Chapter 454 Alternative Asura Field, "Fighting Frontal Battle" in the East and West Palaces

January 2005, 12

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was officially released, and finally won a box office in the early 1 million.

It has become another Hollywood masterpiece with a box office of over [-] million in the Mainland, and also broke the highest box office record of the "Harry Potter" series in the Mainland.

This is already the fourth film in the "Harry Potter" series. Not only has the box office in the mainland increased year by year, but the influence of that dreamlike wizarding world has also continued to expand domestically and even globally.

The author, JK Rowling, has been promoted to the altar of the group, and is one of the most well-known global best-selling authors, as well as a female representative of self-reliance in the world.

No one expected that more than ten years later, the author would be [removed] by the readers and be expelled from the authorship of "Harry Potter".

Stinky book writer, do you know what Harry Potter is...

Compared with the original time and space, the score of "Harry Potter" has increased, about a few million, and finally almost broke through [-] million.

It has also become the third movie with a domestic box office of over [-] million this year after "New World" and "Myth".

Because of its poor reputation, "Seven Swords" ran into "New World" again, but in the end it still failed to reach the 9400 million level, and ranked fourth in the year with a provisional score of [-] million.

"Harry Potter" surpassed 2 million yuan. In addition to giving a good start to the Lunar New Year, everyone is looking forward to the performance of "Embroidered Spring Knife [-]" and "The Promise", and it also makes people see the booming mainland movie market in the past two years. .

Last year, "Kung Fu", "Embroidered Spring Knife", "House of Flying Daggers", "A World Without Thieves" and "New Police Story" had a total of 5 films with a box office of over 18 million, and the total annual box office of the entire plate was around [-] billion.

This year, there have been 3 movies with over 2 million yuan, among which "New World" broke 20 million yuan, and the total box office for the whole year is very close to [-] billion yuan.

If there is no accident, "The Promise" and "Xiu Chun Knife 2" have a high probability of exceeding 2005 million at the box office, plus Lao Mouzi and "The Great Sage of Love", the industry estimates that the total market in 22 will be between 25 and [-] billion. between.

From 2001 to 2003, the mainland movie market was 8.9 million, 9 million, and 10 billion respectively. In just two years, it has more than doubled.

The film and television industry has gradually changed from the previous small fights, but has begun to work hard as one of the pillars of the cultural industry.

Cao Xuan was invited as a representative of the film and television private company to participate in several important internal expansion meetings of the propaganda outlet at the end of the year.

Among them, there was a higher-level high-end economic conference, which was presided over by the second elder himself. Cao Xuan was the only participant in the film and television industry, and even Han Sanye was not involved.

This may also have Cao Xuan's extra halo in the Internet and investment fields.

After all, he is a wholly-owned company and a major shareholder of the top five Internet companies by market capitalization in China. Sun Ventures under his name is also among the best in domestic investment capital, and holds many shares in domestic emerging companies.

Compared with the so-called film and television leader, these two identities of Cao Xuan seem inconspicuous, but they are actually more important.

After the meeting and during the break, some bigwigs even came over to have a private chat with Cao Xuan...

.........

For these meetings, Cao Xuan was very low-key, just being a simple 30-year-old young man listening to the teachings of the big guys.

After the meeting, I participated in a separate gathering of two entrepreneurs, met many old friends, and made some new friends.

In private, he invited Xiao Ma, who also came to the capital for a meeting, to have a meal.

By the way, I showed Brother Xiaoma a tour of my own Cao’s Hutong, and took a walk with Brother Xiaoma on the [-]-meter runway on the second ring road of the capital, and then arranged a private plane to take the handsome brother Ma Send back to Shenzhen City.

Oh, comfortable!
Since then, the smile on Cao Xuan's face hasn't come down for several days. It's very cool to show off his wealth, and showing off his wealth in front of the future boss will directly fill up the inner joy and satisfaction.

Leaving aside Cao Daguan's bad taste, on December 12th the premiere ceremony of "Xiu Chun Knife 12" will be held in Beijing.

Different from the low-key premieres of Starry Movies in the past, this year's "New World" has repeatedly broken records, recruited a lot of people, and exposed various publicity, showing the momentum of the number one leader in the entertainment industry.

In this case, it is necessary to make the premiere more grand just to set off the aura of the stars.

The premiere ceremony was held in the auditorium. It is said that "The Promise" originally wanted to have its premiere here, but Cao Xuan was not robbed.

Director Chen had no choice but to move to the Zhengxie Auditorium next door. However, due to the outbreak of the Shangri-La environmental protection incident, he was disqualified and had to temporarily choose a gymnasium to hold it.

Boss Cao didn't know if Director Chen had drawn Liu Yan's villain in his heart.

Cao Xuan brought the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" to the red carpet. Cao Xuan was dressed in a custom-made black velvet suit.

Zeng Li was wearing a white slim-fitting long dress, with a fairy air, stunning and elegant, while Fan Xiaopang was wearing a slightly cool low-V turquoise evening dress, sexy, charming and graceful.

People's clothing matching is also exquisite, which is more suitable for the characters, and the color matching of the costumes of the characters in the play is roughly similar.

More than 500 spectators were invited to watch the two beauties entering the arena with Cao Xuan's arms gently linked.

Can't help feeling that Cao Daguan is indeed Cao Daguan, a model of a man, a role model of a scumbag...

The three of Cao Xuan have aroused wide welcome from the audience, and the other main creators are weaker.

Especially Chen Minghao and Qin Hao, many people looked confused and didn't know each other at all, which made them a little frustrated.

In addition to the main creators of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", Duan Long, Wu Jing, Hu Jun, and Gao Yuanyuan, who starred in the first part of "Embroidered Spring Knife", also came to join in, and there was a big joint "Embroidered Spring Knife" series, which attracted Many fans cheered.

In addition, there are many artists who are friendly and helpful, such as Hu Jing, Liu Tianxian, Liu Yan, Zhang Jie under Fanxing, Zhou Gongzi, Li Bingbing, Chen Kun, Ren Quan, Yuquan, Pan Yueming, Guo Degang, etc. from other companies.

This is already relatively restrained, and the people who come here are those who have a good relationship. If Cao Xuan relaxes the restrictions, he can directly hold a small party.

Don't underestimate Fanxing's current influence, there are too many people in the entertainment industry who want to curry favor with Cao Xuan.

Of course, a few bosses also came, Yinghuang's sheep boss has been chasing after Cao Xuan, Xiangjiang media ridiculed him as Cao Xuan's younger brother.

Boss Yang doesn't care, he has meat to eat with Cao Xuan, the investment share of "New World" and "Painted Skin", and the preferential treatment for the filming of "New Police Story" and "Mythology", let Boss Yang follow Cao Daguan wholeheartedly.

Fatty Yu of Bona is also very active. This time, he also got a small share of "Painted Skin".

He is relatively close to the Hong Kong circle, but it does not mean that he is determined. He cooperates with Anle, Yinghuang, and Media Asia, and also wants to establish a certain cooperative relationship with Fanxing.

Fanxing has its own distribution channels, and the demand for Bona's cooperation is not high, but sometimes the project collects funds, and I don't mind bringing in another one to eat soup.

Everyone exchanged information, and if Bona has any good movies and projects in the future, Guolan under Cao Xuan can also follow suit.

The old Wang of Guangguang and the Wang family brothers of Huayi are like this. If Cao Xuan, a Hong Kong and Taiwan company, cooperates, naturally he will not help the mainland company to make a fortune.

And the more Cao Xuan was like this, the better his popularity in the industry, and the more stable his influence and status.

Sanye Han also came, but he came alone. Cao Xuan glanced behind him several times.

"That one didn't come?"

Sanye Han smiled a little embarrassedly: "Brother Kai is busy with the premiere, so he really doesn't have time to come over. Please ask me to bring you a message. I wish the box office a big hit."

Cao Xuan knew in his heart that the two films were hyped together at the beginning, and through Han Sanye, they also agreed to support each other's premiere.

In the end, because Director Chen might be pissed off by Liu Yan, he even angered Cao Xuan, disregarding the agreement, and let the pigeons go.

He also asked Mr. Han to bring a message. It's not that there is no mobile phone these days. Others can't get Cao Xuan's phone number. This is not difficult for Director Chen.

It can be seen that Director Chen's tolerance is really not big.

However, Cao Xuan was not angry, and even offered to express his support to Director Chen during the two-day premiere of "The Promise".

It's not about being cheap, but just looking for fun. Cao Xuan is very curious about the reflections of the relevant creators and the media after the premiere of "The Promise". If he doesn't witness it with his own eyes, he will definitely regret it for a long time.

"..."

Sanye Han hesitated to speak. In his opinion, the two sides are in such an embarrassing situation. There is really no need for Cao Xuan to go in the past, but he cannot refuse Cao Xuan's "good intentions".

Originally, if Director Chen didn't come to the premiere that he had made an appointment with, it would have been rude enough, but now that Cao Xuan was going to join in the show, and he refused to let him go, then Cao Xuan would really lose face.

"Mr. Cao, give me some face then, and be merciful."

"What do you mean?"

Cao Xuan looked at Sanye Han playfully: "The film's effect is not ideal? No way, it's Director Chen."

Han Sanye recalled the internal screening of "The Promise" he had seen before, and he didn't know how to describe it to Cao Xuan. He was silent for a moment and muttered.

"You can understand it by yourself, anyway, give me face."

"Good to say."

.........

On the other side, the artist viewing area, according to the division, should be the main creative team of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" sitting together, and the guests sitting together.

But Hu Jing looked at Da Mimi who was beside Zeng Li, and beckoned: "Mimi, come and sit, I also want to hear about your filming.

Empress Xigong didn't give way too much, seeing that Liu Tianxian was sitting next to Hu Jing, she said calmly, "Cici, come here, I'll tell you about the thesis."

Da Mimi and Liu Tianxian looked at each other, and when they got up and were about to take a step, Zeng Li suddenly grabbed Da Mimi.

"The movie is about to start, so don't run around, it's not good for reporters to see."

Hu Jing smiled, and turned to look at Liu Tianxian: "Qiqian, have you selected the new script, please contact me if you have any difficulties."

Liu Tianxian and Da Mimi neither left nor stayed, trembling in the smiles of the East and West Second Palaces, looking around for help.

The onlookers sitting next to them ignored the two of them in unison.

Young Master Zhou looked up at the sky, studying the ceiling structure of the auditorium.

Gao Yuanyuan obsessively observed the invitation ticket in his hand, as if he could see a flower.

Liu Yan closed her eyes and silently recited the script in her hand, and kept her ears off what was going on outside the window. She was so focused that it made people feel distressed.

Fan Xiaopang and Li Bingbing are notoriously at odds, and at this time they are also pulling each other to talk about the current situation enthusiastically, just like good girlfriends for many years.

Only Pan Yueming, who was unclear about the situation, wanted to help out, but was held down by Duan Long and Wu Jing next to him. After whispering a few words, he couldn't help being anxious, and hurried out to solve it.

Seeing this group of veterans who have nothing to do with them, the two of them secretly hated, but they couldn't help expressing their views.

Liu Tianxian gritted his teeth, and said in a firm tone, "I'll talk to Teacher Zeng first, and you can talk back if you have something to do."

Da Mi Mi is more courageous, Liu Tianxian has the confidence to protect herself anyway, she can rely on Hu Jing, so she went all out, trying to offend Empress Nishinomiya.

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it myself."

Zeng Li shook his head with a smile, and let go of Da Mimi's hand: "Okay, you have a lot of backbone, your sister Jing is right, go,"

On the other side, Hu Jing also smiled, and patted Liu Tianxian's head: "It's quite filial, Teacher Zeng didn't dote on you for nothing, let's go."

Afraid of another accident, Liu Tianxian trotted all the way to Zeng Li's side, took a few breaths, glanced at Hu Jing, and said anxiously.

"Teacher, I... I didn't embarrass you just now, did I?"

On the other side, Da Mimi also looked at Hu Jing with lingering fear, for fear that the Empress of the Eastern Palace would be dissatisfied with her performance just now, and at the same time she also pointed at her for support.

Hu Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she patted Da Mimi who was a little startled, and explained: "Just now I was really teasing you, we are not that childish."

Zeng Li also comforted his disciples: "Don't be afraid, it's just a joke, and besides, there is a teacher, no one can bully you."

Although the East and West Palaces each supported a "disciple/little sister", they were not as tense as outsiders imagined.

In fact, in Cao Xuan's house, the three-person world is already the norm. Except for one more person, the rest is like a normal married life.

Even last month, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing celebrated their birthdays together, and the three of them celebrated at home together. They had a good time drinking and eating, and it was Cao Xuan's 30th birthday.

Seeing that, Cao Xuan can fulfill his ultimate long-cherished wish of sleeping together for many years on his birthday in his thirties.

In the end, it got mixed up because of the endless stream of birthday wishes.

The mobile phone was turned off, the landline was turned off, the landline was unplugged, and the calls to Hu Jing finally stopped, and the atmosphere was gone. One person from Dongxi Ergong rolled his eyes and let him sleep on the sofa.

That night, Cao Xuan was so angry that he didn't fall asleep until 4 o'clock in the morning, and all four Samsung mobile phones in use and spare were smashed...

However, although the success fell short in the end, being able to tolerate and indulge to this point shows that the relationship between the East and West Palaces is quite harmonious, and naturally they will not openly fight.

It was just that the two sides were bored and tacitly played the daily "Sura Field" game at home.

However, Cao Xuan usually does the multiple-choice questions at home, but now it is the turn of Liu Tianxian and Da Mimi, the two core members of the Eastern and Western Party.

Master Cao Duanshui Xuan has rich experience, he doesn't care about these things at all, and he is able to do a job with ease.

And the two Xiaomengxin thought that they had encountered a fierce battle between the two palaces, and they were completely unprepared, dazed and scared. If they were not smart and decisive, although they were a bit out of line, at least the team was right, otherwise they would just be cold.

After Cao Xuan finished chatting with Mr. Han, he came to sit down at the main seat, and immediately received the resentful gazes from Liu Tianxian and Da Mimi.

It made Cao Xuan a bit puzzled, he didn't complain about the teeth and bald forehead of the two, and he didn't take off his pants to sleep, why are you making such a grudge...

Ignoring the two girls, Cao Xuan focused on "Xiu Chun Knife 2" which started to play.

The very beginning of the movie is the Battle of Salhu. Lu Wenzhao, played by Wang Zhiwen, kneels on the ground with several soldiers in dejection.

At the critical moment, a man covered in black and dirty came out from the shadows. It was Shen Lian played by Cao Xuan.

It is still the martial arts style of the previous "Xiu Chun Knife", which is sharp, quick, and crisp. It kills a few tartars and saves colleagues.

The two announced their names, and under the high slope of the setting sun, they looked at the densely packed Ming army corpses at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Wenzhao's eyes were numb yet sober, and his voice was hoarse and firm: "The lives of tens of thousands of people are gone like mowing grass. If we don't want to die like this, we have to change our way of life..."

The charm of Wang Zhiwen's lines is self-evident. With just a few lines, people instantly realize that this role is not easy.

If it weren't for Cao Xuan's Shen Lian to have the popularity of the previous work, I'm afraid he would also be able to suppress the limelight.

The next scene is eight years later, Shen Lian is in the position of a hundred households in Jinyiwei, filling in the pitfalls of the previous one.

During an operation, Shen Lian's subordinates tried to die, but Ling Yunkai, played by another general banner, Qin Hao, grabbed the handle and forced him to death. There was a rift between the two.

Qin Hao did a good job. He played a vicious villain so vividly that it made the audience's teeth itch.

In the conversation, a piece of information was also revealed, that is, Shen Lian's good brothers Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan went out on business for half a year to straighten out the logic of not having two characters in the prequel.

Then the heroine Beizhai appeared on the stage, relying on her outstanding looks and demure and intellectual temperament, Shen Lian fell in love with her at first sight, and paved the way for Shen Lian to fall in love with her paintings, which can be regarded as a soul connection.

Lu Wenzhao, on the other hand, flattered Wei Zhongxian, and with the respect of thousands of households in Jinyiwei, disregarded his dignity, went to fish in person, and was appreciated.

In this scene, the two major actors face each other, and you come and go, contributing to a very high level of literary and opera.

Since then, the main plot of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" has also completely kicked off.

Compared with the first part, the setting of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" is larger, and the background is set on the conspiracy of the change of imperial power.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, the carpenter emperor, appointed Wei Zhongxian, an eunuch, to fight against the civil society.

Although many people in later generations believe that a large part of the predicament of the Tianqi Dynasty came from the civil servants, this does not mean that the Eunuch Party represented by Wei Zhongxian is a good person.

Even judging from the bad consequences caused by the people, at least in the apocalypse, the eunuchs were even worse.

This is also normal, the civil servants group want to face, and they will find some high-sounding reasons to do evil secretly, and they were in a weak position at the time, and they deliberately restrained themselves.

There are many nouveau riche in the eunuch party who are eager to make money, and the methods are more brutal, and the minions are ruthless, frequently copying the family and destroying the family, and the appearance is particularly ugly.

More importantly, the civil service group has controlled the position of public opinion and kept pace, and the eunuch party's original seven points of evil have become twelve points.

Don't underestimate the power of public opinion.

Later generations of Laomei can portray Da Mao as a demon who intends to provoke World War III, and countless people who have experienced the information explosion firmly believe in this statement, let alone in the ancient times when information was blocked.

Therefore, many "sighted people" firmly believed that the problem of Ming Dynasty was caused by this group of eunuchs, and if they were killed, the world would be peaceful and Ming would be revived.

But the eunuchs are protected by the emperor behind them, so what should we do?Then kill the emperor and replace the emperor.

Lu Wenzhao is this "sighted man".

After the Battle of Saerhu, Lu Wenzhao witnessed Daming's disastrous defeat with his own eyes, and his heart was shaken.

He desperately climbed up, not hesitating to be treated as a clown, just to help Da Ming out of this vicious circle of constant decline.

He took refuge in Zhu Youjian, the king of trust, and hoped that this young and vigorous vassal king could replace the fatuous Zhu Youxiao and become the lord of the Ming Dynasty. The shame of Salhu.

And Zhu Youjian, the subjugated emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has various images, which is very controversial.

Some people think that he is a good emperor who loves the people like a son and has outstanding abilities, but his luck is bad, otherwise he will be the master of ZTE in Ming Dynasty.

Some felt that he was self-willed and self-willed, and that if it weren't for his various tricks, Daming would not have died so quickly, even if he didn't continue to die.

"Embroidered Spring Knife 2" portrays Chongzhen more negatively, and he is also a "savvy man" like Lu Wenzhao.

I feel that the problem of Ming Dynasty lies in the eunuch party, which killed Wei Zhongxian, and the world is peaceful.

Therefore, he conspired with Lu Wenzhao, and through the internal response, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of Tianqi, fell into the water while swimming in the lake, fell seriously ill, and his life was hanging by a thread.

But historically speaking, [killing the brother and killing the king] is indeed a bit dark Chongzhen.

Regarding Zhu Youxiao's death, there are various speculations. Some say it was a pure accident, and there are conspiracy theories that the civil servants or eunuchs did it, and there are even speculations about the Tartars.

Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the Tartars killed them. At that time, they did not have that ability, and the chance of Chongzhen to do it was even smaller than that of the Tartars.

The Tartars can still send a few dead soldiers, but Chongzhen, a powerless vassal, has no power at all.

Neither has the ability to [kill the brother and kill the king], nor can it escape the investigation of the civil official group and the eunuchs.

But then again, if there were really such a group of "sighted people" to help, and afterwards to instigate internal fighting between the civil service group and the eunuch party, it is not impossible for Chongzhen to succeed.

The brother-killing plot of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" is a fictional plot in real history. As long as it does not violate historical development, bold imagination, and logic can be self-looping, it can convince the audience.

In fact, when Cao Xuan was writing the script, he also wanted to blackmail the civil society, and wanted to turn this matter into the civil society's acquiescence or push Chongzhen to do it.

But if it is written like this, the civil official group will have the handle of Chongzhen, and loopholes will appear in some plots, so I gave up this idea.

Let’s talk about the plot of the movie. Emperor Tianqi is dying, and Chongzhen is about to take over. However, [Killing Brothers and Kings] is not a trivial matter after all, and there are still some minor troubles that have attracted the attention of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Chongzhen can only entrust Lu Wenzhao to solve it.

All of this had nothing to do with Shen Lian. Lu Wenzhao was grateful for Shen Lian's life-saving grace, but actually didn't want to attack him, and Shen Lian didn't know about these things.

But there is a Hokusai in the middle.

Beizhai was the daughter of a criminal official who was rescued by Chongzhen. Because of her resourcefulness and ability, she was considered half of Chongzhen's aide and confidante, and knew many of Chongzhen's secrets.

Chongzhen didn't want to kill her at first, but Bei Zhai was targeted by Jin Yiwei for spreading Donglin party poems, so he could only reluctantly give up.

Shen Lian was so pleased with Beizhai, he couldn't bear to do it, and killed Ling Yunkai, who was related to Wei Zhongxian, by mistake. Lu Wenzhao caught him. At that time, Lu Zhengchou had evidence in the archives, so he simply let Shen Lian use it as a knife and set fire to the archives.

On the other side, Shen Lian's good brother Pei Lun, who was forced to death before, came to avenge his friend and was also involved in this case.

In the end, Shen Lian, Pei Lun, and Beizhai found out the secret, and Lu Wenzhao and his junior sister Ding Baiying led people to kill them, and both sides almost suffered losses.

On the other side, Chongzhen finally came to power and sent a large number of Jinyiwei, not only to kill Shen Lian and others, but also to kill Lu Wenzhao and other insiders.

Realizing that he was abandoned, Lu Wenzhao was very desperate and wanted to die, and the rest of them also desperately.

In the end, except for Bei Zhai, who escaped under cover in advance, and Shen Lian was captured, all the others died in battle.

The plot of the original movie was rather awkward. Shen Lian was always for this woman from the beginning to the end. Although he replayed the plot line and knew that he could not escape, but watching the plot, he felt that he deserved it.

The star version of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" has cut some of the emotional scenes, and it is more about shaping the core selling point of "Xiu Chun Knife"——

The struggle of the little people in the big background.

Just like in the first "Embroidered Spring Knife", Zhao Gonggong chose three brothers, and they had no way out, so it is the same in "Embroidered Spring Knife 2".

Beizhai, Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying, as insiders of the conspiracy, must be targeted by Chongzhen.

Shen Lian was Lu Wenzhao's loyal subordinate, and he had saved Beizhai, but he couldn't escape the relationship. With such a close relationship, he would rather kill by mistake than let him go. Killing Ling Yunkai and burning the archives were just speeding up.

Pei Lun even "courts death" by himself. From the moment he entered the game for his brother, it was impossible to leave.

So the ending of everything in the movie is predestined, and everyone's struggle is just to escape, but after all, few escape, this is the real Shura battlefield.

Hokusai's setting is also better than the original version, at least it's not so pretentious, and he still babbles when he is running for his life.

There is a relationship between the two, but it is not deliberately expressed. It is more of a spark between life and death.

In the end, Shen Lian covered Bei Zhai to leave, and Bei Zhai's escape, in a sense, would also make Chongzhen dare not kill easily, and let the two sides save each other, which is more firm and shocking than pure love.
