Chapter 470: A low-profile version of The Avengers?
"Mom, thank you for coming to watch the movie with me."
Before the movie started, Liu Qianqian thanked her mother first.
It seems that he is still a little at a loss about the current situation.
There will be a strange feeling of uneasiness.
"Actually there aren't many movies to watch, so let's just watch his work. It just so happens that my mother and I haven't watched a movie properly before."
There was a gentleness in Liu Lili's eyes, as if it reminded her that she had not been with her daughter for a long time and had not done anything together with her.
This time, I watched the movie partly out of curiosity, and partly out of some strange guilt.
"I thought, Mom, you only knew how to watch Western movies."
What Liu Xixi was talking about was of course the Avengers, which is already at its peak. The power of this movie is now unparalleled.
It is impossible that my mother does not have this interest.
However, the answer Liu Qianqian got seemed both reasonable and unexpected.
It turned out that Liu Lili had already seen this movie. As a high-quality partner of Hollywood, she watched the English version before introducing it.
In Liu Lili's words, this is the ultimate achievement of commercial films. Everything is done from a commercial perspective.
It is positioned as the ultimate popcorn work.
It is a work that people approach with a mindset of having fun, and the biggest feeling Liu Lili gets from this work is that she is willing to spend money on it and pay for movie tickets for it. After watching it, the biggest feeling she has is that it is worth it.
That's enough.
This is more than enough, and it is a high praise for a film or a product.
Liu Lili wanted to say that she had not seen such a pure product for a long time. She had to admit that Marvel had reached its limit on this road and had achieved a level that no one could match.
Liu Lili thought that she had already watched all the best works of this period. Now that the best ones have been watched, the other works don't matter, just do whatever you want. "Then mom, how much do you think our Chinese-language films, in general, are behind Hollywood works?" Liu Qianqian asked in a low voice.
To this.
Liu Lili was very calm, but she did not lower her voice.
"About twenty years."
Xie Qingya, who was not far away, found this a bit harsh and just smiled slightly.
"Twenty years is really not a short time. It's almost like a whole era."
"It's just a difference of eras. This is an objective fact. Otherwise, why would so many outstanding artists come out? Good birds choose the trees to roost in." Liu Lili said frankly, not afraid of offending others.
She is outspoken and doesn't hide her thoughts. "You are really frank, Ms. Liu, to praise our rivals in the arena of our domestic films."
"I naturally have my own reasons." Liu Lili paused and said, "Although we are behind by an era, we are still close to those who are catching up."
Liu Qianqian next to her blushed, and Liu Lili was staring at her when she said this.
If it were in the past, she would definitely be stunned and not know what it meant, but now, she understands.
The pursuer has a place to get close to. This pursuer is Brother Li. When Li Yun received this recognition, Liu Qianqian could actually feel the throbbing and joy in her heart. Liu Lili admitted that Li Yun was someone who could be approached. However, Xie Qingya smiled faintly.
"The one who catches up, why can't he be the one who surpasses?"
"You can't get fat in one bite." Liu Lili shook her head. The Western film industry has been developing for a hundred years, and you say you want to surpass it. At least, Liu Lili knows without watching other movies that the strongest work this year must be "Avengers", and no matter what the release date is, it will not change this result.
She has hit the 'ceiling'.
At this time, Liu Qianqian interrupted the chat.
"Ha, the movie has started."
At this moment, the movie started playing. From the very beginning, Jacky Cheung came out and explained the "Republic" and "Democracy" from his perspective.
Can we see that day come? I may not, but you certainly can.
Then, with a bang of a gunshot, this guest star of the Four Heavenly Kings was killed instantly.
This made Liu Lili slightly stunned. She thought that Jacky Cheung's status should mean that he should have a role, but she didn't expect that he died at the very beginning . This was unexpected. You know, Jacky Cheung's appearance fee is definitely not cheap.
Or maybe this is just a friendly guest appearance. A feeling where one feels the script is so good that one comes to make a guest appearance.
His head exploded on the spot.
The person he played was Yang Hengyun, who was assassinated by the Qing court in 1910.
At this time, Li Yun also appeared on the big screen.
The fierce and sturdy eyes and the murderous aura revealed by him made it clear at first glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.
It was he who killed Yang Hengyun.
"The evil words confuse the people and they don't know what they mean."
Yan Xiaoguo shook his long braid and left without seeking fame or credit.
Leaving behind those panicked students and Yang Hengyun's body, staring at the sky with his eyes wide open . At this point, the background of the story also appears here.
The Siege of the City in October and the Xinhai Revolution, this is the background of the story, simple and clear.
Add some adaptation here.
This makes people feel fully involved.
A period of history well known to the Chinese people, a period of humiliating history, China's last feudal dynasty, and the humiliating history of modern times, all happened in this era and at this time.
The main plot of the story is very clear. Sun Yat-sen is going to come back from the island country to call on the heroes to start the Xinhai Revolution. When Empress Dowager Cixi, the last ruler of the Qing Dynasty, receives this news, she will not allow this to happen.
So he sent his most trusted subordinate to a small island in Hong Kong to hunt down Sun Yat-sen and prevent him from coming back.
At this moment, Liu Lili's eyes lit up slightly.
This plot structure is very classic.
Even for her, this plot structure was very familiar, as the Avengers she had seen at that time was also like this.
A group of Avengers with different expressions go to protect the earth and stop the invasion of aliens. In fact, the rhythm of the story is no different.
This made Liu Lili feel strange.
This weird feeling slightly lowered his expectations for the movie. The Avengers in the Avengers Alliance were paved and shaped through one movie after another, but the movie in front of him only had two hours to tell the whole story.
That's not enough.
At least it shouldn't be enough for her to like these characters.
There is not enough time.
He was a gambler who was addicted to gambling. His wife and daughter left him because of it. He was good at martial arts and was a man who could sell his soul for money. Whether it was news about Sun Yat-sen or the local opera troupe, he sold all the information to Yan Xiaoguo.
Even if the Qing Dynasty killer did not hand him the money directly, but threw it into the dirt, he would bend down to pick it up and say thank you humbly.
He used the most humble way. He had no dignity at all.
A worker who carries rice, a servant.
A commoner selling flowers.
Actors in a troupe.
Businessmen, students, and a newspaper owner who is afraid of blood.
These are the characters that have appeared so far.
Jomarie, on the other side, was watching the premiere of this movie on the other side.
“It always feels a bit like the Avengers??”
"The plot rhythm is exactly the same!" Wang Chen looked at the movie in front of him and suddenly laughed out loud. He also watched The Avengers, which can be said to be a very good commercial movie. The various heroes in it made him overwhelmed. The interpretation of the plot and the special effects were very exciting. Now, The Siege of October in front of him is exactly the same as The Avengers in terms of plot rhythm and narrative structure.
It also brings a similar feeling, a similar movie-watching experience.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But it is completely low-end.
It is definitely a low-profile version, unbelievable. Actors, gamblers, rickshaw pullers, this bunch of incomprehensible people, if they were born in that era, they would just be a bunch of background boards.
When the plot begins, Li Yutang, a businessman and leader, actually gathers this group of unconventional guys to serve as bodyguards.
You should hire someone professional.
"Weren't those professionals killed by gamblers in the very beginning?" Qiao Mary looked at Wang Chen with a strange expression, knowing that this was reasonable.
Even though she is a foreigner, she watches the movie more seriously than Wang Chen.
"At the beginning, those people were not that professional either. Now they have fallen to the point of opening a theater. They are in the same situation."
Wang Chen now realized that he had not been paying enough attention to the plot, and began to look for ways to make up for it.
However, Qiao Mary is more in agreement with what Wang Chen cares about.
The team formed by these people is so poor and weak. Compared with the professional killers of the Qing court, these people look so weak and helpless.
What role can these people play on the eve of the October Revolution? From Liu Lili's perspective, they are highly similar to "The Avengers".
Even Li Yun felt a little...
This is the Chinese version of the Avengers.
No, no, not an avenger, but a defender, but a protector.
Defend, protect.
But compared to the Avengers, these people are just low-profile versions of Infinity, without the invincible serum and radiation, and without the high-tech armor covering their bodies.
Weak.
They are a group of extremely weak people, a group of humble things that are in the dust.
"Do they have any special abilities that allow them to stop those vicious Qing Dynasty killers?" At this moment, Liu Lili asked Li Yun beside her.
Because until this point, she still felt that this group of people had some special abilities.
Able to play an important role in defending Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
Isn't that what the Avengers are all about?
Mutants injected with super serum, invincible iron man covered in high-tech armor, sharpshooters, super agents, giants, each of them has his own unique skills, and each of them has his own outstanding qualities.
At least it gives people a different look and feel.
They can resist powerful enemies in different postures.
But the most important thing is, "In fact, what you doubt is not their ability, but their identity. You must be wondering how people like them are qualified to participate in such a great event. The October Siege and the Revolution of 1911 were a war of great men. In the history books, whoever left his name was not a famous gentleman, who was not a majestic master? Coachmen, gamblers, and actors are all very unpresentable."
"They don't deserve to be a part of something so great, that's what you think."
Li Yun used his eyes to see through Aunt Liu's thoughts.
When seeing this, the emotion Liu Lili felt was pity. She felt sorry for these people. They were obviously just the most humble people, without any special abilities, but people like them were going to sacrifice their lives for an unknown goal and throw away their precious lives for someone they didn't understand or know.
They were deceived, tricked by sweet words and sent to die.
Liu Lili also seems to be frank about this.
Should they understand? In this era, even staying alive is something that requires a lot of effort.
Coachmen, actors, beggars, gamblers.
It is a very commendable and good thing that they can live in their own little piece of land.
They have no idea what revolution is.
They know nothing.
They did not understand Sun Yat-sen or the revolution. This was an inevitable consequence of their identities.
They don't understand, so even if they die, they are just sending themselves to die, not sacrificing themselves. Maybe if they die in the end like Li Yutang and his son, it will cause some waves.
It's really depressing to let some ignorant people die. Maybe the gathering of big names and this background can make people feel a little interested.
Maybe this is the final highlight.
"You want to use their heroic deaths to create tear-jerking moments. From a creator's perspective, this approach is easy to see through. Some people may buy into it, but to me, it's too naive." Liu Lili continued to comment on the script. She had already guessed what would happen next.
It exaggerates their emotions, exaggerates their sacrifices, and finally makes people cry.
Especially after watching The Avengers.
I just feel that October Siege is a low-profile version of The Avengers, or even a flawed version.
Li Yun smiled slightly at this time, as if he was disdainful of Liu Lili's suppression.
This kind of self-confidence.
It seemed that Liu Lili's sharp comments had been anticipated.
"Aunt Liu, why don't you finish watching the movie first?"
"Okay." Liu Lili shook her head lightly. With her movie-watching experience, she thought she had seen through all the truth.
That's what she originally thought.
She felt so until the action to protect Sun Yat-sen began.
