Chapter 259: A stunning reversal

The day after the release of "Wushuang", Sang Shaolong was finally able to walk into the theater to watch Xu Ji's movie as he wished.

Twenty-four hours after its release, the first-day box office of "Wushuang" and "The Demon Record of the Great Song Dynasty" and the ratings of Petal.com were also released.

Sure enough, as many people predicted, although the reputation of "The Demon Record of the Great Song Dynasty" is not very good, it still managed to get a horror box office of more than 200 million.

As for "Wushuang", with such a low number of films, it only received more than 40 million box office.

However, in the rating of Petal Online, "Wushuang" reached a high score of 8.7 points.

"The Great Song Fu Demon Record" is only on the verge of passing 6.4 points.

It is very likely that it will fall below 6 points before it is completely released.

This score is expected for Sang Shaolong, who has already watched the movie.

Even in his opinion, with such a high investment budget, it turned out to tell such a story, which is obviously a failure, and now this score is still high.

As for "Wushuang", Sang Shaolong can only make his own evaluation after watching it.

......

Walking into the theater, the attendance rate of "Wushuang" made him a little surprised.

It seems that the number of films scheduled is too small, everyone can only buy the same show, and the scene is almost full.

The attendance rate of this game has even reached more than 90% by the naked eye.

Sang Shaolong didn't like to eat and drink much when he watched the movie, so he didn't bring anything with him, and after sitting down, he quietly waited for the movie to start.

It didn't take long for the lights to dim.

First, the logo of the producer of Tongji Entertainment appeared.

And at the beginning of the movie, it is a scene from a prison somewhere abroad.

In such a difficult environment as a prison, the male protagonist played by Wan Rongli actually used leftover fish bones as a pen, and added the ash scraped off the wall as paint, and drew a fake stamp.

After the stamp was drawn, with the help of his fellow inmates, he secretly sent a letter.

And somewhere at this time, a woman opened the letter, which contained only a thin sheet of paper and the location of the prison.

Soon, a team of police from Hong Kong City rushed abroad and rescued the male protagonist Li Wen played by Wan Rongli.

......

At the beginning of the movie, it is actually the easiest place for the audience to ignore the key information.

After all, at this time, everyone has not officially brought into the plot, and I don't know what kind of story the movie will tell.

But Sang Shaolong is different, as a professional film critic, he has become very serious since the beginning of the movie.

Install the latest version. 】

It can be seen that the male protagonist Li Wen played by Wan Rongli was obviously arrested and locked up in a prison abroad.

And the reason why he made up the mail to send the letter was naturally to hope that someone would save him.

It was likely that the woman in the letter came, but for some reason, it was not the woman who came, but the police from the port city.

At this time, the plot continues to develop.

Li Wen was taken back to Gangcheng and interrogated at the same time.

His identity and background, as well as the reasons why the Port City police value him so much, are slowly beginning to emerge.

He is a subordinate of the painter, and as for the "painter", he is the boss of the famous counterfeit banknote syndicate.

Li Wen was very excited, obviously very afraid of his boss painter.

I kept emphasizing that I couldn't say it, otherwise I would have killed a lot of people.

As soon as his words fell, a huge explosion broke out at the police station where Li Wen was interrogated.

At the same time, the picture went black, and the movie title of "Wushuang" appeared on the big screen.

......

"The protagonist is dead?"

Sang Shaolong was stunned for a moment.

But soon the development of the plot made him react, and the explosion just now was just Li Wen's imagination.

Li Wen didn't say anything, but soon someone came to bail him out.

The other party is Li Wen's girlfriend Ruan Wen, and he also brought a very strong team of lawyers.

Sang Shaolong also noticed very quickly at this time that the woman named Ruan Wen played by She Yue at this time was not the person in the painting sent by Li Wen before.

And listening to the tone is not here to rescue.

"You just have to tell me about the painter and you're good to go."

"The person I love the most was killed by the painter, and I have the right to know, right?"

It was under such circumstances that Li Wen began to recall the story of becoming a painter.

And Sang Shaolong only realized at this time that it seems that the movie is a flashback.

......

Many years ago, Li Wen and Ruan Wen were abroad and were a down-and-out literary couple.

The poor couldn't even pay their electricity bills at one point.

However, Nguyen Van Wen's paintings were recognized by the agent and successfully opened his own art exhibition.

But Li Wen can still only make a living by imitating world famous paintings.

At the exhibition, Ruan Wen also released Li Wen's paintings and exhibited them together.

But I didn't expect to be insulted by the man who suddenly appeared at the art exhibition.

He also said that the name of the painter of this painting is not called a photocopier, it is all an imitation of the copy, and there is no content of its own.

The whole painting is pieced together.

Ruan Wen angrily splashed the other party with wine and kicked the man out, while Li Wen rushed out to apologize for his girlfriend.

Unexpectedly, the other party was originally asking for Li.

This person is the painter played by Wei Yifa.

He invited Li Wen to join his counterfeit banknote syndicate.

After Li Wen struggled, he didn't want to continue to fail like that, so he resolutely gave up love, burned his paintings, and became the painter's subordinate.

......

The next plot begins to revolve around how to make counterfeit banknotes.

Inspired by the fact that Chinese painting can be uncovered into three, the painter came up with the idea of combining three into one and sandwiching the watermark in the middle.

At the same time, there are three problems to be solved: the printing press, acid-free paper, and color-changing ink.

The printing press went to buy the scrap of a certain national government.

Acid-free paper, the raw material for printing money, was found to be used in the address book by the United States.

Although two items were solved, the most critical color-changing ink could not be helped.

You can only go and grab it.

And in the process of robbing, Li Wencai saw the painter's ferocity and murder for the first time.

It scared him a lot.

"I took you to this stage, you not only have to be the protagonist, but also Miss Ruan's protagonist!"

......

At this point, the film seems to be very fluid as a whole, and there are no obvious loopholes in the plot.

The most important thing is that the process of making counterfeit banknotes is interesting to watch.

Sang Shaolong's evaluation of "Wushuang" at this time is also very good, and so far, it can be regarded as a very wonderful commercial film.

And although Xu Ji is making a movie for the first time, his mastery of the rhythm of the plot gives people a very silky feeling.

is not muddy at all, unlike some directors who originally made TV series and couldn't change the way they used to tell stories slowly and in no detail after making movies.

In the end, the movie is so long, it can't be compared with the length of the TV series.

But the difficulty has not decreased in the slightest, but has increased.

But if that's all it takes, this movie doesn't deserve a high score of 8.7 on Petal.com, right?

Sang Shaolong feels that most of the plots in the back will have unexpected reversals and more exciting features.

......

Sure enough, with the success of counterfeit banknotes, the painter's business began to boom all over the world.

In addition to Li Wen, there is also Uncle Xin, a veteran who follows the painter's father, in the team, the other party has a happy family, and the relationship between Li Wen and Li Wen is also very good.

Li Wen also began to slowly integrate into the team.

Soon, the last deal arrived.

In a certain triangle, the painter brought Li Wen and others to meet the general.

And it was in the middle of this that Li Wen finally figured out the way to mix color-changing ink.

At the same time, I met a special woman, Xiuqing.

Sang Shaolong saw it very keenly at this time, and the Xiuqing in front of him was the person in Li Wen's painting at the beginning.

The business did not seem to be going well, and the general not only repented, but also forced them to stay with him, teaching the general's people how to fake dollars before leaving.

But in fact, the general is the painter's father-killing enemy, and this time the painter is here to take revenge.

directly took Li Wen and others to kill all the generals.

This shootout scene made many people in the theater adrenaline soar.

In particular, Wei Yifa was once famous for gunfight scenes in Hong Kong films, but this movie can be regarded as a good addiction for the audience, and the emotional attributes are full.

In the process, Li Wen also saved Xiuqing, and gave the other party plastic surgery to repair the burned face.

The painter also agreed with Li Wen to take Xiuqing with him and gave Xiuqing a fake passport.

changed his name for Xiuqing, and he was called Ruan Wen, which is the same as the name of Li Wen's ex-girlfriend.

Obviously, the painter wanted to keep Li Wen, so he found a replacement for Ruan Wen for him.

......

For the next year, the painter's team disappeared and spent money everywhere.

However, two more unexpected things happened along the way.

The first is that Xiuqing found out that Ruan Wen turned out to be Li Wen's ex-girlfriend, and knew that he was just a substitute for the other party.

Second, it was Uncle Xin, the old man in the team, who was almost found out because he secretly used counterfeit money to buy antiques, violating the rule that he couldn't use the dollars he made, and was directly executed by the painter.

The rules of the trade are the rules of the trade, and when he heard that the painter was planning to attack Uncle Xin's family, Li Wen finally couldn't bear it.

But apparently he was not at all a match for the painter.

Next, the painter set up a bureau to kill the police who had been tracking them down.

He also told Li Wen that he was going to hand over everything to him, and he didn't dry his hands.

also helped kidnap Ruan Wen and the other party's current fiancé, as long as he kills Ruan Wen's fiancé, he can become the protagonist of his life.

But Li Wen didn't do it, but pointed the gun in his hand at the painter.

The painter stared at each other.

"A brother, you pointed a gun at me?!!"

The sudden fire caught people off guard.

The members of the painter's team shot each other to death, and even the painter was shot in the chest several times by Li Wen himself, apparently dead.

Li Wen and Xiuqing fled to the villa that the painter had bought for them.

saw the news that Uncle Xin's family was killed.

Yes, the painter is not dead.

The other party will definitely kill Ruan Wen and kill him, Li Wen hurriedly left Xiuqing.

But I didn't expect to be reported for using counterfeit banknotes and arrested halfway.

When he was captured, he saw the legendary painter who had come back from the dead.

......

Li Wen's story is finished, and the plot of the other party drawing stamps in prison at the beginning continues.

But at this time, Sang Shaolong vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Li Wen must have hidden something.

But for a while, I couldn't think of anything unreasonable.

Although the memories are over, the plot continues.

According to Li Wen's description, the police station in Hong Kong City soon drew the portrait of the artist and began to issue wanted notices.

As for Li Wen, he was successfully released on bail by Nguyen Van and left.

A man who looked exactly like the painter's family, wearing a police uniform, was caught red-handed.

"Sir, I'm number 28818, Wu Zhihui, the commander of the sub-bureau!"

Hearing this, the people around who were loaded with guns and ammunition were stunned.

At this time, everyone in the theater was also a little unresponsive.

However, Sang Shaolong had a feeling of sudden realization at this time.

Sure enough, the next picture flashed back into the story that Li Wen recalled, and some of the things in it did really happen.

But in fact, the so-called painter is no one else, it is Li Wen himself.

There is no so-called other person at all, Li Wen is the peerless painter who is good at fraud and concealment.

Everyone was tricked by him!

He concocted such a story and made himself a person who was so-called threatened by the painter.

And the most exciting reversal of the film followed, that is, after Xiuqing was burned and disfigured, Li Wen made her plastic surgery into Ruan Wen's appearance.

In other words, the person who came to bail Li Wen before was actually not Ruan Wen at all, but Xiuqing.

No wonder Li Wen wanted to send the letter to Xiuqing, he had seen each other twice in total, but he could still clearly remember Xiuqing's original appearance.

Li Wen is indeed talented and has the ability to never forget.

It's as logical as the portrait of the painter he has produced, the driver of his own car that he has only seen once.

Sang Shaolong didn't expect such a big reversal at the end of the film, and the whole person was obviously deceived by Xu Ji.

I didn't even suspect that the story told by Li Wen was fake.

Of course, the end of the story also gives a lot of room for interpretation.

For example, the dialogue between Li Wen and Xiuqing is very interesting.

Xiuqing asked Li why he could remember his past so clearly after only seeing it twice.

Li asked and replied: "Maybe it's talent, or what?" Is it love? ”

also because of what Li asked, Xiuqing felt that she was still a stand-in, so she chose to die with the other party.

Later, the police found the real Ruan Van and told the other party that the painter who killed his husband had been arrested, but when the policeman He Weilan took out a photo of Li Wen and asked the other party.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Wen was not very familiar with Li Wen at all.

It's not the former boyfriend and girlfriend that Li Wen said.

She only vaguely remembered that this man had lived next door to her many years ago.

What is true and what is false is really embarrassing.

......

The film is completely over, but at this time, Sang Shaolong has been in his position until the lights are completely turned on before he comes back to his senses.

This movie is really not that simple.

The reversal of the plot really makes people feel like they are screaming.

And he felt like he had overlooked a lot of details.

I didn't pay attention at the time, and it passed by at a glance.

At this time, Sang Shaolong had already strengthened his plan, he must brush Xu Ji's "Wushuang" twice and three times, and find the overlooked details in it.

......
