Chapter 265 "Two Heroes" ends, the lingering voice curls

In the mirror on the screen, Liang Jiahui kept running away, while Zhou Runfa chased after him.

The entire room full of glass mirrors has long been a mess.

Suddenly, the mirror shattered, and the camera showed a panoramic view of the entire scene of the two fleeing.

Flipping the window with bare hands, jumping, rolling, and leaping, each shot is presented on the big screen after sharp editing.

The most adrenaline-stimulating scene is a series of chasing scenes in which 'Liang Jiahui' snatches the son born to him by his mistress and flees, then hides the child in the church and stuffs a crossbow for him to protect himself.

Since it's a shootout action movie, and the two men shot, how could there be no more exciting action? ?
(☆_☆)/~~
Action, after all, is the strongest pillar element of commercial movies! !

Chasing and fleeing scenes have always been the most classic of Hong Kong movies and the most representative label in action movies.Hong Kong films have contributed many wonderful chase scenes to world cinema.

When the group of Hollywood action scumbags in the later generations saw the design of the martial arts director in Hong Kong movies for the first time, they were almost astonished.There is a big one, the same hands and feet, how can you Asians be shocked by "Asian squats"!

Violent neighborhood?

If we say that the respected master of the Oscar achievement, the pride of the Chinese, the Hong Kong Island action people headed by Cheng Long started the "dangerous parkour" fighting with their lives decades ago, as Chinese, we can't make a fool of ourselves, right?

Anyway, Big Brother Cheng himself said this in the later interview program... ╮(╯▽╰)╭! ! !Don't blow it, don't... black, Bazaar!

Under Pan Hengsheng's many track shots, the artistic conception of this movie has been revealed.

In this movie, the use of tracks is definitely the finishing touch.

The movie itself is naturally a two-dimensional content. When watching a movie, the audience must let them immerse themselves in this two-dimensional picture.Travel, seek and explore with them.This is the sense of substitution that many directors pursue.

This feeling of turning two-dimensional into three-dimensional space can be fully displayed in front of the audience through tracks and lenses.Let the audience have expectations for the film.

Wu Xiaozu emphasizes space, mirror image, color and light, all in order to create a sense of substitution.

This is the same as listening to cross talk, you clearly know that the real name of the young class leader is Yu Qilin, but you just want to show that his surname is Guo!
Hmm, that's roughly what it means, no flaws.

This is called the improvement of artistic conception!
The work in front of me, in the eyes of countless knowledgeable people, is undoubtedly a masterpiece that has been elevated above the artistic conception.

Just like Wu Baige's "The True Colors of a Hero" in 1986, after decades of Chinese-language movies, there is still no work that can achieve the artistic conception of showing brotherhood with romantic and gorgeous lenses.

...

The last scene was originally set on the rooftop at 333 Java Road, North Point, Hong Kong Island.Unfortunately, it is not the North Point Government Offices, the famous filming location in later Hong Kong films, so it is not suitable for filming.

Later, Wu Xiaozu thought of the Kowloon Walled City. He always felt that the Kowloon Walled City was a place with a special appearance of sentient beings.But considering the tone of the film at the time, I still dismissed this idea.

In the end, he still chose the church roof at the beginning of the film to shoot the scene.

The empty rooftop is surrounded by dilapidated and decaying buildings.The prismatic cathedral stands with a huge cross.White doves dance lightly.

The lens is from left to right, the angle is very low, and it also has a zoom, sweeping quickly,
phoenix,
Blowing up the corner of the suit, with a clatter, he turned around abruptly.The lens suddenly zoomed up and turned into a moving panorama.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

The two guns stand facing each other, and under the camera, the muzzles of the two men are pointed at each other's heads.

The background music sounded, the guitar gently picked the strings, gently swept the music, the sound of the wind, the sound of the piano, and the deep and complex performance of the cello and the blur of the saxophone.

Liang Jiahui raised his eyebrows, shaking the gun in his hand with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You, you will never have a long memory.

A bullet? "

While speaking, he took out another pistol from his back waist and pointed it at Zhou Runfa.

"One bullet is enough." Zhou Runfa bit the back of his cheek.

"OKOK... Dude, to be honest, every time I see my sexy face, I really can't help it." 'Liang Jiahui' looked at Zhou Runfa's own face with a little obsession.

"I'm just the opposite. Every time I look at this face in the mirror, I feel sick and want to vomit." Zhou Runfa said his lines blackly and humorously with a handsome face.

The cross is lit by the sun and the shadows are growing.

Zhou Runfa glanced at this change lightly, moving slowly, calculating the angle of the sun.

The camera cuts to a close shot—

suddenly!

The sunlight shone on Liang Jiahui's eyes, causing him to blink subconsciously——

boom!
Bang bang bang!
The camera was on Liang Jiahui, he touched the bloody hole in his chest, raised his foot fiercely and kicked Zhou Runfa moaning on the ground——

Swish!
There was a noise!
Not far away, a trembling teenage boy stood there fearfully holding a crossbow.

Liang Jiahui looked at the son born to him by the mistress on the opposite side, showing a smiling face, shaking his head in a guilty manner, and reaching out his hand helplessly to wipe his chest, the blood flowed——

Under the panoramic lens, the little boy stood beside him tremblingly, and the crossbow in his hand fell to the ground.The two men were lying on the ground, blood was flowing, the shadow of the cross was attached to Liang Jiahui, and the tip pointed right at the steel arrow, full of black humor and irony of fate.

Audiences, film critics and filmmakers looked at the sudden reality in front of them, feeling as if their hearts were being choked by the hand of fate.

Liang Jiahui "hijacked" his son to leave, hid him in the church, and prepared to take him away.

then,

In the church, where he had no intention of shooting, he was killed by his own son.

This ending is full of Wu Xiaozu's paradoxes!

"Fuck!"

Countless film critics were shocked for a moment.

There are two versions of Wu Xiaozu's final ending. The first one is that the two people fought after the drag racing and leap just now. The gangster was killed and the police won.

The other is the rooftop scene where the two stand on the rooftop.

For this premiere, he chose the second ending to see the audience's reaction in advance.There are many famous rooftop dramas in Hong Kong movies, such as "Bullet Rental", "Dark War", and "Eavesdropping", including Cheng Long's rooftop dramas.Of course, the most famous is "Infernal Affairs".

Before "Infernal Affairs", the rooftop drama was not singled out.

Wu Xiaozu hopes to use this confrontational composition to finally complete the end of the whole movie.

However, Hong Kong Island is Hong Kong Island after all, and business is always business.

If this ending really doesn't make the audience feel comfortable, then he will choose the first solution without hesitation.

However, looking at the shocked expressions of the audience, although it was a bit abrupt, it obviously did not disgust the audience.

In fact, no matter which one it is, it will naturally be a happy ending in which the positive character wins.

Obviously, as long as the audience is cool enough, they don't mind if the director has some ideas of his own!

The last scene is naturally the ending where Zhou Runfa, who was rescued by the police, finally changed back to the face of "Liang Jiahui", and then reunited with his wife and daughter.

The screen gradually fades—

Suddenly, it lit up again.

The many spectators who were about to get up were all pushed back to their positions abruptly.

Liang Jiahui, who had resumed his original post, was accepting the commendation from the police station, when he suddenly turned his head, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a scene that was slightly out of character!

Before the audience could react, the picture stopped abruptly!

The lights in the theater were turned on, and the ending song of the film was accompanied by the clear beats of the drum kit and hand rattles. A rock song with a low voice but full of charm resounded throughout the auditorium.

"My loneliness and my tears, my performance is indifferent;
If you want to be strong, you need to suffer, if you want to regret, you need to repent;
better keep your mouth shut... oh...

There is no right and wrong in dreams, there is safety and danger in dreams,
I am also you, and you are also me...we have mistakes and right..."

Wu Xiaozu cosplayed the song "Black Dream" by Immortal Dou, and led a half-apprentice-level follower, Beyond, to sing this absurd rock work.

"Is Liang Jiahui really Liang Jiahui?" Lin Qingxia asked doubtfully.

"..."

Wu Xiaozu shrugged and stood up.

At this moment, the entire theater applauded thunderously, and countless audiences and film critics presented him with the most beautiful music.

last shot?
Liang Gahui, who was sitting in the corner, shook his head helplessly at Jiang Jiahua. That shot was just a "mistake" during the shooting.

At the time of filming, Liang Jiahui thought the filming was over, so he tried to find the feeling of another character, and then...unexpectedly, Wu Xiaozu chose this mistake as the end of the film!

An excellent director is very good at using this kind of seemingly goofy and laughing shots to become the finishing touch.

The greatest blunder, of course, is the end credits of The Graduate.

It was because the assistant was inexperienced and forgot to say "click", but he didn't expect it to become the most classic ending in film history!
Often there are countless inspirations and magical touches between masters and good directors!

At the end of the movie, the applause continued and the music sounded faintly!
This movie will surely become a very important milestone in the history of Hong Kong movies.Not only is the film wonderful, but most importantly, this film kicked off the golden prelude to the Hong Kong film chaos!
With the emergence of Xinbao Cinema, Hong Kong films have truly entered the peak era!
At the same time, this movie has also become the first big-budget, big-cast movie released in the summer file that passed the trial run of the "1987 Film Censorship Bill"!

This movie was classified as a IIB movie by the prosecutor because of violence and foul language, that is, it is not suitable for children to watch!Of course, this is not a mandatory requirement, and minors can also choose to watch it accompanied by their parents.

In the initial stage of the film rating system, the concept of rating was still vague.

In fact, although Brother Cheng Long, Master Xing, and Brother Fa in later generations are box office guarantees, most of their films are Class II films.

In other words, most action commercial films basically fall into this category.In comparison, the grading system on Hong Kong Island ensures that filmmakers are more creative, which is one of the main reasons for the development of Hong Kong films.

Today, the dedicated Class III theater has not yet been officially completed, and the supervision team is also being perfected. I believe that with the formal implementation of film classification, the Hong Kong film industry will usher in a big explosion.

It can be said that the establishment of Xinbao Theater really took advantage of the right time, place and people!
