Su Muying finished the morning class and came to find Chen Yuan, and found that the other party was visiting the forum with great interest.

Su Muying was not interested in the online forum, she picked up Chen Yuan and was about to leave.

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, he clicked a few times casually and turned off the computer.

Just now, he threw out three topics successively, and successfully guided the direction of public opinion on the forum. In just one hour, the whole forum has made a big difference. It feels full of life and energy.

The two left the company and came to a nearby restaurant. This is what Su Muying strongly demanded. She only has 3 hours of free time, two of which are spent watching movies, and the rest is not enough time for a big meal.

In the restaurant, Su Muying ordered two dishes, preserved egg tofu and shredded pork with Beijing sauce, which she usually likes to eat. After the dishes were served, the two of them started quickly, and it didn't take long for them to sweep all the two dishes.

Out of the restaurant, the two walked side by side on the side of the road. The autumn wind blows slowly, making people feel the slightest coldness. The warm sunlight shines down, warming and cooling the cold, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Chen Yuan saw that Su Muying's little face was tired, and couldn't help asking, "Have you been feeling tired lately?" ”

"Of course I'm tired," Su Muying nodded his little head and explained, "I now get up at half past five every morning, and I have to solve the problem of washing up and eating breakfast within 30 minutes." Then run from 6 to 7:30 for a workout. I went to school at 7:30 and left at 5:30 in the afternoon. After dinner before 6 p.m., and then until 10 p.m., Mr. Huang would use these 4 hours to explain to me a lot of knowledge and skills about breath, tone, and sound, and practice many times. I couldn't sleep until after 10 o'clock. Monday through Friday. There are more classes on these two days on the weekend, including dress, appearance, body language training, and many other things to learn. ”

"This is the price you have to pay to become a star," Chen Yuan said, "In fact, it is not easy to be a star." Some people may be able to become famous by chance, but without accumulation, that kind of fame will not last long. The real big stars, in addition to their unique qualifications, still lack hard study and training. ”

Su Muying lowered her head and said, "I know, but I regret it a little now." ”

Chen Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at Su Muying unexpectedly. He asked, "Do you regret it?" ”

Su Muying said in a low voice: "I didn't expect it to be like this. It doesn't feel free. I have to study every day, and it's so stressful. If you want to be a big star, do you have to endure such pain? ”

"Is this pain?" Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled. "For a lot of people who want to be famous, this is their ladder to fame!" Makikage, do you think it's hard to study at this level now? Actually, that's not enough! ”

Su Muying raised her head and looked at the other party in surprise.

Chen Yuan continued: "Do you know the trainees in South Korea? For example, babyV.O.X, Crystal Boy, FIN. K.L, G.O.D, HOT, S.E.S, Shinhye, these are all Korean groups that debuted in the first two years. They are all like you and start training at a very young age. Training is usually done from early morning to early morning. Sleep only four hours a day. ”

Su Muying's mouth opened wide, feeling incredible. Sleeping only four hours a day? Is this something that people can do?

"There's a lot of competitive pressure on them. Before the official combination. Generally, there are about 30 candidates, half of whom will be eliminated during the training process, and the rest will be eliminated one after another according to the situation. Until the final debut. Many people also train very hard, but in the end, because they have no chance to debut, they have always been unknown. This is their misfortune. You know, not everyone who makes the effort. You'll get the same chance. Chen Yuan said earnestly.

"But ......" Su Muying opened her mouth, but the words behind her did not come out.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Those trainees are from morning to night. Eat less and less. Their breakfast each day is only half a bowl of multigrain rice, an egg, a little coleslaw and a small glass of yogurt; At noon, the main food is only about 1/4 palm-sized sweet potato, half a bowl of vinegared tomato and cabbage salad, and a small cup of low-fat milk with half a cucumber. Considered an important dinner, there is only a small cup of green tea low-fat milkshake, a chicken breast and vegetable salad, and a minimum of 1L of water on the other day. ”

"Why do they eat so little?" Su Muying wondered.

"The weight standard for Korean trainees is a normal adult female, 168cm, 48KG, and maybe even thinner. Because people on TV will look fatter, they have to be very thin and thin to be on camera. Chen Yuan explained.

It turned out that this was the case, Su Muying was stunned.

Chen Yuan said again: "Mu Ying, you are still young now, and it is the time when your mind is changeable. But dreams are different. A dream is an expectation for the future, a situation that can be achieved but can only be achieved with hard work. A dream is something that makes you feel that perseverance is happiness. ”

Feel that persistence is something of happiness? Su Muying carefully recalled this sentence and gradually understood.

"Makikage, what is your dream?" Chen Yuan asked solemnly.

"My dream is to become a big star," Su Muying muttered to himself with his eyes blurred.

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Then do you think you can stick to your dream?" ”

"I ......" Su Muying bit her lip, wanting to say yes, but she felt that it was difficult to say this word.

Chen Yuan took the other party's hand and said with a smile: "You may be tired, that's why you have this thought." Let's watch a movie and relax. We'll talk about that later, okay? ”

Su Muying nodded, putting this question behind her for the time being.

The two came to Xiangyun Theater, which is the only theater in Qingyun County with two screening halls. There are not many people in the cinema. After Chen Yuan and the others came in, they immediately attracted people's attention.

Chen Yuan and Su Muying have both appeared on TV and in movies. As celebrities from this small place in Qingyun, the two have become the pride of the county. Naturally, everyone knows each other. Some people took the initiative to greet them, while others watched from a distance.

Chen Yuan responded to everyone with a smile and bought two tickets for the 12:50 show of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the ticket office.

Chen Yuan just got the movie ticket. At this moment, a young man and a woman walked in from the door of the movie theater. Chen Yuan has an impression of these two people. He remembered that when he and Su Muying first entered the cinema, he met them.

When Chen Yuan looked at the young man and woman, the other party also saw them.

"Hi," the young woman said awkwardly. She had already recognized Chen Yuan.

I was so impressed at the time. The strange combination of Chen Yuan and Su Muying, as well as their performance before the end of the game, made her remember it vividly. Now, Chen Yuan's deeds have long spread throughout the county. The young woman also knew a little about Chen Yuan. She also admires each other very much in her heart. But whenever she thinks about that incident, she always feels weird.

Chen Yuan smiled and said casually: "What a coincidence, you guys also come to watch the movie?" ”

Su Muying has no impression of these two people. When she saw Chen Yuan greeting the other party, she asked Chen Yuan with her eyes.

Chen Yuan leaned into her ear and whispered, "Do you remember the first time we came here and the two people who sat behind us?" ”

Su Muying listened. The little face turned red all of a sudden. She was embarrassed to death, after all, it wasn't a good thing.

Ten minutes before the film starts, the doors of Screening Hall 1 open. People who have already bought tickets are rushing in.

Chen Yuan and Su Muying were already public figures, and they didn't dare to behave too much in front of people, so they walked side by side and entered the screening hall with the crowd, and there was no excessive action in the middle. The screening room was brightly lit. Chen Yuan and the two came to the two seats of row 8 7 and 8. After sitting down, Chen Yuan realized that the young man and woman were still sitting behind them like they had done the first time.

It didn't take long. A fat man ran in panting with a suitcase.

"Popcorn, drinks, beckoning to the brothers in need!"

The fat man shouted. Immediately after, the eyes lit up. Seven or eight hands were raised. With a joy in his heart, he stepped forward and began to distribute drinks, popcorn, and collect money to find money. Soon. I arrived at Chen Yuan.

"Boss, give me two bottles of Coke and a big bucket of popcorn!"

"Okay. You take it, two bottles of Coke, 5 pieces, a large bucket of popcorn, 3 pieces. Collect 10 yuan for you, find you 2 yuan! ”

The fat man was looking for money, and Su Muying whispered, "Brother Chen Yuan, we still don't want it." ”

……

How familiar is the scene in front of you? A strange feeling suddenly rose in Chen Yuan's heart. But that feeling quickly faded. He said: "It's a rare opportunity to go to the cinema, so just enjoy it." ”

The lights in the screening room went out. The canvas in front suddenly lit up. The film began to be screened.

Chen Yuan took Su Muying's little hand, and the two enjoyed this movie together.

At the beginning of the movie, it is about a generation of heroes Li Mubai (played by Zhou Runfa) who has the intention of withdrawing from the rivers and lakes, and entrusts his confidante Yu Xiulian (played by Yang Ziqiong) to bring his Qingying Sword to the capital as a gift to Baylor for collection. This 400-year-old ancient sword has hurt countless people, and Li Mubai hopes that such a major decision can show his determination to leave the grievances of the rivers and lakes. Who knew that the sword was stolen that night, Yu Xiulian stepped forward to stop and fight with the sword thief, but in the end, the sword thief escaped with the help of his accomplices. Someone saw a masked man disappear into the mansion of Lord Yu, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and Yu Xiulian also thought that Lord Yu could not escape the involvement.

In order not to complicate things, Yu Xiulian has been secretly investigating the whereabouts of the sword, and she also guessed that it was Miss Yufu Yu Jiaolong (played by Zhang Ziyi) who did it in a moment's whim. Yu Xiulian concealed the news from Li Mubai, who came to the capital, and just wanted to use the method of side knocking to force Yu Jiaolong to return the sword to avoid injury and harmony. However, Yu Xiulian's good intentions failed, and when the masked man really returned the sword, he inevitably had a head-to-head confrontation with Li Mubai. And Li Mubai found the traces of the blue-eyed fox that killed the master, and Li Mubai couldn't stop at this time......

In fact, the story is very simple, it tells the story of two women and two men led by a mysterious sword.

The story itself is not new, nor is it very interesting, judging from the soothing camera language, some poignant music, and mysterious characters, it seems to be a very metaphorical and philosophical film, which makes people feel that there may be some big themes such as the cycle of life and death.

But looking at the Qinglong Sword, it is nothing more than revolving around Zhang Ziyi's petty theft, and pulling out her incredible love story on the Gobi Desert. In the end, everyone got a fish to death, and none of them ended well. This bunch of things, this group of people, this kind of ending, it's hard to see any unusual ways.

If it is a melodrama, its drama and the charm of the characters, as well as the internal and external tension of the storyline, are very weak. The narrative of the whole film can almost be said to be very unsmooth. The love story between Zhang Ziyi and the desert bandit named Luo Xiaohu is simply inexplicable in narrative and characterization.

Let's talk about the character of Zhang Ziyi, who falls in love for a while, and turns his face for a while, which makes people feel that this is a person who has no accurate psychology and behavior, what is the cuteness of this kind of character? It can be said that this is a film that is both like foreigners imitating Chinese, and like Chinese imitating foreigners, but also imitates four different films.

Halfway through the film, someone in the screening room began to whisper. Because they were too close, the conversation of the pair of young men and women behind them came into Chen Yuan's ears word for word.

"What kind of martial arts movie is this? It's not interesting at all. It's stuffy. The woman whispered.

"I think it's very good, you see how handsome Zhou Runfa is, and his martial arts are high. It's nice to fight. The man whispered.

"It's not as interesting as Crazy Stone! I shouldn't have promised you if I had known. Tomorrow, the "Tokyo Raiders" will be released. There are Liang Chaowei, Zheng Yijian, Chen Yilin, and Zhang Bozhi! The woman continued to complain.

"Okay, we'll come back to Tokyo Raiders tomorrow." The man said helplessly.

"It doesn't cost money to watch a movie? It costs more than 30 yuan to enter the cinema once, and it costs sixty or seventy twice to enter the cinema, how can your salary afford to spend so much! Let's talk about it later. It's a big deal to buy a disc, it will cost a lot less money......"

The two people in the back whispered to each other, and Su Muying in front couldn't help but yawn. The movie itself is a bit dull, plus she has little rest during this time. So she couldn't help but doze off.

It didn't take long for Su Muying to fall asleep leaning on Chen Yuan's shoulder.

Chen Yuan gently hugged the other party in his arms. He was patient and watched the whole movie with a nostalgic attitude.

The film is coming to an end. What makes Chen Yuan feel incomprehensible is how such a street-hitting work can be favored beyond imagination abroad? -- Many major film festivals have given it countless awards. It miraculously caught fire!

It's a miracle indeed, a jaw-dropping miracle!

From the point of view of objective and practical effects. This is a great thing, at least it has made Chinese films shine well in the Americans, which is also good news. It tells us: Americans like this kind of Chinese movie for a while.

But it's hard to say that this is what Americans really know about Chinese movies, it's hard to say that Americans really understand what Chinese movies, Chinese stories, and Chinese culture are all about, and it can even be said that Americans don't know the chivalrous spirit that runs through Chinese martial arts.

Of course, this dull film work is not without merit. Li An's ability to make such a story with no creativity into such a calm and poetic form and state as it is now really requires some internal strength and soft effort.

Zhou Runfa and Yang Ziqiong's performance has also entered that prescribed state, especially Zhou Runfa has changed his usual chic and presented a melancholy charm; The lens is used very calmly and smoothly, with that kind of eloquent charm; The music is very good, and it always seems to be pouring out something; Several scenes are also filmed with some flavor, such as the scene where Zhou Yanfa and Zhang Ziyi make moves in the bamboo forest, which is really eye-opening!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not yet been released in North America, so many people are unaware of its miraculous performance in the European and American markets. But its performance in the Taiwan market has completely fallen in the eyes of everyone. Many people wonder why such a dull movie would break box office records in Taiwan and create a new box office height?

Although the producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", An Le Film, invested 10 million in publicity, it could not affect people's perception of the film. Most domestic audiences could not accept the film, which led to its poor box office in the mainland. From nearly 80% of the attendance rate on the first day to 60% of the attendance rate on the second day, the big drop in the middle is a bit scary!

This is of course related to the second episode of "I Love to Remember Lyrics", which aired at 10:30 p.m. this Friday, but it also directly shows that there is a problem with this film itself!

Not only the mainland, but even the audience in Hong Kong and Macao did not buy this film.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the mainland, Hong Kong, and Macau, both box office and word-of-mouth failed!

This is a slap in the face to Li An and the people of Anle Film!

Li An had already been mentally prepared, and the situation was better. The people of Anle Film can't bear this kind of blow of ice and fire. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was obviously on fire in Taiwan, how did it get to the mainland, to Xiangjiang and Macau, and it became such a miserable situation?

The facts are already in front of you. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which everyone has high hopes for, is no longer likely to be an obstacle for "Crazy Stone" to continue to dominate the box office. By this time, the three major opponents of "Crazy Stone", Feng Xiaogang's "A Sigh", Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Ma Chucheng's "Tokyo Raiders" have gone to two of them. In the eyes of many people, the overlord of "Crazy Stone" has been achieved, it is unstoppable, and it is bound to go crazy to the end!

But is that really the case? (To be continued.) )
