From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Chapter 123: The King's New Clothes

Nowadays, the mainland film market’s schedules are divided into two categories, summer schedules and Lunar New Year schedules, with a time span of more than one month.

The Spring Festival schedule and the National Day schedule belong to the second category. Both schedules have a bonus of 7 days of statutory holidays. During this period, 5-8 heavyweight films will mostly choose to be released on the same day, enjoying the bonus of the holidays.

, will also have extremely high explosive power.

After years of development, Spring Festival, summer vacation, National Day, and Lunar New Year have firmly become the four major domestic production schedules.

When the potential of the four major schedules is gradually tapped out, film producers and theaters will naturally focus on other short holiday schedules.

And May Day, as a once-splendid schedule, has emerged in front of everyone's eyes.

Especially in the past two years, the May Day holiday has gradually increased to five days, which seems to be paving the way for the resumption of the May Day Golden Week, so the May Day period has a high chance of becoming the fifth largest period in the film market.

The producers of "Cold War 2" didn't know whether it was to avoid the schedules of other blockbuster movies, or they were optimistic about the May 1st schedule, which has a five-day long holiday this year. Shortly after launching a publicity offensive after the New Year, they finally set the May 1st Labor Day schedule.

Released on the day of the festival.

...

...

On May 1st.

Inside the cinema.

Ding Zhi, Zou Yutong and Li Xiuyuan all wore masks and sat in a dark cinema, waiting for the opening of "Cold War 2".

It wasn't that Li Xiuyuan wanted to make a light bulb, but because the two hosts wanted to watch a movie and didn't want to go through the exhausting process of putting on make-up to make a living person, so they pulled him in to be a background board, just in case he died.

Being photographed by that sharp-eyed paparazzi, how could he have a shield?

Of course, this idea was thought up by Miss Zou, a clever little girl, and she also used it as a pretext to prevent Ding Zhi from being burdened with the reputation of being a lover of sex and a neglect of friends.

Of course, Ding Zhi refused to comment on this.

Ever since he became popular, it is not that no paparazzi have visited Ding Zhi, especially since even his address was revealed by some interested people, there are even more people staring at him.

But in fact, paparazzi is really not worth mentioning to Ding Zhi.

His anti-tracking methods have been practiced to perfection.

Brother Zhi used to fight with plainclothes men, but now the paparazzi's self-proclaimed following skills are undoubtedly just dancing clumsily and carelessly in front of him.

As for stupid methods like looking at the license plate number.

I really thought Brother Zhi only bought one car after he got rich.

So until now, those "media staff" who want to take pictures of Ding Zhi are like they have seen a ghost.

You said that this person is obviously very popular. He doesn't participate in any activities. Except for filming, he almost lives in seclusion. He finally got caught and went out, but in the blink of an eye, he and his car were gone.

Who among those naive paparazzi could have imagined what kind of existence they were following?

While waiting for the movie to start, Ding Zhi looked around the dark scene and saw that the attendance rate seemed to be quite high.

During the movie promotion period, Ding Zhi was actually playing a supporting role as a supporting actor, but again, Hong Kong capital has always been good at operating the mainland film industry, and the first part of "Cold War" performed well, so

Now that the second part is released, there are still many viewers who are willing to buy it.

Not to mention that the lead actors of this film include Liang Jiahui, Fa Ge, and Guo Tianwang, the three most powerful actors in Hong Kong, and the supporting roles include Peng Yuyan, Ding Zhi, and other young actors with good ratings and popularity.

Yes, Ding Zhi, who has suddenly become famous in recent months, has become one of the good news for the release of this film. It must be said that it is an unexpected surprise for the film crew.

Even Ding Zhi's position on the poster has been enlarged a lot, reaching a position parallel to that of Peng Yuyan, a "veteran" little hottie.

"Is this your first time watching your own movie in a cinema?"

Zou Yutong whispered with some fascination.

She is different from Ding Zhi. If she continues to develop step by step without any opportunities, she may be able to become a popular star in the TV drama circle, but it will be difficult for her to get roles on the big screen, especially in commercial blockbusters.

"Yeah, last time "Eight Hundred" was released, I didn't go to see it because I was filming."

Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting next to him, looked at the couple next to him, and then at the pair on the right, Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong, who were wearing masks and showing their eyes that were still pleasing to the eye. Considering that he was single, it was really disturbing.

At this moment, I heard the two people whispering, and some of them said something sour.

"That's right, what's so interesting about those few minutes of supporting roles? Tsk."

Ding Zhi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, the next part of the movie will be released soon, and the protagonist will be the one."

Li Xiuyuan: "..."

Before Li Xiuyuan could think of a reply, the screen in front of him went black, the advertisements in front of him stopped, and the feature film finally began to be shown.

The story connects to the end of the previous part.

In the previous movie, Deputy Commissioner of Police Liu Jiehui, starring Guo Tianwang, finally captured the main culprit of the assault vehicle robbery that prompted the emergence of "Operation Cold War" in the previous movie after a series of overt and covert battles, and Li Wenhui, starring Liang Jiahui, killed his relatives out of righteousness.

At the same time, Li Wenhui’s son Li Jiajun was brought to justice.

However, at the end of the first part, a huge suspense was left. Liu Jiehui, who had been promoted to police commissioner, received a call. The other party used Liu Jiehui's wife and daughter as a threat to demand the release of Li Wenbin's son Li Jiajun. That is to say

, the real mastermind behind this case has not been exposed, and a bigger shadow continues to threaten the safety of Xiangjiang.

The film first briefly picks up the suspense left at the end of the previous film. Liu Jiehui decided to violate the rules and personally escort Li Jiajun to exchange for his wife.

It has to be said that directors Lu Jianqing and Liang Lemin have become more proficient in directing skills after experiencing the training of Han Zhanyi.

The film has progressed to this point. Although it is still the old police and gangster film routine of bad guys holding hostages and good guys forced to go into the tiger's den alone, the superb performances of the actors, sharp editing and changes in light and shadow still brought up the rhythm and atmosphere of the beginning.

.

Especially the scene where Liu Jiehui and Li Jiajun, whose face was stained with blood, "confronted" each other across the single-sided glass in the interrogation room, was full of texture.

"Why haven't I seen you yet?"

Zou Yutong, who was in the audience, had some thoughts and turned his head and asked quietly.

"Soon, soon."

Although I have not seen the complete edited film, according to the plot reasoning in the script, the next scene must be the explosion in the subway.

As expected.

Not long after Ding Zhi said his words, something changed in the film.

Liu Jiehui escorted Li Jiajun to the transaction location specified in the robber's phone call. After being directed by the other party's phone call to go around and around, he was asked to walk to the subway station with a box containing an unknown object cuffed by his hands to the destination they requested.

Then He Guozheng, played by Ding Zhi, blended into the crowd and finally appeared for the first time!

However, unlike Peng Yuyan's first handsome appearance, which caused many female audience members to make infatuated noises, Ding Zhi's first appearance did not cause too much uproar among the audience.

After all, He Guozheng's appearance and skin color in the film are both dark and rough in line with the character. Coupled with his deliberately low-key dress, it fails to show one tenth of his handsomeness.

But from another perspective, although Peng Yuyan's "handsomeness" has the advantage of being recognizable, in fact, to a certain extent, it has already made the audience a little "dazzled".

Ding Zhi, on the other hand, has perfectly blended into the characters. Naturally, the characteristics of the characters are there, but it can also be seen from this small difference that although the two of them are equally popular, they have taken completely different paths.

Back to the film.

He Guozheng secretly handed the key to Li Jiajun to unlock the handcuffs, and then used the bomb in the box to cause a riot on the subway. Finally, he used a coat with tinfoil sewn on the inside to help Li Jiajun isolate the tracker and escape in the chaos.

The whole process was low-key and steady, and he acted like a perfect tool man.

Ding Zhi's first appearance in this film was omitted with some "understatement".

The bomb that was leaning against the box was actually a bomb. After Li Jiajun escaped, it was actually detonated. However, Liu Jiehui was successfully rescued by the bomb disposal team at the last moment and narrowly escaped death.

In line with the Hollywood editing style of this film, the plot also imitates the typical Hollywood three-part structure.

The beginning is to establish the conflict, and now the middle stage is to develop the conflict and make the conflicting parties compete repeatedly. The so-called climax is the total outbreak of the conflict, and it is also the highest point of the conflict, so it is also the decisive moment of the conflict.

As for the ending, it is nothing more than the final result after the conflict.

Now, the film has progressed to this point, and the dilemma begins. Although the police team tried their best to deploy and track, the daring robbers finally succeeded. In the end, Li Jiajun escaped, and Liu Jiehui also acted without authorization in violation of police regulations and was questioned by the Hong Kong judicial authorities.

This is the typical stage where the battle between good and evil begins.

Li Wenbin, the former deputy commissioner of the police who resigned after taking the blame, was bewitched by retired former police commissioner Cai Yuanqi and defected during the questioning process, triggering the crisis of Liu Jiehui's impeachment.

At the same time, Legislative Council member Jian Aowei, played by Chow Yun-fat, was also full of doubts about Li Wenbin's defection. He sent his niece Ou Yong'en to investigate Li Wenbin's whereabouts, and discovered that Li Wenbin had contact with the escaped Li Jiajun and Cai Yuanqi. Among them, Ding Zhi also had a fragmentary relationship.

The shots serve as backgrounds and are interspersed in various plots.

Ou Yong En, played by Man Yong Shan on the big screen, was discovered by Cai Yuanqi and his gang during the tracking process. He eventually died in a car accident and received the lunch box honorably.

The culprit responsible for Ou Yong'en's death is undoubtedly our rare appearance again of the ruthless gangster He Guozheng.

Then, not long after he started to show off his cruelty, he was shot to the ground by the powerful protagonist Liu Jiehui.

Seeing this, Ding Zhi noticed that Miss Zou, who was sitting next to her, had crossed her legs and shifted her feet. Then he glanced at his girlfriend and found that she seemed to be frowning in dissatisfaction.

As if noticing Ding Zhi's gaze, Zou Yutong looked at him, wrinkled his nose, snorted slightly, and made a face.

"What's the matter?"

"The trailer edits you as the main character, and the poster also sets you as the main position. As a result, the feature film only has so few shots."

Obviously, Zou Yutong was a little dissatisfied with the "Cold War 2" film crew's behavior of "consuming" Ding Zhi.

Ding Zhi didn't think it was anything, and the film crew's approach was actually understandable, not to mention that his real highlight shot hadn't appeared yet.

As a person in the industry, Zou Yutong actually understands these unspoken rules. Now this is just a little bit of a feeling that he can't bear to be "bullied".

Ding Zhi didn't explain, he just smiled and touched her head and continued watching the movie.

Ou Yong'en's death angered Jian Aowei, who also joined the investigation of Li Wenbin.

Through the photos left by Ou Yong'en, Jian Aowei obtained photos of Li Wenbin's secret meeting with Li Jiajun and Cai Yuanqi.

Liu Jiehui also discovered Li Wenbin's informant in the police force through counter-espionage methods.

A small episode in the plot unexpectedly caused some exclamations in the audience.

That's when He Guozheng, played by Ding Zhi, was stripped and treated by his accomplices in a simple lair, showing off his perfect figure.

Although Ding Zhi at that time had not yet entered the best condition of his body shape at that time, his wheat-colored complexion at that time, his smooth and pleasing muscle lines, and the exertion of his abdomen when interpreting the pain also made him solid.

Her eight-pack abs and looming mermaid lines are all clearly visible.

Not only does a good figure for girls require "natural talent", but a good figure for men often cannot be achieved by just practicing.

"This is... Ding Zhi?"

"I have to say, I suddenly found out how handsome he is."

"It completely subverted my previous notion that all the people selected in the draft are sissies!"

"Harm! Ding Zhi is just an example!"

In fact, here the director is more or less secretly asking Ding Zhi to "sell meat".

But Ding Zhi's highlight moment goes far beyond the superficial level of "showing off her figure".

In the next few minutes, Ding Zhi scanned the impression of the background board.

Convenience store, gunfight, movie-star-level confrontation.

Even a few minutes ago, the audience, who had been aroused by Ding Zhi's figure and abdominal muscles, were now silently watching the performances of the two people in front of the screen.

Liang Jiahui and Ding Zhi...

No!

This is the silent communication between Li Wenhui and He Guozheng.

Just relying on body language, micro-expressions and eyes, I didn't say a word, but everything was expressed.

One is desperately trying to protect his old subordinate whom he has a close friendship with, while the other is risking his life to protect the safety of his old boss.

Unknowingly, Miss Zou's hand was tightly holding Ding Zhi's.

The entire theater fell silent, and there was a strange silence for a few seconds on the screen and in the auditorium.

Finally, the gunshot!

He Guozheng fell to the ground suddenly.

There were even a few low sobs coming from the audience.

In the high-level struggle of the police force, which was as exciting as a palace fight, this is the most humane role, and it comes to an end.

At this moment, Ding Zhi is the protagonist!
