Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 217 Flower Love Released
Friday
Zhong Qianxue has been absent-minded since morning.

She first watched Su Yan's work when she was a freshman in college. She still vividly remembered the heart-wrenching emotion that the online broadcast of Rurouni Kenshin brought to her.

Now, she has graduated for more than a year and has experienced the triple blow of life, work and heartbreak.

But even so, she watched all of Su Yan's works without missing a single one.

It took her more than half a month to adjust her mentality after watching 5 Centimeters per Second which was released last month.

And today.
Since the afternoon, she had been concentrating on the movie that would be shown at eight o'clock in the evening.

At six o'clock, the company got off work on time. After leaving the company, she had dinner alone, then took a walk until seven-thirty, and then came to the cinema where she had booked the movie ticket.

once in
It can be said that there are huge crowds of people.

This has always been the case with movie theaters in big cities, not to mention that it is now the end of summer vacation, and a large number of students cherish their semi-annual long vacation even more at this time, and students who choose to go to the theater to watch movies are everywhere.

Generally speaking, students would not be particularly interested in Su Yan's depressing romance works. They prefer fantasy special effects popcorn movies like Xianshan.

But in fact, among the people queuing up to buy tickets, the number of people who chose the movie 5 Centimeters per Second is relatively high.

But this situation is understandable.

For most movie fans, they will watch whatever the market promotes to them.

Su Yan is so famous, and the influence of the release of "Five Seconds" is still there. Moreover, today is the first day of its release, and the movie "Love Like a Bouquet" is basically in the center of the lobby in all major theaters.

The film's screening volume was also the highest today, reaching 21%.

Hua Lian’s two competitors, Xian Shan, had 20% of the screenings, while Zhen Shi had 17%.

This is the result of marketing, publicity, and theater chains' expectations of market trends before the film is released.

Everyone is optimistic about Su Yan and his new movie, so they gave Hua Lian such a high first-day screening schedule.

All of these will affect the audience's movie-watching choices.

And if the attendance, reputation and total box office data of "Hua Lian" are all good today, the major theaters in Xiaguo will make box office scheduling adjustments based on today's data tomorrow.

As time passed, Zhong Qianxue's mood gradually improved.

Su Yan's fans in the theater also became active, and everyone frequently looked at their watches.

Then, according to the announcement, everyone lined up to enter.

After entering the theater, Zhong Qianxue observed the audience.

One third are couples, one third are students, and one third are singles like her.

In this show, almost 70% of the seats in the theater were filled.

"What a bunch of people who don't believe in evil." Zhong Qianxue smiled.

As a fan of Su Yan, she was naturally very happy to see so many people supporting Su Yan's new work.

But after 5 Seconds was released last month, a lot of couples had conflicts after watching it, and this month there are still so many couples who dare to watch it.
That's just being stubborn.

Don’t be fooled by the trailer of Flower Love, which looks so warm.

But Zhong Qianxue didn't believe that the movie would have a happy ending at all.

While Zhong Qianxue was thinking about these questions, advertisements began to play on the cinema screen.

Some are local real estate ads.

But some are advertisements for movies that will be released in the next few months.

Among them, there is a familiar scene.

On a messy mountain path, there was a woman in a kimono sitting on the road, and in front of the woman, there was a man holding a long sword with a sinister expression.

Zhong Qianxue didn’t know who this man was, but this woman.

Shen Liqian.
Since Shen Liqian is involved, is there any need to tell me what work this movie trailer is about?
The four words "Rurouni Kenshin" emerged in Zhong Qianxue's mind.

Her heart suddenly tightened.

In the theater, a large number of Su Yan's fans also thought of this and exclaimed in surprise.

"Rurouni Kenshin."

"Damn, the image quality is a hundred times better than the TV version!"

"Is Shen Liqian the heroine?"

"Awesome."

"Where's Kenshin?"

[Go to hell.] The man said in a low voice.

He swung his sword and slashed down without any hesitation.

At this moment, the camera switches, zooming up and out.

A man in red clothes jumped down from a height. There were no wires or special effects. He rolled over under the sword in a real one-shot shot and saved the woman.

The man looked up, revealing a handsome face beneath his hair and a cross-shaped scar on his cheek.

And
In the TV series version, Kenshin Himura's smile was something that no one saw even once.

[Rurouni Kenshin will be released nationwide on February 2.6. 】

Released half a year in advance, this promotional trailer lasted only ten seconds, but it amazed everyone in the theater.

Zhong Qianxue was so excited that she almost cheered.

Cattle!
Kenshin Himura is the most suitable film and television role for Su Yan, and it is also the beginning of her love for Su Yan's works.

But
There was no time for her to think about it.

The lights in the theater dimmed.

The movie begins with a love story like a bouquet of flowers.

The scene begins in a cafe. Two couples sitting at adjacent tables look at the third couple at the third table and begin their predictions.

Of the two pairs of couples, the man from the left pair and the woman from the right pair sat with their backs to each other. They didn't notice the people behind them and both were looking at the couple at the third table.

The couple at the third table were listening to something with a pair of headphones, each wearing one.

[Those two people don't like music. The music is not mono, but binaural. If you listen with headphones, the sound on the left and right are different. If you only wear one headphone, it's a different song.] The man said to his girlfriend.

[Like a sandwich, if you eat bacon and lettuce separately, is that still a sandwich? If two people eat pork chop rice, one eats rice and the other eats pork chop, can they both be considered to be eating pork chop rice? Although two people want to listen to the same song, in fact, they hear different content.] The woman at the table behind her looked at her boyfriend and started the topic.

Eh?
Zhong Qianxue looked confused.

Is there such a thing?

Come to think of it, she had done something similar with her boyfriend.

A pair of headphones, one for each person.

According to these two people's theories, everyone actually listens to their own opinions.

And
Why is this picture so interesting?

It is clearly men and women explaining the problems of doing this to their partners.

But it seems that their respective partners don’t understand this at all. Instead, these two people sitting back to back with each other seem to understand each other’s thoughts.

Next, the conversation between the two people after camera editing can be inexplicably continued.

A smile appeared on Zhong Qianxue's lips.
Otherwise, you two should break up with your partners and then get together.

The two became angrier and angrier as they talked, and finally could no longer tolerate the fact that the couple at the third table thought they were enjoying a piece of music together but were actually listening to their own music, so they stood up together and prepared to correct that couple's behavior.

The sound of the two people standing up at the same time and moving their chairs also attracted each other's attention.

Both the man and the woman turned their heads and looked at each other behind them.

Both of their expressions became complicated and subtle.

Then, like a child who has done something wrong, he quietly retreated and nervously continued to chat with his partner about other topics.
These two people definitely know each other, but they are just pretending not to know each other.

Zhong Qianxue blinked her eyes. It seemed that the very beginning of the movie made people feel a little sad!

The camera switched to the heroine Yatani Jun, played by Shen Liqian.

The background narration introduces her identity.

And some laws that Zhong Qianxue could relate to.

[This is the only thing that makes me feel that the world is real. If toast falls on the ground, it must have been spread with butter! ]

real
The background narration continues to advance the plot and informs the audience of the woman's identity.

A ramen review blogger who is quite famous on the Internet because of his hobby.

A female college student who is about to graduate and look for a job.

A cute girl who has a quiet personality but actually has rich and varied emotions inside. She appears polite on the surface, but she secretly complains when her male friend suggests that she go to a barbecue restaurant to eat barbecue even though she is wearing a sweater.

Then, the male friend met a cuter girl on the way and let her go home alone.

Then she missed the last bus and had to stay in an Internet cafe for one night.

Bad luck.
But Zhong Qianxue immediately felt involved.

The perspective switches to the male protagonist.

A man with a similar personality, who doesn't say anything on the surface but will complain about all the unreasonable things around him in his heart.

Both of them are trying to please their friends.

Socializing, living, finding a job, and then
I was so tired that I complained all the way home.

Zhong Qianxue is like this every day at the company. In her mind, she has complained about her boss hundreds of times, but every time she sees her, she still has to smile.

The two people did not know each other, but their living habits and customs were surprisingly similar.

Even things like missing out on an exhibition you wanted to go to can happen.

Then, one night, we ran into the subway station from both sides of the street, trying to catch the last train home, and
They fell together at the ticket gate.

When Zhong Qianxue saw this, she smiled like an aunt.

Although, but.
This plot introducing the male and female protagonists is a bit sweet!
This is what it means to be a person with exactly the same life frequency, right?

Two people who don't know each other have surprisingly similar living habits and hobbies.

Forget about missing the same exhibition on the same day.

I also missed the last bus on the same day.

Of course, there was also a couple who missed the last bus like them.

Four men and women who didn't know each other proposed to get together somewhere, spend the night together, and take the first bus tomorrow morning.

Um.
This is the difference between the people of Sakurajima and the people of the mainland.

Strangers can make plans to have dinner together for this reason.

But from here on, the movie enters the main plot.

In the original movie, the four met Mamoru Oshii, a famous director in the Sakurajima area, in a tavern.

Because among the four people, the male and female protagonists find it incredible that the other two people are completely unaware of each other's identities even though they are right in front of the big names in this industry, and instead talk about other film and television works.

However, in the Xiaguo version, Oshii Mamoru's role was replaced by Su Yan, and the male protagonist Yamane Mugi and the female protagonist Yatani Kinu met Su Yan himself in this tavern.
Su Yan's cameo was very short, but when Su Yan appeared as "Su Yan" with Shinozaki Yumi, the golden partner in the TV industry,
Zhong Qianxue, a group of people in the theater collectively shouted.

Can it still be like this?
No wonder Su Yan said he didn't play any role in this movie.

You are yourself in this movie!
Is this a little Easter egg?
