Acting is originally a passive profession, and bad movies are not bad movies, many times it is a factor that integrates all aspects. What an actor can control is probably not only his own business ability, but also the quality of the script.

Is "Wu Ji" a bad movie?

He Xin thought that compared with the later generations of "Notes on Tomb Robbery", "Animal World", "Thirty Miles of Three Lives and Three Worlds", at least it could not be a bad movie. Not to mention epic bad movies like "Liuhai Fortress", "Sky Hunting", and "Asura".

And when he took over this play, on the one hand, he was going for money, and on the other hand, as a fledgling newcomer in the circle, he couldn't refuse Director Chen's promotion. Besides, how can an actor not act in bad movies, he doesn't want to be too different.

Of course, from his heart, it is difficult to agree that "Wu Ji" is a bad movie. Although he watched the premiere, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Contrary to the rave reviews at the premiere, negative reviews of "Wu Ji" began to appear in the newspapers the next day. And the Internet that has just emerged is full of extreme ridicule and bad comments.

The media is often the most undisciplined, and it may be more objective and mixed at first, but gradually with the negative evaluation on the Internet, it also begins to follow the trend and sing about it.

In the face of sudden bad comments, the stars seem to be at a loss, but Chen Dadao has always remained very calm, every time he goes to publicize, when facing sharp questions from reporters, he is always gentle and elegant, peddling his unfathomable understanding of art and his thoughts to be reflected in the movie.

Maybe he thinks that a real filmmaker is to dare to face the criticism of the outside world. Just like when "Hero" was released, the national teacher also faced overwhelming bad reviews, but this did not prevent "Hero" from making a lot of money. At the same time, another way of saying it now is that "Hero" ushered in the era of blockbusters in the mainland.

Lo and behold, the media always follows the trend.

Director Chen has always been very confident in his works, and he once told everyone in private that it doesn't matter if you can't understand his movies now, there will definitely be more audiences who will understand his movies in ten years.

In other words, his films are more advanced than those of the national teacher.

But the question is, is "Boundless" a "Hero"?

In the process of traveling around the country for publicity, it may be He Xin's praise of Chen Dadao when he was interviewed by Za Lang, especially the eye-catching title "He Xin talks about "Wuji": Chen Dadao is a super-first-class director, and "Farewell My Concubine" is China's "Godfather", which made Chen Dadao sour.

The dissatisfaction with He Xin's failure to participate in the Cannes campaign has been eliminated a lot, and he always smiles every time he meets, with a look of "teachable", and even in the publicity activities, he said unprecedentedly bluntly that He Xin is the most spiritual, the most expressive, and a rare young actor in China.

The sedan chair is lifted, touted by each other, and improved each other!

Fortunately, the bad reviews from the outside world did not affect the performance of the box office, and since the national screening on the evening of the 14th, the box office of "Wu Ji" has been rising steadily, and the national box office on the night of the screening has exceeded 8 million. On the premiere day of the 15th, the national box office of "Wuji" suddenly reached 21.15 million.

In addition, to Hexin to complete the last stop of Guangzhou promotion, the national box office reached 74.52 million yuan in the first weekend, not only breaking the record of 64 million in the first week held by "Kung Fu", but also stepping on the first week score of 62 million set by the national teacher "Hero", becoming the highest-grossing film in China in the first week.

For a time, Chen Dadao was in high spirits.

He Xin left the propaganda team early the next morning and flew to Xiamen.

......

At this time, the crew had already transferred from Gulangyu to Zhangzhou Old Street for filming, and the main actors of the crew were still staying at the Bailuzhou Hotel, where they originally lived. After all, the conditions here are better than those in Zhangzhou, and the distance between the two cities is very close, 60 kilometers apart, and the drive is only an hour.

"Brother Xin, do you want to try the roast meat dumplings out of the pot?"

At the door of the hotel, I met Zhang Zhiheng and his party who had just returned from shopping.

This young brother of Yinghuang is actually quite cheerful, and after getting acquainted with He Xin, he is less restrained and more enthusiastic. Next, the two of them had a lot of rivalry scenes around Wang Biyun played by Xu Wanxuan, most of which were filmed on the old street of Zhangzhou.

Zhangzhou Old Street mainly reflects the street scene of Taipei in the 40s. In the past two days, the crew is filming a panoramic view of the old street and some crowded scenes, so the actors rarely have a two-day break.

"Okay!" He Xinle replied.

Roast pork dumplings are a local famous food, and he once heard Teresa Teng's southern Fujian song "Roast Meat Dumplings" in the 70s. It's just that I've been busy filming some time ago, and I haven't tasted it yet.

For zongzi, of course, He Xin will not be a stranger, he grew up in the south in his last life, every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, every household will wrap zongzi, there are meat dumplings, red bean dumplings, bean paste dumplings, date dumplings and so on.

Even the current deity of this body, in his memory, when he was a child, his father of the Shanghai educated youth would always wrap a few large meat dumplings that were different from the traditional yellow rice and jujube dumplings in the Northeast. Yuan Hexin has been greedy for this bite since he was a child, but the zongzi he bought outside later didn't seem to have the taste of the zongzi made by his father back then.

The local barbecue dumplings in Xiamen are a little different from the meat dumplings in his memory, the meat dumplings in his memory are all long, wrapped in a thick layer of glutinous rice, and a fat and thin pork belly is hidden in the middle.

And the roast pork dumplings here are triangular, there is not much glutinous rice on the outside, the filling inside is larger, and the meat seems to be more flavorful, and there are fragrant and glutinous chestnuts, which taste really good.

Compared with the severe cold of minus ten degrees in the capital, the weather here in Xiamen is indeed pleasant, the sky is clear during the day, the sun is shining in the sky, and the temperature of 20 degrees is like a world away, which is more comfortable than the propaganda in Hong Kong and Guangzhou a few days ago.

He Xin couldn't sit still in the room in the afternoon, so he changed into a pair of beige slacks and a long-sleeved Burberry T-shirt. A sun hat and sunglasses are standard in this weather, and walking down the street doesn't look obtrusive at all.

He didn't eat lunch, and the bite of the roast pork dumplings he ate in the morning was really delicious, but unfortunately he didn't enjoy it. When I went out, I specially inquired with Zhang Zhiheng.

He knows that in Xiamen's Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, he used to see the street signs on the side of the wharf every day when he took a boat to and from Gulangyu Island and the city.

It is known as a pedestrian street, and it is probably the most lively street in the city. I heard Zhang Zhiheng say that Zhongshan Road is very long, stretching from the wharf by the Lujiang River to Zhongshan Park in the center of the city.

The 1980 barbecue dumpling shop that sells roast pork dumplings is on the edge of Zhongshan Park, at the end of Zhongshan Road opposite the Xiamen Public Security Bureau. It is very close to the Bailuzhou Hotel where I stayed, and there is a starting fee for taking a taxi, of course, He Xin also has a special car arranged by the crew.

But He Xin is idle, so he just wants to go shopping, and buy some souvenirs or something by the way. When he was in Tibetan Province, the local yak jerky in Yangbajing was really good, and he bought a lot, but when he came to the crew of "Stone", he was robbed by those gangs.

He walked all the way along the Bailuzhou Road in front of the hotel, there are many small shops along the street, but now the so-called commemorative goods in the city are basically the same, and it is estimated that they are all wholesaled from Yiwu.

The most famous specialty is probably the pie in Xiamen, which has sweet and salty fillings, and the outside is puff pastry, which seems to be similar to the Suzhou-style mooncakes on the market in terms of appearance and taste.

After walking for about 20 minutes, we passed by the green and lush Zhongshan Park, turned to Park South Road, and the lively Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street was not far in front.

The legendary 1980 barbecue dumplings are not far from the intersection, next to a small alley called Chenghuangmiao Lane. The door face is very small, and there is a long queue at the door.

He took a look first, and it not only sold roast meat dumplings, but also Xiamen's special snacks such as sand tea noodles, fried oysters, and fish balls. Originally, he hated queuing the most, and it seemed that there was more than one store selling roast meat dumplings all the way. However, he hesitated slightly, and felt that it was necessary to punch the card once in a rare time.

The business of this small shop was really good, he didn't have long in line, there were a dozen more people behind him, and after observation, he found that there were not only tourists but also local diners.

Generally speaking, being able to attract local diners means that something is really good. He also settled down and lined up slowly, and after a while, in addition to roasting meat dumplings, he also wanted to taste the sand tea noodles and fried oysters here.

After waiting in line for about half an hour, it was finally its turn.

"A roast pork dumpling, a fried oyster, and ......"

He looked at the menu on the wall and hesitated, wanting to eat Shacha noodles but also found that the swallow skin flat soup here seemed to be very good.

"What else?" asked the cashier's aunt in an urging tone.

"Then you want sand ......"

He was just halfway through his sentence when he saw a woman in the doorway with a backpack and a white sun hat peering inside, as he had just done.

Even though she was still wearing sunglasses and a mask, the figure was all too familiar.

And she muttered to herself: "How many people!"

As soon as he heard this voice, He Xin was almost sure. When he grew his mouth and looked at the woman with a surprised expression, and was about to greet him, the woman also happened to look at him at this time.

Seeing that she was obviously stunned, she was surprised: "Why are you here?"
