Chapter 308: Xingyao vs. the Public! Round N

Gong Yu instigated discord, causing He Wenxin, the only son of Minister of Personnel He Jingzhong, to become jealous of Qiu Ze and kill him. The witness happened to be Prince Ji.

This wonderful show cost Prince Yu another official position.

Similarly, the prince was not idle either. He was planning to use the year-end ceremony to restore Concubine Yue to the throne.

Mei Changsu offered advice to Prince Yu from behind, saying that there was an error in the sacrificial ritual procedures and asked Prince Yu's men to impeach the Ministry of Rites.

He started a discussion on etiquette in the court on the grounds that etiquette was not clear and could not be explained.

Mei Changsu invited a great scholar who had been in seclusion for a long time and finally won the debate.

This also tells everyone a fact: the prince is neither the eldest nor the legitimate heir!

All sons, they are all the same.

Prince Yu and the Crown Prince are not much different in status.

The same goes for the Crown Prince and Prince Jing...

By this time, everyone could see that Mei Changsu not only helped Prince Jing accumulate power and mass support, but also helped him to legitimize himself and dig out the roots of his enemies.

“!!!”

"It's incredible! I can't stop!"

"This is the first time I feel that Black Widow's updates are slow. I really want to read the whole thing!"

"I hate it. I've been chasing her since day one. She keeps me awake every day..."

"I really want to know what Mei Changsu will do next."

"He's too strong, always thinking ahead. He always suppresses his enemies to profit, and even pushes Prince Yu out to take the blame..."

"The scapegoat of the year: Prince Yu! And he seems to be taking the blame with such a cheerful air~"

"He's like playing chess. The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites... his own people or his opponents can all become his pawns!"

"Mei Changsu has been planning this for years. I don't know how many of his people are from the underworld and the imperial court, and they will all help him."

"I just don't know how he will finally redeem the Red Flame Army in an upright manner."

"The most unfortunate thing is Xiao Jingyu. He is probably the most outstanding among the princes, just like the white moonlight in the hearts of these children."

"It's a pity that he excelled too early. Excellence and ambition are very fatal when the emperor is young and strong. I think his father is jealous of him and afraid of his excellence."

"I think so..."

Before New Year’s Day, the promotion of Spring Festival movies had already begun.

I guess no one expected that Loki and Goku’s new movie would be released during this period.

It's simply terrible. Two movies a year, and now they can be seen in every important schedule.

"Infernal Affairs" just finished last summer, right? It's only winter break now, and a new movie is coming out!

Look at other directors, they only release a film every few years, and some even claim to take seven years to hone their skills!

Although movies don't have to be slow and meticulous, isn't this a little too fast?

It's only been a year since his debut, but he's already made two movies, and now he's rushing to make his third one. I heard they only negotiated a release date with the theaters in December, so he got squeezed in...

We make movies, not risk our lives...

Although Chinese films are a dozen or twenty years behind those in foreign countries, you don't have to shoulder the responsibility of catching up alone...

There's no need to be so aggressive...how can others play!

Moreover, the first two films were such a blast, what are the chances of the third film being even better?

Most directors have to make some bad movies to balance things out.

"Kung Fu" is actually a comedy. If you don't know it, you might think it's an action movie.

Patriotic action films like "Once Upon a Time in China" and the unique Daxia Kung Fu theme should be what Loki and Wukong are better at. Why not work hard to delve into this field?

Do you really want to stick to comedy? Comedy may seem simple, but it can be awkward if it's not done well.

Taking a look at the same period, Feng Wang’s eighth comedy “Paradise” was released at the same time.

He is the top director of the second generation, second only to Guo Zhenqi, and is known as the backbone of building comedy!

Feng Wang's seventh comedy itself received very good reviews, and the ninth is his final work. At this juncture, the director's popularity is extremely high.

Even earlier, the entire comedy market in the building was following Feng Wang's lead.

In the early days of the film market, not many people could afford movie tickets, so the customers were all top-tier and high-quality, and they were very fond of Feng Wang's black humor, which was funny but profound, and carried a strong sense of irony about reality, society, and interpersonal relationships.

With the economic development in the past two years, more people can afford to watch movies.

Therefore, today's movies may be more traffic-oriented and popular, and take the general audience into consideration more. Many things need to be adjusted to suit the public's taste, and even a lot of online jokes have appeared.

However, Feng Wang actually did a pretty good job here. It wasn't too highbrow, but the depth remained undiminished, like a clear stream.

The actors are still his old team, with those familiar faces, effortless acting skills, and first-class appeal!

The trailer still shows his style and characteristics, which makes many people full of expectations.

So in comparison, the pre-sales of "Heaven" exceeded 70 million, while "Kung Fu" is currently at 45 million. Both are good, but there is still a big gap.

It is obvious that everyone is more accustomed to Feng Wang's style and he has a better reputation. The quality of his works has always been very stable, basically making hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan, and none of them have failed.

People in the industry are wondering why someone who is so good at making suspense and action films would choose to make comedies? Why not just focus on serious entertainment?

In fact, people in the industry are not very optimistic about "Kung Fu", but after the many reversals before, they have been slapped in the face for more than a day or two, so let's wait and see.

Don’t speak too early, or you will be slapped in the face by these two again.

So as soon as the trailer for "Kung Fu" came out, many people started analyzing it.

As the music played, the Axe Gang became more and more cheerful. Almost all the important characters showed up, but what was the plot about? I couldn't tell.

The cast is noticeable.

Uh uh, but, there are more people in the singing industry than in the film industry.

Look at the lead actor Zhou Heng, he is the king of singing and the king of Chinese style singing.

There has only been one king of Chinese traditional music in Daxia for so many years. His songs are so famous that he just won a grand slam at the Academy Awards.

Some even say that this movie was written specifically for Zhou Heng to play around with, as he was trying to cling to the likes of Wukong or Loki...

Then let’s look at other characters, um, Rong Yining, well, this one has a pretty good reputation in the TV circle, but this is the first time in a movie.

The other supporting characters are quite brilliant, among them is Liang Zhilong who completely subverts his previous image...

Cui Jirong Oh my God, the Mediterranean is really going to kill me.

The image and music are quite cheerful.

The cast is not bad, but it seems to be lacking a bit. There are not many orthodox first-line actors...

From the perspective of the film industry, although it cannot be said to be a case of the boat turning into an iceberg, it is obvious that there is still a big gap between "Kung Fu" and "Heaven".

And there must be a lot of things behind this. Feng Wang has a particularly good relationship with Volkswagen's Lin Xin.

In recent years, Lin Xin has invested a lot in Feng Wang.

Although there are not many copies of "Paradise" this time, the major investor is Feng Wang himself, so it is absolutely unbelievable that there is no shadow of the public behind it.

So everyone is wondering whether Volkswagen, after repeated failures, is going to fight to the death with Xingyao again.
