Chapter 270 The throne, if you go up, you won't come down!
With the continuous popularity of the Chinese New Year, the time has come to 2011, and the new year has arrived.
However, in the new year, the film market is still the same.
The reputation of "Do Not Disturb 2" collapsed, compared with 288 million in the second week of "I Am a Legend", "Do Not Disturb 2" only got 130 million, and 334 million in two weeks, which was a complete avalanche.
As for "Zhao's Orphan" and "Laughing Jianghu", they are all hovering around 150 million, and there is not much box office for a long time.
Although "Let the Bullets Fly" has already received 591 million box office in four weeks, 600 million is just around the corner, but there are less than 70 million left last week.
Unless "I Am Legend" is also an avalanche like "Do Not Disturb 2", this week "I Am Legend" will almost be able to surpass "Let the Bullets Fly".
500 million in 11 days, the box office is unmatched.
Although in terms of evaluation and word-of-mouth, "Let the Bullets Fly" is a little better, as it has been released for so long, all kinds of metaphors in the movie have also been explained.
For example, the horse-drawn train at the beginning, because the story background has a strong revolutionary plot, and it is also the period of the Xinhai Revolution, the metaphor of the horse-drawn train is essentially the Xinhai Revolution changing the soup but not the medicine, on the surface under the guise of "democratic republic", but in the bones it is still the former autocracy.
Because the first train in the country seems to be horse-drawn, not steamed.
There are also Goose City and Cannes, Goose City is dangerous, and Cannes is rich.
Goose City is the opposite, and it is positive in Kangcheng, which means that the people live a healthy and well-off society, but they have not succeeded, indicating that a well-off society only exists in Jiang Wen's ideals.
Huang Shilang threw his hat to the revolutionary Zhang Mazi on the bunker, which means the handover of power, and the hat is the official hat.
pushed back and forth, but after all, they couldn't escape the scope of revolution, and some people even dug out a dark line of the movie, Huang Shilang and Zhang Mazi are both veteran revolutionary parties.
Once, when he gave the mine to the fake Zhang Mazi, Huang Shilang said that there were only two limited edition mines of this kind, and the first one exploded the first sound during the Xinhai Revolution, which shocked the sky, moved the ground, and cried ghosts and gods.
Heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, is another metaphor, anyway, any line in the movie can be interpreted in various ways.
Huang Shilang not only knew what model of the Xinhai Revolution's mines were, but also had the only twin mines, and his identity was about to come out, the old revolutionary party.
In the movie, Huang Shilang also mentioned that he had a relationship with Zhang Mazi 20 years ago.
So Zhang Mazi's identity is also about to come out, the former revolutionary party, because of the revolution has changed its taste, is disappointed in the authorities, and finally falls into the grass.
Is Jiang Wen also disappointed with the authorities?
Huang Shilang was a former revolutionary party, but after the revolution, he occupied the county seat, and the dragon slayer warriors became evil dragons, and they were corrupt revolutionary parties, so Zhang Mazi, the new revolutionary party, slaughtered the dragon again.
All kinds of interpretations on the Internet can add up to a book.
Li Qian is also working on the film, but the focus of the research has nothing to do with the content of these metaphors.
Jiang Wen has become a god among some literary and artistic youths and pseudo-literary youth, in their eyes, even Wang Jiawei, who has won many international awards, or Li An, who won the Oscar, is not necessarily better than Jiang Wen.
But it was only in the hearts of that part of the audience before.
However, the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" has achieved the title of god in the hearts of the public, pseudo-literary youth, ordinary literary youth, and great literary and artistic youth, and has also been officially recognized, which is simply perfect.
It's like that sentence, you can earn money while standing.
He stood, did not give in to optoelectronics, but hid the gunpowder in the bullet under the shell of comedy and commerce, both standing up straight and allowing optoelectronics to accept.
The word-of-mouth spread of the film is probably like this, the quality and commercial attributes of the film itself quickly won the favor of the public, and the majority of literary and artistic young people after a short period of wait-and-see, saw Ning Caishen's sentence "Jiangwen Dynasty is coming!" and immediately bowed to Cheng, admired the five bodies to the ground, and then some great literary and artistic young people also came out to express their attitude.
Of course, there are also literary and artistic young people with relatively high "ideological realm", who denounce Jiang Wen for betraying ideals, corruption, and worshipping money.
But it's also a minority.
Being able to eat all audiences is a place to learn.
Moreover, don't look at Jiang Wen's invitation to Ma Xiaogang to make a cameo, this film also satirizes Ma Xiaogang.
Zhang Mazi wants to make money standing up, Master Tang is willing to kneel to make money, and the object of kneeling is Huang Shilang, who represents the ruling class.
Although Master Tang is played by Ge Wei, the real master in the movie is indeed the role of Ma Xiaogang.
Of course, I don't know if Jiang Wen thinks so, but there are a lot of arguments on the Internet, after all, the director in the circle is just like Ma Xiaogang, who is similar to Jiang Wen, but it is cheesy.
Ma Xiaogang, who has been low-key in the past few days, has been harassed by reporters a lot, but the capital and confidence are insufficient, and there is no fire, Huayang Media also arranges some reporters to cooperate every time to relieve Ma Xiaogang, and Ma Xiaogang in the province is embarrassed.
When asked how he felt about Jiang Wen's sarcasm, Ma Xiaogang almost left the scene angrily.
It wasn't enough to attack Li Qian, he was already low-key, took the initiative to hide, and pulled him and Jiang Wen again.
"Now that the weather is so cold, don't freeze your brain, this journalist friend has also made a cameo in "Let the Bullets Fly", and Jiang Wen is good friends, there is no such thing as irony. ”
Ma Xiaogang replied, he was not polite to these reporters.
The bad mood has aggravated again, and the resentment against Li Qian has been aggravated, and it is estimated that it will last for at least half a month, as soon as he thinks of this, Ma Xiaogang can't wait to hurry over the New Year.
......
For Ma Xiaogang's tragic experience, Li Qian could only express sympathy, and secretly said "Sao Rui" in his heart, and then said "deserved".
When I look at the jokes, every time I see Ma Xiaogang with a black face in the online news, I feel funny.
However, as the movie has been in theaters for half a month, various interpretations of "I Am Legend" have also come out.
Moreover, it is all focused on zombies, and a long film review titled "Who is the Outlier" on the comic has become a hot topic of discussion.
"In all kinds of zombie movies, they are aliens, killing humans and destroying the world, and at this time, there are always heroes in humans who stand up to destroy them and save mankind. But no one ever wondered what the story should look like if they were put on their feet.
When people all over the world have two eyes, those who have only one eye are alien, but if everyone in the world has only one eye, is the person with two eyes an alien?
From the perspective of human beings, zombies are aliens, and the male protagonist wants to save them, but if you look at them from the perspective of zombies, this movie becomes like this.
There was a valiant king, he had a beautiful princess, and in the city where they lived, there was a demon who hid in a lair that no one knew about and engaged in terrifying experiments, and every daytime he came out to move and plunder their food and other things.
One day, he used a trap to capture the princess and experimented with her, intending to turn her into a demon like him with an evil potion.
But, in the end, the demon killed them with a bomb, and the demon's accomplices also escaped with the evil potion, think about it from another angle, isn't it interesting, in fact, the male protagonist is the villain, the alien?"
After reading this blind movie review word by word, Li Qian really wants to say, awesome Plath!
This ability to make something out of nothing is simply terrifying, and the reading comprehension of the college entrance examination must be a full score, and the original author can't compare to him.
This kind of obviously funny and funny movie review, I didn't expect a large group of people below to echo it.
", think about it carefully, it's scary, it turns out that the actor is the villain. ”
"It seems that this is really the case, 99% of the world's people have become zombies, and there is only one protagonist left in the whole city, and humans have become aliens. ”
"Zombies are also human, and their speed, strength, etc. have been improved in all aspects, which can be regarded as the evolution of human beings, so other people who have not evolved, including the protagonist, are not aliens?"
"Zombies can be seen as evolved people, and people are monkeys that have not evolved?"
"I'll go, so we've become monkeys?"
"Monkeys don't have the IQ of anyone, zombies are a beast at best. ”
"I can't say, isn't it that the zombie boss has human intelligence, maybe other zombies can also evolve intelligence?"
......
???
Li Qian was speechless, did these people really think so, or did they follow the trend and be funny.
Isn't this just like when "2012" was released, a large number of netizens advertised on the Internet that the end of the world in 2012 would come.
To be able to say that they really believe in the end of the world, of course they can't, unless they are fools.
However, there seem to be more and more people following the trend, and this long comment has been reprinted everywhere, Weibo, Tianya, cat pounce, dog pounce, B call everywhere, and some people have improved it on this basis.
After it was widely disseminated, what they understood was seen as a metaphor that Li Qian wanted to express in his heart.
This time, Li Qian understood what Mr. Lu Xun felt, and if he saw his article being interpreted in various ways, he should be in the same mood.
That's not what I said!
......
Li Qian came to Yangcheng and Shenzhen to promote the film, and was invited to Sun Yat-sen University to hold a meeting for college students.
To be honest, as the discussion became more and more heated, Li Qian couldn't tell whether the audience was purely following the trend or really understanding it.
However, in the face of the college students, Li Qian still explained patiently, and he told a story.
"Once upon a time there was a country where it was always raining in the sky, and the people who drank it became insane, and all the people drank the rain except the king, and the whole people felt very sorry for the king, and said that the king had a mental problem, and forced the king to drink the rain, and then the king went mad, and everyone rejoiced, and everyone became the same kind and normal.
So in this story, the king is a minority, and he is the only one, compared to the whole country, he is a special one, but everyone thinks, who is a normal person and who is an outlier?"
It's a very simple story, and it's easy to understand, and no one thinks that those crazy people are normal people.
The student who asked the question sat down stupidly, but then a female classmate asked, "Hello Director Li, except for the hero and the dog breaking into the territory of the zombies in the movie, the zombies did not take the initiative to attack the hero, it was the hero who kidnapped the zombie leader's lover first, which caused the zombie leader to retaliate."
And when the male protagonist caught the female zombie, the male zombie leader actually rushed out and looked at the male protagonist without fear of the sun, indicating that they were true love, and his lover was captured, was his counterattack wrong?"
me, what kind of brain circuit is this?
Humans are truly the most complex creatures in the world, and you never know what he's thinking in the next second.
A few days ago, there was a large group of fans who took pity on the dog, and now he said that the actor deserved the trap that time, he caught someone else's wife first, and the zombie leader was right to save his wife.
"Ahem. ”
Li Qian coughed lightly, organized his language, and said in simple and direct words, "First of all, I want to say that this classmate's thinking is very dangerous, the mutated zombie is no longer a human being, at most it is a new species, as a human being, we must first look at the problem from the standpoint of human beings."
Just like a cat eats a fish, the cat will not think that it is wrong to take the initiative to attack the fish, and the lion and tiger will never feel that a small animal such as a deer or sheep does not attack itself and that there is nothing wrong with eating it by itself. ”
There is no big reason, and there is no, just simple and rude.
Another classmate then asked, "Since zombies are a new creature, they are also a member of nature, and their existence is reasonable, so why do we have to destroy them?"
The existence of universal terms, even if it is reasonable, has come out, isn't this a good thing.
Li Qian really wondered if these students were here to raise the bar.
He really guessed correctly, as a top student of 985 University, his heart is arrogant, even extreme, and some people think that Ma Qingyang and Ma Huaqian are just standing on the tuyere, and I can do it too.
What could be more satisfying for these proud people than for those who have succeeded in arguing that they have nothing to say.
Even if it is a bar, there is a sense of accomplishment if the anus wins.
Of course, the vast majority of them are not malicious, they just want to fight with you.
This is not a problem with movies, when it comes to the category of debate and philosophy, coincidentally, Li Qian also participated in the debate competition when he was in college.
However, Li Qian did not use a dialectical way to reason, but said a simple and rude sentence.
"Please come up for a moment. ”
What are you doing up there?
The student was a little strange, but he walked out of his seat with an excited face, ready to go on stage.
Halfway through him, Li Qian smiled and said, "If existence is reasonable, when you come up, I will beat you, and the matter of me beating you will exist, is that also reasonable?"
As soon as these words came out, the student who had just wanted to walk on the stage froze.
When the other students in the audience heard Li Qian's vulgar answer, they also burst into laughter, and even coaxed.
"Hurry up. ”
"Don't be afraid, 110 has already been dialed, Li Qian didn't dare to call, call me to help you call the police. ”
"Call 110, I'm late, I'll call an ambulance for you. ”
"Hahaha......"
The sound of coaxing from the audience made the student a little embarrassed, and Li Qian also looked at it with a smile.
Seeing that he was not leaving, there was another boo in the audience, and he went down in a boo.
Li Qian shook his head secretly, he was still thin-skinned, if he was him, he would go up to see if the other party dared to fight, and if he dared to fight, he would beat the other party, and then it would be reasonable to say that existence exists.
It's quite interesting, Li Qian talked to the students about the "truth" for a while.
Maybe it was the first time I met Li Qian so vulgar, and it was different from those celebrities who talked about big truths in the past, but the students became more and more energetic.
However, there are also those whose minds turn quickly, and they talk about the original problem.
"Director Li, the zombies in the movie have produced wisdom, so other zombies also have this possibility, and compared with humans, zombies have improved their physical fitness in all aspects, and they are completely an evolved version of human beings.
"Are you willing to become a zombie?" Li Qian suddenly asked.
"I..."
The student hesitated, but nodded stubbornly, "If it's a new human who has become fully evolved, I'm willing." ”
"However, there are only a very small number of intelligent zombies, there is only one demon in the whole world, and there may not be one in a million zombies who has evolved intelligence, even if it is assumed that after a long time, these zombies will return to their original wisdom, you have to go through such a beast-like process, I think 90% of people will definitely not accept that they have become an unconscious beast. ”
"Can't we live in peace?"
"How to live in peace? Zombies will take the initiative to attack any creature, including humans, humans will also want to restore zombies to humans, new humans who have evolved wisdom as the leaders of countless zombies, they hold great power, and if they change back, they may become powerless ordinary people, are they willing to give up their current status......
Talking about the movie itself, Li Qian told them well.
This is an irreconcilable contradiction, just like the coexistence of monkeys and humans, because monkeys don't want to turn people back into monkeys, and people don't take the initiative to attack monkeys.
Because, zombies without wisdom can still be dealt with, once there is wisdom, in the case of the number of people and physical fitness, human beings are really facing extinction, think about it, suppose there are 100 billion lions and tigers in the world that will take the initiative to attack humans, and invade the city under the leadership of some wise leaders, can humans resist it, and what price should it pay?
It's still lions, tigers, 100 billion gorillas, and they're intelligent, they're going to use tools, they're weapons, they're gorillas that can assimilate humans. ”
......
Although it was a boring question and had no nutrition, it was just chatting with others and farting at the time.
Although the meeting was recorded on the Internet, there was still a large group of netizens arguing and panicking on the topic of new humans.
However, it has no impact on the movie, and the box office is still soaring.
Last week, because of the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, the box office exploded with 288 million in a single week, and it fell back a little in the third week, but the decline was still stable.
In the third week, "I Am Legend" won a total of 158 million box office!
"Let the Bullets Fly" got 30 million in the fifth week, and the total box office exceeded 600 million, reaching 621 million.
"If You Are the Truth Do Not Disturb 2" only got 50 million box office in the third week, and still maintained a trend of diving every week, with a total box office of 384 million, compared with the other two movies, it is not enough to watch at all.
This week, a Hollywood movie "The Chronicles of Narnia" was released, which got 40 million box office in three days.
However, whether it is a new film or "Let the Bullets Fly", which broke 600 million, they are all overshadowed in front of the amazing box office of "I Am Legend".
159 million in the third week, plus 518 million in the first two weeks, was released for eighteen days, and the total box office was as high as 677 million!
677 million, breaking the box office record of Chinese films created by "Tangshan Earthquake" with 673 million!
is another record, and it is a very weighty record, the top spot in the box office list of Chinese films, after Zhang Yimou, Han Sanping, and Ma Xiaogang, ushered in the fourth record-breaker.
Moreover, I'm afraid that there will be no one to come, this throne, Li Qian will not come down if he sits on it.
