Sure enough, since the third day of the Lunar New Year, except for the cinemas under the Jiachuang Film and Television Group, the scheduling rate of the other major cinema lines has decreased to varying degrees.

In particular, the film scheduling rate of major theaters under the largest cinema chain in China, Huangdu Film and Television Group, has dropped sharply from 25.3 on the first day of the Lunar New Year to 10%!

Since the box office dominated the first day of the Lunar New Year with 210 million, it began to fall off a cliff on the second day of the Lunar New Year, with 150 million and 110 million. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, there were only 52 million!

originally boasted to break through the domestic box office of 5.1 billion yuan of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but now it seems to be a joke.

If you can break through 800 million without losing money, you can even burn high incense!

There was even more outrage on the Internet, which was named the most disappointing film of the year - not one.

The famous film critic Zhou Mingzhou also wrote a comment entitled "What kind of martial arts movies do we need" on his Weibo:

Bard, knight, cowboy, in the European and American tradition, these special words are both a profession and an identity, a piece of history and a culture. They form typical images in the narrative of Western art and weave a complete system.

In China, we also have a word with a long history and thousands of years of context-xia. Chivalry, chivalry, martial arts, all these things, from words and calligraphy to movies, continue to influence the values and outlook on life of Chinese.

Because of this, martial arts films are not the same as kung fu films, the latter emphasizing the fight itself, while the former is more focused on chivalry - a scarce resource in our time.

Chinese martial arts movies should be in the form of "martial arts" and "chivalry". The external packaging of kung fu martial arts makes the movie present a unique audio-visual experience, and the inner idea of chivalry contains the essence of the spirit of the Chinese nation.

China is to martial arts movies, just as the United States is to Western movies, and Japan is to ronin movies, all of which reflect the local humanistic style, spiritual culture and national style.

Which director can do it?

In the end, he even @ Yu Dongqing.

Yu Dongqing did not respond as usual.

It's hard to answer.

In the original time and space, Xu Laowei's "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East" can be regarded as the pinnacle production of martial arts movies, right?

Of course, there is also "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" filmed by Ang Lee, and "Hero" filmed by Lao Mouzi is also good.

But Yu Dongqing felt that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" seemed to be specially filmed for foreigners.

As for "Hero", the martial arts action design is first-class, and the picture is full of beauty, but it's a pity that the national teacher has his flaws in making movies.

Storytelling doesn't work.

As long as it's not based on the writer's adaptation, other storylines aren't very good, such as this "Hero".

Oh, and there is another one, Wong Kar-wai's "East Evil and West Poison".

Yu Dongqing has returned to Yanjing on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and he is still living a leisurely life, and all kinds of messy discussions on the Internet have nothing to do with him.

Taking care of my baby son with my daughter-in-law, or drinking tea with old friends, fishing, life is very easy.

The time soon came to March, and the controversial "Laughing Jianghu" was forced to be removed from the shelves almost two months after its release, and the box office was fixed at 650 million yuan, which can be guaranteed.

Both the release time and the box office results were greatly reduced by the predictions.

Yu Dongqing saw the news on the Internet and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Or the audience in this time and space is merciful.

If you put it in the original time and space, the blood spray head that has been scolded for a long time still wants to save your capital?

There is no door.

Like the so-called fantasy masterpiece "Asura" filmed in that time and space, it claimed to have invested 750 million yuan, and it took six years to prepare for filming, and a group of traffic stars and powerful actors such as Wu Lei, Liang Jiahui, Carina Lau joined, but as soon as it was staged, it was sprayed by the audience, and the box office was less than 50 million in just three days, so it was withdrawn and suspended, creating a miracle in the history of Chinese films.

I wonder if the investor will cry and faint to the toilet?

Today's weather is not very good, there is a cold spring, the temperature drops suddenly, Yu Dongqing and Mingmei are resting in the living room, and Lele is sleeping in the stroller next to him.

Looking at her blushing son, Mingmei looked out the window again at the cold wind howling, worried: "Husband, the heating was only stopped in the city yesterday, and today it will change, Tongtong won't freeze at school, right?" ”

Ay.

You're a stepmother, you're more worried than your own mother.

"It's okay, there's still air conditioning in the classroom." Yu Dongqing smiled and comforted: "Even if you don't turn on the air conditioner, it's nothing, young man, not so delicate?" When I was a child, where was there any heating and air conditioning in school? In winter, my hands and feet are frostbitten in the cold, so don't you just come over? ”

"What age are you, and what age are you now?!" Mingmei scolded him: "No, I'll buy her some hot insoles on Taobao and send them over." After saying that, he picked up his phone.

Yu Dongqing shook his head, ignored it, and continued to taste tea slowly.

At this time, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang, and when I saw that it was Yang Liu calling, Yu Dongqing took it.

"What? Invite me to a meeting? ”

"Oh, got it, I'll think about it."

After speaking, Yu Dongqing hung up the phone.

"Husband, what's the meeting?" Mingmei asked curiously.

"On April 3, Xiangjiang will hold a four-day martial arts film week, and at the same time hold a cross-strait martial arts film summit forum, and invite me to participate."

"Then you can go and meet Wu Jingqi." Mingmei said.

Yu Dongqing glared at her.

Bright but sneered.

Wu Jingqi married the son of a wealthy man in Xiangjiang at the beginning of November last year, when Mingmei had just given birth, so Yu Dongqing did not attend her wedding, of course, she sent a big gift and called over to apologize.

Of course, she was joking with her boss.

"Husband, go ahead, it's okay for you to stay at home anyway, it's okay to go out and walk around, lest someone on the Internet laugh at you for tracheitis and say that I look at you too closely." Mingmei said.

Ha?

What does it matter to me what others say?

Yu Dongqing didn't care about any of this at all.

Of course, it's not bad to meet Xia Wenxi, Jin Long and a group of friends from Xiangjiang.

"It's just. If you go to Xiangjiang, you won't be able to rush to Hangzhou Lao Yang to drink Mingqian tea before the Qingming Festival. Yu Dongqing was a little entangled.

Yes?

Mingmei was angry and funny when she heard it.

It turns out that this is what he can't forget.

"Simply, let's move to Hangzhou, so that you can drink fresh Longjing every day." Mingmei said deliberately.

"Your idea is good, after Tongtong is admitted to university, we can move to Hangzhou, I bought a house near West Lake, there are mountains, rivers and tea, it's so beautiful!" The more Yu Dongqing spoke, the more excited she became.

Bright but gave him a blank look.

She didn't want to go.

Although Hangzhou is good, how can there be Yanjing?

Besides, my friends and classmates are all in Yanjing, what does it mean to go to Hangzhou alone?

What's more, my parents are in Yanjing, and I am reluctant to stay away.

Of course, this is just casual talk between husband and wife.

Now that he has decided, Yu Dongqing is ready to go.

On the morning of April 2, I embarked on a journey to Xiangjiang.

Thank you for the monthly ticket 130119164937736
