Chapter 312, The Most Luxurious Acknowledgments
"Love True" was already being promoted before filming started, and it was just a simple text promotion at that time, and even the poster only had the words "Love True" on it; Some time after the filming of the movie started, a makeup photo of the protagonist appeared on the poster; Three days before the release, some small films began to be broadcast during ATV's advertising time.
Compared with other movies, this film has very little promotional content and very little money spent on publicity, but after experiencing the last year's New Year's film "Party A and Party B", Phoenix Culture's New Year's film has been very valued by the audience, and the gimmick of "Phoenix Culture's Dedication" alone is enough to attract most of the audience.
"Whenever I am worried about the world, I think of the scene in the arrival hall of Kai Tak Airport. Almost everyone thinks that the world is full of hatred and greed, but I don't agree with that; In my opinion, love in any corner may not be noble enough, or not worth mentioning, but it will always be there, father and son, mother and daughter, husband and wife, brothers and sisters, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends......
When you are frightened or in pain, you always call your mother, instead of hitting your bad classmates when you were a child; When you are in danger, when you are helpless or hopeless, what you can think of must not be revenge or hatred, but the person you want to love, family, friends, etc.
If you experience it carefully and look for it, you will find that true love is everywhere! ”
With a specially edited background of various hugs outside the arrival gate of Kai Tak Airport, this passage makes people feel even more moved when they listen to it, and the content of the movie has not yet officially started. The audience has already determined that this is indeed a film worth watching.
After a touching narration. The film begins with the theme of the story, but this film is different from other films, it is composed of ten seemingly unrelated stories, but they are connected by a main thread, and finally highlight the theme of "true love is everywhere".
The film begins with a shot in the studio of an outdated rock singer who covers an old Caveman song "True Love Everywhere" into a rock 'n' roll, hoping to find the second spring of his career. For the future English version of the film, in this story. Mo Fei did not use the theme of same-sex agents, but replaced the agent of rock singer Yongjiang with Xu Anhua.
Then appeared the writer played by Zhang Guorong, who was ready to go out and expressed his love to his girlfriend many times, but he didn't know, and the audience wouldn't know, that the writer's classmates' heads would soon be colored.
The billionaire played by Zhou Yunfa has just bought a rival company and is going to work in a new office building. met a female secretary Ye Qianwen, who also just arrived at the company, and the rich man seemed to fall in love with this female secretary at first sight.
In the scene of Zhou Runfa with a big back, he was specially equipped with a prop - black-framed glasses, which should be the first time in a Hong Kong movie that a shot imitating Li Chaoman appeared, and this somewhat spoofed picture did cause laughter in the audience.
Liu Songren, a new widower who calls a friend, is extremely lonely; Huang Qiusheng, the assistant chef who expresses his love to every woman in the restaurant, does not let go of the male partner who has just left the girl. And in the subsequent episodes. The audience will find out that Xiao Fangfang, the widower's friend on the phone, is the sister of the wealthy Zhou Yanfa, and the little son left by his deceased wife and his ex-husband is secretly in love with Wu Mengda's daughter, and the girl Fu Yiwei, who was helped by the cook, is the secretary and future lover of the wealthy businessman's brother-in-law Wu Mengda.
There's a wedding going on in the church. The best man serves as the wife of a friend, that is, the crush of the bride. His face was full of taste, but he had to force himself to make a "congratulations" expression, and he had to hold back his sadness and arrange various surprises for his goddess.
In the studio on the set, Wu Zhenyu and Xia Wenxi, the naked substitute actors and actresses, were simulating the on the edge of the pillar, while chatting about whether there was a traffic jam on the way to the set today, and the Star Ferry crossing the sea didn't know when the price would rise.
Ten minutes or so is nothing for a movie that is more than two hours long, and after a seemingly chaotic explanation of the identity of each protagonist of the story, the plot of the movie begins.
At the wedding, the photographer friend who had a crush on the bride complained to the bridesmaids around him that he didn't know who chose the bad music, and he didn't forget to give all the shots to his goddess.
After burying his wife, the widower began to learn how to be a good stepfather, raise the child left by his wife who was not related to him at all, and teach him how to pick up girls.
When the writer returned home, he found a strange man who claimed to be here to borrow a videotape and was recommending it to the other party, but he heard that his girlfriend in the back room did not tell him that he had been waiting for his favor in vain, and that he should have a good time before his boyfriend came back.
The rich man flirted with Piers Brosnan, the president of the foreign capital consortium, because he misunderstood his secretary, and he rebelled at the press conference of the cooperation between the two companies, saying that he would not let the other party take any advantage, but he unexpectedly became a representative of Chinese and foreign capital, and was respected and supported by shareholders and investors, and the company's stock began to soar the next day, but the secretary resigned and left because of a misunderstanding.
The rich man's brother-in-law Wu Mengda not only flirted with his secretary, but also assumed the role of the old man under the moon between the male and female employees of the company, trying to match Guan Zhilin and Liang Chaowei, the designers, of course, the effect is not ordinarily good.
Wu Zhenyu and Xia Wenxi, the naked substitute men and women, finally want to get on the horse with real knives and guns; Writer Zhang Guorong temporarily left the sad place of Hong Kong and went to the warm spring of Myanmar to worship Buddha on vacation and continue his writing by the way; Huang Qiusheng felt that the girl in Hong Kong was not suitable for him, bought a big backpack of condoms, sold his house, and went to Japan to find a girl who really loved him.
At this point, everything seems to be going more chaotic in reverse, and the situation has gotten worse, and if it continues like this, the film will undoubtedly be a super bad movie. But the audience knows that Phoenix Culture will not produce bad movies, and there must be a plot that will make the whole movie more exciting.
That's true, first of all, the two designers began to date. It's just that there is an obstacle between them, designer Guan Zhilin has a mentally ill younger brother Zhou Xingchi. There will always be sabotage at critical times.
Photographer Lin Wei found the videotape of the goddess full of lenses, and the goddess and he were embarrassed, which is not good; The rock singer did publicity on radio and television, but everyone said that his adaptation of "Spring Everywhere" was a super bad song, and he himself was a little broken; The writer met a girl who served as a butler in Burma, and would chase his blown manuscripts around in the gale, regardless of the danger, but the girl eventually left; The rich man's sister found the necklace in her husband's pocket when the Spring Festival was approaching. But her husband gave her a record......
The plot is getting more and more abusive, except for the father and son who are not related by blood, they are very happy, and Huang Qiusheng found a gentle and kind sister in Japan, and the situation of the others is not very good, but the more this is the case, the more a satisfactory explanation must be made at the end of the movie, otherwise this must be a bad movie. Super bad movie.
Time in the movie world is faster than flying, more than an hour, it has been from five weeks before the Spring Festival to the end of the year, there are still two days before the Spring Festival, and the climax of the story will follow, the New Year's film. When it comes to the second lunar month, it is not appropriate.
The love between the two designers finally came to an end, Guan Zhilin's mentally ill brother became a big obstacle to her enjoyment of love, and finally took the courage to show Liang Chaowei on this day, the younger brother is more important than love. But isn't this also an expression of love?
Lin Wei finally played a good guy in the movie, and he was a very touching good guy. took a tape recorder to the door of his friend Chen Baixiang's house, expressed his love with words and music on the cardboard, and ended his crush from then on, and began to find a girl of his own, the goddess kissed lightly on the forehead, which was also an additional reward for this crush.
After the writer Zhang Guorong returned to Hong Kong, he could not forget the girl who chased the manuscript in the wind, and when the Spring Festival was approaching, he finally learned simple Burmese, he wanted to find the girl before the Spring Festival, and then compose a sincere and great love, and the result was of course satisfactory.
The soundtrack of this section is Zhang Xueyou's "True Love", a song that should not appear in ten years, and finally became the first "future track" that Zhang Xueyou is allowed to sing.
On this night, the wealthy Zhou Runfa finally saw the card left by the secretary, which briefly recounted the truth of "being molested" that day, and also expressed his heart. At this time, the rich man can already be sure that it will be a great pity if he does not find the woman he loves right away. So he found a driver and a convoy, went to the low-income housing area where the secretary temporarily lived to find people door-to-door, and caught his little secretary before the secretary's family was going to the school to participate in the performance, and then the two kissed behind the curtain and were accidentally broadcast live to the audience.
The two naked actors went home from work, passed by the school where the party was being held, saw the live broadcast of the rich man and the secretary kissing, confessed their love to each other under the stimulus, and returned to the home of one of the two of them holding hands.
The outdated rock star Yongjiang finally unexpectedly won the latest sales championship through an adapted so-called bad song, and also got the support of more fans.
The rich man's sister is a typical representative of women, strong and resilient, who took the initiative to uncover the affair in front of her husband, but in front of her children, she still has to keep enough smiles and joy, and the husband looks at his wife and finally feels that he has done something wrong.
Liu Songren's stepson finally got the opportunity to perform on the same stage with the girl he had a crush, but the girl was about to leave Hong Kong after the performance, and his stepfather Liu Songren chased him to the airport after the performance in order not to disappoint his son.
And Liu Songren, another parent of a student who met at the school performance party, also followed Liu Songren and his son to the airport, and the two helped the boy evade the security guards and rushed into the airport to confess to the girl he had a crush, but found that the original family had already known his name and gave him a hug.
Everything was so good, another week later, still at the airport, but the scene was changed to outside the entry lane.
Huang Qiusheng returned to Hong Kong with a Japanese girl, and also brought back one to Zhang Xueyou, who was skeptical at the beginning; Zhang Guorong returned to Hong Kong from Myanmar with Bonami, ready to start a good life; Wu Mengda and Xiao Fangfang, a husband and wife, also returned to Hong Kong from the United States with their children, Liu Songren, his son and a new girlfriend came to pick up the airport, and the two little guys were secretly in love; Billionaire Chow Yunfa returned to Hong Kong after negotiations with the American consortium and hugged his secretary's girlfriend affectionately at the arrival hall......
Next, the people in the arrival hall began to hug the people around them, including family, friends, and so on. The hugging shots in the picture have also changed from one to ten, hundred, thousand......
In the original version of "True Love Everywhere" by the Cavemen, the lights in the theater lobby are turned on, but the audience has no intention of leaving.
Most of the audience at the premiere were professional and more picky, but none of them were not infected by this movie, and they all stood up and began to applaud this warm movie.
The creators and actors in the front row also stood up to bow to the audience and thanked them, and this time, more than 70% of Hong Kong's popular stars were thanked, and the media called the largest lineup and the most luxurious thanks in the history of Hong Kong films.
