Chapter 358 [41] Films that broke into Hollywood!
"V for Vendetta", this movie was quite famous in Chen Yu's previous life.

It is banned in many countries, but in the hearts of countless movie fans, it has a very high status.

It even reached the point of becoming a god.

Especially the male lead V, a masked weirdo wearing a smiling mask; he never took off his mask from beginning to end in the movie, only his smiling face, which has become an eternal classic and is used by countless people on WeChat and QQ. , this is the Douyin avatar.

There is a line in it that is extremely sensitive - "The people should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of its people"!
The screenwriters of this movie are Lily Wachowski and Lana Wachowski, the director brothers of "The Matrix". They later became sisters, and both of them successfully transitioned into transgender. These two sisters are indeed Strangely, before they entered the film industry, they vowed to write a script with an ending that the audience would not be able to guess.

Because they grew up hating movies with predictable endings.

Therefore, "The Matrix" came into being, and the trilogy has become the highest-rated commercial blockbuster in the world; and now, they have begun to create "V for Vendetta". If they want to surpass "The Matrix", their ambitions are not small!

"You might as well give this movie a try!"

Anyway, if you wear a mask the whole time, the world will be empty in the future.

"Let's wait until Cannes is over!"

In the end, Du Qifeng gritted his teeth and persisted.

"I, a dying old man..."

……

After accepting interviews from numerous reporters and the red carpet ceremony of the premiere, Chen Yu, Lao Mouzi and others walked into the theater first.

Then, there were reporters, professional film critics from all over the world, as well as Hollywood and international superstars. Even Wang Jiawei walked in with the main creative staff of "2046". Next to him, in addition to Liang Chaowei, there were also An old acquaintance of Chen Yu - Du Qifeng.

Everyone looked at the big screen carefully. "House of Flying Daggers" was displayed bilingually in Chinese and English, and it unfolded slowly.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed, and the originally noisy venue became extremely quiet.

Chen Yu also sat in the first row and read it carefully. The beginning of "House of Flying Daggers" that he relied on for his defense in his previous life flashed through his mind.

Chen Yu subconsciously turned on the computer and logged into the US stock account he opened in Xiangjiang.

The 1000-seat Lumière was still fully occupied even without any audience entering.

In the end, is it worse than in the previous life, or is it that with his blessing and the crew without any incident, he has made a martial arts blockbuster that exceeds Lao Mouzi's lifetime standards? !
"Movies are like a bridge that allows people from different countries, different ethnic groups, and different regions to walk together like a big family!"

At 8 p.m., "House of Flying Daggers" will be screened on time at the Lumière Cinema. This is the largest cinema in Cannes and can accommodate 1000 people to sit and watch the movie; the name of the cinema is also to commemorate the Cannes film. The first president of the festival was Louis Lumière!
He and his brother Auguste Lumière invented the world's first movie camera. In 1895, the two brothers screened the world's first publicly sold movie in Paris.

Otherwise, it is very likely that it will be knocked into the main competition section, because although the plot of this movie is average, the shooting is quite top-notch. In the end, few photographers in the world dare to shoot like this.

"The Cannes International Film Festival is such a big family, allowing everyone to communicate with each other!"

After a prologue by Lao Mouzi, "House of Flying Daggers" jumps out of its title sequence.

The production team specially invited the photographer who shot "The Lord of the Rings" to come to Hong Kong to do the filming himself. After studying the script, the latter found that he was not competent at all, so he backed down.

"Next month, you can buy Tencent!"

He said hello to Chen Yu and then sat down; Chen Yu looked at the many people in the row in front of him, and Sean Penn was among them.

Less than half a billion US dollars is in the stock market.

It can be seen that the whole world is full of expectations for Lao Mouzi's new film.

These two roles can at least guarantee that Chen Yu will have a foothold in Hollywood.

Other movies will depend on future cooperation with CAA; when it comes time to spend money and public relations, Chen Yu believes that CAA has the strength.

Chen Yu is somewhat looking forward to cooperating with CAA. If he wins this role, Chen Yu's first step in Hollywood will be in line with expectations.

May 2004, 5, the day when "House of Flying Daggers" premiered in Cannes.

After a while, Quentin, the chairman of this year's Cannes jury, took Mr. Xu and other eight judges and sat in the second row.

He had to accept a lot of media interviews and go watch movies.

"..."

After closing his account, Chen Yu browsed the news for a while and then set off for the Cannes Film Festival.

Apple's stock price has doubled. It was bought for 14 yuan, and now it is 28.3 yuan, with a market value of 61 billion. Chen Yu bought it for 840 million US dollars at that time. Including dividends and dividends, the current account has more than 1980 million US dollars.

This time, he chose to exhibit in Cannes with the newly completed "The Big Event"; the 8-minute shootout and explosion scene at the beginning of the film, and the 10-minute final scene were shot in one shot. The filming even alarmed the Cannes organizers.

Chen Yu looked at the funds in NetEase's backend. 1000 million has now become more than 2928 million!

Chen Yu has seen the news that Tencent will be listed on the Hong Kong stock market on June 6, so it is safer to buy this.

Get another Han from "Fast and Furious 3", and the long-term insurance will be stable.

This is Chen Yu's transcendent object.

Chen Yu was also curious.

The two of them can be said to be pioneers in film. The fact that Cannes is so famous has something to do with these two brothers.

“So, you still have to make money!”

Chen Yu changed into casual sponsor clothes and accessories this time, and came to the Film Palace in Cannes with Lao Mouzi and his party.

The consequence is that we were unable to catch up with Cannes, which I have to say is a pity.

NetEase's stock price has risen to 57 yuan, more than doubled. After all, Chen Yu's purchase price was only 21 yuan!
“Domestic companies still make money!”

However, the film was only completed in early April. The post-production time was too tight and there was no time to participate in the competition, so it had to be released in Cannes instead.

Liu Dehua's voice came out from the big screen at the end of the title sequence.

"Ok?"

Chen Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Because the opening title of "House of Flying Daggers" in the previous life was not Liu Dehua's narration, but a long string of words.

What about the Tang Dynasty... It just explains the background, which takes about a hundred words.

Many people are actually not in the mood to watch it at all. Not to mention foreigners, even foreigners can’t read the subtitles because there are too many words, and it’s a lot of long-winded writing.

But if you don’t read this passage, you won’t understand the core of the movie.

But now, all the text has been removed and replaced by Liu Dehua's monologue.

Sound is undoubtedly more contagious than words, especially Hua Zai's voice is very magnetic.

Accompanied by this, there is also the scene of the lonely figure of the elderly Liu Dehua.

With a white beard and a frown covering his forehead, he lived in a claustrophobic room and quietly picked up a rusty throwing knife.

"It, together with the world's number one stunt 'Flying Knife Kill', which once frightened people in the world, has long been in my old hands and has gradually become desolate!"

"For many years, I have been immersed in endless regrets. I recall a dark period in my life, and my little sister and Xiao Chen who died because of my dark heart and crazy love!"

scoff!

As soon as the screen was pulled, Chen Yu's handsome figure riding a fast horse appeared on the screen.

"drive--"

Chen Yu laughed and rode towards the city gate.

"My surname is Liu. During the Dazhong period of the Tang Dynasty more than 30 years ago, I was a head catcher in Fengtian County, three hundred miles away from the capital Chang'an!"

"I was in my 30s at that time, single and unhappy, but I could use the knife skill of 'cutting off water' with one hand, and I had a brother, Xiao Chen, who worked with me in the arresting room. Xiao Chen was young and handsome. He is as sharp as a knife and has a smile as bright as the sun!”

Following Liu Dehua's voice, it was obvious to everyone that Chen Yu, who jumped out with grace and grace and was riding a horse, was the brother he mentioned - Xiao Chen, the young and romantic Chen Yutou.

He is indeed very handsome!
"At that time, the court was corrupt and incompetent, and the people were living in dire straits!"

"Many anti-government organizations have emerged among the people. Among them, the 'Flying Knife Sect' uses flying knife weapons. Everyone has high martial arts skills, so they are the most powerful!" "The gang leader Liu Yunfei's unique skill of 'Flying Knife Kill' is invincible in the world and is coveted by people in the martial arts world. !”

"The Feidao Clan is approaching Chang'an. The imperial court sent eight elite teams and the Flying Eagle Battalion to set up an ambush and capture and kill them with heavy troops!"

"In that battle, the troops sent by both sides perished together. Liu Yunfei was seriously injured. When he was dying, a masked man appeared beside him. He was Liu Yunfei's best friend for many years, Suifeng Hero. Suifeng had devoted himself to Liu Yunfei's behalf. Serve your life and eliminate countless enemies inside and outside the gang!"

"Everyone says that no one except Liu Yunfei has seen Sui Feng's true face; the traitorous Sui Feng forced Liu Yunfei to hand over the 'Flying Knife Killing' technique, but Liu refused and died of exhaustion!"

"Since then, there have been rumors in the world that Liu Yunfei died at the hands of the police!"

As Liu Captou, played by Andy Lau, narrates, scenes of fighting between the Flying Sword Sect and the imperial court also appear on the screen.

Everyone now somewhat understood the background of the story of "House of Flying Daggers".

As for this section, the movies in the previous life were all written in flashes of words, with no current scenes or narration at all; so without this explanation, many people would actually be very confused when watching it.

But in this life, it was handled very well, at least even foreigners could understand it.

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!
One by one, the policeman's knives were picked up, and young Chen Yu and Liu Dehua sat opposite each other. One was rubbing his legs in a very carefree manner and sitting there without any image; while Liu Dehua, played by Liu Dehua, was sitting upright. , wiping the knife there.

The main film finally begins.

Chen Yu and Liu Dehua are the chief and deputy chief agents of this yamen.

"I heard that Feidaomen has elected a new gang leader!"

"There are rumors from the headquarters that they are operating in our Fengtian County. You and I are ordered to arrest the new gang leader of Feidao Clan within ten days!"

Liu Dehua said to Chen Yu casually.

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment and sneered: "Ten days?"

"Are you kidding me? It took Liu Yunfei three whole months!"

Chen Yu waved his hand, showing a lazy expression that he didn't want to pay attention to.

Liu Dehua smiled slightly and walked up to Chen Yu: "There are various signs that the new blind dancer girl in the famous Peony Square in Fengtian County is most likely Liu Yunfei's daughter..."

"Oh?"

When Chen Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He took a sip of the tea next to him and squinted his eyes. He said with great comfort, "Isn't it pretty?"

One sentence revealed his preferences.

"I've never been there, how do I know?"

"Hahaha, I'll just go and have some fun!"

Chen Yu smiled cynically, his expression romantic and wild.

The next second, the scene of Chen Yu from Peony Square teasing the maiko flashed out.

At first glance, it was found that Chen Yu was a frequent visitor here. Every maiko knew him and played all kinds of unsightly games for men and women with him.

At this moment, Mei Yanfang, disguised as the madam, walked out coquettishly: "Hey, isn't this Brother Chen?"

"I heard that you have a big star here, can you let me see him?"

Zhang Ziyi, who was wearing luxurious palace attire, immediately came to Chen Yu with the support of her maid.

This make-up still had a visual impact on many people in the theater; Chen Yu also had to sigh that Zhang Ziyi's look was quite attractive.

Chen Captou played a cat-and-mouse game with his little sister, took off her palace clothes, and kept teasing her.

Finally, Chen Yu, who was almost drunk, asked her to dance and sing again.

The blind Zhang Ziyi jumped up immediately.

This dance can be regarded as a small climax in the early stage, because it is a sword dance from the Tang Dynasty, and a professional teacher was hired to perform it as a stand-in.

"it is good!"

All the foreigners in the audience immediately applauded.

This dance is indeed beautiful and very atmospheric.

But Chen Yu pushed Zhang Ziyi down and destroyed it. He wanted to force Zhang Ziyi on him.

Fortunately, when the two of them were tearing their clothes apart, the righteous head catcher played by Andy Lau arrived.

The two of them can be regarded as one being the bad guy and the other being the bad guy.

The purpose was to put Zhang Ziyi in jail, because she was most likely the daughter of Liu Yunfei, the former head of the Flying Knife Sect.

"Wait a minute!"

"Master, I'm still counting on my little sister to attract business for me!"

"Nonsense, how can a blind man attract business?"

"Her dancing is unparalleled in the world, why not stay and take a look?"

Mei Yanfang raised her eyebrows, and finally Liu Dehua agreed.

Zhang Ziyi suddenly danced the blind dance in front of everyone, the most coquettish and beautiful dance in the world.

It was even more shocking than the one just now.

The background sound of Ambush from All Sides sounded, and everyone in the audience was mesmerized by it. This dance was really so beautiful, and the combination of images and colors was achieved to the extreme.

On the big screen, Zhang Ziyi danced her sleeves and played drums, so beautiful!

Lao Mouzi took this kind of scene with ease.

clap clap clap!
The audience once again burst into applause.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ziyi's last dance contained murderous intent.

scoff!

She swung her sword fiercely and stabbed Liu Dehua's life gate, and everyone who saw it screamed in surprise.

It was so thrilling.

This sword almost killed Liu Dehua, but in the end, he still failed, and Zhang Ziyi was directly thrown into the sky prison.

"Huh!~~"

What started as an extremely thrilling scene also came to an end at this moment.

Everyone thought that Zhang Ziyi was going to meet a miserable end. Unexpectedly, Suifeng Daxia, played by Chen Yu, broke into the prison and rescued the blind Zhang Ziyi.

Crackling!

Chen Yu fought one against ten, and his kung fu and sword skills were fully demonstrated at this moment.

This is a section of the Jie Tian Prison designed by Cheng Xiaodong for Chen Yu. The swords are sharp and the body skills are ghostly. The entire boss's jailers are no match for him.

The aesthetic essence of Chinese martial arts was completely revealed by Chen Yu at this moment.

"Oh, great!"

"This period of Chinese Kung Fu!"

"Oh my God……"

Countless foreigners watched with great interest and couldn't help shouting. Everyone was amazed by Chen Yu's skills.

What they didn't know was that Chen Yu's fight had just begun...
