After breakfast, the fishing boat began to slowly head back.
"Uncle Captain, is there a TV or computer on the ship?" Chen Muyang asked the captain.
"There are computers, but the TV can't be moved."
Life on the boat is very boring. After getting off the internet, there is nothing to do, so some simple entertainment facilities are prepared on the boat, such as watching movies.
"Captain, please move the computer to the deck. I'm inviting everyone on board to watch a movie today." Chen Muyang said.
He has the master tape of "A Chinese Odyssey" here, which can be watched by plugging it into the computer, but it is not as comfortable as watching it in the cinema.
Would you please watch a movie?
The captain was confused for a moment. You can just search for the movie online and watch it. Why bother inviting someone?
Perhaps seeing the captain's doubts, Chen Muyang explained:
"My movie is showing in the cinema today. No one has seen it yet. It's a new comedy. It's New Year's Eve, so let's have some fun together."
"Okay, boss, I'll go move the computer out right away."
Among the people on the boat, apart from Chen Muyang, only Huo Tingting had seen the master tape.
The computer was set up soon. Chen Muyang plugged the USB drive into the computer and started playing "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella".
Nine o'clock sharp,
Cinemas across the country also began screening "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella."
The Hong Kong retro style at the beginning of the film is eye-catching.
The subtitles show the leading actors, producers, directors and other characters, as well as photos.
Then there was "Who is the Hero" sung by Zhang Geshen, the melody was quite passionate and inspiring.
"Unique skills...Great martial arts..."
Then comes a narration:
"Eastern Evil, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar, and Central Divine Power are characters from Chen Muyang's The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I'm sure everyone has seen them, but few know about their absurd deeds in their youth. Hehehe! The following story might scare you."
Then the movie started, Ouyang Feng rushed into the palace...
As the plot unfolds, the unexpected twists keep coming one after another, making people laugh until they can't stop.
There was constant laughter on the boat, and even Huo Tingting, who had watched it once, was covering her mouth and chuckling.
Not to mention the laughter in the cinema.
For this book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it was first released as an e-book, then as a physical book, and later it was made into a TV series.
It cannot be said to be a household name known to everyone, but it can also be said that more than 80% of the people in China have read the novel, watched the TV series, etc.
King Liu plays Ouyang Feng, who is considered the villain in the whole movie.
But sometimes some of the silly micro-expressions and exaggerated body movements make this character stand out with a sense of humor, which is just right!
On board.
"Sister, haven't you seen it? Why are you still laughing?" Young Master Wang suddenly asked.
At this moment, I saw the plot where Ouyang Feng and Hong Qi met.
"Just watch your movie and don't talk!" Huo Tingting retorted.
"This is the magic of this movie. No matter how many times you watch it, you can't help laughing." Chen Muyang said.
"You have brought such trouble upon King Liu." Young Master Wang muttered.
"It's what the role requires." Chen Muyang couldn't help laughing when he saw King Liu with his sausage mouth.
The captain and his sailors couldn't stop laughing.
Bursts of laughter floated across the sea.
Some of the audience watching the movie in the cinema were so exhausted from laughing that they couldn't stop laughing.
Who has ever seen King Liu and Zhang Geshen look like this?
Who wouldn't laugh?
Thanks to director Chen Muyang and the participation of famous Hong Kong actors and singers such as Andy Lau and Zhang Geshen, this Lunar New Year film has a very high attendance rate.
But compared to ordinary audiences, some professionals in the industry see something deeper.
The overall performance of the film seems exaggerated, illogical, simple and nonsensical, but through the presentation of the actors, everything becomes reasonable and natural, while also bringing joy to the audience!
This made them have to admire Chen Muyang!
Whether it is the shooting technique or the way the script is presented, it is amazing!
The movie, which lasted more than a hundred minutes, ended quickly. At the end of the movie, the god who had become a god came to wish everyone a happy new year.
The movie's best actor and best singer have become unruly.
This is a true New Year's film!
"Boss, your movie is really good. Everyone laughed so happily just now." The captain said after the movie ended.
He was originally going to spend the New Year at home, but someone offered him a large sum of money to rent a boat, and the offer was so high that he couldn't refuse.
"It's Chinese New Year, and we still want you to take us out to sea. I feel really sorry that you can't celebrate the New Year with your family." Chen Muyang waved his hand and said.
"Boss, what are you talking about? We are doing this for money. Besides, we have made a lot of money on this trip. When we get back to shore, I will take my brothers to the cinema to watch it again to show our support to you," said the captain.
"Haha, thank you very much, Captain."
"Boss, can you please stop the boat here? The depth here is about 60 to 100 meters, which is quite suitable for diving."
"Okay, let's stop here." Chen Muyang nodded.
The captain took his men to raise the nets. They just sailed this way and cast another net.
The first wave of reviews for "A Chinese Odyssey" has come out.
"This movie is really good. I couldn't stop laughing."
"It has a unique flavor of Hong Kong martial arts films, and the whole film is very funny. It is unique in the entire film industry."
"Chen Muyang has a unique perspective on comedy. From the pioneering road comedy of Lost on Journey, to the black humor of Crazy Stone, to the absurd yet hilarious films like East is West, all of these demonstrate his talent for comedy writing."
“It’s really good, full of unexpected laughs.”
Of course, while the film received positive reviews, some self-proclaimed senior professionals in the industry criticized it for having no cultural connotations and being funny for the sake of being funny, with no logic at all.
But he was quickly counterattacked by powerful netizens.
"I'm watching a comedy just to have fun, and you're telling me the inner meaning?"
"The Spring Festival Gala is so rich in content every year, why is it criticized for getting worse and worse?"
"Whether a movie is good or not depends on what the audience says."
Huo Tingting paid attention to the news on the Internet, and laughed it off, whether good or bad, and didn't intend to pay any attention to it.
At this time, the captain had already set up the net and caught a net of migratory swimming crabs, weighing about 1,000 kilograms.
The captain's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
This trip was worth it.
"Captain, I heard that crabs were caught. I came to buy some to give to my friends." Chen Muyang saw baskets of crabs being put into the ice bin.
"Boss, what do you want to buy? Without you, I can't get it. You even invited us to see a movie. You can take as much as you want." The captain smiled and waved his hand.
Chen Muyang asked for two baskets, but the captain refused to take the money, so he had to give up.
