Chapter 56: Hypnotic Master Premiere

"Assassin" has hundreds of special effects shots in the whole film, and the post-production cycle is expected to be about half a year, "Hypnosis Master" is a low-cost work, and the start of production is earlier than "Assassin", so it will soon be the official premiere.

On March 28, 2006, the movie "Master of Hypnosis" premiered in Beijing Huaxing Cinema, and director Shen Junsheng led the starring Shen Teng, Song Ji, Mary, Wang Kai, Lu Zhen and other collective appearances. What surprised the reporters who came to interview was that this small-budget work, which was neither a famous director's work nor a big-name actor to participate in, invited three heavyweights such as Huang Jianxin, Liu Yifei, and Li Lianhua to cheer on the stage.

Especially Liu Yifei, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have been released on TV stations recently, plus "Hurricane Rescue", which was popular all over the country last year, and "Dragon Babu" and "The Family of Gold Powder" earlier, now Liu Yifei is extremely popular in the country, not to mention the reporters and ordinary audiences on the scene, but these movie creators are quite flattered.

Background.

Shen Teng rubbed his hands and looked cheap: "Yo, even the little dragon girl is here." ”

After speaking, she looked left and right, and Mary asked, "Brother Teng, what are you looking for?" ”

Shen Teng said: "I'll see if Yang is coming." ”

Liu Yifei was a little unsuitable for Shen Teng's style, and said Li Mu, where did you find this living treasure actor, thinking like this, his eyes unconsciously looked at Li Mu, and the result was that Shen Teng was coaxing Yang Guo, Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu in front of everyone, and everyone present couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in their hearts.

Shen Teng wanted to make two more sentences when he saw this, but he was suffocated by Mary's waist in time.

Li Mu has a good sense of the finished film, so he praised the director Shen Junsheng for the first time backstage.

Shen Junsheng is in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, has a serious background, has solid basic skills, and has worked as an assistant director at most before filming "Hypnosis Master", so he especially cherishes this opportunity and cares about his boss's evaluation of his work.

Li Mu walked over and patted Lao Shen on the shoulder, and encouraged: "The shooting is good, it's even better than I expected, and I will continue to trouble Lao Shen if I have a suitable script in the future." ”

Shen Junsheng was both excited and moved: "Thank you Director Li for giving me the opportunity, I will definitely work hard." ”

"Teacher Lu Zhen, thank you for coming."

"It should be, it should be."

"Song Ji, your acting skills have improved again!" Li Mu smiled again and said to Song Ji.

Song Ji smiled: "This script really suits me, thank you Director Li." ”

Then there was Mary, Wang Kai, and finally Shen Teng.

"Brother Teng, your acting skills are good and promising, it's your mouth ......"

Mary glanced at Shen Teng a little worriedly, she and Shen Teng were not familiar with Li Mu's temperament, so just now Shen Teng owed her to twist his waist, and now listening to Li Mu mention Shen Teng's mouth, Mary said in her heart: What am I worried about? Make your mouth owe!

Shen Teng said casually: "I owe this mouth when I am young, really, I heard people say more than once when I was in school, Shen Teng just has your mouth, if it weren't for the handsomeness of you, I would have found someone to beat you." ”

His words coupled with his demeanor, the entire backstage suddenly burst into laughter, and even Liu Yifei, who was not used to Shen Teng's style just now, was amused.

Li Mu also smiled and said to everyone: "I'll just say that Brother Teng has something, right?" It's a pity that "Hypnosis Master" is not a comedy, and Brother Teng's funny skills have not been fully exerted. ”

Shen Teng immediately said: "That's not simple? Director Li, if you write a comedy script and ask me to shoot it, won't my funny skills be brought into play? ”

What level of scripts did Li Mu write?

The first is "Hurricane Rescue", starring Cheng Long, with a global box office of 270 million US dollars, which is 2 billion yuan when converted into RMB.

The second "Master of Hypnosis" is not mentioned for the time being, and the third screenwriter's work is even more amazing, starring Cheng Long and Li Lian, with an investment of 60 million US dollars!

Don't look at Li Mu's short time in the entertainment industry, but no matter what standard you look at, he is already a proper top screenwriter and director, and the starring role of his script is so good?

As a result, Shen Teng made a request while talking and laughing.

Then Li Mu really groaned on the spot.

Is there really a play?

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said: "I really have a comedy script in my head, so that when you interact with the audience for a while, you make the audience laugh three times, and the starring role of the script is yours." ”

"Three times? It can't be, unless there's a partner. Saying that, Shen Teng leaned over to Mary's side, "Sister Li, you have to help me this time." ”

Mary: "I'm convinced. ”

After a while, the premiere officially began, director Shen Junsheng led the leading actors onto the stage, Shen Teng fell without saying a word, there are many kinds of wrestling, some people no matter how you fall, others just don't laugh, but when Shen Teng is here, he just fell so casually, coupled with his cheap facial expressions, the audience suddenly burst into laughter.

……

The combination of Shen Teng and Mary, of course, completed the task easily, and after the interaction was over, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the next step was the movie screening.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei were seated next to each other, and it wasn't until the movie was officially screened that Liu Yifei leaned over and asked in a whisper, "Hey, what is this film about?" ”

Li Mu: "Ghost films, scary." ”

"Liar." Liu is not unconvinced.

Li Mu: "Believe it or not, the movie has started, and you'll know in a while." ”

After the beginning of the film, there is a female voice singing an English song, and just listening to the voice, a terrifying aura has already hit her. Then there is a pitch-black picture, in which there is a faint outline of a woman, too dark to see clearly, but it is precisely because it is not clear that it gives people a very uneasy association.

The picture gradually brightened, and finally saw clearly, sure enough, it was a woman, separated from the camera by a door, it was night, the woman was wearing a cloak, her eyes were weird, and behind her was a forest that seemed to be able to hide a lot of things, the woman stretched out her hands and pressed them on the glass of the door, and then pushed hard.

"Bang!"

The singing pauses abruptly, and the only remaining images are the sound of a woman pushing the door, and a soundtrack that is very common in horror movies.

The woman moved step by step along the glass window, and suddenly a middle-aged woman entered the perspective inside the house, the woman hid behind the wall, panting, and firmly covering a little girl's mouth with her hand.

Suddenly, the woman outside went around to the door behind the middle-aged woman and the little girl in the house.

……

At this time, Liu Yifei finally came over again and asked, "It can't really be a ghost movie, right?" ”

Li Mu said: "Of course, didn't I tell you a long time ago?" ”

Liu Yifei said: "I thought you lied to me." ”

Li Mu: "Of course I lied to you." ”

Liu Yifei: "Hmm...... Yes? ”

Li Mu: "If there are ghosts in movies, you can't pass the trial, so of course it's not a ghost movie, you won't even know this, right?" ”

Liu Yifei: "Of course I know. ”

In fact, the two women outside the door and inside the door at the beginning of the movie are basically the same person, 20 years ago, a careless woman did not take a good look at her daughter, resulting in her daughter's tragic death in a car accident, since then this woman has been living in deep self-blame for 20 years, and even imagined that her daughter is still alive, and the woman outside the door is the middle-aged woman herself 20 years ago, after the middle-aged woman remembered everything, the young woman took her daughter, and then Shen Teng snapped her fingers, and the middle-aged woman woke up from the recliner.

At this time, there were already audiences in the theater whispering.

"Damn, it's really scary, I know there can't really be a ghost, but I still squint my eyes."

"It's pretty good, this terrifying little atmosphere is quite well rendered."

"I'm not afraid at all, no matter how powerful the ghost is, it can't be a fairy, there is a fairy sister sitting on the scene, what the hell are you afraid of."

"The little dragon girl is not afraid, that is a lifelong ideal is a ruthless master who lives in the grave!"

"Zhao Ling'er is a descendant of Nuwa, and the cows, ghosts, gods, and snakes all retreat."

"Not bad, it's worth recommending."

"It's a bit evil to talk about hypnosis, but it's not bad to accept the setting."

"Look at the beginning well, I don't know what the plot will be like later."
