Chapter 388 Embroidered Spring Knife
A month later, "Green Snake" was officially released!
What Shen Lang didn't expect was that this play brought him both joy and sorrow personally.
For the entire crew, it was a disaster.
Why do you say that?
First of all, the movie has just been released, and everyone is still very interested in the movie adapted from the traditional theme "The Legend of White Snake".
Especially the "Legend of White Snake" filmed on Wandao Island a few years ago, which has become a classic among Chinese TV dramas. Some of my friends even turned on the TV during the summer vacation in their childhood, and there was always this drama broadcast among so many TV stations!
Influenced by the TV series, people's impression of the Green Snake and the White Snake is that one is impulsive and dares to love and hate, and the other is beautiful and well-behaved.
But when everyone walked into the cinema and saw the green snake in the movie running into a brothel, swaying and posing in front of the dancing Bharat singers regardless of gender, everyone's worldview seemed to collapse in an instant.
Moreover, the makeup of the White Snake and the Green Snake is so enchanting and evil, which is completely different from the classical beauty of Taiwanese star Zhao Yazhi in "The Legend of the New White Snake".
"What the hell is this movie? It's a crappy movie!"
"Look at these two snake spirits, aren't they just bitches who seduce men?"
"Also, what kind of performance is Wang Yu playing as the White Snake? She speaks in an operatic accent, which sounds weird, neither Chinese nor Western!"
"And the Green Snake, I bet, he stabbed Xu Xian to death with his last blow! That cruelty... It ruined my childhood!"
……
Seeing the overwhelming criticism, Xu He became anxious. He looked for opportunities to go on TV shows to explain what he wanted to express in the movie.
However, the plot that subverts the audience's worldview is hard for them to accept.
As a result, the film was hastily taken down after only ten days of screening.
The original investment for this film was more than 20 million yuan, but from the premiere to the closing, the film only recovered more than 6 million yuan of the investment. Xu Ke and a group of Wandao investors lost a lot of money.
So what about Shen Lang?
Why is it a mixed bag?
Because everyone did not understand the "incomprehensible" plot of this drama, Shen Lang was also affected.
In an instant, people on the Internet gave various speculations as to why Shen Lang took on this kind of movie.
"When Shen Lang made his comeback and was still a minor star, it was Xu Ke's New Dragon Inn that helped him take his career to the next level. Now that New Dragon Inn has become a new-school martial arts classic, Shen Lang is returning the favor!"
"No, I think Shen Lang just wants to try to break through his own acting style. Have you noticed that Shen Lang rarely takes on similar roles? Even in Black Society, Zhou Chaoxian and Liang Kun are completely different!"
"Don't argue, Shen Lang, this old pervert, is purely for Wang Yu and Zhang Manman. Look at the way he is in the movie. It just so happens that, brothers, I have the uncut version of Green Snake, in which Shen Lang fights with two beautiful snakes until dawn! PM me if you need it!"
"Brother, can you lend me a camera to talk?"
"Brother, the website!"
"It's not charged, right? I'm used to it for free!"
"Fuck, don't believe this video. I clicked on the URL and found it was [Sexy dealer, dealing cards online]!"
"Damn it! The host doesn't have a penis!"
……
Compared with men, women have obviously different focuses after watching a movie.
"To be honest, I've never realized Shen Lang is so handsome before."
"I feel the same way, Jimei. I really can't believe that the abstinent monk in this movie is actually the pervert Wang Xiansheng from two years ago!"
"It's not just Wang Xiansheng. Think about it, really, regardless of whether the movie is good or not, Shen Lang's acting skills are really good at whatever he plays." "Especially when he is sitting on a stone, with a sunset in the distance and a rainbow hanging in the sky, it's so Zen and handsome! If there are monks like this in the world, I would also like to get married!"
"The one upstairs, are you getting married or becoming a monk?"
"This post is for females only. Please leave this male friend named [Fat Tiger is not fat but tiger]!"
……
When Shen Lang discovered these contents on the Internet, he couldn't help but sigh that sometimes the fate of movies may be the same.
In another time and space, when "Green Snake" was released, it was also coldly received. At that time, no one could understand what Xu Ke wanted to express through the movie.
In fact, in Shen Lang's opinion, the reason why the play "Green Snake" is named "Green Snake" has already explained a lot of problems.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, one practiced for a thousand years and the other practiced for five hundred years, and they came to the world just to become "human"!
But in the end, I found that the feelings of the human world are not as good as those of the monsters. How ridiculous.
Fahai believes that lust is a demonic obstacle and a calamity for mortals!
Xiaoqing believes that lust is about winning or losing, which is different from fighting and has nothing to do with feelings!
Xu Xian believed that lust was an addiction, that the world of pleasure intoxicated him and made him linger there without wanting to leave!
The White Snake believes that lust is true love, the most precious and common thing in the world.
So what does the movie want to tell us is right and wrong?
The seven emotions and six desires, love, hate, anger, and ignorance are a rare fate and also a disaster for mortals.
All people in the world are greedy for lust and are trapped by lust. In this world, as a human being, who can escape unscathed?
When Shen Lang first watched this film, what he saw was a horror film with a horde of demons dancing wildly.
When Shen Lang watched this film again after growing up, he saw the entanglement of lust.
But after traveling through time and starring in this film, Shen Lang discovered that the two words "Xiao Qing" together form the word "love", don't they?
Life is like this, life is like this, the original fate is destroyed!
This time, Shen Lang did not plan to make his understanding of the film public. After all, emotions are something that is hard to explain.
Everyone will have their own understanding after reading it.
This understanding will take time...
However, it is obvious that the various people's understanding of this film has begun to go astray, and Xu Ke's worries have come true.
Along with this film, someone soon released the single "Fa Hai You Don't Understand Love".
Fahai, if you don't understand love, Leifeng Pagoda will fall down...
Some people also posted ghost jokes online: How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert, the mighty dragon...
Shen Lang appears in various videos, with a fierce look on his face, and all kinds of “mighty dragon”!
"Ding, congratulations to Donkey Treasure for collecting the hearts of 300,000 girls! Successfully obtained a precious red attribute entry... A complete guide to all martial arts routines!"
"Ding, all kinds of martial arts routines, coupled with the title of martial arts master! Donkey treasure, why don't you find a martial arts movie to test the waters?"
Starting from "New Dragon Inn", directors who are looking for martial arts films can go all the way to Hebei.
But none of these scripts was suitable for Shen Lang.
Just when Shen Lang was about to go back and try his luck by drawing a fan box, his cell phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Peng Mo: "Brother Lang, do you have any movies in your hands recently?"
Shen Lang's mind moved: "What? What kind of movie is there?"
"Hi, I'm a senior from Diying who graduated with a master's degree. He's quite famous now. So, I want to get to know you through me!"
"It is said that there is a movie called "Embroidered Spring Knife" and they would like to invite you to play the leading role!"
"Embroidered Spring Knife"?
Add money bro?
