superstar director

Chapter 606
And with the exposure of the theme song of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the publicity campaign of the entire crew reached its peak, and Ning Sheng couldn't stay at home anymore. He brought the two main characters to the show and did interviews, but this time There is no premiere ceremony, just prepare for the direct release when the time comes!Anyway, in Ning Sheng's opinion, apart from "Van Helsing", none of the movies currently released can compete with his "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

July 26st!

The hot summer comes on time, and the scorching sun during the day makes people not want to go out, but when night falls, the evening wind blows, and the coolness attracts countless people to the streets, starting the urban nightlife!

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Most of the pedestrians on the side of the road are dressed coolly, and from time to time there will be beauties in sexy outfits such as hot pants and suspenders to make passersby look sideways. At this time, the entrances of the movie theaters in the major shopping malls of the Imperial City are quite lively, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

"A Chinese Ghost Story--"

"Van Helsing—"

""Bomb Disposaler"——"

""Worry Relief Grocery Store"-"

The walls of the Wanda Cinema in the center of the Imperial City are covered with movie posters that are about to go online or have already been shown. Among them, the two largest posters are Ning Sheng's "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the Hollywood blockbuster "Van Helsing" from North America. The movies are all released tonight, and the screening rate is obviously higher than other movies in the same period——

Not only because of the identities of the two directors, the production cost of the film, the lineup of performances, and the box office estimates of the film by the theaters are all factors that determine the majority of films.

In addition to the fact that the two films are world-renowned directors, the publicity of the two films is not small. "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released simultaneously across Asia, focusing on elements of Chinese culture and new horror horror films, but in the final analysis, it was all about promoting the movie.

"Please scan the QR code."

Standing in front of a ticket collection machine, Zhou Ling took out the two movie tickets for "A Chinese Ghost Story" that she had reserved by scanning the QR code—"Ticket collection successful!" Four words flashed on the ticket collection machine.

Zhou Ling is a drama critic who started to pay attention to Ning Sheng's first TV series, and later became a film critic of Ning Sheng's movies after Ning Cheng made "People on the Journey", including "Swordsman" The series of martial arts films, as well as current action films such as "Hurricane Rescue", Zhou Ling has not missed all the films directed by Ning Sheng. Similar to what some netizens commented on Douban, she feels that she is indeed a bit of a fan of Ning Sheng. mean.

As for the reason for coming to the cinema, as a fan of Ning Cheng, if he didn't come when Ning Cheng's new movie was released, would that make sense?
And this time, her best friend took the initiative to pull her over to watch, because her best friend is a fan of Rong Shao!

As a lover of film and television dramas, Zhou Ling has watched as many movies as she has watched TV series, but for movies, she mostly chooses to watch them at home, not because she doesn't like going to the cinema, it's just because she is single—— She doesn't want to go to the cinema and be abused by the lovers around her!

When Zhou Ling was thinking wildly, her best friend came over with two buckets of popcorn in her arms: "One bucket for each person, can you finish it?"

"no problem!"

Zhou Ling took a bucket of popcorn, threw a few into her mouth, and heard the voice of her best friend, "Do you like Ning Sheng's movies very much?"

She thought for a while, "It's normal."

My girlfriend wondered, "Don't you like Ning Sheng very much, why do you say his movies are so-so?"

"I like his TV series."

Zhou Ling explained: "For example, "Xiao Li Feidao", such as "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", especially these martial arts TV series, I like them very much, but his movies, in my opinion, "Dragon Inn" are very good. , As for the "Swordsman" series, it's too dark to watch, and then those gunfight action movies like "Taken" are not my true love, but overall, they are naturally good, but you know , I like beautiful love stories, and action scenes like martial arts in Chinese culture!"

"That's it—" my best friend curled her lips and said, "It seems that you are not the true fan that those people say, but my interest in watching movies in theaters is also very average. I feel that most movies nowadays are not interesting. I can sit on the bed and watch the old movies for a long time. If it weren’t for the fact that Young Master Rong has so few works in recent years, and it’s hard for him to have new works, I wouldn’t come here to watch them!”

"I hope Young Master Rong and Ning Sheng won't disappoint us in today's movie!" Zhou Ling said, looking up to the direction of the ticket gate: "It seems we can go in now."
-
The ticket Zhou Ling bought is in Hall [-].

The big screen in this theater is top-notch including the sound system. For movie lovers, this is the first choice for many movie lovers to watch movies.

People around came to their seats one after another.

After finding her own seat, Zhou Ling looked around while she was bored, and found that the attendance rate of "A Chinese Ghost Story" seemed to be quite good, and the hundreds of seats in the theater seemed to be full.

"There are quite a lot of people." My best friend said from the side, "I just don't know how many of them are for Rong Shao, and how many of them are because of Lu Han and Liu Shishi."

"Maybe it's all for Ning Cheng?" Zhou Ling joked with her best friend.After chatting for a while, a light curtain suddenly flashed on the big screen, the logo belonging to Xingtong Studio lit up, and my best friend cheered up, "It's about to start!" Zhou Ling nodded.

On the big screen, the stars that belonged to Xingtong’s studio gradually disappeared. The big screen fell into darkness, and the surroundings became quiet in an instant. Pairs of eyes began to stare at the screen. From this point of view, the quality of the audience is still very good. OK

"Lan Ruo Temple."

The low-pitched music sounded in the ears of the audience, and the camera flashed across a temple plaque, and then the scene turned into a scholar in the ancient temple shaking his head and reciting ancient poems——
Suddenly, a gust of wind blows.

The next moment, a woman with a graceful figure covered her face with a light veil appeared in the room. The scholar raised his head to look at the woman, and his lust suddenly became wild, and this woman was also using various means to seduce the scholar in front of him.

The scholar stood up.The lantern was overturned in the water.

The lights in the room became more and more ambiguous, and when the camera turned, the scholar was already lying on the bed with the woman, and the lingering romance began——
"Isn't this scholar the protagonist?"

My best friend only paid attention to the news about Young Master Rong, and didn't pay much attention to the trailer, so I couldn't help asking, a little worried that the protagonist would be a silly-looking pervert, but Zhou Ling shook her head.

"He's not the protagonist."

Zhou Ling has seen three versions of the trailer, and the cover poster of the movie, the protagonist is the popular idol Lu Han and this scholar are not the same person at all, and only the housegirls like girlfriends who have been obsessed with the older generation of idols will recognize the wrong person.

1 minute later.

As Zhou Ling said, this perverted scholar yelled and received his lunch box early. The ambiguous lantern in the room had already been extinguished, the picture went dark, and then blood red flowed from the big screen. In the gloomy music, " A Chinese Ghost Story" slowly emerged from the blood!

At this time, the movie can be regarded as getting to the point. Lu Han's handsome face appeared in the screen, and at the same time, a burst of flute and zither sounded together.

"Life is a beautiful dream like a long road,
The road is windy and frosty, the face is dry,
How many directions do dreams have in the world of mortals?

Looking for the center of obsession and dreaming, the road of love follows everyone——"

Melodious with a touch of sadness, a breath of vicissitudes in Rong Shao's voice rushed towards his face!

The slightly gloomy atmosphere at the beginning of the movie seemed to be swept away by the song that suddenly sounded. The male protagonist played by Lu Han was carrying a suitcase and was walking over mountains and mountains clumsily, which immediately attracted the attention of many audiences.

"Young Master Rong's song is really nice!"

The voice of her girlfriend's nympho rang in Zhou Ling's ears, "It feels like there is an indescribable taste in it. Young Master Rong hasn't sung it for more than ten years. I've listened to this song dozens of times, and it's still so good—— —”

Zhou Ling didn't speak.Compared with the song, she was more attracted by the male lead, not by Lu Han's handsomeness. After all, it was not the first time she saw Lu Han, but she felt that compared to Lu Han's previous film and television image, this time the character seemed like There is an inexplicable aura that attracts me.

"This should be the improvement of the actor's acting skills?"

Maybe it can only be explained in this way. After all, when you suddenly feel attractive to someone you are familiar with, it can only be because of a new advantage of the other party that is attracting you!

The singing continues.

But in this loud and slightly sad singing voice, Ning Caichen's repeated encounters made the scene laugh from time to time, and also made Zhou Ling's favorability for Ning Caichen played by Lu Han continued to rise—— This person is very weak.

Eating steamed buns, the steamed buns hurt your teeth; smashing steamed buns, smashing stones; kicking steamed buns, kicking shoes; getting lost, the compass spins like a top; in the wild, raining head, seeing him pull out the umbrella hard When he opened it, the audience thought that he would not have to continue to suffer. Unexpectedly, in a close-up shot, the umbrella was full of holes. There was no difference between the umbrella and the one without it.

But what makes people feel warm is that no matter how difficult the journey is, there is no trace of trouble on his face. Even if he rolls and climbs on the hillside, he just has a stupid and cute look who doesn't care. I don't care about it, it's more free and easy than being stupid and cute.

It's a pity that this free and easy life didn't bring him good luck.

He wanted to go to the inn to collect the bill, but the rain drenched the account book, and the innkeeper was unwilling to give the money. In desperation, Ning Caichen, who was penniless, had to ask someone where he could stay overnight for free.

"Lanruo Temple!"

The owner of a coffin shop answered Ning Caichen impatiently, but in an instant, countless vendors and passers-by turned their eyes to Ning Caichen at the same time, as if the three words Lanruo Temple had some special deep meaning.

Ning Caichen looked around.

Everyone immediately pretended to be innocent and chatted, so Ning Caichen asked the owner of the coffin shop, "Excuse me, how can I get to Lanruo Temple?"

brush!It was quiet again.

The boss replied, "Three and a half miles to the east, there is a very eerie ancient temple there."

"Okay, by the way, by the—"

Ning Caichen felt that the reaction of the people around him was not right, but because he had no money, he had to go to Lanruo Temple for a free night.

A couple sitting in front of Zhou Ling, the girl said to the boy, "Didn't the scholar die in Lanruo Temple at the beginning, and the one who killed the scholar was a female ghost?"

The boy nodded and said, "That's right, that's why everyone reacted when they heard that Ning Caichen was going to Lanruo Temple!"

I don't know why, but this movie is obviously a ghost movie, and at the beginning of the movie, everyone has seen that female ghosts can kill people.But Ning Caichen's silly and cute look really made everyone not nervous. On the contrary, they thought it was a little funny, and this scholar was not very courageous. I wonder if he would be scared to death after encountering a ghost?
"It's quite relaxing." My best friend commented, "And the image of the male lead is very pleasing. I look familiar? Do you know Lingling?"

"The protagonist is the popular idol Lu Han. Didn't you say that your niece likes Korean groups very much? This Lu Han used to be a member of the Korean group EXO."

"Oh, let me tell you, why does it look familiar!"

Ignoring her best friend's murmurs, Zhou Ling was also a little surprised by the style of the movie. Although the three trailers have different styles, none of the trailers showed a funny comedy element!Could this be a hidden surprise?

At the same time, other audiences in the theater were also watching, complaining in their hearts, or whispering to their companions next to them!
"Aren't ghost movies always scary?"

"I didn't expect Ning Cheng's movie, apart from being a bit gloomy at the beginning, the male lead turned out to be so funny when he appeared, and even the female ghost at the beginning was very hazy. Apart from feeling very beautiful, I couldn't see her appearance clearly at all. It’s a terrifying scene but it’s inexplicably ambiguous——”

"What a surprise!"

"However, it is still very interesting at present. I don't know how it will develop in the future. Lu Han's role this time is very interesting. I feel that he will finally have a masterpiece!"

Judging from the atmosphere of the entire cinema, it doesn't look like a ghost movie is being shown now. Zhou Ling even sees her best friend who is more interested in her idol Rong Shao than in the movie itself, covering her mouth and chuckling from time to time.

"This is Ning Sheng's ability!"

Zhou Ling felt a little proud in her heart, "Whether it's previous film and television dramas, or later movies, or other types of themes, Ning Sheng will always bring surprises and surprises to everyone, because it is something that ordinary people can't understand." genius!"

Feeling the laughter at the scene, Zhou Ling knew that everyone had a sense of substitution for the plot, including herself, who also had a resonance with the movie, and her mind was firmly attracted.

"Wow——" Suddenly, my best friend shook Zhou Ling's shoulders, "Look, this person, this is Liu Shishi, I remember she is a member of the NLZ group, I didn't expect her to look so good in ancient costumes, she is really beautiful So beautiful!"

Zhou Ling's eyes lit up!
Not just the girlfriends, but almost the entire movie theater sounded like a gasping sound!
on the big screen.

The moonlight flows slowly like tassels, the long trestle bridge and the floating castles in the water are dreamlike, and Nie Xiaoqian, dotted with stars, just hits the audience's vision.

The wind floated gently, covering the corners of her mouth with her long hair. Her demeanor was pure and soft, and her eyes were melancholy and blurred. At this moment, some male audiences in the movie theater couldn't help breathing slightly.

She is so beautiful!

It was a very simple scene, but it suddenly made the audience forget the eerie beginning and the funny just now, and they were full of Nie Xiaoqian.

"Is this really a female ghost?"

Some viewers muttered to themselves, in Huaxia's previous ghost films, most of the female ghosts were blue-faced, with fangs and disheveled hair, wearing bloody white clothes, or red robes. Life, and the so-called female ghost in front of me, not only does not look hideous, but it makes people feel surprisingly amazing. Even many boys are probably making a wish in their hearts. If they can kiss Fangze, they are willing to take the risk of living in a temple. one night!
