At this time, both of them expressed surprise and envy at Fan Xiaopang's appearance, and the best friend even said that she would buy a cheongsam when she returned home.
Jiang Rui is not very interested in cheongsams, as she knows that her figure and appearance would not look good in them. She is more concerned about the sweetness between the male and female protagonists Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang. Apart from the vase actress saying something to the male protagonist, the two of them have almost no interaction.
Oh, no, the male lead drinks and the female lead smokes, but does this count as sugar? However, Jiang Rui was not at a loss for too long. Although there was no sugar to eat, the plot of the movie was not bland.
On the contrary, as the case of the three elders came out, her expectations were raised to the maximum, and her attention was almost completely diverted. It was only thanks to the persistence of CP fans for several years that she retained a trace of rationality to look for sweet moments.
In the movie, under the matchmaking and suppression of the tycoon, the characters temporarily put aside their disputes and conflicts and prepared to study the movie.
What no one expected was that the tycoon actually brought out the "Three Elders Case" that caused a sensation in Magic City Beach.
The so-called Three Old Men refer to three tycoons in Shanghai who held high positions but were tragically killed collectively overnight. The case is complicated and confusing, making it the hottest case in Shanghai and even the whole country in recent years.
If it could be adapted into a movie, it would surely be a huge hit and everyone here would become famous.
Everyone was very excited and ready to go. Morale was boosted and they began to think about how to make changes.
The director of the King of Bad Movies was smart and decisively started to follow the plot, making it a revenge action blockbuster.
The movie also cut a trailer according to what the director of the king of bad movies said. This trailer has many elements, and various plots borrow from or pay tribute to many classic movies and TV shows.
Including "Tarzan", "The Werewolf", "Ip Man", "The Sun Also Rises", "Kung Fu", "Let the Bullets Fly", "The Godfather" and "The Shining".
It also includes scenes from "Kingsman", "Peaky Blinders" and "Assassin's Creed" which have not yet been released.
The audience was dazzled and stunned, and many of them were even moved.
"You know what, I'm a little eager to see this flower cut."
In Shanghai, at the premiere of "Fame and Fame", a reporter joked to his colleague next to him, and the latter nodded in agreement.
"To be honest, if there is such a movie, it will definitely be worth doing."
"Wei Yang is being sarcastic, complaining about the template-like clichés of those movies. All Hong Kong movies are played that way."
"If I had doubted it normally, Fatty Wang said it himself. It's clear that he was complaining about Hong Kong movies. There are always police, criminals and undercovers, car chases, gunfights and explosions, plus one or two vape heroines. It's the same old story."
According to Wei Yang, this is definitely a satire, but it is not only a satire on Hong Kong films, but also a satire on Chinese-language films and even Hollywood.
But at this stage, the domestic market is still barely flourishing, and Hollywood is even more prosperous.
On the contrary, Hong Kong films have the most serious homogeneity, and there have been constant criticisms for a long time. And when it comes from the mouth of Wang Pangzi, a famous Hong Kong director, it is inevitable that people will think too much.
The worst movie in the film was also criticized by the male screenwriter, who believed that since it was adapted from a case, it should be based on reality.
During the dispute, the male protagonist accidentally discovered that Duan Long was wearing shackles on his feet. Combining with previous information, he guessed that he was the murderer.
At this time, other people's discussions began to become more and more outrageous. In order to speculate on the motive for the murder, some even suggested that the murderer was inhumane.
The audience burst into laughter as they watched everyone being "abused" in front of the murderer.
The male protagonist was afraid of angering the murderer, so he prepared to throw something under the table to alert others.
Unexpectedly, he met such a stupid teammate. Anything he threw was caught by the feet of Wu Jing, a supporting actor with great martial arts skills.
Looking at Wu Jing with a proud look on his face, the male protagonist was furious, the audience burst into laughter, and Wu Jing's girlfriend Xie Nan was shaking so much that she almost fell into Wu Jing's arms.
To be honest, many people's impression of Wu Jing is that he is good at fighting, and because he has been playing villains in Hong Kong for many years, they even think he is cold.
But in fact, this guy started out as an actor in light comedy action dramas. He is actually quite good at filming comedies and his personality is also cheerful and lively.
Although he played the role of the fool in the movie "Famous", he grasped the sense of proportion very well, especially the proud and smart expression on his face, which made people laugh.
The endless jokes also make the viewing atmosphere more relaxed, and the audience's mentality and impression of the movie are better.
At this point, the main storyline finally begins, and the male protagonist uncovers the identity of the murderer in the Duan Longsan case.
They were discussing a murder script and even brought the murderer himself in, causing chaos in the room. However, after some negotiations, everyone decided to continue the discussion and have the male lead dig deeper into the details.
The male protagonist has careful logic and rich knowledge. Through interrogation techniques, he reveals the murderer's flaws and makes everyone realize that the murderer is not as simple as robbery and murder.
This discovery made everyone very excited. After all, robbery and murder are too old-fashioned, and the more stories behind it, the more attractive it is.
The murderer seemed to realize that he couldn't fool the male protagonist easily, so he just started making up stories according to the plot the crew wanted, creating a father with violent tendencies as a childhood shadow.
In the memory, in the eyes of the murderer as a child, his father was whipping him madly with a whip, and his mother's moans were faintly heard beside him.
Just when everyone thought that this was a complete domestic violence scene, the camera turned and it was revealed that the father was beating a horse, while the mother was just afraid and couldn't bear it.
This sudden reversal left everyone stunned, and also broke the depressing atmosphere, turning it into a light and humorous one.
The male protagonist was full of disbelief: "He hit your horse?"
"Who else are we going to fight?"
The murderer choked up a little: "I called him dad and he beat me up, is that right?"
Male protagonist: “…”
"This is a metaphor, Mother Maton, it's the deformation of memory after trauma."
"It's the story I just told you about. He has a twisted heart, so he longs to stand out."
“It appears to be full of violence, but in fact it is always against violence, explaining the highest realm of martial arts - peace.”
“…”
In the end, it even turned into a press conference, where famous jokes were found, the sense of déjà vu was very strong, and the gags were endless.
Only the male protagonist is a serious person. He keeps looking for evidence and details to find out the truth. He successfully finds the evidence, namely the murder weapon, a rare Indian machete, which suggests that the murderer may have a military background.
From this moment on, the case has been kept a secret, making the audience want to know what exactly happened.
At this point, even though the male protagonist was persuaded to temporarily give up the investigation because of fear, the main plot of the movie has quietly shifted from discussing the script to uncovering the truth of the case.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a classic dialogue here.
That is, when they realized that the murderer had complicated motives for murder, no one except the male protagonist wanted to delve into it and just wanted to make the best of it.

Facing the protagonist's seriousness, tycoon Jiang Wu said earnestly: "Movies are a business, and the most important thing is that the audience buys in."
"What does the audience want? A gimmick. Our gimmick is the murderer's own confession. Does anything else matter?"
“Don’t impose your own preferences on the audience. This is disrespectful to the audience.”
This conversation is indeed full of connotation, and it made the audience, film critics and reporters unable to help but discuss it.
"That's a perfect sentence."
"This movie is definitely a satire. Before, it was a satire on the homogeneity of film routines, but now it's a satire on art films?"
"Why does it sound like you are mocking The Promise? Don't forget, his new movie is on the same schedule as Fame."
"Not really. Whether or not a release date was set during filming, I guess it's just a simple satire of this phenomenon."
"This movie is interesting, a combination of comedy and suspense, and it also criticizes some of the issues in the film industry. Is it going to become famous? This is not a good thing."
"Using the past to illustrate the present, this is a brilliant move. I can't even talk back when I get scolded."
"To be honest, I like this movie better than Painted Skin 2."
“…”
During the discussion, the plot was still going on. The male protagonist was unable to investigate due to various reasons. He was angry and couldn't help but confront the vase actress, which aroused public outrage.
Feeling apologetic and pressured by life, the male protagonist had no choice but to apologize to the vase actress.
With the help of everyone, the male protagonist and the vase actress danced together to resolve their grievances. During this period, many details were revealed as a foreshadowing of what happened later.
Seeing Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang dancing in the movie, Jiang Rui was both happy and confused.
Fortunately, the male and female protagonists finally interacted with each other and got some sweet moments.
What's confusing is that the dance scene that had excited CP fans in the trailer was revealed at this time and has nothing to do with the relationship between the two. So what about the subsequent emotional line?
It's been nearly half an hour, and judging by the current situation, the male and female protagonists don't seem to be inclined towards that at all.
Even now, the heroine's impression of the hero should be the worst among the male characters. Fatty Wang and the murderer are probably more likable to the heroine than the hero.
Even if there is a plot twist later in the trailer, just saying a few nice words might make the heroine's attitude towards the hero change 180 degrees, but she won't fall in love with him outright.
Jiang Rui has watched more than one or two dramas starring Wei Yang, and she still has a high level of trust in Wei Yang.
For projects that Boss Wei is personally responsible for, most of the love scenes are not melodramatic and are handled very delicately. Even if it is love at first sight, one can still see the layers of change and various details.
Although the movie is limited in length and there is not much room for foreshadowing, Jiang Rui does not think that Wei Yang would arrange it so melodramatically and perfunctorily.
"Could it be that a hero saves a beautiful girl?"
"Or maybe they gradually developed feelings for each other, but it didn't officially start, so it was left with an open ending?"
"Or... am I fooled?"
Jiang Rui didn't want to be the last one. He quite liked the male and female protagonists of the movie and they felt like a good couple.
A reporter/screenwriter who stands for justice and is smart and sharp-tongued!
A beautiful and charming but kind-hearted ex-movie queen! If this were in Xiaolujiang, she would have to call the author repeatedly if she didn't write 500,000 words. If it was wasted by Wei Yang, she would be miserable.
However, although she realized that she might have been deceived, Jiang Rui was just nervous but not angry.
Because from the beginning to the end, she recognized the quality of the plot of "Famous". How good the movie is is not discussed for the time being, but for now, she did not feel that she had lost the money she spent on the ticket...
