40, Chapter 40(1/4)
Many people who came to the cinema today were heading for [The Path to Immortality].
Almost all of the people queuing up to get tickets at the smart ticket machines were from "Xiantu". However, there were no strong competitors here, and they were almost able to get nearly half of the tickets.
The trailers played on all the big and small screens throughout the cinema, as well as the dense display of show times behind the ticket counter, have prompted many people who were originally aimless to choose [The Path to Wonderland].
But there are also some die-hard fans of Xie Chen. They are more curious about what happened to the actor during this half-year gap than the grand Xianxia production with a luxurious lineup.
I didn't start working seriously, but I chose to play a cameo in a bad movie.
There are also some who don’t like overcrowded screening environments and choose to watch less popular movies first, and some choose other movies including "The Missing Bride".
Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Yu are the former. They have been fans of each other since Xie Chen's first movie. Over the years, they will not miss any movie in which Xie Chen participates, whether it is a leading role or a supporting role.
Although the original IP of "Xiantu" was also their favorite, in the end, the male lead was not played by Xie Chen, whom they expected most, and their expectations for "Xiantu" were greatly reduced.
Especially for making a guest appearance in this bad movie, Xie Chen, who has almost no scandals, actually broke such breaking news. Even if they are not girlfriend fans, fans like Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Yu who already have certain social experience can't help but wonder whether this is a bad film crew invitation
I'm not satisfied with Xie Chen's guest appearance.
It even relies on hype to win over the other party. Otherwise, with the configuration of the bad movie triangle, it is impossible for this movie to still take away a considerable part of the mainstream attention with the current momentum of "The Path of Immortality".
The two bought tickets and Coca-Cola popcorn, and Zhao Qiqi even took out a neck pillow from her bag.
He said to Zhu Yu: "If I fall asleep out of boredom later, remember to wake me up when Xie Chen appears."
Zhu Yu scolded: "That's sloppy. Why didn't I think of it?"
While talking, the commercials before watching the movie ended and the movie started.
The first scene shows the luxurious presidential suite in a mess. Even though the characters have not yet appeared, the scene looks solid and high-quality.
It doesn't have the cheap flavor of Director Liu's previous films that were full of poverty among the crew. Of course, this scene is also in the trailer.
It may also be that all investment focus is on this, but the two of them are still drinking Coke without any trouble.
The same goes for other audiences in the theater. The attendance rate for this show is not high, but it is not low either. It is around 30 or 40. This time period is definitely incomparable with the almost full Xiantu next door.
The audience watched indifferently as the three crazy women with messy hair and messy makeup stood up, but they were not shouting and screaming like a crude comedy with rough handling.
On the contrary, the three women were all calm and calm, with sleepy eyes and the confusion and discomfort of a hangover. It was very ordinary, just like the day after they danced disco with their dormitory sisters in reality.
Until the character played by Pei Liang opens the bathroom door——
A ferocious tiger appears in a luxury hotel dozens of floors high. This conflict of facts is like a thorn, piercing the dull and boring appearance.
The scene of the third child peeing and looking at the boss together with the tiger made the theater burst into laughter for the first time.
This was less than two minutes before the movie started. Most people who had not had high expectations for the movie were even caught off guard and choked on their popcorn.
Watching the funny and thrilling escape of the three sisters from the tiger's mouth, the laughter in the whole scene is naturally not embarrassing, and the rhythm is bright and nonsensical.
On the contrary, many people sat upright and had some expectations for this film.
I thought that after the laughter of this opening chapter was over, the following was a relatively plain background narrative, but obviously everyone underestimated the madness that three women could bring about in one night.
The three of them were shocked when they saw the bedroom door being opened. They thought it was the bride and the fourth child.
The result was a handsome and hot naked man with messy hair and only wearing a pair of black underwear.
Not to mention that the three people in the movie were dumbfounded, the audience in the theater was also dumbfounded.
Zhao Qiqi, who originally planned to go to sleep when she was bored at the beginning, now let alone sleep, her eyes were as wide as those of a dog glowing green at night, and she wanted to get into a movie.
The moment Xie Chen came out of the room, the entire cinema let out a uniform exclamation, especially the female audience members who were so shocked and excited that they clenched their fists and their bodies trembled with excitement.
Xie Chen walked toward the three of them with his long legs. At this time, his back was on the screen.
Xie Chen has never been completely naked on the screen, and he has never taken sexy photos. Judging from his physique, you can tell that he is very good.
But I didn't expect that it would make people's blood rush and make them faint in shock.
Her broad shoulders and narrow waist, strong back muscles, straight buttocks and strong long legs, just walking forward like this, and the process of tightening and relaxing all the muscles in her body are so sexy that it makes people dizzy.
Director Liu has made so many bad movies that no one would have expected that he could actually turn male sex into such a stunning visual feast.
Xie Chen walked up to Pei Liang, hugged him affectionately and kissed him deeply.
With the other party's confused expression, he picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on. Before going out, he said to Pei Liang: "Baby, you were so great last night. I have never been so bold and crazy in my life."
"See you tonight!"
Then he kissed Pei Liang again and left the suite.
After Xie Chen disappeared from the camera, the three sisters in the movie relaxed, and so did most of the audience in the theater.
Only after Xie Chen disappeared did he come back to his senses from the suffocating temptation and chemical reaction. Many people who knew something about the movie looked at the reactions around him.
No matter what, at least the movie was successful at the beginning. Many viewers didn't even realize that in the first three minutes of footage, they had already resonated with the emotions of the movie characters several times.
Giving the audience a strong sense of immersion during the movie is a success in itself, although "Runaway Bride" handled it a bit tricky.
After all, that is the reaction that Xie Chen's figure can bring about.
But what many viewers are thinking right now is that just watching Best Actor Xie naked and naked is worth the price of admission.
But the next scenes of this movie tell everyone that their ambitions are more than that, and they are not just using the movie star as a gimmick.
Because under the inexplicable male temptation, the dizzy three people came to the master bedroom and prepared to wake the bride up, but found a corpse lying on the bed.
The tiger appearing in the bathroom, the strange sexy naked man, and the corpse on the bed, the opening hook immediately grabs people's curiosity.
What kind of madness did you go through to get to where you are now?
Seeing that there are still more than ten hours before the wedding, the three must find the missing bride.
It was at this moment that the title of the film, The Missing Bride, finally appeared on the big screen.
In the first few minutes, the rhythm is tight and the laughs are abundant, whetting the audience's appetite. It is true that you can't see any connotation in it, and some of the laughs are even too vulgar.
But the tight rhythm makes it impossible for people to distract themselves from thinking about real logic, so they can just laugh.
One of the clever things about the film is that it is a comedy but uses the narrative structure of a suspense film, allowing the three people to use clues to reconstruct what happened last night and find the bride.
This narrative structure is different from ordinary comedies that are straightforward, and it is eye-catching.
The three of them hid the body, panicked, and decided that no matter whether it was them or not, at least they couldn't ruin the fourth child's wedding.
So I followed the clues on my body to find the places I visited last night.
First, they found a tattoo shop from the ticket stubs on their bodies. The three of them went there and the tattoo artist laughed when he saw them.
"You guys are crazy, bold, and your jokes last night were hilarious."
The three of them didn't know why, but the tattoo artist pointed at the eldest brother's thigh. The eldest brother lifted up his skirt. No wonder he woke up early in the morning with a dull pain in his thigh.
It turns out that there is a strange man’s name tattooed on the inner thigh——
"fxxk!" She, who had always been calm and rational, collapsed and tried to catch the tattoo artist with all her strength.
The tattoo artist quickly explained: "Hey! When you and your husband came here, you never said you would regret it in such a short time."
The tattoo artist's words were shocking. After her reminder, the three of them were stimulated to recover some memory fragments and immediately ran to the nearest church.
As expected, the priest was also deeply impressed by the three of them, and he hugged the boss deeply.
He also said that he had never seen such a crazy person, and took out the wedding photos taken by the boss and the strange naked man last night, and even a couple's water cup made from the photos.
The three of them fled in panic, squatting on the curb and doubting their lives.
The second and third children seemed to have finally found an opportunity to preach to the boss. They said with expressions of hatred: "You tell me, you are usually such a serious person. How could you make such a mistake?"
"It's okay, it's okay. There's nothing in life that isn't frivolous. The boss is also a human being."
The eldest son, Gu Fei, is immersed in the fact that she is married, and she still has to accept the two most unreasonable bargains. It is simply a shame in her self-disciplined and perfect life.
This shot was almost shot in Pei Liang's face.
Her face almost took up the entire screen, followed by the two younger ones who were a bit gloating about their misfortune. Pei Liang had a look of doubt on life, his eyes were no longer shrewd, and he looked naive and stupid now.
Coupled with the two fools chattering behind the scenes, the whole scene is hilarious.
But then the two of them couldn't be happy, because the boss suddenly mentioned: "I remember what that joke was."
That's what tattoo artists say they tell jokes.
It turns out that while on the way to get a tattoo, Laosan was playing on his phone and found a post in his circle of friends.
He shared it with the two of them like a joke: "There is a man in my circle of friends whose goal in life is to find a rich woman."
"As soon as you meet someone, ask for an introduction. Forty or fifty doesn't matter, he can do it if he's sixty or seventy. If he's eighty, people say it's not a matter of money. I just want to find someone to spend the rest of my life with."
"Hahahaha..." The boss and the second child laughed: "How about inheriting the inheritance?"
"Isn't it? The key is that he really found it." The third child said: "He just posted it on WeChat Moments. We had a blind date yesterday and got the certificate today."
"He posted a wedding photo on his WeChat Moments, and it said that the past is over, and Aunt Zhou will be my significant other for the rest of my life from now on."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"The funniest thing is not here. As soon as he appeared in the circle of friends, his mother sent a reply [80-year-old person, do you have the nerve to call someone aunt?]."
"A group of friends and relatives below were trying to persuade his mother to calm down. Who would have thought that a few minutes later, his mother would say "call me baby" again."
"Hahahahahaha..." The boss, the second, and the tattoo artist laughed and trembled.
