At the same time that the crew of "Genius Gunman" rushed to Australia, a much-anticipated epic blockbuster was also released in China - "Red Cliff (I)". Li Xiang especially likes this movie... Xiao Qiao, Sister Zhilin, especially the sentence "Come on, praise cute!" is even more lovely.

But objectively speaking, if Li Xianglai scores "Red Cliff", he can only give 6.5 points at most, and the extra 0.5 points are added to Sister Zhilin, and overall this is a work that has just passed. Although the rhythm of the story is not too tight, the plot has not been changed in a mess, unlike director Li Da's "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" as self-liberating. This movie once again exposes Wu Baige's weaknesses:

One is that the narrative ability is poor, and without the "aesthetics of violence" as a cover to weaken the narrative, Director Wu's movies are almost unbearable. Directing an epic movie, poor narrative ability is very slow-paced, and if it is more serious, you can't even tell the story clearly. This is also the reason why his "Red Cliff" must be divided into upper and lower, and this shortcoming is also reflected in his later filming of "Taiping Wheel".

The second is that John Woo is congenitally weak in scheduling big scenes, he is good at personal "point" shots, and the group portraits are weak, very weak, very weak, and weak. This was also vividly reflected when he filmed "The Wind Whisperer". Big scenes rely on multi-camera, Hollywood has money, MGM is not bad for money, multi-camera is throwing money, it's the same for whoever is the director, anyway, there is nothing to perform, everyone knows what the result is - MGM was stoned to death.

Using Western techniques and then integrating the spirit of the East is what Wu Baige has always advocated. However, Wu Baige has never figured out the context of the oriental spirit, resulting in his movies always embarrassing for the audience, this spirit of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, until the box office fiasco of "Taiping Wheel (II)" seems to have woken up. But the tragic experience of filming blockbusters in the past few years seems to have polished all his aura, and he can't even get his best crime theme, if you don't believe it, you can take a look at the 17-year-old Wu Baige's remake of "Pursuit".

This is an RB movie that was popular in my country in the 80s of the last century, and Du Qiu, an iron-blooded tough guy played by Ken Takakura, has become a classic memory in the minds of a generation. There is a particularly interesting thing, Wu Baige said before the release of the movie, the reason why I remade this "Manhunt" is because I hope to show it to young people who have not watched "Manhunt". This reminder is quite intimate, because if you have watched the old version of "Manhunt", you may be so angry that you vomit blood.

After watching this movie, you will feel that this is a rather incredible movie, the plot is incredible, the characters are incredible, the dialogue is incredible, and the most incredible thing is Director Wu, who has continued to release pigeons for 30 years! That's right, how can you call Wu Baige if you don't release white pigeons? What is the level of Lao Wu, just the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Venice Film Festival is enough to prove it. If you only talk about commercial achievements, Wu Baige is not inferior to Li An at all, or even stronger. But this can't hide his ugly appearance of trying to make money after the failure of "The Wind Whisperer".

did not participate in the premiere of "Red Cliff (I)", which made Li Xiang a little regretful. So after returning to China with Yang Mi for a few days in Australia, Li wanted to hand over the luggage to the second sister, so he and Yang Mi disguised themselves and secretly came to the cinema, ready to watch it again, not for anything else, just for that classic line. If Director Wu knew that this product would watch an epic war movie that he had carefully filmed as a comedy, I don't know how Director Wu would feel.

In the movie theater, the part of Sister Zhilin was being shown on the screen, and the two of them were eating popcorn and discussing in a whisper.

"You said that Sister Zhiling's mouth is not easy to change, it's too unprofessional!" Yang Mi was so rough that Director Wu probably felt that Sister Zhilin's accent was problematic, so when he was in "Red Cliff (II)", he found someone to help Sister Zhilin re-dub.

"I don't allow you to say that about my sister Zhilin, the lines should be said by sauce!" Li Xiang was immediately unhappy, his idol was not allowed to be slandered by others.

"Are you alright?"

"I don't eat yo-yo plums!"

“··· Essence is a disease, and it must be cured!"

"Will you cure?"

"I won't!"

"Do you have medicine?"

"I didn't!"

"And what are you doing here with me?"

"Hey, my temper!" The young lady said that Li Xiang couldn't say anything, so she had to sacrifice the legendary bullet to flash, Li Xiang was honest immediately, hey... It's just not cleaned up.

"Let's go. "The footage that Li wants to see has been watched, and he is ready to slip away.

"Haven't you finished watching this yet?" Yang Mi tried to struggle with the principle of not wasting it, but in fact, she also felt that the movie was not good.

"For me, I've already finished reading, and there will be a lot of people at the end of the show, don't be recognized by then, let's go!" Li Xiang took advantage of the situation to pull up Yang Mi, and the two walked gently, just as they came gently, waved their sleeves, leaving a bucket of uneaten popcorn.

Qi Wei in 08 is still a 'talented man and a woman', and she is not the queen of the TV series in the future. But with the hit song "Bund 18", it began to become popular. At the beginning of July, Qi Wei received an invitation from Optical Fiber to become the singer of the theme song of "Genius Gunman", director Li Xiang's new film. Optical fiber is not very powerful in the film industry, but it is not comparable to Yanda Starlight. After receiving the invitation, the company attached great importance to it, and the director pointed out that only Qi Wei was needed. So when the company notified her, Qi Wei felt flattered, and at the same time her heart was full of expectations.

She has watched all of Li Xiang's movies and likes them very much, who knew that the little brother actually lit up the talent tree for songwriting. But isn't he in a relationship with Xiaohuadan Yang Mi? There are many female singers who can sing, why do you just look for yourself? Will he take a fancy to me? If he makes excessive requests, I won't agree? Director Li looks very good, and he is so young, if something really happens, with Director Li's character, he will definitely not pull X ruthless. I have to say that the young lady has a clear brain, and she thinks quite far. In fact, Li Xiang originally thought of asking her to sing, completely because her voice was closer to the original singing!

In fact, it's no wonder that the young lady wants to be crooked, her agent has been constantly lobbying her along the way: "Director Li is a genius director, if something can happen to him, you will at least have to fight for four to five years, just look at Yang Mi! Singers have no future in our country, making TV series, and further making movies is the real way out!"

It took more than an hour to fly to the capital, and when the young lady stepped into the fiber optic building, she finally saw the person who had been bothering her for a long time!
