Chapter 841: Question
"The Siege of October" has a lot of criticism.
First of all, from the perspective of the overall rhythm, the first half is very good, the second half is scattered, and the best fighting scenes are not placed at the end, but finished in advance.
The excitement came to an abrupt end. In the end, there was no way, and there were only two weak chickens left for the decency, so the villain could only be killed by a teacher with a pistol.
The structure is lengthy, the whole film is more than 2 hours, and it lacks the big ** at the end.
There are also a lot of failures in the details, such as Battle, who was obviously stabbed a lot, was inexplicably resurrected, and was stabbed a lot more, which is completely illogical.
Donnie Yen inexplicably has an extra daughter, and Wang Xueqi becomes a pick-up man in seconds.
Wang Xueqi's transformation is more abrupt and not convincing enough......
And there are two things that are the most rubbish:
First, Sun Yat-sen actually came to Hong Kong with great fanfare, and the newspapers actually publicized it, so he almost provoked the Qing court: Come on, come on, you come to kill me!
The second is that Sun Yat-sen's purpose is just to hold an hour-long meeting, so that the sacrifice value of those people is extremely weakened, and there are only two words left, cannon fodder!
According to historical records:
Sun Yat-sen first founded the Xingzhong Society, and in 1905, he established the League in Japan, putting forward the idea of "driving out the Tatars, restoring China, founding the Republic of China, and equalizing land rights".
Headquartered in Tokyo, it plans to set up five branches in China, including the southern branch in Hong Kong, responsible for the affairs of Yunnan, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi.
Sun Yat-sen did come to Hong Kong that year, and he was in a state of deportation, staying on an offshore vessel.
Chen Shaobai, Zheng Guangong and others boarded the ship to meet him, Sun Yat-sen presided over the oath-taking ceremony of the Alliance, established the Hong Kong branch, and elected Chen Shaobai as the president of the branch.
In fact, although Sun Yat-sen was expelled from the Hong Kong government, he repeatedly anchored in the coastal waters or secretly landed in the port to arrange revolutionary work.
"The Siege of October" can be used as the cause of the incident, but the news was suddenly leaked, and it was too late to notify Sun Yat-sen, so he could only try to protect it.
The Hong Kong government took an ambiguous attitude and acquiesced to the Qing court's action, but did not cause a big mess.
So in a relatively secretive situation, one side assassinated, and the other side protected......
And these little people don't understand any revolutionary beliefs, so they definitely don't shout slogans. The little people have the motives of the little people, either for money, or for people, or for love, or for hate, or for righteousness.
Be sure to lay the groundwork.
The actors have changed a lot, and they are still a bunch of stars overall. The movies of the stars are still very popular until 2020.
Wang Xueqi plays the role of a patriotic businessman, and Liang Jiahui plays Chen Shaobai.
Pan Yueming plays the son of a businessman, and Jiang Qinqin makes a cameo appearance as the businessman's stepfamily.
Donnie Yen has a lot of scenes in the original version, because it became popular, but it hasn't been yet. He is a simple gambler, and the businessman is not a pick-up man, he accidentally learned that he had a child, and wanted to leave a sum of money for the child, so he sold his life.
Ren Dahua played the rebel general of the Qing court, and Cao Ying played his daughter.
Wu Jing played the coachman, his kung fu strengthened, and Zhou Xun made a cameo appearance as the girl that the coachman liked.
Because of putting the big war to the end, a hearty ** drama is needed. Wu Jing and Donnie Yen, as the highest combat power of the positive side, fought against the villain leader Hu Jun.
Hu Jun will lead Zhou Billy, Ni Xing, Li Haitao, Jin Song and other fierce men into battle.
In addition, Liming became Xie Junhao, Xie Junhao is quite popular in the mainland because of Duan Zhengchun, and he is also more like a son of Luo Tuo. The setting is both civil and military, and he is a handsome man, of course, that fan is too dramatic, so he has to change it.
The role of Zeng Deyi Shuangxin Zhiwei was increased and replaced by Liu Qingyun.
Battle hasn't changed, and the character is fun. Ge You, Hui Yinghong, etc. also made cameos, purely for the sake of star volume.

"Mr. Xu, long time no see!"
That night, in the private room of the hotel, Chen Kexin greeted him warmly. He is the executive producer of this film, the other executive producer is Huang Jianxin, and the director is Chen Desen.
"Lao Han also came to visit the class, and he just left the day before yesterday. ”
Huang Jianxin, who has filmed "Black Cannon Incident" and "Back to Back Face to Face", is very elegant, like a teacher, and said with a smile: "You guys come in waves, we are under a lot of pressure." ”
"That's why I asked you to join forces, how about cooperation?"
Xu Fei consciously assumed the identity of the host and beckoned to take a seat.
"The communication was very good, we made a movie with this kind of theme, and Mr. Huang gave a lot of advice. Chen Kexin said.
"Mutual friend, I'll learn from you too. ”
Huang Jianxin, who is equivalent to the representative of the mainland, said: "The shooting went smoothly and it will be completed in July." I heard that Yi's new film found Donnie Yen, and he is also filming here?"
"Well, they are mainly in the Qin Palace. What kind of "Son of Heaven" is going on over there, I still have to urge, and let me out when the time comes. ”
Boss Shi: Ahh
Chen Kexin was very interested in "Virus", asked a lot of content, and was envious of Tsui Hark, which was a real $12 million.
"The Siege of October" claims to be 100 million, but in fact, plus the money for landscaping, it is about 60 million.
With the current volume of the mainland, there is a great risk of profitability, but people just dare to invest and shoot, which is much stronger than Hong Kong films.
After having a meal, Xu Fei went back to his room.
As soon as he got out of the shower, there was a knock on the door outside, yo!
"Wait a minute!"
Teacher Xu put on his pajamas, ran to open the door, and poked the two old men outside, but it was Huang Jianxin and the financial director.
Boring!
"Is there something wrong?"
"Well, I'll have to tell you back. ”
Let the two of them into the house, the finances were struggling, Huang Jianxin was impatient, and said, "I'll say it." Isn't there a frontal shot of Sun Yat-sen in the film?
Chen Kexin wanted to find a big star to play and ask Hollywood's top team to make up. We agreed in principle, but as soon as we heard the offer, it cost 700,000 yuan to put on makeup. ”
"How?"
"It is close to changing the face, and the ears, forehead, and nose need major surgery, which can make a person who is not like it at all. ”
"Looking for a big star is to enhance the heat, if you can't tell it's this person, and it's just one shot, then why look for a big star?"
Huang Jianxin disagreed, and said: "We have Sun Yat-sen's special actor, just that Ma Shaohua, he can do it! Our own makeup artist can also be competent."
But what Director Chen meant, this film is distributed to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas, with many stars and many hot spots, and insists on inviting people. ”
“......”
Xu Fei thought for a while and asked, "What did Lao Han say?"
"Lao Han doesn't care, tens of millions have been spent, not less than 700,000. ”
"And I think, uh, I don't know how they're doing in Hong Kong, but from what I've been exposed to, it's a bit of a big deal. ”
The financial report said: "The props are all made by Xiangshan Factory, and I know the price clearly, which is nothing, but it is too wasteful, and I have to buy a batch of exactly the same every two days." ”
Xu Fei looked at Huang Jianxin, and the other party was embarrassed: "There is more damage, and there are more main scenes." We can't tell people that you save some money. ”
No face!
"Well, I probably do. ”
Teacher Xu nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll stay in Xiangshan for a few days." ”
(And ...... )
