Chapter 168 Do you want to go up and sit for a while?
The movie "Big Hero 6" is not very long, only about a hundred minutes, and it was just past six o'clock when we finished watching it.
"How did you feel about it?" Meng Bai asked after walking out of the theater.
"Not bad, the plot is quite interesting, and the music is pretty nice. Oh, and Baymax is so cute, I really want to raise one."
Song Zhi's little face was full of envy.
Meng Bai grinned: "I'll buy a Samoyed later, the effect will be similar."
"Yeah, it's true, Samoyed really looks like Dabai." Song Zhi thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's too troublesome to raise a dog. Besides, it's not convenient to bring one with you when you're filming, so I can't raise one."
After sighing for a while, she looked at Meng Bai beside her and asked, "By the way, I saw you were distracted in the second half, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just wondering when domestic films can have such a high level of industrialization." Meng Bai changed the subject, "It's going to start in a while, do you want to eat something?"
"No need." Song Zhi stroked his belly and frowned, "I just ate another bucket of popcorn, and I feel like my weight will definitely collapse tomorrow."
"Just a little exercise in the evening."
"Oh, it's so hard." Song Zhi sighed: "Isn't there any kind of exercise that is easy, doesn't require much movement, and consumes a lot of energy?"
Meng Bai pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly seemed to think of something, a smile appeared on his face, looking at Song Zhi with an expression that seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Song Zhi was a little confused at first, but as a woman with practical experience, she quickly realized what Meng Bai wanted to say.
"...Pervert!"
"Hey, girl, let's be reasonable, I didn't say anything, it's all in your mind."
"You didn't say it, but you thought about it. It's not okay to think about it, and it's wrong to think about it... Oops! You hit me again!"
Song Zhi covered his head and glared at me in pain.
Meng Bai retracted his hand: "Why are you learning movie lines for no reason?"
"I suddenly thought of it."
Dinner was late in the afternoon, and neither of them had much appetite at this time. After strolling at the door for a while, seeing that it was almost time, they came back to watch the second show of "Wolf Warrior".
Twenty years ago, action movies were actually a specialty of domestic movies. From Bruce Lee to Big Brother Cheng, plus the later Li Lianjie, Donnie Yen and others, they relied on "Kung Fu" to open up the Hollywood market.
Unfortunately, this type of action film is mostly supported by the personal style of the actors. As this group of action actors gradually aged and their skills declined, the excitement of the movies gradually decreased, and the golden age of domestic action movies slowly passed.
In the global film market, action movies have always been one of the hottest elements of the major genres. Whether it is "007", "The Bourne Identity", "John Wick" or "The Expendables", they can all be counted in the category of action movies.
Domestic movies do want to be made, but unfortunately there is a lack of action actors. Like Shi Xiaolong and Xie Miao, they have no resources and no popularity, and gradually they are like ordinary people.
In comparison, Wu Jing, who just turned 40 this year, can already be regarded as a leader among the new generation of action actors.
Before the movie started, Meng Bai searched the Internet for news about "Wolf Warrior". Maybe it was because it was just released, the popularity was not high, and there was not much publicity.
However, there was one piece of information that attracted his attention, that is, it took seven years from writing the script to the release of this movie. In the end, due to insufficient funds, Wu Jing mortgaged his house to make up the budget.
This operation made him think of the old brothers Guo Fan and Gongger.
Why do people like to sell houses so much when making movies these days?
But it can be seen that the housing prices are indeed expensive.
Meng Bai didn't take the movie "Wolf Warrior" seriously at the beginning. It was mainly to kill time and support domestic films by the way.
There is no way. Every time he heard some propaganda such as "preparation for seven or eight years" and "polishing for more than ten years", he automatically classified it as a "bad movie".
But as he watched, he found that this movie is actually not bad.
Although some plots and lines are a bit awkward, it is quite smooth overall, and is not inferior to those conventional Hollywood blockbusters.
After the movie ended and walked out of the theater, Meng Bai suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Song Zhi asked, "Do you think it's not good?"
"No, it's pretty good."
"Then why are you sighing?"
Meng Bai shook his head and said, "Looking at the ending of this movie, there should be a second part. The box office performance of the first part should be good, and the sequel will probably not lack investment. Companies like Arc Light, which don't have many film resources, probably don't have investment opportunities. I just sighed and watched a profitable project slip away."
Song Zhi was speechless. You also sighed about this. No wonder you can make money.
When they walked out of the cinema, it was already past nine o'clock.
"Where else do you want to go?" Meng Bai asked after getting in the car.
Song Zhi thought about it and finally said, "I'm tired all day, let's go home."
Meng Bai started the car and came to Song Zhi's apartment complex with a familiar way.
"We're here." Meng Bai parked the car and looked at the dark night outside. "Are the street lights still broken?"
"Yes, the community is not a municipal government, and there is no property management, so naturally no one repairs it." Song Zhi said.
"Well——" Meng Bai nodded and opened the car door, "I'll take you downstairs, it's safer."
"Okay."
The two walked side by side on the bumpy stone road, without speaking to each other, and the atmosphere was quiet.
Feeling the familiar breath beside him, Song Zhi pursed his lips and smiled.
I remember when they were together and came back late, they also walked like this.
It's great, I want to keep walking like this.
But the road has an end after all. Not long after walking, Meng Bai's footsteps stopped.
Song Zhi, who didn't react, bumped into him directly, took a step back and stood firm, raised his head and asked in confusion: "Why did you stop?"
"Downstairs." Meng Bai pointed to the door next to him with his side face.
Although he hadn't been here for a long time, his body's memory still made him remember it.
"So fast..." Song Zhi muttered.
With her back to the door downstairs, she looked up at Meng Bai: "Today, I trouble you."
"It's okay, after all, I promised you before." Meng Bai waved his hand.
After a pause, seeing that the girl didn't respond, he turned around and said, "You go upstairs, I'm going back."
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Seeing that Meng Bai was about to leave, Song Zhi hurriedly called him.
Meng Bai smiled silently, then turned around and asked with a natural expression, "What's the matter, is there anything else?"
"Well..." Song Zhi pondered for a few seconds, then took a deep breath, and tried to keep a calm voice and said, "Do you want to go upstairs and sit down and have a glass of water?"
After saying that, she looked at the other party nervously.
The scattered moonlight shone down, reflecting on each other's faces, bringing a faint light.
Looking at the girl's expression that was a little nervous and a little expectant, Meng Bai nodded and said, "Okay."
Song Zhi's face was happy, and then he restrained his expression, hummed, and turned to go upstairs.
