Chapter 898 The cult cheats for cult fans
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.

Many people don't know that Liang Chaowei is able to create such a melancholy and full of vicissitudes of life.

In this life, he is just the little red guy who combed his hair for 3 minutes in "Days of Being Wild".The lighting is dim and ambiguous, and the tone is full, but he has never really entered the hearts of movie fans.

Before that, he was affirmed by many film critics. His performance in "The Story of the Bump", "The People's Hero" and "Killer Butterfly Dream" is not bad, otherwise he would not be nominated for the Academy Award... But if How well said, how memorable, how eye-catching?

No.

His popularity in the film industry at this time is 5 Wufly brothers behind Liu Dehua.

But when he first appeared in "Dark Flower".

This desolate and melancholy temperament really caught the eyes of many people.This is a kind of temperament similar to: always wanting to save him from the sea of ​​suffering but unconsciously sinking in his introversion.

The performance of the whole person is delicate and restrained, and the small details of the face are shown on the big screen, even those who don't know how to act can feel his details.Especially a pair of eyes.

In the movie, he and Hua Ge, played by Ren Dahua, stand by the seawall with bright headlights.

The shadows are mottled, and there is the sound of a siren behind him.

The dark sea reflected the glare of the fishing boats in the distance, and there were mosquitoes flying in front of the headlights, two of which stood out the most.

"I've let the word out that you didn't have a trick to kill George."

"What's the matter again? Killing is still like this." Ren Dahua's eyes were wary, "Anyone wants such a huge sum of 500 million."

"Will George direct and act?"

"I'm talking to him, he won't ask for trouble like this. I think it's Mr. Hung—"

"Mr. Hong?"

The camera was pushed directly in front of Liang Chaowei's eyes, and the sensitivity and contempt in his eyes could be seen.

'Anything can be resolved tomorrow night, so why worry about Hong? ' At this time, Liang Chaowei's voice-over sounded in the movie.

'What kind of evil can an old thing who hasn't been back to Macau for more than 10 years do?If he is really so great, I really want to see him..." The voice-over sounded in his heart, Liang Chaowei brushed off the mosquitoes attracted by the headlights with his hand, and slapped the two most vicious buzzing mosquitoes to death...

Looking at the bloody mosquitoes on the palm of his hand, he suddenly heard Brother Hua say to him, "Take care of Arong, I'm afraid he will cause trouble. Everything is over tonight..."

Patting him on the shoulder brought him back to his senses.

The actor's so-called acting skills are nothing but the accurate recognition of our emotions in life.

In fact, Wu Xiaozu hated the word 'explosion' very much.

The announcement of the explosion of acting skills has been rotten in later generations. It feels like singing, showing off your skills with high pitch, but it doesn't necessarily make you appreciate the beauty of the song.The same goes for acting... Excessive force is not considered good acting.

In the movie "Dark Flowers", Wu Xiaozu designed the character characteristics for Liang Chaowei to be "struggling" and "dire water".

His handling of facial details is very accurate.

As the protagonist, the appearance of Ah Chen played by Liang Chaowei has attracted the attention of countless movie fans. This character has a strong sense of contradiction.

When the other Yaodong played by Liu Qingyun came on stage, he was equally brilliant.

On the minibus hanging left and right, with light but weird music, the surrounding picture changed from the darkness just now, but the whole scene was 'overexposed', and a bald head with blood-colored flower tattoos appeared in the picture.

The minibus stops at the gas station.

Vendors were selling groceries by the car windows, shouting continuously.

"How much?"

The camera pans to the vendor holding a bouncy ball in his pallet.

"4 mosquitoes."

"Dead mosquito?"

The camera is slightly raised, and the subjective lens is used to look at the windshield. Not far away, the driver of the minibus is smiling and chatting with the girl at the gas station. In the mirror, Liu Qingyun shows her true face for the first time. The most conspicuous thing is that she is as plain as water eyes.

Chuck, the minibus started.

Yaodong, played by Liu Qingyun, is playing with a bouncy ball in his hand, and the surrounding environment is still overexposed, making it look particularly grotesque.

The picture changes gradually, and he is walking in the smoky aisle of the small hotel with a fishing bag in his hand.

The tortoise with a flowery shirt on the phone, the gorgeous Fengjie, and the eight-two gold with teeth piercing bugs all appear exaggerated under the wide-angle lens, giving the viewer a sense of confusion and unreality.

Suddenly someone bumped into him.

The camera tilted up, and when it was pulled back, Yaodong was walking in the hallway with a grandmother stepping on the wooden floor.

The camera panned, the room was brightly lit, and Yaodong looked around.

"How long will you stay?"

"one night"

"What do you want? Miss?"

"No more."

Yaodong took out the money and handed it to the other party, his eyes skipped the house number '404', fixed on the phone on the table, and dialed a series of numbers casually.

"Boss King, I'm Yaodong. Tonight's boat is on time at 4 o'clock. It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, as long as you recognize my money. In short, you have to show up on time after receiving my money..."

The light hits the face, dividing yin and yang.

hang up the phone.

As soon as he could see the worn-out bag he was carrying, he put it on the bed, pulled over a quilt and covered himself with the bag.

A bag is like a person.

……

The sign of Sullivan's restaurant flashed, and Yaodong chose a seat with the best view.

Shallow hair stubble was buried on the table, revealing a hideous scar.

The layers of light and shadow are very distinct, and the shadows on the cheeks and eyes are sunken, presenting a mysterious picture effect.

The 'spurs' on the heel tap the chair leg lightly.

The locations in the restaurant are very scattered, Yaodong chose a location where he could see everything, and at the same time, his gaze was fixed on the red rotary telephone.

The restaurant door was flung open.

A large amount of exposure suddenly makes the picture in the whole shot look very harsh.

It happened to hit Liu Qingyun through the mirror. This kind of expression technique is often used on the stage of drama.

Wu Xiaozu also borrowed it from the movie.

In terms of structure and lighting, the whole play actually borrowed many stage-based processing methods.

At the same time, if you look closely, you can also see that it borrowed from "Red Dead Redemption" or more accurately, the screen design of Kurosawa's "Yin Heart Stick".

Both of these can be regarded as the famous "plagiarism case" in the history of film. After "A Fistful of Love" was released, it was no surprise that Akira Kurosawa received a complaint from Akira Kurosawa. After winning the lawsuit, Akira Kurosawa received 15% of the film's global box office profits. And distribution rights in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea... I was also invited to be the screenwriter of "A Fistful of Dollars", and then turned around to promote the classics of this drama.

It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with master chasing money...

Of course Wu Xiaozu will not be boring to shoot the so-called chivalrous spirit or western spirit.

In the movie, Ah Chen leads his men to deal with the fake killer who took the dark flowers after hearing the news. Yaodong eats in the restaurant as usual, and the bloody fight in front of him does not affect Yaodong's eating and phone calls.

This scene made many loyal fans smile knowingly.

This is too Wu Xiaozu.

Now they are sure that this movie is not a so-called debt of favor at all... or that the producer does not work... This is a movie that is completely instilled with Wu Xiaozu's style.

The darkness, paradox, fatalism, strong contrast and black humor in the style are very prominent.

Not to mention the choice of light and camera position on the movie.

That kind of angry camera shooting.

For example, when Yaodong was eating alone, the camera in the screen actually changed several positions to shoot without knowing it. If you don’t observe the camera’s perspective carefully, you won’t notice the director’s point of view. Be careful.

Especially when the two protagonists met for the first time like fate, it made many people excited.

It seems to have seen "The Birth of a Prefix", "The Chamber of Fear" and "Rainy Night Butcher", full of eclectic use of exaggeration.

And very pioneering experiment.

Especially the arbitrariness of the camera is clearly the style of "The Birth of a Prefix".

Many cult fans of the cult school have fallen into it at this time.
