Chapter 605 What Is a Popcorn Movie?jpg

The story of "The Legend of Shushan Xianxia" is a fusion of the opening chapters of many Xianxia novels that Wu Yuan had read in his previous life.

The male protagonist Jiang Qing, played by Zhu Yawen, was determined by the sword-wielding elder of Shushan, and half of the disciples of Shushan died in Huangquan Hell, which directly led to Shushan falling into a period of transition. Despite the dissuasion of others, he set foot on Shushan with a sword on his back, wanting to join Shushan.

When he joined Shushan, the turmoil in Shushan began to spread to the entire human world, and the immortal sects in the human world all wanted to replace Shushan and become the largest sect.

At this time when various crises and opportunities came one after another, facing the expectations of the elders and the earnestness of the same sect, Jiang Qing, who had just joined Shushan, showed his talent and finally lived up to expectations. He won the first place in the Eight Sects Sword Fighting Conference and defended the reputation of Shushan.

It was also during this sword fight that the feelings and bonds between him and his senior brothers, sisters, and junior sisters continued to deepen, composing a chapter of friendship and passion.

Disciple Jiang Qing, in the process of fighting with the righteous and the devil, transformed into the new sword-wielding elder of Shushan, Taiwu Zhenren Jiang Qing!

However, although Jiang Qing temporarily saved the prestige of Shushan, the once-in-five-hundred-years tide of demonic chaos is about to begin again. When Shushan as a whole has not yet recovered and is even the weakest in history, how to face this tide of demonic chaos is the next big problem that Jiang Qing needs to solve.

The story of the first part ends here.

The hook of the tide of demonic chaos left at the end is naturally prepared for the second sequel, and it is also one of the foreshadowings of this fairy-tale movie universe.

In fact, the story itself is not complicated, and it can even be said to be very simple, but the film critics and ordinary guests who attended the premiere found it quite exciting after watching it.

Superhero popcorn movies, that's it!

Whether it is "Iron Man" or "Captain America", the main storyline can be summarized in one sentence.

The protagonist faces a crisis, explodes under various pressures, and then solves the crisis, and the world gains temporary peace.

99% of popcorn movies and superhero movies have such a simple storyline.

People go to the cinema to watch not the plot, but the gorgeous special effects, exciting fights, and shocking visual impact in the movie.

In the movie "The Legend of Shushan Xianxia", the audience is watching the Eight Sects Sword Fighting Conference that is rendered to the extreme.

As long as the special effects of the Eight Sects Sword Fighting Conference are not bad, the fighting is exciting enough, and the scene is exciting and grand enough, the audience will be satisfied and enjoy it!

Just like the story of "Avengers 1", the front is foreshadowed for a long time, gathering superheroes, and fighting internally, and in the end it is all for the second half to unite and fight the New York battle.

If the final New York battle is not exciting, then all the previous foreshadowing is meaningless.

And if the final battle in New York is portrayed well enough, even if there are some flaws or loopholes in the previous plot, it is still a good thing.

In "The Legend of Shushan Xianxia", both the script and the director's shooting are focused on the sword fighting competition in the middle and later stages.

Not only did the heroes of the eight sects and various immortals appear one after another, but the conference was divided into three stages, from the individual battle at the beginning to the battle with the monsters and then to the large-scale group battle at the end. The rhythm and scene are getting bigger and bigger, and the emotional impact is higher and higher. The visual and emotional impact brought to the audience is continuous, and there is no boring moment throughout the whole process.

In the end, Jiang Qing killed the demon who mixed into this righteous sword fighting battle with one sword, holding the injured junior sister in his arms, and topped the sword fighting first, which satisfied the vanity of most male audiences. It was so cool!

It is a superhero special effects blockbuster that belongs to the Chinese people. It is very enjoyable to watch!

[The new work "The Legend of Shushan Xianxia" of Light and Shadow Times held a grand premiere in Beijing, and Zhu Yawen shed tears on the scene! 】

[The premiere was a blast, with constant praise from invited guests and film critics! 】

[China's own Xianxia special effects blockbuster, benchmarking Hollywood superhero movies, how good is it? 】

["The Legend of Shushan Xianxia", creating China's own Xianxia universe, the era of light and shadow is full of ambition! 】

[Success or failure, "The Legend of Shushan Xianxia" will be released in three days, and the pre-sale of movie tickets will start! 】

The next day, domestic entertainment media, big and small, all reported "The Legend of Shushan Xianxia" as their front-page headlines.

However, as a very thorough popcorn commercial film, it is not so easy to get unanimous praise like the movies before the era of light and shadow.

Although the titles of most entertainment media reports are still positive (paid), the comments are full of disdain and contempt for popcorn commercial films.

The plot is simple, the logic is not clear, the main line is monotonous, the special effects are piled up, the Hollywood routine is imitated, and it is too vulgar.

Just like when Wolf Warrior appeared.

Some domestic film critics always have a crooked butt.

Hollywood has a superhero who can save the world by himself, and a hot male protagonist who crosses half the world to save XXX. This is the embodiment of the American dream and an excellent Hollywood movie.

If Chinese movies have similar plots, it is outrageous, vulgar, and brainless. It is a poor imitation of Hollywood and extremely erotic.

Taken and Mission Impossible are OK!

Wolf Warrior and Wolf Warrior 2 are not OK!

Similarly, Hollywood's commercial popcorn movies and superhero movies are OK!

China's commercial popcorn movies and fairy tale blockbusters are no good!

I don't know how this logic was thought up, and it can be recognized by many people.

It's obviously the same subject matter and the same routine. Hollywood's commercial popcorn movie is flawless and well-made.

China's movie is garbage.

There are a group of people on the Internet who are sparing no effort to discredit "The Legend of Shushan Fairy", mocking the era of light and shadow for imitating and plagiarizing Hollywood movies, and saying that it is a clown's poor imitation of the master.

For such remarks, even if Weibo has been trying hard to control the comments, there are still a group of people who spread it on other online platforms.

This cannot be stopped.

Some people who are used to watching Hollywood's personal hero movies and have been invaded or even assimilated by Hollywood culture really can't accept the same story happening to Asian faces.

In their minds, the protagonist of this kind of personal hero movie must be white-skinned, so that there is a sense of substitution and it is correct.

As for those who have been completely brainwashed by culture, the Light and Shadow Era can only ignore them completely.

The only thing to be thankful for is that such people are only a minority after all, and cannot represent the majority of Chinese movie fans.

Just like how much "Wolf Warrior 2" was criticized, how much Wu Jing was ridiculed, it did not affect the box office sales of this movie, let alone the continued sales of Wu Jing's new movies.

People who whined and scolded on the Internet can never represent the real masses. Most of these people never go to the cinema, and almost never spend money to watch movies, but love to complain.

The real main force of moviegoers is the silent majority on the Internet.

And these silent majority are looking forward to the National Day, and looking forward to the full release of "The Legend of Shushan"!

China's own commercial popcorn blockbuster, personal heroism movie, super special effects blockbuster, this is simply too cool! (End of this chapter)
