Chapter 13: Laughing
Lin Youlun and Zhou Comin walked into the box on the second floor, only to find that it was even more luxurious than they imagined. Downstairs there were vague heads of people, and Golden Harvest had put a lot of effort into promoting the film, with a high attendance at the premiere, and of course a large part of the tickets were given to critics and reporters.
The music sounded, and the lights dimmed. The dark green curtain slowly opened to both sides, and the big screen illuminated by several beams of strong light became the focus of attention. After the opening of Golden Harvest Film Company, the list of the main creators of the film appeared one by one in the form of subtitles, and Lin Youlun's name was also listed.
The plot begins in a large house decorated with colorful lights, the audience first hears a noise of chirping, and then the camera turns to the house, where children of different sizes walk around the house, arguing and fighting from time to time. A policeman stood at the top of the stairs and tried to stop a man for questioning, but no one paid attention to him.
The family seemed to be going out of the house, and the hostess was in the bedroom while packing her luggage and making a phone call, when the younger son ran in.
As soon as this little guy appeared, people who had previously paid attention to the promotional poster of the movie immediately recognized him as the protagonist of the movie. Immediately the camera gave him a close-up, the little guy had a pair of big mischievous eyes, and the eyeballs flickered, like two shiny black gems. Whether it is a slightly upturned small nose, thin lips, or a slightly upturned small nose tip, it makes people feel innocent and cute.
When he complained to his mother that his uncle wouldn't let him watch the tape, the audience was amused by his performance.
"If your uncle won't let you watch it, it must be a bad movie." The mother's next answer was also hilarious, and someone in the audience began to laugh.
The picture returns to the staircase, Wu Mengda, who plays the policeman, stood for a long time, no matter which child he stopped, all he got from them was a ridiculous answer, and finally he got angry and took out a pistol and shot at the ceiling.
Everyone was frightened by the gunshot, Wu Mengda was very satisfied with the effect, but after a pause for a few seconds, everyone still did their own thing, and Wu Mengda was once again ignored gorgeously.
This bridge does not exist in the original play, Lin Youlun added this paragraph in order to make the film more nonsensical comedy style in Hong Kong, judging from the laughter of the audience, the effect is not bad.
At first, the audience regarded Wu Mengda as a real policeman, but as the plot unfolded, everyone found out that this guy was actually a thief, and he pretended to be a policeman to facilitate stepping on the rich people's homes.
When Wu Mengda smiled and shook hands with the male host, a shining gold tooth appeared in his mouth, and the sharp-eyed audience recognized him in advance as one of the two stupid thieves on the poster.
And the little protagonist of the film was locked in his room by his family because he was naughty at the dinner table, and the next day the family overslept and hurried to the airport.
The family got on a flight to France, and the little one woke up to find him alone. At this time, all the viewers were firmly attracted by the plot, and many people began to worry about a three-year-old child who was forgotten at home by careless parents, who would take care of his life?
"He's going to be fine, right?" Zhou Comemin was also immersed in the plot, and involuntarily clenched the corners of his clothes.
didn't wait for Lin Youlun to give an answer, and the performance of the little guy on the screen surprised everyone.
He ran around the room excitedly, cheering out of his mouth.
Without parental control, the little one begins to do whatever he wants at home. He ran into his brother's room, drew circles on his brother's treasured celebrity posters, and dug out his brother's private collection of pornographic magazines from under the bed. He pulled out the ice cream that his mother never let him eat more from the kitchen fridge, sat on the couch, and played the video that his uncle wouldn't let him watch. …,
Young audiences only think that this guy's reaction is very interesting, but the audience who is a little older can see some shadows of their own children from this naughty little guy, any child will have a naughty side when he is a child, and it is precisely by grasping this point that the plot of this movie unfolded, which resonated with many audiences.
The next plot is still full of jokes, the three-year-old child took his sister's pocket money to the store to buy something, and used the sound of gunfight movies to scare away the uncle who delivered the food.
The continuous pranks made the laughter that had been endured for a while begin to jump out of the audience's throat again.
The stupid thief played by Wu Mengda appeared again, this time there was an extra follower behind him, at first the audience didn't pay much attention to this guy, until the two of them finished stealing a house, before leaving, this guy actually used the stolen lipstick to leave the handwriting "Zhou Xingxing came here" on the wall of the living room of the master's house, and after writing, he laughed unbridled with both hands on his waist, and the cheap and rotten laughter suddenly made the audience remember this face, and also remembered the name Zhou Xingxing.
Lin Youlun stared at the big screen, the script he wrote did not arrange the scene of Zhou Xingchi laughing, obviously this was Zhou Xingchi's improvisation during the performance, but this laughter really made Lin Youlun feel very, very familiar, and even made him feel like a world away.
Zhou Comin's eyes kept staring at the big screen, and he didn't notice Lin Youlun's abnormality. At this time, the plot of the movie has gradually increased. Tide, Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi, the stupid thief duo, plan to ransack the little protagonist's home, and the three-year-old little protagonist after eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, set up a series of traps at home, and a wonderful and hilarious confrontation began.
In this scene, while maintaining the essence of the original play, Lin Youlun added a lot of new jokes, and he also modified the plot of the original play that did not match the local situation in Hong Kong. The story in the movie takes place at Christmas, influenced by the British colonial era, Hong Kong people are also keen to celebrate Christmas, but there is no snow in Hong Kong all year round, and the bridge section where the little protagonist splashes water and freezes on the steps at the gate and the stairs in the basement in the original play must not be used, so Lin Youlun changed the splashing of water to splashing oil.
Seeing Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi slipping and falling on the steps and falling dizzy, the audience's uncontrollable laughter was like waves crashing on the reef splashing around, hundreds of mouths opened almost at the same time, and Ha Lu laughed.
Zhou Comin laughed, and lay on the sofa and shouted "belch", but his eyes kept staring at the screen, for fear of missing the wonderful content below.
When Zhou Xingchi on the screen got up, took out his tools and began to pry the door, the laughter in the movie theater gradually subsided, but soon everyone couldn't hold it back. Zhou Xingchi, this guy pried the door hard for a long time and didn't open it, but in the end he found that the door was not locked at all. After entering the basement, he wanted to pull the lamp rope, but he didn't expect an electric iron to fall from the sky and smash directly into his face.
The theater erupted in laughter again, Zhou Comin's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, pointing to the screen Zhou Xingchi's iron-burned face, and laughing so much that he couldn't even speak.
It's not over here, Wu Mengda, who fell twice at the gate in succession, finally walked to the door with his hand on the railing, the little protagonist hung an electric soldering iron on the handle on the inside of the door, and the entire doorknob lock was burned red, and Wu Mengda's hand was immediately scalded to white smoke.
The audience in front of the screen was already laughing, but Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi's funny behavior continued, Zhou Xingchi's shoes were glued to the floor, and his bare feet stepped on the thumbtack. As soon as Wu Mengda entered the door, his hair was set on fire by a flamethrower, and he put his head into the fish tank before extinguishing the fire, and then turned into a bald head.
Many viewers held their stomachs with laughter, tears almost flowed out, and they watched Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda meet at the staircase on the screen, but they were slipped by glass marbles on the ground.
At this time, everyone was already laughing and almost out of strength, but the film had no intention of stopping. Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda scrambled to go up the stairs, and were smashed downstairs by the paint bucket hanging by the rope. The exposed wires were burned out by electricity.
In the cinema, you can only hear the sound of bursting beans, many audience members have laughed so much that they can't stand up straight, and can only hold on to the back of the chair in front of them with their hands, and many more people have lost their strength to laugh, leaning on their seats out of breath, gasping for air.
Although the movie has not yet been released, judging from the "laughing fruit" at the screening site, the film has been successful
