When the young man waited patiently for his answer, he suddenly sniffed, looked at Du Caige up and down, and then looked at Duan Xiaochen who was wearing a mask, and asked in doubt: "Are you some celebrity? I feel that you are very Familiar."

Du Caige regretted going out without putting on a disguise.

At this time, Xiaochen interjected, "He's a drama actor, he's also half an insider, he appeared in Chang Xiaoling's MV!"

"So that's it!" The young man showed a sudden realization, as if he remembered something.

Du Caige smiled helplessly, "This song is the work of an underground band. It hasn't been finished yet, so it hasn't been released yet. I have a good relationship with this band and heard them sing it. Please don't spread it!"

"Okay." The young man sat back helplessly.

Du Caige asked Duan Xiaochen in a low voice, "Why Chang Xiaoling?"

Duan Xiaochen hid in his arms with a smile, "At his age, his favorite singers are nothing more than Chang Xiaoling, Zou Yuzhu, Sun Nianhan, and Xie Yunzi. They are known as the four little queens of the new generation."

Du Caige nodded, and continued to introduce San Jose, "San Jose is also in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the climate is very comfortable, with at least 300 days of sunshine every year, neither too hot nor cold in winter. San Jose and Los Angeles, Oakland It's all very close. You know Silicon Valley, right?"

Duan Xiaochen nodded in surprise: "I know, I know!"

"Silicon Valley is in San Jose," Du Caige told him with a smile, "A considerable part of the high-tech companies in the Stars and Stripes are located in Silicon Valley. The educational resources around San Jose are also very rich. If children want to go to college in the future, there are Berkeley and Stanford nearby. There are prestigious schools to choose from.”

"Where did I get the child?" Duan Xiaochen pretended to be angry.

The reason why she was pretending to be angry was because of the undisguised smile in her eyes.

"Well, if you want to have a baby, I can help." Du Caige said that he would do his part.

Duan Xiaochen rolled his eyes at him, his eyes were so charming that water dripped out, "You said that! I didn't force you!"

"Well, I said it."

"What if the creation of man fails?"

"Twice if you fail once, and three times if you fail twice. In short, until you succeed, it's not a hard job anyway." Du Caige accidentally drove off, "You know, the San Francisco Bay Area is the area with the most Chinese people in the Stars and Stripes. San Jose is also in the Bay Area, and there are a lot of Chinese there. Living there will be more convenient. Many shops have Chinese signs and restaurants have Chinese menus. San Francisco is only a few 10 minutes away, which is very convenient.”

"It's also very convenient to go to Los Angeles from San Jose. It only takes an hour by plane. If you drive by yourself, the scenery along the way is good, and it only takes more than 5 hours to get there. In the next few years, the focus of your career will definitely be in Los Angeles, so I think Should live not far from Los Angeles."

"Another point is that the law and order in San Jose is the best in the Stars and Stripes. I remember that it has been the city with the lowest crime rate for many years. The Stars and Stripes are full of guns. Without our domestic security, various vicious cases have occurred. The rate is much higher than that in our country. Even if we all have money to live in high-end neighborhoods and can afford bodyguards, we still have to consider security issues. So, considering all things considered, I think it’s good to settle in San Jose.”

Duan Xiaochen nodded thoughtfully.

Du Caige tentatively said, "Why don't I go to the Stars and Stripes this time and go to San Jose to look at the house by the way?"

Duan Xiaochen said reservedly: "Just go and see, no one is stopping you, so you don't need to report to me."

Du Caige smiled and said, "The one who needs to report is that you live after all."

"I didn't say that I must go to the Stars and Stripes to settle down."

Du Caige knew that she had actually decided to live in the Stars and Stripes.

Although she didn't know why she had such an idea, it wasn't a bad thing for him.

If Duan Xiaochen wants to become an international superstar, he really needs to increase his influence in the Stars and Stripes. After all, the market here is too huge, and it can deeply affect the European market and the Sakurajima market.

And if you want to capture the Stars and Stripes market, you must often appear on TV programs and attend various events in order to maintain a certain degree of exposure.

It would be too hard for Duan Xiaochen to fly back and forth between the Stars and Stripes Kingdom and the Great Hua Kingdom every now and then as a trapeze artist.

It's better to let her live in the Stars and Stripes for a long time in the next few years, and focus her career there.

Seeing that the movie is about to start, Du Caige took her hand and walked into the theater, "Anyway, I'll go check it out first, so I'll be prepared."

"It's up to you." Duan Xiaochen was expressionless, even if he had expression, it was blocked by the mask.But there was a happy light in her eyes.

"I just bought a house in several cities, and we can take turns living in several cities. There are several high-quality ski resorts in northern California. If we want to ski in winter, we will go to Lake Tahoe. If we want to play music, we will go there. New Orleans, go to Chicago to live for a while. If you want to watch basketball, go back to Los Angeles and watch the Lakers game.”

"It's up to you." Duan Xiaochen embraced Du Caige's arm, looking forward to the future happily like an ordinary couple.

Chapter 720

"Do you think the movie is good?"

Holding Du Caige's hand, being coerced by the crowd, and slowly walking out of the theater, Duan Xiaochen asked.

As a professional, Du Caige certainly would not simply use "good-looking" or "not good-looking" to evaluate a movie.

To evaluate a movie professionally, it must be from many aspects: for example, is the script excellent?Is the story exciting and complete, are the characters outstanding, and are the lines attractive?

The use of various technologies, photography, sound effects, special effects, editing, art, including makeup, etc... Is it in place?Is it skillful?

Are the props in the movie, including the costumes of the actors, the spaceships, the bicycles, the small ornaments on the table that reflect the character of the characters, the posters and photos on the wall, etc., are they real?Is it in place?

Does the style of the film have its own style?Or a stitch monster?What style is it, nonsensical?Warmth?Sharp and cool CULT style?Can it accurately target the target group?

Does the film have enough connotation and sublimation to arouse the audience's emotional resonance, prompt people to think, and make people understand something other than the film?

This is a very complex evaluation system.

For example, in the category of "photography", there are multiple details such as color, light and shade, and angle that need to be carefully evaluated.

Just say "angle". The angle of the camera can be used to express the subjective line of sight of the characters and express the psychological feelings of the characters in the movie.

It can also be used to express the producer's line of sight and implicitly express the producer's subjective evaluation.

It can also make the eyes of the characters in the movie merge with the audience's point of view to gain the audience's psychological identity.

It can be used to describe a character, or it can be used to represent a profound experience.

For example, in the camera, following a beautiful woman all the time can reflect the character's longing and yearning for that beautiful woman at this time.

In the shot, a character slams the door and the camera lands on the trembling door, which can reflect the pain, anger and other emotions in the character's heart at this time.

The lens is alive, and the angle is also alive.

So in a movie, are the angles of each camera reasonable?

What angle is most commonly used?

Is it the perspective of an ordinary adult—flat angle?

Or from a child's point of view - elevation?

Or use a lot of depression angles to show the big scene?

Are these angles reasonable?

When showing a certain scene, is it more appropriate to use another angle?

Are the angles and depth of field handled properly?

Look, just a "camera angle" issue, there are many places that can be discussed.

So it is difficult to simply use "good-looking" and "not good-looking" to evaluate a movie.

Viewers can say so.

But if professionals can only comment on "good-looking" and "not good-looking", then it's over.

Because, very few movies meet everyone's expectations.

Why is it that even the most classic movies are only a few minutes past nine?Instead of 10 points?

Because there are always people who don't like to watch it, they gave it 3 stars, 2 stars, and even 1 star.

And he's not being arguing, he really doesn't like it, and he can tell you why he doesn't like to watch it plausibly.

Therefore, for professionals, when evaluating a movie, they should not evaluate whether it is good or not, but from multiple perspectives to judge where the movie is doing well and where it is not doing well.

However, Du Caige knew that Duan Xiaochen didn't want to hear his professional advice, but just wanted to have a common language with him and form an emotional resonance.

So he rationally replied in three words: "It's not good-looking."

He also shook his head sincerely, saying that he really didn't like the movie.

Duan Xiaochen nodded in satisfaction, "I also think it's not good-looking. It's a pity, the actors are pretty good, and the photography is also very good. It's a pity that the story is a mess."

Du Caige said to himself, it's not that the story was told in a mess.

Shu Yihuan's narrative skills are there.

The point is, he got the point wrong.

Don't focus on the narrative.

Instead, the narrative is only used as a foreshadowing, and the focus is on the inner conflict and growth of the characters; a large number of shots that have nothing to do with the narrative are used to portray the psychology of the characters, and to show certain metaphors and symbolic meanings.

Metaphors are not bad, but too many, which seem cumbersome for an action movie.

Shu Yihuan really wanted to express something with camera language.

And he ignored that, in fact, the audience doesn't want to watch these...

It can even be said that as a literary film, "Lord Admiral" is qualified.

But fans have something to say.

We paid dozens of dollars for tickets, and we came here to have fun, to watch the bang bang ping pong fights and the excitement of swords and swords!

Watching the blood shoot, but also watching the battle to the extreme.

Look at the happy kindness and hatred, but also look at the chivalrous and tender heart.

But what the hell are you showing us?

To watch literary and artistic films, I turn on the computer at home and log in to Coolplay Video Network, buy a membership, spend 3 yuan to order one, and watch it while drinking happy water from the abandoned house. Isn’t it delicious?

Hours of commuting back and forth, plus waiting time, plus expensive movie tickets, and you just show me this?

That's it?

It's no wonder that the previous fans almost all gave bad reviews.

You know, most of the people who will watch the premiere today are die-hard fans of Shu Yihuan.

Even hardcore fans couldn't bear it and died of poison, let alone ordinary viewers.

After watching the movie, Du Caige felt that he could make a conclusion.

Shu Yihuan rushed to the street.

Even the gods can't save it.

When Du Caige brought Duan Xiaochen home, it was already past 12 o'clock.

This is not the first time Duan Xiaochen has come here, nor is it the first time to spend the night here.

She went to her usual guest room with ease and made the bed.

Just about to take a bath, when she turned around, she saw a figure standing behind her, and she was startled.

Taking a closer look, she saw that it was Du Caige, and she couldn't help but blame: "Why, deliberately scaring people? You don't make a sound when you walk."

Du Caige smiled and said, "My mother is already asleep. Qiqi is also asleep."

Duan Xiaochen raised his eyebrows, "So?"

Du Caige didn't speak, but his burning eyes said everything.

……

In the middle of the night, Long Jiumei got up to go to the bathroom.

There was a toilet in her bedroom, but the sewer was blocked and no one was called to fix it today, so she went to the next room to use the toilet in a daze.

Opening the door and looking through the stars, she found that the blanket on the big bed in the room was spread out, but there was no sign of anyone sleeping.

At this time, some strange sounds came from the next son's room.

Because Long Jiumei was dazed, she didn't think much, just curious, and went to her son's room after untying her hand.

Halfway through, the sound was intermittent, but it became more and more obvious.

After all, Long Jiumei wasn't stupid, it was just that she was confused and absent-minded before.

At this moment, she immediately recalled it, stopped, shook her head, and muttered: "Your sister is still at home..."

Chapter 721 Word of Mouth Collapse

In the early hours of the 21st, film reviews of "The Admiral" were released one after another.

Until noon on the 21st, the word-of-mouth of "Master Admiral" gathered from various channels was not optimistic.

Even for film critics who are obviously looking for a good meal, it is difficult to brag about it. After all, if they break the signboard, it will be difficult to think about the good meal in the future.
