Chapter 48
Chapter 48
April [-]st, April Fool's Day.
After a year of shooting and post-production, the much-anticipated "Song of the Setting Sun" is finally released.
More than three years ago, once the old version of "Song of the Setting Sun" was released, it created a new myth in the film industry. With a box office of 12 billion, it still sits firmly on the top spot of domestic films and won all the film festival awards of the year. , For so many years, no movie can refresh the miracle it has created.
In the minds of many audiences, the characters created by Meng Liangchen and Su Qingliu have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and are regarded as classics. Now that the new version of "Song of the Setting Sun" is released, Yue Chaoge's tough and handsome image and Jian Tong's gentle and gentle appearance have been completely subverted. This in itself has a great topicality, which has whetted the appetite of the audience.
But only these are far from enough. According to the past rules, even if the newly remade movie is exciting enough, the plot is ups and downs enough, and the old version is in front, the new version will at most get some attention in the early stage. After a burst of enthusiasm, it will immediately die. Silence, it can be said that the success of the original work is also the failure of the original work, so if you want to ensure that a movie is popular, in this year, it largely depends on whether there are enough explosive points...
Some time ago, the scandal between Luo Qiubai and the eldest son of the Qi family was very hot, and as a newcomer, he won the support of the Xinghui Company and the Kunlun Consortium for the first time. He had already earned enough attention. His acting skills are obvious to all, and his voice is deliberately erased, which attracted a lot of audiences and film critics.
And the lineup of the film is also unprecedentedly strong. The joining of Ye Cheng, the actor, and Meng Liangchen, the original version of Yue Chaoge's friendship cameo also attracted a lot of fans. In addition, this film was Li Tianqi's last work before he was banned. The drama of Luo Qiubai being detained and framed by the police is still vivid in my mind. Now it is said that the two have a lot of rivalry scenes in the movie. When this topic broke out, it became a hype weapon for the movie before it was broadcast.
The night before the movie was released, the movie tickets were sold out, and it was hard to get a ticket even for the next week.
On the day of the premiere, there was a long queue outside the Casa International Cinema, which is the main battleground for promotion. Luo Qiubai was wearing a peacock green suede suit, sitting on a chair in the background, holding his head and playing mobile games .
Ye Cheng next to him was like a chatterbox, talking non-stop. He was obviously wearing a handsome dress and his hair was combed into the most standard gentleman's look by the makeup artist, but he didn't reflect the word "gentleman" at all. With the demeanor he should have, he held a piece of mutton fried with garlic in his hand, and kept stuffing it into his mouth. While stuffing it, he glanced at the untouched lunch box in front of Luo Qiubai.
"I said, aren't you nervous? The premiere, my nervous hands and feet are sweating now."
Luo Qiubai was almost choked to death by these words, and said dumbfoundedly, "Ye Yingdi, your experience is much richer than mine, why are you so nervous at this time? Also, can you stop eating? You are not afraid of seeing fans soon." , One mouth is a smell of garlic."
"I'm nervous! I want to eat when I'm nervous." Ye Cheng stuffed a piece of garlic into his mouth, it was delicious, and he didn't forget to pick up a piece and held it up to Luo Qiubai, "Try it, this one is very delicious , my assistant waited in line for two hours at Zhao’s private kitchen to buy it, and it’s said that their boss Xu cooks it himself, Neng Neng, you’ll know after one bite.”
Luo Qiubai, who was stimulated by the strong smell of mutton, quickly covered his nose. He used to like to eat mutton, but ever since he lost his appetite, he was not sensitive to these things. Now he shook his head vigorously and said, "Forget it, eat it yourself." , I’ll give you this too, be careful not to choke, lest the next day’s headlines become: Actor Ye choked to death on garlic on the eve of the premiere.”
What Ye Cheng was waiting for was his words, he laughed and snatched away his lunch box, Luo Qiubai couldn't stand the smell, so he quickly opened his cup and took a sip.
This is some kind of compound juice that Qi Feng specially prepared in the morning. There are apples, oranges and hawthorns. The color of the squeezed juice is black. Luo Qiu gave a mouthful of it with a smile, and was grabbed by someone violently and displeased. After kissing the neck for more than half an hour, my mouth is still a little numb.
Thinking of Qi Feng, Luo Qiubai secretly went to the bathroom and sent him a text message
[I left in a hurry this morning, so I didn't have time to say, are you free in the afternoon, I'll treat you to a movie] He didn't mention the release of "Song of the Setting Sun", because he didn't intend to let Qi Feng stop work to cheer him up, besides For the film's premiere, he must be busy with the crew to promote it. Even if Qi Feng came, two people might not be able to blatantly watch the film side by side in public, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity in the afternoon to invite him out, let Qi Feng accompanied him to watch it again, and shared the joy of the first movie in his life being released.
After a while, the phone vibrated, and Qi Feng sent back a text message, 【No time, there is a screening room at home, who has time to go to the movies this afternoon. 】His tone was so serious that he didn't even leave a full stop. Even if he didn't see him, Luo Qiubai could still imagine the cold face and frowning of the big bird monster.
Cut, if you don’t come, don’t come, why are you so fierce, is the theater at home the same thing as me inviting you to watch a movie?Really puzzled style!
Luo Qiubai made a face at the screen, and was about to reply to a text message when he heard an assistant knock on the door, "Mr. Luo, the premiere ceremony is about to start in 5 minutes. Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me?" Can you try to delay the time with the director?"
"Oh, no need, I'll go out right away." Luo Qiubai greeted, and hurriedly stuffed the phone into his pocket and opened the door.
The final countdown began, and all the leading actors were waiting at the door. Luo Qiubai stood at the closed door, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. At this moment, his heart finally started beating wildly involuntarily.
Thump-thump-thump!
He knew that this door opened, and what greeted him was a new beginning on the road of acting, 5—— 4—— 3——
This is an exam paper he gave to himself and all the audience, the result is unpredictable, but...
2——1——!
The door opened, and there was a frantic scream, and the moment he opened his eyes, the flashing lights were connected together.
He knows he has no regrets.
The grand premiere ceremony attracted countless media and reporters, and a large number of audiences who grabbed the tickets for the closing movie were eligible to participate in this event. They held glow sticks and colorful signs in their hands, and called out the names of their idols , "Ye Cheng" and "Meng Liangchen" these voices came and went, and suddenly someone shouted, "Xiaobai, come on!"
Luo Qiubai followed the sound in surprise. It was a group of little girls holding the three characters "Luo Qiubai" in their hands. When they saw him look over, they screamed excitedly and waved at him excitedly. .
He never knew that he had fans, and he didn't even know how these fans fell in love with him. He couldn't adapt for a while, his face turned red, and he kept saying "Hello", and he didn't know how those fans could be. He couldn't hear it, but Ye Cheng who was next to him happened to see it, hugging his shoulders and showing his eight teeth towards the camera, the group of little girls screamed even crazier immediately.
It was the first time for Luo Qiubai to experience the feeling of having fans. He didn't recover from the excitement until he walked the red carpet with the crew. The movie was about to start, and fans and audiences came in one after another. Several leading actors made some adjustments Come in and watch the film together from the backstage.
Just before entering the arena, Luo Qiubai's cell phone rang suddenly, and he gestured to Morikawa, signaling them to go in first, and he followed behind.Because it was in the background, there was no one else except the crew, and Morikawa didn't mind, he nodded and entered the screening room with Meng Liangchen and Ye Cheng.
For a moment, there were only Luo Qiubai and two bodyguards left in the corridor. He didn't know who picked this time to make a call. He took out his mobile phone and was about to answer it when a person came up behind him and hugged him tightly.
Luo Qiubai was taken aback, almost thought he was meeting some crazy fans, and was kissed just as he was about to turn around.
A familiar smell came, and he caught a glimpse of a sharp chin out of the corner of his eye.
After a brief surprise, he couldn't help but poke him back with a smile, "Hey, didn't you say you don't have time to watch a movie? Where did it come from now?"
The corners of Qi Feng's mouth were pursed, a strange blush appeared in his ears, and he replied angrily, "I am willing, why do you care so much?" Then he pulled his arm forcefully and walked out.
He doesn't understand why his wife is so stupid. I want to watch the premiere with you in the morning, and I won't let you go in the afternoon. Of course, I won't waste time going to the movies in the afternoon!I can't understand such a simple thing. Doesn't it mean that husband and wife should communicate with each other? Why is it so difficult for my wife to communicate with him? It's really helpless!
Turning around, Luo Qiubai saw Qi Feng, was stunned for a second, and then couldn't help laughing.
The big bird monster was wearing a black windbreaker, a woolen scarf of the same color around his neck, covering most of his face, a black hat and black sunglasses, and the whole person was submerged in the pitch black, if not for his From the sound and the familiar smell on his body, Luo Qiubai almost thought that he had encountered a gangster.
Turning around to avoid Qi Feng, he saw that two bodyguards not far away had already turned their backs. At this time, they pretended not to hear or see, and looked up at the sky together. It was obvious that they had been bought by Qi Feng a long time ago. It must have been calculated to let Qi Feng stop him.
Luo Qiubai laughed, grabbed Qi Feng's scarf and said, "Do you want to be so cute, hahaha... Do you think you are making a spy movie?"
"Crack!" With a sound, Qi Feng slapped his troublesome hand away, and said in a grumpy voice, "Shut up!"
If it weren't for my reluctant agreement to hide our marriage, I wouldn't need to show up here dressed like this.My own wife looks like having an affair when she meets her, and it's not all because I dote on you!
Even if he couldn't see the man's tightly covered face, Luo Qiubai could guess that his expression at the moment must be awkward and shy.
He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up. At this moment, the man threw a thermos bottle to him and said angrily, "Do you want to go to the movies or not? I'm leaving."
After he said that, he turned around and left. Luo Qiubai opened the thermos and saw that there was freshly squeezed sour juice in it. Because his stomach has been feeling uncomfortable recently, Qi Feng ordered him to forbid him to eat any cold ones, so Even the juice brought over at this time was heated.
Looking at the man's stiff back, Luo Qiubai trotted for two steps with a smile on his face, and leaned forward to call him, "Qi Feng? Qi Feng...Qi Feng?"
"To shut up!"
"Why do I like you so much?" Luo Qiubai poked him, and Qi Feng immediately stopped, his neck froze.
At this time, Luo Qiubai smiled triumphantly, pulled his arm and rubbed it into his pocket, "Where are the movie tickets, where did you put them? It's about to start, you just pass the time and watch with me."
"..." Qi Feng stopped talking, and the corners of his mouth hidden under the scarf were tightly pursed. After a while, he took out two movie tickets from his pocket, and said in a bad tone, "I just took a look, Not for you."
Luo Qiubai laughed even more happily, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Because the premiere of "Song of the Setting Sun" was fully booked, the secretary didn't get a reserved ticket. Qi Feng was very angry about this and had to buy regular tickets.
When the two entered the theater, a large part of the advertisement in front had already been played. In the dark theater, the audience's eyes were all on the screen, and no one noticed that there were two more men in the last row.
Luo Qiubai put on the hat and sunglasses that Qi Feng had prepared long ago, took off the suit on his body, and only wore a white shirt and black trousers, which were ordinary and inconspicuous, and did not arouse anyone's suspicion. Watching a movie with so many people, frowning all the time, obviously still upset at the secretary's mistake.
Luo Qiubai was in a very good mood. He never thought that he and Qi Feng would be able to do what a teenager couple would do in such a crowded crowd. This feeling is very fresh and exciting. Maybe he didn't pay attention to them a little bit. People will find out, and it will be on the headlines of the newspaper the next day, but this feeling of fear of being found out when I did something bad when I was a child is also very satisfying.
The theater was bustling, and the whole room was completely quiet until after the commercial ended.
The melodious sound of the flute sounded, the rustling wind blew by, and the large emerald green bamboo leaves moved with the wind, and the melodious notes seemed to flow through the gaps of each bamboo leaf, slowly drifting towards the blue sky , the sound of horseshoes came, a man in Tsing Yi was sitting on the carriage, holding a white jade flute in his hand, the man in white next to him sneaked up, he turned his head to avoid it, jumped onto the bamboo forest, and turned his head to reveal a pair of smiling eyes. Dan Fengyan, followed by the white-clothed man, smiled and spat, "Yue Chaoge, you are lying!"
The sound of the flute and the laughter drifted farther and farther away, and two figures, one green and one white, shuttled across the large flowing green bamboo leaves. They were youthful spirits, lashing out at Fang Qiu, and in a blink of an eye, a large group of crows flitted across the sky, and the camera zoomed in The farther away, the fierce zither sound broke the silver bottle and tore apart the dusk. At this time, a roar came from the yellow tile and red wall, "Kill!"
Thousands of troops and horses broke through the Golden Palace, the people in Tsing Yi were covered with blood, and a drop of blood fell from the ink sword. "Dida—" a dazzling red was reflected on the screen, and a grief-stricken cry came. The sound of the flute came again, and a huge subtitle appeared on the screen: Produced by Xinghui International Entertainment Co., Ltd.
Producer: Meng Liangchen
Director: Morikawa
——"Song of the Setting Sun"
The subtitles like blood drops were swallowed by the screen, and the whole theater was plunged into pitch darkness, nothing could be heard or seen. After a short silence, a hoarse voice came from the surround sound system: "I always thought that all my life would be This kind of insipid past, I didn’t understand until I met him, some people are like Jie.”
The flexible and hoarse voice is very low, even like talking to himself, and he didn't deliberately tell anyone, but when the pervasive speakers amplify every syllable infinitely, his voice seems to be stuck in the On the skin, like water seeping in before it could be wiped off, it rushed into the blood vessels of the whole body.
Everyone was stunned, and some even dug their ears. After a short silence, commotion broke out in the theater.
"...Whose voice is this?"
"Why is his voice so strange, when I hear it, my whole body feels like a bug..."
"That's right, that's how it feels! I thought there was something wrong with my ears! I didn't remember this sound when I watched the film before?"
Luo Qiubai scratched his hair in embarrassment when the sound of discussion came. He didn't think there was any problem with his voice, and he didn't hear any problem. He tugged at Qi Feng next to him and whispered, " Don't everyone have the same strange disease as you? No way..."
Qi Feng gave a cold snort of extreme displeasure, pulled his hand out all of a sudden, turned his head and gave him a cold look, "Stop being sentimental, you won't be able to speak normally when making a movie, how many people are you trying to seduce?! "
Luo Qiubai froze for a moment, feeling quite aggrieved and ridiculous, he didn't understand what the big bird monster was talking about, anyway, in this man's head, whatever he said was to seduce people, it was purely a disease of the head.
The screen lit up, and Yue Chaoge killed a Jin Yiwei who was attacking from behind with a sword. The white horse was not stained with blood at all. He took out a token from the dead body, weighed it in his hand, and clenched his palm. The token turned into powder, and he sneered, "I, Yue Chaoge, He De He Neng, actually got into trouble with the emperor's old man. This is really interesting."
The same tone sounded again, and the wind blew the gauze over his face, revealing half of his face.
At this time, someone exclaimed in a low voice: "This... is Luo Qiubai's voice!?"
As the screen turned, Luo Qiubai's face and voice overlapped together. When watching the clips before, his acting skills and voice were separated, and the audience couldn't match it at all. Before his film and television works and live live, he He has always been a foil and rarely speaks, so no one has noticed that he has such a good voice!
No wonder the crew deliberately erased his lines in the trailer. Is this the biggest selling point of "Song of the Setting Sun"?
For a moment, the hearts of the audience were suspended, and they all hoped that Luo Qiubai would appear on the stage more, so that they could study again what was going on with his voice.
Qi Feng snorted coldly, his face was extremely ugly, Luo Qiubai was amused by his reaction, and brought the juice to his mouth, "Hey, where did you get so hot, drink some juice, it's sour and not bad .”
His wife handed it to his mouth, and Qi Feng reluctantly took a sip in his posture, and uttered a single sound from his nasal cavity, don't think that I will forgive you for being courteous.
She gave him a vicious look and said, "Sooner or later, you will quit the entertainment industry for me."
Luo Qiubai chuckled, but didn't speak.
The movie continues, starting when Yue Chaoge is ambushed by Jin Yiwei, and Jian Tong disguises himself as a knight who sees injustice and rescues him. The two have similar interests, and they both talk well, and they quickly become confidants.
Two people practice swords together, bicker with each other, fight over a beggar chicken, and share a fur in the cold winter months. When Jian Tong defends Yue Chaoge from the poisonous arrow from Jin Yiwei, he will cry with Yue Chaoge.
As the plot unfolded, Jian Tong's identity as emperor was finally exposed. He murdered Yue Chaoge again and again, driving him into a desperate situation. Falling down, the two former confidantes drew their swords at each other, Jian Tong was seriously injured, Yue Chaoge felt compassion at the last moment, and did not give him the last blow.
The bright red blood stained the white snow, Yue Chaoge grabbed Jian Tong's bloody hand, and asked him in a hoarse voice, "If we let go of our grudges and live in seclusion as before, you are not a fake emperor, and I am not a real prince. Carefree fool, would you like to?"
Jian Tong coughed violently, spit out a mouthful of blood foam, "...you...dream..."
Then a poisoned dagger almost pierced Yue Chaoge's heart.
The friendship was in vain, and Jian Tong was rescued by Jin Yiwei, and began his endless pursuit of Yue Chaoge.Yue Chaoge's mother and master were all killed by him, and his heart died. Yue Chaoge vowed to return to the country.
On the surface, Jian Tong is humble and gentle, but in fact he has a vicious heart. After he took the throne, he washed the palace and the previous court bloody. Collusion, when Jiantong sent [-] troops to only the imperial city to block Yue Chaoge's attack, the general surrendered and opened the door to greet him. Yue Chaoge reached the gate of the palace without a single soldier.
That night, the raging flames lit up half of the capital, the ground under his feet was shaking, and the miserable fights and shouts could be heard from a distance. Countless corpses walked up to Jian Tong step by step.
There was blood all over the ground. Jian Tong took off his dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair wearing only a moon white robe. Watching Yue Chaoge in green clothes and black sword slowly approaching, the melodious sound of the flute played again, just like the two people back then. It was the same when they first met, but it was a pity that the past was like a knife, and when they met again, the two of them were no longer the wanton playboys in the past.
"...Brother Tong, you have gray hair."
Yue Chaoge opened his mouth with a smile, his pupils fluttered, and Fu Ronggou's voice with a hoarse tremolo struck everyone's hearts.
Jian Tong's eyes were red for a moment, he held the armrest of the dragon chair tightly, nodded with a smile, "Yes, Xiaoyue, you are getting old too."
The two people looked at each other silently, there was a loud sound of fighting outside the Golden Luan Hall, blood splashed out from the saber pierced into the flesh, and splashed on the red lacquered gate all at once.
"I've been thinking about what it will be like if I see you again. I'm so afraid of you coming, but I have some expectations in my heart. In fact, as long as I don't fight back, you will come sooner, but I don't dare to see you so soon. You, because I'm afraid I can't help but kill you, so I'm afraid I'll never see you again?"
Yue Chaoge tightly pursed his lips, his eyes were bleak, but there was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, "Actually, I was hoping that when I first saw you trusting in you, you would just kill me a little bit, and you could just kill me." Save yourself from going to this point today.”
"Is the bamboo in Qingyun Mountain okay? I remember that you carved a line of small characters on one of them back then, put my name and yours together, and named it, what is it called..."
"Jian Gezhu, because I'm afraid that when we separated back then, if we didn't recognize each other, we could go to that pillar and sing a simple ditty, so that no matter how long we've been apart, we won't be afraid of meeting each other again."
Jian Tong laughed so hard that tears came out, "Jian Gezhu...what's the use, after all, even if we meet again, we should not know each other, it's very good, very good."
After saying this, he slowly got off the dragon chair and walked up to Yue Chaoge step by step.
He is so much taller than him, like the two brothers back then, he reached out and hugged him, "You have grown so tall..."
A dagger pierced the back of Yue Chaoge's heart, and blood flowed out and soaked his blue clothes. He remained unmoved, closed his eyes and breathed rapidly, and the eyelashes on Danfeng's eyes kept trembling.
He watched Jian Tong slide down little by little, a large stream of blood poured out from the white robe on his chest, and finally fell to the ground.
Yue Chao clenched a dagger on the singer, Jian Tong gave him a last glance, smiling and nodded, "...yes, why... forgot, you said, you won't give me a third time... ...the opportunity to steal..."
"Xiaoyue" was not spoken in the end, and Jian Tong was unable to move again.
A tear fell on the cold stone slab, Yue Chaoge trembled all over, walked over slowly, covered his eyes with bloody hands, his eyes were flushed, "I will not shed a tear for you, absolutely not."
The melodious flute sounded again, the ancient bell was struck, and the sun dyed the earth and the green bamboo forest red.
Yue Chaoge stood at the bottom of the steps, watching Jian Tong's six-year-old son walk up to the Golden Luan Hall step by step.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" He knelt down with the courtiers, his black hair spread all over the floor.
When he raised his head again, it was dusk, and he was already full of white hair, hunched over, leading a white horse, and walking in the lonely and emerald green bamboo forest at dusk.
At that time, the setting sun was just right, and the wind was blowing and the bamboo leaves were rustling.
The old man's voice was hoarse, humming a ditty flexibly, and the bamboo forest deeply covered his blue robe.
He was probably looking for the bamboo on which the words were engraved, when the sounds of the teenagers fighting came.
He said: "Yue Chaoge, you are cheating!"
He retorted, "You were the one who attacked."
The camera falls on the thin line of small letters on the green bamboo, the white horse is lying on one side, and next to it is a handful of loess. There is no monument and no name, but it is still alive.
"—I didn't realize until I met him that some people are like Jie."
Ten seconds later, the melodious sound of the flute drifted away, and red subtitles slowly appeared on the black curtain.
Starring:
Yue Chaoge: Luo Qiubai
Jian Tong: Ye Cheng
……
At the same time, the headlights came on, and the auditorium was brightly lit.
Qi Feng glanced at Luo Qiubai, and held his hand tightly, obviously he was into the drama.
