In the second half of the year, "Battle of the Peak" was released simultaneously at home and abroad.
If "Cat Demon Story" has brought Zhou Chenxi a box office, then "Battle of the Peak" is tantamount to a double harvest of public reputation and box office for Zhou Chenxi.
James Brown is a foreigner, and there is not much discussion about him in China. Penny Li's performance is even more blameless. She is a well-deserved actress. Only Zhou Chenxi, he just won the Star and Moon Award for Best Actor this year, so there will be more discussions about him.
To be honest, the influence of the Xingyue Award in China is not as good as that of the Golden Flower Award. Although the specifications of the Xingyue Award are higher, in the old-fashioned eyes of the industry, the Xingyue Award is one grade worse than the Golden Flower Award.
If you are not the Golden Flower Actor, it proves that you still have one step to go, unless you submit an answer sheet that satisfies everyone.
And this answer sheet happened to be handed in by Director Cabot in time for Zhou Chenxi.
This "Battle of the Peak" is completely different from that of Luo Xinghe in the book. After Li Yunzhou's role was cut by Director Cabot, Li Jiaozi became the core of the father-son pair.
Director Cabot said that from a dramatic point of view, Li Dumpling itself is more digging than Li Yunzhou.
Li Jiaozi had a tragic background, and he did not have such a strong sense of right and wrong. Unlike Li Yunzhou, he was a policeman himself, and he represented the party of pure justice.
Li Dumpling is the vast majority of people who survive in this world. He never thought about being a big man, and he never thought about getting ahead. He just wanted to live, and if he could eat a full meal, he would eat more. Everyone who reached out to him when he was in trouble.
This may be the beginning of the tragedy of Li Dumpling's life.
Li Gui is Li Jiaozi's first benefactor in a sense. Unlike Li Yunzhou, he is not an adoptive father. He only helps the homeless teenagers in the slums when he has spare time and money.
Later, when Li Jiaozi met Li Yunzhou, he directly said to him, "I like you because your surname is Li too."
When Li Jiaozi gradually began to investigate the cause of Li Gui's death, he discovered that Li Gui was not what he thought, but a transnational drug dealer.
It turns out that the money Li Gui rescued those teenagers was earned from drug trafficking. Those drug dealers did all kinds of evil things, harming countless people and breaking up countless families, but Li Gui used that money to feed a gang of slums that should have starved to death long ago. The stray "cats and dogs".
For this reason, Li Jiaozi and Li Yunzhou quarreled.
Li Yunzhou rebuked him: "Li Gui is not a good person, he is a drug dealer."
But Li Jiaozi stubbornly thought: "In my eyes, he is a good person."
"He killed people." Li Yunzhou emphasized.
Li Jiaozi said, "It has nothing to do with me who he killed, he saved me!"
In this world, life is like a mustard, who can be more noble than the other.
Only later did Li Jiaozi know that Li Gui's criminal gang had killed Li Yunzhou's fiancée who was about to get married.
No wonder Li Yunzhou hated Li Gui so much.
But it doesn't matter, Li Gui is dead. Li Jiaozi and Li Yunzhou have the same ultimate goal. Li Jiaozi wants to help Li Yunzhou find out the leader of the criminal gang and avenge Li Gui.
Li Jiaozi infiltrated the local criminal organization without authorization and fought with them. Li Yunzhou was worried about his safety. He found him several times and asked him not to learn bad things.
Li Jiaozi said indifferently, "I want to avenge Li Gui, don't you want to avenge your girlfriend?"
After that, something happened, and since then, Li Jiaozi and Li Yunzhou have embarked on the same path.
Unlike "Cat Demon Story", "Battle of the Peak" does not have the beautiful scenery of the Da Geng Dynasty, nor does it have exquisite special effects, but his narrative is absolutely strong, the protagonist and supporting lines switch back and forth, the plot is tense, and the fighting is exciting. There is no urine spot in the whole process, which brings the audience an excellent sensory experience.
Previously, "Cat Monsters" was released in the Spring Festival. It is considered a family-friendly movie. This time, "Battle of the Peak" chose a working day and quietly released it so as not to collide with other films. .
Many people do not know that "Battle of the Peak" has been released, and when countless taps are highly recommended by various channels, they are whetted and take time to go to the cinema to watch the movie.
Film critics commented on Zhou Chenxi, the last time "Cat Fairy Tales" was a new breakthrough by Director Luo, and this time "Battle of the Peak" is a new breakthrough for Zhou Chenxi.
He said that everyone said it was incredible how much time an actor spent to lose weight, but in the opinion of film critics, this is the most basic conduct of an actor.
What's so strange about losing weight, the actors have a professional team, and they have special guidance on how to get fat and how to lose weight. If they are not thin when they should be thin in front of the camera, and they are not fat when they should be fat, then it is their dereliction of duty.
Being able to perform Li Jiaozi alive is the biggest surprise that Zhou Chenxi brought to the audience.
In the past, many film critics were dismissive of Zhou Chenxi, and even had a stereotyped impression that he was a little fresh meat who lived with his face. When they died, they even shed a lot of tears.
Most film critics are very hard-hearted, they read countless films, and it is really not easy to shed tears while watching a film.
Zhou Chenxi just finished filming a TV series recently, and when she was free, she made an appointment with Lu Ji to go to the movies together.
This time was different from the last time. The movie was released not long ago, and the theater was full. They still chose the last row. Zhou Chenxi was fully armed, and Lu Ji didn't dare to be too high-profile. He didn't enter until the movie was about to start. After entering, I sat quietly in the corner.
The commercials had already started to appear on the screen, and Zhou Chenxi suddenly got a little greedy and hinted to Lu Ji: "Lu Ji, do you want to eat popcorn?"
"Don't eat." As a domineering president, how could Lu Ji be interested in snacks.
Zhou Chenxi was not discouraged, and asked him again, "Then do you want Huo Kuoluo?"
Lu Ji: "..." He seemed to understand.
Lu Ji stood up immediately, went outside and came back with a big bucket of popcorn and two glasses of Coke.
Zhou Chenxi let out a "goose goose goose" laughter, motioned to Lu Ji to sit down, and watched a movie with Coke and popcorn contentedly.
A movie with popcorn is twice as happy, and with Coke it's triple, but the content of the movie makes Zhou Chenxi less happy.
Probably because I gained some weight and lost some weight during the filming, which is a little bit different from Zhou Chenxi now. Zhou Chenxi forgot that the person on the screen was me, and looked at it seriously with Lu Ji.
The beginning is all about the protagonist. Li Jiaozi appeared in about ten minutes of the film. He was so thin that only bones were left. His makeup made Zhou Chenxi look very small, and his delicate face was covered with mud and ashes. A boy who can't get enough to eat.
Zhou Chenxi ate a piece of popcorn and heard a girl next to him whispering, "It's Zhou Chenxi!"
The boyfriend next to her said, "I just recognized him now. Isn't he your husband?"
Zhou Chenxi bumped into Luji's arm, signaling him to listen.
Lu Ji glanced at him helplessly.
"No, I'm a mom fan," the girl said distressedly, "Xixi is so miserable, I almost didn't recognize him."
Zhou Chenxi on the screen is really unrecognizable. He fought with a group of teenagers. In order to grab the food that a restaurant threw out of the customer, they fought so hard that Li Jiaozi did not like to gang up with people Pie, he was especially miserable to be excluded, but because of this, he was very good at fighting since he was a child.
After that, Li Yunzhou appeared.
The two were eating dumplings in a dumpling restaurant, and Li Yunzhou asked him, "What's your name?"
Li Dumpling said: "Dumpling."
Li Yunzhou thought he didn't have enough to eat, so he ordered another plate of dumplings for him, and then asked him, "What's your name?"
Li Dumpling said: "Dumpling."
Only then did Li Yunzhou know that he was cheated. He raised his chopsticks and was about to knock him. Li Jiaozi hurriedly raised his hand and blocked it slightly.
There was laughter in the cinema.
This is one of the few warmth.
As the story develops, the scene shifts to the capital, where Li Jiaozi joins a criminal organization in Hong Kong, while Li Yunzhou and the protagonist Jaspo quarrel in the capital over how to fight transnational criminal gangs. Everything is paving the way for the final battle of country A. .
Zhou Chenxi ate another rice pop, and asked Lu Ji in a low voice, "Do you know the ending of this movie?"
Lu Ji also replied in a very low voice: "I don't know." He hadn't seen it, so how could he know.
Both of them spoke quietly without disturbing anyone. Zhou Chenxi thought to himself, since he hasn't seen it, will Lu Ji cry later.
Lu Ji is a domineering president, he will definitely not cry.
Zhou Chenxi was determined.
But on second thought, those old-fashioned film critics were crying, wouldn't Lu Ji appear indifferent if he didn't cry
It doesn't matter, he just likes cool Lu cum.
Zhou Chenxi comforted herself and was not moved by the virtual characters. Even if she saw herself dead in the movie, she just said indifferently, "What's there to cry about".
The more Zhou Chenxi thought about it, the colder he felt, and he couldn't help feeding Lu Ji next to him a piece of popcorn.
Lu Ji, who was suddenly fed: "?"
Zhou Chenxi's hand was fragrant, with a creamy smell from popcorn, and Lu Ji bit his fingers together with the popcorn.
Zhou Chenxi: "!!"
He didn't dare to make a sound, so he retracted his hand and rubbed it, thinking to himself, Lu Ji is dead, how could he secretly bite him!
Then feed another one later.
Zhou Chenxi happily continued watching the movie.
Li Dumpling gets involved in the shootout between Jasper and the crime syndicate, and gets entangled with the criminals, and Jasper doesn't even know he's around.
Li Jiaozi kicked over the criminal who was going to kill him with a sweep of his legs, suppressed him with his elbows, and asked him, "Say! Where did you hide your things!"
The criminal stammered: "In, in the warehouse in Ji'an Seaport."
The girl in front sighed: "So handsome!"
Li Jiaozi kicked him, turned over a row of containers sideways, and ran towards the Ji'an Seaport that the other party said.
That's too late.
The criminal leaders want to destroy the evidence and flee from the seaport. Once they escape from country A, the world is so big that they will never be caught again.
Li Jiaozi wanted to avenge not only Li Gui, but also Li Yunzhou, who had died in the line of duty, and Li Yunzhou, the fiancée that Li Jiaozi had never met.
On the way, Li Jiaozi remembered that Li Yunzhou once said to him: "In this life, one should do things worthy of oneself and have a clear conscience."
Li Jiaozi thought to himself, Li Yunzhou, I've been sorry for no one in my life, and I'm sorry for you, right
In the seaport of country A, he met the criminal leader on a narrow road. During the chase, he had a fierce fight and was shot and killed by the leader's men.
He bought enough time for Jasper to hunt down the criminal leader. In the end, the leader failed to run. Jasper caught him, and the classic Hollywood-style finale was staged.
However, as soon as the picture turned, the plum dumplings floating on the sea were not found in the end.
The background sound played a conversation between Li Jiaozi and Li Yunzhou.
Li Yunzhou asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up?"
Li Dumpling said, "Sell dumplings."
Li Yunzhou patted him: "I'm serious."
Li Jiaozi was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Be a policeman."
The screen went black and the ending song played.
No easter eggs, it's over.
The girl in front who claimed to be a fan of Zhou Chenxi's mother burst into tears: "Xixi is so miserable, why is he so miserable, I thought he wasn't dead."
The boyfriend comforted her: "It's all acting, Xixi is still there, you can see him again at that snack shop when you go out, let's go."
The girl blamed: "You are so cold-blooded!"
Zhou Chenxi was fine because he had read the script, but most of the audience who got up and left were wiping tears.
He and Lu Ji can't leave now, for fear of being discovered, Zhou Chenxi sat in the seat, turned his head and glanced at Lu Ji quietly.
Lu Ji secretly wiped away his tears.
Zhou Chenxi was stunned.
Seeing that he was looking at himself, Lu Ji smiled embarrassedly and said, "The sense of substitution is too strong, I couldn't help thinking of Li Dumpling as you."
It turned out that he was not crying for Li Dumpling.
Zhou Chenxi didn't know what Lu Ji thought of, maybe he thought of the former Zhou Chenxi.
Zhou Chenxi's heart was very soft, and before everyone was finished, she couldn't help but pounced over and hugged Lu Ji, and said to him, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you to a long, long time."
"Yeah." Lu Ji turned his head and kissed him on the cheek.
After everyone left, no one was around, Zhou Chenxi quietly kissed Lu Ji.
I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a coughing sound next to it. It was Aunt Sweeper. She was holding a broom and reminded them in an angry voice: "Don't kiss, the movie is over!"
Too embarrassed, Zhou Chenxi blushed, quietly pulled up the mask and put it on.
Then he pretended that nothing happened, and walked out of the cinema with Lu Ji holding hands.
