PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a collection.

Invest in movies, for what?
Art?Forceful?feelings?Humanities?
Convex!
Wu Xiaozu scoffed, his idea at this time was to make money.

It's a vulgar idea, but it's very realistic.

There are dozens of mouths waiting to eat in Kwun Tong, and his brother's family needs him to support him.Maybe we can't do everything for others, and we can't learn to be saints;
However, within the scope of my ability, I will give an explanation to my former brothers, settle their families well, and give myself peace of mind.This is not a moral bondage, just a responsibility.

Call me a boss, and I promise you a lifetime of glory!
The brothers of the first generation are separated from life and death, and they can only do their best.This is Wu Xiaozu's idea.

40 new dramas to test the water and make money, which theme is the best to choose?
Later generations of large and small cost movies and online dramas have told us which theme is the fastest to make money!
horror film!horror film!horror film!
Flat chested.

The genre of thriller is very suitable for small bo... big.

At the same time, thrillers can quickly delineate the audience and win the box office.

As for what type-

Zombie movie?Sorry, without Uncle Nine, zombie movies are just zombie movies.After all, Hong Kong Island does not have the zombie soil of "The Walking Dead", "Zombie Play", "Dawn of the Living Dead", and "Planet of Terror".Most importantly, no money!
Ghost movie?The demand for makeup and stunts is too high, and the cost is not enough!You can't have a makeup assistant who can only do bridal makeup doing the styling or art direction work.

Stream of consciousness thriller?Hehe, this thing is easy to become a popular science movie if you don't play it well - the training manual for brain-dead directors.In any case, countless directors of later generations have threw themselves on this road.

So the question is, what else is there in addition to the thriller?
If you ask this question, you must have not seen "Silence of the Lambs", "The Chainsaw", "Human Char Siu Bao" and "Dish Xian", "Pen Xian", "Wan Xian", "Panzi Xian" that popularize the knowledge of shame ...

Wu Xiaozu chose an original adaptation of a real case that shocked the whole of Hong Kong in the 80s.

Named: "Rainy Night Butcher".

The script mainly talks about the "human dismemberment case" that caused a sensation in Xiangjiang in the same year he was imprisoned.

He was deeply impressed by this case, which shocked the entire Hong Kong Island at that time.It can be said that no one knows no one knows.

Taxi driver Lin Guoyun brutally mutilated four female passengers in a row, first killing them, then committing murder, and finally brutally dismembering them.

This case caused a sensation in 82, and Hong Kong Governor MacLehose personally interrogated it.So much so that people on Hong Kong Island "talk about forest color change".After the case came to light, the taxi industry suffered a huge - repercussions, and many taxi drivers tragically lost their jobs.

The transaction volume of the license plate exchange fell like an n-shaped line, and the Hong Kong Island Taxi Chamber of Commerce had to cooperate with the competent authorities to issue a number of policies to ease the impact.

A person influences an industry!
On February 1982, 2, according to a citizen's report, the police found a dismembered female head and two arms in the Shing Mun River.After investigation, it was verified that it was Chen Xiaolan, the dancer of the Starry Nightclub.

The cruelty of the method and the horror of the crime made the Hong Kong police feel under pressure.At the same time, this cruel murderer did not stop committing crimes.No one knows, this is just the prelude to the serial corpse case!

On May 5, the scavengers called the police, and the police dispatched.Another dismembered female head and stump were found in the rubbish heap, and it was identified as Chen Yunyun, a 29-year-old married night shift cashier at a convenience store.

On June 6, tourists found another case of a woman's fragmented body killed by the same brutal method in the park woods. At the same time, they found the body under the stone mound in the park. .

On July 7, Xie Huixin, a female student who had just attended the banquet, disappeared and her family called the police. Her body was found by the police the next day.The body was dismembered, and at the same time there was a major breakthrough in the case. The police found that there were small tadpoles in the dismembered body.

So far, four similar cases of serial homicide and dismemberment were brought to the public, which immediately caused a huge social panic, and the pressure on the police increased sharply, unable to do anything.

The murderer's brutal methods and dismemberment have caused huge obstacles to solving the case.What is even more frightening is that the interval between crimes is getting shorter and shorter, which also proves that the murderer is more and more reckless.

The Hong Kong Governor and the Commissioner of Police had to frequently come forward to comfort the terrified citizens, and even issued a "military order" to the police force.But all this did not ease the tension, and the torrent of terror continued to spread.Many companies cancel the night shift work of female employees, and even many Fengjie on Bolan Street have not introduced it, which is evident.

When the police were at a loss for the case, a photo studio employee in Wanchai found a photo of a woman being dismembered while developing photos, and hurriedly called the police.Let the murderer of the serial murder case, the taxi driver Lin Guoyun, appear in the police's sight.After investigation and evidence collection, the police confirmed that the taxi driver was the murderer of the crazy corpse case, and immediately dispatched police to arrest him.This made the sensational serial corpse dismemberment case announced.

During the process of investigation and evidence collection, the police were shocked to find a large number of dismembered photos and videos taken by the murderer.The investigators vomited while collecting evidence, and the whole scene was appalling.

Back then, the case, which the newspapers feared was called "Rainy Night Crazy", really had a huge impact.

It even pushed the traffic control department, the security bureau and the police force to issue the latest taxi management bill. It took a long time for the taxi industry in Hong Kong to recover.

This case has the elements needed to be adapted into a film.

It is a case of serial murder and dismemberment that has caused a sensation in Hong Kong.There is social communication, gimmicks, and topicality.

Cruel, perverted, thriller, pornography and other edge elements are enough to attract attention.

At the same time, the investment in adapting this event into "The Butcher in the Rainy Night" will not be very high, with box office expectations and selling points.

In the past life, this serial corpse case has been adapted into TV unit dramas, TV series, movies and comics many times.

Such as "The Butcher in the Foggy Night of Hong Kong Mystery Cases", "No. 2 Imperial Court", "The Record of Atonement [-]", "Confidential Archives Lin Guoyun", "Hong Kong Mysterious Cases Record".
Even Wong Ka Kui, the lead singer of Hong Kong Island's hall-level rock band BEYOND, created a song "Dead Romance (part2)" in order to explore the thinking process and abstraction of death of "The Perverted Maniac Lin Guoyun".

Among them, the most famous is "Hong Kong Mysterious Case: Doctor Lamb", which was filmed by Universal Pictures in the early 90s, starring Ren Dahua and Li Xiuyi.

However, Wu Xiaozu never thought of plagiarizing this film.In addition to showing off the horror blood and pornography, that movie can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

In his opinion, although the horror movies are mainly bloody and pornographic, they are challenging for the actors' acting skills.

Most of these films are adaptations of real cases, and the audience has a preconceived impression.This requires the director to give the film new eye-catching elements.Otherwise, why go into the cinema to watch a movie, it is better to find out the video data of that year and understand it.

In the script of "The Butcher in a Rainy Night", Wu Xiaozu gave Lin Guoyun more elements to sublimate this perverted character.

Every movie will have his acting tone.Gentle enough, crazy enough, and perverted enough, this is the keynote of Lin Guoyun's character in Wu Xiaozu's play.

Under the tone of the characters, begin to plump up the characters.This taxi driver must be very low-key on weekdays, Sven, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. 】

He will be a devout believer of Jesus, so he is used to holding a "Bible" on weekdays.Believe that all living beings are lambs and God is the shepherd.

He also has some cleanliness, so he often wears a white handkerchief.The taxi must be clean.He likes to wear a white shirt, black trousers, and white socks.Have a cleanliness like obsessive-compulsive disorder!

In the next few days, Wu Xiaozu immersed himself in writing the script while perfecting his shooting plan.

As for the sub-lens script, it can only be written after the scene is surveyed.Terrain, light, and climate all affect the camera position and lens, so the sub-shot script generally needs to be surveyed and then studied according to the actual situation.

The choice of a male protagonist is doomed to the success or failure of the film.

Is it?

Wu Xiaozu touched his chin.With the ability to guide dozens of peripherals, it is estimated that it is almost.

Director Wu thought deeply for a second and decided to recruit a good actor. As far as he knew, there was an actor who needed to be rescued by himself.

　PS: Tickets are required to watch the movie, and the ticket check time is up.Serious face: Check the ticket!Picking up tickets... begging for tickets... running around with a face.
