Major theater chains are urgently contacting Huaying Pictures, although "Chicago" is scheduled to be released.

As the only company that is currently on the rise in the theater line of "Chicago", the number of audiences has exploded at this time, and even Cinemark has to cut some other movies that are not watched many times, and temporarily add more screenings to "Chicago".

Inside the cinema.

It's almost time to play!

At the same time, the cinemas were full of seats in the cinemas.

Among them are some of the biggest veterans in the film and television industry, such as Francis. Ford, Martin. Scorsese and other well-known gold medal directors, as well as some film and television industry staff, entertainment media workers, practitioners who specialize in writing film reviews, etc., of course, some of Ji Cheng's relatives and friends in the beautiful country, such as Ji Aiguo, Ji Qing and Cheng Lin went to watch it together, Erickson, Blackstone Group and other companies also issued a lot of movie tickets for employees to watch for free, as well as Madonna's fan group, and some people who are interested in hearing news reports.

Everyone is curious to see how this movie is.

This is especially true for those in the film and television industry.

It is true that many of them are boycotting Ji Cheng's layman's show, but because of this, they have to watch it for the first time, they have to see the flaws and failures of this movie, so as to better attack Ji Cheng for a while, and let the outside world know that not all laymen can cross borders!

New York, California, Shortino Innocence, almost as long as there are Cinemark movie theaters, everyone's eyes are on it!

All eyes are on you!

It is also questioned by 10,000 people!

"Here we go! Here we go! ”

"Didn't you say that the movie wasn't good? Why are you pulling me in. ”

"I haven't seen it, do you know if it's good?"

"Some people say it's not bad."

"Let's read it first, but I guess a script written by a layman will be more than lucky."

"Looking forward to it!"

"Let's see what is different in the movie script written by Ji Cheng, the godfather of world finance!"

"Hehe, it's weird to look good!"

"Chicago is a joke!"

It was under the sound of this chaos that the "Chicago" movie began to be screened!

……

Happy New York.

Sony boss Akio Morita has a lot of money and has a field.

The reason why he chartered the venue was not because he wanted to support Ji Cheng at the box office, but because he didn't want people to know that he went to the movies, and another point, he wanted to let the professional film critics under him pick on him.

"It's coming!"

"The movie is about to start!"

"Where can this movie be seen, and the boss still attaches so much importance to it? In my opinion, it would be better to write some film reviews later, after all, it is said that this movie is not only a script written by a layman, but the shooting cycle is also very short, and it has not been properly announced, from beginning to end it has not exceeded four months. ”

"Yes, let alone three or four months, some movies take several years from project approval to release! Especially in the filming part, the director has to keep improving, three or four months is not enough time for others to shoot a perfect start, Ji Cheng too, can't you do your finances well, you have to buy Columbia Pictures, and act as a layman, if the content of the movie is really bad, I am afraid that he will be sprayed to death! ”

Several critics expressed their opinions.

As soon as the words fell, the movie came to the first act!

In front of me is a scene of Chicago night decades ago, and with the camera slowly advancing in Lockie's dark eyes, the title "Chicago" composed of neon lights is pulled, which is a very innovative opening!

Then the first act of the movie began to play.

In the Onyx nightclub, the black announcer first announced the curtain.

A piece of jazz music sounded melodiously in the theater.

It is accompanied by the gorgeous chandeliers in the movie, and the camera quickly pans through the bustling audience in the hall, the audience watching the jazz band, the black trumpeter, the pianist, the violinist......

This shot gives you a clear view of the background of what you're going to do next, without feeling impatient with procrastination.

Because just thirty seconds later, before anyone could get impatient, the camera flicked to the busy and crowded backstage, and the manager anxiously walked through the crowd: "Did anyone see Sister Kelly?" ”

No one answered.

The manager continued to search and saw an actor who said, "You! Take the stage in five minutes! ”

The black trumpeter on the stage continued to play.

Many people in the theater immediately wondered: "Who is Sister Kelly?" Why didn't it show up? ”

But the picture is all outside the nightclub.

On the snowy road, a pair of women in high heels stepped out of the taxi with long legs, and then played the role of Velma. Kelly's Madonna's voice rang out, "No need to look for it, Charlie. ”

Charlie, the driver: "Thank you. ”

The woman in high heels walked backstage with a suitcase over the stagnant water on the ground and saw a poster for the show on the side of the road, which read: "Sister Kelly: Velma and Veronica." ”

When everyone saw this, it dawned on them, it turned out that this was Sister Kelly?

However, before they could let go of their curiosity, Velma reached out and tore Veronica's name off the poster!

Well?

Why did she tear off the names of her sisters on the poster?

Once again, there was a strong sense of curiosity.

The plot continues, and the manager is anxiously searching.

Velma entered, and the manager greeted him, "Where have you been?" What about Veronica? ”

Velma: "She's not coming tonight." ”

Manager: "But tonight is your sisters' show!" ”

Velma: "Don't worry, I'll do it alone. As he spoke, he dragged his coat into her dressing room and closed the door.

In the dressing room, Velma hurriedly opened the box, which was completely different from the one just now, took out a bloody pistol from it, looked around, and then put the pistol into the bottom drawer, covered the clothes, and then went to wash the blood stains on his hands, and muttered anxiously: "Damn! ”

Afterwards, Velma quickly changed her outfit.

Finally, at the urging of the manager and colleagues, Verma took the stage alone, and began a jazz and dancing cabaret performance in the skeptical eyes of the audience.

"Jazz Life."

"I'm going to put lipstick on my knees......"

The melodious music exploded on the ground, which directly shocked the audience!

It was quiet.

The whole theater was silent all at once!

One woman said, "This ......"

A young man was dumbfounded: "Who just said that this movie is shoddy? ”

The white woman who spoke before was speechless!

A middle-aged black man was surprised: "Is this really a movie made with a script written by a layman?" And it only took three or four months? Especially it is said that this first scene was filmed by Ji Cheng himself, but if you look at the advancement of this shot, the suspense points of the plot, and this jazz music is said to have been written by Ji Cheng himself! O my God! How could this be the work of a layman? Did Ji Cheng really have three heads and six arms like a god in their ancient mythology? A layman's script and the first act of filming are even more exciting than an insider!? ”

The white woman held back for a long time and only said one sentence, "Ji Cheng is really talented!" ”

The people who were called by Akio Morita to watch the movie and prepare to attack Ji Cheng were naturally film and television workers, who knew more about the doorways inside than ordinary people, and knew how amazing the first scene of the movie they saw just now was, so it was precisely because of these understandings that many people in the industry were actually more optimistic about the movie "Chicago" than ordinary audiences at first.

But who would have thought that the reality is completely different from what many industry insiders predicted!

We asked ourselves, if they were the Sony Pictures team, would they be able to write such a gripping script? Can you make such a movie that captures everyone's curiosity right from the start? What's more, the next jazz music is also said to be from Ji Cheng's hand, which is simply an incredible thing, is this really a layman's job?

Not to mention laymen, can they be able to grasp it?

A: Yes!

No!

It's impossible!

No one in Hollywood dared to clap their hearts and say that they would be able to adapt the Broadway opera "Chicago" more successfully than they have seen so far!

……

Chicago.

In a Cinemark cinema in the city.

"O my God! This movie grabbed my appetite at once! ”

"This stage, this set, makes me feel like I'm back in the twenties!"

"This is the first film to be independently filmed and released after Columbia Pictures was acquired, and it is too sophisticated!"

"What a cow! This music is said to be written and arranged by Ji Cheng, which is better than the music made by many professional musicians! ”

"Well, it's really beautiful."

"Nice, do you have movie soundtracks for sale?"

"I can't stop watching this movie, I'm looking forward to the next plot!"

"Hey, isn't the opening performance of the movie as bad as the outside world says? It's even excellent! ”

"yes, let's take a look, I don't know what to do later!"

Act 1 is over!

Soon into the second act!

……

New York, inside a Cinemark movie theater.

Today, many film companies that have business dealings with Joaquin Capital have obtained a lot of movie tickets to prevent employees from coming to watch, such as Ji Cheng's old acquaintance Jack Zhao, Erickson Company boss Matthew, and Blackstone Group boss Peter. Peterson, Ji Aiguo, Ji Qing and Cheng Lin were all arranged in this broadcast hall.

Peter. Peterson was chatting with Schwartzman, "Ji's movie is pretty good. ”

"yes, it's interesting to watch." Schwartzman laughs, "If it weren't for the weekend, I wouldn't have had time to watch it." ”

I'm still singing in the picture.

Cheng Lin was curious: "Brother Ji will also make movies?" ”

Ji Aiguo knows a little more, "Although the eldest brother only filmed the first scene, I heard that he wrote clearly in the script how to shoot each storyboard, which is actually no different from what he filmed." ”

Ji Qing stared at the screen and said: "Although sometimes the speed of speech in the movie is a bit fast, I can't understand it too well, but this movie made by Brother Ji is quite interesting." ”

They talked like this, and they were looking forward to it.

But the few young people next to him didn't talk like that.

A young man with a beard said: "It's very good that this movie is good-looking, but the atmosphere is a little depressing so far, it would be nice if there was a little comedy in it, but Mr. Ji is not a professional screenwriter, and it is good to be able to write the script so well." ”

"yes."

"He can't be as versatile as a professional screenwriter."

Ji Aiguo defends Ji Cheng a lot, and he was a little unhappy when he heard this, "This movie is a song and dance comedy, how can there be no comedy elements in it?" Maybe it hasn't been played yet. ”

One woman had no hope at all and said, "I hope there is." ”

The bearded young man, "Dude, are you looking too highly of Mr. Ji?" Although the script he wrote is good enough, but after all, he is a layman, do you expect him to really write hilarious lines in such a depressing plot? This is impossible, screenwriters who can achieve this level are all masters, and Mr. Ji's first time writing a script is unlikely. ”

Another young man smiled and said, "This is the truth, and we are not belittling Mr. Ji." ”

The long-haired young man next to the aisle said, "Yes, Mr. Ji is still the owner of our company, how can we belittle him like others?" It's just that the level of screenwriting needs to be honed, and it's not that anyone can write all aspects of the script as soon as they come up. ”

That's what everyone thinks.

But at this time, a black humor clip was played in the movie.

At first, everyone didn't react, but then they added a little aftertaste, and suddenly the whole movie theater resounded with "hahaha" laughter.

The mustachioed young man who just said that this movie did not have any comedy all laughed happily.

Perhaps it was this broadcast of the black humor clip that everyone was gradually completely attracted to the movie, no longer whispering and talking, and watching it with all their attention.

The plot push is getting more and more intense.

When the picture of Lockie being pushed into the prison cart was played, almost everyone present raised their hearts to their throats and worried about Locksie!

Jail!

Stage!

Trial!

Stage!

Hospital!

Stage dressing room!

Every scene touches people's hearts!

Until the final scene, when Verma and Lockie appear in the lavish Chicago theater, the film gradually ends with jazz music!

The film is obviously over, but many people are still reminiscing and didn't leave as soon as possible!

Cheng Lin is reminiscing!

The bearded young man was thoughtful!

Matthew and the others also have Velma and Lockie dancing in their heads!

Finally, I don't know who started first.

Smack, smack, smack.

Applause rang out in the theater one after another.

"Beautiful!"

"This movie is simply so good!"

"It turned my perception of musical drama on its head!"

"Ji Chengzhen is so talented! I can make me cry and laugh! ”

Among them, I don't know that the woman said in amazement: "Ji Cheng is too powerful, right?" ”

Terrible?

Is it just awesome?

Matthew, Cheng Lin and others thought so.

But on the other side, everyone in the theater of the Sony bag looked at the end of the movie with a shocked face, and no one said a word, as professional people in the film and television industry, after watching this movie, they naturally know how good this movie is!

Although this is a song and dance drama, it contains all the elements of the Hollywood blockbuster in it, shock and thinking in one, gorgeous audio-visual, irony is the allegory, gorgeous for the table, irony for the inside, the two are integrated and intertwined, playing a colorful movement, leaving a deep impression on people's minds!

Powerful singing and dancing, exciting plots, glamorous heroines, humorous lines.

The other side hidden behind this gorgeous coat is society and the times, human nature and environment, law and morality, wisdom and calmness, which makes people have to sigh that the design of this film is so successful, so successful that professionals in the film and television industry like Sony can't help but have a terrible idea born in their hearts: no song and dance drama can surpass this film in the next 30 years!

The excellence of the film they can accept.

What they are unhappy about accepting is that this film is actually from Ji Cheng's hand!

Everyone has long heard that Ji Cheng is not just as simple as writing a script, the songs, costumes, stage construction, and even all the elements in the film, including the shots, are clearly written by Ji Cheng in the script for the director to shoot, that is to say, any director who comes forward, as long as he shoots according to what Ji Cheng wrote, he will definitely be able to shoot such an excellent song and dance drama!

】

He's just a layman!

actually achieved all aspects of a movie to the master level!

Even if he didn't shoot the plot other than the first act, what is the difference between a script that is detailed to almost every step and shooting it himself?

This man is a genius!

Akio Morita was silent for a long time after reading it, and finally let out a long breath and sighed lightly: "This season is not an ordinary person!" ”

A Sony screenwriter next to him took a breath and said: "This movie is simply an eye-opener for me!" ”

Another producer also smiled bitterly and said: "Ji Cheng is too godly, this is okay?" ”

Oh, yes.

This can also be done?

It is not uncommon for a layman to make movies across borders, but it is strange that he pushed the song and dance drama to the peak as soon as it came up!

Still the content of the movie is not good?

And the audience will feel bad after watching this movie?

Akio Morita felt ridiculous when he thought of his previous thoughts, and he even had a feeling of facing a great enemy for the first time, knowing that Sony Pictures wanted to win Columbia Pictures It was not such a simple problem, but it was very likely that Huaying Pictures would become an upstart in the Hollywood circle!

This founder is none other than Ji Cheng!

As far as the strength of today's movie "Chicago" is concerned, there are not a few in the entire Hollywood!

This is Ji Cheng's cross-border movie made by tickets, but it is the first film launched independently in the real sense after Columbia Pictures was acquired, but this movie is like an earth-shattering shock, teaching people in the film and television industry a good lesson, letting people know that the revue can still be filmed like this!

What a season!

It turns out that they are the ones who are outside the bottom of the well!

Everyone recognized Ji Cheng's level of cross-border filmmaking, and some people were even amazed.

Of course, appreciation is appreciation, recognition is recognition, and now there is another question in everyone's mind, a question that proves whether the movie "Chicago" is good or not, that is, how much is the box office of this movie in the first three days?

After all, the box office says it all!
