Yanjing, Shuangmu Cinema.

Yi Jianmei took her small notebook to find the best position in the theater to watch the movie, and sat down very satisfied.

A group of young people around were talking and laughing and looking for a place to sit down, and gradually the screening room was actually full?

Yi Jianmei looked back, but he really didn't find an empty position.

The subject matter of this film is quite unpopular, and it can be said that it is the first marionette movie in the world. Although you can find a lot of videos of marionettes on the Internet, that kind of video is not a movie at all, it is nothing more than a recording of a traditional puppet show.

Marionettes are actually a little unfamiliar to people like Yi Jianmei who have reached the age of hair loss, let alone these young people. So it was really a bit surprising to see so many young people in the cinema.

But it soon figured it out.

There are no popular movies released on May Day this year, and a movie produced by Tomahawk Pictures suddenly appeared, which is naturally favored by fans.

And in terms of Han Lan's appeal, the box office of the movie on the first day must be guaranteed. As for the follow-up performance, it depends on the quality of the movie.

When the time came, the lights in the screening room were dimmed, and the auditorium, which had been slightly noisy, was quiet.

The classic big golden dragon appeared on the screen, followed by the logo of Tomahawk Entertainment and Tomahawk Pictures.

A lot of people enjoy the beginning of a movie from Tomahawk Pictures. Before other people's movies start, there are three or five or even seven or eight factory logos, although the short films of these factory logos are designed to look better than the other, but it is annoying to watch too much.

In contrast, Tomahawk Pictures has many fewer film factory logos, basically their own two factory logos. If the film investment, production, and publicity are all covered by themselves, it is natural that the logos of other companies will not appear. But along with it, Tomahawk Entertainment has to take the risk of the movie on its own.

This is also what many people admire about them, and there is no one who dares to make movies independently in these years except Tomahawk Pictures.

Yi Jianmei, the circle of film critics, likes to call the movies produced by Tomahawk Pictures "gambling dog movies", and every time a movie is made, it is almost a game of hundreds of millions of dollars.

But for now, it seems that they haven't lost yet.

"Boom-"

A dull ancient bell pulled Yi Jianmei back into the movie.

The equipment of the Shuangmu Cinema is very good, and the bell just now seems to have shaken even the seats.

On the screen, the dark blue night sky catches your eye. As the picture moved, a broken stone tablet appeared in front of him, engraved with three big characters: Lanruo Temple!

In the bleak wind, the withered yellow leaves quietly fall, and the picture follows the withered leaves past the two statues of gods that have been silently guarded for hundreds of years, and crashes into the paper window of the attic of the temple, opening a gap.

Yi Jianmei heard the little fat brother sitting next to him swallow his saliva quietly, obviously being brought into the strange atmosphere in the picture.

However, Yi Jianmei pays more attention to these scenes, and he can't tell whether these scenes are shot in real time or made with special effects.

It wasn't until the picture turned and a young scholar with a book appeared that he suddenly reacted: It's actually a miniature?

In fact, miniatures are not difficult to see in movies, especially in some lighthouse country blockbusters, but many people don't recognize them. Some paranoid directors may not use CG special effects in pursuit of realism. However, in order to reduce costs, many large scenes must not be built in real life, so there is a miniature model between CG special effects and real scene construction. It is more realistic than CG special effects, and it is more cost-effective than live construction.

But when it came to shooting, it was a lot more troublesome, because the model was so small that it couldn't fiddle with the camera like in real life.

Especially in the long shot just now, Yi Jianmei couldn't imagine how the crew filmed it.

Back in the movie, compared to the shock brought to Yi Jianmei by the scene and model, the puppets in it made him a little disappointed. The puppets were exquisitely made, more delicate than the ones he had searched on the Internet before, and even the wiring was erased later. But a puppet is a puppet after all, and the gap between it and the real person can still be seen at a glance.

However, the scholar in the movie just sat there silently holding a book, and it didn't look very rough, which was still acceptable.

When the scholar began to flip through the book, Yi Jianmei heard the audience on the side and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

They knew that this was a puppet show before they came, so they were actually mentally prepared for the performance of the puppets in the movie, and they knew that it was impossible to be as flexible as real people. But this scholar's movements were a little unexpected, and this is too delicate, right?

According to some of the production tidbits released in the previous trailer, the puppets are not large, about the height of an adult's arm. This is still deliberately made large for the purpose of filming, so that it is convenient to add some details, such as fingers that can be moved. But did they really not expect that even the subtle action of flipping a book could be done?

The book is scaled down! How do you turn it?

This puppet's fingers are too flexible, right?

Just when everyone was amazed, the candle flame in the picture seemed to be swaying by the wind, and a wisp of light yarn swept through the camera and fell in front of the scholar, who looked up and saw a girl in white dancing.

Compared to the scholar, this girl is much better-looking.

Maybe the puppet show is good at this kind of classical dance, and the dance is very beautiful.

Although it can still be recognized as a puppet, this puppet is very delicate, and the figure is also very enchanting, the white gauze covers half of her face, but it fails to cover her pair of jade feet.

Yi Jian's eyebrows were clear when he heard the little fat brother on the side swallow his saliva again, this time he ...... I shouldn't be scared.

Young man's blood is strong.

Not only the little fat brother, but also the young scholar in the movie, couldn't help but hold the light yarn and gradually walked up, and the love was strong, and he held the girl's hand tightly.

Yi Jianmei noticed that the little fat brother on the side also held his hand, and estimated that the words in his heart should be: Let go of that girl...... Right?

"Jingle Bell~"

The bell in the girl's hand was accidentally touched, and the sound made the atmosphere weird.

Outside the window, lightning and thunder illuminated the faces of the gods, which made people notice that the faces of the two gods had cracked at some point, and they should have fallen into disrepair.

The picture returned to the attic, and the scene where the little fat brother couldn't help but swallow his saliva continued.

Suddenly, the scholar's eyes widened, as if he had seen something terrifying.

"Ahh

The scholar's legs were twitching and struggling, as if he was trying to push the beauty who was pressing down on him away. But the camera only captured the lower half of the body, and it was impossible to see what happened to him and what he saw in the upper body.

The candle on the desk was extinguished.

The scholar's struggle also stopped.

Yi Jianmei lowered his head slightly and glanced at the little fat brother beside him, as if he had forgotten to water the roses, withered.
