Chapter 119: Top Rating
Han Han looked at a group of audience members who coaxed Li Mu to sing, and shook his head.
Most ordinary people are like this, it's easy to miss the point when doing things, Li Mu is obviously a good director and writer, but you just want to listen to him sing.
It's like when you finally muster up the courage to step into the red light district, but your mind is full of how to pull a woman who has lost her footing.
That's right, Han Han came to the premiere of "How to Steal the Key", and I don't know where this person got the ticket, anyway, it wasn't given by the filmmaker.
A friend texted Han Han this morning that Cheng Long Lilian's latest masterpiece "The King of Kung Fu" has premiered, and you have time to watch it.
At lunch today, a friend sent a text message to Han Han saying that Zhou Xingzhi's new movie "Yangtze River No. 7" premiered, and you have time to go and see it.
So in the afternoon, Han Han managed to get a ticket for the premiere of "How to Steal the Key".
He just wants the movie to start early now and then go home and write a review. If the movie is good, he will praise it, and if the movie is not good, he will scold, he doesn't want to listen to Li Mu sing.
It's not interesting to play what is the best singing in the director world, and the best allegro in the singing world.
At this time, I heard Li Mu's voice on the stage: "Actually, I sing ordinary, I make movies."
"No, you killed the pig!"
"I'm not good at making movies, I'm good at throwing knives?!"
"Flying is the flying of making movies, and knives are knives of making movies!"
"Hahaha......
Han Han couldn't help but shake his head again.
In other words, where is the laughing point of this sentence?
That's right, you Li Mu imitated the lines in Zhou Xingzhi's movie, how funny? Can you take it out and let me see?
"Next, I'm going to give you this accidental song "Ordinary Road", because I think this song really matches the theme of our movie today."
[Wandering.]
On the road
Are you leaving
ViaVia
……】
Han Han crossed his arms and looked at Li Mu on the stage.
He could see that Li Mu sang very hard, but compared to Li Mu's talent as a director and writer, his musical talent was really ordinary and ordinary.
At this time, I heard Li Mu continue to sing:
[I have crossed mountains and seas
It also passed through the sea of people
Everything I ever had
In the blink of an eye, they were all scattered like smoke
I was lost, disappointed, lost all directions
Until you see the ordinary, the only answer
When you're still fantasizing
……
I used to ruin everything I had
Just want to leave forever
I have fallen into infinite darkness
I want to struggle and can't extricate myself
I used to be like you, like him, like the weeds and wild flowers
Desperate and longing
also crying and laughing
……】
In fact, what the song "Ordinary Road" sings can be summed up in two words, that is, "experience".
It's Pu Jian's experience, Han Han's experience, and everyone's experience.
For example, Han Han, who became famous at a young age and became a household name, from a genius young writer to an opinion leader to a racing driver, he seems to have achieved most of the he once bragged about, like a winner in life.
But as the saying goes, "what you see is what I want you to see", the sadness and helplessness, frustration and doubts behind what people ignore are also Han Han. ….
So the audience who coaxed to sing didn't react yet, but Han Han broke the big defense first, how could anyone write his mood better than himself? This is obviously the deepest thing in his heart!
It's really that every lyric is written to the heart.
[The wind blows
There is still a long way to go
Where your story goes
……】
Suddenly, Han Han burst into tears.
People are like that.
Sometimes there is a moment when my heart is suddenly touched, and maybe when I look back afterwards, I feel that I was very inexplicable at that time, but at this moment, I can't control the feeling of wanting to cry.
The interactive session was followed by the film screening session, and the film officially began as some of the lights in the screening room were turned off.
At the beginning of the movie, the heroine Liang Wei played by Gao Yuanyuan announced that she was going to get married, but she only set a wedding date, as for who the groom is, no one knows yet, including Liang Wei herself.
Next to appear is the killer Zuo Xin played by Huang Bo, a top "killer" with a slight cleanliness habit.
Every time he "kills", he puts on a piece of classical music, and meticulously plans every step of "killing".
At the beginning of the movie, after killing people cleanly, he finds that his cuffs and wrists are stained with blood, so he decides to find a nearby bathhouse to take a bath.
The last to appear is the young actor Wu Jie played by Shen Teng, a man who has made a mess of himself both in his career and in love.
35 years old, still renting in a cramped and oppressive rental house, the landlord called to collect the arrears of rent, my girlfriend can't live such a life, and lives in despair all day long.
With no money, no girlfriend, no hope, and even suicide failed, and just found that there was still a bath ticket in his pocket, so he decided to take a shower before committing suicide next time.
How far has this man failed?
failed to the point that he didn't even have the soap to use in the bath, so he wanted to secretly use the soap of the old man next to him, and he happened to meet the old man and reached out to get it, so the hands of the two touched together, and the soap fell on the ground and slid out for a long time, just at the feet of the killer played by Huang Bo.
Then Huang Bo, who was naked, was directly thrown to the ground, and then fell heavily to the ground, the back of his head was knocked hard, and he fainted, and Huang Bo's key just slipped to the feet of the little actor played by Shen Teng.
The killer played by Huang Bo was sent to a nearby hospital, but when he woke up, he found that he had amnesia, and then the identities of the killer and the little actor were reversed.
The little actor lived in the luxurious villa of the "killer", and the "killer" regarded himself as a little actor.
And so a ridiculous story officially began.
When the movie showed Huang Bo stepping on soap with his bare ass and throwing himself into the sky, the whole theater went crazy with laughter!
How classic is this passage?
For example, there is this paragraph in the original RB version, this paragraph in the Korean version, this paragraph in the Huaxia version, and even this paragraph in Conan.
That's right, the 20th anniversary theatrical version of "Detective Conan" is a collaboration of this film, and the timeline is just one year after the movie takes place, which can be counted as a sequel to the movie. ….
This also confirms the classicism of this movie to some extent.
In addition to being hilarious, this movie is also very heart-wrenching.
Wu Jie, played by Shen Teng, lived in the mansion of the "killer", and then the mansion became dirty and messy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The "killer" lived in Wu Jie's dirty rental house, and then the rental house was clean and tidy at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
When Wu Jie returned to the rental house again, when he looked at the small but warm nest in front of him, a feeling of shame instantly hit him.
When the "killer" revealed in front of Liang Wei played by Gao Yuanyuan and Wu Jie played by Shen Teng that "he" had thought about suicide, when he began to list how many failures he had before his amnesia, Shen Teng's face as Wu Jie turned green.
"I used to be too wasteful! The suicide notes are so badly written, no wonder I want to kill myself!"
"When you reach the age of 35, you don't have a regular job, and it's normal to want to die if you live alone in a place like this, right?"
Watching the "killer" seriously review himself before his amnesia, and looking at the drowning expression of Wu Jie played by Shen Teng, the audience felt that it was really heart-wrenching and funny.
But then the "killer" quickly adjusted, and he began to pick up the life of "Wu Jie" again.
He found out that his "former self" was an actor, so he began to study acting seriously.
I ran the theater, played a trick, participated in training, and borrowed two stacks of books from the library to practice and study theory at the same time.
Gradually, the situation that originally seemed to have a hellish start is slowly improving, and the "killer" not only won the appreciation of the director on the set, but even developed feelings with Liang Wei played by Gao Yuanyuan.
On the contrary, Wu Jie, played by Shen Teng, began to live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, and spend a lot of money on the "killer", which was very comfortable, until he was finally forced to get involved in the work of the "killer".
And then his life was messed up by him again.
If you want to talk about the best part of the whole film, you have to count the part where the "killer" finally recovers his memory.
It turns out that the killer is not a real killer, and those who are rumored to have been killed by him are not really dead, everything is acting.
Next, the two of them are going to act in a scene to deceive the real underworld, but who knows that Wu Jie played by Shen Teng has extremely exaggerated acting skills.
When the killer criticized his acting skills, he said that his acting skills were based on Strasberg's methods.
The "killer" finally couldn't take it anymore, so he mocked:
"The Strathberg book in your room only read the first 8 pages, and the other books are the same, and I finally have a little motivation to study, but as soon as I buy the book, I am satisfied, you kid is the kind of scumbag person."
Where is this scolding the characters in the movie? This is clearly scolding everyone!
At this moment, countless audiences in the theater were stabbed in the hearts of the same people.
I don't want to read a book when I buy it.
Always struggling with intermittent efforts and sustained decadence.
Isn't that what you are?
Everyone is thinking, maybe if we had persevered a little longer, maybe life would have been completely different now.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but think of the song that Li Mugang sang.
Looking back now, the lyrics of that song really have a taste. ….
"I have ruined everything I have
Just want to leave forever
I have fallen into infinite darkness
I want to struggle and can't extricate myself
……】
Isn't that what we're talking about? Does evasion really work? Look at other people's "killers", the beginning of hell in your eyes, isn't it gradually happy in the hands of others?
What else can be done?
As Li Mugang sang, we can only "go forward, just go like this, even if you will miss something."
Suddenly I felt like crying.
Front row.
Director Shen Junsheng quietly leaned into Li Mu's ear and said:
"Mr. Li, today we are sitting behind Han Han, who has more than 100 million blog visits, and Zhou Limin, who has 80 million blog visits, do you want to ...... after a while?"
"It's fine, no."
Shen Junsheng's words were not fully stated, but Li Mu had already fully understood the meaning.
Han Han has many fans, and he has always loved to evaluate new movies, if he has a bad evaluation of the movie, it will almost inevitably affect the final box office of the movie.
As for Zhou Limin, it is even more difficult.
This guy also has a nickname called "Foul Mouth Week", and he has always been merciless in criticizing movies. Last time, Shen Junsheng's "Hypnosis Master" created a miracle of small cost and high box office, but in the end, he was still picked by the stinky mouth and eggs?
What happened last time made Shen Junsheng still have a little shadow in his heart now.
Some even want to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
At this time, all the lights in the screening hall suddenly turned on, and the movie finally ended.
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan pulled Li Mu's arm and whispered, "Director Li, why do you say that no one applauds?" Doesn't it mean that on this occasion where there is live interaction with the main creative team, even if it is a bad movie, there are a lot of people applauding?"
Li Mu also replied with some surprise
After glancing at his head and seeing that most people's eyes were still firmly locked on the big screen, Li Mu turned his gaze to the screen, and the subtitles had just finished playing until this time.
"Good ......"
"Wonderful!"
"Beautiful!"
As the big screen completely dimmed, the screening hall suddenly burst into warm applause and cheers, and even more than half of the people stood up and applauded enthusiastically.
Gao Yuanyuan was even taken aback by the sudden applause.
However, seeing that so many viewers spontaneously stood up and applauded, Gao Yuanyuan and the hearts of the main creators finally put their stomachs.
Then Li Mu, Shen Junsheng, Gao Yuanyuan, Shen Teng, Huang Bo and others came to the stage to thank everyone, and someone in the audience shouted:
"Director Li sings "Ordinary Road" again! This song goes really well with the movie."
"Watching a movie, I suddenly thought of the lyrics, and I almost burst into tears."
"The song should have been cut into a movie."
Li Mu took over the topic and responded, "Since everyone likes this song so much, then I'll sing it again."
"Ahem......
Li Mu cleared his throat first, and then:
[Wandering.]
On the road
Are you leaving
ViaVia
……】
People's emotions are really strange, the same song, sometimes you listen to it and it's fine, sometimes you listen to it and you burst into tears.
Sometimes you're fine when you're listening to it on your computer, and sometimes you're in tears when you're listening to it live at a concert. ….
The same movie, sometimes it's okay to watch it with friends, sometimes you will cry when you watch it in private, sometimes you will be fine when you are in a good mood, and sometimes you will cry when you watch it when you happen to encounter something.
Like today.
Li Mu sang this song "Ordinary Road" before the opening of the movie, but he sang this song again after the movie was played, which was amazing, Gao Yuanyuan, Shen Junsheng, Huang Bo, Shen Teng and other main creators were stunned!
It is no exaggeration to say that at least seventy or eighty percent of the audience at the scene had tears in their eyes.
Because the movie brought the vast majority of the audience into a certain emotion, when the mood arrived, coupled with a very heartfelt song, and other audiences who kept wiping their tears around them, it spread ten, ten, hundred, and finally seven or eight percent of the audience who were in tears.
made all the main creators of the movie a little skeptical about life.
It's obviously a comedy movie, right? Why are you still crying?
The next thing is that the creators take turns to accept questions from the audience and reporters on the spot, during which director Shen Junsheng glanced at Li Mu without a trace, Li Mu followed his gaze, and saw Zhou Limin, a famous man in the film criticism circle and a stinky mouth with 80 million blog visits, frantically tapping on the mobile phone keyboard.
"Is he writing a movie review on the spot?"
Shen Junsheng, who had the experience of being scolded last time, is now starting to worry,
About ten minutes later, a staff member quietly stepped forward and handed Li Mu a mobile phone, it turned out that Zhou Limin, who had a foul mouth, had published the film review on his own personal blog.
How can Li Mu have time to read a large section of film reviews written by a film critic now? But when his afterglow swept to the specific content of the film review, he was immediately deeply attracted.
So I took the mobile phone handed over by the staff and looked at it carefully, only to see Zhou Limin's blog writing:
"I just finished watching the movie "The Way to Steal the Key" produced by director Li Mu, and the following is the film review I wrote for this movie: 'Haha......haha
To be honest, Li Mu was also a little dumbfounded - this TM is a film review written by the country's top film critics? I don't read a lot at all, and I've been living for more than 30 years in my two lifetimes, so don't lie to me! Anyway, isn't this really a face-rolling keyboard?
quietly took the mobile phone to the director Shen Junsheng, and Shen Junsheng was even more confused than Li Mu.
"Mr. Li, what do you mean by that?"
"Huh
Haha is laughter, it's very simple, so much hahaha shows that the movie is very funny, and it should be crying - so that's what it means to laugh with tears?" Li Mu analyzed.
"Huh?" Shen Junsheng was surprised, "Then why didn't he just write a joke with tears?"
"Can you write that? You watched a movie, and then wrote a movie review, and the result was just four words - laughter and tears? Do you think it's appropriate? That's not a level, elementary school students can write." Li Mu patted Shen Junsheng on the shoulder and continued, "I see this string of hahaha and duh, which is the highest evaluation of the level of this movie directed by you! The young people have done a good job and will continue to work hard in the future."
"Huh? What does that mean?" Shen Junsheng will be suspicious.
"I guess so." Li Mu said.
"Laughter with tears is at the level of elementary school students, so isn't it the level of kindergarten?"
However, Shen Junsheng no longer dwelled on this matter, because he thought of another question.
"Director Li, this laugh is hahaha, I admit it, but who would cry loudly?".
Extraordinary ordinary
