Chapter 474: More than Two Minutes of "Darkness"

The three new songs at the party made Li Yuanyuan feel refreshed. She sat up straight and prepared to listen to the songs.

Shang Wenya was different from Li Yuanyuan. She paid more attention to the plot of the movie.

After the party, Shang Wenya felt that the male protagonist was a very introverted person and was not very good at dealing with the relationship with friends, so the atmosphere on the scene became so awkward.

The next day, the male protagonist's father told him that the men in their family had a special ability, which was to travel back to the past.

The operation was also very simple. Just find a dark space, such as a closet, and then make fists with both hands and think about the time to go back.

At first, the male protagonist didn't believe it and thought that his father was teasing him, but he tried it later.

What he didn't expect was that it really worked and he went back to the night before.

When he returned to the party again, he chose to dance with the female classmate next to him when the lights were dimmed to avoid embarrassment again.

When he saw this, Shang Wenya raised his eyebrows and thought, is this still a science fiction movie?

Although the name of the movie is "Time Traveler", she had never thought that there would be a sci-fi color in this movie, and the protagonist would have the ability to go back to the past.

There are many movies that have discussed time travel, and each director presents something different, and it is unknown what kind of answer Zhou Yan will give.

Just when Shang Wenya was looking forward to the male protagonist using his ability to do something big, the male protagonist only used his ability to please his sister's friend Qin Yu, and his method was very clumsy.

In the end, the male protagonist did not win Qin Yu's favor.

No matter when he chose to express his feelings to Qin Yu, he was rejected by Qin Yu without exception.

Later, the male protagonist left home and went to Hong Kong, becoming an intern lawyer. He worked from nine to five every day, and nothing big happened.

At this point in the movie, twenty minutes had passed, but the heroine still did not appear, and Shang Wenya was a little anxious.

She wanted to see the male protagonist use his ability, but she didn't see it. She wanted to see the heroine, but she didn't see it after twenty minutes, so of course she was anxious.

Li Yuanyuan, who was sitting next to him, had a completely different mentality. Most of her energy was put on the music, and the rest was also put on the pictures of the movie.

It must be said that Zhou Yan's movie was indeed very beautiful. It was like this from the beginning when the male protagonist lived at home. She even became interested in the filming location because of the previous scene, thinking that it would be nice to go to this filming location when she had time.

The male protagonist came to Hong Kong and became an intern lawyer. His life seemed quite boring, but the background was vague, the music that did not dominate the main role at all, and the textured pictures made Li Yuanyuan feel very comfortable.

The pace of this movie was indeed not fast, but she liked this pace very much.

Of course, Shang Wenya's expectations were soon met.

Twenty minutes into the movie, the male protagonist's childhood friend took him to a special restaurant.

This restaurant had no lights and was pitch black. Under the guidance of the waiter, they shared a table with two girls.

In the dark, the four people chatted together.

At this time, the heroine appeared.

In fact, only the heroine's voice appeared.

For more than two minutes, the big screen was black, with only sporadic light, and nothing could be seen clearly. Only the voices of the characters could be heard.

Seeing this part, many people were stunned. They didn't expect that there would be more than two minutes of "black screen" in a movie.

The key is that although there were more than two minutes of "black screen", they didn't feel bored at all, because the dialogue between the hero and heroine was very interesting.

And because they were in the dark, this atmosphere was very special, a little strange, and a little ambiguous.

Although the movie time only passed more than two minutes, the time shown in the movie passed nearly three hours, which means that they chatted in the dark for nearly three hours.

It was not until the 25th minute of the movie that the heroine finally appeared.

Wang Zuxian in this movie was not as beautiful as in "The Sixth Sense".

The first time she appeared, she wore a very ordinary, even a little rustic dress, her hair was not straight, and she had bangs.

Such makeup directly reduced Wang Zuxian's beauty.

However, when the heroine lifted the curtain and came out, the audience was still amazed by her beauty.

What made the audience feel beautiful was the perfect light in the lens. The light shining from above the heroine's head saved her makeup.

Ordinary audiences only thought it was beautiful, but industry insiders were already sighing that the light in this area was really well done.

From the audience's perspective, they would only notice the light source shining from behind the heroine.

In fact, in order to create such a light and shadow effect, the light arrangement on the scene is very complicated.

This "single light source" is prone to problems during shooting, because the light is too dazzling, causing the portrait to be weakened in the lens.

In order to solve this problem, at least more than 30 light sources were arranged in front of Joey Wong, and even candles were used.

After the static light was solved, the dynamic light had to be solved. The scene setting during shooting and the positioning setting of the protagonist took a lot of thought.

If you think less about any step, you can't achieve such an effect.

In fact, this scene only lasts a few seconds, but Zhou Yan attaches great importance to it because it is the first appearance of the heroine.

The first time is particularly important.

The effect Zhou Yan wants is to make the audience think that the heroine is not a particularly beautiful woman, but she gives people a very comfortable feeling. At least in the perspective of the male protagonist, she must be good-looking.

It is not difficult to shoot a beautiful actor beautifully, but it takes a lot of effort to shoot a beautiful actor to feel both beautiful and ugly.

If the balance tilts slightly to one side, the effect will not be achieved.

Zhou Yan's ultimate goal is to let the audience slowly accept Wang Zuxian's new look and feel the charm conveyed by the character itself, rather than Wang Zuxian's own beauty.

Facts have proved that Zhou Yan's desired effect has basically been achieved.

Many viewers even separated the heroine from Wang Zuxian, after all, the makeup of this character is different from all the previous roles of Wang Zuxian.

At this time, a new background music sounded, soft, ambiguous, and slow, which made people's breathing slow down.

Shang Wenya really likes the scene where the male and female protagonists meet for the first time. The subtle feeling is just right, and the emotions of the two are ready to come out, but it doesn't seem exaggerated.

At this time, a song that Li Yuanyuan likes very much appeared. The male singer has a low voice and the lyrics are affectionate and moving.

"The buttons on your collar

The color of your hair

I think i see you everywhere

..."

This song appears longer than the previous ones, and the melody runs through the first meeting of the two.

Li Yuanyuan had to sigh again that Mr. Zhou was willing to use materials to compose the music for her movie, and many of the materials this time were songs.

Only 25 minutes into the movie, there have been four and a half good new songs. Why is it four and a half? Because there is a song in the front that Li Yuanyuan is not sure whether it is a new song. It sounds a bit like a song on the radio.

In addition to these four and a half songs, there are also many pure music soundtracks. In the 25 minutes, there should be soundtracks for half of them.

There is a lot of music, but it doesn't make people feel full. Many times, the soundtrack appears vaguely. If you don't listen to it deliberately, you won't even notice it, because the music has been integrated into the movie and is not separated.

After the male and female protagonists met, they also left their contact information. I thought the subsequent development would be smooth.

But in order to help his roommate save the failed performance, the male protagonist chose to use his ability and returned to the corresponding time.

It was only after helping his roommate that the male protagonist found that the female protagonist's contact information was gone. He hurried to the restaurant where they met, but he went too late and the female protagonist was gone.

In this way, the male protagonist missed the female protagonist.

When seeing this, Shang Wenya felt a little strange. Since the male protagonist has the ability to travel through the past, why not go back again, remember the female protagonist's phone number, and then travel again to help his roommate? Anyway, seeing now, the male protagonist's ability to travel through time seems to have no limit to the number of times.

The male protagonist didn't know if he was stupid or not, he didn't think of this at all, but stupidly ran to the exhibition to wait, just because he heard the female protagonist talk about the exhibition when he chatted with her that night.

He waited for many days and finally waited for the female protagonist, but unfortunately, the female protagonist already had a boyfriend.

However, the male protagonist found out that the female protagonist and her boyfriend met at a party, so he carefully asked about the time and place, and then traveled through time and intercepted the female protagonist.

...

When Li Yuanyuan heard a song played at the party, she suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Shang Wenya looked at Li Yuanyuan in confusion, and the latter whispered, "Listen to the lyrics."

Hearing Li Yuanyuan say this, Shang Wenya also began to listen to the lyrics seriously, and then couldn't help rolling his eyes.

The song played at the party is quite nice, but the lyrics are not very good. The general meaning of the lyrics is: Although I already have a lover, I still think of you all the time.

Listening to the lyrics, it has a bit of cheating taste. Zhou Yan put the song here, which is really a bit of a spoof.

If you think about it, it's true. After all, the male protagonist is here to steal the girl's girlfriend.

This time, the stealing was very successful. Later, the two of them progressed very quickly. They lived like a couple every day, going to work together and going home together.

It was also at this time that the song "How Long Will I Love You" that the audience had been looking forward to appeared.

Before, everyone had only heard the pure music version. This time, hearing it with vocals in the movie, it felt different all of a sudden, especially with the scene of the male and female protagonists going to work and going home together, it was very sweet.

Later, the male protagonist proposed to the female protagonist, and the female protagonist went back with him to meet his parents, and the marriage was quickly settled.

The marriage scene is definitely the most exciting part of the movie, which can be seen from the audience's reaction.

When the female protagonist appeared in a dress, many people could be heard exclaiming at the scene. This is definitely the most beautiful moment of the female protagonist in the whole film.

The whole wedding was warm and funny. Some audiences even laughed from beginning to end, especially when it rained heavily, the laughter in the concert hall was particularly obvious.

The key is that the opera-like background music forms a strong contrast with the movie screen, which makes people feel very funny.

The movie has been played for more than half of the time, and the whole process makes people feel very relaxed.

The love between the male and female protagonists is not vigorous, but it makes people feel very sweet, and occasionally there will be some small episodes that make people laugh.

However, the movie is still halfway, and it is destined not to be very sweet all the time.

In the next hour, Zhou Yan prepared knives for the audience.

The first knife is the male protagonist's sister. The sister had a car accident on the way to the male protagonist's house and was injured and hospitalized. The reason for her car accident was that her boyfriend cheated.

In order to avoid the sister's car accident, the male protagonist decided to go back to the past and save his sister.

He succeeded, but found a problem, that is, his child was replaced.

His father told him that after having a child, he could not travel back to before the child was born, otherwise the child might become another one, which means that the original child would disappear.

In order to get the original child back, he had to make a new choice and let his sister continue the previous fate and be injured and hospitalized.

This is just a small knife. After all, the sister was not seriously injured except for a little injury, and she found love again after recovering from the injury.

However, after experiencing this incident, the audience found that this movie seemed to be different from what they thought before.

The so-called special ability to travel through the past sometimes becomes a shackle.

When there is suddenly an extra layer of choice in life, people who need to make choices will experience a kind of pain that ordinary people cannot experience.

Of course, here, everyone's feeling is not very obvious, until Zhou Yan handed over another knife-the father of the male protagonist is about to die.

At this point, the tone of the movie suddenly changed, from the original sweetness to slowly becoming heavy, and the audience had more things to think about.

After his father died, the male protagonist often traveled back to the past because of his special ability to see his father who had not died yet.

For the male protagonist, his father did not actually die.

But later, when the male protagonist was about to have his second child, he went to see his father for the last time.

At first, Shang Wenya couldn't understand why the male protagonist was so entangled, but when she put herself in her shoes, she found that things were not that simple.

When a person has more and more ties, he will become more and more hesitant when faced with the idea of ​​going back to the past, because going back to the past means that he may lose everything he has in the present. (End of this chapter)
