Chapter 367: The Movie Exploded!

The premiere of "Talking and Laughing" was a great success.

Especially when the theme song "A Laugh in the Sea" was played several times in the film, there was a chorus from the audience, and the momentum was amazing.

Even at the end of the film, the audience spontaneously stood up and erupted in warm applause and cheers for the crew, which lasted for more than a minute.

"Thank you, thank you......

Feeling everyone's enthusiasm, director Liu Xinping had already burst into tears at this time.

An old man in his fifties held a microphone in one hand and wiped his tears with the other, crying so much that he couldn't straighten his waist.

He has made martial arts films all his life, and he is highly respected in the first ten or twenty years, and the box office is also quite good.

But later, martial arts films declined, his films gradually fell out of attention, and the box office dropped greatly, and he became what people call "Xiao Liu".

Later, when he got older, he was called "Lao Liu" again.

The films filmed also had to bow to the market and turn into everyone's favorite police films, comedies and fantasy films.

This time, he was also invited by Dahe Pictures, and after more than 20 years, he once again took charge of the guide of martial arts films, intending to draw a less than perfect end to his youthful thoughts.

The shooting cost of five million, even the actors' salaries, what a difficult task.

Fortunately, martial arts films are in decline, and the actors who became famous for playing this type of film are not so valuable now, and the strict control of entertainers in Xia Guoguo has led to the fact that the salary is not inflated, so these expenses are barely enough to arrange a small-cost martial arts film.

So he still gritted his teeth and persevered, almost relying on an obsession with martial arts, he insisted on filming this film all the way.

I thought that when this film was put into the market, it would be like a pebble thrown into a lake, and it would pass after listening to it, and it would not cause any huge fluctuations.

Unexpectedly, a Jiang Kan was killed halfway through, and composed such a wonderful song "A Laugh in the Sea" for the film, which made the artistic level of the whole movie soar several streets in an instant!

Look at the smiles of the audience.

Listen to their enthusiastic applause and cheers of surprise.

Look at the tears in the corners of the eyes of those old men who are over forty or fifty years old.

To dreams, to youth.

This martial arts film of mine is not a mortal thing, it is not a flash in the pan, and it is not a small pebble thrown into the lake!

He stood up and walked onto the stage, choked up and clapped with everyone, bowing to the audience, but couldn't say "thank you".

Because his throat and mouth were already full of tears, he was afraid that as soon as he spoke, he would not be able to help crying.

"Well done, Director Liu!"

An audience member who knew him shouted from the audience.

"This movie is well made! Of course, the theme song is better!"

Another spectator shouted along.

"It's a good shot, I haven't seen such a martial arts movie that I enjoy for many years!"

The owner of the fish shop slapped his palms and shouted at the top of his voice.

"With this theme song, it is simply the most perfect martial arts in our minds!"

One of the two old buddies who ran away in the name of buying vegetables also shouted, when "A Laugh in the Sea" came out just now, he was so excited that his thighs were about to swell!

"Liu Dao Niubi! The theme song is also awesome!"

The old brother next to him also shouted, but the focus was on the theme song.

Anyway, for a while, the theater where the premiere was held was full of people, like a boiling hot pot, and like a volcano gushing hot magma, and the crew members and actors also came to the stage to thank them, resulting in a rising level of excitement, as prosperous as Chinese New Year's Eve when firecrackers were sparked when I was a child.

"Huh? How could this theater be this

What's the excitement?"

Although the door of the theater was closed, the noise they made came through the door, which made the audience passing by outside curious!

"What kind of movie is this, let me see......

They looked at the poster erected in the doorway.

"Yo? It's still a martial arts movie? Can a martial arts film make such a big move? Haven't they all disappeared for decades?"

Passers-by and spectators curiously looked through the closed door, trying to see something.

", the cheers inside are so loud, is it a celebration?"

"It's just a martial arts movie, who still watches martial arts now, it's too outdated, right?"

"And this name ...... "Talking and Laughing Between the Rivers and Lakes", this name is so earthy! I think it would be more domineering to change the joke to "laughing proudly"? "Smiling Proud Jianghu", this name is more pleasant, right?"

"It's not a question of whether the name is dirty or not, no one has made such outdated genre films for many years, who still watches these young people now......

"Boom!"

I don't know what happened in the closed theater, and a louder noise rushed out through the thick door, interrupting the audience's words.

They were so curious that one of the lads finally couldn't help it, and quietly pushed open a little crack in the door and stuck his head inside.

only to find that the people inside, under the command of a handsome middle-aged man on the stage, sang a majestic and ancient song together!

"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 I feel that there is a thousand weather in front of me!

"Wow, this song...... What a sharp look?"

The young man unconsciously tucked half of his shoulder into it, wanting to feel the atmosphere of the chorus of the audience closer!

"Hey, you open the door wider, we also want to see what's going on inside, it's just a martial arts movie, it's really that big...... it!"

A middle-aged man in the back grabbed the shoulder of the young man in front of him, and was pushed by the curious crowd behind, and the whole person was pushed into the door by "brushing", and he was stunned for a moment when he saw the chorus of the audience!

"Let's get the guy in front, we want to see what's going on inside, too?"

The back wave pushed the front wave, and after a while, seven or eight curious spectators poured in.

And the audience who sang in the chorus was not affected by them, but continued to sing with Jiang Kan, and the clever sound engineer of the crew even dialed the projectionist's phone and asked him to replay the song for the first time in the middle of the film, and the clip that has been played for the longest time, so that everyone can sing with an accompaniment!

After a while, the screen that was playing the end credits lit up again, and the first appearance of "A Laugh in the Sea" was replayed!

In an instant, the majestic singing voice appeared in front of everyone!

"Wow!"

This time, not only the original audience in the theater, but even the new audience who were guarding the door just now with the unknown truth, and later pushed in by more and more back waves, were also shocked by this sudden commotion!

Almost in a matter of seconds, the song's rhythmic tone was engraved in the hearts of these new audiences, as if a new stream had joined the rushing river, and their emotions became passionate and surging!

"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 high singing sounded again, and the crowd gathered outside the theater

More and more people have crowded in front of this theater, wanting to know what is going on inside and why so many people come to watch.

Among them, there is the owner of this theater himself.

"Xiao Zhang, what kind of movie is playing in this theater, and why does it attract so many people?"

He grabbed a staff member who was also in front of him, wanting to see what was going on.

"Who, don't pull me...... Oh, it's the boss...... It's a martial arts movie playing here, and it seems to be called ...... It's called ...... "Talking and Laughing Between the Rivers and Lakes"?"

Xiao Zhang was still angry when he was first pulled, who didn't look so long to stop himself from watching the excitement?

As a result, as soon as he turned his head and found that it was the boss, the anger on his face disappeared in an instant, and he was replaced by a respectful smile.

The boss didn't care about his face-changing technique, but asked suspiciously:

""Talking and Laughing"? Martial arts films?"

"Are martial arts films such a big battle now? There are so many people watching?"

He looked at Xiao Zhang, then at the crowd, and muttered to himself, feeling that something was wrong with the whole person, and his brain was not enough!

"It's true! There was continuous applause at the beginning, and then they sang a song together, which seemed to be the theme song of the film! Then it was so loud that it was heard by the passing spectators, and they leaned over to hear what was going on, and then because there were more and more people, the people in front of them were pushed in......

This theater employee saw the cause and effect very clearly, and spoke in an orderly manner, so that his boss could understand what was going on in the shortest possible time.

"Hmm...... It seems to be a hit! Great, Xiao Zhang, you immediately notify the people who arrange the film in the theater, and ask them to immediately arrange the empty theaters to put this film, and then arrange for someone to announce the ...... Forget it, I'll go to this in person! Hurry up, we must take advantage of the curiosity and enthusiasm of the audience immediately, and we can't waste it!"

After the order, the owner of the theater immediately dragged his fat body, ran to the front desk of the theater with agility and speed that did not suit his size, grabbed a loudspeaker placed there, and shouted loudly:

"Dear customers, dear customers! The newly released popular martial arts film "Talking and Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes" in this theater has been warmly praised by everyone, and we have decided to expand the scale of the screening and immediately increase the number of theaters!"

"Customers in need should purchase tickets at the ticket office, and this film has been temporarily increased by three ...... No, the five screening halls are used to meet your viewing needs, please do not crowd and queue up rationally to buy tickets for admission......

With the explanation from the loudspeaker of the theater owner, the melon-eating crowds crowded at the door of the premiere of "Talking and Laughing" suddenly stopped crowding!

A small group of people immediately got out of the way and rushed to the ticket hall at a trot!

"Quick, give me a ticket for the "Laughing Jianghu" just now!"

The spectator who rushed to the front, with a gossipy and curious expression on his face, waved the banknote and reached into the ticket window, shouting loudly.

"Get me one too, what kind of film is so popular, I must see it in front!"

"Give me two! I'm going to get a good seat!"

"Do you still have tickets?" Give me three and my girlfriend and her girlfriend won't be bored this afternoon!"

"Give me one, yes, all of a sudden, there's a hit movie, I have to go in and watch it and write a review as soon as possible!"

"Two two, two! Hurry up, we're going to write a report before tonight, it's been a long time since we've encountered this kind of sudden hit movie, we must be the first to report!"

"Don't crowd, don't crowd, there are five screening halls, some are tickets! Damn, you've stepped on my feet!"

In an instant, the huge ticket hall was crowded with people in front of the five ticket windows!

The herd effect is frantically driving these audiences who have not yet decided what movie to watch today, and they have begun to buy tickets for this movie called "What to Laugh at".

Even if you know that it is a martial arts movie, but so what?

Everyone is rushing to see it, maybe it's promoting martial arts, but in fact, it's a time travel or fantasy, the city?

I don't understand, I don't need to understand, so many people grab tickets and want to see it, since I encountered such a big emergency, if I don't join in to participate in the grand event, am I embarrassed to say that I am a hipster of the times?

It doesn't matter what he's playing, after watching it, I'll go back to bragging tonight, and when people say, "Huh? In the afternoon, it seems that a popular movie suddenly appeared in a certain theater, and tens of thousands of people watched and grabbed tickets!" , you can say lightly, "Oh? Are you talking about the hit movie in so-and-so theater? I was there! I also grabbed the first batch of tickets to watch it!"

Hey, this feeling of pretending to be forced is really worse than bad! It's exciting to think about!

"Don't worry, don't worry, five theaters are open at the same time, five hundred seats, enough!"

After the chubby theater owner urgently arranged three free theaters, and the two theaters that were originally used to show non-selling literary films were temporarily replaced with "Talking and Laughing Jianghu", he could finally lean on the cabinet at the front desk and gasp for breath, while taking out the hand towel in his pocket to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.

Occasionally, he would pick up the horn and shout a few times to maintain order.

Of course, he also deliberately opened all the doors of the theater and pointed his loudspeaker in the direction of the door.

In this way, his shouts and greetings were like a propaganda machine, attracting the attention of those passers-by who had never thought of watching a movie at the door, and they all walked in to see what kind of movie it was, which was able to make the people in the theater use the loudspeaker to maintain order so excitedly!

"Wife, you see so many people crowded into this theater, should we also go and see what new hit movies are coming out?"

One of the middle-aged bigwigs with his wife like a flower and jade in his arms was also attracted by the boss's horn, and he also said curiously to his wife as he watched the continuous crowd of people pouring into the theater.

"Okay, since you've met it, let's go take a look!"

Women's nature is gossip, and a movie that so many people have to squeeze in to watch must be a good movie!

A young couple next to them heard their conversation, and they all looked at each other, then tacitly held hands, turned a corner, and walked to the door of the theater.

Seeing that more and more people were entering the theater, the boss had a smug smile on his face:

"Fortunately, I was resourceful and decisive, and keenly grasped this rare opportunity! In this way, no matter what the quality of this film is, it will quickly set off a frenzy of heated discussions!"

His eyes were also starry with excitement, and looking at these crazy influx of customers, it was as if he saw shiny banknotes beckoning to him frantically!
