Perfect Life

Chapter 14: Rock and Martial Arts (Part 2)

On the screen, the male and female protagonists have gone through many misunderstandings with each other, overcame various difficulties, and finally overcame the temptation of money and fame.

Seeing the heroine happily wearing a wedding dress on the screen, it seems that the whole picture is starting to become brighter and brighter, Li Qian couldn't help but stretch out his hand to grab his chin and ponder.

In his last life, he watched in theaters, bought and rented discs, and went to the film academy to pull films and watch movies. There are 999 movies without a thousand, domestic and foreign, as far as the silent films of the old era. , from the works of the fourth and fifth generation directors in China, to the micro-movies on the Internet, and even many movies that could not be released in theaters and could only be released on DVD to try to get back three melons and dates. He has seen them all. He has his own set of criteria for judging whether a movie is good or bad.

In his opinion, although this film has an old-fashioned plot and clumsy shots, at least its main line is fine, and the rhythm is not deviated. At this time in 1995, it can definitely be regarded as a qualified film.

But, it is such a movie of decent quality, which can let young couples spend their weekend love time, but the scene is extremely deserted-the entire hall, including Li Qian and Wang Jinglu, only sparsely sat a dozen people. , One of them started snoring not long after the opening, and not long after that, two more people left in the middle!

Although the show was at 8:30 in the morning, considering that it was on a Saturday, this result is obviously not good, and the audience's reaction directly marked the whole film as a "smashing movie". logo.

Therefore, when he walked out of the auditorium, 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 was covered in black lines.

Sure enough, this is the standard for girls to judge whether a movie is good or not?

……

Twenty minutes after the end of the first scene, the two went to the bathroom respectively, and then the second scene, "Beautiful".

Unexpectedly, the box office of this film is still very poor!

It was already ten o'clock when the show opened, and it was Saturday again, and it was still an American blockbuster, and it had just been released in China... There were only thirty or forty people seated in the entire theater!

This is Schwarzenegger's muscle piece!

The smooth story, the sharp editing, the pure adrenaline stimulation brought by Schwarzenegger's muscles and fists... Although Li Qian doesn't like this typical American muscle movie much, he still feels it Worth the ticket price.

Even in Li Qian's view, aside from the difference in the subject matter of each other, the strength and sincerity shown by this film are enough to crush the film "Love, No. will lose".

However, the audience still didn't buy it.

"Do you think it looks good?" After watching the movie, Li Qian threw the same question to Wang Jinglu again.

Wang Jinglu frowned and thought for a while, her face tangled.

"Then... 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, I've been playing around... But the story is still pretty good! That male protagonist is really strong!"

Li Qian was speechless again.

So, when he walked out of the auditorium, he was a little out of his mind. But then, when he and Wang Jinglu went to line up to wait for the entry of the third "Three Musketeers in White", they were stunned at the time!

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!

This made Li Qian's heart suddenly excited!

Director: Zhou Kuiyuan, starring: Frontier Defense, Lu Youming, Chen Bin, Sun Yuanyuan.

Entering the story with full anticipation, Li Qian was stunned again!

That feeling made Li Qian feel like he was in Hong Kong in the 1980s! That's...the feeling of Hong Kong TVB's other martial arts films in the 1980s, apart from a few classic Jin Yong dramas!

But the audience just bought it!

While watching the movie, some people sighed in a low voice from time to time—

"I'm grass, so handsome!"

"Really awesome!"

"Okay! You played beautifully!"

This is a man, and a boy.

"The border guard is really handsome. Look at him jumping on the roof, he's so handsome!"

"Chen Bin is also very handsome, and Chen Bin's role is the best!"

These are girls, and women.

Li Qian's eyelids twitched wildly and his head was covered with black lines.

……

At 1:45 in the afternoon, the rice noodle shop.

Li Qian was still a little absent-minded when two servings of rice noodles, one large and one small, were served.

Wang Jinglu eats very delicately. She picked up a few rice noodles with chopsticks, blew thinly, and sucked it into her mouth when it was a little cooler, without moving at all.

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 to be very unmotivated?"

Li Qian looked up at her and seemed to smell the aroma of rice noodles. He suddenly got a little more energy, lowered his head and picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. Wang Jinglu hurriedly shouted, "Be careful!"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then put the rice noodles back.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I don't know what's wrong, but I'm a little nervous! The main thing 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 confused about, so she picked up a few more chopsticks, blew thinly, sucked it into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it before she said the next sentence, "Let's What are you going to do in the afternoon? Otherwise, let's go to the video store, shall we?"

"A video store? Why? Whose song do you want to buy?"

"I don't want to buy anyone, just go shopping! Anyway... I don't want to go home right away."

"Oh."

"By the way, by the way, you also like to listen to Zhou Ai's songs, right? How many albums do you have of her?"

"Three sets, right? "The Dreamer", "Liusha River", and... yes, "Fireworks"."

"Ah, then you are not as much as me. I also have her "Liu Li Cup" and "Crossing the River Without a Bridge", which are also very good. Would you like to go back and lend them to you?"

"OK!"

……

Chi Chi yo, Li Qian finished a bowl of rice noodles in just a few minutes.

Then, he was distracted while waiting for Wang Jinglu to finish eating.

After she finished eating, the two settled the bill and went out, but Li Qian suddenly stopped at the door and said, "How about... let's go to the next movie in the afternoon?... I don't understand something, and I want to see another movie. !"

"Oh, okay, then go watch it, I have nothing to do anyway! Watching a movie is quite fun!" she said.

So, the two went back to the cinema again. Li Qian asked. The conductor said that there were still tickets for the "Alien No. 3" at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so he quickly paid for two more tickets.

This is another imported film. It is said that it will be shown in the last week, and it will be drawn on the weekend.

This movie is very popular, because in my memory, Li Qian had seen it before, and he watched it with Liu Qiang and the others, but Li Qian was still going to watch it again.

Because this is... a science fiction movie!

Because he knows that this is likely to be the highest level of Hollywood movie technology in this time and space in 1995!

Li Qian felt that perhaps this movie could help him solve some of the doubts in his heart.

……

At 2:45, "Alien No. 3" began to check in.

After entering and before the screening, Li Qian looked at the seating situation as usual.

Although it was the last week of the screening, there was still about 30-40% of the audience in the screening room. Taking into account the tragic situations of "Love, Never Lose" and "Sturdy" that he saw with his own eyes this morning, Li Qian knew that this movie really made a lot of money.

This reminded Li Qian of the invasion of Hollywood movies in his last life.

Before the 1990s, the entire Chinese cultural circle, that is, East Asia and Southeast Asia, was always dominated by Hong Kong films. Because of differences in cultural orientation, values, aesthetics, etc., except for Japan, which 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, with the strength of one city and a local market of several million people, develop into the largest film and television base in the whole of Asia. The brilliance of Hong Kong-produced films.

However, with the development of science and technology, as Hollywood's technical capabilities and production models have gradually matured, and the integration of Hollywood's internal resources has basically been completed, entering the last decade of the 20th century, the so-called American blockbusters began to be incomparably high. The ferocious trend hit this market. In the end, with the real sweeping trend formed after the release of Spielberg's "Jurassic Park", and the subsequent blockbusters such as "Titanic", Hong Kong films fell to the ground, and have since declined. The entire Fan Zhonghua cultural circle has since become a box office base for Hollywood blockbusters.

This situation continued until Li Qian was reborn, and domestic movies seemed to be on the rise. They also relied on several urban films and comedy films to get good box office, but they were still weak in the entire market, especially, obviously facing Hollywood blockbusters. Under the heavy pressure, domestic filmmakers still can't come up with any significant innovation. Everyone is making movies with the mentality of making a fortune, so that the world's first so-called variety movie appeared!

Moreover, even if domestic films start to rise, their box office and influence are only limited to the smaller Chinese-speaking market. Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places have long become the back garden of Hollywood.

In this time and space, Li Qian has not heard of "Jurassic Park", and "Titanic" doesn't know where it is, but the development of technology and the maturity of the market form the "big investment, big return". The development trend, but no one can stop it. After nearly a hundred years of development, Hollywood has gradually improved its technical capabilities and its production model has matured, and no one can change it. Therefore, although there is no "Jurassic Park", "Alien 3" is here as scheduled.

……

In the screening room, Li Qian stretched out his hand and grabbed his chin, staring intently at the big screen.

The story of the earth and aliens making friends and then fighting against the evil aliens is of course nothing new to Li Qian, who has watched Hollywood blockbusters in his last life, and the current one seems a bit crude The special effects also gave him a feeling of "not addictive" and "a bit fake", but I have to admit that Hollywood filmmakers are really good at telling such science fiction stories beautifully!

And for the current audience, especially the Chinese audience, the special effects of this level are good enough and shocking enough, and this kind of alien story is also creative enough!

So, when the cute Alien No. 3 on the big screen revealed his super powers to the male protagonist, Li Qian could clearly hear the sound of "wow" in the auditorium...

When the male protagonist was repeatedly molested by his alien friends, he also clearly heard the laughter around him...

And when the alien warship descended over Washington, the grand and brilliant scene made many people take a deep breath and straighten their backs...

Take a deep breath and let out a long breath.

Li Qian knows that the Hollywood blockbuster is really here!

What should the country rely on to resist? A martial arts movie?

He repeatedly rubbed the non-existent stubble on his chin, and fell into thought again.
