Chapter 106: The opening of this film, this soundtrack—so full of beauty!
Of course.
Today's event is so grand.
Naturally, we couldn't miss inviting those professionals.
Film critics, well-known big Vs and the like.
And there's a huge crowd of media.
Among them,
There are bound to be those hoping to see it fail.
Such a huge cast.
Plus the premiere, so many big-name stars have come!
If Let the Bullets Fly flops!
That would be real big news!
They'd essentially have exclusive material.
On the other side.
Lin Mo's parents back home.
They're also at the cinema right now.
After all, it's their son's new film—how could they not watch?
And this New Year, his son will bring his girlfriend back.
Just thinking about it makes the two elders happy!
Besides Lin Mo's parents,
His relatives and such are naturally there too.
Lin Mo's family is still fairly united.
Song Wanwan, this girl, is even more excited beyond words.
At school, all her classmates know Lin Mo is her brother.
No way around it.
Kids this age just love to show off.
She's even become the big sister at school.
It's just relying on Lin Mo's fame—she says she can get her brother to bring any stars you like to make movies.
Anyway, she's good at bragging.
"Wanwan, did your brother really get Zhou Runfa for this film?"
Before the movie even started, Lin Mo's mother couldn't wait to ask.
"Well, Auntie, not only Zhou Runfa, but also Ge You, Liu Jialing..." Song Wanwan counted off the stars' names on her fingers.
Speaking of which,
His dad and mom both know he's become a director and has made a few hit films.
But exactly what standing he has in the entertainment circle, they really don't know.
Now they do!
Because all they know is Fa Ge...
The premiere scene of Let the Bullets Fly.
Lin Mo was chatting with the Wang Family Brothers and Yang Laoban of Emperor.
They were mainly talking about film cooperation.
On the other side, Jiang Wen, Ge You, Feng Xiaogang and Fa Ge were chatting.
The guests Lin Mo invited each have their own circle.
Like Deng Chao, Yang Mi, baby, Xiao Ming Ge and Chen He are together.
Then Huang Lei, Huang Bo, Sun Honglei, Zhang Yixing and Xu Zheng.
Lin Mo also welcomed them all properly.
Now his network, his circle of friends is quite broad.
Originally,
Lin Mo had invited Teacher Wang and his wife, but they've already gone back to their hometown and can't come.
But over the phone, Teacher Wang said he'll definitely show support when the film releases!
As time passed second by second.
On the big screen.
After the ad time.
The premiere of Let the Bullets Fly officially began!
The venue also quieted down.
The opening,
that is, the familiar dragon logo.
Next came the introduction of the film's production companies.
Morning Light Film & Media Co., Ltd!
Emperor Film (International) Co., Ltd!
Huayi Brothers Media Co., Ltd!
Yanjing Buyi Lehu Film Culture Development Co., Ltd!
Seeing this.
These industry insiders on the scene, as well as film critics and Big V.
They only then knew.
Whoa.
The company producing this film is formidable!
At the same time, they also realize that Morning Light Media is not to be taken lightly now.
North and South Huaguo, in the Beiyang period!
Four large characters appear!
"Beyond the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, fragrant grass stretches to the sky…"
A distant, resonant female voice rang out.
In the sky above, a soaring eagle beat its wings, flying freely, painting a grand vista.
The camera abruptly switches; yellow sand blocks the sun, the boundless wasteland stretches, and within the bleakness, the rail stretches like a black dragon, pointing far away.
The frame's focus settles beside the rail, a person leans forward, listening.
In an instant, the train's rumble draws nearer, trembling every inch of air.
He turns, the camera captures precisely; his gaze seems to pierce the screen, intersecting each viewer's eyes.
This is Liu Zi, portrayed by Zhu Yilong.
He isn't well known now, and few people know him.
The scene shifts like a sudden gale, a herd of swift horses gallops past, iron hooves striking the rails create a deep, powerful rhythm.
Next, a miraculous scene comes into view.
Two train cars are drawn by horses, steam swirling, as if traversing a dream, threading between towering peaks; this wondrous sight is awe‑inspiring.
A classic scene appears!
Horse‑drawn train!
This part.
Everyone had seen it in the previous trailer.
Back then, many people didn't think it through.
But now, seeing this segment again.
"Is there any saying about horse‑drawn trains?"
"No, there isn't!"
"You haven't studied history, don't know who invented the horse‑drawn train?"
"It was Empress Cixi, that old witch Cixi who invented the horse‑drawn train!"
"Ah, so that's it!"
"Hahaha, pulling the train with a horse, that's kind of interesting!"
"......"
Whispers among movie fans rise.
In fact.
Just by seeing this segment.
Many people didn't think much about it.
They only assumed that the horse‑drawn train scene added a touch of humor and satire to the film.
Inside the carriage, warmth pervades.
Ge You, Liu Jialing, and Feng Xiaogang sit around the fire; beside the steaming hotpot they laugh and chat, singing melodiously: "From the ends of the sky to the corners of the earth, old friends have half scattered…"
The song forms a stark contrast with the bleakness outside the window.
I don't know why.
A horse‑drawn train, and then eating hotpot inside the carriage...
It feels odd.
How to say...
It's that sense of disjunction, indeed, that disjunction!
Yet beneath the harmony lurks danger; someone atop the mountain has already targeted them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunfire erupted, shattering the carriage's quiet; the three panicked, clutching their heads to dodge.
The camera shifts.
The person atop the mountain is Jiang Wen!
He wears a gray hat, with grass stalks gently swaying atop it.
Is this a symbol of turning to banditry?
Everyone couldn't help but think.
"Missed?"
"Let the bullet fly a bit!"
Jiang Wen's mouth twitches into a playful smile.
The next second.
Accompanied by the gunfire ringing continuously!
Stirring background music rises.
Jiang Wen smiled, tossed his spear and switched hats.
"Second and third, follow me!"
"Everyone else, bring the white horse back!"
The action was like a swift wind and sudden rain, the horse‑hooves clattered, charging straight after the train.
On the mountain trail, the sound of hooves resonated with heartbeats, the background music grew more stirring, like a battle hymn, inspiring every soul that pressed forward.
The white horse, like a silver arrow, darted between streams and stone ravines; each splash of its hooves raised rippling waves, perfectly matching the music's rhythm.
Their target was the train roaring in the distance; inside the cars, gunshots also erupted.
Jiang Wen, wearing nine tubes on his head, moved with a lithe figure, leading the charge.
Jiang Wen spurred his horse forward; with a twist of his wrist, two sharp axes were precisely lodged between the rails, then he urged his horse closer, using his long spear as a lever, gently pressing so the axes sank deep.
The train roared on, unaware as it approached, until the arrogant iron wheels struck the axes; in an instant, a massive force lifted the train into the air, like a colossal beast raised by an invisible hand, tracing a breathtaking arc across the sky.
Inside the carriage, Ge You, Feng Xiaogang, and Liu Jialing all lost their balance from the sudden upheaval, tumbling wildly.
Jiang Wen tightened the reins, his steed halted steadily, and he turned his head toward the soaring train.
Finally, the scene froze at the moment the train crashed into the water, spray flying everywhere, reaching a climax together with the soaring music, then gradually calming, leaving only lingering echoes that lingered in the mind.
"Whoa, this music feels amazing!"
"This must be the soundtrack made by Jiushirang, right?"
"The opening is so aesthetically beautiful!"
"Juebi is a great film!"
"Lin Mo, this B filmmaking, really has a knack!!!"
"This music is so moving!"
"Awesome!"
At this moment.
The movie fans also got excited.
It was only the first few minutes.
And it immediately captured them!
No hype, no slander.
Just this movie opening.
The quality can't possibly be lacking!
And over here.
The premiere venue.
Everyone was also dazzled by the opening of Let the Bullets Fly.
"Director Lin, awesome!"
Wang Zhonglei directly gave Lin Mo a thumbs‑up.
He may be a businessman.
But he also understands movies.
Just this opening, just this soundtrack!
This film has to be a hit!
The nearby Yinghuang boss Yang Laoban couldn't help but say, "Director Lin, your cinematography, so aesthetic, impressive!"
The same.
The film critics also began to discuss.
The opening of Let the Bullets Fly is truly stunning!
This moment.
Everyone, they are all anticipating the upcoming plot development!
