The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

 

At nine o'clock that evening, the official blog of "Famous General", which had not been updated for a long time, suddenly updated a video——

@《Famous General》: The trailer is here~

At 9:01, at the same time, Ye Zexi and He Jinyun, and other actors reposted this Weibo one after another.

@Ye Zexi: This young master also came to listen to the play?

@He Jinyun: May I call you A Zi?

Netizens and fans didn't understand it at first, and they were still a little unclear. So, why did they suddenly start promoting CP online?

But when the netizens start the trailer, they understand instantly.

What CP promotion?

This is clearly a new movie promotion!

You started to promote the new movie so early. Does that mean the movie will be released this year?

The trailer was only a minute and a half long. When clicking on the video, the first thing that enters the audience's ears is a beautiful singing--"On the battlefield, no one will return."

Along with it, there was a deafening sound of fighting, and a majestic picture scroll also unfolded in the center of the screen.

The comment section soon began to be discussed:

"Sure enough, it's a war | combat theme."

"This voice! It's Shan Zeyu's voice! Awsl[1]!"

"Film Emperor He really didn't lie, he said that Shan Zeyu would be invited to sing the theme song!"

"Wow, the war scene looks very magnificent, I am starting to look forward to it!"

But the surprise at the beginning was not over yet, and immediately afterwards, a lively street appeared out of nowhere, and a clear face appeared in the center of the screen——

---"This young master is also here to listen to the play?"

"It's Ye Zexi aaaaah!"

"Fuck, Ye Zexi's costume really killed me! This wife is too handsome!"

"This green clothes and black hair is such an amazing match!!"

"It's different from the clothes in the previous Bulgari commercials. The previous one was gorgeous, this time it was handsome!"

In the video, the surprise in the eyes of the young general Shan Chenzhou flashed past.

As his eyebrows flickered, the feelings arose spontaneously.

The discussion on the live chat was even more exciting:

"It's here, it's here!"

"That was a doting look just now!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!hhhhhhhhh!

"The two of them are really too sweet, whether it's in the movie or in real life!"

"A passerby fan wants to start shipping!"

"Agree, but I'm a little curious, is this really a war movie? How come it looks so beautiful?"

However, as soon as this question was asked, the entire tone of the video changed——

With the wailing of a crow, the music became extremely sad.

Ningcheng was broken, and Da Jin was ruined.

The city was broken, bones were withered, and the vast ground was full of lifeless corpses.

Between the broken walls, blood stained the sky, only A Zi cried out desperately: "A Yan——"

The stern voice, harsh and sorrowful, made many people feel goosebumps.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Why do I feel that I won't like the direction this is going!"

"Damn, was that Ye Zexi's voice just now? I got goosebumps all over my body!"

"A Yan, isn't that Tang Jing's character?"

"Ah, I feel sorry for my Tang Tang!"

"I suddenly have a not so good hunch, the movie's ending is a tragedy or what ah?"

No one could answer, the video continued.

Time is passing, and the war has never stopped.

Unknown time has passed, as the final battle concludes in victory, peace has finally been restored to the people.

Looking at the capital again, it is peaceful and prosperous.

The streets and alleys are full of laughter.

And that general Shan Chenzhou, who got famous at a young age, became the great general being admired by the people.

The soft afterglow showered down, dragging Shan Chenzhou's long shadow.

He stood on the wall, bowed his head and looked at this prosperous world.

Suddenly, the voice rang again, and this voice seemed to disturb the general.

"The cloud temple flower Yan Jin step shakes, the lotus tent warms the spring night..."

The singing stopped, Shan Chenzhou slowly turned his head, on his vicissitude face, there were only two lines of tears.

The video ended here abruptly.

When the audience and fans watched up to here, they were instantly dumbfounded.

"That's it?"

"That's all?"

"No way, where's A Zi?"

"After watching the trailer, the screens of "Famous General" are magnificent, and the actors' acting skills are on point. Every frame is very beautiful. I look forward to the movie!"

"Trailer comes out so early, so it means it will be released this year for sure! Does it have a released date yet?"

"I can't wait to buy a ticket!"

"Wow, this story I can ah! Feel different than other movies with the theme of same sex, looks pretty good, looking forward to the release date."

"Wait...shouldn't you guys discuss the plot? Could it be that I was the only one who panicked when I saw the tears on Shan Chenzhou in the last scene? This ending will not be a tragedy, right?"

"Upstairs +1, I also feel like it's a tragedy, let alone other things, don't you find out that in the second half of the video, they have been describing the cruelty of the war, but not once mention A Zi, and this character has not appeared again. And there is a picture of a broken theater in the middle of the trailer. It can be seen that A Zi must have died with A Yan in the war when Ningcheng was under attack."

"Damn it, upstairs, your analysis is too detailed, after reading your analysis, I'm scared to watch it......"

"How did A Zi die? To me, A Zi might not be dead. Although Ningcheng was under attack, the following scenes also showed Ningcheng soldiers desperately resisting, and there was a scene of Shan Chenzhou returning. So it is very possible that A Zi escaped in the chaos!"

 

"Wait, we are watching the same video? I do not see that much, how did you see so much?"

"Same here, I would like to know how you can see so much in just one and a half minutes! I only see that the movie is very well-made and the pictures are very magnificent."

"That's because you didn't watch it carefully, upstairs. Although this trailer is only one and a half minutes long, each frame has an easter egg. In the beginning, there is a scene of a pair of parents sending their child off to the military. As long as you pause and watch it carefully, you can see that the parents are Shan Chenzhou's parents, and that child naturally corresponds to the teenager Shan Chenzhou. There are many such scenes, just look carefully."

"????? So I was looking at the wrong scenes?"

There are certainly not a few netizens who have such feelings.

So soon, following the #"Famous General" trailer#, this tag #"Famous General" Easter Eggs# soon got into the hot search.

Click on the hot search, which was full of various analyses of the notice by netizens.

Not only that, even each individual character in the movie had a thorough analysis from the netizens.

Some netizens boldly predicted that the direction of this movie will eventually be a tragedy.

In contrast, the "Famous General" makes excellent special effects also part of the hot search, but it did not have the amount of discussion like the plot.

In this regard, He Jinyun was also a little surprised.

Chen Zhengtian also made a special call to him: "It seems that it is done well this time!"

He Jinyun smiled faintly: "It's still uncertain until the movie is released."

But this was indeed a good sign.

The most important point of a good movie is the plot of the movie. The second is the production of special effects and pictures, but these are also the least commendable aspects of an excellent movie.

Chen Zhengtian wanted to say that it was impossible for him to see that He Jinyun still didn't believe it, but after another thought, he still didn't want to set the flag. After all, this was He Jinyun's first movie, and there was nothing wrong with being cautious.

After a pause, Chen Zhengtian asked, "Have you decided on the release date?"

He Jinyun said, "I'm thinking, July 1st."

Chen Zhengtian nodded: "That's good, you can just mention it if you need help at that time."

He Jinyun naturally wouldn't be formal with Chen Zhengtian, and directly agreed.

The two chatted a few more words, and finally Chen Zhengtian couldn't help but inquired: "By the way, you were shooting a variety show with Ye Zexi some time ago?"

He Jinyun couldn't help being amused when he heard this.

Why hasn't Director Chen given up on Ye Zexi?

"Yeah, I just returned to the capital today." He Jinyun said that is, before today, they all recorded the show together.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengtian immediately got impatient.

"Why Ye Zexi would be willing to participate in a variety show, why didn't he agree when I invited him to be in a movie?!" Chen Zhengtian raised his voice, "I'm about to start filming this movie, and the leading actors are still not decided! I'm so angry, if I can't find a suitable actor next month, I won't shoot!"

He Jinyun felt a headache from his raised voice, and showed a somewhat helpless smile.

Thinking of Ye Zexi, He Jinyun's eyes flashed gently: "He is still a child. When filming "Famous General", he must be exhausted. Let him rest for a while."

"He always stayed in his RV every day and slept. When it got hot, he would be in air-conditioning. When it got cold, he would covered in his personal heater. He finished work earlier than the extras. Do you dare to tell me he was tired from filming?" Chen Zhengtian almost laughed.

"You even dare to speak for him!" Chen Zhengtian complained.

He Jinyun touched his forehead: "When did I help him speak?"

"Just now!" Chen Zhengtian, "Forget it, I don't bother to reason with you, if I really can't find a suitable actor, I won't shoot this broken movie!"

After speaking, he didn't have a chance to speak again, the stubborn little old man directly hung up the phone.

He Jinyun held his phone and suddenly was not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Does Chen Zhengtian really want Ye Zexi to shoot his movie?

Thinking of this, He Jinyun was silent for a second.

Reminiscent of the previous casting of A Zi, He Jinyun was even more silent.

Wasn't he the same as Chen Zhengtian at that time, once he had decided on a person for a role, he would never want to change.

Facts have proved that Ye Zexi is indeed the most suitable person for the role of A Zi.

Discussions about "Famous General" on the Internet became widely spread. He Jinyun couldn't help but picked up the phone beside him and sent a message to Ye Zexi——

"Are you home yet?"

Ye Zexi responded quickly: "Yeah, I'm home, Teacher He, are you at home?"

He Jinyun put down the phone and glanced at the half-length movie on the laptop.

Thinking for two seconds, he typed: "The initial edit of "Famous General" has been done. Do you have time? I will be home in about an hour."

Ye Zexi: "The initial edition is done so soon?"

"Of course I have time."

The corner of He Jinyun's mouth was bent, and he was about to reply when he suddenly saw "The other party is typing..." on the chat bar.

He Jinyun paused, ready to wait to see what Ye Zexi would say again.

But he waited for a full minute, and none of Ye Zexi's messages came.

He Jinyun frowned, clicked on the input bar, and was about to reply. Ye Zexi's message finally came over——

"Teacher He, have you eaten yet?"

He Jinyun was taken aback for a moment, then he bent his lips without holding back.

When did you learn to beat around the bush?
