Chapter 1122
Chapter 1122 The Movie Ends, All Are Stunned
In the warm glow of the setting sun, a young man stood with a wine flask clasped in his hand, his eyes red-rimmed.
No one in the movie hall had expected that there would be this bonus scene in the end.
Thus, as soon as it appeared, everyone was drawn to this scene. Although it was very short, it gave people a sense of desolation.
The extra scene ended.
Everyone was deeply moved by the image of the young man sitting alone among the grave mounds at sunset, drinking wine amid the melancholy surroundings.
The movie itself was already an overwhelming masterpiece.
In the eyes of the movie critics, no other improvement was required for the whole movie. It was fulfilling and almost perfect. Both the movie critics and the rest of the audience thought that the unexpected footage of this extra scene won extra points for the movie.
Absolutely.
Yang Yizhi, though a teenager in troubled times, was remembered as a righteous martial arts practitioner. Fang Qiu’s vivid performance demonstrated his upholding of justice to the fullest and the bonus scene further enhanced the character’s image.
A good performance was far from enough to make a character dynamic and vivid from all aspects. A person’s behavior is deeply linked to his temperament; for example, people who like fruit usually have healthy skin.
Yang Yizhi, as a youth with a strong sense of righteousness, would do what he was supposed to.
Offering sacrifices to the dead by toasting them showed that Yang Yizhi was a courageous and upright man. He knew what choices he should make and dared to take on the ensuing responsibilities.
He was the real hero!
......
“Pa! Pa! Pa!”
Rapturous applause rang out again.
Everyone stood up and kept clapping with genuine enthusiasm which came from their hearts.
The movie critics in the third row also took out their pens to jot down their thoughts quickly, feeling that the movie was more than a simple story. Several scenes in the movie were worth pondering over.
“It’s flawless.”
“If the extra scene had been included directly into the movie, it would not have achieved such an effect.”
“Yes, the whole movie was well put together and rigorous. It touched the deepest part of my soul. The thread of thoughts and relevant viewpoints are clearly expressed in the movie. I suggest we watch the movie a few more times to comprehend it fully. Maybe each time we see it, our viewpoints will be different.”
“I enjoyed it so much that I’d like to watch it a few more times. Now I’m going to buy the ticket for the midnight screening. I can’t wait to watch it again.”
On the other side, there were also people discussing about the movie animatedly.
“It’s beyond doubt that this movie is far above the general level. In addition to the necessary factors such as the performance and plots, the most amazing thing for me is its special effects. They were perfectly executed! I heard it was a domestic special-effect team. I dare say even those specialists in Hollywood can’t compete with it, right?”
“Yes, especially that big tiger. It looks so real! I even thought I was looking at a real giant tiger.”
“I give the special effects full marks.”
“Although the special effects are superb, the martial-art movements are also top-notch. I’ve never seen such a performance in other martial-art movies. These original actions are eye-catching.”
“Their actions appear magical and it seemed that these people can actually do these fighting movements. In addition to the special effects, the actors performed outstandingly well as if they were fighting for real. Compared with them, the fight scenes in other movies were just mere form written in the scripts beforehand!”
...
Some of the audience were seated in the top two rows of the movie hall.
They were the lucky viewers who were specially chosen to watch the movie here. When the movie ended, they all uttered sighs of admiration unceasingly.
“It’s worthwhile to see a movie starring Fang Qiu, my idol. It’s fantastic.”
“It’s so wonderful. I haven’t seen such a wonderful movie in several years.”
“It’s amazing. No wonder Fang Qiu dared to say they would make two billion at the box office! Anyway, it’s absolutely worth it to watch the movie for the second and third time.”
“Oh, I can’t wait to share it with others. I’ll have to go out and ask the organizer for my phone. Then, I’ll advertise it to all through WeChat Moments and Weibo.”
“It’s a pity we can’t reveal the plots in advance. What we can reveal is that this movie is really awesome!”
“I will definitely bring along all the people I know to watch the movie again and let them know that Fang Qiu deserves to be admired!”
...
“Crack!”
As the movie ended, the lights in the movie hall lit up.
Everyone appeared to be in a daze; it was as if they had just come back from another world. Looking around and sighing with emotion, they could easily see the shock on the faces of others.
It was obvious.
Everyone agreed from the bottom of their hearts that this movie was really amazing.
Aside from these people, the members of the central production team were also very excited.
They were seated in the first row of the movie hall.
All these leading creators turned and shook hands as they congratulated each other with brilliant smiles!
He Gaoming was also very thrilled.
“I didn’t expect the battle scenes in this movie to be so exciting.”
“I had no idea the last battle could be as amazing as this. It’s really awesome! Even those masters in Wulin will be attracted by this fight, let alone ordinary people.”
He Gaoming thought to himself.
As a martial arts practitioner, he had personally experienced many Wulin battles, and he had even nearly been beaten to death. In this case, he was very familiar with the fighting scenes in the martial world of Wulin.
In his eyes, the last battle in the movie was brilliant. It made him feel like he was watching a great martial-arts battle.
The movements of those killers and Fang Qiu, as well as the killing intents from all directions, were as genuine and fabulous as those he experienced in Wulin battles.
It was purely because of this reason that he became so excited and exalted.
The most important thing was...
In this movie, the strength gaps between different levels were really similar to those in Wulin.
This was almost the mirror image of Wulin martial arts!
Even he himself was shocked.
He Gaoming was extremely happy and was looking forward to seeing the reactions of the Wulin people to this movie. These people used to ridicule him, claiming that he was not suitable to be a martial-arts instructor. He’d like to see what kind of reaction they would have after watching this movie!
In addition to the main production staff, it was the first time for all the actors who came to the premiere to see the movie. Whether it was the supporting roles or the protagonists, they were very excited.
They were proud to be a part of this movie!
...
On the other side, Fang Qiu also finished watching it.
“Good.”
After watching the movie, he was also very shocked.
While shooting, he just needed to do whatever the director required him to and didn’t think there was anything special to it. He had read the script but didn’t think too much about the completed scenes at that time. Instead, he was focused on thinking about how to play his role to the maximum, according to the director’s instructions.
Now, he saw the whole movie.
Even though he was an actor in this movie, it still moved him to tears.
He felt as if he was watching someone else’s performance.
The person he saw in the movie did not seem to be him at all. Instead, he was Yang Yizhi, the real hero in Fang Qiu’s heart!
The enthusiastic applause lasted for a long time before it died down.
“The premiere is over.”
The host, his eyes slightly red-rimmed, came to the stage and said, “But our show is not over yet. Next, let’s invite our film’s main creators to come on stage again.”
Hearing this, Director Chen Xiaogang immediately went up to the stage again with Fang Qiu, Li Baoguo and the other main creative staff.
“I have a question for you all.”
The host looked at everyone on the scene and asked, “Is this movie fantastic?”
“Yes!”
As soon as the question came out, all the people present roared their agreement in unison.
“Exactly! It’s of incomparable brilliance!”
The host readily echoed and nodded in agreement. “The creative staff offered us a visual and spirited feast! Let’s thank them again by giving them thunderous applause!”
Under the host’s call, all the people present clapped loudly again.
“Thank you for all the support.”
When the applause was almost over, the host raised his hand and signaled the audience to stop. Then he took the microphone and walked to Director Chen Xiaogang, saying, “Next, let’s welcome Director Chen Xiaogang to make the final speech for us!”
As he spoke, he handed the microphone to Director Chen Xiaogang.
“Thank you, thank you all.”
Chen Xiaogang had been so excited that his mouth was dry. So, after taking the microphone, he swallowed twice to moisten his mouth before he gave his speech. “Thanks for your approval. But what I want to emphasize is that I can’t take all the credit. It’s the painstaking work of all the people in our team.”
With this, Director Chen Xiaogang took a step forward and glanced at each creator in chief. Finally, he fixed his eyes on Fang Qiu and said, “Everyone knows that Fang Qiu is a doctor. He is really busy, so busy that he can’t even find the time to give me a health examination.”
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter.
“I’m not joking. It’s true.”
Director Chen Xiaogang shook his head with a wry smile and continued, “Thank you, Fang Qiu. We want to thank him for sparing one month of his tight schedule for the movie.”
“I initially planned to arrange some love scenes for him, but I thought that Fang Qiu, a teenager excellent both in conduct and learning, might not be good at doing romantic scenes. He might screw up during the acting, so I gave up on this idea.”
Speaking of that, Director Chen Xiaogang added with a smile, “That’s why it became a movie about a great man. Anyway, as the director, I hope that everyone will enjoy this movie.”
“In addition, I want to thank Mr. Li Baoguo.”
He turned to look at Li Baoguo and said: “Everyone knows that Mr. Li Baoguo is a national first-level performer and also the best veteran actor in the plays about Huaxia. I had never expected that he would accept my invitation and perform in the movie. It was exceedingly lucky for me that he agreed. So, I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for his support for our movie.”
“In addition, I’ve got to tell you the truth.”
“I’ve always thought that Mr. Li Baoguo and Fang Qiu are a good match for each other since the filming began. There was always a certain chemistry between them.”
His words instantly caused a tumult of screams.
As he had expected, young people nowadays loved romantic relationships between male characters!
