China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 181 The momentum is huge, the internal injury is laughed out, the storm
The night before the official release of "Lost in Thailand".

Li Mu was lying on the bed, and the laptop in front of him displayed a post from "Liu Yifei Bar". At this time, Liu Yifei opened the door and came in, wearing a cotton bath towel around his body, and exuding a smell that Li Mu was very familiar with and liked. Obviously just got out of the shower.

"Recently, there seems to be a lot of netizens who are very dissatisfied with you on the post bar." Li Mu turned to Liu Yifei and said.

Liu Yifei came over and lay down next to Li Mu, and asked: "Is there anything, what did the netizens say? Do you think I'm fat again? It's all your fault, you have such a good appetite, and you keep greedy me for nothing."

Li Mu shook his head with a smile, and said in his heart: "The most important thing for a woman is her figure."

Liu Yifei glanced at the computer after complaining about Li Mu, and sure enough, there were many netizens complaining, so she read them one by one.

"I just found out today that "Lost in Thailand" actually has Sissy's scene, why didn't I see how to promote it before? I almost missed the idol's public screening tomorrow, damn it!"

"I only found out recently. At the beginning, I only knew that Sissy would be mentioned in the movie. Only recently did I know that Sissy will appear in person. Such a big event is not focused on publicity, and I don't know what the film crew thinks."

"Yifei's soy sauce, why does it look like it's floating in the water, why is Nima not moving at all? Is it because the fans have no money to buy tickets?"

"Isn't it good that the guest star didn't promote you as the protagonist? It's a scam if you have to be the protagonist to promote it."

"Yes, it should be said that this is quite kind."

"Quietly acted in another movie, but didn't tell the fans, it should be punished, and I will be fined to make two more movies this year, and three movies next year!"

"Come on, is this treating Sissi as a donkey for the production team? I guess Li Mu is definitely not willing to use Sissy like this."

"Tickets already bought, must see!"

"Watching the trailer is like wheat bran flakes, which is very suitable for my mother's appetite."

Liu Yifei opened his mouth and bit Li Mu's arm lightly, Li Mu pretended to yelp in pain, Liu Yifei immediately let go, then pouted and said, "Call me and lie to me."

……

On July 7, Friday, during the summer heat, "Lost in Thailand" was officially released nationwide.

Then the film went viral without any accumulation of word-of-mouth, low-cost counterattack, box office dark horse and other procedures. From the beginning of zero, the show was full, and the popularity even exceeded the previous most of most netizens and theater directors. good expectations.

Many netizens lamented on Weibo that they have waited in line for a long time but still haven't bought a ticket.

A Xijing netizen "I am a monkey" posted a photo of a movie theater that looked like a Spring Festival travel ticket office, and wrote: "This is not the ticket office for the Spring Festival travel festival, let alone the boarding point for the end of the world, this is just the ticket hall of a movie theater in Xijing. It is said that all major movie theaters in Xijing are so popular today, not just one star, it’s really scary.”

Netizen "Crazy Girl Who Loves to Sing" expressed that it is really difficult to watch a movie easily: "Today's weather is too hot, and I originally wanted to find a theater to watch "Tai囧" while blowing on the air conditioner, and have a nice time. It's a beautiful day, I didn't expect to buy a movie ticket for the latest time slot after changing several theaters, why is it so popular!"

A netizen named "Orange Cat Little Sister" complained on Weibo: "The Berna Cinema in Shanghai is so hot, we have been in line for an hour, there are still about [-] people in front, and the box office is sold out tomorrow night." , crazy crazy!"

Stars in the film and television industry have also joined the ranks of complaining.

At noon that day, Bai Bing posted a picture of himself queuing up to buy tickets on Weibo, with the caption: "Dream back to the beginning of the year, "Gravity" is back again. If I knew movie tickets were so hard to buy, I would have come earlier."

Yang Mi posted a picture of waiting for the film to start, and wrote: "Looking at Weibo, I found that tickets for "Lost in Thailand" are very difficult to buy. Many people queued for several hours, only to realize that they couldn't buy tickets to watch it. Time slot tickets. At this time, I have to strongly recommend "Maoyan Movie" under director Li Mu. Online ticket purchase, online seat selection, which time slot has tickets, which theater has tickets, all the information is clear at a glance, and you don't need to spend any more. Waste of time."

Fan Binbin also posted on Weibo: "You must watch Director Li's movie as soon as possible. Every time you watch it, you will gain a lot."

Zhang Ziyi wrote: "Knowing that "Lost in Thailand" will be very popular, so I chose to watch it on Friday. The assistant said that there was a long queue when buying tickets. At first, I thought it was an exaggeration of the assistant. What the assistant said is even more exaggerated."

Cheng Long also posted on Weibo in the morning to talk about the popularity of theaters: "Today, many friends are talking about the popularity of the release of "Lost in Thailand", and everyone thinks it is very incredible. Some friends said that if "The Hunger Games" was so popular, I would It’s not surprising that the movie cost $7000 million and was directed by Li Mu himself and starring Liu Yifei.”

"He wouldn't be surprised if "The Martian" is so popular. The investment of that movie is 1 million US dollars, and it's directed by Li Mu himself, with Jiang Wen and Gong Li as the leading roles."

"But now he is very surprised that "Lost in Thailand" is so popular. The total investment of this film is only 2000 million yuan, and it is not directed by Li Mu himself. How can it be so popular? After hearing it, I am not surprised at all, because The word 'Li Mu' has never disappointed the audience, and the popularity of "Lost in Thailand" is the audience's feedback to Li Mu's seriousness in making movies before."

"I have been making movies for 50 years. I have witnessed many miracles and created many miracles. As a senior today, the happiest thing is to see Chinese-language filmmakers continue to make movies that audiences really like! Come on everyone!"

Media from all over the country interviewed the person in charge of the cinema. Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of Yangcheng International Cinemas, told the reporter: "Even the latest show of "Lost in Thailand" is fully sold out. Tickets for that day are absolutely impossible to buy. If you want to see this Buy tickets at least one day in advance."

The person in charge of Wanda Cinemas revealed, "The cinema has vacated 6 halls for "Lost in Thailand", and the venues are full."

Gao Jun, CEO of New Film Federation Cinemas, said frankly: "Actually, the production of "Lost in Thailand" is not perfect, and there is still a big gap compared with the sci-fi blockbusters directed by Director Li Mu himself, but the audience, especially the young audience, is very satisfied. Looking forward to a good comedy. The script written by director Li Mu before has received good responses, and has already formed a good reputation among young audiences. With the previous accumulation, this is how "Lost in Thailand" explodes today."

A netizen on "Movie Box Office" posted: "There are too many people, and there are much more security guards. It's still a small theater. The "Great Earthquake" half a month ago was also popular, but it hasn't reached the level of "Lost in Thailand" , and experts predict that the box office of "The Great Earthquake" will exceed 8 million, so how much box office can "Lost in Thailand" get?"

Shen Teng, Bao Qiang, and Huang Bo are following director Shen Junsheng to run a road show at this time. Looking at the crowds of people in the major theaters, and thinking about the overwhelming hot comments on the Internet, they are a little scared.

It’s not that you haven’t thought that "囧太囧" can become popular, but judging from this posture, it is no longer a question of whether it can be popular. It seems that this was not the case when "Taken 2" and "Apocalypse" were released last year, right? "

At this time, everyone worried that the current explosion was just a flash in the pan.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

In the ticketing hall of a movie theater in Xijing City, the long line of ticket buyers has extended to the food stalls opposite. The scene is noisy, and many people are complaining impatiently.

Li Xiujie and Zhang Leyu were sitting next to each other in the rest area, and there was a glass of Coke with ice in front of them, and the two of them drank the Coke through straws and each made a sound similar to gurgling.

"A lot of people on Weibo are saying that "Tai囧" is very popular. I thought it was the film's marketing, but I didn't expect it to be so popular." Li Xiujie said at this time.

Zhang Leyu took another sip, and then replied: "Many celebrities have posted news about buying tickets or watching movies. I can only say that Li Mu's face is really great."

Li Xiujie said: "Stars are good at it. What if one day director Li Mu happened to have a movie that hadn't confirmed the actors, and then just thought about the interaction of these stars today, maybe the role turned out to be yours. Post a Weibo It has a sense of presence, and the price/performance ratio is absolutely great value!"

Both Li Xiujie and Zhang Leyu are fans of Li Mu, to be precise, fans of Li Mu's blockbuster sci-fi movies, especially the two movies "Inception" and "Gravity", they are like gods in their hearts .

As for the series of comedy movies written by Li Mu himself and directed by Shen Junsheng, they are not so important in their hearts.

It is a good movie, yes, but a good movie of this level, to be honest, I feel that many directors at home and abroad can also make it.

But when it comes to sci-fi blockbusters with an investment of about [-] million US dollars, Li Mu is really the only director in China who can shoot them.

Therefore, in the eyes of the two of them, making Li Mu's film company more money is even related to the future of the entire Chinese film industry!

Because only Li Mu's movies make a lot of money, Li Mu has more motivation to continue making big-investment sci-fi movies.

To be honest, movies like "Lost in Thailand" were originally optional, or to put it more bluntly, wouldn't it be nice to download a free version online after a while?

But it really can't do this for the films of Li Mu's company!
If a director like Li Mu and a company like Huashang Media don't make money, then it's right that Chinese movies can't get started, and Chinese audiences don't have good Chinese movies to watch!
After 10 minutes, the ticket inspection officially began.

Together with other waiting audiences, the two entered Auditorium No. 3 on the right.

At the beginning of the movie, Xu Lang, played by Shen Teng, was doing an oil tyrant experiment, and then many audiences in the theater laughed directly, not the kind of loud laughter, but the kind of smile with the corners of the mouth slightly turned up.

In short, everyone thought it was very funny when they saw Shen Teng doing the experiment in a serious manner.At this time, Shen Teng has acted in three films successively, including "The Master of Hypnotism", "The Way to Steal the Key", and "On the Journey". increasingly recognized by the audience.

Many netizens said that Shen Teng is very funny when he is funny, but he can laugh to death when he is serious!
The pace of the movie is very fast, and the basic character relationships and main contradictions of the movie are clearly explained in the first three to five minutes.

The conflict between Xu Lang and his wife, who is divorcing him, and he has been avoiding it.

The contradiction between Xu Lang and Gao Bo played by Huang Bo, the venture capital they both negotiated privately, and they are also trying their best to find another key figure in the company, Lao Zhou, both of them want to completely Get rid of each other.

Then set off, destination Thailand!

On the plane, Xu Lang and Wang Bao met by fate. This time Wang Baoqiang played by Wang Baoqiang is still a "silly root" character, but this "silly root" is quite new compared to before. The "washing, cutting and blowing" pot-covered blond hair made the audience shine.

Since Wang Bao appeared on the stage, the jokes in the movie suddenly became denser.First, the contents of the phone calls between the two were ingeniously related, then Wang Bao's cactus pierced Xu Lang, and finally Wang Bao simply let Xu Lang interfere with one of Xu Lang's most important text messages.

When the plane was about to land, the stewardess sent an entry form to each passenger. Wang Bao asked Xu Lang to help him fill it out, and then he took out his wish list for this trip to Thailand.

"First I'm going to the Taj Mahal, and then—"

Xu Lang turned to look at Wang Bao: "Hey, big brother, the Taj Mahal is in India!"

Wang Bao: "Ah? Then...forget it, this plan is cancelled."

There was bursts of laughter instantly in the theater, and some audience members even slapped their thighs hard while laughing.

Some viewers whispered: "I'll go! I didn't realize it when I watched it. It turns out that the Taj Mahal is in India!"

Doing SPA, riding an elephant, swimming, praying to Buddha, challenging Muay Thai masters, planting health trees, Wang Bao has too many wish lists, which made Xu Lang tired of listening, so he concluded directly: "It's just travel."

Wang Bao immediately added: "I still want to watch the shemale!"

Then he handed Xu Lang a stack of photos of transvestites, Xu Lang took over and looked at two of them, and then asked, "Is this a transvestite?"

Wang Bao took a look: "This is not, this is my girlfriend."

Xu Lang: "This is your girlfriend?!"

Wang Bao looked serious: "Yes!"

Xu Lang picked up the photo: "This is Liu Yifei!"

At this time, the audience's emotions were immediately mobilized, and then Wang Bao actually said seriously: "Yes, Liu Yifei is my girlfriend!"

Boom.

In an instant, the most enthusiastic laughter so far tonight resounded in the theater, and many audience members even burst into tears.

Some people simply laugh up and down, and some even laugh until their stomach hurts and they need to cover it with their hands.

"Hahaha……"

"Just these few lines should give Sissi the salary of the heroine, it's a stroke of genius!"

"It's good-looking, and it feels much denser than the first film."

"Bao Qiang is too funny, I feel that this time the character design is even more brilliant."

"Shen Tengjia and Wang Baoqiang, this combination is absolutely perfect!"

When he came to Chiang Mai, Wang Bao accidentally discovered that there were "secret agents" at the airport, and Xu Lang discovered that his mobile phone had been tracked by Gao Bo.He wanted to get rid of Gao Bo, so he secretly put the mobile phone in Wang Bao's bag, and promised very perfunctorily that he would definitely eat the scallion pancakes he made next time he was in Beijing.

When the two were parting, Wang Bao suddenly revealed a big secret of his very embarrassedly. He and Xu Lang are already friends now, and if they are friends, they should not lie to him.

"I'm sorry, brother, I lied to you just now, in fact, Liu Yifei is not my girlfriend yet."

"Okay, I get it, have a nice trip, goodbye and goodbye!"

"My mother likes Liu Yifei, she is 'Yijia'"

In an instant, the theater burst into laughter again.

The audience watched Wang Bao's sense of self-blame for cheating, and watched him seriously explain that Liu Yifei was not his girlfriend, and the audience couldn't hold back anymore.

The audience laughed loudly from almost every corner of the theater. Some audience members even spit out the popcorn they had just stuffed into their mouths, while others coughed uncontrollably.

Especially since everyone knows that Liu Yifei in reality is actually Li Mu's girlfriend, which makes this joke even more interesting.

Then Xu Lang was as unlucky as ever, lost his passport in the car, and obviously gave Wang Bao the mobile phone with the tracker installed, but Gao Bo still chased him nearby.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Bao appeared next to Xu Lang again. It turned out that he was the one who sent Xu Lang's cell phone back.

Seeing Wang Bao boasting loudly that he had returned Xu Lang's cell phone, Xu Lang suddenly had a defecation expression on his face, but the audience looked very happy.

The lines of the two were extremely funny, Wang Bao said "my mother said" one by one, Xu Lang played Solitaire with him, and finally said the classic line: "I found that you are a wonderful flower! "

Almost every line in the movie is a joke. Xu Lang said that you are out of your mind, and Wang Bao exaggeratedly said that you "how did you know!"

Almost every moment in the theater, the audience laughed uncontrollably.

Xu Lang really couldn't bear Wang Bao's wonderful flower, but he lost his passport and couldn't move an inch, and Wang Bao forgot to bring his wallet and couldn't even pay the fare, so the two hit it off and formed a new group called "Thailand Legend".

Xu Lang heard that Wang Bao's scallion pancakes could sell [-] pieces a day, so he immediately planned a plan to make the scallion pancakes bigger and stronger. It was a franchise fee and a chain store, with a net profit of [-] million yuan a year, not even out. It will be listed in two years, and every time Xu Lang mentions a plan, Wang Bao agrees and says "Yes!".

In the end, Xu Lang simply wanted to buy Wang Bao's scallion pancake recipe, but Wang Bao still agreed, but Wang Bao's next sentence almost didn't make the audience die of laughter.

"My formula is that I have to do it myself, I can't invite people, I can't freeze it, it must be freshly baked."

When returning to the hotel, a sexy Thai beauty thanked Xu Lang for helping to hold down the elevator, and then Wang Bao's coquettish manipulation came again, and he asked Xu Lang unabashedly in front of the Thai beauty:
"Are you saying this person is a shemale?"

Following Xu Lang's gaze, the camera slowly moved up from the beauty's legs until it captured the perfect woman's whole body.

Only then did Xu Lang reply: "Let me tell you, all the beauties you saw in Thailand are transvestites."

Wang Baodao: "Do you dare to bet?"

Xu Lang: "Is there anything I dare not, do you dare to ask?"

Wang Bao: "Do you dare?"

Xu Lang: "I dare, do you dare?"

Wang Bao: "I dare."

Xu Lang: "Ask!"

Wang Bao really reached out to say hello to the beauty, but the beauty answered the phone at this time: "Hey, I'm in the elevator, there are two idiots in the elevator!"

Wang Bao and Xu Lang were dumbfounded, and the audience was also dumbfounded.

It turns out that this Thai beauty can speak Chinese!

And—they can speak Mandarin better than most Chinese ordinary people in China!

"Hahaha……"

"No, no, no, I'm laughing to death!"

"Awesome, absolutely!"

"Two dudes, hahaha!"

"This one should be with the two ladyboys outside just now, so this is the story of three ladyboys and two cunts?"

"Is this TM a plot conceived by carbon-based creatures? My stomach hurts from laughing!"

……

It’s really full of laughter, no one is afraid of disturbing others, everyone is laughing, who are you afraid of disturbing?
It's weirdest if you don't smile!

Some people lost the gum in their mouths from laughing, some buried their heads in the arms of their companions and then trembled violently, as if they had convulsed from laughing, some managed to stop laughing, but Within a few seconds, he ended up laughing like a psycho again.

Hold back for a while, laugh for a while, hold back for a while, and laugh again after a while.

To be honest, it's been a long time since you have seen such a funny movie.

　Thanks to "Buckwheat You Zhou" for the reward.
