A few minutes before "Life of Pi" was ready to start screening, many film critics and studio executives continued to chat and chat, seemingly not taking this "bad movie" seriously.

But when the familiar opening appeared, the roar of the pirate ship with fangs in the sky immediately shook the entire theater, and many people were taken aback, especially the six high-level executives who were about to watch Li Xiaole's jokes in the front row, all of them were shocked by the huge sound, and several people even scolded in a low voice: "Why is it so loud?" ”

Yes, this is Li Xiaole's adjusted stereo, he deliberately gave these people a dismissal, and now no one talks to each other anymore, they can only stare at the screen with anger, trying to find out where they can vent, Li Xiaole saw this scene, and couldn't help but show a smile like a prank success.

Tom Cruise, who was next to him, muttered nervously to Wagner: "The first few minutes are the most important, and we will know immediately whether there is a scene in this film." ”

At the beginning of the movie, the first thing people felt was not the beautiful and virtuous picture, but in the mellow and bright zoo picture, accompanied by the humming of the Indian female voice, the heavenly song floated but not floating, light but not empty, giving people a calm force, the animals were walking leisurely in their respective territories, leisurely, moving~~~

Almost at this moment, a strange thought arose in everyone's hearts, wow, this is really a good movie......

The people on the scene are different from ordinary audiences, everyone is a big connoisseur of movies, for them, whether the movie can move them is not the picture, not the actors, not the plot, but the emotions in the movie, for those who sit in the seats in the dark, the presentation of the story on the glowing screen The movie is an emotional journey, maybe the plot and characters will be impressive, but in many cases, when you see the first sight of the picture, in fact, emotion and intuition are at work.

No one can tell what it is, but this emotion is so inadvertently spread on the screen, it is very strange, everyone feels like watching the scene of the quiet coast of Sicily in "Cinema Paradiso", and it only takes a moment to isolate them from the real world and slowly step into the journey of this screen.

Cork and Canon glanced at each other in unison, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, Li Xiaole's movie obviously completely exceeded their imagination......

Li Xiaole, the captain, just hummed softly, as if he sounded the horn of this green voyage, and the pirate ship with teeth and claws prostrate on the ground, humbly welcoming the new passengers who went to sea this time.

Following the languid serene chants, the guests aboard the ship were easily pulled into the same lazy Indian afternoon......

The whispered memories of the Indian man began to ring in people's ears, and everyone slowly returned to his carefree childhood with him, leisurely and gentle, making people mistakenly think that this was the emotional story of warm nephrite.

Li Xiaole, this name is naturally associated with comedy, business, and even horror for everyone, and it is difficult for people to think of words like art and culture to describe him, but this time everyone's impression has been broken.

Almost everyone fell into the world that emitted a faint white light, no applause, no surprise, only indulgence in the tranquility of that moment.

"It's an Oscar-caliber movie." Wagner sighed softly from her seat, she didn't expect the finished film, which had been made only a week earlier, to be so good, and the graphics and music were so intoxicating.

"I think we're going to be finished...... Tom Cruise didn't think so, he looked at the audience who looked like wooden people and didn't react, and couldn't help but muttered in despair: "It's all over, there's no hope left...... "A movie that looks unresponsive must have no hope at the box office...... The Oscars can't save Black Pearl.

On the screen, Emma Watson, a teenage writer, says to the middle-aged faction: "He said that listening to your story will make me believe in the existence of God." ”

"According to him, eating a good meal can also make people believe in God." The middle-aged Pie smiled and said, "As for whether you believe in God or not, I am only responsible for telling the story, and it is up to you to decide whether you believe it or not." ”

Like all easy-to-understand American movies, in the opening five minutes, a character will say the theme of this journey, and the theme of tonight's journey is - "Do you believe in God?" ”

This surprised many film critics, because Li Xiaole chose an extremely difficult theme at the beginning - "faith"

This is a theme that almost all mainstream films try to avoid, because even the most clever directors can't describe the meaning of faith, because faith itself is something that can be believed without evidence......

A film that depicts the true meaning of faith? It's really peculiar, and everyone suddenly realizes at this moment that this is probably a movie they have never seen before.

When we are young and ignorant, we are like the "pie" of the young on the screen, we grew up listening to fairy tales and legends, believing that there is a god in this world, he rules the good and evil in the world, so that the good people in this world are well fed, and the evil people are punished.

Good deeds are rewarded, and this is the truth that all God has told the world.

The "pie" on the screen also believes that he simply believes that if he treats others kindly, he will definitely get the response he wants, and he is even willing to believe in all the "gods" in this world.

He did not know who was the largest number of gods in India or the population of Mumbai, and he would rush to the church to question the reason why Jesus Christ created man, nor could he figure out the place of worship of Allah.

But in Pai's innocent eyes, the look on every god is the same, and he believes in "gods", regardless of their background or where they come from, as he said, "Faith is like a house, it can have many rooms." ”

Looking at the Indian teenager on the screen, everyone turned back to their childhood with time, remembering that they used to be the same as the stupid "pie", once looked at this world with pure eyes, full of kindness and beauty, at that time we believed in all fairy tales, believed that this world was clear between good and evil, although naïve, although naïve, but such a childhood, but it was so carefree and full of freshness......

Would they still be willing to go back to that time if they could......? Everyone was thinking about this and starting to follow Pai's life to think about things beyond imagination.

And just like in real life, the on-screen Pie didn't continue to maintain this innocence for long, because his father worshiped another arrogant and xenophobic "god" - science.

In order to teach his children not to be deceived by "religion", he asked Pie, who wanted to communicate with the tiger in the zoo, to see the cruelty of the beast with his own eyes, and the Bengal tiger named Richard Parker appeared, devoured a goat in front of him, and shook the innocence of "Pie" in his heart.

Where is God at this time?

Everyone can't help but think of when they really saw the "cruel" side of life, and began to realize that there is no "good and evil reward" in their childhood stories in this world, and this reality world is just a jungle of survival of the fittest.

The movie is very calm now, but everyone knows that behind the calm, there are twists and turns, because the real protagonist of this movie, the Bengal tiger, has not really stood on the stage.

In the dark light, Lei Ting couldn't help but whisper to Li Xiaole in her seat: "Your actor is about to appear, right?" Now this plot is a little too bland, I see how much box office this movie can get, it depends on whether you, the leading actor, are brilliant or not. For Sura Shama, a newcomer, everyone has little hope, but the tiger "played" by Li Xiaole is very exciting.

With Gollum Jewel from The Lord of the Rings in front of you, it's no surprise that a virtual character is the best character in the movie.

"I'm not the hero." Li Xiaole smiled and shook his head: "Now the actor hasn't appeared yet." ”

"Haven't played yet?" Lei Ting was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't understand what Li Xiaole meant, Sura Sharma had already appeared, and now all the actors have appeared, where is there any "actor". ”

Lei Ting hasn't read this original novel, and she doesn't know what the plot of Li Xiaole's strict secrecy is, so she can't help but start fantasizing about the next story......

While Lei Ting was thinking wildly, the plot on the screen suddenly changed from the warm narrative in the first half, and a sudden shipwreck happened~~

In the "Lancastria" bound for Canada calmly driving in the Indian Ocean under the sunset, people saw the thick and oppressive black clouds not far away covering the sky and the sun, almost in a few seconds, the sky was as dark as the middle of the night, the black oppressive clouds roared dazzling electric light, and the majestic rainstorm hit the sky,

And the "Lancastria" like the Woolworth Building was swaying in the stormy seas, and everyone was shocked by the huge picture on the IMAX screen...... The film critics in the front row all opened their mouths wide, none of them thought that this gentle and warm literary film just now would suddenly bring people such a huge shock in terms of audio and video.

When the eighty-foot-long behemoth "Lancastria" was lifted by the waves and towered in the monstrous waves like a castle about to collapse, everyone held their breath~~
