Chapter 177 This movie is not simple 【Subscribe】

For now, the box office of "Lost Delta" during the pre-sale period really beat "Infernal Affairs".

Hao Huan looked at the cover of the movie, and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, I didn't use "Horror Cruise" as the title of the movie! Otherwise, let alone the pre-sale box office breaking through 5 million, even if it is [-] million, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach it!"

Sure enough, it is indeed necessary and useful to have a good movie title!

Hao Huan suddenly thought of the first movie he made, "Age of Fright", isn't that a stupid name?

Seeing the title of this kind of movie, and looking at the classification of the movie as horror and thriller, how many audiences in this country are willing to buy tickets to watch this movie?
Looking back at "Horror Cruise", the movie classification is also considered thriller, but the level of horror is not that big. Basically, most viewers can bear it, so I removed the "thriller" label and then added a pseudo "suspense" label. With the classification tag of "Science Fiction" and a movie title like "Lost Delta" that doesn't sound like it will dissuade you from giving up, you can attract so many viewers in an instant with the help of a wonderful promotional video for the movie!

This can be regarded as a clever marketing tool!
Otherwise, suspense and thriller movies are indeed too niche and unpopular for audiences.

Hao Huan got up early and went to the cinema. He was used to going to the cinema to watch the premiere every time his movie was released.

It is a rare and valuable experience for him to feel the live movie-watching atmosphere in the theater and feel the audience's movie-watching process.

As for whether a movie is good or bad, the most intuitive judgment is to see the audience's live viewing experience.

For example, if there are not many audiences laughing in a comedy, then the comedy has failed.

As for a blockbuster special effects movie, if the audience can't help admiring the whole process, then it means that the special effects scenes of this movie are not enough to shock the audience.

This is the experience that Hao Huan gained when he went to the theater to watch it in person!

In the passenger seat, Wang Lexin took the whole morning off today. The purpose was to accompany Hao Huan to watch the premiere of "Lost Delta". After watching it, she would go to shoot "Painted Skin" at noon.

And the staff of the crew basically went to the theater to watch the premiere now, because Hao Huan booked three movies for everyone to watch at the nearby Dynasty Studios.

Wang Lexin asked curiously: "Boss, why don't we watch the premiere with the crew?"

She was very puzzled, Hao Huan had booked three movies for the whole crew to watch the premiere, but why didn't he go to Dynasty Studios to watch the premiere with the crew, and chose other theaters to watch the premiere alone, it felt like he didn't fit in like.

Hao Huan said in an orderly manner: "The crew already know what kind of movie it is and what kind of scenes are in it. Can you still feel the real movie-watching atmosphere when watching the premiere with them! Just It seems that others have told you the spoiler, and you know the ending of the movie, so what else do you expect after watching it?"

"Forehead……"

Wang Lexin said: "Aren't you the same? You wrote the script, you made the movie, you know the plot of the movie so well, so don't you have nothing to look forward to when you watch the premiere? This is the same as What's the difference between the crew watching it together?"

"You still don't believe me when I say you're stupid!"

Hao Huan snorted coldly: "I watch the premiere just to feel the atmosphere and post-watching experience of real audiences watching my movie! Otherwise, do you think I have nothing to do and go sit and waste time in the theater?"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin understands, so you want to see the audience watching the movie!

No wonder you don't watch the premiere with the crew!They are not considered real audiences, and the atmosphere of watching movies is indeed not too real.

After rushing to the theater, Wang Lexin walked in with Hao Huan, instantly dumbfounded!
"Boss! There are so many people here!"

The waiting hall of the entire theater was full of people!There are still many people who have no place to sit, stand together to chat, or play with mobile phones!

Many young people are using their mobile phones to record the video of the scene, feeling that the movie theater is so hot!Everyone came to see the premiere of "Lost Delta"!

Hao Huan, who was wearing a mask, lowered his voice and warned Wang Lexin: "Don't talk, go to the queue to get tickets!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin quickly shut up, fearing that someone would accidentally recognize them by the sound.

Going to line up to get tickets, Wang Lexin also wears that blue disposable mask, so no one will recognize her, and among so many spectators, there are also some people wearing masks, mainly in November Come on, the air quality is a little bit bad, so many people wear masks when they go out, but it doesn't seem like they don't have 11 taels of silver here.

After queuing for 5 minutes and finally getting the tickets, Wang Lexin walked towards Hao Huan, who was sitting at the door looking down at his phone, who had no seat. Then she stood on tiptoe and whispered in Hao Huan's ear: " Boss, do you want some popcorn?"

"No!" Hao Huan responded in a low voice.

Wang Lexin said quietly: "Then I'll buy you a cup of Coke!"

She went to line up, then bought a small bucket of popcorn and walked back with two glasses of Coke in her arms.

"Boss, take it!"

Hao Huan put the phone back in his pocket in disgust, took two glasses of Coke, and coughed, "We're queuing up to check tickets!"

Checking in 15 minutes in advance is a rare phenomenon in theaters!
"Lost Delta" is too hot!

As high as 60% of the screening rate, the premiere at 8:30 immediately filled the waiting area of ​​the theater with people. Stroll outside for ten minutes before coming in.

Moving forward slowly, the queue was a bit long, and the queue coiled like a long snake was basically filled with young people between the ages of teenagers and 30s.

Finally, they finally got in line.

Wang Lexin held out the ticket to the ticket checking woman for inspection, then pointed to Hao Huan behind him and said, "I'll follow him!"

After checking the tickets, she took two pairs of 3D glasses and walked towards the No. 5 cinema at a faster pace.

Hao Huan held a glass of Coke in each hand, looked at Wang Lexin helplessly, and felt as if he brought his daughter to watch a movie!
The movie ticket seat is still the middle area with the best viewing effect. After Wang Lexin sat down, Hao Huan handed her a cup of Coke and said, "Take care of your Coke, don't drink it wrong again!"

"Oh."

Wang Lexin responded casually, then looked at Hao Huan in astonishment, what the hell is wrong with drinking again?

She asked softly, "I...did I miss it?"

"if not?"

Hao Huan was full of contempt, and said, "You didn't touch your Coke last time! Because you drank my Coke!"

Wang Lexin's eyes widened, is it real or not?She said nervously: "Boss, then... do you have hepatitis B or AIDS?"

Hao Huan stared at her viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "You want to die, don't you?"

"I……"

"Stupid pig! You don't even know how hepatitis B and AIDS are spread!"

Hao Huan reached out and patted Wang Lexin's thigh, and said quietly: "Give me the glasses, and shut up!"

Wang Lexin gave Hao Huan a pair of 3D glasses and did not dare to speak anymore because more and more spectators nearby found the right seats and sat over.

It didn't take long for the No. 5 theater to be filled with people!

Truly a packed house!
There wasn't even a single vacancy!

Wang Lexin stood up and looked around, the little face that took off the mask and put on the 3D glasses to disguise it in advance was shocked!

"boss."

She moved her small mouth to Hao Huan's ear, like a thief, and whispered: "The house is full! There is not a single vacant seat!"

Hao Huan faced her and said word by word: "Shut up! Mouth!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin sat down bored, and simply ate popcorn with her hands. She ate two and handed them to Hao Huan. Seeing that Hao Huan hadn't taken off his mask, he didn't intend to eat, so she took it back and chewed it slowly by herself. , I don't care about Hao Huan!
3 minute later.

The lights in the theater went out, so Hao Huan took off his mask so as not to be recognized, which would affect the viewing experience.

On the big screen, commercial videos for several movies began to play, including the commercial video for "Lost Delta".

Then, the movie starts playing.

Hao Huan put on the 3D glasses. I have to say that the visual effect of the 3D movie is really cool. Just the company logo that appeared at the beginning seemed to come out of the screen suddenly, and it felt like you could touch it with your hands.

The picture is very strong, and the visual effect is particularly realistic!

The movie started to play, and the heroine played by Song Jiayi hugged her dull-eyed son, sobbing and told her son that he just had a nightmare, and the nightmare made him see things that didn't really exist, so he closed his eyes and thought about something beautiful thing.

The opening of this movie made the audience a little confused, because it was too abrupt, they didn't know what happened before, why did Song Jiayi hold her son and cry?
Then, what made the audience even more confused was that after the screen switched, Song Jiayi, who was still crying and comforting her son, suddenly changed into a scene of wearing a dress and putting away her clothes in a happy mood.

In the air, a bird flew by, screaming, Song Jiayi looked up, put away her clothes and went back.

On the way, she passed a small pool where her son usually learns to swim. A yacht toy was poured on the water. She picked it up impatiently and shook the water before walking home.

Then, the screen showed a close-up shot of a child drawing randomly with a paint pen.

After finishing, Song Jiayi knelt on the ground with a towel and wiped the spilled paint, her face and temper had become a little irritable.

The doorbell rang.

She stood up, accidentally smearing her skirt with paint on her hands, causing her to swear in a bad temper.

These foreshadowing shots left the audience a little confused!
Some people even said: "Why do you feel that the editing is messy? The first few cuts of the plot are not right!"

"Shh, this is just the beginning, let's watch it first, the plot hasn't started yet, the previous few episodes should be regarded as editing failures."

……

failure?

Hearing these two words, Hao Huan smiled without leaving a trace. After you read on, you will know that the first few plots are the most important part of the topic, and it is the place that makes people think carefully up!
On the surface, each of these short shuttle shots seems to be wrong, but in fact, each of them hides at least one detail that makes people think deeply and finally realize it.

And this is where this movie is the most shocking, the most suspenseful and brain-burning, and it is the place where it is amazing!
Song Jiayi listened to the doorbell and went to open the door, only to find that there was no one there. She asked a neighbor outside if someone knocked on the door just now, but the other party said no.

So Song Jiayi walked back suspiciously, and then the screen switched again, changing to Song Jiayi in a sweater, stuffing a large bag of heavy things into the car, and then the screen switched back to the house, she grabbed her son by the shoulders, knelt down and faced him Looking at the crying son, he said, "Don't cry, I've cleaned everything up, and everything is exactly the same as before! Look, see?"

Immediately afterwards, the camera was switched again, and the background image became the sea, and a seagull flew in the air, matching the 3D imagery, as if flying in front of the audience.

But at this time, the audience who complained before couldn't help complaining again: "It's been three or four minutes, and the broadcast is intermittent, and the plot can't be connected!"

"I'm convinced too. Compared with "Infernal Affairs", this beginning is far behind!"

"Shhh, let's see again, I already bought tickets anyway, so I can't leave now, can I?"

……

Some impatient viewers began to lose their patience.

Next, there is the plot scene of Song Jiayi driving on the road to the port.

At this time, for the audience, the movie has begun to enter the topic!

port, yachts.

Huang Hao, Liu Yuxi and other five leading stars appeared, and the heroine Song Jiayi looked haggard and walked over alone.

Everyone went out to sea on a yacht, and the complaining audience finally began to watch the movie quietly.

The sea, yacht, sky, and seagulls presented in the 3D movie, combined with the sound effects of the sea breeze, and the sound of the yacht driving on the sea, make you feel like you are actually there!

Then, it got dark.

The storm looked like it was coming.

At this time, the shocking special effects scenes in the promotional film will finally be completely presented in front of the audience!
Nervous, exciting!

That sense of déjà vu that black clouds were about to overwhelm the city appeared just like that!

Immediately afterwards, everyone contacted the marine police for help, but they received another distress signal on the way. It sounded like Song Jiayi's distress call. When the audience looked at Song Jiayi on the yacht with a wrong expression, they felt goosebumps all over their bodies. pimple!
Then, the storm hit, and the yacht was overturned and swallowed by the waves. This is the longest-produced and most painstaking special effects scene in the movie!

Throughout the whole process, the audience was holding their breath.

The movie hall was so quiet that only the sound from the movie could be heard, and the sound of Wang Lexin eating popcorn.

However, apart from the special effects of the storm that made the audience enjoy themselves, the movie lasted for nearly 20 minutes, and they didn't get any fun at all!

what is this?
One-fifth of the 103-minute movie has passed, and the result is that only the special effects of the storm are very comfortable to watch, and the rest of the film feels very flat and boring!

However, when the cruise ship purchased by Hao Huan for 52 billion appeared and everyone boarded the cruise ship, the exciting plot gradually began to unfold!
The cruise ship, which obviously heard movement but didn't even see a single person, made the audience nervous for no reason!
When Song Jiayi said that she seemed to have been here before, when they picked up a bunch of keys, Song Jiayi said they were her keys, with a pocket watch and a picture of her son on it, the attentive audience suddenly recalled the obvious news from the yacht ahead. It was Song Jiayi's cry for help...

So, they began to realize that this movie doesn't seem to be simple!
