Chapter 388, the Movie Begins, the Grandmaster

The King of Heaven Liu at this moment.

This time he chose to watch the movie "Ip Man" as an audience.

He did not attend the premiere of his own movie.

Even the people in the crew of "The Warlords" thought his choice was very strange.

He did not watch his own movie, but watched other people's movies.

This choice can be said to be quite strange.

The answer given by Liu Dehua was also very simple, because of interest, because of hobbies.

"The Warlords" is work, but "Ip Man" can be a hobby.

Because he is more interested in this martial arts theme "Ip Man".

He is also more interested in Li Yun.

Liu Dehua smiled slightly.

"I want to watch a movie about the theme of the Anti-Japanese War. Since the fall of Shaw Brothers, there are very few movies of this theme. I want to see it."

"But the publicity here lacks your words." Chen Kexin hesitated.

But he was interrupted by Li Lianjie not far away.

Li Lianjie said lightly.

"If King Liu wants to go, go ahead. It's not that important for us."

The Kung Fu Emperor had a smile on his face, and there was a hint of arrogance in his words.

Your reputation is indeed redundant here.

I am enough here.

The Kung Fu Emperor is enough here.

I am the face of the shop, and there is no need for a second face.

At this time, Liu Dehua had a slight smile on his face.

"Okay, then I'll leave you all first."

There was no particular anger on Liu Dehua's face, and he was very cultured.

There was always a faint but elegant smile on his face. The real King Liu made people feel very comfortable to get along with.

On the contrary, the Kung Fu Emperor on the other side.

His temper is just like the stereotype of people who practice martial arts, a little hot and direct.

To be honest, from Chen Kexin's point of view, he prefers to get along with King Liu, but what can he do now? He can only smile beside him.

There is no way, because the status of the Kung Fu Emperor is so high.

A strong man who returned from Hollywood, with acting skills, Kung Fu status, and box office appeal.

The most important thing is his international influence.

It is incomparable.

His influence is even stronger than that of King Liu. It can be said that the biggest factor affecting the box office this time is his name.

This can also be seen from the online public opinion.

Box office appeal is such a thing.

The name of the Kung Fu Emperor can bring real money.

More real money than King Liu.

At the premiere, Liu Dehua also came to Ye Weixin's set as promised.

There is no entanglement in interests, and his dress is also very low-key, wearing a low-brimmed hat.

There is no sign that he is the superstar who dominates Hong Kong.

This title can only be obtained by a few people in the whole Hong Kong, representing the glory of the last era.

He has reached the limit in the Hong Kong artist industry.

The achievements he has achieved.

It can be said that his every move can bring box office to "Ip Man".

As long as his viewing route is publicized and hyped up a little, there will be results.

But Ye Weixin didn't do it, and didn't even think about it.

Although we are not as good as the "Tribute" in terms of paper data, I still have my own pride.

Let's fight head-on, even if the result of this head-on fight will not be good.

But it is always a fair fight.

Even if we fail, it will be a battle with honor.

That's enough.

That's enough.

At this time, in the cinema where the premiere was broadcast, Li Yun saw Liu Dehua, and King Liu also saw Li Yun.

The two met again and smiled at each other.

Long time no see.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Indeed, Senior Liu, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Don't call me senior, it seems too distant." King Liu smiled slightly: "If you think highly of me, just call me Brother Liu."

"Brother Liu."

In fact, King Liu did. A little emotional.

When he saw Li Yun, his thoughts would recall that summer when he was filming Infernal Affairs.

He played the young Liu Jianming.

At that time, he thought he had a promising future.

But he didn't expect that his future was brighter than he thought.

Back then, he could only be his stand-in.

Now, he is even his opponent.

An opponent that should not be underestimated.

He is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past.

It is no longer the same as it was in the past.

The changes of time made him sigh.

"I heard that you are also the director of this movie."

"It can be regarded as a work shot by Director Ye and me." Li Yun did not deny this.

"Awesome, you are more amazing than I thought."

Liu Dehua gave Li Yun a thumbs up, and he really admired him.

"Now I will see if this interesting movie can bring me happiness."

Liu Dehua smiled slightly.

Li Yun knew one thing at this time.

King Liu was not giving face or courtesy to anyone, he really came to watch the movie.

In any entertainment work, including movies, he has a most basic function.

One of the most fundamental functions is whether it can bring happiness to the audience.

King Liu is here to have fun.

Come and find a piece of happiness brought by the entertainment carrier of movies.

"Yes, let's talk about old times later. Now let's enjoy the happiness brought by the movie." Li Yun also smiled and sat next to Liu Tianwang.

Liu Dehua suddenly felt that Li Yun was beside him, and he felt like he was on an equal footing with him.

A feeling of being on equal footing from aura to self-awareness.

King Liu Tian is not a stingy person. He would not mind at all if it were anyone else.

Even if it were a little-known star, he would still maintain his quality.

He will also maintain his gentlemanly attitude.

This is the quality he possesses.

He deserves to be called a gentleman in the entertainment industry, after all, he really has such a style.

But in fact, the attitude of Breeze in the Willows is also condescending.

But facing Li Yun's appearance at this moment.

But it made him feel a subconscious sense of vigilance.

It was a time when you were facing your own kind.

The feeling that will arise.

The emotions derived from it.

"It's incredible. I'm becoming more and more curious about your purely commercial work. I wonder if you really want to show that you are so confident that you can challenge the king."

At this time, Liu Tianwang was sitting in his seat and smiling slightly.

He raised his head and looked at the big screen.

Waiting for the movie to start.

Wing Chun, Ip Man.

Originally, the public opinion on the Internet was that it was just a corny martial arts movie.

Yes, his public opinion is old-fashioned.

A somewhat rustic film.

Because real people fight, this already somewhat old-fashioned gimmick has become somewhat popular with the promotion of Chinese martial arts.

Authentic Wing Chun.

Then when this stunt was announced, Ye Weixin obviously did not expect that on the mainland, the reputation of national martial arts has been almost eclipsed by those kung fu masters.

And those who still believe in martial arts have been almost purified by that group of people, and they are basically the leaders and follow their lead.

I already believe that they are the authority. If they say that the kung fu of "Ip Man" is unorthodox, then it is unorthodox.

Ever since, for the "Ip Man" movie.

Ordinary viewers will feel that the movie "Ip Man" has no idea about the so-called Chinese martial arts. They may be entertained by the theme lineup, but they will definitely not have any special expectations for the so-called Chinese martial arts in it.

Maybe interested in his commercial nature, but that's about it.

The application form is different.

The buzz on the Internet is overwhelming, and the Kung Fu Emperor's return is a gimmick that's already packed with people.

His influence is that of a Hollywood star.

No one can ignore it.

"Hollywood is back, this gimmick is so exciting, how about Master Xing, do you want to see this rising star in the Hong Kong film industry?" At this time, Cheng Shilong smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Xingxing next to him.

The two of them were drinking tea in the restaurant.

Discussing what is happening in the film industry.

Mr. Xing, whose hair was already graying, was looking at the newspaper, but his eyes were staring at another place.

Rising mainland stars versus Hollywood superstars.

"Hollywood superstar? If Hollywood really welcomes Chinese people, why did he come back?" Mr. Xing covered the newspaper and said calmly: "The Hong Kong film industry will rise again, no matter how you look at it, it will not be He took the lead.”

"What do you think, Brother Long?"

"You asked me for my opinion. If I had to choose one of these two movies to watch, I would probably choose the movie."

Jackie Chan smiled slightly: "Maybe with his Hollywood skills, he can really make the Hong Kong film industry bloom again. At least it won't be in a state where the box office has been suppressed by 70%."

Regarding the future of the Hong Kong film industry, Jackie Chan is still optimistic to a certain extent.

There are talents in every generation, and future generations have their own wisdom.

"This Li Yun, this young man that I was very optimistic about at the beginning, I didn't expect that he would choose the path of Ye Weixin and Donnie Yen."

"How to say?"

"Donnie Yen and Ye Weixin are both excellent, so they have a problem of their own. The route they took is the wrong route that I verified back then. Maybe they can make a living. How good an answer can they give? , it’s really not that easy.”

Cheng Shilong is a martial arts star who came from Shaw Brothers. Of course, he also knows how Shaw Brothers declined.

They just insist on so-called real-person fighting.

It's been this way all the way.

So now there is Kung Fu comedy superstar Jackie Chan, but those guys who used to specialize in real-life fighting have already quit the industry due to injuries, or because they were eliminated by the film market.

These are common sense things.

Only the King of Kung Fu Comedy remains.

Only Brother Long was left.

Facts have proved that the traditional way of kung fu martial arts has reached a dead end in the past.

Now if we walk again, the result will not be any different.

Even the spiral of the times has made this inherently outdated interpretation method even more outdated.

Not competitive.

Times have changed.

What makes people feel helpless is that a young man with potential has chosen this old-fashioned path.

To follow the old times.

What a terrible choice.

Master Xing doesn't know whether this is the case, if they really have to make a choice.

I will only choose to vote for this movie.

but.

"I will go see the movie "Ip Man". If you don't come with me, then I will have to go to the theater alone to watch it?" Zhou Xingxing said calmly at this time.

Cheng Shilong next to him was a little stunned.

"are you sure?"

"I am sure."

"You just had the same opinion as me."

"Actually, my opinion is exactly the same as yours now. I also don't like the old Shaw Brothers formula. It was a movie I watched when I was a teenager. Now that I have grown a white beard, how can this thing work? ”

Although there was ridicule in Zhou Xingxing's words.

But there is also a lot of sadness.

This is something that everyone needs to admit.

Master Xing is old.

As the years go by, mottled spots cover the body.

He will grow old, grow old normally.

And growing old with them is the Hong Kong film industry.

The world belongs to young people after all.

At this time, Zhou Xingxing's eyes were focused on the elegant young man on the poster.

Li Yun.

This young man who had collaborated with him once was now able to become the protagonist on his own and lead a commercial film.

Even this time, as a self-director and self-actor, he appeared in front of people.

Aren't you curious? A young man we met together back then.

How far can he grow now?

Although I don't approve of this subject matter.

But I want to see the boy I admire.

That's all.

The "Ip Man" movie has begun.

At this time, Andy Lau, who was sitting on the premiere set, watched the screen flow in front of him.

From the picture quality point of view.

This cost is indeed not too low.

The performance of the screen is pretty good.

The beginning shows a vibrant Buddhist shirt, the hometown of martial arts.

And the beginning of this is Master Liao of Tongbei Quan from further south.

He wants to open a martial arts gym in Foshan.

There is a rule in Buddhist shirts. If you want to open a martial arts gym here, you must join the gym and be recognized before you can become a master.

Only then are you qualified to teach martial arts here.

The confident Master Liao came here and chose the first challenger, Wing Chun Ip Man.

He was eager to establish himself here.

There is Master Liao looking for you outside.

"He is the real master of Nanquan, Chen Zhihui, who is famous in the martial arts association." At this time, Liu Dehua looked at Master Liao and smiled.

His name was revealed like a treasure trove.

Li Yun was a little surprised by this.

Liu Tianwang actually knew Chen Zhihui.

"Why is that expression like this? I told you that I came to the premiere because I was interested in the movie."

Liu Tianwang touched his chin and said: "For me, Chinese martial arts movies are the memories of my youth. My inspiration for the literary and artistic film industry is all in the ancient Shaw Brothers movies."

It turns out that Liu Tianwang is really interested in this type of martial arts film.

This made Chen Zhihui next to him feel a little comforted.

This subject matter still has a fixed audience.

There are still people who have not forgotten the martial arts.

At this time, the movie officially begins, with a fight scene between Master Liao and Wing Chun Ip Man.

The opening of a martial arts film is very conventional, telling the audience that the following dance moves will not be inferior to the first martial arts scene.

The first battle between Master Ye and Master Liao.

One is at ease.

He was playing hard, not at all as elegant as when he was just playing in the gym and trying to make a name for himself.

Fists, feet and elbows.

Every shot, every angle, even to the point of taking one shot to the end.

A one-shot martial arts scene.

The beginning of this paragraph.

Just let Liu Dehua call it wonderful.

"It's really a real fight, Xiao Li, your kung fu is really as good as the rumors say."

Liu Dehua was a little shocked at this time.

Because Li Yun used it.

It is indeed orthodox Wing Chun.

For Liu Dehua, who has been obsessed with martial arts movies since childhood, his beautiful Wing Chun skills are quite expert.

Very professional and beautiful.

Also very strong.

Very strong.

"What an exciting martial arts scene."

At this moment.

On the mainland.

Father and son Wu Jing and Wu Jinquan walked into the film set of "Ip Man".

At this time, Wu Jing was staring at the big screen.

He really wanted to find traces of fake beatings, traces that meant Li Yun was taking advantage of others.

For example, use a long lens, multiple lenses, and search from all angles.

But Li Yun is shown on the screen in front of him.

He didn't have any blind spots at all.

He is a powerful martial arts master, expressing his martial arts skills.

"Dad, do you think he is an authentic Wing Chun practitioner?"

"It's very authentic, even more authentic than the so-called Wing Chun successor in our martial arts association. I have no doubt that this is the fist punched by Ip Man himself."

Wu Jinquan stared at the big screen.

They say that a layman can see the excitement, but an expert can see the rules. As a member of the martial arts association, he could tell that Li Yun was using orthodox Wing Chun Kung Fu.

"Did he play Wing Chun before?"

"No, absolutely not! When I knew him, he had never learned any Wing Chun technique!" Wu Jing felt completely unbelievable at this time.

To learn a kung fu, it requires at least years of immersion.

No matter how talented you are, you still need time to polish it.

The Li Yun in front of him completely violated this common sense.

He performed beautiful and authentic Wing Chun.

The martial arts association members who followed Wu Jing and Wu Jinquan said weakly.

"Is Uncle Chen Zhihui's acting so good? It seems that his transformation is very successful. This miserable look of being beaten doesn't look like acting."

"Is there a possibility that he was really beaten miserable?"

"Impossible, Uncle Chen Zhihui practices boxing seriously every day, he is a real master of Chinese martial arts."

Even those who have just joined the martial arts association know that the group of descendants of famous and upright sects are good-for-nothings.

But the Northern Fist Grandmaster Chen Zhihui is not.

He is a real martial arts master.

And Wu Jing and Wu Jinquan can see that Chen Zhihui on the screen.

That is, Master Liao.

He really fought with all his strength.

It really seems like.

Challenging a real strong man.

And when Master Ye and Jinshan were looking for a match.

That feeling deepened the impression of Wu Jing and Wu Jinquan.

The authentic Wing Chun is flying and flowing in his hands.

From the perspective of a true martial arts master.

He is a true master of his generation.
