At the same time, a wave of "Dark War" that has been brewing for a long time is rapidly sweeping the entire land of China with an irresistible trend.
Rushing to the cinema for the premiere? Sorry, the lines outside the cinema have already formed a long queue. Don't you see, just ask and wait for that thin movie ticket, countless people are shivering in the cold winter wind!
The release happened to be during the winter vacation, and the posture of many boys asking out the goddess has gradually changed from - "Hey Goddess, I have a movie ticket for "Dark War", two golden seats" to - "Goddess, I only have tickets for the farthest corner Oh, I really didn't grab it... Eh? That's okay? Well, it's no problem at two o'clock in the afternoon!".
If you want to ask why "Dark War" can set off such a terrifying trend, then fans will definitely tell you with one voice: this is not only due to the charm of the film itself and the strong publicity in the early stage, but also to the film's main actors.
The leading actor, Zhu Qing, is an evergreen tree in the entertainment industry. With a lot of die-hard fans, since the first movie he starred in, it has been called "box office panacea".
The heroine, Ji Mei, started her career in the film industry, and it was the first time she acted as a leading actress. Naturally, a lot of fans had been waiting for her goddess' movie to be released.
What everyone didn't expect was that on the day of the film's premiere wrap-up banquet, when the crew of "Dark War" gathered to celebrate, both the actors and staff couldn't help sighing—
"I didn't expect that Lin Xiaoqiu was the one who got the most praise."
No!
Official film reviews and media magazines naturally put more emphasis on the connotation of the film, as well as the conflict of interests and love-hate entanglement between the hero and heroine and the villain, but as soon as you open the Internet, whether it is the Weibo topic of "Dark War" or Doubai movie reviews Qiqi made various touching comments about the character "Mo Wei"...
Eulogy!
The most astonishing thing is that someone actually started YYing Zuo Yiwen and Mo Wei's "life and death love"!
As soon as I opened a well-known Tian X dynasty novel website with a green background, there was already a pure love fancier about "Dark War". Black-bellied undercover attack x loyal dog beauty! Are there any cute ones!
Even Ji Mei didn't expect that what she said inadvertently at the premiere, "It seems that I am redundant as a heroine" has actually become a fact!
As a result, while major professional film critics and official media have published reports praising the main theme of the film, the trend on the Internet has begun to deviate in an unpredictable and weird direction...
Lin Xi naturally didn't know about these.
Without wasting time, after wolfing down a few mouthfuls of breakfast, Lin Xi and Uno set off to the airport in City B. After booking the earliest flight to the United States and explaining the situation to Ji Chengshu, the two set off for the United States first.
The flight noise of international flights is obviously much lighter than that of small domestic passenger planes. In the quiet and spacious first-class cabin, about half of the people are seated, only the sound of flipping books and mouse clicks occasionally sounds, adding to the It was a little quiet.
During the nearly 20-hour voyage, Lin Xi did not immediately put on sound-proof earmuffs to rest. Putting down the table next to his seat, he kept sketching and taking notes with a black pen while flipping through the thick script.
The well-shaped eyes lowered slightly, and he read the black characters in Song Dynasty seriously line by line. Occasionally, when I read something worth thinking about, my delicate eyebrows will condense into a ball, biting the tip of the pen without knowing it, thinking hard.
Just as Uno opened the notebook on the white table, he raised his head inadvertently, and saw the handsome young man beside him biting his pen. After being stunned for a while, he came back to his senses. There was a hint of a smile in his pitch-black eyes, and he whispered: "What's the matter? Did you encounter something incomprehensible?" As he spoke, he leaned over and looked down at the paper that had been drawn. The black pen draws a circle on the left and a triangle on the right on white paper.
Suddenly being approached by someone, Lin Xi was slightly taken aback, but soon came back to his senses. Picking up the script on the table, Lin Xi sighed softly, pointed at a huge triangle with the tip of his pen, and said, "Here. If you want to use this action, I think the substitute effect may be very bad."
Upon hearing this, Uno took the script handed over by Lin Xi, read it carefully for a while, and then asked, "Do you want to do it yourself?" There was a bit of worry and disapproval in his tone, "This action is a bit dangerous."
Lin Xi shook his head with a faint smile, and said, "In the script, you still need to jump into the river and drive a car. These are more dangerous action scenes. Did you use a stand-in before?"
With just one sentence, all the persuasion that Uno was about to utter was blocked back into his throat. The handsome and elegant man hesitated for a while, and just opened his mouth to say something, when his eyes suddenly touched the confident and indifferent smile on the young man's lips, and then slowly closed his mouth.
With a low sigh helplessly, an imperceptible smile appeared on the mixed-race elegant face, Uno opened his lips and said: "Well, there is no substitute for this action in the original script of Steven, but... when I give it to you Revised it."
Lin Xi couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words: "It seems that Geer took the mirror in person."
Uno remained silent, without denying it.
Lin Xi looked at the other party's appearance of "bowing his head and admitting his mistake", couldn't help chuckling, and stopped making things difficult for the other party.
The sunshade on the porthole next to the empty seat had been pulled down by the stewardess at some point, and the clear blue sky filled the entire window. The bright sunlight shines in through the double-layer vacuum glass. Because the entrance hole is extremely small, it is not so dazzling, which only makes the entire aircraft cabin look brighter.
"Lin... Lin Xi, can you give me an autograph?"
Lin Xi was flipping through the script with his head down, when he suddenly heard a female voice as thin as a mosquito sounding beside him. He subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see the stylish and tall stewardess he saw when boarding the plane was bending over, looking at him carefully.
After being dazed for a while, Lin Xi stretched out his hand and took the pile of notebooks in the opponent's hand. He took a pen and signed his name one by one, then looked up with a smile. Just when he was about to say a few words of thanks to the other party, his eyes suddenly touched some beautiful stewardess girls who were hiding behind the curtain of the front cabin and had been peeping for an unknown amount of time.
Peeping was suddenly caught, and the girls immediately shrank their heads back, pretending that they didn't exist.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xi couldn't help laughing and said, "Just my signature?"
The stewardess who was chosen as the representative to come out to sign was taken aback, and asked, "Huh?!"
"Don't want him?" Lin Xi suddenly leaned back, revealing the silent man beside her. He didn't ignore the sight of a few little girls who were secretly looking at Uno just now, their faces were flushed with excitement, but they didn't dare to step forward and say a word.
As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, before Uno and the stewardess could react, a handsome, short-haired stewardess quickly rushed out from behind the curtain, and whispered excitedly: "Is it really possible? Is it really possible?" ?!!"
"..." Looking at the other party's happy face, Lin Xi couldn't bear to speak. He still remembered that Uno didn't seem to like to have too much contact with fans, and now this situation really doesn't know...
"Can."
A deep and magnetic male voice suddenly sounded from Lin Xi's ear. Before he could react, Uno reached out and took a small notebook from the little girl's hand. Uno took out the black fountain pen from Lin Xi's hand, and just opened the book, he raised his head and asked, "What's your name?"
The little girl was obviously still in a panic state, and when Uno slightly raised the volume and asked "What's your name", she couldn't wait to say: "My... God, just write 'Mrs. Ou's delegation'!! !"
"..." Hearing this weird name suddenly, the smile on Lin Xi's lips stopped abruptly.
On the other hand, as if he didn't hear anything, he lowered his head and wrote two lines of sharp words in silence, and then handed them back to the little girl with no expression on his face. After taking her little notebook, the pretty-looking stewardess ran back to the front cabin of the plane without looking back, as if she was afraid of the other party's repentance.
This fan signing event was considered to be over, and the entire first-class cabin returned to its initial silence.
Lin Xi looked down at the script pretending to be calm, his eyes never deviated, only the never-turned pages and the clean, blank paper revealed the fact that he had distracted thoughts at all. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xi finally couldn't stop the laughter in his throat, and Lin Xi burst out laughing.
"… What's wrong?"
After shrugging his shoulders for a long time, Lin Xi turned around and replied calmly: "Nothing." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head and continued to read the script.
Under the bright light, Uno lowered his eyes and looked thoughtfully at the young man who lowered his head and read the script seriously. There was a trace of helplessness in his dark eyes, and his thin lips curled slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
Under the clear and clean sky like sapphire, a silver-white Boeing 767 quickly flew past the top of the white clouds, leaving a white trace. Crossing the blue and deep ocean, crossing most of the vast and sparsely populated North America continent, when the beautiful international passenger plane landed safely at the United States National Airport, it was already night in the United States.
Regardless of the jet lag fatigue and travel fatigue just after getting off the plane, Lin Xi and Uno boarded the car prepared by Steven as soon as they got out of the airway building, and hurried to the city center. Dressed in the dim moonlight and the red city lights, Lin Xi followed Uno and entered a sixty or seventy-story skyscraper.
With the sound of "Ding-", the three-sided transparent curved elevator stopped steadily on the 60th floor. Before the metal elevator door opened, a loud male voice passed through the thin metal and reached Lin Xi's ears, with a strong American western accent, his voice was hoarse and muddy: "Oh God, it's my show. Lin Xi Reached?"
The elevator door opened upon hearing the sound, and the first thing that came into Lin Xi's field of vision was a messy blond hair.
Probably because I haven't washed my hair for many days, and the already scarce blond hair is sticking to the scalp wetly at this moment. Looking at it from a distance, I feel that it is shiny. His figure was a little fat, and in terms of waist alone, it was almost twice as thick as Lin Xi's. Different from his obese appearance, this pudgy middle-aged foreigner has a pair of beautiful eyes. The deeply embedded blue eyes looked more like a piece of dark green emerald due to the precipitation of time.
Seeing this internationally renowned Steven Beal in person for the first time, Lin Xi smiled knowingly: The other party is exactly the same as the image in TV magazines, which made him feel a sense of intimacy immediately.
He had just stepped out of the elevator, and before he could speak, he saw Steven stepping forward, opening his thicker arms, laughing and saying, "Oh God, my friend, you are so beautiful ! You are better than the photos and videos!"
Lin Xi did not refuse the other party's courtesy hug, he also raised his hands, and while giving the enthusiastic Steven a hug, he spit out from his lips in fluent English: "Thank you for your compliment, Steven. I am more I hope you can call me handsome."
As soon as the short hug was over, Lin Xi just let go of his hands that barely wrapped around the fat waist of the other party, and he heard Steven said in embarrassment: "My Lin, you are really embarrassing me like this. But since you asked me to do this, I will definitely I will promise you." As he spoke, Steven stretched his short and thick neck, and brought his cheeks closer to Lin Xi, as if he wanted to make a face-to-face gift: "Nice to meet you, I want to treat you with my noblest The etiquette to welcome you... ”
"It's a courtesy to meet a lady, Steven."
A slender and graceful right hand suddenly blocked between the faces of Steven and Lin Xi, and successfully prevented Steven from continuing to move forward. From Lin Xi's perspective, only the obvious joints could be seen and manicured nails.
"Oh Mantes, why are you so heartless. I just want to say hello to my Lin." Although he said so, Steven had already let go of Lin Xi's arms. He took a step back, pretending to be annoyed.
Hearing these words, Lin Xicai slowly recovered from the absent-minded state just now. He didn't expect that Steven would suddenly want to give himself a kiss, so he didn't avoid it at all.
Uno narrowed his eyes dangerously, and did not hide the slight anger in his tone: "Steven, it's getting late today, why don't we talk about the script tomorrow."
"Oh no, Mantes! Let's go into the office and discuss in detail now." Steven wailed, and then immediately looked at Lin Xi, his expression suddenly changed from playful to serious. He cleared his throat and asked, "Lin, what do you think of my X-Storm?"
Just stunned for a moment by Steven's sudden change of attitude, Lin Xi immediately came back to his senses and replied: "If I have to say... At first, I thought it would be a very successful commercial film."
The three of them walked towards Steven's office while talking.
Listening to Lin Xi's answer, Steven raised his messy eyebrows and asked, "Lin, you said this was the beginning?"
Hearing this, Lin Xi smiled and nodded: "Well, it was only at first. I thought so after simply listening to Uno... Mantes' brief introduction in the car to the airport. But, when I After reading the script, I feel that "X Storm" is not only a pure and simple commercial film, but also has profound connotations."
When Steven heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Uno, laughed and said, "Mantes, how did you outline our "X Storm" so that Lin Hui could mistake it for a commercial film?"
Uno raised his eyes and glanced at Steven coldly, and asked, "Isn't it?"
After eating a turtle suddenly, Steven said aggrievedly: "Well, it is true that it is mainly about commercial elements. However, Lin is also right, we are not only planning to make money, but also... to win prizes."
Lin Xi was taken aback when he heard the words, a name suddenly popped up in his mind, and he asked reflexively, "Golden Edge Award?"
Steven laughed: "Yes, Golden Edge Award for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best..."
"Best obese director?" Uno said suddenly.
Steven was taken aback, and then reacted immediately. This funny and cute middle-aged man's complexion instantly darkened, and he said angrily: "Mantes, you can insult my personality, but you can't insult my figure!!!"
Lin Xi: "..."
