PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

On June 6, "A Chinese Ghost Story" officially held a midnight show at the theater under the Golden Princess in Mong Kok.

In the back row of the theater, Wu Xiaozu, Jiang Zhiqiang, Luo Dong, Fei Cheng, Su Liyao, Liang Jiahui, Jiang Jiahua and other members of the 1024 series spontaneously came to join in the show.

On the stage, Mr. Xu led Cheng Xiaodong, Zhang Guoying, Wang Zuzhen, Wu Ma and other cast members to accept interviews.

Looking at the charming woman in the center of the stage, with long hair and tall, who exudes purity in every frown and smile, Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly.

The world is stunning again!

In later generations, many people like to comment on the appearance of little flowers in ancient costumes. Liu Cameltoe Tianxian, Fatty Butterfly Hip, Da Mimi, Jiang Qinqin, Nazha, Yaya, Tangtang, and Zhao Baozi are all on the list.

However, in terms of its seductiveness and beauty, Wu Xiaozu is still optimistic about his own Wang Xianxian.

The book does not go into details.

The movie officially begins.

At the beginning, the sound of wind, bells, and weird electronic soundtrack are the first to catch people's attention. Among the rustling sounds, there is a gloomy and evil spirit.

The eyes of the film critics at the scene lit up, and their ears pricked up in unison.

Huang Zhan's electronic dubbing captured the hearts of film critics and audiences in an instant.Even Wu Xiaozu has to admire Mr. Huang Zhan's dubbing.It can be said that if there is no Huang Zhan, Tsui Hark's movies will definitely lose a bit of aura.

A good soundtrack master is enough to sublimate a movie by three points.Just like Tsui Hark's "Swordsman".

This "A Chinese Ghost Story" is one of those opening 15 seconds and you know it's got to be a good movie.In this play, Tsui Hark completed his self-salvation of the ancient costume fairy tales after "New Shushan Swordsman".

Paper lanterns, dilapidated ancient temples, gloomy bamboo groves, and fallen leaves drifting in the sky.

In the Qingdeng Ancient Temple, the sound of reading is faint, and the wind blows outside the window. The audience is instantly drawn into the world of A Chinese Ghost Story by the picture.Tsui Hark's skill can be seen.

In the opening few seconds, Tsui Hark lived up to his American background.

This "A Chinese Ghost Story" is dressed in ghostly and ghostly clothes, and it is about the love of modern men and women. It is expressed in the beautiful Chinese style of ancient costumes, but the structure of the film is a three-stage style of a real Hollywood commercial film.

The suspense and atmosphere created by the opening scene and the beautiful pictures instantly made film critics compare it with Li Hanxiang's "A Chinese Ghost Story" in 1960.What amazed them was that Tsui Hark used the romantic style of the new martial arts to reborn the opera style of Huangmei Opera.

The wind sings, the song moves, the moon hides, and the fog grows.

Accompanied by the melody, the sound of the flute is melodious, and the sound of the piano is quiet.

The lights are flickering, the moon is dim, and there are thunder and lightning.

The smoke curled up, and the wind gusts, like whispers.

The bell rings around, the camera slowly moves up, and the bell sounds lightly.

When Lanruo Temple came into view for the first time, the treasure hall made the audience fascinated and couldn't extricate themselves.

The dubbing is accompanied by the dim picture, which is perfectly matched.

In the flickering lights, wearing a long linen gown, with hair on the sideburns, sword eyebrows and star eyes, outside the window, there are shadows, ghosts crying and wind howling, instantly creating a spiritual atmosphere of ancient temple scholars.

"Zi said to achieve benevolence, Meng said to obtain righteousness!"

On the screen, Wu Xiaozu was dressed in an ancient costume, sitting cross-legged on a straw mat, holding a brush in his slender hand, drawing slowly, a line of exquisite lowercase letters was written on the ancient book next to him, full of antique elegance.

"(⊙⊙)!!!!"

Jiang Zhiqiang and Fei Cheng beside Wu Xiaozu stared at Wu Xiaozu on the screen in a daze, and turned their heads to look at Director Wu beside him.

"I visited the class that day, and I played the guest role of the scholar at the beginning." Wu Xiaozu coughed dryly, looked at the handsome and striking himself on the screen, and calmly explained to the people around him.

Pretending to be like the wind, always accompany me!

At that time, the image of Wu Xiaozu made Tsui Hark feel that the guests were overwhelming. In order to refuse the embarrassing situation of offering to a dead body for the first time, Wu Xiaozu had no choice but to give Tsui Hark a lot of ideas.

The ten-second shot in the opening scene is Wu Xiaozu's initiative.

Tsui Hark, who was domineering on set, wouldn't have made any changes if it wasn't really exciting.

Suddenly, the white gauze is light, the scholar played by Wu Xiaozu raises his head, and the camera moves back...

Among the misty curtains, a long white dress dances just like a fairy, graceful like a frightened bird, and graceful like a dragon swimming.

In an instant, the audience's eyes were fixed on the screen, unable to bear to leave.Nie Xiaoqian, played by Wang Zuzhen, is astounding all over the world as soon as she appears on the stage.

The long cyan hair dances in the air, and the white clothes shake like snow.

Looking back a little, bowing a little, the delicate body is light, the gauze fades, the white lotus root protrudes, the jade onion is lightly pinched, and the slender fingers stir the whole picture.

"What a nice view!"

A face-to-face, film critics and filmmakers couldn't help but sigh.I thought that Leti's Nie Xiaoqian was already beautiful enough, so I knew that Wang Zuzhen's Nie Xiaoqian was really heart-wrenching, and Tassel was hard to extricate myself from.

Lotte's version of Nie Xiaoqian, dressed in black and gold, is too dignified.

Under the loose and fluttering white dress with light gauze and flowing curtains, this is the real Nie Xiaoqian, the real beauty of the ancient temple.

Even if he had seen it in the previous life, Wu Xiaozu had to marvel that Xi Zhongwen's artistic attainments were really geniuses. The style of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has played the role of the founder of costume dramas in the future.

In the future, the fairy-like appearance in costume dramas will be inspired by this drama.

On the screen, there is tranquility in the beauty, Wang Zu's profile is full, black hair hangs on the sideburns, cheeks are dyed with rouge, and he grabs the hand of the ancient temple scholar played by Wu Xiaozu with a frown.

"Gollum—"

The male spectator leaned forward, eager to replace him.

Wang Zuzhen has a ring of long legs, and a slender and beautiful leg instantly makes the audience have a desire to lick the screen.There is a small and exquisite bell hanging on Bai Nen's ankle, adding a touch of cuteness.At this moment, the entire delicate body is sitting on the scholar's lower abdomen, and the two slender hands, like pulling a lychee, part the scholar's skirt, revealing the strong chest.

"Wow--"

The female audience swallowed their saliva in unison, Jiang Jiahua looked at Wu Xiaozu teasingly, her eyes full of teasing.

Sitting in front of the theater, Wang Xianxian couldn't help looking back for his lover.

That day, in order to film this scene, Wu Xiaozu almost burned himself with desire, and it was difficult to control.

Therefore, there was a situation where Wang Zuzhen really kissed Wu Xiaozu's chest.

As the silver bell on the ankle was grabbed by the scholar's hand, the bell rang everywhere, and the original beautiful and quiet music of the film suddenly changed, and the camera moved quickly.

In order to shoot this scene, the skill of the camera crew was really tested when the slide rails were laid, and there was a strange sense of danger coming in the process of searching. This required not only the skill of the cameraman, but also the dedication of the camera assistant.

An excellent movie, every detail affects the imaging of the movie.

Around the millennium in later generations, many people thought that Bangzi began to rise, but in fact, the movies of Bangzi at that time vaguely had the common problem of not paying attention to details.

Therefore, many movie masters think that the stick movie failed: in the silent place!
Of course, this cannot obliterate that Bangziguo has indeed learned the essence of Hong Kong movies, and its masterpieces are indeed very exciting.The ability to tell stories is at least a few blocks away from many domestic filmmakers.

In fact, aren't they playing the same things we played in the eight 90s?It's just that people have played out their own style and characteristics.

Where are the classic movie classics?
The lens is solid, and the picture, color, and scheduling are all particularly solid?

wrong!

In terms of the professionalism and solidity of the lens, many directors with professional backgrounds among domestic filmmakers are not inferior to others.For example, Kai Ge, his film lens skills are definitely very deep, and the foundation is quite awesome.Counting his movies in detail, you can say that "The Promise", "The Taoist Descends the Mountain", and "The Legend of the Cat Demon" are bad movies.

But you can't deny that the pictures, shots, and even the actors' performances of his films are far superior to those of many film directors.However, he gave birth to weasels, and every year was worse than every year.

These are not the classic places of classic movies. If you watch many classic movies carefully, the shots of many movies are not perfect.For example, in "The Godfather", some of his shots violated the rules of photography very much.However, the good thing about classic movies is that these shots may not be the best, but they are the most suitable!
This is exactly the case on the lens of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Tsui Hark's movies are unconstrained, not only worthy of the story, characters and scenes, fighting, the camera is very important.

If Liu Weiqiang's hand-held lens is the best in Hong Kong, then Pan Hengsheng is one of the best in the pursuit of artistic elegance.When shooting women, apart from Li Pingbin, Hong Kong and Taiwan photographers who can shoot women so beautifully may belong to Pan Hengsheng.

You can feel it in the shot of Nie Xiaoqian played by Wang Zuchen.Pan Hengsheng himself is a photographer who can speculate on the intentions of art directors. At the same time, he can also express this beauty through the lens.

...

Wu Xiaozu appeared on the stage for only ten seconds, and the male audience at the scene were all envious to death.It's okay if it's Zhang Guoyi, at least the elder brother's peerless elegance has its own halo, and it kills both men and women.Although Wu Xiaozu is very handsome... But obviously he doesn't have this kind of popularity.

Everyone looked at the screen, and there was a feeling in their hearts: Let go of that screaming, let me come!
Director Wu absolutely didn't know that in his first film in his life, not many fans showed up, but black fans appeared all over Hong Kong!
As the oil lamp goes out, it implies that the lamp is dry and the person is dead.

The expression of this image made the film critics on the scene nod secretly.Tsui Hark experienced the experiment of "New Shushan Swordsman", and finally transformed his own unique camera sense.

At this time, the red mantle rose all over the sky, and four mysterious black characters appeared - A Chinese Ghost Story.

...

"life journey,

A sweet dream is like a long road,
The road is wind and frost, and the wind and frost are blowing dry.

In the world of mortals,
How many directions do dreams have..."

Among the winding roads with green mountains and green waters, the male pig-footed Confucian shirt and Confucian hat played by the elder brother slowly walked closer and closer with a book basket on his back, as if he was about to step out of the screen.

Accompanied by his deeply sentimental singing voice, the whole movie shows its own temperament.

Zhang Guoyi's peerless beauty is paired with a slightly humorous performance, instantly showing the image of a young scholar in front of the audience.

This one-man show scene was made by Zhang Guoying with confidence, and you can't feel the slightest abruptness.This is not to prove how good Zhang Guoying's acting skills are in this scene, but that he endows the characters with spirituality.

For things like acting skills, you don’t need to devote yourself to the performance for the whole play, and more often you only need to complete the characters.In later generations, when Mr. Zhou acts in a play, you will find that she actually exerts her strength in two or three places in a play, and those few paragraphs are actually the soul of the whole play, and the rest is smooth.

This is the degree of relaxation and priority that conforms to the film process.Actors do not need to give too much content when they are acting.

The most important thing about an actor's acting skills is not what you look like, the most important thing is that you are not obtrusive in the whole play and do not affect the plot.

　The previous chapter was slightly revised.Originally, I didn't want to describe "A Chinese Ghost Story" in detail, but... Lao Wang really looks too much like my wife!
