Chapter 53: Very Ordinary But Explosive
Peng Hui bought a portion of peeled melon seeds.
It is his little habit to eat something while watching a movie.
But he prefers melon seeds to popcorn.
Just watching a movie in the theater, it's hard to actually eat it, so I can only eat these soulless melon seeds.
Naturally, Guo Yue bought a three-piece theater set.
Popcorn, Pepsi and Coke are the same.
"Can't you just buy the big bottle?" Peng Hui couldn't help but be curious.
"Happy! You don't understand." Guo Yue said with disdain.
Peng Hui shrugged, saying that he really didn't understand.
Isn’t it just Feizhai Happy Water?
After all, he is considered an anchor, so he naturally understands.
But that's not important.
Two people enter according to their ticket numbers.
Looking at the attendance rate, Peng Hui seemed a little surprised.
"There aren't many people." Guo Yue looked around and said with emotion.
"After all, there is only one Wang Baobao in this drama." Peng Hui was not surprised at all.
In this movie, the only one who can carry the box office is Wang Baobao.
What about Chen Sicheng's character...
It's underrated. Even if he's talented, he's not the kind of top-notch director who brings his own audience.
Although Tong Meiya is beautiful, she has not had any outstanding movie masterpieces before, so her box office performance was average.
As for Liu Haoran...
At most, I have acted in dramas and movies before, and I am still a complete newcomer.
In other words, the box office expectations of this movie should not be high.
In fact, Peng Hui later learned that the budget of "Detective Chinatown" was less than 100 million.
At first glance, one hundred million seems like a lot.
But in fact, in today's era of blockbusters, the box office has already exceeded one billion!
Even the standard budget for basic blockbusters has been raised to 200 million!
One hundred million...
It's really not a blockbuster movie.
Of course, when promoting, you should naturally say as much as you can, since bragging will not attract taxes anyway.
In the beginning, of course it was the dragon mark.
In the dark room, Wang Baobao was the first to come into view.
"Pfft! The baby is starting to let himself go more and more." Guo Yue whispered with a smile.
Peng Hui recalled that when he first saw Baobao Wang with an afro and two big gold teeth in his mouth, he almost burst out laughing.
It has to be said that as an actor, especially a professional actor, you are destined to ignore the issue of personal image.
Afterwards, the story entered a normal rhythm. From the beginning, the little fresh meat Qin Feng naturally appeared in the camera.
"Huh? Is that examiner Dapeng?" Guo Yue asked in surprise.
"Yes." Speaking of which, it was also the first time for Peng Hui to see Dapeng, so it still felt very fresh.
"Tsk, tsk, Chen Sireng has quite a lot of connections." Guo Yue said with emotion.
"Absolutely." Peng Hui said perfunctorily while watching the movie patiently.
Guo Yue curled her lips and turned her attention to the movie.
As the plot unfolded, a deep doubt appeared in his mind.
“What is this story really about?”
"Judging from what I've seen so far, it should be based on some well-known detective novels." Peng Hui smiled and said casually.
"Detective novel?" Guo Yue asked strangely: "Doesn't it require... copyright?"
"Who knows." Peng Hui said with a smile: "Isn't that what happens in China?"
"Tsk tsk, this money is really easy to make."
"Haha." Peng Hui smiled and did not answer.
"Detective Chinatown" roughly tells the story of Qin Feng and Tang Ren, who has become a criminal suspect. In order to save their lives, they need to find the "lost gold", identify the "real murderer", and "cleanse" them within seven days.
Stories about these "defying" missions of "clearing one's name".
It can be said that the story itself is not complicated.
But as a director, Chen Sicheng has a good grasp of the narrative rhythm of this play.
At least in the first half of the time, you are completely confused.
But a movie like this will inevitably cause a very embarrassing problem.
That is its later stage. As the case gradually becomes clearer, it will basically collapse.
"Eh? That was...you just now?" Guo Yue looked at the photos flashing past the camera in surprise, and looked at Peng Hui beside her in surprise.
Peng Hui said with a smile: "I was traveling in Thailand at the time, and I happened to meet him, so I was roped in to make a cameo. It was just that there was originally supposed to be a wedding banquet toasting scene, but it seems that it has been deleted now."
Peng Hui was not surprised when his part was deleted.
After all, he is not famous, so it is normal for his scenes to be deleted.
After all, since there is a photo from the back, the character in the front is no longer there.
It's just a pity that Peng Hui still had one line at that time.
Although a little regretful, Peng Hui was not very disappointed.
In fact, this was the first time he saw himself in front of the camera.
I have to say, he is very handsome.
"That's pretty awesome," Guo Yue said with emotion.
Guo Yue majored in music. Although she was not an actor, she knew that the opportunity to participate in such a blockbuster was rare.
Even at this time, he was a little jealous of Peng Hui.
A man who is so handsome and can write and sing songs is lucky.
If Peng Hui hadn't gone to the directing department now, Guo Yue might have really wanted to compete with a real person.
Fortunately, the role of Peng Hui was just a guest appearance, so Guo Yue quickly calmed down after her initial jealousy.
The movie continues to play.
The two were also surprised that the final location of the gold was in the store.
"Is this considered dark under the lamp?" Guo Yue asked in surprise.
"We should forget about it," Peng Hui said.
Although this movie can be said to be a plot pieced together from a detective novel, it has to be said that Chen Sicheng told it quite well.
Judging from the knowledge Peng Hui has learned in the past six months, it can be said that he has made some achievements.
As Qin Feng sees through everything, the story finally comes to an end.
In the hospital, Tang Ren stole the show and told the whole story of the case.
Soon, the real murderer, Sinuo's adoptive father Li, was killed by Kuntai who happened to arrive when he jumped out of the hospital glass.
"Huh...that's wonderful." Guo Yue said with emotion.
"The story is good."
"Hey, aren't you a director? Tell me, how is this movie?"
“There is more than enough craftsmanship but not enough innovation,” Peng Hui said.
"Speak humanly!" Guo Yue rolled her eyes at him angrily.
"This is the movie that will explode at the box office." Peng Hui smiled and said directly.
"Will it explode?" Guo Yue asked in surprise: "Is it true?"
"Actually, apart from the plot of the detective novel he used, this play is very ordinary in terms of setting, lighting and color use." Peng Hui explained with a smile: "Anyone who works in the five-year-old industry is very ordinary.
