"Sword God" is adapted from "That Sword" by the world-famous martial arts writer Gu Tong.

In the seventies and eighties, this was a huge IP, which flourished in Xiangjiang Film for many years, and adapted many popular TV series.

After the turn of the millennium, martial arts adaptations began to slowly and gradually decline.

Before Shen Jinsong directed "Sword God", he made bold statements, saying that a good work, as long as it can be filmed well, no matter how old-fashioned the plot can be, it can become a hit.

At that time, he was full of confidence and ambition, and he had been preparing for "Sword God" for a long time, and every move in the movie was carefully crafted, restoring the kung fu routines in martial arts in equal proportions.

But no one could have imagined that when such a sincere work was put on the big screen for premiere, it was criticized again.

"The plot is too old-fashioned, and there are no special effects, the action is not cool enough, it is not as good as the hearty fights in "The Grandmaster", although the acting skills of the characters are okay, but ...... It's almost meaningful, and the gap is ......"

"To adapt a classic, you have to adapt something different, and it must be changed to amaze the audience, otherwise it will inevitably be compared with the old version......"

"The movie is not bad overall, but it lacks ...... highlights"

"Or rather, it's outdated."

Shen Jinsong shook his head when he heard the film critic not far away, and then commented softly.

Shen Jinsong turned his head slightly and saw that the film critic was Ba Liming.

Ba Liming is one of the most famous film critics in the industry, and is known for his poisonous tongue, often seeing flaws in movies and then commenting on them.

After hearing Ba Liming's vague comments, his heart was full of complexity, and he even wanted to run to Ba Liming and follow Ba Liming to tell him how exquisitely this movie was made, how beautiful the picture was, why he didn't pay attention to these things, but paid attention to other content......

But he didn't do that.

He is not Chen Kai, he is more subtle, and at the same time his personality is a little introverted, even if he is turbulent in his heart, he remains calm on his face.

"Sword God" was soon played to the high. Tide part.

The protagonist has one person and one sword, single-handedly fighting the eight major factions of the rivers and lakes, one sword and one ......

He was on this high-faced face. Chao attaches great importance to it, and when filming this plot, he repeatedly ng, repeatedly modified, and finally made the protagonist's actions and personality conform to the description in the original book. The tide made fans scream.

However......

When he turned his head to look at the others, Shen Jinsong felt unprecedented disappointment.

No one screams, no one gets excited......

The audience's expressions were calm, and there were vague whispers.

He couldn't hear what the whisper was, but he knew it wasn't a compliment to his orgasm.

On the screen, high. When the tide is over, it will be followed by a large section of literary drama.

Shen Jinsong is also very carved in the literary drama, each dialogue is very metaphorical, and at the same time shows the sublimation of each character from the beginning to the end, and also points out the theme of "rivers and lakes, dragons and snakes, reckless return to ruins".

A classic movie, if you want to be passed down and praised, such a literary drama is a must.

And then......

There was still no reaction from the audience.

It was calm, as if it was just watching an ordinary movie, and by chance a few audience members left the screening room to go to the toilet, and left early not long after returning.

Shen Jinsong's gaze returned to the screen, and his calm expression could not hide the sense of loss in the moment.

This state lasted until the end of the broadcast of "Sword God", and when "Sword God" was played, the audience left one after another, and the performance was exceptionally calm.

Along the way, no one said that they regretted buying tickets to see this movie, and no one said how good the movie was.

It seems to be calm and calm, without any waves......

Shen Jinsong felt an unprecedented sense of loss, which was not what he imagined, and even when Zhou Yilin came to call him, he still stayed in his seat.

"Let's go, Shen Dao ......"

"Okay."

Shen Jinsong stood up, and then saw Feng Minrui and the others, he chatted with Feng Minrui and the others, but he was obviously a little distracted, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

He only knew that Zhou Yilin and Feng Minrui seemed to have completely become opposites, although the two sides were still laughing, hiding knives in their laughter, and killing people to the extreme.

But it doesn't matter to him, and it doesn't matter anymore.

"My movie, it seems like I'm going to hit the street?"

After getting into the car, he suddenly said these words to the assistant director next to him.

The assistant director was silent.

…………………………

In the early morning of October 22.

Shen Jinsong's "Sword God" came out at the box office.

The box office of "Sword God" on the first day was not too bad, with a box office of 13 million.

The IP of "Sword God", as well as the previous publicity, are naturally effective, at least many people walk into the screening hall to experience the martial arts feelings of the past, and it is not a holiday, such a box office is indeed good.

But "Sword God" did not make any waves, not even the headlines, no one praised, no one scolded, and the overall evaluation of Douban was 7.2, which is a mediocre movie.

But this box office data undoubtedly slapped Feng Minrui hard......

"Fortunately, "Sword God" is not released on October 1, if it is released on October 1, maybe it will be squeezed into what kind of movie by Haolaiwu......"

The next morning, in response to the release of "Sword God", netizens commented on this movie like this.

The popularity of "Sword God" is not as good as that of October 1, "Sniper Phone Booth", and it is not as popular as Guan Tong's youth film "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years", and even the "Our Country" released at the end of the National Day......

You may think that October 1 has a lot of traffic, but looking at the reviews and word-of-mouth of the same period, you know that "Sword God" does not have the potential to be a big hit.

In the office of the president of the Huaxia Film Association.

[The trailer of "Crazy Stone" is a big hit! ] 】

[The trailer of "Laughing All the Way" is crazy, or will it be one of the few good films in road comedies? ] 】

【……】

Ironically, "Sword God" is not as popular as imagined, but the two movies "Crazy Stone" and "Laughing All the Way", which only appeared in trailers, became popular.

Whether it is someone behind the hype, or how much money has been invested, it shows that Huaxing's expectations for these two movies are ambitious.

After Feng Minrui watched the discussion of the two movies on Weibo, he only felt a burst of suffocation and pressure, and at the same time a little indescribable frustration.

The directors of these two movies have been suppressed by them and belong to those banned directors......

Their emergence shows that Feng Minrui and the others are already in the twilight.

Feng Rui closed his eyes.

The word-of-mouth and box office of "Sword God" are far lower than his expectations, which also indirectly proves that if Zhou Yang had not appeared, Chinese movies would still be ordinary during this year's National Day Golden Week.

However, if there is no Zhou Yang's appearance, then there will be no "Infernal Affairs" on this year's eleventh, there will be no "Jaws", only a "Lizard Man" with a bad reputation, if "Sword God" and "Lizard Man" are on the same stage, they will operate behind their backs, and if it is not good, "Sword God" will be hyped as a hero who snips and comes to the dock.

Some possibilities floated through Feng Minrui's mind, Feng Minrui's emotions were extremely complicated, and finally turned into a faint sigh.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the office door.

When the assistant came in, he told him that the last vote for the re-election of the Huaxia Film Association was about to begin, and this vote would determine who would be at the helm of the Huaxia Film Association for the next five years.

After being the president for so many years, Feng Minrui, who is accustomed to covering the sky with one hand, can naturally feel the endless sense of disparity.

If October hadn't done those stupid things himself, wouldn't it have ......

Naturally, there are not so many ifs in this world, he nodded, and then followed his assistant out of the office, and he heard bursts of laughter far away.

Among them is Zhou Yilin's voice......

When he pushed the door open, the laughter stopped abruptly, and although the directors still called him the president, there was no longer the respect and awe in their eyes.

But he remained calm in his seat.

The conference room suddenly became a little depressed, and instead of laughing, everyone whispered in a low voice.

Chen Kai leaned towards Feng Minrui's side.

"They're going to force the palace."

Before Chen Kai finished speaking, he heard the door open not far away.

Later, he saw An Xiao holding a notebook and sitting on the main seat.

An Xiao is the presiding officer of this election and one of the supervisors......

said yes, but after Feng Rui waited for a long time, he didn't wait for Xu Kangnian to come over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xu Chu has a cold today and can't come to the meeting, so I will attend the meeting for him, and I will keep the meeting fair and just......"

Feng Rui saw An Xiao stand up and said a series of words.

He looked at the time, then at the empty seats in the conference room......

Cao Bangguo and others did not come, Shen Jinsong did not come, and the positions of Shen Changwei, Wang Shuai and others were still empty.

Among the younger generation, Feng Kai came over and sat in a very conspicuous position, although he looked out of place with other people, but his aura was very big.

The meeting began quickly.

Feng Minrui listened to a series of things in the meeting, and Feng Minrui's spirit was a little dazed.

It wasn't until the applause thundered that he reacted and instinctively stood up.

This year's ......

Zhou Yilin was successfully elected president.

And he withdrew from the core position of the entire Huaxia Film Association, and only hung up the false position of "honorary president".

…………………………

United States.

Zhou Yang received a call from Zhou Yilin.

On the phone, Zhou Yilin told Zhou Yang that now he is the president, and the entire Huaxia Film Association is up to him, and the next thing is to cooperate with the Huaxia Young Directors Association and strive to fight against the likes of Hollywood Films, and at the same time he will alleviate the contradictions between young directors and the older generation of directors, eliminate tumors and scourges, and strive for one heart......

Zhou Yang listened, but did not express any opinions.

He was never interested in any of that.

"Xiao Zhou, I'm not Feng Minrui, I'm not anyone else, I know that good birds choose trees to perch, and I also know what kind of positioning I will be in the future...... Don't worry, I won't stab you in the back. ”

The human heart is sometimes too complicated.

It is so complicated that Zhou Yang sometimes questions the authenticity of Zhou Yilin's words, although he is extraordinarily sincere.

"Director Zhou! Congratulations! ”

After Zhou Yang finished chatting with Zhou Yilin, he hung up the phone.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, are you sure that you want to recruit those students who have just graduated or are unemployed to participate in your "Spider-Man" at the film academy?"

"Hmm."

Coro. Peggy looked at Zhou Yang, and after a while, the muscles on her face twitched, and finally took Zhou Yang into the American Film Academy.

He suddenly felt that the movie "Spider-Man" might be even more unreliable than "Lizard Man".
