Chapter 570 Are you sure Lin Fan didn't go to change his head? (Seeking monthly tickets, requesting recommendation tickets~~~)
The plot of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very simple, and there is also a comic version on the Internet, so everyone has a general idea of the development of the entire movie.
Even You Min, who is biased, has to admit that as long as Lin Fan makes the movie according to the comic version and there are no logical flaws, then the movie will be a success and the box office will not be a problem.
You Min was too impatient to watch the opening credits, so she looked around and discovered that the person sitting in front of her on the right was the representative of the Shengxia Cinema Line, Huamei Cinema Line's primary competitor.
Moreover, what was very rare was that the representative of Shengxia Cinema Line this time was not a small fry like himself, but the person in charge, Tao Zheng! When You Min saw Tao Zheng, he thought he was dazzled, but after a closer look, he confirmed that it was him. This surprised You Min even more.
Shouldn't Tao Zheng be at the screenings of those commercial blockbusters and sci-fi masterpieces? Why did he come here instead? Is he optimistic about this movie?
You Min's heart was full of questions, but no one could give her an accurate answer. She could only be patient and focus on the movie, trying to find the answers she wanted.
The movie begins with a spooky night scene and the sound of a creepy flute. The camera is focused on an obviously abandoned monument, and three traditional Chinese characters are presented to the audience from top to bottom:
Lanruo Temple! The camera zoomed out, and in the dim light, two stone statues standing guard at the intersection could still be vaguely seen, but a gust of wind blew along the ground, rolling up the thick pile of fallen leaves, and the few dead leaves on the top layer, and the dilapidated temple came into view.
The lens usage is pretty good.
You Min thought to herself, at least the atmosphere was created and it didn't distract people from the show.
On the big screen, a dim light was reflected from the paper window. A scholar was wearing an outer coat, sitting in the temple, reading by lamplight at night.
The night wind gently blew open the window, and also blew up the veil in front of the window, blowing all the way to the scholar's face. The scholar suddenly saw that a woman in white veil had appeared in front of the window, dancing gracefully.
As the woman spun and moved, a piece of white gauze fell on the scholar. The scholar sniffed the charming fragrance of the white gauze and was gently led to her side, little by little.
The scholar stood up and followed the white gauze. The books fell on the desk, and the lantern beside the desk fell into the washbasin. Behind the gauze curtain, the woman took the scholar's hand and gently pressed it against her. The scholar was obsessed with the woman's beauty, whispering in her ears, but he didn't know that he was in danger.
In the strange and confusing atmosphere, the bell worn on the woman's ankle was gently ringing, and outside the temple, something was approaching rapidly.
You Min looked at the big screen nervously, knowing that this was the prelude to some big boss's appearance, but she couldn't help but worry about the scholar, shouting in her heart: Run! Run! Unfortunately, the scholar was obsessed with the beauty of the woman, and his eyes could only see the beautiful woman. When the scholar finally saw something, it was too late.
With a scream, the lantern was knocked over in the water, and the last bit of warm light dimmed.
A piece of red floated upward from the bottom of the big screen. Four black brush-written characters suddenly appeared on the screen amid the background music: A Chinese Ghost Story!
"hiss!"
There was a sound of gasps in the screening room, as well as very low voices talking to each other.
"This opening doesn't look like the work of a newbie at all!"
"The camera is used very skillfully and the expression is very clear. The prelude of the whole story is revealed. If the standard of this opening is maintained, this film will not be bad at all!"
"Hey! It's more than good. The opening is so thrilling and beautiful. If nothing else, it's very eye-catching, okay?"
really!
Throughout the entire opening credits, the woman's face was not fully revealed, but the overall atmosphere was rendered very well. Even though her face could not be seen, her graceful figure, her long black hair, and her profile seen through the gauze curtain all showed her beauty.
It is this kind of hazy, intangible and incomprehensible that makes it even more attractive! Lin Fan really has raised everyone's expectations for the heroine! This is not a movie made by a newbie, even if it is a movie made by some film masters, it is just like this! Here, the theater representatives were still sighing at the opening, but the next moment, they were attracted by a passionate flute sound.
"The road of life is as long as a beautiful dream—"
In the melody composed of the guzheng and flute, the thick haze on the big screen that seemed to never dissipate was completely switched with the sound of this music. The sun suddenly sprinkled down and dispelled the shadows in the hearts of the audience.
Amid the sound of this smooth, lively, and highly infectious music, Lin Fan, wearing a grayish-white scholar's robe that had been washed so hard that its original color could not be seen, and carrying a bamboo basket, walked from the other end of the road. The camera then zoomed in, shooting from his chest all the way to his face.
You Min couldn't recognize Lin Fan at first!
Is this bookish person really the Lin Fan who shines so brightly on the stage? Are you sure Lin Fan didn't change his head?
An idol from a talent show, a popular singer, appeared in a costume movie, and he didn't distract from the show at all!
You Min pinched her thigh: Hiss! It hurts! I’m not dreaming! This is not over yet. As the scholar walked along the mountain road, the music followed: “The wind and frost on the road blow dryly—”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was not until this moment that You Min, as well as all the theater representatives at the entire film screening, realized that Lin Fan had written a new song for this movie!
And this song is so good! The combination of the guzheng and the flute is absolutely amazing. The sound is clear and melodious, and the penetration is also very strong. Combined with the dark tone at the beginning of the movie, it fully reflects the confusion of a young man on the road of life, and the optimistic spirit of never giving up even if the road ahead is uncertain! "How many directions does a beautiful dream have in the world of mortals?
Looking for the love in my dreamy heart The road is endless——"
More importantly, this movie is clearly labeled as a "horror movie". Although the beginning is thrilling, it is not scary at all. Instead, it is full of beautiful and dreamy feeling.
Then, with Lin Fan's appearance, the atmosphere of the whole movie changed! The scholar was hungry on the road, so he found a place to sit down and eat, but the lunch he took out was so hard that it could break a stone! The scholar was so angry that he kicked the lunch away, and then he found that there was a hole in his shoe without knowing when, and his toes were almost sticking out!
You Min was confused: This is a horror movie? You call this a horror movie?
If your lighthearted, slightly dreamy and glamorous movie is a horror movie, then what were those bloody, gooey things I watched before called? Slasher movies?
A bloody horror movie?
Blood? Blood? …
