Chapter 169: Lust* Caution.

Compared with the ingenious publicity of [Assembly Account], the publicity offensive of [Assembly Account] is almost focused on the actors. Zhou Xing and Andy Lau have frequently produced excellent works in the past two years, and in terms of box office appeal, it definitely crushes the starring actors of [Assembly Account]. The publisher will naturally not waste such an advantage.

So, Zhou Xing began to get busy again, and began to work in November to run various announcements and media interviews and other publicity activities.

Of course, the mainland entertainment industry in November 2007 did not belong to the two blockbusters [Talent of the Name] and [Assembly Number]. On the contrary, the two "very interesting" movies have always dominated the headlines of major entertainment media.

One is the erotic* verbal action of the "famous director" Ang Lee. This film has been the focus of entertainment since it was released on November 1, especially the passionate scenes between Weizai and Tang Wei have caused a stir in public opinion.

In fact, when the first time I was submitted for review, the review required the deleted shot to be 30 minutes. As a result, the deleted shot won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, so I only deleted the shot to be 7 minutes later.

The other is [Apple], which was originally scheduled to be released in May but was postponed to November 22 because of the failed review. Due to the previous exposure of deleted shots, this drama is famous, and Fan Bingbing has also become "famous" because of this film.

These two dramas are actually inseparable from each other. [Apple] is just a small-cost movie with an investment of 4 million yuan, and [Sex*Cause] is indeed the big production directed by Ang Lee, and the themes are completely different.

But both films have a large number of passionate shots, so many movie forums are full of "seeking seeds" messages.

Of course, many viewers also believe that the whole film of [Sex*Jie] has 145 minutes and only ten minutes of passionate shots, but it is really unfair to be regarded as a passionate film. However, this sound was quickly criticized by many netizens as "fake Taoism". After all, if it is exposed, it is revealed.

What’s more interesting is that the starring roles of these two films, Andy Lau and David Tong were not under much pressure from public opinion, and many netizens even expressed envy, while Fan Bingbing and Tang Wei, the leading female lead, became the target of public criticism.

However, Fan Bingbing is from Huayi, and the public relations team behind her immediately began to operate, helping her establish the phenomenon of "devoting for art". Not only was her career not affected, but she took it to the next level.

However, as a newcomer, Tang Wei was brutally banned.

In the end, [Sex*Cause] The box office in the mainland was 138 million yuan, and Ang Lee once again won both fame and fortune. Weizai not only escaped unscathed, but also successfully won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for this drama. Tang Wei, who sacrificed the most, only won a "best new actor", and the price he paid was extremely heavy.

This is the entertainment industry, without fame and background. Once something happens, it is destined to be abandoned and become a victim.

On December 12, the premiere of [Call of the Declaration] was the first to kick off the tragic battle of the New Year.

At the premiere, Chen Kexin talked about the difficulty of filming this drama, gaining sympathy, and the effect was quite good. In Zhou Xing's opinion, Chen Kexin does not have the awesomeness of many "famous directors". The first thing he considers when making movies is whether the audience can accept it, which is why he rarely wins international awards.

The movie opens, with a few lines of white fonts, describing the time and place of the [Stories of Names]. Then, there is a chaotic battlefield fighting, with people coming back and forth, killing, and tyranny filling the entire battlefield, and then it ends abruptly.

The dark screen lit up again, and the tragic situation of corpses everywhere on the battlefield. Suddenly, a hand moved on the battlefield. Zhou Xing's pale and dirty face appeared in front of the camera, his eyes were congested and he was breathing heavily. There was a hint of confusion, sadness, and a hint of numbness in his eyes.

He stood up with difficulty and walked in the battlefield of dead bodies. Gradually, there were no more corpses around him, but it was desolate.

As he walked, he fell down and woke up again. A woman was cooking porridge for him. When the bowl of clear soup and watery porridge appeared in front of him, he pounced on it. As soon as he took a sip, he suddenly cried bitterly and didn't even raise his face.

"I'm the only one left...I'm pretending to be dead..."

This scene made many film critics start to write about it. As an actor, the difficulty of a one-man show is quite high. How can a person faces the camera convey the characters' emotions to the audience?

The previous paragraph was Zhou Xing's one-man show. In this scene, he did not have a single line, and even his body movements were mechanical, but it attracted the audience's attention to him.

Combining the picture, the audience will have questions: Who is he? How did he survive? What is he going to do?

The only line in which he hugged the woman and cried bitterly also answered one of the confusions. It turned out that he survived by pretending to be dead, and he was a deserter.

After waking up one night, the woman disappeared. Pang Qingyun, played by Zhou Xing, acted as a knife and armor. She had money but couldn't buy food. She could only squatted next to the broken house on the back street like everyone else.

Then Jiang Wuyang, played by Kim Sung-wo, appeared, and the two fought, and the final result was naturally that Pang Qingyun crushed Jiang Wuyang.

Jiang Wuyang was so proud of his talent and Pang Qingyun joined the gang, and then robbed military rations together. Pang Qingyun also attracted the attention of the leader Zhao Erhu because of his performance when robbing military rations.

As a result, before the snatch of food was over, it was stolen by the "Kuiziying". Without food, it would mean that there was no way out. At this time, Pang Qingyun proposed to join the army.

"Kui's camp is arrogant and has strong soldiers and horses. He doesn't like us at all. However, Chen Gongzheng from the Military Affairs Office lacks manpower. His green camp soldiers are often bullied by Kui's camp and have always wanted to strengthen their power. If we join him, it would be a timely help..."

Zhao Erhu, played by Andy Lau, said in a hatred: "Okay, we must be the biggest ones as a bandit."

"You used to be a soldier, neither black nor white, why do you believe you?"

"Abide by the letter of honor!"

In the cave, three people killed the passerby and swore to become sworn brothers.

As the picture turned, Pang Qingyun and the other two knelt in front of the yamen. There were three people sitting in front of the hall. Di Gong was on the left, Lord Jiang was sitting in the middle, and Chen Gong was sitting on the right.

In fact, there are also some considerations to arrange seats in this way. In ancient times, the left was the most respected. For example, among the six ministries, there were often many right ministers on duty, but there was always only one left minister, who was an absolute power faction. Di Gong on the left was also the strongest, and Kui Ying was his subordinate.

Lord Jiang in the middle is the military supervisor of the court, and he represents the imperial power, that is, the empress dowager.

On the right is Mr. Chen mentioned by Pang Qingyun, who is the weakest of the three.

It was the thunderstorm season that thundered and sat down. There were also three people. The cameras kept switching among the three people, and finally frozen on the three officials of the court.

Chen Gong said on the right: "You brought a battalion of soldiers and ambushed the Taiping Army in Hechuan. The entire army was wiped out. I haven't seen each other for two months. How dare you come back?"

It seems to be scolding, but it is actually giving Pang Qingyun a chance to justify him.

At this time, Zhao Erhu, played by Andy Lau, looked at him sideways, as if a little surprised that Pang Qingyun was actually the leader of the first battalion.

Pang Qingyun, played by Zhou Xing, always bowed his head and looked calm: "Mr. Chen, in the battle of Hechuan, Lord Jiang sent Kui's name camp to guard my left wing. He Kui retreated thirty miles in the face of the battle. My brothers from the first battalion died so much."

"The whole army was wiped out? You are the only one living?" As an old man in the officialdom, Di Gong's words were definitely heart-wrenching words.

"I'm not dead, I'm going to come back to see you, Lord Jiang!"

At this time, Lord Jiang, who was sitting in the middle, raised his eyelids: "Are you guys?"

"Eight hundred!"

Duke Di smiled contemptuously, and then the three adults laughed. However, the three adults were old actors, and their smiles all had deep meaning.

Di Gong naturally laughed at him, laughing at Pang Qingyun for overestimating his abilities, and eight hundred people wanted to shake his status?

Chen Gongxiao was regretful and had a hint of expectation, because he only had 1,500 people under his command. If these 800 people could be included in his command, his power would be increased.

Mr. Jiang in the middle laughed in an embarrassing smile. He originally thought that Pang Qingyun's appearance could help him balance Di Gong, but he had only 800 people, which was a huge difference in strength compared to Kui's camp.

In order to gain the support of Mr. Chen, Pang Qingyun issued an order to capture Shucheng in ten days.

Afterwards, through a fierce battle, 800 people fought torture the 5,000 Taiping Army. Lu Dashan finally took action and annihilated the 5,000 Taiping Army in one fell swoop.

After returning from victory, Mr. Chen was naturally overjoyed: "Haha, Lord Di, Pang Qingyun is also a deputy general, and we are also destined to be together."

It is obvious that Pang Qingyun is going to be included in his command.

Duke Di was quite unwilling to accept it: "You are betting on the right bet."

At this time, Lord Jiang in the middle said first: "Pang Qingyun, I will give you five more battalions of troops, how about it?"

This is very interesting. Lord Jiang represents the Empress Dowager. He stood up impatiently at this time, which actually means that the Empress Dowager wins over Pang Qingyun, which shows that the Qing court has no power to control local officials at this time.

Mr. Chen finally bet the right treasure, how could he hand over Pang Qingyun? He immediately said, "Then I will add icing on the cake. Lu Dashan will listen to your order in the future!"

"Thank you!" Pang Qingyun's face remained unchanged, but the two bandits Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang looked confused and didn't understand. After only winning one battle, why is the difference between treatment before and after such a big difference?

"Pang Qingyun, there is an old friend from Kuiying waiting for you, He Kui."

At this time, a man in golden armor walked out of the back hall: "See sir!"

"Since it's an old friendship, it's easy to deal with. In the future, you will attack the city and he will take the defense." Di Gong said coldly.

"He is here, how do we divide it?"

Duke Di ignored Zhao Erhu at all, but looked at the two adults standing: "Mr. Chen, Lord. Jiang, do you have no objection?"

The old fox Di Gong, who was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai from beginning to end, seemed to have taken the right treasure, and Lord Jiang invested five battalions of troops. He swallowed all the benefits without spending one soldier.
