The Chinese New Year is approaching, and there is an endless stream of people who come out to play or buy New Year's goods, and the streets of Taipei are particularly lively.

Prices have skyrocketed for a year, so that everyone has put their money in the bank after rushing to store a large number of daily necessities, just waiting for the price to go down. Now that prices have been falling for a month in a row, and it is the Chinese New Year, which is a good time to buy things.

This shows the difference between Chinese and Americans. The oil crisis that has just broken out has caused the American people's property to shrink continuously, and when they wake up, there are only 80 of the 100 yuan in the bank left. As a result, the Americans, who don't have a strong concept of savings, began to go crazy with huā money, and then borrowed, as if they could buy something for 100 yuan tomorrow for 80 yuan today, and it seemed that they had taken advantage of it. As a result, the consumption of a pen that could be borrowed in later generations was formed after the first oil crisis.

Americans spend in advance, while Chinese keep saving money until they think it's time to huā.

For example, watching movies during the Chinese New Year, how worthwhile Huā is

"Hit, hit, I hit a TV"

Wang Zijun and Hu Jinquan came to a theater in West Mén Town, and before they entered, they heard someone shouting, followed by envious words from the people next to them.

"Good luck"

"Yes, there are really awards, this movie is worth watching."

"Quick, I want five tickets."

"Don't crowd, don't crowd, everyone, our cinema will show three performances of "Unparalleled in the World" and two shows of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" a day from tomorrow until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, as well as a variety of other good-looking Hong Kong, European and American films, tickets will be sold from five o'clock in the morning, and they will be officially screened at eight o'clock."

Hu Jinquan looked at this spectacular queuing scene in amazement, and sighed: "This is a money grab." ”

Hu Jinquan also robbed money, and when his "Dragon Mén Inn" came out, it was also empty, but unfortunately the good times are no longer there.

Turning his head to look at Wang Zijun, he saw that this young man who had set off a gust of wind at the Taiwan Film Festival was looking at the ticket buying queue in front of him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wang Zijun put on his sunglasses and suddenly smiled and said, "Please." ”

"Please." Hu Jinquan said and got out of the car.

Wang Zijun greeted Li Jinghao in the car and said, "Give you two weeks off and take your wife to play casually." ”

"Got it." Li Jinghao nodded and said that his wife Zhang Enxiu took a break in Taipei for a while, and then joined Wang's Film Company and became one of the financial personnel. Due to their work, the two don't spend much time together.

As the crowd of moviegoers crowded into the film festival, Wang Zijun observed and found that many couples came together, and some families went out, and these audiences came to the festival more than to watch movies.

Of course, there are also people who come purely to see the movie.

The few people who walked in front of Wang Zijun were obviously students, and one of the boys said: "Ah Yang, what do you say "Unparalleled in the World" looks like? Will it be better than "Meteor Butterfly Sword"? ”

"It's stupid to death, is there anything bad about the movie directed and starring Wang Zijun?"

Several other people echoed: "That is, Wang Zijun's product must be a jīng product." ”

"I heard that Lin Qingxia was still sick while making movies, and she insisted on filming with a high fever of 50 degrees."

"Your dad is still a doctor, he can have a high fever of 50 degrees, and he took you."

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, it should be 45 degrees. Anyway, in the future, as long as it is a movie of Lin Qingxia and Wang Zijun, I will watch one of them. ”

"I still need to say that Wang Zijun is the most powerful director of Chinese films."

"What about Li Xing, I also watched every one of Li Xing's plays."

"Can Li Xing compare with Wang Zijun? How many Golden Horse Awards did he win this time? ”

"This ......"

Hu Jinquan smiled at Wang Zijun when he heard this, this is the power of fans, I think he Hu Jinquan also had countless fans back then, but unfortunately they were all snatched away by Bruce Lee.

Wang Zijun and Hu Jinquan found a place to sit down, and now that the government has reduced the tax on films, and increased the investigation and punishment, the behavior of "running tickets" in movie theaters has been decreasing day by day. Unlike at the beginning, Wang Zijun bought a ticket and came in, but he didn't know where his seat was?

Before the movie started, Hu Jinquan was observing the audience's demeanor and expressions from the perspective of a director, while Wang Zijun's thoughts drifted to the United States.

Since Bruce Lee wants to cooperate with him to open a film company in the United States, he has to shoot something seriously.

Bruce Lee is now a popular idol in the United States, so he can naturally continue to make his kung fu movies, and he doesn't have to worry about the box office at all. ,

But a company can't always make kung fu movies, otherwise when the audience gets tired of watching it, then wait for it to go out of business.

What's more, the next few years will be the time for the rise and development of film special effects technology, and you can just use the film companies in the United States to win one or two special effects companies, or simply set them up with your own money.

Then let's just make a film that requires computer stunts.

Jaws or Star Wars?

It's not good, the release time is so close, maybe people have already started planning, or even filming.

So let's just take a longer time, "Titanic" is still forgotten, and the current special effects technology is not very good. Thinking of "Titanic", Wang Zijun turned to think of another classic romance film that also needs computer special effects.

That's it - "The Love of People and Ghosts".

The logo of Wang's company has begun to be displayed on the screen, followed by a long cast list, and the names of the stars that come out one by one make the audience look forward to it even more.

Palaces, dead trees, heavy snow.

A group of heavily armed brocade guards, a group of little eunuchs sweeping the floor.

Emperor Zhengde, played by Liu Dan, and the eldest princess, played by Lin Qingxia, are looking at the map and plotting how to escape from the palace.

"Look, Lin Qingxia looks so handsome."

"It's, haha, are all those people in the palace fools? actually let the princess swagger away. ”

Until Wang Zijun appeared on the stage, the fierce makeup immediately shocked many people, and then a series of current lines made many viewers smile.

In the reeds, Wang Zijun was bored, so he fought with a group of rangers, ready to fight with another gang of horse bandits.

"We must win this battle."

"Kill"

"Brothers, rush"

After setting off the atmosphere for a long time, just as the audience was waiting to watch a hearty fight, the next shot suddenly stopped.

"You little minions, armed and ......fighting in public," a fat man dressed in a fake Taipei police uniform reprimanded him, while two groups of people were squatting on the ground.

There was a burst of laughter in the theater, it was too funny, although the current audience didn't know what a spoof was, but they just thought that a large group of people were wearing ancient costumes, but they were talking about some modern dialogue, which was very interesting and funny.

The head catcher continued: "According to the Da Ming Law, more than three people are illegal assemblies, and each person cannot carry more than a kilogram of weapons. ”

Wang Zijun said: "My lord, I have this short knife for manicure, which weighs only ten taels. ”

"Ten taels? Search him"

Wang Zijun stood there, and the catchers came over, and one item after another was found from Wang Zijun's body—wolf teeth, meteor hammers, big knives, leather balls, pipa......

"What is the director doing? How can a person have so many things on him without any packages on him? Not realistic at all. ”

"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death, the director is so talented."

When Wang Zijun heard these two diametrically opposed reactions, he couldn't help but be slightly worried, worried that the current audience would not be able to accept this kind of spoof.

The people who can't accept the nonsensical spoofs are all older people, and the ones who like to watch them are almost all young people.

The following primitive manual scanning equipment, as well as the picture of Wang Zijun picking his nose in the gallop of a horse, made many people laugh.

Li Yilong, played by Wang Zijun, returned to his hometown, and as soon as he appeared, thousands of people were empty, not to watch, but to flee back to his home, and even a little doll a few years old was scared away.

This......

The current audience has never seen such a protagonist, so angry and funny, some people don't know which side to start with if they want to complain.

"Liu Jiachang, Liu Jiachang has appeared"

"Wow, Liu Jiachang's Zuo Lengchan is so shocking, he must be the last villain."

But a minute later, the people who originally thought that Liu Jiachang was the villain were completely shocked and speechless. I saw Wang Zijun and Lin Fengjiao use hooligan brawls to directly flatten them wildly, and they played a psychological shadow.

In a certain theater, Xue Zhengkai, a film critic from "Impact" magazine who was drinking a drink and eating popcorn huā, squirted out a mouthful of liquid.

"mother" The man who was sprayed by the drink blurted out in front of him, and the hapless film critic kept apologizing before giving up.

Xue Zhengkai muttered to himself: "Subversive, too subversive, how can there be such a weird movie"

In the back, whether it is Ke Shouliang, Zhao Yazhi, or Liu Dan, none of them are normal. People who like it laugh so much that tears come out, and Wang Zijun can even hear someone laughing and can't stand smashing the armrest of the seat. And people who don't like it have been scolding this as a garbage film, saying that they have come in with unjust money. ,

Wang Zijun doesn't care, anyway, the publicity offensive is enough, and the box office will definitely be fine. As long as it is not one-sided and unacceptable, then this movie is a success, not to mention that his film is just to test the waters.

There is controversy before there is a topic, and the more fierce the court, the more people will come in to watch the movie.

And the most distressing thing is those film critics, most people are confused by Wang Zijun's nonsensical style, and they are worried about how to write film reviews.

Outside the movie theater, an audience member who had just finished watching the movie was pulled and asked: "How is it, is "Unparalleled in the World" good? What are you talking about? ”

"Good-looking, too good-looking, Wang Zijun is too talented."

"It's a good fart, it's pure neurotic nonsense, and only sick people like to watch it."

"Hey, who do you say is sick?"

"Just say what's wrong with you? If you are not sick, how can you like this kind of bad movie? ”

"You're so bad you can't even read a movie. This is called post-modernity, when I was studying in Europe, there was also art that had just emerged, what do you know? ”

"You dare to sarcastically mock me"

"I'm telling the truth, I don't know"

"Lao Tzu ** you"

"Help, kill"

“……”

People who hadn't seen the movie looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out what the two were talking about, but they were getting more and more curious in their hearts, and they wanted to go in and see what was going on.
