Chapter 1005: The Banquet Screening (Part 1)

Before I knew it, all the celebrities and entertainers who came to support me today were already in their seats. After that, Men Jie and others sat in the front row. As all the ordinary audience members took their seats, Feng Xiaogang, Men Jie and others came on stage to say something.

After the conversation, the movie "The Banquet" also premiered.

After the lights on the scene were turned off and plunged into darkness, a flash of light flashed across the big screen, and the four characters Huayi Brothers flashed past. This also heralded the premiere of the movie "The Night Banquet" today.

!

In fact, originally, in terms of investment in the movie "The Banquet", in addition to Huayi Brothers Entertainment, there was also a group called Huanya. Even when the movie "The Banquet" was released, it was also signed by this group.

, but this time, perhaps because Huayi Brothers Entertainment Company was severely traumatized and in urgent need of an excellent film and television production to save it, the signature was finally changed to Huayi Brothers Entertainment Company.

But these are all innocuous little things, and few viewers will pay attention to such things. In the expectant eyes of all the audiences at the scene, the movie "The Night Banquet" officially started!

At the beginning, Feng Xiaogang briefly introduced the background of the entire movie in a narration way.

"Several large rebel armies established their own dynasties one after another. This period became the 'Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms' in Chinese history!"

"This was a very chaotic period, with years of wars between countries, bloody struggles between emperors and ministers, and even within each royal family, fathers, sons, and brothers were killing each other. Our story took place during this period..."

When he said, "Fathers, sons, and brothers kill each other," the scene suddenly changed to a bamboo forest, giving all the audience a strange feeling.

The story officially unfolds from this sentence. Does it mean that the theme of the story told in the movie "The Banquet" is the story of 'father, son, and brother killing each other'?!

With the appearance of this emerald green bamboo forest, the first character to appear in the whole movie is Wu Yanzu wearing a slightly rustic white mask.

In this bamboo forest, Wu Yanzu, wearing a white mask and a white robe, was constantly singing songs from that era, giving him the feeling of a hermit in the mountains.

But at the same time, along with Wu Yanzu's performance that was full of otherworldly feelings, there were also warriors wearing armor and terrifying demonic masks, riding fierce horses and heading towards where Wu Yanzu was.

The location came quickly.

The story unfolds from here!

"Your father has passed away and your uncle has succeeded to the throne. I will return as soon as you receive the letter!"

With the announcement of the imperial edict summoning the eunuchs, such a feeling emerged in the hearts of all the spectators at the scene.

When the movie just started, it explained such a fact. What kind of plot development will there be after that? Will Wu Yanzu's uncle kill his father and take away the throne? Will Wu Yanzu after this?

Will he embark on a road of revenge and start a fierce competition for the throne with his 'uncle'?

Questions appeared in the minds of all the viewers.

But just when everyone was looking forward to the development of the situation, the scene turned again. A woman with a graceful body wearing a long white gauze was walking down a long aisle. Surrounded by people wearing armor, heads and

The helmeted warrior, with countless guards watching, the woman pushed open the door at the end of the corridor.

Who is the person in the gate? Is he the current Holy Father?

Squeak!

After the wooden door was pushed open and there was a harsh scratching sound, a strong man wearing black and gold armor appeared in front of everyone.

A very familiar face, almost everyone recognizes this unusually young man. However, in the movie "The Night Banquet", through a series of makeup techniques, this young man gives the impression that he is quite older, as much as four years old.

She has the feeling of being more than ten years old, and the eyes full of vicissitudes of life are also extremely deep.

In reality, such a man is just pretending, but in a movie, he has a "very interesting" feeling.

This person is clearly Menjie!

The next plot was indeed a bit confusing for the audience.

At the very beginning, Zhang Ziyi, who played the role of 'Queen Wan', expressed full dissatisfaction with Men Jie, who played the role of the emperor, making everyone feel that Men Jie should be a villain, but Zhang Ziyi insisted on standing

The goddess of justice on the side of justice.

But later, after Menjie said that he "needs her", he held Menjie's arm again and expressed that the two finally chose to be together. Such a turn was really confusing.

Of course, not everyone was very confused. Sitting not far away from Menjie was the great director Zhang Yimou, who was not inferior to Feng Xiaogang in terms of skill. There was a strange look in his eyes and he nodded slightly.

, seems to understand something.

In his mouth, he spit out four words involuntarily.

Hamlet!

However, in fact, the movie "The Banquet" is indeed very similar to the famous novel "Hamlet" in some aspects.

A prince with a quiet personality or some "non-controversy" philosophy, he is most likely the brother who was killed by Menjie, the original emperor, and a sister-in-law. Generally speaking, although the relationship between the characters is somewhat different from "Hamlet",

But they are very similar!

It has to be said that Zhang Yimou is indeed the top director in China. He is really excellent in terms of "smell". Although it is only a small part of the plot, it can be judged that the inspiration for the movie "The Banquet" came from "Hamlet"!

Of course, it was adapted. Although it is somewhat similar to "Hamlet", after a series of adaptations, it also combined the characteristics of China and the characteristics of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and finally created the Chinese version of "Hamlet".

But what happened next fully proved how sharp Zhang Yimou's vision was.

Just after Menjie and Zhang Ziyi reached some kind of 'agreement', the scene turned again and returned to the bamboo forest. 'Prince' Wu Yanzu started a life-and-death struggle with the soldiers sent by Menjie, which also caused all the people to fight.

Everyone knows an identity setting.

Wu Yanzu is the positive character, while Menjie is the villain!

but……

Is this really the case?!

Later, with a series of developments in the plot of the movie "The Banquet", more information emerged in front of everyone, including the ambiguous relationship between Wu Yanzu and his stepmother Zhang Ziyi, including Menjie's domineering screen image,

Even Queen Wan'er has some personality classifications. Sometimes she is extremely passionate about power, sometimes she is in love with Wu Yanzu, and sometimes she is fierce and vicious towards women who are close to Wu Yanzu.

Of course, from a certain perspective, the characters in the entire movie have some "split personality", not only Zhang Ziyi, but Men Jie also feels this way.

Wu Yanzu, the two relatively pure and upright characters in the movie "The Night Banquet", has always looked "not arguing". Zhou Xun, who admires Wu Yanzu, puts his whole heart into him, without too much.

change.

But Men Jie was not like that. At the beginning, Men Jie was thought of as an extremely cold-blooded emperor who only loved the country. But after that, the relationship between Men Jie and Zhang Ziyi was completely different from the mainstream.

The love woven together by "beauty" and "power" is surprising, but it also fully expresses Menjie's mentality of "loving the country, and even more the beauty" at this time.

but……

Such a change is really strange!

Normally, when people hear words such as "I love beauty but not my country", they can't help but feel like a "foolish king".

But Menjie is not like that. With the help of Menjie's extremely powerful B-level temperament skill 'Temperament Rendering (Coercion)', even though Menjie expressed such an idea, he did not give anyone even a hint of it.

He didn't feel like a 'foolish king' at all, but he felt that Menjie was even more domineering and majestic!

Even the veteran actors felt that Menjie at this time was like "I love beauties the most, and even put most of my energy into beauties, but as long as I devote 1% of my energy to

The feeling that it is enough to care about the country is really unparalleled!

"When Menjie played a role like the emperor, at least in terms of temperament, even I was slightly inferior. As long as Menjie's acting skills have been honed for a few more years, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it in all aspects."

No worse than me!"

Seeing Men Jie's unparalleled domineering appearance, Zhou Runfa, who was sitting next to Zhang Yimou, had to give Men Jie a high level of recognition.

In order to find out the news about their powerful rival, after the movie "The Night Banquet" was released today, many cast and crew members from the movie "The City of Golden Armor" came. Zhang Yimou on the side was commenting on Feng Xiaogang's directorial skills, and as an actor, Zhou Runfa,

Naturally, he was commenting on Menjie’s acting skills.

"However, Menjie's acting skills are really getting better and better. How long has it been since his debut that he has such strength? I'm afraid it won't take a few years for him to become the most dazzling actor in China!"

Nodding slightly, Zhang Yimou on the side had no choice but to confirm Zhou Runfa's statement and gave Menjie full recognition. Si did not hesitate to praise him.

But at the same time, Zhang Yimou also secretly felt happy in his heart.

Although in the movie "The Night Banquet", director Feng Xiaogang fully utilized all his strengths, and although all the actors, including Men Jie, can be said to have performed at a super level, if they want to catch up with themselves, I am afraid they still have to
