Big names rise

He Mu has always felt that the template for Chinese-language blockbusters is "Hero". At the beginning, Zhang Yimou brought Chinese-language movies into the era of blockbuster movies by himself, but after so many years, so many blockbuster movies have emerged, including several of Zhang Yimou's own works. The influence and box office of "Hero", and successfully defeated the word-of-mouth of Chinese-language costume blockbusters.

"Red Cliff" has high hopes from filmmakers, hoping to save the reputation of Chinese-language blockbusters with this movie, but after seeing this movie, He Mu feels that this possibility is unlikely, and it may even further tarnish the reputation of Chinese-language blockbusters.

It is undeniable that director Wu Yusen's work is a sincere work, well-produced, magnificent, and the war scenes are shocking. Hu Jun's Zhao Zilong and Zang Jinsheng's Zhang Fei all have excellent performances in martial arts. Cooperating with big names such as Liang Chaowei and Zhao Wei, but the gentle and elegant Xiao Qiao is not at a disadvantage with these big names. Although the acting skills are a bit blunt, the momentum is not inferior to anyone. Even from the perspective of this part, Lin Zhiling is more like As the heroine, Zhao Wei's role is not as good as hers.

The film shows a lot of historical features of the Three Kingdoms period. Some sets and props are very historical. It can be seen that the staff behind the scenes have worked hard, but there are still many unsatisfactory aspects throughout the film. Among them, the most prominent and unacceptable is that the purpose of the Battle of Chibi turned out to be a war launched by Cao Cao to fight for Xiao Qiao.

That's right, Cao Cao wrote the poem "Tongquechun Locks Erqiao Deeply" to express his admiration for the two Jiangdong beauties, but there are many political purposes in it.Writing Cao Cao as such an old lover who is trapped in love is a bit underestimating this famous conspirator and politician in history. Maybe this can make the theme of the movie more romantic, and even remind foreign audiences of "Troy". Battle of Troy.Therefore, I have an intimacy with this Chinese historical blockbuster, but what about the Chinese people's own feelings?At least He Mu felt that such a setting did not please him. He would rather that Cao Cao launched this war to eliminate his enemies who unified the country.

And then there's the lines.It is unrealistic to speak completely in ancient Chinese, but the dialogue is too modern and fashionable, which will make people feel dislocated in time and space.Some lines, such as Zhuge Liang's "Slightly Understand Slightly Understand".And Xiao Qiao's "Mengmeng, stand up." He Mu laughed, and he was very curious.Because the pony born in Chudi will be named "Mengmeng", is there any relationship in this, why he can't figure it out so much.

In addition to the flaws in the plot and lines, there is another big problem in "Red Cliff Part One" which is "top".A complete movie should tell a complete story.Even for the series of movies that Hollywood is used to, leaving an easter egg or tail at the end of this one is for the next one to have more surprises. In fact, each one is a complete story, which will not make people feel confused , I do not know what to say.

But "Red Cliff" forcibly splits a story and a movie into two halves. Just watching "Red Cliff. Part One" is an incomplete work at all, and the story is only half told.It lays out the upcoming battle, and it stops abruptly when Sun Shucai, played by He Mu, is playing football.It makes people up and down, and looks very depressed.

On the whole, He Mu thinks that "Red Cliff. Part [-]" is definitely a first-line super blockbuster in China, and the big scenes and special effects are far more than Zhang Yimou's three blockbusters, but there will be some problems in the plot, lines and rhythm. If you think it is harmless, then this will be a visual feast that you can't miss. If you have to be more serious, this will be an unbearable bad movie.

He Mu thinks that the word-of-mouth of "Red Cliff. Part [-]" will not be too good, but the box office will not be bad. With such a strong lineup and such a huge investment, there are still big companies such as China Film, Bona, and Orange Sky standing behind it. Chinese box office records are not out of the question.

At the end of the movie, the ending song is "Heart War" sung by singer Ai Hui, a Chinese Tibetan girl Alan Dawa Dolma. The soundtrack and theme song of the film are almost all produced by Japan Ai Hui Records, because Ai Hui is Orange Sky Orange Sky is also the main investor of "Red Cliff", so the film has a lot of Japanese film style and influence, and Japan is also one of the main markets of "Red Cliff", and the Japanese have always respected Chinese culture of the Warring States and Three Kingdoms Therefore, in Japan, "Red Cliff" has inherent advantages compared with other Chinese-language films.

When the movie was completely over, everyone stood up and applauded. This applause was dedicated to the director Wu Yusen. Although there are various flaws, "Red Cliff. Part One" is definitely a shocking work. The most exciting of the epic blockbusters.Although He Mu didn't see his performance and only had a quick kick shot, Director Wu is definitely qualified to accept his praise.

Walking out of the auditorium, Lin Zhiling asked Zhao Wei in a low voice, "Did you feel the ground moving just now?"

"It seems to be a little bit." Zhao Wei nodded.

He Mu listened behind the two, it turned out that he was not the only one feeling it, could it be an earthquake?

At this time, a staff member hurried over and said to Han Sanping in surprise: "There's an earthquake, there's a big earthquake in Sicha!"

"Sichuan earthquake? Just now when the movie was about to end, I felt that the ground was moving. Could it be that the earthquake has spread to the capital? How big is this earthquake?" Yu Dong who was beside Han Sanping asked in surprise.

The staff member told him that the earthquake was initially predicted to be 7.9 on the Richter scale (later revised to 8.0), with the epicenter in Wenchuan City.

Everyone took a breath, 7.9 magnitude, 0.1 magnitude higher than the original Tangshan earthquake. Anyone who has a little knowledge of geography knows that every time the Richter scale increases by one level, the eruption energy is 30 times that of the previous level. times, so the later the earthquake magnitude, the more damage it will cause.

Although He Mu did not experience the Tangshan earthquake in 76, his parents often told him about the events of that year. Hengshui, which is also in Hebei, was also greatly affected, and many houses were damaged to a certain extent. , Tangshan City was completely razed to the ground.The Wenchuan earthquake was stronger than the Tangshan earthquake, so one can imagine what Wenchuan will look like now.

In just a few minutes of this short discussion, several artists' managers called them one after another, asking them to stop what they were doing and go back to the company first. It was the moment when their compatriots were killed, so they could let go of filming. The crew of "True Treasure" will suspend work temporarily. This is the time for artists to assume their social roles.

After returning to the company, He Mu asked Datang Yida if the endorsement fee had arrived, and if the other party called, he would donate directly.

On the way back, he continued to receive information about the current tragedy of Sichuan from various sources. The entire Sichuan province centered on Wenchuan suffered huge losses, and several small cities were almost razed to the ground. It is complex, mountainous and watery, and the earthquake will cause other disasters such as mudslides. In addition, other surrounding provinces have also been affected by the earthquake.The earthquake was too violent and too sudden. This is not the time to delve into the significance of the existence of the Earthquake Administration. How to rescue the affected people and rebuild their homes is the most important thing.

Datang nodded, and Xiao Fang said: "The company will not participate in the endorsement fee this time. All 140 million will be donated in your name, and the company will also contribute 200 million."

At this time, Xiao Fang was browsing the information about the earthquake on the Internet, and now almost everyone on the Internet is talking about this catastrophe. The reporters and the military stationed in Sichuan as quickly as possible, and sent the latest news there. Four Rivers has become a purgatory on earth. Those pictures and the tragic conditions of the children and the elderly in the pictures are unbearable to look at. Many fast-moving companies have already started donating money, and Xiao Fang, a tough guy, has also moved his heart.

With a heavy heart, He Mu went back to the apartment, turned on the TV, each channel stopped broadcasting other programs, and uniformly broadcasted text and audio-visual news from reporters from the front line of the earthquake. Seeing the tragedy there, even broadcast news The host choked up several times.

He Mu put down "Red Cliff" and "True Treasure" in his mind, turned on the computer, and wrote an article on his blog, "Stay strong, China, stay strong, Sifeng!" ", today's He Mu blog has no romance, no love for Zilin, today's article is only an ordinary Chinese person's deep condolences for the victims of the disaster, and calls on all compatriots to do their best to help the affected people.

This is the most sensational article written by He Mu, which is very different from his style. After it was published, He Mu fell asleep sleepily. The next day, He Mu saw the strong response on the blog. Many fans of He Mu expressed that they would collect Donating money to the victims of the earthquake made He Mu proud of having so many kind-hearted fans. He felt that he could do more besides donating money.

After the earthquake, the land of China was plunged into grief and grief. A large number of touching people and events emerged in the place where the earthquake occurred. In addition to the tenacious struggle of the people in the disaster area, ordinary people and performers also actively contributed to the disaster area. Running around, in the next few days, the shooting speed of "True Treasure" slowed down, and He Mu participated in the One Foundation's celebrity fundraising activities most of the time, using his influence to raise more money for the disaster area, because he actively raised the power of fans He is powerful and has raised a large amount of funds. Mr. Li Lianjie specially thanked He Mu. During this period of time, through the One Foundation, He Mu also met many people in the entertainment industry who are keen on charity.

In the face of the disaster, the positive response of the performing arts circle has been praised by the public opinion circles. Young artists including He Mu, Huang Xiaoming, Li Yuchun and others have set an example and actively devoted themselves to charity. Of course, some artists have done some inappropriate things during this period, causing Public outrage and verbal criticism... (to be continued...)
