571 "Mythology" North American Premiere (3)

Seattle, Washington, USA, is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, and Concord has a medium-sized theater in Seattle, and the owner behind the theater is Bruce Lee's widow Linda. Emory. [Full text reading]

Since the death of her husband Bruce Lee, Linda has lived in seclusion in Seattle, living with her daughter Li Xiangning every day, and all the sources of life except for Concord are this medium-sized theater.

Linda is content with her current life, and whenever Concorde releases a new movie, she takes her daughter to the theater to see the premiere, which is one of the few joys in life for her. Since last year, her son Li Guohao has returned to her side, and the family has finally been reunited, and life is comfortable.

At this time, the 800-seat theater was full of seats, because the citizens of Seattle have developed a good habit over the years, and they, like Linda, are loyal fans of Concorde and can enjoy not only Hollywood movies, but also Chinese kung fu movies that they are passionate about.

"Myth" is now being shown in theaters, and like the Chinese theater audience on Hollywood's Cotai Strip, Seattle audiences are whispering their frustration with Mr. Wang.

Since watching Hong Kong movies directed or starring Wang Xiaohu, they have never been hung up like today, the plot of adventure and treasure hunting in "Mythology" makes them frightened, and the scenes of the ancient battlefield make them tremble.

The rich oriental color, the clear and high-quality picture, the lifelike arrow array that makes people breathless, the beautiful princess who knows some Chinese kung fu, and the brave knight, these things make the audience feel unprecedented freshness.

But when the audience saw the cool, the picture jumped back and forth, and they really wanted to see Tiger on the screen. Wang shouted accusations: "Hey, can you tell the story well?" ”

Some people also feel very interesting about this same scene transition, because the plot has developed so far, their appetite has been hung by Wang Xiaohu, and they are becoming more and more interested in this movie.

Linda also watched with relish, but she suddenly noticed that her son was muttering something in a low voice, and asked curiously, "Brandon, what are you talking about?" ”

"I'm complaining that Daddy Tiger is too good at trickery." Li Guohao has now grown into a big child, with a head and feet of 1.75 meters, although his body is not very strong, but his muscles contain terrible explosive power.

"Tricky?" Linda blinked in tears.

Li Guohao nodded matter-of-fact and said: "He made the audience miserable, I have read this script, it is divided into two large segments, the ancient part, the current adventure part, and now Daddy Tiger has dismantled the plot and re-edited it, which makes people want to stop." ”

This is exactly where Wang Xiaohu is clever, using the constant memories of archaeological team member Tiger to promote the pace of exploration, when the expedition enters the ** stage, all the mysteries are solved, and the synchronous progress of ancient and modern scenes always leads the audience's nose, making them love and hate.

"That only shows that Tiger's storytelling has improved again." Linda smiled and said, "You can't complain about Tiger like this in the future." ”

"I know." Li Guohao said: "I am implicitly praising him. ”

"Huh." Linda shook her head helplessly, she was worried about her son's education in Hong Kong, but since Li Guohao returned to her side, she found that she was worried in vain, and now her son has gradually had the demeanor of her husband.

"Mommy, why can't I read it?" Li Xiangning said depressedly: "I only know that Angel's mother is very beautiful, and her two scimitars are very powerful. ”

"Shannon, I'm very responsible to tell you, Mother Angel is not only very good at scimitar, but also very good at her Wing Chun!" Li Guohao said with a smile: "I once secretly saw her and Daddy Tiger fighting with Wing Chun, hehe, Daddy Tiger almost couldn't parry." ”

"Kids, that's not what you should be talking about, your job now is to watch movies." Linda felt that her head was a little swollen, because what her son said just now had obvious signs of precocious puberty, you must know that Tiger has already been seventy percent powerful in her husband, how can she not be Angel's opponent, the only possibility is that the two are flirting and scolding, and they happened to be bumped into by their son

From Los Angeles to Seattle, from Chicago to Philadelphia, there are 923 screens of various sizes being shown throughout the United States.

First of all, they fell in love with this movie, the ancient pictures were very exquisite, and they suddenly discovered that the ancient country of the distant East could have such a beautiful place, and that yellow, orange and orange desert gave them a feeling of the American West.

And General Meng Yi, who was wearing black armor and riding a black war horse, was like the embodiment of the cowboy of the American West in their eyes, and the long sword in his hand was light and dexterous, revealing terrifying lethality, cutting every enemy who tried to hurt the princess under the sword, full of personal heroism, and they liked this tune.

Following the pace of the archaeological team, they saw the mysterious Qin Dynasty king's tomb hidden killing machine, and the ancient powerful Qin crossbow was the same, and the secret crossbow mechanism in the underground palace made people's hearts accelerate.

The dark tone, the mysterious atmosphere, and the music that makes people nervous, all show that the movie "Myth" brings them a feeling that they have never felt before.

But they hated the movie again! To be precise, he hates the Oriental director to death, and every time it is a fatal moment, he changes the scene.

Just like now, they passed through the trap area of the dark crossbow, and came to a damp wall, and another archaeological team member touched the terrible trap, and suddenly countless fine sand emerged around the secret passage, and the speed of fine sand filling was very fast, in this tense moment, Tiger's eyes were full of golden yellow, this golden yellow slowly expanded, and it turned into an endless desert, in the desert, General Meng Yi helped the princess is moving forward with difficulty.

For a long time, maybe ten minutes, maybe twenty minutes, the picture did not return to the expedition, and the knight and princess on the screen trekked from the desert to the oasis, bought two horses from the oasis, and they went on, from summer to winter, and from winter to spring.

Along the way, all kinds of dangers continued to occur, there were the pursuit of the Xiongnu troops, the assassination of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and the feelings between the two also quietly changed during the trip, and this feeling finally broke out at the foot of the Great Wall!

More than a dozen soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, it should be said that Qin Shi Huang was opposed, they were ordered to rob and kill Meng Yi and the princess, and during the battle, the princess's double moon scimitar was knocked out and captured.

"Lay down your weapons or I'll kill her!" The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were a little nervous, he put the knife on the princess's neck and shouted loudly to Meng Yi.

"General Meng, don't let it go, if the two of us can only live one, I hope that person is you!" The princess said with tears in his eyes.

The picture focused on the princess's relieved smile at that moment, as well as Meng Yi's nervous and worried eyes, almost without any thought, Meng Yi put down the long sword in his hand.

In just one shot, the audience in the Chinese Grand Theater applauded, which somewhat surprised Wang Xiaohu.

"Meng Yi's approach is very correct, I believe that even if it is me, I will lay down my arms!" Boxing champion Ali's words relieved Wang Xiaohu, it seems that Americans also have a plot of heroes saving the United States, and there is no language and ideological barrier in this kind of plot.

Meng Yi was stabbed by the soldiers, and then he suddenly pulled out the long sword on the enemy's waist, turned around and macheted the soldier who was going to blackmail the princess, the long sword cut off the enemy's head, and it was able to stop in front of the princess.

Unconsciously, they have cherished the fate of the protagonist in the film, and they have a feeling of sharing weal and woe.

The next picture is the two standing on the Great Wall, Wang Xiaohu put a lot of effort into dealing with this plot, and even called the military helicopter for aerial photography, and now what is shown in the eyes of American audiences is the winding and rugged and majestic Great Wall, not a simple scene in the original "Myth".

If the Gobi and desert represent the characteristics of western China, then the Great Wall is the most widely known cultural representative of China, and Wang Xiaohu certainly wants to photograph the majestic spirit of the Great Wall and let the Yankees see this world wonder created by the Chinese two thousand years ago.

Sure enough, the American audience was shocked, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to travel to China, and their understanding of China is also one-sided, it is the product of the processing of the American political axe, take the Great Wall as an example, the Americans did not directly pull it out of Chinese history, but explained the purpose of the Great Wall through their own introduction.

In the general perception of Americans, the Great Wall is defined as a weapon used by ancient Chinese emperors to invade their surnames, and many Americans even imagine the Great Wall as a very large monster, which is a very ridiculous thing.

After the oral narration of General Meng Yi in "Mythology", these self-righteous Yankees finally understood that the Great Wall was made of stones, and it was not a terrible giant monster, nor was it a tool for aggression, a barrier against enemies outside the border, and a weapon for defense.

After learning the true meaning of the Great Wall, the audience was amazed, they were shocked by the wisdom and production capacity of the ancient Chinese, and developed a strong interest in this country rich in profound cultural heritage, if they did not watch "Myth" today, I am afraid they would still think that China is dirty, backward and poor
