Chapter Ninety-Nine: Do We Need a Reason for Indulgence in Him?
The release of "Once Upon a Time" quickly set off a wave of movie-watching in China. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Qian has a great reputation.
The reputation of singing, the reputation of writing songs, the reputation of picking up girls, the reputation of making TV series, and the beautiful first cry of "My Sassy Girlfriend" brought him a strong reputation as a film director.
All of this has made his new movie released, no matter what it is filmed, no matter how it is made, it will circle a fan ticket first.
And because of the excellent theatrical evaluation received by the in-house preview screening in advance, after the film was released on canvas in 1935 across the country, the film quickly increased the film scheduling rate to a height of 42%!
That's a very high film schedule.
Up to now, only Zhao Meicheng of the Spring Festival file in China, with many years of word-of-mouth, incomparably stable film quality, and the dominance of the Spring Festival file, can get more than 50% of the film scheduling rate in the early stage of release, and even more than 60% at one time!
In addition to him, even Liu Chengzhang's "Sword Immortal", which had previously endured extremely high expectations at the box office, can get 47% at the top of the sky - no matter how high it is, it is close to impossible!
And once it enters the summer season, even if it is a popular film, it is difficult to get a stable scheduling rate of more than 40% in the second week of release!
This is the law of the film market, and no one can break it.
However, even the 42% film scheduling rate is high enough! I have to say that although I started my internship with "On the Road" and gradually got better and became famous from "My Sassy Girlfriend", now, under the leadership of Qi Jie, Minghu Culture has begun to accumulate a certain reputation and contacts in film distribution - although there is still a certain gap with their strong strength in record distribution.
Of course, in the strong distribution ability, the film is not good, it should be fluttered!
There are countless precedents in film history.
However, it is obvious that the reputation of "Once Upon a Time" cannot be bad at all!
It is a good movie and a good story that has been verified by the audience in another time and space, and even by more than 20 years of time, coupled with the positioning of "kung fu movies" that seem extremely novel in this time and space because of the difference in time and space, and those incomparably novel martial arts action designs, as well as Li Qian's appropriate adjustment in plot, set and shooting according to the reality of this time and space......
Everything means that this movie will at least be a good movie.
On the night of the premiere, the official release, many audience reviews had already begun to appear on the Internet, and by the next day, newspapers and large portals in China had already published the manuscript in advance.
"It's fresh, it's funny, it's full of ideas, it's a 'kung fu' movie you've never seen before! There's no doubt that the two films made last year weren't out of recklessness or arrogance, they were just out of genius-like self-confidence. Li Qian will continue to continue his myth of success, because "Once Upon a Time" is invincible and good-looking!"
-- Entertainment Observer, front page headline, "Full of Kung Fu - I Look"
"This story about a national hero is beautiful and hot-blooded. It's not the same thing at all as Guo Yulong's high-flying martial arts like fairies and monsters! He fights very realistically, but it's very exciting! Anyway, I personally will definitely go to watch it a second time, and as for whether you go to see it or not, that's your problem! All I know is that if you don't watch it, you will lose a good-looking movie and a 100-minute super cool experience!"
- Shuncheon Daily, supplement, "Li Qian's "Kung Fu" - "Fei Hong" in and out of the play
"Following "My Sassy Girlfriend", Li Qian once again handed in an impeccable answer! The same is a light comedy, the difference is that this time he told us a national hero, and the story of his powerful and real kung fu! A new genre, but just as good-looking! He has always been so brave to pioneer! And his pioneering can always bring us fresh, interesting and good-looking stories! So, we love him, we indulge him, do we need a reason? We can even accept that he marries even ten more concubines, even a hundred more confidantes, and a thousand more scandals, as long as he can continue to release new songs and make new movies for us, it is enough, isn't it? I think we need to accept the fact that a genius is often a bad boy, or at least a guy who is so energetic that he has nowhere to vent!"
- Oriental Times, supplement, "I love this genius"
"I take back the doubts and criticisms I gave last year, after watching "Once Upon a Time" yesterday, now I think that Li Qian can try to make three movies this year, as long as he can be busy! Anyway, I don't have too many good-looking movies...... Finally, I want to ask, Master, when can we see the legendary "Red Sorghum" of your bald play?"
――Yanshan Metropolis Daily, Supplement, "My Letter of Apology"
"Obviously, the incident of filming two dramas in a year that was questioned by the media last year was just another underestimation of the genius creativity of the leader, and there was no difference from every previous one! In this new film "Once Upon a Time", the leader vividly showed his abundant talent in film creation, as well as his understanding of 'kung fu'! I have to say that the whole story is told beautifully, light comedy, and there will be some hilarious plot passages from time to time, but on the whole, it makes people's blood boil! And the most important thing is that the extremely exciting fighting actions on the movie screen will make you believe that this kind of master really exists in reality! It is a completely different concept from the countless martial arts movies we have seen before! Therefore, I can't help but think of the rumors that have long been in the circle, it is said that the sect leader is a kung fu master himself...... In short, after watching the premiere, I had the urge to learn kung fu from a teacher!

""Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is so popular, and now, "Huang Feihong" is so popular! If you don't say it, go buy tickets! Believe me, whether you are a fan of the sect leader or not, this movie will not disappoint you!"
――Sohu.com, headline summary report, "From Talk"
"If I want to evaluate this movie, I only have one sentence: This is a good movie worth watching three times! The above words are my own words, not our boss asked me to say them! Although we are always Li Qian's wife, I never shoot the leader's sycophants, you all know! So, they said that if I write a film review, they will give me the front page headline, and this is my film review: This is a good movie worth watching three times! As for why, you can watch it yourself! Over!"
――iFLYTEK homepage, headline, "Movie Review Given: This is a Good Movie Worth Watching Three Times!"
“…… The sect leader uses an extremely close to the real 'kung fu' martial arts method to make us understand at once that martial arts movies can still be made like this! Of course, I agree with the sect leader's statement, "Huang Feihong" is no longer what we call martial arts movies in the traditional sense, it is a 'kung fu movie'...... In addition, please look forward to the special interview "My Name is Aunt Thirteen" that we will launch tomorrow! Yes, friends who have watched the movie must know, tomorrow we will exclusively launch a personal interview with Lu Lingxi, the heroine of the movie "Huang Feihong"!

…………
The concept of kung fu movies has never been new in China.
This is true both on this plane and on another plane.
In the final analysis, isn't it just kung fu plus a movie, or to put it simply, a story that shows kung fu and is related to kung fu into a movie?
As long as the film industry develops to a certain extent, when filmmakers hit a bottleneck in filming the simplest and closest stories around them, it is only a matter of time before kung fu hits the big screen.
Of course, history is full of inevitability, but at the same time it is full of contingencies.
For example, in the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, there was a peerless genius who would still amaze decades later, and his name was Bruce Lee.
And in this plane, there is no such genius.
In another time and space, Bruce Lee's initial creation of the concept of "kung fu movies" has achieved great success all over the world, although it is also the current situation, but more importantly, he does have a peerless kung fu beyond the past, so he has successfully changed from a "kung fu" superstar to a kung fu "superstar"! And in an incomparably wonderful way, the concept of kung fu has been successfully promoted to the world.
After him, there have been masterpieces such as "Shaolin Temple" in China, and Hong Kong has successively born and completely achieved Sammo Hung , Jackie Chan , Jet Li , Donnie Yen and a large number of kung fu superstars who are very different from the martial arts style of Shaw Brothers movies in the sixties and seventies, and even in the Hong Kong film industry in the eighties and nineties, there were quite a number of female stars!
Of course, when the concept of kung fu movies falls into the hands of Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others, they can still become international superstars with kung fu, but their real kung fu is really difficult to achieve absolute persuasiveness like Bruce Lee - you make kung fu movies, but you may not be able to win many masters in real fights, which is itself persuasive, but I don't know how much weaker.
Therefore, Bruce Lee is a kung fu master and a kung fu superstar, his popularity, and his kung fu movies are admired by European and American audiences, but when it comes to the younger generations, kung fu movies have largely degenerated into a theme of movies, and in terms of personal charm, there has been a great, great weakening.
Albeit...... Jet Li is also a real kung fu master, but that's not good.
And when I came to this time and space, there was no Bruce Lee.
Although the concept of "Chinese Kung Fu" has always been quite attractive in Western society, and it was once labeled as "Oriental", "mysterious" and so on, the concept of kung fu movies has always been submerged in the concept of martial arts movies, and no one has seriously thought about exploring the concept of "Chinese Kung Fu" outside the concept of martial arts movies.
And now, Li Qian has become the first person to eat crabs.
Although it's a pity, whether he or Zhou Baoshan doesn't have Bruce Lee's top-notch real kung fu! So at present, it is still doubtful whether this movie can be implemented all over the world, but at least, in China, in a country where I don't know how many martial arts movies have been watched, such a dazzling "new martial arts", such a "kung fu movie", is definitely marketable!
From the second day of the premiere, word-of-mouth exploded unsurprisingly and amazingly.
At the same time, the box office is also exploding all the way!
A "kung fu" shock wave spread out with lightning speed!
