Chapter 120 The fighting scenes are perfect, but the audience wants to see romance
After mastering the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts, Yang Jian's strength increased greatly. He quickly destroyed Gou Chen and saved his mother and sister.

Then the Jade Emperor's incarnation appeared, hoping that Yang Jian could go to heaven to help him.

Yang Jian naturally refused, saying that he did not want to be bound by the Heavenly Court and wanted to return to the mountain gate to practice in seclusion, so he left with his mother and sister.

The last scene freezes on the Jade Emperor's incarnation's wise expression, and he slowly says, "Then I'll see you in the Conferred God Realm!"

This is where the film ends.

When the lights came on, the audience applauded.

The film has no artistic value and the plot also has some flaws. For example, the Jade Emperor's sister, who has always been seen as someone oppressed and persecuted by feudal etiquette, gives people the impression in the film that she can't stand loneliness and has no sense of the overall situation, making her less likable.

In comparison, the Tang Monk in "Lion Camel Ridge" has changed his previous cowardly image and sacrificed his life for justice at the last moment, which has a more positive effect on promoting the plot.

Of course, as a popcorn movie, "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" is still very surprising.

The various gorgeous and realistic special effects fighting scenes are definitely better than "Lion Camel Ridge".

What is a bit regrettable is the strength setting. The 17-year-old Yang Jian cannot be compared with the Monkey King during Journey to the West.

The Monkey King in "Lion Camel Ridge" defeated the whole audience. The opponent took out the super plug-in Buddha's calligraphy, but Monkey King had the full-level BUFF of the relics cultivated by Tang Monk for ten lifetimes, but he still defeated the combination of monsters in Lion Camel Ridge.

Yang Jian's victory was a little difficult, and some film critics even believed that his victory in the final moments was entirely due to the protagonist's halo.

Of course, that's okay.

In many classic action movies, in the early stages of the final battle, the protagonist gets beaten up in various ways but cannot be killed.

When he explodes, the villain will be killed in a few seconds. This is a common occurrence.

Another big surprise of the film is that there are a total of 89 stars participating in the film, which alone is worth a trip to the cinema for movie fans.

"Congratulations, Director Jiang, it's another classic. I believe there are many audiences who have a lot to say to you at this moment. Can you come up and chat with the audience?" said the beautiful host Yao Miao on stage.

Jiang Heng straightened his clothes and went on stage with a smile.

Yao Miao first praised the movie, and then said: "Director Jiang, I have always had a question, or it is the question of countless audiences here, why is there still no love?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they resonated with countless audiences.

Jiang Heng's films always have great visual effects and smooth storylines.

The setting of this film is relatively complicated, especially the operations behind Gou Chen. If you are not familiar with the original novel of Fengshen, Western religion, and elements such as "I have a destiny with the West", it will be somewhat confusing.

Therefore, the film released to regions influenced by Chinese culture, such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, is a special edition that has been re-edited. Some parts that are too difficult for Western audiences to understand have been cut out, and the plot is simpler and smoother. It is a film about protecting a sister and saving a mother.

Columbia, the company responsible for the distribution of the film, was very impressed with Jiang Heng's re-edited version.

Western audiences do not have the Chinese people's awareness of family, country, and saving the people. Saving daughters, mothers, and sisters is the greatest political correctness, and love also counts.

But unfortunately, there is almost no love element in Jiang Heng's films.

Not only are domestic audiences confused, but Americans are also puzzled. Couldn't there be more romance elements?

Yang Mi, who came with her classmates and was at the venue at the moment, whispered, "I thought the heroine was having a love scene with Director Jiang, but it turns out to be her sister!"

"Oh, so disappointed, I really want to see them fall in love!" Yang Mi, a classmate, also likes to ship couples. After saying that, she stretched her neck to look around, wanting to see how Jiang Heng would answer.

"Well, the movie Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother has two story backgrounds. The first is called Conferred Gods, and the second is called Primordial Desolation. The settings of these two are too grand, and plus they have to ensure the weight of the fighting scenes, there is no room for romance."

Such an answer is obviously not satisfactory, especially for many female viewers.

A girl wearing glasses and dressed in a slightly intellectual manner took the microphone handed over by the staff and asked, "Director Jiang Heng, I like your blockbusters very much. I can say that I have seen every one of them. They are the kind that I must watch no matter how busy I am. As your fan, I have a big regret, which is that I have not been able to see the touching love in your films.

You said the story background is too grand and the narrative must be guaranteed. The fighting scenes are heavy and there is no room for love. But as an office worker, I want to say that this is just like our lives. We have too much to bear and it is too heavy. Work takes up almost all of our time and we are overwhelmed. But because of this, we need and desire love more! "

After the girl finished speaking, there was silence for a moment, and then thunderous applause broke out.

All the filmmakers present had smiles on their faces, and Stephen Chow even pursed his lips.

As an excellent commercial film actor and director, Zhou Xingxing has deconstructed many elements, but has never deconstructed love.

It can even be said that the perfect love scenes are a key to the success of his films.

Jiang Heng actually doesn’t use such a good “tool”, maybe he really doesn’t understand it!

On the stage, Jiang Heng said into the microphone: "Thank you very much for your suggestion. In future works, I will consider adding more love scenes!"

Another girl asked, "Director Jiang, can you make a special effects movie with love as the theme? The kind where the hero is willing to make enemies with all the gods and Buddhas just to be with the heroine?"

Jiang Heng laughed awkwardly when he heard this, "I'll consider it, I'll consider it!"

It seems that the audience here today are all focused on the topic of "love", and almost all the questions they ask are related to love.

Of course, perhaps it is also related to the current era background.

By 2002, two episodes of "My Fair Princess" had been filmed, and Qiong Yao became well-known to the public.

Romance novels from Hong Kong and Taiwan are popular in mainland China and have influenced a generation.

At this moment, young people still have beautiful fantasies about love.

Instead of treating affection as bootlicking like twenty years later.

Jiang Heng was so deeply affected by that time that he felt he had almost lost the concept of love.

However, at this moment, "public opinion is overwhelming", Jiang Heng could only agree: "Okay, I will consider shooting a special effects blockbuster with love as the theme!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was filled with shouts of surprise.

It's no wonder that the audience was like this. After all, when the female lead was being auditioned, Jiang Heng directed and acted in the role himself, so many people subconsciously thought that Tang Yan was going to play a couple with Jiang Heng.

I was all ready to do it, but when you came you told me we were going to play brother and sister, and then we had all kinds of fighting.

It feels good, but also a little disappointing!
The whole event ended at around 8:30 in the evening.

The crew still booked a large banquet hall in a nearby star-rated hotel and invited guests to have a drink there.

On the way, Zhou Xingxing chose to sit in the same car with me and said, "Hey, if you want to shoot a love story and you have any questions, I can help you with some reference!"
