Many reviews criticized Stephen Zhao's screenplay "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" for being too spoof and too far from the original book. But in my opinion, this spoof is the essence of the original novel. Like "Smiling Proud Jianghu", a conflict that runs through "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is the killing between decency and cults. As a rule of thumb, those who claim to be decent are often sanctimonious hypocrites. Those who keep saying that they want the Wuyue Sword Sect and the same qi are the pinnacle of hypocrites. The decency in "Yitian" has become a place of filth and dirt without exception. The reason why many famous and decent people are chasing after Zhang Cuishan and his wife is only to find out where Xie Xun is from the two of them, in order to plot the dragon slaying sword ...... that dominates the martial arts" - "Demon Capital Weekly"

“…… Hypocrisy, absolute hypocrisy. To deal with hypocrisy, spoof irony is the most direct and effective, and it is also the most painful. In "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master", Stephen Zhao did this, and when he saw the funny appearance of the second elder Huashan wearing a red cross life jacket, it was very relieving. - Yangcheng Daily

“…… If you talk about subversion, then the most powerful subversion is the image of the male number one Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji in the original work is soft-hearted, indecisive, handsome and strong, but he has no ambition to dominate the world, and he is also forced to be the leader of the Ming Sect, similar to today's various factions vying for power and profit, no one obeys anyone, no one can fight anyone, then simply launch an irrelevant third party as the head, this new head is best not to have contradictions with everyone, Zhang Wuji is such a new head, he has no ambitions, and the biggest ideal is to hold the beauty, but in terms of the beauty wife, he is also hesitant and does not know which one to choose. Zhang Wuji in the film is stoic and tenacious, the city government is very deep, and his ambitions are also great. and because of the beauty tricks of Zhou Zhiruo and Song Qingshu before. Thinking about my mother's teachings, my pure heart was greatly traumatized, and I no longer trusted women, especially beautiful women...... Finally, I have to mention that although Mr. Stephen Zhao has never attended film and television school. has not received professional training, but his acting skills are indeed surprisingly exquisite, and both versions of Zhang Wuji have both form and spirit, which is amazing! - "Crooked Entertainment"

"It turns out that Zhang Sanfeng, who is powerful in the world, is just a fat man who doesn't look amazing...... In addition to Zhang Wuji, who has the biggest subversion, there is any other actor who has made a great subversion, and Zhang Sanfeng is one of them. In the original work, Zhang Sanfeng is a sloppy martial arts master, although he is sloppy, his words and deeds are a grandmaster's bearing; But in the movie. Zhang Sanfeng has not only changed his appearance, but has also changed his words and deeds, and has become a witty, humorous, hot-tempered old naughty boy ......" -- "Huaxia Youth Daily"

……

On February 6, although it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, the release of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" still made many newspapers report on it at length.

On the Internet, the discussion about this movie is also very lively, webpages, forums, crooked groups, post bars and so on. As long as you can comment on it, it's full.

It's not the same as before. The amazing box office of 160 million on the first day is no longer the focus of discussion among the media and netizens, and the focus has become the quality of the movie. The reason is very simple, Stephen Zhao participated in the production of Zuò's films, especially costume movies, it is necessary to be amazing at the box office, and it is abnormal if the box office is not amazing.

On the Huaxia Movie Network. "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" quickly received more than 500,000 rating votes, with a score of 8.2, which is an excellent score and means that this is a classic movie!

On February 7, the next day's box office statistics came out. It fell slightly, but it still exceeded 100 million and reached 132 million.

On February 8, the box office on the third day was 70 million, a drop of nearly half, and the decline was very serious.

Many people began to stand up and speak, saying that the box office would continue to fall, and it would fall in a straight line.

However, when the box office came out on February 9th and the fourth day, the number of jù made these people lose face, because the box office actually got 65 million!

Compared with 70 million, 65 million is a decline, but compared with the decline in the previous two days, such a decline is negligible, and it should be said that the box office is very stable.

Unfortunately, this steady dìng did not last, and by February 10, the box office fell to 30 million on the fifth day, another half.

On February 11, the box office continued to fall, and the box office was only 20 million on the sixth day after the statistics came out.

On February 12, the box office finally stopped falling, and it stabilized at 21 million.

In the past seven days, the box office of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" has reached 498 million in the first week, nearly 500 million!

Without a doubt, this is a very beautiful box office result.

However, everyone knows that the next box office numbers will not be so beautiful, and it can even be said that it will be bleak, because the single-day box office has bottomed out, and it is impossible to rebound sharply unless something big happens.

Rao is so, this box office result is enough for Red Star Media Company to hold a large-scale celebration banquet, and it can make the actors who participated in the filming of this film very happy.

Although Shui Jinyi has retired for many years, he no longer cares about the rights and wrongs of the entertainment industry, and his fame and influence, but the box office of the film in the first week of nearly 500 million still makes him very happy. Especially the comments on him, not only praised his acting skills, but also praised him for his grandmaster bearing, which made him feel a strong sense of accomplishment from the bottom of his heart.

Shui Jinyi even began to be interviewed by the media again for the first time, and praised Zhao Xingchi to the media and said: "Xiao Zhao is a genius with a lot of ideas, very smart, when the crew chatted with him, what I said, he could quickly understand, and quickly grasped the main point, which made me feel like a friend who had known him for many years." I like the role of Zhang Sanfeng very much, because in life I am a fat man who is not amazing! ”

In fact, Stephen Zhao said no more than 20 words to him in the crew.

Among the hundreds of actors, if you want to say who is the happiest, of course, it is Ding Xiaofei and Wang Zefeng, a pair of living treasures!

When the news of the box office of nearly 500 million in the first week reached their ears, they were sitting together drinking and eating. In surprise, the two jumped up violently, slamming the table and throwing chopsticks and beer bottles everywhere. The drinks and meals were scattered all over the floor, and the living room was suddenly in a mess.

Neither of them cared, but laughed and hugged each other, and jumped in place for a while before calming down.

"It's so cool, we're also movie stars!" Wang Zefeng said excitedly.

"Haha...... It's early, it's early! ”

Ding Xiaofei hurriedly said modestly. However, the excited look on his face revealed his true thoughts, in fact, he and Wang Zefeng were the same.

Wang Zefeng suddenly sighed: "If you want to die, it's good for the company to help us tailor a movie." ”

Ding Xiaofei said with a smile: "Never Expected" movie version, isn't it? ”

Wang Zefeng pursed his lips disdainfully: "How is it the same, "Never Expected" is a comedy of complaining and spoofing, without a little depth, it can't make us a movie star at all." It is necessary to have movies like "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The Undefeated East", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master", and "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng". ”

Ding Xiaofei coughed and said with a smile: "The company should have an arrangement." ”

Wang Zefeng said helplessly: "Isn't it just a matter of Xingye's words?" As long as Xing Ye is willing, he can make us a big coffee at any time. ”

Ding Xiaofei suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "I heard that Zhou Xingxing is quite favored by the star master, and I am going to tailor a movie for him." Is it true? ”

Wang Zefeng scratched his head and thought about it, and said with some uncertainty: "It shouldn't be possible, although Xing Ye has a different view of Zhou Xingxing, but if you want to say that Xing Ye wants to tailor a movie for him, it is too, so it is possible for Zhou Xingxing to be the male lead in the next movie." ”

Ding Xiaofei asked thoughtfully: "What is the origin of the stars this week?" As soon as he entered the company, Xing Ye asked him to go to the crew of "Dragon Babu" and the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady", and then proposed to be the host of "Everyday Upward". This time, he even let him play the role of the Blue Winged Bat King, which is the rhythm of vigorous cultivation. ”

Wang Zefeng shrugged: "I really don't know. I only know that he played tricks in the movie crew of "In the Mood for Love" before joining the company, and later saw that "The Legend of the New White Lady" was auditioning actors, so he ran over to audition, but was passed, and he waited at the elevator door of the company every day. Later, when Xing Ye returned to the company, he pounced like a madman. said that as long as Xing Ye gave him a chance, he would definitely repay him. ”

Ding Xiaofei was dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "He entered the company like this?" ”

Wang Zefeng confirmed: "Yes." ”

"I'll go!"

Ding Xiaofei was completely speechless.

What the two didn't know was that when they were talking about Zhou Xingxing, Zhou Xingxing was watching the movie "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Demon Sect Master" repeatedly in his rented apartment. Look at Zhang Sanfeng played by Shui Jinyi. Look at Zhang Wuji played by Stephen Zhao, and watch the two of them play the second elder of Huashan.

The actors who participated in the filming of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" are all happy, and the managers up and down the producer Red Star Media Company are happy, but Zhou Xingxing is not very happy.

The reason is very simple, the "Blue Winged Bat King" he played was not recognized by the audience, and the vast majority of people ignored his existence; The people who noticed him either scolded him or said that he didn't know what to do.

"I don't know what to say? It's impossible, my nonsensical performance method was given to me by Master Xing! Zhou Xingxing couldn't believe it, and soon a thought popped up: "Could it be that I didn't understand it properly?" ”

Because he thought that for the sake of the progress of filming, Stephen Zhao was very likely to let him pass through the guò when his performance was obviously not good, which meant that Stephen Zhao released water to him, and his performance of "Blue Winged Bat King" did not satisfy Stephen Zhao.

So, he began to watch other people's performances, especially the "Zhang Sanfeng" played by Shui Jinyi, who is loved by the audience, and the two elders of Huashan played by Ding Xiaofei and Wang Zefeng, and he is ready to learn from other people's strengths and improve his performance.

With a box office of nearly 500 million in the first week, Zhou Xingxing didn't care about it for the time being.

Zhou Xingxing knows that as long as he becomes popular, let alone a box office of 500 million, it is not difficult for him to earn 500 million.

Therefore, acting skills are fundamental! (To be continued......)
