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

Sammo Hung greeted Wu Xiaozu with a proud smile, accompanied by Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying and others, chatting and laughing one by one.Entertainment reporters, paparazzi, and even social news reporters frantically flicked on the flashlights.

Not far away, Gao Lihong's face was slightly bitchy.

Stars such as Zhou Runfa, Liang Jiahui, Hong Jinbao, Anita Mui, Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying, Mecca, and Yang Ziqiong made the screening room look extraordinarily bright.Not to mention the direct descendants of Zhou Huimin and Roy Kin.If it wasn't for the occasion that Zhang Guoyi was inconvenient to play in order to cultivate the temperament of the character, he would definitely have come to join him.

In addition, Zhang Guozhong from Yineng Film Company, which Xiang Sheng cooperated with, also came to catch the heat with his little tender meat Liu Dehua.

Andy Hua Tsai is the same as the popular fresh meat of later generations, needless to say, his popularity, but his status, qualifications and strength are far behind.Smiling obediently, he kept saying hello to the seniors in the circle.

"It's about to start."

The staff took the initiative to remind Xiang Shisan, who shuttled through the "connections" like a butterfly.Despite Xiang Sheng's shrewdness and calmness, he couldn't hide his happiness today.

"Chamber of Fear" officially opened, which made him feel the beauty of the spotlight for the first time.The movie was successful, and he naturally gained a foothold in the circle.The Xiang family also started the road of whitewashing in a real sense.

Movie fans crowded and shouted towards the inside of the theater.

"This movie must be very special to Wu Xiaozu! Looking at the poster full of sense of fate, the whole body trembles. Wu-style movie style!"

"Support Fa Ge and Director Wu!"

"Zhou Runfa and Liang Jiahui's second film, the two best actors are worth the ticket price! Hurry up... Hurry up, squeeze."

The largest movie theater in Mong Kok of Xinbao Cinemas, with about 310 seats.This is the largest theater in the multiplex cinemas on Hong Kong Island at this time.In later generations, the largest theater in Hong Kong has more than 400 seats, which is already considered a super-large theater.

The number of seats in this theater is comparable to the total number of seats in a theater in Golden Harvest and Debao.It can be seen how much impact Xinbao Cinema has had on theaters!Xinbao Cinema has many large and medium-sized theaters, with great influence and coverage.

Incorporating Antai, which later became the Anle Hollywood theater chain, Xinbao Cinemas has a larger capacity in this life than in the previous life.

In the theater, stars gathered, media people, film critics and film practitioners were also very dense.

Wu Xiaozu's "Fear Room" has attracted the attention of countless people in the industry.

The small train of 1024 locomotive is much more refined than before, and the sound of the dirty whistle made the originally chaotic theater slowly quiet down.

Then, the Yongsheng logo appeared, and Xiang Sheng also showed a smile.

The movie begins.

"Shh!"

The dilapidated wooden nameplate hung with a rusty chain suddenly fell in the middle of the screen, climbing on yellow vines and rusty gears.It's a bit creepy and a bit punk gothic.

The title leaked out——

"Fear Room"!
The slightly cold picture was reflected on the screen, and the flashing subtitles were slightly shaky, making the audience watching the show instantly attracted.

This scene.

Film critics' eyes lit up.

Before the feature film of the movie started, the title prologue created a mysterious atmosphere.

"It's so weird."

Several well-known film critics on Hong Kong Island opened their eyes wide. This film seems to be very different from Wu Xiaozu's previous style.Although it is both a horror film, it is definitely different from the perverted melting pot thriller of "Rainy Night Butcher". This film reveals a unique punk and mysterious style from the beginning.

That's right!

This movie Wu Xiaozu is mixed with punk and mysterious elements.In the previous life, the "running group" game was very popular.

Director Wu himself likes the "team battle" after running a group, so he has studied the "Cthulhu element". In the games and novels of "Ke Zong", there will always be some steampunk style

Wu Xiaozu has always felt that "Chain Saw" is a movie that is very suitable for introducing such elements.

Of course, Wu Xiaozu will not be so boring as to introduce Cthulhu indiscriminately.In addition to letting go of thoughts, directors must also learn to restrain their thoughts.He just needs to create this type of atmosphere.

In the previous life, "Saw 1" can be said to be one of the most classic horror movies in the history of movies, and it has both the depth and commerciality of the movie.It's hard to imagine that this movie came out of a 20-day rush shot by a rookie.

but.

This happens to be the charm of this movie, fresh and imaginative enough to make you doubt life.

Wu Xiaozu copied this movie, he was not sure if he had Wen Ziren's horror talent.He knows how to shoot and he knows how to film.So he knows very well that the same story, if different people take over, may produce completely different effects.

If it is possible, and he is not stupid, wouldn't it be enough to just copy the movie to save time and effort?

Besides, he doesn't think that purely Western-style movie is really suitable for Hong Kong Island at this stage.At that time, the alliance with Tsui Hark, in addition to tricking him, also took a fancy to Tsui Hark's ability to be unconstrained.

Mr. Ke, what is fascinating is the exploration of mystery in the punk style.

"Chain Saw 1" can fully integrate into this mysterious wind.

even.

In the previous life, Wu Xiaozu wanted to shoot a movie with a mysterious style, but... the country said: you take a rest first.

"Has a British accent?"

Tsui Hark switched legs and stabbed Wu Xiaozu next to him, after all he was one of the producers in name.

"??" Wu Xiaozu was serious, looking at Tsui Hark with a smile on his face, and on the other hand withdrew his hand in the dark, and Gao Lihong, who was next to him, lowered his head, brushed his hair, and moved his butt.

"British accent?"

"A mixture of British Victorian classical style and modern machinery in the [-]th century. Just like Hong Kong Island in the colonial era.

It is difficult for you to find an oriental city like Hong Kong Island, where modernity and classicism, advanced and ignorant, old-fashioned and unrestrained are contradictory and unified.The most advanced aircraft in the world are flying in the sky of Kowloon Walled City.It's roughly like this.

Didn't Einstein say that imagination is more important than knowledge?Since Hong Kong Island has endowed us with so much wealth, I simply came up with a patchwork aesthetic. "Wu Xiaozu thought for a while and explained to Tsui Hark who was staring at him, he would never have thought that these words would shock Tsui Hark.

If it weren't for his clear mind, in Tsui Hark's eyes, Wu Xiaozu would be a pioneer in the exploration of Hong Kong Island and even Chinese-language films, with a halo in the back of his head.

He knew that with this "post-modern aesthetics" argument, the movie in front of him would definitely become another classic of Hong Kong Island movies.

Black humor, violent aesthetics, film structure, post-modern aesthetics... The talent and prospects revealed in Wu Xiaozu's words made Tsui Hark tremble with excitement.

Wu Xiaozu would never have thought that Tsui Hark beside him would lead to so many things in this instant.

When they collaborated on this movie, the two of them did a comprehensive analysis of the script.Tsui Hark, a guy who can introduce the concept of aliens in "New Shushan Swordsman", was even more creative when filming this movie.

Wu Xiaozu was also inspired by Tsui Hark.

This completes the style of the patchwork aesthetic of "Cell of Fear".

In other words, this play naturally has a postmodern aesthetic style, because patchwork aesthetics is one of the most important signs of postmodernism.

　Tomorrow... change the dressing and wait for the verdict. I don't think it's against the harmony to add a little pseudo-Cthulhu style to the world of "Chain Saw".In other words, if you analyze this movie carefully, it should also have a punk aesthetic (didn’t you think the torture equipment has a destructive aesthetic?).The post-modern style represented by patchwork aesthetics... The later generations are rotten.But at the time, it should be considered something new, right?
