Chapter 252: A New Direction for Kung Fu Movies (Part II)

The original "Shaolin Football" broke the box office record in Xiangjiang in its previous life and injected a boost into the sluggish film market. Unfortunately, the film was not released in the mainland. And this film has also aroused the scolding of many fans.

"The King of Comedy" was scolded, and "Shaolin Football" was scolded, but the reason for the scolding was just different from what they imagined. The style has changed. It's different from the nonsense of the Zhou Xingxing that I am familiar with.

"Shaolin Football" was released, and Zhang Le was scolded by many people!

scolded him, naturally, not because the movie was not good-looking, nor because of his style change, nor because he felt that he was talented.

Zhang Le's film style has always been changeable and has not been characterized. Even the actor Feng Lei was not characterized. He doesn't have a strong self-style like the original protagonist Xingye, and this style is still familiar and loved.

The people who scolded him the most were undoubtedly Liu Mi's fans. Although Liu Mi is in micro. Bo Shang has always supported Zhang Le and defended him. But not eggs!

So far, people who like Liu Mi are more because of her appearance than her acting skills, and she herself has no personality charm. Suddenly, there is a movie in which a familiar and favorite beauty becomes ugly, how can they accept it?

If it were other directors, they might also scold Liu Mi for taking such a role. Isn't she destroying her future? Silly her!

However, the director is Zhang Le, Liu Mi's boss, or a popular star with a lot of topics, who don't scold him? To scold people is to scold celebrities, this is a hint given by countless experts.

The director is Zhang Le, Liu Mi has to take on this kind of role, and if he takes it, he will naturally not destroy his future, and he may even have a bright future. can't scold Liu Mi for not being up to the standard in taking over the play, but the fans who are holding their breath can only take this evil breath out on Zhang Le. Let alone. Nor did he wronged him.

Was Zhang Le wronged? Naturally, it is not wronged. He is the director. Liu Mi's shape, wasn't he created it single-handedly?

However, many filmmakers have a high opinion of this film. In particular, there is no shortage of praise for the special effects and the use of lenses in this film.

The movie was released, and the Integrity World Cup ended. Countless avid fans around the world are still unsatisfied and will pay for this movie.

The film itself is extremely topical, and the topic of Zhang Le's Paris has not diminished. With the combination of the two, you can imagine how hot this movie will be.

However, North America, a region that likes basketball more than football, surprised Zhang Le. It's the same box office hit. In the first week of its release, it topped the list with a box office of 32 million.

It seems that it is not because of football, but because of kung fu. And the reason why it is so popular is because of the appearance of a person, which has triggered a bigger topic.

Li Zhenping. Legends in the world of film have rarely appeared in entertainment news, at most occasionally in sports news. And just such a person went to the theater to watch this movie and was captured by a reporter, and stepped forward to conduct an interview.

Li Zhenping is in his sixties, but he looks only in his fifties, energetic, and has a high reputation in the United States. And the first question the reporter asked him made him cry and laugh.

"Mr. Li Zhenping, please. Is that goalkeeper in "Shaolin Football" your son? ”

"It's not!" The corners of Li Zhenping's mouth twitched and said. "As we all know, my son is now forty years old, and he is of mixed Chinese and American descent."

"Then how did he imagine it to you? Is it your illegitimate child? The reporter continued.

When Li Zhenping heard this, his eyes narrowed, and the reporter instantly felt a tremor in his heart, and he was stared at by a fierce beast. It feels like you're dying at any moment.

"Then what did Mr. Li feel after watching this film? What is your evaluation of Zhang Le, a filmmaker who is also a martial arts practitioner? The reporter then asked, as if he asked the question just now, and his life was not guaranteed.

"A very creative film. It's worth a look. He repackaged kung fu with soccer balls and used a lot of special effects. Maybe it's a new direction for kung fu movies. It has a positive effect on the promotion of Chinese kung fu. Li Zhenping thought for a while and said, "I am very optimistic about Zhang Le, a young man. is not only optimistic about his movies, but also optimistic about his kung fu. ”

After Li Zhenping retired from the entertainment industry, he rarely paid attention to related news. Zhang Le's film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" swept the North American box office and became Oscar-famous, but it also did not attract his attention. The first time I really heard Zhang Le, it was when he fought with Cui Changbai.

The fact that Cui Changbai, the number one master in South Korea, was abolished in the mainland of China still caused quite a stir in the international martial arts community.

This incident made Li Zhenping hear about Zhang Le, and immediately learned about the deeds of this young man and became curious about him. Then, Zhang Le killed the top powerhouse in the mercenary world during the hostage-taking incident in Paris, which surprised him. is even more interested in Zhang Le.

I was so excited that I heard that this film had a scene of paying tribute to myself, so I went to the theater today to watch it out of curiosity, but I didn't want to be discovered by an entertainment reporter who knew me.

Li Zhenping quit the entertainment industry and became a lot more low-key, but he is keen on the promotion of Chinese kung fu and is not exclusive to the media, so he will be interviewed by the media.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he was interviewed by the media and praised Zhang Le so much that it became that he watched this movie and was ready to make a comeback and make a new movie.

The creator of kung fu movies in his sixties, because of a movie, is ready to re-emerge, no one can imagine how fierce this topic is.

Zhang Le already has a high popularity in the United States, and now that the media has hyped up such news, it is naturally more topical. It is self-evident how much this has contributed to the box office of this film.

However, the United States is, after all, a desolate place for football. Relying on kung fu alone, as well as the topics brought by Li Zhenping, it is difficult to last, and "Shaolin Football" did not win the weekly championship like "Mr. and Mrs. Zhang" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". In the second week, it fell straight down and was in third place.

However, this result has made Zhang Le extremely satisfied.

And Europe, a region with the largest number of fans, after the release of this film, it naturally attracted countless fans to watch and get its love.

"Is the Chinese football team really so fierce? I don't have any impression of it! ”

Countless fans watched this film and immediately had such questions. In this regard, many fans deliberately checked the information of the Chinese football team. As a result, they suddenly felt like they were in Australia, with herds of alpacas whizzing past them.

So fierce? What a fart! I didn't even rush out of the group stage a few times, such a team can be fierce! Scum, this word can't be described.

The movie "Shaolin Football" is a hit in the world, and it is in stark contrast to the miserable results of the Chinese football team, which can be described as very ironic.

On the land of China, a new round of complaints about the hatred of the national football team was instantly set off. (To be continued......)

PS: Working overtime and staying up late for several days in a row for four shifts, the update is still very powerful. The monthly pass is naturally satisfying. Today, on the 28th, well, prepare the monthly pass, if it is updated more powerfully, the monthly pass must also be more powerful! At the end of the month, come a sprint!!
