Chapter 44 The funny guy sent by Athena
The big screen went dark, then slowly lit up. A line of words appeared: "Add a long lens."
The title sequence is quite simple. After a few seconds, the movie officially starts.
I saw a young man running in a dilapidated alley. In some weird background music, two thugs suddenly rushed out and were inexplicably knocked to the ground by the young man...
All the audience were confused. What does this meaningless expression mean? Especially for a professional like Pincus, the makeup is poor, the scenery... is almost non-existent, and the fighting movements are very weird at first glance.
It’s fake, and the picture is even worse. You can’t use 16mm film, right?
Many people burst into laughter. Basically, it is certain that this is indeed a very low-cost independent film. If it really cost 30,000 US dollars, it should be almost at this level.
However, many people have more expectations. They are quite curious, what will the subsequent filming be like? What tricks can be played? Will a film studio be willing to spend 3 million US dollars?
Fortunately, as the film progressed, the plot began to enter - the male protagonist should be an ordinary young man from the urban bottom, commonly known as Diaosi. He has a secret crush on the heroine, but he only dared to peek and never dared to confess to her face.
However, one day, the male protagonist suddenly discovered a very strange place. It seemed that the heroine had been controlled. However, the heroine was undecided. The neighbors around her seemed a little strange, and they could not tell which one was wrong.
So the hero began to find out the truth and began to rule out the suspicions of the neighbors one by one.
But at this moment, the male protagonist was suddenly attacked. As for Chinese diaosi! She must be like a high school student or a down-and-out American police officer. She can suddenly explode, and she is also born with Chinese kung fu.
Then he embarked on the road to save the heroine...
Seeing this, Pincus feels...it's okay. Even if the actors' performances are exaggerated, the scenery is simple, the makeup is rough, and the director's techniques are immature, you can at least understand the story. And for a mere $30,000, what else do you want to make?
Woolen cloth?
Dern, who was standing at the very back, scoffed. What kind of stuff are they filming? Not to mention the US$3 million for this movie. If I let you go, if you can get a box office of US$300,000, you will be considered a loser.
Shit luck.
But the title of today’s milk law is already there - the Cannes Film Festival is full of bad movies! Is this the loss of human nature or the distortion of morality?
After the initial moment of curiosity, the audience gradually became impatient. It was even impossible to keep quiet in the cinema. This does not require professional knowledge at all, you can tell at a glance - it is an absolute bad movie!
As for Yuan Quan, she was completely dumbfounded. She knew that this movie might be bad, but she didn't expect it to be so bad. Her hand had already tightly grasped Rong Guang's hand, and she was about to cry without tears. She even wanted to find a way out.
The seam is drilled down.
But it’s not over yet! You thought it was all bad, right? In fact, the content that follows is even worse!
The direction of the film suddenly becomes weird again.
Suddenly the style of the painting changed and we came to an abandoned factory. And the heroine was caught, and all her neighbors were actually suspects? Okay! That makes sense, Murder on the Orient Express!
So the fight started again for no reason. However, halfway through the fight...wait a minute, many viewers suddenly discovered, why is the heroine changed to a different person? Do you think we are all blind? Damn it! Did you change someone out of nowhere? ?
The laughter became louder and louder, and boos were heard from time to time. Several audience members stood up and cursed, and chose to leave the stage directly.
But most people have completely relaxed their minds. Their curiosity has even become stronger. It's not that they are curious about whether it is worth 3 million US dollars, but they are curious about how bad it is?
Sure enough, the video did not disappoint everyone!
The fight suddenly and inexplicably stopped, and even the male and female protagonists mysteriously disappeared. On the big screen, several people began to have a long awkward conversation, and the lines were unintelligible. Suddenly, women's self-defense skills were performed again, which was even more confusing.
Laughter kept coming. Yuan Quan's expression was already worse than death. She hated the big bad guy next to her. He tricked herself into making a bad movie and even took her to the Cannes Film Festival. In the future, she will definitely be the one who will spread the world!
Wow! I'll bite you to death, you big bad guy!
Amidst the laughter, only film producers like Pincus and a few film professionals discovered that a long shot seemed to have started just now? The name of the film is "Add a Long Shot", could it be what it is now? Woolen cloth?
Sure enough, the long shot was still going on. Suddenly, the hero and heroine appeared in front of the camera again. The fight started again inexplicably. And one of the thugs became strange again, with a painful expression on his face and insisted on rushing out, unable to stop him...
Then the heroine also fled out the door, but suddenly stopped and stopped running. She held her breath with all her strength and looked weird, until she was pulled by the hero and continued to escape.
The camera was shaking so much. Most people finally realized that it was now a pseudo-documentary shooting technique.
Finally, it was time for the male protagonist, the Chinese diaosi, to show his prowess. He easily killed all the thugs in three strokes, five divided by two. It was difficult to understand why he wanted to escape with the heroine just now?
Just when everyone was guessing and thinking that it was going to be a happy ending, there was a wonderful twist. The heroine suddenly took action and killed the male protagonist too? Killed him? Killed him?
Then the heroine regained her image as a weak woman, and screamed in terror amidst the sound of sirens! The scream was incomprehensible, and it felt quite funny!
As the subtitles rose, enthusiastic applause erupted throughout the cinema hall. Applause, boos, and laughter resounded throughout the sky!
People like Pincus and Dunn were also amused. Is this a movie? Is it a joke sent by Athena?
As for Yuan Quan, she was hopeless. She stared blankly at the big screen, her mind going blank.
…
But at this moment, the picture suddenly changed. It was a panoramic view of the capital city, with a very beautiful composition and extremely bright colors. Just admiring this beautiful shot, it is almost amazing!
The picture stayed silent for a few seconds. A line of words slowly appeared - one month ago.
The entire cinema hall was in an uproar. The commotion was so loud that even the staff of the cinema hall had to issue a warning.
Some of the audience members who were about to leave immediately sat back down. Pincus and the others were all refreshed. It turned out that the show had just begun.
Media reporters such as Dunn refreshed themselves, regained their attention, and stared at the big screen attentively.
Chapter completed!
