In the dim movie hall, not only the main creative team, but also the actors and fans who came to watch the premiere were nervous.
Among the domestic films in the same period, the pre-sale box office of "Time Talker" was almost the bottom, and the screening rate of the national theaters was less than 10%.
It can be said that it is the least favored one among the New Year's Day movies.
If the next feature film is still of a low-to-medium level, then the box office future of this movie will be over at a glance.
Ji Li's fans sat in their seats, their eyes fixed on the big screen in front of them. It was clearly the cold winter in December, but they were so nervous that their palms were about to sweat—
Strictly speaking, "Time Talker" is Ji Li's third film and television work after his debut.
Ji Li became popular thanks to the two roles of Song Zhao and Xie Yan, but the entertainment industry is a place with fast updates, and popularity is a luxury consumable.
Once an actor has no continuous exposure of his works, he will be easily eliminated by the market.
Ji Lizang has been filming for the past few months, and the statistics on Weibo have declined. In fact, die-hard fans are waiting for him to make another hit with his new movie.
After all, as long as the movie is successful, the box office performance can still be directly linked to Ji Li!
"Please, please, be sure to work hard."
"Please, if this movie really sucks, Ji Li Zai Zai will definitely be the one most ridiculed by the outside world."
After all, at the moment when Ji Li was the most popular, he was once called a "top-level reserve" by the outside world, but he must not "crash" halfway!
Fang Yue heard the voices of discussion coming from around her, obviously two fans of the Ji family.
She still couldn't hold back, and concealed her 'CP fan' attribute and said, "No, we have to believe Jili, he has never let us down."
Even if it's just the third male movie, even if the current pre-sale box office is poor, he will definitely counterattack and become a dark horse for the outside world to see!
Ji Li has such a 'popular' physique!
"That's right!"
The three star chasing girls looked at each other, and the tension in their hearts dissipated at the same time, and they were suddenly full of expectations for the next movie.
Since Ji Li made his debut, he has encountered many setbacks, but every time he fights more and more bravely, turning adversity into a favorable situation.
This time, he will definitely be able to stage a counterattack myth!
After a series of titles from film and television companies, the movie finally officially started playing.
At the beginning, it is a depressing and tragic dark tone.
The torrential rain fell on thousands of tombstones, as if a tragic song of fate had been smashed.
The black umbrellas piled up in the camera fluttered in a panic, and the guests who came to express their condolences were frightened by something, and they were running away in a panic——
Suddenly, a thin figure was struggling to push away the crowd, "Give way! Everyone!"
The simple words were a pleading tearing at the throat, and the desperate crying hidden in it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The camera turned 180 degrees, revealing the face of the visitor, who was Xiang Suian played by Ji Li.
The first shot of a character in the movie is not the male lead and the female lead, nor the second male lead and the second female lead, but Ji Li, the third male lead
However, before Ji Li fans were surprised, they were shocked by the next change in the other party's eyes—
From being unbelievable at the beginning, it eventually became hopeless.
The slightly dimmed eyes revealed the character's inner emotions and infected everyone present!
Such a change only took five or six seconds.
This acting is so awesome!
This empathy ability is too powerful!
"What's going on? What happened?" As soon as questions like this popped up in everyone's minds, the next scene gave them the answer—
Right in front of Xiang Suian, Cheng Yu, played by Feng Cheng, showed cold hatred in his eyes, holding a bloody sharp knife in his hand.
—tick.
The camera pans down with the drops of blood.
Cheng Yu was stepping hard on a man in a suit who had fallen to the ground. The man was begging helplessly, and a steady stream of blood gushed out from the stabbed abdomen.
Washed by the torrential rain, the flowing blood bloomed a magnificent and poignant picture in front of the tombstone.
Until this time, the four characters of the movie title 'Time Lobbyist' appeared on the screen.
Everyone held their breath in unison, and the shock and curiosity in their hearts were infinitely magnified after this opening plot.
Blood at the beginning
Where are the youth movies and how are they performed? Exciting, exciting!
"Oh my god, isn't it a movie about youth? Is this the opening?"
"What's going on between Ji Li and Feng Cheng's characters? I haven't seen this scene in the trailer before!"
"It's so exciting! The content of this movie is definitely not simple!"
Slight discussions sounded from all directions, and after the rendering and foreshadowing of the atmosphere at the beginning, everyone's expectations and curiosity about this movie were completely raised.
Wang Zhang, who was sitting in the first row, pursed his lips in satisfaction when he heard the commotion behind him.
Just wait, the fun has just begun!
The picture suddenly flashed to white, Xiang Suian struggled to wake up from the bed, he looked at the calendar on the wall, and murmured miserably, "...has it started again?"
The gears of fate were turned back, and time was frozen back to seven years ago.
"Is this a flashback shooting technique?"
"Is it reincarnation?"
Everyone guessed a lot, but they had to suppress their curiosity and continue to look down.
From past market experience, if youth dramas want to be popular, eye-catching is still an extremely crucial element.
At this point, the casting of the movie is still very reliable.
As soon as the male trio of Feng Cheng, Wei Lai and Ji Li appeared on stage, the female fans cheered enthusiastically in the auditorium.
Handsome, so handsome!
The perverse and unruly school bully, the taciturn academic god, the well-behaved and gentle good student, three handsome guys of different types, standing together makes people feel pleasing to the eye.
I don't know who yelled bitterly, "Damn, why did I only have crooked melons when I was a student! As long as there is a handsome guy who belongs to me, it's okay!"
This sentence immediately detonated the laughter of the star chasing girls.
"Who wouldn't?"
"There are not many requirements, just look like Ji Li! My sister's cutie, Ma Ma's sweetheart..."
Hearing these remarks, Ji Li couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, but his eyes still focused on the big screen.
Soon, the story ushered in the first small climax—Xiang Sui'an came home from school and saw his stepfather brutally tortured his mother.
As soon as the veteran actor Wei Guofu appeared on the screen, many viewers gasped.
help!
Childhood shadows are here!
Why is Mr. Wei acting as a domestic violence man again
Not only that, but everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that the actor who played Xiang's mother was the actress Song Chenxing
What happened to the crew's announcement
Obviously there are so many big names! Why didn't you publicize it before!
As soon as the fans' puzzled thoughts arose, they were interrupted by the voice from the movie.
Suppressed whimpers, bursting yells, and the sound of a heavy belt being whipped... Wei Guofu and Song Chenxing, a pair of powerful actors, immediately brought the audience into the horror of "domestic violence" atmosphere.
Under Xiang Mu's weak begging, Xiang Suian only struggled and hesitated for a moment, then quickly went back to the room, closed the door and locked it.
There was a new round of beatings outside, and he sat in front of the desk indifferently, like a stranger who stayed out of it the whole time.
Such indifference made many viewers frown.
Xiang Suian, what's the matter with you
That's your mother! Now she is tied up and beaten by beasts! Shouldn't you go and save her? go!
Wang Peng, who was in the guest seat, saw this scene and thought he had found an excellent 'criticism' material.
Tsk tsk, Ji Li can't do it, just relying on his expressionless wooden acting skills, how did you call him a new generation of acting niche
That's right, a young man like him will definitely not be able to handle the two old dramas!
At that time, you can try your best to black out his acting skills in the movie reviews!
With such stinking thoughts, Wang Peng continued to watch the next plot with a sense of criticism.
Xiang Sui sat quietly at the table, and silently took out his test paper. He stroked the curled corners with his palm, but his shoulders trembled unnaturally.
The fragile test paper was torn suddenly, and a tear fell on the poorly printed handwriting, smearing a heavy black.
The camera panned up, revealing Xiang Suian's red eyes filled with tears.
He had already clenched his fists tightly to prevent himself from crying. The bottomless despair all over his body instantly touched everyone present.
Obviously without a single line, everyone understood Xiang Sui'an's inner cry for help.
They blamed the boy wrongly.
Xiang Suian is so thin, how could he beat his stepfather who is strong and strong? It's not that he doesn't want to save, but that he can't do anything!
I'm afraid this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened to the mother and the child. It should be that no one can really save them from the fire and water.
The audience wanted to understand this, and waited anxiously for the next development.
After all, Xiang Suian couldn't hold back, and rushed out to protect his mother with desperate courage.
"Go away! Don't touch my mother!"
The boy's long-suppressed outburst was exchanged for even more cruel treatment by the devil's stepfather.
The timid girls didn't dare to look at it anymore. They covered their red eyes, and the sound of cursing and whipping intertwined in their ears, making their hearts throbbing with pain.
Xiang Suian passed out, and the old family photo that fell from his pocket immediately made everyone cry.
The expressions of the male audience were equally serious, and many even gritted their teeth at Wei Guofu's performance.
I bother!
Beating your wife, beating your children, is this still a person
Everyone was still immersed in anger and grief, but the plot did not give them a chance to breathe.
The camera turned suddenly, and returned to the alley in front of the house.
The same calls for help and violence came from inside the house, another round of domestic violence.
Unlike the script, which separates the front and rear lines, the film connects the two time and space story clues together through ingenious lens connection, and keeps pace with each other.
But this time, Xiang Suian didn't have the timidity he had before, he picked up a brick and entered the house, and dunked on the scumbag stepfather!
The scumbag was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground, no longer having the strength to commit violence.
Xiang Suian picked up the blood-stained belt slowly, and slapped the other party again and again, the viciousness in his eyes slowly gathered, it was an aura more terrifying than that of Wei Guofu during the 'domestic violence'!
The audience's extremely suppressed emotions were released at this moment, and they couldn't help applauding from the bottom of their hearts—
Well done!
This kind of domestic violence man should be beaten! It should be beaten to death!
It didn't take long for everyone to understand everything from the conversation between mother and son.
It turned out that Xiang's mother, who was about to escape, was caught by the scumbag and was brutally beaten again.
In the end, Xiang's mother left Xiang Suian cruelly, and she escaped from this painful home in the dark. Xiang Suian stood alone in front of the house, the reluctance and helplessness in his eyes hurt everyone.
"How can this be? Don't let An An go!"
"Why does Jili always play this kind of pitiful? My heart is not made of iron!"
"The same scene, the same role, how does Ji Li play a completely different feeling! It's too strong."
"This family of three is playing on the same stage, and the people who watch it are too excited, right? Ji Li is awesome, and he doesn't lose his aura in front of the old actors."
Feng Cheng and Wei Lai looked at each other, completely convinced by these evaluations!
As leading actors, they naturally understand Ji Li's acting skills.
Compared with the messy shooting scene at the beginning, the impact of the tapes presented on the screen is thousands of times higher!
If there is any actor who is naturally suitable for the big screen? That Ji Li must be one of them.
He can use the screen to magnify any subtle expression to produce a 100% effect, pulling ordinary audiences to empathize and sink together.
Ji Li is definitely the best among their young actors, and the future has unlimited possibilities.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed in the dark, "Damn it, it's only been fifteen minutes?"
With a total duration of eighty minutes, the plot was so compact from the very beginning
This movie is also amazing!
Although Ji Li is only the third male lead, there are certain reasons for Wang Zhang to put his plot at the forefront.
If it is said that everyone's initial expectation for the movie is only 50 points, then under Ji Li's interpretation, the subsequent expectation value can be raised to 80 points!
After watching this clip, Wang Peng felt his face was swollen.
Where is Ji Li's poor acting skills? It's too good to be true!
No, no, no, this black spot is completely unfounded, he has to open his eyes to look for other problems.
The plot slowly unfolds—
The hero and heroine know each other, meet and love each other, which is so sweet that people can't help laughing.
When they were young, they agreed to work hard for each other, but in the end they couldn't resist the repeated fate. They parted in the vast crowd, and when they met again, they were already separated by yin and yang.
Only then did everyone realize that the funeral at the beginning was actually the heroine's.
And the core character hidden in the script is actually the male Sanxiang Suian.
In his reincarnations again and again, he tried to change everyone's misfortune, but the tragedies arranged by fate followed one after another, and he refused to let anyone off easily.
In the end, Xiang Suian still watched his friends suffer misfortune one by one, and he still failed to save the hero from being imprisoned.
The end of the movie returns to the opening scene.
The hero Cheng Yu was taken away by the police who arrived. It seemed that all the tragedies had come to an end.
"I'm like a lobbyist who is out of time, trying to fulfill each of them in reincarnation again and again."
"But in the end, I can't save others, let alone myself."
After Ji Li's deep narration, the big screen went dark.
The movie seems to be over.
"There is no reincarnation this time? What's going on?"
"Why has An'an been refusing to let him go? In fact, after reincarnation so many times, he should know that he can't change the ending."
The sobbing of the audience has not stopped, and many people are still asking questions.
Yes, why
Xiang Sui'an was clearly beaten to the ground by reality, and still insists on going his own way
Is it possible for this cycle to end
Just when everyone was puzzled, the big screen unexpectedly lit up again.
Sirens pierced the sky.
Xiang Suian looked at the police car driving away, and the words of Cheng Yu's exhortation before he was taken away lingered in his mind.
"Suian, leave me alone, live your own life well."
The movie screen suddenly retreated rapidly, and the scenes of the two people getting along day and night in the past flashed—
When Cheng Yu left excitedly on his bicycle, Xiang Suian looked into his eyes;
When Cheng Yu knelt in front of the two old spirit tablets and wept bitterly, he looked at Sui'an;
When Cheng Yu proudly announced that he was in love, Xiang Suian's eyes;
Cheng Yu's look at Xiang Suian when he was down in the rented house after breaking up;
When Cheng Yu raised a knife and seriously injured someone at the funeral, Xiang Suian's eyes;
…
The hidden and unspeakable feelings are almost uttered at this moment, and finally fall back into a reply to Xiang Suian.
"Ayu, it's time for me to live my own life well."
The film came to an end, and everyone was immersed in the final reversal, completely unable to recover.
Is that so
Xiang Suian's feelings for Cheng Yu are actually like this? Is this hidden too deep? If it weren't for the eye editing at the end, they wouldn't be able to see it at all!
Not to mention the audience, even Feng Cheng who played Cheng Yu was dumbfounded.
He suddenly looked at Ji Li, who was two places away, and said in a low voice, "Ji Li, do you know the last plot? Why wasn't it written in the script?"
Ji Li hooked his lips, smiled without saying a word.
This is the deepest foreshadowing that he has planted since the first day of filming after discussing with Director Wang Zhang.
Feng Cheng has always been joking, he raised his eyebrows and teased, "Ji Li, you really fell in love with me when you were filming, right? I can consider dating and try."
As soon as the words fell, Feng Cheng met a sharp gaze, "You seem to be very leisurely, the male lead?"
"..."
The moment he recognized the other person's appearance, Feng Cheng lost half of his soul in fright, "Mr. Qin, Qin Li?"
It's over, when will my boss come? And he was actually sitting next to Ji Li!
He was talking nonsense just now. Teacher Qin Li doesn't think there is something wrong with his sexual orientation, does he? He was just joking with Ji Li, he is really straight!
Feng Cheng was thinking anxiously, and another strange thought popped up——
its not right
Teacher Qin Li looked at him, why did he seem to be wary of a rival in love
Fortunately, Qin Li's death gaze didn't last long, and he left the venue quickly before the lights in the hall came on.
After the ending song was played, the theater finally returned to light.
I don't know who shouted first, "Good movie!"
This brief but true evaluation immediately received applause from all.
It has to be said that the level of editing after Wang Zhang's personal supervision is completely online, and the rhythm of the shots and the nodes of the soundtrack are arranged seamlessly.
In the five-member group starring, none of them's acting skills are lagging behind.
Feng Cheng and Wei Lai are evenly matched, and they performed very well in the scenes where their emotions exploded.
The crying scenes of the two actresses touched people's hearts more and more than the other, causing many audiences to cry again and again. They couldn't stop at all, and the tissues they brought were all used up!
For a movie like this, if it doesn't have a hundred points, it must have ninety-five points!
Wang Peng, who watched the show with colored glasses, had a hard time. To be honest, he was already convinced by this movie, and it was the first time that he felt that "just bad money" was against his conscience.
The creators were once again invited to the stage, ready to be interviewed by the media.
Only then did the media understand the purpose of the premiere schedule.
Because only after seeing the feature film in person, can they admit from the bottom of their hearts that "Time Talker" is a movie that is completely above the passing line.
It is different from ordinary youth movies, the storyline is more novel, and there are no obvious shortcomings in the friendship line and love line.
I have to mention that the foreshadowing in the movie is so wonderfully arranged, it's totally worth doing it again and again!
The bottom of the pre-sale results
No, the outside world has misjudged and completely underestimated this movie!
As long as the follow-up word-of-mouth can be fermented, the box office champion on New Year's Day is still up for grabs!
In the audience seats, some fans cried out, "Ji Li, you are the best, your role interpretation is great!"
Because the pre-sale box office is not good enough, during this period of time, black fans are bouncing around on Weibo—
"The success of the little beggar Song Zhao is due to the two leading actors, Qin Li and Yuan Jifei, and the success of the villain Xie Yan is due to the perfection of the characters in the script.
Ji Li just has facial paralysis who doesn't know how to act. Without the support of the general trend this time, the film must have been a mess.
Tsk tsk, look at the pre-sale box office, before it's released, it's already too much for my mother to recognize. "
But now the facts are in front of us, Ji Li used the least number of scenes in "Time Talker" in exchange for the most brilliant and dazzling performance.
The big stone in the hearts of fans has fallen, and they are looking forward to the official release after midnight tomorrow.
Just wait and see.
With this role, Ji Li will definitely gain praise and recognition from the outside world! Crazy slap black fans in the face!
…
The media interview lasted for nearly half an hour before Ji Li returned to his single lounge. As soon as he entered the door, he was pushed against the wall forcefully and gently.
Qin Li grabbed the back of his lover's head and kissed her without saying a word.
"Qin Li... woo..."
Just as Ji Li made a vague sound, Qin Li seized the opportunity to pry open his lips and teeth, and licked every place with his nimble tongue, causing bursts of numbness.
Ji Li simply stopped struggling, and actively and shyly kissed Qin Li's arms deeply.
The hot breathing of the two blended together, the sound of the heartbeat was like a drum, and the desire for each other burst out undisguised.
There was a wave of emotion in Ji Li's eyes, and he let out an unbearable moan. He always felt that Qin Li's kiss was indescribably ferocious and tough.
Fortunately, the other party quickly discovered his discomfort, and retreated slightly to give him some breathing space.
Qin Li turned his head and kissed his hot earlobe, and asked word by word, "Did you like Feng Cheng very much when you were filming this movie?"
"..."
Ji Li was stunned, and the last sliver of reason pulled him back to reality, "What?"
Qin Li met his eyes, and said with a sour taste when he spoke again, "On the first day of filming, your Weibo was connected to him."
"I ate hot pot with him, and he took a picture of you in his arms."
Every time I say a word, the sour smell in the air becomes stronger.
Ji Li had long forgotten such trifles, and seeing that Qin Li remembered it so clearly, he immediately snorted triumphantly, "How old are you, and you're still jealous of such a child?"
Qin Li was obviously dissatisfied with his answer, and bit his lower lip as punishment, "Then who do you like?"
"Ask knowingly." Ji Li stroked Qin Li's Adam's apple, and replied seriously with a smile, "I like you."
After saying that, he suddenly leaned forward with bad intentions, and as expected, the other party suddenly let out an uncomfortable and suppressed sound.
Qin Li met his lover's 'provocative' and successful eyes, and kissed his lips with warmth, "Baby, don't grind me on purpose, be careful to ask for trouble."
Ji Li glanced down, thinking to himself—
Isn't it normal for lovers to have a relationship if they have confirmed each other? Anyway, he has been greedy for Qin Li's body for a long time, so it's not a loss no matter what.
Qin Li hugged him tightly and teased him, "Are you satisfied with what you see? Do you want to try?"
Ji Li's cheeks burned.
In a lounge backstage at a movie theater? Not suitable.
But think about it carefully, why does it feel a little exciting
"What's wrong?" Qin Li noticed his wink.
Ji Li put away his inexplicably turbulent thoughts, and played sloppy eyes, "I have nothing to do with Feng Cheng, and I'm not interested in him either."
Those eyes are the natural expression of his character after entering the play.
Rather than saying what he has to Feng Cheng, it is better to say what Mu Suian, the screenwriter in real life, has to 'A Yu'.
It is said that there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers.
It is up to the audience to understand whether it is a friendship of sharing weal and woe or a one-sided love.
Ji Li pulled him to sit on the sofa and asked about the business.
"You Lixing should have the right to speak in terms of movie promotion, right? What's going on with this movie now?"
Although it is a temporary file, the early publicity is too weak. In addition to their starring roles, there are obviously so many famous guest stars, why don't they show it for publicity
"The producer is unreliable. I just asked Oak Star to take back the right to announce and distribute the movie two days ago."
The producer said that during the early stage of filming, Oak Star's investment funds were almost used up, and they really had no money for follow-up publicity.
Seems like an excuse for not doing anything.
Qin Li didn't want to get involved in the cooperation with them, so he asked Li Xing and the person in charge of the producer to sign a supplementary agreement, taking the sovereignty over the film's announcement and distribution.
Of course, if the movie can become a big hit, it will be Qin Li and his subordinate Li Xing who will make the most of the money.
Qin Li played with his lover's fingertips fondly, and asked, "Baby, you said, a movie with an 80-point score or a movie with a 50-point score, which one will look better in counterattack?"
Ji Li raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood the meaning of the other party, "Are you going to use the marketing method of 'dark horse counterattack'?"
The quality of their movie itself is not bad, as long as the word of mouth can be improved, and the word of mouth can drive the follow-up box office...
Such a benign marketing method is completely applicable.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements." Qin Li pinched his lover's earlobe and assured him calmly, "I will give it the applause it deserves for every work of yours."
Qin Li couldn't wait to let everyone know what an excellent actor his lover was.
Ji Li chuckled twice, lazily laying in Qin Li's arms, as if enjoying such a moment of tenderness.
Suddenly, a dark light flashed across Ji Li's eyes, as if he had thought of something important.
"Qin Li, I want to pour back the dirty water some of my colleagues secretly poured on me now."
