Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 509: A Few Things About Watching Movies

"Did you do it on purpose?"

Zhang Jingyi complained to Lin Li in a low voice.

"what?"

Lin Li looked at her innocently.

"Nothing, just get in line!"

Zhang Jingyi gave him a sidelong glance, then turned away angrily.

"Heh~"

Lin Li chuckled barely perceptibly, with the corners of his lips raised.

At this time, a burst of talking in the team attracted the attention of the two.

"God knows how long I have been looking forward to this movie, and finally I can see it."

"Yes, yes, I am a fan of the original novel. I have been eagerly waiting since Nanxun Culture officially announced that it would shoot this movie."

"You protect the world and I protect you. This was my favorite sentence when I was in school. I always fantasized about having someone like Xiaobei by my side."

"Who isn't? I think Hou Minghao's Xiao Bei in the trailer is pretty good."

"By the way, Hou Minghao has acted in two movies with Nan Da, so he can be considered the official male lead, hahaha."

"If that's the case, then Zhang Jingyi seems to be the only female star who has appeared in two Nanda productions in a row, right?"

"Yes, and he is acting opposite Nan Da directly. This is really enviable."

"Is it just envy? It's suspicion."

"The interaction between these two people can't be considered pure no matter how you look at it. Xiangwang even remembers what they said when they first met."

"And the way Zhang Jingyi looked at Nanda was so bright, her eyes were full of love that they were almost overflowing, okay?"

"Look at Nan Da again. When he looked at Zhang Jingyi when he returned to the courtyard, his eyes were so gentle. I don't believe that these two people are okay."

"After Zhang Jingyi was chosen as the heroine of Ignite, I became more certain of this. There is definitely something going on between these two!"

"That's it!"

The three girls gathered together, and you said nothing, causing Lin Li and the other person behind them to subconsciously look at each other at the same time, and then quickly look away the moment their eyes touched.

This feeling of having the camera zoomed right into your face is a bit weird.

With strange emotions, the two checked their tickets and entered the aisle, then silently followed the crowd into the theater, walked to the last row according to their seat numbers and sat down.

"you……"

"you……"

They both spoke at the same time, and then paused at the same time.

"You go ahead and say it."

Lin Li smiled and said to Zhang Jingyi.

"I mean, give me the coffee."

Zhang Jingyi pushed the long hair in front of her eyes behind her ears, looked at the coffee beside Lin Li and said softly.

"Oh, here you go."

Lin Li responded with a sudden realization and handed the coffee to her.

"Thank you."

Zhang Jingyi expressed her thanks softly, took the coffee, turned around and sat up straight.

Lin Li couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He stopped looking at her and also sat up straight to look at the big screen in front of him.

The atmosphere at this moment is particularly subtle.

Lin Li took a quick look inside the theater. This theater could accommodate about two hundred people, so it was considered a relatively large theater.

When he bought the tickets yesterday, he noticed that there were not many seats left. Now, the entire theater is completely full.

There were two girls sitting next to him and Jingyi respectively, and he noticed that the girl next to him turned her head to look at him from time to time with a suspicious expression on her face.

Lin Li couldn't help but smile bitterly. He specifically chose a seat in the last row and covered himself tightly, so he wouldn't be recognized, right?
At this time, the lights in the theater dimmed, the screen lit up, and advertisements began to play.

Seeing the girl next to him look away, Lin Li let out a sigh of relief.

"what happened?"

After hearing Lin Li's movement, Zhang Jingyi didn't care about the previous episode. She turned her head curiously and asked him in a low voice.

"It's okay. I guess he wasn't recognized."

Lin Li also leaned closer to her and whispered.

Zhang Jingyi glanced at the girl next to Lin Li, instantly understood what he meant, nodded, and sat up straight.

On the screen, the advertisement had ended and the familiar dragon logo appeared. The suppressed discussions in the theater gradually dissipated, and Zhang Jingyi also concentrated and stared at the big screen.

She has been looking forward to the movie "Youth" for a long time.

And she also wanted to see how senior sister Zhou Ye performed in the movie.

As the words "Director Lin Li's work" passed by, the screen gradually lit up and the plot officially began.

Zhang Jingyi glanced at Lin Li beside her in a rather amazed manner. Thinking that the young director was sitting next to her and watching the movie with her, she had an indescribable weird feeling.

The next moment, seeing Zhang Zifeng's camera appear, she quickly gathered her thoughts and began to stare at the screen intently.

In the theater, the only sounds that could be heard were occasional whispers and the sound of someone chewing food.

"Wow!"

When the scene switched to the actual plot, as expected, there was a burst of exclamations in the theater.

Everyone was amazed by this scene transition.

Zhang Jingyi turned to look at Lin Li, and happened to meet his gaze.

"Routine operations."

Lin Li leaned closer to Zhang Jingyi and whispered, "Yes."

Zhang Jingyi had gotten used to Lin Li's shamelessness. She rolled her eyes at him cutely and continued looking at the screen. She was becoming more and more excited about the rest of the plot.

The first part of the film has a compact plot, explaining where the story takes place, the cause and course of the events, and the relationships between the various characters.

When Hu Xiaodie fell from the building, there was another round of exclamations in the cinema as expected. No one expected the beginning to be so exciting.

Afterwards, when Wei Lai, played by Zhou Ye, appeared, a burst of subdued discussions rang out in the theater, "Wow, this girl is so beautiful!", "She is so pretty", "This is the villain, right? How can the villain be so beautiful?", all kinds of comments came together, and it could be heard that everyone recognized Zhou Ye's appearance very much.

Zhang Jingyi pursed the corners of her lips under the mask and stared at Zhou Ye's face on the big screen with her eyes slightly narrowed.

He took a pretty good picture of her.

Zhang Jingyi glanced at Lin Li and thought silently.

The plot is getting better and better. When seeing Chen Nian being bullied by Wei Lai, who is full of contrast, many viewers couldn't help but curse out loud.

Zhang Zifeng performed at the level of a movie queen, and her several crying scenes made the audience wipe tears.

Wei Lai's various weird, out-of-control and sarcastic expressions left a deep psychological shadow on the audience.

Xiaobei, played by Hou Minghao, was beaten when he first appeared on the stage, which made many female audiences feel distressed.

When Wei Lai pushed Chen Nian down the stairs, an unconcealable cry of surprise rang out again throughout the theater.

The subsequent upward shooting angle and the close-up of Wei Lai's beautiful but emotionless face and indifferent eyes made the audience feel creepy!
How could this girl act so horribly!
She acted so innocent when she first appeared!

Zhang Jingyi was also surprised by Zhou Ye’s performance. Is this senior sister Cha Cha such a good actress?
The plot continues on the big screen, and Chen Nian decides to tell the police the cause of Hu Xiaodie's death.

However, after a brief period of calm, they were met with retaliation from Wei Lai and others.

This scene made the audience in the theater feel thrilling. The knives in Wei Lai and her friends' hands, the cage of rats, and the chilling smiles all made the audience feel terrified.

The audience has no way of imagining what would happen if they were discovered. Would they be cut into pieces or bitten by rats?
This gave them the chills.

Zhang Jingyi also subconsciously moved closer to Lin Li, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

This senior sister Zhou Ye always feels like she isn’t acting!
She won't do this to herself again, right?
Zhang Jingyi feels a little panicked now!

Lin Li couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Jingyi's trembling appearance. He reached out and grabbed her soft and boneless hand, holding it tightly in his palm.

Zhang Jingyi was startled, she turned her head to look at Lin Li, and after meeting his gentle gaze, her original nervousness and fear gradually relaxed, and was replaced by a full sense of security.

Since the filming began, apart from the kissing scenes, they have long been accustomed to holding hands and hugging. However, when they are not filming, Lin Li never gets too close to her.

At this moment, Lin Li was holding her hand to support her, and she naturally understood that.

She didn't say anything more, letting Lin Li hold her hand and continued to turn her head to look at the big screen.

Seeing this, Lin Li smiled slightly and continued to look in the direction she was looking.

He didn't know how many times he had watched the movie from the time it was edited until now, and he had already memorized the plot by heart. This time, he mainly came to watch it with Jingyi and then see the audience's reaction.

So far, the feedback is very good. The audience is able to immerse themselves in the plot and give obvious reactions, which also represents the success of the plot.

Afterwards, when Wei Lai was pushed down the stairs, accompanied by cheers from the audience in the theater, the plot began to take a sharp turn for the worse.

When the scene where Xiao Bei pretended to rape Chen Nian was shown, the entire theater turned into a sea of ​​tears.

Lin Li handed the tissue he had prepared long ago to Zhang Jingyi. Zhang Jingyi took a look at him, took the tissue, and lowered her head to wipe it.

When it came to the interrogation scene, Zhang Jingyi and everyone else present were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.

When Chen Nian questioned Zheng Yi, everyone could feel her despair, and Xiao Bei's comfort made many sensitive girls cry again.

Finally, the plot came to an end. Fortunately, the ending was good, which made many viewers smile with relief.

"Whoo~"

When the lights came on again, Zhang Jingyi took a deep breath and turned to look at Lin Li beside her.

She was a little surprised. How could the person who created such a great movie be right next to her?

amazing!
After watching the entire film, she had only one feeling, which was shock!
Fierce, rough, ferocious.

Those close-ups, big close-ups, rarely are there so many close-ups in a movie, so many faces, like huge waves, surging in.

Those huge faces are staring at you, looking at you, staring at you, and there is no escape.

Most of the movie is set at night, in darkness.

Only pain can understand pain, and only your darkness can illuminate my darkness.

This is how she feels.

There is also very beautiful music and moving voices, capturing the noise of the mountain city, water droplets, sweat clinging to the skin, and genius editing, fierce and decisive, sweet and gentle, with hidden flowers lighting up in the most lingering moments.

She could feel a strong sense of cinema from it!

What is the cinematic feel?
Cinematic feeling cannot be translated into literature, but it cannot be fully expressed in the script. Cinematic feeling is a chemical reaction, a physiological reaction.

The feeling that the boy got from this movie was, this is a movie!
Unlike many others, in her opinion, it is a drama, a sketch, or an internet joke... but not a movie.

"What's wrong Princess, is there something on my face?"

Lin Li smiled as he met Zhang Jingyi's gaze.

"You are really amazing!"

Zhang Jingyi exclaimed with deep admiration from the bottom of her heart.

Looking at Lin Li in front of her, her eyes were bright and full of undisguised admiration.

"Mm-hmm, thank you for the compliment, Princess."

Lin Li nodded at her and chuckled.

"You deserve it."

"I admit that, but shouldn't we go now?"

"It seems so. Let's go."

The two of them glanced at the theater which was already mostly occupied, and stood up and walked out together.

The two held hands and did not separate.
