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

Chapter 21: Beef Joy Must Be Served with Pickled Cabbage (4)

“I haven’t heard of it.”

An Zhong frowned as he held the movie ticket.

He is considered a veteran in the industry, so as for work, he knows which new films are going to be released and which works worth paying attention are ready to be released.

Of course he has always been paying attention to it. Basically, he will pay attention to any rumor.

For example, didn’t they invite him to the premiere of “Tai Xuan” to watch the movie? Although their motives for inviting him were not pure, at least they dared to invite him, which proved that they had enough confidence.

Although it was later proved that it was only based on the defense.

But just as he thought, he basically knew all the good works worth paying attention to in the summer season.

But he has never even heard of "Vulgar Comedy", which proves that it is not a work produced by a well-known company or crew.

And what’s weird is not just this, but the details on the movie ticket.

"Restricted?" An Zhong looked at the label with some doubt.

This is actually a movie with a restricted rating of 18+? No wonder the front desk staff asked him and his girlfriend to take out their ID cards. He felt very strange at the time. Do you need ID cards to watch movies during the summer vacation?

They are not in a private cinema room. There is no water bed or bathtub inside. Why do they need an ID card?

Feelings are restricted.

But it’s restricted during the summer vacation?
Is this really a Chinese sentence? Can this really form a human sentence? Then why does this sentence look so strange to him?
How is this different from restricting the audience and screening them from watching? Aren’t the students who are out of school the ones who have the most traffic in the summer season?

And there is a [Cantonese] logo on it.

"Could it be a Hong Kong movie? But that doesn't make sense. The ticket says 'mainland'." An Zhong frowned.

Since the front desk clerk at the cinema directly gave us the Cantonese tickets without asking, there is only one possibility, that is, there is no Mandarin version of this movie at all!
When we think about the Cantonese films in recent years, it is clear that there have been many bad films and not many good works. It is obvious that compared with the golden age 20 years ago, Cantonese films have declined and are no longer glorious.

Considering the fact that he had never heard of the film, An Zhong thought of a possibility.

Could this be some shoddy work made for fun by some unknown crew?

There is also a great possibility that they found something that people use specifically to launder money.

In fact, there are quite a few films of this kind in every schedule, and they basically go up for a while and then go down within a few days.

For this kind of movie, don't even talk about quality. There is no such thing as quality, and it's basically not good to watch.

An Zhong began to back down.

I originally watched a bad movie with Tigress, but now it has become a hit.

If he watches another worse movie, will he still want to use his knees tonight?

Even though the plot of "Tai Xuan" is bad, the investment is there, and the visuals and special effects are not bad.

But what do these wild crews have?
I'm afraid it's even more eye-catching.

So he walked up to her with a bit of annoyance: "Well, why don't we just stop watching? It's getting late now, let's go eat hotpot, and then find a place to have a spa?"

"I don't!" The girlfriend didn't buy it at all. She snorted coldly and turned away, raising her head with a proud attitude.

"Okay, okay!" An Zhong could only nod helplessly.

Next, he took his girlfriend into the theater as if he was being tortured.

Fortunately, this is a Cantonese-speaking area, so even if he is not from Guangdong, he should not have any difficulty in listening.

What's more, Cantonese is the most popular dialect in China. Once a Hong Kong style swept across the country, people in many parts of the country speak it. Even if I can't speak it, I have no problem understanding it.

Although he didn't have any expectations, he went in with a nearly terrible state.

There was no way, he was almost poisoned to death just now.

As soon as he entered the theater, An Zhong was surprised to find that there were actually quite a few people.

It can even be called a lot.

This was a small theater, which could hold about 2 people. It also had a common D screen, and now it was visible that almost half of the people were seated there. It was not as deserted as he had imagined, with only the two of them in the theater.

An Zhong thought that there were probably many people who had the same experience as them. They wanted to watch other shows but couldn't buy tickets, so they could only come to the only show available.

Soon, the movie was about to start. Some people came in one after another. The attendance rate of a single show was about 55%. The lights in the theater dimmed suddenly. There was another familiar piece of music, and the familiar dragon logo appeared.

Next, there is a very beautiful opening. At dusk, there is a golden rice field, and the breeze blows down one or two red leaves on the trees.

The next moment, the picture was broken by a pair of children's feet, and an innocent child ran across the rice field with a smile.

Soon, the above elements were interwoven into a logo.

【Heye Films】

"This opening is pretty good." An Zhong was a little surprised.

The quality of the opening credits doesn't feel like it was shoddily produced by a random crew.

Anyway, it reveals the aura of a strong person.

Of course, what he didn't know was that behind this opening, Tang Ying was thinking of making more gains in other aspects.

As for the title, in her opinion it is not important, just having it is enough, but this is also a necessary expense, so she must pay attention to every detail and make it as expensive as possible!
So she spent 1.45 million to make this title.

Yes, actually the title sequence is very expensive, not cheap.

But unlike other movies, which may be co-produced and have title sequences from many companies, this movie only has this one.

The main film started directly.

First, there is a voice-over commentary: "Dear viewers, please note that this film has been approved by the Film and Television Department as a 'vulgar' comedy."

The word "vulgar" appeared in large letters on the screen.

The picture also has a deliberately old-fashioned snowy feel.

Narration: "The content is full of obscene language, adult themes, political inaccuracies, discrimination, and pornographic descriptions. Therefore, this film is classified as "Parental Criticism", which is one level higher than the "Parental Guidance" category."

"Pfft."

At this point, some people couldn't help laughing out loud.

Among them was Anzhong.

After laughing, he was stunned for a moment.

Something's wrong. Something's very wrong. It's just beginning, the pictures haven't even appeared yet, and he's already been amused by a voice-over?
He sensed an unusual aura, and his dead heart was rekindled. He straightened his body slightly and sat up.

Next to it: "If the audience cannot accept the above subject matter, we will provide a ten-second buffer time to allow everyone to leave the theater immediately."

After the narration, a countdown really appeared on the screen.

"What the hell? The movie is personally kicking people out?" An Zhong was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

But leave? How is that possible?

Judging from the simple opening, this movie is quite entertaining!

As the ten seconds counted down, no one left and everyone continued to watch with great interest.

Ten seconds later, the funny narration came out again: "If anyone continues to watch this film and causes any uneasiness, discomfort, unhappiness, or even impotence, this film and the hospital clearly state that it has nothing to do with me, that's it!"

"Pfft..."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Another round of low laughter.

It feels like watching a comedy.

On the other side, in Shangjing, in a luxurious lounge.

A premiere had just been held here and the place is currently taking a break.

The current chief director of "Tai Xuan", the well-known director Zhang Zelin, had a gloomy face, his hands behind his back, and was silent.

From his expression, we could tell that he was not in a good mood, or even in a bad mood, as if he had encountered something unpleasant.
