Chapter 399 Crime
It was rare for Liu Li to take time out to spend time with Wang Yan. The two of them didn't go anywhere all day long and kept chatting and chatting in the hotel.
In the afternoon, Lin Weiwei called to ask if she wanted to arrange a dinner party. Liu Li looked back at Wang Yan, and the young master waved his hand.
"I will stay in the Imperial Capital for a while, don't worry, today is our world for two."
Thirty thousand dollars came up happily.
"Shall we go see a movie tonight?"
It's rare for a young lady to be interested, so of course Wang Yan is happy to accompany her.
"Okay, what are you looking at?"
"Predecessor Two!"
Wang Yan was frightened when he heard the title of the film. He frowned and asked, "Is there a plan B? Isn't the reputation of my ex so bad?"
Liu Li flicked the screen of her mobile phone and shook her head: "There are no good movies now, just a romantic comedy like this..."
Well, what matters anyway is not the movie itself, but who you go to see it with.
Wang Yan stopped being picky and stood up happily.
"Then let's go!"
Go watch a love movie like an ordinary couple, eat popcorn, drink happy water, gooey and greasy, spend only a hundred yuan in total, but you can gain a lasting happiness.
Movies are not the cheapest in spiritual entertainment consumption, but they are indispensable.
Sitting in the hotel car, we rushed to Yida Plaza, holding hands among the crowd. Young Master Wang found the ordinary life that he had not seen for a long time.
The movie itself is quite average and fits the reputation well.
The most serious problems are the cliche and forced comedy.
The attendance rate can perfectly reflect the problem, but what reflects the problem even more is that 10 minutes after the opening, Wang Yan started poking at Xiao Liuli.
The movie is not as fun as her...ah, bah, not as good as her.
Liu Li didn't resist and was obedient.
Anyway, there were only a few couples doing the same thing. It was very exciting in the dark.
And in the middle of winter, you can’t do anything too extreme—you don’t want to, but you really can’t.
To put it in the vernacular: take off your shoes to freeze your feet, take off your pants to freeze your butt, put your hands in and everyone will be warm.
After returning home from the show, Mr. Wang had no idea what the movie was about. When he asked Liu Li, she didn't know either.
"It's all your fault! You keep causing mischief!"
Miss Thirty Wan smacked Wang Wang in shame and anger, sending out an obvious signal: her skin was itchy.
Young Master Wang understood in seconds, he went up and knocked her down, and then did whatever he had to do.
It's a bit difficult to hit two of Mr. Wang's 79 points of physical fitness, but it's easy and enjoyable to hit one. I won't mention the details.
After Liu Li fell asleep, Sage Wang had nothing to do. He opened Douban and "easily" gave the movie a five-point rating.
2 points for basic points and 3 points for entertainment.
Mr. Wang is a kind person, and he deserves extra points if he has a pleasant experience.
I took a look at the box office data on the way and was amazed - within 20 days of release, the box office revenue was 270 million.
This is all because of the hype surrounding Singles’ Day.
It shouldn't be a loss. Urban comedies are cheap to shoot, and there are big-name stars. Advertising placement can be crazy enough to show off any scene.
However, the results certainly did not meet expectations.
Who are the four leading actors?
The little cheetah Zheng Kai, the new-generation little flower Guo Caijie, one of the four top traffic figures in the country, Little Sheep, and Wang Chuanjun in the love apartment.
Before the film was released, the lineup was widely praised.
The film schedule for the premiere was quite torn, and there was not a single one that could play in the same period. That’s it, it’s still “only” 270 million.
What's the reason?
Young Master Wang thought seriously about it for half a night.
It is of course easy to attribute the problem simply and crudely to "quality".
But how to interpret quality?
Lack of practical reference significance.
The key point Wang Yan sees is that word-of-mouth has an increasingly strong two-way effect during the film's release period.
The topic of "The Prequel" is not weak, and it has been discussed on all major social media - the schedule is not popular, the opponent is weak, and fans do not discuss it, there is no other topic.
The fighting power of Little Sheep fans is very strong, and they are constantly making tricks. Zhang has fully fulfilled his role as a top player.
That is: let the film appear frequently in the public eye.
However, there is no soft use.
Because the reputation is so bad.
It’s not because of the poor scores on the rating software. The ratings on Maoyan and Douban are really quite high. The film producers spent a lot of money to praise the film, and fans of Little Sheep even gave it a 10-point rating.
But in the real sense, the reputation in the circle of friends is poor.
In various small circles formed on various social platforms, viewers who have watched it generally advise their friends: Don’t waste time.
If it weren’t for the fact that couples really have no other reliable choice when dating in a movie theater, maybe 170 million people might not have it.
This movie is really cheap for its schedule.
However, the film's weaknesses are too obvious - it is cliche and lacks outstanding advantages.
Even if there is one strong point that can turn the reputation around, the situation may be different.
In today's era, there is really no need to make a classic that is perfect in every aspect, it is too difficult and uncontrolled.
As long as you are particularly strong in one aspect, you can make some audiences enthusiastically love it, and you can be spontaneous and beneficial, and you can drive neutral audiences.
The most troublesome thing is the kind of comprehensively mediocre film that you don’t know how to praise even if you want to.
The original witch is the other extreme - weak in places and violent in strong places.
So, despite its mediocre overall quality, it won rave reviews from action fans.
Another example before this is the Southeast Asian movie "The Raid", a top-notch action movie produced in a third-rate country.
Wang Yan was greatly inspired by his thinking.
Don’t worry about the action scenes of the new version of Witch. It must be a strong point, and the probability of polishing it to be better than the original version is very high.
However, in order to maximize the impact, it is best to create some other outstanding advantages in the early dull scenes.
Fu Yushi's beauty is an advantage. She needs to find a good photographer to capture a good picture.
After that, Wang Yan focused on those two songs.
…
The next day, after sending Liu Li back to school, Mr. Wang found Xiao Gongju who was practicing hard in the singing room of the Musical Theater Department.
We haven't seen Fu Yushi for half a month, and no obvious changes have happened to Fu Yushi.
Quiet and elegant, his eyes never stray when he looks at people, and he never has any exaggerated expressions.
When he looked at Wang Yan quietly, his eyes were extremely clear.
"Okay! Hey, don't move and give me an angry look!"
Director Wang rushed over with a very enthusiastic and artistic temperament. He gestured with his hands and pushed towards her face, as if he was taking a close-up.
Fu Yushi gave him a look that said, "You are mentally retarded."
Not to mention, the emotions are conveyed extremely well.
It was boring to ask for such a big deal, but Wang Yan was very happy.
Upon closer inspection, the young master suddenly realized that Xiao Gongju’s eyes were really suitable for filming.
Fu Yushi has a senior sister who is a little girl in the entertainment industry. She is very good-looking, but she is often criticized for her dead eyes. In fact, it is just because her irises are too dark.
There is more than one similar actress in the entertainment industry.
In terms of acting skills, micro-expressions are not enough.
In terms of hard conditions, the eyes are large and dull, and the pupils and iris are of the same color. Once exposed to a close-up, the bottom of the eyes will immediately disappear.
But Fu Yushi is different. Her eyes are clear in black and white, and her irises are relatively shallow and very layered.
What a natural talent...
Young Master Wang sighed and walked around in a circle, looking her up and down.
Xiao Gongju's scalp was numb when he saw it.
"What are you doing? You get crazy when you come here."
Young Master Wang was very trembling: "The producer came to inspect the actress, what's your attitude, huh?!"
Fu Yushi curled her lips and put on her headphones again.
She's not too shy to tell Wang Yan apart - don't think I didn't notice your gaze lingering behind my waist for two seconds!
Is it necessary to check the degree of cockiness when shooting an action movie?
Well, sometimes it is necessary, but not this time.
Wang Yan stopped messing around with her and asked with interest, "How are you doing? Are those two songs ready?"
"Listen and see."
Fu Yushi's response was simple, but extremely confident.
The accompaniment was in headphones, so what Wang Yan heard was a cappella singing.
"When a ship sinks to the bottom of the sea, when a person becomes a mystery..."
Damn it!
As soon as Fu Yushi opened her mouth, goosebumps aroused on Wang Yan's body.
Is the little Gongju singing so nice? !
Simply stunning!
Of course, Fu Yushi's singing skills cannot be compared with GEM.
She is a monster of extraordinary talent, firmly number one among the new generation of female singers, and possesses the best strong mixing and voice changing skills among her peers in the entire world.
But Xiao Gongju's skills are not bad - he was admitted to the musical theater department, but his singing skills are poor. What's wrong?
And her strength is her voice.
It's clear and clean, and the graininess at the edge of the sound is very strong. It rubs the eardrums one by one. It's so refreshing.
Coupled with her own cool temperament, she is as quiet and blooming as a winter plum, which is particularly eye-catching.
Wang Yan endured the surprise and continued to listen.
In the middle of the song, the sense of surprise gradually weakens.
Because Fu Yushi is used to the bel canto singing style of musicals, her vocals and resonance are too "correct", so it's a bit weird to use it for pop singing.
"Okay, let's stop here."
Wang Yan clapped his hands to stop.
Fu Yushi took off her headphones and looked over with big eyes full of expectation, but she didn't directly ask, "How was my singing?"
He just said: "I put more effort in the beginning."
Producer Wang nodded in approval: "The first four sentences are enough. We only need a preemptive effect to show the witch's all-round talent, but there is not so much film time wasted on minutiae."
After a pause, he gave a thumbs up: "Great singing!"
Fu Yushi smiled with satisfaction, picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, and showed proactively: "Listen to me singing opera again."
She sang "Let No One Sleep Tonight", the most widely circulated song in the opera "Turandot".
This time, instead of singing from the beginning, I sang directly to the climax.
As soon as the high note came out, Wang Yan's whole body felt like an electric shock, tingling and numbing.
In terms of technique, he is no better than Teacher Dai Yuqiang, but in terms of listening experience, Wang Yan personally feels that he is more than a step ahead.
This is a victory for the voice. Female voices are inherently more pleasant than male voices, and Fu Yushi is so unique.
The immaturity of her skills will inevitably lead to a large number of flaws and connection problems when she sings the entire song, and the overall performance is not particularly listenable.
However, Wang Yan didn't need her to sing the whole song at all!
In just two or three sentences, it will explode!
Those few sentences were carefully polished, and Fu Yushi's performance was at the top level in the world!
Wang Yan could even foresee such a scene——
The slightly dull plot progressed to the time when the witch participated in a singer talent show. She looked slightly embarrassed, bit her lip slightly, and then raised the microphone.
Originally, the audience's attention had been somewhat distracted and their emotions had stabilized, but under the close-up lens, Fu Yushi's astonishing beauty revived their interest.
She suddenly raised her head, looked directly into the camera, and spoke.
Damn it!
It sounds so good!
The audience was shocked. Their originally low expectations were over-satisfied, and they were trembling with excitement.
However, there are only two sentences.
The audience was itchy, whispering to their companions, and even venting their emotions violently, but could not hear more.
Ten minutes later, the even more explosive "No One Can Sleep" will complete its first critical attack on them.
The witch is a genius who is top-notch in everything she does. You have to believe in her and be deeply fascinated by her.
The original lead actor couldn't do this, but Fu Yushi can.
"Very good, very good, super good!"
Young Master Wang was extremely excited and felt very pleased that he had chosen Fu Yushi.
In fact, I didn't choose at all. It was a natural choice to be elected as a minor. However, people can always find reasons to flatter themselves.
Fu Yushi pursed her lips and smiled, lightly and always so unique.
"I feel a lot of pressure with such a large investment. As long as you are satisfied with it, Producer Wang."
"Satisfied, quite satisfied! You are in better shape than I expected!"
Wang Yan never hesitates to praise when it's due. That's what emotional intelligence is used for.
Fu Yushi was happy, and the solemnity in her brows disappeared, returning to her 19-year-old self.
"Let's go, find a more spacious place, and try your action scenes again!"
Young Master Wang turned around excitedly. As soon as he went out, a pair of bears suddenly jumped out.
"Gouzi, why are you dragging Shishi secretly?"
Xiong Da stared, not so much in suspicion, but more as if he was venting his dissatisfaction that Wang Yan didn't contact him.
Of course she was very cute, but when she opened her mouth, the smell of green onions almost knocked Wang Yan over.
Ouch, what evil have I done!
I got all the test results today. The situation is worse than expected. I may have to make a comprehensive recovery plan. God is jealous of my handsomeness.
