my superstar girlfriend

Chapter 176 It's been a long time since I watched a movie together

On the first day of the new year, the fighting in the Spring Festival stalls instantly entered a white-hot stage.

On Golden Dragon Films.com, Mu Chen's "Infernal Affairs" became the highest-rated film released during the Spring Festival with an astonishing score of [-] points.

It was closely followed by Cheng Jie's "Special Mission", which ranked second with [-] points.

"Crazy All the Way" ranked third with [-] points.

But "Monster Catcher" scored only [-] points, almost falling below [-] points.

And this film is also the one with the lowest rating among the many films directed by Zhang Gang.

However, the level of ratings cannot determine the level of box office.

Word of mouth is good, but fans may not like it.

There are too many films that are popular or not.It is not uncommon to see movies that are not well received.

Leaving "Infernal Affairs" aside, Cheng Jie's "Special Mission" has a good reputation, but the style has changed. In it, the literary drama overwhelms the action drama, which is undoubtedly the only one among Cheng Jie's films so far.

In the movie, Cheng Jie showed his acting skills at the level of an emperor.

It's a pity that although word of mouth is good, fans don't buy it very much.

Cheng Jie's most appealing feature is his actions, not his acting skills.

There are not many fight scenes in it, and they are not as exciting as expected. Although Cheng Jie is getting older, his films are gradually reducing action scenes, which is completely understandable.

Understandable does not necessarily support.

"Monster Hunter" has a poor reputation, but it is not without bright spots.

The special effects inside are undoubtedly the best in Chinese movies.

At least, there is no special effect in a Chinese-language movie that can compare with it.

The storyline of this drama may be thinner and the characters simpler, but the special effects of this movie are undoubtedly excellent, and the visuals are extremely shocking.

As for "Crazy Road", the story is not complicated, even very simple, but there are many laughs in it.

This is a laugh-out-loud movie.

And this kind of film is undoubtedly the most popular during the family carnival period of the Spring Festival.

However, in terms of influence, "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly the biggest.

According to media reports, this film is undoubtedly the most among several films.

Even, almost all Hong Kong media reported on this film.

Among them, most of them are words of praise.

""Infernal Affairs" has made a breakthrough in the expression of police and gangster films, and its profound meaning has broken the conventions of Xiangjiang's commercial films. It can be called a classic!"

"The attractive charm of "Infernal Affairs" comes from the wonderful plot design and the grasp of the narrative rhythm."

These reports were analyzed in great detail.

In the past, Hong Kong police and gangster films often deliberately showed violent scenes, with bloody scenes full of visual impact such as car chases, fierce fights, and hot gun battles to satisfy the audience's sensory enjoyment to the maximum extent.

However, the tone of the entire film of "Infernal Affairs" is mainly black, the characters have ritualistic shapes, and the eyes are slightly cold, giving people a strong sense of formal beauty.

From the performance of the plot, there are no contrived thrilling moments in the film's climax passages such as killing and death, but use slow motion and religious music to soften the cruel performance.

The whole film abandons the bloody fighting and gun battle scenes of the big scenes, and even the tense scenes of the confrontation between the police and the robbers are not the core that attracts the audience the most.

On the contrary, the conflict of tragic role identities of the characters, and the resulting psychological games are the main selling points that make the audience hold their breath.

The film takes the fate of two undercover agents, one black and one white, as the main line. The contest between the police and the underworld is full of tension, and the rhythm is advancing step by step, interlocking and climaxing.No breath.

On a deeper level, "Infernal Affairs" breaks through the traditional themes of Xiangjiang police and gangster films.

"Infernal Affairs" uses an undercover story to express the inner experience of "eternal life cannot escape the pain of hell and reincarnation".

The film expresses the deep experience of their abstract subjectivity "infernal hell" through the painful feelings of the characters played by Liu Guohua and Gu Daohui who cannot determine their own situation in the undercover experience.

The popularity of "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly amazing.

Whether it is film critics or ordinary movie fans, they have given a very high evaluation to this film.

Relevant film reviews are also the most among the four films.

The media unanimously praised "Infernal Affairs". In their view, this film is no less than a milestone for Xiangjiang Films.

As for whether the increasingly sluggish Hong Kong film market can be reversed, it will take time to test.

Of course, the acting skills of Liu Guohua and other actors in the movie are also highly praised.

However, Mu Chen, the screenwriter and director, was undoubtedly the one who received the most praise.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office statistics on the first day came out.

"Monster Catcher" won the single-day box office champion with 6000 million.

"Crazy All the Way" followed closely, earning 3000 million at the box office.

"Infernal Affairs" ranked third with a gap of several million.

The fourth-ranked "Special Mission" also won more than 1000 million first-day box office.

The box office of all four films exceeded [-] million in a single day.

This is also quite rare in the Spring Festival stalls.

However, the fifth-ranked movie has only more than 2000 million.

If it is changed to other schedules, it is possible to rank in the top three.Unfortunately, on the first day of the Spring Festival, the box office was only a fraction of the top three films.

This is the Spring Festival, the period with the most brutal fights, and the period with the highest cumulative box office in a single day.

The box office on the first day did not give people too many surprises, and it is difficult to see who will win and who will lose.

This box office data undoubtedly has a lot to do with the film's schedule.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, according to the box office statistics on the second day, "Monster Hunter" still won the single-day box office champion, but the box office fell relatively severely, only 4000 million.

And "Infernal Affairs" counterattacked "Crazy All the Way", ranking second with a box office of 3000 million.

"Crazy All the Way" ranked third with a slight gap of a few million.

The film also saw a drop in box office on its second day of release, though not as much as "Monster Catcher."

"Special Mission" is still fourth, with a single-day box office almost breaking the [-] million mark.

Of the four films, only "Infernal Affairs" has seen its box office increase unabated.

This is undoubtedly very eye-catching.

This is undoubtedly related to the momentum after last month and word of mouth.

It is also because of this that when the theaters are adjusting the film schedule, the film schedule of "Infernal Affairs" has increased.

This also gives "Infernal Affairs" the possibility to compete for the single-day box office champion.

However, Mu Chen didn't pay attention to these.

He was heading to the airport to pick up Li Ruoxi.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Li Ruoxi recognized Mu Chen at a glance, even though Mu Chen was wearing a mask.

"Yes! Are you going to make it up to me?" Mu Chen said with a smile.

Li Ruoxi smiled and rolled her eyes.

It had nothing to do with her, it wasn't her fault that the flight was delayed.

However, it seems to be a normal thing for the plane to be late.

Mu Chen didn't pick up Li Ruoxi's luggage, but directly hugged her into his arms.

"Okay, be careful not to be recognized." Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

Although he also wanted to stay in Mu Chen's arms for a while, he was also afraid of being recognized by the people around him.

With her and Mu Chen's current popularity, once they are recognized, they will inevitably be in trouble.

After all, neither she nor Mu Chen had bodyguards or assistants by their side.

"Let's go!" Mu Chen smiled, and then went outside with Li Ruoxi's luggage.

For Li Ruoxi's arrival, Mu Chen's parents and grandparents were naturally very happy.

However, some people are not so "happy".

As soon as Li Ruoxi came, Mu Chen's grandma and mother couldn't help whispering in Mu Ze's ears again.

What else could Mu Ze do but smile wryly.

"I think you should take Ruoxi to watch a movie." Mu Ze said to Mu Chen, "I'm afraid you haven't seen a movie together for a long time, right?"

"Yo, the straight man of steel also understands this?" Mu Chen said in surprise.

"Don't mention the straight man of steel, we are still brothers." Mu Ze's expression turned pale.

Mu Chen smiled and stopped mentioning it.

Today's Mu Ze has a shadow on these four words.If he continues to talk, I'm afraid that my elder brother really can't help but want to hit someone.

"Do you want to go together?" Mu Chen asked Mu Ze with a smile, and said, "It's fine to stay at home."

"No!" Mu Ze said angrily.

I can't stand you showing your affection in front of me, so I sent you to the movies.

I go with you?Do you think you are not bright enough, or do you like to seek abuse?
Mu Ze couldn't help complaining in his heart.

You show affection like no one else, have you considered how I feel as a single dog?

Mu Chen didn't force it, booked a ticket, and went to the theater according to the time.

Watching Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi drive away, Mu Ze felt a sense of loneliness for some reason.

"Which movie are you watching?" Mu Chen asked Li Ruoxi.

"Which one do you want to watch?" Li Ruoxi said with a smile, "You decide."

Mu Chen looked at Li Ruoxi.

"I went to see your "Infernal Affairs" with my parents on the first day of junior high school." Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

Mu Chen knew Li Ruoxi well.

Li Ruoxi also understood Mu Chen.

Mu Chen knows that Li Ruoxi must want to watch "Infernal Affairs" because of him, and Li Ruoxi also knows that Mu Chen has watched "Infernal Affairs" countless times and doesn't want to watch it again.

Both care about the other's feelings.

"How about "Monster Catching"?" Mu Chen said immediately without hesitation.

There is undoubtedly a market for comedies and blockbusters in China.

"Monster Catcher" has a poor reputation, but there are many fans who like it.

Otherwise, it will not be the single-day box office champion of the Spring Festival for two consecutive days.

As for whether it will continue to be re-elected, it is unknown.

"Okay!" Li Ruoxi nodded with a smile.

The Spring Festival file, like the National Day file, is a time when there are no Hollywood movies.

There are no Hollywood titles, but the competition is fierce.

The film schedule of "Monster Hunter" has dropped slightly, but the attendance rate is still extremely high.

Mu Chen bought tickets in advance, and the seat was a bit out of the way.

The story of "Monster Hunter" is indeed simple.

In fact, the stories of many visual blockbusters are not complicated.

This is a world where the monsters are opposed to each other, and the character settings are remarkable.The footage of the movie is beautiful, the fighting scenes are extremely exciting, and the visual effects are indeed the best in Chinese movies today.

However, the emotional entanglement between the monster catcher played by the hero Huang Cheng and the fox demon played by Fan Sisi is a bit bloody.

Not to mention, this movie is actually pretty good.

Mu Chen had a vague feeling that this movie was probably mainly aimed at foreign markets.
