Lu Chen woke up amidst the distant sound of waves.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the ceiling decorated with gypsum boards. European classical patterns were cleverly put together, exquisite yet elegant.
The floor-to-ceiling windows connecting the bedroom to the balcony are open, and the sea breeze blows in through the doors and windows, bringing the smell and sound of the sea, as well as warm and bright sunshine.
It took Lu Chen several seconds to remember that he was on vacation with Filia Chen on a small island in the Maldives.
He couldn't help but reach out and find that the other side of the bed was empty.
"Are you awake?"
At this time, Filia Chen walked into the bedroom carrying a silver dinner plate and said with a smile: "Just in time to have breakfast and try my craftsmanship."
There are milk, fried eggs, toast, bacon, etc. on the plate, and the hot aroma is tempting.
Lu Chen couldn't help but move his fingers and immediately sat up.
Not in a hurry to wash up, he first ate the breakfast that Filia Chen had made by himself.
Satisfied.
Just after eating, Filia Chen thoughtfully gave her a clean hot towel. Lu Chen took it and wiped her mouth, then grabbed her and held her in his arms.
Filia Chen smiled sweetly and said: "Don't make trouble, you should go exercise..."
Lu Chen held her in his arms, breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I don't even want to move."
The past few days on Angel Island were undoubtedly the most pleasant time in his life. He left all his work behind, ignored the disturbances from the outside world, and spent some time with his beloved on this small island far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Quietly enjoying the time that belongs to two people.
In the morning, you can sleep until you wake up naturally, or have a morning passion, have some breakfast and exercise, sit on the terrace and read a few pages of books, or go fishing on the small pier, and the morning will be over.
Take a nap at noon, then get up and bask in the sun on the beach or swim. After dinner, take a walk on the island, or light a bonfire to sing and dance, sometimes cuddle up together and enjoy the bright Milky Way in the night sky...
It's a pity that the better the time, the more fleeting it seems, and they will have to go back in one day. Although the two of them are qualified to be willful, they are not that willful after all.
Looking forward to coming again next time.
On October 29, Lu Chen and Filia Chen left Angel Island and flew back to the capital from the Maldives.
At this time, "The Swordsman", the first part of "The Swordsman", was officially released in theaters across the country, with a total box office of 1.752 billion, becoming the box office champion of domestic films this year!
Although there is still a month left, the industry generally estimates that "The Swordsman" has already locked in the championship, because domestic films released in November and December are unlikely to break this record.
In addition, the peripheral sales of "The Swordsman" were 265 million, and the two together reached 2 billion. This does not include the sale of the copyright of "The Swordsman" at the Shanghai International Film Festival and external brand licensing.
The profits are so high that many people are jealous.
The profit of "The Swordsman" is completely calculable. The box office of 1.752 billion has a profit of about 800 million. After deducting the cost of 300 million, there is also a net profit of 500 million. The peripheral sales of 265 million can earn nearly 200 million. Copyright sales
From this movie, Chenfei Media can currently calculate a profit of nearly 1 billion, making more than three times the investment!
Because the profit was too high, with the release of "The Swordsman", there was once again a craze for martial arts films in the industry. Several film companies had previously frozen projects due to the disastrous failure of summer martial arts films. Now, It was put back on the production schedule.
The IP value of martial arts novels, especially popular martial arts novels, has skyrocketed. The ups and downs make people lament how quickly the direction of the trend changes.
Outside the circle, "The Swordsman" has brought about a new trend of martial arts craze!
It should be said that this martial arts trend had its inkling early in the morning when the novel "The Swordsman" was selling like hotcakes. It was later popularized by "The Young Man", but fell silent due to the disastrous box office failure of "The Young Man".
Now that the movie "The Swordsman" has achieved great success, many movie fans, especially young fans, have been aroused to love and yearn for martial arts kung fu.
The market's sense of smell is very keen. Many martial arts schools took the opportunity to advertise heavily, and added martial arts Sanda content to those that did not originally have it, in order to recruit students through the martial arts craze.
What's more, some so-called "masters of martial arts and martial arts masters" have appeared one after another.
As November has just entered, several very popular videos have begun to circulate on the domestic Internet. Among them, the video with the most clicks and forwards is that of a "Tai Chi Master".
In the video, this "master" who is in his 50s or 60s demonstrates martial arts. Under siege by more than a dozen strong students, he defeats them with every move. Whenever those apprentices touch his body, they are all kicked back. It bounced away and even fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.
Against the backdrop of martial arts craze, this video immediately sparked heated discussions among countless netizens.
"Here I go, is this the legendary internal strength?"
"Is there really such a magical martial arts? My grandfather also practices Tai Chi, but it's just for fitness."
"It's so fake! Can you please practice your acting skills more?"
"You can't tell lies. Maybe they have real abilities?"
"What a miracle..."
In addition to the video of this "master", the contents of several other videos are similar, including performances such as crushing rocks on the chest, drilling the head with an electric drill, splitting bricks with bare hands, being driven over by a car, etc., which makes people feel mysterious.
So some fans forwarded the video and posted @Luchen on the blog to inquire about the authenticity of the video.
Lu Chen is the creator of "Kung Fu" and has made martial arts films such as "The Swordsman". In the eyes of fans, he has a high authority in this aspect.
Lu Chen returned to Beijing at the end of last month. He spent a day in Beijing to participate in an endorsement event and then flew to Ningshan to continue filming the second two parts of "The Swordsman".
However, Lu Chen also noticed these videos that appeared on the Internet recently. In response to fans' inquiries, he answered straightforwardly: "Hard skills can be practiced, and internal skills are what novelists say. As for the performance of real power against others, that is fraud!"
It was a lively moment. Due to Lu Chen's influence, various media outlets reported on it with the title "Lu Chen thinks the Tai Chi Master is a liar", which quickly aroused great controversy on the Internet.
Several of the named "masters" were extremely angry and refuted Lu Chen through their respective blogs, believing that Lu Chen ignored the facts, disrespected his predecessors, and even wanted to teach Lu Chen a lesson!——
