The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 319: Haunted house movie

Views:

The movie of "Haunted Mansion" is released.

The cinema’s poster not only has the names of the four main actors, but also a line that reads “Guest appearance: Jian Jing”. The font size is not inferior to that of the main actors, which is quite impressive.

She suspected it had something to do with the upcoming filming of Devil May Cry 3.

Now the Devil series is already a very mature and highly popular IP. Actor Qi has signed for three seasons, and there is no shortage of actors for the supporting roles in other units.

Screenwriter Xu asked when the fourth part would be written, and Jian Jing told him very frankly: "It's postponed."

"Sleepwalking Girl" is not finished yet, so why do we need "Devil's 4"

Xu the screenwriter had no choice but to start writing four seasons. Anyway, as long as it did not involve the main line of demons and hunters, there was a lot of room for the branch unit cases.

Jian Jing felt that at the current rate, the series might be shot to the finale before she even started writing.

This kind of thing... is also normal.

Back to haunted house movies.

Honestly, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is not a real movie, but just a money-making production, and the audience is either fans of the haunted house or fans of the guests.

People don't have high psychological expectations. They just scroll through it on weekends for fun and to kill time.

When one takes a look at it, it turns out to be quite good.

After all, the scenes were shot in Seattle, not in a built-up studio or with special effects. The farm style on the other side of the ocean is real, and Robert's set design is also very well done, which immediately brings up the sense of immersion in the environment.

This is a key point for the audience to score: it has that authentic flavor!

Secondly, although the guests did have a script, the director still retained a little bit of integrity. They only had a rough script, which roughly knew the direction of the story, as well as the character conflicts in each link. The mechanisms and decryption parts were kept secret at first.

In this way, the guests' performances are more real and less acting, so it doesn't look so awkward.

Of course, if they get stuck, the director will give them a more detailed script to facilitate their performance and combine it with the plot contradictions - for example, the male and female protagonists have different ideas at the beginning and a dispute breaks out, but later they work together to solve the puzzle and develop feelings for each other.

In short, it's a routine.

There are also people who are responsible for supporting the main role, being the source of jokes, being tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and their characters are all clearly arranged.

Therefore, although the plot of the movie is a bit "fake", it avoids the cumbersomeness and boredom of variety shows, and the plot is more compact and exciting.

I can barely give it a 5 for most of it.

What really pulls the score up is the special effects, which is also the part that costs the most money in the film production - the monsters were made with the help of an American company, part props, part CG, and the close-ups are extremely realistic, not out of place at all.

The second point that the audience gave their ratings on was: the special effects of the variety show movie are better than those of a real horror movie, and it can be watched as a monster movie.

Finally, of course, it was "Miss Jane" who only appeared for two and a half minutes, didn't get a penny in pay, but still drew crazy points.

Just imagine, although the guests are handsome men and beautiful women, they can't help but crawl in the forest, confront monsters, fall into traps and escape, and at the end of the film they are all covered in mud and look miserable.

And what about Miss Jane? She rode in against the rising sun, killed the monster in an instant, and in the background, she looked indescribably heroic and radiant.

In the first part, Jian Jing didn't use any acting card and played the role in her true colors.

Audience rating: 7 points, including 3 points for plot, 1 point for setting, 2 points for special effects, and 1 point for Mr. Jian's solo performance.

There are quite a few people who agree with it.

Many of the online rants are written like this:

Weibo a:

Vote first and then comment

It's a pure variety show movie. The plot is not particularly bad. The actors are probably limited by the script, so it's not particularly awkward. The special effects and scenery are authentic. Praise +1

Teacher Jian's final appearance pulled the score up, so cool, I want to watch it again for her

Weibo b:

Please post the exclusive photo of Teacher Jian! I want the one with the horse!

Absolutely! If you follow an author, you will not only see her writing, producing plays, and appearing in police notices, but also

She's also in a movie! Dare to make a real one? Don't just make a cameo appearance, it's a waste of beauty.

Jane Jing was surprised.

She had not originally planned to watch the movie. After all, it was only two or three minutes long and she would be embarrassed to tell others about it. But the audience was so supportive that it would be unreasonable not to watch it.

However, when I went to find Si Yingjie, he was extremely disloyal: "My sister's company has booked the entire theater, I won't go. I don't like such superficial films."

Jian Jing: “…” Everyone knows that it’s superficial. Is it necessary to say it out loud

Doesn’t she have any face

If Si Yingjie doesn't go, it will be difficult to find Kang Mucheng.

He definitely doesn't like to watch it.

Finally, the most thoughtful Jiang Baiyan came over and asked, "Jingjing, do you want to watch the haunted house? Our company has reserved the theater. Let's support Director Zhang."

Jian Jing: "Go."

When they met, Jiang Baiyan started to complain: "Director Zhang called me yesterday to ask if I had time to support him. Doesn't that mean he looks down on me? If he makes a movie, will I not watch it? It's already been booked."

Jian Jing glanced at him: "You already booked it and didn't call me?"

"Well, I want to watch it first." He whispered, "If your scene is cut, you will be so embarrassed."

Jian Jing: “…” She had never thought about this question!

"But you don't have to worry now. I heard that Teacher Jingjing's role was great." Jiang Baiyan handed her a cup of Coke and a bucket of popcorn, and then started drinking water.

The movie had already started, but there were not many people in the theater, and they were all sitting at the back, so the two of them huddled in the last row so as not to interfere with their conversation.

Jian Jing took a sip of Coke and asked curiously, "Don't you want to eat?"

"The sugar content is still too high." He complained, "I'm going to join a group in a while."

"What movie?"

"In a spy war, I play the role of a stupid son of a landlord." He said, "Luckily he is from a landlord's family. If I were a farmer's child, I would have to lose ten pounds more."

Jian Jing expressed her heartfelt sympathy: "You are so miserable."

"Ah." Jiang Baiyan glanced at the popcorn bucket, resisted the urge to steal some, and diverted his attention. "By the way, I've just told someone that I want to redecorate our company, and asked if there's a good Feng Shui master."

Jian Jing perked up: "And then?"

"I asked three people, all of whom were recommended by friends in the industry," he said. "Two are from Hong Kong, and one is from Taiwan. I came to them for fortune-telling."

"The results of it?"

"One said I should raise some fish in the office and put some plants across from it. That makes sense, so I've changed it. One said I have a bad fate, and was born with a rough life. It's best to eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and do more good deeds to eliminate the bad karma. So I donated 1 million to poor villages. The last one said I have bad luck in marriage, and I must find a girl with a special birth date..."

Jian Jing was speechless: "What the hell?"

"It's quite normal." Jiang Baiyan was not surprised. "I remember last year, there was an actress who was said to be not sincere in worshipping Buddha and that's why she was not popular. So she ran away to Southeast Asia to practice asceticism for three months."

Jian Jing: "Is she famous?"

Jiang Baiyan: "Well, if someone reveals that I'm the boss's mistress and I'm beaten up in the street by the boss's wife, does that count?"

Jian Jing was surprised: "Why didn't I see this news?"

“Because she’s not popular.”

she:"… "

"Is there any news about Qi Tian?"

"I asked around, but I haven't heard of any masters emerging recently." Jiang Baiyan thought about it and said, "Maybe they are in different circles. I'll think of a solution."

Jian Jing pondered: "Is it possible that he didn't return to China?"

Jiang Baiyan nodded quickly: "I think Nanyang is more promising. It's popular there, and he may not dare to come back if you are in China."

Jian Jing cleared her throat and said modestly, "He should be seeing a doctor abroad."

That day in the cave, Qi Tian spit out the boss's thing. He didn't know if it would cause any harm to his body, or whether he would turn back to his old appearance.

Maybe he is lying in the ward dying, just waiting to die.

Jian Jing secretly poked the villain for a while, but finally faced the reality - Qi Tian probably wouldn't die so soon. Since he had borrowed someone else's life, he would definitely find ways to prolong it.

"Hey, don't think about it." Jiang Baiyan stuffed some popcorn into her mouth. "Let's go to the movies."

Jian Jing glanced at the screen.

They are being chased by monsters.

"So fake." Jiang Baiyan finally couldn't help it and put a piece of popcorn in his mouth, slowly sucking the sweet taste of caramel, "It doesn't have that creepy feeling."

"Don't eat secretly." Jian Jing pinched his face, which was soft and elastic, and felt a little different from a cat's. "You were not so unsteady before."

Jiang Baiyan blinked and said in a cute way: "Just one..."

"It's not that difficult, why do you still need to film? Isn't it good to be a boss behind the scenes?" She was just joking, and she loosened it after a pinch.

"Making money is making money, and career is career." He swallowed the popcorn and looked at the various faces on the big screen, thinking, "If I don't act, my life will only be about money, and there will be no meaning at all."

Jian Jing opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

It makes sense, but why does it deserve a beating

"However," Jiang Baiyan added, "If I have other things to pursue in life, I don't have to act anymore."

"Spend money?" she said angrily.

"It's better to make money." He had the consciousness of being a family owner, "I want to leave a part of the family business for Pudding to inherit."

Jane looked at him quietly.

Jiang Baiyan: “?”

She said cautiously: "Have you cut it?"

Jiang Baiyan: “!!!”

It's so sad. I turned my child into a father-in-law with my own hands. There will be no third generation from now on.

What use is there for me to have a fortune of 10 billion? He was so distressed that he quickly reached out and stole a popcorn.

On the screen, the plot continues. After boring arguments, reconciliation and touching moments, the movie finally comes to an end.

Under the bright sunshine, Miss Jane appeared radiantly holding the reins, combining beauty and bravery, which became the most classic shot in the film.

Jiang Baiyan took out his cell phone and skillfully boarded the trumpet.

Bai Xiaohuo v:

Long live Teacher Jingjing, Teacher Jingjing is omnipotent

Riding a horse is so cool, holding a gun is so cool, and killing monsters is so cool

Teacher Jingjing is a fairy girl, no objection will be accepted

Comment 9: Xiaobai, spend some money to act in a movie with Teacher Jian, so that we can have some food to eat

Comment 10: Mom, the celebrity fans are even more exaggerated than me, they have no shame...

Jian Jing glanced at one of the comments and couldn't help but wonder: "Best Actor?"

"Yes," he said, "the Golden Flower Awards will be presented in the second half of the year, and the nomination form has already come out."

Jian Jing suddenly realized: "Rose Gold?"

"Yeah." Jiang Baiyan said calmly, "There are not many competitors this year, so it's almost certain that I'll win. By the way, are you going to the award ceremony?"

Jian Jing calculated the time and said, "Go when you have time."

"Go ahead and support me." He said pitifully, "Otherwise I won't feel confident."

Jian Jing rolled her eyes: "Okay, go ahead."

He made a big heart shape with his hands.
