Chapter 360
Who says Kung Fu is outdated? This is too hot.
Ling Sui used a video that received over 10 million likes to prove that martial arts is still a memory that is engraved in the genes of the Chinese people and will not be easily forgotten.
Who says Kung Fu is outdated? This Kung Fu is so hot!
In just one day, this video went viral, not only making "Kung Fu Master" the most popular movie on ticketing platforms and the most popular movie on social media platforms, it also quickly attracted a large number of followers.
Internet celebrities and bloggers copied her movements and started shooting videos. For a time, the promotional song of "Kung Fu Master" became the most popular BGM on Douzi. You would definitely hear it as long as you scrolled a few times.
Internet celebrities are very used to riding on Ling Sui's popularity. Ling Suisui was quite welcoming this time. No matter who takes the photos, as long as they are well-taken, they are helping to spread the concepts of "martial arts" and "kung fu".
Because it is the promotion period of the movie, Ling Sui can neither wear theatrical costumes nor other ancient costumes. When she filmed the video, she wore the most ordinary training clothes, which allowed internet celebrities and bloggers to come up with more styles.
Some people are doing Chinese ink painting, some are doing anime cosplay, and Ling Suisui even saw some people practicing cyber cultivation...
These actions were carefully selected by Ling Suisui and filmed for the sake of looking good. No matter what costume you wear, as long as you can turn coolly in the air and strike a pose after landing, you can easily beat some domestic dramas that rely entirely on slow motion.
Therefore, internet celebrities who are able to follow the trend of this track are not dissatisfied with the popularity of the videos. Some bloggers who were not originally in this field have staged interesting stories that were unknown to the world for ten years but became known to the world overnight.
Professional bloggers gained popularity, and funny bloggers also... Let me put it this way, if we make a summary of all the bloggers' moon-kicking, somersaults and car crashes on the Internet, I guess many people will say that they want to wait until the Spring Festival Gala to watch.
Some people try to be cool, some are funny, and some share science. There are already many tutorials on the Internet for classic martial arts moves like the Moon Kick and Turn. After Ling Sui made these moves popular, more people released tutorials.
Xiao Zhao's sister followed suit at home and was able to perform the first few steps well. However, when it came to the step where she had to jump into the air, her limbs became completely out of control and she fell to the mat before she even jumped up.
"It's not easy at all." The elder sister wailed, "Didn't they say that you can learn it even if you have no basic knowledge?"
Xiao Zhao: ...
Some people believe what some bloggers say for the sake of views... If you want to learn how to do a somersault, you must start with the simplest side flip. This kind of basic skills can keep most people out.
But if he said this, it would be like flattering Ling Sui, so Xiao Zhao kept his mouth shut.
In her heart, she felt a little resentful towards other people in the domestic entertainment industry for not living up to their expectations - it was because they were too incompetent that Ling Suisui, whose martial arts skills were only average, seemed like a peerless master.
Doushang also said that she was a "real Kung Fu master", which made Xiao Zhao very unhappy, but he didn't know how to refute it.
My sister put away her yoga mat and chatted with Xiao Zhao while putting it away. A new self-service beef hotpot restaurant had opened in a nearby shopping mall, and it was offering a 30% discount for two people dining for the first three days.
"Let's go together." said my sister, "and go see a movie at the same time."
Xiao Zhao: "What movie?"
"Kung Fu Master, I want to see Ling Suisui."
"You said last year that all superhero movies were bad."
"Oh, Ling Suisui's performance is different. And think about it, comedies and romances can be watched on video websites without going to the cinema. I don't like watching cartoons, so the only one is Kung Fu Master."
This reason is really... Xiao Zhao curled her lips. When she was watching "Sister Who Can't Get Married", why didn't she think of watching it online?
"I won't watch it." Xiao Zhao refused, "I used to worry that she and I were rivals, why should I contribute to her box office?"
My sister didn't say anything, but her expression said it all.
——Ling Suisui has a rival? Don’t praise yourself as a boss!
Xiao Zhao was angry, Xiao Zhao couldn't refute, Xiao Zhao was furious, but she finally walked into the cinema.
The reason was simple... She was still feeling awkward, and then she saw the previous poster posting a ticket stub for "Kung Fu Master" online...
Xiao Zhao was stunned, while the comment section of the former fans was full of remarks like "double fans are ecstatic", "So you also like Sui Huang", "The actor I admire and I are the same fans", and no one even remembered that these two were once rivals.
...Well, the so-called "rivals" are just made up by fans, maybe the relationship between the two actors is actually very good.
Things have come to this, and since his sister was willing to treat, Xiao Zhao agreed to accompany her to see it.
The attendance rate of "Kung Fu Master" shown on the platform is very high, and it is also crowded offline. When Xiao Zhao found his seat, he discovered that there was someone sitting there.
Before she could ask, the other party walked away on his own initiative when he saw her coming, which made Xiao Zhao a little confused for a moment.
Her sister explained to her, "They probably bought seats in the corners because the best seats are more expensive. They're betting that there won't be many people there, so they can sit anywhere."
But obviously, they made a wrong bet, as there were a lot of viewers who came to watch "Kung Fu Master".
The two of them sat down with popcorn in their arms. The sister was taking a photo of the ticket stub, while Xiao Zhao stared at the big screen and began to count how many interstitial commercials there were in the movie.
Although movie box office is the most intuitive data, advertising is also something that star chasers care about very much. After all, if you don’t pull out a few more tables, why would you go to such great lengths to find angles to brag about it?
As for the results, seeing that Xiao Zhao was sitting quietly waiting for the show to start instead of taking out his phone to play crickets online, you know that the number of advertisements will not disappoint fans.
Today is the third day since "The Kung Fu Master" was released. Judging from Xiao Zhao's impression, the quality of the film is basically in line with the popular reviews.
The film has a clear narrative and a fast pace. Just the right amount of American humor is interspersed in the serious story atmosphere, making the audience smile at any time without affecting the overall tone of the fierce confrontation between the various parties in the whole work.
This confrontation not only occurs between superheroes and villains, but also in almost every interpersonal relationship of Li Mo.
When Zhao saw Li Mo secretly taking the letter for help received by her mother and deciding to go to the United States under the guise of "Master Li", he labeled this character as rebellious and willful.
There are many ways to prove your ability, why take risks? What to do if something goes wrong?
Following the usual routine of this type of movie, accidents are bound to happen and the ending is bound to be happy, but Xiao Zhao becomes restless whenever he thinks about the trouble Li Mo will cause next, and he has an urge to fast forward.
Until this moment, Xiao Zhao didn't realize how much truth she had in Li Mo's situation because of Ling Suisui, who she insisted that "her acting skills were not as exaggerated as the legend said."
Of course it was impossible to fast forward, so Xiao Zhao could only continue watching with a nervous ache.
She had imagined many embarrassing scenarios in which Li Mo would face, such as being recognized, errors in reasoning, errors in strategy formulation... but none of these happened.
Li Mo successfully identified the arrest target and made full preparations for the operation. She was so confident and showed great strength that not only did the Secret Service investigators believe her, but even Xiao Zhao felt that his previous thoughts were wrong.
Even if it's a popcorn movie, it's impossible for the audience to guess every part of the script. That would be too boring.
However, just when she was completely relieved and thought that nothing unexpected would happen, an accident happened.
Li Mo took her folding fan and broke through the puppet formation single-handedly.
This one-on-many fight scene was shot extremely well. As an ordinary audience member, Xiao Zhao couldn't tell how valuable the camera movements were, she just felt it was extremely exciting and explosive.
Leaping, flying kicks, slashing, sweeping... the folding fan changed freely in Li Mo's hands, constantly switching between offense and defense. The owner, Li Mo, who used it, had no sense of being besieged at all. Instead, she exuded the momentum of surrounding everyone by herself.
Xiao Zhao had only one thought at this moment, that Ling Suisui was not lying - what she performed in the short video were actually the simplest entry-level moves!
Why can she jump so high? Why can it take off twice? Are these supernatural moves accomplished with the help of wirework, or can Kung Fu really be practiced to this level?
Not only were foreigners confused after watching the film, Chinese people also widened their eyes and scratched their heads repeatedly, all because Ling Suisui acted so smoothly and naturally.
After watching this highlight, Xiao Zhao had already figured out for Li Mo how she would return home in glory and how she would pretend to be in front of her fellow disciples. However, the plot took a big turn. The monster that Li Mo caught after breaking through the formation was just a clone, and its real body had already escaped.
Xiao Zhao: ...
Looking at the bright side, the accident she had been waiting for finally happened, and she could finally put her mind at ease.
But, but!
How can such a setback follow such a good fighting scene? Li Mo was only happy for a few seconds before a bucket of ice water was poured on her. Screenwriter, please behave yourself!
