Chapter 860: The October Siege 1
From 1993, when "The Great Satan" entered the film industry, to last year's "No Thieves in the World", Xu Fei has made 14 domestic films, with a total box office of more than 700 million.
Among them, there are 6 Chinese New Year films, with a box office of nearly 400 million, and the results are unmatched.
When money and talents poured into the TV industry, Mr. Xu moved forward with a heavy load and opened the New Year file in advance, allowing the audience to have a certain movie consumption habit in advance.
And due to the reform of the theater chain, this year's box office is higher than in history.
"Pearl Harbor" 104 million, now 138 million. "Big Names" is 43 million, and it is now estimated at 75 million. "Thunderbolt Baby" is 75 million, and now it is 90 million.
These are the head films, and the rest have a small lift. "My Brothers and Sisters" is 23 million, and now it is only 28 million.
Overall, the film market has become popular, but due to the low level of consumption, most viewers only focus on those limited hot films.
......
December 29th.
The 14-day schedule of "Big Names" is over, and "October Siege" is released.
In the ticket hall of China Film Times Cinema, there was a long queue unexpectedly. After buying the tickets, a couple ran to the bookstore that sold audio and video and the surrounding area.
The girl shouted, "Do you have a new puzzle?"
"Yes. ”
The clerk hugged a large box, which was the puzzle piece of "The Siege of October". There are few people who buy this, and at first glance they are veterans, and the clerk asked: "Are you done spelling "No Thieves in the World"?"
"It's over, just wait for the new film!"
The girl paid and shook the big box: "Your amethyst card, I've got it!"
"I also hope you can take it, it shows that you really support Chinese films, go slowly, ......"
Out of the bookstore, the boy was curious: "What is this for?"
"Five-year plan, five puzzles, all put together, you can get a VIP card that is free forever. ”
"Wow, that's amazing! But when did you buy "No Thieves in the World", why don't I know?"
"It wasn't you last year. ”
Boy: Orz
When I entered, Hall 2, more than 400 seats were seated in 9 percent, and only the front row was empty.
This hall has become the first choice for fans in Beijing to watch blockbusters, compared with Hall 7, which shows literary films, and has accumulated a small audience for more than a year.
The ticket prices are low, and they are all die-hards, such as "Let's Talk", "Can't Help It", "8:35" and other films, only here are screened in the capital.
Of course, it is not a special literary film, if there is one, there is no normal scheduling.
After sitting for a moment, the light dimmed.
The screen lit up, and it was the familiar CG titles, the ink-style "World Film and Television". Every time everyone watches a film here, they can feel the obvious difference in the sound and picture effects, which is one grade higher than others.
At the beginning, it was Hong Kong at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
A group of braided male and female students had just finished class and went down the stairs with the teacher.
"The word democracy comes from the Greek. Literally, it means the joint management of state affairs in accordance with the principles of equality and the subordination of the minority to the majority......"
The teacher made a cameo appearance by Wang Zhiwen, without braids, to explain what democracy is.
"Professor Yang, can we see such a day?" asked a female student.
"I know the day is coming, and even if I can't see it, you will be able to see it. ”
In the first two minutes, the audience's emotions have just been substituted into the movie, and they suddenly hear "Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
Looking up at the schoolgirl, the female student who listened to the lecture blinked violently, blood splattered all over her face, and the teacher fell to the ground.
"Professor Yang!"
The students screamed, passers-by watched, and policemen wearing Little Red Riding Hoods also crowded over, and the scene was chaotic.
At the same time, a few lines of subtitles appeared on the screen: Hong Kong's first political assassination, on January 10, 1901, the first president of the Xingzhong Society, Yang Quyunzhong, was shot and killed. (Real Events)
Immediately afterwards, a concise and clear introduction to the background of the times, the Qing court was crumbling, the flames of revolution were rising, and Hong Kong became a refuge for anti-Qing exiles......
The original movie followed a palace scene, in which the minister said that Sun Wen had set off from Japan to Hong Kong, and Cixi personally ordered the assassination.
Please, you Sun Wen went to Hong Kong, even Lafayette knew, mocking Kaiman, who would kill if you didn't kill you?
Now it has been changed to that the Qing court seized a revolutionary party and tortured him to learn that Sun Wen was going to secretly land in Hong Kong in the near future, and the person who connected him was Chen Shaobai, so he sent someone to assassinate him.
It was Hu Jun who carried out the mission.
As soon as Hu Jun appeared, the audience exclaimed, Qiao Feng's image was still in his mind, but now his eyebrows have been shaved, his skin is darker, and his face is fierce. Ranwen
"Villain?"
"He's playing a villain?"
"That decent person must not be killed, a set of eighteen palms of dragon descending!"
The first half is methodical, and the characters appear in turn.
Wang Xueqi is a wealthy businessman, and he even made friends with Chen Shaobai played by Liang Jiahui, and secretly funded it. His son is Pan Yueming, who secretly followed Liang Jiahui to make a revolution.
Donnie Yen is a bad gambler, and his daughter-in-law left home. He took Hu Jun's money and was responsible for tracking Liang Jiahui, but he was despised by Hu Jun's subordinates and ridiculed in every way.
Wu Jing is Wang Xueqi's coachman, knows kung fu, and has a crush on the daughter of the photo studio owner - Zhou Xun makes a cameo.
Ren Dahua was a military general of the Qing Dynasty, supported the revolutionary party, and led his brothers to Hong Kong to open an opera troupe for a living. has a daughter, Cao Ying.
Xie Junhao is the son of Luo Tuo, who fell in love with his father's woman, and ended up begging on the street.
Slowly unfolding, each with its own story line, a picture of a special group of beings. And the first contradiction broke out, Wang Xueqi found out that his son was actually doing revolution, and he quarreled with Liang Jiahui.
"At my age, I don't care if it's a revolutionary or not, but my son definitely can't!"
The Qing court was in the dark, and the revolutionary party was in the light.
Liang Jiahui didn't know that the news had been leaked, but he came to the troupe to find Ren Dahua out of caution, and he wanted to protect Sun Wen at that time. As a result, he was tracked by Donnie Yen, and Hu Jun was killed.
There are also changes here.
Pan Yueming quarreled with Wang Xueqi, left home to find Liang Jiahui, and was in the drama troupe together.
"Whoa!"
"Crackling!"
In the theater, everyone was discussing things, and suddenly the ceiling was smashed, and a group of black-clothed people fell from the sky. I can't help but say, fight.
The first fight scene in the whole film.
Hu Jun didn't make a move at all, and there were four heavenly kings below.
Billy Zhou reproduces the Japanese officer in "Jingwu Heroes", practicing kung fu horizontally, and he is powerful.
Li Haitao held two short blades and walked high to attack agile. Jin Song relied on recklessness, nearly one meter nine tall, a fist the size of a sandbag, and a child with one punch.
Ni Xing was the most domineering, he had just killed an opponent, and when he saw another person trying to escape, he jumped up from the table, snapped a knee blow, and hit the man's lower back.
At the same time, the hand grabbed the opponent's head and broke it back, and there was a clear sound of bones breaking.
The man's head was tilted back, and his upper body was bent back at an incredible angle, like a circle.
"it!"
"It's too fierce!"
"Chang Wei is really born with divine power!"
Xu Fei has strict requirements in action design, strong and fierce, and anyone who has to be cool after watching it.
The Four Heavenly Kings were rampant, Ren Dahua lasted for a few rounds and was killed, and Pan Yueming was also killed...... And then the audience was dumbfounded.
Wang Zhiwen died when he appeared, OK, that's called a cameo.
How did these two people die?
In the bloody battle in the theater, Liang Jiahui was arrested, and only Cao Ying was knocked unconscious and escaped.
She woke up and ran back to the theater, where she saw that the killer had retreated, and the police had taken care of the aftermath, and the corpses were lying on the ground covered with a white cloth. Her acting skills are much stronger than Brother Chun:
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
I rummaged through them one by one, no, no, and finally found them, crying heartbreakingly.
gave Donnie Yen a single shot, he stood in the police pile, and glanced over here, with some guilt and unbearability on his face.
Wang Xueqi also hurried over, and when he saw his son at a glance, the whole person collapsed.
In the original version, the son didn't die until the end.
And because Chen Shaobai was arrested, the wealthy businessman saw the letter Chen Shaobai left for him, and suddenly took on the important task of protecting Sun Wen.
WHY???
The motivation is completely insufficient! The abruptness of the transformation.
But as soon as the son died, the motive was enough, he was such a son!
(Coming soon!)
