Who are you calling powerful?

July 9th, Saturday

Sun Zhong went on a blind date with Chen Lan for the second time. After having a barbecue, they had a good conversation and it was still early, so he suggested going to the movies.

"Are there any good movies to watch recently?"

Chen Lan is a doctor and is usually busy with work. She is okay with TV dramas but doesn’t really know much about movies.

"Let's watch "Wushuang". It's a movie starring Wei Yang. The trailer looks pretty good. It's a crime theme."

Sun Zhong enthusiastically recommended it. He is a movie lover and is familiar with recently released movies. He also did his homework in advance to prepare for this date.

Among them, "Wushuang" is a movie that he personally wants to watch and highly recommends.

The quality reputation is guaranteed, and Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang are also celebrities that the public cares about, and they are topical when talking about it. In contrast, "Chill 2" is more complicated and has many metaphors, which is easy for ordinary viewers to not understand.

"So you like Wei Yang?"

Chen Lan looked at Sun Zhong with a smile. The latter was about to nod, but thought it was better to play it safe.

"It's okay. Mainly because I think he's good at filming. I usually have limited knowledge of the entertainment industry."

Chen Lan nodded, and then suddenly said: "I don't like him, he is too scumbag."

Sun Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not impulsive just now.

As an artist with a lot of female fans, Wei Yang has a lot of girls who like to admire him online and offline. Therefore, when many boys talk about Wei Yang, their first thought is to pretend to be a fan in order to build relationships with girls.

As the most popular artist nowadays, Wei Yang's topics and works are rich enough that even those who don't know anything about the entertainment industry can talk about it.

Sun Zhong had a blind date before who was a fan of Wei Yang. The two initially broke the ice by chatting about the popular "Nirvana in Fire" and Wei Yang's gossip.

But it was precisely because of her that Sun Zhong vaguely noticed that something was wrong with Chen Lan's attitude towards Wei Yang.

Sure enough, I and the person named Wei are really destined. Last time I met a fan, this time I met a negative fan.

Although Sun Zhong has a lot of affection for Boss Wei, and even has a small admiration for his self-made experience, but compared with the major events in his own life, the "idol" can also be discarded.

"Yeah, he's a very talented person, but it's a pity that he doesn't have good moral character."

The painting style changed, and after a few casual sentences, Sun Zhong recommended other movies.

The homework was not in vain. He knew all the movies released in this theater and time period today.

There was nothing he could do about it. Chen Lan looked so in line with his criteria for choosing a mate. She had a baby face, a sweet voice, and a pair of long legs. In addition, other conditions were also good, so Sun Zhong started licking her without knowing it.

Chen Lan is not interested in "Cold War 2".

As Sun Zhong expected, she was busy at work and preferred mindless movies for relaxation and entertainment.

"Big Fish and Begonia" was dismissed as a cartoon.

Sun Zhong, who had long been used to it, was too lazy to explain that animation and cartoons were different. Moreover, he read the reviews of this movie and knew that it was a tragedy and depressing theme, so he decisively passed it.

"Why don't you watch a romantic movie, "To Youth, So You're Still Here", starring Wu Moumou and Sister Shuangzi?"

Sun Zhong didn't want to watch this movie. One look at the cast and introduction told him that it was either a bad movie or a crazy and bloody movie.

But there are really not many other movies, and girls generally prefer to watch such emotional-themed movies.

"If you don't read this, people with the surname Wu are even worse. Haven't you read the news? Canada's artillery king."

When it comes to Wei Yang, Chen Lan is not happy at most, but for Wu Moumou, it is undisguised disgust.

Just last month, someone broke the news that Wu Moumou had an appointment with Nasha, and released suspected bed photos and audio of Wu Moumou.

Later, revelations about Wu's numerous dates and flirtations were posted online. The evidence included candid photos and chat records, covering the time even when he was in South Korea.

However, one thing is true, some of these revelations are indeed fabricated to smear and gain popularity.

Wu's team grasped this point, coupled with the fact that all the reports were never confirmed, and with the support of capital and fans behind them, they overcame the difficulties.

However, Wu's popularity and reputation also suffered a heavy blow, and "Canadian Gun King" became a popular internet meme.

His reputation and character collapsed, and to a certain extent, Boss Wei was criticized.

That's what Chen Lan thought. She felt that the pretender named Wu, who was a playboy himself, had a clean big boy persona, and even went too far to ask someone without saying anything, and might also involve seducing sleeping powder. This was simply disgusting.

Although Wei Yang is not a good person, at least he is a scumbag, and no matter how many boats he steps on, at least he will not attack ordinary people or fans.

So people are all compared!

In the past two years, as good men in the entertainment industry have fallen apart, or idols and top celebrities whose positive personalities have collapsed, Boss Wei's evaluation has continued to rise.

Everyone hates to be deceived, but when the halo filter is broken, boss Wei, who is still honest, will have a good impression.

Moreover, no one except Boss Wei knew that this was just Wu Moumou's small test, and he would make a big contribution in the future. Maybe he could elevate Boss Wei to the list of good men...

Chen Lan expressed his disdain for Boss Wei before, but Sun Zhong was already very happy.

Most men don't like their partners to have a good impression of another man, which does not conflict with Sun Zhong's good impression of Wei Yang.

Now seeing that Chen Lan hates Wu XX, whom he dislikes, Sun Zhong is even happier. This is called a tacit understanding and a natural match.

But after being happy, there is still one problem that needs to be solved, and that is what movie to watch.

Chen Lan made a choice and pointed to the extremely gorgeous poster: "Isn't there also "Legend of the Gods"? Why don't you watch this one?"

Sun Zhong was a little embarrassed. As a senior movie fan, he already had a high level of distrust in the so-called domestic blockbusters of gods and demons. Before coming here, he specifically checked the reviews of the first batch of audiences and became even more distrustful of the movie. .

Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend "You Are Still Here" without mentioning this movie.

At least the former has a subject matter advantage, which is suitable for audiences like them who are in the rising period of ambiguity. The latter is probably a waste of ticket money.

"Okay, just look at this, there are quite a few celebrities."

Although I lamented in my heart, the purpose of this trip was not simply to watch a movie. Chen Lan's wishes came first.

The two bought tickets, prepared drinks and popcorn, and entered the theater. The crowd was okay, so they found a seat and sat down. Chen Lan also took out her mobile phone to take photos.

Sun Zhong kept this in mind and looked to see if Chen Lan's post on WeChat Moments at night had a dating element. If so, the matter would be half settled.

At the beginning of the movie, although Sun Zhong was not optimistic about the movie, he still paid a certain amount of respect for it.

However, after only reading the beginning, he couldn't stand it any longer!

He could actually understand that the architecture and costumes of the Shang Dynasty were difficult to restore and elaborate, but the strong Western medieval flavor was just too overwhelming.

Roman orthodoxy is singing! ?

King Zhou and Daji were dressed in all kinds of fancy clothes and lived in a fairy castle or a castle belonging to the Lord of the Rings. The former had wine and meat in the forest, while the latter had to...cannibalize people every day?

That's right, Daji didn't even act, she just set the background of the nine-tailed demon fox, who eats people every day. King Zhou not only knew about it, but also discussed with him whether he had a good appetite.

Then the background is introduced. The Shang Dynasty where the two lived was extremely powerful, and King Zhou was ambitious and wanted to unify the world.

That's all. What's outrageous is that in order to show the power of the Shang Dynasty, there is a...spaceship flying in the sky? !

Sun Zhong: "..."

I regret it. I was too unprincipled for women. I should have persisted just now.

Chen Lan: "..."

Sun Zhong wouldn't think his taste was so bad if he chose some crappy movie blindly, right?

The movie continues, telling how King Zhou tortured various races, and then the male protagonist "Lei" appeared, ready to act on behalf of heaven, assassinate King Zhou, and rescue the people who were tortured and enslaved.

At this time, Sun Zhong and Chen Lan's attention was no longer on the movie, because one of the elder brothers left the scene cursing.

"What a porn movie!"

Because he was a little close to the corridor, Sun Zhong heard this complaint and looked at each other in confusion with Chen Lan, who also heard it.

After all, it was part of the dating process. Proposing to leave could easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so the two of them could only continue to endure it.

The following plot is about the protagonist Lei making a big fuss in order to save people, fighting Daji, King of Zhou, and then getting involved with Jiang Ziya, creating a chaotic melee.

There is nothing to say about the plot of this kind of episode. The most important thing is that the special effects and uniforms are also very bad, and it has a strong copycat style.

In the end, Jiang Ziya and the others escaped, and then got a reminder that if they want to defeat King Zhou and Daji, they need the Sword of Light and the Body of the Golden Dragon.

This strong sense of seeing the Lord of the Rings made Sun Zhong really unable to stand it anymore. His whole body was tingling so much that Chen Lan was also restless.

At this moment, the two heard a strange sound.

Looking to the side, I saw a couple sitting a few seats away couldn't stand it anymore and simply started to nibble on each other. As for whether there were any further movements, they were blocked by the boy and couldn't see clearly.

Sun Zhong and the others were not the only ones to notice the situation, someone took the lead, and soon another couple on the right front of them also hugged each other.

Sun Zhong's heart ached when he saw it, he didn't care about the movie at all, and started to move his hand towards Chen Lan.

Blind date is not about falling in love. The progress should be faster. There is no need to be coy and coy. If you can go out to dinner and watch a movie for the second time, it shows that there is a downward trend.

Sun Zhong was not a timid Chu brother. He was polite before because he really liked Chen Lan and was afraid of scaring people away.

Now that the atmosphere was just right, I thought about testing it out. When he slowly reached over, he put his hand on Chen Lan's hand calmly. The latter seemed startled and struggled slightly, but Sun Zhong exerted a little force. , unable to struggle, so she let him hold it honestly.

After playing with the jade hand for a while, Sun Zhong felt that he was about to make more progress and began to make further breakthroughs.

In short, Sun Zhong couldn’t remember what the ending of the movie was, but what Chen Lan’s lipstick and mouthwash tasted like, he was still recalling it the next day.

Sun Zhong suddenly realized something.

When going on a date to watch a movie, you shouldn't look for good movies, but bad movies. People's attention will not be on the movie, and it's easier for them to do tricks.

After reluctantly sending Chen Lan home, Sun Zhong turned around and found a nearby cinema and bought a ticket for "Wushuang".

Although the last movie was not a loss and even gained a lot of advantages, "Legend of the Gods" was so bad that Sun Zhong was afraid of having nightmares if he didn't find a good movie to wash his eyes.

Since it was a bit late, the film schedule for "Wushuang" was not enough. Sun Zhong arrived at the theater and waited for half an hour before finally watching "Wushuang", which he had longed for.

Compared to the exaggeration of "Legend of the Gods", the plot of "Wushuang" is much simpler.

A young man named Li Wen was arrested in Southeast Asia and was involved in a counterfeit banknote case. He was extradited back to China and interrogated by policewoman Yu Nan. However, Li Wen was always unwilling to cooperate with the police due to various concerns.

At this time, Li Wen's confidante, the painter Ruan Wen, came to fish for him, breaking Li Wen's psychological defense.

The police used this as a breakthrough. After negotiation between the two parties, Li Wen was willing to plead guilty and confess to the counterfeit banknote gang in order to obtain some loose conditions.

Then Li Wen began to explain, and the plot recalled how the "painter" group played by Wang Zhiwen made counterfeit banknotes.

Many people like to watch crime movies, where the characters are often not police officers and positive characters, but villains.

Some gangsters and criminals in police films have high popularity and charm, which involves many factors, including human nature and society.

We won’t discuss these too high-end topics here, but you just need to understand that the rise of criminals in this genre is definitely one of the climaxes of the movie.

In particular, the villains of "Wushuang" don't seem that bad. In the early stage, they mainly focus on technology, which makes it easier for the audience to... "sense of immersion".

If you don’t dare to break the law in real life, why can’t you enjoy watching the excitement in a movie?

Especially when it comes to printing banknotes, who has never had such a dream? Moreover, it is not domestic banknotes, and it does not even cheat one's own people, so there is no sense of guilt.

In addition, the plot is well-paced and interlocking, making the audience happy watching the counterfeit banknote gang in "Wushuang" make banknotes.

The same is true for Sun Zhong, who feels the joy of succeeding in starting a business. He wants to sell counterfeit banknotes all over the place, cheat a lot of Americans, and divide the money among the gang.

But after the climax, the plot took a turn for the worse.

Frequent accidents, together with the fight with the Southeast Asian warlords, and the final internal strife, the team fell apart, and many people fled to the death or injury.

The audience was in awe, and generally felt that the rest of the plot was about trying to catch the escaped painter. Li Wen probably had a lot of credit for it, and there might even be a confrontation between master and apprentice.

Audiences who have watched too many Hong Kong movies can already imagine the ending in which the painter kills Ruan Wen, Li Wen kills the painter in anger, or both die.

It's a bit cliché, but the counterfeit banknote material was shot really well, and many viewers wanted to get a bunch of people to get color-changing ink and acid-free paper.

If he hadn't read the movie reviews beforehand, Sun Zhong would probably have similar thoughts.

But now he knows that there is a big twist in "Wushuang". Although he did not read it carefully for fear of spoilers, but based on experience, he estimated that Li Wen and Ruan Wen might not be that simple.

Ruan Wen is a painter by profession!

He guessed that Li Wen was just holding the pot for his sweetheart, and Ruan Wen was the Li Wen.

Then the subsequent plot slapped him in the face. When the twist was over and the truth was revealed, the movie theater continued to scream.

"Li Wen" is a fake. There is no painter at all, or he is the painter. Ruan Wen is also a fake. The two of them deceived the police and also deceived all the audiences.

Seeing this shocking reversal, Sun Zhong's eyes that had been damaged by "Legend of the Gods" finally came back to life.

"This is a movie!"

When the movie ended, Sun Zhong was still a little out of his emotions and opened Douban to rate it.

"Legend of the Gods": One Star

It's so bad that I don't even want to type and criticize it. I just want to warn everyone not to waste money.

"Wushuang": five stars

While walking, Sun Zhong wrote a small 200-word review. He summarized it in one sentence and said it was done. The dozens of yuan tickets were definitely worth it.

Sun Zhong was a little hungry and planned to have a midnight snack at the food stall in front of the cinema, and then he saw Chen Lan picking out starch sausages in front of the stall.

"Didn't you say you were sleeping?"

"Didn't you say you were working overtime to catch up on documents?"

The two asked each other, but couldn't help but smile at each other. When Chen Lan took out the "Wushuang" movie ticket that his phone dropped at his feet, Sun Zhong started to joke.

"How about Wei Yang's movie?"

Chen Lan took a bite of the starch sausage and said firmly: "The movie is great, but the person is still a scumbag."
