Chapter 196: Not Curious

Knowing that this is a comedy before coming, Geng Shu naturally would not evaluate Lost on Journey according to the standard of The Night the Comet Came.

The opening of the movie is a bit ordinary, and there is no part that can catch the audience's attention at once. After watching the previous trailer, Geng Shu knew that the two protagonists have different identities and classes and different levels of education. The movie's funny points must come from the contrast between their living habits, and whether this degree can be grasped well will be the key to whether the movie is good or not.

"I tell you, people can be generous and honest!" Niu Geng, played by Weng Zehua, educated his companions seriously.

"Niu Geng? Does this name mean Geng Shu, who is awesome!" Geng Shu thought to himself in his heart, and he also knew that Niu Geng, played by Weng Zehua, is an honest person, so Li Chenggong, played by Wen Zhaodong, must not be very honest.

Comedy movies also have a core. He didn't need to watch the whole movie to know that Li Chenggong must have been influenced by Niu Geng's qualities along the way and changed.

Sure enough, Li Chenggong, who appeared later, was forced by the mistress to go home and divorce his wife.

For a comedy, it is not a problem to be able to guess the main plot, but whether it is funny or not is important.

Not long after, the two met at the airport, and then laughter gradually appeared in the theater. At first, because the theater was sparsely populated and relatively empty, it was too abrupt for one person to laugh, so the media and film critics were very reserved.

But when they saw Niu Geng being stopped by security and drinking a large bucket of milk in one breath, they couldn't hold it back and made the same sigh as Li Chenggong in the movie: "What a talent!"

Weng Zehua in the front row stretched out his hand to cover his face. During the filming, in order to be realistic, he really drank half a bucket of milk. Later, Yan Ran also told him that he didn't stop drinking it at the end, just pour it out, so that he was filled with milk fragrance all day.

But for him, compared with the supporting role of going through wind and rain without showing his face, this little bit of hardship is nothing.

Geng Shu also thought this segment was interesting. He was really shocked by the silly character played by Weng Zehua. Weng Zehua's temperament and the image in the play did not feel out of place at all.

Thinking of the controversy before the movie was released, Geng Shu couldn't help but compare in his mind which star would have a better effect than Weng Zehua, but he couldn't come to a conclusion after thinking about it.

Xu Rui had watched this movie several times. His attention was not focused on the movie. He looked back from time to time to observe the reactions of the critics.

Yan Ran found his movements a little funny, shook his hand, and whispered: "Don't observe, it's so embarrassing to be discovered."

Xu Rui didn't mind at all: "I'm not embarrassed."

"Who said you." Yan Ran glared at him, "I mean when people are watching happily, they suddenly find that they are being stared at by a pair of eyes in the front row. How uncomfortable it is."

"Not a pair." Xu Rui corrected.

"Ah?" Yan Ran was puzzled.

"Look over there." Xu Rui gestured for her to look at the other side.

Yan Ran turned her head and saw Du Xiao also turning her head to observe quietly, more like a spy than Xu Rui.

"Watch the movie well!" Yan Ran immediately pulled Du Xiao back, "Pay attention to your image!"

The three of them did not affect other people's viewing of the movie. As the movie played, the laughter in the theater became more and more unrestrained.

Geng Shu watched the two people from the plane to the train, and then from the train to the bus, sleeping in the same bed and getting on the wrong bed, running out of breath to chase the winning lottery ticket, and he was also very happy.

The movie was still a few sentences, and the two took turns driving the car after the winning lottery. As a result, Niu Geng actually fell asleep while driving.

Afterwards, Li Chenggong grabbed Geng Shu's collar and roared: "You actually fell asleep while driving, fell asleep?!

I tell you, there are thousands of roads, safety is the first, driving is not standardized, and relatives are in tears!"

Geng Shu thought this part was good. The honest and simple Niu Geng was not full of positive energy, and he also made big mistakes. And Li Chenggong was not just a selfish person, but also responsible.

Seeing the two finally return home after all the trouble, Geng Shu felt relieved, fearing that the two would fail along the way.

The film was just as he expected. Li Chenggong was influenced by Niu Geng and eventually returned to his family. It was just that the two met on the plane at the end, which made the gradually calm film atmosphere lively again, and then it froze and ended.

Geng Shu was not in a hurry to leave. The crew list was scrolling on the screen, and he was recalling the past hour and a half.

He found that he could clearly recall most of the details. Several shots, such as the scene of Niu Geng drinking milk, had been deeply imprinted in his mind.

He took out his mobile phone, opened the notepad, and wrote his thoughts: the laughs were sufficient and simple, very memorable, and the image and temperament of the two leading actors were very suitable for the characters in the play, and their acting skills were also very good.

His fingers tapped the screen, and soon he felt that he was covered by a figure. When he looked up, he saw Xu Rui turned his head quickly, as if he was not peeking just now.

He could still recognize Xu Rui. Geng Shu was speechless. How big of a star are you? Why do you do this? He stopped writing, put away his phone, stood up and said, "Hello, I'm Geng Shu, a film critic."

"Hello, I was attracted by your phone when I passed by just now. Is it the new Dongfeng A20?" Xu Rui was discovered and spoke, "I am the spokesperson for the A series. I can't walk when I see this series. Please don't be surprised. I definitely don't want to read what you wrote. I'm not very curious."

"..." This was the first time Geng Shu came into contact with Xu Rui, and he was convinced, "It's okay."

Yan Ran and Du Xiao both walked out, only to find that Xu Rui behind them had not followed. When they came back, they saw him talking to Geng Shu, thinking that they knew each other.

"What do you think of this movie?" Since they were already chatting, Xu Rui simply asked directly.

Geng Shu smiled and said, "It's quite interesting, a popular road comedy, focusing on details, the story is smooth, and the rhythm is moderate. It is a good comedy movie. I will give it 7-8 points."

Xu Rui looked at him suspiciously: "Isn't it a courtesy? The score in person is 7.1, and the online score is 1.7."

"..." Geng Shu found that Xu Rui was also quite comedic, which was different from the masculine and high-spirited on the stage. "Don't worry, no, my film reviews are all signed."

Who knew that Xu Rui blurted out: "No trumpet?"

"Absolutely not!" Geng Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xu Rui nodded: "I believe you, and I will invite you next time."

Geng Shu immediately inquired: "Has the next movie been decided?"

"It's decided, so stay tuned." Xu Rui didn't reveal too much, said hello, and left.

When they met up with Yan Ran and Du Xiao at the door, they asked, "Do you know the guy just now?"

Xu Rui shook his head, "No, we talked for a while, and he gave a good review of our movie. He's a discerning person."

"Whoever says you're good has discerning taste, right?"

Xu Rui nodded as a matter of course, "Of course not. What time is it now? Are you sleepy? Do you want to watch something else?"

Yan Ran shook her head, "I'm a little sleepy. Let's watch it tomorrow. Let's go back to sleep."
