Chapter 403 This person is my beloved relative, brother, and friend

Busy, Shen Lang is indeed very busy recently.

First, he was busy coordinating the publicity and promotion work of the two crews, and visiting various platforms across the country.

This is an actor's obligation, there's nothing much to say.

The other was to participate in the preparation work for the "God of Cookery" restaurant chain that he and Stephen Chow invested in.

Faced with online doubts, Shen Lang did not want to explain further.

Anyway, every time he appears in the circle, there is noise.

This is how the world is. When a person appears, there will always be doubters around him unless you suppress him with force.

Let them question it, time will tell, movies will tell, martial arts schools, restaurant chains, etc. will tell...

The screening schedules of "Knife of the Assassin" and "The God of Cookery" unexpectedly collided.

This situation was something no one had expected.

Originally, Lu Yang wanted to back off and delay the release due to Zhou Xingxing's fame.

But if we look at the screening plans of the major cinema chains this year, we will find that almost all prime time slots have new works by international and domestic directors.

It was Shen Lang's words that made him decide to give it a try. Shen Lang said to Lu Yang, "You have to have confidence. This movie and The God of Cookery are two different styles of movies. Even if it is affected by the scheduling, The God of Cookery will definitely not suppress Blade of the Assassin!"

The movie was officially released that night.

"The God of Cookery" naturally has its own traffic because of Shen Lang and Zhou Xingxing, and is of course more popular.

However, the performance of "The Blade of the Assassin" was considered satisfactory, in line with Lu Yang's expectations.

However, other movies released at the same time performed poorly.

All the sales were absorbed by these two movies, so naturally other movies had no chance to survive. Those that were released earlier were taken off the shelves early, and those that haven’t been released yet are now gone. As for those that were released at the same time as the two movies… there are no movies in the mainland, but there are some in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The directors and investors must have lost a lot of money.

On the first day, comments from the media and netizens were mainly focused on the film "The God of Cookery". After all, it was Shen Lang and Zhou Xingxing, one was the screenwriter and the other was the director and actor. The cameo actors in the film were all the real God of Cookery of Hong Kong Island, so it was bound to attract attention!

"The movie "The God of Cookery" made me see the change in Zhou Xingxing's acting style. In the past, he was funny just for the sake of being funny, but now after he is funny, he always leaves something behind that is worth people's deep thought!"

"Open a shop, ask for favors, visit shops, open internet celebrity shops, speculate in real estate, speculate in land, do networking, and directly make money after listing. Add ice to Coke, fry chicken as long as possible, and use oil for 365 days, not just days! Pay attention, if you learn these, you will be the God of Food in the next years, and you will be able to turn your life around!"

"In this movie, Shen Lang's script satirizes everything except love! I really like Shen Lang's screenwriting. I heard that he is making money recently. I am a little sad. Will such a good actor and screenwriter take the money and go abroad in the end?"

"I thought it was a food movie at first, halfway through I thought it was a love movie, and in the end I discovered it was a myth movie. I watched three movies with one ticket, so I want to ask you if it's worth it!"

"That scene of the pissing beef balls made me burst out laughing. It felt like I bit into the aorta of the beef balls. It was such a blast!"

"Uncle Da's eyes look a bit creepy!"

……

That night, almost all media reported on "The God of Cookery".

But before going to bed, everyone thought that this movie was good, and actors like Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat performed well, that was one aspect, but more importantly, the script that Shen Lang and Stephen Chow collaborated on was good.

At this point, many people came to their senses and thought, why not go to the cinema tomorrow and watch another movie by Shen Lang? After all, everyone still owed him a movie ticket.

The next day, "The God of Cookery" was still a hit at the box office due to its good reputation.

But the box office of "The Blade of the Assassin" gradually began to rise.

However, when audiences flocked to the theaters in large numbers to watch "The Blade of the Assassin", they were disappointed when they came out.

Many viewers said that the plot was a bit confusing. Compared with the narrative of "The God of Cookery", they might need to watch it several times before they can understand it.

After all, with the precedent of "Green Snake", no one dared to doubt Shen Lang's ability to choose films. However, although some viewers did not understand the main plot of this play.

But that doesn't stop the martial arts action in this play from being eye-catching.

When everyone saw the assassination scene of Wei Zhongxian in the rain designed by Shen Lang, they were all shocked.

"Fuck, did I design this? It feels super professional!"

"Professional, let me tell you, this is no longer a question of professionalism, this is the level of a master in the industry! I guess the combined knowledge of martial arts instructors and martial arts instructors in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland may not be as rich as what is in this movie!"

"Now that you mention it, I think Shen Lang must have had someone behind the scenes. How can he, an actor, understand these things?"

"I'm not sure about that, but didn't he open a martial arts school recently? We can go take a look!"

“I just don’t know if the fee is high?”

"Is it high? Change the question into a statement. It's a money-making scheme. Of course it's high!"

……

In the drama "Blade of the Assassin", in addition to the attractive martial arts moves, Ding Xiu, played by Shen Lang, is actually more popular than the protagonist.

What unexpectedly made him stand out this time were two lines of dialogue.

That’s right, that’s why Shen Lang was obsessed with playing the role of Ding Xiu instead of the villain Zhao Jingzhong!

One sentence is that when Zhao Jingzhong paid and instructed Ding Xiu to assassinate Jin Yichuan, Shen Lang hugged the girl from the clinic that Jin Yichuan had been thinking about and threw her to Jin Yichuan.

Ding Xiu had no intention of killing his fellow apprentice, but he wanted to play a trick on him, like a cat teasing a mouse.

So he deliberately said to his junior fellow apprentice Jin Yichuan: "You have good taste, this girl is very~~~smooth~~~~"

Run, what is Run.

Netizens were excited. After watching the movie, the entire internet was filled with animated pictures of Shen Lang saying "very smooth".

According to "experts and scholars", "henrun" is a dialect of Shandong Province, which means to describe vegetables as tender and juicy.

When used on a girl, the meaning is obvious. Just when Jin Yichuan wanted to find out whether Ding Xiu had violated the girl, Ding Xiu said this, which obviously meant to tease his junior brother, "This girl's skin is soft and smooth, and even... love is like the tide!"

One sentence angered his junior brother, and the two of them fought. In order to save his senior brother Ding Xiu, his junior brother Jin Yichuan pushed his senior brother away and was killed by the musketeer sent by Zhao Jingzhong.

Another scene that people talked about a lot was when Zhao Jingzhong found Ding Xiu and wanted to pay Ding Xiu to assassinate Jin Yichuan.

"You are good at martial arts, kill someone for me!"

Ding Xiu: "Two hundred taels!"

Zhao Jingzhong threw the silver to the cynical Ding Xiu: "This hundred taels is the deposit!"

"Who do you want to kill, father-in-law?"

"Jin Yichuan, a small flag officer of the Northern Pacification Division!"

Ding Xiu, played by Shen Lang, even sounded lazily and rogue in his surprised tone. He exclaimed, "Who??? Doesn't the father-in-law know that he is my junior fellow apprentice?"

"How do people like you still care about this?"

In the entire film, Shen Lang used a rare serious tone and said earnestly: "Father-in-law, you misunderstood. This person is my beloved relative, brother!"

But the next second he changed the subject: "You have to pay more!"
