Chapter 470, a Low-Profile Version of "Avengers"?
"Mom, thank you for coming to watch a movie with me."
Before the movie started, Liu Xixi thanked her mother first.
It seemed that she was still a little at a loss about the current situation.
There would be a strange feeling of uneasiness.
"In fact, there are no movies to watch, so let's watch his works. It just so happens that we haven't watched a movie properly."
Liu Lili's eyes were soft, as if this reminded her that she hadn't accompanied her daughter for a long time and did something together.
This time, watching the movie may be partly out of curiosity, or partly out of some strange guilt.
"I thought, mom, you only watch Western movies."
Liu Xixi was talking about the Avengers, which is already in its heyday. Now the power of this movie is unparalleled.
It is impossible for her mother not to have this interest.
However, the answer Liu Xixi got seemed to be reasonable and unexpected.
It turned out that Liu Lili had already seen this movie. As a high-quality partner of Hollywood, she had watched the English version before it was introduced.
In Liu Lili's words, this is the ultimate part of commercial movies.
Everything starts from a commercial perspective.
Its positioning is the ultimate popcorn work.
A work that makes people face it with a mentality of seeking happiness, and this work makes Liu Lili feel the most that she is willing to spend money on it, and pay for the movie ticket for it, and the biggest feeling after watching it is that it is worth it.
That's enough.
This is already very enough, for a film work, for a commodity, it is also a high praise.
Liu Lili wants to say that she hasn't seen such a pure commodity for a long time. Such a pure commodity has to admit that on this road, Marvel has reached the limit and has achieved a point where no one can surpass it.
Liu Lili thinks that she has finished watching the best works of this period.
Since the best selections have been watched, other works don't matter, just do it casually.
"Then mom, how much do you think our Chinese-language films, in general, are behind Hollywood works?" Liu Qianqian asked in a low voice at this time.
In response to this.
Liu Lili was very calm, but she did not lower her voice.
"About 20 years."
Xie Qingya, who was not far away, felt a little harsh when she heard it, but just smiled slightly.
"Twenty years is really not a short time, it's a little era behind."
"It's just an era behind, this is an objective fact, otherwise why would so many outstanding artists rush out, good birds choose trees to live in." Liu Lili said frankly, not afraid of offending people.
She is straightforward and will not hide her thoughts.
"Standing in our domestic film field to praise the opponent, Ms. Liu, you are really frank."
"I naturally have my own reasons." Liu Lili paused and said: "Although it is behind an era, those who catch up still have places to get close."
Liu Qianqian next to her blushed. Liu Lili stared at her when she said this.
If it was before, she would definitely be stunned and didn't know what it meant, but now, she understands.
The pursuer has a place to approach. This pursuer is Brother Li.
When Li Yun received this recognition, Liu Xixi 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 pursuer, why can't he be the surpasser?"
"You can't get fat in one bite." Liu Lili shook her head. The development of the Western film industry for a hundred years, you said you want to surpass it.
At least, Liu Lili doesn't need to watch other movies to know that the strongest work this year must be "Avengers" no matter what the schedule is, it will not change this result.
She has seen the 'ceiling'.
At this time, Liu Xixi interrupted the chat.
"Ha, the movie has started."
At this moment, the movie started playing.
From the beginning, Jacky Cheung came out and explained the 'Republic' and 'Democracy' from his perspective.
Can we see the arrival of this day?
I may not be able to, but you can definitely.
Then, with a bang, the guest appearance of the Four Heavenly Kings was killed.
This made Liu Lili slightly stunned. She thought that Jacky Cheung's status should have a role, but unexpectedly, he died at the beginning.
This was unexpected. You know, Jacky Cheung's appearance fee is definitely not cheap.
Or this is a friendly guest appearance. A feeling of coming to guest appearance because of the excellent script.
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 showed his face on the big screen.
The fierce and fierce eyes and the murderous aura revealed, you can tell at a glance that he is not a person who is easy to mess with.
He killed Yang Hengyun.
"The evil words confuse the people, and I don't know what they mean."
Yan Xiaoguo shook his long braid and left with his merits and fame.
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.
October Siege, 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 humiliation, the last feudal dynasty of China, and the humiliation of modern times, all happened in this era and at this time.
The main line of the story is very clear. Sun Yat-sen is going to come back from the island country, call on the heroes, and start the Xinhai Revolution. Empress Dowager Cixi, the last ruler of the Qing Dynasty, who got the news, would not allow this to happen.
So he sent his most proud subordinate to the island of Xiangjiang to hunt down Sun Yat-sen, so that he would not come back.
At this time, Liu Lili's eyes lit up slightly.
This plot structure is very classic.
Even for her, this plot structure is very familiar. The Avengers he saw at that time were 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 weird.
This strange 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.
This was not enough.
At least it should not be enough for her to like these characters.
Time was not enough.
A gambler, addicted to gambling, his wife and daughter left him because of it. He was good at fighting and was a man who could sell his soul for money. Whether it was the news about Sun Yat-sen or the local opera troupe, all these news were sold to Yan Xiaoguo by him.
Even if the assassins of the Qing Dynasty did not hand him the money directly, but threw it directly into the mud, 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.
Workers carrying rice, servants.
Civilians selling flowers.
Actors in the opera troupe.
Merchants, students, and a newspaper owner who fainted with blood.
These people are the characters who have appeared so far.
On the other side, Qiao Mary was watching the premiere of this movie.
"It always feels a bit like 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 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 interpretation of the special effects were very exciting. Now the October Siege in front of him is exactly the same as Avengers in terms of plot rhythm and narrative structure.
It also brought a similar feeling, a similar viewing feeling.
But it is completely low-profile.
An absolutely low-profile version, incredible, actors, gamblers, rickshaw drivers, this group of unknown things, if they were born in that era, they would be a group of background boards.
And when the plot began, Li Yutang, as a businessman and leader, actually summoned this group of wild guys to be bodyguards.
You just hire some professionals.
"Weren't those professionals killed by gamblers at the very beginning?" Qiao Mali looked at Wang Chen with a strange expression, knowing that this was reasonable.
She, a foreigner, was more serious about watching movies than Wang Chen.
"At the beginning, those people were not so professional either. They have fallen to the point of opening a theater. They are in the same situation."
Wang Chen also realized that he was not serious about watching the plot at this time, and began to find a place to make up for it.
However, Qiao Mali was more acknowledging of the points that Wang Chen cared about.
The team that these people pulled together was so poor. Compared with the professional killers in the Qing court, these people looked so weak and helpless.
On the eve of the October Revolution, what role could these people play?
"The Avengers", from Liu Lili's point of view, they have a high degree of similarity.
Even Li Yun looked at it and felt a little.
This is the Chinese version of the Avengers.
No, no, not the Avengers, but the defenders, but the guardians.
Defend, protect.
But compared with the Avengers, these people are infinitely low-profile versions, without invincible serum and radiation, and without high-tech armor covering the body.
Weak.
They are just a group of extremely weak people, a group of humble things that are in the dust.
"Do they have any special abilities? Can they stop, stop those vicious Qing Dynasty killers?" At this moment, Liu Lili asked Li Yun next to her.
Because until here, she still felt that this group of people had some special abilities.
They could play a major role in defending Mr. Sun Yat-sen.
Isn't this the case with the Avengers?
Mutants injected with super serum, invincible iron men covered with high-tech armor, sharpshooters, super agents, giants, each of them has their own unique skills, and each of them has their own outstanding features.
At least it can give people a different impression.
They can resist powerful enemies in different postures.
But the most important thing is
"Actually, what you doubt is not their ability, what you doubt is their identity. You must be thinking, how do people like them qualify to participate in such a great thing, the October siege of the Xinhai Revolution, this It is a war of great men. In the history books, who is not a famous gentleman, and who is not a majestic master? People like coachmen, gamblers and actors are very unworthy of the stage. "
"They don't deserve it, they don't deserve to be a part of something so great, that's what you think."
Li Yun used his eyes to understand Aunt Liu's thoughts.
When she saw this, Liu Lili's emotion was pity, and she felt pity for these people.
They are obviously just the humblest people with no special abilities. People like this have to sacrifice their lives for an unknown goal and throw away their precious lives for someone they don't understand or recognize.
They were deceived, deceived by sweet words, and sent to death to fill in the gaps.
Liu Lili seems to be frank about this.
Should they understand? In this era, even staying alive is a task that requires a lot of effort for them.
Coachman, actor, beggar, gambler.
It is a very commendable thing that they can live in their own one-third of an acre of land.
They have no idea what revolution is.
They know nothing.
They don't understand Sun Wen and they don't understand revolution. This is the inevitable result of their status.
They don't understand, so even if they die, it's just to die, not to sacrifice. Maybe like Li Yutang and his son, if they die in the end, they can cause some waves.
Letting some ignorant people die is really unfeeling. 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 generosity to die to create tears. From the perspective of a creator, your approach is easy to understand. Maybe some people will fall for this, but to me, he is too naive. Liu Lili continued to comment critically on the script, and she had already guessed the next development.
Exaggerate their feelings, exaggerate their sacrifices, and finally bring tears to the eyes.
Especially after watching The Avengers.
I just feel that October Siege is a low-end version of Avengers, even a flawed version.
Li Yun smiled slightly at this time, seemingly dismissive of Liu Lili's suppression.
This kind of self-confidence.
It seems that Liu Lili's critical comment just now was expected.
"Aunt Liu, why don't you finish the movie before talking about it?"
"Okay." Liu Lili shook her head lightly. Based on her movie-watching experience, she knew all the truth.
That's what she thought originally.
This was how she felt until the action to protect Sun Wen began.
