On Tuesday, February 12, 2002, on a day full of "two", China ushered in the Spring Festival.
Different from previous years, in the early morning of the Spring Festival, almost all the people have gone to bed or are preparing to go to bed, but this year many young men and women walked out of their homes and entered the local theater to watch China's first Spring Festival movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
"Ru Chuan".
"I don't know if it's good or not? Don't make it into a bad movie."
There are still many Sword and Fairy fans who are worried about it, fearing that their classic work will be made into a bad movie.
"If only the trailer was half as good as this, this movie would be it."
"Well, if it's half as good, I'll definitely watch it again."
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't look good. Just seeing the beautiful girls and handsome guys is worth the price of admission."
"..."
…
In the movie city at the base of the town, Ma Xiaolong took his whole family into the luxurious box of the theater. There are twelve seats here, and snacks and drinks are also provided. Of course, the price of the box is also very high-end, and it is specially prepared for the rich.
Although Ma Xiaolong is the owner of a movie theater, this is his first time coming here to watch a movie. He looked around in the box for a while like everyone else, and then a waiter brought various drinks and snacks. When midnight was approaching, everyone took their seats.
Waiting for the movie to play.
At the same time, theaters across the country darkened and began to play movies.
As the curtain lights up, the movie begins.
It was also from this moment that Chinese movie fans and movie fans around the world saw a god-level movie for the first time in their lives.
At the beginning of the movie, Lin Yueru, played by Zhu Sha, performed a beautiful, exciting, intense and compact display of eighteen martial arts skills in the martial arts arena. The movie caught the attention of moviegoers right from the beginning and caused countless moviegoers to exclaim.
Corresponding to this is the exciting soundtrack, which makes countless professionals' expressions change and become solemn.
After the martial arts show ended, fans noticed Cinnabar's good looks, the way he wiped away sweat after exercise, and his refreshing looks that were infinitely close to 20. He instantly captured countless LSPs.
Even girls think this young lady is too sassy and can be fucked with.
Because it is a fairy tale drama, the theme of Ma Xiaolong's filming is "fairy". Whether he is the protagonist or a supporting role, even if he is a supporting role, his appearance is first-class, giving people a beautiful enjoyment, and at the same time, it also sets a good example for future fairy tale dramas.
An actor who is a benchmark and whose looks are not good enough should not act in fairy tale dramas. It will stain people's eyes and disgust the audience.
After seducing the audience with her martial arts skills and good looks, the next plot is that the maid of Lin Jiabao elopes with her servant, and is caught by Lin Yueru outside Suzhou City, tied to a tree and whipped.
"stop!"
Li Xiaoyao, played by Bruce Ma, and Zhao Ling'er, played by Chen Jun, made stunning appearances, once again triggering a wave of amazement.
What is a sincere work? The images of the three protagonists are infinitely restored, as well as the stunning display of swordsmanship and immortality, and not only the idol-like appearance, but also the acting skills of movie kings and movie queens. This tells all the audience,
This movie is a work of sincerity.
In previous movies and TV dramas about immortals and demons, martial arts were not mentioned for the time being. Just talking about magic or magic, it was basically just doing a few unexplained actions, and then relying on special effects to complete it.
Because no one has seen magic, no one can say anything, but in this movie, Bruce Ma has redefined magic. Even if you use magic, you still need to have dance or martial arts skills.
Because the enemy cannot let you release magic without interference, the magic itself must have the ability to avoid enemy attacks. For example, Zhao Ling'er used a very unique footwork when facing Lin Yueru's attack, avoiding the attack while
Recite the spell, form seals with your hands, gather the power of the immortal spirits, and release the five-spirit magic with gorgeous effects.
All movie fans around the world were stunned. Even professional film critics forgot to write reviews and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the plot of the movie, unable to extricate themselves.
The entire 120-minute movie has no delay at all. It contains gorgeous martial arts and magic, as well as the love between sons and daughters in the world, as well as the spirit of sacrifice and dedication for lovers and the common people.
When Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling'er died one after another, everyone shed tears of grief. And when Li Xiaoyao was on his way home with endless sadness, it was snowy sky, and under a paper umbrella, a beautiful woman was holding a baby in her arms.
Turn around with a smile.
As the classic Fairy Sword BGM played, everyone's hearts were deeply touched. For a moment, emotions of being moved, joyful, and relaxed were intertwined.
As one audience member couldn't help but stand up and applaud, it was spread from one to ten, and almost every theater in the world erupted in warm applause and cheers.
"Okay! The photo was so damn good!"
"This is the movie we want to see. It's great."
"Ma Xiaolong, awesome!"
"I haven't seen enough. I will watch it a second time tomorrow."
"I want to watch it three times!"
"Me five times!"
"Me ten times!"
"..."
…
In Beijing, Feng Pengtong led the cast of the Fairy Sword crew to appear on stage to express his thanks, and received wild applause and cheers.
Jingtian was extremely excited. Although it was not the first time for her to see the finished film, she was still moved to tears several times, and her admiration and admiration for Bruce Ma grew in her heart.
Brother Xiaolong, so awesome.
In the other three cities, after watching the movie, Zhusha's three little sisters still had not recovered from the movie, and none of them could hold back from sending text messages to Zhusha.
"Sister, I've finished watching the movie. It's so good. Please hug me."
"Sister, from now on, I will be your maid, and I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Sister, the movie is great. Congratulations on your successful debut."
Obviously, the first two text messages were sent by the two sidekick sisters, and the third text message was sent by the Golden Saint Cloth, which fits their personalities very well.
Two lickers, one wants to be a licker but is too embarrassed to say it.
Zhusha received their text messages, smiled slightly, and replied to them the same text message: "Happy New Year."
…
“The movie is so beautiful!”
“I’ve never seen such a good movie.”
"This movie is interesting, but it's a pity that it's not a military movie, otherwise it would be better."
"Dad, you're here again. What kind of military movie are you watching during the Chinese New Year!"
"Hmph! Military movies are good."
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."
"Ignore this old man. If you ask me, this movie is really good. It made me cry."
In a city in the Northeast, after watching the movie with his family, Li Xin felt proud as he watched the whole family enthusiastically discuss the plot and Ma Xiaolong and others: "Of course, this is a movie made by my master."
…
In the small town, Dai Yu had just finished watching a movie with his parents and was walking home.
"I didn't expect that Xiaolong's movies were so good-looking and the costumes in them were so good." The acting mother was filled with emotion and asked: "Xiaoyu, I remember you also went to the capital to watch the filming process! Why didn't Xiaolong give it to you?
Arrange a role?"
Dai Yu said: "I can't act. I can't even act as a maid. How could Xiaolong give me a role?"
Dad Dai smiled and said: "Xiaolong is a good director and is serious and responsible for the movie. If Xiaoyu had been given the role, the movie wouldn't be so good."
"That's true." Mother Dai nodded and said, "No, I will have to ask Xiaolong and the others for a few autographs later. They must be very collectible."
"Don't you have it a long time ago? I remember when Xiaolong was in the first grade of junior high school, you tricked him into getting his signature, right?" said the acting father.
The substitute mother rolled her eyes: "Can the signatures in junior high school be compared with now!"
"..."
Listening to his parents' bickering, Dai Yu smiled and sent text messages to Ma Xiaolong, Zhu Sha and Chen Jun: "The movie is great. Congratulations and have a happy New Year."
At night when thousands of houses are lit with lights, people across the country bid farewell to the Year of the Snake and usher in the Year of the Galloping Horse.
…
On New Year's Day, the main topic discussed by people all over the country and even the world was basically the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy: Moon Like the Legend". Not only the box office of domestic movies exploded, but the box office of foreign movies also exploded.
Driven by the operation of capital and profit, "The Legend of the Moon" received a considerable proportion of screenings abroad, and with the box office and word-of-mouth explosion on the first day, the proportion of screenings began to increase at a rocket speed.
Although foreigners don't want Chinese movies to be imported into their country, who would have trouble with money? Moreover, "The Legend of the Moon" is a fairy tale movie and can be understood as an upgraded version of a martial arts movie.
Foreigners love Chinese kung fu movies the most, and they also love the upgraded version of Xianxia movies, which do not involve modern things, and capitalists will not deliberately set traps.
So in the next month, "Moonlight" swept the global box office. Even after the thirty-day release, the popularity was still very high. In order to make money, those theater owners still left enough fans for "Moonlight"
As a result, the box office of "Moon Ruden" continues to grow.
At this time, the total global box office of "The Legend of the Moon" has exceeded 3 billion US dollars, breaking the global box office record in one fell swoop and firmly occupying the top position.
The second highest box office in the world is "Titanic", but it only has a box office of 1.8 billion US dollars, which is not at the same level as "The Legend of the Moon".
And Bruce Ma knows that even twenty years later, "Avatar", the world's number one box office grosser, will only have a box office of 2.78 billion US dollars.
In short, "Moonlight" will firmly occupy the top spot in the global box office list for at least the next twenty years, and no one can shake it.
Now, Bruce Ma can definitely proudly shout that sentence: "I am the king of the world!"
It's a pity that this year's Oscar selection has ended, and "The Legend of the Moon" can only apply for next year's Oscar selection.
Although Ma Xiaolong himself didn't care, for domestic filmmakers such as Feng Pants, the Oscars during this period were still the highest palace of world film awards. His own bosses didn't care about foreign awards, but they cared too much.
In addition to the Oscars, there are many foreign awards for which you can apply. Anyway, Feng Pants has made up his mind to send "The Legend of the Moon" to film festivals around the world to participate in the selection, so as not to win a few more awards.
It cannot highlight the awesomeness of Chinese movies!
Ma Xiaolong didn't care much about the changes in the outside world. He just spent the Chinese New Year with his family and enjoyed the joy of reunion with all his heart.
He was delighted at home, but domestic and foreign media reporters were going crazy.
The influence of "Moon Ruden" is so great that it is a global sensation. Now fans all over the world want to know more detailed information about the director and actors of this film.
It happened that at this time, the three directors and starring actors were all in hiding, leaving only the assistant director, the third female lead, and some supporting actors who went around promoting the film and accepting interviews and reports from domestic and foreign programs and media.
Although they are only supporting roles or small roles, they are just like the actors in the 1986 version of Journey to the West, because this drama is so classic that even a small role is enough to be loved by countless people, even if three decades later,
Ten years later, forty years later, it is still remembered by countless people.
To put it bluntly, this one role alone is enough to last them a lifetime, so every supporting actor in the movie is full of gratitude to director Bruce Ma.
I, Long Aotian, will protect Liu Boer to the death!
…
This year, Ma Xiaolong's family had a happy Spring Festival and Lantern Festival. Thanks to Ma Xiaolong's emphasis on culture, the town held unprecedentedly lively temple fairs and folk art festivals this year.
Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, there have been numerous stilt teams, lion dance teams, and martial arts teams performing on the streets of the town, and TV media have also conducted follow-up filming, interviews and reports, which has really promoted the town's charm.
traditional culture.
In particular, this martial arts team was formed by the villagers of Shuangshi Village in order to promote martial arts and seize the title of the hometown of martial arts.
The performances they performed were all real kung fu, and they were of various types and powerful. In half a month, countless bricks were destroyed, all by this martial arts team.
Their performances were also promoted on the Internet under Ma Xiaolong's instruction, which attracted martial arts enthusiasts from all over the country to come to watch and exchange, and even to learn from their masters.
Taking advantage of this popular trend, the villagers of Shuangshi Village set up martial arts schools in the small town one after another, opened them to recruit disciples, and spread the true traditional Chinese martial arts.
These martial arts are not showy, of course there are showy performances, but lethal fighting techniques are also taught. Of course, they are only taught to direct disciples, and ordinary students can only learn some routines, which are showy.
People with bad character cannot learn the fighting style, for fear that they will commit crimes in society after learning.
In addition, the temple fairs, stilts, lion dances and other programs in the town also attracted tourists from other places. Seeing this grand event, the local government was very happy and decided to turn the town into a tourist town. At the same time, it also applied for cultural festival promotion projects.
Similar to the Lantern Festival in Sichuan and Sichuan.
In short, we want to build the town into a business card for the world. As long as it is done well and there are enough tourists, a high-speed rail station and an airport will be built in the future, turning the town into an important transportation town with connections in all directions and facing the world.
More than ten years after his rebirth, Ma Xiaolong has become more and more influential in his hometown. He has made more and more extensive efforts in infrastructure construction, ecological civilization construction and cultural tourism in his hometown. He has truly single-handedly led his hometown to get rid of poverty and become rich.
