Chapter eight hundred and forty seventh seeing is believing
Standing in front of the automatic ticket machine, it took Huo Feile two full minutes to figure out how to get the movie tickets he ordered online from the machine.
This is a quite new experience for this idol, because he used to not need to buy a ticket to go to the movies, or had an assistant to do it for him. Back when he was a teenager, there was no such thing as an automatic ticket machine!
Today Huo Feile came to watch a movie in this theater in Beijing. He ran out secretly without an assistant, and he didn't want others to discover what he was doing.
So he deliberately wore a mask and glasses, and chose a time in the afternoon when there were fewer people.
After getting the movie ticket, there were only a few minutes left before the movie started. Huo Feile took the ticket through the ticket gate and quickly entered the cinema.
What surprised him was that during this unpopular period, the occupancy rate of this movie theater with more than 200 seats was over 50%. Basically, all the good seats were occupied, and there were many girls.
Huo Feile's seat was No. 11, row 7. When he found his seat and sat down, the two girls next to him glanced at him curiously. They probably thought he looked a little strange wearing glasses and a mask.
Huo Feile really wanted to take off his disguise and see the other party's reaction, but thinking of the purpose of sneaking out today, he still resisted the urge.
After another two minutes, many more spectators came in one after another, pushing the attendance rate to about 65%.
Although he felt very unhappy, Huo Feile had to admit that the astonishing box office results of this movie should be real, otherwise there would definitely not be so many people supporting it.
And from the chatter of the surrounding audience, he could tell that these audience members did not come in with free tickets, but were real audiences and fans of Lu Chen!
That's right, Huo Feile was watching "The Swordsman" which has been in theaters for 9 days. As of yesterday, the total box office of this movie has exceeded 700 million. It is certain that it will reach 1 billion, and it will undoubtedly make a huge profit.
of!
As the leading actor in "Young Adventures," the first domestically produced new-school martial arts blockbuster released by Marriott Pictures in the summer, Huo Feile has been frequently disturbed by news related to "The Swordsman" in recent days.
The box office of "The Swordsman" exceeded 100 million in a single day!
"The Swordsman" beats Hollywood blockbusters!
"Swordsman" peripheral sales hit new highs!
"Swordsman"...
Although it had been a few months since the incident was said, Huo Feile was still very unhappy. The investment in "Young Jiang Hu" starring him exceeded that of "The Swordsman", and the promotion was vigorous, and it also had the gimmick of the first martial arts blockbuster. The content
It was adapted from a popular novel, so it was supposed to be a big hit, but in the end, it didn't even recover the cost.
And because of this movie, he himself was ridiculed by many people as a box office poison. He has not received any decent film contracts for several months, and his popularity has dropped a lot.
Now that "The Swordsman" is so popular, Huo Feile is really unconvinced, so he wants to see for himself whether this movie has any special magic power that can defeat the reputation of the martial arts blockbuster market.
Create miracles.
He also wanted to see if Lu Chen was really stronger than him!
The lights in the theater slowly dimmed, the title sequence appeared on the screen, and the movie officially began.
Huo Feile took off his glasses, leaned into the seat, and looked at the scene in front of him with critical eyes.
Like a harsh film critic.
Light and shadow intersect, and the story slowly unfolds. Huo Feile has read the entire novel "The Swordsman" and is no stranger to the plot in the book, but there is obviously a huge difference between the movie and the novel.
The content that can be shown in two hours is always limited, and compared to the million-word length of the original work, the importance of script adaptation is unquestionable.
"Youth" made a mistake in this regard, and was scolded by book fans for revising it. This was also one of the important reasons for its poor box office performance.
"Lu Chen is so handsome!"
The soft words from the neighbor made Huo Feile frown. However, the male protagonist who appeared on the screen was indeed very handsome, and his costumes and accessories were full of antique style, which would never make people feel like he was in a drama.
.
Compared with his slightly exaggerated appearance in "Youth", Huo Feile suddenly felt a bit hot and embarrassed on his face.
Fortunately, the subsequent plot attracted his attention and prevented him from falling into embarrassing thoughts.
Next, laughter, exclamations and even applause continued to appear as the film's story progressed, which also made the pickiness in Huo Feile's eyes turn into realization.
Although he has his own strong subjective opinions, Huo Feile has to admit that "The Swordsman" filmed by Lu Chen is more exciting than his own "Youth".
So much excitement!
Especially the fighting scenes, both the use of lenses and the design of the movements, give people a strong sense of beauty, making people excited and fascinated.
Huo Feile couldn't figure out how to shoot several of the shots. If they were post-production stunts, they were definitely at the top level of Hollywood, exquisite and original.
Recalling the fighting scenes in "The Swordsman", Huo Feile felt ashamed. There is no harm without comparison. No wonder some people say that "The Swordsman" is the real martial arts film!
In addition to the exciting and gripping fighting scenes, the storyline is also smooth and complete, and paired with either magnificent or picturesque backgrounds, it actually has the feel of an epic blockbuster.
When the final ending song, which is the theme song of "The Swordsman", "A Smile in the Sea" sounded, Huo Feile was still not satisfied!
So when he left the theater, the feeling in his heart was really difficult to describe in words.
"The Swordsman" is excellent, very exciting. It made him understand what a real martial arts blockbuster is like, and it is definitely not a poor imitation of a fantasy blockbuster with special effects.
In this movie, Lu Chen plays the leading role, action director, screenwriter, arranger and many other roles. You can imagine Huo Feile's disappointment.
Compared with Lu Chen, he lags behind in all aspects.
Before Huo Feile walked out of the cinema, the sound coming from the store on the side of the hall attracted his attention again.
The peripherals of "The Swordsman" are being sold there, including hand-made dolls, original soundtracks, T-shirts, toys, stationery, mobile phone cases... In front of the dazzling array of products, many customers gathered around to make purchases.
Huo Feile took another step where he stopped. He doesn't want to stay here for a moment, for fear that the jealousy in his heart will devour him! ——
