Lin Zhiling also doesn't know how to evaluate Liang Jiahui's appearance in this movie, at this moment, she, like many audiences, has begun to be attracted by the plot of the film, and considering and evaluating this film has become a secondary matter.

Leong Ka Fai stands on the mast and looks into the distance, and the 17th-century Singapore Harbour comes into view.

After smashing the limelight, Leung jumps off the mast, and the audience thinks he'll land on the deck of a pirate ship, followed by a spectacular battle of pirates attacking Singapore.

It's a pity that everyone thought wrong, and as soon as the camera turned, Liang Jiahui landed on a poor boat, and the boat was still leaking.

Everyone is deceived by the camera's point of view, and this joyful treatment has a bit of nonsensical play, but also some Hollywood-style humor.

There was the first laugh in the screening room, but it wasn't over yet.

Under the watchful eyes of the busy laborers and ship owners in the port, a ship that was completely sunk into the water, with only the mast still exposed, could be parked on the dock, and Liang Jiahui, who was standing on the mast, walked gracefully onto the dock.

At this point, an even more dramatic scene occurred, when a port tax officer took one look at the sunken boat, and then walked over to Liang Jiahui to collect the ship docking tax.

When she saw this, even the reserved Lin Zhiling couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Liang Jiahui plays this pirate very interesting."

"It's too early to tell, right? Besides, Hong Kong audiences like it, overseas audiences don't necessarily buy it, the main market for this movie is still in North America, we don't even count whether it is successful or not, the box office has the final say! ”

The two film critics just now whispered in front of them again, hearing this. Lin Zhiling couldn't help but glance at Lin Youlun with some concern.

Lin Youlun tilted his head slightly to Lin Zhiling, and said in a low voice: "Miss Lin, we are here to watch a movie, not to eavesdrop on other people's speeches." ”

Lin Zhiling was suddenly embarrassed, scolded in her heart, "I don't know the hearts of good people", no longer cared about the whispers of the people around her, and concentrated on watching the movie.

Jack, a pirate captain played by Liang Jiahui, tries to rob the British Navy's sailboat, but is captured by the Navy and imprisoned for rescuing Kate Beckinsale, who accidentally fell overboard.

The pirate gold coin that Kate Beckinsale received from Brad Pitt led to a pirate siege, and she was captured by pirates in the chaos. Brad Pitt in order to rescue his sweetheart. He had to ask for help from Captain Jack, who was imprisoned, and eventually helped Jack escape from prison and cleverly hijacked a British Navy sailboat.

Kate Beckinsale was robbed by the Black Pearl pirates who betrayed Captain Jack, who fell under an ancient curse for greedily taking gold from a treasure and turned into immortal skeletons in the moonlight. The only way to lift the curse is to return all the gold coins, and the one in Kate Beckinsale's hand is the last one. So they took Kate Beckinsale to the treasure spot. Prepare to complete the most depraved ritual.

Captain Jack and the little blacksmith Brad Pitt arrived in time, and the two sides fought a fierce battle, and in the end, Captain Jack's side cleverly used the curse to win, in exchange for the freedom of the previous crew, Captain Jack took the initiative to let the British Navy arrest the arriving British Navy, and finally managed to escape on the execution ground. Pick up the Black Pearl and return to the free sea.

Walking out of the cinema, Lin Zhiling not only recalled the plot story just now, but also developed a strong interest in the theme music of the film.

The gloomy sound of the violin, the mournful sound of strings, the rapid beating of bells and drums, and the solemn mourning form form together form a surging sea epic. The music blends perfectly with the theme of the film, and the momentum is natural.

Like Lin Zhiling, many film critics have also noticed the soundtrack in "Pirates of Malacca", and more information about the author of this soundtrack has also been dug up by the media.

The soundtrack, titled "He's a Pirate," was written by a German violinist, who claimed in an interview that most of the inspiration for the music was provided to him by Mr. Lin.

"In fact, Mr. Lin Youlun was the first creator of this song, and he hummed the main rhythm of the song to me, on which I partially perfected, but after the music was completed, Mr. Lin refused to sign the song, and at that time he said that it should be my honor, which made me feel very ashamed."

The newspapers published the original words of the German violinist, but not too many people in Hong Kong were surprised by this, because Lin Youlun had proposed lyrics for many songs in his early years, and it has been rumored that several of Zhou Yimin's popular songs were composed by Lin Youlun, but he did not directly sign them.

Lin Zhiling has heard these rumors before, but she has never taken them seriously, and she has the impression that Lin Youlun is still more famous for writing novels and movie scripts, so she couldn't help but be a little surprised to see this news in the newspaper.

Surprised and surprised, Lin Zhiling quickly packed up her mood, sorted out all the newspapers that had collected about "Pirates of Malacca" and put them into a folder, and then pushed open the door of Lin Youlun's office.

Lin Youlun was very satisfied with Lin Zhiling's completion of the task he gave her in just one morning, he looked through these newspaper reviews, most of the content was read at a glance and ten lines, and only a few articles he would read carefully.

For example, at the moment he is holding a column from the "Oriental Daily" in his hand, the author wrote very unceremoniously when evaluating the movie "Pirates of Malacca": "It is undeniable that this is a very good movie, from the actors' performances to the plot special effects are above the level, the combination of handsome American guys and British beauties is very eye-catching, and Liang Jiahui's somewhat neurotic exaggerated performance is the biggest highlight of the film, but I regret to find that there is no trace of Hong Kong movies in this movie, It's exactly the model of a standard Hollywood commercial blockbuster...... As the only Hong Kong film investor who has achieved success in Hollywood, this may be a helpless compromise made by Lin Youlun for the sake of the box office of the film, I am not questioning Lin Youlun's approach, but I am feeling sad for Hong Kong films, when we use our own films to get the recognition of others, Hong Kong films can be regarded as real success in the world. ”

Lin Zhiling secretly glanced at the newspaper where Lin Youlun was injured, she had also read this column, this author's point of view does have some truth, but in general, it is still a bit of a picky egg.

After reading this column, Lin Youlun felt that the views in the later newspapers might be similar, so he didn't continue to read it.

Closing the folder in his hand, Lin Youlun looked at Lin Zhiling and asked, "Have you read all these articles?" ”

Lin Zhiling nodded.

"Any thoughts?"

"I think some people are just jealous, saying that this movie is not good, and they have the ability to make a better one themselves." Lin Zhiling has liked this movie since the last time she watched the test screening, and at this time, she naturally hugged the film.

"You can't say the same thing, the movie is made for people to watch, and it's normal for people to have different opinions about it, but some people criticize you with good intentions and hope that you will do better in the future, while some people like you say are out of jealousy or some other reason, and they grasp some side issues and nitpick. For the latter kind of people, my attitude has always been to ignore them, and the more they scold, the better the box office performance of the movie, I just like the madness and helplessness when they scold me hard but can't do anything to me...... When I say that, do you think I'm mentally wrong? ”

Lin Zhiling hesitated slightly, but nodded after the last.

Lin Youlun didn't expect Lin Zhiling to be so direct, so he quickly coughed to hide his embarrassment.

"By the way, is the ticket to the UK booked?"

knew that Lin Youlun was changing the topic, but Lin Zhiling had to follow his steps, because the matter of going to the UK was also arranged by Lin Youlun earlier.

Lin Zhiling opened the notebook she carried with her, and all of Lin Youlun's itinerary for the coming week was recorded on it.

"It's been booked, the plane will be at noon the day after tomorrow."

Lin Youlun nodded, and then instructed Lin Zhiling: "You may have to prepare a few more sets of clothes this time, because we will probably stay there for a while." ”

When Lin Youlun asked to book a ticket to Edinburgh, Scotland, Lin Zhiling had some suspicions, she felt that Lin Youlun should go to the UK this time to participate in the promotional activities of "Pirates of Malacca", but the news she received was that the publicity of "Pirates of Malacca" in Europe was arranged very tightly, and the promotion was only carried out in London in the UK, but Lin Youlun's destination was Ireland, which was not quite right in itself.

Now that Lin Youlun has said that he wants to stay in the UK for a while, Lin Zhiling instinctively realizes that this trip to the UK may not have much to do with "Pirates of Malacca".

seemed to see Lin Zhiling's hesitation, Lin Youlun took the initiative to explain to her: "I went to the UK to find someone, a woman who will be of great help to my future plans." ”

"Women?" Lin Zhiling seemed to know what she had said, and nodded thoughtfully.

In Lin Zhiling's opinion, Lin Youlun must have had an emotional entanglement with a woman, maybe the other party is still an Englishman, so he secretly hid people over there.

As soon as Lin Youlun saw Lin Zhiling's expression, she knew that she must have misunderstood what she meant, and the depression in her heart - could it be that her image in Lin Zhiling's heart has been so bad that casually mentioning a woman will make her feel that she has an improper relationship with the other party?
