Chapter 87: The plot is very ordinary, but I cry like a fool
The movie is over.
No matter what mood they were in when they came, almost every audience member leaving the cinema had red eyes.
They are all 0-hour movies, and the duration of the movies is almost the same.
When Lu Xinguang and Chu Xixi walked out of the cinema, they happened to meet their colleagues and their girlfriends coming out of another cinema.
"You are... is that movie so exaggerated? It actually made you cry." Lu Xinguang's colleague Liao Fang asked with a look of astonishment.
"It's so exaggerated. Anyway, it hurt my eyes just looking at it. And after reading it, I missed my mother very much!" Lu Xinguang said, spreading his hands.
"What about you? What movie are you watching?" Lu Xinguang asked again.
Liao Fang smiled and said: ""The Legend of the Walled City", you know my girlfriend and I both have a soft spot for old Hong Kong movies."
"How is it? Are you okay?" Lu Xinguang asked curiously.
"How should I put it? It does have a bit of the flavor of old Hong Kong movies, but the plot is a bit too cliched. Moreover, after watching it, I felt that compared with the old Hong Kong movies in the early years, there is still something missing."
"You're missing some feelings, right? Haha." Lu Xinguang said with a smile.
"Yes, it just lacks the flavor of sentiment. It always feels like fried rice, but all it tastes like is cooked rice." Liao Fang also said with a smile.
"Is "Mom Love Me Again" so touching?" Liao Fang took another look at the other audiences who were coming out of the screening room one after another. He saw that they all acted the same as Lu Xinguang and his wife, even more exaggeratedly.
He asked more and more curiously.
"How do you say this? Didn't this movie have spoilers before? It is indeed true. There is even a version that is the complete content of the movie. However, the magic of this movie is that even if you know the plot in advance,
When you watch it, you will feel that the plot has nothing new, and you even know that the director is deliberately sensationalizing, but every time the melody of "Only Mother is Good in the World" sounds, you can't help it.
My nose is sore and I can't control my tears. Do you understand what I mean?" Lu Xinguang thought for a while and explained.
"Yes, I understand, but is it really that magical?" Liao Fang was a little curious, but also a little unconvinced.
"Of course you won't feel anything about this movie when I tell you. You have to watch it yourself and you will understand." Lu Xinguang smiled.
He was telling the truth. Indeed, even now, looking back, he still felt that the plot of the movie was not new at all. But to be honest, he just couldn't help crying and thinking about his mother.
.
"Then I really want to take a look." Lu Xinguang successfully aroused Liao Fang's curiosity.
At the same time.
Du Xianghai and Fang Long also walked out of another cinema side by side.
Their eyes were both red.
"This movie is really weird. The plot of the movie is obviously cliche and there are a lot of bugs in it, but unfortunately, even veteran film critics like us who have read countless movies can't stop it." Fang Longyao
He shook his head and it was somewhat understandable.
Du Xianghai smiled and said: "Actually, Lao Fang, have you noticed that in the whole movie, the plot is not new at all, it is even old-fashioned, and the sensationalism is a bit deliberate, but there is one thing in it that many similar movies cannot compare with.
of."
"What?" Fang Long was confused.
"That song "Only Mother is Good in the World"! The melody of this song is like a signal almost as soon as it is played, and people can't help but be touched." Du Xianghai said.
"When you say that, it's really true!" Fang Long thought carefully and realized that it was really like that.
"But why?" Fang Long couldn't help but frowned.
"This song is amazing! Although the lyrics are simple, in fact, every sentence touches everyone's truest emotions. After all, everyone has a mother who loves them, and they have the warmest and easiest to be loved.
This part of the emotion that was touched, without this song, this movie would definitely be a lot lighter, but with this song, this movie has been improved by several levels." Du Xianghai explained.
Fang Long couldn't help but hum a few lyrics of "Only Mom is Good in the World", and his eyes lit up.
The next day.
First, the zero-point box office numbers for the three movies are released.
There is no surprise. "Fatal Companion", which has the largest cast and the largest distribution, has the highest box office at zero-hour screenings, as high as 10.2 million!
We must know that the current domestic movie with a box office of more than 1 billion, in the early stage of its release, the box office on the opening day was only more than 30 million.
Therefore, the box office of "Deadly Partner" is really not low.
Followed closely by "The Legend of the Walled City", the box office at odd hours is also not low. The box office at odd hours is close to 8 million, which is enough to satisfy Huanyu and Hong Kong Star.
Although "Mom Love Me Again" did a good job in early promotion, after all, it cannot be compared with the previous two in terms of cast and distribution scale, but it is not much lower. With a zero-point box office of 6.1 million, Li
Yi is quite satisfied.
In fact, since there is only one box office at zero o'clock, it is more of a verification of the previous publicity effect.
In terms of box office, Li Yi's movies are at the bottom, but in terms of word-of-mouth, they are the other way around.
"Mom Love Me Again" has a very good reputation among the audience.
"Only mothers are good in the world. A child without a mother is like a piece of grass. But a child is also a piece of flesh lost by the mother. She loves this piece of flesh more than any other piece of flesh on the body. To a large extent, it is spiritual support. Without it, life will be lost.
It has also lost its meaning. This may be the great maternal love."
"Obviously the plot is very cliche, but I cried like a fool!"
"After watching the movie, I called my mother in the middle of the night. Then, I cried on the phone. My mother thought something had happened to me, and she almost cried in fear!"
"I have read a script that I have read in spoilers before, and it is indeed exactly the same as the movie. But I know the plot, the beginning, the process, and the ending. But while watching the movie, every time I hear the melody of that song, I always
I can’t help crying!”
"I am particularly touched. Every mother hopes that her children will be healthy and grow up safely. They say that a father's love is like a mountain, but I feel that a mother's love is more continuous and sincere."
Basically, the first batch of viewers who watched the movie had nothing bad to say. Even if they complained that the plot was old-fashioned and devoid of new ideas, they all pointed out that the movie was touching!
Compared with "Mom Love Me Again", the other two movies, "Fatal Partner" were first accused of imitating and plagiarizing foreign movies. As a result, the reputation is also polarized. Some people think that the movie has been modified well, while others habitually take it for granted.
Compared with foreign movies, the results are self-evident.
"The Legend of the Walled City Heroes" has an unexpectedly bad reputation!
"In the name of revitalizing Hong Kong films, it turns out that it is just hot rice. Without the blessing of emotion, this movie is nothing!"
"When I first watched it, it had the taste of an old Hong Kong movie, but when I watched it again, it always lacked a bit of emotion. In the end, it was tasteless and it was a pity to abandon it."
"The movie strives to restore the taste of old Hong Kong movies. From the cast to the storyline, every frame wants to show the feelings of old Hong Kong movies. But in fact it is still just a change of soup without changing the medicine. The old medicine has been brewing for too long.
