Chapter 1238 Familiar Recipes, Familiar Tastes

Although the filming of "Harmony" had twists and turns, overall it was very smooth.

After all, it's not a difficult movie to make.

The outside world is still looking forward to this movie. After all, this movie is the mother-son version of Li Yi's first film "The Gift of Room No. [-]" that made him famous.

In fact, from a commercial point of view, "Harmony" is definitely more exciting than "The Gift of Room No. [-]". After all, when "The Gift of Room No. [-]" was released, Li Yi was just A penniless hit the street.

Although the completion speed of "Harmony" can't be compared with the speed of Hong Kong films, well, it just can't be compared.

But it's still pretty fast, don't get me wrong, it's making movies fast, not that fast.

For a movie like this, it can be said that there is almost no need for on-demand screenings.

After all, there is "The Gift of Room No. [-]" as a base.

The premiere was not held on Hong Kong Island, but in a theater directly under Oceanwide Cinemas when "The Gift of Room No. [-]" was released.

The premiere ceremony is naturally star-studded. For media reporters, it is natural that they feel that they have lost the hand that only presses the shutter, but for Li Yi's earliest die-hard movie fans, it is a proper feeling.

For example, Lu Xinguang and Chu Xixi, and Ou Mingming, etc.

In particular, Lu Xinguang and Chu Xixi have been married for many years. When they looked at the commemorative poster of the domestic horror film version of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" that was specially placed at the door, they would They looked at each other tacitly and smiled.

"I was fooled by this poster back then!"

"Yes, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

"In the past, the movies directed by dogs were really not liked by dogs. Who would have thought that they would be here today? Produced by Li Yi, they must be high-quality goods! Director Li Yi's works have also become the most shining business cards of Chinese-language movies. .”

""The Gift of Room No. [-]" is his starting point, and it is also the starting point of the movies directed by Fangou, who are real die-hard movie fans!"

"I remember when I first watched "The Gift of Room No. [-]", the beginning was from the priest of the magic stick. I really thought it was a f*cking horror movie, but I cried after watching it."

"We cried together!"

"."

Many hardcore old movie fans who were invited couldn't help feeling emotional when they passed the commemorative poster roll-up at the door.

Of course, things like hyping feelings are very common in the film and television industry, but things like Li Yi's this time are relatively rare.

The huge theater is full of seats.

This is not surprising. In fact, the prices for the tickets for the premiere have already been sky-high on the Internet.

It's just a pity that the tickets for this premiere are not for sale, and all are invitation-only.

For those movie fans who got the invitation letter, how could it be possible to sell it?

Li Yi stepped onto the main stage.

The host of today's premiere is Li Yi himself.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, there was roaring applause from below.

"Many of you who are here today are my old friends. Many of you, I may not be able to name them, but I have seen them many times at the premiere of my movie or at the screening. of.

Thank you, thank you for your continued support.

I remember my first movie back then, so I won’t mention the title. Anyway, I screwed up that movie. At that time, I remember hanging around bars every day, drunk and dreaming. "

Standing there, Li Yi couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

About Li Yi's previous experience, it has long been no secret, it can be said that almost everyone knows it.

For this reason, many filmmakers, media people, and movie fans were equally amazed.

"At that time, I wanted to shoot "The Gift of Room No. [-]". No one believed that I would be successful, including my old man and mother, but in the end my old man still took out his own family, not only that, but also contacted me. I asked Uncle You Ningsheng to read the script.

The filming has started, but no one is willing to believe that the poor player who can play a good hand of cards can turn a salty fish over.

In fact, I will always remember that scene when the filming was over and the screening was held. Many theater representatives sent interns to go through the scene.

After the movie viewing session is over, even though many people think the movie is well made, no one is willing to release it.

If the movie is made, if it cannot be released, it is tantamount to continuing to hit the street.

Oceanwide Film and Television was the only company that was willing to distribute this movie, even though Oceanwide Film and Television was still a small company at that time, and they only released some domestic horror films in the past.

"The Gift of Room No. [-]" has found a distributor, but it still faces a big problem, that is, publicity. At that time, we could not afford any publicity expenses, and Fanhai Film and Television did not have the resources in this regard.

Even the release of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" can only be done under the banner of a domestic horror film."

Li Yi looked back on the year on the stage, and many people in the audience looked at him in a daze.

"After so many years, the luckiest thing for me is that there are still so many people who support me and love my movies. Someone once asked me, you are not short of money, fame, or awards. Retired, why continue to make movies?
I couldn't answer this question before, but today, I believe I have found the answer. What am I trying to figure out?
There are so many people who call "Director Dog" affectionately, and there are still so many people who are looking forward to my new movie.

So, as long as you still like movies and my movies, I will keep making them!Thank you, thank you all! "

"Papa papa!" The audience stood up and applauded.

Many old movie fans burst into tears.

Many of them are not groupies. Of course, even groupies would not go after a director like Li Yi.

But they are still filled with emotion.

"Let's stop talking nonsense. Next, let's enjoy the movie together. As a director, I think the most fulfilling time is not when the movie wins an award, but in the movie theater, looking at the audience and me. If you want to cry, or laugh out loud, let’s start!”

After Li Yi finished speaking, the lights on the scene dimmed.

The big screen is on!
All eyes are on the big screen.

"Directed by Li Yi!"

Seeing the familiar subtitles, the theater suddenly burst into applause again.

After the subtitles, there is a sound montage, a cry of pain, and then the picture.

The opening chapter is the picture of giving birth.

Let the audience in the theater feel the pain of the heroine across the big screen.

Many film critics, celebrities and entertainers, as well as the directors who came to join in the show, all nodded.

"It's coming out soon, use your strength, do it again!"

"Come out, come out, come out!"

"You said that an hour ago!"

It was obviously a painful childbirth, but the audience in the theater couldn't help but burst out laughing.

However, the smile was quickly restrained. Although the conversation was quite funny, it also made people feel the pain of a mother in childbirth.

Said it an hour ago, that is to say, she has endured such pain for more than an hour.

When the baby's cry sounded, a new life was born, and the exhausted mother finally showed a smile.

The next moment, the warmth ended.

When the camera turned, it was an overhead long-range shot, which gave a close-up of the prison area of ​​the Luo Wu Correctional Institution on Hong Kong Island.

The camera cuts to show that the sewing machine is working non-stop.

"one year later!"

Subtitles indicate time.

A prison is still a prison.

The difference is that many years have passed, the prison in "The Gift of Room No. [-]" was Stanley Prison, but now the prison is Luohu Correctional Institution.

Although many people knew about the Luohu Correctional Institution before this, and heard that it was particularly exaggerated, the technologically-sounding building that appeared on the big screen still made many viewers somewhat inexplicably astonished.

Is this horse riding a real prison?
The camera switched again, showing an old lady with gray hair, reading glasses, and a prison uniform.

She skillfully sewed a piece of clothing with a sewing machine, then spread it out, looked at it, and showed a kind smile on her face.

If it weren't for the fact that she was wearing a prison uniform, which meant that she was a prisoner, everyone would think that she was a kind old lady.

This can't help but make people start to wonder, why did she come here recently?

The movie didn't give an answer right away. After laying down the foreshadowing, which was not a foreshadowing, the lens changed.

A hand puts a toy electronic organ into a box and closes it.

The camera was pulled away, and the owner of these hands appeared in the camera, which turned out to be a female prison guard.

On the playground, the female prisoners stood in a row, and a burly female prisoner was holding a basket, collecting things from the hands of these female prisoners one by one.

It's just confusing and surprising that the things these people handed to her turned out to be children's stuff.

When she reached the last female prisoner, she seemed a little embarrassed, and reached out to take out a straw ring, which made the burly female prisoner very dissatisfied.

She threw the straw ring on the opponent's face: "Who are you fooling? Are you fooling me?"

A woman behind her spat, and walked over with steps that her relatives did not recognize.

Picking up the grass ring from the ground: "What is this?"

"Because I don't have time to prepare." The female prisoner explained with some fear.

"Our Xiaoyu is going to hold a birthday party, so you give this one thing?"

This episode actually revealed a lot of things.

These two female prisoners are obviously "big sisters" here, so other female prisoners are so afraid of them.

And she mentioned that she will hold a birthday party for "Xiaoyu", which reminds her of the previous childbirth and a year later.

So many things can be guessed out.

Prison, boy!
It's still the original taste, it's still the original formula, as expected of you, Director Dog.

However, although the taste is the same as the recipe, it is still somewhat different. The father in "The Gift of Room No. [-]" secretly left his daughter in the prison after being imprisoned, but this place is obviously different. According to the laws and regulations of Hong Kong Island , It is forbidden for female prisoners to take their children to serve their sentences.

The camera switches again, a birthday cake with a candle in the middle, and the candle is lit.

The person who lit the candles turned out to be the female prison guard who had appeared before preparing gifts.

The female prison guard sat with several female prisoners, and there were bread, biscuits and other things on the table.

On the other side, a corner of the curtain was opened, and the heroine who gave birth before appeared. She was also wearing a prison uniform. She smiled when she saw everyone, and everyone else also smiled.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!"

A horrible, out-of-tune birthday song blared.

All the female prisoners, who were still smiling, couldn't help showing disgusted expressions.

It turned out that the one who sang out of tune and had a broken voice turned out to be the heroine played by Sun Yu.

As she sang, she helped a little guy in new clothes out.

Suddenly the little guy burst into tears.

On the big screen, the little people pursed their mouths and cried loudly.

"Didn't I tell you? Don't you sing in front of Xiaoyu?" The wrestler, that is, the burly female prisoner complained.

Then, she stepped forward and started touching the little guy's cheek to comfort him.

"Your voice is really scary for children! Even your own son can be scared to cry. How can there be such a sound in a human voice? I really don't understand!" Another female prisoner, the elder sister, also complained. road.

Miraculously, the heroine stopped singing, hugged the little guy and sat down, and the little guy stopped crying.

It's finally the little guy's birthday time, as long as his mother doesn't sing, he won't cry, and he can blow out the candles by himself cutely.

It's one year old, even though they are in prison, they still hold a catch week for the little guy.

Everyone recommends all kinds of things with good meanings, such as pencils, to study hard in the future.

For example, grasping the rope can be smooth sailing.

For example, grab a toy needle and become a doctor in the future.

However, the little guy didn't grab anything, but he caught the handcuffs at a glance!
Suddenly, everyone seemed to be strangled by the neck, and looked at the little guy dumbfounded.

The little guy himself was very happy, holding the handcuffs in his hands and smiling.

"Who put the handcuffs here?"

The handcuffs were accidentally put down by the female prison guard.

"The first to grab the handcuffs."

Everyone seemed a little depressed. They were prisoners themselves, and they only came in after committing a crime. Everyone had been handcuffed, so naturally their first reaction was depression.

Although grasping the week is just a moral, it is obviously not a good sign.

At this time, Wen Yu, the oldest female prisoner, suddenly laughed happily: "Oh, we Xiaoyu seem to want to be a judge!"

Her words immediately made Xiaoyu's mother smile: "Yes, we, Xiaoyu, will be judges in the future! Put all the bad guys in jail!"

It's just that she didn't choose what to say, but she forgot where they were at this moment.

Forgot, they were also sentenced by the judge and locked up here.

Immediately provoked the displeasure of the prisoners and sisters.

"If you can't speak, you should talk less!"

"That's right, singing is so scary, and talking is so stupid!"

The female prison guard took a camera and took a "family portrait" for them!
At this time, the director of the prison just passed by and heard the sound of the photo being washed out of the camera.

She stopped immediately!
