"An indescribable feeling, you say it's not good-looking, and you don't have the idea of leaving the scene early or dozing off, you say it's good-looking, and you don't have a particularly deep memory point."

"I'm here to count stars, there are indeed a lot, half of the first, second and third-tier actors, singers, and directors in the entertainment industry."

"It's decent, it's not bad, it's not good."

"Actually, some of the plots are quite touching and passionate."

"Yes, it's already rare that the main theme movie can be made without embarrassment, and if you can watch it."

"As a commercial film, it was a success."

……

Coming out of the theater, I heard the audience chatting without a word.

These evaluations fell into Lu Bu's ears, and he was not surprised, or disappointed, because they were all true.

The plot is like watching flowers, and the stars that flash by are not classified as bad movies, so they steal the fun, and what kind of bicycle do they want.

Judging from the box office of 35 million on the first day of release yesterday, the data is not very optimistic, but this kind of film is generally organized by a unit to watch, which is a stable type.

Besides, they all starred in zero pay, and the box office has nothing to do with them.

Moreover, several other films in the same period have a very severe box office and reputation.

"October Siege", the box office on the first day was 23 million, with a score of 7.7;

"Thorn Tomb", with a box office of 12 million on the first day and a score of 3.9;

"Su Qier", the box office on the first day was 8.8 million, with a score of 5.1.

"October Siege" is a standard commercial movie, including almost all the genre elements that can be seen on the market, only one step away from love, suspense on how to break through, innovative martial arts, thriller of physical destruction, and three-view publicity, plus a luxurious star lineup, but it is too heavy, lacks explosive points, and it seems that the cost of 150 million cannot be recovered.

"Thorn Tomb" refreshed the lowest score of Zhou Yulun's movie, the plot logic is chaotic, there are too many advertisements implanted, the protagonist's behavior is unreasonable, and the lines are thunderous, although it has a star lineup with good looks and acting skills, but the quality of the film is not guaranteed, and it is the first bad movie for the National Day.

The action scenes of "Su Qier" did not disappoint, the fight scenes occupied almost half of the whole film, each scene has its own characteristics, although there is no breakthrough, but it finally continues Yuan Heping's consistent high level, in addition, the film has no bright spots, the main line is the most commonly used revenge story in Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts films, but it is such a simple, old-fashioned story, and it is also full of loopholes and grotesque.

"The eighth master is the first martial artist, there is no doubt about this, but as a director, it is not suitable, and what's worse is that he also uses a screenwriter who is not in the stream."

This is the evaluation given by Jiang Wen.

"Martial arts films have gradually declined."

Lu Bu could only let out a long sigh.

"The change in martial arts films can be traced back to Chen Kaige's 'Wu Ji', which seems to herald the transformation of martial arts films from pure 'martial arts' to advocating 'technocentrism', since then, the special effects have become more and more amazing, the commercial atmosphere has become more and more intense, and the spirit of justice and chivalry has gradually disappeared, replaced by a series of films called 'ancient puppet dramas', although they claim to show 'national righteousness', but in fact they are full of cliché love plots." Ginger tried to analyze.

"Whether it's "Wuji", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides", the influx of foreign capital has undoubtedly improved the special effects of these movies and made them more realistic, but at the same time, the core elements of martial arts movies are also slowly disappearing, there are pros and cons." Lu Bu shook his head slightly.

"However, martial arts films are not dead yet." Jiang Wen suddenly said.

"Not dead?" Lu Bu fell silent.

"Because of you." Jiang Wen said with a smile.

"Me?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "No matter how powerful Rao is, I don't have the art to bring the dead back to life." ”

"Yes, you only need to write, direct and act in a martial arts film, and it will have the effect of bringing the dead back to life." Jiang Wen is a serious way.

"Forget it, my level will only make it worse." Lu Bu shook his head.

He does have some special feelings for the word "martial arts", no matter how he says it, he has developed it with martial arts dramas and martial arts films.

But it would be unrealistic to say that he alone could revive the genre.

Even if he makes a martial arts film with a double explosion at the box office and word of mouth, he can't change the status quo of martial arts films, because now that the voice of capital is getting heavier and heavier, he can't influence others.

——————

In mid-October, Lu Bu's vacation ended, and he joined the group with Zeng Wei.

The filming of the drama "Latent" is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In 2001, he served as the screenwriter of the family ethics drama "Don't Talk to Strangers", and in 2004, he won the New Director of the Year Award at the Southern Festival with the criminal investigation suspense drama "Silent Witness".

At first, he was very worried that Lu Bu and Zeng Wei would not be able to play the role of this drama, not because their acting skills were not up to par, but because one was too handsome and the other was too beautiful, and starring in a spy war drama with the theme of the Republic of China might make the audience play.

However, he has no way to influence the casting results, because Mengjiang Media is the largest investor in this drama.

However, after the official shooting, his idea completely changed.

Lu Bu and Zeng Wei's speculation on their respective roles and their research on the script are beyond imagination, not to mention Yu Zecheng or Wang Cuiping, at least reaching his standards.

Before, the best candidates in his mind were Sun Honglei and Yao Chen, but now he thinks that Lu Bu and Zeng Yi can also do it.

And as the filming lasted for a long time, he thought that Lu Bu and Zeng Yi performed their own taste, creating a Yu Zecheng and Wang Cuiping who were loyal to the original work and did not stick to the details of the original work, with a plump, distinct and prominent image, one word "good".

"Click, the actor will make up his makeup, arrange the venue and prepare for the next scene."

Jiang Wei's voice fell, and Lu Bu and Zeng Wei withdrew from the venue.

After touching up the makeup, Zeng Yi opened his mouth and asked: "Are you going to the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards at the beginning and middle of next month?" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I have to go, "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" has been nominated for so many awards, it's not appropriate for me not to go." ”

Zeng Hao blinked and said, "Then I will take many days off." ”

Lu Bu sighed: "There is no way, I can only let the director shoot other people's scenes first." ”

Zeng Yan smiled and said, "This time, take two actors back." ”

Lu Bu said: "It's difficult, the competitor is very strong." said, smiled faintly, and said: "It doesn't matter, an actor can't explain anything, there is one, and it doesn't matter if you don't." ”

Zeng Yan heard this, and said softly: "Anyway, in my heart, you are already an actor." ”

Lu Bu looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of love.
