I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 787: Spring Festival Fight (Part 23) ()

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Liang went to the cinema with his grandparents...

I chose The Wandering Earth 2

"The Wandering Earth 2" was announced three years ago to be released during the 2023 Spring Festival.

As the sequel to a blockbuster movie, this film has attracted much attention from the beginning and is a top candidate during the Spring Festival.

Industry estimate: guaranteed box office of 35 billion!
Other movies with commercial ideas will naturally regard "The Wandering Earth 2" as their primary target!
So, two hours later, a large number of negative reviews appeared for The Wandering Earth 2, such as "I fell asleep in the cinema several times", "The Wandering Earth 2: Too much", "It's too obvious to make money, and they even made a prequel!"…

It's normal. Any top movie will definitely encounter attacks from the Internet troll army. Even before the movie is released, it is being chased and blocked by competitors...

Nowadays, we don’t hire internet trolls anymore. We can use AI to easily post thousands of negative reviews, and they are all different!

It’s okay. Although some people have organized to criticize this movie, after it is released, there will be audiences and netizens who will whitewash it.

Then, the heat came up!
In fact, the film industry is already the weakest high-end industry in China. Even those who collect phone bills are more hegemonic than them.

If you don't watch it, no one forces you to...

Even if the director implies all kinds of things to the audience, it doesn’t matter. Just think of him as an incompetent barking!

However, these people who slandered the film never thought that The Wandering Earth 2 is 142 minutes long...

Made me laugh...

A lot of smear campaigns appeared within two hours, which clearly shows that they are following the normal movie operation...

……

The Wandering Earth 2 is divided into two parts. The first part mainly focuses on Liu Peiqiang's meritorious service in the space station crash and Tu Hengyu's story line...

Two lines!
Human society has chosen both the Mountain Moving Plan and Digital Life Plan, but there are not enough resources and computing power.

This caused large-scale riots, and some countries simply sent armed personnel and hackers to blow up buildings, control drones, and blow up space elevators.

What they want is a digital life solution.

Liu Peiqiang represents the Moving Mountains Project, while Tu Hengyu represents the Digital Life School…

In order to enrich Tu Hengyu's plot, Ma Zhao was added...

Ma Zhao is the dean of BJ Digital Life Research Institute and the father of the 550 series!

The first Indian scientist who appears in the movie is named Suresh Sen. His research is similar to that of Ma Zhao. Ma Zhao and his name together is MOSS?

MazhaO Suresh Sen…

No one is more eagerly looking forward to the success of the digital life experiment than Ma Zhao, and Tu Yaya is the experimental opportunity he has been longing for.

Later, he made a deal with Tu Hengyu and agreed to use 550 million yuan to give Tu Yaya a complete life. It seemed like he was being blackmailed, but it was obviously a trap set for Tu Hengyu to jump into.

Trapped in Ma Zhao's trap, Tu Hengyu had no choice.

Two lines go hand in hand...

The movie ends with a space station crash!
After watching the movie, my grandfather was very confused: "I have read the original novel. The original novel should be a dispute between the spaceship faction and the earth faction... Where did this digital faction come from?"

Shen Liang explained: "It is original... The spaceship faction and the earth faction are essentially immigration factions... The difference is how many people are taken away. We have studied it and found that after installing a planetary engine on the earth, the earth will become a spaceship. This contradiction does not hold true... But the digital life faction is different. Digital life essentially gives up the future continuation of the human species and ensures the beauty of current life..."

Grandpa nodded: "Oh, so that's what I mean..."

The background of the original novel of "The Wandering Earth" is that when the sun ages and a helium flash may destroy the earth, the human beings on earth are divided into two major factions: the spaceship faction and the earth faction.

The disagreement lies in whether humans should build spaceships to send a small group of people away to preserve Earth's civilization, or build planetary engines to escape with the Earth.

For this thing, there is no need to choose, I will definitely choose the Earth faction...

Of course, the original novel ends with the rebels defeating the coalition government, and just when they were showing off their might, the helium flash occurred.

In addition, Liu himself also thinks that the spaceship faction is the correct answer, and he has no confidence in human nature.

It is correct to change it to digital life school. Digital life school essentially means giving up the future continuation of the human species.
The immigration faction represented by the Wandering Earth Project and the Ark Project is essentially trying to preserve the hope of human continuation through 2500 years of hard work.

These two are opposites.

Shen Liang then asked his grandfather: "Grandpa, what do you think?" "Not bad, quite shocking, but a little too long... and a little too tragic!"

"Is tragic bad?"

"It's Chinese New Year, we should watch more comedies..." After a pause, Grandpa said to Grandma, "Let's go eat something, and then go watch Zhang Yimou's "Man Jiang Hong"?"

Grandma asked, "Is the eldest grandson going?"

"...You two go ahead, I'll go back first..."

"Um…"

……

After returning home, at 2pm, the real-time box office of The Wandering Earth 2.7 was 2.3 million, and that of Red River was million…

The gap is 4000 million. Although the gap is not very big, it is still a gap...

Next up are "Unknown", "Boonie Bears", "Swap Life", "Deep Sea" and "Chinese Ping Pong"...

It's not even in the same league!
As for reputation...

The ratings haven’t been released yet, but “Man Jiang Hong” has received a lot of positive reviews…

'Thirty years of fame and success are nothing but dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of journey are nothing but clouds and moon.' Isn't this a true portrayal of Director Zhang's 35-year career as a director? He is still seeking changes in subject matter, techniques, and drama. Those who care will remember it. Otherwise, they will sneer at it. History will eventually leave some kind of judgment, whether good or bad, clear or not. Isn't disappearance also the best proof of existence? Qian Xi is very lucky to be able to play a good role like Sun Jun in her best years.'

'Sun Jun, the young general, is full of passion!'

I really doubt how much money was spent on marketing this crappy movie - what's the plot of "Man Jiang Hong" worth discussing? It's just a fantasy movie about taking off pants and farting.

What does it mean to take off your pants and fart while fantasizing?
It's just a long time of trouble, a bloody murder, deliberate suspense, and deliberate twists and turns. I ran to take a final look, and well, it was all for a "flashy" piece of shit.

What is this “flashy” bullshit?

Think about it, you can control the political situation, why do you still have to do so many fancy things? Just chop Qin Hui, overturn the court, kick the emperor, lead the group of Song cavalry who recite "Man Jiang Hong" indignantly to attack the Jin Kingdom and avenge the shame of Jingkang!

The result is no!

There were a large number of Song Dynasty cavalrymen in fine armor reciting poems in the square, but when faced with the Japanese fake Jin men, no one dared to say a word. Instead, a death row prisoner rushed up and killed the Japanese.

This type of movie is full of the self-touching and imagination of so-called literati.

The masses are always numb, ignorant and need to be awakened.

However, those people at the bottom of society, although not smart, although they are small people, and although they do not understand the great principles of patriotism, they are actually more sober than the mainstream public.

Therefore, the first lower-class people to be awakened must be marginal figures such as death row prisoners and prostitutes.

in other words.

We, the common people, are all ignorant and stupid, ignorant of the righteousness of our country, living in a muddle-headed way every day, afraid of death, fearing power, and fearing foreign enemies...

Death row inmates, prostitutes, thieves, gang bosses, etc., who we usually look down upon, all stood up and slapped us in the face, doing things that we dared not do.

Then we are moved, we feel guilty, we worship, we feel ashamed...

The Flowers of War follows this pattern, and so does The Eight Hundred…

Then, in this type of movie, there are always some "savior" characters.

Maybe it’s a foreign guy, the foreigner from “The Flowers of War”…

Or they are "mortals" who seem to be at the bottom of society but are actually born into extraordinary families or have a mission or destiny.

In short, there is a certain label that is different from that of the general public.

This kind of movie has a scale as small as the scenes in "Man Jiang Hong".

Crowded in a small courtyard, a crowd of people were making a fuss, just to do something that looked righteous but was actually useless.

Then another marketing account broke the news that Shen Liang rejected "Man Jiang Hong"...
