"Talking and Laughing in Jianghu" became popular.
It became popular in a way that no one expected.
It turned out to be a series of chain reactions triggered by the guests passing by the theater and hearing the loud chorus inside.
The shrewd theater owner made the decision on the spot to increase the number of screening halls to accommodate the steady flow of passers-by who came to watch the show.
The number of broadcast halls that night reached 20, and the number of audiences received was close to 2,000!
The originally extremely low ticket price is also one of the powerful reasons to attract the continuous influx of these passers-by:
"It's only 30 yuan. That's all you need to have a better dinner for one person outside. Go check it out and watch the excitement. If it doesn't look good, it won't hurt to come out right away!"
It is this kind of mentality that makes the boss smile from ear to ear.
The director, crew and actors of the film were also very happy. Standing in the ticket hall and watching the crowds coming and going, they felt like they were in a dream!
Even Jiang Kan had an illusion and felt that the crowd watching the movie was a bit unreal.
"Teacher Jiang, it's really thanks to your theme song this time! It's amazing, amazing!"
Director Liu Xinping held Jiang Kan's arm tightly and shook it constantly.
A face that is not old, but has deep-set eyes and white temples, is full of joy!
He hasn't seen such a grand occasion in how many years, especially in a martial arts film he shot!
Although he also understands that his film is already the highest level martial arts film in recent years, friends from all walks of life have also given him recognition.
But it is possible to create such a hit scene, and the audience continues to flock in and grab tickets to watch the spectacle, but it is thanks to the middle-aged man in front of him who looks humble but is actually very talented.
"Hello teachers, we are reporters from the Yangcheng Entertainment News. Would you like to interview you two?"
The two of them were still feeling emotional, and when Jiang Kan was about to say a few words of humility, a microphone suddenly came to them.
This was a female reporter in her thirties who was dressed very professionally. Behind her was a middle-aged bearded man carrying a camera. The camera had already focused on the two of them and started filming.
"Oh? The reporter is here so soon?"
Jiang Kan was slightly startled, but he immediately reacted. After all, "Xia Guo Good Singer" made him famous. During this time, he often received unexpected interviews, and he was already calm.
Director Liu Xinping, who has been in the industry for decades, still didn't react. After all, he hadn't made a blockbuster movie in a long time, so he was stopped by reporters at the premiere for an interview.
"Haha, yes, as long as the question is not too outrageous, we can try to answer it."
Jiang Kan smiled faintly and said to the reporter.
"That's great, Teacher Jiang. First of all, congratulations on winning this year's "Xia Guo Good Singer" championship!"
The reporter flattered Jiang Kan without leaving any trace, livening up the atmosphere and making the interview go more smoothly.
"Thanks."
"What are your considerations and under what circumstances did you accept the job of composing and singing the theme song of a martial arts film that has gradually declined?"
The reporter's microphone was close to Jiang Kan's mouth, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"That's it...ahem..."
Jiang Kan organized his thoughts and said slowly.
"First of all, I am also a martial arts enthusiast myself. You can tell from my age that when we were children, we loved martial arts at that time. Everyone would compete to play the role of the righteous knight in the story, shouting to kill the rich and give to the poor. Demon Guard Way..."
Having said this, he looked at Director Liu with some embarrassment, and a knowing smile appeared on the other person's face. I think it was the same when he was young.
"Although martial arts films have been on a decline for 20 to 30 years, I feel that this art form and film category will not completely die out after all. When the audience is tired of these useless things in the world,
After the sense of beauty and power, the so-called "Xianxia drama" that can only be pretentious and posing, and the poor acting skills of the little flowers, I think there will still be many viewers who will return to the original martial arts movies that focus on punches and moves. Gorgeous, richly plotted movie genre. "
"After all, the young audiences who are currently pursuing a good face will slowly grow up and grow up when the time comes. When they realize that they only like a superficial external beauty, they ignore the plot, acting skills, and inner character creation. After waiting for the main connotation of the film and television drama to be how ignorant it is, they may really change their attitude and look back to see if their choice is correct..." Z.br>
"And this time may be the day when excellent and unpretentious martial arts movies and TV dramas like "The Legend of Laughter" will truly revive... Of course, the premise is that they are indeed well-made and do not fool the audience."
He said a lot in one breath, and Jiang Kan also felt something in his heart.
These words are not all praise from his own position for the film in which he wrote the songs.
But that's what he really thought about. When he was a child, he pursued the truth, goodness and beauty of martial arts movies, and yearned for the kind of fist-punching, unrestrained and elegant chivalrous battles. That can't be faked.
In that era, every boy would have a hero dream when he was a child.
It’s just that now that the social economy is gradually developed and people’s living standards have risen rapidly, aesthetic concepts have not kept up in time. Impetuous thoughts have made people more inclined to appreciate some fast-paced, superficial, and sensory pleasures that do not require careful savoring. beautiful".
This gives those with low traffic the space to survive and become famous quickly.
Of course, these are all clichés, and Jiang Kan did not say anything too shocking for fear of having a bad impact on himself and the crew.
"Oh? What Teacher Jiang means is that the current film and television industry is too impetuous and does not focus on acting skills but looks. Small fresh meat and flowers are the dominant force. Therefore, good films like "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes" directed by Teacher Liu are gradually not taken seriously... do you mean this?"
As expected of a professional reporter from a large media, he captured the semantic focus of Jiang Kan in one sentence and refined it more deeply.
It's just that these words are not as euphemistic as Jiang Kan's original words...
"Haha, there is no such strong semantics, but the general idea is similar to this. I personally prefer in-depth film and television works, so I am also willing to contribute my own insignificant strength to such works - from now on It seems that even if this film is not a huge success, it is off to a good start, right?"
Jiang Kan finished his words with a smile, and then politely left, allowing the reporter to continue interviewing Director Liu Xinping.
Such a grand premiere and interview should be a time when such a persistent and outstanding director and crew members are illuminated by the spotlight. This is the honor they deserve. As someone who is often interviewed, I will not steal the limelight from them at this time. .
The wind in late spring and early summer felt particularly comfortable on his face. Jiang Kan didn't even call for a taxi after leaving the cinema, planning to walk home directly.
There are young people on the street in twos and threes, and the small shops on the street are also crowded. Along with the swaying coconut trees on the street, a warm, salty smell of the sea hits your face, and the southern evening breeze makes people so intoxicated.
There was a big real estate advertisement printed on the billboard at the bus stop that I was passing by. The fashionable girl who was standing next to it was looking at the handsome guy passing by. She was playing with the long hair beside her ears with one hand and looking at the handsome guy with her head moving. Jiang Kan walked past her.
The young man squatting on the ground waiting for the bus did not care about the girl waiting for the bus in crisp clothes. He was operating his mobile phone with both hands, sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing, as if he wanted to wait until the bus he was waiting for arrived. Finish this round first.
The shops on the street have rectangular, round, and irregular-shaped light boxes, which either flicker or stay on in the dark night, lazily attracting customers. Occasionally, a strong aroma of food wafts past. For a moment, the hearts of passersby were shocked, and then they continued to pass by tiredly.
In this way, Jiang Kan slowly wandered the streets alone, sometimes turning his head to stare at the street
The neon lights, sometimes stretching out and yawning, feeling the nostalgic but strange feeling of a foreign land again.
Anyway, I will just take a shower and sleep when I go home tonight, and I have almost finished my work. I no longer have to rush around for a living 24 hours a day or 18 hours a day like when I first came here.
Suddenly, a young man with a backpack and a fashionable hairstyle stopped in front of him.
He held a brand new CD in his hand, and the picture on it was exactly the hero and heroine of "The Legend of Sword and Chivalry"!
"Jiang...Jiang...Uncle Kan? Are you Uncle Kan?"
The young man's eyes lit up and he walked quickly to Jiang Kan and looked him up and down several times!
"Ah...it's me, do you know me?"
Jiang Kan didn't expect that someone would recognize him just by taking a walk in Yangcheng at night and enjoying the night breeze. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy.
"Of course I know you, Uncle Kan, my God, I actually met a real person today!"
The young man was so excited that he didn’t know where to put his hands!
"I, I just bought this game because of your song. I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I met you on the street just a few minutes after leaving the store!"
The young man quickly put the game CD in his hand in front of Jiang Kan. With the help of the bright street light, he could see that it was a game CD of "Legend of Sword and Chivalry" that had not yet removed the outer packaging film!
"Haha, that means we are destined. Thank you for your support. I also like this game."
As expected, he was his fan. Jiang Kan laughed happily and lost no time in making a small advertisement for this game.
"Your songs are so beautiful. "Someone Like Me" and "Mortal Song" both inspired me deeply! Yes, yes, can...can you sign your autograph for me? I just have it. There’s a pen in it!”
When the young man saw that Jiang Kan not only didn't have the airs of a big star, but was also so kind, he couldn't help but smile happily and asked awkwardly.
"Of course, I'm glad that my song can help you...Okay, what's your name? Seeing as you're so young, you should still be a student, right?"
Jiang Kan took the fountain pen that he took out of his backpack and the notebook that he flipped to a blank page, took off the pen cap and held it in his hand and asked.
"Zhang Zize, my name is Zhang Zize! I am a student of Jinan University and I am a sophomore this year!"
The young man said excitedly, he never thought that one day his idol would know his name, it was like in a dream!
"To my lovely fan, Zhang Zize, I wish you success in your studies and all the best!"
Jiang Kan rarely signs autographs for fans, and he didn't know what to write at the moment, but seeing his student-like look, he had an idea and wrote this.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Kan! Thank you for your blessing. I will definitely treasure this signature!"
Zhang Zize was holding his notebook in both hands, bubbling with joy!
"Hey, Zi Ze, what are you doing? Who is that person? Are you in trouble?"
Just when he was about to say a few words to his idol, suddenly there were shouts from several young people behind him!
When Jiang Kan looked up, he saw several young people about the same age as him walking over. There were men and women. They should be their classmates.
The only thing they have in common is that they all hold a brand new CD in their hands.
"No, no, no, I don't have it. What kind of eyes do you have? This is Uncle Kan, Uncle Kan!"
Zhang Zize quickly turned around and introduced to his classmates in a panic.
"Uncle Kan? Who is Kan...Jiang Kan? Uncle Kan?"
"What the hell, Uncle Kan?"
"It's true, Uncle Kan, we just bought the game "Legend of Sword and Chivalry" for your "Die Lian", but we didn't expect to meet you just a few minutes after leaving the store!"
"No way, I'm not dreaming, it's really you!"
The street lights were well lit, and several young people instantly recognized their idols.
That familiar face immediately dropped his guard and ran over quickly.
"Ha, they are all your classmates?"
Jiang Kan was very wary at first, but then he saw that they were not gangsters gathered on the roadside but Zhang Zize's classmates, so he relaxed and watched them "surround" him in leisurely time.
"Yes, they are all my classmates at Jinan University. Come and get to know each other, this is Uncle Kan!"
Classmate Xiao Zhang happily put his hands on his hips and felt that he was so awesome!
"Uncle Kan, I like your "Like You" the most. This song is so beautiful!"
"Uncle Kan, how did you suddenly change from a game developer to a singer? Is this the legendary genius?"
"Uncle Kan, I particularly like your "Blue and White Porcelain". It has the ancient charm of our Xia Kingdom. Can you please sign it for me?"
For a moment, everyone was talking to each other, making the atmosphere lively, and even other passers-by looked over curiously.
"Ha, of course, do you have a pen?"
Signing for one person is signing, and signing for several people is also signing. Jiang Kan will naturally not refuse these college fans who love him. He asked everyone's name very seriously, and then left his own in their notebooks. Signatures and wishes.
"Uncle Kan, can I take a photo with you? It's so rare to meet you once!"
Zhang Zize made this request to Jiang Kan on behalf of everyone, and everyone looked at him eagerly, like a group of puppies and kittens waiting to be pampered.
"Hahaha, no problem, it's just a group photo, come and come!"
Jiang Kan was originally in a good mood today because of the movie theater. He happened to meet such a cute fan while relaxing on the street, so he didn't resist their request for a photo.
A girl laughed with her and asked a passing uncle to take her mobile phone and ask him to take a photo of herself and others with Jiang Kan. The uncle seemed to recognize Jiang Kan and happily took a photo of them. Take a photo.
Then the uncle himself came over and happily took a photo with Jiang Kan after consulting him.
"Uncle Kan, we will always support you! Come on!"
A group of classmates said goodbye to Jiang Kan happily, and then left happily.
Jiang Kan stood there, looking thoughtfully at their young and energetic backs.
"It's great to be young..."
After a long time, he shook his head helplessly, sighed, and continued to walk forward.
