Chapter 457: Advice [Second Update]
"Jingwu Hero" should be Li Lianjie's best kung fu film, and it has even been praised by many critics as a textbook for kung fu films.
There are a lot of action scenes in the film, but each competition is not for the sake of fighting, but cleverly echoes the plot, and it can be clearly seen that it is designed to better represent the characters in the movie, which is most prominent in the battle between Li Lianjie and Huo Yanen for the head of Jingwumen.
Huo Tingen's kung fu represents the flashy side of traditional Chinese kung fu, and Chen Zhen is a representative of the new martial arts who learn from others with an open mind.
Later generations have a high evaluation of this movie, on the one hand, because of its wonderful action design, on the other hand, because the idea of the film is no longer confined to the national hatred of foreign powers, but really shows a kind of great power style that China should really have, but unfortunately the box office of the film is a typical flowering inside the wall, although the audience is addicted to the release in Hong Kong, but the box office performance is not satisfactory, but when it was released in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, it was applauded and applauded, and it was very popular. When it was released in Europe and the United States, it set off a kung fu craze, and was praised by Hollywood as "the standard of kung fu aesthetics"!
Chen Jiashang and Li Lianjie now want to make this movie, and Lin Youlun also wants to take a look, "Jingwu Hero" appeared more than 4 years in advance, will there be a more surprising performance at the box office.
——
After a romantic candlelight dinner, Lin Youlun and Li Jiaxin were about to return to the secretly purchased apartment for the night, but when they came to the downstairs of the apartment, they found that there were many reporters around the door.
Lin Youlun glanced out of the car window. The expression looked confused. The existence of this apartment is only known to him and Li Jiaxin. How did this group of journalists find out?
Lin Youlun's driver drove the car into the shadows of the street opposite the apartment building, and after getting out of the car, he pretended to be a passer-by and went over to inquire about the situation.
"Hey, man, what are you doing here?" The driver approached, patted one of the reporters on the shoulder and asked.
"What's the matter with you?" The other man glared at him, and then turned his head again. Craned his neck to look at the door.
The driver then patted him on the shoulder, and the other party turned his head impatiently, and was about to curse, but found that what appeared in front of him was a 100 yuan Hong Kong bill.
"For the sake of your sincerity, I'll tell you." The reporter accepted the money, then beckoned, and motioned for the driver to lean his ear over, "There is a star living in this building, Zhang Weijian, do you know Lu Dao?" It was the one who participated in the TVB Rookie Singing Contest with Zhou Yimin a long time ago and won the runner-up. Later, he and Zhou Comin, Wang Guxian, and Qiu Shuzhen acted in "Kunlun", don't tell me you haven't seen it. The one who played the peanut monk in it is, now that he is famous, he has started acting in some movies, and many people call him 'Little Stephen Chow', today we received news that he asked a few friends to have dinner at home, so he stayed here and waited to shoot his news. ”
After the driver came back, he relayed the reporter's original words, and Lin Youlun and Li Jiaxin knew that this group of reporters was not coming at them.
Lin Youlun had carefully investigated before buying this apartment, and made sure that there were no celebrities living here, and it would not attract the attention of reporters, and the only explanation was that Zhang Weijian moved in after Lin Youlun bought the apartment.
Li Jiaxin doesn't usually live here, and of course it is impossible to know about it.
"What now?" Li Jiaxin asked a little anxiously, if these reporters blocked the door overnight, then her date with Lin Youlun tonight would be in vain.
Lin Youlun patted her hand, "Wait a little longer, if not, I'll go to the hotel." ”
Li Jiaxin blushed and did not speak again.
At this moment, the reporters guarding the door of the apartment building suddenly moved, only to see that in the clicking flash, Zhang Weijian and a few friends walked out together, this group of people should have drunk, and several of them had to be supported to get into the car.
The reporter slapped them violently, and after Zhang Weijian sent his friend away, he immediately walked back with a cold face, without any communication with the reporter throughout the whole process, and refused to answer any questions.
Zhang Weijian's figure quickly disappeared at the door of the building, and the reporters probably felt that there was no point in continuing to stay here, and they were all clean in less than ten minutes.
Lin Youlun asked the driver to go down and walk around again, and made sure that no reporter was left nearby, so he got out of the car with Li Jiaxin and walked into the building quickly.
After entering the house, Lin Youlun asked Li Jiaxin to take a bath first, he made a phone call to go out, and soon the results came back from there, the house here was newly bought by Zhang Weijian a week ago, and today he invited friends to come over to celebrate moving to a new house.
After Lin Youlun answered the phone, Li Jiaxin walked out in a bathrobe. She wiped her wet hair with a towel as she walked to the couch and sat down.
"I'm fine, you go wash it."
Lin Youlun put down the phone and didn't go to change clothes and take a shower, but walked towards the door.
"You're leaving?" Li Jiaxin chased after her, looking very unhappy on her face.
Lin Youlun patted her face, "I'll go out and come back soon." ”
Li Jiaxin was very sensible and didn't ask Lin Youlun what he was doing, only said that he should come back early.
The apartment that Lin Youlun bought was on the 15th floor, and Zhang Weijian lived on the 11th floor.
Lin Youlun rang the doorbell twice, and there was a sound of footsteps in the room, the door was opened a crack, and a head poked out of it.
"I said I wouldn't accept interviews, don't bother me anymore, okay, I'll call the police in this case!" Zhang Weijian didn't even look at who was standing at the door, and after dropping a word, he was about to close the door.
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
This sound a little familiar, Zhang Weijian's movement of closing the door slowed down, and he looked up at the door.
It was this glance that made his originally casual attitude disappear without a trace.
"Mr. Lin, why are you ......" Zhang Weijian was struck by lightning and stood on the spot.
Lin Youlun pursed his lips, "Aren't you going to invite me in and sit?" ”
Zhang Weijian immediately opened the door, "How come, Mr. Lin, please come in!" ”
Lin Youlun walked inside, while looking at Zhang Weijian's home, all the furnishings in it are new, and the decoration is also very high-grade, it seems that Zhang Weijian's life is indeed very nourishing during this time, and he has long since lost the hard work when he sang in the bar.
Since playing the role of Peanut in "Kunlun", Zhang Weijian has gradually become well-known to the audience, and his career has begun to show the dawn.
After "Kunlun", Wireless immediately arranged a TV series for Zhang Weijian, which originally had two male protagonists, but Zhang Weijian stood out from it with his funny means and began to get the attention of Wireless.
By chance, Zhang Weijian got the opportunity to make a cameo in a movie, but because of this cameo, the director found that he was very close to Zhou Xingchi in terms of image and performance style.
After the rise of Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy, there were countless followers for a while, and Zhou Xingchi's salary was very high, and those small and medium-sized film companies couldn't invite him to be the starring actor at all, so they had to retreat to the next best thing and look for actors who could replace Zhou Xingchi.
It was at this time that Zhang Weijian walked into the sight of many people.
Some film companies tried to find Zhang Weijian to make a movie, completely imitating Zhou Xingchi's style to shoot, but I didn't expect that after the filming, the audience responded enthusiastically, although it was not as powerful as Zhou Xingchi, but it was enough to make those small and medium-sized film companies that couldn't afford to hire Zhou Xingchi to make a movie ecstatic.
Zhang Weijian's salary is only one-tenth of Zhou Xingchi's, and then there is a certain box office guarantee, isn't such an actor exactly what they need?
For a time, Zhang Weijian became the object of competition for many film studios, and some media even named him "Zhou Xingchi's successor", last year alone, Zhang Weijian starred in 10 movies, and there were record companies to find him and help him release his first solo album.
It can be said that Zhang Weijian at this time is in the most prosperous stage of his career, and his heart is also a little inflated, but it depends on who he is right for.
In front of Lin Youlun, Zhang Weijian knew very well what his identity was, so after inviting Lin Youlun to sit down in the living room, he stood aside.
"I have a friend who also lives in this building, and I came to look for her, and then I heard that you live here too, so I came over to have a look...... Why are you still standing, sit down. ”
Lin Youlun spoke, and Zhang Weijian sat down, but he only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, and he sat up straight.
"You have developed quite well in the film industry during this time, I have heard of it, but I am not here today to praise you, but for the sake of acquaintance, I can't help but remind you."
Zhang Weijian chuckled in his heart, but he couldn't understand what he had done wrong.
"I know you want to make more money, but have you ever wondered if you've gained anything after making so many movies? You take on too many dramas like this, and the exposure rate is so frequent, which is definitely not a good thing in my opinion. When Zhou Xingchi first became famous, he was very similar to you for a while, and later the media called him the king of bad movies, and he slowly found his position after a period of painful adjustment. ”
Zhang Weijian sat there silently, thinking seriously about what Lin Youlun said to him.
"Although you are very popular now, you are shooting some boring funny films, and the audience will not cheer again after they get tired of watching it, what will you do then? If I were you, I should have taken advantage of the fact that there are still many people looking for you to make films, be a little more demanding of the script, and try to act in some other types of movies, otherwise you will never improve. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can continue like this, you will be willing to be a cheap substitute for Zhou Xingchi for the rest of your life, and you can shoot ten dramas before you can afford to shoot one? ”
