Chapter 143: The Touching Brought by "Hachiko"!

[Lin Qiu's new film has started pre-sale! ] Grab tickets, sisters! 】

[I bought it just now, at the premiere, Lin Qiujia and Chen Daohua, no matter what, I have to support it! ] 】

[Wow, wow, wow! I was drawn to the premiere lucky audience! 】

[Really, sisters! 】

……

As soon as the pre-sale information of "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" came out, it immediately became the focus of the entire Xiazhou film industry, and it was given extremely high expectations!

"Love Letter", "Melting Pot" and "God of Medicine" are three consecutive masterpieces.

This one was joined by Chen Daohua again, and the predicted box office once exceeded 5 billion, which is the "Lin Qiu effect".

Few industry insiders or audiences will question the film.

The reason is very simple, if the script of this movie is not good, can Mr. Chen Daohua and Mr. Chen join?

Chen Daohua is in a semi-retired state, and this time he will definitely not bring a bad movie to make his later life unsafe!

The word-of-mouth of the director and starring has exploded, so that the pre-sale has exceeded 300 million in a short period of time!

Such a pre-sale result can only be described as against the sky!

But Lin Qiu is really hard to say about the box office of this movie.

In the previous films, Lin Qiu had expectations for the box office, and the final results were more in line with expectations.

For example, "God of Medicine", Lin Qiu knew that it was at least five billion before it was released.

This "Hachiko" is really hard to say.

Two billion is possible, and five billion is equally unexpected.

Mainly because the subject matter is a literary film, it is difficult to create a local box office miracle.

But Lin Qiu's current reputation and popularity are too explosive, especially among young fans.

The box office of the movie is complicatedly related to the schedule, lineup, publicity, word-of-mouth, and subject matter.

It's not a billion-dollar film in a previous life, it's a billion in any time period.

……

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" swept the youth group in Xia Prefecture in a short period of time.

Even during the summer vacation, this imaginative story is still rapidly fermenting in the world of the student party.

In ten days, the total sales exceeded 10 million, and he became another big best-selling author in Xiazhou.

Such an achievement not only made the entire online literature circle proud, but also shocked the physical book circle!

In Xiazhou, with the popularity accumulated by old thieves, "Harry Potter" was able to rise so quickly.

Overseas, the old thief does not have this kind of readership, and it is completely equivalent to a rookie author.

The rise of new authors is destined not to be so rapid, let alone a Xiazhou author.

During this time, except for the 2 hours of fixed code word work every day, Lin Qiu was quite free for the rest of the time, which was a good vacation for himself.

With such a hot weather in Xiazhou, it is not realistic to travel in Xiazhou.

The animation department still has some work to keep an eye on, and it has reached the end of "Unheard of Flower Names", and Lin Qiu still attaches great importance to this animation that opens up the Xiazhou market.

This is a new market.

Since August, the release date of "Eight Princes" is approaching.

At the premiere, Lin Qiu still invited some familiar friends in the circle, such as Jiang Han, Li Ya, Chen You, Ye Zhiyuan, Tang Anning, Xu Xin and others to support the scene.

In the blink of an eye, this much-anticipated new film of Lin Qiu is finally coming!

……

August 10th.

The hot summer still can't dry the enthusiasm of movie fans, outside Kyushu International Studios.

Many Lin Qiu's fans were looking forward to it outside the theater early, and when they saw Lin Qiu coming, they shouted:

"Lin Qiu!"

"Lin Qiu! I love you! ”

"Wow! Autumn leaves! Autumn leaves come together! ”

Compared with a year ago, Lin Qiu's popularity is bursting now.

Not only in the film industry, but also in the entertainment industry.

"It's a big star."

Ye Zhiyuan and Lin Qiu came from the company together, and when they saw such a scene, they laughed and teased.

After a brief exchange with the fans, Lin Qiu walked into the studio.

In the theater, many media reporters came here first, and when they saw Lin Qiu and Ye Zhiyuan coming, they greeted them one after another.

"Director Lin, we all know that you achieved a box office of more than 6 billion in the last "God of Medicine", do you think this new film can surpass "God of Medicine"?"

Lin Qiu smiled, "The types are different. ”

"This "Hachiko" is a literary film, as for the box office and word-of-mouth, leave it to the audience."

"I don't have much pursuit of the box office, I'm satisfied with two billion."

Lin Qiu's remarks immediately made some media grasp the key point.

Immediately in the small notebook he wrote:

[Lin Qiu: I'm not interested in the box office! 】

[Lin Qiu: Set a small goal, two billion! ] 】

[Lin Qiu: Two billion is okay! ] 】

……

The guests at the premiere arrived one after another, and Jiang Han turned down a lot of work and rushed back to Yanjing to support Lin Qiu!

Tang Anning, Xu Xin, Chen You, Li Ya and other well-known stars in the circle all sat in the middle and chatted happily with each other.

Little did he know that in the next two or three hours, there would be a wave of tear gas that would be even more terrifying than "The Crucible"!

The film "The Crucible" is more heartbroken and angry!

But this "Eight Princes" is just crying!

Just when fans across Xiazhou were looking forward to the release of "Hachiko", the premiere began one step ahead.

Wow –

The lights in the theater gradually went out, and images began to appear on the big screen.

A relaxing and melodious orchestral music sounded, which immediately silenced the entire theater.

Ye Zhiyuan looked at the screen intently, looking forward to the release of his own movie!

When this "Eight Princes" was edited, Ye Zhiyuan was filming "White Night Walking" and had not seen it.

"I want to see how this film moves me."

Ye Zhiyuan smiled lightly and said secretly.

When they were in the car before, Lin Qiu made a bet with Ye Zhiyuan.

bet on whether Ye Zhiyuan would be moved to tears because of the story of "Eight Princes", and the bet was a barbecue.

You must know that whether it is "Love Letter", "Melting Pot" or "God of Medicine", Ye Zhiyuan has never shed a single tear.

As a director, Ye Zhiyuan really understands the filming techniques and emotions of the film.

Compared with ordinary movie fans and audiences, Ye Zhiyuan has seen a lot, and he is undoubtedly more rational.

So when Lin Qiu said that Ye Zhiyuan might cry, Ye Zhiyuan naturally didn't believe it.

"Here we go."

As soon as the film began, the attention of the entire theater was focused on the big screen.

This is Lin Qiu's movie, every frame is art!

As soon as the movie came up, it was the picture of the trailer.

In the classroom, a little boy stands on the podium and tells the story of his grandfather and Hachiko.

"Hachiko is a dog raised by my grandfather."

"Everyone says Hachiko is a mysterious dog, and no one knows where it came from."

"Grandpa said that he didn't know either, maybe he ran out of some shelter, or maybe he jumped out of a car, anyway, Hachiko is a stray dog."

"Many years ago, when my grandfather was still alive, Hachiko appeared at the train station."

……

"Good guys!"

"Oh yes, that's how you cut the trailer!"

"It's just Lin Qiu who can do this......"

"Shhh...... Isn't this little actor the one in "The Crucible"? ”

At the beginning of the movie, the atmosphere of the audience in the theater was quite relaxed, and more than one audience laughed and whispered.

This one-minute opening plot seems to be all the content in the trailer of "Hachiko".

The trailers of other movies can't wait to cut all the essence of the movie into it, for fear that the audience will not enter the theater.

Lin Qiu is a maverick.

"I'm not the same because I'm afraid that the audience won't enter the theater."

Lin Qiu muttered to himself.

The emotions of the film are to be piled up, and the plot of "Hachiko" itself is simply tear-jerking.

If the content is really cut, the spoilers will be light, and there will definitely be many fans who will not set foot in the theater.

……

As soon as the picture turns, the dim old-fashioned train station is full of people.

The wagon crunched constantly.

In the cage, it seems that all the dogs come from nowhere, and the puppy barking keeps coming from the box!

Dudu –

The train passed by, and the sound of the horn drowned out the sound of the iron cage falling to the ground.

Hachi got out of the cage and appeared in front of the public so logically.

"It's so cute!"

"It's so cute!"

In the theater, a group of female audiences, including Tang Anning and Xu Xin, saw Xiaoba for the first time, and their kind love was unconsciously revealed.

Women are naturally more delicate, rich, and sensual than men.

What's more, the motherhood in their bones makes them love cute little animals!

On the big screen, Xiao Ba played by Xiao Huang kept walking in the train station, and the whole shot was very low.

It wasn't until I met Professor Chen played by Chen Daohua that the camera gradually moved up!

A face that is familiar to audiences in all Xia Prefectures.

At this moment, many fans in the theater subconsciously got goosebumps, I don't know why!

After a few years, Chen Daohua once again appeared on the big screen.

"Lost? Bub. ”

Chen Daohua's lines are just a few words, which can make fans feel the professor's elegant bookish atmosphere.

This role is so similar to Chen Daohua himself, and it is even more handy to interpret.

……

"Sensational soundtrack and atmosphere."

"That's what I'm going for."

As a director, Ye Zhiyuan focuses more.

Like "Love Letter", as soon as it comes up, it is embellished with a little bit of soundtrack.

Ordinary fans may not pay attention, but they will inevitably gradually immerse themselves in the story of the film under the creation of this atmosphere.

Lin Qiu's shooting technique is definitely no problem, it depends on whether the emotions and stories can move the audience.

Because it is a film about dogs, many audiences in the theater feel very novel, and they are reluctant to blink their eyes, focusing on enjoying the plot.

Unable to find his master, Professor Chen was able to take Hachi back to his home.

But because his wife has always disliked dogs, Professor Chen was only able to sneak Xiaoba in after confirming that his wife had gone upstairs.

The wife has not seen her husband for a long time, so naturally the firewood is dry, and the clouds and rain are overturned!

Seeing this paragraph, fans all showed meaningful smiles!

But Hachi went out at this time, looking for the sound, and went all the way into the bedroom.

"......"

"!"

"Stimulationβ€”"

It's obviously a dog, but the audience sees a different meaning.

Under the expectations of the audience, sure enough, Xiaoba smelled the smell and licked Tang Jia's delicate little feet.

Then Tang Jia straightened up a carp directly from the bed, started to eject, and howled miserably!

The whole theater burst into laughter!

"Hahaha!"

"I'm dying laughing!"

"If it's a man, if you're scared like this, I'm afraid you'll not be there!"

……

Faced with his wife's anger, Professor Chen had no choice but to place Hachi in his former kennel and promised to send the dog away early tomorrow morning.

Lin Qiu's film art has always been moving, even if it is a dog, it seems to have human emotions.

Through the crack in the door of the dog house, Xiao Bayi's big moist eyes silently looked at Professor Chen's back.

The appearance of the pastoral dog itself is pitiful, and this time, it has made the maternal love of countless female audiences rise.

"This dog's acting skills ......"

Seeing this scene, Ye Zhiyuan was a little surprised.

The grievances in the dog's eyes were vivid and touching, Ye Zhiyuan didn't know how Lin Qiu did it!

When the movie is over, Ye Zhiyuan must ask Lin Qiu about it.

"This dog is even better than a human acting, it's too exaggerated."

……

In the rest of the story, because his wife did not agree to adopt the puppy, Professor Chen had to embark on the road of finding an adopter.

But whether it's a shelter, a bookstore, or a roadside stall, familiar friends can't adopt this puppy for a variety of reasons.

In desperation, Professor Chen could only take the puppy with him.

Because there is a small lock on the puppy's neck and a "eight" on the lock, Professor Chen named the puppy "Little Eight".

At this time, the audience was thinking.

It would be great if Professor Chen's wife could agree to Hachi becoming a member of the family!

But it backfired, even though Professor Chen had a big fight with his wife for Xiaoba, his wife was still unwilling to adopt Xiaoba.

Xiaoba's pitiful eyes were shot out by Lin Qiu in a few close-ups, and the audience had no rational thinking, and they immediately became dissatisfied with his wife:

"Why don't you adopt Hachi! How cute Hachi is! ”

"It's really a whole mullet!"

"This wife is too unkind!"

……

In real life, it's a matter of personal freedom to like or dislike small animals.

In this regard, the quarrels on the Internet have never subsided over the years.

One faction said that the other party was cold-blooded and unkind.

One faction says that the other side should consider reality, and people are bigger than dogs.

There is no compromise opinion.

But in the movie, who cares so much about you?

Especially a movie with Hachiko as the main perspective.

But Ye Zhiyuan was still calm, thinking about a question:

"Why does the professor have a dog house in his house?"

"Could it be foreshadowing?"

……

As a director, Lin Qiu is too good at provoking the audience's emotions.

The audience's dissatisfaction with his wife completely disappeared after just a few minutes.

Especially when the wife saw her husband and Hachi playing happily in the sun, smiling brightly, she thought twice and rejected the adoption request on the other end of the phone.

This made the audience, who had secretly scolded his wife for being unkind, suddenly blush.

Who would have thought that the slap in the face would come so quickly?

β€œSorry~”

The world itself is not black and white, it always has to give people the time and space to accept.

"How the hell was this filmed?"

"It's so subtle."

Ye Zhiyuan's exclamation never stopped in his heart.

Xiaoba's thoughts, grievances, and happiness are all perfectly presented on the big screen, and they are so spiritual.

Is this something that can be done human?

……

Xiaohachi, who is growing up, has established an unusual emotional connection with the audience in the theater.

But this makes many filmmakers in the industry more curious.

How will the next story be filmed?

The plot of the literary film is as beautiful as ever, plain, and deeply rooted in emotional connection.

But if you continue to do this, you will undoubtedly be labeled as "boring" and "boring".

This is an important obstacle for literary films to explore the market.

After that, Xiaoba would be at the gate of the train station every day, waiting for the professor's return on time.

"Bored?"

"It's not boring at all!"

"I just want this simple routine to last."

The perception of the audience is completely different.

They love this healing routine.

Whenever Hachi plays with the professor and pounces on the professor.

Or when the two of them walked side by side on the railway, the professor and Hachi chatted.

or the picture of Hachi waiting for the professor's return, all of them heal them all the time.

One month, two months, three months.

Hachi has grown up.

The professor's daughter found Ruyi Langjun, and with the blessing of her family, she stepped into the palace of marriage!

In this family photo, Hachi is also in it, smiling very happily.

Soon after, the professor's daughter became pregnant.

The happiness of this family seems to have reached its peak!

Can......

Lin Qiu's movie, will it really be that simple?

After happiness, it is the fall.

Ye Zhiyuan's eyes were burning and he looked at the screen.

I know that the turning point of the film is probably coming here.

Those scenes full of love and warmth, each scene is recorded in the film's unique Xiaohachi gray perspective.

……

"Wang! Woof! Woof! ”

On this day, the professor played by Chen Daohua was ready to take Xiaoba to the train platform as usual.

But this time, Hachi not only refused to go out, but also barked at the professor!

"Sure enough."

Ye Zhiyuan took a deep breath and looked at Lin Qiu, who was sitting in the front row.

Lin Qiu's expression was quite calm.

In my previous life, there was always a rumor that dogs could see things that people couldn't see.

And this is not without scientific basis.

Rupert Schedrrick, a famous British biologist, has published books describing many puzzling animal behaviors, including "telepathy" with his master.

According to the database investigated by Schedrik, there were more than 5,000 cases of animal telepathy during the investigation period, including sensing the owner to return home.

Among them, 177 cases were cases of dogs feeling the death or suffering of their owners.

Animals generally howl and whimper, especially humane dogs.

The originally warm picture ended with Hachi's barking.

Hachi desperately tries to keep the professor, but the professor still steps on the train to the school.

But the last kiss, how does it look like a farewell!

"Hachi, see you at five o'clock!"

……

"No, it won't!"

"I feel like something is wrong......

"Sure enough, Lin Qiu's movie won't be so simple!"

Seeing this scene, the audience was a little anxious!

They hope that the warm picture of Xiaohachi and the professor can be frozen, and they can live happily together forever.

But this is the world of movies, how can there be a story as plain as water?

In class, Professor Chen was lecturing with the students as always:

"Do you think that's right?"

"Think about the current performance, put a CD on stage, and everything will be fine!"

"Is that foolproof?"

"I don't think so, real music is hard to come by, like life, like the heart."

"Creation...... Creation ......"

When Professor Chen said this, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and then staggered.

In the hearts of movie fans.

A red, huge "danger" word rises up!

It was like not being able to breathe a breath of fresh air.

"No......"

The audience swallowed.

Professor Chen lowered his head.

Audience: "No......"

Professor Chan breathed heavily.

Audience: "Won't ......"

Rumble!

Professor Chan suffered a heart attack and suddenly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Teacher! Teacher! ”

"Quick! Call an ambulance! ”

"Go find someone!"

The sound of Professor Chen's body slamming on the ground was like a heavy hammer, knocking on the hearts of all the audience in the theater!

When filming this plot, Chen Daohua was completely real and had no protective measures.

That's why it's so real!

The superb acting skills perfectly presented the feeling of being out of breath from heart disease on the screen, making the audience feel a little synchronized and out of breath.

It's another textbook acting picture that remains in film history!

This movie is too strong to grasp the emotions of the audience.

As soon as the camera turned back to Hachi, who had been waiting in the flower bed outside the train station, all the audience in the theater couldn't help but shudder.

The first hour of the movie is almost all in touching and warm emotions.

It is precisely with this kind of foreshadowing that when the tear-jerking plot really comes, the audience can be truly substituted.

From this scene on, Ye Zhiyuan forgot what film shooting techniques, what light and shadow techniques, and emotional stacking, and was completely immersed in the story of "Hachiko".

Ye Zhiyuan wanted to know what happened to the story after that.

……

Waiting until the night, Hachi was prostrate on the flower bed, waiting for the arrival of the master as always.

But one train after another passed, but the familiar figure was never seen.

It was the arrival of Professor Chen's son-in-law that brought Hachiko home.

From the crack in the dog house, Hachiko's eyes kept looking out, but he only heard a hoarse cry coming from the house.

It's a heartwarming trap.

And at this moment, all the audience involuntarily fell into this trap.

After all the audience got used to the daily life of Hachiko and the professor, and got used to the warmth, Lin Qiu indifferently waved the long knife in his hand and cut off all these beauties.

The so-called beauty, like a dream, directly shatters in the audience's world.

What followed was the most primitive sadness.

Hachi, who is human, seems to know what is happening, and his eyes lying in the dog house can't hide his loss.

The audience has long regarded Hachi as a dog, but as a member of this whole family.

And the first tear of the movie came at this moment.

At Professor Chen's funeral, there was no figure of Xiaoba.

Hachi just glanced at it from a distance, and ran to the flower bed in front of the station and squatted down as usual, waiting for the arrival of the master as usual.

The close-up is given to Hachi's face.

Although there was not a single tear, Hachi's expression was as if he was sobbing.

It was this shot that made more than one audience in the theater subconsciously burst into tears.

"Listen, Hachi, you don't have to wait any longer."

"He's not coming back."

In the snow, the administrator of the train station squatted in front of Hachi, and said a little sadly.

Can Hachi understand?

Undoubtedly understandable.

But even if he understood, Hachi was still unmoved, just kept squatting on the flower bed, looking lonely, and wailing in a low voice.

……

"Woo......"

Tang Anning took the paper handed over by Xu Xin and wiped his tears.

Not only Tang Anning, but in the movie theater, the sobbing gradually increased.

The communication between people is often mixed with interests, especially in today's society.

But between humans and animals, especially between humans and dogs, it is pure affection.

Hachi went to Professor Chen's daughter's new home.

But as soon as he has the opportunity, Hachi will rush out of the door and run towards the familiar flower bed and the familiar train station!

After coming to his new home, Hachi is still lonely, missing the professor and his master.

Or in the simple world of dogs, there is no such thing as a master who is not an owner.

This is the definition given to them by humans.

Every time she sees Xiaoba standing by the railing of her home, looking at the train station, Professor Chen's daughter is like a knife.

This time, she didn't choose to keep her beloved Hachi by her side.

Instead, he loosened Hachi's collar.

"Go ahead, Hachi."

This time, when Hachi left, he didn't flee like crazy.

Instead, he turned his head and glanced deeply, as if he was saying his final goodbye to his relatives.

In the years that followed, Hachichi waited for the professor in the flower bed outside the train station day after day.

When you're hungry, it's like begging for food from acquaintances around you.

At night, I would casually hide in the corner of a certain carriage to rest.

Commissary owners around the train station, train station employees, and acquaintances from some storefronts.

Whenever I see Hachi waiting for the professor, I will sit next to Hachi and chat with Hachi like an old friend.

No one thinks of Hachi as just a dog in captivity by humans.

It is the most sincere friend of mankind.

It's an old friend they communicate and confide in.

……

The audience in the theater whimpered again.

At the same time, Ye Zhiyuan's tears suddenly surged up at this moment.

Ye Zhiyuan's move did not come from professors such as Xiaoba, but from these ordinary people who communicated with Xiaoba.

Every time these people sit next to Hachi, chatting with Hachi, chatting about the past years.

Ye Zhiyuan can feel the most sincere emotion in the movie.

This has nothing to do with any technique or shooting technique, it is the simplest and purest feeling.

"Maybe ......"

"Am I paying too much attention to my technique?"

Ye Zhiyuan was a little trance-like.

Ye Zhiyuan's cinematic lens shooting skills have always been quite exquisite.

But it's always a kick away from a god-level work.

On the other hand, Lin Qiu, every film can move people's hearts and get high scores.

This is not just a matter of subject matter, the same subject matter can show the most sincere magic in Lin Qiu's hands.

When I saw these acquaintances, while holding Xiaoba, I sighed at the impermanence of life.

How many people can not be moved by this picture?

Even the filmmakers in the industry also have some tears in their eyes, looking at the constantly changing spring, summer, autumn and winter on the movie screen.

Whether it's windy or rainy, or blizzard and hail, Hachiko has always stayed here.

From the time when he was cute and lovely, he was ignorant.

Ten years later, he became a faltering old dog, Hachiko.

The lifespan of a dog is limited.

A pastoral dog has a lifespan of 12~18 years.

Today's Hachiko, dying of old age, seems to have reached the twilight of his life.

Dirty, like a real stray dog.

But the surrounding vendors, every time they pass by the station, they will smile and say hello to Hachiko!

Everyone seems to have feelings for this dirty dirt dog.

Ten years later.

Professor Chan's wife returned to her former home to worship her husband.

In the past ten years, his wife, who has been living in sadness, has completely forgotten the existence of the little eight.

But when Tang Jia's wife was about to leave, she saw a familiar figure on the flower bed of the train station.

Even after ten years, Hachi has become Hachiko, and his coat color is completely dull, and he has lost the vitality of his past memories.

She still recognized Hachi at a glance!

"Hachi!"

"Little Hachi...... Is that you? ”

"Little Hachi......"

Tang Jia stretched out his hand in front of Xiao Hachi.

And Xiaoba, as he did ten years ago, licked Tang Jia's hand.

But now Xiaobachi has long been out of life.

It seems that every movement will take a lot of effort.

At this moment, the surrounding vendors all looked from the windows towards the flower beds of the train station and sighed slightly.

The professor did not witness Hachi's life, but they did.

In the past ten years, Hachi has been here, rain or shine.

Even if you know that there is no point in waiting, the memories of Hachi and the professor are here.

From meeting and acquaintance, to daily attachment and waiting, Hachi's world has long been filled with the shadow of the professor.

Tears flowed down the audience's eyes unconsciously.

If we say, the emotions in "The Crucible" are too far away from their lives.

Then the story of "Hachiko" can be relate to everyone!

Because dogs are such animals.

If you have a dog for three years, even if you come back after a few years of absence, the dog will still remember you and pounce on you!

In the eyes of dogs, there are no prejudices such as identity, status and society.

It recognizes you, you are its lifelong friend, no matter what happens, it will not abandon you, and will always guard you.

From the dog's childhood until they grow old, their emotions will not change.

What's even more impressive.

Even when they are old, when they sense that they are about to die, the dogs will desperately run out of the house.

Leave his master, run to a corner where no one can find him, and die quietly.

Because they don't want their masters to see them gone.

……
