Chapter 439
: Cold Scene
The days passed by, and soon it was time for “The Grandmaster” to be released.
The subject matter of this movie is relatively unpopular, and Jiaxing did not promote it heavily before its release. On the day of the premiere, the number of people who went to the cinema to watch the movie was actually not very large.
Only some martial arts film lovers and professional film professionals bought movie tickets early in the morning and came to the cinema immediately.
In a movie theater in Shanghai, Li Yi had arrived early, waiting for the premiere of “The Grandmaster” to be broadcast.
She is a professional movie review writer. Every time a new movie was released, she would watch the movie, write a detailed review, and post it on social platforms.
In fact, this time, she hesitated for a while before coming, and had no intention of watching the movie at first.
Because “The Grandmaster” currently doesn’t have a particularly high level of attention, no one will read the reviews of a movie without traffic.
Li Yi has experienced this situation many times before. The movie reviews she worked so hard to write late at night did not get any traffic, resulting in her earning very little from royalties, which was often not enough to support herself.
But she finally chose to watch the movie.
The reason is very simple. This movie stars Yang Mi and Shen Yi. The popularity of these two people is there. No matter how unpopular the movie itself is, there will always be fans who will be willing to pay for it.
With this mentality, Li Yi waited until the movie started.
She sat in a comfortable seat, overlooking the entire auditorium from the back row, and found that about half of the seats were empty.
It seems that the movie “The Grandmaster” is more unpopular than she imagined.
The popularity that it had before has gradually been forgotten by netizens with the emergence of various other popular events.
In this empty theater, the movie officially started playing.
Li Yi also took out the notebook and pen he carried with him and looked up at the screen, always ready to write down key plot points in preparation for subsequent film reviews.
When the movie screen gradually appeared in front of her eyes, Li Yi was stunned.
The hazy picture presents a very high-end oil painting feel, using special Rembrandt light, which makes the light and shadow of the entire movie appear high-end.
It not only makes the picture more beautiful, but also highlights the mystery and delicacy of the characters, giving the characters a classical beauty.
After watching so many movies, she had never seen a movie that took such a different approach in terms of photography and lighting techniques.
Whether it is composition, perspective, exposure, color, or lens movement, they all show a high level of professionalism.
This made Li Yi feel confused.
The director of this film is Zhang Zhe. As a director of TV series, he has natural shortcomings in shooting movies.
However, the effect of the movie “The Grandmaster” broke her impression of Zhang Zhe.
How could his style level suddenly change so quickly?
It’s incredible…
As the movie gradually entered the plot, Li Yi’s expression became more and more serious, staring at the screen for a moment.
When I saw Gong Er, played by Yang Mi, saying that they all say they have no regrets in life, it was just a matter of anger. If there were really no regrets, it would be so boring.
There were so many obstacles before, but once I said it, I got over the trough and felt extremely calm.
These words made Li Yi think deeply.
The relationship between men and women is as close as it is close, and as long as respect is long-term.
There may not be many regrets in a person’s life, but regrets must be common.
It is because of this that life becomes full of ritual and becomes more charming.
Li Yi’s eyes were hot, and she couldn’t help but wonder, if she had understood this earlier, she would have been less hesitant and unable to sleep, and less sad and weeping.

In fact, whether it is the tit-for-tat confrontation between Ip Man and Gong Er, or the long-lasting friendship between Ip Man and Zhang Yongcheng, both are very good.
Sometimes if you don’t care about too many gains and losses, you won’t live so tiredly.
While Li Yi understood these truths, she couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
Are all Kung Fu movies nowadays so great in terms of plot?
Not only is the plot compact and advancing layer by layer, it is also thought-provoking and contains many golden sentences.
Not inferior to any feature film!
Unexpectedly, “The Grandmaster” turned out to be such a high-quality film, and its value far exceeds the ticket price.
Of course, to be able to achieve such a good movie effect requires the cooperation of all aspects of the picture, sound, and script.
In addition to the climax and ups and downs of the plot of “The Grandmaster”, which made Li Yi’s heart tightly grasped, the actor’s acting skills are also outstanding.
Needless to say about Shen Yi, Li Yi has watched his TV series and movies before, and his acting skills have always been online. No matter how picky you are, you can’t find any faults.
What surprised Li Yi was actually the other leading actors, Yang Mi and Reba.
One of them is a super first-line actress and the female boss of Jiaxing Media, and the other is a little flower who is very popular recently.
The common feature between the two is that they have great looks and hot bodies, but their acting skills are average and they are no different from vases.
However, in this movie, Li Yi actually began to feel that the acting skills of Yang Mi and Reba had made a qualitative leap.
From the past, my expressions were exaggerated, my performances were artificial, and I was prone to drama.
Up to now, every performance is just right, and every frame has a strong appeal.
When they cry, the audience outside the screen will feel their hearts throbbing and want to cry along with them.
When they laugh, the audience can also feel the real joy.
It can be said that the two people’s acting skills have improved a lot, and their explosive power is several times stronger than before.
…
Two hours passed quickly.
It wasn’t until the ending song played that Li Yi was shocked to realize that not a single word was written on the notebook in front of him.
She was so focused on the screen the whole time that she completely forgot about the habit of taking notes.
By the time she woke up from a dream and came to her senses, the movie was over.
In the screening room where there were not many people, the first solitary round of applause came.
Then, the second, and the third.
Li Yi also clapped, feeling proud from the bottom of her heart.
This is a complete domestic martial arts film.
Whether it is the plot, the actors, the pictures, or the episodes, they have all reached their peak.
Because of work, Li Yi sometimes introduces Chinese movies to foreign friends.
Every time she mentioned martial arts movies or kung fu movies, she tried to find an excellent movie that she could proudly recommend to foreign friends.
But after so many years, she still hasn’t found it.
And now, that movie is finally here.
That is “The Grandmaster”.
This movie explains the turmoil in the entire martial arts world. It has feelings, martial arts, and more emotions. It is an excellent movie.
