Chapter 500: "Old Boy" is here

Because he was filming, Lin Yuquan did not see off Yifei and Dandan, who returned to Kyoto, and the two days passed in a flash, and the time soon came on Thursday, December 4th, the day when "Old Boy" was officially released on a large scale across the Taiwan Strait.

After a period of fierce publicity, many fans and audiences have been looking forward to this for a long time, and for a while, all the theaters showing "Old Boy" in the three places across the Taiwan Strait poured into a large number of audiences on this day, and their purpose was just to watch such a long-awaited comedy movie.

Yes, comedy, whether it's the poster of "Oldboy" or "Trailer" is telling the same thing, "Oldboy" is a super hilarious comedy movie, especially the trailer that dances Mike. The Jackson dance is so spoof that it makes people laugh.

This is important, because modern urban life is fast-paced and stressful, and people need to have a way to relieve stress, and going to the cinema to watch a comedy movie is undoubtedly a good relaxation, especially in the current sinister situation shrouded by the international financial crisis, people need joyful movies that will make them laugh more than ever.

In fact, compared with the past two years, this year's Chinese New Year comedy movies have completely dominated the mainstream, except for "October Siege" and "Tough Guy", all other films are labeled as "comedy", in order to stand out in the fierce competition for the Chinese New Year.

"Women Are Not Bad", which was released today on December 4 with "Old Boy", is such a comedy movie, directed by Xu Ke, co-starring Zhou Xun, Zhang Yuqi, and Gui Lunmei, from the main creative lineup alone. It's almost on par with "Old Boy".

Taking the comedy route together, and on the same schedule, the box office PK of the two movies has become a hot topic of discussion among the media and fans after confirming each other's schedules.

What kind of reaction will it provoke? After finishing work, Lin Yuquan's eyes seemed to travel through time and space. Coming to the screening room of "Old Boy", it is really exciting!

In all the theaters where "Old Boy" was screened, the movie had not yet started, and the audience around was almost full of people laughing and talking about the movie, drinking soda and eating popcorn with a look of enjoyment, or watching the roll ads playing on the big screen comfortably. The scene was very lively.

The night gradually covered the earth, and without warning, the light of the big screen in the theater suddenly disappeared. In the darkness, "Oh, it's almost begins", all the audience stared. Stop what you're doing. Looking at the big screen with anticipation, I hope it looks good and is funny!

"Old Boy" certainly lived up to the audience's expectations, "Hahaha, it's so funny." Less than two minutes into the opening, with the sound of the high school campus radio echoing in the theater, bursts of laughter sounded in the dimly lit screening hall, especially Xiao Yang's appearance on the screen. It's really hard to laugh, where is the youthful and sunny middle school boy. It's just an adult putting on a middle school uniform, how to look at it and feel awkward.

"Huh." Even if she had seen it in advance, Liu Yifei still couldn't suppress the urge to laugh, her face was flushed with laughter, and she couldn't breathe.

"Haha." Wang Luodan, who had not seen it, smiled far more exaggerated than Liu Yifei, and covered his stomach with his hands: "No, no, my stomach is going to die of laughter." ”

In the memory of many people, the school uniform he wore at the beginning can be described as ugly, far less fashionable and beautiful than Japan and South Korea, but when Liu Yifei, who was wearing a blue and white school uniform, appeared on the big screen, his pure and sweet shape easily hit the hearts of countless audiences, with slightly tied hair, scattered hair curtains, faint smile, fair skin, such Liu Yifei is so beautiful and pure, and the admiration suddenly sounded irrepressibly in the theater.

"Wow, that's beautiful." "Worthy of my goddess." "The poster is beautiful enough, I didn't expect it to be even more beautiful in the movie." Liu Yifei's fans and fans have their eyes lit up.

"Sure enough, you can't blame the school uniform for being ugly, it's too shocking, and I will never shoot a scene where I want to wear a school uniform in the future." Wang Luodan leaned into Liu Yifei's ear and muttered.

"Huh." The corners of Liu Yifei's mouth turned up slightly, outlining a charming smile, thinking of watching a movie with Lin Yuquan at that time.

But soon there were bursts of chuckles in the theater, "Thank you for the love you gave me, I will never forget this life and this life, thank you for the tenderness you gave me" The singing echoing in the theater was very beautiful, but looking at Xiao Yang, who was full of obscenity on the screen, playing and singing "Xiao Fang", many people shook their shoulders and tried to hold back, but in the end they laughed out loud.

Such a light laugh then quickly turned into a violent burst of laughter, just because in Guo Fucheng's "I can't stop loving you" song, Wang Xiaoshuai played by Wang Taili appeared, there is no doubt that due to the relationship between age and appearance, Wang Taili's appearance is much more exaggerated and awkward than Xiao Yang, many viewers applauded hard while bursting with laughter, and tears of laughter were about to come out.

As the plot progresses, the story gradually becomes clear, Xiao Dabao played by Xiao Yang is the head of the gangster in middle school, bullying and teasing many people, including Wang Xiaoshuai and Bao Xiaobai, he and Wang Xiaoshuai both like the school girl Bai Jiaying played by Liu Yifei, and spare no effort to pursue each other, because of this relationship, Xiao Dabao hates Wang Xiaoshuai to the core, and constantly teases each other, but because the two have the same music dream, they both love Michael. Jackson, the two gradually became friends and also formed a dance group.

In the plot that revolves around the pursuit of school flowers and musical dreams, scenes of laughter and nostalgic stories take place, in a cheerful atmosphere, 50 minutes seem to be fleeting, the laughter in the "Old Boy" screening hall has not stopped, and the audience finds themselves laughing from beginning to end, sometimes bursting with laughter, sometimes chuckling, sometimes laughing breathlessly, sometimes full of memories.

"Old Boy" is not a complete campus movie, the campus life of junior high school ended in the gloomy sadness of Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai, none of them pursued Bai Jiaying, and with poor academic performance, they could only look gloomily at the back of Bai Jiaying, who was admitted to a key university, and they did not realize their music dreams together, after a big drunk. They went their separate ways and embarked on their own paths in life.

Twenty years have passed, and high-rise buildings appear on the screen. In the endless urban scene, in a palatial hotel, Xiao Dabao became a lame wedding host, and he almost messed up the wedding with frequent mistakes, and the meager host's salary was deducted half by the angry wedding company owner, and he returned to his dirty rental house in despair.

Later, the camera pans to a narrow barber shop on a deserted street. Wang Xiaoshuai became the owner of the barber shop, and he was lame in his craft because he did not satisfy the other party with the haircut he gave to the customer, so he did not receive the money. He was almost beaten.

Such a scene made the audience watch it with relish, and kept a smile on their faces, and let out a soft laugh from time to time, but as the plot continued to advance. The laughter in the theater became quieter and quieter. Eventually, it disappears altogether, replaced by a sentimental vibe.

Xiao Dabao happened to meet Bao Xiaobai, a high school classmate played by Xu Zheng, the cowardly boy who was often bullied by him in the past is no longer the cowardly and timid appearance of the past, but has become a successful TV producer, and what is even more surprising is that the other party actually married Bai Jiaying, who he has always been in love with, seeing Bao Xiaobai unscrupulously showing off his relationship with Bai Jiaying in front of him, Xiao Dabao smiled indescribably reluctantly.

See such a scene. Countless viewers couldn't help but show a look of nostalgia in their sadness, thinking that they also liked a girl (boy) back then. But for various reasons, I didn't get together with each other in the end, time passed, and I don't know what happened to the other party, maybe just like Bai Jiaying, she became someone else's girlfriend (boyfriend) or wife (husband).

And when I saw Wang Xiaoshuai and his wife living a plain life, working hard for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, the sadness in my heart became stronger and stronger, and the older the audience, the more so, when everyone was young, in the youthful years, there would be a lot of uninhibited ideas, a lot of wild dreams, but when they left school and entered the society, in the face of the pressure of life, they could only put aside those dreamy ideas, work hard for themselves and their families, and live a life that is actually extremely resistant in their hearts, but there is no other way.

The story on the big screen continues, and when he was separated from Bao Xiaobai, Bao Xiaobai gave Xiao Dabao an understanding, and told Xiao Dabao that he was working as the producer of a singing show "Happy Boys", and if Xiao Dabao wanted to continue to pursue his music dream in high school, he could go to his show. Once at Wang Xiaoshuai's house, Xiao Dabao mentioned Bai Jiaying's matter, and after a period of silence, Xiao Dabao proposed that the two team up again to participate in Bao Xiaobai's show, but Wang Xiaoshuai and his wife Hao Fang objected. After a period of unsatisfactory work, at the barbecue stall in the night market, listening to the singer's singing "My future is not a dream", the music dream in the hearts of the two was ignited again, and seeing the two practicing dance hard, Hao Fang, who was originally against them, finally decided to support them.

After some preparation, the two went to participate in the "Happy Boy" competition, and after extremely nervous waiting, the two stepped onto the stage. Jackson's dance, this moment goes back in time, it seems to go back to high school, when the two of them also danced Mike's dance like this.

In the first half of the film, when the two are seen dancing Mike. Jackson's dance, the laughter in the theater came and went, but at this moment the theater was extremely quiet, all the audience stared at the two people dancing so seriously on the big screen without blinking, and at the same time sad, they also unconsciously automatically took on the role of the two, worried about whether the two could pass the test.

Later, when they saw that the two of them successfully entered the semi-finals, the audience in the theater immediately smiled with relief and were happy from the bottom of their hearts for the two of them.

However, such a smile did not last long, because the rematch required the contestants to sing their own original songs, and what was worse was that Bao Xiaobai, who was bullied by Xiao Dabao in the past, actually did not really let go of the festival and forgive Xiao Dabao, he let Xiao Dabao participate in the competition just to see the other party's jokes, who knew that the other party actually entered the semi-finals, and Bai Jiaying's happy expression when he learned that the two had entered the semi-finals stung him even more, and he hinted that the judges would eliminate the "chopsticks brothers" who were old and not in line with the trend of the times in the next round of the competition.

How can such two bad news not make people worry about Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai's promotion prospects, the atmosphere in the theater suddenly became tense, looking at Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai, who were happy to celebrate because they entered the semi-finals and were full of longing for their music dreams, all the audience was secretly anxious.

The rematch has finally begun. A handsome boy in front of him was unanimously praised by the judges, got a high score, and it was the turn of the chopsticks brothers to play.

In the audience's worries. Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai, who were handsomely dressed, walked on the stage, because they were hinted by Bao Xiaobai, the two were harassed by the judges as soon as they came on the stage.

"This guy." Seeing this scene, many viewers gritted their teeth.

As soon as the lights on the stage dimmed, Xiao Dabao held the guitar and auditioned on the microphone. Wang Xiaoshuai is in the typical Mike. Jackson's voice effect, striking a Mike dance pose.

Seeing this scene, the audience was worried about the two at the same time. is naturally curious about the next performance of the two.

Melodious music sounded in the theater, Wang Xiaoshuai opened with a Mike dance, and when everyone thought he would do a handsome Mike dance, he suddenly took off his hat and suit jacket. Then. Xiao Dabao, who played the guitar, also began to sing: "That's the person I miss and love day and night, how should I express it?"

As soon as Xiao Dabao's singing sounded, all the audience couldn't help but show an unexpected look while refreshing, no longer like the first half of the song is laughable, this song is unexpectedly very good.

The singing continued to echo through the auditorium.

"Will she accept me? Maybe I will never say that sentence to her, I am destined to wander the world, how can I be concerned. Dreams are always out of reach, and you should not give up. It's another season for flowers to bloom and fall, and where are you in spring? ”

In the singing, Wang Xiaoshuai danced seriously on the stage that was not beautiful at all, but at this time, no audience felt funny, and an inexplicable sadness filled everyone's hearts, they knew that this was Xiao Dabao expressing his feelings for Bai Jiaying, and the scene of Xiao Dabao's pursuit of Bai Jiaying before also involuntarily appeared in their minds, imperceptibly, their eyes were faintly swollen, and they had the urge to cry.

"Hey, husband, next." When the song came here, Hao Fang in the audience got up and handed a piece of red cloth to Wang Xiaoshuai who was dancing.

Hao Fang's voice seemed to be a catalyst, which suddenly made countless viewers unable to hold back their sadness anymore, and their eyes became moist.

Xiao Dabao's singing continues.

"Youth is like a rushing river, I can't say goodbye if I don't come back, only I am numb, and I have no blood of the year."

More and more viewers' eyes became moist, and they felt that Xiao Dabao's song seemed to be singing about themselves at this moment.

"Look at the flowers floating in the sky, withering in the most beautiful moment, who will remember that he has been to this world, in the blink of an eye, many years of the world, how many joys and sorrows, once aspired to the Quartet of young people, envy the Yan who flew south, each running to the future, hurriedly drifting away, where is the future ordinary, ah, who gave me the answer, the person who accompanied me at that time, where are you now, the person I once loved, what is it like now"

In the singing, the picture switches to Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai's former high school classmates, and now they are in the Quartet, doing all kinds of different jobs and living a very different life, including Hao Fang, Bao Xiaobai, Bai Jiaying, listening to Xiao Dabao's singing on the scene or on TV, they all shed tears.

Of course, the audience in the "Old Boy" screening hall of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places no longer seems to be singing about themselves at this moment, but they are singing themselves, and in the singing, they think of the young but dreamy years, the classmates who have accompanied them for a few years, and the people they once liked, and the tears that slipped into their eyes are more and more.

"Did you get your wish? Do you have to pay tribute now? Let the years dry and the ideal can no longer find the real me, life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing our appearance, and it will wither before it blooms? Youth is like a rushing river, I can't come back and say goodbye, only I am numb, there is no blood of the year, look at the flowers floating in the sky"

Many viewers couldn't hold back their emotions anymore and sobbed loudly.

In the sad singing, subtitles gradually appeared on the screen, no applause, no admiration, and all the audience was silent in sad emotions for a long time.

When all the subtitles of the performers were played, the words "three months later" appeared on the big screen, and the voice of the female host sounded in the theater: "The top ten of the happy male voice in the country have been decided, and the ten contestants are all post-90s idol singers, and the older popular group Chopsticks Brothers, which was concerned before, only stopped at the top 50, which also means that Chinese pop culture has officially entered a younger era." ”

In the broadcast, Wang Xiaoshuai and Xiao Dabao's current lives appeared on the big screen in turn, Wang Xiaoshuai is still working as a small boss of a barber shop, and it seems that he is back to his original life track, but the sincere smile on their faces fully shows that their lives at this time have undergone subtle changes.

The audience was not surprised by such a result, and the result seemed to be doomed as early as when Bao Xiaobai hinted at the judges.

When the words "dreams are the same as classics, they will never fade because of time, but become more precious" on the big screen, accompanied by the singing of "Old Boy" again, in all the theaters where "Old Boy" was screened on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the tearful audience all applauded vigorously to express their emotions, and the thunderous applause filled the entire space for a long time, and it was a long time since such overwhelming applause sounded in the theater.

There is no doubt that Oldboy succeeded.
