Chapter 621 - Reverse Amway "Baolian Lantern" (Ask for Subscription)
The gamble of deciding "who is the puppy" finally kicked off at 12 a.m.
Gu Miao, who had made an appointment with Huang Kun in advance, sneakily came to the cinema in the hazy night.
"What are you doing here?"
Huang Kun was very puzzled, and when he saw Mr. Gu looking behind him, his expression was indescribably panicked, and he suddenly asked curiously, "Did you hit a ghost on the way here?" ”
"You've just hit a ghost!"
"I'm worried about being discovered by my wife, if she finds out, then I'll be finished!" Gu Miao said with trepidation.
"As for it?"
Huang Kun said angrily: "Look at your cowardice, you don't have any status at home. It's like me, say it at home! ”
You're high, you're amazing!
Really when everyone forgot so quickly, who didn't fight with his daughter-in-law last time, but he was wronged and ran to the company to help?
"You don't understand!"
Gu Miao rolled her eyes and explained: "I was forced to pay the public grain, find an excuse to take a bath, and sneak out of the house. ”
"Look, the slippers haven't been changed yet!"
Huang Kun: "......"
Looking down at the plush Pikachu slippers on Mr. Gu's feet, the corners of Huang Kun's mouth twitched, and he immediately understood.
No wonder his behavior was so suspicious, it turned out to be a poor middle-aged man who secretly escaped from the bathroom because he refused to pay the public rations.
"Let's go, watch a movie!"
Gu Miao, who was still worried about his wife chasing him all the way just now, immediately forgot about it when she walked into the cinema.
The two walked into the theater with great interest.
Surprisingly, although it was 12 o'clock in the night, there were not many viewers who came to watch the movie. According to Gu Miao's preliminary estimate, the attendance rate must be more than ninety percent.
It's 12 o'clock in the night!
At this point, the children must have slept. In other words, most of the audience who came to see the premiere were adults.
Young people make up the majority.
Judging from the fact that so many young men and women do not hesitate to stay up late and come to watch movies, the publicity and distribution work of Plum Blossom Animation in the early stage is quite in place.
After all, this is an animated movie, and it can attract so many young men and women to watch the movie, and the publicity is already a great success.
The rest depends on the feature film.
Soon after Gu Miao and Huang Kun sat down, the movie began to be screened.
The plot told by the movie "Baolian Lantern" is actually not complicated.
The Jade Emperor's sister Yao Ji privately married Yang Tianyou, a scholar in the mortal world, and gave birth to three children: Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan. The Jade Emperor was furious and sent people to destroy the happy life of the family.
Then there is the story of the protagonist Yang Jian, who fights all kinds of immortals in the heavenly court in order to save his mother, especially his uncle, old cousin and other relatives.
This plot is actually very similar to a TV series that Gu Miao watched a long time ago. It's just that in terms of details, the two works are very different.
The most important point is the creation of the protagonist Yang Jian.
In this version of the "Baolian Lantern" animated movie produced by Plum Blossom Animation, Yang Jian is a tragic character. The screenwriter's full malice towards him can be described as overflowing the screen.
I wanted to protect everything, but in the end I couldn't keep anything......
The people around him died one by one.
Brothers, parents, lovers, companions, all those who were involved with him, except for one Yang Chan who was spared, the rest all died.
The tone of the movie is dark and sad.
The style of painting is also the kind of painting style that is more depressing and dark, and it makes people breathless. Especially the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor in the movie, they actually give people the illusion of "demonization".
"It's so depressing."
Although she had prepared in advance, Gu Miao, who guessed the essence of this movie, was still taken aback by Plum Blossom Anime.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Is this for kids?
You're kidding me!
This plot, this painting style, this dull and depressing soundtrack, he can't stand it, what do you want those children to think?
Of course!
It's not all about depressing darkness, and the plot also has a more bloody and refreshing part. For example, Yang's mother was sunburned for ten days, and Yang Jian's mother went to the Jade Emperor to take revenge after the funeral.
I have to say, the fights are awesome.
Gu Miao hasn't seen such a smooth and neat anime fight performance for a long time. For this performance alone, it is expected that Plum Blossom Animation will burn more than half of its funds.
If you only read this paragraph, then the children probably like it, and he likes it a lot.
But the question is......
Combining the plot before and after, I didn't like it so much.
Yang Jian's saving his mother is tantamount to killing his mother, and his grief-stricken expression and eyes don't know how many viewers have stung. Some sentimental young girls even let out a small sobbing cry.
It's speechless.
The ghost knows what the screenwriter thinks, do you think that sadistic scenes are easier to deepen the audience's impression?
This statement is true in itself.
At the beginning of the same story, the tragic ending is always more impressive to the audience than the happy ending.
But right......
As the old saying goes: everything is too much!
No matter what kind of emotional foil, the most taboo point is to exert too much force. It's nice to have it once in a while, but you can't do it all the time, right?
I'm tired of crying!
In Gu Miao's view, the biggest problem with the movie "Baolian Lantern" is that the screenwriter is too hard, and he plays tear-jerking from beginning to end, which is a bit too embarrassing.
What's the end?
Yang Jian was alone, followed by a dog, half-squatting in front of his mother's grave, with his back to the sunset......
"I can only say, outrageous!"
Huang Kun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a little emotion: "I remember that in mythological stories, the Three Holy Ladies don't seem to have this kind of character, right?" ”
"Don't talk about myths."
"Don't you get it yet? Although the characters in the movie are all characters from myths and legends, the story has been completely rewritten by the screenwriter. ”
Gu Miao also rubbed her eyes and said, "Modern people polish the modified myths and legends according to their own ideas, which should be described like this." ”
You say it's a myth, except for the characters, the story doesn't match it at all.
It's not a myth that you're there, right......
Yang Jian, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother and Nezha, which of these characters is not a well-known mythological character? The stories of their lives can be told by a seven-year-old child.
The person is still the same person, but the plot is not like that at all, and the characters of these immortals are also the appearance of the screenwriter after reconstruction.
Take Yang Chan as an example.
Gu Miao doesn't know what the mythical Yang Chan looks like, but he is sure that it will definitely not be the distorted character of "people are tired of dogs" in the movie.
"Alright, let's go."
As soon as the movie ended, Gu Miao, who was worried about being recognized by passers-by, hurriedly beckoned Huang Kun to leave the cinema.
But as soon as the two walked a few steps, they heard that the first batch of audience members who left the theater were talking to relatives and friends outside the theater to complain about the movie.
【Fog Grass! Don't ask me to watch it a second time, who can withstand this? It's up to you to see it yourself, I don't dare to look at it anyway. 】
[That's right!] I just came out...... What does it feel like? Is it worth watching? I regret it anyway, I was depressed at night. 】
[Hey? My dear! I just watched a movie, and I'm so sad to see it! Can you come and stay with me? What! You've advanced to the cross...... Feed the baby! Darling? 】
Boy!
Just eavesdropping on the side, Gu Miao and Huang Kun couldn't help but look at each other.
What is the repercussion?
No one said that the movie was ugly, and the general reviews were not bad, at least no one shouted: Geneva refunded the money!
But the answer to a friend is always, "Spare me!" If you want to see it yourself, I won't watch it a second time. ”
Amway? Reverse Amway!
Not only do you not want to watch it a second time, but you even strongly recommend that your friends, relatives, and lovers not watch it.
It's too depressing to ask.
This kind of strange scene, Gu Miao and Huang Kun have seen it many times outside the theater.
Even some later viewers, when they asked the first group of moviegoers about the performance of the "Baolian Lantern" movie, most of them got the advice of "it looks good, but don't watch it".
What a masterpiece!
"Expected, unreasonable."
Huang Kun couldn't help but complain: "Including myself, I seem to think so." ”
"If someone asks me, is the movie "Baolian Lantern" good? Then I will tell him that the movie is really good, but I don't recommend you watch it. ”
"Me too!"
Gu Miao nodded, feeling that what Huang Kun said was reasonable. The movie is a good movie, but he really wouldn't recommend it to his friends and relatives.
The reason, of course, is ......
"Huh! Wait a minute! If I'm not mistaken, you just shed tears, didn't you? ”
"You're crying too!"
Huang Kun stubbornly said: "You still told me that you have sand in your eyes, who do you want to deceive?" Where does the sand come from in the cinema? ”
Gu Miao: "......"
I originally wanted to get the lake over, but I didn't know that Huang Kun didn't eat this set at all. In his words, everyone is crying, which means that the bet contract is not valid.
"No way!"
"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. How can you take back what you say? ”
Gu Miao resolutely disagreed to cancel the gambling contract, so he had to drag Huang Kun into the sewer, "Take out the mobile phone, you send it first, I send it later!" ”
"Okay, let's be ashamed!"
Huang Kun took out his mobile phone, gritted his teeth and said: "Send it, you are not afraid of social death, what am I afraid of?" Really when I can't afford to lose? ”
"I sent it, it's time for you to ......"
Looking at the deserted street, Huang Kun, who had just logged in to Weibo with his mobile phone and said "I am a dog", his brain instantly entered a state of downtime.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Didn't you say that you would fulfill the gambling contract together and be embarrassed together? Why did Mr. Gu disappear after he fulfilled his promise?
