Chapter 784. The box office was dismal

readx;

Besides, on the big screen at this moment, an unusually fierce shootout begins, which is of course different from ordinary gunfight movies, and belongs to the killer shootout inherent in "League of Assassins". Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOne of the most distinctive shots is "bullets will turn".

This set of shots will be called "a breakthrough in physics for action movies" in the future. ”

The good thing is to give people a strong visual effect, and to say it is to say it badly.

Has anyone ever seen a bullet that can turn? Do you make sci-fi films?!

But all in all, the American audience, who has always been known for their sanity, finally accepted and liked this kind of footage.

Although there is no scientific theory to speak of, it is important to be creative and novel enough.

Of course, as the designer of this set of shots, Chen Xiaotang doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of this drama in his previous life.

In his previous life, the director who filmed this drama may have thought that the set of "bullet turns" he designed was very fun, cool, and interesting, so he used it in the play, so that your bullets would bend, and so would mine, and his would be even more ...... So much so that the originally shocking footage became more and more boring the more you watched it.

The director is reluctant to give up his good design, and wanton abuse will only make this good thing extremely cheap.

Chen Xiaotang knows what it means to "scarce things are precious", and he also knows why only Ling Hu Chong will "Dugu Nine Swords" in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and only Zhang Wuji will "move the world" in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".

When the audience watches the play, what they want is a sense of substitution, that is, they turn themselves into the protagonist and call for wind and rain in it, so this kind of "stunt" can only belong to the male protagonist. It's understandable to hang up with the big devil occasionally, everyone is a master, and there are high tricks to share.

Therefore, this drama is different and brand-new "League of Assassins", which is absolutely "conservative" in this unique work, and after the audience's eyes shine, it will no longer appear, but will cause the audience to wonder infinitely, what will happen next......

In the background of this new era, whether it is a cold weapon or a hot weapon, it seems to be injected with new life in the play. It's hard to watch.

As we all know, Hollywood action movies have always been less exciting than Hong Kong films, and their action scenes are nothing more than a few punches, or a tiger pounce when a car explodes.

In the future, it was not until Li Lianjie, Cheng Long and others went to Hollywood, and by the way, they also brought Hong Kong action design to the past, coupled with the impetus of the great director Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", that Hollywood's action scenes have made great progress.

But now, Hollywood is definitely still a soft egg in terms of action scenes, so Chen Xiaotang's "League of Assassins" can be regarded as letting them see what "action" is. What is called "Kung Fu".

One thing is for sure. These action scenes are extremely captivating and almost tense in the middle of a thrilling fight. There's no denying it. This is an extremely attractive and wonderful commercial film!

Whether it is a commercial film or not, Chen Xiaotang knows it best in his heart! If commercial films can impress the Academy and the Oscars, then Li Lianjie and Cheng Long will not return directly from Hollywood in the future.

At this time, Chen Xiaotang was just engrossed in admiring his performance, and he was sure that this play was perfect. But he hasn't carefully watched his performance......

His personality change, identity change, and performance in the three aspects of family, love and friendship in the play are absolutely remarkable. Looking at the screen constantly struggling with ethics and morality, as well as the life of a killer, and the male protagonist in real life. Chen Xiaotang remembered in his mind that he was confused when he acted in this play, and he still hired a psychiatrist to barely settle the ground.

Gradually, he had a very strange feeling, as if he was eager to change with his personality on the screen! Madonna, who was beside him, had already paid attention to him, and saw Chen Xiaotang's face change. is full of decadence, and it is full of smirks, as if countless personalities are vying for status in him......

When you are deeply worried. Chen Xiaotang's thinking was completely confused, as if countless potential personalities had emerged, and the temptations of performing on the screen had emerged. His head could no longer resist the heaviness and confusion, and he gasped for air......

Suddenly. His hand was grabbed.

It was Madonna who was by his side.

Chen Xiaotang's forehead was covered with sweat.

He looked extremely tired......

Mike, the Heavenly King, who was sitting on his right, also noticed his abnormality and asked, "Chen, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chen Xiaotang felt Madonna's hand tighten, and the heart-wrenching sense of division eased a lot.

"I ...... All right. Chen Xiaotang's throat was a little dry.

Mike looked at him suspiciously, and then said, "I don't think you look good, why don't you go and rest first?" ”

"It's good!" Chen Xiaotang stood up, but found that his back was soaked.

Madonna also stood up and said, "I'm going to go out to breathe, let's go together." ”

"Hmm." Chen Xiaotang nodded.

Seeing the two of them leaving together, Mike said in the back: "When you come back, bring me some popcorn, beer is fine!" ”

In the lounge outside the movie theater, Madonna took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Chen Xiaotang and said, "Drink some water." ”

"Well, thank you!" Chen Xiaotang smiled and nodded.

"You looked horrible just now, what's wrong?" Madonna asked.

Chen Xiaotang drank saliva and exhaled, "It's an old problem, I can't get out of filming before, so I will have this kind of pain." ”

"How so?"

"How could it not, when you integrate into the character and can't tell who you are, that kind of pain is like a blind man groping in the dark, and you can't see the light and hope......"

"What you said is terrible."

"It's not scary, it's a fact." Chen Xiaotang explained, "So I once advised you, don't get too involved in the play, it's just acting, there's no need to be so serious." ”

"Hehe, that's not like what you said."

"Why?"

"Because you are a good actor, how can a good actor teach others not to learn well?"

Chen Xiaotang shrugged, pointed to his pale face and said, "See it, this is the end of a good actor." ”

Madonna looked at him, "Perhaps." It's just that you're too stressed. ”

Chen Xiaotang shook his head, "You don't have to comfort me, it's not psychological pressure, it's one of the signs of schizophrenia." ”

"Schizophrenia? Impossible, right? Madonna was surprised.

Chen Xiaotang took a sip of mineral water steadily, "It's not what I said, but what my psychiatrist said, to be exact, it's not schizophrenia, it's split personality!"

Chen Xiaotang pondered for a moment, "The reason is that I am too involved in acting. This leads to a split personality, which in turn leads to the rise of an underlying personality. ”

After saying this, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but smile bitterly, is this asking for trouble.

The original "League of Assassins" was just a simple commercial film, as long as the wonderful fight scenes were gimmicky enough, it was OK. But Chen Xiaotang was not satisfied, so he had to add artistic elements to this play, and even integrated "Fight Club" into it. Can a person who performs two different personalities by himself not split his personality?!

"Chen, I don't know what to say. But I hope you'll be able to rest well in the future, and you'd better adjust......" Madonna said. He stroked his cheek with his hand.

As if feeling her true feelings, Chen Xiaotang smiled and nodded.

Just as Chen Xiaotang and Madonna were talking, they saw a white waiter with champagne come to them and stammered, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Lafite Chen?" I'm a fan of yours, can you sign me? ”

Chen Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the white waiter, "Okay...... But where's the sign? ”

The waiter was delighted. Excitedly: "Sign here, on the clothes!" He pointed to his snow-white shirt.

"It's not good...... Chen Xiaotang looked at his overalls.

"Oh God, please, just sign it here!" The waiter was inexplicably excited.

Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to take out a signature pen, brush it, and sign his name on the waiter's snow-white shirt.

Seeing that the request for signature was successful. The waiter was about to jump up excitedly, couldn't stop thanking him, and then turned to Madonna and said, "I'm also your fan, can you ......?"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Madonna simply said, "Of course." He took Chen Xiaotang's signature pen. Directly on the white shirt, add your English name.

The waiter didn't expect the queen to be so easy to speak, and spoke incoherently happily, "Thank you, thank you so much, I love you!" ”

Then he ran to his partner to show off. Those waiters originally encouraged him to come forward, but he didn't expect him to really get an autograph, and one by one he regretted and was jealous, and at the moment, regardless of working hours, he was ready to come forward to ask for an autograph.

Chen Xiaotang saw the opportunity, and hurriedly pulled Madonna and said, "I see, let's go back to watch a movie!" "Just run.

The group of waiters in the back couldn't catch up, and they hung their heads one by one.....

Chen Xiaotang and Madonna will go to the movie theater, and when Mike sees them, the first thing he says is, "Where's my popcorn?" ”

Chen Xiaotang shrugged: "It's a pity that I forgot to buy it!" ”

Madonna: "I was almost besieged by fans again. ”

Mike sighed, "Understandable, I'm glad I didn't go out!" ”

At this point, the film is nearing its end.

The actor turned into a hero, upgraded all the way, met people from all walks of life, and presented wonderful fights repeatedly. And the guitar killer played by King Mike is even more handsome from beginning to end to explosion. Madonna didn't use herself as a vase, in addition to showing her original sexiness in the play, she also further challenged her acting skills, such as a crying scene, she cried so much that the audience was saddened.

The special performance of the king and queen of heaven made the audience who was waiting to see their jokes completely lose their temper.

"No, God! When will Mike be acting? ”

"It deserves to be the goddess in my mind, look at it, even crying is so desperate ~ soul!" ……

The audience was almost moved by Mike and Madonna's outstanding acting skills, including some spies from film companies, who originally planned to take the opportunity to coax Mike and Madonna when they were "making a fool of themselves".

But I didn't expect that people didn't even make any mistakes, which made them very depressed, how could they go back.

In the movie, the most intense scene has been staged, Chen Xiaotang, Mike, and Madonna are fully dispatched, with hot weapons and cold weapons firing all arrows.

The whole big screen burst abnormally, and all kinds of exciting pictures filled people's eyes. It can be said that the special effects of this play make the visual impact of the whole play extremely strong, allowing all the audience to enjoy a visual feast from beginning to end.

Hollywood has a long history of special effects. From the beginning of "Ben Hur" to the use of special effects, to the "Star Wars" series began to become more and more perfect, and today, this kind of perfection can no longer meet the needs of the audience, and requires bold innovation and breakthroughs.

As a filmmaker, as an actor, as a screenwriter, and as an investor, Chen Xiaotang deeply understands this, so he will spend a lot of effort to let Industrial Light & Magic help make the computer special effects shots of this play.

From start to finish. There are more than 1,000 special effects shots, and then after modification, supplementation, improvement and other steps, 800 are selected from more than 1,000, and then more than half of the 800 shots are eliminated, 300 are retained, and then through editing and fitting, and finally only more than 100 special effects are retained.

Arguably. Computer special effects is a huge amount of hard work. As Hollywood's leading Industrial Light & Magic, it is by virtue of this hard-working spirit that it has broken through a world among many competitors.

Now that both the crew of "League of Assassins" and the achievements of ILM have been duly rewarded, at the moment when the movie ended, everyone stood up and expressed their excitement with their warmest applause.

Yes, it's definitely a rare good movie!

Wonderful story.

Fierce fights.

Abundant characters.

All of this fascinated the audience.

In the face of this thunderous applause, Chen Xiaotang was of course extremely happy, but in contrast, it was the king Mike and the queen Madonna who were even happier.

"We succeeded. Yes! ”

"Yes, we succeeded!" The two hugged each other happily. In the past, they were just famous in the music industry, but now, they have become real movie stars!

Yes, the bitterness is sweet, and now is the time to reap the fruits.

Looking at the two of them, Chen Xiaotang was also happy for them.

The madness of the audience immediately took over the dominance of the cinema. Especially when countless fans flocked to hug their idols, those originally strong bodyguards had to remind Chen Xiaotang of them, "Boss." I suggest you go back first! ”

Yes, it's time to go, and if you don't go, something may happen.

So Chen Xiaotang, Mike and Madonna fled in a hurry, and shouted behind them, "Rafi, I love you!" "Mike, you're my idol!" "Madonna, Goddess!" ……

The premiere of League of Assassins was so successful that it was covered in great detail by major Hollywood media.

Entertainment Weekly----

"We don't know what words to use to describe this play, if this is a simple commercial movie, there is no doubt that some people look down on it too much, whether it is technical, visual, or storyline, it is an excellent movie, especially as the actor of the male protagonist, Rafi Chen will be the male protagonist's personality changes before and after, and the interpretation is incisive, which makes people think that he is performing in his true colors, one word, good!"

The Times----

"Regarding the play "League of Assassins", I want to talk about the performance of Mike in the play. His performance was a big surprise, it was fantastic! If you haven't watched this play, then please go and watch it as soon as possible, and see how My King plays the guitar killer, his coolness and enthusiasm are presented in the play, and we have no doubt at this moment how bright the future will be as a movie star Mike King! ”

The entertainment section of the French "Libre Times" ----

"The shock that this drama gave us was unexpected, especially the wonderful story content of this play, as well as the wonderful fight scenes, completely subverted our Hollywood action movie model, and it seems that the director who filmed this drama is teaching us...... Action movies, that's how they should be filmed! ”

……

The disturbance of public opinion has made the whole movie the most topical, which can be regarded as helping Chen Xiaotang and them to publicize it for free.

The funny thing is that whether Chen Xiaotang himself, or the king Mike, or the queen Madonna, in these gossip remarks, they have all become historical figures who "set up a new monument to action movies".

Faced with such a situation, other Hollywood blockbusters released at the same time could not sit still.

If this drama is filmed badly enough, it will be fine, but the reputation is very good, which is unbearable. What's more, the starring actors are still Chinese.

As a result, the big Hollywood studios represented by MGM mobilized their own penmen to start pouring cold water and dirty water on "League of Assassins", with a very simple purpose of reducing the advantage of word of mouth, so as not to make this drama angry.

MGM's Entertainment Review ----

"I doubt the aesthetic vision of American audiences, a super bad movie, will be praised and screamed. Let's see, what it's all about, a naΓ―ve killer group on a mission to punish the bad guys on God's behalf. Who knew that in the end, they themselves became villains. There is also a waste wood male protagonist who has turned into an invincible killer, isn't this kind of bridge too bloody?! As for acting, our king Mike and queen Madonna have made some progress, but one can only be handsome, and the other can only be sexy, if this is also acting, then I might as well hit my head to death! ”

Colombia's Weekly Star----

"Who will be the star of the week? Rafi Chan, Mike the King, or Madonna? No, not at all! In terms of popularity, they have indeed been hyped up very loudly recently, but this is only loud. For those of us film critics professionals, popularity does not mean acting, popularity, and it does not mean that he is the star of the week of the week. It may be hard for many people to believe that they say such things, but please understand our position, we just want to find real stars! ”

Universal's "Entertainment Talk" ----

"What makes a good movie? A movie that leads people to goodness and has a conscience is a good movie! Instead of bloody fights, the out-of-tune 'my bullets will turn'! ”

Warner's "Entertainment New World" ----

"There's no reason for a bad movie! If it's just a simple pursuit of visual impact, then we might as well go to watch a color ~ love movie! ”

……

I have to say that everyone is ruining money.

Under such a bad evaluation, the drama "League of Assassins" has shown a trend of declining box office.

For a while, many Hollywood company bosses applauded and celebrated, but Magic Shadow Entertainment was gloomy, and now the question is what to do?!!! (To be continued.)
