Big director

As a guest, Zhu Zimo also participated in the premiere with the crew of "Paradise Lost". Of course, Shen Pingzhang was on the platform, and he was an accompanying guest sitting in the auditorium.

This angle is really strange.

Most of the time, Shen Pingzhang stood next to or behind Director Zhu, and then they worked as a team to face the media and the audience. Even if they were sitting in the auditorium watching a movie, Zhu Zimo always acted for his own interests. Arranging Shen Pingzhang on the seat next to him, waiting for the lights to disappear and the place to be completely dark, and you can secretly shake hands or something, is simply refreshing.

But this time there are no such good benefits. When watching a movie, they also sit far away, and they are not in the same area. When interacting with everyone after watching the movie, Shen Pingzhang has to stand on the stage, but Zhu Zimo just To be able to sit in the audience and watch him.

Although it’s a little uncomfortable, it’s also very interesting to try this kind of perspective once in a while~ You can know the movie “Paradise Lost” just by looking at the title. It’s probably constructed with Western mythology as the background. legend.

In the seventeenth century, the British poet Milton wrote a twelve-volume "Paradise Lost", revealing the original sin and depravity of human beings with an epic style.In the poem, Satan, the fallen angel, was thrown into hell for resisting the authority of God, but he still did not want to repent, resisted in the corner, and found the Garden of Eden for revenge.The first ancestors of mankind, Adam and Eve, were lured by the snake possessed by Satan, and stole the fruit from the tree of discerning good and evil, which was forbidden by God.In the end, Satan and his accomplices were all turned into snakes by God, and Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden.

"Paradise Lost" corresponded to "Garden of Eden" at the beginning, and the Garden of Eden in the original text of the Bible has the meaning of "Paradise". It is an illusory paradise created by God to keep humans in captivity. Naked, without knowledge of good, evil, beauty, ugliness and shame, just like wild animals, play happily and live forever.But when they chose to eat the forbidden fruit, they became wise all of a sudden. After gaining wisdom, they could no longer just know how to be silly and happy every day like before. God drove them away in a rage. After leaving the Garden of Eden, they lost their eternal life and blessed land, and struggled to survive alone.

This "Genesis" story, which has been sung in the Bible for thousands of years, is very funny if its logic is carefully considered.

University scholar Su Dongpo once wrote a self-deprecating poem. The first two sentences are-"Literacy in life begins with troubles, but rough memorization of names can stop."

If you don’t understand anything, you don’t need to have so many troubles even if you eat, eat, and sleep every day. You say that human beings are so messed up all day, aren’t they just asking for trouble? !

But this poem is simply ironic and hypocritical, whoever believes is a fool.

Su Dongpo has suffered so much for his talent, but if he was really given a choice, would he possibly turn himself into an illiterate, foolish bastard?

However, this ridiculous logic has fascinated believers for thousands of years, thinking that the ancestors of human beings were simply stupid, so good places should not be used, but they were tempted by the devil to eat the fruit, and they would be punished and come to the world suffer.

They do everything possible, and what they are looking for is that one day they can return to the Garden of Eden, happy and worry-free.

However, as human civilization has become more progressive and more open, more and more people have begun to reflect—fortunately, there was the original "punishment"!The so-called "Garden of Eden" is actually a prison. Only when we "lose happiness" can we slowly transform into our own independent personality.All suffering, happiness, joy, and sorrow are all created by oneself, and gradually realized by oneself, this is the real life.

Therefore, in the movie "Paradise Lost", what I want to appeal is such a spirit-rebellion, unyielding, firmness, pursuit of freedom, pursuit of self-realization...

Director Shi Sen did not adapt Milton's epic, but borrowed such a shell to tell a magnificent chapter of a different world.

There are dragons and elves, knights and mages, nobles and poor people, the Church of the God of Light, and the boss devil played by Shen Pingzhang.

Zhu Zimo was in the audience, and when the devil played by Shen Pingzhang appeared, he snapped a few consecutive shots, edited it, and uploaded it to his Weibo page with a sentence——

""Paradise Lost" is very good, and watch the premiere, Zhang is so handsome!"

After posting it, he ignored it and concentrated on watching the movie.

It may be an occupational disease. His angle of watching movies now is quite different from before.

In particular, he had read the script of Paradise Lost.

You know, scripts and movies are basically two concepts.A good script, when the movie is made, if the director is bad, it may be a messy and stupid story that can't even make up the logic.And a piecemeal script that is simply a stream of consciousness, no one can understand it except the director, after the director's skilful editing, the final product may surprise people!

When communicating with Shi Sen before, Zhu Zimo felt that this is a very thoughtful director, and now it depends on whether he can control this story with a huge worldview.

……

The devil played by Shen Pingzhang is a very complicated character.

He is very arrogant and arrogant.I feel that other than him, whether it is human beings, elves... or monsters of the same race as him, they are all boring, weak, destructible ants with a strong tendency to destroy, just like a paranoid and elegant lunatic.

At the same time, he hated the God of Light and the Church of the God of Light even more, and felt that they were hypocritical and disgusting. If possible, he wanted to get rid of all these guys.

...The so-called every boss wants to destroy the world. Without the great ambition of destroying the world, what qualifications do you have to be a boss?

But if that's the case, then the Demon King is just an absolute villain with a force value against the sky, and he is no different from thousands of villains in essence, so let's not talk about charm.

But what is more ingenious is that when the Demon King "dueled" with the God of Light before, there was a little hidden danger in his body.

That is, every seven days, he will become a "human being" who has almost lost all his power, but has relatively strong power. It looks more like a fragile human being.

Even the most trusted confidants can't tell this secret, because the devil is worried that they will rebel when he is weak.But it’s not okay to hide it like this!Once every seven days is abnormal, unless he shuts himself up so that no one can see, otherwise as long as his eyes are not blind, who can't see it?

In fact, the Demon King has lived in seclusion for hundreds of years.

Then, he decided to disguise his identity and go for a walk in the world.

The story begins here.

Zhu Zimo was completely attracted by Shen Pingzhang's performance—the childish and weak devil king is so cute, he made a lot of jokes, was bullied by the rude "ants", and was rescued by the brainless "brave team", because The "blasphemy" God of Light was hunted down... and after a weak day passed, the black-bellied and brutal demon king returned...

He acted very naturally, even though he was only a supporting role, he almost stole the glory of the protagonist.Zhu Zimo carefully observed the audience around him, and found that they also liked the devil played by Shen Pingzhang very much, and some people exclaimed - "It's so cute!" They were evaluating a person.

The world view of the whole movie is huge, with dictatorial and decadent temples, numb poor people at the bottom, adventurous braves, powerful and violent dragons, elves who don't care about everything, greedy and stupid nobles...

However, the context of the story is very clear - a demon king who has sneaked into the brave team, followed the rebellious protagonist, and the protagonist's friends, while "death" everywhere, while looking for opportunities to overthrow the temple A story of control, a story in which you are in charge of your own destiny.

It's very clichéd, but under Shi Sen's lens, he narrates, with tears in his laughter, impassioned and so on. In short, it exceeds Zhu Zimo's expectations. He really thinks that the filming of this movie is good, and the special effects are also very good. , at least worthy of the blockbuster level.So when the movie ended, Zhu Zimo clapped along with all the audience.

Next is interaction time.

The media and film critics in the United States are a little bit more pungent. From time to time, tricky questions appear on the stage. There are also several questions related to Shen Pingzhang, such as "Why do you want an oriental face to play the role of the devil? Don't you think it violates harmony?", " Is it because they want to please the audience in the East, and the producer is very ambitious for the ticket warehouse there?" and so on.

Shen Pingzhang also answered a few questions. He was neither humble nor overbearing. He was fluent in English, as if he grew up in the United States. Occasionally, he made a little joke, and not everyone was so rude. Like some people said, Shen Pingzhang At that time, Shen Pingzhang thanked him with a smile. He has the gentleness and humility unique to the oriental people, and he has nothing in common with the domineering and evil king on the screen. Zhu Zimo heard the nearby audience, some Sighing that the real person doesn't look as "spicy" as the character, and some people are praising Shen Pingzhang's acting skills...it's so fun.

After the opening ceremony here is over, they are going to return to China to complete the domestic pre-publicity.

The plane is at night, so they can still stay in the United States for half a day.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhu Zimo took Shen Pingzhang to visit the graves of his "parents and relatives".

Although they are not his parents or relatives, at least Zhu Zimo is not ungrateful because of his status, and it is also due to go and see.Besides, he didn't come here very often, and now that he's in the United States, he doesn't go to see it. Isn't this just waiting to be suspected?

Of course, what he didn't know was that Shen Pingzhang had suspected him early in the morning, but he just kept silent.

The fear is that if Zhu Zimo is really "inhuman", once he is exposed, he will turn into a butterfly and fly away... Where can I find him?

It's better to play dumb than take such a big risk.It's rare to be confused in life.

And deep down in his heart, Shen Pingzhang is actually a very proud person. He is confident that with the love between him and Zhu Zimo, Zhu Zimo will tell him sooner or later, no matter what kind of secrets he has.It's probably like game enthusiasts working hard every day to get the most awesome title. Obviously, they can buy it with money, but it's not that they don't have money, but how can it be interesting to buy it by themselves?

Even if he got a compromise by forcing him to ask, he wouldn't feel comfortable in his heart, so Zhu Zimo had to take the initiative to confess to him!

While sweeping the tomb, he took a closer look at the appearance of Zhu Zimo's "parents", and felt more and more that Zhu Zimo had nothing in common with them.He had found out the layout specifications of the tombs in the United States before, and he took a closer look this time, and found that there was an unsigned tomb, which was a bit strange. Judging from its location, it should also be his relatives, and the owner of the tomb should be dead. I was still a minor when I was a child...Zhu Zimo put a bunch of white campanulas in front of that cemetery—whose tomb is this?

Although he felt weird, Shen Pingzhang still didn't say anything, and then they took a plane back to China that night.

It was night when I got on the plane, and it was also night when I got off the plane, so it was quieter, and it saved fans from coming to pick me up from the plane, making everyone lose their heads.

After getting off the plane, Zhu Zimo turned on his mobile phone and found that Weibo was all red, and it was almost impossible to open it.

The two of them and several other crew members of "Paradise Lost" accompanied them. They took the first-class cabin on the return trip, which was relatively comfortable, so they took a makeshift sleep. awake.The producer had already booked a hotel for them. At this time, the hotel car picked them up with a sign. Shen Pingzhang did not live with them, so the two of them did not take the hotel car with the crew members, but went with the car that picked them up. The assistant is gone.

Now that no outsiders were around, the two of them finally relaxed completely.

Seeing the popularity of Weibo right now, Zhu Zimo was shocked for a moment, and then immediately remembered, yes, when he was watching the premiere, he took a few photos and posted them on Weibo.

Later, I was afraid of disturbing myself watching a movie, so I turned off the phone directly, and then I was busy sweeping the grave and playing romance with Shen Pingzhang... I didn't think of turning it on, and I didn't need to turn it on when I got on the plane, so, counting him It has been shut down for more than a day!

It seems that the response to that Weibo post is very good!

Buzzing reminders kept ringing in my ears, Shen Pingzhang poked his head over: "What's going on?"

"Hehehe..." Zhu Zimo ignored him and went to read the comments under that Weibo.

In more than a day, the number of reposts has reached [-], the number of comments has reached [-], and the number of likes has reached [-]. There are countless @他的, DM him. .

Hmph, is Shen Pingzhang so attractive?Director Zhu glared at Shen Pingzhang next to him unhappily.

Shen Pingzhang: "..." What the hell are you doing?
