Chapter Eighty-Three: The Year of the Blockbuster

"Come on, don't tease him, or be careful that he gives you little shoes to wear." Julia gave Rupert a blank look, and after a film cooperation, she and this "sister" became good friends. Rupert smiled: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, this time I came here mainly to thank the captain for creating such an interesting character for me." Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but secretly admire this guy's sincerity, not only dared to admit his surname orientation, but also dared to take over such a role, if he wanted to change to other actors, he would have long been far away: "That's also your acting skills, I believe your performance must be very good." ”

Julia said: "You are not wrong about this, Rupert's performance in the film is comparable to that of an Oscar-winning actor." Rupert joked, "Actually, my performances in each of my films are great." Although it was just a joke, Liang Xiaolong thought it was true, this guy was an acting genius, if it weren't for the fact that his surname Ge was too rebellious, he clashed with fans and the media, and later announced his surname orientation, he would have been a first-line superstar in Hollywood.

Shirley also walked over: "It's really unlucky, I'm going to collide with "Black Fist". Paramount will also launch "Mission Impossible" next week, and Liang Xiaolong can only smile bitterly in response: "Shirley, this sentence should be said by me, right?" Your "Professional Secret Service" is a $80 million production, and the production cost of "Black Fist" is only 12 million. Shirley gave him a blank look: "I still remember the situation when "Cops and Thieves" was released, and the three high-quality films not only did not stop it, but allowed "Cops and Thieves" to complete the counter-blocking. ”

Liang Xiaolong said: "Can that be the same?" "Cops and Thieves" had Julia, an Oscar-winning actress, and Rachel and Brandon were also popular at that time, so it is not surprising that the box office was high. "Black Fist" doesn't have big-name stars, and Warner also launched "Tornado" this Monday, which has a super ability to grab the box office, and then we have to watch your two films fight on the box office list. ”

chose this time to be released, Liang Xiaolong was also very helpless, through that ring battle, fans' calls for "Black Fist" were very high, but no matter how high the call was, there would be a day when it disappeared, if the film could not be released as soon as possible, when this craze subsided, the box office would definitely be greatly damaged. At this time, Warner first launched "Tornado", and Paramount is about to launch "Mission Impossible", fans will definitely be keen on these two high-quality films, and after their hot release period, fans' enthusiasm for "Black Fist" will also cool down. That's why Liang Xiaolong chose to release it at this time, and with the help of the popularity accumulated in the early stage, he fought with these two films on the box office list, turning the original two-man hegemony into a three-kingdom rivalry.

However, when he thought of the box office of these two films in his previous life, Liang Xiaolong felt a little empty in his heart, and the global box office of these two films was close to 500 million. It can be said that in 96, Hollywood has come out of the shadow of the lack of good films in 95, and step by step high-quality films have stimulated the competition between major companies, and some small companies may go bankrupt at any time if they invest too much and the quality of the film is not good.

And now the situation of "Black Fist" is very similar to the release of "Police and Thieves", if you can't stand out from the encirclement, you can only be besieged and killed.

"A lot of dogs, a big group of dogs......" Hearing such a muttering sound again, Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Jesse, how many times have you attended the premiere?" How many press conferences have you attended? That tension should have passed. Jessica stuck out her tongue cutely: "I'm used to it." Liang Xiaolong's forehead swelled with black lines: "Can you get used to this?" It seems that filming "Black Fist" has really made you a nervous king. Jessica suddenly blinked cutely: "Captain, why didn't you hide from me today?" No ghost in my heart? ”

Liang Xiaolong's face turned bitter, and he complained: "Jesse, can we not talk about this?" Jessica giggled, "If you don't have a ghost in your heart, are you still afraid of me?" Liang Xiaolong waited for her to look: "Yes, I have a ghost in my heart, do you want to hug it again?" Jessica smiled sweetly, "Okay, Rachel is watching over there." ”

Liang Xiaolong glanced at her and left, but he was very inexplicable in his heart: "Why does this girl keep mentioning this?" You don't really like me, do you? Yes, a little Lori, Uncle Ben is not Loricon. Watching Liang Xiaolong leave, a meaningful smile flashed on Jessica's face: "I'm not pretending to be nervous, can you take the initiative to come and talk to me?" ”

The theater was already full of fans, some of whom were loyal fans of Liang Xiaolong, and as soon as Liang Xiaolong entered the theater, he cheered wildly: "Captain, we must perform one later, we have to watch the performance of Chinese kung fu." Wu Jing smiled bitterly beside him: "Captain, I am the protagonist, why don't you shout for me to perform?" Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Who made you not as handsome as me?" Wu Jing glanced at him: "Compared with the appearance, you can't do it, you can only say that the fans have a problem with their aesthetics." Liang Xiaolong said: "Dude, can I understand that you are jealous of me?" ”

Once everyone is seated and the lights are dimmed, the trailer begins. This time, the trailer editing is also very innovative, showing Gao Gang's stupidity, Anna's reality, and the captain's slamming of the door vividly, especially when the captain appeared on the screen, fans suddenly opened their eyes: "Won't it?" The invincible captain turned out to be a stingy man? Of course, it's not a disappointment, it's a surprise, and the feeling of surprise often hangs their curiosity.

At the end of the trailer, there is another wonderful hip-hop performance, which is still a performance by the Thunderbolt team, but it is not a kung fu hip-hop dance, but a signature hip-hop dance choreographed by the Thunderbolt team itself, young people think it is cool, and middle-aged people think it is crazy, but it is undeniable that this is a very visually striking dance, and it also won warm applause from fans after the performance.

The host slowly came to the stage: "Thank you to the Thunderbolt team for bringing us a wonderful hip-hop dance performance, at the same time, there is also a Thunderbolt team in "Black Fist", and there is also a wonderful performance, now we will interview Wu Jing, one of the members of the Thunderbolt team. Wu Jing walked quickly to the stage: "Hello everyone, I am Wu Jing, playing the protagonist Gao Gang in the film." The host asked, "Wu Jing, what kind of character is Gao Gang?" Wu Jing said: "It should be a kung fu master, he has defeated many masters and achieved a self-breakthrough in the challenge." The host exclaimed, "Isn't it? I heard the captain say, Gao Gang is a stupid boy, captain, don't you say? ”

Liang Xiaolong said: "That's right, Wu Jing and Gao Gang are stupid boys. Wu Jing had a black line, and the host smiled: "It's okay if you don't admit it, but I have evidence for you to admit it, please look at the big screen." The screen lit up, it was the scene of Gao Gang performing the snake fist hip-hop dance, but the editor only edited a small part of it, which happened to be a silly expression, and Wu Jing's lips moved obviously, and then dubbed again: "I'm a silly boy." ”

The host asked loudly, "Is he a stupid boy?" Fans shouted, "Yes." The host asked loudly again: "How stupid?" Fans yelled, "It's stupid. The host smiled: "Yes, there is no stupidest, there is more stupid, let's take a look at what kind of stupid boy Wu Jing played." ”

In the first shot, the black boss came to the door and asked him to fight black boxing, and always replied stupidly: "I don't know how to fight." "I really don't know how to fight" stunned eyes, with a shy smile, Gao Gang is indeed stupid. In the second shot, Gao Gang smiled stupidly: "My mother said, I am a fool and a fool." In the third shot, Gao Gang asked Anna in the hospital why she was so good to him, and Anna said, "Because you're stupid." ”

Shirley asked Liang Xiaolong in a low voice: "The protagonist can't really be a stupid boy, right?" Liang Xiaolong asked rhetorically: "Do you think the stupid boy has no selling point?" Shirley said: "It is true that Americans are a country that lacks heroes, but Americans have a very serious hero complex, and it will be easier for fans to accept a shrewd and capable hero." Liang Xiaolong said: "Erin. Blokovich. Shirley shook her head and said, "Erin is just a special case, she exists in reality, and "Never Compromise" is not an action movie. I think Americans will prefer heroes like Superman and Batman. ”

No matter which country people have a hero complex, but in Liang Xiaolong's impression, Americans have a very heavy taste, and they are saving the earth and saving mankind at every turn, and his hero lies in saving many people. It can't be said that such savior heroism is bad, if the world really has that day, it also needs such people to stand up, but I will always feel tired of seeing too much.

And in this regard, the clash between Chinese culture and American culture is the most obvious, because most of China's heroes have become tragic figures, because of the influence of loyalty, chivalry and other elements, heroes have to die, and death can reflect his greatness, and at most he will become a celebrity if he lives. is like Master Jin's Qiao Feng, after committing suicide, his loyalty to the two countries was immediately vividly displayed.

Therefore, the heroes of Chinese watching American films feel very ridiculous, and the heroes of Americans watching Chinese films feel very silly: "Shirley, believe me, wait a while to start playing the film, you will fall in love with the role of Gao Gang." Shirley said, "I'll give him a maximum of seven points." Liang Xiaolong shook his head confidently, after his adaptation of "Black Fist", the biggest two points are not the kung fu hip-hop dance, nor the wonderful fight, the biggest two points are the stupid boy Gao Gang.

A stupid boy who is not deeply involved in the world shouts to give Anna a future slogan to fight black boxing, who can say anything about him? can only say that he is a man, a pure man, and the most girly people like such a man who has a sense of security and is willing to pay for himself. On the contrary, a man who is shrewd and calculating, and has super charm, although he can also be loved by women, is by no means the ideal marriage partner in the eyes of women. Because of marrying such a man, she will always have to worry about whether her husband will cheat. Moreover, such a silly but very gentlemanly approach can also resonate with men, and they are also willing to use their own efforts to give their beloved a piece of the world.

Of course, if Gao Gang goes all the way to the dark, it can only mean that he is a stupid man, but Liang Xiaolong arranged a reasonable turning point for the story, which was jointly promoted by Anna and the captain.

ps: The plot of "Black Fist" is coming to an end, and a new chapter is about to begin, what movie do you want? Collection, ticket support, tell everyone right away, haha......
