Chapter 58: Release - There are surprises

Wednesday, July 3.

"The Genius Gunman", which is on the cusp, finally premiered on this day.

Compared with the release of "Peking Holiday", this time Dunhuang held a serious premiere.

However, unlike the general movie premiere that invites stars from all walks of life, the most invited film critics for the premiere of "Genius Gunman" are.

This was Wang Chuanqi's idea. He predicts that "Genius Gunman" will be a favorite movie among film critics, and they are likely to become "tap water" after watching the movie.

Of course, film critics are happy to come.

The director and the media are torn apart, they film critics don't get involved, and I'm sorry for this profession that relies on "spraying" to eat.

Yang Lan, a well-known "face-looking" film critic, saw that most of his peers were familiar with the premiere, and he pondered in his heart-

Dunhuang is not an ordinary confidence!

You must know that her (they) film critics must have a better relationship with the media, but if "Genius Gunman" is slightly lower than expected, so many people will scold, and Dunhuang will not have time to do public relations.

Dunhuang is so fearless, it seems that this movie is not ordinary.

Fortunately, this is already the premiere, and she doesn't have to wait for an itch.

In their own minds, the lights overhead dimmed, and the movie was about to begin.

Yang Lan first noticed that the movie was nearly 130 minutes long, and she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

This is a movie with a youth campus theme, how complicated can the plot be? She was afraid that the director would appeal too much, and as a result, the story would be very long and boring.

No matter what the result is, at least in the cinema, she hopes to have a good movie-watching experience.

Watch the movie first.

The voice of the news broadcast appeared first in the black field, introducing the SBD exam, the results can be used to help apply to top universities abroad, and can also be used to add points to the domestic college entrance examination.

- Obviously, this is an international competition exam fictionalized by the director.

Then I told everyone the results directly, and there was cheating in this exam.

The sound of the door closing, knocking out the first shot-

The heroine Xiao Lin appeared in countless reflections in the mirror.

This opening shot gave a long time, and Yang Lan noticed this detail.

Xiao Lin introduces her identity, a high school student, with good grades and no cheating.

It's like an interrogation scene in a small dark room? Flashback?

As soon as Yang Lan thought about this, she saw the heroine's expression and smiled.

It doesn't seem that simple.

Flashback to blackout, and subtitles designed as answer sheets appear in the music...... Even such details are on topic.

The movie officially begins.

Back to the scene where Xiao Lin transfers.

"It's really completely different from the characters in "Peking Holiday"!" Yang Lan couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

As a film critic who pays great attention to the appearance of actors, Yang Lan is very optimistic about Shen Zhenyi.

So when she saw Shen Zhenyi's new image in promotional posters and advertisements before, she was full of slander against Wang Wei.

Such a big beauty has become "disgraced" in your movie, won't your heart hurt as a director?

However, Shen Zhenyi's performance in today's movie gave her a surprise.

The "nerd" scholar she plays, when she quickly calculates accounts with the principal, she can see a condescending high IQ crushing from her demeanor and micro-expressions.

- although her calculations are not really complicated.

Yang Lan originally thought that Shen Zhenyi might be more suitable to perform the kind of pure and lovely or elegant and noble role that conforms to her own temperament.

I didn't expect to play a "mediocre-looking", uh, mediocre-looking high school student compared to the "princess", and he performed very well!

This is not the addition of appearance and aura, it is Yang Lan's affirmation of her acting skills.

"It seems that this girl not only has good looks, but also acting skills, and she is an outstanding existence among the new generation!"

At this time, the sentence "Wait a minute" on the screen entered first, followed by a close-up of the feet, and then a close-up of the second female smiling face filled the camera.

"It's a beauty again." Yang Lan's eyes lit up at first, and then her mood was subtle - this lighting, this color mixing, this soundtrack...... Full of advertising style, there is wood.

In just a few minutes, film critics have already seen the first hint - the lens style of this movie is a bit wild!

You see, the way the characters appear is advertising at first, but at the end they are engraved with black and white photos, which is quite a sense of wanted criminals.

Then the sound transition, back to the small dark room, gives a mirror reflection, and continues the suspense.

It's the interrogation scene of the second woman, she is explaining the process of cheating, and then the bell of class is changing......

As soon as the movie opens, it is a two-line narrative intertwined with real life and interrogation, full of crime and suspenseful texture.

The problem is, they haven't forgotten that it's just a youth school movie!

"It's getting interesting!" Yang Lan felt that her premiere was worth it.

……

"It's worth it."

is also a well-known film critic, and Xia Luo, whose style is dominated by "spraying", and Yang Lan's heroes see something similar.

It's just that he is more inclined to evaluate the director.

"No wonder Wang Wei dares to make a big fuss, he really shoots something new."

This is the evaluation given by Charlotte at the beginning.

To be honest, before he came to the premiere, his senses for Wang Wei were getting worse.

Because the last "Peking Holiday" or this "Genius Gunman" are all naked hype.

Although "Peking Holiday" is a newcomer's debut, and it has changed the popular "bloody tragic love style" in the market, it has been praised by Charlotte.

But that doesn't mean he has a good impression of Dunhuang or Wang Wei's unbridled hype.

Because he felt that this would make a very bad start, the director would not focus on the movie in the future, but on hype marketing.

Now it seems that he still underestimated the creativity of Wang Wei, a newcomer.

It is unimaginable that Wang Wei can amplify such a small episode of cheating in exams in ordinary campus youth films into a genre film shooting method.

Look at the next paragraph -

In the school midterm exam, Xiao Lin read the questions, and her memory flashed back, and she found that the exam papers were exactly the same as the exam papers brought by her friend at that time, which made the audience and Xiao Lin realize together: there was a leak of questions.

Ironically, the invigilator who leaked the questions through the make-up class was still saying cool words, and with his sentence "Don't cheat in this classroom", the psychological turning point of the genius Xiaolin came.

She decided to help her friend cheat and turned on the speed mode.

The music drums beat at a faster pace.

A yawn from the teacher gave the time transition.

Xiao Lin had completed all her answers and copied them on the eraser.

The distance between the desks is a bit far (it shows that the direct transfer action will be large when passing the test paper in the front), and I am ready to pass the answers with my shoes.

At the moment when the shoes were passed on, the second female expression was tense, and the music pushed directly to the climax.

She stomped on her shoe and lost the music at the same time.

- You think that's the end of it, but the director tells you: don't worry.

The teacher slapped the table and stood up and stepped off the podium.

The tension begins to brew at an accelerated pace, giving low-angle foot movements instead of expressing tension with regular character expressions.

The teacher didn't find out.

So the second female prepared to pass her shoes back to Xiao Lin.

The music started again, and the second female of the pig teammate kicked her shoes into the middle of the aisle directly opposite the podium, and broke the music again.

The picture is still.

The teacher, with his back to the aisle, was about to walk back to the podium, and the music was roaring.

A wonderful plot has appeared!

Xiao Lin reacted quickly, took her test paper, stepped forward, stepped on the shoes in the aisle at the moment the teacher turned around, made a paper gesture and blocked the teacher's sight with her body.

Accompanied by a successful soundtrack, cheat for the first time, get!

……

In this movie-watching process, Charlotte, who has been away from the examination room for decades, is also firmly attracted to attention, as if she feels like another candidate sitting next to her and witnessing all this.

Of course, it was not easy, but Wang Wei did it.

Charlotte thought about it and secretly praised: "The atmosphere of light, shadow and sound is first-class, and the rhythm is full of suspense about the direction of the plot in the next moment. ”

"And it's obviously fast-paced, but it doesn't make people feel overwhelmed, it seems that Wang Wei's ability to control the narrative and rhythm of the camera has improved a lot."

At this point, the highlights of the whole film have been relatively clear.

is such a small eraser cheating, and Wang Wei filmed it so thrillingly, the editing, soundtrack, and cutting of the camera all reflect his superb mastery.

And what about the double-line suspense structure, and what more exciting scenes will it lead?

Charlotte suddenly looked forward to the rest of the plot.

……

At the same time, Wang Wei, who felt that the hearts of the audience in the theater were tightly touched by the movie, suddenly closed his eyes-

"Tongzi, give me a resonance aura."

[Resonance Aura (Disposable) - Wearing it can make the audience's resonance points when a movie made by the host is released to be projected into reality.] 】

A purple aura rose and then dissipated into countless points of light, scattering and disappearing into his "field of vision".

Wang Wei suddenly opened his eyes and met the concerned gaze of Shen Zhenyi beside him.

Everyone else has their eyes glued to the screen.

Wang Wei shook his head slightly, indicating that it was okay and closed his eyes again.

[Resonance Aura: Worn and used.]

Related Movie: "Genius Gunslinger".

Project Resonance Points: Waiting for feedback. 】

This group buff is a big killer at a glance.

It's all on this with the media, don't you play the cards and wait for the cubs?

What surprises can I have in Kangkang.

Uh, I think I'm using it early?
