Chapter 133 Premiere of "The Prestige"

The story is not over yet, the plot then flashed back, Ah Hao transported the machine back to Shang Hai, found Lao Bai, and performed on stage again.

Now it was Ajie's turn to be confused, and he couldn't figure out what the magic technique Ahao performed was.

Also because of his obsession, his wife Yufen committed suicide, and his assistant Diana left a sentence: "You are a devil..." and told him that Ahao had returned and brought even greater magic, and then left Ajie.

The one who stays with Ajie is the prop master Amo.

Next, the film resumes the beginning. In order to find out, Ajie watched Ahao's magic show, broke into the backstage, found Ahao who fell into the water tank, and tried to rescue him but failed.

"Looks like this, Ahao is so ruthless. In order to get revenge on Ajie, he didn't hesitate to die with Ajie at the expense of himself." The fairy sister's mind followed the plot at high speed and never stopped.

"Do you really think Ah Hao is dead? Think about that machine carefully," Da Mimi reminded.

"What?" Sister Immortal recalled, and suddenly realized: "You mean, Ah Hao is not dead?"

"Hush, keep your voice down..." Da Mimi saw that everyone around her was looking over, and quickly covered the mouth of the fairy sister.

In fact, it's not just the fairy sister, following the brain-burning plot, the audience who watched the movie never stopped their own analysis.

And as the film laid out the foreshadowing bit by bit, and then recovered the foreshadowing, the pleasure of solving puzzles made the audience want to stop.

When the plot of the film progresses to the end, the soul is greatly satisfied.

This is the attraction of this movie. You need to follow the plot to guess, but it doesn't feel boring, but exciting.

At the end of the movie, Ajie, who was in prison, saw the rich man, who turned out to be the dead Ahao. It turned out that he was not dead.

When Ah Hao appeared, all the audience, media reporters, and guests in the theater all let out an exclamation.

"It turns out that Ah Hao didn't die. How did he survive?"

"Yeah, what's going on here?"

"It's too brain-burning, my brain is not enough."

Although it was the premiere scene, everyone couldn't help talking about it, and they couldn't even take care of the etiquette of the premiere.

In the film, Ajie was also shocked. After the shock, he was worried that Ahao would be unfavorable to his daughter, so he stopped insisting and wanted to hand over the secret of his transformation.

But Ahao, who had finished his revenge, didn't care, and tore up all Ajie's magic secrets.

After that, Ajie's magician Amo came to visit the prison, and the two had a last conversation.

Ajie said: "You are right, I shouldn't provoke him, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Yufen, promise me, live a good life, and live with my share."

With the back of Ajie going away, a red magic ball was thrown into Amo's hand.

Amo also uttered his only line: "Goodbye..."

Generally speaking, the movie is almost done here, the puzzle has been solved, Ahao has completed his revenge, and Ajie is waiting for death.

Feng Dapao was ready to applaud when he saw this, congratulating Zhang Hao for making such a wonderful movie.

But the plot that happened afterwards told Feng Dapao that everything was not over.

When Laobai saw Ahao who had come back from the dead, and Ajie's daughter, he instantly understood that he had been used and became a tool to frame Ajie.

Lao Bai wanted to get rid of those magic props, and Ah Hao agreed.

At the same time, Ajie who was executed said an inexplicable sentence, which was exactly the sentence at the beginning: "Are you watching carefully?"

Laobai and Ahao confessed the feeling of drowning, Ahao said: "Didn't you say that you feel like going home?"

"No," Lao Bai shook his head and said, "That kind of death is very painful."

After disposing of the props, Lao Bai left. On the way out, he met a person, and both sides nodded.

In the small theater, Ah Hao held a kerosene lamp, and a magic ball bounced on the ground.

Ah Hao took the ball, and suddenly a gunshot hit him in the chest.

Footsteps sounded, and a man appeared from the darkness and took off his hat. Ah Hao looked at him in surprise. It turned out that it was A Jie who had been executed.

This is really a reversal of reversals. Even though her mind is already running at high speed, Sister Shenxian is completely dizzy now.

Not to mention the fairy sister, even Da Mimi, who has read the script, is already dumbfounded.

The leading actors sitting in the front row, especially Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao, suddenly realized at this time that this was the way they filmed this plot.

The national teacher and Ni Ni were also stupid. The national teacher guessed several endings, various tactics and motives, but none of them matched.

This is suspense, this is mind-burning. In contrast, his "Three Shots Surprise" is a child who hasn't grown up.

Boss Wang and Boss Wang are also confused. Logically speaking, on such occasions, the two of them would generally not indulge in movies.

But this film seems to have a kind of evil magic power, which firmly catches the eyes of the two, and they can't move away.

Lao Hu and Liu Shishi looked at this movie, their eyes sparkled, and what Lao Hu thought was that such a movie is considered a movie.

And Liu Shishi admired Zhang Hao's talent very much, and also envied Da Mi Mi, who was able to find such a talented director as her boyfriend.

At the end of the film, everyone's curiosity is like a cat scratching.

And the movie didn't play any tricks anymore, and solved all the mysteries.

It turns out that Ajie and Amo are twin brothers.What Lao Bai said is right, they use doubles to complete the magic of changing shape and changing shadow.

Ah Hao didn't believe it, because the magicians wanted to receive applause and cheers from the audience in front of the stage, how did they manage to avoid internal strife and quarrels.

Ajie confuses Ahao. It turns out that Ajie, who is one of them for a day, each owns half of the other's life.

This is Ajie's realization of the law of becoming famous. If he wants to succeed, he must make huge sacrifices.

Ah Hao said: "Do you think I didn't sacrifice?"

Then Ahao also revealed his secret. It turned out that the machine he used for performance was a clone machine, and he killed his clone during the first experiment.

So every time he performs, Ahao is actually cloning himself.

Every time he walked into the machine, he felt uneasy, because of the uncertainty of science, he didn't know whether he would appear miraculously or disappear forever.

After telling the secret, Ah Hao bled to death, and the kerosene lamp was broken, igniting this small theater full of secrets.

From Amo to Ajie, Ajie took back his daughter, which is his own flesh and blood.

It's a game with no winners, with lives lost, families lost, and stunts of fame that can never be performed.

When the subtitles at the end of the movie appeared, a few words about director Zhang Hao's work appeared, and the lights in the theater were turned on, all the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally over, this is a movie that burned a lot of brain cells.

Then, all the audience applauded spontaneously. This is the etiquette of the premiere, and applause should be given after the movie is over.

In the past, the applause was formulaic, somewhat hypocritical.

But in the applause this time, there was a little more relief and a little more sincerity.

There is no doubt that "The Prestige" is a good movie, which keeps the audience following the plot in a high-speed state, and can't help but applaud the wonderful plot of the film.

In fact, movies like "The Prestige" can be regarded as very selective audience movies. If you like it, you will watch it repeatedly. If you don't want to be so tired, you probably won't watch it after watching it once.

What Zhang Hao did well is that, like Nolan, he made such brain-burning movies thrilling and exciting, with ups and downs in the plot, so that audiences who don't want to think can watch it very well.

If the filming method of "Mulan Hedao" is followed, it is estimated that not many audiences will like it.

At the end of the movie, Zhang Hao led all the main creators of the movie to the stage for a curtain call.

The applause continued for a long time, and the applause gradually stopped after the creators of "The Prestige" bowed three times.

"Do you like this movie?" Zhang Hao asked.

"I like it," the audience responded very cooperatively.

"Then do you understand?" Zhang Hao asked badly.

The answers from the audience were mixed, some said they understood it, and some said they didn't understand it.

After that, Zhang Hao and the main creators shared some interesting stories during the filming process, and then it was the reporter's questioning session.

"Deng Chao, you starred in this movie. During watching, did you understand this movie?" A reporter couldn't understand, so he pointed the finger at the leading actors and asked them if they could understand.

Deng Chao's answer was very humorous: "To be honest, when I first got the script, I thought I understood it, but halfway through the filming, I realized that I actually didn't understand anything.

As the filming progressed, I became more and more confused, and wanted to ask the director what kind of story we were filming. "

The audience in the audience laughed softly, and Deng Chao continued: "Until I saw the finished film today, I think I understand half of it. There are still many details. I will watch it several times."

Huang Xiaoming also said: "My feelings are similar to those of Deng Chao. There are many details in this film, and everyone needs to watch it several times."

Teacher Li Xuejian, Xu Qing and Yu Feihong all shared their thoughts.

Yu Feihong also teased Zhang Hao: "In the future, if Director Zhang has a similar script, I will never accept it again. It's too brain-intensive for me to understand."

A celebrity guest who came from the audience complained in his heart: Then why don't you pick it up, give us a chance, okay?

Then a reporter asked Zhang Hao: "Director Zhang, what expectations do you have for this movie's box office?"

If Feng Dapao were to talk about it, he would probably shout as loudly as possible, but Zhang Hao was still quite modest: "I hope the box office can exceed [-] million, and I will be very satisfied."

"Don't worry, such a wonderful film must exceed [-] million yuan." Da Mimi did not come on stage, but held the arm of the fairy sister, and supported Zhang Hao in the audience.

After the interview, it was time to sign autographs and take photos.

The national teacher specifically found Zhang Hao and said: "I watched the movie carefully, it is very exciting, Xiao Zhang, how about writing a similar script for me next time when you have time?"

"Is it also a suspense type?" Zhang Hao asked.

"That's right," said the national teacher, "I'm very interested in this type of movie, and I've made one before, but..."

The national teacher hadn't finished speaking, but Zhang Hao knew what it meant. That movie was scolded a lot, even the national teacher was scolded by the audience for fooling the audience.

In the future, the National Teacher will have a similar theme, so Zhang Hao said: "How about "Manjianghong"?"

""Man Jianghong"?"

Everyone knows that "Manjianghong" is Yue Fei's poems, so the national teacher said with a smile: "That's good, I'll wait for your "Manjianghong" script."

"Man Jianghong", the highest-grossing movie of the future Guoshi, also brought him a lot of controversy.

In fact, it makes sense, if there is no "Wandering Earth 2", "Man Jianghong" is actually a pretty good movie.

At least compared to movies like "No Name", "Man Jianghong" is still much better.

Of course, it would be nice if there weren't as many disgusting things from the producers.It was only thanks to the producer that Qin Hui's surroundings could be figured out, which is simply ridiculous.

There is no doubt that this is a successful film premiere.

Afterwards, there will be a reception reception for the celebrity guests who came to join us.

At the reception, the fairy sister turned into a curious baby, chasing Zhang Hao and asking about various details in the movie.

"Director Zhang, I don't understand. Does Ah Hao's machine kill a copy every time it performs? Is the main body alive or not?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Hao asked back.

Sister Fairy expressed her guess: "I think the main body is already drowned, and the clone appears to win applause, and the next performance, the next clone dies, and the next clone appears to get cheers and applause.

This cycle goes on and on, like drawing paper. "

Da Mi Mi nodded at the side and said: "Yes, Yifei and I have discussed it for a long time, this is an idea that we both agree with, I don't know if it is right?"

"Do you think it's right?" Zhang Hao then asked back.

"Uh," the two women looked at each other, nodded firmly at the same time, "We both think it's right."

"Okay then," Zhang Hao put down the wine glass in his hand, and explained to the two women: "According to your guess, this requires all the clones to have a common goal and the awareness to die. It is very difficult to go up.

Even if the clone inherits the memory and personality of the main body, it is very common to want to die today and not want to die tomorrow.

In addition, have you noticed that Ah Hao fell into the water tank and looked for the exit in a panic, he is not a person who is ready to die. "

Zhang Hao's explanation shocked the fairy sister who was already confident in her guess, and she was even more curious about what was going on in the plot.

So he hurriedly asked Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao said: "If you want to know, read it a few more times!"

"Then, can I communicate with you about the plot I guessed?" Sister Shenxian asked expectantly.

"Of course." Zhang Hao nodded.

So, in front of Da Mimi, Zhang Hao and Sister Shenxian exchanged contact information logically.

According to Da Mimi, it is impossible for the fairy sister to fall in love with Zhang Hao. Although the contact information has been exchanged, Da Mimi is still at ease.

She was worried about Sister Shenxian, even if Zhang Hao had such thoughts, Sister Shenxian would not agree.

After the premiere, the media participating in the premiere sent out their first film reviews, including interviews with the main creator of the film and their feelings about watching the film.

"There is no doubt that Zhang Hao has once again demonstrated his ingenuity. He seems to have devoted his entire life to creating movies, thus giving us an ultimate brain-burning feast.

You have to go to the cinema to experience this movie, try the taste of brain cells burning wildly, "The Prestige" is a good movie. "—"Penguin Entertainment"

"This film can be regarded as another representative work of Zhang Hao. As a commercial masterpiece, "The Prestige" embodies Zhang Hao's directing style in this film. The protagonist's inner world.

The central theme of the metaphor film alludes to the same motif - paranoia, uniqueness, and lonely revenge.

The film tells the story of two extremely talented young magicians, Ajie and Ahao, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China when magic entered China.

The two are both magic apprentices, but because of jealousy, suspicion, and hatred, they face each other in fierce competitions, and finally usher in the self-sacrifice and self-destruction behind the ultimate desire.

The film is worth watching repeatedly, and the audience can reap the thrill of solving puzzles as the plot develops. It is recommended that everyone watch the film at least twice, and you will gain a lot. "—"Sohu News"

"The bold and avant-garde creative form of "The Prestige", the smooth and compact narrative style, and the perfect fusion of flashback and sequence, brought the audience into the polyphonic narrative maze of director Zhang Hao.

In the film, Director Zhang Hao conducted a deep exploration of the desires of human nature, focusing on the excavation of the spiritual level of the characters, and using various metaphors to hint at the living conditions and fate changes of the characters in a specific era.

In the tortuous and bizarre plot design and the ups and downs of fate, the audience sees individuals who are obsessed with desires to the point of distortion, conflicts and confrontations between people, and the loss of human subjectivity under the machinery.

Surprisingly, the setting of two male protagonists, Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming's wonderful performances make people want to stop.

The glamorous magic assistants, Yu Feihong and Xu Qing, can't see the slightest trace of time under the lens of director Zhang Hao, and they are still graceful. "-"SINA entertainment"

With the release of the film's premiere review, many fans who are interested in this film, Zhang Hao's fans, or fans of several leading actors have expectations for this film.

Don't have to wait too long, though, because The Prestige kicks off Field Zero.

Luo Dongrui and Xiang Andong, who have been in love with Zhang Hao's movies since "Genius Gunner", naturally bought the zero point show and rushed to a nearby cinema to watch it.

By the way, the two bought movie tickets on a ticket buying website under Meituan.

After Zhang Hao invested in Meituan, he attended several shareholder meetings. Meituan President Wang Xing asked Zhang Hao for his opinion on the development of Meituan.

Since he is in the business of movies, Zhang Hao naturally proposed a business related to movies, which is an online ticketing website.

With the popularity of smartphones, many APPs have landed on smartphones, and Meituan is no exception. It merged with Dianping and landed on Android and Apple platforms together.

After hearing Zhang Hao's idea, Wang Xing developed this online ticketing system immediately, and with Zhang Hao's matchmaking, he reached a cooperation with China Film Cinemas.

Afterwards, it successively reached cooperation with Wanda Cinemas and Poly Cinemas. Today, the ticketing website under Meituan has grown vigorously, and Zhang Hao named it Maoyan Movies.

Meituan continued to raise funds. Although the subsequent investment amount was too large, Zhang Hao did not follow suit, but with the angel round investment, he is still one of the major shareholders of Meituan.

Also because of his status as a shareholder, in this year's Hurun Celebrity List, Zhang Hao's net worth is estimated at 2.5 million.

The main components of this are the shares of Meituan, Haotian Studio owned by him, and shares of some advertising companies.

As for Tiangong Yicai Studio, it is still negative equity for Zhang Hao.

Although it has taken on a lot of work, in order to do the work well, Tiangong Yicai has been burning money continuously and has been in a state of loss.

At the same price, large domestic projects are more willing to find Japanese and Korean special effects companies, so that Tiangong Yicai Studio has to take over the work at the price of domestic special effects studios.

Ultra-low price, to produce first-class special effects, certainly cannot make ends meet.

However, there is no way to do this. In order to train the talent team and polish the skills, these are all things that must be done.

Zhang Hao has not given up on investment, and has continued to invest money in the studio, but if "Fatal Magic" hits the box office, I am afraid that Tiangong Yicai Studio will have to find new investors.
