Chapter 772: 2000

"Big failure, the most insincere New Year's film!"

"Superficial and naΓ―ve, lacking the most basic logic, everything is trying to get closer to third-rate romance films. ”

"We're going to use this to fight Hollywood?"

The debut of "Fifty First Loves" has attracted a lot of criticism, mainly because "lost the warmth and social conditions in previous Chinese New Year films, and fictionalized a Snow White-like fairy tale, which made the movie-watching group young and ...... no basis for reality"

That's right, this film is a love routine and spiritual opium, but the deep contempt contained in the words is the consistent style of domestic film critics.

Since the 80s, directors have pursued art infinitely, and a large number of film critics have pursued more than directors.

Due to the long-term ideological guidance of "unity of the three sexes" and "appreciation of elegance and vulgarity", I have always looked down on superficial commercial films. Even in 1999, this trend has not yet dissipated.

What is the unity of the three sexes, the appreciation of elegance and vulgarity? This special mother is the highest standard of the movie!

It's great that a movie can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar! This should be the pursuit of the goal, not the popular criterion, but some people will never distinguish:

Art films, low-budget commercial films, medium-budget commercial films, commercial blockbusters, and blockbusters that combine art and commerce.

In stark contrast, there is an audience survey:

"It's interesting, ouch at the end. ”

"I think it's good, my friends around me have seen it. ”

"It's not as memorable as "Party A and Party B", but as a happy Chinese New Year film, I think it's quite qualified. ”

"How touched, if Pan Yueming could do this to me, ahhh

It will be released on the same day, and wait for the statistics in the capital area to come out:

The first five days of "Fifty First Loves" were 6.1 million!

The first five days of "Sky Stealing Trap", 2.98 million!

"The winner of the first round has been decided, 9 million won 400 million!"

"The company in the world said that if you win the championship, you will win the championship!"

"The film market has finally seen the light of day after a year of sluggishness, and Chinese films still need to rise!"

"Fifty First Loves" shocked famous Hollywood directors, or bought the rights to the remake. ”

Historically, the North American box office of "Sky Trap" was only 87 million US dollars, and the domestic box office was 29 million yuan. Now due to the excitement of the fight, it may be higher, and Mr. Xu doesn't care.

According to the current trend, Xiao Gongzi's first Chinese New Year film is expected to be 5-60 million, and outsiders seem to be against the sky, and in his heart he just used it to cushion the schedule.

This year, it can't even be considered a warm-up, and it will be seen from next year.

..................

Millennium, derived from Christianity, means 1,000 years.

It is not uncommon to cross a century, and it is indeed rare to cross a thousand years, and it has been hyped by various countries, and the whole world is welcoming the millennium.

Xu Fei's memory in his previous life is probably that Phoenix Satellite TV did a "Millennium Journey" program, with Yu Qiuyu as a guest. Then Andy held a New Year's Eve concert and sang a song "Love You for 10,000 Years".

December 31, night.

In order to avoid staying up late and getting sleepy, Mr. Xu slept after dinner, which would open his eyes at seven o'clock.

went to the bathroom to flush his face, came back and threw himself on the bed, rubbing Zhang Li's face: "Get up...... Honey is up ......"

"Hmm!"

Zhang Li arched, not in good spirits: "It's uncomfortable to sleep, and I'm always dreaming." ”

She opened her eyes and closed them again, "her head hurts." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll make you a cup of honey. ”

He mixed two glasses of honey water and brought it to the living room, where the news broadcast was playing on the TV.

"At 11 o'clock this evening, a celebration of the new millennium will be held at the China Millennium Monument, and XXX and others will attend.

The whole event is divided into three parts: the first part of the gala, 8,000 literary and art workers and people from all walks of life will perform drumming, lion dance, etc.

The second part is the overture to the celebration, which is dominated by dragon dances and cabaret performances.

The third part is the celebration ceremony, including the unveiling of the monument, the lighting of the Chinese flame, and the ringing of the Chinese century bell.

It is reported that at 0:00 on January 1, the flame will be lit and burned forever in the center of the square, symbolizing the never-ending creation of Chinese civilization......"

"Hah!"

Zhang Li yawned in his arms, and said lazily: "Sounds good, but it's a pity that Xiao Xu can't go." ”

"She can't go, it's too noisy. ”

Teacher Xu touched her three-month-old belly, which was soft and tender, and warm, and said, "I suddenly have a hunch that you two must be a man and a woman." ”

"Oh, who's the boy?"

"Then how do I know, I like my daughter. ”

"Son, you don't care?"

"I mean that the method of education is different, the ancients said that the poor raise their children and the rich raise their daughters. ”

"The ancients said that?"

"Anyway, when the time comes, we will tell him that the family is very poor, I am a small stall vendor, you sew and mend for others, thanks to the relief of friends, there is this house and car ......."

"You're afraid you're a fool!"

Zhang Li glanced at him and said seriously: "No matter boys and girls, first of all, they must be kind, strong, and know how to think, and there is no need to hide their property, we must teach them to understand correctly." ”

"Uh-huh, you're right!"

Shh

She sat for a while, dizzy, and went to the shower to wash her hair.

At nine o'clock, the two went out and rushed to West Chang'an Avenue by car, just like the National Day, martial law again.

On the west side of the Revolutionary Military Museum, the China Millennium Monument is located here, extending from here to the West Railway Station, about 1.5 kilometers. Colorful lanterns are hung high, dragons and lions dance, and the lights are bright.

More than 20,000 people gathered to welcome the millennium.

Xu Fei entered from the south entrance and saw a stele 9 meters long and 1.6 meters high, covered with a large red cloth. Inside, there is a sunken circular square.

In the center of the square is a square cauldron and a bronze corridor connecting to the Millennium Monument. The shape of the Millennium Monument is an ancient "sundial", with a huge space-time probe standing obliquely pointing to the sky.

Xu Fei turned around, only feeling bright.

Floor lamps, laser lights, lighting lights, and decorative lights complement each other, just like daytime, and there is a giant number "2000" composed of colored lights in the opposite sky.

When there are many people, the lights are hot, but they don't feel cold.

Approaching 11 o'clock, the order became stricter, and he, Zhang Li and 19 other people were invited to the altar, where 80 lion dances from the north and south were prepared.

The hostess brought a tray with brushes and cinnabar, and there was also a special person to teach.

"After a while, you dip it in cinnabar, tap it three times, the left eye, the right eye, and the heavenly spirit, and the order is not wrong. ”

"Good. ”

There are 80 lions and 21 people, all of whom are successful people from all walks of life. Tonight's task is to put the finishing touch, and he has been assigned 3 heads.

"Hey, lion dance!"

"I want to do the lion dance in the Asian Games that year, and I did it single-handedly. ”

Teacher Xu touched the big furry head, was gentle and nostalgic, and stunned the buddies inside.

The clock ticked and ticked to 11 o'clock.

The live music suddenly sounded, and the live TV broadcast officially began, and the host shouted: "Next, please XXX and other 21 outstanding contributors from all walks of life to give the lions the eye." ”

β€œ......”

Teacher Xu held his breath and concentrated, the pen walked the dragon and snake, brushed and brushed in one go, and clicked on the nine orifices.

The lion blinked and shook its head, as if awakened, and then leaped up and down, kicking off the prelude to celebration. There was a young man in a white tunic beating gongs and drums, and a girl like a flower waving a red ribbon......

The scene suddenly became enthusiastic.

He didn't have time to look, he didn't go to his seat, but squeezed out. It's easy to squeeze out, gather with Zhang Li, and take a detour to catch home.

The urban area is bright, two headlights searchlight the road ahead, turn left and turn right.

"What time is it?"

"11:45. ”

"Not yet. ”

The two of them went upstairs, the lights were on in the house, Xiao Xu had already come from the small building, watching TV with a big belly, and a handful of melon seeds in his hand.

"Ah, the Brilliant Entrepreneur is back. ”

"Where's Sister Lan?"

"Let her go. ”

Xiao Xu turned his head, round and white, and said with a smile: "You two are interesting, if you don't do it, you have to run back."

How good is the lion, how can it be so good? Ming'er will get me one, and I'll ...... some too."

Tut!

One pinched one side of his face and began to twist it.

"Oops, I was wrong!"

"Ah, my stomach hurts, my stomach hurts!"

On TV, the flag is already being raised.

More than 20,000 people sang the national anthem, and the fire collected from Zhoukoudian also came to the scene, and the stele covered with red cloth was unveiled, revealing the five big characters of "China Millennium Monument" in 386 handwriting.

386 Delivers New Year's Message:

"Tonight, in the East and West, between the South and the North of the world, the people of all countries, regardless of nationality or creed, are rejoicing at the arrival of this historic moment.

At this moment, it is the most inducing people to look back on the past and look forward to the future. Only by correctly summing up history can we better move towards the future!"

In the last ten seconds, all leaders and all attendees, count down together:

"Ten, nine, eight, seven......"

A family of five is also counting down:

"Three, two, one!"

Rumble!

The blazing flame was lit in the center of the square, and the Chinese Century Bell in the northeast corner rang, echoing in the night sky of the capital far and deeply, and the audience shouted:

"2000, here we come!"
