Chapter 1388 There Will Be a Fire!

Lucas's years of experience in the film and television industry is not groundless. He has seen the film long ago, so from the moment he sits in the cinema, his attention is on the audience around him.

Whether the audience keeps their eyes on the screen; whether the audience contributes their own laughter to the jokes in the film; whether the audience empathizes with the tension in the plot are all key factors in measuring a film.

But in Lucas's opinion, from the beginning of the film to the present, the vast majority of the audience watched it with great concentration, and he enjoyed it very much. Every joke and every plot point in the film, they would give With enough feedback, it can be expected that after watching this movie, the audience will definitely give it a very high evaluation, and the word of mouth will definitely be very good!

Lucas' professional eye didn't go wrong.

Then the plot, the audience watched more engaged!

The great thing about this movie is that it can incorporate very interesting and advanced jokes in various situations, not only from the characters, the plot, but also the action direction.

In the film, after the death of Master Ren, Lin Zhengying was imprisoned by his daughter's cousin, and the other party threatened Lin Zhengying with a soldering iron with the character "rape", laying a foreshadowing. He stopped the zombie, but unexpectedly, Qianjin's cousin came in, and then started a series of pranks. This series of pranks made many jokes, including that he accidentally dropped the talisman many times, including him because of a series of tricks. The oolong, and Qian Xiaohao used the iron of the word "rape" to burn the word "rape" on his chest, which just echoed the foreshadowing that was buried before.

The most interesting thing is that in the setting of the plot, Qian Xiaohao didn't mean to kill Ren's daughter's cousin, but when he was attacking the zombie, the daughter's cousin sat on the point of a sharp knife and jumped. When he got up, he accidentally hit the branding iron of Qian Xiaohao, which is completely evil.

Afterwards, the plot of Xu Guanying and Ren's daughter dealing with zombies was also tense and funny, and the audience watching was nervous, cheerful and extremely excited.

Then, Lin Zhengying and his apprentice Qian Xiaohao came forward to subdue the plot of the zombie, and showed the strong professionalism of the zombie priest.

During this process, another apprentice, Xu Guanying, was bitten by a zombie and was poisoned by corpse poison. The subsequent plot was divided into two parts. One was to help Xu Guanying control the corpse poison, and the other was Qian Xiaohao who met the female ghost again. The plot was also interspersed. The profiteer played by Wu Ma, deliberately mixed 30 catties of sticky rice into the 50 catties of glutinous rice sold to Qian Xiaohao, laying another small foreshadowing for the subsequent plot, and Qian Xiaohao was controlled by the female ghost. , An exquisite little design that keeps turning clouds and rains with female ghosts.

Multiple lines of advancement, multiple foreshadowings, multiple burdens, multiple characters, so many elements are mixed together, but the rhythm can be handled very compactly,

And it's not messy at all, which is extremely rare, and there are various ways to carry jokes. Not only can jokes be naturally incorporated into various plots, but also many interesting jokes are incorporated into martial arts actions, don't look This is just a comedy movie with no depth, but from these points, it is enough to see that the staff behind this movie is very solid.

Immediately after that, Lin Zhengying's story of fighting female ghosts is also very tense and interesting. The fighting scenes are intense and interesting. There are also many Taoist practices and behaviors of using magic tools. While showing professionalism, it is also more convincing.

In the episode of Fighting Girl Ghosts, the female ghost was defeated by Lin Zhengying and fled. The original beautiful courtyard suddenly turned into a dilapidated and dilapidated courtyard. Lin Zhengying returned with his apprentice, and one of his two apprentices was poisoned with corpse poison, and the other was killed by corpse poison. Fascinated by ghosts, Lin Zhengying can only solve them one by one, while helping Xu Guanying control the corpse poison, while setting up a formation to wait for the female ghost to come to the door.

The role of the female ghost in the play is not a pure villain. On the contrary, because she is sincere to Qian Xiaohao, she gives an explanation that is acceptable to the audience for everything she does, which makes her image relatively positive. After the fierce fight, Lin Zhengying did not kill the female ghost, but let Qian Xiaohao call the shots. Qian Xiaohao's actions did not disappoint the audience. He removed the bondage of the female ghost and let her go. After the female ghost escaped , the audience at the scene also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the crisis of the female ghost has been resolved, the real Boss, that is, the zombie that Mr. Ren's father turned into has not yet been resolved, so the final high-level plot of the movie is to fight this zombie Boss.

At a critical moment, Lin Zhengying's junior brother, who appeared in the title, came to the rescue again with a team of zombies. This echo of the beginning and end of the film is also very interesting in the structure of the film. The younger brother was impressed, so when they saw him appear with zombies at this time, everyone was very happy.

Next, Junior Brother Lin Zhengying controlled a group of zombies to fight with a zombie boss. The setting also exceeded the audience's expectations. Originally, they thought that eight zombies would fight against one zombie, and the big boss would be killed by the hands of the same kind. One zombie plus Lin Zhengying's younger brother, equals a big parallel import. Eight zombies were defeated in only one round. It was unexpected, but it was reasonable.

At the end of the film, everyone fights the zombies together, and finally burns the zombie boss to ashes. This also echoes what Lin Zhengying said to Mr. Ren in the first half. The safest way to prevent zombies is to cremate. I disagree. In the end, he lost his life and everyone spent a lot of time. His father was still burnt clean. The setting of this small detail is somewhat ironic.

At the very end, the screenwriter shook a burden. The zombies Lin Zhengying brought to help were all burnt down by a fire. These eight parallel imports had a wave of water at the beginning and a wave of water at the end. In the end, I completely returned to the West, and I also adhered to the professional ethics of being a "parallel importer", with a little more sense of humor...

After this last burden shook, the whole movie came to an end, and Lucas looked at the performance of the audience around him, and was about to cheer with excitement.

What surprised him was that after the film was over, someone in the theater took the lead in applauding, so the applause was continuous, with cheers and whistles mixed in, and the atmosphere was extraordinarily warm.

Although this movie is very old, although the picture quality is average and the special effects are even weaker to the extreme, its plot is compact and coherent, and the various plots, jokes, burdens and foreshadowings are all combined just right. A plot is also explained, and every burden is shaken. The audience watched nervous, exciting, interesting and devoted in these 100 minutes, allowing them to have a deeper understanding of the many aspects of "China Zombies". Features and background, so the whole movie is very complete in the minds of the audience, and the experience is also perfect.

After the theater was over, many audience members were still unfulfilled. They rarely watched Hong Kong movies. They didn’t expect that this movie was fast-paced, tight in plot, tense, exciting, relaxed and interesting, and full of exotic flavors. When they left the stage, they were still exchanging some plots in the movie, and Lucas listened with pricked ears among the crowd.

Some people are talking about the unique characteristics of the Chinese zombie setting. For example, zombies can only jump. For example, zombies rely on the breath of people to determine the position of people. For example, although zombies are afraid of zombie Taoist talismans, magic weapons, and spells, the two sides are not. It is an absolute repressive relationship. When encountering powerful zombies, Taoist spells and instruments will also lose their effect. This is very interesting and relatively reasonable. It is not like many American supernatural legends or film and television works. Cutting off the head with a knife will result in sudden death, and even the strongest werewolf will die if stabbed by a silver dagger.

Some people also discussed the Taoist priest played by Lin Zhengying in the movie. This character is particularly lovable in the play, not only because of his appearance, but also because of his "professionalism" shown in the movie. The most important thing is that his three views are very in line with the setting of the protagonist of the film and television drama. Although he seems to be meticulous, he understands right and wrong very well, so after he has spent a lot of hard work to subdue the female ghost, he did not. He insisted on killing her, which made him even more flesh and blood.

There are also viewers who feel sorry for the female ghost. They feel that the character is very plump and three-dimensional. She fell in love with Qian Xiaohao because of the kindness of the fragrance. After that, she tried to get close to him several times and have a spring night with him, but she didn't have any. Wanting to hurt his mind, even when she saw Qian Xiaohao was in danger, she desperately broke through the formation set up by Lin Zhengying, and wanted to save Qian Xiaohao's life, even when Lin Zhengying, who had been trying to kill him, was in danger behind her back, she It can also take the initiative to remind Lin Zhengying that such a character is particularly sympathetic in the eyes of North American audiences who are used to watching romantic dramas such as "The Ghost of a Ghost", and many audiences even hope that she can finally come together with Qian Xiaohao.

Lucas eavesdropped all the way with an unbearable heart. After leaving the theater, the first thing he did was to call Li Mu.

It is two o'clock in the morning in New York time, and it is two o'clock in the afternoon in Yanjing, which has a 12-hour time difference with New York.

Li Mu was in a closed-door meeting with a group of people in Yanjing to discuss the specific planning of the film and television base. He had already forgotten about the premiere of "Zbie-Master" in North America, and received a call from Lucas. He didn't want to answer at first, but after hesitating for a moment, he paused the meeting and connected the phone.

"Hello Mr. Li!" As soon as the call was connected, Lucas greeted Li Mu excitedly on the other end of the phone.

Li Mu said, "You are also Lucas, is there anything wrong with calling me at this time?"

Lucas's voice trembled with excitement, and said, "Mr. Li, "Zbie-Master" just finished its zero-point premiere, and the audience's response was excellent. I think the reputation of this movie will be better after tomorrow. It was a blast, and it must have been much higher at the box office than we expected."

Li Mu asked him, "How much can I get?"

Lucas said: "Judging from the performance of the audience today, I think there is definitely no problem with the box office of 100 million US dollars, and even 150 million is not impossible, and you gave the theater an additional 20%. The theater chain is now waiting to see the word-of-mouth and attendance of this film. I think the word-of-mouth of this film will spread tomorrow, and the theater chain will continue to increase the number of films on the original basis. In this case, the overall box office will increase by 3. 40% is not a problem at all!"
