Chapter 366: "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is powerful
"Talking and Laughing" was released in the last week of the end of May.
The investment in this film is not large, even from production to publicity, plus Jiang Kan's two million composition fees (the singing fee is a commission, so it is not included in the cost), it does not exceed 10 million.
The reason is that the current martial arts movies in Xia Guo are in decline, and the value of stars a few decades ago was still very high, but now the two biggest male and female protagonists are only paid 1.5 million or 1 million.
The other actors are actually priced at about 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and only a few old actors give a little more, and at most they promise to give a little bit of a box office share after the box office is a big hit, so as to save filming funds.
After all, there are many little fresh meat and flowers in the current market who are willing to act cheaply, and first brush their faces in front of the audience.
But just because their price is low doesn't mean they have a low coffee position!
It's just because the stars who specialize in martial arts movies have dropped too quickly in recent years, but their fame is still there, and they are all familiar faces on the screen.
"Teacher Jiang, you're here, please inside, please inside!"
The director and the main creative staff all stood outside the cinema to pick up customers, and they greeted people with heads and faces.
In particular, director Liu Xinping himself is a film director of the Mesozoic Generation, and he is also famous.
But if you want to say it's big, it's not big, his plays don't invite any big names at the level of kings and queens, at most, actors between the first and second lines will occasionally participate in his works, and most of their salaries are paid in installments or box office sharing.
There's no way, directors who like to make martial arts movies are not popular in this era, and the investment they get is very small, and every penny has to be broken in half.
The hero and heroine Jiang Kan are very familiar, the two current second-tier stars, in their early twenties and thirties, are very beautiful, their figures are also very good, and their movements and gestures are all like that, it seems that they have been preparing for this movie for a long time.
So when watching the premiere, I felt that this group of people was still a bit powerful, and with such a small production, it was quite interesting to make a movie of a type that had long been outdated.
The theater screening hall of 100 people is basically full, and there are probably seventy or eighty people, and there are not many audiences outside, only some middle-aged and elderly people who look old, and they are all male audiences.
There were also a few young men, and two or three couples, who didn't know what evil they had fallen into, and they also ran in and sat there chatting and watching the play.
The couples felt more like they were looking for a place to go on a small couple date, and they didn't spend a lot of time talking and laughing at the movies, but they sat on the side and didn't affect the others.
Halfway through the film, the protagonist and the enemy fought for a hundred rounds, and finally took revenge on his blade, and then smiled at the lover who ran to help him with his safety, and a sudden burst of rapid music came to the ears of everyone present!
At the beginning, it was a series of flutes and guzheng sounds!
They are faster and faster, and they are higher and higher!
It's like the protagonist and his enemy just now chasing in the air with light skills, and you chase after me.
Then there is the sound of the zither strumming, the sound is crisp, as if telling the treacherous twists and turns of the rivers and lakes.
At this point, the singing began to appear.
Jiang Kan's deliberately suppressed voice, making his voice a little thicker, sang the lyrics of this song magnificently:
"The sea laughs, the tide on both sides of the strait,
The ups and downs follow the waves, only remember the present day.
The sky is smiling, and the tide is in the world,
God knows who loses and who wins."
The song is full of ancient charm, covering a majestic and heavy atmosphere, and a few lyrics seem to bring the listener into a treacherous but heroic huge rivers and lakes, which is refreshing and refreshing
Nature is magnificent and ever-changing!
「!」
The elderly male viewers who had been staring at the screen and were extremely engaged suddenly felt that they were stunned!
Then, the breath of martial arts that had been absent for many years instantly came to their faces with Jiang Kan's singing, awakening their youthful memories that had been sleeping for many years!
"This, this song is good, the feeling of this river and lake will come up all of a sudden!"
A middle-aged male viewer's eyes were as bright as stars in the night at this time, and he opened his mouth wide and muttered to himself.
"It's really good, I haven't heard such a good martial arts style song for many years, and I have goosebumps!"
The friend sitting next to him also echoed, and subconsciously touched his arm that was already hairy on end, and looked at the big screen in front of him with an expression of surprise that he couldn't believe.
Both of them have been fans of martial arts for decades, and they are neighbors and classmates, and they have liked to watch martial arts since they were children.
I often rent books from bookstores, you borrow the first episode, I borrow the second episode, and then I watch it again after watching it.
When martial arts movies and TV series were popular, I didn't watch those classic masterpieces, even if I got married and formed my own family, I would occasionally meet together to watch movies in the cinema and relive the feeling of martial arts movies when I was a child.
But later, martial arts films declined.
In the past 20 years, there are no good movies worth talking about, and the TV series has gradually changed from fists to flesh, real knives and guns, and "martial arts" with various postures, and has gradually evolved into a "Xianxia" that stands in place and recites moves, and the lower body basically does not move, and it is compared to the gestures.
They were disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.
It wasn't until this time that they saw Director Liu Xinping directing a new martial arts film again, and after hesitating for a long time, they finally decided to believe him again and come here to watch the movie to support this martial arts cadre of the year.
In fact, the plot is still decent, although the taste of martial arts is not particularly sufficient, but it is still vaguely expressed.
Although I didn't find anything particularly exciting in the middle of it, and there was no obvious disappointment, I was quite engaged in watching it.
In fact, they themselves understand that it is not Director Liu's technology that has regressed.
It's that their hearts are different from what they were back then.
The two of them were just young men who had just been strong in blood but had never seen much of the world and had not been tortured by life.
Because of his lack of knowledge, as soon as he comes into contact with the majestic martial arts rivers and lakes, he will unconsciously bring himself into it, imagining that he is also like those chivalrous men with peerless martial arts, which can subdue demons and eliminate demons, preside over justice, kill the rich and help the poor, and return justice to the world.
But as people grow older, they grow up and gain more knowledge.
Only then did I gradually discover that there are so many chivalrous people in life, how can there be so many demons and demons, preside over justice and kill the rich and help the poor.
Especially after finishing studying, entering the society and starting to work, and starting to deal with the people in the society, even after getting married, having children, and having their own family.
They just found out......
In fact, the life of adults is not so narrow, fair, romantic, and killing the rich to help the poor.
This *** life itself is the demon, the demon, and the evil and injustice that they wanted to defeat in their hearts back then.
Hehe......
It's bitter, isn't it.
The struggle between yourself and "life" is the biggest struggle in the world, and it is the rivers and lakes that you can never get out of in life.
The two looked very seriously.
I also listened very carefully.
Therefore, as soon as the theme song of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which is famous all over the world on the earth's own plane, appeared in their ears, the soul of martial arts in their hearts was instantly ignited!
The soul that has been silent for a long time begins to roar!
The blood that has been suppressed by life to the point of being almost humble has begun to boil!
If it weren't for the fact that the movie hadn't been finished now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to help but go back to my hometown and kick the old cow away, pulling the plow and plowing it three acres of land first!
Or rush into the company, press the little young supervisor who thinks he is over fifty years old and no longer dare to resist any exploitation, and really treats himself as a hard-working old scalper who uses and abuses at will, and smashes him so hard that his eight generations of ancestors can't recognize him!
"The rivers and mountains are laughing, the smoke and rain are far away,
The waves sweep away the red and earthly world.
The breeze laughed, but it was lonely,
There is still a night of pride left."
The audience is emotional, but the song continues.
The repetition of the melody and the different lyrics once again come in waves like stacked waves, constantly stimulating the eardrums and brain of the listener, reinforcing the shape of the melody of the song.
The heroic and atmospheric style of music makes people not follow its forbidden mind to stir, as if standing in front of a big river, looking at the rolling waves of the river in front of them.
Just like looking at the grievances and grievances in the red world, the world style is general, which makes people proud, and they can't wait to yell a few times with this song and vent all the anger in their hearts.
"What a song, what a song!"
This is the sincere voice of the audience at this time.
Many people have been inspired by it to recall their beautiful appearance when they were young.
recalled the pride and youth when he was not dragged down by life and crushed.
Standing on the high mountain and looking into the distance, the pride of talking and laughing with the dung of ten thousand households was born spontaneously in the chest!
"Good!"
Some people finally couldn't help it, and let out a roar, completely ignoring whether they would be noticed by the audience around them.
This is a middle-aged man who comes to see the movie alone.
The man's face was sallow, with deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and the wrinkles on his forehead could be clearly seen without looking up.
He was wearing a slightly old black coat and a pair of inappropriate long rain boots on his feet, exuding a faint, but lingering fishy smell, which made the people around him subconsciously stay a few seats away from him.
No one knew that in the pocket of the oil-stained coat was a pair of plastic gloves that had just been removed and had not dried.
He was a fishmonger in a vegetable market not far from the door.
Just after delivering fish to a customer, on the way back on a tricycle, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the promotional poster of "Talking and Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes".
As a veteran martial arts enthusiast, he magically stopped his three-wheeled leg and pulled over the car.
I don't know what kind of force inexplicably drove him, so he put a pair of wet plastic gloves with a little fish scales into his pocket, wiped his hands on his trouser legs a little crampedly, and then bought a movie ticket for the premiere of "Talking and Laughing" in the ticket office.
When he finally regained his consciousness and came to his senses, he found that he was already sitting in a large movie theater, waiting for this martial arts film to play!
"Forget it, it's all here, whatever, let's finish reading it before leaving."
He persuaded himself.
I haven't been to a movie theater in years.
I haven't seen a martial arts movie for many years.
The last time I watched it, I took Xiaofang next door to the humble video hall on the corner to watch it, and I was secretly trying to hold her little hand with sweaty palms......
At that time, my mind was no longer on the TV set with a sword and a sword, but smelled the fragrance on Xiaofang's head beside me, and for the first time, I touched her white and tender little hands, which made me miss her for many years......
And now, these white and tender, cute little hands have long since become black, fat and rough, holding a fish killing knife, killing fish in the vegetable market for decades to make a living
's unbearable appearance......
"The rivers and mountains are laughing, the smoke and rain are far away,
The waves sweep away the red and earthly world.
The breeze laughed, but it was lonely,
There is still a night of pride left."
The singing echoed in the theater's playing room.
It also stirred in his heart.
An old man in his fifties suddenly found that the martial arts dream in his heart was still like a fish lamp that was still bright and shining despite being beaten by the wind and rain, and it had never been extinguished!
His heart, which had long been dry, suddenly seemed to spring up with a clear spring.
Clear water flowed from the spring, gradually nourishing his withered mind.
His heart seemed to be back to the time when he took her hand for the first time and secretly sat in the video hall together.
"Good! Well said, it's a good song!"
Another rough voice suddenly sounded, echoing him!
"Amazing! That's great! That's it, that's it!"
An old man's voice sounded around again, and then there was an irrepressible applause, as if he was about to break his hand!
"Smack! Syllable! Smack!"
"It's so good, I can't help it, it's really so good!"
"Smack! Syllable! Smack!"
"Who wrote this song, it's so well written, the lyrics are sung to my heart!"
"Smack! Syllable! Smack!"
"It's good, it's so good, the sea is laughing, the tide on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs with the waves, only remember the present day!"
"Smack! Syllable! Smack!"
Unconsciously, I don't know when, someone followed Jiang Kan's singing voice in the film and sang loudly.
Then, one person, two people, three people, all sang along.
Four people.
Five people.
Six people.
All of them.
Everyone in the theater sang loudly at this time.
If you can't remember the lyrics, you use "lalala" instead.
The passionate and high-pitched singing voice is like a stream flowing down the mountain, gradually converging together, forming a rushing river!
The high singing voice stirred and swirled in the theater, like a volcano that had been suppressed for an unknown number of years and was about to erupt!
Everyone, including the actors, stars, directors, and crew members who participated......
Even Jiang Kan himself no longer suppressed his emotions for a moment, and sang loudly along with the song in the film!
"The rivers and mountains are laughing, the smoke and rain are far away,
The waves sweep away the red and earthly world.
The breeze laughed, but it was lonely,
There is still a night of pride left."
"The people laugh, no longer lonely,
Pride is still smiling infatuately.
......"
"Lala, lala......"
"Lalala, la, la......"
