Chapter 615 The Legend of the Gods
The lights in the screening room came back on.
Scrolling subtitles began to appear on the screen.
The audience found it very enjoyable.
"interesting."
"Concubine Liu Yifei is so beautiful."
"To be honest, her noble and arrogant look makes me want to lick her feet."
"You're a pervert, you."
"yes."
“The special effects are even better.”
"Yes, especially when the two gods fought on earth in the final stage, it was really devastating."
"Xu Nan never disappoints in such big events."
The audience discussed enthusiastically.
If a movie can make the audience enthusiastically discuss and recall it, it means that the movie has touched the audience.
For movies like this, the results are usually not too bad.
on the seat.
Tao Heng asked: "Old Liu, what do you think of this movie?"
Liu Dongdong looked at the scrolling subtitles on the screen and pondered for a while, then said directly: "A qualified commercial popcorn blockbuster."
He explained in detail: "This movie actually has no depth. It is just a simple and crude story about a prodigal son turning back and changing his mind."
"But the key is that the rhythm of this movie is handled very well, the setting is novel, and the special effects and scenes are also good."
"To put it bluntly, it is a qualified commercial popcorn blockbuster, no different from Hollywood's commercial special effects films."
Tao Heng said: "Although it is a commercial popcorn blockbuster, there are very few of this type made in China, and there are very few that can be so exciting."
Liu Dongdong sighed: "Yes."
Commercial popcorn movie.
It sounds very ordinary, but it is difficult to shoot well and make the audience feel happy and energetic.
Xu Nan has done it. The plot of this movie is simple and crude, the rhythm is well handled, and the special effects are even more shocking.
This kind of movie may not have much depth or content, but the audience just enjoys it.
It is often this kind of simple and crude movies that can achieve high enough box office.
Most viewers don't really have any requirements for watching movies, they just want to enjoy themselves, and "Dian Mu" achieves this.
Hollywood popcorn blockbusters rely on this trick to sweep the world.
Liu Dongdong had a hunch that the box office of this movie would not be too low.
A few minutes later, the end credits finished playing.
After confirming that there were no Easter eggs, Tao Heng and Liu Dongdong walked out of the screening room and then entered the screening room of the movie "Legend of the Gods".
Since the two of them decided to watch a movie, they couldn't just watch "Dian Mu", and of course they couldn't miss the other big movie "Legend of the Gods" in the same period.
Tao Heng took a look at the movie's attendance rate.
It is very high and can be said to be packed with seats.
This attendance rate did not exceed Tao Heng's expectations.
"Legend of the Gods" is a top-notch production with an extremely strong lineup. It is very normal to have such an attendance rate.
Soon, the movie started playing.
After the Xinghai Film and Television logo flashed in the title sequence, the main film began.
First, some background introduction.
There is a powerful kingdom on the earth called Shang. The Shang Kingdom has a powerful king named Zhou, commonly known as King Zhou.
King Zhou was extremely powerful. His troops swept across Kyushu and occupied the whole world.
But here's the thing.
The troops of your Shang country are made up of spaceships.
On the screen, a group of spaceships were overwhelmingly attacking a European-style castle. With the narration's explanation, people understood that the spaceships were the army of the Shang Kingdom, and the castle was for those who disobeyed King Zhou's rule.
Tao Heng frowned immediately.
How can I put it, the war scene at the beginning is quite cool. After all, it is a 500 million-dollar production, so the quality cannot be much worse.
This style of painting is really inconsistent.
There is nothing wrong with the plot of the spaceship attacking the castle. The problem is that this is the Shang Dynasty and it is an ancient mythological blockbuster.
What the hell is a spaceship?
Even if you have a flying heavenly soldier or general, Tao Heng can barely accept it. After all, it is a mythical blockbuster, and it is normal for the people in it to know how to use magic.
But Tao Heng really couldn't accept the spaceship that was full of technological style.
The previous promotion of "Legend of the Gods" was that the movie was a costume myth blockbuster, a reinterpretation of ancient myths.
So Tao Heng came with the expectation of watching a Chinese mythological film.
As a result, the style of painting at the beginning turned into a science fiction style.
It's like when you go to a restaurant and order a fish, but you're served a chicken. Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but the key point is that it's not the dish the audience wants.
It doesn't taste right.
Like Tao Heng, many viewers felt that the opening scene was very inconsistent and did not meet their expectations.
But this is only the first few minutes, and it is not enough to persuade the audience to give up. The audience still has some patience.
The scene changed to Chao Ge.
King Zhou lived in a magnificent palace.
But this palace is not in the ancient traditional style, but similar to the Western magic style, with spires, castles, and gold. In short, it has no connection with traditional Chinese culture.
The armors worn by the soldiers inside are also in Western magical style.
King Zhou had a princess named Daji, who transformed from a nine-tailed demon fox. One of her hobbies was cannibalism.
On the screen, a soldier had just walked into the palace and called out "King". Daji waved his jade hand lightly and caught the soldier like a metal tentacle made of gold, and was eaten by Daji.
It is worth mentioning that this metal tentacle is very similar to Doctor Octopus's tentacle in Spider-Man, but it has become golden, a bit like a snake.
There's nothing wrong with the plot and the scene, but it's still very inconsistent.
How did the famous nine-tailed demon fox Daji become like this?
The tail is still metal.
Just outrageous.
The actor who plays the nine-tailed fox is a first-line female star that the audience is very familiar with. She is beautiful, but the Western magical style of the movie makes the audience feel strange.
King Zhou is also outrageous, and he still has an accent, a Hong Kong accent.
In other movies, this kind of unauthentic Hong Kong-style Mandarin may not matter, but in this movie, when the audience feels very inconsistent at the beginning, this Hong Kong-style accent is a bit harsh.
King Zhou and Daji, an evil couple, lived a debauched life in Chaoge.
On the land of Kyushu, there is a race called the Spirit Clan. This race called the Spirit Clan is proficient in various spells, and their great elders also have the ability to predict.
So Daji sent people to capture all the spirit clan and captured Chao Ge, and at the same time dedicated the great elder to King Zhou.
King Zhou asked the spiritual clan elder to predict his outcome.
The great elder of the Spirit Clan used his own eyes to activate his prophecy ability, and finally predicted that King Zhou would burn himself to death in flames.
King Zhou couldn't believe it when he saw this result.
"Impossible, I will never end up like this."
But the great elder of the Spirit Clan told King Zhou that the predicted outcome was absolutely correct and absolutely no one could change it.
The next second, the screen turned and came to Xiqi.
Tao Heng couldn't help but sigh.
Because Xiqi’s appearance is also very strange.
