088, surprise

As a freelance film critic, Song Zihao naturally will not miss the recent highly topical "Hero Lin Tiannan", he booked tickets online early, and on the day of the movie's premiere, he impatiently walked into the cinema.

Song Zihao is still looking forward to this new movie directed by Liu Xu, because director Liu Xu swore that he would let everyone see something new before the movie was released.

Not to mention......

It doesn't matter, Luo Zihang will make a move.

While being a freelance film critic, Song Zihao is still a pure entertainer, and part of the reason for his expectations for "Hero Lin Tiannan" is to see what kind of moth Luo Zihang can make this time.

However, what Song Zihao didn't know was that in the last timeline, he was also looking forward to it after watching "Hero Lin Tiannan", and he was very disappointed with Liu Xu and Luo Zihang.

It's not that the movie is not good-looking, but there are no surprises, it is still a very typical Liu action movie, although there is a small plot of Lin Tiannan learning to pretend to be forced, but Song Zihao feels that this plot does not make much sense, and it is not that Lin Tiannan has given up learning boxing and practicing guns since then......

And the fun he was looking forward to didn't appear, although Luo Zihang's performance was very good, there was also nothing eye-catching, so after he went back, he quickly published a film review on the blog, and counted the whole movie down fiercely.

As for Luo Zihang, he let it go a little, after all, as a senior musician, he still knows that the "surprise" of the "Luo Zihang phenomenon" is more of this kind of thing off the field.

However, before he could wait for that "surprise", the timeline was refreshed with Luo Zihang's experience of the dungeon.

However, in this timeline, "Hero Lin Tiannan" probably won't disappoint him.

Following the flow of people into the screening hall, Song Zihao, who was already familiar with the theater, didn't need to look for the seat number carefully, and walked directly to the eighth seat in the eighth row that he bought most often and sat down.

While the advertisements were still playing on the screen, he looked around......

The attendance rate is very good, and with Director Liu's consistent reputation, it is quite normal.

Other than that......

"I don't know what kind of moth Mao Maohang's movie can make this movie."

Similar conversations appeared in the screening room from time to time.

Song Zihao smiled slightly, the group of Lezi people is still very large.

As the audience found their seats and the advertisements on the screen ended, the noise in the screening room gradually subsided. Song Zihao adjusted his sitting posture, put the drink in his hand on the cup holder on the armrest on the side, and looked at the screen with a serious expression.

At the beginning of the movie, it is like the audience shows the social landscape of the warlord melee, the corruption of the military command and the government, coupled with the rampant gang members, which makes all the ordinary people fall into dire straits.

Immediately after the camera, a familiar face appeared on the screen, causing sporadic soft shouts, Lin Tiannan is played by a famous action superstar, so he still has a lot of fans.

The content in the early stage of the film is about Lin Tiannan's martial arts experience, as well as his sentiment of worrying about the country and the people, and there are some emotional scenes and martial arts competitions in the middle.

This plot is very exciting in terms of rhythm and action design, and the audience, including Song Zihao, is also very fascinated, but he has some regrets in his heart......

Because although the movie is exciting, it is still a typical "Liu's action movie", director Liu Xu does not seem to have jumped out of his previous barriers, and Song Zihao has not seen the "new things" in his mouth.

It's just that he still has the patience to watch it, after all, Director Liu Xu not only praised Haikou, but even made a very radical behavior, although this will make the movie's premiere box office data look good, but if he fails to do what he says, he will soon be counterattacked.

Then, the camera switched to Luo Zihang, or Hu Feng, and when Luo Zihang appeared, there were more low voices in the screening hall than when the protagonist appeared, and the mood was even higher.

Song Zihao feels that they are not necessarily all fans of Luo Zihang, but most of them must be happy people like himself.

After briefly showing Hu Feng's daily life, the movie soon enters the plot that he accidentally offends the black bear and is then blocked by him at home.

In the movie, Hu Feng did not use the grappling technique to fight the enemy very nonsense, but smashed the things he could catch at hand at the black bear, and then smeared oil on the soles of his feet.

Hu Feng ran all the way to the abandoned post station and temporarily settled here.

Then the camera turned again, Lin Tiannan said goodbye to his master and childhood sweetheart's sister, and began to travel around Jingnan, in the process of traveling, the road was uneven, heroes save the United States and other old sections needless to say, soon, he happened to break Zhai Guangjun's conspiracy to sell the national treasure, and escaped after a fierce battle with the gendarmerie.

"Oh?"

Song Zihao's eyes lit up slightly.

For a long time, Huaguo's martial arts films have either weakened or even eliminated the presence of firearms, or raised the ability of martial artists, turning firearms into useless burning sticks, like this, facing the situation that firearms can fight, but can only fight a little......

It's not nothing, but they basically appear in gunfight movies, and the force settings of the characters basically belong to the category of ordinary people, and it is rare to appear in martial arts films like this, let alone the protagonist.

It's just that just incorporating a little element of a gunfight movie can't satisfy Song Zihao.

As Lin Tiannan escaped with his injuries, the camera of the film returned to Luo Zihang.

The plot of this paragraph is similar to Luo Zihang's experience in the dungeon, Hu Feng first learned about the current situation from Zhou Qing, and got a promise that he would help find Liang Yun to mediate, and then ran back to set a trap just in case.

As a result, the black bear didn't wait, but waited for a seriously injured Lin Tiannan.

Seeing that Lin Tiannan, who could kill people and run away even if he was shot, was put down by a simple trap set by Hu Feng in the abandoned post station, Song Zihao, like most of the audience, let out a small but pleasant laugh.

Although there have been no surprises so far, Song Zihao has to admit that director Liu Xu's control of the rhythm of the movie is still very good.

From the tension created in the front when someone came from the post station and Hu Feng quickly lurked, to the funny picture of Lin Tiannan being stunned by the jar in the back, this tight and loose plot setting, as well as the double-line parallel storytelling method that has been used before, is actually not novel, but it is very useful.

Except for film critics like Song Zihao, most of the audience has successfully immersed themselves in the story of the movie......

Of course, when the movie is over, they find that there is no so-called surprise, and they will still scold their mother.

The follow-up content is still similar to Luo Zihang's experience in the dungeon, and Hu Feng also successfully said the two famous lines "I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person" and "Obviously, I am this kind of person".

His lame fist skills and funny lines drew laughter in the screening room.

But after laughing, Song Zihao muttered again: "Is this trying to position the role of Hu Feng as a funny character?" If that's all there is, it's not a surprise, is it? ”

Although funny roles are not available in every movie, they are also the standard configuration of most movies, so Director Liu's hand still can't satisfy Song Zihao.

However, the discussion between Hu Feng and Lin Tiannan about firearms and martial artists made him feel a little interesting.

"Is the director planning to start with martial arts and firearms?" Song Zihao tilted his head a little puzzled, this is a relatively novel entry point, but it doesn't help much for the movie itself......

He swept around, and the ordinary audience really had relaxed expressions, and many people were chatting quietly with their friends, obviously they were not very interested in this plot.

Just when Song Zihao was a little impatient, the surprise came.

If Lin Tiannan ran to find his future father-in-law to borrow troops to fight against Zhai Guangjun's musket team after recovering from his injury and leaving, it once again made him feel that this movie was different from director Liu Xu's previous films.

The second battle between Hu Feng and the black bear surprised and made Song Zihao and other viewers feel surprised and happy.

Although Luo Zihang only used the "IKEA God of War" fighting method when he fought Liang Yun for the first time in the copy, the appearance of this fighting method in the movie was placed in the second battle between Hu Feng and Black Bear.

After being brought to the gambling house by his friend Zhou Qingkeng, Hu Feng contributed a wonderful and funny battle to the audience, he shuttled back and forth among the tables and chairs in the gambling hall like a loach, anything at hand could become his weapon, the black bear and his subordinates were like stupid geese, and were played by Hu Feng in the palm of his hand.

"New martial arts style! This is a new style of martial arts! Director Liu really prepared a big move in the movie! ”

Song Zihao laughed at the pictures in the film, and patted his thighs excitedly.

This new martial arts style alone has already made Song Zihao, who had been looking forward to surprises, feel very satisfied, and the director also used obscure lens language to give a reasonable reason for the emergence of this fighting style - when Hu Feng didn't learn advanced martial arts before, he just picked up something as a weapon, as a gangster, this kind of behavior is normal.

Ordinary viewers may not be able to notice this hidden little design for the first time, but it does not affect Song Zihao's evaluation of the film because of such a small detail setting, after all, most popcorn movies have never paid attention to these, and Director Liu's previous movies are similar.

The only thing that makes Song Zihao criticize is probably that Director Liu is not bold enough, and he uses too little of this new martial arts style, if there is a movie that is shot in this fighting style from beginning to end, it should be very interesting, right?

Just when Song Zihao and the rest of the audience felt that they hadn't seen enough, the second humorous fight also began, and this time Hu Feng used more "weapons", especially the appearance of the abacus, which made many people smile......

They all tried to play with the abacus as a skateboard or roller skate when they were children, and now seeing similar uses in the movies suddenly evokes a strange mood similar to "heroes see the same thing".

It's a pity that after these two interesting fights, the camera of the movie switched to Lin Tiannan's side, and the style returned to the serious Liu style, but this style is also in line with Lin Tiannan's personality, so the switch between the two styles will not give people too much sense of separation.

With the final Armageddon starting, there was a large-scale shootout in the movie, and with Liu Xu's directing ability, although it was the first time to shoot this kind of large-scale shootout, this shootout was still above the level.

It's just that Song Zihao shook his head with some regret......

He could feel that Director Liu Xu wanted to strengthen the presence of firearms, and find a balance between martial arts and firearms, but the arrangement of this shootout was too deliberate, and it was the same as the previous practice of blurring firearms, but Director Liu chose to blur the martial arts masters this time and let them run to the side to fight themselves, which made this gun strategy abrupt......

But this kind of behavior is worthy of recognition!

And although this shootout is a bit abrupt, it is still very exciting, and it doesn't affect the viewing experience much, so for the sake of having enough surprises in front, Song Zihao generously decided not to spray Director Liu when writing a movie review, and he also had to open his eyes for him.

When the movie ended, Song Zihao sat in his seat for a while, waiting for the others to leave, and at the same time he was listening intently to see what the ordinary audience thought of the movie.

"Director Liu's movies never disappoint! It looks cool! ”

"Actually, I think Luo Zihang's two fights are more interesting, I haven't seen enough."

"Yes, yes, those two fights are funny and exciting, and the surprise that the director said is really pleasantly surprised."

Hearing such an evaluation, Song Zihao nodded sympathetically.

"I don't like it very much, I always think that kind of martial arts is a bit not serious enough......"

"Don't like how you laughed so loudly when you just watched it?"

"That performance was so funny, it didn't make people laugh?! I laughed at the fact that the martial arts fight was not serious, and it did not conflict! ”

"Why does martial arts have to be serious? I think it's very interesting to play like this, and this style is very in line with Hu Feng's positioning as a gangster. ”

Song Zihao smiled disdainfully, the person who objected was obviously just grandstanding, wanting to create a "everyone is drunk and I am sober...... Such people are actually not uncommon among film critics.

But...... Using this trick on those two new styles of martial arts, it seems a little unscrupulous, and I don't know how many of my peers will have the same head as that person.

"Eh, you say, is it possible that this is influenced by Maomaohang again? Director Liu Xu's style has been maintained for almost 20 years, and now there is such a big change suddenly...... It's weird. ”

"I don't know if I was influenced by Luo Zihang, but I'm looking forward to what moths will come out of this movie for a while."

"I'm looking forward to it, hahahahaha!"

Song Zihao, who was also looking forward to it, showed a gloating smile, then stood up and walked out of the screening hall with the audience who had become scarce.

Recommended monthly passes

Recently, I've been writing more and more late, so take advantage of the weekend to adjust my schedule and rest, otherwise I can't bear it.

……

Someone mentioned that the end of each dungeon is a bit hasty, mainly because by the end stage, the plot is quite bland, and there is not much room for manipulation, and most of the dungeons Luo Zihang is not the protagonist, and his participation in the ending is not high, so I chose to mention it in one stroke.

Next time I'll try to write the ending in detail? Don't think I'm in hydrology.
