On the evening of December 21, it was several hours before the midnight show of nine doors was released nationwide.
Yanjing.
Jiumen snack street.
Lao Zou's fried chicken stand.
"Old Zou, what time do you close the stall?"
"You know what, old Zou has made a start. It's hard for us to work for a year just to collect the franchise fee for a week."
"What I said is that I have seen several old zoujia fried chicken franchise stores. It seems that advertising is really good."
"The old Zou family's advertisement is too popular. Recently, a TV play is very popular, and my eldest granddaughter is fascinated. There is the old Zou family's fried chicken. She pesters me to eat the old Zou family's fried chicken every day and steals beer."
……
All kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred surround the Zou Datong family.
Zou Datong said with a smile, "I don't understand what franchise chain is. It's all done at dawn. I'll do my fried chicken well. The craft uploaded by Zu can't be destroyed in my hands. The stall will be closed in advance tonight, mainly because my old lady and I plan to go to a movie later."
At this time, the customer who wrapped up the remaining fried chicken suddenly asked, "aren't you going to see nine doors?"
"It's nine doors. My husband is still playing himself in it." Zou's wife is very proud and greets the familiar stall owners around, "I'll invite you to a movie in a few days."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"Speaking of it, we haven't seen a movie for a long time."
"Zou's sister-in-law, morning and noon are OK, not afternoon and evening."
The customer said again, "boss, you're still in nine doors? Aren't you the former nine door anti pickpocketing player?"
Zou Datong humbly waved his hand: "it's all in the past. Now I'm the one who buys fried chicken nuggets."
The customer didn't say any more. He threw down a hundred dollars and didn't give change. He turned and left.
……
Jinling.
After a busy day, Cui Yushan, who had just finished a manuscript, came home very late.
"Come back, have you eaten? The family has left you food. Mom will heat it up for you."
"No, mom, I ate in the company. Dad, this is the ticket for the zero show of nine doors tonight. Do you really want to see the zero show?"
"Let him see, or there will always be a problem in his heart."
"That's OK. Dad, I'll go with you in the evening. It's just that I have to write a press release of nine doors tomorrow."
……
Fruit shop at the door of the community.
Deng Lixun helped his daughter-in-law move the fruit at the door back to the store and stack it.
"Do you think you're stupid? Mai is always kind to help us. Why do you refuse?"
"You know shit!"
"Yes, I don't understand, you understand. You go to the movies, don't want a penny, and you have to go to the movies tonight. The children's cram school will pay the money immediately. I don't care. You find a way!"
Deng Lixun: "
"Is Deng Lixun there?"
"Who wants me... It's you?"
"Hello, brother Deng, I didn't expect you to remember me." the selling fish held Deng Lixun's hand, and Miao ruoyi also stood outside the fruit store and looked around.
"You are a villain. How can I not remember you."
Miao ruoyi turned around and walked into the store: "brother Deng, sister-in-law, your store is in a good position."
Deng's wife didn't know why, so she looked at selling small fish and Miao ruoyi.
Deng Lixun asked, "wheat asked you to come?"
Sell small fish and wave your hand; "No, we're here on a business trip for a few days. We're going to see a movie tonight. I remember you were there, so I came to see a movie with you."
Miao ruoyi took Deng's wife by the hand: "sister-in-law, the location of your shop is good. Have you ever thought about changing business?"
"We don't know anything else except selling fruit."
"Fried chicken always."
"Fried chicken? It seems that it has been sold very hot recently."
"Yes, because of the popularity of stars, fried chicken and beer become a perfect match, and the business is particularly good. We're here mainly to help franchisees choose the site. Your store is located in a small area, so you can separate a special place for Lao Zou's fried chicken."
"Will the franchise fee be very expensive?"
"Ha ha, sister-in-law, you and brother Deng are willing to pay, but brother Zou may not want it. You don't know yet. Brother Zou and brother Deng are both former nine team members and have a very good relationship."
"That's a good feeling..." she noticed that Deng Lixun was staring at herself, and she pouted back. "Look what I'm doing! Do it first, and it's not enough to make up for a lot of franchise fees when I earn money!"
Miao ruoyi said with a smile, "what my sister-in-law said is reasonable. I think you have closed the stall. Let's go to the movies together?"
"Sister, I won't go. I'm not afraid of your jokes. Our family is not very good. Lao Deng bought a ticket and was scolded by me for a long time."
Big Lara, who sells small fish, said, "Hey, what's the matter with me? We bought four tickets and just went to see it together."
……
Deep city.
This is a cafe with a nostalgic theme.
There are many genuine CDs and books on the floor stand, and many interesting gadgets are scattered in every corner. The old black-and-white TV and chicken feather duster, the "bully game machine" played in childhood, the oldest hair dryer in the washroom, the patterns on the old radio are very fashionable, and the cassette player with tape
The retro and nostalgic atmosphere is as strong as strong coffee. There are many people in the coffee shop, mostly middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s.
Zhang Zhen is one of them. Sitting in the cafe, the single point mocha in front of him doesn't move a bit and quietly listens to the old boy lingering in the store.
"Mom, what happened to my father?"
"Your father sounded something and felt something. Let's not disturb him."
"Does he think of his days with the boss? Mom, let's go to Yanjing for the new year this year. My father has many friends in Yanjing. He can get together with them."
"Why didn't you say you wanted to see Mai Xiaoyu?"
"I want to see the boss. Who makes me wheat flour? Mom, aren't you wheat flour too, don't you want to?"
"I just want to know the finale of stars in advance. Don't be like the tragedy said on the Internet."
"Shall we call him?"
"Forget it, the movie still has more than half an hour to start. Let's go to the movie. First say, don't stay in bed tomorrow and don't be late for school."
……
Almost all the first tier cities in China have opened the midnight show of "nine doors". Although it is early Thursday morning, many people have bought movie tickets early and intend to see it first.
Some people want to remember the memory of the past; Some people are moved by the song "old boy"; Some people are to publicize the signing process of Mengren's stars mentioned in the publicity; Some people are aiming at "alien professor" Mai Xiaoyu; Others are for themselves... For example, some members of the urban folk anti pickpocketing alliance.
After eleven o'clock, Mai Xiaoyu was ready to leave.
Making your own movies and going to the cinema are two completely different experiences. Even if he saw the sample film in the company's small screening room, he felt different from watching the film in the cinema, and he also wanted to observe the audience's reaction.
"Brother, do you want to go?"
Stand in front of Mai Xiaoyu comfortably dressed.
Mai Xiaoyu walked over and gently pulled her hat to cover the little ear exposed outside; He picked up his scarf and covered most of his face.
"Let's go and see how the film starring you and me responds."
Sissy and Liu Tao are also in Yanjing at the moment. They also know that Mai Xiaoyu will go back to the cinema tonight, but they have not proposed to go to the cinema with Mai Xiaoyu and leave the opportunity to Shuchang.
Tonight is a special night for Shuchang.
Mai Xiaoyu drove to Hailian international cinema with Shuchang.
Near zero, when the cinema began to check tickets, there was a long line, mostly girls, some accompanied by boys, some not; There are also men who come alone, but mainly middle-aged men.
At the ticket gate, when it was Mai Xiaoyu's turn to be happy, the ticket inspector was stunned when he saw Mai Xiaoyu.
Mai Xiaoyu said softly with a smile, "why, you recognized me when I covered up so tightly?"
"Teach, teach..."
"Shh, I just want to watch a movie quietly, please."
Professor, please!
The ticket inspector was a little excited and reacted quickly. It was so fast that the audience behind Mai Xiaoyu and Shuchang did not doubt it. After checking the ticket, he put Mai Xiaoyu and Shuchang in immediately.
This is a small hall with less than 100 people. Because it is midnight, many people have to go to work and school tomorrow. Not many people come to see the film in the middle of the night. Just because of the small hall, the attendance rate can be about 70%.
Mai Xiaoyu and comfortable seats are in the middle, which is an ideal viewing position. Next to Mai Xiaoyu, a couple were flirting and didn't notice him.
At 0:00 on the 22nd, "nine doors" was officially broadcast.
After long Biao, is it the title animation or the old title used by Mengren film and television for ten years.
The three children laughed and released three red, yellow and blue fireworks.
Fireworks exploded in the sky, and the full moon was blown into a crescent moon, with a figure sitting on it.
The man gave an exaggerated "whew", threw his fishing rod and caught the words "cute film and television".
Then, the powerful word "nine doors" appeared on the screen, and the film began.
This is the only script independently created by Mai Xiaoyu. The first half refers to the routine of the dream film the gift of room 7.
At the beginning, the plane landed at the Capital International Airport, comfortably holding her mother's ashes, sadly stepped off the plane and walked out of the airport.
At the same time, the subtitles of the producer, producer, director, screenwriter and photography appear on the screen in turn.
Comfortable holding his mother's ashes, he drove to the forgetting bar and met Wu Weiguo.
The conversation with Wu Weiguo revealed the past of the former Jiumen anti pickpocketing alliance through interspersed memories. Subsequently, the disbanded Jiumen anti pickpocketing team members came from all over the country to attend Song Ma's funeral.
At the funeral, most of the former anti pickpocketing team members had entered middle age. They comforted their tears and lamented what they had experienced.
With the help of the funeral and the comfortable conversation between the anti pickpocketing team members, the film continues to fully show the audience that in the late 1990s, many folk anti pickpocketing alliance organizations were active in Yanjing City, and Jiumen is one of the largest anti pickpocketing alliances.
In his spare time, he spontaneously organized patrols on the streets to crack down on petty thieves and hooligans; On buses and supermarkets, they acted bravely, hunted down and caught thieves and sent them to the police station; And cooperating with the police to crack down on and arrest criminals; Retaliated by criminals, the team members rushed to the rescue as soon as possible
Of all the pictures, the most prominent are two people.
One is Dong Ping, who is comfortable as a man dressed as a man. One is Mai Xiaoyu's acting suspect, and all kinds of fighting scenes with criminals. Even though he is scarred, he has a brilliant smile on his face when he suspects the suspect to the police.
The picture cuts back to reality. At Song's mother's funeral, Shu Chang finally asked about the cause of his brother Dong Ping's death.
Wu Weiguo and others are afraid of her sadness and don't want to talk more, but the memories in their minds are presented on the screen.
On a clear day, a well-dressed young man stole from Lao Wang's tobacco and wine shop and was found by his boss Lao Wang.
The young man ran away, and Lao Wang kept on chasing him. At the same time, he shouted "catch the thief".
Dong Ping, who returned from shopping in the supermarket, happened to pass by. Seeing this, he left his shopping bag and ran after him.
Dong Ping was young, strong and fast. He soon overtook Lao Wang and drove the dog chased by the well-dressed young man into the poor lane.
However, the painting style changed suddenly.
When Lao Wang called the police and arrived with the police, Dong Ping had fallen into a pool of blood. Next to him stood a young man with a black and blue face and blood on his hands.
The screen switches to a court session.
Facing the prosecutor of the procuratorial organ, Lao Wang, the key witness, denied that the young man who stole at that time was not the young man in court - Wu Shirong, the only son of the chairman of Qingtian group.
Finally, according to the existing witness testimony, the court ruled that Dong Ping chased the wrong person and hit the wrong person, suspected of negligent injury; Wu Shirong stabbed Dong Ping in self-defense and did not bear legal responsibility for Dong Ping's death due to excessive blood loss.
Such a judgment was chilling. In Yanjing, a number of civil anti pickpocketing alliances led by Jiumen were dissolved.
At the end of the memory, the picture is fixed on Dong Ping's tombstone.
Wu Weiguo asked Shuchang what plans he has in the future; Shuchang told him that his mother liked to listen to her singing and that she planned to be a singer to express her sadness through singing.
After the funeral, the people left one after another, but Shuchang refused to leave until dark.
When Wu Weiguo asked her to leave, he said happily and excitedly, "he didn't come!"
The first half of the content is a line, about thirty or forty minutes. The picture, color, dialogue, expression, soundtrack and other aspects are dull and depressed, which makes many viewers feel heavy.
Although I feel sorry for Dong Ping's experience, and a small number of vulnerable viewers have wet eyes, in terms of personal senses, this too heavy plot has a sense of exclusion in the hearts of the audience.
Life is full of pressure. Work, house, car, feelings, children and so on are like mountains pressing on my heart, which makes people out of breath.
Why are variety shows popular?
Why do some films with low reputation sell well at the box office?
Why do people like to watch Star gossip?
It's not that there are 2b in the audience, but that the audience needs a channel to vent their inner pressure.
Entertain, entertain, entertain the public.
In reality, it has been very depressed. If you spend money to see a film that makes your heart heavier, the audience instinctively doesn't like it.
Generally, films with heavy themes will be interspersed with some happy plots to ease and mediate. Just like Mai Xiaoyu's "the gift of room 7", although the process of overturning the case in reality is heavy, every bit of memory does not lose warmth and joy.
"It's a little boring." the boy next to Mai Xiaoyu said the voice of many viewers.
His female companion advised: "wait, the boss should officially appear."
"He didn't come!"
With this sentence, the camera moves up to the starry sky, and one of the stars is shining.
At the same time, a song sounded.
"The brightest star in the night sky,
Can you hear me clearly,
The man looking up,
Loneliness and sigh at the bottom of my heart... "
In the song, the picture switched to the daytime. Liu Tao stood on the roof of the building and said excitedly to the police: "don't come here! Let him come, or I'll jump down immediately..."
