Chapter 15 Paradise Cinema
When the time reached 20:45, the screening of the new "Wedding Day is Coming" officially began, and more than 100 viewers in the theater were all excited.
With the brisk music, the opening animation was played on the big screen. On the lush grass, a little black-haired boy and a little black-haired girl ran past, and a puppy broke into the screen from the right side of the screen, sniffed the flowers and plants on the roadside, and suddenly chased after it. The company name "VIDO" was also displayed in the center of the screen.
This was designed by Ye Haogen, and the audience felt that it was good. With such a fresh opening animation, people are more interested in the film.
"The Wedding Time is Coming" is a typical three-act structured Hollywood comedy, and the story goes like this:
Less than half a month later, the wedding date between Kana and Bourne was still there, but many of the originally planned links went wrong, but the biggest problem was that Kana had the idea of canceling the wedding because she was not sure if she was really suitable for her marriage life and whether she really wanted to work with Bourne for the rest of her life. This is the first act.
The second act is that with the encouragement and help of his family, Kana, with Bourne's sincere love, realized that she truly loved Bourne and wanted to grow old with him. But the problem is that at this time, there are less than 24 hours left before the scheduled wedding date, but there are still a lot of mistakes and problems that have not been resolved. It is impossible for the wedding to be held as scheduled.
The third act is when everyone works together to miraculously keep the wedding going. After a wedding that is not very successful, Kana and Don go to Florida for their honeymoon, and the drama ends.
This is a simple story, but the script is well written. Screenwriter Kasten McCann used rich inspiration for jokes and unique insights on the wedding to build many interesting situations and details worth recalling. For example, when the newlyweds cut the wedding cake and knocked the cake over, it would definitely have a hilarious effect, which touched the hearts of investors such as Ye Haogen.
However, producer and director Kevin Thomas made it badly. The level of TV movies is not even enough...
"My name is Kana. Half a month later, it will be my wedding. My fiancé Bourne and I met at a charity dinner..."
With a voice-over of the heroine, a montage of memories and introductions, the film begins.
The audience was quietly wearing interesting smiles, but gradually, their smiles disappeared, became expressionless, distracted, stunned, looked at their phones, yawned...
When more than ten minutes passed, only one or two sparse laughters sounded, and they were laughing very hard.
"Hahahaha!" One of them was Lev and the other four. Lev was laughing wildly, but in fact he was muttering all over. Is this a comedy? Should he laugh?
"Hahaha!" Bud was also laughing, squeezing popcorn in his mouth, and his face turned red. He was the kind of audience with extremely low laughter, and no matter how bad he was, he would have cramps in his smile. He is one of the few people who really laughed at the audience.
Chen Nuo and Colwin really couldn't laugh, and tried their best to laugh, but their expressions looked even worse than crying.
The other guests in the front row couldn't go anywhere. Friends and relatives were embarrassed by Ye Haogen. After spending two million, why did they make such a movie... There is neither the feeling of a serious drama nor the fun of comedy. If you have to tell the truth, it would be so boring...
Ye Wei frowned and stared at the big screen without moving, becoming more and more angry.
This is the first time he has actually watched this movie after having that nightmare, it is so bad! The scene schedule is so bad, the filming technology is so bad, and the rhythm is so bad...
The first act of the first 30 minutes is almost over, and the construction of the character is completely failed! The heroine Kana is portrayed so boring and annoying, like a bitch, without a little cuteness, and not even the simplest sexual attraction. How can the audience recognize her? Looking forward to her successfully completing the wedding?
The male protagonist Bourne and other characters have all failed to create. They have not filmed any real emotions, but they are artificial, childish, and boring...
The same story, the same lines, different narratives and interpretations will lead to completely different results.
A good script was destroyed like this, completely. After watching the first scene of this collapse, the audience would not care about what the story would be like.
Kevin Thomas, the bullshit director, made a bunch of bad bullshits!
"Shh! It's so bad!", "What kind of garbage, I'm wasting 6 yuan."...
The reason why the standard duration of the first act is 30 minutes is that the audience usually only has half an hour of patience. If the story cannot be built within half an hour, they often will not waste another hour. This is a critical point, and this is a line of life and death.
The boo and complaints were already ringing among the audiences who bought tickets one after another, so harsh!
Soon, some viewers stood up and left early, no longer enduring the pile of shit in front of them. The family of three also left, and they regretted it. If they had known, they would have watched "True Love" and went to its screening room to see if there were any spaces left?
The number of viewers in the cinema is decreasing, and gradually, it seems that there are only people in the front row...
"Are you not tolerant of these bastards? This is just the beginning!" Lev scolded angrily when he noticed the audience's exit.
Bud looked back and rushed up angry: "Come back, come back! So funny, why don't you continue watching? Look, hahaha!" He was hilarious again by the images on the screen, but he couldn't drive the silent Chen Nuo and others.
The atmosphere became more and more dull, and the expressions of the guests became complicated. Now everyone knows that this is a big bad movie. Although independent movies often do this, they spent more than 2 million yuan and were looking forward to it for so long, and they got such a rag. How can people accept it?
"Hogen may have been cheated this time."
"I knew, how could there be such a good thing? I advised Haogen not to invest so much..."
"Hey, movies are really not something that anyone can play..."
Some of the guests couldn't help but talk softly. Those who could sit here were good friends for many years, so they mostly sympathized with Ye Haogen, regretted, and worried; while the other groups of investors were angry, depressed, and regretful; and the gloating, laughing, and ridicule from outsiders and enemies that could be expected...
Thousands of people are facing each other, "The Marriage is Coming" is so bad, and it has a different meaning to everyone.
Ye Wei gathered his red eyes, listened to these, looked at them, and held his trembling fists, his mood was like a huge wave, without a trace of resentment, only a surging determination!
Look, everyone watch, love us and hate us, you will one day, also here, in Beverly Center 13 Cinema, intoxicated by Ye Haogen's son Ye Wei's movies, and crazy for me!
At that time, applause would be the only sound here, smiles would be the only expression here, and then you would shout a name, that is...VIY!
Ye Haogen next to him was looking at the screen with a smile, as if he had entered a state of meditation. The whole world was the world on the screen. The smile was as bright as a baby who came to the world and smiled brightly for the first time. When he stepped on the rainbow bridge of his dream, he gained a new life and saw a new hope: a rising sun is rising.
