Chapter two hundred and fifty-one
As the plot of the film slowly unfolded, whispers gradually filled the originally quiet theater.
"What the hell is this film about?"
"It's too tragic. Is this a martial arts movie or a tragic movie?"
"What a mess, I can't even understand it."
"I just finished watching a Cantonese drama and then watching this, I feel heart-burning,"
"Woo, be gentle,"
Uh, this is not a movie, it's just a movie theater for errands.
…
Sounds came to Chen Dahe's ears one after another. He glanced aside casually and continued to look ahead.
There isn't even a single positive review, so it looks like Phoenix Pictures will suffer a big loss this time.
When they saw that the heroine died at the end of the film, someone finally couldn't help but get up and leave. The grumpy ones even started to curse, and balls of bagasse and popcorn cones flew towards the stage, quickly accumulating a
Big pile of garbage.
Needless to say, audiences were very dissatisfied with this film, and it was a flop at the premiere.
"Excuse me,"
At this time, a low and hoarse voice sounded in Chen Dahe's ears. He turned around and saw that it was the man wearing a mask talking to him.
"Is this movie really bad?" the man asked in a low voice, pointing at the audience who were leaving, "I think they don't like it."
Chen Dahe looked at him and then at the screen in front of him. He was a little surprised as to why this person was talking to him, but he still smiled and said, "It's not that bad. The main reason is that the story arrangement is too depressing and unpalatable. Why,
Are you involved in this movie?"
If it doesn't matter, I probably wouldn't ask this.
"Well," the man nodded, his voice a little low, "I have a friend who played a small role in it. It seems that he will be disappointed this time."
"Really?" Chen Dahe didn't take it seriously. Although it has not yet reached the most glorious period of Xiangjiang movies, the entertainment industry is already relatively developed and there are many employees. Xiangjiang is only so big. Anyone who knows an actor can casually meet him.
It's not surprising, especially at his friend's movie premiere.
"Then you have to tell your friends," Chen Dahe pointed to the big screen in front of him and said in a joking tone, "You have to have a good relationship with the director and the heroine of this movie.
I can give him a hand."
"Director and heroine?" The man looked at him in surprise, "Shouldn't it be the hero? He is the big star. These two seem to be newcomers."
"Just because they are big stars, it is difficult to build relationships," Chen Dahe curled his lips, "But the director and the heroine are different. They are both newcomers, and the movie has also been a hit. There will definitely be no airs. Now is the time.
Good opportunity to burn the cold stove.”
The man leaned forward slightly and asked curiously, "From what you say, I seem to be very optimistic about them, but isn't this movie unpopular? Will it still be popular in the future?"
"It's just speculation. Movies can't be popular, but people can," Chen Dahe smiled. Now that the movie is almost over, the audience is starting to appear one after another. He can't leave now anyway, so it doesn't matter if he chats a little, "This movie has audiences.
I like it mainly for two reasons, one is the background
It's too dark and depressing, and the description of tragic life is too much. Such a story is naturally unpalatable. Who doesn't want to watch a happy movie? Even if you watch a tragedy, the story must be able to attract people. This movie did not do that. It is purely
Tragic for the sake of being tragic, and the other has to do with the subject matter of the movie."
"Subject matter?" The man didn't understand, "Isn't it just a martial arts film?"
"It should be said to be a martial arts suspense film," Chen Dahe said. "It wears the guise of martial arts, but it fully displays the chaos and accidents of the characters' relationships. If the screenwriter and director can sort out the story well, it should become a landmark film.
It’s a classic, but it’s a pity that neither the screenwriter nor the director has enough skills. Especially the director wants to show his own ideas too much, but his control ability is not yet able to fully present these ideas. This kind of fragmented new type of film, the audience
It’s weird if you can accept it.”
"So that's it," the man looked at Chen Dahe and said, "Are you a film critic? I feel like you are so professional."
"No, I'm just talking nonsense." Chen Dahe glanced at his eyes and opened a little distance without revealing any trace. Why does this man's eyes look a bit girly? He couldn't be Tutu.
"By the way," the man didn't notice Chen Dahe's reaction at all, and continued to ask, "You haven't mentioned the director and the heroine yet, why do you think they will become popular?"
"Oh," Chen Dahe looked around and found that people were almost finished walking, so he stood up and said casually, "It's nothing, I just feel that this director has ideas and the heroine is beautiful. As long as he persists, one day
It should be red."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, "I'm leaving first, bye."
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the man's eyes, his words were obviously perfunctory, but he still did not stop him and watched Chen Dahe leave.
Chen Dahe walked against the crowd to the backstage of the theater and found that Mr. Zhu and the others had not returned yet. Apart from the busy staff, there was only a young man in his twenties sitting there dejectedly.
After taking a closer look at his slightly familiar facial features, Chen Dahe walked over and asked, "Are you the director of this movie?"
The man raised his head and looked at Chen Dahe in astonishment, without saying anything. After a moment, he seemed to react and nodded lightly, "Who are you? Are you here to scold people? Everyone else has left, but I am still here.
If you want to scold me, then scold me."
Chen Dahe pulled up a chair and sat across from him, stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "Let's meet Chen Dahe, from Beijin."
Du Qifeng shook his hand strangely, "Du Qifeng, the director of this movie, are you from the Cantonese Opera Troupe?"
"That's right," Chen Dahe smiled softly, "I'm from the organizer, not the troupe."
"Oh," Du Qifeng responded, his eyelids narrowed and he stopped talking.
Chen Dahe curled his lips. Seeing the defeat in the first battle was a huge blow to Director Du Da, who is still very young now.
"Actually, I think you are quite talented," Chen Dahe said with a smile. "It's a good idea to set up suspense in a martial arts film. If you polish the script and have better control, maybe the result will be very different."
After hearing this, Du Qifeng's eyes finally showed some sparkle, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he forced a smile, "Thank you, I really need to study hard for a few more years."
At this time, Zhu Shilin and the others also walked in. When they saw Du Qifeng, their cold faces and frosty eyebrows became even more gloomy.
"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Liao, Mr. Yuan," Chen Dahe stood up and said hello.
Du Qifeng, who was lowering his head, looked up and quickly stood up.
Zhu Shilin first nodded to Chen Dahe, then walked over and patted Du Qifeng on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Failure is not terrible, as long as you learn a lesson, stand up where you fell."
Du Qifeng took a deep breath, nodded vigorously with red eyes, "Thank you, Director Zhu, I want to go back to TVB and study for a few more years."
"That's fine," Zhu Shilin thought for a while, then nodded, "You really still need some time to control the movie now. Let's go shoot a few TV series to get a good feel for it, and then help us make some good movies later."
"Well," Du Qifeng forced out a smile, "I will help you make back the money you lost on this movie in the future."
"It's not enough to just earn the money you lost," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "you have to include interest."
