Chapter 89 Surprise(1/2)

As a freelance film critic, Song Zihao would naturally not miss the recently highly topical "The Hero Lin Tiannan". He booked his tickets online early and eagerly walked in on the day of the movie's premiere.

In the cinema.

Song Zihao is still looking forward to this new movie directed by Liu Xu, because before the movie was released, Director Liu Xu vowed that he would let everyone see something new. From his confident remarks and

Judging from his behavior, Song Zihao felt that the other party was not just hyping up, but that he really had something.

not to mention……

It doesn't matter, Luo Zihang will take action.

While he is a freelance film critic, Song Zihao is also a pure fun-loving person. Part of his expectation for "The Hero Lin Tiannan" is to see what trouble Luo Zihang can make this time.

However, what Song Zihao didn't know was that in the previous timeline, he was disappointed with both Liu Xu and Luo Zihang after watching "The Hero Lin Tiannan" with the same expectations.

It’s not that the movie is not good-looking, but it doesn’t have any surprises. It is still a very typical Liu action movie. Although there is a short scene where Lin Tiannan learns to shoot and pretends to be cool, Song Zihao feels that this scene does not make much sense.

It’s not like Lin Tiannan has given up on boxing and practiced gun training...

Moreover, the fun he expected did not appear. Although Luo Zihang's performance was very good, there was nothing eye-catching, so after returning, he quickly published a movie review on his blog, summarizing the entire film.

The movie gave it a tough thumbs up.

As for Luo Zihang, he let it go for a while. After all, as a senior musician, he still knew that the "surprises" of the "Luo Zihang phenomenon" were more off-site.

However, before he could wait for the "surprise", the timeline was refreshed as Luo Zihang completed the dungeon.

in addition……

However, this behavior is worthy of recognition!

And although this shootout is a bit abrupt, it is still very exciting in itself and does not affect the movie-watching experience very much. Therefore, seeing that there are enough surprises ahead, Song Zihao generously decided not to criticize Director Liu when writing a film review.

, and also wanted to open his eyes for him.

In the movie, Hu Feng did not use grappling techniques to fight the enemy. Instead, he smashed everything he could find at the black bear, and then greased the soles of his feet.

"I'm looking forward to it too, hahahaha!"

"A new martial arts style! This is a new martial arts style! Director Liu has indeed prepared a big move in the movie!"

For a long time, Chinese martial arts movies have either weakened or even eliminated the presence of firearms, or they have enhanced the abilities of the warriors, turning firearms into useless fire sticks. Faced with a situation like this where firearms can be used to fight, but only a little...

“I don’t know what kind of trouble Maomaohang’s movie will cause this time.”

However... applying this technique to those two new styles of martial arts seems a bit ungrateful, and I don't know how many of my colleagues will be as stubborn as that person.

"Director Liu's movies never disappoint! They just look great!"

However, Song Zihao would not be satisfied just by incorporating some elements from gun fight movies.

Ordinary viewers may not be able to notice this hidden little design at the first time, but it does not affect Song Zihao's improvement in the evaluation of the film because of such small details. After all, most popcorn movies have never paid attention to these. Director Liu has previously

The same goes for movies.

Song Zihao's eyes lit up slightly.

As a result, the black bear did not wait, but a seriously injured Lin Tiannan came.

After briefly showing Hu Feng's daily life, the movie quickly enters the plot of him accidentally offending a black bear and being trapped in his home.

But he still had the patience to watch it. After all, Director Liu Xu not only praised Haikou, but also made a very radical move. Although this would make the film's premiere box office numbers look good, if he hadn't

If you can do what you say, you will soon face backlash.

When they were children, they all tried to play with the abacus as a skateboard or roller skating. Now when they saw similar usage in the movie, they suddenly felt a strange feeling similar to "heroes see the same thing".

"That performance is so funny, but it doesn't make people laugh?! My laughter and the martial arts fight are neither serious nor conflicting!"

If Lin Tiannan went to find his future father-in-law to borrow troops to fight against Zhai Guangjun's Musketeers after he recovered from his injury, he once again felt that this movie was different from director Liu Xu's previous movies.

The plot of this section is similar to Luo Zihang's experience in the dungeon. Hu Feng first learned about the current situation from Zhou Qing, and got a promise that he would help find Liang Yun to mediate, and then ran back to set up traps just in case.

.

Just when Song Zihao was getting impatient, a surprise came.

The early content of the film is about Lin Tiannan's martial arts experience and his concern for the country and the people, with some emotional scenes and martial arts contests mixed in.

This new martial arts style alone has already made Song Zihao, who had been looking forward to surprises, very satisfied, and the director also used obscure camera language to give a reasonable reason for the emergence of this fighting style - Hu Feng had not learned it before

When I was in high school, I just picked up something and used it as a weapon. As a gangster, this kind of behavior is completely normal.

"Why does martial arts have to be serious? I think fighting like this is very interesting, and this style fits Hu Feng's position as a gangster."

"Yes, yes, those two fight scenes were funny and exciting. The surprise the director said was indeed a surprise."

As the final decisive battle begins, the movie first shows a scene of a large-scale gun battle. With Liu Xu's directorial ability, even though it was the first time to film such a large-scale gun battle, this gun battle was still above the standard.

Of course, after watching the movie, they discovered that there was no such thing as a surprise, so they would just continue to curse.

Song Zihao smiled slightly, the group of Lezi people was still very large.

Song Zihao felt that they may not all be fans of Luo Zihang, but most of them must be fun-loving people like him.

However, the subsequent discussion between Hu Feng and Lin Tiannan about firearms and warriors made him feel a little interesting.

Because although the movie is exciting, it is still a very typical "Liu action movie". Director Liu Xu did not seem to break out of his previous barriers, and Song Zihao did not see the "new stuff" he talked about.

"Hey, do you think it's possible that this was influenced by Mao Mao Hang? Director Liu Xu has maintained his style for almost twenty years, and now there is such a big change... It's very strange."

"I don't really like it. I always think that kind of martial arts is a bit not serious enough..."

But in this timeline, "Hero Lin Tiannan" probably won't disappoint him.

Similar conversations occur in the theater from time to time.

After being tricked into the gambling house by his friend Zhou Qing, Hu Feng gave the audience a wonderful and funny battle. He shuttled back and forth among the tables and chairs in the gambling house like a loach, and anything at hand could become his.

Weapons, Black Bear and his men were manipulated by Hu Feng like goose-headed geese.

His lame boxing skills and funny lines caused bursts of laughter in the screening hall.

This plot is very exciting in terms of rhythm and action design. The audience, including Song Zihao, was also fascinated by it, but he had some regrets in his heart...

"I don't know if it's influenced by Luo Zihang, but I'm looking forward to seeing what other good things come out of this movie in a while."

The only criticism Song Zihao has is probably that Director Liu is not bold enough and uses this new martial arts style too little. It would be interesting if there could be a movie shot with this fighting style from beginning to end, right?

Song Zihao laughed out loud at the scenes in the video, slapping his thighs excitedly and mumbling.

But Song Zihao shook his head with regret...

Song Zihao smiled disdainfully. The person who objected was obviously just trying to please the public and wanted to portray the image of "everyone is drunk but I am sober"... Such people are actually not uncommon among film critics.

Then, the camera switched to Luo Zihang, or Hu Feng's side. When Luo Zihang appeared, there were more low voices in the screening room and the mood was higher than when the protagonist appeared.

It's a pity that after these two interesting fights, the movie's camera switched to Lin Tiannan's side, and the style returned to the more serious Liu style. However, this style is also in line with Lin Tiannan's character, so the switch between the two styles

, it won’t give people too much sense of fragmentation.

At the beginning of the movie, the audience was shown the social scene during the period of warlord chaos. The official corruption of the military and the rampant gangs put all civilians in dire straits.

Except for film critics like Song Zihao, most viewers were successfully immersed in the story of the movie...

Seeing that Lin Tiannan, who could kill and run away even if he was shot, was knocked down by a simple trap set by Hu Feng in an abandoned inn, Song Zihao, like most of the audience, burst into small but happy laughter.

He could feel that Director Liu Xu wanted to enhance the presence of firearms and find a balance between martial arts and firearms. However, the arrangement of this shootout was too deliberate and was different from the previous practice of blurring out firearms.

It's the same, but this time Director Liu chose to blur away the martial arts masters and let them run aside and fight him, which made the gun strategy seem awkward...

The attendance rate is very good, and based on Director Liu's consistent reputation, it's quite normal.

As the audience found their seats and sat down, the commercials on the screen finished playing, and the noise in the screening room gradually subsided. Song Zihao adjusted his sitting posture and put the drink in his hand on the cup holder on the armrest.

, looking at the screen with a serious expression.

"Don't like how you laughed so loudly when I just watched it?"

Song Zihao, who was also looking forward to it, showed a gloating smile, then stood up and walked out of the screening room with the audience that had become sparse.

Following the flow of people into the screening hall, Song Zihao, who was already very familiar with the theater, did not need to carefully search for the seat number. He walked to the eighth seat in the eighth row that he usually bought most and sat down.

While the advertisement was still playing on the screen, he looked around...

Hu Feng made his way to the abandoned inn and settled down temporarily here.

But after laughing, Song Zihao muttered again: "Are you trying to position Hu Feng as a funny character? If that's all, it's not a surprise, right?"

Although in the dungeon Luo Zihang only used the "IKEA God of War" fighting method in his first fight with Liang Yun, the appearance of this fighting method in the movie was placed in the second fight between Hu Feng and Black Bear.

"Actually, I think Luo Zihang's two fights were more interesting, but I didn't get enough of them."

Then the camera turned again. Lin Tiannan said goodbye to his master and childhood sweetheart, and began to travel around Jingnan. During the travel, he encountered rough roads, heroes saving beauties and other old scenes. Needless to say, soon,

He happened to stumble upon Zhai Guangjun's conspiracy to resell national treasures, and after a fierce battle with the gendarmerie, he was shot and fled.

Although funny characters are not included in every movie, they are considered standard in most movies, so Director Liu's approach still cannot satisfy Song Zihao.

From the front to create the tension of Hu Feng quickly lurking when someone comes to the inn, to the funny scene in the back when Lin Tiannan is stunned by a jar and is knocked unconscious, this tight and loose plot setting, as well as the previously used

The two-line parallel storytelling method is actually not new, but it is very useful.
