Chapter 13 The movie "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" is released

In fact, there is another reason why Wang Xuan chose this house. The house is well-decorated and has been standing for a long time. The formaldehyde has been emitted below the standard line. He only needs to add some furniture to move in.

In the afternoon, Wang Xuan's family went to a nearby furniture market to buy furniture, mattresses, bedding, TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines that a well-off family should have. Wang Xuan's family bought them all, spending nearly 100,000.

The money came from Wang Xuan's parents. Wang Xuan wanted to pay, but his parents refused to let him go. In the words of the former, Wang Xuan had already paid for the house. If Wang Xuan still paid for the furniture, it would look like they were too helpless.

Used.

Wang Xuan smiled at this and did not argue with his parents.

There is nothing to argue about. Afterwards, he can just transfer the money directly to his parents' card. Can the latter refund the money to him?

After spending an afternoon, Wang Xuan's new home was finally finished and ready for move-in.

The family is very happy.

In the evening, Wang Guojun cooked another sumptuous dinner, which was more sumptuous than lunch. It was basically cooked according to the standards of a banquet. In Zhou Meiling's words, this meal was their family's "housewarming" dinner.

After dinner, Wang Xuan received a call from director Chen Kai: "Wang Xuan, where are you? The premiere of "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" is about to begin. You, the hero, cannot be absent. Come and watch the premiere."

"

At this time, the song "Half City of Smoke and Sand" has reached the seventh place on the new song list, with over one million listens and 800,000 downloads.

Thanks to the popularity of the song, the pre-sale box office of the movie "Half City Smoke and Sand" has exploded. From 8 o'clock in the morning to now, the pre-sale box office has increased by 60 million. This is only the pre-sale box office, plus the previous

, the pre-sale box office alone has exceeded 100 million.

Such achievements were unimaginable in the past.

Therefore, as Wang Xuan, the songwriter and songwriter of "Half City of Smoke and Sand", it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hero.

"I'm sorry, Brother Kai. I'm in my hometown now and can't attend the premiere of "Half a City of Smoke and Sand". However, I am planning to take my family to the cinema to watch "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" after the premiere.

"Wang Xuan said with a smile.

"Well, I guess you won't be able to attend the celebration banquet tonight. Okay, when you come back, I'll treat you to a celebration banquet alone." Director Chen Kai felt a little regretful.

"Then I have to give you, a rich man like you, a good beating. I have decided not to order the right ones, but only the expensive ones." Wang Xuan made a joke.

"Fuck you!" Chen Kai scolded with a smile, and the two chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the premiere of the movie "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" begins

After the premiere, Chen Kai then called Wang Xuan. According to director Chen Kai, the premiere of "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" was very successful, especially when the ending theme song came out, the entire premiere theater was affected.

Already.

The audience present, celebrities, crew members, media reporters, and moviegoers were all affected. They gave the warmest applause with red eyes and refused to leave for a long time.

The most intuitive manifestation is that "Half City of Smoke and Sand" is very popular. It was on the hot search just after its premiere, and it directly reached the fifth hot search, and it was inserted into the middle of the hot searches for "Dongfeng Po".

Comments sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and in less than ten minutes there were over 10,000 comments.

Forget it, the key point is that "Half City of Smoke and Sand" actually received a 9.0 rating on Douban Film Review. This is a network recognized as poisonous!

There is no doubt that "Half City of Smoke and Sand" was a hit.

In this regard, Wang Xuan expressed congratulations to Chen Kai. At the same time, he also looked forward to the movie even more.

In fact, there was another reason why he wanted to win the theme song for the movie. The script of the movie "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" was good, and he had a premonition that the box office would explode. It is impressive to have a divine song in a bad movie, but if a good movie has a divine song, then

The effect is not as simple as one plus one.

At 9:30 in the evening, Wang Xuan and his family came to Starlight Cinema and easily bought the 21:45 show.

As long as the film schedule of "Half City of Smoke and Sand" is very high, there will be a screening almost every half hour.

This kind of film scheduling rate is at least about 30%, which is amazing. You know, there are at least 30 movies selected to be released on May 1st. And "Half City Smoke and Sand" accounts for 30% of the filming rate.

Soon, the movie started.

First up is the opening song "The World", composed by a gold medal composer and sung by second-tier singer Liu Yang.

The lyrics and music are okay, and the singing is good, but Wang Xuan still feels that it lacks a bit of meaning. Mainly because of the title of the song, Wang Xuan can't help but compare it to the classic "Tianxia" on Earth, so it sounds a bit tasteless.

After the opening song, the screen turned and the background of the movie began to be introduced.

It was a world of chaos and chaos. Foreign invasions, defeats on the front lines, one after another, people were devastated, people were in dire straits, refugees were everywhere, they had no food to eat, no clothes to keep warm, and the whole country was in danger.

To avoid the country's demise, the imperial court issued a document forcing strong men to serve in the military. As long as men over 15 years old were called up by the country, they had to go to the front line. Many people chose to avoid military service because they knew that untrained men like them would

As soon as he arrived at the front line, he was just a cannon fodder. However, he was violently killed by the imperial court. For a while, people were panicked and the whole country was filled with complaints.

The scene changed and we came to the countryside. The protagonist Liang Xiao appeared on the stage. Liang Xiao was a civilian, but there were thousands of ravages in his heart. Unfortunately, Liang Xiao also received a notice of military service. There were seven or eight volumes of military books with his name on them.

Liang Xiao did not escape because he understood that deserting military service would mean death, but he did not rush to the front line immediately, but was faced with a difficult choice.

Just because he is not alone. He has a wife, a wife who is eight months pregnant and about to give birth. How can he bear to leave his wife and children and go to the battlefield?

Days passed like this. Seeing that the country's situation was becoming more and more urgent, and his wife's belly was getting bigger and bigger, Liang Xiao became more and more silent day by day, and fell into a dilemma.

At the critical moment, his wife was considerate and said: "Husband, go ahead. If you delay him any longer, he will probably be executed on the spot."

"But what will you do if I go? What will happen to our children?" Liang Xiao said.

"Where do you come from so many scruples? The country is about to be destroyed, how can we tolerate the love between children? Say goodbye to mother-in-law and mother, this is not like my husband. My husband is an upright man. Let me ask you, if you have been by my side all the time, what will you do?

When the barbarian army comes to kill me, can you protect me?"

"."

"It can't be right? But what if I gave you an army? Can you protect me? The answer is obvious. You are my husband, and I know better than anyone how capable you are. You shouldn't be hiding in this remote place.

In a small mountain village, your stage should be on the battlefield, strategizing and winning a battle thousands of miles away."

"But."

"No buts! Husband, only when you have a country can you have a family!"

It was this sentence that shocked Liang Xiao and decided to rush to the battlefield. Only when there is a country, there is a home! Yes, in troubled times, who can be greedy for pleasure? If the country is not peaceful, how can there be peace?

"Husband, I can't bear to leave you, but now is not the time for children to love each other. You can go with peace of mind. I will take good care of our children and wait for you to return safely. I just hope that when you become successful and famous, you will not forget us."

"No. It's not my intention to be a general, prime minister or prince. Who is in charge of the ups and downs has nothing to do with me? How can the picturesque mountains and rivers compare to your smiling face like flowers? I just hope that this chaos in the world of mortals will stop as soon as possible. When I am unarmed and return to the fields, I can talk to you about sangma.

For eternity, I will be free and happy, and I won't envy immortals." Liang Xiao said, giving his wife a deep look, turning around and striding away without looking back. He was afraid that once he looked back, he would never be able to move again.

Behind him, his wife looked at his retreating back with tears in her eyes, opened her mouth, but didn't say a word.

In this way, Liang Xiao has been gone for eight years.

It has to be said that Liang Xiao is really a military genius, with great ambition and strategy. His wife was not wrong about him, and he did not live up to her high expectations. As soon as he went to the battlefield, he seemed to be a different person and became sharper.

Convert movie frames one by one.

Liang Xiao rose from a small soldier to kill enemies on the battlefield. He was very brave and quickly stood out. From a small soldier to a centurion, a captain of thousands, and then to a captain, it only took just one year.

And this was just the beginning of Liang Xiao's glory. After he became the captain and initially took control of the military, what he had learned in his life was really put to use. He led troops to fight, and there were endless schemes and schemes, and every battle was bound to be difficult.

Victory means an invincible attack. A feat of 300 men defeating 5,000 enemy troops has been achieved. If the troops are evenly matched, it will be a crushing force.

In the movie, the scene occasionally switches to Liang Xiao's wife. Liang Xiao's wife gave birth to a son for Liang Xiao. She struggled to make ends meet by herself, but she was also very strong and told the children stories about his father from time to time.

After every battle, Liang Xiao would think of his wife and children, and the memories would come back frequently. It could be said that he suffered from lovesickness, but before every battle, Liang Xiao would put down his lovesickness.

Because only by letting go of lovesickness can he be invincible on the battlefield.

With one big victory after another, Liang Xiao's military rank climbed all the way. In seven years, he rose from the position of captain to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces in just seven years.

With only one last city left, Liang Xiao can bring peace to the world.

But when Liang Xiao's army came to the city, he hesitated. Because once he pacified the world, his power would reach its peak, controlling one-third of the country's army, with countless generals under his command, and capable people would emerge in large numbers, with just one order.

, the whole world is at your fingertips.

Such power is something that the emperor will definitely not tolerate. He understands this truth, and the generals under him also understand it. It seems that the only thing waiting for him is to support the world. His subordinates also support him in fighting for the world.

On the eve of the city's destruction, the generals under his command deliberately gave him wine to make him drunk, and then put a yellow robe on him.

After sobering up, Liang Xiao thought a lot.

In successive years of war, he has won one victory after another and achieved brilliance one after another, but he has also witnessed too many sacrifices, witnessed too many tragedies of white-haired people giving away black-haired people, witnessed the cruelty of war, and understood that the people

Yearning for peace.

In particular, he remembered the conversation he had with his wife before leaving for the expedition.

Tian Ke testified that he was forced to join the army in the first place. If it were not for forced military service, and if he was not afraid that when the barbarians came over, he would be alone and unable to protect his wife and children, he would not have joined the army.

His biggest wish in joining the army was to one day be able to shed his armor and return to his fields and reunite with his wife. As for any words of loyalty he said were false, he had never considered who he wanted to fight for in the world.

Just as he said before leaving, "It is not my intention to become a prince. Who is in charge of the ups and downs has nothing to do with me. How can the picturesque mountains and rivers compare to your smiling face like flowers? I only hope that this chaos in the world will end as soon as possible. When I am unarmed and return to the field, I can talk to you.

Mulberry and hemp last forever, and they are free and carefree and do not envy immortals."

This is what Liang Xiao really thinks.

Unable to bear the rare peace to be stirred up again by his ambition, at the end of the movie, Liang Xiao silently shattered the yellow robe, and after settling the world, he chose to fake his death, gave up the world at his fingertips, retired to the mountains and forests with his wife and children, and lived a life apart from the world.

A life without struggle.

And the whole world also ended the disputes and ushered in peace because of Liang Xiao's retirement.

This is the story told in the movie "Half a City of Smoke and Sand".

At the end of the movie, when the ending song of "Half a City of Smoke and Sand" came out, it was accompanied by scenes, especially Liang Xiao's psychological description when the soldiers came to the city, which was really touching. There were few people in the entire movie theater who were not red-eyed.

Even Wang Guojun was red-eyed and rarely commented, "Not bad."

Wang Xuan smiled.

This movie is indeed good. The theme is clear, the war scenes are grand and realistic, the details are in place, the lines are well-done, and the psychological description of the protagonist is vividly described. It is a rare masterpiece.

After watching it, Wang Xuan knew that the box office of "Half City of Smoke and Sand" will definitely explode. I dare not say it is too much. The 1 billion box office club should be no problem. And the song "Half City of Smoke and Sand" is also about to explode.
