After a long commercial, the movie started. Facing the gorgeous costumes, changing colors, shocking sound effects, and spectacular scenes, the audience was overwhelmed, and they watched this landmark production in Chinese film history in amazement. Then the beautiful sound of the modern Chinese temperament echoed in his ears, and the vast desert of Dunhuang, the rain of arrows in the Daqin Empire, and the forests of the Changhu Lake in Jiuzhaigou reappeared in his mind and fell asleep. This also includes me. When I woke up, I suddenly realized that there was something missing in "Hero", and it was a crucial thing. This thing is called sincerity, it is sincerity to the audience. Because of the lack of sincerity, "Heroes" allows us to see a group of heroes with almost perfect human nature, and hear the fourth realm of swordsmanship that is too high, but it has never touched us. Powerful technological power can conquer the senses of animals, but cannot touch the hearts of human beings. A few days later, I flipped through the movie section of "Southern Weekend", and there were four big characters written at the top of the line: Exciting Heroes. Below are the comments of several well-known figures in the cultural world on "Hero". After that, I saw all kinds of criticism in the big newspapers and tabloids. For a while, "Hero" became synonymous with content over form and fake big empty movies. But the box office has been soaring, setting a record for the highest revenue of a Chinese film. So Comrade Zhang Weiping justly played the slogan "box office is the last word" to speak out for his child "hero". This move is immediately reminiscent of Wang Jing. Why didn't the third-level box office king in Hong Kong think of using Lao Zhang's trick to erect a biography for himself? It's so wrong. In the face of the criticism and the soaring box office, Director Zhang immediately decided to start filming his second martial arts film, emphasizing that this time he will work hard on the storyline and never disappoint fans and audiences. Everyone is naturally happy. After all, "Hero" is just an experiment. Who hasn't matured yet? This time, he invited Jin Shuai, Liu Tianwang and Meijie, plus Zhang Meimei and Song Dandan. Actually went to Ukraine to shoot, enough to run around. In the middle, I met Sister Mei's death. The shooting of the movie itself has a legendary color, and everyone can't help but look forward to it. What's more, "House of Flying Daggers" spent 15 million to organize a grand premiere. The set Peony Square was moved to the premiere scene, and many stars, old and young, large and small, were invited to sing and perform, offering this and that. It is no exaggeration to describe it as "unique and unprecedented". At that time, the author suffered from dental inflammation and was recuperating at home. It happened that a friend was coming, so I took out 200 yuan to buy a scalper ticket, which was considered a treat. Guest, by the way, use shadow to heal wounds. This is the premiere, so I have to go at night. The hawking at the entrance of the theater is still the same, and the scalpers' team has grown significantly. They hold theater tickets, make generous speeches, spit all over, and continue to show their extraordinary skills as "gold medalists". Taxi drivers were also very busy, and there was a long queue of cars in front of the theater. As usual, after a long period of advertising, it opened with a grand opening. At the beginning, I explained the background of the story as usual, so everyone knew that this was a matter of the Tang Dynasty, when there was a flying knife gate on the rivers and lakes. This time, the protagonist has changed from an emperor hero to a fast blind girl, which is close to public life. But the sound and the picture are not as good as before. Without Jet Li and Donnie Yen, martial arts would be boring. Fortunately, there has been innovation in language, and quasi-yellow language such as "touching from the bottom up" has also appeared, which is a major breakthrough in ancient costume dramas. The beginning of the story is a bit fascinating, and it's hard to understand what you're talking about. When the plot of Liu Zhukuai acting as an undercover agent appeared, everyone laughed heartily, as if watching the ancient costume "Infernal Affairs". In the end, the two men started to kill a woman. People can't help but think of the description of "winter thunder bursts with summer rain and snow" in "Shang Xie", and people have to marvel at the screenwriter's extraordinary ability to learn from others, a love triangle movie, even in "The Injustice of Dou E" The scene of "Flying Snow in June" has been moved over, what else can't they think of? The friends who came from afar had already fallen asleep because of the fatigue of the boat and the car. The author has no sleepiness because of the toothache. I struggled to finish watching the whole play, and my teeth became even more uncomfortable. Thinking over and over on the way home, Fang suddenly realized that the so-called "House of Flying Daggers" is a fraudulent project specially set up for movie fans in all directions. The cost of the project is the fame of the old man, and the method is bombarded with advertising, targeting the money in the fans' wallets. A man cannot capsize three times in the same gutter. Since then, he has vowed not to join Laomouzi's martial arts "giant system" again. Time flies like an arrow, time flies like a shuttle. Once upon a time, Laomouzi began to return to the literary film, and invited Ken Takakura to play the slogan of family first, to impress everyone. Regardless of whether you return or not, I will not be your third time, save it, I will read it silently in my heart. Coincidentally, one day I was watching TV with my dad. Laomouzi was promoting "A Thousand Miles Riding Alone", which was quite sensational. My dad and I both had tears in our eyes. OK! I believe you again, after all, you are an art director. If you can’t make a martial arts film well, can you make a literary film well? So I went with my father, but this time, there are only evening tickets. Like "Heroes", it starts at 11:30. Because my father hadn't been to the cinema for more than ten years, he was very excited, like a big kid. I'm also very happy, Bi It is quite rare in this impetuous era for a person who is almost running three to watch a movie about father and son with his father. The movie is about us Yunnan people, and the scenery is very friendly. At first, my father and I watched it very carefully. But the story is too plain, as plain as a documentary, with some shabby taste. I think I’m someone who can watch family films very well. When I was a child, I watched “Take the Wrong Car” and “Mom Loves Me Again”, and when I grew up, I watched “Forrest Gump”, “Rain Man”, “Love in the Big River” and “The Man in the Mountain” That Dog" and "The Call of the Distant Mountains", including watching Lao Mouzi's "My Father and Mother" and "Alive". Which time was not moved to tears. But this time, I couldn't be moved. Is it really aesthetic fatigue? I was not surprised. The story is still going on. When the prisoners in the prison are crying collectively, I turn my head to look at my father and find that he is already sound asleep. On the way home, my father said to me, "Don't waste money like this in the future. I think Zhang Yimou is at this level. This kind of movie is not worth it." I didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly. Recently, Laomouzi began to shout "Golden Armor in the whole city". It makes me think that Mr. Zhang is very similar to a bookseller. The bookseller went to the president with a book. The president said that the book was good, and the bookseller advertised that it was a book that the president liked to read, so the book sold well. The second time the booksellers brought a book to the president to evaluate, the president said that the book was bad, and the booksellers went around saying that it was the book that the president hated the most, so the book was still selling well. When the booksellers brought the book to the President for the third time, the President did not speak, and the booksellers advertised that it was a book that even the President could not evaluate, so the book was even more popular. Thinking of this section, I can't help but chuckle. Then I felt that Mr. Zhang was more like the old man who could fool everything in Zhao Benshan's sketch "Selling abduction". While laughing secretly, he suddenly felt that Chen Kaige was wronged, that he actually took the blame for Zhang Yimou. It should be noted that after the public has been awakened by too many ambush, they often exert all their revenge on another person who dares to set an ambush for them, and Chen Kaige unfortunately became this other person. Finally, I finally understood a passage from Mr. Ma, who I learned when I studied political economy many years ago: capital is afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum. As soon as there is a suitable profit, capital is emboldened. If there is 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; at 20% profit, it is active; at 50% profit, it is desperate; for 100% profit Profits, it dares to trample all human laws; with 300% profits, it dares to commit any crime, and even risk hanging its head. From this point of view, Laomouzi and Chen Wuji ambush the public, make some profits for the capitalists, and also make some for themselves. It is expected and reasonable to spend money. There is really nothing to make a fuss about. March 27, 2006 Xiaoma at his apartment in Kunming
