Originally, according to domestic practice in the past two years, when a new movie is released, there will inevitably be a wave of scandals about the male and female protagonists.
But the key point is that there is no way to fire them this time. Chen Kun, Zhao Wei, and Zhou Xun are all good friends, very good friends.
No one believed the rumors, Zhao Wei had given birth to a child, and as for Zhou Xun, even if they hugged each other, no one would think that they were together.
Similar to Jolin Tsai and Luo Zhixiang from Baodao, they have such a close relationship, and there have never been any scandals about them.
The last one was not popular, so of course this one will not be popular either.
It's still the same old routine, the two sides are fighting over each other, from online to offline.
There is another trick that has been used badly. Since the scandal cannot be stirred up, Huang Xiaoming is dragged out again.
During the show, I asked several actors about their feelings, and then smoothly brought Huang Xiaoming into the conversation.
For how many years, people all over the country have known about Huang Xiaoming’s secret love for Zhao Wei, and they are still talking about it.
After Huang Xiaoming had a crush on Zhao Wei in college, he had several girlfriends. He also said that they thought he was a fool, and to be honest, no one could stand the change.
His little girlfriend Yang Ying saw this kind of news every now and then and didn't know what to think.
In this way, even if the reputation is average, there are complaints everywhere, and the box office trend is also average, "Painted Skin 2" is still the most popular movie at the moment.
Time passes day by day, and on Wednesday, July 4th, "Jaws 3" also held its world premiere in Beijing!
Director Han Yan is not well-known, and the leading actor Peng Yuchang is not as good as a few supporting actors, almost no different from a pure newcomer.
This movie has gained current attention entirely due to the fame of its predecessor, and Li Qian will take on the heavy responsibility of promoting it.
At the premiere ceremony, Li Qian took the stage and naturally became the center of attention of everyone present.
Even the reporter's main focus was on Li Qian.
During the interview, I first asked Li Qian about his expectations for the movie and his views on his rival "Painted Skin 2".
"I'm very satisfied with "Jaws 3" as a sequel. As we all know, sequels are always the most difficult to make. My goal is to satisfy the audience first. As for how much box office it should get, the more the better.
"Painted Skin 2" is a pretty good movie, although it has some flaws, but director Wu Ershan can make the picture so gorgeous, which is rare in China."
To put it simply, Li Qian did not belittle the other party just because he was his opponent.
Besides, even if you say something bad about the other party, it won't have much impact.
"Director Li, as you said, sequels have always been difficult to film, let alone the third one. Director Han Yan is also a newcomer to the big screen. What are the highlights of this third part compared to the first two?"
In the past few days, Huayang Media has also done some negative marketing for "Jaws 3", which is generally just the same old tricks. The second part is not as good as the first one. In addition, the director has not produced any good works for ten years in the industry.
This third part will most likely suck.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Of course there are highlights. In the second part, the male protagonist was killed by a shark, and in the third part, the protagonist was changed."
The reporters in the audience twitched their mouths. Isn't this nonsense? They knew that the protagonist had been changed from the day of the launch conference. Anyone who has watched the first two movies knows that the male protagonist died. If not, could he be resurrected?
"Will the movie continue the formula of the first two movies, expand the sense of fear through suspense and thriller, or will there be other innovations?" the reporter then asked.
"Everyone will naturally know this later. I can only say that Director Han will never let everyone down." Li Qian smiled.
.....
The ceremony, which lasted for an hour, was over. Li Qian, Han Yan, and the actors came off the stage and sat in the front row, and the movie was about to start.
The lights in the screening room dimmed, and then the big screen slowly lit up.
All the audience present had basically watched the first two films, and knew that this was a horror film that combined suspense and horror, so they cheered up.
Li Mengqi, who had already finished the first two parts yesterday, was also ready. She sat on the chair nervously and reached for the Coke next to her.
The best friend next to her slapped her arm angrily, "Why are you drinking from me?"
Oh, I took it by mistake." Li Mengqi quickly put the Coke back, picked up her own Coke on the other side and took a big sip.
Seeing her like this, her best friend said amusedly, "You can't be scared, right? After watching the first two movies, you already know what the routine is. Except for sharks being elusive and appearing suddenly, there's nothing scary about it. It's not as scary as the sharks in the aquarium."
.”
"No way. I was watching "Sadako" alone at two o'clock in the morning. How could I be afraid? I'm just a little thirsty." After defending, Li Mengqi sat up straight, straightened her chest, and took another big sip of Coke.
Put down the cup.
At this time, the movie has already started.
It was getting dark in the evening, and a group of young people were gathering at the beach.
Beer, barbecue, bonfire, so lively.
This scene was exactly the same as the opening of the first film, which made the audience a little strange.
Could it be that, like the first film, a girl will be attacked by a shark in the opening scene?
Suddenly, everyone became serious.
After Peng Yuchang and others were sitting around the bonfire and playing around for a while, the camera slowly advanced and the sea surface was not calm, and the waves kept roaring.
As the camera zooms out on the sea, the dark sea suddenly becomes silent, and the picture freezes.
"coming?"
Li Mengqi's already worried heart suddenly lifted.
However, the expected great white shark did not appear, but the title of "Jaws 3" appeared on the sea.
The screen went black, and then Peng Yuchang's voice sounded.
"More than ten years ago, this was the city's largest beach resort..."
With Peng Yuchang's introduction, the big screen lit up again, arriving at a somewhat dilapidated tourist resort.
Peng Yuchang and his party walked into the resort, talking about the past here while walking, which aroused the curiosity of his classmates.
The camera slowly zoomed in, giving a close-up of the crooked sign of the resort.
Nansha seaside tourist resort.
A group of young people were wandering around a dilapidated resort. If it were night, it might be a bit eerie.
For more than ten minutes, Peng Yuchang walked around inside and told his classmates what happened back then, including his father's death in the belly of a fish and the fact that a great white shark has not yet been found, which led to the ruin of the resort.
This made the audience, who had been looking forward to it, relax.
However, soon after, Liu Xing proposed that he wanted to play in the water, and others also wanted to go.
Peng Yuchang quickly advised, "It's better not to go. The shark hasn't been caught yet. It's too dangerous."
Although he told others the story of that year, others were not afraid at all.
"It's been ten years, and the sharks haven't made their home here anymore."
"I checked, sharks generally don't go offshore."
"Sharks don't bite people. They hunt by smell. Human smell is not in the shark's diet, so it won't actively attack people."
"I also checked online. When you encounter a shark, just don't provoke it, and don't make too many movements to stimulate it. If it smells that you are not its food, it will walk away."
Everyone was talking to each other, chattering.
Peng Yuchang had no choice but to go to the village and ask again. The shark had never appeared again in the past ten years, so he reluctantly agreed to allow the students to go into the sea.
However, I borrowed a small boat from the village and went to sea on the boat, which was safer.
Nearly twenty minutes passed. The beginning was not scary at all. It was just a group of students going on a trip. They made jokes and interrupted the conversation and it was a joyful time. It didn't feel scary at all.
"What is this picture of? It's a shark!"
Li Mengqi thought a little boredly.
Most people find it a bit boring, but the male audience can at least appreciate the swimsuits of these young girls, even though they don't have astonishing figures.
On the big screen, Peng Yuchang was a little nervous at first, but he gradually relaxed and the ship slowly sailed away.
Suddenly, Peng Yuchang, who had just relaxed, felt something approaching him. He quickly looked around, but found nothing unusual.
When the camera went underwater, there seemed to be masses of black shadows, and unknown creatures were slowly approaching the ship in the sea.
Li Mengqi instantly became vigilant. Thinking of the first movie she watched yesterday, she couldn't help but lean back.
The hearts of all the audience also jumped violently, and they stared nervously at the big screen, their eyes unblinking.
Amidst everyone's nervousness, suddenly a large amount of water splashed on the sea surface, and fish nearly one meter long jumped out.
Then the second, third...
"Holy crap, it turns out to be a dolphin!"
"I was scared to death. I thought it was a shark!"
"Huh... I'm almost having a heart attack!"
"Where's the shark you promised to show us this?"
The audience's hanging hearts were finally settled, and they couldn't help but complain in their hearts, which made them nervous for nothing.
Li Mengqi quickly picked up the Coke and took a sip to calm down her shock.
Even though I knew it was this routine every time, creating the illusion of a shark appearing at first, I still couldn't help but fall for it.
"The shark will appear next," she thought to herself.
Not long after, a huge shadow appeared in the sea, covering up the sky and the sun, occupying the entire big screen, and the theater went dark for an instant.
"As expected."
Li Mengqi thought she had seen through everything and was following the same old routine. She was already prepared for the shark's next appearance.
No matter how bloody or sudden it is, I'm not afraid at all.
The black shadow in the sea that covered the sky slowly floated near the boat where Peng Yuchang and the others were sitting, and began to float up.
It turned out to be a giant blue whale carcass more than 30 meters long, with a huge wound on its abdomen that was still staining the surrounding seawater red.
Not a shark?
Li Mengqi, who thought they had guessed the plot, and all the audience were stunned.
Peng Yuchang and others on the boat were also stunned when they looked at the giant blue whale that was ten times larger than the boat.
A recently deceased blue whale appeared here, wouldn't it be...
Just when the audience had just come up with this idea, the boat Peng Yuchang and the others were riding in was suddenly hit by something unknown and shook violently.
"Oh my god!"
Several people on the boat were frightened, and some fell down.
The audience's reaction was similar to theirs, and before they could react, the ship continued to shake dramatically.
Just when the audience was worried, the boat suddenly turned over and everyone fell into the bottom of the sea.
The camera went underwater, and the four girls' long white legs were swinging vigorously. Normally, they would have been extremely tempting.
But now no one cares about whose legs are thinner, whiter and longer, and no one cares about the thick legs covered by swimming trunks.
The camera showed a close-up of Yang Zhi. With a look of horror on her face, she tried her best to float up, and finally grabbed the side of the boat, with half of her body floating out of the sea.
However, just when he was about to climb up, his whole body suddenly stopped, his face turned pale, and his face was instantly distorted.
Then it seemed as if something was suddenly pulling it into the sea.
The seawater rolled for two seconds, and then immediately returned to calm, leaving only a scarlet red color, and the surrounding seawater was dyed red.
At this time, everyone else climbed onto the boat again, looking around with fear on their faces and trembling all over.
Peng Yuchang stared blankly at the sea, watching a piece of torn cloth floating on the sea, and thought of his father who was also attacked by a shark on a small boat ten years ago, and no bones were left.
The appearance of the corpses of dolphins and blue whales caused the illusion of the appearance of sharks twice in a row. From the sudden appearance of the shark, overturning the boat, to Yang Zhi being buried in the belly of the fish, the whole process took less than three minutes and was completed in one go.
The two foreshadowings and the sudden attack also gave the audience the greatest excitement.
"I'll wipe it!"
The voice of an audience member in the front row woke up Li Mengqi, who was still in a daze. It turned out that she was too nervous, and the Coke cup in her hand had been squeezed out of shape, and the Coke flew onto the heads of the audience in front.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Li Mengqi apologized quickly, took out a pack of tissues from her bag and handed it to the other party.
The man saw that she was a girl and quite pretty, so she didn't have an attack.
"call..."
Li Mengqi breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. It was so embarrassing.
But it was really scary. I thought I had seen through the director's trick and was prepared.
But I didn't expect that the director didn't follow the script and created two false impressions.
However, the best friend next to me still kept a calm face, stuffed popcorn into her mouth one by one, and said nonchalantly, "There's nothing to be afraid of. It's not scary at all."
As he said that, he handed the popcorn to Li Mengqi, "Do you want it?"
"No." How could she dare to eat? If there was something scary behind her, it would be difficult to spit it out. This was not a movie at home.
The shark killed one first. Although he didn't appear, the atmosphere was already extremely solemn.
There were seven people left in the boat, but the oar had fallen into the water just now, and they could not row back at all.
The camera slowly pulled up, giving an aerial shot.
There is a small boat floating alone on the vast sea, looking so lonely.
The sea was still calm, but the seven people on the boat did not dare to relax at all. The other three girls were already crying together.
Several boys were in the same situation, trembling and almost crying.
In other words, Peng Yichang is better, but not much better.
The camera gave a close-up of his eyes, and the picture gradually blurred, and the scenes of sharks attacking humans again and again in the first and second parts began to play back in a flash.
Without oars, they drifted on the sea for a long time, until finally some of them couldn't stand it anymore.
A boy ignored the dissuasion of others, jumped into the sea, and swam desperately to the shore.
The camera followed him. He was a little scared at first, but as he swam, nothing happened, and he felt relieved. He turned around and waved to other people on the boat.
At this time, the people on the boat saw a black thing floating on the water beside him, slowly heading towards him.
Those are shark fins!
They shouted frantically that the shark was coming and waved at him.
But the distance was a bit far, so the boy couldn't hear clearly and thought they were waving happily.
Suddenly, I felt something moving on the water surface. I turned my head in confusion, my eyes widened, and my face was filled with fear.
A seven or eight meter long great white shark opened its huge mouth and pounced towards his horrified face.
There were no scenes of sharks eating people. There were many students during the summer semester, so it wasn’t suitable for something too gory.
Instead, the camera turned and the perspective came to the boat. In the distance, a great white shark bit the boy's body and rolled continuously on the sea.
After a long time, the sea surface returned to calm, leaving only a pool of blood spreading around.
"woo woo woo woo......"
Tang Yixin cried loudly on the boat, crying and yelling, "Who on earth said that sharks eat people who don't know who they are?"
Li Shun, the more mature of the three girls, hugged Tang Yixin to comfort her, but she was also shaking and collapsed on the small boat with not much space.
The shark completed the second kill without any surprises. Although the process was very simple, it gave the audience a chill in their hearts.
This great white shark continues to hide under the water, never showing up again, like a killer, swimming around, just waiting for its opponent to reveal a flaw and deliver a fatal blow.
