The premiere of "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes" was very successful.

Especially when the theme song "A Laugh in the Sea" was played several times in the film, the audience sang in chorus, and the momentum was amazing.

Even at the end of the film, the audience spontaneously stood up and burst into warm applause and cheers for the crew, which lasted for more than a minute.

"Thank you, thank you everyone..."

Feeling everyone's enthusiasm, director Liu Xinping had already burst into tears.

An old man in his fifties held a microphone in one hand and wiped his tears with the other. He cried so hard that he could not straighten his waist.

He has been making martial arts movies all his life. In the past ten or twenty years, he was highly respected by people and the box office was quite good. Wherever he went, people would respectfully call him "Director Liu", even if he was only in his twenties or thirties.

But later, when the martial arts genre declined, his films gradually lost attention and the box office dropped significantly, so he became what people call "Xiao Liu".

Later, when he got older, he was called "Old Liu" again.

The films he filmed had to bow to the market and turned into police and gangster films, comedies and fantasy films that everyone liked.

This time, I was also invited by Dahe Pictures to take over the direction of a martial arts film again after more than 20 years, intending to bring a less-than-perfect ending to my youthful thoughts.

The filming cost of 5 million, including the actors' salaries, is such a difficult task.

Fortunately, martial arts movies are on the decline, and the actors who became famous for starring in this type of movies are not that high now. In addition, the strict control of entertainers in Xia State means that the salary is not inflated, so these expenses are used to arrange a movie.

A low-budget martial arts film is barely adequate.

So he gritted his teeth and persevered, almost relying on his obsession with martial arts to shoot the entire film.

I thought that when this film was put into the market, it would be like a pebble thrown into a lake, and it would pass away without causing any huge fluctuations.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Kan appeared in the middle of the film and composed such a wonderful song "A Laugh in the Sea" for the film, which instantly made the artistic level of the entire film soar several blocks!

Just look at the smiles of the audience.

Listen to their enthusiastic applause and surprise cheers.

Just look at the tears hanging in the eyes of those old male movie fans who are over forty or fifty.

To dreams, to youth.

This martial arts film of mine is not an ordinary thing, not a flash in the pan, nor a mere pebble thrown into the lake!

He stood up and walked to the stage, choking with tears, he applauded with everyone, and kept bowing to the audience, but he could not say "thank you".

Because his throat and mouth were already filled with tears, he was afraid that if he spoke, he would burst into tears.

"Well done, Director Liu!"

An audience member who knew him shouted loudly in the audience.

"This movie is well made! Of course the theme song is even better!"

Another spectator also shouted.

"It was well shot. I haven't seen a martial arts movie that made me enjoy it like this in many years!"

The fish shop owner's palms were almost smashed as he shouted in a strangled voice.

"Paired with this theme song, it is simply the most perfect martial arts in our minds!"

One of the two old friends who sneaked out under the pretext of buying groceries also shouted. When "A Laugh in the Sea" came out just now, he was so excited that his thighs almost swelled!

"Director Liu is awesome! The theme song is awesome too!"

The old brother next to him also shouted, but the focus was on the theme song.

Anyway, all of a sudden, the theater where the premiere was held was filled with people, like a boiling hot pot or a volcano spewing hot lava. The crew members and actors also came on stage to express their thanks, causing the excitement to rise.

It continues to rise, and is as bustling and lively as the New Year's Eve when firecrackers and sparks went off when I was a kid.

"Eh? Why is this movie theater like this?

How lively?"

Although the door to the theater was closed, the noise they made still came out through the door, making the audience passing by outside very curious!

"What kind of movie is this theater showing? Let me take a look..."

They looked at the poster standing at the door.

"Oh? It's actually a martial arts movie? How can martial arts movies make such a big splash? Haven't they all disappeared for decades?"

Passers-by and spectators curiously looked through the closed door, trying to get some clues.

"Damn, the cheers inside are so loud. Is this a celebration party?"

"It's just a martial arts movie. Who watches martial arts nowadays? Isn't it too outdated?"

"And the name..."Talking and Laughing Jianghu", this name is so tacky! I think it would be more domineering to change "Talking and Laughing Jianghu" to "Swordsman"? ""Swordsman", this name is more smooth, right?

"

"It's not a question of whether the name is popular or not. No one has made such outdated genre films for many years. Who among the young people today still watches these..."

"boom!"

I don't know what happened inside the closed theater. A louder noise rushed out through the thick door, interrupting the audience's words.

They were so curious that one young man finally couldn't help himself, quietly opened the door a little and stuck his head in.

But I found that the people inside were singing a majestic and ancient-style song together under the command of a handsome middle-aged man on the stage!

"The sea laughs, and the tide surges across the strait,

Ups and downs follow the waves, only remembering the present.

The sky laughs, and the world is flooded with tides,

God knows who will lose and who will win."

The song is full of ancient charm and contains a majestic and heavy atmosphere. A few lyrics seem to bring the listener into a strange and twists and turns but heroic and huge rivers and lakes.

!

"Wow, this song... is so sharp?"

The young man unknowingly stuffed half of his shoulders in, wanting to get closer to the atmosphere of the chorus that was being sung by the entire audience!

"Hey, open the door wider. We also want to see what's going on inside. It's just a martial arts movie. It really has such a big impact... Damn it!"

A middle-aged man at the back grabbed the shoulder of the young man in front and was pushed by the curious crowd behind him. He was pushed through the door with a swipe. Seeing the chorus of the whole audience, he was stunned for a moment!

"Brother up front, let me go, we also want to see what's going on inside?"

The waves behind pushed the waves ahead, and soon seven or eight curious spectators rushed in.

The moviegoers who were singing in the chorus were not affected by them. Instead, they continued to sing along with Jiang Kan. The clever sound engineer of the crew even called the projectionist and asked him to play the first part of the film.

This song is played for the first time, and the segment that has been played for the longest time is played again so that everyone can have an accompaniment when singing!

After a while, the screen that was playing the closing credits lit up again, and the scene where "A Laugh in the Sea" appeared for the first time was replayed!

In an instant, that majestic singing voice appeared in front of everyone!

"Wow!"

At this time, not only the original audience in the theater, but also the new audiences who had been waiting outside the door without knowing the truth, and were later pushed in by more and more backers, were also attracted by this sudden appearance.

I was shocked by the sexy operation!

In almost a few seconds, the rhythmic melody of this song was engraved in the hearts of these new audiences. It was like a new stream flowing into the surging river, and their moods also changed.

Became excited and surging!

"The sea laughs, and the tide surges across the strait,

Ups and downs follow the waves, only remembering the present.

The sky laughs, and the world is flooded with tides,

God knows who will lose and who will win."

The high-spirited singing sounded again, and the crowd gathered outside the theater

More and more people gathered in front of the cinema, wanting to know what was going on inside and why so many people came to watch.

Among them is the owner of this theater himself.

"Xiao Zhang, what kind of movie is playing in this theater, and how come it attracts so many people?"

He casually grabbed a staff member who was also leaning in front, wanting to see what was going on.

"Who is it, don't pull me... Oh, it's the boss... What's being played here is a martial arts movie, it seems to be called... called... "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes"?"

Xiao Zhang had an angry look on his face when he was first pulled away. Who could be so blind to stop him from watching the fun?

As soon as I turned around and realized it was the boss, the anger on his face instantly disappeared and replaced with a respectful smile.

The boss didn't care about his face-changing skills, but asked doubtfully:

""The Story of Laughter"? A martial arts film?"

"Are martial arts movies such a big battle now? There are so many people watching?"
