My name is Le Jing, and I traverse endless worlds, solely in pursuit of freedom, knowledge, and truth.

Q: How does a heavy opium addict who gambles, drinks...

Chapter 155 Interstellar Filmmaking (38)

As soon as Liu Yinxiu walked out of the art center, she was stopped by the staff:

"Can you please fill out a questionnaire about the film? We will give you some movie-related souvenirs."

"Do you have any souvenirs?" A clear female voice came from behind him, "I can fill it out, too!"

"Then I'll trouble you."

Liu Yinxiu turned her head and saw that it was the brother and sister from other provinces.

The questionnaire was very simple, just two or three questions, mainly asking them about their opinions on the film.

The cheerful and lively girl filled out the questionnaire on the terminal while asking the staff in a familiar manner: "When will the movie be released? I want to watch it again!"

The staff smiled and said, "It's hard to say. It depends on the market's reaction."

The little sister said with certainty: "This movie will be a huge hit once it's released, with a box office of billions! I cried several times while watching it! So you have to release it soon!"

My brother also said: "The quality of the films directed by Director Shi is guaranteed. I think the box office of "The Queen's Dog" will definitely not be worse than "The Records of the Republic of China's Literary Masters"!"

Liu Yinxiu couldn't help but ask, "Are you also a fan of the old... Shi Jing?"

My brother nodded and asked excitedly, "You too?"

All three of them were young people, die-hard fans of Shi Jing who came to see the premiere, and they quickly started chatting.

At the end of the conversation, the brother said directly: "My name is Luo Bao, this is my sister Luo Lan, what's your name, little brother? Let's add WeChat?"

Liu Yinxiu: “…”

He is considered an Internet celebrity on Starbucks, and is also a former black fan of the famous Old Scenery. He is afraid that he will be beaten to death by these two little fans as soon as he reveals his real name.

He laughed dryly and said, "My last name is Liu, just call me Brother Liu, my WeChat ID is..."

Luo Bao added his WeChat as he was told, and then fell silent.

"…Your name is Liu Yinxiu?"

Liu Yinxiu: The smile on my face slowly disappears.jpg

He suddenly remembered that his WeChat name and Xingbo account were the same, both of which were his real name.

This is fucking embarrassing.

Facing the suspicious and vigilant gazes of the brother and sister, Liu Yinxiu wiped her face and said sincerely: "I have changed from hater to fan now, please don't discriminate against me QAQ"

"There is no word on the stone tablet, but the history records his name. He was the emperor for fifteen years, and his merits and demerits will be judged by future generations..."

"How could the legendary female emperor Wu Zetian, who has always lived only in unofficial history and rumors, become an emperor as a woman? What kind of person was she? And what kind of emperor was she? Director Shi Jing gave the audience a refreshing answer..."

"The Queen's Dog is a record of the splendor of the Tang Dynasty. Even though I only got a glimpse of it, it has already haunted me and made me yearn for it..."

"Watching the daily life of the empress with a dog's eye, power is like fine wine, so intoxicating..."

Tian Hui's eyes lingered on one film review after another, and his expression became increasingly uglier.

There was not a single bad review! Not a single review criticized "The Empress's Dog", all the reviews praised the movie! The words were so disgusting that he was completely turned off!

He couldn't help but speculate maliciously, thinking that Shi Jing must have spent a lot of money to buy so many film reviews, right?

Wu Zetian is a fictitious character in folk myths and legends, and she had a cruel and dissolute temperament. It is said that she even strangled her own child to death. Such a woman was worse than an animal, but Shi Jing had no principles or bottom line in order to attract attention, and even wanted to whitewash such a person!

However, in the end, it all comes down to strength.

His latest film, "Tulip Beauty", is an award-winning art film tailor-made for the Ark Awards. The male and female protagonists are both first-line celebrities, which are hot topics. The subject matter is the tragic love story between humans and Zerg. It coexists with commerciality and art, and has always been liked by the Ark Awards judges.

In order to make this movie well, he took great pains to convince his family and secured an investment of 30 million. However, he is confident that after the movie is released, he can help his family earn more!

Tian Hui secretly held a preview of the film before, and everyone who saw "Tulip Beauty" praised it highly, so Tian Hui was very confident about the film's financial prospects.

These film critics and audiences are ignorant and have never seen the world. After seeing his "Beauty of the Tulips", they will understand how excellent his works are and how rubbish "The Queen's Dog" is!

"The Queen's Dog" is only popular now. When his movie premieres in a week, the whole of China will be shocked by his work!

The higher "The Queen's Dog" is hyped now, the worse it will fall next!

When he thought of the tragic and embarrassing failure at that time, the smile on Tian Hui's face grew bigger and bigger.

I want to see what you can still be proud of by then? !

It was almost noon when Le Jing woke up.

Yesterday's preview was a great success.

The film critics he invited all gave quite positive reviews.

Now it depends on the audience's attitude.

There were staff members collecting statistics on audience feedback in front of the preview yesterday, and now the statistical results have been sorted out and sent to him.

He opened his mailbox and saw new email.

The audience's reviews were quite positive, with the approval rate reaching an astonishing 100%. Although the approval rate will naturally drop as the number of viewers increases in subsequent releases, the fact that the preview received unanimous praise from the audience is also a testament to the quality of the film.

Since the audience response is good, the film can be scheduled earlier. Le Jing hopes that it can be released on the first day of the Chinese New Year, that is, February 12, at the latest, just in time for the peak traffic period of the Spring Festival, and also in time for the annual Ark Awards at the end of the month.

Le Jing turned on the light brain and searched the Internet for relevant feedback about "The Queen's Royal Dog".

After a night and a morning of preparation, there are already many audience reviews of "The Queen's Dog" on the Internet.

Many viewers also visited the official Weibo account of "The Queen's Dog" and enthusiastically praised the show, wishing to praise the director, actors, screenwriters, photographers and other staff members.

In addition to his and the actors' fans, there were also some passers-by who went to see the preview. These people were teachers and students from top universities, who possessed excellent aesthetic sentiments and cultural literacy. Their affirmation was undoubtedly the best endorsement of the film's quality.

A man named Hua Xiasheng wrote an article praising "The Queen's Dog". Le Jing noticed that his star blog was certified as a professor of history at Luodu University.

In the article, Professor Hua said: "While combining unofficial history, Director Shi Jing adhered to an objective and inclusive historical perspective, and did not fall into the misunderstanding of black and white. He gave full play to his imagination, enriched the emotions of the first female emperor in history, and reflected her charm under the cold and cruel... At the same time, Director Shi Jing also made a certain degree of reasonable exploration of the blank history, which is very meaningful for popularizing the correct historical perspective..."

"...Many people are full of contempt and prejudice against Wu Zetian because of the records of her affair in a few unofficial history books. Some people even slut-shamed her. But Wu Zetian became the first female emperor in history. Was she really such a despicable person? Why did the people praise male emperors for their cruelty and ruthlessness, but scolded female emperors for their cruelty and ruthlessness..."

"...There are also some people who believe that Wu Zetian did not exist at all, and was just a fictional figure created by later generations. Those who say this are the real historical nihilists! Wu Zetian is a real historical figure! There is a lot of relevant evidence, first of all, the notes of scholars in the late Ming Dynasty..."

There are many echoes under Professor Hua’s blog:

[Woof woof woof: After watching "The Queen's Dog", I really fell in love with Her Majesty the Queen! Zhang Yanfang played the Queen so well! ]

[Meimeimeime: I used to hate Wu Zetian because she was lustful and cruel. I heard that she even strangled her own child. But after watching this movie, I found that I couldn't hate her anymore. I even felt that the unofficial history was fake! Before she was an emperor, she was first a flesh-and-blood person! ]

[As expected of me: Director Shi Jing is so good! I want to praise him so much! There are very few people who can make historical dramas so wonderful, I can't stop watching. ]

[Octopus: Professor Hua, I would like to learn about the life of Empress Wu Zetian. Can you recommend me some relevant history books? ]

There was a faint smile on Le Jing's lips.

He feels sincerely gratified that his films are liked by so many people and can encourage more people to actively learn about history.

Although there are still many people who regard Wu Zetian as a fictional character and her deeds as the director's "imaginative creation", at least more and more people know about Wu Zetian and her legendary life.

A person actually dies three times. One is when he dies, one is when others attend his funeral, and the last time is when the last person who remembers him forgets him. Only then is a person truly dead.

Now, seven thousand years after the destruction of the earth, Empress Wu Zetian has "come back to life" again, and she will always "live" in the hearts of the audiences who have watched the movie.

While searching for audience feedback, Le Jing found a lot of information about Tian Hui's new film.

Tian Hui, the murderer who indirectly caused the original owner's death, Le Jing hasn't thought about him for a long time.

He was very busy and had a lot to do. He only hated that he didn't have enough time and that Tian Hui was not worthy of his precious time and attention.

Le Jing's success is the biggest revenge on Tian Hui.

It's just that he was too lazy to pay attention to Tian Hui, but now Tian Hui came here to show his presence.

Tian Hui's new film "Tulip Beauty" was produced at a cost of tens of millions. The male and female leading actors are both popular first-line stars. The premiere will be held in Beijing in a week, and dozens of media will go to interview.

There is already a lot of publicity online, including some professional media commenting on "Miss Tulip"

Le Jing touched his chin. Tian Hui was very confident in the quality of the movie. He didn't even hold a preview and premiered it directly. The premiere was held in the largest Hua Xia Theater in Beijing. Maybe it would be a strong rival to "The Queen's Dog".

Tian Hui chose to premiere at this time, probably aiming at the Spring Festival period, and perhaps also hoping to compete for the Ark Awards.

Le Jing raised his eyebrows. The other person had presented his face to him for him to hit. So he should hit her or hit her or hit her.

It's time to avenge the original owner.

He was about to turn off the computer when a news pop-up window suddenly appeared.

[Disputes over rare metal mining rights have intensified friction between the Insect Star and the Free Star, which may be the fuse of an interstellar war. ]

Freedom Star is the area where the Central American Federation of the Earth Alliance is located.

Le Jing frowned deeply, and seemed to smell a vague scent of impending storm.

Will war really break out?

The author has something to say:

Small theater:

Liu Yinxiu laughed dryly: "My last name is Liu, just call me Brother Liu, my WeChat ID is..."

Author: "Brother Liu's words are too biased. Who says women are inferior to men~" (I couldn't help singing out loud)

In the previous chapter, some readers pointed out that Wu Zetian herself set up the wordless stele. This is probably a folk rumor because it is completely untenable. Subsequent archaeological discoveries have shown that the wordless stele is already full of squares. According to the calculation of the squares, more than 3,300 words of inscriptions were prepared at that time. But why was there no inscription on the stele?

Historians have made three speculations: First, Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, who succeeded to the throne, could not address Wu Zetian. Did he call Wu Zetian the late emperor? Or did he call her the empress dowager? Second, although Tang Zhongzong was Wu Zetian's son, he was deposed and reinstated, so he was jealous. It was a great shame to insert a 21-year "Wu Zhou" into the Li Tang Dynasty. In order to avenge his hatred, he deliberately erected a monument to embarrass and make her look bad. Third, there has been endless debate on how to write an inscription to evaluate Wu Zetian, and because it has never ended, the monument has always been empty. The credibility of these three statements lies in that emperors generally would not issue an edict before their death to express their opinions on how to write an inscription to comment on themselves. Therefore, there is no word in front of Wu Zetian's monument.
