Chapter 167 The Abyss
This week, in addition to "Kingdom of Money", there are four movies released, two of which cost more than [-] million yuan - if it weren't for the recent summer heat that has slowly dissipated, "Kingdom of Money" is facing The pressure is even greater.
Yan Xiu was visibly nervous. Gu Yu had known each other for so long, but he had never seen him so nervous.
The film held a small premiere in a nearby theater, and the media was not invited extensively, and the performance was quite low-key, but in the eyes of some people, this is a clear proof that the quality of "Land of Money" is not trustworthy.
Gu Yu didn't know what to say after reading it.
If a large-scale premiere is held, in the view of these people, it may be another manifestation of "The Kingdom of Money" being overconfident.
On this point, Gu Yu and Yan Xiu agree that the premiere is not the key point, but the quality of the film itself.
It was raining on the day of the premiere, and the popularity of the summer vacation was not as good as before. Film critics and industry insiders tended to be conservative in their views on the recent films, and did not spend too much ink.
But "Land of Money" is still a high-profile film.
Everyone is looking forward to it, what will Yan Xiu's first directorial work be like?
On the first day of the film's release, several film critics took the time to go to the cinema to enjoy "The Kingdom of Money".
Before this, through the introduction of the trailer, film critics probably only know that this is a story about the struggle between two companies, but the details of what the story unfolds are not revealed in the trailer.
"Why are you here too?"
A familiar film critic saw "The Roger Mystery" and couldn't help asking curiously: "You shouldn't be interested in this type of movie, right?"
"Roger Mystery" smiled: "I'm a fan of Gu Yu's movie now, and I happen to have nothing to do recently, so let's take a look."
"Roger Mystery" has always featured thrilling suspense films, but in the domestic market, this type of film has never been the mainstream, but most of the fans are diehard.
"Roger Mystery" has been watching movies starring Gu Yu since "Magpie". He was really looking forward to Gu Yu's role in a suspense film, but after waiting for so long, the other party is still acting in other types of movies. Always high.
"Business war film, is this the first summer film this year?" A film critic flipped through his notes.
"Let's not talk about the summer vacation, there seems to be no movie with this theme this year."
The lights in the viewing hall dimmed at this time, and the film critics also stopped talking and looked at the screen in front of them.
In fact, judging from the trailer, the quality of the movie "Land of Money" seems to be pretty good, not as bad as the outside world thinks, but the film critics are a group of people who rely on criticism, the quality of the movie is not very good, even if it is only average , Don't expect to get a compliment from them.
The story takes place in City S. "Ruining" and "Xiaorui" are the two leaders in the field of biomedicine in S City, and they are also sworn enemies. In the first scene, the audience learned about "Ruining" Currently facing a crisis - the chairman of "Ruining" passed away due to illness, and his only son Ning Ruian took over the power.
Taking advantage of the handover of "Ruining", Xiao Run, the head of the deadly rival "Xiaorui", seized part of the market share of "Ruining". Arrived at "Xiao Rui".
The film critics frowned slightly. This opening is really mediocre. They read hundreds of films a year. Such an opening is not very attractive. If the whole film has been maintained at this level, it will be difficult for them to give high praise. point.
Only "Roger's Mystery" gave a slight "Huh", but it was so light that no one noticed.
"Roger Mystery" has dealt with horror and suspense works all the year round, and is more sensitive to picture color and soundtrack than ordinary film critics. Compared with Gu Yu's other films, this "Kingdom of Money" is indeed a bit unremarkable at the beginning, but let " Roger Mystery" cares about the tone of the movie is a bit strange.
Although it can't achieve the effect of a suspense film, but in terms of tone, it is definitely not the color that a positive movie will have.
Of course, this is because "Roger's Mystery" is very sensitive to color, and ordinary viewers may not be able to discover it.
The story quickly advances to the appearance of Ning Ruian, played by Gu Yu.
The film critics could clearly hear a sudden sound of breathing in the originally quiet viewing hall, accompanied by a low scream. Although the audience tried their best to suppress it, this sound could not be ignored at all.
Film critics all know why. It is recognized in the industry that Gu Yu is handsome, but it turns out that with the right look, he can be even more handsome.
Some viewers even raised their mobile phones to secretly take pictures. It is against the rules to secretly record and film in a movie theater. General practitioners in the industry don’t want the audience to do this, but if the audience insists on doing so, the theater has nothing to do.
In fact, Ning Rui'an on the screen is really good-looking!
Gu Yu has acted in so many films, only this one fully demonstrated his good looks.
Luxurious cars, famous watches, handsome windbreakers and long legs, coupled with an astonishingly handsome face, there is a faint smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, and there is a playboy temperament in his eyes.
Especially at this moment, the other party's eyes happened to be staring at the camera, and there seemed to be infinite affection in his eyebrows and eyes.
There were many fans of Gu Yu in the audience, and they were so excited that they couldn't speak when they saw this scene.
What can they say?
This man Yan Xiu really understands Gu Yu too well!
Gu Yu's looks are already good-looking, but Yan Xiu just knows how to make him look better!
The banner of CP has already been raised.
The audience originally thought that this kind of Ning Rui'an should be a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, but they didn't expect that Ning Rui'an shocked the whole "Ruining" when he first appeared.
It's true that the other party is a playboy, but the playboy is just his appearance. The real Ning Ruian is more ruthless than everyone imagined, even more ruthless than the original person in power of "Rui Ning".
"What a decisive character, a bit interesting."
The more luxurious Ning Rui'an's appearance is, the more incompatible his behavior and face will be, which will make the audience feel a strong sense of difference.
In the movie, Ning Rui'an eradicated the dissidents in the company who did not obey him, and continued to expand his career, competing with his rival Xiao Run.
Regardless of whether he succeeds or fails, he always has that smiling expression. No one can guess his true inner thoughts. They felt Ning Ruian's fearfulness more and more.
This role faintly gave them a feeling that they were going to lose control.
Just like the scene being performed at this moment.
Ning Ruian was smoking a cigarette, blowing smoke rings alone in the darkness, the smoke slowly drifted away and faded, but there was no trace of human warmth in his eyes.
No warmth.
"...Is it my illusion? I thought this movie would be about the hero Shuangwen and Ning Rui'an going all the way to become a stronger company, but now..."
Just as an audience member put forward his idea, another audience quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes!"
They thought it would be a plot where Ning Ruian and Xiao Run fell in love and killed each other.
——Although it is not a big problem to say so.
In the movie, both of them are deeply scheming, and the verbal confrontation hides murderous intentions. In the reception scene, every time Ning Ruian raised a point, Xiao Run would immediately answer it. If the two were not rivals, judging from their temperament and style, The two can be friends.
The audience faintly felt that there was an aura between the two that no one else could penetrate.
This is probably the chemical effect produced by the cooperation between Gu Yu and Yan Xiu.
"CP is actually super easy to drink, this is the legendary strong, right?"
"Ning Rui'an is too aggressive, I am willing to write a [-]-word essay for them."
"The banner of Ningrun will never fall, let me hold it up!"
As the plot progresses, Ning Rui'an's "Rui Ning" erodes "Xiao Rui" step by step, and Xiao Run, who was high-spirited at the beginning of the movie, gradually becomes desperate.
On this road paved with money, they gradually lost themselves.
At the end of the movie, Xiao Run and Ning Rui'an met for the last time on a mountain on the outskirts of S City.
At this time, Xiao Run had a vicissitudes on his face and an unshaven beard. He didn't have the demeanor of Mr. Xiao in the movie at all.
Ning Rui'an's windbreaker flapped in the wind, he picked up a cigarette, and stared at Xiao Run as if looking at prey.
Xiao Run is asking him to let him go.
"Mr. Xiao, don't you think it's too late to say this at this time?" Ning Rui'an bent down with a playful look, "To be honest, it's still very interesting to play with you. If you are gone, I will really regret it."
"But... would you like to be my dog?"
Live audience:"……"
What kind of wolf word is this?
But I have to say that even if such a bad line was uttered by Ning Rui'an's face, there was no sense of disobedience at all.
But Xiao Run obviously wouldn't accept it.
He stared at Ning Rui'an fiercely: "I bless you, you will be like me in the future."
"Do you think you can keep people in your palm? Ambition can never be filled."
Ning Ruian didn't take her words to heart.
The moment Ning Ruian drove away, there was a vague gunshot behind him, but unfortunately it was covered by the sound of the car and could not be heard clearly.
But the audience clearly saw a trace of regret flashing across Ning Ruian's eyes on the screen.
Without Xiao Run's constraints, Ning Rui'an's career became bigger and bigger, and became more and more radical. In the past, there was another Xiao Run who was worthy of his vigilance. After Xiao Run disappeared, Ning Rui'an became more and more public, and he no longer suppressed his feelings. Ambitious, but lost the rationality of forbearance.
Money became his plaything, he manipulated the fate of others wantonly, and eventually became a plaything of money.
Until the end of the movie, the screen became dark again, and in the center of the screen, the four characters "Land of Money" slowly emerged. The black font was so thick that it made people feel very uncomfortable, just like the feeling of this movie.
No one has a happy ending, when a person stares into the abyss, the abyss also stares into him, whether it is Ning Rui'an or Xiao Run is no exception.
They are prisoners in the cage of money, and they will never turn over.
When the movie finished, the scene remained silent.
Is the story depressing?Actually not.
But just like the feeling of the story, the hearts of the audience are gradually affected by the plot, and they are also gradually falling into the atmosphere created by the crew.
So until now, the audience at the scene has not recovered.
"The Kingdom of Money" is such a story?
"The Kingdom of Money" is exactly such a story!
It is a movie that makes the audience feel chilled after watching it. It can't be called abuse, but it seems... somewhere in the sky, there is a pair of eyes staring at the characters in the movie, making them marionettes. moving forward on the track.
Xiao Run was not a winner, and neither was Ning Ruian.
The opening of the movie was not good, but slowly, the audience was attracted by the plot, and there were more and more wonderful scenes, and they were completely caught in the plot and couldn't extricate themselves.
"It's no wonder that Gu Yu himself gave "Land of Money" a high score, Yan Xiuzhen is willing to be cruel." A film critic said with emotion, "It's really a dare to shoot, a dare to act."
"They have their own ideas." "Roger Mystery" smiled, "Then again, without such a movie, how can we have the inspiration to write a manuscript?"
"That's true. I'm full of inspiration now, and I'll write an article for him when I get back at night."
