Looking at the world, even the young generation of Chinese actors, they may not be able to recite the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", this gorgeous prose has a strong ancient rhyme, a little too much is a coy posture, a little less is to expose the details, in the era of national entertainment, which actor has such an ink background and dares to challenge such a problem?

Now, Lan Li is up for the challenge.

Lan Li, who sat on the stage, was elegant and calm, not at all embarrassed and restrained because of the recitation of ancient texts, and the elegant atmosphere from the bottom of his heart completely shocked the audience, making people feel that everything should be like this. For this matter, Lan Li explained it like this.

"If you recite Shakespeare in public in England, then others will inevitably feel abnormal, but his words and emotions are really beautiful things, and we should learn to be grateful and proud, and when you are sure that you know what you are doing, then your emotions will also be integrated into the words, and burst out enough power to let others feel that touch, and it will not be abnormal. ”

"In the same way, the land of China also has a magnificent history and culture that you can be proud of, and you should also confidently show it and pass on those splendid arts and cultures in your own way. In the basic course of acting, the core meaning of the first lesson is to abandon the reserve and show yourself bravely, as long as you are willing to stand firm in your beliefs, then it is not a strange thing. ”

The origin of the incident is that the host deliberately threw a challenge to Lan Li, the original intention was not to recite the "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion", but to form an intertextuality with the poetry recitation at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, so that Lan Li could have the opportunity to show his literary heritage, and by the way, he could also talk about Lan Li's understanding of Chinese culture.

But the direction of things was a little unexpected.

Lan Li used his perspective and views to interpret the poems, and even gave his own opinions on different aspects such as history, art, culture, etc., and truly recited the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", with a mellow and moving voice and elegant and gentle tone, which made the text truly enjoyable, as if it could glimpse the unbridled figures of those literati in ancient times, which was eye-opening, and only then did he get a glimpse of the magnificence and grandeur behind those articles.

Then, all the news media exploded.

The foreign media marveled at Lan Li's literary literacy, while the local media marveled at Lan Li's linguistic mastery, what else could Lan Li do? Even the most difficult Chinese could easily be killed! Or in other words, what height and limit can the connotation of hereditary aristocracy reach?

This should be the first non-Chinese actor in history to successfully recite the prose, in fact, even if it includes Chinese actors, it is estimated that it is the first time in the world.

Surprised, surprised, panicked, exclaimed, shocked!

The powerful impact force makes people a little overwhelmed, and "conspiracy theories" emerge on the Internet as soon as possible, thinking that all this was arranged in advance, and preparations were made in advance in order to please the Chinese audience, and all of them were just propaganda methods arranged by the crew in advance!

But this statement was submerged in an instant, even if it was a conspiracy, Lan Li had prepared a lot of work for a meeting, and this sincerity was admirable; even if it was a conspiracy, Lan Li did recite the "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion", this connotation would not deceive; even if it was a conspiracy, it was an upright "conspiracy", Lan Li conquered the audience with his performance, and if it was really a conspiracy, they welcomed other actors to participate at any time, such as

"Mr. Chris Wu, would you like to read it aloud?"

"And that Mr. Lu, you are from an authentic Chinese background, and you grew up in this land, do you want to try it?"

"Those netizens who don't have backache when they stand and talk, why don't you come to a paragraph? Don't want any Shakespeare, 'King Teng's Pavilion Preface' is fine, you can try it yourself?"

Voices like this began to emerge and swept through with a strong force. The reality is that in the era of national entertainment, there are more and more grassroots stars, and the literary literacy of these artists is often worrying.

So, even if it's a conspiracy, so what?

According to common sense, those provocative voices should disappear and all keep their mouths shut, but this is not the case on Huaxia's social networking platforms, those sunspots are getting more and more energetic and excited, and they have all entered brainless mode one after another, and they are spraying more and more powerfully:

"can only kneel and lick", "worship foreign flattery", "no shame", "national culture is ruined", "forcibly create hot spots"...... And so on and so forth.

There is no context and no reason, but he just started cursing regardless of it, and then he entered the mode of "Xiucai meets soldiers", which obviously cannot be understood according to common sense. However, this time they still failed to make more waves, only limited to a small group, talking to themselves, and the overall trend, Lan Li easily won back a city, and it was ruthless and big to win back a city.

The topic and video of "Lan Li's recitation of 'Tengwang Pavilion Preface'" created the biggest frenzy of the year in just one week, and the hottest topics on all major platforms have easily exceeded 100 million, which has undoubtedly become the biggest hot topic this summer, and has completely ignited the accumulated Internet wave.

Then, the cinema became the biggest winner, and "Interstellar" began to rise strongly in a rocket attitude!

But the situation is somewhat different from what was imagined

Last year, "Gravity" set a record in the Chinese market, with a result of 2.1 billion yuan of about 300 million US dollars, and became the biggest winner of the overseas box office market with strong performance data, and further projected the world's attention to the emerging film market in China.

This year, "Interstellar" landed again, and naturally it was highly anticipated, and the three main creators of Lan Li, Annie and Nolan personally landed in the magic capital to promote, which also expressed Warner Bros.'s firm confidence, but the actual situation deviated slightly from expectations, and it had nothing to do with the ups and downs of the Internet, but related to the "Inception"-style brain-burning.

The Chinese market lacks enough confidence in this kind of brain-burning movie, and in 2010, "Inception" chose to land in the Chinese market in September, which was relatively off-season, and the box office performance of the opening weekend was mediocre, and finally relied on a strong word of mouth to complete the counterattack, and successfully harvested 400 million yuan of box office data in the Chinese market, which can be called a small surprise.

However, compared with visual effects blockbusters like "Avatar", the box office potential of sci-fi brain-burning movies is still worrying, even in the mature North American market, not to mention the growing Chinese market? This also makes the local distribution company in charge of distribution lack enough confidence, as for the blue gift? Even Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise do not necessarily have star appeal in China, let alone the young blue gift?

The most important thing is that two weeks after the release of "Interstellar", there will be a strong impact of the annual blockbuster "Transformers 4", in this land, the appeal of "Transformers" is definitely much stronger than Christopher Nolan and Lanley Hall, no one can underestimate.

In addition, "Interstellar" also needs to face the attack of other local films at the same time, "Eavesdropping 3", "Breakup Master", "Small Times 3" and "After the End" The next July is the protection month of Chinese local films, which also makes the box office growth space of "Interstellar" further compressed.

For various reasons, in the first week of the Chinese premiere of "Interstellar", the overall momentum was not optimistic, and the film scheduling rate of major theaters was only about 30%, which was not only far inferior to more than 50% of "Transformers 4", but also "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Godzilla" and other works The film scheduling rate is not comparable, compared with North America, the appeal of "Interstellar" is a grade lower, completely behind the popcorn visual effects blockbuster.

Then, all kinds of accidents appeared, the ups and downs within 36 hours, the twists and turns of the story, people were overwhelmed, and to some extent, the first wave of "boycott frenzy" still had a serious impact on attendance, which can be directly seen from the box office data:

30 million RMB!

"Interstellar" chose to be officially released on Wednesday, and the single-day box office data for the premiere on Wednesday was not 300 million yuan, but 30 million yuan. What kind of data is this? A horizontal comparison shows a huge gap:

Last year, "Gravity" handed over 20 million yuan at just midnight to create history, easily creating a historical record in the Chinese market, and then set a series of box office records such as a single day of premiere and a single day of release, sweeping 655 million yuan in just three days, breaking the record of the highest local box office of a foreign-language film held by "Avatar" in just two weeks of release.

The midnight data of "Gravity" is almost comparable to the box office data of the premiere of "Interstellar", which is ...... What kind of magical data comparison is this?

But that's where the reality really is, and it's making everyone fall through their glasses.

Although every box office superstar has a time of Waterloo, and the box office of "Interstellar" in the North American market did not hit a big hit in the first week, which seems to be a logical result, such a huge gap, even a plummet, still makes everyone fall through the eyes, which proves once again:

The Chinese market does have infinite potential, but it has not yet been able to fully mature, and the box office of genre films is still in a state of instability and uncertainty, which is why Hollywood films that come to promote have to outsource all their publicity and distribution to local Chinese companies.

If it continues to develop like this, then the Chinese box office of "Interstellar" will hit the streets, but obviously, this market has brought surprises again.
