Chapter 225 You have found the highlight!
"8.9? I've watched countless movies, but I missed this 8.9!"
"8.9 can make it into the top 100 Daxia movies, right?"
"Yes, it's ranked 87th on the Daxia movie ratings list!"
“!!!”
"So many films from Daxia didn't win the Cannes Film Festival, but this is a film by a college student?"
"So that means the director and screenwriter are all college students?!"
"Yes, it's normal that you didn't know about it, so it's not in theaters. Iqiyi has a link, it's free."
"The director is indeed a college student, a senior, Zhang Wen from the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts, and the son of Professor Zhang Xuejun. But it seems the screenwriter, Rocky, is the real talent. You can watch Professor Zhang's speech at the College Student Film Festival awards ceremony; he gave all the credit to the screenwriter. Link: XXX..."
"He said that he and Zhang Wen were taken away by Loki..."
"At Cannes, the person he was mainly grateful to was the screenwriter Rocky..."
“Who is this screenwriter?”
"Screenwriter Loki made his debut with the micro-films 'Old Boy' and 'Happiness'. From the very beginning, he was a top actor and singer. He then directed 'I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City', which received a 9.1 rating and was listed in the top 100 Chinese films. 'Never Expected' became the originator of online dramas, grossing over 100 million yuan and becoming a marketing legend. He then broke into the television industry, and the annual drama 'Wulin Waijia' was his work, followed by 'Buried Alive', and the next one... 'Once Upon a Time in China'!"
“…”
"A newcomer, and judging by all the clues, he's very likely a classmate of Zhang Wen's! Every single one of his works is top-notch, sweeping the film and television industry. So, what about 'Once Upon a Time in China'..."
"Brother, you've hit the nail on the head. How could such an incredibly talented screenwriter just casually make something that would ruin his own reputation?"
"Then this 'Once Upon a Time in China'...I'm afraid it's not just a bad movie!"
“I’ve been looking forward to it the whole time!”
"Doesn't anyone care about our country's first Cannes Film Festival Best Actor? Isn't Teacher Zhang worthy of it?"
"That won't work! Mr. Zhang Xuejun, who started out in historical anti-Japanese war dramas, has played the highest male lead, and his acting is well-regarded, but his popularity is average. It wasn't until last year when he played Constable Xing in "Wulin Wai Zhuan" that he became deeply loved by the public. In real life, he's affectionately called "Old Xing"! Last year, he starred in "Buried Alive," which broadened his acting range and garnered widespread attention, bringing him a huge wave of popularity. And this film, which won him the Best Actor Award at Cannes, is only his first film. And his next film is..."
"Once Upon a Time in China – Ghost Leg Seven!"
"Damn, you've found the highlight again. This 'Once Upon a Time in China'... a god-level screenwriter and a Cannes Film Festival winner, this is not a low-profile film at all!"
"With Choi Ji-young singing the theme song, this lineup seems to be just as impressive as the crowd across the street!"
“There are even advantages…”
"...Yuan Ye got a great bargain!"
The Internet was buzzing with news about Cannes, but in the end the topic all returned to the upcoming release of "Once Upon a Time in China".
The pre-sale of "Once Upon a Time in China" exceeded 30 million, "Storm Rescue" is still in first place with 35 million, and "Wish" is now 32 million.
The gap is gradually closing...
From this moment on, except for the male lead, "Once Upon a Time in China" and "Taken" are on the same level in all aspects.
"Bang!"
It seems that the Lin family's love of throwing things has become hereditary. Lin Shao was furious after reading the comments online.
"What do you mean not bad? Far from it! The male lead of 'Storm' is Yan Yu, a top-tier actor. I spent three years polishing the script, and Volkswagen invested 100 million yuan. What kind of a ragtag group is this? Are they worthy of sitting at the same table with me?"
"Do you think you can become a superstar just because you dominate the music field? The film industry isn't for everyone!"
"Increase the resources and publicity level for me, I want to crush it!"
Two weeks before the premiere, the resources of "Storm Rescue" were fully upgraded, and the online promotion channels: blogs, video websites, self-media bloggers, offline cinemas, hard advertising media and other promotional campaigns were overwhelming.
Although Xingyao also has these, the resources and scale are far behind.
The pre-sale data was widened again.
"Taken" leads the way with pre-sales of 80 million.
The second place is "Wish" with 56 million, and "Once Upon a Time in China" with 53 million.
The plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has progressed to the second half.
An Lingrong tried to win favor by using a scent of warmth, but was exposed by Zhen Huan and ended up swallowing bitter almonds to commit suicide.
The words "Queen, kill the Queen" before her death set the stage for Zhen Huan to overthrow the Queen.
Zhen Huan used the surrogacy to frame the Empress, and ultimately, due to Long Yue's remark, "The Empress pushed Empress Xi!", she was blamed for the miscarriage. The Emperor ordered the Empress to reflect on her mistakes and severely punished her for this matter.
However, Zhen Huan knew that without a fatal killing move, it would not be enough to bring the mother of a country down to earth. Only the thing that hurts the emperor the most and taboos the most can bring the queen to eternal damnation.
The former court and the harem worked together to make the emperor suspicious of Hongshi, cutting off his chance of becoming the crown prince, and then used the poisoning incident to get rid of Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai.
Finally, the great secret of how the Queen framed Queen Chunyuan to death was revealed.
The emperor was furious. The thing he cared about most in his life was things related to Chun Yuan.
Only now did he realize that the person he loved most died at the hands of his sister.
In the end, he issued an edict that Ulanara would never see him again, and confined her to Jingren Palace.
This series of moves is deadly and thrilling.
But Zhen Huan is no longer the original Zhen Huan, but Nianhulu Zhen Huan.
From the day she returned to the palace, she gave up her love for the emperor. She was Concubine Xi, and she wanted revenge and to take back everything that belonged to her.
"Wonderful!"
"Amazing! The front court and the harem are moving together!"
"How cruel! Using the child in your belly as a knife!"
"There's no other way. A man's love is fleeting. Only guilt lasts forever."
"The Queen is even more cruel. She deposed Concubine Qi just to have a child!"
"In fact, cutting off Hongshi's yellow belt is the real killer move. It's equivalent to severing the queen's foundation!"
"That's right. A concubine without children is like a rootless duckweed. If the crown prince has a biological mother, then the queen's position will be very awkward. So she went to the mother and left the child behind!"
"The Queen's murder of Chun Yuan was truly heartbreaking! The Emperor was probably young at the time, indulging in love, and wouldn't have thought about it that way."
"Yes, think about it carefully. My sister took my place as the legitimate wife, and my only child died. How can I not feel resentment?"
"This illegitimate couple is truly amazing. The queen is vicious, and the emperor is no good either. They are truly a perfect match. Only such a cold-hearted couple can stay together for so long."
"I agree. Look at Sister Mei, Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, and Concubine Hua. When they first came, they were all young girls in love. Now, they are all vicious women with murderous intentions, and every move they make is life-threatening!"
"It's amazing, one thing after another, this big boss fight is really exciting!"
