While other commercial films have chosen to "increase the amount without increasing the price" and basically keep the duration at about two hours, only comedy films are willing to shorten the duration of the movie in order to make the laughter more dense.
The film first highlights the major theme of the film "Mermaid" calling for environmental protection through the screening of a documentary.
At first glance, the audience was a little confused. Isn't this a comedy movie? Why did the style suddenly become serious?
However, Mr. Xing did not disappoint the audience. In less than five minutes, the story of a group of tourists visiting the "World Museum of Rare and Rare Animals" made the entire theater audience laugh, and at the same time led to the existence of "mermaids".
The concept officially kicks off the story to be told in the movie.
I have to say that Mr. Xing definitely has unique insights in movie casting.
In addition to the selection of supporting roles such as Yang Wei and Lin Tse-cong, Luo Zhixiang, Lu Zhengyu, and Zhang Mei'er, who had outstanding performances in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", were also invited to star in this film again.
Movie.
As for the heroine Lin Yun, whom netizens can't understand, it was decided after Mr. Xing's careful consideration.
Lin Yun's acting skills are indeed very poor. Compared with other actors, both her expressions and body movements are a bit stiff and artificial. However, if Lin Yun is replaced as an actor in the mermaid clan, these shortcomings in her performance will actually become a problem.
A more vivid depiction.
As time goes by, the plot of the movie is gradually advancing.
Starting from when Octopus sent Shanshan into the car to assassinate Liu Xuan, Xingye's nonsensical comedy style began to be fully displayed, especially in the movie scene where Shanshan assassinated Liu Xuan. Lin Yuan escaped from Shanshan to the accompaniment of "Invincible".
Shan was assassinated time and again by Chi Chi. The target of the assassination was not injured. Instead, Shanshan, who was carrying out the assassination plan, shot herself in the foot.
Under the performances of the actors, one laugh after another appeared on the big screen, making the audience laugh and cry.
The Lin Yuan alarm scene that appeared in the trailer before appeared in front of the audience again. Even if the audience has watched the trailer countless times, they still can't help but feel excited when they see this famous scene.
Laughing out loud, the whole theater was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Up to this point in the screening, the character Liu Xuan played by Lin Yuan is changing as he grows up, and the theme of the movie gradually sublimates as the plot progresses.
At the end of the movie, Liu Xuan risked his life to save Shanshan back to the sea. After putting Shanshan back into the sea, he felt as if he was liberated. He looked in the direction of the sea and fell back.
Relief, relief, gratification...
Even though there is no line here, Lin Yuan's eyes express all the emotions clearly.
At the end of the movie, Shanshan takes Liu Xuan to visit the school of fish in the sea. The octopus appears again with the mermaid tribe, swimming freely in the sea. Is this happy ending reality or Liu Xuan's fantasy before his death? The audience
I no longer want to think about it.
The entire theater was silent and quiet.
They did not expect that the ending of a comedy movie would be so sentimental, nor did they expect that Lin Yuan's acting skills would be so exaggerated, directly transporting them from the scene into the movie.
It wasn't until the song "Invincible" sounded again and the film crew list appeared on the big screen that the audience realized that the movie was indeed over.
"As expected of Xingye's movie, this year's number one comedy has been booked."
"Why do I feel that Lin Yuan's acting skills are getting better and better, or is he acting like a second-generation rich man?"
"It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time. If Lin Yuan can star in this movie with Xingye, I will definitely blow it!"
"It's broken, Wanhua'er now needs an exclusive BGM."
"How, how invincible..."
The audience in the theater stood up from their respective seats and whispered about movie-related topics.
But just as they stood up to leave.
The lights in front of the big screen suddenly turned on, and the audience sitting in the first row came on stage one after another with microphones in hand.
The staff of the cinema are also standing guard in the audience as if facing a formidable enemy, ready to maintain order at any time.
It was obvious that they were just lucky enough to meet the crew of "Mermaid" on their road show!
The theater immediately burst into bursts of warm applause and cheers. Even though the audience in the back row couldn't see clearly which celebrities were standing on the stage at the moment, it didn't stop them from taking photos frantically with their mobile phones.
The media reporters arranged by the crew also gathered in front of the stage, focusing their cameras on Xing Ye and Lin Yuan, the two most popular celebrities.
There were people at the scene who sent flowers to the creative team members. I don’t know if this was a request arranged by the crew in advance or a spontaneous fan behavior by the theater staff.
"My friends in the audience, let us welcome the creative team of "Mermaid" together, shall we?"
The host walked onto the stage and introduced the members of the creative team of "Mermaid" from left to right.
Whenever the actors in the movie are introduced, there will be extremely fierce cheers. When Lin Yuan and Xingye are introduced, the giant screen hall bursts into applause. The sound almost knocks over the ceiling of the theater, even if it is
Audiences outside the theater can feel the enthusiasm inside.
How the movie was received can be seen from the audience's reaction.
If "Mermaid" was a very ordinary film, or even a bad film, even if Lin Yuan and Xing Ye were the idols of the audience, the response at this moment would not be so enthusiastic.
It can be seen from the continuous applause and the heartfelt laughter of the audience during the movie screening that the movie "Mermaid" is definitely a success as a comedy. The movie is only 93 minutes long.
There are inevitably some shortcomings in the portrayal of his growth.
I interacted with the audience in the theater for nearly half an hour, until the next movie in the giant screen hall was about to be screened, and this was the end of the road show that surprised the audience.

By the time Lin Yuan returned to the hotel with the crew of "Mermaid", it was already 2:25 in the morning.
Several leading actors did not return to their respective rooms.
Instead, they stayed in Master Xing's room with a tacit understanding, each found a seat and sat down, waiting for the box office results of the first movie to come out.
Mr. Xing glanced at everyone with a smile and said in a joking tone: "During the road show just now, I saw that none of you seem to care about the movie box office. Why are you here guarding it now?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Lin Yuan took over Master Xing's words and joked: "Master Xing, there is no hope for the box office on this first day. You have to let us see the box office of the first movie so that we can sleep."
It’s not a peaceful sleep.”
"Isn't it just the first movie box office? I'll satisfy you!" Mr. Xing took out his mobile phone and put it directly on the table.
Everyone invariably turned their attention to Master Xing's mobile phone, waiting for the real-time box office results of the first movie of "Mermaid" to be released.
