The Vientiane Plaza in the capital.
On the first day of the promotion of "The Swordsman", the offline original scene temporary exhibition hall was crowded with people, filling the huge exhibition hall square.
Many people didn’t buy tickets, but still wanted to try their luck at the event.
What if there are scalpers?
…
"Tickets, do you want them?"
"How much?"
"One thousand and five."
"I...fuck? The original price of the ticket is less than 100 yuan, and you're selling it for 1,500 yuan?"
"Do you want love?"
Scalpers were moving around in the square, and similar whispers were heard everywhere.
Some people think it is very expensive. After all, to see such an exhibition, you have to pay a fifteen-fold premium. Just think about it, it’s really a loss. Isn’t it crazy?
However, this city has never lacked truly rich people. In the eyes of some people, there is no difference between 1,500 yuan and 1.5 yuan.
For example: Jiang Qianfan.
Although Qilin Film and Television's "Chinese Heroes" series of films has experienced many twists and turns and the first screenwriter and director have run away, it is still in the filming process.
This movie, which he had high hopes for, was defeated by Lu Hao at the DreamWorks Film Festival. Now that Lu Hao's new movie is out, he naturally wants to take a good look at it.
"I want three."
The mysterious man next to him grabbed a scalper, bought three tickets, and then waited patiently in the long line.
"Are you a fan of Lu Hao?"
Bored waiting in line, Jiang Qianfan looked at the secretary he had just found after returning to China and asked casually. The look behind his sunglasses was as calm as a still pond.
The project "Domestic Heroes" was one of the few disastrous defeats in his business career. The battle was completely over before it even began.
Jiang Qianfan was very interested in everything about this opponent.
Hearing this question, the secretary was slightly stunned.
“I rarely go to the movies.”
Jiang Qianfan smiled faintly at this ambiguous answer: "Tell the truth."
"like."
"Why do you like it?"
"Well……"
The secretary considered his tone and thought for a long time. Not daring to look Jiang Qianfan in the eye, he whispered, "Lu Hao's movies have a certain ingenuity. They give me the feeling of being the Apple of mobile phones—good-looking and classy."
"Mr. Jiang, look at the queues now. Doesn't it resemble when the new Apple phones first came out?"
Jiang Qianfan fell silent.
"Dad, let me tell you, I feel like you're old, and you're just not as good as Lu Hao. Sometimes, you haven't done anything wrong, you're just old. When the times abandon you, they won't even say goodbye to you."
A young and pretty girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old was standing next to him. She held Jiang Qianfan's arm with one hand and spoke in a coquettish and teasing tone.
This is Jiang Qianfan's daughter.
Another identity is Lu Hao’s die-hard fan.
"You little girl, just be so disloyal and hurt your father's heart." Jiang Qianfan said with a doting smile, looking like a real daughter slave.
"That's right... But think of it this way. When you were all the rage, Lu Hao was still playing in the mud in his crotchless pants, right? By the time he reached your age, you would have already retired and were enjoying your retirement. We're not even from the same generation, so what's there to argue about?"
The daughter was considerate after all, and she soothed her father with a smile.
…
After waiting in line for nearly half an hour, they finally reached the front of the line. After selling their tickets, the three of them walked into the exhibition hall.
Come in.
The first thing that caught the eye was two ape-men that looked half the height of a human, covered with long hair. Their faces had evolved completely into human form, but their torsos were still like apes.
There were two ape-men, one holding an ice spear and the other holding a long sickle. Their blood-red eyes revealed a murderous aura.
"Wow, this is so realistic..."
"Dad, please take a photo for me..."
"Huh? What is this?"
Next to the two ape-men, there is a pure white stone tablet that looks like it was carved out of ice and snow. On the stone tablet are strings of complex characters that look like ghostly scribbles. If you look closely, you can vaguely see that they look like oracle bone inscriptions.
Of course, these are all carefully crafted by the prop team and are not real archaeological materials.
There is a translation next to the stone tablet.
"The long night is coming. From now on, I begin my watch, and it will last until my death. I shall take no wife, no land, no children. I shall wear no crown, nor seek honor or favor. I shall serve faithfully, and live and die by my duty. I am the sword in the darkness, the defender of the horizon. I am the flame that blazes against the darkness, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that awakens the sleeper, the shield that protects the flame. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, this night and all the nights to come."
The three of them were stunned by the inscription that read like an oath.
Not only the three of them, but also the other ordinary movie fans who followed in were all stunned.
It is hard to imagine that there can be such an exciting and heavy-weight shock at the door.
That vast epic feeling that transcends the torrent of time suddenly comes over you, giving you goosebumps all over your body.
"Is this a line designed for the dimensional space people?"
"Fuck, this is too crazy, right?"
"Is this a movie?"
"Why does it feel like a 100% realistic world has been created?"
…
"Oh, stop talking so much. Come on, take a picture. Take a picture for me."
"I feel like this movie could be adapted into a game."
"I've already imagined a huge drama in my head! So how shocking is this movie?"
…
The crowd was talking.
Amidst the discussions, Jiang Qianfan was silent for a long time, absent-mindedly taking pictures of his daughter, feeling extremely shocked.
In front of such works, no matter what your status is, whether you are rich or poor, the feelings in your heart are similar.
Movies are dream machines.
Lu Hao's film has taken this dream to the extreme, and even details like this have reached the pinnacle.
Walk through the gate.
Under the design of light and shadow, the crowd feels as if they have walked through a dark and deep tunnel, leading to the unreachable depths of the earth. The walls around the passage are inlaid with bright lights, and if you look closely, they are diamonds.
Of course it is artificially made at a very low cost.
But this picture is truly beautiful.
In the passage, the flash lights of mobile phone cameras kept lighting up and taking pictures frantically.
Just one word.
beautiful.
"I'm really impressed. I'm completely floored. How much would it cost to build a passage like this?"
"Hey, don't use your imagination to challenge our Director Lu's ability to make money."
"As long as it looks good, that's all!"
"I wonder if there are any merchandise for sale in the back of this exhibition hall? I really want to buy some. I can't suppress the wild power in my body anymore."
"purchase!"
…
