Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 105: Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison [45 more]

That’s right, at this moment, Ami really felt like he was a leek with something green on his head.

How could he describe what he had just seen, from beginning to end? It was not entirely different from what he had imagined, but it was completely unrelated.

He had no sense of immersion at all, and the more he watched, the more disappointed he became.

If even this level can be called the so-called pride of domestic production, it is a tragedy for the entire industry.

He looked in the direction of his sister, and saw that there was some confusion in her eyes.

"Well, what do you think of this movie?" Ami asked.

My sister pursed her lips and didn't answer immediately, but her eyes basically betrayed his thoughts.

He understands his sister. Although all little girls like to chase stars, fortunately his sister is not an extremely fanatical fan.

Still very sensible.

In the end, his sister shook her head, confirming his guess.

"Are you going back?" my sister asked in a lack of interest, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"I'm not going back." Ami shook his head.

"What are you going to do if you don't go back? You've already watched the movie." My sister couldn't understand.

"I want to watch another movie." Ami said, "You know, your brother is a film and television blogger. I usually post videos on Bilibili. I plan to get some material."

This is Ami's idea.

Originally, his traffic was not very good. He had been doing it for a while, but there was no improvement at all, and he was ready to give up the account.

But now, after watching "New Sea Fortress", he always felt like he had a lot of anger in his heart that he wanted to complain about.

I might as well save some more material and finally release a collection of complaints about the schedule.

For movies like this, he felt that it was better to save as many as possible.

Don’t let more audiences be deceived by the high evaluation and high expectations and rush to be harvested like leeks.

After all, aren’t film and television bloggers there to test poisons for people?

"Huh? You want to wash your eyes yourself?" My sister was a little unhappy at the moment.

"It's not impossible to say that." Ami immediately laughed out loud.

Isn't it time to wash your eyes?

"Then I want one too." The younger sister said, "There's nothing to do when we get back anyway, so let's go together."

So, when buying tickets, Ami also bought two.

It turned out to be a ticket for "Let the Bullets Fly".

Since it is an eye-opener, you have to be steady. Finding a director with stable output is the best choice.

Originally, he also knew Xia Yuan's name.

What can I say about this director? Ami's evaluation is that the output is stable and the quality is very high.

The reason why he didn't choose to watch Xia Yuan's new movie first this time was mainly because, just looking at the title of the movie, he had no interest in it.

"Let the Bullets Fly" will be released on National Day.

It has a strong flavor of an anti-Japanese war movie.

What about today’s anti-Japanese war movies?

Homogenization is quite serious.

It seems like everyone’s photos were printed out from the same template, and no one has any innovation.

Either it's just a bunch of template-like battles to elevate the theme, or it's a masterpiece.

Even Xia Yuan probably can't escape this law.

But now it seems that there is no better choice. At least Xia Yuan's reputation is there.

"Let's go."

After buying the tickets, they entered the theater.

There were not so many people in the theater compared to "New Fortress". Although more than half of the seats were occupied, with a occupancy rate of over 50-70%, it was not always full.

"It's not that popular." My sister gave a comment: "I haven't even heard of the name of this movie before."

"Nonsense, Xia Yuan never does much publicity." Ami replied, "There wasn't even a premiere."

I have to say that the company that Xia Yuan signed with is truly a unique company in the industry.

It's like he doesn't care about traffic, it's like he's been disconnected.

The fact that they didn’t hold a premiere was different from other film studios.

It's like telling fans, if you don't want to watch it, get lost, it's not begging you to watch it at all.

I don’t know how much confidence they have in their ability to dare to go against the market in this way.

Soon, the movie started.

The lights in the theater dimmed. The dragon logo appeared, and then the iconic opening credits of Heye Films appeared.

The first scene after entering the main film is an eagle flying over the mountains.

Accompanied by ethereal music.

"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and the sky is green."

"The evening wind blows the willows and the sound of the flute fades away, the setting sun shines beyond the mountains"

Just a picture came to his mind and made Ami nod his head.

Then, the figure of an old farmer appeared in the picture.

At first, the appearance of this old farmer only made Ami feel that he looked a little familiar.

But for a moment, he couldn't remember who this person was.

Maybe it's an old actor.

He didn't care much, because the old farmer's figure soon disappeared, followed by an impatient "The government is doing business, get out of the way!"

A big head lies on the railroad tracks, and the plot of the movie begins.

The plot of the movie is easy to understand. It is nothing more than a group of people eating hot pot and singing songs on their way to the county town to take up their posts.

Then, while they were happily enjoying themselves, they were robbed by bandits.

Ami could naturally recognize the familiar figure of this bandit.

Oh my goodness, isn’t that Xia Yuan himself?
Xia Yuan plays this role himself? ?

Ami was surprised for a moment.

But I wasn't too surprised. After all, this was not the first time that Xia Yuan directed and acted in a film himself.

However, as the plot progresses, what is even more surprising is that Xia Yuan is not just playing an insignificant little role, but the protagonist.

He is actually going to replace the county magistrate and take office?
Moreover, this is not an anti-war film.

Should it be a comedy instead?

For example, right now, there are audiences in the theater who can't suppress their laughter from time to time.

"Dad, I've searched everywhere, but there's no money, no goods, no silver. There are only two people left alive. Should we kill them or not?"

In the picture, the character played by Xia Yuan turns on an alarm clock.

Gave a close-up.

"Where is the money hidden? Tell me. If you can't tell me before the alarm goes off, you'll lose your head."

"what--"

"Crying? Crying counts as time."

"Hahahahaha."

There was laughter again in the theater.

Including Ami, everyone laughed.

I have to say, he also saw it.

When I was watching "New Sea Fortress" just now, I couldn't get into it for a long time, but now I am immediately attracted to the plot.

how to say?

Contrast! Really, it’s just contrast.

Damn, it turns out that when it comes to movies, you may not be able to tell whether a movie is good or bad just by watching it.

But what is the most frightening thing? The most frightening thing is to be compared with someone who is worse than you!
There is no narration, and no long, forced settings.

A blank screen, combined with the eagle's perspective, directly cuts into the main film.

Then the characters appear, and the plot is coherent and easy to understand. Even without narration, people can understand it, and there is no sense of fragmentation caused by the fragmented images.

And what can I say about this picture? It is much better than the 600 million "New Fortress" I just saw.

And the director's storyboard is very stable.

First of all, there is no long narration to introduce the background story, so that gets one point!
Then, the soundtrack, add another point!
How can I describe the soundtrack from the beginning to now? It is already amazing enough.

Not to mention the sense of matching with the picture.

Then came Xia Yuan's performance.

This was completely beyond Ami's expectations.

Isn't Xia Yuan a director? Why is his acting so good?

Just the presentation of a few short scenes created a huge difference and gap from the "New Sea Fortress" he had just watched.

Even his sister didn't notice that she was also fascinated by the show and was laughing along.
