Depressive Screenwriter

#217 - Flower Love Release

Friday

Zhong Qianxue had been absent-minded since morning.

She first read Su Yan's work when she was a freshman, and the heart-wrenching emotion that Rurouni Kenshin's online broadcast brought her back then is still vivid in her mind.

Now, she has graduated for more than a year and has experienced the triple blow of life, work, and broken love.

But even so, she has watched all of Su Yan's works without missing a single one.

After watching "5 Centimeters Per Second" released last month, it took her more than half a month to adjust her mindset.

This book is first released on the entire network by 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞

And today.

From the afternoon, her mind was already on the movie that would be released at eight o'clock in the evening.

At six o'clock, the company got off work on time. After leaving the company, she ate dinner alone, then took a walk until seven thirty, and then came to the cinema where she had booked her movie tickets.

Once inside,

It can be said that it was a sea of people.

Movie theaters in big cities have always been like this, not to mention that it is now the end of the summer vacation. A large number of students cherish their half-year long vacation at this time and choose to go to the cinema to watch movies.

Normally, student parties should not be particularly interested in Su Yan's depressing love works. Fantasy special effects popcorn movies like "Fairy Mountain" are what they like.

But in fact, among the people queuing to buy tickets, the number of people choosing the movie "5 Centimeters Per Second" is actually relatively high.

But this situation is understandable.

For most movie fans, they watch whatever the market GG pushes to them.

Su Yan is so famous, and the influence of "5 Centimeters Per Second" is still there. Moreover, on the first day of release today, the movie "Like a Bouquet of Love" is basically in the C position in the hall of major theaters.

The film's screening volume is also the highest today, reaching 21%.

The screening volume of "Like a Bouquet of Love's" two competitors, "Fairy Mountain" and "Truth", are 20% and 17% respectively.

This is the result of market marketing, publicity, and the theater's expectation game on the market trend before the release of the work.

Everyone is optimistic about Su Yan and his new movie, so they give "Like a Bouquet of Love" such a high screening rate on the first day.

These will affect the audience's viewing choices.

And if the attendance rate, word-of-mouth, and total box office data of "Like a Bouquet of Love" are very good today, major theaters in Xia Guo will adjust the box office screening based on today's various data tomorrow.

As time passed bit by bit, Zhong Qianxue's emotions gradually rose.

Su Yan's fans in the theater also became active, and everyone frequently looked at the time on their watches.

Then, under the announcement, they consciously lined up to enter the venue.

After entering the theater, Zhong Qianxue observed the audience.

One-third are couples, one-third are students, and one-third are single people like her.

Almost 70% or more of the seats in this theater are full.

"What a group of people who don't believe in evil," Zhong Qianxue smiled.

As a fan of Su Yan, she is naturally very happy to see so many people supporting Su Yan's new work.

But after a bunch of couples watched "5 Centimeters Per Second" last month, they directly had conflicts. There are still so many couples who dare to come and watch this month.

That's just stubborn.

Don't look at how warm the trailer of "Like a Bouquet of Love" seems.

But Zhong Qianxue doesn't believe that this movie will have a happy ending at all.

While Zhong Qianxue was thinking about these questions, the theater screen began to play GGs.

Some are local real estate GGs.

But some are GGs for movies that will be released in the next few months.

Among them, there is a familiar shot.

A messy mountain path, a woman in a kimono sitting on the road, and in front of the woman, a man holding a long sword with a sinister expression.

Zhong Qianxue doesn't know who this man is, but this woman.

Shen Liqian.

Since Shen Liqian is there, is there any need to say what work this film preview is about?

The four words "Rurouni Kenshin" appeared in Zhong Qianxue's heart.

Her heart suddenly clenched.

In the theater, a large number of Su Yan fans also thought of this and exclaimed directly.

"Rurouni Kenshin."

"Damn, this picture quality is a hundred times better than the TV series version!"

"Is Shen Liqian the heroine?"

"Awesome."

"Where is Kenshin?"

【Go to hell.】 The man said in a low voice.

He swung his sword and slashed without hesitation.

At this moment, the camera switched, pulled up, and zoomed out.

A man in red jumped down from a high place, without Wia, without special effects, a real one-shot tumbling action under that sword, saving the woman.

The man raised his head, and under his hair was a handsome face and a cross-shaped scar on his cheek.

And

In the TV series version, everyone never saw Rurouni Kenshin's smile.

【Rurouni Kenshin. Released nationwide on February 6.】

Half a year in advance, this is just a ten-second trailer, but it is so handsome that it amazes everyone in the entire theater.

Zhong Qianxue was so excited that she almost cheered.

Awesome!

Rurouni Kenshin is the most suitable film and television role for Su Yan, and it is also the beginning of her liking Su Yan's works.

But

There is no time for her to think about it.

The lights in the theater dimmed.

Like a Bouquet of Love, the movie begins.

The picture starts in a coffee shop.

Two couples sitting at neighboring tables look at the third couple on the third table and start their predictions.

In these two couples, the man on the left and the woman on the right are sitting back to back. Without noticing the people behind them, both of them are looking at the couple on the third table.

The couple on the third table are using a pair of headphones, each wearing one, listening to something.

【Those two people don't like music. Music is not monaural, but stereo. Listening with headphones, the sound on the left and right is different. Listening with only one earphone is another song.】 The man said to his girlfriend.

【Like a sandwich, is it still a sandwich if you eat bacon and lettuce separately? If two people eat pork chop rice, one eats rice and the other eats pork chop, can they both be eating pork chop rice? Although two people want to listen to the same song, in fact, the content they hear is different.】 The woman behind the table looked at her boyfriend and also started this topic.

Eh?

Zhong Qianxue looked dazed.

Is there such a statement?

Speaking of which, she had similar operations with her boyfriend.

A pair of headphones, two people each wearing one.

According to the theory of these two people, everyone is actually listening to their own.

And

How interesting is this picture.

It is clear that men and women are explaining the problem of doing this to their partners.

But how do you feel that their respective couples don't understand these at all, but the two people sitting back to back understand each other.

Next, the dialogue between the two people after the lens editing can be inexplicably continued.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Qianxue's mouth.

Why don't you two break up with your respective partners and then get together.

The two became more and more angry, and finally could not tolerate the fact that the couple on the third table thought they were enjoying a song together, but in fact they were listening to their own, and stood up together, preparing to correct the behavior of the couple.

The sound of the two people standing up and moving their chairs at the same time also attracted each other's attention.

Both the man and the woman turned their heads and looked at each other behind them.

Both expressions became complicated and subtle.

Then, like children who have done something wrong, they quietly retreated and nervously continued to talk to their partners about other topics.

These two people must know each other, but they are pretending not to know each other.

Zhong Qianxue blinked her eyes. It seems that at the beginning of the movie, it makes people feel a little sad!

The camera switches to Hachiya Kinu, the heroine played by Shen Liqian.

The background narration introduces her identity.

And some laws that Zhong Qianxue empathizes with.

【Only this makes me feel that the world is real. If the toast falls on the ground, it must be after buttering!】

Real

The background narration continues to advance the plot and tells the audience the identity of the woman.

A ramen review blogger who is quite famous on the Internet because of her hobbies.

A female college student who is about to graduate and find a job.

A quiet girl, but in fact her inner emotions are rich and diverse. She is polite on the surface, but she is a cute girl who frantically complains in her heart about her male friend suggesting to go to a barbecue restaurant with her even though she is wearing a sweater.

Then, the male friend met a cuter girl in the middle and let her go home alone.

Then she missed the last train and had to spend the night in an Internet cafe.

Unlucky.

But Zhong Qianxue immediately felt empathy.

The perspective switches to the male protagonist.

A man with a similar personality, who doesn't say anything on the surface, but frantically complains in his heart about the various irrationalities around him.

Both of them are catering to the friends around them.

Socializing, life, finding a job, and then

Full of exhaustion, they complain on the way home.

Zhong Qianxue is like this in the company every day. Her boss has been complained about hundreds of times in her heart, but every time she sees her, she still has to smile.

The two do not know each other, but their living habits and habits are surprisingly consistent.

Even missing the exhibition can happen together.

Then, one night, they ran into the subway station together from both sides of the street, wanting to catch the last train home, and then

Fell down at the ticket gate together.

Zhong Qianxue's expression has already become an aunt's smile when she sees this.

Although, but.

This plot introducing the male and female protagonists is a bit sweet!

This is the real meaning of people with the same life frequency, right?

Two people who don't know each other have surprisingly similar living habits and hobbies.

It's okay to miss the same exhibition on the same day.

Also missed the last train on the same day.

Of course, there is also a couple who missed the last train like them.

Four men and women who didn't know each other suggested to get together somewhere and spend the night, and take the first train tomorrow morning.

Well.

This is the difference between Sakurajima people and mainland people.

Strangers can make an appointment for dinner for this reason.

But from here, the movie enters the main line.

In the original movie, the four met Mamoru Oshii, a famous director in the Sakurajima area, in a small bar.

Because the male and female protagonists in the group of four felt incredible that the other two were completely unaware of the identity of the great god in the industry, but talked about other film and television works instead.

But in the Xia Guo version, Mamoru Oshii's role was replaced by Su Yan. The male protagonist, Yamane Mugi, and the female protagonist, Hachiya Kinu, met Su Yan himself in this bar.

Su Yan's cameo in this shot is very short, but when Su Yan appeared with Shinazaki Ikumi, this golden partner in the TV drama industry, as "Su Yan".

Zhong Qianxue, a group of people in the theater collectively whispered.

Can it be like this?

No wonder Su Yan said that he did not play any role in this movie.

You are yourself in this movie!

Is this a small easter egg?
