"... "

The animations of the companies are listed one by one. Locomotive Entertainment, E7 Entertainment, ASEAN Film Federation, NEW Co., Ltd., and Korean Film Production all appear in the opening titles. More than 20 companies participated in the production, and the two major lines are side by side, densely packed.

Many people in the circle were speechless.

The cost of 1800 million Hong Kong dollars is said to have recovered 4100 million Hong Kong dollars before it was released.

Isn't this more profitable than robbing a bank?
No way, who asked him to be called Wu Xiaozu, and she was called Wang Zuzhen.

This is not a simple 1+1, not to mention that it is rare for Director Wu to play the leading role again?Now Principal Wu's performance in "Carmen in Mong Kok" is still used by Hong Kong Arts as a teaching material for students.

If it wasn't for Hong Kong Arts, there is no way to open a doctoral station for the time being... President Wu said that he should bring some female students who like face-to-face gifts and respect their teachers.

However, it was the opening logo of 'Causeway Bay is a big film company' that made many audiences happy and attracted their attention.

The overall style is vulgar and rustic but not ugly, how to describe it?
Coconut tree wind advertising design concept——

Poking to the extreme is tide!
"This sudden change in silhouette is Wang Xianxian turning into Ye Zimei?" Heizi, who was showing chicken feet, couldn't help joking.

Uh…

The designer and special effects artist who designed this logo previously worked for the company in the San Fernando Valley.

The black screen flashed, the subtitles appeared one by one, and the screen gradually lit up——

"what?"

"The lens feels a bit like a Japanese movie."

After the subtitles of the film, after the opening scene, the exterior scene is empty, and the camera is placed there quietly.

Farmland on the outskirts of the city intersects with train tracks.

The old-fashioned locomotive emits thick smoke, and the lush fields reflect the thick smoke. The large area of ​​smoke and cold chimneys are incompatible with the overall idyllic painting style, but it also makes people feel a sense of dislocation in time and space.

"This lens..."

Sitting under the stage was a young man with a plaid shirt and a serious beard, holding a notebook in his hand and staring at the screen.

He is a fledgling documentary filmmaker.

"How is it? Is it different from your appearance?"

With a mushroom head and dark skin, Hou Xiaochen, who looks like a fisherman in Fujian Province, smiled and said to the young man next to him: "Director Wu has never stopped exploring film language and camera.

I thought you should come, so I brought you here. "

"I've watched Director Wu's "The Summer of That Man", "The Suspect", "The Birth of a Prefix", "Big Brother", "Pulp Fiction", "Dark Flowers", "Gunfire"..." Beard Young The person paused, thinking for a few seconds and said: "In the film industry, a director who expands the margins like Director Wu is worthy of respect."

"It's Mr. Zhi, I know that you are preparing the documentary "When Movies Reflect the Times", I think you can try to analyze him." Hou Xiaochen pointed out otherwise, "This will be of great help to your future career planning. "

Yes, the documentary director beside him is called 'It's Hirokazu Kore-eda', and now Hirokazu Kore-eda is still an unknown person, and he has not become the darling of Cannes like Chief Jia...

In future generations, his status in Japan is equivalent to that of Chief Jia Ke in the Mainland.

Hou Xiaochen and Hirokazu Kore-eda can be regarded as both teachers and friends, and the latter is his loyal little fan.

There are also many imitations in the style of later generations. Some people say that Hirokazu Kore-eda is the successor of Yasujiro Ozu, but in fact it may not be the successor of Hou Xiaochen.

It turned out that Hirokazu Kore-eda approached him and Yang De-chang, wanting to make a documentary about the two of them.

Lao Yang thought about it and recommended him to record Wu Xiaozu first.

It happened that Hou Xiaochen also came to 'Qiafan', so he brought him along—

"This group of empty shots has an attitude of alienation and non-approach. The camera keeps a certain distance from the characters and does not interfere with the audience."

It was Hirokazu Kore-eda looking at the quiet figure under the tree, and coordinating with the narration, he felt that at least in terms of lens design, he had a bit of 'Ozu Yasujiro' demeanor.

And, it's not that deliberate, it seems like it should be.

Everything in the lens, great perspective, backlighting on the hillside, a tree, and a man standing under the tree.

The soundtrack played slowly, and the narration was pulled out.

In addition to the gentle background music, there is also the faint sound of a typewriter in the background.

This way of handling made Hirokazu Kore-eda feel like a "big trick but no work".

"The fixed long lens used creates a quiet and contemplative atmosphere, firmly grasping the hearts of the audience, making them dive deep into the emotions that the actors want to evoke in the video, and follow the characters in the time of silence and narration. Feel the weight of thoughts hidden in the bottom of the heart, presented on the face, and dispersed in the air." It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who picked up the pen and "swished" and recorded the rainbow fart in the diary.

Hou Xiaochen next to him had an expression of 'a child can be taught'.

Is a great talent!

Actually...

"When shooting this group of shots, the master had to take care of the performance, and it was very annoying to run back and forth. After shooting a few times, he simply asked me to use long shots..." Guo Zairong was explaining to his brother Jiang Digui said a word.

"The effect is amazing." Jiang Digui smacked the back molars of Dabing's face, feeling that Master's sense of the camera is really sharp.

"'We wanted to come here together in about two years, but unfortunately, she didn't come...'"

Amidst the narration, the camera slowly moved forward, and Wu Xiaozu, who looked like a simple bun with large glasses, appeared in front of the camera.

"Pfft..."

"Isn't it? This is Director Wu?"

"Which side are you?"

Many audience members and celebrities in the circle were startled, and then couldn't help smiling.

no way.

I am used to Wu Xiaozu's demeanor that dominates the Chinese circle, but I have never seen such an 'ordinary' time!

I have to say, the makeup technique is really good.

At least it's hard to see the shadow of Wu Xiaozu on weekdays, the whole person is just an ordinary man...

The picture is upgraded, and the sky is shot with an empty mirror.

Then the whole picture suddenly turned upside down - the framed version of 'Wu Xiaozu' wearing a suit sat upside down in the picture, and the other's legs were exposed in the camera.

The camera was pulled up to reveal the viewfinder frame of the camera, and then the camera was slowly raised to reveal a suit and leather shoes, with hair combed to look like an adult, although not handsome, but a very temperamental man image.

Sit quietly in front of the canvas and take photos.

It was Hirokazu Kore-eda watching this scene, as if he saw Yasujiro Ozu's usual style, but it was slightly different.

The camera lights in the movie flashed, which just brought the special Wenxi scene back to reality.

"Wait a mininute--"

In the movie, the actor played by Wu Xiaozu hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, and took out a portable phone that can pull out the antenna - Nokia 2110, uh, yes, this is an advertisement.

This model is a 'new phone' that Nokia will launch this year. In order to open up the Asian market, it will advertise in advance.

Oh, and the watch on the wrist is an ad too, as is the suit.

The ads aren't too obtrusive, though.

Wu Xiaozu still has this conscience... These are all VIP advertisements specially created for audiences who buy tickets and spend money.

Never lie to the poor.

In the movie, with the sound of the camera, the photo slowly returns to the old, and a childhood photo appears.

At the same time, the plot was introduced next to it—here, the sound of the typewriter could still be faintly heard.

This made many people think that this matter should be the "diary" written by the hero.
