Chapter 14 Rock and Martial Arts (Part 2)
On the screen, the male and female protagonists have experienced many misunderstandings with each other, overcome various difficulties, and finally overcome the temptation of money and fame.
Seeing the heroine on the painting screen happily wearing a wedding dress, it seemed that the whole picture began to become brighter and brighter. Li Qian couldn't help but reach out and grab his chin, thinking.
In his previous life, he went to the theater to watch, bought and rented discs to watch, and went to the film academy to watch movies. There are not a thousand but nine hundred and ninety-nine movies, domestic and foreign, as far as the silent films of the old era , He has seen all the works of the fourth and fifth generation directors in China, as well as the micro-movies on the Internet, and even many films that can't be seen in theaters but can only be released on DVD in an attempt to get back three melons and two dates. He has his own set of criteria for judging whether a movie is good or bad.
In his opinion, although the plot of this film is old-fashioned and the camera is clumsy, at least its main line is correct and the rhythm is not deviated. At this time in 1995, it can definitely be regarded as a qualified film.
However, it is such a decent quality movie that can let young lovers spend their weekend love time, but the scene is extremely deserted—the whole hall, including Li Qian and Wang Jinglu, only sat a dozen or so sparsely. Individuals, one of them started snoring not long after the opening, and not long after, two more people left midway!
Although the show was at 8:30 in the morning, considering that it was on a Saturday, this result was obviously not good-looking, and the reaction of the audience directly gave the whole movie a "street hit" label. sign.
Therefore, when he walked out of the screening hall, Li Qian frowned tightly.
"Do you think it looks good?" He asked Wang Jinglu.
"It's so beautiful! Qianqian finally married Li Mingyuan! So happy!" she said.
Li Qian's head was full of black lines.
Sure enough, this is the standard for girls to judge whether a movie is good or not?
…………
Twenty minutes after the first scene ended, the two of them went to the bathroom separately, and then came the second scene of "Proud".
Unexpectedly, the box office of this film is still very poor!
It was already 10:10 when the show opened, and it was Saturday again, and it was an American blockbuster, and it had just been released in China... There were only thirty or forty people in the entire screening hall!
This is Schwarzenegger's muscle piece!
Smooth story, sharp editing, pure adrenaline stimulation brought by Schwarzenegger's muscles and fists... Although Li Qian doesn't like this typical American muscle movie, he still feels It's worth the price of admission.
Even in Li Qian's view, regardless of the different themes, whether it is from the artistic or technical point of view of the film, the strength and sincerity of this film are enough to crush the previous "Love, Don't will lose".
However, the audience still did not buy it.
"Do you think it looks good?" After watching the movie, Li Qian asked Wang Jinglu the same question again.
Wang Jinglu frowned and thought for a while, with a troubled expression on her face.
"So... what do you think?" She asked back.
Li Qian was speechless.
"I'm asking you!" he said.
Wang Jinglu hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said: "Anyway... I don't like this kind of movie very much, so I keep calling... But the story is pretty good! The leading actor is really strong!"
Li Qian was speechless again.
So, when he walked out of the screening hall, he was a little out of sorts. But then, when he and Wang Jinglu went to line up to wait for the entrance of the third "Three Musketeers in White", they were shocked!
Crowds of people!
After entering the venue and before the screening, Li Qian deliberately stood up and looked at the screening room - at least 70% of the attendance rate!
This made Li Qian's heart suddenly excited!
Director: Zhou Kuiyuan, Leading Stars: Frontier Defense, Lu Youming, Chen Bin, Sun Yuanyuan.
Entering the story with full expectations, Li Qian was dumbfounded again!
That kind of feeling made Li Qian feel like he was in Hong Kong in the 1980s! That is... the feeling of other martial arts films in Hong Kong TVB in the 1980s except for a few classic Jin Yong dramas!
But the audience, just buy it!
While watching the movie, from time to time someone whispered with emotion——
"I'm stupid, so handsome!"
"It's awesome!"
"Good! Well played!"
It's men, and boys.
"The frontier guard is really handsome. Look at the moment he jumped on the roof, he was so handsome!"
"Chen Bin is also very handsome, and the character played by Chen Bin is the best!"
It's girls, and women.
Li Qian's eyelids twitched wildly, and his head was covered with black lines.
…………
At one forty-five in the afternoon, the rice noodle shop.
When two servings of rice noodles, one large and one small, were served, Li Qian was still a little absent-minded.
Wang Jinglu eats very delicately. She picked up a few sticks of rice noodles with chopsticks, blew air thinly, and waited for it to cool down before sucking it into her mouth in small sips without any movement.
After taking a bite, she saw that Li Qian was distracted while stirring the rice noodles in the bowl, so she took the initiative to say, "You seem very listless?"
Li Qian looked up at her, as if he had smelled the aroma of rice noodles, he suddenly got excited, lowered his head, picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, Wang Jinglu hurriedly shouted, "Be careful!"
Li Qian froze for a moment, then put the rice noodles back.
After thinking about it, he said, "I don't know what's wrong, I'm just a little out of my mind! The main reason is that the situation of these movies is a little... a little bit beyond my imagination, so I feel a little confused!"
"Oh!" Wang Jinglu didn't quite understand what he was ignoring, so she picked up a few more chopsticks, blew carefully, then sucked them into her mouth, chewed them up and swallowed them, before she said the next sentence, "Let's What are you doing in the afternoon? How about we go to the video store?"
"Video store? Why? Whose song do you want to buy?"
"I don't want to buy anyone, I just go shopping! Anyway... I don't want to go home right away."
"oh."
"That's right, that's right, you also like listening to Zhou Mo's songs, right? How many albums do you have of her?"
"Three discs, right? Dreamer, Quicksand River, and...yes, Fireworks."
"Ah, then you don't have as many as I do. I still have her "Glass Cup" and "There Is No Bridge Across the River". They are also very good. Do you want to go back and lend them to you?"
"OK!"
…………
Chi Chi Liu Liu, Li Qian only took a few minutes to finish a bowl of rice noodles.
Then, while distracted, he waited for Wang Jinglu to finish eating.
After she finished eating, the two of them settled the bill and went out, but Li Qian stopped suddenly at the door and said, "How about... Let's go to the movies again this afternoon?... I have something I can't figure out, and I want to go see it again." One match!"
"Oh, well, let's go see it, I don't have anything to do anyway! It's still fun to watch a movie!" she said.
So, the two went back to the movie theater again, Li Qian asked, and the conductor said that there were still tickets for the "Alien 3" show at 3:00 in the afternoon, so he quickly paid for two more tickets.
This is another imported film. It is said that it will be screened in the last week, and it will be released on the weekend.
This movie is very popular, because in my memory, Li Qian had already watched it before, and I still watched it with Liu Qiang and the others, but Li Qian still planned to watch it again.
Because this is... a sci-fi movie!
Because he knows that this is very likely to be the highest level of Hollywood film technology in this time and space in 1995!
Li Qian felt that maybe this movie could help him solve some doubts in his heart.
…………
At 2:45, "Alien No. 3" began to check tickets and enter the venue.
After entering and before the screening, Li Qian checked the attendance as usual.
Although it is the last week of screenings, there are still about 30-40% attendance in the screening hall. Considering the tragic situation of "Love, I Can't Lose" and "Undead", Li Qian knew that this movie really made a lot of money.
This reminded Li Qian of the invasion of Hollywood movies in his previous life.
Before the 1990s, the entire Fanhua cultural circle, that is, East Asia and Southeast Asia, had always been dominated by Hong Kong films, because of differences in cultural orientation, values, aesthetics, etc., except for RB, who has been trying to integrate into European and American culture. In addition, Hollywood-style blockbusters do not have much influence in this circle, which also makes Hong Kong develop into the largest film and television base in Asia with the strength of a city and the foundation of a local market of several million people. The brilliance of Hong Kong films.
However, with the development of science and technology, as Hollywood's technical capabilities and production models matured, and the integration of Hollywood's internal resources was basically completed, entering the last decade of the 20th century, the so-called American blockbusters began to emerge wave after wave with incomparable popularity. The fierce situation impacted this market. In the end, as Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" was released and the subsequent blockbusters such as "Titanic" came one after another, Hong Kong films fell to the ground and have since declined. The entire Fanhua cultural circle has since become the box office base for Hollywood blockbusters.
This situation lasted until Li Qian was reborn. Domestic films seemed to be on the rise, and a few urban films and comedies made good box office hits, but they were still weak in the entire market, especially in the face of Hollywood blockbusters. Despite the heavy pressure, domestic filmmakers still can't come up with any meaningful innovations. Everyone is making movies with the mentality of making money, so that the world's first so-called variety show actually appeared!
Moreover, even if domestic movies start to rise, their box office and influence are only limited to the smaller Chinese-speaking market. RB, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places have already become the back garden of Hollywood.
In this time and space, Li Qian has never heard of "Jurassic Park", and he still doesn't know where "Titanic" is. No one can stop the development trend. After nearly a hundred years of development, Hollywood has gradually improved its technical capabilities and its production model has become more mature, and no one can change it. Therefore, although there is no "Jurassic Park", "Alien III" will arrive as scheduled.
…………
In the projection hall, Li Qian stretched out his hand to grab his chin, staring intently at the big screen.
The story of people on earth making friends with aliens and fighting against the evil aliens together is certainly not novel to Li Qian, who has watched Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life, and the current one seems a bit crude The special effects also made him feel "not addictive" and "a bit fake", but I have to admit that Hollywood filmmakers are really good at telling this kind of science fiction story beautifully!
And for the current audience, especially the Chinese audience, this level of special effects is good enough and shocking enough, and this kind of alien story is already creative enough!
Therefore, when the cute Alien No. 3 on the big screen showed his superpowers to the leading actor, Li Qian clearly heard the sound of "wow" in the auditorium...
When the hero was repeatedly molested by his alien friend, he could clearly hear the laughter around him...
And when the alien warship descended on Washington, the grand and glorious scene also made many people gasp and straighten their backs...
Take a deep breath and take a long breath.
Li Qian knew that Hollywood blockbusters had really arrived!
What should the country rely on to resist? Is it a martial arts film?
He repeatedly rubbed the non-existent stubble on his chin, lost in thought again.
