Chapter 375 A Bloody Murder Caused by a Steamed Bun

The overwhelming publicity for "The Promise" is really overwhelming. All other movies in the same period are giving way to "The Promise". All major theaters have also arranged prime screenings for "The Promise" and promised to film "The Promise" in the next week. It’s The Promise week!

You see, Chen Kaizi's influence is still there. No matter how good his film performance is in recent years, people in the industry still give him respect.

"The Promise" achieved a box office of 21.15 million on its first day of release, the highest first-day box office among all Chinese-language films released this year.

Yes, the box office of "The Promise" on the first day exceeded that of "The Embalmer". After all, "The Promise" is a commercial film, and there are so many attractive stars and so many eye-catching trailers, so it naturally attracted a large number of people. audience. "The Embalmer", a literary and artistic film, can achieve a box office of more than 180 million yuan in today's Chinese market, thanks to the support of Wu Yuchen and the Cannes Palme d'Or.

But it can only be said to be a Chinese-language movie, because if you include the imported "Pirate King 3", the results of "The Promise" are incomparable. The "Pirate King" series was created by Wu Yuchen, and this time there is a Chinese face named Liang Jiahui in the movie. Therefore, "Pirate King 3" is very popular in the summer season in mainland China this year.

Thinking of Wu Yuchen, Chen Kaizi shook his head. Nowadays, everyone basically singles out Wu Yuchen's movies because no one else can compare with them, especially his Hollywood blockbusters, which reap the world's box office. How can they be compared?

Kaizi is quite satisfied with the box office of 21.15 million on the first day this time. Even if it cannot compare with the original "Xiu Chun Knife" in the first weekend, it should be able to surpass "Hero"!

He, Chen Kaige, is still the same great director Chen, he cannot be compared to a mere little Mouzi!

This time "The Promise" was promoted by Chen Kaige as an "epic" masterpiece with magical colors, which naturally attracted many viewers to buy tickets. The 31-year-old Hu Ge was one of them. He walked into the cinema with great respect for Chen Kaige, the great director of "Farewell My Concubine".

Like many viewers, after 121 minutes, Hu Ge cried because of the movie directed by Chen Da. He felt very sad inside. First of all, he felt a little sorry for his 80 yuan. If he used it to buy steamed buns, it would last for a month. Wouldn't it be delicious?

What's even more sad is that the idol he once admired like the endless water of the Yellow River made a steamed bun that was more than 20 years old, which made him have a strong vomiting, oh no, it should be said that it was a desire to complain, no Can't vomit quickly!

So, with the heartache for the movie tickets and the strong desire to complain, Hu Ge locked himself up, spent 4 days writing a script, and spent another 5 days making a video. One person played multiple roles, covering all With the help of directors, screenwriters, dubbing, etc., a video of less than 20 minutes was produced, "A Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun."

After the production was completed, Hu Ge just posted the video on the forum he founded to satisfy his desire to show off after complaining and creating, and didn't think much more about it.

In fact, there are many viewers who feel the same way as Hu Ge. Many people felt their eyes dropped to the floor after entering the cinema. What is this thing filming? I can’t understand!

After coming out of the cinema, some people yelled and cursed, but the vast majority chose to remain silent. After all, this is director Chen Kaige, who won the Palme d'Or for "Farewell My Concubine" and was once China's number one director. What he makes can't be bad, right?

That's not Chen Kaige's problem, that's his own problem. I can only complain that I can't appreciate it. But saying they can't enjoy it doesn't mean they don't have any resentment. After all, the movie tickets for "The Promise" are quite expensive, and it was a waste of their high expectations.

But nowadays newspapers and TV are still the main means of publicity, but these two areas are controlled by Kaizi, and they all talk about "The Promise". But these days, everyone still respects authority. The reputation of this great director and the press releases from various media make most people dare not say anything bad about "The Promise" in reality, because people around them really know it. The "Do you know better than the experts?" comments pop up.

Therefore, they cannot complain in real life, so many people choose to vent their opinions about "The Promise" online. Under such circumstances, when "Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" was reposted by netizens and spontaneously uploaded to video websites such as Tudou, Youku, and Liujianfang, the Internet exploded!

This video adopts the method of "China Legal Report" to tell the case, with a serious tone, mixed with the video materials of the movie "The Promise" and the Magic City Circus City performance, and spoofs the painstaking work of director Chen Kaige.

The "Begonia Jingshe" that Kaizi spent millions of dollars to build was ridiculed as "a ring within a ring entertainment city", and Zhang Qingcheng, played by Zhang Baizhi, was ridiculed as a "ring within a ring within a ring entertainment city." Manager Wang's wife ” is a “clothing model” whose job is to constantly put on and take off clothes.

The character played by Chen Hong, Chen Manshen, is portrayed as a negotiator who deceives children. In particular, the line "Manshen brand gel water has good results" in the advertisement is used to make people complain about Chen Hong's indescribable appearance.

Zhang Kunlun, the "man like the wind", was criticized for running at a speed close to the speed of light, and he even moved Einstein out to make bricks. And the very beautiful scene where Zhang Dongjian, whom Kaizi is so proud of, flies Zhang Baizhi like a kite, is also full of flaws. How can a big living person fly like a kite? Hu Ge asked Chen Hong to answer: Because the earth is round!

At the same time, Hu Ge also cleverly inserted the then-hot topics of migrant workers demanding wages and violence into the prison, made fun of Chen Kaige's lines, and once again used ghost animal and RAP to spoof the trial process. The technique was very novel at this time, and the effect was amazing!

In the end, Hu Ge used "a bloody case caused by a steamed bun" to expose the case, and also ridiculed the plot: the steamed bun that was gnawed by Zhang Baizhi more than 20 years ago, 20 years later, not only did it not go bad, but it returned to Xie Tingfeng intact...

When this video came out, netizens laughed like crazy! Especially those netizens who had already entered the cinema and were dissatisfied with "The Promise" but were depressed because they had nowhere to vent, they were simply enjoying it. It turned out that it was not that my appreciation level was not good, but that this movie was a "sour steamed bun"!

"A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" came out of nowhere, and everyone not only found joy in this spoof video, but also found resonance in wanting to complain about "The Promise".

Actually, there were spoof videos before, but they were always limited to a small circle of people, with low discussion and topic. But this time, based on the negative reviews of "The Promise", "A Bloody Case Caused by a Bun" undoubtedly exploded and became the most popular video on the Chinese Internet!

At first, when Kaizi heard that there was a spoof video of "The Promise" on the Internet, he didn't want to care about it. What kind of thing is an Internet video? Is it worth his personal care?

But after a while, as "A Bloody Case Caused by a Bun" spread exponentially and spread all over the Internet, causing a carnival among Chinese netizens, Kaizi couldn't sit still. After all, Chen Hong told him that the number of viewers of this video far exceeded that of "The Promise", and now even some newspapers are reporting this matter.

When Kaizi sat in front of the computer and watched this "bloody bun" video, Kaizi's hair and beard were erected, his face was flushed, and he slammed the table and roared: "People can't be so shameless!"

On the plane, Wu Yuchen was resting well and refused the "intimate" service that the flight attendant wanted to provide him.

Although he had a private jet, the long journey inevitably consumed his energy. In addition, he was also working day and night in America, especially on Christmas Eve a few days ago, when several girls came to spend Christmas with him and transformed into little elks, allowing Santa Claus to enjoy a good family life. Wu Yuchen, who was about to return to China, naturally had to recuperate.

Things in America were not completely settled. The post-production of "Batman" was completed, and "Spider-Man 3" was also done, but there were still "Transformers" and "Fantastic Four". He was not worried about "Transformers" because Spielberg and Michael Bay were there, but "Fantastic Four" would start filming in the Maple Leaf Country after Christmas. After all, it was the first independent self-made movie of Marvel Studios, and he didn't know if there would be any problems.

Wu Yuchen shook his head. There had to be a beginning. During this period in America, he also went to the North American premiere of "Departures" and participated in several screenings, mainly to build momentum for this year's Oscars. Although he doesn't need to work so hard now with his background in Hollywood, he still has to show his desire to win the Oscar this year.

In fact, he returned to China mainly for the second round of the Olympic program in half a month. Although he has some confidence, he still needs to prepare with Zhang Yimou and the team to avoid any accidents. After the election, and after the Chinese New Year in China, he can bring the crew of "Departures" to participate in the Oscars.

At the airport, Wu Yuchen was surrounded by a large group of reporters as soon as he got off the plane. It goes without saying that someone inside the airport leaked his itinerary information.

"Director Wu, can "Departures" win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year?"

"Director Wu, will your "Batman" be released next summer?"

"Director Wu, when will your new movie "Sword Rain" start filming?"

Listening to these questions from reporters, Wu Yuchen answered casually while walking, but suddenly a reporter's question attracted his attention:

"Director Wu, what do you think of "The Promise" being ridiculed as "A Murder Case Caused by a Bun"? "

Hmm? Wu Yuchen realized that the bun had exploded?

"Oh my god, I'm really laughing to death! This Hu Ge is really good at spoofing! This video is even more interesting than the movie."

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan sat in Wu Yuchen's arms, watching "A Murder Case Caused by a Bun" with Wu Yuchen. This was not the first time she had watched it, but she was still laughing.

After revisiting this spoof video, Wu Yuchen just smiled faintly. On the one hand, this was not the first time he had watched it. On the other hand, he had been through the test of ghost videos in his previous life, so "Mantou" seemed a little immature in his eyes.

On the contrary, seeing Chen Kaizi's face flushed, his hair and beard standing up, and angrily saying to the reporter who asked the question, "People can't be so shameless!" in the famous scene video made Wu Yuchen feel more interesting.

Wu Yuchen hugged Gao Yuanyuan in his arms and said with a smile: "Watching the fun is not a big deal. This Hu Ge is about to get into trouble."

"Ah? Director Chen really wants to sue this Hu Ge? Isn't it just a spoof video?" Gao Yuanyuan said in surprise.

"The Promise is Director Chen's favorite. It was sued for just one comment in a Hong Kong newspaper before, not to mention that "Mantou" has caused such a big fuss this time." Wu Yuchen said with a smile.

"This... Although I think Director Chen is right to sue Hu Ge, I just feel that it's a bit embarrassing."

Looking at Chen Kaizi's angry look in the video, Gao Yuanyuan added: "He's a little petty."

Wu Yuchen also shook his head and sighed: "Our great director Chen has been putting himself too high since "Farewell My Concubine". He has been out of touch with the masses. He can't stand the criticism of the masses!"

Then Wu Yuchen said to Gao Yuanyuan: "Let's not talk about him, Yuanyuan, when will "Baby Project" be filmed?"

"Brother Cheng Long is still filming "Taken". "Baby Project" should start filming after the Lantern Festival."

Cheng Long's "Baby Project" was originally prepared this year, but because Wu Yuchen had a "Taken" situation, he temporarily put "Baby Project" on hold and went to film "Taken" with Wu Baige. After Liu Xixi was selected as the daughter a few months ago, "Taken" started filming not long after, and it has almost been finished now.

Wu Yuchen nodded when he heard this. When he goes to Hollywood again after the New Year, he will have to watch the post-production of "Taken". Although it was handed over to Wu Baige to shoot, and he was told about the tone and rhythm of the movie in advance, he couldn't trust him completely.

On the one hand, he also sent a producer to watch the filming of the movie to maintain the style he wanted. On the other hand, the final editing rights of the movie are still in the hands of Miracle Pictures. If he is not satisfied with the editing effect, he will have to personally go into battle and turn into a big scissors!

Wu Yuchen smiled and said to Gao Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, how are you preparing for the role of a nurse?"

Gao Yuanyuan's heroine in "Baby Plan" is a gentle and lovely nurse.

Gao Yuanyuan raised her chin and said confidently: "I have been going to the hospital to learn from the nurse sister for the past two months!"

Wu Yuchen's heart moved when he heard this, and he whispered in her ear: "Yuanyuan, do you have a nurse uniform?"

"Yes."

Wu Yuchen felt a little hot in his heart, and urged: "Hurry up, wear it out and let me see how your preparation works~"
