Chapter 477 Premiere


Chapter 477 Premiere

9:58 am.

The lights in the screening room finally dimmed. At this moment, most people relaxed their minds and bodies, preparing to wait quietly for the movie to be released.

But there are a few who go in the opposite direction, switching from a relaxed attitude to a serious one.

This includes Zhen Zidan. Almost as soon as the lights went out, he straightened his back unconsciously and locked his eyes tightly on the screen.

Starting from "Hero", China has tried to produce some blockbusters in the past few years, the most common of which are costume action movies. However, those movies either do not use "action" as the main selling point, or they invite Hong Kong and Taiwan artists-Li Lienjie and Zhen Zidan is one of the beneficiaries.

As for Xu Kun's "Operation Kunpeng", it clearly plays the "action movie" brand, and the time and background are directly arranged to the present, and it also raises the momentum to an unprecedented level.

This is tantamount to cutting into the main artery of Hong Kong cinema.

Normally, Hong Kong circles would definitely choose to put a stumbling block on this movie. There is no way it would be released in a glorious way, let alone a large-scale release on Hong Kong Island.

After all, destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

However, after the "Yan Z Sect" incident, no one in Hong Kong dared to confront Xu Kun - at least no one dared to do so openly.

Therefore, people like Donnie Yen who are big fans of "kung fu movies" can only come to see what the mainland's first kung fu blockbuster is like with trepidation.

If it were just ordinary goods, then everyone would be happy, but if...

At this time, the credits had started to play on the screen, and Zhen Zidan immediately stopped his thoughts and concentrated on making sure not to miss any detail.

After the producer's credits, the movie begins with the male protagonist played by Xu Kun sweating profusely in a simple gym.

The camera first focused on Xu Kun's eight-pack abs, which were made of steel, and then rotated and zoomed in unhurriedly, properly revealing his body as strong as a bear and the exaggerated number of weighted discus.

"Brother Peng~"

At this time, someone shouted outside the door: "There is someone looking for you outside!"

Xu Kun slowly relaxed his arms, but the weighted discus still made a sonorous and dull sound on the equipment.

He pulled off the towel around his neck, wiped the sweat as he stood up and walked out. During this period, the camera kept his upper body fixed in the center, and the sweaty pecs were covered with wisps of white mist, making him even more majestic. Incomparably fierce.

The person who just spoke only showed half of his shoulders in the camera.

…………

Originally, Zhen Zidan was wondering that Xu Kun's base was a group of young girls, but he happened to be filming action movies. How should he take advantage of his base?

It wasn't until he heard the screams of the little girls in the back row that he suddenly realized, and couldn't help but feel speechless in his heart. This man was already the best actor in Venice, and he even specially prepared a scene of selling meat at the beginning of the film.

Zhen Zi was a little disdainful in his heart, but he had to admit that this method was quite effective. At least the screams of the little girls in the back row were getting louder and louder. From the sound, they knew that their trip was worth it. price.

…………

on screen.

Xu Kun asked as he walked: "Who are they this time? Are they here to protest against the shooting range disturbing the people again?"

"They seem to be soldiers. Could it be Brother Peng and your comrade here?"

"Nonsense, if those grandsons can still wait outside obediently?"

When Xu Kun said this, he suddenly frowned and stopped, and asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Following his inquiry, the camera quickly zoomed in and out, giving a close-up of the entire shooting range from an overhead perspective. At the same time, a line of words was quickly typed in the center of the screen: September 26, 2008, 10:02.

…………

As this shot surfaced, the premiere scene immediately erupted in exclamations, because this timeline was exactly the same as the real timeline, every minute and every second.

Donnie Yen also lamented that it was difficult to evaluate Xu Kun's directing skills for the time being, but his ability to concoct gimmicks was really strong. Based on this alone, he would not lose money in commercial films.

…………

on screen.

After the close-up, the camera dropped from a high altitude again and focused on the two officers walking towards Xu Kun.

"Wang Peng?"

The visitor asked Xu Kun very seriously, but before Wang Peng, played by Xu Kun, could answer, he took out his ID and said: "As ordered by your superiors, please come with us."

Xu Kun subconsciously closed his legs and raised his hands to salute, but as soon as he crossed his shoulders, he stopped again and frowned: "I was fired a year ago for shooting a prisoner..."

"It's urgent!"

Before he could finish his words, the officer turned sideways and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me on the way."

Seeing that Xu Kun did not move, the officer raised his eyebrows and said irritatingly: "The three-time champion of the military competition, how courageous is he?"

"I have to change my clothes, right?"

Xu Kun said, turned around and walked back.

The camera returned to his one-man show again, and the actor with only half of his shoulder exposed whispered nervously: "Brother Peng, isn't it because we took the guests to live-fire target shooting in Thailand that we violated the taboo above?" < br>


"Bullshit!"

Xu Kun said without looking back: "That is a legal business in Thailand. Can the sword of this dynasty be used to kill foreign officials?!"

As he spoke, he grabbed his coat from the iron wardrobe, sat on the hard bed nearby and started to change clothes.

At this time, the camera rotated around like a fan, taking in the room. Most of the room was filled with various training equipment, and some model guns were piled randomly on the table and wall.

In the innermost corner were a single bed and several iron cabinets—even the bedside tables were made of iron, with ashtrays, lighters, water cups, teapots, and a bedside table so clean that they looked out of place. photos.

The photo showed a group photo of more than a dozen soldiers. Xu Kun stood in the middle with his arms crossed, holding the rank of major with two bars and one star on his shoulders.

After the camera froze on the photo for two seconds, Xu Kun had already put on his clothes, strode out and closed the door behind him, while also blocking the camera lens with the door.

The next second, the door blocking the front was opened again. Xu Kun stepped up and sat on the bench with ease. As the camera turned, the scene had switched to a black Iveco explosion-proof personnel carrier.

Before Xu Kun could speak, the officer from before handed over a stack of information.

Xu Kun raised his eyebrows. Although he was a little reluctant, he still took the information and read it.

At the same time, the camera zoomed out slightly, and the words "Xu Kun's Works" appeared on the side wall of the explosion-proof personnel carrier.

Then the camera continued to zoom out, and the list of producers, screenwriters, starring actors and other creative staff appeared outside the car, on the roof of the car, on the overpass, and in the blue sky and white clouds.

Except for the producer, Xu Kun's name is not included in the first few items, and the others are all led by Xu Kun.

After the blue sky and white clouds passed, the camera returned to the car, and the changing scenery in the car window slowly stopped. When the final producers Wang Zhonglei and Chen Xuebin appeared, another line of time appeared: 11:18 on the 26th, which meant that Xu Kun had been in the car for more than an hour.

At this time Xu Kun suddenly raised his head and asked: "How to do it?"

Compared to before, his eyes seemed to be covered with blood.

The officer smiled and said nothing, but pushed open the rear door of the personnel carrier.

Xu Kun jumped down without hesitation. At this time, the camera zoomed out again. Six troop carriers were parked side by side in front of a barracks, but only five of them opened their doors one after another.

At this time, the four characters "Operation Kunpeng" suddenly appeared, and were immediately smashed into pieces by Xu Kun who was striding like a meteor.

Xu Kun was originally walking towards the barracks, but midway he suddenly turned to the only unopened troop carrier and opened the back door without saying a word.

The two officers and a man in civilian clothes inside all looked over in shock.

Xu Kun stared straight at the man in casual clothes. The man in casual clothes seemed to realize something. He lowered his head little by little and murmured like a quail: "My girlfriend is pregnant. We are discussing marriage." …”

Bang~

The car door was slammed shut, and the camera went dark.

When the door was opened again, Xu Kun had already led four other people into the conference room of the barracks.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

A general with gray hair but an upright posture glanced at the five people and said sonorously: "A veteran and retired teacher, when he should have spent his old age in peace, resolutely risked great risks to go deep into the Golden Triangle for the sake of the country and the nation. To lurk”

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Eleven years of licking blood, 900 important news reports! What these two numbers mean, I think those of you who have worked in the border defense force should understand!"< br>


Just as Xu Kun was about to speak, Zhao Wenzhuo stood at attention and saluted, asking: "Excuse me, why are we retired people?"

"Because it is an overseas operation and involves sensitive areas, the approval process will be more troublesome. What we lack most is time. According to the information passed back by the informant, Big D lord Sangken has already invited various forces in the Golden Triangle to prepare for three days. ——No, Mr. Fu will be executed in public at the dinner party two days later!”

"That is to say..."

Zhao Wenzhuo wanted to continue asking, but Xu Kun interrupted directly: "Let's go from Thailand, which is closer to Sangken's territory and more hidden."

"This..."

The old general hesitated and said: "Entering the Golden Triangle from Thailand is indeed closer to Sanken's territory, and it is also more concealed, but the weapons and ammunition..."

"I can get it from Thailand."

Xu Kun said without hesitation: "Soldiers are expensive and fast. Even if the equipment is inferior, I believe we can overcome it! We can read the relevant information on the road. Please appoint a few people who are familiar with the situation to go to Thailand with us. You can also tell us more about the situation on the way.”

The old general was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and said to Xu Kun: "On behalf of the people of the country and the army, I would like to express to you..."

"No need!"

Xu Kun interrupted him rudely and said coldly: "I just don't want the real hero to bleed and cry."

As he said that, he turned to look at the others: "Wang Peng, the former captain of the Clouded Leopard Special Forces Brigade, I provided the line equipment. I will take the lead this time. Do you have any objections?"

"Are you Wang Peng?!"

Baoqiang's voice shrilled with excitement: "I heard that you won the championship of three military region competitions in a row!"

Although Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi did not speak, they seemed to have heard Xu Kun's name for a long time.

"Hmph~"

Zhao Wenzhuo snorted and turned his head away from Xu Kun.

Baoqiang was a little puzzled when he saw this: "He is..."

Xu Kun grinned: "He is the second child of a thousand years."

Baoqiang suddenly understood and quickly introduced himself: "My name is Xu Sanduo. I used to be the captain scout of Old A!"

The plot of "Soldier Assault" is obviously used here.

Zhang Jin and Yang Junyi also quickly announced themselves. One is a sniper and the other is good at fire support.

When all three of them finished speaking and looked at Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhao Wenzhuo finally said: "Fighting, firearms, infiltration, and driving are my strengths. I am fluent in Thai, Burmese, and Vietnamese."

Then he looked at Xu Kun provocatively.

Xu Kun asked in confusion: "Why did you retire too?"

Zhao Wenzhuo's eyes flashed, and he was about to prevaricate, when the old general came over, stretched out his hand to Xu Kun and said: "If you can successfully complete the mission this time, I will make the decision to let you return to the army again." Troops.”

Xu Kun opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't bear it. His expression changed and he was unable to utter the word 'no', and finally silently held the old general's hand.

Seeing this, the old general put his other hand on the back of Xu Kun's hand and said solemnly: "On October 1st, I want to personally see Mr. Fu off to participate in the National Day military parade."

"This is what the elderly deserve!"

Xu Kun replied decisively, and the other four nodded silently, with fire burning in everyone's eyes.

"Don't worry, when you are performing your mission, the military region will try its best to provide help and will never let you..."

As the old general's voice gradually deepened, the camera gradually lifted up, and soon it was above the clouds, hovering next to a certain civilian airliner.

Through the oval window of the plane, you can see five people from the rescue team, whispering and discussing something around a middle-aged man.

…………

At this point in the movie, the early background of the entire drama is almost explained.

Zhen Zidan silently clicked in his mind. Xu Kun's editing in the opening paragraph was quite sharp and the connection was very good. In less than ten minutes, he explained the cause and effect, and also transitioned the scene from domestic to domestic. Arrived in Thailand.

Moreover, through this plot, several main characters - especially the male protagonist's personality traits and past experiences - are also highlighted.

Although the whole process is a bit rushed and has less foreshadowing than a feature film, the sense of urgency is well rendered and is enough for most viewers to ignore the flaws.

However, what made Zhen Zi look sideways the most was the "old general"'s line skills. The phrase "Eleven years of licking blood with the blade of a knife, 900 important news reports" made people's blood boil.

Of course, the performance of Xu Kun, the Venice Best Actor, was also outstanding. It only took a few minutes to set up a tough action character.

At the same time, it also left the suspense of why the actor was fired.

Coupled with the main plot of rescuing the old undercover hero, this beginning is undoubtedly a success for a commercial film.

But it's not enough for action movies. At least Donnie Yen is more concerned about his performance in fighting scenes.
