Chapter 579: I’m afraid a dark horse will emerge this summer!
There was some commotion at the scene, especially among the professional film critics. In just two short opening paragraphs, they had already sensed Lin Fan's intention in making this film, as well as the profound meaning of this theme song.
Many film critics have even taken out the small notebooks they carry with them and written down a few key words or short sentences in the notebooks under the light coming through the big screen.
"This male protagonist's appearance is a little funny, and also a little sad. What's going on?"
"That's right. Seeing this scholar so miserable, I feel inexplicably sad, but I can't help but want to laugh. Am I too unsympathetic?"
"I think it's pretty good. Fanfan's acting is pretty good!"
…
The audience was also a little restless and talked in low voices for a few words, but they soon quieted down again and stared at the big screen intently. They were completely immersed in the movie.
But for the main creative staff, they have watched the finished film of "A Chinese Ghost Story" many times, especially Lin Fan and Liang Wen, who almost vomited after watching it. So they didn't pay attention to the plot of the movie, but quietly observed the audience's reaction.
The observed results made everyone very satisfied, because the audience was completely immersed in the plot of the movie, staring at the big screen intently, and seemed unwilling to miss even a second.
Not only the audience, but also the guest actors Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang, as well as the celebrity guests invited to attend the premiere, watched the film with great interest.
Such on-site reactions made Lin Fan and other main creative staff feel very satisfied.
Yang Hongxia is the best at observation. After her observation, she was able to determine that the film was already half successful. As long as the follow-up was not broken, it would be a qualified commercial film.
The plot continues to advance.
A rather lively small town appeared in front of the audience, but the streets were full of overbearing soldiers, holding wanted documents and arresting people at will. Even Ning Caichen was almost arrested as a wanted criminal. Fortunately, there was no one who looked like Ning Caichen in the thick stack of wanted documents, so Ning Caichen escaped.
But when Ning Caichen left, his back was covered with talismans. The talisman vendor hurriedly chased him, but this caused chaos among the officers and soldiers.
In the audience, when some film critics saw the scene with the talisman printed on Ning Caichen’s back, they had a flash of realization in their minds: this should be a foreshadowing of the subsequent plot.
At the same time, I was a little surprised. Lin Fan was very proficient in such shooting techniques and ideas! How could he be a novice? Would a novice dare to plant a hidden line at the beginning of the movie?
Perhaps, we should raise our expectations for Lin Fan's movie.
On the big screen, Ning Caichen finally found the inn where he was supposed to collect the money, but when he took out the account book, he found that the heavy rain had soaked the ink on the account book into a black mass, and he couldn't see anything clearly. The innkeeper naturally refused to admit the debt and took the opportunity to drive Ning Caichen out.
Ning Caichen, who was unable to collect his bills and had no money, asked passers-by where he could stay for free. As soon as the three words "Lanruo Temple" came out, the originally noisy street suddenly became quiet! Everyone cast their eyes on Ning Caichen.
The instantaneous switching of movement and stillness, the attention of the people of Guobei County and Ning Caichen's ignorance clearly presented the weirdness of Lanruo Temple.
In the audience, someone couldn't help but exclaimed: "This shot is great! Lin Fan's expressiveness is still very good!"
The others didn't say anything, but nodded silently.
On the big screen, as Ning Caichen moved into Lanruo Temple, the entire story of the film began to slowly unfold: the ferocious wolves in the woods did not dare to chase Ning Caichen into Lanruo Temple;
In the dilapidated temple, two people with great martial arts skills are fighting each other; the knight leaves alone and washes his wounds by the river, but sees a beautiful woman in white appearing in the river; Ning Caichen stays in Lanruo Temple despite all dissuasion. The dried corpse slowly approaching from the beam and the faint sound of the piano in the night unfold a psychedelic and terrifying picture for the audience.
The audience stood in a God's perspective. On the one hand, they were worried about Ning Caichen, a scholar who knew nothing. On the other hand, they were concerned that Yan Chixia, a martial arts master, had discovered the beautiful and charming Xiaoqian. Their feelings were mixed and difficult to describe.
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the rivalry between Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen also made the audience very excited. It was a situation full of dangers, but the ignorant Ning Caichen solved it by accident. And the foreshadowing set up before was also revealed here, and the transition was harmonious and interesting.
The misunderstanding between Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia is also so interesting and full of humor.
The audience watched with great interest, occasionally exchanging a few words in a low voice, but more often than not, they stared intently at the big screen, unwilling to miss any of the plot.
Then, a classic scene suddenly caught everyone's attention! Xiaoqian was getting dressed! With the psychedelic and enchanting background music, Xiaoqian's gorgeous and elegant appearance, set off by her red wedding dress, looked even more sad, resentful, and mournful, full of enchantment. Her pair of phoenix eyes were even more soul-stirring, beautiful beyond the ordinary, without a trace of lust.
"Fuck!" The audience was in uproar! "How was this shot taken? How did Lin Fan take such a beautiful shot?"
"It's amazing! I never realized that my Yanyan is so beautiful!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Oh my god! I'm a fan of Fanfan. I originally thought that Xia Yan was not worthy of our Fanfan, but now I think that pig Lin Fan is not worthy of our Yanyan at all!"
…
Not only the audience, but even the film's creative team couldn't believe that this shot was shot by their own crew when they saw it for the first time!
Liang Wen, in particular, slammed his head on the table when he saw the final effect of this shot and concluded: "This shot will definitely go down in the history of Chinese cinema! It will become an eternal classic!"
Yang Hongxia didn’t know much about movies, she simply thought that this shot was so beautiful, and it brought Xia Yan’s beauty to a whole new level!
Xia Yan had a vague feeling that with this scene and the role of Xiaoqian, his future career in the film industry would be extremely smooth. Even many years later, when people counted the classics of this period, A Chinese Ghost Story would definitely have a place.
Only Lin Fan knew clearly that everything Liang Wen, Yang Hongxia and Xia Yan thought of would come true, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" would definitely become a classic!
The audience marveled at the beauty of this shot, but the media and film critics saw something deeper. They saw Lin Fan’s talent in directing and artistic expression; they saw Xia Yan’s aura and plasticity in the field of film performance; they saw the potential of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story"!
I’m afraid a dark horse will emerge this summer!
