451 Earn the tears of millions

"Brother Tiger, it seems that the effect is good, you see everyone is laughing. [No pop-up novel network]"

"The Story of Ah Lang" has been playing for more than 40 minutes, and cheerful laughter has sounded from time to time in the theater with a capacity of 1,000 people, which shows that his role as Ah Lang has basically been recognized by everyone at present, and there is no phenomenon of scolding and applauding, which makes Chow Yun-fat breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, don't forget that I added a lot of popular elements to it, if you take out those funny, motorcycles and other elements, this movie is a boring literary film." Wang Xiaohu smiled, patted Chow Yun-fat on the shoulder and said, "Don't look at how much they are laughing now, they will have to cry in a mess later!" ”

Chow Yun-fat grinned with satisfaction, the handsomeness on his face matched with this smile, it was particularly lethal, he hadn't seen literary films, as Wang Xiaohu said, after removing those eye-catching elements, this movie is not essentially different from other literary films, which can be seen from everyone's crazy cheering during the promotional activities. And these elements are like desserts before a meal, served little by little, seducing the audience to "eat" the **.

At that time, the broadcast of a movie was also divided into two parts, and after the upper part was played, there would be a break of about 3 minutes in the middle, mainly for the audience to go to the toilet, buy drinks and snacks, etc.

But today, the theater sells snacks and the like, and all the small vendors are selling paper towels back and forth, so that many viewers can't scratch their heads, and they say that this is a literary comedy, you should sell popcorn and other things, how can you sell paper towels?

More than 60% of people did not buy paper towels, and one small vendor was selling his business to a middle-aged woman next to him, "Sister, do you want to buy paper towels, three packs of one Hong Kong dollar, the whole theater is the cheapest in my place!" ”

"You're insane, can I buy a big roll for one Hong Kong dollar outside!" The middle-aged woman was obviously a housekeeper, rolled her eyes and waved her hand disdainfully and said, "Stay where it's cool!" ”

"Eldest sister, don't regret if you don't sell it, the price of this tissue will rise later, I may not sell a pack of Hong Kong dollars!"

The little trader snorted and left proudly, and there was a lot of discussion from the audience behind him.

"I think this kid is crazy and poor, a pack of tissues for one Hong Kong dollar, it's more money than robbing a bank!"

"Who says it's not, hey, today's children don't want to be motivated, a pack of only five or six tissues is sold for a Hong Kong dollar, unless the brain shows off, the ghost buys it." When the middle-aged woman saw the support, her voice became louder.

The peddler lifted his head and pretended not to hear.

No one will take the words of the peddlers to heart, and only treat them as angry words.

In the VIP room, Run Run Shaw hissed hot tea and said to Jin Yong: "Although his mouth is full of foul language, it is very in line with the characteristics of Hong Kong's local citizens, and it feels relatively warm. ”

Run Run Shaw said that it makes sense, Wang Xiaohu's style started from "Rocky", and then to "Ah Hu", it took this plain and warm narrative to the extreme, and now this "Ah Lang's Story" is also taking this route, the difference is that boxing and Muay Thai are gone, but the fashion elements of motorcycles are looming to pull up the whole line, which makes people have a strong sense of expectation.

And the half-memoirical, half-realistic editing technique also let everyone see how chic Ah Lang was when he was young, he was born with the gift of driving, because he lost love, lost his career because of indulgence, and finally worked on the construction site.

Jin Yong savored the plot, this film evoked too many emotions in him, the past was like the past clouds swirling in his mind, and after seeing through the scenery, he turned back and became realistic and settled, and began to think about the future.

Jin Yong was moved by the feelings of Ah Lang's father and son in the film, and the words Wang Xiaohu said also made him fall into contemplation, especially Ah Lang's sentence in the film, "People really can't do wrong things, and if they do wrong, they can't turn over for the rest of their lives." It touched his heartstrings even more.

As soon as 3 minutes passed, the next part of "Ah Lang's Story" began to be released, and the noisy theater immediately fell silent, and everyone returned to their seats to pay attention to the big screen.

In order to confirm Bozai's identity, ** found Ah Lang from the construction site, Ah Lang used a dilapidated motorcycle to carry ** through the streets and alleys that had witnessed their love and hatred, and a very nice melody sounded in the theater: "The black eyes and your smiling face, how can I never forget the change in your face, the fluttering old time just slipped away, and when I turned my head back to see, it had been several ......years in a hurry"

"Hey, what's the name of this song, listen to it." Long Zichen, who was sitting in another VIP room, suddenly said lightly: "Liyun, do you know? ”

Teresa Teng shook her head: "I haven't heard it, the tune is catchy, and with such a romantic picture, it is very appropriate!" ”

"Hmph, Ah Hu secretly wrote a new song this time, but he didn't tell me, I went back to settle accounts with him, and I had to get Lifeng Records to release anything." Long Zichen pouted and said angrily.

Teresa Teng smiled bitterly when she heard this, and said jokingly: "If I'm not mistaken, Uncle Hui counted all the songs he has written in the past few years into a big album, isn't it a brand new record if you perfect it, I guarantee that the sales of this record will exceed mine." ”

"Mm-hmm, Lijun is right, I'll do it right away when I get back." Long Zichen laughed as he spoke: "Hehe, I'm going to give him a big surprise when I make the record!" ”

"And the song "The Way You Look" is also good, it's hard to imagine that he can make such a tactful and poignant lyrics." Teresa Teng's words are not without envy.

Long Zichen frowned and said: "Ah Hu's subordinates seem to have a pair of sisters, and the soundtrack of this movie must also be their handwriting, I am thinking about when to turn them to Lifeng Records." ”

"Oh, wouldn't Ah Hu be angry?" Teresa Teng was taken aback, feeling that Long Zichen's idea was a bit too evil, and it was hard to imagine that a rich daughter like her would do something to dig people's corners.

"Hey, Lijun, you seem to be worried about Ah Hu." Long Zichen suddenly turned his head, his eyes flashed with gossip, and he asked with a wicked smile: "Confess quickly, do you like Ah Hu?" ”

"Why!" Teresa Teng's face was hot, and she immediately retorted: "I'm not like someone, I obviously like it in my heart, but I refuse to say it in my mouth, and I secretly do a lot of things for him without asking for anything in return."

Before Teresa Teng's words were finished, Long Zichen had already turned into a little devil, and rushed over with his teeth and claws: "Dead girl, let you talk more!" ”

"Oh, look, that song is singing again, stop making trouble, listen to the song, listen to the song."

At this time, the light and catchy song sounded again, but it was the three members of Ah Lang's family singing together in the moving car, at that time they fully enjoyed the happiness of reunion, the warm picture, and the strong family affection, which made the hearts of all the audiences in the theater warm.

This movie always touches them in the small details that they don't even notice. The dialogue is like this, and so is the song, which shows that Wang Xiaohu has spent a lot of effort for this literary film.

I don't know that all this is easy in Wang Xiaohu's opinion, some classic scripts are deeply remembered in my mind, and some songs are also echoing in my ears, this "Love Song 1990" and "Your Look" play the finishing touch to the whole movie, there is a way that songs are born for movies, sometimes it is the movie that is sublimated because of songs, Luo Dayou can be said to be the biggest hero of "The Story of Ah Lang", but at this time Luo Dayou is still in Taiwan, and his musical talent has not yet emerged, Otherwise, Wang Xiaohu will directly dig it up and stuff it into Lifeng Records for development.

The movie continues to play, but after entering the second half, the plot of the story begins to change from humor and warmth to a heavy plot, and Ah Lang beats his son's ass with a hanger in order to make his son return to his mother.

It's really "beating is kissing, scolding is love", "hitting you, pain is in my heart", but it's no longer a joke here. Many viewers saw this, and they couldn't bear it in their hearts, and when Ah Lang was "ruthless" to hit Bozai, he said, "I won't beat you today, I'm your son!" In fact, it also showed that he was not only beating his son, but also beating himself, beating his past, and beating himself for not being able to give Bo Zai a good future.

There is no audience to blame Ah Lang for his ruthlessness, but more of Ah Lang's kind understanding and sympathy, and his inability to give up his son and the contradiction of longing for him to live a happier life than his own makes him feel more tormented. Chow Yun-fat performed this scene to the fullest, and Cai Xuefu's hateful villain who gritted his teeth was gradually forgotten through this plot.

"There is no doubt that this is a good actor with very good acting skills!" When Run Run Shaw saw this, he couldn't help but start to envy Wang Xiaohu's unique vision, who would have thought that the waiter who served dishes in the small restaurant would become a popular actor with such superb acting skills after Wang Xiaohu's short training for a few years? Even if Chow Yun finds out that he is not yet popular, it is foreseeable that after the release of this movie, Chow Yun-fat will immediately become the most sought after powerful idol in Hong Kong, and his value will rise.

"Wang Xiaohu is really the hand of God, whoever he holds is popular!" Jin Yong also said with emotion, which reminded him of the "Film Biweekly" that was being planned, it seems that the first issue of the publication does not have to worry about what to write, this is a pretty good theme, very classic and inspirational. "If this movie had been released on Father's Day, the box office would have been even better!"

Shen Zhong, who has always been silent, shook his head when he heard the words and said: "We are all Chinese, and after the Laoshizi Foreign Devil's Day, I feel that the Spring Festival stalls are much better than the Father's Day release." ”

"Huh." Jin Yong and Run Run Shaw looked at each other and smiled bitterly, unable to communicate with this big boss.

Ah Lang tried his best to beat and scold his son, asking his son to return to his mother, but he was secretly crying...... The son cried through the microphone about his reluctance to give up on his father, and outside the door was his mother's panicked teary eyes, and then contrasted with his father who was alone in the dark night.

At this time, not only the actors on the big screen were crying, not only the Ah Lang family at both ends of the microphone was crying, but hundreds of people in the movie theater were also crying with them.

"It's so touching, they all say that the prodigal son will not change his money, this should be a reunion, right?" The middle-aged woman who refused to buy paper towels just now was moved by the plot, and was wiping the paper towels prepared earlier, and the others were not as prepared as this aunt was, so they had to start buying paper towels like the hawkers, and the hawkers had been waiting for a long time, taking the opportunity to raise the price of paper towels to one Hong Kong dollar and two packs, and they were still selling quickly.

So, the movie was crying, the theater was crying, one side was crying, and another tear gas plot was smashed, choking around, and the hawkers were also busy running in the theater, and from time to time they would ask their companions to pick up the supplies.

But it was clear that the hawkers were not selling as fast as paper towels, and soon the second batch of paper towels they had prepared was out of stock, and some people kept reaching out and asking for paper towels.

"One Hong Kong dollar and one pack!"

"One Hong Kong dollar is one Hong Kong dollar!" The woman was crying very hard just now, and in less than fifteen minutes, there were a lot of tissues piled up under her feet, well, the tissues she prepared were cried early, and she had to grit her teeth and take out a Hong Kong dollar from her pocket and throw it viciously into the hands of the vendor: "Give!" ”

The peddler was amused, raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that the ghost would buy my tissues unless the brain was funny, why, you have become a ghost now, and you are still a crybaby!" ”

"I want you to take care of the old lady!" The woman kicked up her eyes and grabbed the tissues and continued to cry while watching, wiping her eyes, but her tear gland secretion was also developed, and the pack of tissues was about to bottom out!

Ah Lang finally understands that he must accept such a cruel reality. It seems that in order to prove that he still has the courage to live again, for himself, for Bo Zai, perhaps, and **.

Racing is Ah Lang's spiritual pursuit, and so is Bo Zai. For the sake of Bozai's growth, he can give up racing. In order to **, he can also be a self-reliant person. Ah Lang is like a small pavilion made up of these three pillars, and if the pillars are missing two main ones, he will go to the racing car to find them.

He rejoined the car, and in the roaring motor, when he was about to rush out, suddenly, he saw **, among thousands of people, and also saw **On the wrist raised high to him, it was the bracelet he gave **. This token appears repeatedly in the play, and at every turning point of love and hatred, it is the emotional secret of Ah Lang and **.

Such a plot makes the audience feel familiar with He Zeng, isn't "A Tiger" also looking for what is lost through Muay Thai, the audience is not depressed by this similar storyline, because they calm down, while preparing tissues, they are staring closely at the tense competition scene.

They are mentally prepared, but they don't know if this time, Wang Xiaohu will give them a reunion comedy, or continue the tragic atmosphere of "Ah Hu".

When Ah Lang was about to win, he was hit twice fatally, the world was spinning, and the scenes of the past changed in the sky, and the hearts of many viewers were also pinched together, at this time, the depressed and rapid music sounded, and the hoarse and desolate singing accompanied the picture, which made many people cry little by little.

"I heard someone's voice, like a whimpering river in a dream, and I saw the steps of someone who was far away, covering the sad eyes when I said goodbye"

Ah Lang knew that ** was waiting for him at the end, and Bo Tsai was also waiting for him at the end.

Blood, constantly blurring Alang's eyes and his helmet mask.

In fact, at this time, Ah Lang of ** has died, and Ah Lang is using the power of love to drive himself closer to **, close to ...... "What seems to be full of turning around is the shadow of the bleak after drying the tears, I don't understand why the world can't dissolve your appearance"

Ah Lang used his last bit of strength to ride the car towards the finish line, he was the first to rush to the finish line, and he won! At this time, Alang's injured head began to bleed profusely, and Alang, who had experienced too much suffering on the track, finally lost control, and the car hit the wall like a wild horse that had escaped the border with a huge habitual name, and then bounced back hard

"Don't!" Long Zichen was crying, wiping his red and swollen eyes that were already crying with a tissue, choking, Teresa Teng next to him was even more unbearable, he had already turned his head away, and he couldn't bear to look at this sad picture.

**'s expression left a deep impression on the audience, it was from the bottom of my heart of worry and fear, only the closest people can have feelings, the kind of expression that suddenly fell from the peak of joy to hell, so that many people's hearts sank together

"His grandmother's, this ending is so damn sensational, so sensational that Lao Tzu wants to cry!" Shen Zhong sniffed hard, blinked his eyes a few times, and finally put back the tears that were about to burst. I didn't know that this sentence also remembered in Run Run Shaw's heart, but Shen Zhong said what was in his heart, and he didn't want to repeat it.

"Hey, you don't write a book, you don't!" In order to hide his embarrassment, Shen Zhong wanted to see Run Run Shaw's reaction, but who expected that Lao Shao would not be moved, but just stared at the big screen with his eyes, who knew that as soon as he turned around, he saw Jin Yong, whose tear ducts were collapsed, sobbing in a subtle voice, and tissues scattered at Jin Yong's feet, which made Shen Zhong dumbfounded

There was no hoarse shouting, only Bo Zai and **, Ah Long jumped into the track, desperately approaching Ah Lang, Bo Zai fell to the ground, screaming, but there was no sound, only the song "The Way You Look" was echoing, at this time the movie was silent and sound, but the theater was crying, and the emotional control was slightly weak, and he was already crying.

The music continued to sound tepidly sadly, engulfing Ah Lang's ideals and beliefs, and the fire of family affection and happiness that engulfed ** and Bo Zai was slowly extinguished on the silver screen.

At the end of the film, no one left the theater, they wiped the corners of their blurred eyes, got up from the sofa with some difficulty, and stared at the person in the front row, they wanted to know what this guy who had earned so many of their tears tonight would say.

No one applauded, only a faint choked voice, somewhat unexpected by Wang Xiaohu, he turned around and scratched his head, seeing that the audience's eyes were focused on him, and instantly understood their intentions.

Some surprises, some touches, Wang Xiaohu walked on the stage alone like this, and the lights in the entire theater seemed to be focused on him at that moment.

"What do you think Huhu will say?" Long Zichen asked Teresa Teng, who shook his head and said, "This is the first time I have watched his movie, and I don't know him very well. ”

"Hehe, in my opinion, he will cough twice, then touch his nose, and then grin and say: I can see from your red and swollen eyes"

Long Zichen's words were not finished, Teresa Teng's eyes were already so wide that she couldn't stare anymore, and looked at Long Zichen with a ghostly look, "Oh my God, you"

Because Wang Xiaohu on the stage was really as Long Zichen said, he coughed twice, then subconsciously touched his nose, and then grinned and said: "I know that you must be scolding me in your hearts, because your red and swollen eyes have betrayed your hearts, and the tears you cry out tonight must be the sum of a year, if that's the case, I'm so happy!" ”

There were bursts of sighs from the audience, mixed with a little laughter and scolding, Wang Xiaohu was cheap and obedient, and said something depressing.

"Zichen, how did you do it!"

Long Zichen shrugged and said, "It's just that I've observed carefully. ”

"I don't think it's right, if you don't care too much about him, how can you observe it so much, and you can even guess what he is used to doing and saying, oh my God, Zichen, you can't be helped!" Teresa Teng exaggeratedly said: "Is it worth it for you to do this?" ”

"So what? I just need to like him, and whether he likes me or not is his business! Long Zichen once again said this sentence in a stubborn tone, I don't know how many times I answered, so Teresa Teng didn't know how to answer for a while.

"At this moment, if I say anything cool, you will definitely have to demolish my movie theater." Wang Xiaohu is very self-aware, and after opening a little humor, he continued: "No matter how everyone comments on the ending of this movie, in short, I will not shoot the second ending, I feel that the current result is perfect, although you have resentment in your hearts, but please believe me, any ending is not as great a sensation as this ending gives you, if you can still think of Ah Lang in a few years or even decades, think of "Love Song 1976", and "The Way You Look", I think it is enough. ”

"Once again, I would like to thank Fa Zai, Ai Jia, Ada, and Xing Zai, I really want to say that they have suffered a lot for the sake of making this movie, and our motorcycle stunt team is even more desperate, you may not know, several crashes and overturned stunts in the film were filmed by Wan Hanfei and Jackie Chan no less than dozens of times, and the injuries and sufferings suffered during the period are unimaginable, so if you still have a grudge against the film, please don't target them." Wang Xiaohu pointed to his chest and said: "You want to target me, because I am the screenwriter, I am the director, and I am the culprit!" ”
