      Cheers to the Olympics!

      The vulgar title matches the wobbly small national flag. Today, I went to celebrate the Olympic Games with the imperial doctor and celebrate the prestige of our country. The main way is to watch the blockbuster "Red Cliff".

      Closer to home, talking about the Olympics and gaining popularity, the main reason is to praise "Red Cliff"!

       First of all, as a blockbuster, it combines all the typical bad elements without any leakage, Taiwanese accent + whining girl; Cao Cao is too...

      The Mainland Film Industry Moving Forward in the Dark - My Analysis of "Red Cliff"

      I still couldn't help watching it. For a young man who grew up with Glorious Games, everything about this historical subject is infinitely attractive, even if there are a lot of bad reviews.

      I am not talented, but because of the endless interest in the Chinese history of the alternation of the Han and Jin dynasties, I have read Chen Shou's Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Guang's Zizhi Tongjian of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and watched the...

      History and historical stories, starting from Chibi.

      In the beginning of high school, I hated history, and I often got 2 or 30 points in history quizzes, so every time I saw the history teacher, I would hide away. Fortunately, she didn’t know me very well at that time. Later, the representative of the history class sitting in front of me paddled, but the teacher dismissed it. Because of the class representatives and the various committee members around me, the only one left was me, so the teacher chose me again. When I represented the history...

      cold jokes in chibi

      [After watching] The cold jokes
      in Chibi went to see Chibi with my classmates today, and I was completely shocked.

      I thought it was the most classic first:

      Zhou: "It's not hot, why are you using an old fan?"

      Pig: " I need to keep calm at all times."

      Me: "!%¥%#¥!·#!¥!"

      There is a paragraph behind the two of them looking at Caojun Water Village, Zhou asked what the pig thinks.

      Pig: "I need to calm down, you What?"

      Zhou: "I...

      Wu Yusen still shot the Three Kingdoms he wanted

      I think this film is not afraid of spoilers, the Three Kingdoms. It's funny, knowing in advance doesn't hinder it, but it saves you from getting stuck.

      At the end of the film, I felt that the audience was very calm, they didn't listen to the cheers, and there were no bad noises (although there was a lot of online noise), and they wanted to watch the next part. Chopped) Borrowing Dongfeng (changed the calculation) to set fire to Chibi so many scenes are not released, but Chibi is...

    Behind the scenes gags

    When the crew of "Red Cliff" was filming the collision of two ships in Xiaotangshan, Beijing, an accident happened, causing 1 death and 6 injuries   .
    When casting a cast, the creator was a little melancholy about ZhangFeng yi's role as Cao Cao. Because ZhangFeng yi's appearance is too healthy and decent, the creator is worried that his role as Cao Cao will not put enough pressure on the entire movie.
    Because Lin Chi-ling's long and...

    Evaluation action

    Although the film is known as a blockbuster costume action film, there are not many war scenes. Except for the Nagasaka slope blockade at the beginning of the film and the Sanjiangkou defense battle at the end of the film, it is basically an account of characters. This is a very awkward topic. Except for Zhao Yun played by Hu Jun, which can make the audience feel relaxed, the other generals are completely flat. But this does not...
