Chapter 1299 Who is insisting on entertaining himself in the age of entertaining to death?
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
Under the dim light, a man with beard, greasy hair and glasses walked into the screening room through the back door.

Leonard Modine pushed his glasses, chose a seat in the back row that received little attention, and at the same time spread a notepad on his lap, unscrewed the cap of the pen and placed it in the middle of the hinge, with great interest Looking at the eyes.

There were quite a few people sitting in the screening hall, about 3/5 of it was full.
It seems that the film of this Chinese director has indeed attracted the attention of many people.

Of course, that's fine too.

After all, two consecutive films have sold well at the box office.

Leonard Modine heard two people in the front row discussing "John Woo" in low voices.He knew these two people, the head of Universal's distribution department in New York and the producer under Columbia (Sony).

From their conversations, it can be heard that they have done relevant research and understanding on "John Woo".

Thinking of this, the corners of Leonard Modine's mouth twitched.

A director who can make money and express himself in his work is obviously very popular in today's Hollywood...

However, I heard that this movie is a 'localized' work. I wonder if this Chinese boy will prove his magic power again?

The lights dimmed and the screen lit up.

Da da, da da da, da da da...

The sound of a typewriter is rendered in the dark, and a conceptual passage explaining 'Pulp Fiction' appears on the screen.

"Forget it, it's too dangerous, I won't do it."

The picture is dark, and there is the sound of a lighter in the sound montage.

"You keep saying the same excuse every time." A different female voice appeared, "It's too dangerous~ I'm quitting~ It's the same every time."

The screen gradually brightens.

A car was driven by a bald man and passed quickly in front of the camera. The camera gradually zoomed in, and a man and a woman were vaguely seen sitting by the window of a fast food restaurant through the sunshade.

"Although I say that every time, I never say it wrong." Suddenly, a waitress opened the sunshade, and the camera became a medium shot, framing the scene from the fast food restaurant like a mirror image.

Seeing this, Leonard Modine nodded slightly.

Very clever transition should be.

On the right side of the screen, Zhou Runfa, wearing a floral shirt and jeans, is sitting on a bench slouchingly, with one leg leaning lazily on the seat, with one hand on the dining table and the other on the back of the chair.

On the left, Uma Thurman, wearing a red wig and wearing a nose ring, grinned at the other party.

"In two days you will forget."—"My forgetful days are over."

The two chattered like the most ordinary couples, arguing between husband and wife over a trivial matter, and there was a vaguely noisy background sound in the background, they were just like two ordinary couples doing daily chores Same with dialogue.

Every man who has a family has experienced this kind of thing.

Just when the audience was a little confused...

Some people reacted.

The two were actually discussing robbing a bank in a serious manner.

"It's easy to rob a bank, the Commonwealth Bank is easier, you can wear a trench coat and carry two pistols. They're insured, they're not afraid of robbery. Like church doves."

"Then why don't you release some white pigeons when you're robbing a bank?"

"Because church doves don't kiss black."

Many people feel the "paradoxical" temperament of this movie. This style is very similar to the scene in the tavern of the popular western in the 60s, but it has a sense of absurdity.

In particular, the two discussed robbing the bank in public, and even discussed how to rob it easier. What's even more absurd is that the two are as easy as discussing the neighbor's newly mowed lawn.

"Brother's coffee!" The idyllic Fa Ge raised his hand to beckon the waiter.

"I'm a little girl." The waiter emphasized while pouring coffee.

The two looked sideways at the waiter leaving, and Uma Thurman leaned over, "Are you going to rob the coffee shop?"

"No one has robbed a coffee shop, but why not? There are security guards in other places, but not here. You haven't seen bodyguards in a coffee shop, have you?" Zhou Runfa explained seriously.

"No one in this place is going to be a hero." Uma Thurman, who had been persuaded, showed an unexpected smile on his face.

Many audience members in the cinema hall looked at the screen in astonishment and anticipation, and couldn't help showing expressions of wanting to laugh.

Watching a pair of mandarin duck thieves discussing the robbery of the coffee restaurant in front of them.

The robber man played by Zhou Runfa has vivid and exaggerated expressions and exaggerated body language, which attracts the attention of the audience.

The two are indeed activists.

Zhou Runfa also took out a revolver.

The audience watched the two people talking more and more absurd actions, and some people even got goosebumps.

Wow!

This is downright cool!

Uma Thurman and Zhou Run sent a deep kiss.

"I love you little pumpkin." "I love you little bunny."

The eruption of your love for me is so absurd that the robbery is about to be staged. This kind of neurotic plot extension makes many people have a kind of excitement and anticipation.

This kind of chatterbox with a paradoxical temperament is so unique!
Then--

Change in style!

The two stood up nervously and really started to "control the field" to rob! ! !
As the two people pulled out their pistols with exaggerated roars, the movie also resounded with rhythmic and dynamic music... "Pumpkin And Honey Bunny".

Electric guitars and drums bring the whole movie to life.

The official 'end credits' subtitles begin to appear.

at the same time--

A very shoddy and frivolous title has been called out for a long time anyway-Pulp Fiction.

The movie was 'over' as soon as it came up, and the rest turned out to be 'easter eggs', and the exposed end credits made them smile knowingly.

Swish.

Leonard Modine simply jotted down a few lines of words with a pen in his hand - a brilliant soundtrack!

This kind of beginning combined with this kind of music gave him an interest in watching it.

The soundtrack of the movie was all decided by Wu Xiaozu and Quentin together.It has to be said that although it was a few years earlier, Quentin's sense of smell and aesthetics for soundtracks are still at the top level.

It is worthy of being one of his magic weapons in later generations.

The subtitles faded at the end of the credits, and the sound of electric current from the radio station resounded, and then the picture changed suddenly——

Enter Higham, close up.

Wearing a white collar in a black suit similar to a missionary, with a triangular Eldredge knot on his tie, Nicolas Cage, who is complicated and has a very different temperament, has a big back and long hair and is driving a car in a serious manner and with an afro. Samuel L. Jackson told boring stories.

Many viewers listened to this long talk.

Some people frowned slightly.

Some people are very interested.

Not everyone likes this kind of lengthy chat.

However, the next shot made many people who understand movies sit up straight——

Wu Xiaozu's bolder one-shot design here than in his previous life is directly presented to the eyes of film critics.

The light, color, scheduling, and rhythm are all displayed in front of their eyes like a textbook. This kind of skill is astounding, but it also arouses different interests.

This set of long shots with one shot to the end directly opened up the compelling style of the film.

Of course, there are still people who don't understand what Wu Xiaozu is going to say......
