At midnight on August 8, 3018, hundreds of millions of fans gathered in movie theaters in China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany... all major countries in the galaxy.
For fans of "Invasion of Darkness", this novel has been written for decades, and it is no longer just a novel, but a world that haunts them. The pre-sale of movie tickets on the Internet was sold out as early as half a month after the first sale. Until now, movie fans have formed a long queue in front of the cinema, holding their e-tickets, waiting to enter and watch.
United States, New York.
"I've been waiting for two years, and the first part is finally out!"
"You are only two years old? Since I was nine years old and watched "Invasion of Darkness" for the first time, I have been thinking about when movies and TV series will be released! Although animations are good, they are still not as immersive as real people. I have been waiting for more than twenty years!"
Huaxia, the capital star.
"My goddess Zhashia is An Shaoyang! My goddess Zhashia is An Shaoyang! It's An Shaoyang!"
"Hahahaha, it's great that Raymond can play Rand. Although I like Oliver better, Raymond is also very handsome!"
London, England.
"That... sir, can you resell your ticket to me? I am willing to pay a high price... no! I am willing to buy it ten times the price! I only grabbed one ticket, and I gave it to my son, but I can't go with him to see it."
"Oh, this is really sad news. My dear lady, if you believe me, I will help you to babysit your child."
"Sir, this..."
"Sorry, it's impossible for me to give you the premiere ticket of "Invasion of Darkness", even if it's a hundred times the price!"
Even though the film schedule in the entire galaxy has exceeded 80%, and it is still a zero-point premiere that should be dismal, the global attendance rate of "Dark Attack" has reached an astonishing 96%!
In Huaxia Yangfangxing, tens of thousands of fans stayed in the cinema early, waiting for the premiere. All the main creators of "Invasion of Darkness"—including director Alan Duo, heroine An Shaoyang, and actor Raymond—have come here to share some experiences during filming with fans.
It was late at night, but no one felt sleepy. The interaction on the scene was very good, and there were bursts of applause.
In the past, when An Shaoyang participated in any premiere event, countless fans were reluctant to part with her, and even hoped to communicate with her for a while, and it didn't matter to watch the movie later. But for "Invasion of Darkness", which has a large number of fans of the original book, although many fans in the movie theater also wanted to spend more time with their goddess, after hesitating, they still chose to watch the movie first.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Ma Minghao is a diehard fan of An Shaoyang. This time he heard that An Shaoyang actually came to Yangfangxing. He spent a lot of effort to buy a ticket for the premiere, just to see the goddess. But why did you look at it, and suddenly the goddess stepped down, and the movie is about to start? !
No matter how famous "Invasion of Darkness" is, there are always people who haven't seen it. Just like the four great classics that have been passed down in China for thousands of years, not everyone has read them. Ma Minghao had never read this novel, nor cared about the news about this movie, he just wanted to watch An Shaoyang.
So after An Shaoyang left, Ma Minghao lost interest, and just waited for the movie to be played, and just regarded it as watching a goddess movie. All the people sitting next to him were loyal fans of "Invasion of Darkness". They talked excitedly about the plot in the novel, but Ma Minghao couldn't understand it at all, and didn't care.
After a while, a book fan asked, "Do you like Zashia or Elena the most?"
Ma Minghao was stunned for a moment, and replied with a strange expression: "I like An Shaoyang."
The book fan immediately nodded in understanding: "Oh, oh, you like Zhashia! That's great, we are all people who like Zhashia here. Look at the people sitting over there, all of them are Ai Lian Na's fans. Tsk, Elena is just a female No. 2, and she is not as good-looking as Zhashia, and her strength is not high. Can't compare!"
Ma Minghao was taken aback for a moment: "...then how many people do we have here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the movie fans sitting around him, at least hundreds of them, turned their heads and shouted, "Me!"
Shocked Ma Minghao: "...!!!"
It can make so many book fans love it crazily, so it can be seen that this novel must have its excellence. Ma Minghao no longer dared to underestimate it, he waited earnestly for the movie to be played, secretly looking forward to the content of the story.
Two minutes later, "Invasion of Darkness" will be released simultaneously across the galaxy!
Magnificent movie special effects, realistic picture texture! When the flying fish slid across the sea, the water splashed, and the movie fans sitting in the front row hurriedly wiped their faces, almost thinking that water had splashed on their faces; when the Yingyue Forest was destroyed by a fire, countless book fans were angry Gritting his teeth tightly, he scolded the shameless Shenting in a low voice!
Those who have read the novel are fascinated by the beautiful scenes, as if they have witnessed the birth of the world that they have imagined countless times; those who have not read the novel are gradually attracted by the exquisite production and smooth and compact plot. Understand the background of the story step by step, and understand such a continent invaded by dark forces.
An Shaoyang's acting skills have never been doubted by anyone, and Raymond's performance has also moved many people, as well as the beautiful and beautiful elf princess, the resolute and righteous dwarf craftsman...
In the past thousand years, there have been many excellent fantasy series. They are usually only divided into three situations. The first is pure western fantasy, with human knights, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. as the main components; the second is pure oriental fantasy, with various cultivation systems. Create a graceful and gorgeous fairy world.
As for the third type, it is the original world.
However, this kind of world usually cannot get rid of the shadow of the former two. Basically, it is just a different concept, but there is no essential change.
The reason why "Invasion of Darkness" has won the crazy support of so many book fans is because the author has created a unique fantasy world combining the East and the West.
Orientals see that there will be no cultural generation gap, and neither will Westerners.
And because of the wonderful and novel setting, this world is full of unknowns. Whenever you think you know enough about this world, the author will come up with a novel setting, which will make you fall into "wow, you can still play like this" again. emotions, can only keep admiring.
Ma Minghao is in such a state.
When he saw that there were elves with oriental faces in the world, he was stunned. After watching it again, he couldn't help but be attracted by the rich plot and the huge world setting, as if he really felt the existence of a world.
It is there, maybe in another space, another dimension, but it is undeniable that this world is too large and rich, no matter how you think about it, you can’t find its loopholes, and you even feel that it is really a world. whole world.
A total of two hours of the movie, almost no one left. At the end of the movie, the protagonist Rand was captured by the people of Shenting, and Zhashia was hunted down with scars and fled to the dark and secluded swamp in the mainland to find the broken sword.
From the beginning to the end, Chu Yan appeared in this short five minutes. At the beginning, it was a pale young man sitting on a tree with his eyes closed and sleeping peacefully. Later, he was a lonely sword spirit full of extravagant hopes and expectations. At the end, when his fingers slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, his body slowly disappeared into the air. At that time, his phrase "I've been waiting for you for thirty thousand years" seemed to be still echoing throughout the cinema, unable to dissipate for a long time.
Such a gentle smile moved Zahia very much, and made many emotional audiences in the cinema sob softly.
Ma Minghao is not crying yet, but he also feels panicked in his heart, because the feeling of "living for you, dying for you" is too crazy, if you are not crazy, you can't live, if you think about life, if you think about death, you may become obsessed To the extreme, to have such strong feelings.
At the end of the movie, it was Zhashiya who pulled the bully up from the ground and pointed her sword at the sky.
A heroic female elf with a heroic spirit that would not be lost to any man. She has firm eyes and scars on her face, but nothing can shake her heart.
"Shenting, Zhashia, the captain of the Dark Moon Division's assault team in Yingyue Forest, declares war on you!"
In the entire Yingyue Forest, there was only this last elf left.
Thunderstorms descended from the sky, as thick as water tanks, bright red and glaring, as if they wanted to smash this elf into pieces. However, under the attack of thunder and thunderbolts, the black-haired elf walked towards the west step by step with a cold face. She walked out of the dark and secluded swamp. She was about to declare war on the world and avenge all the dead friends, relatives, and compatriots.
The camera zoomed out suddenly, and Zhashia became a small black spot, and Anyouze gradually disappeared. Between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, there is only a piece of scorched land, and the entire continent is peaceful. The picture quickly flashes across beautiful forests, clear lakes, beautiful mermaids and muscular orcs.
This seems to be just a war between the gods and a lonely elf, but they don't know that outside the mainland, the dark power has turned into a cold skeleton, smiling coldly at all the audience outside the camera, strange and terrifying .
So far, the first movie of "Dark Attack" is completely over!
It begins with Rand's escape and ends with Zahia's declaration of war.
Seeing this ending, countless audiences cried out.
"What kind of ending is this? This is a sudden ending? Don't bring such a thing! I want to watch the goddess kill all directions!!!"
"Although as a man, I'm very dissatisfied with Rand's behavior. He actually relies on a woman to save him! But I have to say... ah Zahia is so handsome! An Shaoyang is so handsome! He just has to be this handsome I want to ask Zhashiya to save me, I fell into the vortex of love! Zhashiya save me quickly!!!”
"The elf princess is so beautiful, but how could she die so miserably, and I, Feng Hao, have been abused countless times in novels, and now I have to be abused again in the movie! Feng bully Saigao! Chu Yanyan is so high!!!”
At the end of the premiere, the popularity of "Invasion of Darkness" has not weakened at all, but has risen crazily. On Skynet, excited movie fans expressed their joy to other fans who didn't get tickets. The first round of movie reviews came out soon, with a high score of 9.2 points on all major movie review websites in the galaxy!
The movie is still showing, and the box office statistics on the first day have not yet been released. After Raymond attended the premiere ceremony, he hurried back to the A-2 film and television planet by spaceship the next day. Many people in the crew of "Heard the Wind" congratulated him, but after thanking him with a smile, he came quietly. Beside Chu Yan.
The makeup artist was touching up Chu Yan's makeup, which made him unable to turn his head to look at Lei Meng. He could only smile and say, "The box office of "Invasion of Darkness" must be very good. Congratulations, Lei Meng."
Lei Meng laughed and said, "Chu Yan, congratulations to you too, you are also a special guest actor in this movie."
Chu Yan smiled and didn't reply, but Lei Meng continued, "Do you know what shocked me the most when I attended the premiere at Yangfangxing yesterday?"
Hearing this, Chu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and after a while he said, "What? Could it be the terrible enthusiasm of Huaxia movie fans?"
Lei Meng shook his head lightly, then turned on his communicator, projected a photo in mid-air, and showed it to Chu Yan.
The moment his sight touched the photo, Chu Yan's pupils trembled slightly. After a while, he raised the corners of his lips, showing a helpless and doting smile, and said in a low voice, "Thank you so much for taking such a photo. Show me the photo."
Raymond waved his hand immediately: "You're welcome, I think any celebrity will be very happy to have such fans. Your Huaxia fans are very enthusiastic and polite. I think when I return to the United States, I will I will always recall the scene of yesterday, whether it is An Shaoyang's fans or yours, it is really fresh in my memory."
Soon, the field manager came to Raymond to put on makeup and prepare for the afternoon shooting.
This photo had already been sent to Chu Yan by Lei Meng. At this moment, Chu Yan lowered his eyes slightly, looked at it seriously, and couldn't help chuckling. In the photo, in a corner of the cinema, lanterns with the words "Chu Yan" and "Chu Yanyan" suspended above the heads of countless people, interacting quietly and obediently with the guests on the stage.
There is Chu Yan in this movie, so their fans can come to the premiere and express their love for Chu Yan. Even if Chu Yan is not present, they will wait here quietly, silently expressing their joy.
Lei Meng said that these fans never called Chu Yan's name from the beginning to the end, but just sat quietly. Because Chu Yan didn't come, it would be disrespectful to other guests if they shouted, but Lei Meng was shocked that a total of dozens of people could maintain such a good order.
After looking at it for a long time, at the end, Chu Yan opened his Weibo, posted the photo, and added a paragraph at the same time: [I'm working hard, I can't come to see you on the spot. Invasion of Darkness is a great movie and you guys are my biggest fans. [picture]]
