On New Year's Day, Wen Qu slept until ten o'clock and didn't get up. Gu Chengzhou called just after washing up: "Are you up yet?"

"Get up," Wen Xun said a little embarrassedly, he watched TV a little late last night, and Gu Chengzhou called several times in the morning, and he has not woken up until now.

"Okay, you go downstairs now."

Wen Xun was taken aback: "Ah? Have you arrived yet?"

"Well, it's just downstairs from your house."

"Oh, then I'll get down right away," Wen Que speeded up the change of clothes, and walked out while pulling the zipper of the down jacket.

Gu Chengzhou's car was parked under the unit building. It seemed that the fire hadn't been turned off, and it probably didn't take long to arrive. Wen Xun felt relieved, opened the door and sat in.

After getting into the car, Wen Xun realized that Gu Chengzhou was also wearing a down jacket today, but it was white, with a hat behind the collar.His hair was cut shorter on the sides and slightly longer on the top of his head, revealing his forehead. He didn't use pomade, and his overall look made him look very young.

When his eyes fell on Gu Chengzhou, Wen Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he raised his thumbs up with both hands: "So handsome!"

"I think so too," Gu Chengzhou looked at the road ahead with a relaxed expression and a hint of a smile in his tone.

Because it was New Year's Day, there was a bit of a traffic jam on the street. When we arrived at Starlight Plaza, the parking spaces were all full. There was no underground parking lot in Starlight Plaza, so Gu Chengzhou could only drive to find a place to park.They finally found a parking space, but it was a bit far away, and it took five or six minutes to walk to the Star Plaza. However, in this case, they had no better choice, so they parked the car.

Because Wen Xun didn't have breakfast, the first thing they did when they arrived at Star Plaza was to find something to eat.

It’s just that restaurants and movie theaters are always overcrowded during festivals. Movie theaters are better. If you book tickets online in advance, you can always get movie tickets, but restaurants are not so good.The restaurants on the Starlight Plaza are all relatively cheap restaurants. There is no reservation service, so you can only queue up on the spot.This store is actually quite early, but most of the restaurants in the square are still full, and some restaurants with good reviews have already formed long queues.

Wen Xun didn't feel it when he was sleeping, but now he feels very hungry. He just wants to find something to eat, and the taste is no longer within the scope of consideration. Of course, the restaurants that can be opened here generally have no taste. It will be bad.

So they picked a restaurant with the least number of people, and the main dish of the restaurant was grilled fish.

When ordering, Wen Xun asked Gu Chengzhou: "The portion of grilled fish is huge, can the two of us finish it?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't finish eating," Gu Chengzhou said.

"Okay, let's order a grilled fish!" Wen Ting said and checked on the menu, "What do you want? I want to add enoki mushrooms and dried tofu. Hey, there are sweet potatoes here. How about a dish?" A serving of sweet potatoes..."

When the grilled fish came up, the portion was really big. The fish was almost as long as the two heads of Wenquan, and it had a strong aroma. It was covered with red peppers. It looked very spicy, and Wenquan felt like drooling. down.Wen Xun stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish meat, the meat was very tender, with some chili on it, very spicy and delicious.

Naturally, Wen Xun was full again, but Gu Chengzhou, who had breakfast in the morning, was not very hungry at the moment, and he didn't eat much, mainly because he was watching Wen Xun eat.

Wen Xun walked into the cinema rubbing his belly.

Standing at the entrance of the cinema, looking around, the inside is full of human heads, and there is a lot of voices, mixed with the cries of children, which is very lively.

Wen Xun closely followed Gu Chengzhou's footsteps to redeem the ticket.

There were also several long queues at the ticket redemption window. Wen Xun picked the one that seemed to be the shortest, while Gu Chengzhou queued in the other.After queuing for a few minutes, Wen Xun realized that there were few people in his team, but he didn't know if someone jumped in front of the queue or what happened, so he insisted on not moving. Wen Xun saw that Gu Chengzhou had been queuing all the way to the front, so he gave up. Continue to line up here, but go to Gu Chengzhou, give him the phone, and ask him to redeem the ticket.

After queuing for more than ten minutes to redeem the tickets, Wen Yu felt very grateful: "Fortunately, I said I would come early. If it was later, the movie might have already started by the time we got the tickets."

When we got to the screening room, the movie had just started.

The scene they are watching now is Director Zhang's new play. Director Zhang is not an honorific title, but the director's full name. He is the sixth generation of film directors in China. , but always win prizes.Later, because the media generally commented that the commercial value of his films was not high, he started his journey of commercial films in a fit of anger. The investment of his first commercial film was only 2000 million, and all the films used new actors, but when it was released, it earned 9000 million. million at the box office.Since then, he has never returned on the road of commercial films. Although the box office of each film is higher than that of each film, the evaluation of the film has been declining. The media began to say that he is exhausted, and he has not been crowned the king of bad films. The title is entirely supported by some literary films he made before.

Director Zhang accepted an interview two years ago. When he talked about this matter, he said: "I make literary films, and they say my films have no commercial value. I make commercial films, and they say that the artistic value of my films is too low. Then I I can only say that these people are too difficult to serve, but I don’t make movies to serve anyone, I make the stories I want and the feelings I want, and that’s enough.”

As soon as this remark came out, a large number of media people were offended. Although some viewers felt that he was straightforward, the evaluation of Director Zhang, whether it was in the paper media or on the Internet platform, plummeted to the bottom, and his new work after two years was initially publicized. Was slammed by the media.

After the film's premiere, some film critics cursed: "This is a rubbish movie, totally worthless!"

Some people even ridiculed: "Director Zhang became famous for being good at making literary and artistic films back then. Later, he turned to commercial films and made enough money. Now he wants to return to literary and artistic films to earn his fame back, but he made a film called Four Different."

The film has not yet been released, and the score on Douhu has dropped to 6.7 points.

However, after the movie was released, there were more positive reviews than negative reviews, and the ratings of the movie on Douhu also increased.

Director Zhang’s films, Wen Xun, have seen almost all of them, whether they are early art films or later commercial films. Although his commercial films are generally typical of high box office and low reputation, Wen Xun still feels that he cannot talk about Director Zhang’s movies against his will. It's a bad movie.Although some plots are indeed a bit exaggerated, the movie can always touch him inadvertently, which is why the movie's reputation is not good, but Wen Xun still decided to come to the cinema.

The name of the movie is "Assassin". It tells the story of a boy who was adopted and trained as an assassin since he was a child. After various rigorous trainings, he became the only one among dozens of children who survived and became a killing machine.He received a new mission to assassinate an important official of the court. He pretended to sneak into the mansion of that important official. He has implemented many policies that benefit the people, which made him fall into painful choices.

"Assassin" has become Director Zhang's comeback work of literary films. The actors have used powerful actors who have become popular in the past few years. The heroine is Cai Minmin, who has become the head of the jade girl. The supporting roles are also powerful actors. It can be seen Director Zhang attaches great importance to this movie.If Director Zhang made this film at the same level as he made a literary film ten years ago, it would definitely become a favorite for this year's awards. It's just that he has been making commercial films for too long, and neither the media nor the audience trust him that much. , this movie may not be rubbish like some bad reviews, but it may just be a watchable movie, and what it expresses may not be so resonant.

Even so, the screening hall that Wen Xun watched was full of people except for the first two rows.

After all, he is a great director, no matter what others think of him, he still has appeal.

The movie opens with a fight.

They were a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, dressed in rags, mostly dark and thin, with fierce eyes and merciless strikes.

When the camera zoomed in, it was a pair of innocent and innocent child's eyes, but when the owner of those eyes cut another child's neck with a dagger, what appeared in those eyes was not pain, but joy, madness and even excitement.

Wen Xun heard the sound of the audience inhaling in the projection hall, a timid girl averted her eyes, came with her boyfriend, and buried her head in his neck.Even Wen Xun himself had to hold on to the armrest of the chair to keep his body shaking, it was so cruel!

The rain fell like a pour, washing the blood on the ground.

The corpses are all over the place, which is shocking.

In the vast world, there was only one young man left standing who was covered in wounds and stained with blood.

This is a rotating shot, and then the shot gradually lengthens, and a young man walks slowly with an oiled paper umbrella.

In the next second, the camera turned, and a row of young men in shabby clothes stood in the middle of the courtyard. In front of them was an old man with a slightly rickety back, flatteringly said to a middle-aged man sitting on a chair: "Master, these people will Do some carpentry, I have a lot of strength..."

The overall tone of this movie is gray and dark, which always gives people a sense of crisis, as if they will fall into the abyss in the next second.

Although I haven't finished watching it yet, Wen Xun understands that Director Zhang is a director who has directed so many films after all. Although he has made commercial films for so many years, and the reputation of each film is worse than that of the other ones, he really wants to make a film. Movies, there is nothing he can't do.This is not to say that the commercial films he made were not thoughtful, but after all, the positioning is different. He may belong to the kind of polarized director who can win awards for literary films and make money for commercial films.

Of course, Wen Xun felt that he did not put as much thought into making those commercial films as this one.

At the end of the movie, the assassin is dead.

This is not a good ending, but Wen Xun is not surprised. This is not a happy comedy movie. The role of assassin is full of tragedy from the beginning, and death is not unexpected.

Just thinking about it, I still can't help feeling a little sad in my heart!
