Chapter 123: A Magical Movie-Watching Experience

The girl's name is Chen Ying, a sophomore, a local native...

Now the Chinese New Year is actually no different from other times.

"New Year on the Tip of the Tongue" has this passage: "The taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker, just because with the improvement of living standards, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has lost its attractiveness... Every Chinese New Year, my mother complained: What do you eat? What do you want to eat? The children say whatever, you do whatever you want. I have to keep it every year. ”

The main reason is that the Spring Festival has lost the sense of ritual of the year.

In the words of "The Little Prince": "The sense of ritual is to make a certain day different from other days, to make a certain moment different from other moments." ”

Rituals are the magic that makes ordinary days shine, and it is our revenge on ordinary life.

Therefore, the festival no longer resembles a festival, and it is no wonder that the flavor of the year is getting weaker and weaker.

I don't want to go to relatives, and during the Spring Festival, there are not many choices.

Amusement parks and everything are closed, and watching movies has gradually become a mainstream choice!

The ticket price is moderate, and there is also the vigorous promotion of the film, from 99 to just leaving, everyone knows that Big Brother Cheng's "Kung Fu Yoga" is being screened...

As a mainstream movie consumer group, it is understandable that Chen Ying appeared in the theater!

It's just that I never expected to meet a big star!

……

In fact, Chen Ying is indifferent to Yang Lan.

She prefers Zhao Liying.

But after seeing the deity, Chen Ying immediately turned to a fan...

Probably attracted by her appearance?

I wanted to take a photo with her several times, but I was embarrassed, I always felt that the star chaser used to be a bad pen, people should have their own self, and people who are obsessed with idols are bad pen!

The girl is a high-achieving undergraduate student in China Media 211, how can she chase stars?

It can only be said that this meeting completely subverted the girl's three views...

“… You..."

"Do you want a group photo?"

Yang Lan took the initiative to ask.

"Eunh."

The girl nodded vigorously...

"However, the light is not very good, so let's wait for the screening to end, let's go outside and take a group photo together!"

"Good!"

Holding back her excitement, Chen Ying tried to focus on the big screen...

The movie begins.

……

Before watching "Riding the Wind and Waves", Chen Ying had almost no expectations for the movie.

With the words "Riding the Wind and Waves" and the four men with their heads held high on the poster, I can't imagine what kind of movie this is; The trailer is a few pictures that can't see the plot, with an old song, which has a little elegant feeling, but I still don't know what the story of the movie is.

Why did you choose this movie?

Of course, it's because of Bai Xiaofei!

Wulin Gaiden!

That's enough, but Bai Xiaofei's movie, she is ready - "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" is a movie specially made for literary and artistic youth, all kinds of poems...

So when I saw the opening of "Riding the Wind and Waves", Chen Ying felt quite surprised.

I didn't expect him to make a change from the form of the film at all.

The graphics are very dynamic!

The previous narrative of "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" was at a constant speed, and this time "Riding the Wind and Waves" is acceleration and deceleration;

"Wulin Gaiden" is postmodern nonsense!

He wants to use the change of rhythm to bring the audience into his state, and he is very active in wanting the audience to accept his story - this is what Chen Ying thought after seeing the opening!

The purpose of "Riding the Wind and Waves" is very clear, the film will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the festive atmosphere must be enough!

Therefore, the whole story is connected with funny jokes.

The joke is different from the golden sentence, the golden sentence is to say it and stop it, it contains a little truth in it, and it is a joke that can only be understood after thinking about it, and it is an ironic and indifferent attitude.

But the audience on the first day of the Lunar New Year is very picky, they have been reasoning for a year, and they entered the cinema on this day to be happy with their family and friends, so nothing is more realistic than the joke.

Obviously, Bai Xiaofei has worked the jokes, and every joke is very innovative, although it is not necessarily a new stalk, but it is put in the plot, it has a different taste!

If it's just a collection of jokes, the movie is likely to be reduced to a more advanced sketch.

"Riding the Wind and Waves" is not, its jokes are very modern and the mood is very nostalgic.

Where there are jokes, people laugh, and where there are no jokes, people are moved.

With the accompaniment of a bunch of golden songs, everything from twenty years ago is vividly remembered.

On the screen, the protagonist looks back on his ups and downs in life, and the background music is very calm;

The picture shows a hot-blooded man fighting for his brother, and the background music is very soothing.

If the music is too impassioned, the scene will soon be vulgar and old-fashioned, which is obviously not the effect that a family movie wants on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Seeing this, Chen Ying felt that "Riding the Wind and Waves" was very romantic!

However, I always feel that this story is a little familiar...

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally recalled that this was a direct application of the plot of "New Difficult Brothers"!

But the actors were really well chosen, and they spent a lot of money to create nostalgic scenes, and they still look good when filmed.

"New Difficult Brothers" is written about the discord between the son and the father, who came to the father's young age through time and space through making a wish, saw the experience of the poor boy's father, and thought of various ways to lead to various plots in order to help the father catch up with the mother, and finally returned to the reality of the father-son reconciliation.

This is almost exactly the same as the overall plot framework in "Riding the Wind and Waves", except that the identity of Bai Langlang played by Deng Chao was replaced by a racing driver, and the passage that came to the past became a crash rescue.

In "Riding the Wind and Waves", a stalk is also obviously an imitation of "New Difficult Brothers", Chu Yuan, played by Liang Chaowei, suggested that Li Ka-shing do real estate in selling plastic flowers, and in "Riding the Wind and Waves", it was Bai Lang who suggested that Twist Vine do QICQ.

However, compared with the two movies, the shooting set, lens lighting, and special effects level are still better than Bai Xiaofei.

There are so many good stories in the movie, but the important thing is to see what new tricks you can tell.

The scenery where the twist vine left the south of the Yangtze River by train, Chen Ying especially liked it!

Cool colors, plus the unique mountain roads of Gangnam!

That's amazing!

Just this empty shot, you can see that Bai Xiaofei's grasp of the lens is among the top domestic directors.

It's coming to an end!

The smooth and cheerful "small town story" has come to a climax, the wedding date of "parents" is approaching, and Bai Lang asks himself to handle their marriage and is agreed. He also made a request to Shota, asking him not to cause trouble, just like every "traverser" will try to do, trying to redeem the regret of the "future".

It's a pity that Bai Lang didn't know what caused the tragedy of his family, and he probably couldn't imagine that when that moment really came, he would make the same choice as his "stupid father".

"Ah Lang, the car is driving really well."

"You're driving well, too!"

"It's talent, what about you?"

"Me? Heredity! ”

Deng Chao grinned slightly, and the movie came to an abrupt end...

The lights are on, the credits are scrolling across the screen, and the song "In the Rain" is still echoing.

Chen Ying couldn't help but applaud, and then, the big screen suddenly lit up.

"Hey, there's an easter egg!"

Some viewers exclaimed...

The scene is a private room of KTV.

Deng Chao: "What's wrong today?" ”

Bai Xiaofei: "Wait a minute, I'm going to reveal a secret." ”

Then Zhao Liying showed her shoulders and walked in from the main entrance.

"Xiaohua is the mommy here, come, call Mommy!"

"Mommy..."

It's obviously a very funny shot, but Deng Chao's red eyes still make people feel very moved...

"Liying's acting is really good... Hey, why don't you find Yang Lan? ”

Chen Ying suddenly remembered something, turned her head and carefully looked at the face of the young lady next to her...
