billion box office tycoon

When the movie ended, along with the sound of the ending music, there were rows of main creators and cast members. Before Fan Xiaoyue had time to digest the final plot of the movie, she was caught by the name of the leading actor.

Yin Lan.

Fan Xiaoyue chewed the name several times in her mind, but she still didn't have the slightest impression. With such excellent acting skills and that "prosperous beauty", how could she really be a newcomer?

Could it be some internet celebrity?She thought about it, and felt that this possibility was not very high. If it was an Internet celebrity, it would have been picked up as early as when the clips were uploaded overwhelmingly on the Internet.

After knowing the lead actor's name, she stood up without hesitation and was about to leave, but the moment she looked away, the names of the director and producer appeared on the big screen, and the word "Ye Weilin" completely stunned her In place.

She thought of that signature, and even more of the coincidence just now.

Fan Xiaoyue subconsciously looked at Ye Weilin's seat, that row of seats was empty at the moment.

The theater lights came on, and she walked out of the auditorium in a daze, and there were various exclamations from the side.

"This movie scared me to death..." a girl couldn't help complaining, but there was no dissatisfaction in her tone.

"You pinched your arms black!" The boy rolled up his cuffs to the girl, exposing his red arms.

Here is the laughter between lovers, and the other side is the discussion about the ending——

"What does the last scene mean? Is it a dream within a dream?"

"I don't think it's necessarily a dream, maybe it's a means to heal the hero's psychological trauma after his parents died in a car accident."

"Huh? How did you see that?"

"Don't you think the narration is very strange? And..."

Although there were not many people watching the movie late at night, they were all in groups of twos and threes. Only Fan Xiaoyue came alone. She was also puzzled by the ending and some content in the movie, but she had to go back and browse the web to find out. .

As soon as Ye Weilin walked out of the theater, he received several calls and messages. Some were from teachers and classmates who were there to support him, some were from the crew of "Old Charm", and there were also some good friends. He lowered his head and pressed the phone for a long time before finally I found out that I had separated from Fu Qi unknowingly.

This kid, didn't he say he'd like to have sex after watching the movie?

"Brother?" Seeing that Ye Weilin stopped suddenly, Yin Lan couldn't help but wondered.

"It's okay." He shook his head, looked at Yin Lan who was almost as tall as him beside him, and said with a smile, "You seem to have grown a little taller."

"Really?" Yin Lan didn't pay much attention to her height. Hearing what Ye Weilin said, she secretly compared her and found that she had indeed grown taller.

More than two years ago, he was next to the other party's ear. When we met half a year ago, he was above the other party's eyebrows. Now, he seems to be on par with the other party.

"It's almost enough to grow to 1.8 meters five, and it's better not to exceed 1.9 meters," Ye Weilin said with a smile, "Too high will affect your acting."

Looking at the well-behaved Yin Lan beside him, Ye Weilin couldn't help but think of him who had an amazing performance on the big screen just now, and at the same time, he was determined to cultivate him into a talent, so that his acting talent can be fully displayed on the big screen .

Early the next morning, Ye Weilin went to browse the web as usual. He doesn't have much hope for the box office of "The Phantom of Hometown". In the middle of the night, traffic is limited.

Of course, the reason why he can calmly make a rational estimate and not feel frustrated about it is because his goal has been achieved.

There are two original intentions for making this film. One is to make a film of higher quality than "Zhuang Nu Dream Butterfly".The second is to recover the investment cost, gain popularity in the industry, accumulate capital for the next director career, and attract investors.

Undoubtedly, both did.

The former is affirmative, as for the latter, needless to say in terms of popularity, in terms of cost, even if the attendance rate is only 5.00%, or even [-]%, according to this arrangement, the coverage rate has far exceeded.

He searched the Internet just to see the public's comments and feedback.

On Weibo, the hot search for the film that has only been posted for less than a day has been ranked in the top ten again. It seems that there are quite a few people watching the film last night. Ye Weilin opened the Weibo that forwarded K station, and the following area There are tens of thousands of comments.

In addition to the discussion about the trailer two days ago, there were quite a few people who commented after watching the premiere yesterday. Most of them were discussing two things. One was the origin of Yin Lan, who played the leading role.One is speculation about the ending of the movie.

Ye Weilin soon saw the information about Yin Lan in the popular comments. In this information age with convenient Internet, the powerful netizens finally found out that Yin Lan had acted in the micro-movie "Zhuang Nu Meng Die".

They followed the clues and found out that the director and producer of the two films are the same person.

Ye Weilin was not interested in these things. He closed Weibo after a quick glance, and opened a well-known domestic movie review forum. After he typed the name of the movie and searched, a message appeared.

"The Phantom of Hometown" Director: Ye Weilin, Fu Qi / Starring: Yin Lan Average Score: 7.2 Number of Scores: 67 Critics: 42

Ye Weilin was a little surprised when he saw the number of movie reviews. Although this movie review forum is currently the most trafficked and well-known website in China, in fact, there are many people who read movie reviews, but few people write movie reviews.Generally, for a movie that has just been released, it is good to have a few hundred movie reviews, but "The Phantom of Hometown" has only been released for one day!Not to mention that the schedule is scheduled late at night, and there is only one chance to watch it every day.

After clicking on the movie review, there are 4 long reviews and 28 short reviews.

Ye Weilin browsed through the short reviews first.

Most of them are positive, which means that this movie has done its best in horror elements. I originally went there with a good impression of the male protagonist's appearance, but was unexpectedly moved by the picture and plot.

Of course, it is impossible for everything to be affirmed by everyone. There are good and bad.

The bad reviews are the same as the good ones, they have something in common. One is that the ending of the movie is a bit mysterious and the director is showing off the plot;

In fact, Ye Weilin also knows that the final explanation of the film is somewhat unclear and leaves too much blank space, but this feature is his habitual technique.

In his last life, he only participated in the shooting of two films. One was an internship with his teacher during school, and the other was a graduation work. The latter was independently produced and shot by him. Affected by the age, it was popular at that time. The script and shooting techniques are relatively obscure, and that era was still in the videotape era, and piracy was rampant. The movies that can be released rely more on the support of relevant departments. Usually, factories and schools collectively organize to watch, and there is no box office. Now, in this environment, Ye Weilin did not consider too many commercial elements for the film, even though he knew that the film would be shown in theaters and presented to more people.

In addition, his original direction of directing was playwriting, not production, and his requirements for the expression of the script were greater than the overall performance of the movie, so his movies always left too much blank space.

After Ye Weilin read the short comments one by one, he opened the long comment area.

There were only four long reviews, and he quickly read the first three.

Among these three long reviews, there is no pure praise, nor one-sided criticism, but in general, it is still biased towards the good side. The last long review is very attentive, not only expressing feelings, but also explaining and analyzing a large paragraph Content.

Ye Weilin couldn't help cheering up and watching.

The opening remarks of this film review are the same as most film reviews, first expressing surprise at the quality of the film, then confessing the actor's good looks, and then getting to the point.

"As soon as the movie opens, it is on a very desolate road. In addition to the car accident scene explained later in the movie, there is another metaphor, that is, that road is connected to the sky. Obviously this is a road of no return. Since it is no return Road, it is impossible for the protagonist to go to the village, so what happened to the protagonist later in the village is not true.

Of course, this is only my personal opinion. After all, there is a possibility of a car accident on the way back, but I think it is unlikely. After all, the director gave a hint, and in the scene of the car accident, the direction of the car is still the direction to go.

As for what happened in the village, it’s not just the pure horror of the protagonist’s imaginings. For example, the statue under the banyan tree seems to be offering sacrifices. The banyan tree has the meaning of longevity, but its branches are hung with white cloth in the later shots. It is obviously a scene of worshiping the dead.

Candles, idols, offerings, white cloth...

Several important items in this scene may be the most impressive scene of the protagonist in reality.

And when he walked back, those falling hairs, the oncoming black shadows, shaved off the horror atmosphere and weird elements deliberately fabricated by the director, the loss of hair represents the loss of vitality, and those shadows are dead people.The way they walked, the protagonist cannot stay.

The scene in the toilet is probably disgusting to everyone, but I personally think that this is also a scene where the protagonist is quite irritated in reality.

The maggots are reminiscent of corpses, and the protagonist really vomits because of the smell of the toilet, or the dead bodies of relatives?

When the protagonist sees such a messy toilet, would he rather endure physical discomfort and go in?Doesn't this go against his pampered city boy personality?Obviously, the last second was still emphasizing that he was holding back his urine and didn't want to defecate anywhere.

The only explanation is that the protagonist feels in reality, facing the dead body of his parents, even though it stimulates his body, he still wants to touch it.

Afterwards, the protagonist returned to his home in the village. He saw two black and white photo frames in his room. His expression at that moment was very strange. Before I finished watching the movie, I didn’t pay attention to this scene. After all, the protagonist passed by After this series of weird events, facing the posthumous photos hanging on the wall, I must have been nervous, but after watching the movie, and looking back at this scene, I feel that the male protagonist's eyes are not right, he must have remembered something.
