Superstar Couple

  Chapter One Hundred and Fortieth Released in North America

  Where is the reporter who has a good memory. When Zhang Le said this, he just smiled disdainfully and satirized in the newspaper, saying that he was overweight and not ashamed.

But when the talk show was broadcast, Kung Fu instantly became a hot topic. "Kung Fu Couples" was mentioned by countless media again. He remembered that he had interviewed the two of them, and had written about them. So Reading the previous interview records, this came to mind.

"Whether it is a director or an actor, I hope that the media will pay attention to their work, not other reasons. If a star can't produce decent works, he will soon be forgotten." Zhang Le smiled, and then said, "As for why I said that so confidently, you will find the answer in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

   "I heard that when this film was exhibited in Cannes, when it was shown on the TV wall in the Town Hall Square, the trailer just looked at passersby. I wonder if it is true?" A reporter suddenly began to ask.

"This has been reported by many French media, and I have seen it with my own eyes." Li Jie smiled and said, "If you go to the theater, you will watch it. This is a rare view. Enjoying the movie, it’s worth trying."

  "The three of you are all kung fu masters, even Miss Yang, who looks a little weak, is also a kung fu master. Are you Chinese people all kung fu masters?" a reporter asked.

  The three Zhang Le listened to each other and looked at each other, and they all could see that there was a kind of dumbfounding in their eyes. Most people think so. It's fine for a reporter to ask such a question, which shows what stage their understanding of China is still at.

"There are many Chinese people who know Kungfu, but not all Chinese people know Kungfu. As for whether Kungfu can be judged by sobering body shape. A woman who feels weak, a child who seems weak, and one who even walks staggeringly. Old people, maybe all kung fu masters." Yang Xiner smiled and said.

   "China Kungfu cultivates one's morality and self-cultivation, and it is not easy to fight fiercely. A fierce and ruthless person is not necessarily a kung fu master, but a gentle gentleman, but it may be." Zhang Le also said with a smile.

  Zhang Le and the three are old fried dough sticks. They are comfortable with reporters and will not be led by the nose. No matter what questions you ask, they will deliberately or unintentionally bring up the topic of the movie.

  The publicity before the release ended, Zhang Le and Yang Xiner hurriedly returned, and did not wait until the film was released before leaving. After the film is released, if the box office is ideal, there must be more intensive publicity, and the two will definitely go to the United States at that time.

   Zhang Le and the two hurriedly returned, mainly because Yang Xiner was rushing to record "Good Voice". And within two days of their return, on June 25th, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in North America.

Paramount is not very optimistic about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", not only did not put much effort in publicity, but also had reservations on the theater chain, but it was released in a thousand theaters, which is also a good start for Chinese movies. Up. If the box office is ideal, the theater line will naturally increase.

  Of course, if it is not ideal, it will definitely reduce the number of theaters.

  The only good news is that there are no blockbuster movies released during the same period. Some, but also weak successors, blockbuster films that are about to be drawn, naturally it is impossible to share the box office.

  Thomas is a senior film critic, but also a movie lover. He is never picky about movies. Action, comedy, sci-fi, plot, magic, ethics, horror, horror, etc. He talks about all types of things. However, he does not have a good impression of Huaxia's movies, especially the so-called Kung Fu movies.

  He has watched many Chinese kung fu movies, and for the fights in the movies, he has to admire the fact that it is really wonderful. But apart from fighting, he couldn't see anything else.

  In the movie, apart from vendetta, it is revenge. Except for chivalrous and righteous meddling, it is the lawless and lawless killing of innocents. A better one can highlight physical fitness and protect the home and the country.

  He can't see what's in the movie. He doesn't think that there are only these five thousand years of civilization in China.

  Thomas bought a movie ticket for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and came to the theater, where many people were already sitting. He glanced at it, and most of the people who came to watch the movie were young people, and from their discussions, he could also hear that these people were kung fu lovers.

Thomas watched this film, actually because after his daughter saw it, she returned home and still lingered. She always talked about the story of the film that made her difficult to understand for a while, but it was impressive. This prompted the story. His interest in watching.

  However, Thomas still has some expectations for this film. He believes that the film that can win the jury award in Cannes is not just a revenge for martial arts, but a violent plot full of dog blood.

  The endless stream of movie-watchers came in. Thomas was a little surprised. A Chinese-language movie was almost full. This attendance rate shouldn't have appeared yet.

  It seems that this film should have its own uniqueness. And in the conversations of those people, Thomas also heard something. These people actually came to see them only after they were introduced by friends.

  As soon as the film started, Thomas’ eyes lit up. Not attracted by the picture, but by the soundtrack. He could still hear the sound of the cello like weeping.

   "The soundtrack at the beginning has already set the tone of the film. Soothing and beautiful melody, melancholy and sad life!" Thomas thought.

  The dialogue between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian, he did not understand much. Although there are English letters, after all, there are huge differences between Chinese and Western cultures. For example, the dialogue of "Dao Dao", Thomas heard a little inexplicable.

  However, he still saw the inexplicable love between the two. Just don't know why, but both of them are hidden in their hearts.

  The plot of the story gradually unfolded, and he also saw that a long-famous hero handed over his sword and wanted to retreat from the arena, but because of that sword, a series of things were brought out to show the conflict of the plot one by one.

  And Yu Xiulian chased the sword at night, emphasizing both the real and the false in the scene, both the artistic conception and the real feeling, which really made people's eyes bright. The cries of exclamation in the theater can prove this point.

  The action scenes in the film are attractive.

  Encircle and suppress the blue-eyed fox, Yu Xiulian fights the jade dragon, Li Mubai bamboo forest fights the jade dragon, or emphasizes speed, or heavy fighting, or change, or artistic conception. Several important scenes have their own emphasis and each has its own excitement.

  But as a senior film critic, Thomas is not attracted to these like the average audience, he is attracted more by the oriental culture presented in the movie.

  The end of the film also confirmed his suspicion that he heard the soundtrack at the beginning.

  The characters in the film all end in tragedy, like Li Mubai’s master and apprentice, so is Yu Xiulian; so is the pampered and arrogant Jade Dragon, so is the free and proud Luo Xiaohu; so is the blue-eyed fox, so is the head catcher who hunts her for a long distance. This is the sorrow of being born, and this is the human tragedy that is constantly unfolding.

  What does the film director want to express? Thomas was lost in thought.
