Chapter 417, Masterpiece!
At this time.
Li Yun is sitting here, in the middle, as the lead actor, director, and screenwriter.
"Let the Bullets Fly".
Now, it has officially begun, and the premiere of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" has begun.
The audience scale of Let the Bullets Fly is definitely not bad. It can also be considered medium-sized. Many media came to watch the movie. Except for Tudou and Youku who did not come due to some personal reasons, the media gave face.
Unlike "The Crucible" back then, there were only a few people coming and the result was that they couldn't catch up with the hot ones.
certainly.
As for Li Yun's crossover this time, it is a big gimmick that his movie will be released in the same period as his "father".
In fact, the quality of the movie is not that important. This big gimmick is what makes people curious.
Gimmicks have always been the primary productive force of movies.
Everyone is curious about one thing.
How much of his father's skill can this son have? "The main attraction this time is the 'father-son battle', nothing else is that important."
All major media outlets still know what the main content of their reports should be this time.
It's a gimmick and an eye-catcher.
And the most eye-catching gimmick is nothing more than the box office battle between father and son.
illegitimate child.
This incident is Li Modu’s second-to-last stain.
His first stain was his son who was operating a sewing machine, the son who made him lose the role model of the times.
Compared with this Li Yun.
His son is an absolute loser and a joke.
Now, the more outstanding the illegitimate child is, the more it proves how failed his choice was and how failed his education was.
This time, Li Yun chose to schedule Let the Bullets Fly at the same time as his father's.
It may not necessarily mean that there is no tit-for-tat intention.
"It can be said that if Li Modu did not crush the opponent in all aspects this time, the pressure from public opinion would be enormous. Not only would his son not be able to compete with him, but he himself would also be under pressure."
At this time, Lu Zhengguang was watching this box office battle with great interest.
"Don't be happy too soon. There is no way our plan will lose to his cheap son. This is our first-line plan, produced by the most elite first-line team of our Bayi Factory." Liu Shanhe refuted his old rival Lu Zhengguang.
"Isn't the crew of Let the Bullets Fly also from your Bayi Film Studio?"
"You compare the second-tier team with the first-tier team?"
"Haha. When it comes to filming, it all depends on the level of the director and the actors. If we have to calculate based on the team, his influence is less than a fraction of that."
"Then the director's level is even more incomparable. In terms of years of experience and past achievements, which one is not better than Li Modu? The only thing we should discuss now is, how much can Li Yun do as well as Li Modu? Can he get the same box office results as him? This is the most important thing, and this is what you should care about."
At this time Liu Shanhe said lightly.
A few things.
This is the limit Liu Shanhe expected.
But now Liu Shanhe had to admit that Li Yun did have his own talents.
Absolutely outstanding talent.
Otherwise, China would not have been honored at the Asian Film Window.
The quality that can be recognized by South Korea, one of the most hypocritical nations in the world, is definitely not simple.
But now.
Li Yun launched an attack on the topic that Li Mo was most familiar with, and it was a topic that he himself did not understand.
Main theme plus comedy.
This is a combination that I can't think of no matter how hard I try.
He always felt.
Such serious things should not be played with.
It shouldn't be taken so seriously as entertainment.
The temperament of this paradoxical rhythm.
It is easy to create an awkward feeling of dislocation.
"What a pity! If Li Mo hadn't abandoned his wife and children, would the outcome have been different?"
Liu Shanhe had no other feelings towards Li Modu's other son except disdain.
He is really a pure second-generation rich and a waste.
"What's the point of saying more now? They can't reconcile now."
"Why can't they reconcile? After all, they are of the same blood and are still father and son." Liu Shanhe refuted Lu Zhengguang. If possible, he really hoped that the father and son could understand each other and then become his disciples.
At this time, Lu Zhengguang sneered.
"What a ridiculous reason. Your philosophy is as old as your thoughts. Not all parents are qualified to be called relatives. The current Li Modu only has one meaning for Li Yun. He is the one to be surpassed and the one to be defeated. That's all."
"As expected, there is nothing much to say between me and a rebellious old man like you. Now let's see if it's true as I said, that old ginger is still spicy."
For Li Modu.
On the subject matter he is most familiar with.
There is no possibility of defeat at all.
This is a big premise.
Now it all depends on Li Yun. How much meat can he get from the vicious tiger Li Modu? This is a curious idea.
Same subject matter.
It will definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers, a life-and-death battle.
"I'm leaving. I have to go watch Let the Bullets Fly. I don't want to miss his second movie."
Lu Zhengguang put down his teacup and said goodbye.
The wind blows and the clouds fly.
Under the elegant poems of Master Tang.
The movie officially began.
The rhythm of the movie at the beginning is light and cheerful, in line with the comedy tone.
Eat hot pot and sing songs.
Then drive the train.
He was robbed by bandits.
The horse bandit leader played by Jiang Wen.
The county magistrate’s train was intercepted.
"Where is the money hidden? Tell me, or you'll be killed if you can't tell me before the alarm goes off."
“Ahhhh!”
Ma Bangde, who was singing just now, is now crying louder than anyone else.
But what greeted him was just a cold remark.
Crying? Crying also counts as time.
In a humorous yet tense confrontation.
The treacherous character played by Ge You.
There is a sense of audacity in the humor.
Buy an official position.
This entry point is really bold enough.
I have no money now.
But after buying an official position.
Then you will have money.
So a group of horse bandits, together with a county magistrate who had fallen on hard times and bought an official position, came together.
Just prepare to go to a place called Goose City.
Walk to Goose City.
This is the feeling at the beginning.
It really showcases the acting skills of Jiang Wen and Ge You.
I have to admit that watching these two movie kings acting together is indeed a visual enjoyment.
A slightly humorous scene.
The two of them performed it perfectly.
At least from the beginning.
You can see it.
The director can really make comedies.
"Holy crap, the guy who made a movie like The Crucible can actually make a comedy?"
The media people at Sina found it a little unbelievable.
Her name is Li Mengyi.
Previously, she did an exclusive interview and review of The Crucible on Sina Movie Channel. She watched the movie thoroughly and could clearly feel the film's vigorous power.
And the expressions I want to make.
That unparalleled feeling of power.
It is really admirable.
To be able to produce such a powerful and thought-provoking work.
The director must be a deep, sensitive and thoughtful man.
However, the frivolous and playful feeling that comes with Bullets Flying is indeed far from the melting pot movie of that year.
It's a bit too far away.
While making her feel a little uncomfortable, she also admired director Li Yun, who was truly a genius with a great sense of humor.
As a comedy movie, the sense of humor is "poof"
Laughed out loud.
But the main theme is not yet seen, but it is a bit anti-main theme. What is the purpose of buying an official position? To make money, such lines have appeared. The most important thing is the two points of the play between the two movie kings, Jiang Wen and Ge You.
The acting between the great actor Ge You and Jiang Wen is like a competition of acting.
The drama between the two of them is exciting enough.
It gives people a feeling that inserting a third party would be redundant.
Li Mengyi was worried.
Wait, will the appearance of the third lead actor disrupt this humorous harmony?
Wait for Li Yun to appear.
That's the feeling he usually gives people.
Can his acting skills hold up? That is an unknown.
"This opening gives people a sense of beauty that has passed the censorship, and it's full of fun."
This opening gives me the feeling of Zhuo Wei.
It's just a lot of fun.
It’s so funny.
"Mr. Zhuo Wei, I think you may have underestimated the strength of our film."
Jiang Wen said with narrowed eyes.
The strength of this movie's review.
But there are still experts.
"Are there any other experts?"
At this moment, Zhuo Wei was a little curious.
After lying across the water.
We came to a place called Goose City.
The shots here are interesting.
The road is shallow and the water is deep.
Under the sound and light effects of the movie.
The welcoming team that welcomed the county magistrate.
Their figures all became somewhat strange. "Mr. Huang has arrived, may Mr. Huang be blessed!"
At this time, when everyone thought that Li Yun would appear.
When the rickshaw was opened, it turned out to be a hat.
Top hat.
A homophone for politeness.
Li Yun did not appear here.
But this time, the welcome was full of intimidation.
Indeed, this kind of feeling is quite strong.
"Here comes with bad intentions."
"You are the one who is coming."
Let the Bullets Fly gradually makes people immersed in it.
It's not just one thing that makes people sigh.
This line is so cleverly designed.
What a gimmick of a father-son battle.
Most of the media present had already forgotten about it.
Start focusing on what’s in front of you.
Focus on enjoying the movie in front of you.
Rather than the gimmick of a father-son battle.
Then the image of a middle-aged man entered the camera.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
One was wearing a black dress.
He has a vicious look on his face and a rebellious look in his eyes, and he doesn't look like a good guy.
He is Mr. Huang, Huang Silang.
At least in terms of image.
He just doesn't look like a new generation actor.
At least the image corresponds.
There is a perfect fit.
"It's too late. The previous county governors transferred the tax revenue of Goose City to the past 90 years. The people have become poor and there is no more money to be squeezed!"
"I never thought of taking money from poor people."
"If you don't take money from the poor, who will you take the money from?" The lawyer was very confused about Zhang Mazi's question.
"I earn money from whoever has money."
"Have you ever been a county magistrate?" The lawyer said impatiently, "Come, come, let me tell you, a county magistrate must come up with all sorts of excuses to get the gentry to pay taxes and donations. Only after they pay, the common people will follow suit. After getting the money, the gentry's money is returned in full, and the people's money is divided into 30% and 70%."
"Only 70%!"
"Seventy percent belongs to others. If you can get thirty percent, you still have to look at Huang Silang's mood."
"Him?" At this time, Zhang Mazi looked at the top hat next to him and asked his question.
"Yes, that's him."
"I came all the way here just to see his face?"
"right."
"Then if I become the county magistrate, won't I be begging on my knees?"
"If you insist on saying so, buying an official position to make money is like begging on your knees."
This scene.
It's another scene between Jiang Wen and Ge You.
The word "bold" cannot describe this line enough; it can almost be described as outrageous.
This line is a bit too bold!
Of course, it is bold.
This line is also a pleasure.
Watch the two movie kings perform together.
No grand scenes, no high budget.
There is only pure chamber drama, watching these two people go wild.
It’s really a visual enjoyment.
This kind of role requires solid dialogue and acting skills to achieve.
And now.
Li Yun's writing and dialogue skills.
It seems to have achieved this.
Let the two actors act wildly.
At this point, the conflict between Zhang Mazi and Huang Silang became obvious.
A man who wanted to buy an official position and make money came here, and he even wanted to make money from rich people.
He doesn't take money from poor people.
He wanted to extort Huang Silang's money.
That arrogant Huang Silang.
The entire plot of Let the Bullets Fly does not feel obscure or difficult to understand.
On the contrary, it is very direct and clear.
For example, Mr. Liu, who put aside his stomach and just looked at the bowls of noodles.
It is here that people suddenly feel it.
This seems to be a comedy movie.
Where is the injustice? It is the injustice done to the martial arts examiner! This line is truly eye-opening.
When Liuzi performed a caesarean section to testify against himself.
The scene was quite shocking.
This comedy movie doesn't seem to be humorous or light-hearted.
But it is very heavy.
Quite heavy.
A film that makes people laugh, but at the same time they feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts.
That feeling is indescribable.
I felt cold in my heart but laughed at the same time.
It's obviously a comedy movie.
This is the first time I have seen such a peculiar comedy movie.
At this point, everyone has stopped caring about other things and has focused all their attention on the movie itself.
And until now.
The villain Huang Silang did not have any direct confrontation with the other two.
I don’t know what the scene will be like when they are facing each other.
It makes people feel very curious.
Next comes the Hongmen Banquet scene.
The close-up performance of the three people solved a question: Can Li Yun support the performance of three people and dance with the two outstanding movie kings in the same shot ?
And the results proved one thing.
Li Yun can do it.
He can do it.
This scene even seems a little unbelievable.
Just like a stage play.
Three people are on the stage.
Playing their respective roles.
A stage play.
A person named Ma.
A Huang Silang.
The acting between three people , one master, is an absolute enjoyment.
Regardless of the audience present.
Or for these leading actors.
It’s a great enjoyment.
It is an unforgettable and wonderful experience.
"If you ask me which scene of Let the Bullets Fly impressed me the most, it would undoubtedly be this scene." At this moment, Ge You was looking at the big screen with an unforgettable look on his face.
It's hard to forget.
This scene is about three people racing wildly.
Test each other and find out each other's bottom line.
To explore, to test, to copy.
It seems like he won't stop until he has pulled out the other person's underwear.
The temptations in the script are also very exciting.
Lines, scenes, everything.
Along the way, the emotions have been dominated by the rhythm of the movie.
This is such a dark era.
Buying official positions to make money, framing others, and being a bully.
In this Republic of China era.
These things happen as a matter of course.
If Madhan hadn't come.
If he had not intercepted Master Tang's train before, Goose City would still be that Goose City, the Goose City shrouded in darkness.
Never see the light of day.
The people's justice was not served, and they themselves were even sold to America as laborers as Huang Silang's assets.
Li Yun, Ge You, Jiang Wen.
The three people represent their respective identities and different positions. Especially Li Yun, he portrays the evil and greed vividly.
He is evil, greedy, unscrupulous, and has an extremely perverse personality. He values his own interests more than his own life. He can frame an innocent person, turn black into white, and even make the jelly stall owner who has suffered great injustice shout in public that the martial arts examiner is innocent!
He completely fits the general public's definition of evil in this era.
And make their own choices.
Throughout the entire movie, the amount of information revealed is almost explosive.
There are also many famous scenes.
There are so many that it’s overwhelming.
There is so much information that before people can even think about the amount of information contained in the previous scene, the next scene with explosive information has already come.
Humorous and funny.
After Zhang Muzhi sacrificed many of his brothers.
The decisive battle that was triggered.
The final decisive battle.
Follow me with gun in hand.
Zhang Muzhi seemed to want to lead the people to a victorious battle, to lead them to raise their weapons, to resist the anger and to take back what belonged to them.
As the protagonist, he should do so.
That is his privilege.
The rights he has.
That's what everyone thinks.
The result was surprising.
Someone did start a fight against Huang Silang.
Everything seemed to be within the expectations of the hero Zhang Muzhi.
A hero, a hero.
He will lead his people to fight to victory.
Only later.
It was not Zhang Muzhi who ignited the anger and started this battle.
But he is Huang Silang's substitute.
The anger of the people does not need to be channeled.
The people themselves will make the historical choice.
The people will choose history!
The other side is in the cinema.
Lu Zhengguang took off his farsighted glasses in the corner of the movie theater.
I silently gave my own evaluation of Let the Bullets Fly in my heart.
“It’s a masterpiece.”
