Ma Yusheng (who first appeared in Chapter 374) who was putting on shoes at the door called to the bedroom, and then his wife Qin Xin's voice came.
"It's coming, it's going to be fine soon."
"It's done."
Hearing his wife's reply, Ma Yusheng couldn't help but sigh, turned around and took off his shoes again, sat back on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch "News Lianbo".
The two of them had movie tickets at 7:45 pm. The cinema was not far away, and it only took a few minutes to drive. Taking into account the time spent on other things, 15 minutes was enough.
It's just seven o'clock now. According to his past experience, this "will be ready soon" should be enough for him to finish watching "News Lianbo".
"...The armed conflict in Syria continues to worsen, and the joint spokesperson calls on both sides to calm down..."
Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and foreign news reports had arrived. Ma Yusheng watched the news boredly, looking at the broken walls on the screen, and sighed a few words from time to time.
Since March, the country of Syria has continued to appear in international news, but most people do not understand it.
Even in later generations, most Chinese people's impressions of this country are war, poverty, refugees, decoration style, and the inseparability of the national team and the national football team in the world preliminaries...
The news on Syria ended, and Russia's entry into the WTO was being broadcast. Qin Xin finally came out of the bedroom.
"Do you still have time to watch TV? You're going to be late."
"It's a shame, believe it or not, I'm going to the toilet right now, so you can experience what it means to be healed right away."
Ma Yusheng issued a warning with a deadly weapon, and Qin Xin raised her hands in surrender: "I was wrong. I finally got out of the world of two people. I have to dress up to make you look embarrassed."
"Well, you really didn't make me wait in vain. This dress looks great on you."
"Yes, I specifically picked it online."
Ma Yusheng is well versed in the relationship between husband and wife, and Qin Xin relents. If he chases his wife and delays the matter, the guilt in his heart will immediately turn into grievance and anger, and then he will talk back.
As soon as the emotions got to the point, even if the two of them didn't have a big quarrel, today's rare date would be ruined.
So Ma Yusheng stopped when he saw good things, and instead praised his wife. As expected, Qin Xin spun around happily, holding his arm with him and leaving home downstairs with a happy and sweet look on her face.
Ma Yusheng's face was indifferent. The two fell in love in 2003 and got married in 2005. During the eight years they were together, he had already figured out Qin Xin thoroughly and treated her well.
After coming downstairs to pick up the car, Ma Yusheng drove to the cinema. Qin Xin called her son, who was visiting his grandma's house, and told him to watch less TV.
Speaking of which, the combination of the two is indeed rare. Ma Yusheng has a good temper and is calm in work, while Qin Xin has a gentler personality. Although she has some minor flaws, most of them are reasonable.
Both of them are teachers, own a house and a car, have a good income, and have no foreign debt.
The man's parents have some savings, the woman's parents have pensions, there is only one son in the family, and there are two teachers, so education is not a problem.
Perhaps because of this, even though they are over thirty and have been married for several years, they still have the leisure to abandon their children at their parents' home and form a group to go out into the world of two.
When I arrived at the Star Cinema that I often go to, the poster wall at the door had changed from "33 Days After Love" to "Eagle Eye".
The 6x4 meter "Eagle Eye" poster shows Cao Xuan and Widow Sister wearing black tights and doing fighting poses back to back.
He was slightly forward, and the widowed sister was behind. Cao Xuan drew his bow to the left, with a stern face. The widowed sister held a gun and aimed it with both hands on her right, with a serious expression. Surrounding the two of them were Dr. Eggman, Taskmaster, and Crossfire.
Small bust photos of Fury and Garfield Andrew.
"This poster is so cool."
Ma Yusheng took out his mobile phone to take pictures, and Qin Xin couldn't help but look under the poster and asked her husband to make one for herself.
“Return to the post on Moments.”
Although Cao Xuan was not the one who brought them together when they fell in love, the movie "When Men Are in Love" was a small help.
Although Ma Yusheng cried a lot when watching the movie, he really liked the movie later. Qin Xin, who had a good impression of Hu Jing, became a big fan of the East Palace.
Ma Yusheng cannot be said to be a fan of Cao Xuan or Hu Jing, but he has a lot of trust in Cao Xuan, and this trust has become stronger and stronger with the subsequent several good movies.
Nowadays, basically whenever Cao Xuan's new movie is released, unless it's a very uninteresting subject, people will come to the cinema to support it.
Although he keeps saying that he has no special fondness for Cao Xuan, he is actually a loyal movie fan.
This time "Eagle Eye" was released, and he also took the opportunity of the two of them to take his wife to watch the movie.
Prior to this, Ma Yusheng had never watched a Marvel movie, and rarely even watched foreign movies, except for the last time "Thor", in which Cao Xuan guest-starred.
Qin Xin, on the other hand, thinks Robert Downey Jr. is handsome, has watched "Iron Man" several times, is an English teacher, and likes to watch foreign movies to study, and has a certain understanding of Marvel and Hollywood stars.
When she got the ticket and entered the venue, she didn't forget to give her husband some knowledge.
"That red-haired woman is called Black Widow. She is an agent. She seems to have special powers. She is very powerful. She even went undercover with Iron Man before..."
Ma Yusheng didn't know the character setting and was confused when he heard it, but he didn't pay much attention to it and just watched the movie.
Even if it is a series of movies, the independence of the plot must be considered. Even if it is the first time for viewers to watch this series of movies, they will not be too affected.
When they arrived at the theater, the couple found their seats, looked at the advertising poster, and the movie officially started——
It was a circus with a style of the last century. There were noisy people in the front, a strong white man whose face could not be seen was performing a magic arrow trick, and two teenage children in the corner of the stage had fiery eyes.
One of the yellow Asian children, after the performance, ran to the door of a house to make medicine. Soon after, he came into the room with dark Chinese medicine and shouted in Chinese.
"Master, take medicine."
An old man with white beard and hair appeared in the camera, and many viewers in the theater let out small exclamations.
This old man is none other than Li Xuejian, Cao Xuan’s master. He can also be regarded as a little easter egg in the movie.
There is also a small easter egg in the movie Young Hawkeye and it is Wu Sanshi. However, this kid is not very famous yet. Some people may find him familiar, but he is not as famous as other well-known child actors.
In the movie, the old man drank medicine and his body couldn't hide his weakness. He lay on the bed and looked at his apprentice lovingly, while also reciting the words in Chinese.
"Recite again the formula I taught you."
"...the innate Qi, the source of creation, is the undivided Yuan Qi of Hongmeng, the Wuji of unopened chaos, and the Tai Chi that generates all things... All things are tangible from the Wuji, which is actually the root of the world... The way of life is the only way.
That’s all…”
After the apprentice finished reciting a paragraph, the old man nodded happily and then earnestly gave instructions.
"My child, remember this formula. When you gather Qi, you will be Kun...ahem, you will be the true successor of Kunlun."
"call……"
A figure suddenly woke up from the bed. Hawkeye, played by Cao Xuan, sat silently on the bed with a vague expression, some reminiscing and thoughtful.
"Qi!"
The opening plot of more than two minutes contains a lot of information, which is quite impactful, especially for domestic audiences.
The reason is naturally that it is full of Chinese elements.
The news of Cao Xuan's role as Hawkeye spread to China at that time, and many people were discussing and even looking forward to whether Cao Xuan's super power would have Chinese elements such as kung fu.
However, this expectation was quickly shattered. Someone did some popular science on Hawkeye. From the setting point of view, this superhero does not have Chinese elements.
Even though he has a master named Swordsman, this swordsman is actually white in the comics.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who believe that casting Cao Xuan to play this role is already very different from the original comic, and there will definitely be an adaptation.
However, this is only the speculation of a small number of people and is not a mainstream idea.
However, now that the finished film has been released, it has been proven that this speculation was correct. This "Eagle Eye" did indeed add Chinese elements because of Cao Xuan.
Even if they don’t know what innate Qi is, any Chinese person will immediately understand the routine of the old man with a white beard passing on the secret book, and the mention of “Kunlun” is also associated with mystery in the eyes of the Chinese people.
Most of the audience who originally came just for Cao Xuan cheered up. Many people had seen superhero movies, but this was their first time seeing a superhero with Chinese elements.
However, the subsequent plot did not show too many Chinese elements, but mainly followed the plot.
Another well-known acquaintance, Fan Xiaopang, appears, playing the role of Hill, conveying tasks to Cao Xuan, and at the same time, he also provides related movie settings from dialogue lines that he doesn’t know much about.
It focuses on introducing SHIELD, which is roughly a special force that handles various strange events. It has great authority and ability, and has countless elite agents under its command.
There are two aces among these agents, one is Russian-American female agent Natasha, nicknamed Black Widow, and the other is Chinese-American agent Clinton Tang, nicknamed Hawkeye.
Because Hawkeye joined S.H.I.E.L.D. later, his level is lower, only level seven.
In principle, he is under the command of Director Fury, Deputy Director Hill, Level 8 Agent Coulson and even his partner Black Widow.
But in fact, except for Black Widow, who is special, only Fury can barely command him, and everyone else can only negotiate. Hill, because he is Chinese, is relatively close to him, so he is the main contact person.
After introducing the setting plot, we directly took over "Thor". At that time, Hawkeye was recalled by S.H.I.E.L.D. because someone attacked a certain base of S.H.I.E.L.D. with the intention of snatching the Cosmic Cube.
Because from the subsequent analysis of the battlefield situation, this group of unknown enemies is not weak in combat effectiveness, and may even include super villains.
So SHIELD sent out its ace partners, Hawkeye and Black Widow, to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and solve the trouble.
In a few words, the three of them explained the plot setting and the main storyline of the movie, and the movie slowly began to unfold.
Since we don’t know who is behind the scenes, the first thing we need to do is to find out who did it.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has some clues. On the day of the robbery of the Cosmic Cube, a gang in New York seemed to have some suspicious behavior, which may be related to the attack.
Black Widow had already gone to investigate. Hawkeye came back from New Mexico and rushed over after clarifying the mission at Hill.
So, nearly 10 minutes into the movie, the heroine, the widowed sister, finally appeared for the first time.
Just like the female assistant in "Iron Man 2", the widow sister is also a makeup detective in "Hawkeye", dressing up like a little girl, wearing cool and sexy clothes, and sneaking into the gang stronghold.
The drunken gang leader came over to start a fight. Black Widow, who originally wanted to collect information in a low-key manner, couldn't help but shake her head, then grabbed the leader's hair and smashed it to the ground.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and many viewers couldn't help but touch their noses. It was so painful.
Other gang members realized something was wrong and rushed over one after another, and then staged a personal fighting show of Black Widow.
Let me put it bluntly, the fights in the original Marvel movie Black Widow are not particularly good to watch.
The widowed sister is not a professional action actor, and as she is a girl, her movements do not have a sense of power. Sometimes it seems very difficult to fight with some strong men.
So after Cao Xuan took over a certain amount of action guidance work, he made certain changes with Marvel's action guidance.
The Black Widow's original assassin-style fighting style will continue to be strengthened, giving up the display of some powerful movements, reducing hand-to-hand entanglements as much as possible, and using more skills, using various tools, supplemented by naked chokes, kicks and other movements.
The fighting style of the modified Black Widow is smarter and more ruthless than the original Marvel version, and has a certain lightness and beauty.
Strictly speaking, this is a bit contrary to the character design of Black Widow, because she is also a superhero herself, with strong strength and physical strength, so she is not afraid to go head-to-head with those strong men.
But the key is that a role is a role and an actor is an actor. Since it cannot be reflected, then use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
Black Widow's power and ability can be reflected in some other places, but the design of the fighting still focuses on the assassin style, giving priority to the brilliance and completion of the action scenes.
Therefore, under Cao Xuan's careful design, the widow's action scene was played very smoothly and beautifully.
Especially when everyone was knocked down at the end, Black Widow took off her wig and shook her red bangs. She looked so heroic and heroic. One word evaluation——
a exploded!
The male audience felt sassy when they watched it, and the female audience couldn't help but starry-eyed. This appearance definitely made the character of Black Widow leave a deep impression on people.
Back to the plot, Black Widow got the information in the safe and was preparing to leave with the unconscious leader.
Suddenly the warehouse door opened, and a burst of bright light came out. Black Widow didn't realize what she was doing. She rolled to her side and hid behind a wall pillar, and then she was sprayed with overwhelming fire.
A large number of gang members, under the command of another gang leader, focused their fire on the Black Widow.
The Black Widow fired back with a gun and knocked down a few of them, but the difference in numbers was too big and they were firmly suppressed by the firepower.
Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more dangerous, Black Widow is planning to risk her life to break out.
Suddenly, the leader who was yelling and commanding to surround Black Widow froze. When he looked down, his heart was penetrated by a sharp arrow.
Had he not turned around to alert the others, several more sharp arrows would have been shot at him, and all the gangsters next to him would have been hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
At this time, a figure in a black tight-fitting uniform finally appeared outside the warehouse door, it was Hawkeye played by Cao Xuan.
Hawkeye carried an arrow case on his back, held a bow in his left hand, and nocked an arrow in his right hand. He took at least three arrows at a time, one shot at a time. Every time he shot a hit, at least two people died. However, his eyes were cold from beginning to end, like a gunman.
The god of death who harvests life with a bow and arrow.
"handsome!"
An archer like the one in the movie who is fast and accurate, like a harvester, can make several people fall when he raises his hand, but his pace is always slow and unhurried, giving him an extremely elegant charm.
Every man dreams of becoming a hero, and Ma Yusheng is no exception.
But before that, he fantasized about being a swordsman, killing one person in ten steps, leaving no trace behind for thousands of miles, full of chicness and chivalry.
However, Cao Xuan's role as an eagle eye made him feel the charm of an archer for the first time.
Of course, the gangsters would not be fooled by him. After the initial sneak attack, they quickly discovered him and turned around to concentrate their firepower.
At this time, Hawkeye couldn't resist the bullets, so he ducked to avoid them, and then began to use the terrain to shoot at the gangsters.
But this time, in addition to normal bows and arrows, he also used black technology arrows.
Explosion + electric current + high temperature burning, coupled with his precise archery skills, almost one person is equivalent to a small army. Under his cover, Black Widow successfully broke out of the encirclement, seized a rifle, and cooperated with Hawkeye to harvest the gangsters.
Black Widow has good marksmanship, but she was under fire just now and was pinned in one place unable to get out. Plus she only had a pistol in her hand, so she could only be beaten passively.
But now it gives her enough deep space and favorable terrain, as well as a strong cover for her teammates. Equipped with improved firepower equipment, Black Widow's combat effectiveness has soared, and she has successfully regained her respect.
The two ace agents joined forces, and the gangsters were killed and fled in all directions. The black widow captured two people, knocked them unconscious, and prepared to take them back to ask for information.
On the way back, Hawkeye was a little dissatisfied with Black Widow's early action, thinking her approach was too reckless.
Of course, even though he said he was afraid of making mistakes, even a fool could tell that he was worried about Black Widow's safety.
"It was just an accident."
Black Widow understood what Hawkeye was thinking, but she was also a tsundere. She didn't expect a gang to be so tightly guarded. As soon as she took action here, she got a letter from there, and then a large number of people came to support.
When the two tsunderes were together, they couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong in many things. They bickered all the way, but when the gangsters were interrogated, they still cooperated tacitly.
And this kind of double tsundere character is particularly liked by many female viewers.
What you see is hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, falling in love and killing each other!
Qin Xin was very happy, Iceberg Archer x Cool Female Agent, she could think of hundreds of thousands of words in an instant.
Returning to the plot of the movie, this scene is mainly about fighting, which consolidates the shaping of the two characters and also gives the audience some visual stimulation.
The story then begins to return. Through interrogation, the two quickly find out the gang's lair and learn that the gang has a boss behind the scenes. The previous changes were also directed by the boss. However, only the boss knows who this boss is.
In this way, the task is simple. The two of them plan to sneak into the lair, bring out the boss for interrogation, and catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
But there was too much noise before, so this time they missed it. The gang boss hid, but Eagle Eye discovered an old friend.
Barney.
He is also one of the two little boys in the circus at the beginning of the movie, and he is considered the eldest child of Hawkeye.
When they were young, they both learned arts from two masters in the circus, [Swordsman] and [Swordsman]. However, because Hawkeye was Chinese and had the true heritage of the swordsman, Barney only learned a little bit.
The latter [Snapshot] treated everyone equally, but Hawkeye was the one with the best bow and arrow talent in his life. Although Barney had also learned some skills, he was completely different from Hawkeye.
Later, when the two of them grew up, Hawkeye followed [Shot] to travel, and Barney also left the circus. Later, by accident, he joined the gang and became a small boss.
The brothers haven't seen each other for more than ten years, but this has not affected their relationship.
According to Black Widow, this is the first time since she met Hawkeye that she saw such a smile on his face.
And Barney is also a loyal person, at least to Hawkeye. After learning of Hawkeye's purpose, he decided to go undercover and help him find out the boss's location.
With his help, Hawkeye and Black Widow finally caught the boss and learned the real mastermind - Dr. Eggman.
Just as they contacted SHIELD to arrest him, Dr. Eggman, who had already sensed that something was going to happen, took the lead and sent Crossfire and Taskmaster to silence them.
The heroes and villains set off a wave of climactic battles in the middle and later stages.
The cross-fire between the two villains is not weak and can offset Hawkeye's archery skills to the greatest extent. He imitates the master's fighting skills. Hawkeye and Black Widow are no match for him.
In the end, the two sides relied on tacit understanding and tacit combos to repel the villain, but Barney was killed by crossfire in order to save Hawkeye.
In most movies, character arcs are indispensable. This arc can be understood as a shining point or as diversity, but it is more likely to be described as growth, or the changes of the characters in the plot.
Take Marvel's personal movies as an example. Most of the protagonists have character arcs.
For example, in "Iron Man", Stark went from playboy to Iron Man, a warrior who saved countless lives.
Steve in "Captain America" goes from a skinny recruit to a superhero fighting against terrorism.
In "Thor", Thor is impulsive and reckless. After tempering, he is later recognized by Mjolnir and becomes a qualified god king.
These arcs include character, strength, or both.
Hawkeye is the last item. Although he is already very good when he comes out, the powerful enemies of Taskmaster and Crossfire are added to make him reach a trough, and then stimulate his Qi to complete his growth.
At the same time, the death of Barney also made his personality more prominent, and he paid more attention to the people around him and his comrades, which was also a growth change in itself.
There are troughs and growth, and the character of Hawkeye can also be relatively three-dimensional and can also arouse the audience's emotions.
For example, in the final battle later, when Hawkeye and Black Widow were two to three, especially when he tortured Crossfire to death with arrows and avenged Barney, many viewers felt happy.
What was equally enjoyable was the subsequent showdown with Taskmaster.
The exciting fight is on the one hand, the key point is that the master of imitation suppressed Hawkeye before and fought. Because he copied his fighting skills, almost every move Hawkeye makes will be countered by him, until Hawkeye understands [Qi].
I have inner strength, so I am stupid.
The same fighting skills, with the increase of Qi, became several times more powerful. Hawkeye broke through ten levels with one force and knocked down the Imitation Master.
The routine of suppressing first and then rising has been used countless times in movies and TV dramas, but as long as it is refined enough, it will still win the favor of the audience and readers.
Especially for Chinese audiences, [Qi], a superpower with Chinese elements, combined with the ancient boxing + ancient swordsmanship in the movie, gives everyone a special sense of satisfaction.
Even if there is suspicion of yy, how can it not make people feel happy when thinking about Chinese Superman beating up American villains...
