571 [Powerful Attack]
At the premiere of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" at the Taiping Theater, Zhong Chuhong, who had just finished interacting with the audience from the stage, asked, "Are you very familiar with that Miss He?" ā
"Which Miss Ho?" Kang Jianfei pretended to be stupid and asked rhetorically.
"What do you say?" Zhong Chuhong said angrily.
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I'm not familiar with it, I've only seen it a few times." ā
Since Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong attended the beauty pageant finals together, the media has been talking about the two of them from time to time, and some tabloids have even announced the engagement of the two.
In this regard, Kang Jianfei could only express his helplessness, he was the boss of a film company, and he really couldn't shut up these newspapers. Don't say it's him, the gambling king He Hongsen is majestic when he says it, but the news media about the He family still reports it correctly.
The new Yi'an Xiang family is much more awesome, after Bruce Lee died in Ding Pei's bed, how many newspapers attacked Ding Pei's red face. As a result, as soon as Ding Pei married Xiang Huaqiang, the media's bad words against Ding Pei disappeared instantly, and only the people still occasionally mentioned the matter.
In addition to Ding Pei, there is also Zhang Meng, who was picked up by Xiang Huasheng, in addition to being famous for the scandal with Zhou Xingchi, there has been no negative news since the film ten years, which is all behind the efforts of the Xiang brothers.
Zhong Chuhong asked, and when she saw that Kang Jianfei didn't admit it, she didn't say anything more. From the very beginning, Zhong Chuhong never had the luxury of marrying Kang Jianfei, because she knew this man's romantic heart too well, even if she got married, it would be in vain, it was better to maintain such an underground lover relationship.
The headlights in the theater suddenly went out, and Zhong Chuhong and Kang Jianfei's attention shifted to the big screen.
The opening credits of DreamWorks end. It was Kang Jianfei and Zhong Chuhong sitting in the same room, both of them smiling a little awkwardly.
Kang Jianfei was the first to speak to the camera: "Okay, I'll say it first." Actually, we don't use it at all. We have been married for 5 years......"
"It's been 6 years!" Zhong Chuhong interrupted the correction from the side.
"We've been married for five or six years," Kang continued, "and the reason why I'm here today is like doing an annual inspection of the car, checking the engine, and having the opportunity to change the oil......
Zhong Chuhong smiled: "Yes." ā
Voiceover: "Alright, let's get started." If the maximum score is 10 points. How do you rate each other's feelings? ā
"Eight points."
ā¦ā¦
"Tell me about your weekly sex."
"Do you want to score this too?"
"No, just say do it a few times a week."
ā¦ā¦
"How did you meet?"
"In Japan."
"Tokyo, 5 years ago."
"It's six years."
"Okay. It was five or six years ago. ā

ā¦ā¦
When the subtitles appeared, many viewers at the scene reacted that it was the couple who were seeing a psychiatrist just now.
Wu Mengda and Michiko Saikyo don't have many scenes, and they are bowing their heads and chatting together at this time. Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong and other celebrities. I came to watch the movie today. But except for Zhong Chuhong, the heroine. Kang Jianfei's lovers didn't come, otherwise it would be very embarrassing for everyone to get together.
The casual audience in the back was watching the movie with relish, while the critics were holding pens and recalling and thinking about what had just happened. Hong Kong's action movies are all straightforward, and more than ninety percent of the films are fought as soon as they come up, relying on three punches and two kicks to kill a small role to highlight the protagonist's extraordinary skills.
I have to say that the way "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" appears is very special, it is actually a couple who are seeing a psychiatrist and want to solve the conflict in their marriage.
Chen Bosen watched it with interest. Hopefully, this movie will surprise him. To be honest, Kang Jianfei's films have become more and more commercial in recent years. Although it is still considered to be of top quality, except for the last "A Chinese Ghost Story", Chen Bosen can no longer find the feeling of watching movies before.
In fact, Kang Jianfei has always been like that, but Chen Bosen's appetite has been raised.
Yi Shu, another talented female writer and film critic, felt that the beginning of the movie made her eyes shine, and a few sentences of dialogue had already highlighted the couple's marital problems, which she had always paid attention to.
As soon as the picture turns, armed robbers appear on the streets of Tokyo, a large number of police officers chase and search all over the city, and finally two policemen come to the hotel lobby where the hero is.
The hero and heroine met unexpectedly, and the next storyline is very old-fashioned, but the handsome men and beautiful women, coupled with pretense and humor, are enough to meet the audience's viewing needs.
Especially in the intimate scene between the two, when Zhong Chuhong appeared on the screen in sexy underwear, a burst of coaxing suddenly broke out in the theater. Although it only stayed for a second, Zhong Chuhong's seductive figure still feasted the eyes of male audiences.
According to the publicity of the movie, this is a popular urban action movie directed and acted by Kang Jianfei.
However, film critics and audiences were very speechless to find that the next ten minutes or so were talking about the daily life of the male and female protagonists, how could this be like a marriage romance drama?
However, those who can buy tickets to watch the movie premiere are all loyal fans of Kang Jianfei or Zhong Chuhong, and they actually like this kind of plot progress.
"Hahaha......"
There was another burst of laughter in the theater, but it was Zhong Chuhong who took it upon himself to change the curtains at home in the film, and then said to Kang Jianfei: "If you don't like it, you can replace it." ā
Kang Jianfei said without backing: "Okay, replace it, I don't like it." ā
Zhong Chuhong glanced at Kang Jianfei: "You will get used to it." ā
"Hahaha......" Yishu smiled the happiest, and even forgot to record his experience of watching the movie. She has never been married, and she is both yearning and afraid of married life, so she likes this kind of plot that shows small family conflicts very much.
The audience didn't laugh for long, and the action scenes came with the hero and heroine. is not like other action movies that take several minutes to fight scenes, whether it is Kang Jianfei and Zhong Chuhong, they are all killed in an instant, which is completely different from other movies that can't be killed for half a day.
"This is the killer, you can kill people as soon as you shoot."
"Zhong Chuhong's action of jumping out of the window just now was too windy."
"I think she's more stylish when she's wearing a tight leather jacket and a whip."
āā¦ā¦ā
"I'll top a few lungs!"
"I'm cĒo!"
"What's that? Bazooka? ā
"It's a single missile!"
Suddenly, the theater began to be lively, and I saw Kang Jianfei on the big screen carrying the "Stinger" launcher, aiming at the wooden house where Zhong Chuhong was, and launching it with a "whoosh".
"Boom!" A wooden house was blown apart, and the flames of the explosion made the audience's blood boil.
Now the second-generation individual air defense director "Stinger" in the United States has only been mass-produced for a few years, and what appears in the film is just an empty shell of a special imitation, and such a high-tech modern weapon can only be described as cool.
The life plot that was still plain and interesting just now climaxed after turning into an action scene, and in the intense action scene, there is also a little humor to spice it up.
Due to the different times, Kang Jianfei had to change some plot details, so that things that were too high-tech did not appear.
"Hahaha......"
Another burst of laughter sounded, and Chen Bosen had to admit the success of this movie, except for Cheng Long's fight scenes, there are few fight scenes in action movies that make people laugh while watching.
The battle between the male and female protagonists in their own home is a classic, Kang Jianfei has not changed much, but the final battle has changed a lot, mainly because it looks too fake in the original film.
After re-designing the action, the decisive battle table of the male and female protagonists is very suitable for their identity as killers. With tacit understanding and steady shots, relying on skills and resourcefulness to kill all opponents, this is much more exciting than shooting a few shapes in the original film.
Designing action scenes is a Hong Kong filmmaker's forte.
When the film ended, the theater erupted in applause for several minutes, which shows the audience's love for this movie.
In this issue of Film Fortnightly, Chen Bosen wrote: "As a fashion action film, 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' is eye-catching. It doesn't have lengthy punches and kicks, and in fact, apart from the crucial two action scenes, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" rarely has physical contact fights, and basically uses firearms to solve the fight. So to be precise, this is not a kung fu movie, but closer to the style of Hollywood action movies.
The biggest feature of the film is that it is close to reality, obviously this is a story about a killer who is far away from us, but the description of the lives of the heroes and heroines will make the audience feel very real, as if it happened around us......"
Yishu's article on "Ming Zhou" has a completely different angle: "I like the dialogue in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" very much, I have always regarded this movie as a marriage ethics drama, which is much more moving than muscles and bullets. There are two lines in it that explain marriage very vividly.
Actor Smith? Lee said: 'There's a big distance between us, and it's getting bigger and bigger, and we're gradually stopping talking to each other, what is that?' ā
The psychiatrist replied: This is marriage.
The screenwriter of this film is Kang Jianfei, maybe this is his understanding of marriage, and it also explains why he has been not married despite the constant scandals......"
Chen Bosen and Yishu's film reviews are all praise, one can attract male audiences, and the other can attract female audiences. There are also more direct publicity comments, that is, Chiguo praised Kang Jianfei's muscle lines and Zhong Chuhong's sexy figure, which made some viewers run for these two points.
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was officially released on Friday, and although adults need to go to work and can't watch the movie during the day, they are still crowded by the student party that has been on summer vacation. After the office workers got off work, there was a long queue outside the ticket window of the theater, and all the tickets for the midnight show had been sold at 7 o'clock in the evening, and the fans who came late could only return disappointed.
Kang Jianfei's first film starring himself has a strong attraction in publicity, coupled with Zhong Chuhong's popularity, the box office is not hot before it is fake. (To be continued......)
