Chapter 170 is very satisfying!
The movie continued playing on the big screen.
The three brothers received a new mission: to capture Wei Zhongxian.
After a thrilling and suspenseful scene, Shen Lian took Wei Zhongxian's gold to redeem Zhou Miaotong, and then reported Wei Zhongxian's death by self-immolation.
Subsequently, with the help of Zhao Jingzhong, played by Nie Yuan, the three of them managed to successfully complete their mission.
At this moment, a viewer in the theater whispered, "Hey, Luo Cheng doesn't look like a good person! How could he be so kind as to help them?"
Then, the scene shifts, and Tang Yan, dressed in plain clothes, appears.
Tang Yan hasn't played those naive and silly characters yet. The makeup and styling provided by Vision Entertainment is so pure and refined, with a touch of pitifulness in her eyes, making her beautiful without any threat.
A male audience member in the front row gasped and couldn't help but say to the guy next to him, "Holy crap, isn't that Zi Xuan? She looks exactly like my white moonlight!"
The guy rolled his eyes and ruthlessly called him out: "Don't give me that crap. Why don't you just say she's your ideal woman?"
The male audience member nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, yes! From today onwards, she is my one and only white moonlight!"
As the plot unfolds, Zhao Jingzhong's true colors are finally revealed, and he begins to devise ways to eliminate the three brothers.
After several failures, the three brothers realized something was wrong and began to consider leaving the capital.
Unfortunately, leaving isn't that easy.
On screen, Zhao Jingzhong approaches Ding Xiu late at night, asking him to kill Jin Yichuan.
This perfectly connects to the iconic scene from the trailer that went viral online.
When Gu Heng uttered that nonchalant and incredibly annoying line, "I have to pay more," the audience in the screening room instantly went wild!
"That's it, that's it!"
"We want more money!"
As the plot unfolds, the three brothers are held back by their respective weaknesses and ultimately cannot escape.
Ding Xiu had a child by the roadside deliver a message, leading his junior brother Jin Yichuan to the clinic.
When Jin Yichuan rushed over in a panic, the old doctor at the clinic had already passed away.
The wooden door creaked open.
Ding Xiu, played by Gu Heng, swaggered out carrying Tang Yan, who had already fainted.
Seeing this, the male audience members below the stage were heartbroken. That was their newly discovered white moonlight!
Director Gu, let her go!
Seemingly hearing the audience's sentiments, Jin Yichuan's eyes turned red on screen, and he shouted sharply, "Let her go!"
Gu Heng scoffed and, without a shred of pity, tossed Tang Yan, who was in his arms, towards Jin Yichuan like a sack of potatoes.
Jin Yichuan hurriedly caught it.
"I know that killing a doctor is a major taboo in the underworld. But there's nothing I can do; someone's paying for your head..."
Gu Heng carried a broken wine pot in one hand and pointed his index finger at Jin Yichuan twice with the other.
"They're very generous with their money."
"I'm going to kill you sooner or later anyway, and since someone's paying for it this time, I think we shouldn't wait any longer."
After saying that, Gu Heng slowly drew out the long Miao sword, his eyes swept over the unconscious Tang Yan, and he said with a half-smile.
"You have good taste, kid. This girl..."
The camera zoomed in suddenly, focusing intently on Gu Heng's roguish face.
Gu Heng dragged out the two words in an annoying tone.
"Very moisturizing."
This made everyone laugh.
"Haha! So moisturizing!!!"
Liu Yifei sat next to him, her pretty face flushed. Although she was usually a bit slow to react, she could still sense the wolfish meaning in the words and couldn't help but pinch Gu Heng's arm hard.
How come this guy, who usually acts like a gentleman, can play a scoundrel so naturally?!
Han Sanping and the others had the same thought: Is this acting, or is this just playing themselves?
A male audience member in the back row remarked, "Director Gu's eyes shone when he said that!"
Upon hearing this, someone burst out laughing: "God has eyes of light! Who was that just now?!"
From that moment on, Director Gu became a household name in the martial arts world.
Gu Heng, whose given name was Ding Xiu, courtesy name Henrun, and pen name Jiaqian Jushi.
However, as the story unfolded, the audience suddenly realized what was going on.
Ding Xiu, this roguish and money-grubbing man, never actually intended to kill his junior brother.
Unfortunately, fate was unkind. Junior brother Jin Yichuan ultimately died at the hands of the eunuch faction, and elder brother Lu Jianxing also met a tragic end.
The climax of the movie.
Outside the Great Wall, Shen Lian and Ding Xiu, seeking revenge, caught up with Zhao Jingzhong, who was attempting to escape.
An extremely hardcore, bloody battle.
In the end, Zhao Jingzhong was executed.
The big screen went dark, and the credits rolled.
Many people stood up and applauded enthusiastically.
Amid cheers, the creative team was invited onto the stage.
Just as Gu Heng took the microphone to give his speech, the male fan who had previously asked him to call out his name jumped out again, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Director Gu! We want to pay extra to hear you!!!"
The moment this guy opened his mouth, the entire audience erupted in unison, chanting, "Yeah! Give us one! Give us one!"
Director Lu Yang, standing next to Gu Heng, was so happy that his face was all scrunched up.
Gu Heng sighed helplessly, raised the microphone, and put on a serious face: "Everyone, calm down, these lines are the culmination of Director Lu's hard work..."
"You have to pay more!!!"
The moment those three words were uttered, not only were the audience delighted, but the actors and other bigwigs on stage were also pleased.
The premiere was a resounding success!
The night the premiere ended.
The first group of viewers who saw the movie went back home and enthusiastically recommended "Brotherhood of Blades" on various online forums, message boards, and blogs.
"Let me tell you, this is absolutely the best martial arts film of the last two years! The action scenes are amazing!"
"There are so many memorable scenes! Especially that guy! His portrayal of a thug is simply divine!"
"What? You haven't seen 'Very Lustrous' yet? Then you'd better buy a ticket right now!"
On its very first day of release, "Brotherhood of Blades" raked in 1500 million yuan at the box office!
This is an extremely impressive achievement, especially considering that the director is still a newcomer.
Those in the know even joked that at least 1500 million of the 800 million yuan box office was driven by director Gu's reputation as "the guy who adds money to his account".
In just a few days, screenshots of Gu Heng from the film flooded all major social media platforms.
"I need to pay more" and "very smooth" have been turned into various meme-worthy expressions that have gone viral across the internet.
Yang Mi, who is filming in Los Angeles, has stopped typing when chatting with Gu Heng these past few days.
They don't say anything, they just spam the screen with emojis.
Gu Heng stared at the emojis on his phone, speechless.
What kind of situation is this?
How come this supporting actor is more popular than the main character?!
