A Good Movie-11 Extra Chapters for the Urge-to-Update Circle Invitation Event
"Lin Qi, my friend!" Lin Qi heard Mr. Fox's voice as he walked through the passage. Mr. Fox smiled and walked toward Lin Qi. Their respective female companions let go of each other's hands before they made contact, maintaining a very appropriate distance.
Sometimes social etiquette can be really complicated. You have to know when to do what, and even a slight mistake can invite ridicule.
People won't openly laugh at someone for losing face or dignity; they might even be concerned and remind others of what they did wrong. But deep down, they're still laughing at those mistakes.
This is like the saying that you can't make a sound while drinking soup; people will use this as a standard to measure whether someone is superior or inferior.
If someone makes a mistake, they will smile, but it will always be a smile of tolerance from the superiors towards the inferiors.
The two hugged briefly before parting. Only Mr. Fox would refer to Lin Qi as "Lin Qi's friend," a rather street-sounding term, but he liked to call Lin Qi that. Perhaps he considered Lin Qi an important figure in his life, so he gave him a special title, or perhaps to commemorate him.
He behaves normally when dealing with others.
"You look great!" Lin Qi complimented, turning his gaze away from Mr. Fox's female companion. She was a girl Lin Qi had never seen before, appearing to be in her early twenties, though he wasn't sure of her exact age.
Some girls look very young no matter how old they are, but this girl in front of me gives people a very contradictory feeling.
She looks very mature, but she gives the impression that she is actually very young and not that old.
Secondly, she has a great figure, which can be said to be the standard of most Federal women's body requirements, and she dresses very boldly.
This isn't the same girl from last time; Mr. Fox has changed his companion. Of course, this kind of thing happens quite often in this line of work.
Judging from some subtle interactions between the two, their quality of life should be quite good. Mr. Fox is almost fifty years old, and it is indeed commendable that he can maintain such physical fitness.
"Of course, I'm still very young!" Mr. Fox said as he introduced his female companion to Lin Qi.
This is a girl who has only made one adult film since her debut. For some reason, she manages to get in touch with Mr. Fox.
As for why they chose this kind of girl instead of a more conventional female celebrity, perhaps it was to avoid trouble.
Those mainstream female stars also have normal fans, and once a scandal breaks out, it becomes a public event that could seriously damage the Fox family, such as a breakup scandal.
Mr. Fox knew very well that he could not marry any girl who was younger than his daughter, or even younger than his son; it would be unfair to Little Fox.
At the same time, he couldn't possibly share his money with women who were only with him for personal gain and hoped to get something out of him. So, constantly changing female companions, especially those he could easily get rid of, became his preferred method.
He pulled Lin Qi aside and said, "I've taken care of what you told me about, and I've found the right people. After the premiere, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
Yesterday, Lin Qi called him, hoping he could find a documentary Director and one or two documentary screenwriters to discuss his new filming project, "The Federal People in Nagaril".
Mr. Fox has now released several films, and with the added prestige of Lin Qi's name, he is already a well-known producer in the industry. If he wants to find Director and screenwriters, it's just a matter of making a phone call.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with him, Lin Qi went into the cinema, where Mr. Fox and others had to be received.
As always, Mr. Fox greeted the guests outside, while Little Fox handled the situation inside. It was hard to see any trace of their past lives on the father and son, that rough and rugged air from the bottom of society and the streets.
Dressed impeccably, they stood confidently before social elites, speaking eloquently. It's impossible not to marvel at how good money is, especially clean money.
As the time drew near, the lights in the theater dimmed, a single frame of film appeared on the big screen, and the audience began to quiet down, as the movie was about to begin.
A dozen seconds later, the entire theater went completely dark, and the big screen suddenly lit up, with a line of white text on the dark background—This film is based on true events and a novel.
Just from this line of text, a very special feeling washes over you.
The scene opens with a shaky camera and various indistinct branches lashing against the lens. Someone is running wildly, and the theater's sound system plays the heavy breathing of someone running.
The strong camera movements and wide-angle rotations give people a wonderful sense of immersion.
A leopard suddenly leaped out of the bushes behind him and gave chase. The race between man and beast, the sense of urgency in the face of death, instantly captivated the hearts of all the viewers.
Lin Qi could sense that the girl next to him had become very nervous, and he could no longer hear her breathing.
About ten seconds later, the screen suddenly slammed forward, and everything went dark.
This scene comes from the second act of Lin Qi's Adventures, Jungle Adventure, which is about his accidental loss of his way in the dense rainforest of Nagaril, his discovery of Ruins, and his return to human society.
Although many scholars and experts believe that humans who get lost in the rainforest without aids have no chance of getting out, this has not prevented the book from becoming a bestseller.
For a full ninety-five minutes, the story revolves around the 《Resistance》 against nature and wildlife, interspersed with elements such as Ruins.
Eventually, Lin Qi was forced into an ancient Ruins. After fighting against enemies such as traps and Ruins guardians, he finally escaped from the Ruins's underground waterways and drifted to a somewhat backward town outside the rainforest.
The desperate search and rescue team found him. When his good friend, an archaeologist, celebrated his survival with him, they unexpectedly discovered an antique he had brought with him: a ring that should have been worn by the Shuberia Yin Wang.
And that's where the movie ends.
After a brief period of calm, the audience quickly responded with enthusiastic applause. Regardless of what the film critics thought, the viewers who came to enjoy the movie were excited and even a little reluctant to leave.
Undoubtedly, the ring that Lin Qi unintentionally kept as a souvenir will become the starting point for the next film series, and perhaps there will be a third or fourth film, filming all of Lin Qi's adventures in Nagaril.
It must be said that this is a successful film. James, his writing team, and the Director abandoned the things that were meant to convey an epic and gravitas. They made the plot flow faster and more tightly, the scene transitions were faster, and the sound and light stimulation was greater.
There are no profound philosophical principles; all there is is actors constantly showing off their physiques, faces, and muscles, along with grand scenes.
The gripping 95 minutes was reportedly originally 130 minutes long, including lengthy explanations and background information. However, at James's insistence, it was re-edited and approved by the Fox family.
A successful movie!
Lin Qi clapped his hands. There was no doubt that this film would be a success. While people were still pursuing long takes and stream of consciousness, this film, which already had the tone of a commercial film, was bound to ignite the market.
It may not be profound enough, lacking in substance, empty in content, or made up; it may not win any awards, but as long as it sells well, that is the greatest affirmation for it.
The Fox family, along with the main cast and crew, went on stage to receive congratulations and blessings. After a round of enthusiastic applause, Lin Qi was also invited up on stage, and people hoped that he, as the "person involved," would say something.
Facing a movie theater with thousands of viewers, Lin Qi glanced back at the big screen, now that the movie had ended, and exclaimed, "He's not as handsome as me!"
Laughter erupted in the theater instantly, even the male lead standing to the side couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Lin Qi nodded and added, "That's true!"
The laughter grew even louder, with some people echoing the sentiment. Of course, this was indeed true, given that it was a film "based on true events."
After everyone had finished laughing, Lin Qi's expression became slightly serious. "A great movie. I wasn't involved in the filming process. This is the first time I've seen this movie today, but I have to say, it is definitely a great movie."
"A faster pace, more vivid color clashes, and stronger tension. I noticed that when the whole movie was playing, it seemed like no one went to the bathroom or snored, which shows what makes it so appealing."
"Of course, there's also the most important point..." He paused for a moment, then joked, "I'm sure some people will criticize me, but I still have to say that this time I didn't see any preaching. It got me completely absorbed and allowed me to experience an adventure all over again, though this time it was definitely more exaggerated."
"It's an excellent film because it has an excellent team, an excellent Director, screenwriter, actors, and our Fox family; it has all the elements of success..."
Lin Qi suddenly stopped speaking, turning his head to look at the emcee standing to the side. "Did I steal your job?"
The emcee reacted quickly, "It depends on whether they pay me!"
