorro's Mask", he can clearly remember the music in the movie, but he is not a guitar master, he can only understand the score, and he can't imitate all of "theplazaofexecution", he can only roughly play the guitar music, and he doesn't know what the effect is.
In fact, he would prefer to use "Governor'sdeath" from "The Legend of Zorro", he likes this guitar song too much, but unfortunately this is composed by the British in the 70s, he can't copy it, and he can't afford to buy the copyright.
And "The Tragedy of the Killer" basically has no soundtrack, it is all guitar music plagiarized by Li Wei, and when he has money in the future, he decided to hire the man Lonely, this person is simply born for the soundtrack of the movie.
