Chapter 229 Movie-watching time (I wish everyone a happy New Year's Day)
In fact, Li Youqing did not star in "The Blue Fortress", but she still got up early in the morning, put on exquisite makeup, and dragged Jiang Bei to the theater to watch the movie.
According to her, she wanted to support her best friend Long Anyu's new movie.
In fact, the promotional video she retweeted on Weibo was for the sake of Long Anyu and director Ji Yingzi.
I have to say that Xiao Nizi is still very good at dealing with people, but it is a pity that her IQ is a little lower.
"An Yu and I are high school classmates. We have been friends for almost ten years now. How can I not support her movie. Beibei, hurry up. You'll be late and the movie will start soon."
Jiang Bei didn't want to go because he had already watched the finished film once. No matter how high-quality the movie was, it would not attract him to watch it again, not to mention the quality of the movie "Blue Fortress" itself.
But she is his wife after all, and if her husband doesn’t support what she wants to do, then who can?
So the old man who hadn't even eaten breakfast was dragged out by Xiao Nizi and drove to the theater he had agreed with Long Anyu.
Yes.
Today Li Youqing also made an appointment with Long Anyu to watch the movie together.
According to her account, Long Anyu was deeply hit after experiencing the first failure of the previous "My College Days" on the screen, so she paid great attention to this comeback work and placed almost all her hopes on it.
After all, he is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry. If his works do not improve well, it will undoubtedly have a great negative impact on his future acting career.
"Actually, I think you can just go by yourself. Why do you have to drag me along?"
People are like this. Although they have taken action and set out together, they still inevitably say a few rebellious words.
Li Youqing opened the mirror on the passenger side and was putting on lipstick. Hearing this, he replied: "I hope you can go out more and get in touch with the social world. It's easy to lose touch with society if you stay at home every day. In this regard, you might as well be cool."
Liang, look at which day she stayed at home during this summer vacation."
"That's your bestie, why should I contact her?" Jiang Bei shook his head, feeling that his wife was really at ease with him. Haven't she heard the saying "Beware of fire, theft, and beware of besties?"
What if a man as good as himself is snatched away?
These words seemed to stir up Li Youqing's heart. He put down his lipstick and said with emotion: "An Yu is a top graduate of Starry Sky Film and Television. After returning to China, she served as the entertainment director of Bohan Film and Television. For this reason, she made friends with many people in the industry, so she
Talent
When I entered the entertainment industry, I served as the number one female lead. But I was the complete opposite. Because I had no connections, I had been suppressed frequently in the past two years and suffered a lot. So during this period, I was thinking, if I had some connections, I wouldn't be able to do it.
It’s reduced to this.”
For Li Youqing, although his fame has grown in recent years, his acting career has not been smooth sailing. On the contrary, it has been bumpy and bumpy, and he has endured pressure that many artists have never endured.
It's just that she didn't show any of this. Even if her mentality collapsed, she would just hide at home and cry loudly, and then pick up her emotions again the next day and continue to work hard.
But it is not a solution in the long run. For example, after I changed my management company this year, I was suppressed by Erjing Film and Television because of the cooperation relationship. As a result, I did not participate in anything except two albums this year.
Movies and TV shows don’t have it.
There are no activities.
There is no endorsement.
There are no variety shows.
I won’t mention the reason for all this, but if her connections were wider and she knew more big shots in the industry, the conflict with Erjing Film and Television would probably be resolved.
After all, there are no permanent enemies in business. Whether you can become friends depends on whether the cards in your hand are big enough.
When Jiang Bei heard this, he basically understood what his wife meant.
This is to train him to become a well-spoken boss in the entertainment industry!
"How can I do that?" Shaking his head, Jiang Bei couldn't help but smile. He felt that his wife's idea was indeed interesting.
"You can't belittle yourself. As your wife, I know very well whether you have that ability." Li Youqing looked at him seriously and said.
This was heart-warming, but it was a sugar-coated bomb that Jiangbei would never accept.
At least just take the sugar coating and hit it back with the cannonballs.
"As you know, I am determined to open a nationwide chain of restaurants. After two years of preparation, I am already thinking about opening one to test the waters first."
Nowadays, opening a restaurant chain has become Jiangbei's obsession when he came to Blue Star. If his wife's plan to quit the entertainment industry had not been completed, he would have used the demolition money to get into the catering industry and make a lot of money.
"Is there no conflict between opening a restaurant and meeting people? There are many celebrities in the entertainment industry who develop their own side businesses. Look, Zhang Ting and her husband are doing micro-business selling skin care products? They have even established a company now.
"
"There are many celebrities who have opened hot pot restaurants, noodle shops, and Chinese restaurants. If you can get to know them, you might be able to gain some valuable experience in opening restaurants from them!"
Li Youqing's brainwashing ability can be said to be extremely powerful. He kept giving examples of tricks, which made Jiang Bei himself a little excited.
Fortunately, the theater was not far away. During the chat, we had successfully driven to our destination, and the conversation in this regard was temporarily over.
"I'll get off the car first, you park the car in the garage, and we'll meet at the elevator entrance on the third floor." Li Youqing didn't seem to want to follow him into the underground garage, so he asked him to park the car at the door, put on a mask, and got out of the car first.
Jiangbei didn't ask too much, and honestly drove to the underground parking lot, parked the car, and then went to the third floor as instructed.
Because there was a delay when parking the car, Li Youqing was already waiting there when he arrived on the third floor. When he saw him coming out, he waved to him.
"No! This is for you to eat."
Jiang Bei took the hot pancakes and glanced at Li Youqing.
"You have to have some breakfast, so you won't get stomach problems." After saying that, Li Youqing took out a bottle of hot milk from his pocket and shook it: "Don't worry, I've prepared milk for you, eat it quickly."
"You haven't had breakfast either? Why don't you buy more?"
"That's right, I haven't had breakfast either, would you mind sharing it with me?" Li Youqing was stunned for a moment, then blinked and replied.
The old man looked at those smart eyes and lost his mind for a moment.
"I really envy the love between you."
In the cinema, Long Anyu looked at the couple next to him, his tone full of sourness.
"Why are you envious! Beibei and I are on a blind date, and we have never really been in love. If it were you, you might not be able to suddenly accept a strange husband." Li Youqing ate the popcorn he just bought.
He replied casually.
Jiang Bei, who was on the outside, couldn't deny what he said. Indeed, he also agreed with what his wife said. If he had fallen in love first and then got married, he probably wouldn't have been unable to climb into his wife's bed until now.
Of course, in his opinion, the time may be ripe now, and he has to find time to try it.
"If I can get a man as good as your husband on a blind date, then I must be dreaming of it." Long Anyu said jokingly.
"That's true. Beibei is a treasure boy."
Li Youqing nodded in agreement, but Jiang Bei was rather embarrassed and stared at the big screen without daring to interrupt.
Long Anyu just smiled when he heard this, but did not continue talking. Soon the movie show time came, all the lights in the theater were dimmed, and advertisements began to play on the big screen.
The theater they were in was just an ordinary theater, and the people who came to watch the movie were ordinary movie fans. This is what Long Anyu wanted to see.
Because you want to see the true reactions of movie fans as soon as possible, then finding an ordinary cinema to watch it on the first day of release is the safest way.
There were a lot of people watching this show, and the screening hall that could accommodate nearly 200 people was almost half occupied.
You should know that it is only the morning time period, so it is really good to achieve such an attendance rate.
Long Anyu obviously also understood this truth, so he felt very happy when he saw so many viewers, and that's why he had the joking conversation just now.
The advertisements in the theater are indeed a bit annoying. Under the bombardment of advertisements for ten minutes, the movie fans in the theater began to look a little impatient. Fortunately, the advertisements finally ended at this time, and the entrance of the Chinese dragon sign represented the beginning of the movie.
The beginning of the film is no different from the previous life. The background of the story is explained through the perspective of the protagonist. The earth that has obtained the "energy crystal" is attacked by aliens. Humanity on the earth has suffered a huge blow, but the humans with the "energy crystal" have the ability to...
The aliens' fighting power allowed humans to survive with great difficulty, and began a long battle with the aliens.
Ji Yingzi's shooting techniques are very sophisticated, and the fast-paced narrative method and the concept of big explosions and big backgrounds make the audience have a lot of expectations for this movie.
In particular, a scene where a female host was reporting news and suddenly the city was attacked by aliens. Only a beam of light was seen on the TV, and then the entire studio was instantly enveloped by an explosion, which caused the audience to exclaim.
I have to say that this is probably the best part of the whole movie that Jiangbei thinks. If the core of the story continues to tell the story of the game between humans and aliens, then not to say it will be a box office hit, but at least it will not suffer too much loss.
.
It's a pity that Ji Yingzi's script, which he has been honing for five years, went astray. He actually wanted to imitate the foreign science fiction blockbusters and wanted to make a "love in the apocalypse", so that he changed the core content to the love between a man and a woman, and added superfluous additions.
A love triangle.
Jiangbei felt that Ji Yingzi should be suitable for making urban romance films, as there would definitely be a market for her.
In fact, after introducing the simple background, the Eagle Team, where the protagonist belongs, appeared in the form of game training. Coupled with the team members' line skills, this section was awkward and made the audience frown.
Especially when Commander Lin Lan, the heroine played by Long Anyu, talks to the leader and tells that the entire human race seems to be saved by this young team commanding drone operations, everyone's senses are not very good for a moment.
There is even a feeling in everyone's mind that this movie is about personal heroism.
It is not impossible to play with personal heroism in science fiction themes, but when human beings are faced with life and death, playing with this kind of personal heroism is undoubtedly an insult to the entire human race.
Of course, these are all speculations by movie fans. After all, the movie has just begun and nothing can be concluded yet.
However, they never expected that the entire beginning of the film was about the invasion of aliens and the imminent extinction of mankind. After entering the protagonist's personal perspective at the beginning, it actually started to talk about the protagonist's secret love for the heroine.
"What the hell kind of plot is this?"
“A big sci-fi romance movie?”
"The director let us watch a ten-minute romance film, Niuhide."
"I wonder if the pace of science fiction movies is so slow? It's only been ten minutes since the show started to feature?"
The audience in the screening room couldn't sit still when they saw the cast list coming out, and they began to whisper.
Long Anyu became nervous instantly and looked around.
"It's okay Anyu, the movie has just started." Seeing this, Li Youqing quickly came over to comfort him.
"Don't worry, I believe this will be a good movie." Long Anyu responded with a smile, and the tension on his face disappeared.
Jiang Bei on the side was leaning on his chair and looking at the screen in boredom, not reacting at all to all this.
The movie is still going on, and with the plot of the first alien breaking through the shield and rushing into Azure City, the first climax of the movie has arrived.
Urgent background music, alien invasion, and Azure City dispatched drones to intercept.
The special effects are okay.
The tense background music was also well rendered, but this plot did not bring a sense of tension or oppression to the audience, which can be seen from the expressions on the audience's faces.
The atmosphere in the theater is getting quieter and quieter, the initial sense of anticipation is no longer on the faces of the audience, and there are even some small voices discussing.
“Drones fight aliens, I’m sorry I really don’t have any sense of immersion.”
"The scattered aliens look like giant monsters. So many soldiers can't do anything about them. Especially the male protagonist is like a fool, incompetent and roaring?"
"Since drones can shoot an alien with one shot, why can't soldiers' weapons defeat defenses? Or is the so-called technological progress limited to drones?"
"I'm thinking of making a flying robot!"
A movie is undoubtedly the most fatal if it does not bring a sense of immersion to the audience.
If the fight in the first stage of the climax caused the audience to be subjective about the movie, then the love triangle plot after the climax left the audience completely speechless.
The entire screening room was extremely quiet, and some viewers even left the venue early. Although the number was small, it was a bad sign.
The movie is still proceeding in an orderly manner according to the previous rhythm, secret love - alien invasion - secret love - alien invasion - written confession - the final climax, until the final end.
The movie ends.
The lights come on.
The audience stood up and left in twos and threes with their companions, and there were soul discussions:
