Chapter 770
Chapter 770
The movie begins.
What is presented to the audience at the beginning is a wild animal park.
Kind of like a documentary about wildlife.
All kinds of animals appeared one by one.
Because the film effect is good enough, the audience has a feeling that they are visiting the zoo.
"You grew up in a zoo?"
"I was born there too, a small town in Hanzhou..."
Two people were chatting, and to the audience's surprise, one of the chatters was played by Jian Jian!
The other person is not a well-known actor, this is an unremarkable, dark-skinned man.
...
auditorium.
"Remember?"
An Xu instantly understood the intention of the film.
Xianyu's "Tuner" also started with a dialogue between two people, and then unfolded the memories in the form of memories, which made An Xu feel more at ease.
That "Tuner" is a suspense film.
Commercial attributes are also doing well.
"The colors are beautiful."
Jiang Zhu focused on the zoo just now.
All kinds of strange animals are very interesting, which is why some people like to watch the animal world. Wild animals have an inexplicable attraction to human beings.
...
on the giant screen.
Two men eat.
Character relationships are revealed in dialogue.
Simple played the role of an aspiring writer who came to the man's house as a guest to collect materials for writing.
He is a man who is very strict with his own works. He once ruined the text he had written for two years because he was not satisfied with the story.
He heard people say:
This man named Pai once explored the sea, and the process was full of twists and turns.
Pie didn't refuse.
He invites writers to dinner, and begins to tell his story from his birth.
The pace of the story is very slow.
Pai talked about his own birth, his childhood, and even his school experience, as well as his and his family's religious beliefs.
...
very strange.
An Xu frowned slightly.
Pai narrates his own affairs, as if it has nothing to do with the adventure itself, which does not conform to the rhythm of commercial films at all.
Xianyu shouldn't even know what rhythm should be used to tell a story in a commercial film, right?
wrong!
An Xu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, this doesn't seem to be a commercial film, at least not a purely commercial film!
"Almost half an hour."
Jiang Zhu looked at the time on the phone, his gaze became a little strange.
The movie advertises that this is a story about sea survival and adventure, but nearly half an hour has passed since the movie, and the sea adventure hasn't started yet?
This pace is frighteningly slow!
What the hell is this movie about?
A senior screenwriter like Jiang Zhu doesn't think that Xianyu will show the audience a bunch of useless plots in the limited time of the film. He has laid the groundwork for so long in the early stage, so he must have something to express.
But the problem is...
It's terrible to do this in terms of rhythm. The audience's patience is very limited, and everyone's patience is almost reaching its limit!
It really sucks.
An Xu and Jiang Zhu could clearly feel that the audience was a little impatient.
There were whispers in the auditorium.
"so boring."
"Why haven't you gotten to the point for so long?"
"It's completely different from what I imagined."
"I can understand the story of the tiger. Pai wants to prove that tigers have feelings for humans, but isn't the other part of the introduction a bit redundant..."
"It's so boring, it depends on falling asleep."
"Xianyu's movie is a bit substandard."
"Is the preparation time too long?"
"Who cares who Pai's family is."
"His parents and elder brother have too many scenes."
"..."
The audience was beginning to be dissatisfied.
The movie takes half an hour to tell the story of Pai's childhood and school days, and there are countless plots about his parents and brother, which seem to have nothing to do with the theme of the movie!
And just when the audience is about to lose patience.
The plot finally has a turning point!
Pai's father suddenly announced one day that he had sold the zoo and wanted to transport the animals to Qinzhou on the other side of the ocean!
Amid Pai's dissatisfaction and confusion, the family went to sea!
An Xu and Jiang Zhu looked at each other, and they both saw the weirdness in each other's eyes.
Obviously.
Both of them realized that there was something wrong with this movie, and it seemed that there was a huge difference from their imagination!
Fortunately, we finally got to the point.
...
on the giant screen.
Pai and his family took the ferry to sea.
Countless animals on the ferry live at the bottom of the cabin. The huge ferry is like a continent, and it is also like a sea fortress, moving slowly and firmly.
this night.
Pai couldn't sleep, and wanted to go out for a walk.
Opening the hatch, Pai found that the wind was blowing outside, and the sea was even more choppy, with huge waves beating against the ship!
"storm!"
It was the first time Pai saw such a spectacular sight since he was a child. He waved his arms and let the sea water wet himself.
thump.
He fell down.
He panicked a bit, but found that the lights on the boat were all on, and someone was shouting:
"The cabin is flooded!"
Pai was frightened and wanted to wake up his parents and family members, but he fell on the boat after taking two steps. The sailors had already lowered the lifeboat: "The old man and the children go first!"
All of a sudden, there was a burst of crying and shouting!
Pi was almost pushed into the lifeboat by the sailors.
He wanted to save his family, but the sailors stopped him, because the situation was very critical, and in the panic, the animals imprisoned at the bottom of the cabin somehow escaped.
boom!
The zebra fell into the lifeboat and broke the reins. The white lifeboat fell into the sea and became a rootless duckweed.
"Parker!"
In a panic.
Pai saw a tiger climbed onto the boat in the sea, and Parker was Pai's name for the tiger.
Shipwrecked.
Humans and animals are following the instinct of survival!
And when the storm subsided, it was dawn.
Pai firmly grasped the pole on the lifeboat and flipped into the cabin.
At this time.
In the distance, an orangutan boarded a boat on a floating banana.
This orangutan is also a zoo creature, named Orange Juice.
suddenly.
A hyena came out, trying to attack Pie.
It turned out that in the shipwreck, besides the zebra, the hyena was also on board, and of course the tiger shrank into the narrow cabin after boarding.
Now it's lively.
There are different creatures on this little lifeboat.
They are the zebra who broke his leg when he fell into the boat, the orangutan who boarded the boat with bananas, the hyena who got on the boat without knowing when, the tiger who entered the cabin after boarding the boat, and of course the protagonist of this movie!
The hyena grinned.
Zebras can't move.
The orangutan looked sad.
Pai hid in the bow position.
The tiger hides in the dark.
On the narrow lifeboat, several different animals coexist, and there is a helpless human hiding in the bow, drifting in the boundless sea, what kind of story will happen between them?
...
Pi is telling the story.
The writer's expression changed, obviously attracted by this story.
And in front of the screen.
The audience gradually stopped complaining and stared at the giant screen.
This exciting shipwreck made the audience almost forget the boring foreshadowing in the first 30 minutes. When the shipwreck happened, everyone's chairs even shook slightly, as if they had also experienced a shipwreck!
"What a weird scene!"
"Four animals in a lifeboat and a terrified main character!"
"When will the tiger come out?"
"Made me so nervous!"
"Zebras and orangutans don't hurt people, but this hyena has an obvious tendency to attack the protagonist!"
"This hyena can't be killed by a tiger?"
"The first half hour was too boring, but this part is interesting."
"..."
There are familiar audiences communicating with each other, but the entire theater is covered by the background sound of the movie, and the discussion is low and inaudible.
"call."
An Xu let out a breath: "A wild imagination."
In the past adventure stories, there were always a group of people together, men and women performing their duties, but Xianyu's sea survival turned out to be a group of animals staying on the boat, and only one protagonist was a human.
"The audience is already hooked."
Jiang Zhu looked around, and then said.
Not only ordinary audiences, but she as a screenwriter is also attracted by this amazing brain hole. Who is not curious about what stories will happen on such a lifeboat with wonderful relationships?
To know……
Land creatures are in the ocean, which itself is against logic, that is, a shipwreck caused all the animals on board to escape, so such a weird and miraculous scene happened.
And this is entirely the whimsy of the screenwriter!
It's just that Jiang Zhu and An Xu still couldn't figure out why the 30-minute pre-movie preparation was so long.
No matter how you look at it, those thirty minutes are boring.
It doesn't seem to have much connection with the current situation. It's a bloated prefix that can be deleted and simplified into a foreshadowing that can be completed within ten minutes.
at the same time.
It is already difficult for the two of them to treat this movie as a simple commercial film, and commercial films will not be made like this!
Haven't thought about it for now.
The two of them and countless audiences were all curious about the same question, that is, how will the protagonist break the game next?
narrow boat.
Can four animals and one human coexist peacefully?
Not to mention the ferocious hyena among these animals, as well as the terrifying tiger hiding in the dark!
obviously.
The attraction is out.
At this moment, the audience exclaimed!
...
on the giant screen.
The hyena couldn't attack the pie hiding in the bow, but turned around and bit the zebra!
"No!"
Pai has had a deep relationship with animals since he was a child. His eyes were red when he saw this scene, and the orangutan named Orange Juice crazily attacked hyenas to protect zebras.
With a whine, the zebra was killed by the hyena.
at the same time.
Hyenas were also stunned by orangutans.
However.
The hyena woke up after only a few minutes of fainting, and then bit the orangutan!
The orangutan died too.
The audience was worried.
This hyena is too ferocious!
at this time.
A tiger roar sounded.
The tiger named Parker rushed out, killed the hyena in one bite, and then turned to Pai!
Pai quickly retreated.
The tiger didn't succeed and yelled at him, the audience was terrified from being yelled at!
The pattern of biological coexistence is gone!
Zebras, orangutans, and hyenas are all dead!
On the whole boat, only Tiger and the main character Pie are left!
The fantasy drifting of the youth pie, at this moment, really begins!
...
The audience's eyes widened, completely attracted by the plot!
The cruelty of wilderness survival is vividly displayed in front of the audience!
There is no dramatic treatment, and there is no brain opening of the protagonist to tame hyenas and tigers and lead the animals to struggle to survive. There is only the law of nature's law of the jungle!
Hyenas are hungry!
It can't eat people!
So it wants to eat zebras and orangutans!
The tiger was also hungry, so the tiger killed the hyena!
"Tigers have no feelings. Whether hyenas, orangutans or zebras will become its food, pie is also his backup food. When the animals are gone, it will find a way to eat people!"
"Pie has always believed in animals having emotions since he was a child."
"It's hard to say whether this kind of wild animals have emotions, but survival at sea, such cruelty is too normal. Tigers will inevitably eat other animals in order to survive. There was a plot in the first 30 minutes. The father of the boy pie said very well. Well, animals will always be animals, and animals have only animal nature, while humans have human nature, so animals will eat other animals when they are hungry, but humans will not eat humans when they are hungry.”
"I'm too curious about the plot behind it, how will Pai fight the tiger?"
"The propaganda says that Pai will coexist with the tiger for more than 200 days. After more than 200 days, the tiger has not eaten him until there are no bones left?"
"Little old girl, let me know about the protagonist's halo?"
"Look at the next plot, how Xianyu plans to get around."
"..."
The audience has watched it with gusto now, having survived the boring foreshadowing of the first half hour, the plot is still very interesting right now, and the plot has a strong sense of anticipation.
How can humans and tigers coexist for more than two hundred days?
Everyone is very curious about this.
...
As the movie was shown, An Xu was also thinking, but he thought more than ordinary audiences!
He is not a fool!
After watching the movie for about an hour, how stupid it is to treat this movie as an ordinary commercial movie!
It wasn't that An Xu was slow to react.
In fact, the boring foreshadowing of the first 30 minutes has already made An Xu realize that something is wrong with this movie.
He smelled a smell!
That is the flavor of a literary film!
Art films?
With an investment of hundreds of millions and top-notch shooting specifications, it turned out that Xianyu made a literary film?
An Xu felt that his understanding of the movie had a huge impact!
This is the reason why An Xu didn't dare to be sure until now!
How dare a person dare to play like this!
Spending so many billions is a bet on the profitability of a literary film! ?
Go crazy!
If you use the filming method of a literary film to tell an interesting plot, the audience will buy it! ?
Too greedy!
Xianyu wants both the word-of-mouth reputation of a literary film and the box office of a commercial film, so he made such a movie!
From boring to fun, it takes a full hour!
This movie has just begun to enter the plot rhythm of man and tiger!
How much turmoil will the subsequent plot have to support this investment?
An Xu couldn't imagine it!
And at the same time that An Xu fully reacted, Jiang Zhu also came back to her senses, her expression became horrified, and her tone was full of disbelief:
"This is a literary film!"
An Xu's eyes flickered:
"Weakness is the original sin, so even with the protection of the orangutan, the zebra with a broken leg is still powerless in front of the hyena, and the orangutan who protected the zebra was also killed by the hyena. This shows that even if you want to protect others, you must You must have the strength to protect others, otherwise you will only be implicated and killed together."
This truth is not difficult to understand.
Jiang Zhu gradually understood the idea: "The hyena is an evil force, and the tiger is a greater evil force. This can be understood as a kind of evil eating evil, and the evil will eventually be swallowed by the more evil, but isn't this too simple? ?”
This is a literary film!
After recognizing the essence of this movie, many shots should not just look at the superficial meaning, but should think from a deeper perspective, but this level of thinking seems to be unable to satisfy the connotation and depth of literary films.
"Xianyu is too greedy and impatient this time."
An Xu shook his head: "There are already bugs in the movie."
"What bug?"
Jiang Zhu's gaze narrowed slightly.
An Xu said: "Think about how the orangutan boarded the boat before. It boarded the boat with floating bananas. Not to mention whether bananas can float in the sea, even if bananas can float in the sea, do you think those bananas can float?" Carry the weight of an orangutan?"
Jiang Zhu's eyes widened!
yes!
How can a banana carry an orangutan weighing several hundred kilograms?
This plot really has bugs!
Leaving aside the evaluation after the movie is finished, Xianyu's physics knowledge will be criticized by professionals anyway.
"Actually, it's just a trivial matter."
An Xu shook his head: "The real point is that he only got to the point in an hour. Such a slow pace can't afford the investment cost of this film. He wants to win the word-of-mouth of literary films and the box office of commercial films at the same time. There were greedy people before, but you, as an industry insider, should know as well as I do."
Jiang Zhu nodded.
Xianyu's plan is too big, but judging from the current level of this movie, although it is wonderful, it cannot support such a big plan and expectation. It can only be said that it is a very good idea for people and animals to survive at sea .
...
In fact.
In the major movie theaters, many industry insiders who were watching movies were stunned one after another after realizing Xianyu's huge plot!
some of.
There are directors, screenwriters, film critics, etc. Xianyu's film has indeed attracted the attention of many people in the industry!
"This fucking is actually a literary film!?"
"The point is, it doesn't have the taste of a literary film, but instead only discusses the relationship between humans, animals and nature?"
"What the hell is he thinking?"
"Is this plot worth such a high investment?"
"If he wants to take the route of commercial films, but also wants to take the route of literary films, doesn't he know the reason why they can't have both?"
"too crazy!"
"Although the plot like this is interesting now, the rhythm ahead of him is too slow, and it takes a full hour to get into the state!"
"The structure is too bloated."
"How can there be a literary film that is embodied by a group of animals!"
"It's not that the structure is bloated. On the contrary, it feels that the structure is too simple. People and tigers are surviving on the sea. This kind of thing alone is not enough to express the deep connotation, but he paved the way for an hour!"
"Xianyu is still suitable for smaller investments."
"Big productions are not for him."
"It can only be said that everyone is good at different things. From the perspective of the script alone, it is still interesting, at least not so that people can't watch it halfway through."
"..."
For people in the industry, this movie can only be said to be not bad, but if we want to say how good it is, it really can't be!
But the film investment is too high!
If you do this, it will be difficult to pay back!
During this process, a small number of people remained silent.
Because there is still one hour left in the movie, Xianyu may not have the possibility of making a comeback in the next hour, although this possibility is very slim.
And at this time.
The movie goes on.
What no one realizes is that from the moment the hyena eats the zebra, the film has become eerie and terrifying!
