Chapter 189 I predict it can reach 10 billion!

Regardless of whether Lin Feng is a person blessed by God, at least he is now the most popular idol in China.

He is also a young actor with good acting skills. As long as he doesn't do anything stupid and develops step by step, his future will be bright.

Otherwise, Huayi wanted to sign Lin Feng so much, and in order to show its importance to Lin Feng, the invitation was personally made by the two bosses of Huayi, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei.
"Lin Feng, we at Huayi are very optimistic about you. We know that you are an actor with great potential, and we also understand that you want to make a difference in the film industry.

As for your current agency Huanrui Century, let alone movies, even in the field of TV series, which it is best at, it only produces idol dramas and fairy tales, and has not produced any serious dramas that have gone viral.
It just so happens that Huayi is pretty good in the film industry. At least we dare to say we are second, and no one dares to say we are first.

You need a platform and resources, and we need actors like you who are popular and have good acting skills.
So we two brothers invite you to join Huayi, and the management contract and benefits are definitely the best management contract in the industry."

"That's right! Lin Feng, being the number one in Huanrui Century or being the number one in Huayi Film and Television are two completely different things.

As long as you agree, we at Huayi can do the work for Huanrui. As for the penalty for breach of contract, it’s just a small matter.”

The two bosses and two brothers, you and I said the same thing, almost confused Lin Feng, but Lin Feng was still very clear-headed, and he would not join Huayi no matter who he joined.
Because Huayi, which seems to be in great glory now, is actually in a critical condition. Their ace director Feng Xiaogang, the "box office king", has been on a downward slope since "1942".

Even later, at major film award ceremonies, I took photos from the middle of the first row to the edge of the third row.
Thank you for your compliments, both bosses. You are very polite. However, Huanrui has been very good to me, so it would be a bit too much for me to leave like this.
Moreover, this kind of signing is of great importance, so please allow me to think about it more, sorry for the inconvenience.”

Huayi didn't expect to poach Lin Feng so quickly, and now it's the premiere of "Old Cannon".

The story of the movie "Old Cannon" is very simple. It not only tells the story of a group of people or two generations, but it also expresses a kind of emotion, the spirit of old cannon who is loyal, responsible and polite.

Whether it is the first show at the Venice International Film Festival or the Toronto International Film Festival, facing distributors from all over the world,

Whether it is facing sincere audiences from all over the world during the tour, "Old Cannon" has proved its high quality with its strong reputation.

Liu Yang, a famous film critic, was originally invited by Huayi to be a film critic, and everything had been arranged in advance.
Liu Yang also thought that as long as the movie "Mr. Six" was not too bad, he would praise it a lot in his film review.

But after Liu Yang finished watching it, he felt that even without these things, he would still have the guts to praise "Old Cannon".

The whole movie, from beginning to end, is filled with a breath of air. This breath is the breath in the hearts of all the old BJs, the breath of all the chivalrous people, and the breath of all the old guns.
This tone was maintained in Guan Hu's bloodiness, metaphors, swear words, and shots until the last loud bang, even though his eyes were already filled with tears.

"The old guns never get old, and the world never dies."

After seeing Liu Yangyang to the end, I couldn’t help but sigh that "Mr. Six" is a good movie, and Guan Hu did not disappoint. This is what a Chinese movie is!

If today's Chinese movies generally make people laugh, then this movie will make you curse.

It’s not because he is a bad person, but because he is too good, and only by swearing like in the movies can he vent all his emotions.

This is a damn good movie.

After coming out of the movie, Liu Yang looked at the city in the dark and said to himself: How the hell has the world become like this?

This is exactly the issue that "Mr. Six" wants to express through its story and shots. It has been many years since China has had this kind of realistic film.

Before watching the movie, Liu Yang had always imagined that this was a story about an old gangster beating up a young gangster, but because the old gangster was old, that sense of tragedy might be the wonderful part of the movie.

This is indeed a Chinese film that can be called a masterpiece in recent years. What it describes is not a simple struggle, but an elegy for a group of old hands facing the new world.

When the rules collapse, when the world changes, when we are powerless to fight against this world, does the world of martial arts still exist?

The world of martial arts has always been there.

There may not be a martial arts world where there are people, but as long as there is an old-fashioned person who sticks to the old principles in this world, there will be a martial arts world.

What is Lao Paoer?

We can’t portray them as good guys and bad guys.

Because in this world, if you do bad things, you are not necessarily a bad person, and if you do good things, you are not necessarily a good person.

If a thief steals money, he has to return his ID card. This is called the rule. It is a good thing for the urban management to manage unlicensed operations, but if they beat people, it breaks the rule.

Good people and bad people do not depend on good things or bad things, but on the rules.

"Lao Paoer" are actually a group of rule-abiding people in the underworld.

What they do may not necessarily be good, but they are definitely rule-abiding people.

If you break something, we must pay for it; but if you hit me, I must hit you back. That's the rule.

Rules are not laws, and there is not much theory to talk about, but the real rules are simple truths.

When you meet an elder, you say a few words and light a cigarette, this is called the rules; when you do something wrong, you have to accept any punishment, this is called the rules.

The lampshade is old, he follows the rules, but he is a coward, he thinks of everything, the third master is a cannon, he gets angry at the slightest thing, regardless of right or wrong;
Xiaobo is the elder, he is gentle and humble, while Xiaoye is the tough one, his eyes are full of pride.

But Liu Ye is a veteran, he can hold his head, follow the rules, and when it's time to fire, he's not vague at all. The world he guards has only one word, and that's reason.

He cannot bear to see his brothers suffer, this is called righteousness; he will help others when he sees injustice, this is called chivalry; even though he is in trouble, he does not beg, this is called a gentleman.

They don't understand how the world has become like this. We also want to ask the same question: how has the world become like this?

It seemed as if in an instant, one day, they opened their eyes and the world changed.

The world has become strange.

I don't know when, the person fell to the ground and called it a hit-and-run;
I don't know when this group of young people no longer care about anything except money and pleasure;
I don’t know when, the old streets and alleys all became West City;
I don’t know when and how I became so old.

They live from the perspective of the old world, looking at this new world, only to find themselves locked in the old world.

Just like the ostrich, locked in that house, it’s not that they don’t want to adapt to this world, but no matter how hard they look, they feel that this world is wrong.

Just like what the Third Master said: "How could we have ever experienced this?"

In old terms, this is called the collapse of rituals and music. In new terms, this old world is doomed.

But the people of the old world still abide by their own rules. They are pathetic, facing this world where the rich are cruel and life is worthless, they are powerless.

Just like what the villains said, you are just ordinary people, there are some things you can't do.

Everywhere Sixth Master looked, he saw the powerful and wealthy in power, who were rich but unkind.

Liu Ye said that although we are ordinary people, there are some things that need to be done.

This is the challenge that the old guard is launching to the new world.

Just like the ostrich running wildly on the road, although it will eventually enter another cage, we cannot change the world, nor can we let this world become such a mess.

So, I have no choice but to let myself perish along with this world.

It is a touching farewell.

Old gun's love

To be honest, the details of this movie are really beautiful.

All the emotions are not revealed, they are all in the details.

Chinese films nowadays are too willing to express things directly, without leaving any blank space. And the blank space is also what I like most about Guan Hu.

For example, love for children.

What does it mean to love a child?
The phone rang, and he ran to answer it frantically, not caring about bumping into Qin. Yes, it was this detail of bumping into Qin that made us realize that the father was just being stubborn, but in fact he was very worried about her.

When the person you love is not around, hearing his name a few times is companionship.

The last gesture made me burst into tears. When we were young, it was our fathers who held our hands. Now that they are old, it is our turn.

The climax of the film is when the father and son are drinking. There is no long confession, only one sentence, but one sentence is enough.

The film revolves around Liu Ye and tells stories of different kinds of love, including friendship, family love and romantic love.

There are two kinds of love.

Aunt Xia loves Liu Ye. She loves Liu Ye with all she has. Xu Qing's performance is very good.

Liu Ye loved Aunt Xia, but because the deceased always lived in his heart, this love was direct and implicit, direct in the body, implicit in the expression. But in the end, he left his only property to this woman.

But the dead mother always lives in Liu Ye's heart.

The safe is behind the mirror, so he can see his mother every day. The important things in the house must be watched by his mother.

This is the true depth of love.

So this kind of detail can really tell a story, but one shot and one detail are enough.

As for friendship, needless to say, the smiles on the faces of those old guys who were finally released from prison can explain it all. This is true passion.

No matter how many years have passed, these old brothers are still willing to fight for you with their lives. This is called passion.

However, those old people should thank Sixth Master, "Thank you, Sixth Master, for letting us see your most heroic back and be able to say goodbye to you."

"The Old Cannon Never Dies!" Guan Hu perfectly combines business, sentiment and art, and tells a story about an old world facing the new world with countless details and exquisite pictures.

The final climax, the shot of an old man walking alone on the frozen lake, whether it is the actor's performance, the use of the camera, or the precise music, can fully mobilize the audience's emotions.

And the best part is that the whole film uses very lifelike shots and dialogues to bring you into the play. Even though you don't experience very intense conflicts, you can't leave the screen.

Of course, what impressed Liu Yang the most, besides Feng Xiaogang's acting skills, was Lin Feng's outstanding performance in the movie "Old Cannon".

The moments with Feng Xiaogang are the highlight of the film. He and his senior Feng Xiaogang, who is meticulous and generous in his performance,

While Lin Feng showed the strength that a movie actor should have, his super explosive power also gave the audience a big surprise.
Not only is the emotionally intense scene controlled within a reasonable range, but the harsh words that erupted during the argument with Lao Paoer are also quite infectious, fully mobilizing the audience's emotions.

As a newcomer to the big screen, "national male god" Lin Feng, it is not difficult to see his absolute dedication in this film, and his potential and sincerity to become a high-quality film actor.

Liu Yang believed that if Lin Feng could calm down and train for a few more years and act in a few good movies, it would only be a matter of time before he won the Best Actor award.

After the film, during the interview with the main creators, facing the cheers of 4000 audience members, "Sixth Master" Feng Xiaogang said:
"I am very honored to star in this film directed by Guan Hu. I am very grateful to my old company Huayi Brothers. From "Assembly" to "Aftershock" to "Old Cannon",
For so many years, Huayi Brothers has been doing one thing, which is to make high-quality Chinese films. At the same time, I also say that this is a film that "goes against the current".

We want to be people like this and do things like this, just like the Sixth Master I played, who is a little out of place, but we have our own persistence and artistic ideals. "

In response to Feng Xiaogang's superb performance, "Sixth Master's Wife" and Best Actress Xu Fan gave a heartwarming confession of love: "Feng Xiaogang, Sixth Master, Third Ring Thirteenth Master, I'll be waiting for you at home!"

This is a show of affection, but when Lin Feng thought about Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan walking on the red carpet, and when Xu Fan wanted to hold the waist of the young beauty, she just stepped forward and hugged Feng Xiaogang, he didn't know what to say.

In addition, director Guan Hu and his father Guan Zongxiang performed the "father-son inheritance" gesture on the spot, "This world belonged to the old man yesterday, and it belongs to the young man today.

Tomorrow belongs to all of us! A world where two generations work together and the inheritance is not interrupted will have a better tomorrow. "

At the scene, Lin Feng was also very polite and expressed his gratitude to Director Guan Hu and Drama Director Feng Xiaogang for the opportunity to participate in such a humanistic film.
He also thanked this movie for teaching him how to shape a character and the importance of a character to an actor.

What disappointed the fans was that the two top stars, Lin Feng and Wu Qian, had zero interaction at the scene.
Even Wu Qian wanted to interact with Lin Feng, but Lin Feng didn't give him the opportunity at all, because he didn't want to be involved with someone who was destined to collapse, and he didn't like Wu Qian as a person.

However, the climax of the premiere of "Old Cannon" was created by Lin Feng. It was a question asked by a reporter during a casual interview with Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, since you are so enthusiastic about the movie "Old Cannon", how many billions do you think this movie can make?"

And this reporter was pretty good. After asking this question, Lin Feng added, "Director Feng just predicted that it could reach 5 million. Do you think it can be achieved?"

As a result, Lin Feng's words caused an uproar at the premiere.

"This movie has feelings and connotations, it has movie kings, beauties, and handsome men. I think Director Feng is a little too conservative. I predict it will make over 10 billion!"
