The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 446 The Gift of Room No. [-]
(Let’s release the two chapters together, make it more coherent, thank you “snowboll” for the reward! Room [-] is a light movie, at least after watching it, you will feel a little less empty than after watching the American blockbuster, at least it can make people aftertaste Then two times, drop two golden beans by the way, you can take a look if you are interested, there are online ones)

Almost everyone at the scene has seen the two premieres on both sides. The gap still exists, but it is more appropriate to say that they are different in style.

It's like Yoon Eun Hye is wearing a red evening dress over there, but here she is wearing a down jacket and talking about the mountains with Liu Jae Suk and Li Menglong.

I can't say which one is better. Anyway, everyone thinks that Li Menglong's premiere is not that bad. However, after a while, an embarrassing scene appeared.

Because when the protagonists of the movie arrived, although everyone looked familiar, they couldn't even name them, and they weren't even as familiar as the girls from apink.

This is also the reason why even my own family is not optimistic about this movie. Can this group of people have any box office appeal?In addition to Seo Hyun, he can also attract some popularity.

But fortunately, the guests at the scene did not go in, so a large group of people stood on the small stage, interacting with everyone and barely cooling down the atmosphere.

The premiere is actually not that complicated, the core is to let the stars show their faces, and Li Menglong's side is almost full of people, why are you still standing here stupidly, so everyone went into the cinema directly.

The largest hall of a movie theater can hold hundreds of people, so only a small number of lucky audiences can sit with the main creators, and there are some small interactions before the screening.

Anyway, there are reporters, even though they are newcomers, there is still a questioning session, but looking at the row of old actors in front of them, these newcomers really don't feel that these uncles can have any topics to talk about.

The most talked about in the entire crew is the director Li Menglong, and of course Xu Xian: "Please share the interesting things about the filming of this movie with the director!"

"There are a lot of them. For example, one of them was shot by Xu Xian. For example, our heroine Ge Suyuan is already Ryu Seung-ryong's goddaughter..." Li Menglong said a lot, but finally asked: "I said Can you put so much in the newspaper for me? If not, I will say less!"

The audience roared with laughter. Rather than being published in the newspapers, these words are more likely to appear on the Internet. After all, the lineup and publicity of this movie are not very good, and with such a schedule, the pressure of competition is too great.

Fortunately, everyone could tell that Li Menglong was in a good mood, so at the end of the chat, the reporters asked a routine question about the box office.

Although this thing is going to be high, it is not too exaggerated. The box office predicted by Ryu Seung-yong on behalf of the actor is 150 million moviegoers.

"Too careful! You're saying that you won't even leave us a piece of tofu tomorrow!" Li Menglong seemed to be a veteran newsman: "You guys will write tomorrow. The director of Room 1000, Li Menglong, predicts that the box office will exceed [-] moviegoers!"

"If your leaders don't pay attention to this news, you can just say that I predicted [-] million!" Li Menglong's satellite made everyone laugh unconsciously. There is still hope for the movie.

"I know the disadvantages of our movie, and it even makes sense that the movie will lose money now! But my team and the company still made it, not for anything else, just for everyone to see When we saw a good story, all of us are making this movie with our hearts, and we hope that everyone can watch it with our hearts, this is really a great story, and I hope it can also be a good movie!" Li Menglong finished speaking Put your hands together and bow to everyone present.

All the actors stood up. Although a large part of the reason for taking this film at the beginning was because of the high salary, but after the filming, they really integrated into their roles. They have Confidence says it's one of their best roles to date.

But why do people like Yuan Bin and Xuan Bin get more attention from people like Yuan Bin and Xuan Bin? As for the declarations of these supporting actors who can't even name them, there is no chance for people to laugh at them. Because no one will see it.

So although it was very interesting and the atmosphere was not bad, the premiere of Room [-] officially ended soon, there were not many topics, and Li Menglong and his group were unwilling to make hype, so everyone should watch the movie well.

Li Menglong was in the position of the main creator, just behind was Girls' Generation, and next to him was Xu Xian, just as the lights in the cinema dimmed, he felt a single fragrance in his ears: "No matter what the movie is, I'm proud of you! "

"It's my turn to comfort you? Let's watch a movie!" I don't know if Li Shungui heard it, but Li Menglong still likes this feeling of being cared about, especially.

The titles of a movie are often all kinds of dazzling titles from major distributors and even investor companies, but Li Menglong's movie is almost a literary film.

It's not about his content, but that the investment is low, the investor is single, and the cast has acting skills but is not well-known. All these are in the category of low-budget literary films.

So the opening titles of this movie are pitiful, except for a few rigid ones, it is one of the opening titles of our own company, and it gave everyone some laughter from the beginning.

There was a gap in the middle of the pitch-black screen, and then a banana was pushed up, and then the black screen automatically acted as a curtain. up.

It's just that the shapes of these three minions are also very distinctive. One is relatively tall and thin with eyes and long hair, and they are wearing formal suits.

Followed by two minions who are much shorter, one is struggling to drag a wooden platform, and the other is trying to be cute.

The audience doesn't know the inside story yet, so it's hard to guess, but the girls can immediately recognize who these minions are among the members. Li Menglong leans forward decisively, otherwise the back of the head will be shot to death.

The three minions stood up one by one, and following the gesture of the formally dressed minion in the middle, a Minion Ode to Banana in Xu Xian's version appeared on the scene.

The brainwashing voice, the pure lyrics and the three naive minions all made everyone laugh out comfortably, except for Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Tae Yeon, you must know that as this meme spreads, whenever there is a new film released by SW in the future, It is estimated that the height of the two will be taken out as a joke.

Accompanied by this magical ode to bananas, the black curtain was opened, and with the flickering lights, several huge letters popped out from behind——SW·B!

That's right, this is the name or number given to each subsidiary after SW's recent internal integration.The film and television distribution company is SW·B, Director Luo's variety show and TV drama production company is SW·Y, the live broadcast company is SW·V, and the singing department of the headquarter, which is the company signed by these artists, is SW·L.

As for the simple meanings in it, such as banana, yse, and vilve, as for the l of the main company, it is purely because Li Monglong and Lee Soon Kyu are both surnamed Li, which is a bit willful.

However, these are some internal divisions of the company, and it is estimated that this group of viewers will not be interested in knowing, as long as everyone finds this opening title interesting.

"Thank you oppa!" Xu Xian felt that Li Menglong had forcefully promoted a wave of minions for her, and always felt very happy.

"Well, remember to treat me to dinner!" Li Menglong finished speaking and the movie officially started.

At the beginning of the movie, Li Menglong brought out the most attractive point of the whole movie, that is, the scene of Xu Xian standing alone in the snow and looking into the distance. Li Menglong patted his chest to guarantee that the exquisite face and beautiful picture The 30-second screen, any screenshot can be directly used as a poster.

Xu Xian is actually a character who promotes the development of the plot in this movie. Although there are not many scenes, it is not enough without her, and Li Menglong shoots all kinds of beauty in Xu Xian's few shots.

Xu Xian has almost only two sets of looks in the whole movie, one is the current winter healing goddess dress, and the other is the professional suit of the female judge to be shown next. That capable appearance is matched with Xu Xian's slightly cold Temperament, Xu Xian is going to attract fans again.

In any case, it is still wearing the skin of comedy, so there is still plenty of jokes at the beginning. Xu Xian kept looking for the uncles he met in prison back then, and all kinds of weird occupations and performances made the audience laugh constantly.

Whether it is a magician with inaccurate fortune-telling or a less-than-professional priest, everyone is happy, and at the same time, I am a little curious about what this story is about.If it ends in such a funny way, everyone doesn't mind.

At this time, all the characters who had just appeared on the stage were sitting on the witness stand of the court, and Xu Xian began to explain to everyone an unjust case more than ten years ago in the attitude of a judge, which is the plot of the upcoming movie. Main article.

Then it was time for Ryu Seung-ryong and his goddaughter Ge Suyuan to perform. Li Menglong spent a full 10 minutes to let everyone know the relationship and background between the two of them, and at the same time told everyone about the cruel scene that was about to happen.

Long Jiu, the idiot played by Ryu Seung-ryong, actually molested a girl to death. Although everyone knew it was impossible through his love for his daughter and God's perspective, the victim's father was the chief of the police station.

So the police who were eager to solve the case threatened the idiot Long Jiu with Yisheng, also known as Long Jiu's daughter. Long Jiu, who wanted to see his daughter, became a murderer in a daze without knowing what he had confessed.

The police, the prison warden, and even the prisoners, all of them didn't like Long Jiu, because scumbags also have a bottom line, but Long Jiu crossed the line, and what he did angered everyone.

Being excluded and beaten, but Long Jiu was still thinking about his daughter optimistically, or he didn't know what the death penalty meant at all.

Occasionally, he did a big favor to the boss in the same prison, which was regarded as saving his life, and the repayment condition proposed by Long Jiu was Yi Sheng, whom he had been talking about all the time.

The movie lasted for half an hour. Except for the jokes at the beginning, it can be said that Li Menglong was just telling a story in the next 10 minutes, and it was a story similar to an injustice case.

Although some jokes from everyone in the prison are interspersed from time to time, the heavy feeling still cannot be dispelled, and the audience can only feel this step.However, although these reporters are young, they are at least knowledgeable, so they feel that it is too much.

Although Li Menglong's story is very good, and the portrayal of each prisoner in the prison is very brilliant, but on the one hand, there is a sense of seizing the limelight of the protagonist, on the other hand, even if you want to promote it first, it is too long and heavy. up.

In other words, they don't think Li Menglong can shoot it with this kind of depressing climax, so seeing now, the few bright spots are the performances of the old actors and Li Menglong's fluent camera language.

And if you give a simple score for the first three 10 minutes of the movie, in fact, the movie's launch is already below 70 points. If there are no big surprises later, a typical movie only cares about the director's own ideas and ignores the audience. Sensory literary films, referred to as bad films or high-brow films!

Fortunately, a turning point followed. When the head of the prison really brought Yisheng in, a series of joyous episodes were staged in this small cell of less than 10 square meters.

The father-daughter relationship between Long Jiu and his daughter; the changes in the hearts of each of the other five people in the prison; the differences among the prisoners because Yisheng could not leave; in the end, he was moved by the innocent relationship between this fool and the girl.

It can be said that this half an hour has condensed most of the enthusiasm and energy of Li Menglong and the actors for this movie, because there is almost no other external force to rely on for this large part of the plot.

All the scenes are concentrated in this small room, and all the plots are driven by the emotional changes of these people: those who are selfish and timid and want to report, those who don't care about the excitement, those who take all risks but are fearless of……

This half hour was exciting, relaxing, and moving.

Although there is no strong sensation, the coldness of the prison itself and the collision of humanity among the prisoners are well shown, and it is still in a relatively relaxed way.

But all the audience did not forget that Long Jiu was still a murderer, but according to the routine, it must be with the help of everyone that Long Jiu began to work hard to clear the suspicion.

The facts also started according to everyone's ideas. With the help of the warden, the prisoners united together. In order to give this poor but touching father and daughter a chance to be together forever, everyone began to prepare to reverse the case.

In fact, the whole case does not stand up to scrutiny at all. If the father of the victim girl is not the police chief, and if Long Jiu is not a fool, this case will not stand at all.

So the following story began to become exciting, and all kinds of positive energy are unnecessary. If the story ends with Dragon Nine overturning the verdict in the last half hour, then this is a typical three-part movie.

At the beginning, the background of the story and the cause of the story are explained, and the interruption allows the story to be promoted with laughter.

Although the structure is classic, everyone feels that something is missing.

Fortunately, Li Menglong continued to bury a foreshadowing. This movie is not 90 minutes, but a full 120 minutes, so the movie has just been halfway through.When Long Jiu, with the help of everyone, memorized all the testimony to reverse the case for his daughter, it finally came to the day of the trial, and all the prisoners, the warden, including Yi Sheng, rushed over.

Many people in the audience are already getting dressed because the movie is coming to an end.

"May I ask if the defendant Li Longjiu killed..."

In an instant, Liu Chenglong really reached the peak of his acting skills. Although the audience didn't know what happened, everyone could see the reluctance in Long Jiu's eyes, the love for his daughter...

"Guess! I killed someone! Long Jiu killed someone!" The moment Long Jiu said this, Li Menglong switched the camera to everyone at the court trial: the surprised inmate, the heartbroken Yi Sheng, and the The bureau chief with the revengeful smile.

At this time, the camera began to reverse, and everyone finally knew that Long Jiu was threatened, but the conditions of the threat made people want to cry. The director just said softly: If you don't plead guilty, I will not let Yi win!
When the camera switched to the scene again, Long Jiu stood up excitedly. What he cares about now is not life or death, but struggling to look at the director: "Let Yisheng go! Let Yisheng go..."

The camera smoothly switched to the future, that is, the scene at the beginning of the movie. As a judge, Xu Xian stated the facts at that time and told everyone at the scene how much a great father would sacrifice for his daughter.

The scene of watching the movie has become a sea of ​​tears. When the emotion is pure to a certain extent, there is no limit, such as the greatness of father's love now.

Long Jiu sat blankly on the judgment seat and kept repeating: "Help Yisheng! I was wrong!"

And Xu Xian is the grown-up Yisheng. In the same trial court, he covered his father's ears: "You are not wrong, Dad! Yisheng is here to help you!"

Accompanying this scene in Xu Xian's imagination was the cold voice of the sentence: "Li Yongjiu, death penalty!"

It can be said that this is the biggest climax of the film. It took Li Menglong almost an hour and a half to lay the groundwork, and finally succeeded in making the audience cry, but everyone still has the last expectation. It should be a comedy, right?

Feeling Xu Xian's cold palm, Li Menglong smiled and covered it in his hand, but his hands were also full of sweat. This movie is a bit heavy for anyone, even Li Menglong who has watched it many times.

As for everyone's expectations, Li Menglong can only say sorry, because in the last half hour, it can be said that as long as the audience wants to cry, almost every minute is full of tears.

Knowing that he was going to die, Long Jiu made the last birthday present for Yisheng, stood on the hot air balloon made by everyone and said to his daughter: Don't forget today, and don't forget me!
He held a birthday party for his daughter in prison, and that day was the date of his execution...

Long Jiu held Yisheng's hand, and in the cell where most of the stories happened, he said thank you to the inmates in a somewhat dull manner, and the last goodbye, coupled with the background of about to step into the execution ground, was even more Reached the sublimation of human relationship.

At the end when he and Yisheng were separated by two doors, Longjiu was still the same as at the beginning of the film, saying goodbye to Yisheng with a smile, as if he was going to work, but he knew he would never come back, he is afraid...

"Help me! I didn't kill anyone! Yisheng..." Accompanied by the scene of Long Jiu hugging Yisheng through the iron gate, the camera cut to the scene of Xu Xian's trial.

"Li Longjiu is my father, a father who is like an angel, and he has a loving daughter, how could he..." After Xu Xian presented various evidences, she finally complained to the judge in front of her with tears.

When the judge finally said "withdraw Li Longjiu's death sentence", Xu Xian went limp to the ground, and at the same time opened the file in his hand. Inside, the separate file of Longjiu was clearly stamped: shot, To execute!
The screen turned again, and the first shot of Xu Xian standing in the snow appeared on the big screen, and when the camera started to zoom up, everyone could see clearly that this was the prison.

And the phantom of the yellow hot air balloon appeared in mid-air. Seeing the interaction between Long Jiu and Yisheng above, Xu Xian's eyes filled with tears again: "I haven't forgotten you, Dad..."

An ending that echoes from beginning to end, when Xu Xian said this sentence, the screen turned black, and then there was a line of words on the top - Director Li Menglong's work!

There is no relevant behind-the-scenes footage, just rows of cold words, even the lines of Li Menglong himself are the same except for the top row, as if to apply what Li Menglong said before, he just wanted to tell you a story story.

The audience at the scene were still in tears and fell into the aftertaste of the final ending. Although it was undoubtedly a tragic movie, everyone saw the purest emotion in it.

After the cast and crew had finished playing, and when the show ended, everyone started clapping their hands, and Li Menglong also stood up at this time.

He is the only one among the main creators who has watched the finished film completely, but he will still be moved by this movie, not to mention other actors who watched this movie for the first time.

A large group of gentlemen kept wiping their eyes with red eyes, and only Li Menglong was able to smile. The first thing he saw when he stood up was the girls in the row behind, crying like tears. Yes, very poor.

Then came the audience behind, those affirmative eyes made Li Menglong feel the joy of success, at least his works were recognized, and everyone felt the beauty of the script and the movie just like him.

It's just that rationality told him not to have too much expectations for the box office, because on Christmas, a happy day, is it a good thing to make the audience cry for more than half an hour?
Or an ordinary movie viewer, facing the different labels of these two movies, one is: blockbuster, big production, luxurious cast, perfect special effects, as for the average performance of the actors, the script is the same thing, but very refreshing .

The other one was made with a small budget, the actors were very good at acting, and had profound humanistic connotations. The first half was very funny, but the second half could make people cry for half an hour, very moving!

In the festival of Christmas, how will young people choose?It's a very simple decision that doesn't even require much thought. After all, you don't watch movies just to cry, do you?

Fortunately, Li Menglong is still open to watching this, and after today, this movie has nothing to do with him in essence, or he can't do anything more for this movie.

As for his personal next arrangements, Li Menglong is still looking forward to it: "Thank you everyone for crying with us. If you feel good, I can recommend it to your friends."

"I promise you not to recommend it tomorrow, after all, you have to be in a good mood at Christmas!" Li Menglong's understanding made everyone laugh while also hearing some helplessness.

However, although it is not suitable for Christmas, everyone wants to watch it again in a few days, because there are too many places in this movie that are worthy of aftertaste.
