Less than three minutes into the video, the audience below burst into laughter! What happened next was what everyone was happy to see, and the audience’s laughter almost never stopped. Everyone knew that they succeeded!
When the end credits of the film came to an end, Situ beside him gave Xiao Ran a hand and whispered: "It's time to stand up and accept the audience's opinions!"
Xiao Ran almost fainted, but he had never heard of such a rule. He actually had to stand up and let the audience watch like rare animals. However, the other creators stood up straight, so Xiao Ran had no choice but to let the audience watch.
He stood up like a hippopotamus.
When the film finally came to an end, the audience turned to look at the creators behind it. Have you ever seen this scene? Hundreds of people stood up and stared at themselves. It felt like that scene was really very intimidating.
.
Just as he changed this thought, the sound of applause rang in the cinema. The sound gave people a feeling that money could not buy. Xiao Ran smiled so much that his eyes almost narrowed into slits. He finally understood why the directors were afraid and worried.
Needless to say, if you like it, you are afraid of it. If the filming is not good, if you encounter an audience with a bad temper, you will not say anything, but they will rush towards you and give you a beating.
But if the filming is good and the audience likes it, it will be what it is now. Xiao Ran knows what it feels like, a very exciting and glorious feeling. At this minute, Xiao Ran only feels that he is fearless in doing anything for the movie.
Just for this collective applause from the audience.
What happened next surprised Xiao Ran. Some viewers left directly, but some others came up to pat the creators on their shoulders, or came up to say a few words of praise.
What's even more interesting is that one person rushed towards Situ, patted Situ on the shoulder and said, "Situ, the script you wrote this time is very good! But there is a guy from Xiao Ran who is not here, right?"
Situ seemed to be very familiar with this guy and pointed Xiao Ran to him with a smile: "He's here. He actually wrote this script. I'm just responsible for adding some plot points! If you want to admire me, then admire him!"
Needless to say, Xiao Ran was slapped twice on the shoulder by the man who came over, which made it hurt. The man praised it and said, "Your name is Xiao Ran. This script is well written and the story is good."
!amazing!"
"Thank you!" What else could Xiao Ran say? He could only hold back the pain in his shoulders and smile and say thank you! Later, when he asked Situ, he found out that this man was an enthusiastic and loyal movie fan. He met many directors and directors at the midnight movie.
Screenwriter, this is how Situ met that guy.
After leaving the cinema, I breathed in the night breeze. The humidity in Hong Kong is relatively high, but the sea breeze seemed to be very moist. Looking around, I saw Lin Zhengying about to leave. Xiao Ran suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly rushed forward and shouted: "Third brother,
Wait for me!"
He and Lin Zhengying were quite familiar with each other when they were filming. Because Lin Zhengying was the third eldest and was only in his early thirties, Xiao Ran called him third brother. Lin Zhengying was definitely not handsome in terms of appearance. His Chinese character face was on the screen.
He is very dignified, but in private he is very kind.
Lin Zhengying was about to get into the taxi when he heard Xiao Ran shouting and stopped. Xiao Ran came closer, pulled Lin Zhengying aside and whispered: "Third brother, I just thought of something and I have to tell you.
explain!"
Seeing Lin Zhengying's confused look, Xiao Ran remembered Lin Zhengying's life. Lin Zhengying debuted in the 1970s and served as a martial arts instructor for Bruce Lee. He designed a scene where Bruce Lee and Hong Jinbao fight in "The Way of the Dragon".
It was quite exciting, and later he was supported by Hong Jinbao.
Lin Zhengying was sent to drama school by his father when he was a child, and he studied under the famous teacher Fen Juhua. He studied art for five years, and Zunlong and Hui Tianchi, as well as the future famous action instructor Dong Wei, were all his brothers. Lin Zhengying did drama for several years
Then he entered the film industry, but he never became famous.
Later, he was promoted by Hong Jinbao and became one of the backbones of the Hong family class, but he never found a suitable route for him. It was not until "Mr. Zombie" came out that he became known to the world. Also because of this film, he found a suitable path.
Follow your own route and focus on developing the zombie theme.
People in the future will know that among all the zombie themes, he is the most professional and creative Taoist priest, and also the most convincing. To put it simply, he became famous because of the zombie theme, and he also devoted his life's energy to it.
They are all involved in this theme.
But Xiao Ran knew that after the success of this film, a large number of imitation films immediately sprung up. As a result, in the following years, Lin Zhengying fell into a low ebb, until he turned around with "The Taoist Sisters". However, when zombie films became popular again,
Others followed the trend and produced countless shoddy films of the same type, making this subject completely dead. As a result, Lin Zhengying lost the opportunity to perform on the screen, and was often depressed because of it, and eventually died of liver cancer.
Lin Zhengying is definitely a very creative talent. Xiao Ran doesn't want him to leave so early, let alone the zombie theme. So, he has to say something. After thinking about it, he considered the words before saying: "Three
Brother, you see this movie is so popular, it must be good at the box office. It will definitely be followed by a lot of others in the future. If possible, I think you should take fewer movies like this, otherwise you will kill this subject and you won’t be able to do it in the future.
made a bid!"
"Dead?" Lin Zhengying didn't quite understand how a subject could die as long as it still exists: "How is it possible!"
"In short, you should be as careful as possible when accepting such films. You must check the quality of the script before accepting it, and establish your own golden brand. Don't accept movies randomly just for money, so as not to ruin your reputation!" Xiao Ran sighed, he
I wonder if Lin Zhengying can accept these words.
Sure enough, Lin Zhengying naturally quit. He has not been famous for many years. If he became famous because of this film, he would be a fool if he did not take the opportunity to make more money! He shook his head and patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder: "Brother, what do you think?
It’s too much, nothing will happen, I’m leaving first!”
Lin Zhengying got into the taxi and soon disappeared from Xiao Ran's sight. Only Xiao Ran was left standing alone on the street. He was very depressed. Is it true that the future cannot be changed? Is it possible that Lin Zhengying will still suffer from depression and frustration?
Liver cancer?
As he thought about it, Xiao Ran's mood gradually became crazy. He didn't want to rely on plagiarism all the time. He also didn't like the feeling of waiting. He just stood on the street and thought for a long time. For some reason, there was something wrong.
A desire to find someone to talk to.
He called Wei Dongling. This guy was still awake and was supplementing his movie knowledge. After hearing the call, he immediately took a taxi and found Xiao Ran who was sitting in front of a food stall with a dejected look on his face. Wei Dongling
He couldn't believe that this was Xiao Ran, who was always very steady. He hesitated and asked, "Aran, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just want to find someone to talk to!" Xiao Ran looked indifferent, and his eyes seemed to be unfocused on Wei Dongling: "Why do you think people are always so short-sighted?"
Of course, Xiao Ran did not refer to Lin Zhengying, but because of this incident, he remembered the declining Hong Kong movies in the 1990s and felt something in his heart. Wei Dongling was stunned for a moment, and he now had an inexplicable feeling. However, he still followed Xiao Ran's tone carefully.
Say: "What short-sightedness do you mean?"
"Hong Kong movies, these filmmakers!" Xiao Ran didn't drink, and of course he wasn't so drunk that he shook everything out. He just sighed with emotion: "I drew this in a notebook I wrote. Judging from the reaction at the midnight test screening,
Everyone really liked this movie!”
"Isn't that great?" Wei Dongling was more confused every time. Any good reaction is definitely a good thing.
"I didn't expect you didn't notice it either!" Xiao Ran sighed longly, looking desolate and tired: "This film will definitely be popular. Once it becomes popular, it will be followed! There are too many shoddy similar films produced. If the audience watches too much, they will feel deceived.
Thoughts, who would be fooled again and again?"
There are some things that Xiao Ran is not comfortable saying. After the two booms of zombie movies, the audience's interest in this subject has dropped to the lowest level. Until the 21st century, almost anyone who shoots this subject will definitely lose money. Before this subject can turn around, it is considered
It was completely ruined. The main reason that ruined this genre, and even ruined Hong Kong films, was these desperate followers.
Why follow the trend? Xiao Ran vaguely knew. In the following nearly ten years, the profits from making movies in Hong Kong were even better than robbing banks, so people rushed to grab money. The reason why Xiao Ran wanted to do it as soon as possible
The purpose of setting up a film company is simply to take advantage of the good times and accumulate capital quickly.
Of course Wei Dongling didn't know what Xiao Ran was thinking. He was savoring what Xiao Ran had just said. The more he thought about it, the more surprised he was. He thought Xiao Ran was just an excellent screenwriter, but he didn't expect that Xiao Ran had such a business vision.
set.
He thought about it for a while and then said slowly: "Aran, what you said is certainly reasonable, but some things require traumatic experience. Now the market adapts to them, and when they adapt to the market in the future, they will
Got it!"
The future? Is there still a future? Xiao Ran asked himself with a wry smile. By the time Hong Kong films have adapted to the market, the market has basically been lost to Hollywood. Talents have either been lost to foreign countries or to the television industry, and it is basically a situation that is in a state of collapse.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was dark, with a few stars twinkling occasionally. Xiao Ran suddenly felt that this scene was very similar to a Hong Kong movie in the future. There was no light, only one or two small stars flickered occasionally. In this
For a moment, he was in a trance: "If they mess up all this, it will be too late for me to set up a film company in the future, and Hong Kong films will be hopeless."
Wei Dongling was stuffing the food into his mouth. Hearing what Xiao Ran blurted out subconsciously, he couldn't help but feel shocked. The food on the chopsticks suddenly fell on the table under the shock. In the blink of an eye, his mind was spinning.
I have had so many thoughts and thought about so many things.
Several years later, Xiao Ran finally asked Wei Dongling why he wanted to help him at all costs. He must know that with Wei Dongling's ability, it is not a problem to start a company by himself. Wei Dongling was just like Xiao Ran now, staring at the sky in a daze.
Tell Xiao Ran that it was the moment when he went crazy that night that showed his love for movies and his ambition that moved him.
Of course, Wei Dongling didn't know what would happen in the future, even though he had already thought about something in his mind. Xiao Ran didn't think about the future either, because his future was no longer the familiar future.
Wei Dongling was silent for a long time, and then said in a rare suppressed voice: "Aran, I don't know why you are so frustrated. However, I think that no matter what you want to do, you must come out step by step. You know,
Rome wasn't built in a day, and you can't start a film company overnight."
Xiao Ran woke up with a start. Hearing Wei Dongling's words, he couldn't help but feel confused again. Yes, his goal was right, but did he have to do something else before owning a film company?
After thinking for a long time, he thought he had really figured it out and was no longer confused. Before a person with nothing becomes a boss, he must learn to work for others. This is inevitable... Don't be delusional about yourself before you have enough capital.
