Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 194: Lotus Tower premieres (th day of the Lunar New Year, Happy New Year)

Brother Yan’s move can be considered as attracting traffic to Weibo!

War of words always attracts attention...

How to end it?
If no one pays attention, it will just end!

Shen Yan promoted "Lotus Tower", which was a win-win situation - he criticized Jia Zhangke and promoted "Lotus Tower" at the same time. A win-win situation means winning twice!

As for why no one pays attention?

Because Shen Yan stopped talking...

It is true that we cannot defeat them, after all, the current environment is like this...

On the other hand, Shen Yan actually didn't have any awards or achievements to show for himself...

Yes, he looked down on the top three European awards, but this thing is indeed a kind of qualification, a medal. If you don’t have it, you have no right to criticize those who have won the award!

It seems that I need to find an opportunity to get an honor...

The Golden Lion, the Golden Bear...a little worse than the Palme d'Or...

There are only two kinds of film festivals in the world: Cannes and others.

The ultimate goal of almost all art film directors is Cannes.

Well, get the Palme d’Or first!

If for no other reason than to be able to feel justified when arguing with others later.

……

July 7, night, residence.

Li Wuchou is a thirty-year-old office worker...

After graduating from university, I stayed in Hangzhou.

I have a stable job and I really like martial arts novels!
By the way, I also like watching martial arts TV series~
However, this year's martial arts TV series made him particularly disappointed...

Especially Wang Jing's "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"...

Honestly, after Wang Jing went north, he created "Number One Under Heaven", "Eight Heroes", and "Little Fish and Flower", all of which were of decent quality. Even the subsequent "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" (starring Nie Yuan, Zhu Yin, and Gillian Chung) was not particularly bad...

After the broadcast of "The Twin Dragons of Tang Dynasty", many people left direct messages: Did Fatty Wang eat shit?

But tonight, Li Wuchou found that his long-lost heart was beating again.

At this moment, he was sitting in front of the TV, waiting for the broadcast of "Lotus Building".

He has read the original novel of "Lotus Tower" and found it well written, especially the male protagonist Li Lianhua!
Calm and composed, very charismatic!
This is something that is difficult for a hero who has lost power to do!
Many heroes in martial arts novels become famous at a young age, and despite setbacks, they still have a happy ending.

Or maybe a small person goes through a lot of hardships and struggles and finally becomes successful in his career and becomes a big person, and the novel probably ends here.

But "Lotus Tower" is different. Its protagonist Li Lianhua has lost his power from the beginning, and is poisoned by green tea. His former skills are only 10%.

But in him, there is no resentment, no blaming others, no self-abandonment, no broken jar...

Maybe there were moments when he felt disgusted with the world, especially when he met some malicious people in Sigumen, but he would never give up on himself.

He always has his own original intention and rhythm of life.

This protagonist is so well-created!
"Lotus Tower" was adapted into a TV series, and the male lead is still the original author...

The probability of not being consistent with the original is very small...

Around eight o'clock, the commercial ended and the screen went dark, like ink dripping onto white paper and slowly being ironed out.

Immediately afterwards, a light and distant ink painting appeared before his eyes, accompanied by the slightly quiet sound of a flute, and Shen Yan's voice came, "Just above the rivers and lakes, the scenery is vast..."

Who has not wandered, who has not watched the gathering and dispersing clouds, and admired the moon across the horizon~'

The theme song "Just Above the Rivers and Lakes" sounded...

Li Wuchou feels... it's just okay, not as good as "Guanshan Wine" and "Buwei Xia"...

Just watch TV!
The first thing you see is a grand scene: raging waves like mountains, sudden rain and strong winds, and the ships rising and falling with the huge waves.

On the top of the ship, the first master of the righteous sect, Li Xiangyi, the leader of the Sigu Sect, and the first master of the evil sect, Di Feisheng, the leader of the Jinyuan League, stood facing each other and fought to the death!
Li Huimin's camerawork is indeed quite good... There's no so-called sharp transitions—just a mountain, zooming in, freezing on the protagonist's face, then zooming out again...

Well, Flying Thunder God Technique!
This battle started with a wide panorama, and all the subsequent scenes were close-ups...

Shen Yan and Qiao Zhenyu...

At the beginning of the battle in the East China Sea, Di Feisheng sought to improve his martial arts skills. He pressed forward step by step, with each move being fatal, striving to defeat the world's number one martial artist and reach the top.

But Li Xiangyi always believed that Di Feisheng still had a conscience. Before the poison of Bi Cha took effect, he did not use any killing moves, but only asked about the whereabouts of his senior brother.

However, Bi Cha's poison took effect, and Li Xiangyi almost lost all his power. He misunderstood that Di Feisheng was the one who did it, and concluded that Di Feisheng was hypocritical and had a hidden conspiracy.

Di Feisheng thought he had won a narrow victory and did not want to continue fighting. He wanted to explain the matter of Senior Brother Li Xiangyi clearly.

In a flash, Li Xiangyi cut his own throat. Master Yang, exhausting all his remaining strength, gave Di Feisheng no chance to explain, and perished together with him, disappearing from the Jianghu...

Seeing this, Li Wuchou was very satisfied!

Both the fighting and the plot rhythm are pretty good...

I'm also willing to mess up the special effects...

Just waving your hand can create huge waves tens of meters high...

When watching martial arts movies, fighting is very important!

The scene changes, ten years later...

In a simple alley, a dilapidated Lotus Building is Li Lianhua's residence. The vixen opened the door and woke up her owner, Li Lianhua. Li Lianhua yawned and sat up from the bed, not forgetting to feed the dog, water the vegetables... and then went out to set up a stall...

On the street, a storyteller said: "That day, the sky was dark and the earth was shattered, and the sun and moon lost their light. Legend has it that Li Xiangyi fell into a trap set by the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance and was poisoned. However, the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance was soon eliminated by the Four-Guard Sect, which then fell apart, leaving only the Baichuan Courtyard, the Jianghu Punishment Hall...

Li Lianhua doesn't care about these things at all...

Shen Yan, who had changed into a cloth shirt, was arguing with a group of scholars in the vegetable market, but was suddenly stopped by an iron-clad gate, which asked him to save his young master who had died.

Then Fang Duobing appeared...

Li Wuchou stared at the TV from beginning to end...

Don’t dare to miss anything!
In fact, Chinese audiences are very easy to fool and can even eat shit.

Their requirements are not too high, just a slightly more logical plot and good-looking actors...

This requirement is really not high!

Judging from the first episode, "Lotus Tower" fully meets these standards.

Although Li Lianhua's look is a bit sloppy, it is also logical - after all, Li Lianhua is very poor, and it is within the acceptable range for the audience.

Before I knew it, the episode was over and the ending theme song "Borrowing the Moon" sounded... 'Let me borrow this moonlight to look at you again. No matter how miserable you are, I will always watch over you...'

Li Wuchou smacked his lips, feeling a little unsatisfied.

After a pause, I quickly turned on my computer again. People were already discussing "Lotus Tower" on Weibo...

"The character fit is 90 points, thumbs up! The fighting scenes are smooth and there are no slow shots, 100 thumbs up, Shen Yan is so handsome!"

“The impact of the action scenes is incredible!”

"Chen Xiao's Fang Duobing and Shen Yan are a perfect match. This fujoshi loves this!"

Episode 2... Li Lianhua easily solved the Qingshan fake death case...

Li Wuchou was surprised...is this too fast?

One case per episode?
In short, the audience watched and commented, and the reputation of the show was overwhelming.

After the show was aired that day, data from the next day showed that the first episode had a viewership rating of 1.07, the second episode had a viewership rating of 1.75, and the average market share was 7.1.

The pressure was on the next day’s “New Return of the Pearl”…

No kidding, Yang Siwei directly spent 300 million on Weibo to market "Lotus Tower"...

Very popular!
