Chapter 439: Brocade Night Walk
[Change first, then change, please read it in 20 minutes]
While Xu Zhen and others were watching "The Year of Flowing Water", Zhou Ran was watching "Embroidered Spring Knife" in another screening room.
After entering the venue, while looking for a seat, he secretly looked around, and found that the attendance rate of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was not high, probably only about three or four percent, which was far less popular than "Like a Year of Water".
- It seems that the audience's expectations for their own movies are still higher than Xu Zhen's.
This discovery made Zhou Ran feel very proud.
For Xu Zhen, he is not hostile, but he has a strong sense of competition.
When "Wangcheng" was released, Zhou Ran watched netizens brush up the most every day: "I really want to take Zhou Ran out and replace it with Xu Zhen", which made him feel very sad.
Oh, don't I know how much my acting skills pull my hips?
Do you need to compare the best acting actors in your generation with me? Is this necessary?
However, Zhou Ran knows very well that the box office of a movie is not determined by the acting skills of the actors.
This time, "Like Water" bumped into "Embroidered Spring Knife", and the theme itself was dominant, and he still held a set of Wang Bang on his side and didn't hit it:
Fans have long known that he will release a new album at the end of February this year, and they have been waiting for it for a long time; But what they don't know is that the name of this album is also "The Year of Flowing Water".
Moreover, the title song of the album is the theme song of the movie of the same name.
This wave of fantasy linkage smashed out, which is definitely a shocking effect.
Zhou Ran is 100% confident that the box office on the premiere day of "Like Water" will definitely turn "Embroidered Spring Knife" into slag in seconds.
He looked at the sparse audience around him with his spare eyes, and there was an inexplicable sour feeling in his heart that he was holding the chance to win.
"Hey, Xiao Zhou?"
Zhou Ran was proud, and suddenly heard someone calling him, and subconsciously raised his head.
I saw a middle-aged woman in her forties standing in the aisle, with short hair, exquisite makeup, and a decent black professional skirt.
He knew this person - Chen Ruoyu, the editor-in-chief of a film magazine and a well-known film critic.
"What a coincidence, Sister Chen." Zhou Ran smiled and said hello to the other party.
Chen Ruoyu took the opportunity to sit on the empty seat next to him, and said with interest: "Yes, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come to see "Embroidered Spring Knife". ”
"Do you want to know the strength of your competitors?"
Zhou Ran said: "Yes, I know myself and my opponent." ”
When he saw this famous film critic appear here, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Sister Chen came to see "Embroidered Spring Knife", is she very optimistic about this movie?" ”
Chen Ruoyu shook his head and said, "No, it's just a coincidence that the number of scenes is appropriate." ”
"The screening will last for a week, and I plan to 'live' in the theater and watch as much as I want."
Hearing this answer, Zhou Ran immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
OK!
It's not specifically attracted, it's just watching the film indiscriminately!
He continued to ask, "What movies did Sister Chen watch?" Is there anything in particular that you recommend? ”
Chen Ruoyu understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "I watched "Like Water in the Year" in the morning. ”
"The commerciality is good, and it is indeed tailored for the current market."
"The story is a little worse, but the elements are more ingenious, and the youth theme is combined with historical events, from the Olympic bid, to the World Cup, SARS, manned spaceflight, and the earthquake...... Along the way, it brings people back to the past, catering to the appetites of certain groups of people. ”
Chen Ruoyu smiled: "When I watched it in the morning, I saw that there were many girls crying around me. ”
"This kind of film is like this, evoking people's nostalgia and regret for youth."
"The box office results should not be bad."
Zhou Ran grinned when he heard this.
Chen Ruoyu's words seemed to be praised, but he didn't praise them completely, but Zhou Ran was already content.
He himself knows that the selling point of "Like Water" is to evoke people's memories and remember the lost youth.
What's wrong with finding the right market and showing fixed content to a fixed person?
A movie doesn't need to please everyone, as long as some people are willing to pay the bill.
Let's take a look at "Embroidered Spring Knife": In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch party was destroyed, the knife was unsheathed, love and hatred were broken, and corrupt officials were beheaded...... What's the big thing about that?
Who did you shoot this film for?
The subject matter was lost, and the publicity was not hard, and the movie was about to be released, and there was not even a single person among the actors who had recently fallen in love...... How can this heat get up??
Zhou Ran only felt that these salted fish were not his effective competitors at all.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang ......"
At this time, a familiar music sounded, the lights in the screening room dimmed, and the movie was finally about to begin.
The noisy screening room suddenly fell silent, and the audience concentrated and prepared to enjoy the next film.
"During the Ming Qi period, the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian led the governor of Dongchang and caused chaos in the government for eight years."
"At this time, seven or eight out of ten important ministers in the DPRK were Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, known as the 'Eunuch Party' in history."
“……”
In the midst of a narration, the screen gradually lights up, and in the night, two men with lanterns are walking forward on the empty street.
While passing by a large mansion, one of them suddenly said, "Hey, you smell it, is there a smell of blood around here?" ”
The other turned his head to look around, shook his head with a sigh, and said, "Just here, the city smells of blood." ”
"I see Jinyi Wei raiding his house every day."
"As soon as Wei Gelding fell, the tree fell and scattered. Back then, the scenery was infinite, but now all of them have become the souls of the dead under the embroidered spring knife......"
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them.
The two watchmen turned their heads to look at the lantern, and their eyes widened:
I saw that under the dim light of the candlelight, a large group of men dressed in black clothes and carrying treasure knives appeared in the darkness.
The leader of the person, with a slender face and eyes like an eagle falcon, said coldly: "Jinyi Wei is doing business, and the idle people are scattered!" ”
- This person is the male protagonist played by Wu Zhen, the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei, Shen Lian.
When the two givers saw his gaze, they were frightened, and hurriedly fled to the side of the road, making way for the group.
In front of the screen, Zhou Ran subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
He knew that "Embroidered Spring Knife" was a martial arts film, but he didn't expect it to start so soon.
There was no nonsense at the beginning, and the opening was when the Jinyi Guard led the team to arrest the eunuchs.
Less than 30 seconds after the start of the feature film, Shen Lian, played by Wu Zhen, directly led the team to rush into the main house, neatly solved a group of guards, and forced the eunuchs to hide.
However, just as he was about to succeed, the eunuch escaped through the back door under the protection of a group of guards.
Shen Lian immediately used his hand crossbow to release a signal in the direction he was fleeing.
As soon as the picture turned, a black figure swept quickly over the wall, and in an instant caught up with the group of people who had just escaped, and then deftly jumped down from the wall, blocking the group of people who had just escaped.
At this time, the camera quickly zooms in, cutting a close-up of the scene from far to near.
At the same time, the figure raised its head in the frame, revealing a handsome and pale face.
- It is Jin Yichuan played by Xu Zhen.
The moment Zhou Ran saw Xu Zhen's face, his heart suddenly felt tight.
He didn't wear much makeup on the screen, and he didn't look much different from his usual appearance.
Obviously, he had just met him and chatted with him for a long time, but at this moment, Zhou Ran looked at the brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit on the screen, but he felt so strange.
It was as if what was seen was a complete stranger.
And this feeling became stronger and stronger in the future.
Hearing only the sound of "swish", Xu Zhen suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and rushed towards the crowd quickly.
Seven or eight people surrounded him in the narrow alley, and one of them shouted, "Run, my lord!" We block ......"
However, before he finished his sentence, he saw a flash of silver light, and his throat was quickly cut by Xu Zhen.
"Hmm!!"
The next moment, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience in the theater.
The fighting style of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is completely different from that of other recent martial arts movies, without emphasizing the stretching and beauty of body movements, nor does it have any slow motion, but is ruthless and crisp, and the rhythm is extremely fast.
The weapon Xu Zhen uses is a double knife, and the footwork is so treacherous that it is elusive, and the double knife in his hand is even more stable, accurate, and ruthless, and he can't see any fancy routines, he can only see that the silver light flashed in the dark, and there were blood flowers.
The narrow alley turned into a living hell in an instant.
"Poof!"
Less than half a minute passed, and the seven or eight people who had just besieged Xu Zhen were all knocked down in the dense rain of swords.
He finally pulled the knife from one of them's chest, splattering blood in his face.
However, at this time, the brocade guard played by Xu Zhen didn't even blink his eyes.
Under the moonlight, he turned his head to look at the corpses around him, his eyes slightly reddened, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It seems that Fang Cai's killing is very enjoyable.
"Ichikawa!"
At this time, Shen Lian's voice calling him sounded at the entrance of the alley.
Xu Zhen followed the prestige, wiped a handful of blood on his face, put the knife into the sheath, and slowly walked out of the alley.
In the dark alley, with every step he took, the madness in his eyes narrowed a little.
A few seconds later, Xu Zhen walked out of the darkness and came to the street lit by torches.
The moment the fire shone on his face, there was no trace of his madness.
Xu Zhen held the hilt of the knife, ran briskly towards the crowd, and smiled at Shen Lian played by Wu Zhen: "Second brother! ”
His eyes are clear and bright, as if he is a young boy who does not know anything about the world.
"Oh ......"
At this moment, Zhou Ran heard it clearly, and someone in the theater couldn't help but burst into foul language.
He stared blankly at Xu Zhen on the big screen and couldn't help but shudder.
…… This is a little different from the "martial arts movie" I imagined, hey?
The bet of "will you cry" with Xu Zhen just now is not to scare the audience into crying, right?
It's only been less than five minutes, and I feel like I'm almost scared to pee!
