"Kunlun Pass" premiered on the first day, from the midnight premiere, every time slot was packed, and it's a miracle for young people to buy tickets that are not too far away in the afternoon of the same day, especially when they bought 11 tickets at once.
The movie is at 3:20, at 3:10, the boys arrive at the cinema, take the elevator to the top floor, line up to buy the necessary Coke and popcorn for watching a good movie, then rush into the theater, rows 8 and 9 are very good seats, basically on the same level as the middle section of the big screen, the central seats are almost perfect for watching 3D.
Eleven tickets, five of which are in the eighth row. In the middle is Xiao Jingchen, with Bai Luochen and Shangguan Zhe on either side, and Xiaoliu and Xiaogui on the outside. Behind Xiao Jingchen sit Song Chao and Wei Shou, while the remaining people are divided between them.
Generally speaking, before the start of a blockbuster movie, there will inevitably be a lot of advertisements. "Kunlun Pass" is no exception. It wasn't until 3:30 that the film officially began, at which point the attendance rate in the theater had already exceeded 90%.
The theater darkened, and a staff list in traditional Chinese calligraphy appeared on the screen, including directors, editors, producers, etc., but no actor's name was seen. The prelude ended, and the prosperous imperial city unfolded before everyone's eyes. The 3D visual effect made the audience feel as if they were there in person.
The bustling metropolis, with many beggars on the streets and alleys. The camera zooms in, revealing a dirty and disheveled face that's hard to look at directly. It isn't until the actor's name appears that the audience gasps in shock - this filthy beggar, with pus-filled sores on his face, is actually An Qi, the lovable and charming star!
It's really... overwhelmingly subversive!
Then, an old man with a pure white Taoist robe and hair as white as snow appeared in front of the beggar. With a sentence "I see that your bones are extraordinary, you must be a martial arts prodigy, you will become a great talent in the future. Follow me" he took the little beggar away.
The scene shifts, and the vast mountains are shrouded in a thick, dark mist. Two figures, one white and one black, move through the rugged terrain like ants, their tiny forms silhouetted against the towering peaks. The white figure, though advanced in years, moves with ease and agility, traversing the mountain paths as if on flat ground. In contrast, the black figure, still young and vigorous, stumbles and staggers, its movements awkward and labored, like those of an elderly person struggling to keep up.
The elder shook his head and said, "You go slowly, I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain."
As soon as the words were spoken, the white figure floated away. The beggar thought that this old man was a high-ranking master of the martial arts world and couldn't help but admire him. It wasn't until he climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the cave hidden in the mountains that he realized the white-robed old man was actually a cultivator, commonly known as an "immortal".
The plot unfolds, the big sister who loves and hates clearly, the second brother who is silent and taciturn, the third brother who is gentle and elegant, the fourth brother who is playful and irreverent. The fifth sister who is warm and kind, the sixth sister who is lovely and charming, the master Shu Qing who is both righteous and evil, the dazzling array of magic and swordsmanship, the bizarre and fantastical creatures, Li Yang enters a mysterious and beautiful world.
Until the master disappeared, the secret of the heavenly pillar was laid bare. Seven fellow apprentices were hunted down by two powerful and ambitious schools of cultivation, both orthodox and unorthodox. Even among cultivators, there was no lack of open strife and hidden schemes, sinister plots and troubles that would not be less than those in the mortal world.
The audience is fully immersed in this different world of fantasy, with the protagonist's sorrow and joy, watching the thrilling pursuit and escape, they will be tense to the point of being frightened, watching the mysterious and unpredictable fighting methods, they will be spiritually excited, seeing Lieyang getting hurt, they will feel sympathetic...
It has to be said that Xu Linyang is indeed a very talented director, she controls the rhythm to an extremely fine degree, completely grasping the audience's sensory nerves.
Then, the real show begins - after Lieyang is injured and falls from the sky, he crashes into the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, where it's said that the most toxic miasma pervades, where the most ferocious demons roam, and where even true immortals enter but never return.
As a giant python slithered through the mountains and forests, approaching the setting sun, the audience held their breath in tension, their hearts racing as if they had jumped into their throats, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on the sun and the rapidly approaching colossal python...
Eleven young people sat in the center of the cinema, except for Xiao Jingchen who looked but didn't understand. The other youngsters couldn't help but stare blankly, Qian Duodu rubbed his head in confusion and bumped Tang Miao Miao beside him, saying "Did I see it wrong? That python looks just like an eggplant?"
Shangguan Zhe and Ai Mei Luojiani couldn't help but nod in agreement, their eyes fixed intently on the screen as if they wanted to stare a flower out of that giant python. Tang Miao Miao blinked stupidly, opened her mouth, and said, "It does look like it, but the eggplant doesn't seem that big."
"Really?!" Qian Duodu's uncertain rhetorical question, Tang Miao Miao... wasn't so sure either, "I guess..."
The audience suddenly exclaimed, and the distracted boys immediately focused their attention, only to catch a glimpse of the final moment of "Python Turning into Beauty".
The beauty looked young, with a simple white dress fluttering like a fairy, almost merging with the vast forest. She was like a budding flower, her skin as smooth as jade, her eyebrows like distant hills, her lips like cherry blossoms, her face like a peach flower. Her movements were like a startled swan, gentle as a dragon dancing in the sky. She was called "Moonlit Flower", "Falling Fish and Geese", "One glance could topple a city, another glance could overthrow a kingdom". With just one smile, she could charm a hundred beauties, making the six palaces' ladies-in-waiting lose their color.
Those smooth and distinct green silks, those bright eyes like a clear moon, with just one glance, even the vast and misty sacred mountains lose their color.
The camera zooms in on a close-up shot of a beautiful woman's face with several exquisite traditional Chinese characters appearing - Imperial Decree [No Evil Adornments]!
Wow——Waah————
The audience was in an uproar again, and no matter which theater it was, almost as soon as the movie showed this little snake demon, it would cause a commotion and a stir. The name "Nie Xiaoqian" is like a curse, representing not only the former "most beautiful child star", but also a miracle that many film and television drama enthusiasts cannot forget, and it has even become an obsession for some people.
If I could see the unparalleled beauty of Wu Xie again, it would be worth dying for!
Of course, the last one is a bit exaggerated. After all, she was only six years old six years ago and will be twelve years old in six years, just enough to attend junior high school. However, the elegance and purity she has shown is surprisingly natural and unblemished, enough to surpass the current popular idols by a height of Mount Tai.
Such an evaluation may be too high for a twelve-year-old child, but it is a fact. At least every audience who watched "Kunlun Pass"... even if they are die-hard fans of other actresses in the film... cannot help but admit that Wu Xie's appearance is the most successful and impressive part of the first episode of "Kunlun Pass". In just a few shots, without any dialogue, she uses her body to convey the charm of the snake demon, and conveys the demon's confusion and ignorance towards human nature through her clear eyes.
On the spot, many people logged onto the forum with their mobile phones, and various posts about Wu Xie almost flooded the screen.
Compared to the fervent excitement of other spectators, the Bai family's young masters were eerily calm. They stared incredulously at Xiao Jingyu, who was clearly spacing out with a vacant expression, while his sister sat demurely in her chair, leaning against the backrest, exuding an air of composure identical to that of Bai Xijing. However, she had placed her hands on her knees, a quintessential "good girl" gesture, which seemed contradictory, didn't it?
The faint light of the movie screen shone on her face, which was thinner than before but still had some baby fat, like an SD doll placed in a showcase.
Even the simplest-minded Xiao Qi couldn't connect the silly-looking kid in front of him with the seductive snake demon from the movie.
What a terrible impression! It's totally ripping off the audience, isn't it?!
Xiao Qi endured and endured, but finally couldn't endure anymore. He carefully poked Xiao Jingchen, pulling his sister back from the dazed ocean, and asked in a low voice, "Jingchen, is this snake demon really your performance?"
Bai Luochen and Xiao Liu immediately perked up their ears, while Shangguan Zhe on the other side of Bai Luochen was stiff as a stone statue, his mind racing with thoughts - This snake demon is really you acting... Really you acting... You acting... Acting...
Xiao Jingchen turned his head and stared at Xiao Qi in a daze, reacting blankly for a while before slowly saying, "Yes."
Bai Luo Chen (grade 6 or 7): "......" You're a big cheater who says one thing but does another!
Shangguan Zhe: "......" He must have been eating popcorn the wrong way, and now he's run into a ghost who's daydreaming, ahahahaha!!!
Although their voices were low, the guard sitting directly behind her could still hear them. He slightly froze, slowly lowered his head, and his dark, starry eyes flickered back and forth between clarity and ferocity. His thin lips also moved silently.
Wow~wow~, I didn't expect this fool to be so interesting, I'm getting a little obsessed!
Don't you dare touch a hair on her head...
Shut up, don't threaten me. We share the same body, even if I move against her, what can you do? What can you do?
What's it to you for the rest of your life... He hates all the cruel, cunning, evil and tyrannical masters in the world.
Song Chao sat next to him, and with his ability, he naturally sensed the changes in Weigong's aura, which was sometimes good and sometimes evil. He stared at Weigong with some concern, his claw-like hand casually placed on his waist, ready to strike Weigong with a non-lethal blow that would only knock him unconscious at any time.
Fortunately, the master of the guardian was very powerful and suppressed the violent secondary personality in a few rounds, not even daring to release a single breath.
He was so focused on guarding that he completely ignored the other sharp-eared boys around him, and by the time he realized it, it was too late. Just then, Qian Duoduo let out an incredulous and ear-shattering roar: "What?! The edict is being performed by you? You're Wuxie?!"
You're just unevil... just unevil... is unevil... unevil... evil...
The reverberation of the horse's hooves is one of the characteristics of a movie theater!
The audience was immersed in the pure and beautiful first love of the demon king and the sun, when a sudden roar spread unexpectedly throughout the theater, echoing everywhere. The audience from all directions couldn't help but turn their heads or look sideways with astonished gazes at the robust young man who was excited to the point of having a bright red face!!!!!!!!
