The Director of Music Department

On September 9th, for Xingmeng Studio, for Wang Yifan, for Chen Xuebing, Chen Shaojun and others, it was a big or small test in life, because tonight, their first movie "Lilac Flower" " will be released soon.

There is no premiere, no media event, no red carpet, and "Lilac" has no more means of attracting audiences. It just goes out.

Of course, compared to the films directed by other newcomers, Wang Yifan's starting point is actually quite high. At least, he got a good lineup. For newcomers, at least "Lilac Flower" has two songs. At least Zhang Zirong was there to help wave the flag.

Although this period is not a popular schedule, it is also beneficial, that is, there are no blockbuster movies released in the same period.

Beijing, Kyushu Cinemas, crowds coming in and out at the gate.

With China's economic take-off, the film and television industry is also in a period of rapid development, and the upper limit of the film box office is getting higher and higher, followed by countless hot money pouring into the film and television industry, and the number of theaters has also been maintained at a very high level. The trend is growing rapidly. Similarly, people's wallets are getting thicker and thicker. Watching movies used to be a luxury, but now it has become the most common consumption choice for more and more people.

Wang Fei plans to go to the movies with his girlfriend Chen Juan today.

Couples of their age account for a very high proportion of the crowd coming and going in the movie theater, and they can be regarded as one of the important components of the moviegoing crowd.

Watching movies is just a basic operation for two people to date, and this time is no exception. They don't have any clear goals, and they usually only choose when they go to the theater.

Scanning the posters around the theater, Wang Fei pointed to the sea report that occupied the largest space in the theater: "Let's watch "Flying Dragon Battleship" today. I have seen the trailer, and the special effects are very good. And the director is Chen Hang. All the videos are solid..."

"Flying Dragon Battleship" is a sci-fi film filmed by the famous Chinese director Chen Hang. It has been released for more than two weeks, and the box office has accumulated more than 800 million Chinese dollars. video.

"I don't want to watch it. It's boring to call back and forth." Chen Juan was not interested in this kind of film.

Chen Juan looked at the posters in the same way, and suddenly her eyes were attracted by one of the posters.

On the poster is the heroine Ding Xiang played by Chen Xuebing, lying in the lilac bushes, smiling sweetly face to face with Wang Yifan.

Chen Juan came over suddenly: "How about we watch "Lilac Flower"? The song is so good, the movie shouldn't be bad, right?"

"Isn't this the movie written, directed, and acted by the singer of "Lilac Flower"? Singing and making a movie are completely different things. I guess it's a bad movie." Wang Fei said somewhat disapprovingly.

"Look, look, I really want to know the story behind the song "Lilac Flower", and as mentioned above, this movie also won the Audience Choice Award at the Beichuan Film Festival, so it must not be too bad, right?" Chen Juan shook her boyfriend's arm and said coquettishly.

"How can a small-budget movie be as good as a big one?" Wang Fei usually doesn't choose the right ones but only expensive ones when watching movies. Well, he only watches blockbuster movies and movies from well-known directors. He really has no love for low-budget movies.

"I don't care, I just want to see this." Chen Juan looked at Wang Fei with a bad look.

Wang Fei's desire to survive was still very strong, and he compromised decisively. At this time, he was fighting against the female ticket, and he didn't want to spend more time coaxing her back.

Soon, it was Wang Fei's turn to buy tickets. Wang Fei just heard that most people bought "Flying Dragon Battleship" and another "Jian Xia Wushuang". These two are relatively popular movies in this schedule. And "Lilac Flower" was also bought, but not many.

There is no way, compared to "Flying Dragon Battleship", which is a big production with an investment unit of 100 million, and "Swordsman Warriors", although it is inferior, but also a movie with a cost of tens of millions, if "Lilac" is not With the little popularity of the song, I am afraid that not many people know that such a movie is released.

After buying the tickets, the two waited in the rest area. After a while, the time was almost up, and the two began to check the tickets.

After entering the theater, Wang Fei was a little surprised to find that there were quite a lot of people, except for the first few rows, which were basically full.

And most of them, like Wang Fei and the others, came to watch as couples.

In fact, this schedule still has some advantages. For example, in the same schedule, there is only one romance film "Lilac Flower", and the others are science fiction and martial arts action movies.

Therefore, it is not surprising that couples choose "Lilac Flower" to watch movies.

The movie hadn't started yet, and Wang Fei was also a couple next door.

Movies are being discussed at this point.

The man said: "I really don't understand. With such a small cost, what is there to watch in a movie made by a new director? I've heard that actors go to be directors to make movies, but I haven't heard of singers making movies. of."

The woman said, ""Lilac" is so good, and a friend of mine went to the Beichuan Film Festival to watch this film. She said she cried, it was very touching."

The man said disdainfully: "I am more sure that this is a bad movie. Your friend must feel that he has been tortured and wants you to be tortured too."

"What did you say?" The woman's voice became a little higher.

"Ha, just kidding, since it was recommended by your friend, shouldn't I accompany you to see it?" The man hurriedly laughed.

"Hmph, hold back and don't cry when you have the ability." The woman said dissatisfiedly.

"Are you kidding me? Will I cry? To be honest, there really hasn't been a movie that makes me cry these days." The man said disapprovingly.

"Don't make noise, the movie will start soon." The woman said.

At this time, the lights of the theater went dark.

The movie starts playing.

"Lilac" is not the kind of movie that can catch the audience's attention from the very beginning.

Therefore, after watching for a while, that is, the part of the background introduction of the hero Shi Lei, Wang Fei felt that it was as expected.

However, Chen Juan was watching with gusto.

Wang Fei couldn't help lamenting in his heart, woman!

Finally it's time for the first song. The song "Legend" is still very flavorful.

"Is this song good?" Chen Juan turned around and asked.

"Well, it's okay, but the movie is average." Wang Fei said.

Wang Fei still felt that the movie was not good, but in fact the movie was not that bad, but Wang Fei had preconceived ideas, so he subconsciously looked at the movie with a critical eye.

Especially when Shi Lei agreed to approve her plan for Lilac, Wang Fei couldn't help complaining: "Oh, childish!"

As a result, the female ticket Chen Juan glared at her!

"Lilac" is not the kind of movie with ups and downs in the plot. It can be said that the first part is relatively dull.

Therefore, although Wang Fei was also watching it, he felt that apart from the good songs, there was nothing special about it.

The plot has come to a remote mountain village for the first time.

The revelation of Ding Xiang's identity aroused Wang Fei's interest, and he felt that it was not too bad at first.

Then there is the beautiful picture of lilac flowers on the hillside, and the warm interaction between Shi Lei and Lilac. Female audiences feel completely different from male audiences watching this kind of movie.

For example, Chen Juan felt so sweet and romantic watching this scene, but Wang Fei curled her lips. The picture is good, but the plot is still very flat.
