Golden Age 1990

Chapter 294 A Song of Ice and Fire? "Assassin of Qin" and "The King of Comedy"!

"I don't understand. How come the characters in it speak dialect?"

"I don't understand. People in movies seem to be very extreme."

"I feel like a psycho."

"They really seem to be going crazy."

"They are all big-name actors with great acting skills, but I really can't understand them."

"What's this picture of?"

The movie "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" has definitely attracted the most attention.

This is Director Chen's latest masterpiece, and it's also a blockbuster that has been in the works for so many years.

It has been publicized for a long time, and what is even more special is that this movie was directly announced before it was released.

This is an international blockbuster!

Because it will be released in Japan, this news is true, that is, it will definitely be released in Japan.

After all, this film has investment from Kadokawa Shoten, so there won’t be any big problems in releasing it in Japan.

In fact, as far as we ordinary people are concerned, we Chinese have a good impression of Kadokawa Bookstore.

In particular, everyone should have studied Mr. Lu Xun’s articles. Kadokawa Shoten was one of the publishers at that time. In addition, Kadokawa Shoten had no moral integrity and would do whatever it took to make money. Therefore, during the honeymoon period between China and Japan, they really They also have investments in China.

Therefore, Kadokawa Shoten's investment in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is definitely not a black point, or even a bright spot.

Moreover, this movie is also very strong in terms of publicity.

Didn't you find Bai Feng before?

Of course, this time they didn't ask Bai Feng to do the marketing, but they did it themselves.

What's going on?

It's very simple. Just learn from Bai Feng. Why spend millions more?

Therefore, Director Chen and others brought "Assassination of Qin" to the Great Hall of the People.

That is to say, the premiere was held at the Great Hall of the People.

A considerable number of Chinese people don't know that places like the Great Hall of the People can be rented.

Therefore, holding the premiere here seems to add a lot of halo.

People are paying more attention to this movie.

Moreover, the premiere was held in the Great Hall of the People. It is still a work of your director Chen Da, and it has a certain relationship with Sino-Japanese economic and trade.

Then, CCTV will be dispatched!

In this era, film research here in mainland China is still very simple.

In Hong Kong, many people will conduct street surveys. That is, when a movie is just released, they will wait at the entrance of the theater for movie fans to come out and ask them to do the survey with questionnaires.

This method is relatively simple, or simply rough, because the brothers who do these things are not too patient when investigating.

In a place like Hong Kong, you have to worry about being slapped by a waiter when you go to a restaurant. So, is it possible to get beaten up when taking the questionnaire?

Maybe, maybe there was some problem with everyone's words. At least it was a quarrel, but at worst it was physical.

This kind of questionnaire seems not suitable for us.

And here in mainland China, we don’t do many questionnaires.

Mainly TV stations take action.

For example, when "Westward Journey" in the original time and space premiered in Shencheng, the provincial and municipal TV stations went to interview Guanglu Cinema, and the manager came out to introduce it and how much it cost to get the copy.

This is actually an advertisement, and when it is released, TV reporters will also ask movie fans at the entrance of the theater.

How do you feel?

Does it look good or not?

Now, CCTV takes action!

The title of "Assassination of Qin" is so big that CCTV really can't bear it. This is definitely big news. They might as well go to the theater to block the movie fans.

That’s it, it’s the Chinese New Year and it’s also winter. The fans’ answer that CCTV reporters waited for was...

What a damn thing!

There were probably five or six movie fans when it was broadcast on CCTV, but obviously, they interviewed at least three times as many people.

At least... there should be more.

However, among these five or six fans... no one had a good word to say!

To put it simply, the truth should be that of all the fans interviewed by CCTV, no one had a good word to say!

In other words.

The reputation is amazing!

This movie is ruined. Director Chen's film is not popular.

The main point that fans are complaining about is...dialects.

The male protagonist is Jing Ke, but he turns out to speak a rather strange-sounding dialect.

It should be said that there are times when he speaks normally, but during key plot moments, especially the final scenes, his words are really hard to understand.

The other one is performance.

Teacher Li Xuejian made it very clear in a later interview that he was forced by Director Chen every day.

Yes, that's it. It's a performance that can't be said to be almost crazy, it's just a crazy performance.

Therefore, the version of Qin Shihuang we see from Teacher Li is really uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, this is actually a performance that uses too much force.

Teacher Li didn't originally want to act like this, so Director Chen forced him.

And if it were in the original time and space, Jiang Wen would also be playing the role of Qin Shihuang.

Jiang Wen and Brother Chen Kai quarreled more than once on the set, and finally parted ways.

This was reported in the newspapers and neither of them denied it.

Moreover, after that, the two of them were like two parallel lines and never cooperated at all.

Obviously, everyone was very angry and at odds with each other.

What finally collapsed was actually the plot.

Many places are just incredible.

It's like what's going on with this assassin plan?

In fact, it was Qin Shihuang and that Zhao Ji who conspired together.

The reason is that if there is such an assassin, then he can attack Yan Kingdom openly.

However, later Zhao Ji really wanted to stab Ying Zheng to death, because Ying Zheng destroyed the Zhao country and the Zhao people were gone.

This... there is no longer Zhao Ren. This line was said by Wang Qianyuan. He only has one scene in this movie.

Let’s not talk about Wang Qianyuan, just watch this plot...

Isn’t it very brainless?

The point is, this plot has no historical basis.

The so-called Zhao Ji in the movie is not recorded in any historical documents.

Then he tampered with Fan Yuqi's plot.

In fact, as far as historical records are concerned, the relationship between Qin Shihuang and Lu Buwei is conclusive.

Well, I have to blame Tai Shigong.

Tai Shigong was from the Han Dynasty, and when he wrote the history of Qin Shihuang, he was really dark.

He revealed the eternal truth, that is to say, Lu Buwei might hate Qin Shihuang's biological father.

However, Tai Shigong also has some other records.

In other words, Ying Zheng was born at full term.

Our ancient ancestors were actually not stupid at all, especially the imperial family, which valued bloodline far more than ordinary people.

Maybe there was no DNA testing method at that time, but there were other methods, which can be said to be pretty much the same.

Just like this ‘full-term baby’.

A 'full-term child' is enough, because this is the ironclad proof of the Qin royal family's bloodline.

Tai Shigong did play a damaging trick and exploded, making everyone feel that Lu Buwei was Qin Shihuang's biological father.

But in fact, Tai Shigong wrote that he was born at full term.

So, in this movie, Director Chen filmed this plot according to this big melon.

What’s interesting is that Lu Buwei was played by Director Chen himself.

This guy is really a bit naughty.

He was asked to act in this play... Could it be that Jiang Wen couldn't stand his own father, Director Chen Da?

Not to mention Jiang Wen, in short, this plot is the focus of the entire movie, and the acting is quite pretentious.

However, this is not historically accurate.

What's even worse is.

Most movie fans didn’t understand it at all!

Ever since, this "Assassination of Qin"... collapsed at the beginning!

Let's put it this way, it would be better if CCTV didn't block the entrance of the cinema to conduct interviews like this.

The reputation of "Assassination of Qin" collapsed first, and then it collapsed completely.    And then came the box office crash.

This movie is quite long, and in the version currently released, the editing is actually very strange.

Yes, even in the original time and space, this movie has gone through countless edits.

Later, some UP owners in the film and television area reversed the verdict for this movie.

It is said that everyone buried this film back then.

But in fact, those UP owners watched the later edited version, which was not the version from that year.

That is to say, today's movie fans, on a day like winter, watch a movie with a lot of dialects, an incomprehensible plot, and crazy performances.

It's so shocking that no one makes a sound when looking at it.

The box office collapse is like a domino, because at present, although there are theater companies, there is no real national theater alliance.

So it’s a collapse of one region after another.

Many theater companies have signed contracts to guarantee the film's schedule because it is Director Chen's latest masterpiece.

Now that I look at it... I feel like crying!

Fortunately, there are always many ways. Some movie theaters simply set up a small fake screening room and use it to schedule movies.

Otherwise, you will lose more.

Of course, the theater companies themselves have inspectors, but everyone turns a blind eye.

So...yeah, The King of Comedy is just the opposite.

"The movie looks a little weird, but it's still funny."

"The part where his nose was about to fall, I laughed like crazy!"

"The heroine is very beautiful!"

"What's going on with the name Yin Tianqiu?"

They also blocked the door and interviewed movie fans, but this time it was mainly local TV stations.

Although this local TV station is not as good as CCTV, it still has considerable influence in the local area where the movie is released.

"The King of Comedy" was originally a Hong Kong movie introduced to our mainland, but this movie actually didn't have too many geographical issues.

It can be viewed as a mainland movie, with Big Brother Long making a cameo in it.

Moreover, this movie actually has many details.

Some fans noticed the actor's weird name.

Yin Tianchou!

Why is it called this?

Isn’t this too martial arts style?

It's true, this is indeed related to martial arts, and there is a big melon in it.

Let's just say that back then, Mr. Jin Yong finished writing the "The Condor" trilogy and the third part, "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", really made his popularity reach its peak.

So, according to the urine nature of Hong Kong movies, it must be a film and television drama.

But this novel is so popular, if we film it directly...how much will the copyright cost?

So, someone used some clever tricks.

In fact, at that time, there were many people who were smart enough to do this. Ni Kuang also changed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to "The One-Armed Sword".

And this "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" was made into a movie called "The Holy Fire Order of Martial Arts" by an unscrupulous company.

It is still a black and white film, and the production is extremely rough.

At that time, I was just trying to gain popularity.

Yin Tianchou, if you don’t understand this name yet, it’s Zhang Wuji!

Because Zhang Wuji bears a blood feud, isn’t he Yin Tianchou?

As for the plot, it was also a random change, but the funniest part is the ‘Holy Fire Order’.

This thing is used in movies and has its own sound effects!

You know, the finished films of this era are almost like the feeling of "Tathagata Palm", but there are no martial arts scenes. Anyway, the fighting scenes are almost like playing house.

It’s not bad, let’s just say our first generation Wong Fei Hung is Mr. Guan Dexing. Someone seems to have counted that the moves he used most were the pussy grabbing and vaginal foot lifting.

In fact, the old gentleman is very good at fighting, so his moves are pretty good.

But at that time, there were actually no fighting scenes overall. When it comes to really beautiful fighting, it was started by a northern martial artist like Yuan Xiaotian doing martial arts.

Especially the appearance of people like Bruce Lee, Bruce Liang, and Jackie Chan.

Liang Xiaolong once played Yang Kang, and his face really made people laugh, but in that version, his movement speed was far faster than others.

In other words, Liang Xiaolong's Yang Kang can actually counterattack Guo Jing. Even if Guo Jing in the play is coupled with Huang Yaoshi and Wang Chongyang, he is not Yang Kang's opponent.

In "Martial Arts Holy Fire Order", the fighting scenes were really crappy.

As soon as the Holy Fire Token is taken out, the good guy will conduct a sonic attack and gestures, and that's it, and the opponent will lie down.

But this is a movie that completely copies the plot of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".

A few years ago, a version was remade, with the male protagonist still being the big-eyed monster Mo Shaocong.

If you knew this, how would you look at Yin Tianchou?

Yes, in fact, this name is a name that can reveal the helplessness of film and television workers.

If you think about it carefully, it's a bit funny and a bit nonsensical.

Even the core of comedy is tragedy.

Of course, ordinary people cannot discover these things.

Ever since, a small article appeared on Broom.com.

It doesn't matter who wrote it.

From the details of Yin Tianqiu, we can also find many interesting hidden things.

If nothing else, it would be interesting just for everyone to discover these.

So, what about the box office?

Of course, it is going in the opposite direction to "Assassination of Qin"!

It was true that he lost at first, but he quickly surpassed "Assassin Qin".

Moreover, during the Chinese New Year this year, it turned out to be so impressive.

Although our mainland already has a Spring Festival stall, it was all started by this guy Bai Feng.

However, overall it is not that stable.

This year's two blockbusters, one is Hong Kong's new king of comedy, and the other is our top domestic director.

The fight between the two of them is a big one.

Not to mention the various other melons.

The popularity is so strong that everyone can’t help but buy tickets to watch the movie.

As a result, the box office reached a new high!

"Assassination of the Qin" crashed, but it quickly earned nearly 20 million at the box office.

"The King of Comedy" slowly climbed higher and quickly exceeded 4000 million.

Based on this calculation, it has really risen again.

But this situation...

Director Chen couldn't help it anymore.

""Assassin Qin"...you can't understand it!"

Boy, this great director has broken his guard.

In fact, it's normal. Many people don't understand why Director Chen broke the defense so much this time.

Bai Feng remembered that in the original time and space, the failure of "Assassin Qin" made Director Chen almost collapse.

Because the loss was so miserable, almost no one dared to ask him to make a movie.

So, there was the movie "Butterflies Dance in the End of the World".

Let his wife and Wang Sanshi play a couple... what are they called Diao Chan and Lu Bu? Lu Bu also wears a nose ring.

Yes, Director Chen actually made a TV series!

What's even more exaggerated is that later, he went to Europe to film "Kill Me Softly."

The scale of this film is very large, and Director Chen doesn’t care about his moral integrity.

But now, it should be different.

After all, Director Chen’s wife is still Sister Hong.

And what about Sister Hong?

He also traveled thousands of miles to find Bai Feng.

"You guy, are you so worried about me?"

It must be said that Sister Hong’s words will make the heart of the unparalleled hero soften...

　Regarding the interview on the TV station, I watched it at my grandparents’ house. I remember it very clearly. It was the movie "Assassination of Qin". CCTV interviewed some movie fans, and everyone complained about it.

　　The weather was very cold when it was released. 98 was a very cold year, and the theater seemed to be poorly heated. It was obvious that the fans were freezing, and they couldn't understand the film. They suffered.

　　I don’t know if there are any video records, but I am still very impressed by the black car.
