Chapter 338, The World of Two
This time I came back, one is to hold an album signing meeting, the second is to participate in the National Games, and the third is to accompany a few girlfriends.
And in dating between men and women, watching movies is a good choice.
It just so happens that Xu Krypton's "Seven Swords" was released on the National Day, so support it by the way.
During the National Day Golden Week, most people choose to travel, and the last two days of the holiday are the peak of return.
Just as Hu Jing said, there are no people in the cinema at this point.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the huge theater, which seemed empty.
So much better, reducing the risk of being recognized.
And in addition to handsome guys and beauties, the peerless good partners who watch movies are popcorn and fat house happy water.
Lu Bu and Hu Jing accounted for all at this time, and the happiness of watching movies was doubled and doubled.
With the appearance of the dragon mark, the movie was officially staged.
[After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the prince Dogedo issued a "ban on martial arts" to suppress the Han rebellion, and the former dynasty surrendered to the Qing rebellion and was ordered to kill the martial arts people who violated the order in various places, and exchanged their heads for rich bonuses, when they heard that Wuzhuang located in the northwest border was the rudder of the anti-Qing organization Tiandihui, they besieged it and wanted to take it in one fell swoop.
In order to save Wuzhuang, the chivalrous doctor Fu Qingzhu took Wu Yuanying and Han Zhibang to Tianshan Mountain for help.
After Yue Mingke, the master of the obscure Ming on the Tianshan Mountain, learned of the situation, he sent his disciples Yang Yuncong, Chu Zhaonan, Xin Longzi and Mu Lang with seven swords to help Wuzhuang retreat from the enemy.
The siege of Wuzhuang was lifted, and the Seven Swords decided to go to the capital together to find the emperor and force him to lift the "ban on martial arts". 】
This is the end of the movie.
And from getting up from his seat to leaving the theater and leaving the cinema, Lu Bu's expression looked very solemn.
Hu Jing noticed this, and after getting into the car, she asked, "What's wrong with you, aren't you good-looking?" ”
Lu Bu didn't start the car in a hurry, but asked rhetorically, "Do you think it looks good?" ”
Hu Jing blinked her eyes and said, "It's not that you don't know, I don't have a sense of martial arts dramas and martial arts films, and it doesn't make much difference to me whether it's good or bad, but this film is a bit long, and the rhythm can be adjusted and compressed to be more exquisite." ”
The duration is relatively long, reaching 153 minutes, which is more than half an hour longer than ordinary films.
According to Lu Bu's understanding, the initial length of "Seven Swords" reached an astonishing four hours, and it was forced to be cut into two and a half hours in order to meet market demand.
And this also led to the fact that the first part of the trilogy only explained the beginning of the story, and the real "good show" will not be launched until the sequel, which audience wants to see a "trailer" with such a long duration?
And there are too many deletions, there are a lot of incoherence and cohesion problems in the plot, and the existence of too many bugs also makes the audience very puzzling.
The beginning of the movie focuses on the relationship between the seven swords and the seven protagonists, but there is not enough space to show the respective personalities of the seven protagonists, but instead spends pen and ink on the emotional entanglements between men and women, and the protection of Wuzhuang by the seven swords, making the story seem scattered and unprimary.
Lu Bu shook his head and sighed lightly, "Director Xu is going to be frustrated again." ”
When he saw the script, he knew that Xu Krypton was extremely ambitious.
Because I've been holding it for too long.
In 1995, in the context of the gradual shrinking of the Xiangjiang film market, Xu Krypton still made a unique style of martial arts film "Knife", but what he didn't expect was that the box office only got 3.3 million Hong Kong dollars in the end, which was not only difficult to recover, but also led to the breakdown of his relationship with Zhao Wenzhuo, and in the next ten years, he never dared to touch the martial arts theme again.
It was not until after 97 that the mainland film market gradually opened up, and Hong Kong filmmakers ushered in new opportunities for development.
So Xu Krypton ambitiously took his entire production team, hoping to build a huge world view and shoot a Seven Swords trilogy.
And for this huge story, he also invested three years of hard work, and the production team is also the top in the circle.
The art director is Huang Jianeng of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the soundtrack is Japanese music master Kenji Kawai, the visual effects are the production team of "The Lord of the Rings" Digital Pictures Iloura, and Liu Yongliang is invited to serve as the action director and starring, and Dong Wei and Xiong Xingxing work together to create complex martial arts actions in the film.
The cast includes stars from the mainland, Hong Kong and South Korea, including Zhang Guirong, Li Ming, Yang Caini from Xiangjiang, Zhang Jingchu, Sun Honglei, Lu Yi from the mainland, Korean actress Kim So-yeon, etc., this lineup is better than Chen Kaige's "Wu Ji".
However, the movie itself is not very good.
Hu Jing let out an "ah" and said: "No, after five days of release, the box office of 50 million was slashed, which can be said to be popular across the board, isn't this okay?" ”
Lu Bu explained: "You must know that the cost of this movie is as high as 140 million, which means that you have to get 420 million box office to recover the cost, even if you have DVDs and other revenues to make up for it, you must have at least 300 million or more box office, and according to the current box office trend and word-of-mouth feedback, it will be 120 million in the sky." ”
Hu Jing's eyes widened and said, "Isn't it going to lose a lot?" ”
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Director Xu, this is the rhythm of three consecutive fights." ”
Hu Jing thought for a while and said, "Then do you still want to play "A Chinese Ghost Story 4 Heavenly Way"?" ”
Lu Bu smiled faintly and said: "One yard to one yard, the script of A Chinese Ghost Story is still good, and I also asked Director Xu to control the cost within 100 million, plus take the path of "Myth", there is a high probability that there will be no loss." ”
Hu Jing was worried again: "But if you continue to lose money, can you still get investment?" ”
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said: "The difficulty will increase, but with the support of Huangying Entertainment, plus our studio also invests some, it is estimated that there will be a gap of about 50 million in the end, which is not a big problem at all." ”
After chatting for a few words, I started the car and went to the big courtyard.
In the morning, Liu Liang bought some vegetables, and the two of them made their own dinner.
There is always a risk of being recognized when you go out, so you can't wear a hat, sunglasses, and a mask when you eat.
Hu Jing hadn't been here before, so she was curious: "This is here?" ”
Lu Bu winked at her and said, "Secret base." ”
Hu Jing understood and smiled lightly: "Oh...... A place where the golden house hides its beauty. ”
Lu Bu didn't explain, but said: "There are often paparazzi squatting near the small courtyard, and most of them will be photographed if they go." ”
It has become a dormitory for artists in the studio of the fierce general, Xu Wei lives permanently, Jiang Wen, Jiang Qian, Xia Yu, Wang Baoqiang, Hu Jiao and others will live in Yan Kyoto as long as they are in Yan Kyoto, plus Lu Bu also goes occasionally, and the neighbor is Zhang Guirong, so it has become the main target of the paparazzi.
He also figured out the psychology and habits of these paparazzi, so naturally he would not take Yu Feihong and them stupidly.
In the evening, in the kitchen, Hu Jing was in charge, and Lu Bu helped.
Four girlfriends, different types, different cooking skills.
Hu Jing has a warm and lively personality, straightforward and simple, and as a Yunnan person, she mainly has a sour and hot taste.
"I forgot to invite you to eat last time in Kunming, and I will make it for you today."
"I smell it, it smells a little weird."
"Strange? No, it's very fragrant. ”
Hu Jing was cooking snail noodles, and the ingredients were told to Lu Bu on the phone early in the morning, and then Liu Liang bought them and put them in the van.
Not all Yunnan people like this delicacy, but it is her favorite, and she eats it every time she comes home.
She has always wanted to recommend it to Lu Bu, but she either forgot it, or it was out of place, and today she finally had a chance, so she naturally wanted to show her hand.
"Sour bamboo shoots are not very authentic."
"Screw meat is almost meaningless."
"Rice noodles, yuba and fried peanuts are ok."
Hu Jing was wearing an apron and looked very professional.
Lu Bu looked at the bright red soup base, his Adam's apple rolled, and swallowed his saliva, the taste was really strange, and the appearance was really good.
Another gas stove is cooking another dish of steam-pot chicken in Yunnan, and the local chicken of the hot pot restaurant cooperative is full of aroma.
Half an hour later, dinner was served.
Just the two of them, they can't eat much after letting go, a big bowl of noodles, a big pot of chicken, enough to eat.
"How? Doesn't it smell strange and taste good? Hu Jing saw that Lu Bu had taken a bite of snail noodles, so she couldn't wait to ask.
"It's really, sour and spicy, the soup is thick, and the rice noodles are delicate, which suits my taste very well." Lu Bu praised it.
"The ingredients are a little worse, wait for the next time I go to Yunnan, I will take you to eat authentic, the taste is amazing." Hu Jing has a sweet smile on her face, her boyfriend likes her cooking skills, and she is very happy.
"Be sure to try it." Lu Bu said while eating.
Hu Jing enjoyed him exclusively today, and he ate hometown dishes again, and her appetite was much better, not only after eating a big bowl of snail noodles, but also eating a lot of chicken.
As for Lu Bu, when he didn't have a bad appetite, he drank up all the soup of the steam-pot chicken with the last drop.
After tidying up the dining table and chopsticks, the two went to the living room sofa to rest.
After the TV was turned on, Hu Jing picked up the remote control to adjust the channel and locked the Yanjing TV film and television channel.
She is not interested in martial arts film and television dramas, but she likes other costume dramas, such as palace fighting dramas, historical dramas, and Xianxia dramas.
Since "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was broadcast on Yanjing local station, she and Zeng Wei have become fans of the drama.
The two even knocked on the pair of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, which is equivalent to the on-screen couple of boyfriends and other actresses.
The main thing is that they are not a game party, and there is no problem that the plot and character adaptation are too big, and they can be well substituted into it.
Coupled with the online acting skills of all the staff, the beautiful real-life scenes and well-made costumes, as well as the wonderful Xianxia special effects, you can't love it.
Seeing that the fairy sword hadn't started yet, Lu Bu said: "Our studio has invested in several movies and TV series, and filming will start one after another at the beginning of next year, do you want to act?" If you want to act, I'll ask Feihong to arrange a role for you. ”
Hu Jing lay on his side in his arms, and asked instead of answering: "I seem to like the life of being a teacher, what should I do?" ”
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Then continue to be." ”
Hu Jing smiled with satisfaction and said: "It's fun for you, in fact, the teacher's life is quite boring, repeating the two points and one line of the dormitory and the school every day, for me, it is acceptable for a year, and I will get tired of it if I have more." ”
"If you're acting, there's no hurry."
"I'll go talk to Sister Yu myself, of course, if I can play a play with you, I'm very happy."
Lu Bu stroked her face and said, "There is no suitable script now, and I will definitely play with you in the future." ”
A Chinese Ghost Story has already decided to play Nie Xiaoqian, and a cameo role is not what she wants, so she can only wait.
Hu Jingwan smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Her dedication is a little heavier than Zeng Wei and Yu Feihong, but she is also half a pound and eight taels, not that she must become a superstar and get honors such as after-the-scenes and actresses, but that she can make more money and leave a few more classic roles.
Therefore, if you have to act, you can act, and it doesn't matter if you don't.
And Lu Bu no longer continued this topic, sharing with her the interesting things that happened during the filming of "Baby Project".
After chatting for a while, the fairy sword began.
As the plot unfolds, the ratings of Xianjian are very stable, all the areas where the broadcast is started are all around 13%, and the ratings of the Condor are falling again and again, and the provincial stations can't do the local stations, so they are around 6%.
As for word of mouth, all have declined, but one has dropped less, and one has dropped more.
The Condor is still the same, Huang Xiaoming's Yang Guo, Yang Mi's Little Dragon Girl, and martial arts special effects are the main complaints.
The bad reviews of Fairy Sword come from the setting of "two heroines".
Although it is the same in the game, in the TV series, in order to have more dramatic conflicts, the screenwriter stroked his pen to accentuate the personality contrast of Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru and the emotional dispute with Li Xiaoyao.
As a result, the discussion of the point of view that "Lin Yueru is a third party" became more and more intense.
Even if the appearance of the bloody plot of "two daughters taking the husband" is reduced, it still makes the audience who likes Zhao Linger feel disgusted with Lin Yueru.
Of course, there are also many viewers who support Lin Yueru, because there is a fait accompli of "recruiting relatives in martial arts" with Li Xiaoyao.
"Do you know, the wind on the Internet has changed recently, and they are all scolding you."
"Huh? Who did I recruit and who did I mess with? ”
"Huaxin, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, be merciful everywhere!"
Hu Jing snorted and said, not only complaining about Li Xiaoyao, but also referring to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was speechless, silent for a few seconds, and sighed: "Soon they won't have this idea." ”
Hu Jing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”
Lu Bu smiled and replied: "This involves spoilers, anyway, you'll know after watching it later." ”
While talking, the opening film ends, and the feature film comes.
[Li Xiaoyao insisted on entering the Lock Demon Tower to save Zhao Ling'er, but the wine sword fairy couldn't dissuade him, and taught him to learn the immortal wind and cloud body technique, the drunken immortal moon step and the Dionysian spell, and gave Lei Lingzhu.
Entering the Lock Demon Tower, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru slashed demons and ghosts all the way, and met Jiang Ming, who betrayed Shushan at that time.
Jiang Ming because of the slaughter of his own brother, has always had a grudge, after death can not be reincarnated, become a ghost, and finally the sword saint cast a spell to possess Li Xiaoyao, after persuasion, Jiang Ming finally recognized his own way, but also understood his heart knot, and finally let go, to be freed. 】
Seeing this, Hu Jing couldn't help but speak: "This Hu Jing's acting skills are a little immature. Then the conversation changed and said: "But there are also commendable points, the most important point of Jiang Ming's role, the painful entanglement between love and morality, is here, especially in the face of the sacrifice made by Nuyuan for him, he made up his mind and went on a killing spree, the perseverance and ruthlessness on his face made people feel quite immersed." ”
Lu Bu smiled and said, "It's already very good that the first play was played like this." ”
Then Hu Jing gave the same evaluation as Yu Feihong: "He is a malleable talent." ”
Lu Bu's vision was still okay, and he fell in love with him at a glance at that time.
