Chapter 113: false protagonist

Views:

After entering the screening hall and sitting down, Eric and Connery chatted a few words about the bottomless hype of "Dragon Killing" in the tabloids. Only then did the lights in the screening hall dim down, and the movie officially started playing.

Dalton, played by Richard Gere, is a bar watchman. After successfully driving a troublesome gangster out of the bar, he is spotted by Tillman, the owner of a bar in a small town outside Kansas City. The other party helped him to straighten out the increasingly chaotic crap bar.

In the first twenty minutes of the movie, there is nothing to watch, only bar fights and posing women can be seen everywhere. Richard Gere walked through the crowd with a cold face from the beginning, showing a look of "I'm awesome, you all It looks like an ant.

As an action movie, at least at the beginning, it should be played heartily to attract the audience's attention, right? But the tsundere screenwriter obviously disdains to do this, but just set up a scene in which the protagonist is scratched by a dagger with a dagger, and then he sews the wound himself, to show that the protagonist is different.

But this scene didn't resonate with many people, because Richard Gere was too calm, so calm that people thought he was sewing clothes, not stitching wounds, you should give it at least | Gritting his teeth and forbearance , unfortunately not at all. So even though the scene is bloody, Eric can still hear the crackle of popcorn being chewed by someone in the audience behind him.

Immediately afterwards, after arriving at the craps bar in a small town outside Kansas City, the protagonist still did not show any moves. After learning about the chaotic situation in the bar, the protagonist just called the staff for a small meeting and fired several Obedient staff, and then the bar became popular again, what the hell, even if you have a halo, it can't be so smooth sailing!

Finally, the booming business of the Craps Bar caught the attention of the town bully Visney. He asked his subordinates to ask the protagonist out and had a soliciting conversation. He wanted to occupy the Craps Bar, but the protagonist refused of course.

Then, after more than eighty minutes, the movie finally ushered in a climax, or the director finally remembered that this is an action movie. After Vesney was rejected by the protagonist, he took a group of his men to the craps bar to make a fuss, causing a conflict. Although the director jerky mixed in a few scenes of Chinese Kung Fu in this action scene, it is still a Western-style fighting style in which you punch me and kick me. The person's reaching out, um, although the action was not as crisp as that of the supporting role, it still beat the opponent to pieces.

The bully Wisney started to do evil everywhere in the small town, in order to show his status as the emperor of the small town and force the protagonist to submit.

First he burned down a convenience store whose owner often expressed dissatisfaction with him, then crushed the Ford Motor Market with a super four-legged car, and finally extended his black hand to the protagonist's companion who is also a teacher and friend. In the last ten minutes, the male protagonist finally Unbearable, he single-handedly killed Wisney's subordinates one after another, and finally reached Wisney's lair, fought with each other, and knocked Wisney down on the sofa.

Everyone thought that the protagonist would kill Visney decisively, and come to an end, and then at the end of the movie, he actually relented, and the other party smashed your place, killed your closest friend, and then you My heart softened.

What a tangled thing this is.

Just after the pseudo-protagonist Richard Gere was inspired by Jesus to spare Wisny, it is only natural that Wisny avenges his revenge and picks up a revolver.

Gunshots sounded!

The end of the film

Was it a tragedy

That's impossible!

Just when the life of the false protagonist is hanging by a thread, the real protagonist, a group of small town residents who have been oppressed by bullies for a long time, appears in time. A team of shotgun volleys unceremoniously kills the evil Wisney and saves the false protagonist.

So far, the two-hour 'action movie' has finally come to an end.

Before the lights in the auditorium were turned on, Eric heard the conversations of the audience around him.

"That four-legged bike is really domineering, Wei Er, how about we buy one too?"

"But this is Los Angeles, the police won't let this kind of car on the road at all, unless we go back to the ranch in Texas."

"Forget it, I won't go back if I die. When the old guy dies, I'll sell the farm, and then we can buy a nice house in Santa Monica."

"If Dad heard you say that, he would probably die of anger."

"Hey, Victor, how many songs did you recognize?"

""don't-throw-stones", "i-sold-my-soul", "on-the-road-again", by the way, the part where the blonde girl dances is "hoochie- Coochie-man, Neil, we don't even have to remember that, the soundtrack will definitely come out in a while."

"I just can't wait, the soundtrack is so good, I plan to go back and buy a few related albums."

As the lights came on, the sound of the auditorium became noisier, and Eric could only hear fragmentary comments.

"It's shit. I was deceived by the propaganda in the newspaper. I unsubscribed from the "Los Angeles Metropolis Daily" when I got back. I knew I would rather watch "Pretty Woman" again."

"Richard Gere is out of his mind that he would give up "The Wind and Moon" to play this crap movie."

"The fight is like a gangster fight, imitating Bruce Lee, Lee can kick a two-meter-high light bulb in the air, Richard Gere obviously can't shake a high whip, it's not as good as that villain's supporting role. "

"Although Richard Gere's performance is not outstanding, I think the movie is still good. The girls in it are very beautiful, and the music is also very good."

"It's not kind to be so mean after seeing so many beautiful couples."

"Hey, Wei... Eric, let's go." Jennifer Connelly, who was sitting next to Eric, noticed that the man had been listening to the conversation of the audience without disturbing him until the auditorium was empty. Only then did he gently pull Eric's cuff.

"Well," Eric came back to his senses, stood up, and asked as he walked out, "How do you feel about the movie?"

Jennifer shook her head in disappointment, took Eric's arm naturally, thought for a while and gave a two-word comment: "It's so noisy."

The two talked in a low voice and walked out of the theater together.

Werther, who played the paparazzi as a guest, was still guarding outside. He didn't know the duration of "Dragon Killing Battle". After 90 minutes, he stared at the exit of the screening hall without blinking, for fear that the movie would end suddenly and he would miss it. Eric and Jennifer Connelly.

Finally, almost two hours later, the audience came out of the screening hall one after another. Werther held up the camera and waited for more than two minutes, but Eric's voice was not seen.

"Shouldn't you miss it?" Werther murmured suspiciously. Just a little bit slack, he saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman walking out arm in arm.

In order to get the best results, Werther turned on the camera's flash recklessly.

Click-click-click-

The bright spotlight flashed several times in a row in the cinema hall, and Eric realized that something was wrong, and it was too late when he raised his hand in front of him.

Originally, the security guards of the movie theater would not care about the reporters wandering in the lobby. When the reporter was interviewing, it would also bring some publicity to the movie theater. But turning on the flash is different, it will cause some troubles to the customers watching the movie, so just after Werther pressed the shutter a few times, two security guards rushed over and asked Werther out.

Eric patted the overwhelmed Jennifer Connelly, gave the girl a reassuring look, looked around, and walked to the front desk of the screening hall.

"Hello, sir, is there... ah, you are that... Eric, wow, Mr. Williams, I didn't expect you to come to our cinema to watch a movie. My name is Linda, Linda Kraut." Front desk The little freckles on the tip of the girl Linda's nose lit up in excitement, and she stretched out her little hand with a nympho face, and shook Eric forcibly.

Eric withdrew his forced hand and said, "Okay, Linda, you must have noticed just now that I'm in some trouble, so can you take us out through another exit?"

"No problem, Mr. Williams, please follow me." Linda nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and led Eric to the back door, while chatting non-stop, asking various questions .

"Mr. Williams, is this lady your new girlfriend, she is so beautiful."

When Jennifer Connelly heard this question, she looked at Eric with expectation and concern.

Eric knew that there could only be one answer in this situation, otherwise it would embarrass the girls around him, so he nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

"Mr. Williams, when will the filming of "Dark War" start? I am your fan, and I will go to the cinema to support it as soon as possible."

"This has not been confirmed yet, but it will definitely be released in the summer."

"Mr. Williams, what movie did you go to see?"

"..."

If it wasn't for confirming the other party's occupation, Eric even wondered if the girl was a paparazzi. Less than two minutes away from the hall to the back, the girl named Linda asked more than ten questions like a cannonball. Eric has a need for others, so he can only try his best to give a decent answer.

"It's here," Linda pointed to the security door in front of her. Knowing that it was time to part, the girl summoned up her courage and said, "Mr. Williams, can you give me your autograph?"

"Of course," Eric nodded, "but I didn't bring a pen."

"I have it." Linda took out the pen in her breast pocket, touched the other pockets, found no paper, and finally raised her arm and said, "Mr. Williams, please sign it on my sleeve."

"Uh, okay." Eric held Linda's small arm with one hand, and quickly signed his name on the shirt fabric. Only then opened the back door and walked out of the cinema.
