My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 503 God of Gamblers Gao Jin, Revenge Begins
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
The condition of the entire gambling boat is miserable, and the scene is shocking.

With the help and cover of Liang Chaowei and Wu Zhenyu, Gao Jin keeps escaping from the pursuit on the gambling boat, and the fighting style here is even fiercer.The blasting special effects are not inferior to the Hollywood team, even better!In fact, Hong Kong movies have always had an advantage in action movies!

"Jump!!!"

Under the cover of Liang Chaowei, Gao Jin jumped straight down from the gambling boat tens of meters away!

boom!boom!boom!
Sparks soared behind him, and the gambling boat exploded!

The whole shot was done in one go.

"Wow! This shot is cool!" Sitting in the box, Big Nose looked at the shot, unbelievable.

He used to be the only one in Hong Kong who dared to jump this kind of scene.

Now, I didn't expect that in Wu Xiaozu's movie, there will be a more shocking scene than him jumping off the building.

The audience in the theater was stunned, their adrenaline was soaring, it was really thrilling.

It was extremely difficult to shoot this shot.

The two stuntmen are professional extreme athletes specially invited by Wu Xiaozu from abroad.

The next underwater scene refers to "Wolf Warrior 2".

Needless to say, underwater photography is difficult, but the amazing thing is not Zhou Runfa's stand-in, but the photographer who shoots them!

On the surface of the sea, the cruise ship's soaring flames reflected the entire sky, and the huge flames silenced the entire theater.

...

Gao Jin and Liang Chaowei lost their "swim".

On the sea, a lifeboat slowly approached. Liang Jiahui was wearing a gray suit, with a regular Clark Gable mustache slightly raised on his lips, and he was gently stroking the black dragon-shaped gemstone on his tie clip.

The old god was there holding a fishing rod and tapping the water to soak into a drenched chicken, holding a swimming ring and floating high.

"Dangdang...do I need to get you up?"

"Xu Yiqian?!" Gao Jin wiped a handful of water, gritted his teeth and looked at the other party.

"200 million dollars, I'll save you up."

Xu Yifan, played by Liang Jiahui, brushed off the sea water thrown up by the other party, his eyes brightened and he said, "It's 300 million now!"

"Good!" Gao Jin said.

"The apostles walked among the people to spread the gospel. I spread love for the Lord..." Liang Jiahui smiled and waved his hands, asking the subordinates to bring Gao Jin up.

"What's going on here?" Gao Jin looked at Xu Yiyuan, played by Liang Jiahui, in confusion.

"100 million!"

"it is good!"

"Someone pays you to disappear from this world, and at the same time, someone makes Mr. Hong too late to see you. Don't ask who I am, don't keep adding money... If you add money, I have a little clue."

Seeing Gao Jin raised his finger, Liang Jiahui continued without blushing and heartbeat: "The other party seems to be related to the nearest Middle East, and some people say that they just bought nuclear warheads through Mr. Hong...Don't look at me like that, you should Believe in my information. In short, there is a force targeting you!"

"why me?"

"300+100+100...500 million!"

Liang Jiahui smiled first, and then gave the other party a satellite phone, "It's better to settle the account first, and transfer it to my Swiss bank account."

Gao Jin answered the call without blinking his eyes. After Liang Jiahui checked and confirmed that his account had increased by 500 million, he smiled.

"Sorry, I don't know about this question... Shhh... You forgot, this is my site..."

Liang Jiahui raised his fingers, hissed, looked at Gao Jin who was subdued by the bodyguards, and shrugged, "But I can give you a message. Last night, someone offered 3000 million US dollars to buy your life! Now...don't look at it like this I."

He clapped his hands, sighed and regretted, "It's a pity that the validity was only last night, today you are worthless."

"Can you help me find Ah Chen?" Gao Jin looked at the sea, "If you live, you want to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses!" Turning his head, "100 million!"

"No problem!" Liang Jiahui nodded.

"Take me to San Francisco or Las Vegas!" Gao Jin suddenly became restless.

Explosives floated on the gloomy sea, making it extremely chaotic.

Gao Jin stood at the bow of the boat, the haze seemed to be engulfing him constantly.

Under the light and shadow, he was extremely lonely and thin at this moment.

Among the dark wind movies, the beginning of East Asian noir movies is considered by many to be the 1979 new wave movie "Mad Robbery" starring Zhao Yazhi in black stockings and red nails, and directed by Xu Anhua.

Early film noir was formed in Hollywood black and white films from 1940 to 1958.Later, in the 60s, a new noir-style film appeared in European films, known as film noir.

The drama "God of Gamblers: Start War Now" overturned the previously formed black style.

A higher attitude has been achieved.

This movie actually belonged to ordinary audiences and found it very refreshing, film critics were shocked when they watched it, and filmmakers saw an innovative work that revolutionized the perception of movies.

It can be very commercial because it has all the commercial elements.

Therefore, at this moment, the audience watched mesmerized.

It is actually very connotative, because there are various characters in it, and it also explores Gao Jin's mentality and discussions about people.

Of course, the beholder sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom on this point.

It is impossible for Wu Xiaozu himself to get too involved.

The movie started for more than ten minutes, with climaxes and climaxes. The audience all stared at the screen eagerly, reluctant to miss a frame and a second.

No urine spots throughout.

The rhythm of the movie is controlled like clouds and flowing water, and every point touches the audience's G department.

This kind of steady rhythm shocked Chen Kaige, Gong Li and other mainland filmmakers.Although they have seen a lot of big scenes of war scenes, it is not a problem to dispatch planes and tanks.But the shock created by Wu Xiaozu's destructive and violent aesthetics still haunts them.

This film may not be as high as "The Suspect" in terms of literature and art, but in terms of commerciality, it really broke through the shackles of Hong Kong films!

Comparable to Hollywood's top action movies.

Many film critics who have watched "First Blood 3" before secretly compare, the surprise release, whether the shit is too thick or too loose...

Wu Xiaozu taught Hollywood action film colleagues a good lesson!
Revolutionize the pace of action movies!This change is unknown!
As the youngest winner of the Palme d'Or in the history of the Cannes Film Festival, Wu Xiaozu's new film is not only aimed at the local market, but also the most important box office in other places.

Otherwise, with a box office of 2000 million, it will be difficult to recover the cost!

This explosion scene burned millions of funds!
Fortunately, the salaries of many actors have generally been reduced, otherwise the funds may not be enough!The explosion scenes of this drama are much improved than those of "Double Heroes".

This is the real big production! !

In the theater, countless people were speechless.

Compared with this kind of picture, "Police Story" is slightly insufficient. It has to wait until "Red Fan District" for Hong Kong films to really shoot this kind of big scene that can rival Hollywood!
At this time, this earth-shattering scene of bombing a ship, in the 80s, was compared to the shock that the later "Avatar" gave mainland audiences.

……

"Puff-"

The woman sinks into the deep blue water on her back, wearing a colorful long skirt on her body. The movement of the drowning struggle drives the skirt to shake, just like dancing in the water, full of the enchanting beauty of death.

The blisters he spit out were like crystal balls, reflecting the despair on his face.

The bright dance skirt is like a colorful palette on the drawing board, and the light through the water surface is hazy and dreamy.

It seems to be in the oil paintings of the Baroque period in the 17th century, colorful and romantic.

The sparkling water surface seems to have a majestic silhouette reflected in the water.

The camera and the light are getting colder and colder - until everything is reduced to nothingness.

Janet (Zhang Min) drowned bizarrely on the night when the gambling boat exploded. The body was disposed of and disappeared.The police in Las Vegas regarded Gao Jin as the first suspect.

Because the airport did not have Gao Jin's entry and exit certificate, and at the same time, all signs pointed to him.

……

On the rooftop, two figures fought side by side, surrounded by towering tall buildings, making this place a 'concave' shaped cage.

"If you want to leave Las Vegas, I can help you." Liang Jiahui turned his head and asked.

"Where is her grave?"

"San Francisco."

"I want to take a look."

"…………1."

Gao Jin rummaged through his pockets, took out a coin, and flicked it with a "ding".

He caught it with a top hat in his hand.Xu Yifan shrugged, picked up the coin, and put it in his trouser pocket.

Gao Jin stared at Liang Jiahui quietly, and said, "I want to know who they are."

Xu Yifan was not surprised by the other party's question, flipped his hands over and put on his top hat again, took a black umbrella with a silver dragon handle by his side, raised the corners of his mouth, and raised his chin.

"Heh~ That's a good question." Xu Yiwan restrained his smile, looked directly at the other party, and slowly shook his head, "Unfortunately, I don't know either."

"Don't know or don't want to say?" Gao Jin's masseter muscles tightened, his eyes were dangerous.

"Do you know that threatening an intelligence donor is a very idiotic act. Now there are people who have offered secret flowers on the black market outside. Although the US police are a bunch of idiots, Interpol is still looking for you."

Xu Yifan kept smiling, "Let's change the question."

"What's the key?"

"I only know that the key controls a 'Big Ivan'. Someone shipped at least three nuclear warheads from Ukraine to purify the Gulf. The key should be a serial number." Xu Yifan replied, and then looked at it with great interest. Looking at Gao Jin, laughing.

"Seriously, you might as well give me the key, you'll be safer."

"I don't know what the key is!" Gao Jin said angrily.

Now, Interpol and many people in the world's black market are looking for him, because everyone is sure that he has the 'key'.

But Gao Jin himself knew that he had no idea what the key was.

Now that I think about it, maybe Janet died because of the 'key'?

It was only then that he found out that the gambling boat was actually involved in a "shocking gambling game".

He didn't know the result of the bet until he returned to the United States: Israel dispatched planes to attack Beirut and the PLO guerrilla bases in southern Lebanon.

At the same time, the stakes included three nuclear warheads.Who knows where the 3 billion dollars went!That gamble was simply a game in which a group of lunatic arms dealers continued to promote the spread of world war for profit.

He showed up at the gambling table.

Win the bet!

His wife died, and Ah Chen's whereabouts were unknown, so he was recruited by the police to hunt him down...

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Yifan shrugged with a smile, "If you want to find those people, you might as well go to Korea and try."

……

It's raining heavily, San Francisco.

cemetery.The umbrella handle of a silver statue of the Western Dragon is displayed on the screen through a close-up shot.

The hand wearing the red gemstone ring holds this precious umbrella very steadily.

Liang Jiahui was wearing an exquisite suit and a blue overcoat, standing straight on the steps.

The other arm holds a black cat.

The cat nestled comfortably in the crook of its arms, and raised its head——the cat's strange pupils looked up into the distance.

Under the subjective lens, not far away, in the heavy rain, Gao Jin kneels in front of the tombstone, in a panic.

"The Lord loves the world."

Liang Jiahui turned and left, not looking at that decadent figure.

The scene design here is particularly in the style of traditional dark movies.The story structure of this play, Wu Xiaozu did not play tricks.

"The Birth of a Prefix" is also considered a film noir, but that play is an innovation in structure.

The reason why Wu Xiaozu is called the future film master by many film critics is not just a flash in the pan for a film, because each of his films is innovating, expanding wider possibilities for the film.

The dark baroque style of this drama is really amazing, or it is not a baroque style in the traditional sense, but a neo-baroque style similar to Luc Besson's later. At the same time, Wu Xiaozu added a lot of his own style in it.

But at the same time, this drama belongs to the typical drama structure.The beginning, progress, climax, and ending; the relationship between the characters and the development of the actions of the characters are all in line with the structure of Hollywood commercial films. If it were a different director, this movie might not be so exciting.

Because his storyline is not new.

It's just the 'broken' design in the middle that makes the film more suspenseful.

The audience is very curious, who wants to kill Gao Jin, who kills his wife and children at the same time, is Liang Jiahui a friend who is both righteous and evil?
This method of handling is not original to Wu Xiaozu, and later generations Nolan likes to have this kind of maze-like technique.

Today, Eastern and Western films have begun to slowly shift from simply pursuing artistic highs and lows to a balance between business and art.In this regard, Wu Xiaozu is expected to become the first teacher of many new generation film directors.

……

Black sewage seeps down the cracks in the stone road. On the graffiti-covered dirty wall next to it, the manhole cover covered with horny oil stains bursts upwards, and water drips down the rusty stairs next to it.

The light and shadow refracted by the low light source made the alley very dark and smoky.

Denim, plaid shirt, jeans.

Holding the brown paper bag full of French bread sticks, Gao Jin lowered his head and walked quickly across the stone slab.

Here begins the montage crossover.

He went back to his home in Los Angeles, missing every inch or... searching, during this period, he listened to "Let'S Stay Together" again, and left with a smile on his lips.

...

He could feel that he was being watched, so he kept using sadness and decadence to hide and cover up his emotions.In order to deceive the opponent, he needs to "paralyze" with the most authentic performance.

In this way, he can follow the tail and catch the opponent's trace.

In this period, Zhou Runfa dedicated a textbook-like performance method of a play within a play.

Then, with the sound of empty footsteps, the montage interspersed with the hero's complete decadence hit by the death of his wife and children - just a few minutes are the display of his decadence.

"Professor, we checked his address and followed him for more than half a year. He probably doesn't know where the key is..."

The man in black watched Gao Jin walk into the low-rent housing in a daze, and reported to the person opposite with his satellite phone.

"Okay, I'll try him again, and then I'll go to Korea to deal with it..."

The voice behind was inaudible, the man in black hung up the receiver, put on his black leather gloves, and walked towards Gao Jin's low-rent apartment——

"Crack squeak~"

The old-fashioned spiral wooden staircase is empty, only the sound of leather shoes stepping on the stairs can be heard.
