my gilded age

Chapter 171: Madman explodes, Zhuhai practices swordsmanship

When he was preparing to work on "Hello, Madman", Bai Shiqiu was lucky enough to work with Lei Zhilong and Rao Xiaozhi, which allowed him to know a lot of details.

He had seen the original movie, but it was impossible to remember some details clearly. After constant discussions with these two people, he was able to memorize a lot of things, so that he could make some modifications.

Although the original movie "Hello, Madman" has a good reputation, it failed at the box office in the end. There is definitely a problem in this. Otherwise, if the drama was adapted into a movie at that time, the reputation of the drama was still overwhelming. Why not be as good as "Lu Deshui" and "Lu Deshui"? What about Charlotte?

The devil is hidden in the details.

Lei Zhilong and Rao Xiaozhi thought of doing something special, for example, using some shots to make a "preview" first, and wanted to tell the audience that the encounter between An Xi and others in that abandoned hospital was not that simple , for example, some shots of An Xi in the water are incompatible with the gathering of various personalities.

Bai Shiqiu abandoned these, because doing it this way may be literary and artistic, and may be high-end, but it is not scary enough or commercial enough.

Moreover, there are also problems in many places. For example, Bai Shiqiu remembers very clearly that in the original movie, there was a small ending after the CAST rolled. It was An Xi and the attending doctor. Between the two of them, the attending doctor said, 'It's just the two of us now. '

Obviously, the attending doctor is also one of An Xi's personalities.

But the problem is that this process is too hidden, the CAST scrolling time is very long, and there was a small BUG left before.

The original movie learned from "Fatal ID", at least in terms of eliminating other personalities, it is very similar, but the method used in "ID" is very bloody, while "Hello, Madman" is... The doctor gave Anxi a gun.

This misses the mark. Which psychiatrist would give a patient a pistol to play with?

Although, later on several other personalities figured out their identities and then shot themselves.

But as long as the audience thinks about it for a moment, they can see the problem here. This is equivalent to telling the audience that this doctor also has a personality.

In other words, I originally wanted to hide such a mystery, but in fact, I told the audience in advance. Isn’t this arrangement stupid?
Bai Shiqiu didn't do this. He threw away everything he could and got rid of everything he could. Fortunately, Lei Zhilong and Rao Xiaozhi are quite obedient now.

The original seven people have become eight people, please come out.

So, there is the current "Hello, Madman", which creates a suffocating atmosphere of terror from the beginning, and also uses a variety of methods. As for that game, there is also a method borrowed from "GANTZ" Ordinary, or rather vulgar music, to make people's hair stand on end.

Killing games, whether it's Werewolf or Close Your Eyes When It's Dark, were modified by Bai Shiqiu and applied to this movie. Moreover, it is so perfect that people who know this type of game can see it, and those who don't understand can't. It's easy to understand because the rules are very simple.

In this way, a mental illness treatment process is perfectly integrated with a killing game.

In addition, there are some detailed designs that are extremely exquisite.

The corpse on the electric chair that appears at the beginning, why is that?
Anyone who knows about mental illness knows that this disease is hereditary. Therefore, this corpse can be completely understood to mean that this is An Xi's mother, An Xi's imaginary mother. As a child, An Xi probably heard that his mother was electrocuted. Treatment, she had such an imagination, which was reasonable.

Moreover, this corpse allowed the atmosphere of terror to naturally invade the bone marrow.The eight people at the beginning acted as if nothing had happened, but there was such a corpse next to them. This was not only a conflict in the plot, but also a conflict in the camera. The audience unconsciously felt a conflict in their hearts, which was both terrifying and reasonable.

Every shady scene is like a drama, but it is unreasonable. How did everyone get tied to the electric chair?

Later I learned that these guys were all personalities, so it made sense again.

And this shady scene, and it coincides with the killing game, please close your eyes when it is dark, is simply perfect.

Until the end, there is still an interesting button left. When the cat appears, the audience will try their best to figure out how to unlock this button.

After all, is this cat real or in your head?

In the end, has An Xi’s mental illness recovered or not?
With these details, coupled with the actors' wonderful performances, it's strange that this movie doesn't look good.

Perhaps in the process of eliminating other personalities, Anxi acted very insidiously, very scary, and very cold, but this is what really triggers thinking.

There are so many meanings, so many things that can be interpreted and are very fascinating. Naturally, it has triggered a craze.

""Hello, Madman" raises the question: How should we treat our innocence?"

"Crazy, are we all crazy?"

"It's a crazy time, so we're all 'normal'."

"Hello, madman; hello, everyone."

As long as everyone has watched this movie, almost everyone wants to write something, and word-of-mouth will naturally accumulate continuously. Moreover, due to the advantages of the Internet age, the explosion rate is more than twice as fast as before.

However, there is no perfect thing in this world, and it is impossible for everyone to like it. Our movie is not a hundred-dollar ticket, but some people will criticize it.

"'Hello, Madman' is too dark and too scary!"

"The way this movie explores human nature is indeed novel and unique, but it goes too far to portray human growth in such a sinister and indifferent way."

"Are normal people only bad? Are there no good?"

"This movie is scolding people, saying that normal people are crazy people, but crazy people are actually good people..."

This is indeed very unpleasant to say.

In this way, the Internet is extremely tight now, which naturally leads to controversy.

There is more than one place, on the end of the world, on some portals, on Penguin.

In particular, some websites saw business opportunities and simply opened a special topic for everyone to debate... It soon developed into scolding each other.

In fact, this matter is very good for Bai Shiqiu and Hongxing.

How can this box office be any worse?
"The new film "Hello, Madman" has exceeded 300 million box office in one week after it was released in our city!"

"New actor Qianqian became popular with "Hello, Madman", and her acting skills have been affirmed by many experts."

"Red Star Production Company has received great attention. Let us summarize how many excellent works this new force in the film and television industry has produced in recent years."

"The creator of "Hello, Madman" announced that the drama version is already in rehearsal and will be available to the audience soon. The audience can experience the 'treatment process of a madman' first-hand."

The box office continued to explode, and within a week, good news came from major cities, with the total exceeding 1500 million.

Then it expanded to other cities, and the box office continued to grow.By the beginning of March, it had exceeded 3000 million, and many people were already looking at 5000 million.

You know, piracy is rampant these days. For a film like this, which is mainly starred by some small stars, it is already a phenomenal performance to have such a box office.

Bai Shiqiu only played a lawyer like Ma Xiaobai this time, but many people can see it. It seems that he has been featured in many popular movies recently.

"Isn't this Liu Zhi from before?"

"The most handsome Ouyang Ke!"

"That's right, and Song Qingshu."

"You guys don't know at all, but he is actually really good at dramas."

"Don't you understand? This is the big boss of Red Star Production Co., Ltd., and Qianqian is the heroine, but in fact...the two of them, hehe..."

"Is it true? I heard that Bai Shiqiu is not with Mr. Zhou?"

"I'm with Yuanyuan."

"Holy shit! They're all beautiful women!"

Many people like to gossip, and the Internet is a good breeding ground for gossip. The topic about Bai Shiqiu is quite hot now. Most male netizens are envious of him, and female netizens think that Bai Shiqiu is indeed handsome. of.

So what is Bai Shiqiu doing?

Pine, bamboo and plum blossoms are known as the three friends of Suihan. It is already March and the other two are not sure where they are, but there is a sea of ​​bamboo in southern Sichuan, and Mr. Zhu can be found here.

The Bamboo Sea, it really is a Bamboo Sea, with endless edges as far as the eye can see. It is dotted with strange peaks, waterfalls, and small rivers interspersed here. When you are in it, you not only feel close to nature, but also have an ancient meaning.

I think back then, there might have been knights flying through the bamboo forest, and their postures were so chic.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Wind and Cloud" were all filmed here, and "House of Flying Daggers", Zhang Yimou's legendary blockbuster, has just left.

Now, some more people have arrived, and one of them is very special.

"Hey~ha!"

Huchi~drink~
He is a tall man of over 1.8 meters and has a handsome face, but at this moment he is covered in sweat and his clothes are soaked. The most interesting thing is that he has a long sword in his hand.

An eight-edged long sword with a width of three fingers and a length of three feet, with a simple shape.

At first glance, it looks like a real thing. This kind of real thing is not some soft and light piece of iron. It weighs at least seven or eight pounds. It is no problem to dance, but if you really want to use your arms and fingers, you don't have a certain skill. It's pure nonsense.

The one who practices swords like this is Bai Shiqiu, the head of the Red Star Production Company.

Not long after the premiere of "Hello, Madman", Bai Shiqiu ran into this sea of ​​bamboos, without asking anything, just practicing sword, as if possessed by a demon.

This thing is really not easy. After practicing for these days, I have such a strong body, but I am always being carried away by the long sword.

The real thing is very heavy. The most important thing is that the center of gravity is not on the hilt, but on the outside. To move it freely, it requires extremely high control strength.

And he is practicing swordplay like this alone?

"Remember the sword formula!"

"It's Master!"

"Dian Zhi Kunwu dazzles the sun, hiding himself every time it rises and falls.

Shaking his head, the wind and thunder sounded, and he rolled his hands up and down in succession.

From the left, there is a blue dragon with two claws probing, and from the right, there is a single phoenix facing the sun.

Sprinkle flowers to cover the top and front, and use this method during the six steps.

The butterflies fly to shoot at the sun, and the pear flowers dance with their sleeves to hide themselves.

The phoenix flutters its wings, its wings are small, its knees are swept away and its shoulders are split apart on both sides.

The sky is filled with progress and snow is flying, and I turn around and ride back to feel homesick. "

"Master, is there anything more direct and easy to understand?"

"Yes, listen.

The human arm is born with three joints, and the hand holds a long blade with four joints.

If you practice using two-handed swords, you must first pass a big test in your hands.

Use both hands to distinguish the main and the auxiliary, and make the transition flexibly and naturally..."

"Master, is there anything simpler?"

"Yes, go over there and stand for an hour, holding a sword in both hands."

"Oh, okay, this is easy."

The man Bai Shiqiu called master was an old man. Although he was thin, he was energetic, with very bright eyes, and a long beard, all white without a trace of color.

Not the Sword Master Yu Chenghui or who else?
Needless to say, Bai Shiqiu even invited the sword master to come out for the filming of "The Swordsman".
