Chapter 390, 8 points!

At this moment, Liu Dehua, as a spectator

There are tears in the corners of my eyes, and the hot blood is flowing in my chest.

Just when Ip Man calmly faced death, but his spirit lived on forever.

Ip Man at this moment.

Just dead.

He is alive too.

The surging spirit of Chinese martial arts ignites emotions, not the exquisite martial arts performances, but the indomitable spirit contained beneath the exquisite martial arts.

This spirit is Chinese martial arts.

This kind of inheritance is Chinese martial arts.

There is no need to let some crappy traditional martial arts masters do crappy publicity and make people think that kung fu is just like what is shown in TV dramas.

When Ip Man ignited the spirit, the image of a great master had already been established.

Very three-dimensional.

For this reason, in Liu Dehua's heart, Li Yun's movie has been upgraded from entertainment to excellence.

An excellent work of art.

At this time, Li Yun was also watching the end of the movie.

There is a blank space here.

The blank space here probably refers to Ip Man's final survival and death, which is different from the original Ip Man, where it was clear that Ip Man survived.

After all, if he doesn't survive, how can we make a second part?

And in the version shot by Li Yun.

He also survived.

Live a more noble life.

It is not just physical survival, but spiritual continuation.

All those audience members became Ip Man.

The people of the country, who were once numb and dared not resist, also started a fire of resistance.

This is Ip Man.

The spirit of Chinese martial arts represented.

"You are greater than I am."

"Thank you for the compliment."

At this moment, Li Yun felt that the huge cinema was empty, with only himself and the young man in Tang suit next to him.

We can no longer hear the praises from our media friends and Liu Dehua, nor can we hear Ye Weixin and Zhen Zidan expressing their excitement about the completion of the work.

The only voice that could be heard was that of Ye Wen who was standing next to him.

"The real me can't be so great. If it were me, when Colonel Sato asked me to choose and gave me a way to live, I would gladly accept it. I would choose a path that is not against the law for the sake of my wife and son."

At this time, Ye Wen sighed slightly: "So this is your choice, not mine, and I can only thank you for using the name of Ye Wen to make the choice you would make."

"You are greater than I am, my friend, thank you too."

"Take another path for my destiny."

Li Yun felt that the cinema became noisy again after the show ended.

It was only at this time that I saw the media interviewing me.

But I just got distracted.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now. Is there anything you want to talk about?"

"Excuse me, your national martial arts skills are so exquisite and orthodox. Have you ever consulted a real teacher from the martial arts association?"

"The Wing Chun teacher from the Wushu Association."

Li Yun asked doubtfully: "Who is it?"

"Didn't you say that your martial arts are authentic? And the teacher Milan Fang from the Huaxia Martial Arts Association is the descendant of Ip Man's disciples. Her Wing Chun is authentic, and you..."

“Is it possible that my Wing Chun is also authentic, but I didn’t learn it from her?”

Li Yun said confidently, how could the Wing Chun that the system gave me not be authentic?

However, Milan Fang has always claimed that he is the only authentic and genuine Wing Chun master and does not recognize the legitimacy of other schools.

But if Li Yun considers himself to be the orthodox one, then the successor of Wing Chun in the Wushu Association has lost his correctness. The keen Hong Kong media immediately smelled the big stuff in this.

Some do.

In addition to the quality of the film itself.

There are other places that the media also needs to explore.

Interesting heat.

The first day box office figures have also come out. Ip Man's performance was 5 million in a single day, which is actually quite good, but compared to the 30 million on the first day of The Warlords, it is indeed a bit dwarfed.

In terms of the ratio of investment to box office, "Ip Man" is actually slightly better than "The Warlords".

This was actually a bit unexpected.

You should know that the investment in "Ip Man" was only 300 to 400 million.

Compared to "The Warlords", where the single actor's pay was over 100 million, this is nothing.

It's not an investment of that magnitude at all.

At this time, a long and eloquent essay by the Chinese Wushu Association was circulating on Weibo.

"This is not Chinese martial arts. It has no legitimacy at all. It has not been authorized by our Wushu Association, and we were not notified afterwards. We are angry and disappointed about this, especially after watching the movie. We all agree that this is not what Chinese martial arts are like."

This is a joint statement from Ma Guohu, Milan Fang and other masters of traditional Chinese martial arts, and it even has an official stamp of verification.

They are the masters of the martial arts association.

The orthodox successor.

When they issued the joint statement, "Ip Man", which used Chinese martial arts as a gimmick, was already under attack from all sides in public opinion.

Especially when they took out the movie receipts as a record, it was already completely convincing.

These titled masters of traditional Chinese martial arts have actually watched movies.

That’s why people say this Chinese martial art is not authentic.

It was extremely convincing, and their fans and followers also joined in the cheering.

"Luckily I didn't buy a movie ticket, otherwise it would be a waste of money. Even the orthodox descendants say it's not authentic, so there's no point in watching this movie. I want to watch the fights, why not watch a more exciting Hollywood movie? Why not watch The Warlords?"

"I didn't buy the ticket, luckily, those fancy fights are all fake. They dare to claim that they are real fights. They haven't even cultivated their true energy and internal strength, and they dare to say that they are practicing traditional Chinese martial arts?"

"If you don't cultivate your true Qi, you will end up with nothing when you grow old. I know that Li Yun. He may have good external skills, but without true Qi, he is ultimately a joke."

"Is Qigong so magical?"

At this time, Li Lianjie was holding his mobile phone and looking at Weibo with a confused look on his face.

"I've been practicing martial arts for so long, but I never knew there was such a thing as martial arts. Did they take the settings in martial arts movies as real?"

“So, that group of martial arts masters are more like stage actors than people practicing martial arts, and this so-called competition is the setting of their stage play. But unfortunately, many people believe in this ridiculous comedy.” Chen Kexin said with a sigh of relief at this time.

"The movie Ip Man is in bad luck. Don't you think that guy Ye Weixin should just give them some money? Now these guys are making a fuss. Li Lianjie, if it were you, what would you do?"

"I might fight them on the spot. If they can beat me, then what's the harm in giving them the money? I also want to see their so-called internal strength."

"You might really have to pay then. Their bodies can't stand your attack." Chen Kexin joked at this time.

The two of them were joking.

The topic was also skipped.

The reason why they are paying attention to the movie "Ip Man" again is because its first-day box office ratio is surprisingly good compared to the investment.

This shows that both the publicity and the subject matter have an audience.

This movie has a rising trend.

However, the scale is still much smaller than "The Warlords".

Not really an opponent.

All we can say is that the first-day box office is worth a look, but that's all: a clichéd director, a clichéd producer, and a fledgling new director.

What kind of movie can be made?

To say how good it is.

It is definitely not better than "The Warlords" which is made with Hollywood technology.

From the perspective of the volume of commercial films.

This seems to be a true truth.

At this time, Chen Kexin was also silent and nervous.

After all, the success of "The Warlords" will directly affect his next work "The Siege of the City" in which he will work closely with BGI.

A movie that is even bigger than "The Warlords".

It also adheres to the creative style of "The Warlords", and even has a higher investment volume than "The Warlords".

A bigger cast.

If I have to say, "The Warlords" was just a test run for "October Siege".

This is a trial work with a huge cast, and only HuaDa Film and Television can afford such a thing.

“I hope the audience will buy into our approach.”

The current first wave of box office feedback can only prove the box office appeal of the publicity and promotion as well as the cast to fans.

The key points include the box office and public feedback.

Until Douban’s first-day ratings came out.

The score of "The Warlords" is 7.1.

A score that fits the tone of a commercial blockbuster.

"I don't know how to read this score. What do you think?" Li Lianjie looked at Chen Kexin.

"It's not bad. At least for commercial films, this is a pretty good result. Generally speaking, if you can get this result, there should be no problem in making back your investment." Chen Kexin breathed a sigh of relief, there should be no problem in making back his investment.

For business investment.

Profits come only after capital is guaranteed.

After word of mouth came out, Chen Kexin felt that it was stable.

However, when I took a quick look next door,

I was dumbfounded.

On the other hand, the score for "Ip Man" is a bit ridiculously high.

8.2 points.

This initial release score is already higher than that of ordinary art films.

Generally, only those movies that are critically acclaimed but not commercially successful can get this kind of score, but now this score appears on a commercial movie.

"Am I seeing things? 8.2 points?!" Chen Kexin was a little shocked by the score.

What a high score! An eight-point opening.

Not only that, on the second day, the box office had already doubled to 10 million.

It doubled directly.

The main creators of "The Warlords" were dumbfounded, but the people from the Wushu Association were also really upset.

Ma Guobao, Mi Lanfang and other so-called orthodox descendants originally wanted to watch "Ip Man" struggling in the quagmire of the abyss.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But he didn't struggle.

The next day the box office increased.

"It doesn't make sense! Didn't we say that this martial art is not authentic enough? Why are there still so many spectators? Are they blind?"

Ma Guobao angrily scolded these audiences who did not understand Chinese martial arts, asking why they gave money to these people, as they were insulting the traditional martial arts of China.

You actually gave them money for the tickets! What is the composition of this? Or is the box office fake? The most important thing is.

It is totally unreasonable that "Ip Man" has achieved such success despite being so criticized on its own side.

Even Milanfang didn't expect this at this time.

"That doesn't make sense."

But now the result was told to these martial arts masters.

"Ip Man" achieved quite good box office results, and even doubled its box office the next day.

It reached 10 million.

A box office revenue of tens of millions.

Even Ye Weixin couldn't have expected this box office success.

How did it achieve this box office despite all the negative news?

Even if the quality of "Ip Man" was pretty good, it wouldn't have spread so quickly.

Generally, the period of quality fermentation should be about one week.

But if you ferment directly the next day, it won’t be because of the quality.

Or maybe there are external reasons.

Some unknown external reasons.

But Ye Weixin and his team soon found the reason, a reason that was absolutely incredible based on online public opinion.

The main contributor to this wave of publicity.

It turned out to be that group of traditional martial arts masters.

"What's going on? Is this the reason you found?" Yuan Jinbao was stunned and said, "They didn't help us with any publicity, and they are still smearing us. How can they say that all the credit is theirs?"

At this time, Ye Weixin's mouth twitched.

“Is there a possibility that they are the minority, or even the clowns?”

At this time, we have entered the era of the Internet.

We have entered the era of young people.

With the explosion of information, many things spread very quickly.

In the past, horse carriages were slow, but now the Internet lanes are fast.

People are not stupid.

These are masters of traditional martial arts and qigong.

What exactly is it?!

How long can they deceive people with their tricks? They have even become clowns on the Internet without realizing it. The number of people who don't trust them is far greater than the number of people who do. When they were smearing "Ip Man",

In fact, many people are watching the joke.

Some people even chose to watch the movie because of their smear campaign.

After all, two negatives equal a positive.

What you oppose might actually be a good thing?

So the second wave of box office came.

The unexpected has come.

This forced Ye Weixin to admit one thing. If he had agreed to these clowns from the Wushu Association, there might not have been such a publicity effect.

Their denial actually had a positive effect.

This feeling is a little funny, even a bit laughable.

But for movies, it's exciting news.

It's a powerful shot in the arm.

If the box office trend continues like this.

It's not surprising to have a fight in "The Warlords".

"Our popularity is still rising, and everyone is discussing Ip Man." At this time, Ye Weixin looked at the computer and murmured: "It seems that we can meet each other."

From the number of ratings on Douban.

The number of people who rated Hupu.

The participation in rating the movie "Ip Man" is quite high.

High ratings and a large number of ratings mean high fan stickiness and high engagement.

I got more emotions from the movie.

“Let the heat run high for a while now.”

For Ye Weixin, the only regret is probably the direction of discussion in this movie.

They are all Li Yun.

No matter who they are, as long as they are related to this movie, the person they mention must be Li Yun, the producer, part-time director and screenwriter, who seems to have been forgotten aside.

If it were any other time, Yip Wai-hsin would even clarify on the Internet with his real name that he should be the biggest contributor to the movie. Only with "Ip Man" could Yip Wai-hsin really not say how much credit he had for the character creation and making the most important character flesh and blood.

Literary and martial arts scenes.

Li Yun is unique.

As if they had agreed, Cheng Shilong and Zhou Xingxing returned to the teahouse, ordered their favorite chicken feet and siu mai, as well as some Cantonese dim sum, and the two of them reminisced like good friends.

At this time, Cheng Shilong was eating chicken feet while talking.

"How did we get you to watch that movie? Did that Xiao Li give you any surprises?"

As for the box office.

No matter what kind of achievements "Ip Man" and "The Warlords" made, it was too easy for Cheng Shilong.

They all reached the top.

Much more powerful than superstars.

International superstar!

In Chengshilong's eyes, Li Lianjie was just a junior following behind him.

"So what do you think of this movie?" Zhou Xingxing asked Cheng Shilong about his attitude towards "The Warlords".

For this premiere, Cheng Shilong chose a completely opposite viewing route from Zhou Xingxing.

I went to see "The Warlords".

Cheng Shilong's attitude towards this movie.

Nodded and shook his head.

"Don't riddle me about our relationship."

"What is our relationship? Friends?"

"I guess so. Rivals and friends, they are not necessarily opposites, right?"

"Hehe." Cheng Shilong smiled and continued, "How should I put it? I still approve of the quality of this movie. It is very friendly to an older audience like me. Whether it is the action scenes, brotherhood, or the literary drama of court intrigue, it is all very enjoyable. If I were to give it a score, the actors' performance would be nine points, and the script would be seven points."

"You gave such a high evaluation, basically only seven points?" Zhou Xingxing was slightly surprised.

"Well, the movie is indeed a good one."

Cheng Shilong touched his chin and said, "But his script has too many obscure parts, many political dramas, and some mixed metaphors. There is too much information. For a rough man like me, even if I think carefully while watching the movie, I may not be able to fully reproduce what the movie expresses."

Political metaphors and court disputes, it's not surprising to have these things in a movie.

But as a commercial film.

If too many of these things are mixed in, it will become a burden to the literary drama.

"After watching I watched Ip Man, I found it to be the complete opposite of your The Warlords. It doesn't have too many metaphors, and even the expression of emotions is straightforward. A three-year-old child can understand what the movie is about."

At this time Zhou Xingxing paused and said.

"As for Li Yun's performance."

"What? The young man you like." Cheng Shilong was already a little eager. When he heard Stephen Chow say that the expression of the movie was not complicated, he wanted to go and see it.

What really surprised Cheng Shilong was Zhou Xingxing's evaluation of Li Yun.

If he continues to make Hong Kong movies.

Li Yun is the next superstar.

This is now the highest title in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry.

Four Heavenly Kings.

Add one more person.

The fifth king!
