MTL - My Animation Era-Chapter 622 Reverse Amway "Lotus Lantern" (subscription required)

   This game of deciding "who is the puppy" finally kicked off at midnight.

   Gu Miao, who had made an appointment with Huang Kun in advance, came to the movie theater furtively under the hazy night.

   "What are you doing?"

  Huang Kun was very puzzled. Seeing Mr. Gu kept looking behind him with an expression of indescribable panic, he asked curiously, "Did you run into a ghost on the way here?"

   "You just hit a ghost!"

   "I'm worried that my wife will find out, if she finds out, then I'm doomed!" Gu Miao said fearfully.

   "As for what?"

  Huang Kun said angrily: "Look at your cowardly appearance, you can see that you have no status at home. It's not like me, you say what you say at home!"

  You are noble, you are amazing!

   I really think that everyone has forgotten so quickly, who had never fought with his wife last time, and was wronged and ran to the company to shake people to help?

"You do not understand!"

  Gu Miao rolled her eyes and explained: "I was forced to pay the public rations, so I found an excuse to take a shower, and sneaked out from home."

   "Look, the slippers haven't been changed yet!"

  Huang Kun: "..."

  Looking down at the plush Pikachu slippers on Mr. Gu's feet, Huang Kun's mouth twitched, and he immediately understood.

   No wonder he behaved so suspiciously. It turned out to be a poor middle-aged man who secretly escaped from the bathroom because he refused to pay the public rations.

   "Let's go, watch a movie!"

  Just now, Gu Miao, who was still worried about his wife chasing her all the way, forgot about it as soon as she walked into the movie theater.

  The two walked into the theater with great interest.

   Surprisingly, although it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, there were not many viewers who came to watch the movie. According to Gu Miao's preliminary estimation, the attendance rate must be more than 90%.

  It's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night!

  By this point, the kids must be asleep. In other words, most of the audience who came to the premiere were adults.

  Young people make up the majority.

   Judging from the fact that so many young men and women don’t hesitate to stay up late to watch movies, it can be seen that Meihua Animation’s early publicity work is quite in place.

   After all, this is an animated movie, and it has attracted so many young men and women to watch the movie. The announcement of this part is already a big success.

   The rest is to watch the feature film.

  Not long after Gu Miao and Huang Kun sat down, the movie began to be shown.

  The plot of the movie "Lotus Lantern" is actually not complicated.

  Jade Emperor's younger sister, Yao Ji, married Yang Tianyou, a mortal scholar in private, and gave birth to three children, Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan. The Jade Emperor was furious and sent someone to destroy the family's happy life.

  Then there is the story of the protagonist Yang Jian fighting all kinds of gods in heaven, especially his uncle, cousin and other relatives, in order to save his mother.

   This plot is actually very similar to a TV series that Gu Miao watched a long time ago. But in the details, the two works are very different.

  The most important point is the shaping of the protagonist Yang Jian.

  In this version of the "Lotus Lantern" animated film produced by Plum Blossom Animation, Yang Jian is a tragic character. The screenwriter's full of malice towards him can be said to overflow the screen.

  I want to protect everything, but in the end I can't protect anything...

  People around him died one by one.

  Elder brothers, parents, lovers, companions, everyone who had anything to do with him, except for one Yang Chan who was spared, the rest died completely.

  The tone of the movie is dark and sad.

  The painting style is also that kind of depressing and dark painting style, which makes people breathless. In particular, the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor in the movie give people the illusion of "demon transformation".

   "Too depressing."

  Even though he had prepared in advance, Gu Miao, who guessed the essence of the movie, was still taken aback by the Plum Blossom animation.

   Is this stuff for kids?

   You are kidding me!

  The plot, the painting style, and the dull and depressing soundtrack made him a little bit overwhelmed. What do you make those children think?

certainly!

   It's not all depressive and dark, and the plot also has a more enthusiastic and refreshing part. For example, Yang's mother was sunburned in ten days, and Yang Jian went to the Jade Emperor for revenge after burying his mother.

   Have to say, the fights are awesome.

   Gu Miao hasn't watched such a smooth and neat anime fighting performance for a long time. For this performance alone, it is estimated that Plum Blossom Animation burned more than half of its expenses.

  If you only read this paragraph, the children probably liked it, and he liked it too.

  But the problem is...

  Comprehensive plot before and after, then I don't like it so much.

  Yang Jian's saving his mother is tantamount to killing his mother. His grief-stricken expression and eyes hurt many viewers. Some sentimental young girls even let out small sobbing cries.

   It's quite speechless.

  Ghost knows what the screenwriter thinks, do you think sadistic dramas are easier to impress the audience?

  This statement itself is correct.

   At the beginning of the same story, the tragic ending will always impress the audience more than the happy ending.

   But...

  An old saying goes: Everything is too late!

  No matter what kind of emotional support, the most taboo thing is to use too much force. It's really good to come here once in a while, but it can't be like this all the time, can it?

  Crying will make you tired!

  In Gu Miao's opinion, the biggest problem with the movie "Lotus Lantern" is that the screenwriter used too much force, and it was a bit too embarrassing to play provocatively and tearfully from the beginning to the end.

  What is the ending?

  Yang Jian was alone, with a dog by his side, squatting in front of his mother's grave, with his back to the sunset...

   "I can only say, outrageous!"

  Huang Kun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a little emotion: "I remember that in the fairy tales, the Three Virgins don't seem to have such a personality?"

   "Stop talking about myths."

   "Have you not understood yet? Although the characters in the movie are all characters from myths and legends, the story has been completely rewritten by the screenwriter."

  Gu Miao also rubbed her eyes and said, "Modern people polish and revise myths and legends according to their own ideas. This is how it should be described."

  You say this is a myth, except for the characters, the story is completely out of line.

   You are not a myth, are you...

   Yang Jian, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and Nezha, which one is not a well-known mythological figure? Their life stories, seven-year-old children can tell.

  The person is still the same person, but the plot is completely different, and these fairy characters are also the appearance of the screenwriter after reconstruction.

  Take Yang Chan as an example.

   What kind of Yang Chan in the mythology, Gu Miao is not very clear, but he is sure, it will definitely not be the distorted character of "annoying people and dogs" in the movie.

   "Okay, let's go."

  The movie had just ended, and Gu Miao, who was worried about being recognized by passers-by, hurriedly told Huang Kun to leave the movie theater.

  But the two of them had just walked a few steps when they heard the first batch of audience members leaving the theater calling and complaining about the movie to relatives and friends outside the theater.

  【Mist Grass! Don't ask me to watch it a second time, who can resist it? It’s up to you to see it for yourself, I dare not watch it anyway. 】

【right! I just came out... how does it feel? Is it worth watching? Anyway, I regret it, I was depressed at night. 】

【Hey? Dear! I just watched a movie and it made me so sad! Can you come and stay with me? what! You advanced to the Chacha Gogo...Hey baby! Darling? 】

   Good guy!

  Just overheard a few words from the side, Gu Miao and Huang Kun couldn't help looking at each other.

   What kind of reaction is this?

  No one said that the movie was ugly, and the general reviews were not bad. At least no one shouted: Geneva refunds!

   But the answer to my friends will always be: "Forgive me! If you want to watch it yourself, I won't watch it a second time if you kill me."

   Amway? Reverse Amway!

  Not only do you not want to watch it a second time, you even strongly advise your friends, relatives, and lovers not to watch it.

   Asking is just too depressing.

   Gu Miao and Huang Kun have seen this kind of weird scene many times outside the theater.

  Even some later viewers, when they asked the first batch of viewers how the movie "Lotus Lantern" performed, most of them got the suggestion of "it's good, but don't watch it".

   What a must!

   "Unexpected, unexpected."

  Huang Kun couldn't help complaining: "Including myself, I seem to think so too."

   "If someone asks me, is the movie "Lotus Lantern" good or not? Then I will tell him that the movie is really good, but I don't recommend you to watch it."

"me too!"

  Gu Miao nodded, feeling that what Huang Kun said made sense. The movie is a good movie, but he really wouldn't recommend it to friends and relatives.

  The reason, of course it is...

   "Hey! Wait a minute! If I remember correctly, you were crying just now, right?"

   "You cried too!"

  Huang Kun bit the bullet and said: "You still told me that you got sand in your eyes, who are you trying to lie to? Where did the movie theater get the sand?"

  Gu Miao: "..."

   Originally wanted to fool around, but Huang Kun didn't like this at all. In his words, if everyone is crying, it means the bet is invalid.

"no!"

   "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. How can you take back what you say?"

  Gu Miao firmly disagreed with the cancellation of the betting contract, and had to drag Huang Kun down the sewer, "Take out the phone, you send it first, and I will send it later!"

   "Okay, shame together!"

  Huang Kun took out his mobile phone, gritted his teeth and said, "Send it as soon as you want, you are not afraid of death, what am I afraid of? Do you really think I can't afford to lose?"

   "I sent it, it's up to you..."

  Looking at the deserted streets, Huang Kun, who had just logged into Weibo with his mobile phone and posted "I am a dog", suddenly entered a shutdown state.

who am I?

where am I?

   Didn't they agree to fulfill the bet together and embarrass themselves together? Why did Mr. Gu disappear after he fulfilled his promise?
