The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 128 The best fried shredded potatoes

Of course, if you don’t have fun, you will refund the ticket or something. Wang Wei just talked about it in front of Lao Wang.

Anyway, he was determined to take a vacation without wavering, and he had no intention of "snatching the Lord".

Lao Wang could only adjust the Spring Festival guide while complaining, but this did not affect the movie's release as scheduled.

So, on January 31, "Charlotte's Troubles" was officially released nationwide.

At 8:15 pm, a cinema in the capital.

Film critic Charlotte entered the venue and sat down.

This is a medium-sized screening room with about 120 seats. While the lights were still on, he subconsciously glanced back and forth a few times and found that the attendance rate was quite low, and at most one-quarter of the seats were full.

This is not surprising at all. He even felt that it was beyond expectations to have a one-quarter attendance rate.

First of all, the name "Charlotte's Troubles" is no longer attractive.

——He definitely didn’t complain about the protagonist’s name. In fact, he thought it was “Charlotte, troubled” at first. As a result, after watching the trailer, he realized it was “Charlotte, troubled” and the protagonist had the same name as him.

But none of these can conceal the excellent nature of the work.

Just look at the beginning, you can guess this routine. After all, movies are the art of routines, and most movies are following several routines to move forward; if a movie doesn’t even have routines, it is a failure.

In fact, the theme of this film is very tacky and the plot is cliché.

If Mr. Xia hadn’t been made an appointment with the newspaper for the first day of the New Year, he would have probably not had time after the New Year, and would have chosen to watch the movie today.

Charlotte originally wanted to count the number of times the audience burst into laughter.

As for Charlotte himself, he hopes that a movie can lead the market - the market has always been so deserted, and no one cares about film critics whether they are critics or hypes.

This is the criterion for judging the quality of a comedy film - the audience laughs, and they often laugh, it is best to laugh from beginning to end. Such comedy films will definitely have a difference in reputation and box office!

However, in the end he gave up on statistics because it was meaningless.

In addition, magical lines are emerging one after another.

Charlotte would not be disgusted or tired of the film itself just because he guessed the general plot trend. What he valued more was whether the movie could still attract his attention under the premise of "guessing the routine".

This movie is well controlled on this, and it has not obviously fallen into vulgarity.

The trailer said, "You are the one who is called Charlotte." If he hadn't maintained a good relationship with Dunhuang, he would have thought he was deliberately targeting him, Xia.

This has obviously been adapted, but I have to say that the adaptation has a very good effect.

You should know that many insiders believe that the impact of this wave of movie ticket price increases may last for several months - after all, after the Spring Festival every year, until the summer heat up in May, it was a cold market period.

In the movie, every time Yuan Hua is hit, the magical "Yi Jian Mei" sounds at the pinch point. Finally, when he sees the image of Yuan Hua, the film critic Charlotte automatically rings in his mind, interrupting his thoughts again and again.

The audience was laughing crazy!

For example, Charlotte's most impressive soundtrack "Yi Jian Plum".

——Before the festival, time is left for word of mouth to ferment. After the word of mouth fermentation begins, it is not until the first day of the Lunar New Year that the curtain of the Spring Festival is truly opened.

"We are talking about each other. You call me dad, I call you brother." "What is horse Dong, what is winter plum, what is horse plum"...

The funny points in this film are so dense that as long as you dare to miss a little bit of a joke, you will definitely miss the next one.

Every laugh is natural but full of jokes, and every sarcasm is lighter but endless aftertaste.

At least half of the credit is in the script and screenwriter Wang Wei!

This once again confirmed Charlotte’s idea - he believed that Wang Wei’s screenwriter skills would even surpass his director skills!

Of course, for comedy, the most important thing is whether the jokes can be naturally integrated with the plot, rather than deliberately creating awkward jokes or pile up cheap jokes.

Then, Charlotte was surprised to find that the film almost caught the attention of the audience from the first shot.

Secondly, today is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone is either busy going home to reunite or preparing New Year’s goods. If you choose to release it on such a date, the attendance rate is good, then there will be a ghost!

Most comedy jokes are caused by absurdity, and even blossom in pain - shit, pee, fart is also absurdity. The key is to grasp the proportion of shit, pee, fart, and not just stay in the lower body.

During the entire movie viewing process, countless laughs that are unpredictable make the audience unable to control themselves "hahahaha"!

Even in some very tragic or sad moments, the audience laughed louder!

Charlotte saw that when Yuan Hua was under the phone booth, looking up at the sky with tears in his eyes, shouting "No", the music started, and the snow flew, "the snowflakes fluttered in the north wind whistled", and the spoof reached the highest point in the audience.

"It seems that both Dunhuang and theaters are very confident in this movie!" Charlotte said to himself.

It was not until the end credits were released that Charlotte resumed his thinking—

Charlotte doesn't think it's all for the actors and directors.

In this kind of mood of expectation, the lights went out and the movie began.

After all, Charlotte is old and has a high laugh, so he is not that crazy, but he is infected by the atmosphere and smiles naturally, and he unknowingly sees the end of the movie.

Well, as an insider, he can guess more or less why Dunhuang chose to be released before the official Spring Festival holiday.

The protagonist Charlotte unexpectedly travels through time and space and returns to the classroom of his student days. He beats the teacher and chases the goddess angrily. His life undergoes earth-shaking changes, but his heart becomes more and more empty... Finally, Huang Liang dreams and wakes up.

While thinking, the lights lit up, and Charlotte immediately took out his portable book and wrote down this point.

For film critics who have read countless movies, the plot is easy to guess—

There is no doubt that the film does a great job at this!

Creators know how to set laughs so that the audience can keep laughing—language, scene, and even visual—and laughs frequently after watching the whole movie.

The two female audiences sitting in front of him were already laughing completely out of control. They were shaking each other's bodies frantically. The popcorn buckets they were holding could not bear this madness. The popcorn spilled out everywhere, but they couldn't stop.

After a pause, he continued to write in a slight smudge—

"It is not difficult to make good dishes with good ingredients. What is rare is to use the most common ingredients to make a delicious taste that makes people praise.

This movie is not a big fish or meat, but it is undoubtedly the best fried shredded potatoes I have eaten this year, which is very suitable for tasting during the Chinese New Year..."
