Although at the beginning, Menjie became the emperor by 'killing his brother and usurping the throne', but a domineering man who has the power to match it is really very attractive!

Li Shimin can still become the object of countless people's pursuit, but the emperor played by Menjie can't do anything? !

Compared with Wu Yanzu's 'instigation of a whole movie', during most of the time of the movie "Night Banquet", Menjie was in an absolutely strong position, dominating the operation of the entire world and the development of the entire film.

Whether it is Wu Yanzu's fate, bumpy experience, or the identity of Queen Wan'er played by Zhang Ziyi, it is all arranged by Menjie!

Even another woman who is comparable to Menjie, Queen Wan'er played by Zhang Ziyi, is actually only able to make some small moves in the shadow of Menjie most of the time!

And in the end, although it was said that it ended with 'Menjie was poisoned to death and Zhang Ziyi successfully ascended to the throne', when Menjie drank the cup of poisoned wine in the back, it also fully showed that Menjie at that time knew very well that the wine that Zhang Ziyi handed to him was poisonous.

The reason why he drank this glass of wine can only mean that Menjie cares more about the relationship between the two, rather than the power that he was once extremely keen on!

This point looks somewhat similar to the roles played by Wu Yanzu and Zhou Xun, but it is very different.

They are pursuing their almost stupid dreams without any strength, and the emperor played by Menjie has extraordinary power but does not use it.

Such an arrogant and wanton appearance really captured the hearts of countless audiences.

With the successful conclusion of the movie "Night Banquet", if there are 100 people, after watching the movie "Night Banquet". If you like the actors in it, then at least more than half of them like Menjie, because the image of the emperor played by Menjie is too domineering, and he is definitely the real domineering emperor that countless people fantasize about!

And the rest of the people, about one percent of the people, fell in love with her because of Zhou Xun's infatuation, and about one percent of the same people fell in love with him because of Wu Yanzu's blood.

As for Zhang Ziyi, who plays Queen Wan'er, there are about thirty percent of the people. I fell in love with her because of her ruthless methods and excellent performances.

It's like Wu Zetian, many people spit on her, but there are countless people who like this woman who uses power to the extreme and uses it as an idol.

And eventually. If you exclude the production company and director Feng Xiaogang, the whole movie "Night Banquet" has benefited the most. It should be a doorman between good and evil!

And eventually. In that 'palace night banquet', Yi Menjie, Zhou Xun, Wu Yanzu, Huang Xiaoming and others died one after another, and only Zhang Ziyi became the biggest winner, and many viewers at the scene nodded slightly, only to feel that the movie had come to an end.

But......

In the final scene of the movie "Night Banquet", suddenly from the position of the shadow in the corner. A sleeve arrow burst out, and quickly shot towards Zhang Ziyi, who had just succeeded in becoming the empress of the empire, and instantly killed her, after dying on the spot. The audience was messy.

What kind of rhythm is this?!

All the main actors of the whole movie, all dead?!

Feng Xiaogang is going against the sky!

Originally, most of the audience thought that with Zhang Ziyi's death, the movie "Night Banquet" was not completely over, and they would explain the direction of this sleeve arrow later, and many people felt that the assassination of Zhang Ziyi might be the role that they and others had inadvertently missed before in the movie "Night Banquet", but ......

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, the movie "Night Banquet" had already ended, and after the list of cast and crew was listed, the lights on the scene suddenly turned on, and everyone knew it......

The movie "Night Banquet" is really over!

In an instant, the scene was in an uproar, and everyone was fiercely discussing the truth about the finale of the movie "Night Banquet".

Some people think that it was Wu Yanzu who escaped in the 'palace night banquet' who finally assassinated Zhang Ziyi.

Some people feel that they have missed some 'foreshadowing' characters that they and others have not paid attention to before.

Some people think that it will be arranged by Menjie before, and after he takes the poisoned wine and dies, someone will assassinate Zhang Ziyi, the purpose may be to let the two reunite again in the underworld, or they may not want the entire country to fall into the hands of a woman.

There are even people who think the same as Menjie, who thinks that the ending designed by Feng Xiaogang just wants to express the moral of 'the greedy heart will never stop', rather than specifically referring to a certain ending.

However, just as everyone was discussing their thoughts fiercely, Zhang Yimou, who was sitting at the front, involuntarily flashed a strange smile on his face and said softly.

"Feng Xiaogang, what a big ambition!"

As Feng Xiaogang's old rival and friend for many years, at least in terms of his work, Zhang Yimou can be said to be one of the people who knows him best!

Indeed, what everyone at the scene imagined could be the real ending of the movie "Night Banquet", no matter which person was ruthless and killed Zhang Ziyi, or no one did it at all, but Feng Xiaogang wanted to express a certain connotation, it was possible.

But Feng Xiaogang's initial idea was ......

It's not limited to these specific ideas at all!

There is a very, very famous sentence about the novel "Hamlet", and there are even many people who know this sentence than those who have read this novel-

For a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets.

And the movie "Night Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang is an adaptation of the novel "Hamlet", and the reason why such a suspenseful ending was finally made is precisely because he wanted to make one.

For a thousand audiences, there are a thousand ideas for "Night Banquet".

In general, Feng Xiaogang's picture is very big, if the movie "Night Banquet" becomes the most popular movie in China in 2006, and the box office reaches a considerable height, I am afraid that it will really make Feng Xiaogang happy, creating a classic existence of the movie "Night Banquet"!

But alas......

Feng Xiaogang's idea is obviously a little taken for granted, not to mention anything else, just the box office of Zhang Yimou's new film "The City Full of Golden Armor" has a considerable chance of surpassing the movie "Night Banquet", Feng Xiaogang's expectations are impossible to achieve in the end!

However, even if it can't become a 'classic classic', the results of the movie "Night Banquet" will not be too bad, and it can definitely be regarded as one of the classic Chinese movies in 2006!

"The box office performance of this movie, more than 100 million should not be a problem, and the final result should be around 150 million!"

In the end, recalling the specific level of the previous movie "Night Banquet", and then related to the publicity of the movie, as well as Zhang Yimou's years of directing experience, he still made a more pertinent evaluation.

Such a statistic is exactly the same as Menjie's original idea!

In director Feng Xiaogang's room before, several key members of the crew made an estimate of the box office performance of the movie "Night Banquet", and the specific number fluctuated greatly, and the number guessed by Menjie was the number of 'more than 140 million'.

As for the others, Wu Yanzu and Huang Xiaoming's speculation is very conservative, Wu Yanzu just gave a more general concept of 'more than 100 million', and Huang Xiaoming is not very many, only said a 'more than 120 million' number.

In addition, the closest to Menjie's guess is director Feng Xiaogang, and the specific number of guesses is only 10 million higher than Menjie, which is a specific box office of 150 million.

And after that, it may be because several more conservative, or more likely figures, have been guessed by Menjie and others, Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi guessed the numbers are more outrageous, Zhou Xun guessed the box office of 180 million, and Zhang Ziyi directly guessed a box office of 200 million.

This is why when everyone speculated about the box office of the movie, they did not give any punishment or reward, otherwise I am afraid that Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi will inevitably lose a lot!

Of course, in fact, Menjie is not sure of victory!

The final box office of the original movie "Night Banquet" is indeed about 140 million, and the original version and the current version of the movie "Night Banquet" have no changes in terms of cast and plot, except for the variable of Menjie.

But......

The mere existence of the variable 'Menjie' is enough to become a factor that affects the final box office!

Originally, Menjie did also appear in many film and television works, except for the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", where all the actors were replaced, other film and television works did not have much impact on the final results because of Menjie's participation, but there were certain factors.

The main reason is actually very simple, that is, because the roles played by Menjie in those film and television works are only supporting roles, not male protagonists!

You must know that the specific box office of a movie has a lot to do with not only its excellence, but also the main creators of the movie!

For example, the heroes and heroines of Zhang Yimou's new drama "The City is Full of Golden Armor" are Zhou Yunfa and Gong Li, respectively, if they are replaced by two stars whose acting skills and temperament are not inferior to the two, the final box office will also be greatly hit, after all, the results of a film and television work are largely related to its lineup.

Otherwise, the significance of the existence of stars will not be so big.

And this reason is what Menjie cares about the most! (To be continued......)
