Dim lights, shaking.

Through the shadows and brightness generated by the swinging lights, the characters on the screen are scheduled to appear one by one.The light flickered, the light source was concentrated in one place, and the other three sides were slightly dim.The use of this light is the first time that a Chinese film appears!
Liu Qingyun was the first to appear in the camera.The light flickered, and the expression on his face was particularly eye-catching through the light.A few simple actions made the audience feel his "worry".

Combined with the fortune-telling pictures seen before, many viewers guessed that the fortune-telling should not be optimistic.

The lights flickered again, and Gu Tianle, Li Zhaoji, Zu Liyao, Luo Dong, and Wu Zhenyu appeared one by one. Finally, Feicheng grabbed the shaking chandelier, the light source stabilized, and the whole scene suddenly became clear.

Seven people are sitting or standing, and they skillfully pull out a "confrontation" space picture.

The prismatic composition, with everyone facing each other sideways, has a mysterious "sense of ritual".

The movie Emperor Kurosawa is best at creating a sense of ceremony.In later generations, Spielberg's films have a lot of ceremonial atmosphere, and there are traces of imitating Kurosawa Akira.

Liang Gahui suddenly found that with the development of the film, his master Li Hanxiang gradually turned serious from cynicism.The old man leaned forward and sat up straight.Stretching his head forward, his eyes stared straight at the screen, unable to bear to miss a frame.

"Does this sense of ceremony look like Hu Jinquan? No..."

Li Hanxiang suddenly said to himself, "In this group play, the pictures and characters are expressed through the scheduling of light and shadow, sublimating a faint sense of ceremony. This clip reminds me of Kurosawa Akira's "Seven Samurai" and Hu Jinquan's "Chivalry" That bamboo forest scene in "The Girl"...Jin Quan is just tasting it..."

scare!
Liang Gahui looked at the screen in surprise.

It's not the first time he's seen this drama.I used to think this scene was just terrifying.Now it seems that Wu Xiaozu not only used the light to schedule the picture, but also the attention of the characters and the audience by the way.

In addition, this scene is actually creating a sense of ceremony... In other words, this is really the director Wu Xiaocui that I know?In a trance, he still remembered that Wu Xiaozu had rubbed three bowls of rice in his house last night...

Touch the Jian brand cigarettes in the left pocket, and touch the Marlboro in the right pocket.Liang Gahui felt that he should change his cigarettes back to a new level.Maybe Wu Xiaocuo is proud of rubbing himself today, and maybe he will be proud of rubbing Wu Xiaocuo tomorrow?
According to Master Li Hanxiang, should this movie go to the Cannes Film Festival?Then on to Berlin, then on to Venice...  

For a moment, he regretted that he didn't dissuade Wu Xiaozu from giving up his immediate interests, and went to Europe for a lap... If he didn't make it, would he buy a schoolbag and come back with a gold trophy?

Is it possible to change the actor of the Academy Award?

Oscar looks good...

A good actor with a lot of inner drama.Liang Gahui interprets what is called an actor at this moment!
……

"Clap--"

Liu Weiqiang, who was the owner of the tea restaurant, patted the radio that made the sound of "Swish...".

"I swear to go, enter the mountain of knives, be brave, and pass a thousand gates;
Unlimited pride, manly pride;
Hell also comes and goes alone,
Deliberately enter the tiger and leopard den,

When are you going to…”

With seven people filling the screen, this kind of group play is cool in itself.Wu Xiaozu also chose a cool song - "Oath to Enter the Mountain of Knives".

uh...original!
The strong small drum beat, matched with Wu Xiaozu's deep voice, was released through an inconspicuous little recorder in the ice room.When paired with seven people's "million dollar business", the audience has a unique black humor when watching it.

Black humor is not new on Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong Island Ghost Horse Comedy itself is a manifestation of black humor.However, the dark humor of "The Birth of a Prefix" is much more advanced.The audience looked at the seven unreliable people and listened to such a heroic song, with a unique sense of IQ superiority.

"This young man who fought with you at the beginning is quite talented. In a group scene, seven characters were shot in different colors, panic, exaggeration, indifference, very interesting..."

The short-haired woman sitting in the back row teased her boyfriend, the skinny fairy, next to her, "No wonder we were able to grab more than 1000 million box office from us."

Tsui Hark looked at the panorama camera in front of him, looked at the picture, and suddenly said, "Happy, angry, worried, thinking, sad, scared, shocked?" The words seemed to be questioning, but the expression was clear and determined.

Shi Nansheng also looked at the seven people on the screen when she heard the words, this time she didn't care to talk to Tsui Hark.The film clearly contains a lot of ambition from the director.

Ordinary audience: cool station, cool lines.

The IQ Leading Audience: A Comedy of the Absurd.

Film critic: Akira Kurosawa?Space scheduling?light contrast?Hidden human nature?
Everyone can see what they want to see from this movie.Wu Xiaozu is very chicken thief.If he just plays with long takes and connotations, I'm afraid this movie will make him vomit blood.

Jiang Wen said: I made money by standing.

Wu Xiaozu did not have such a consciousness.If he can make money, he can lie on the ground.

Of course, Wu Xiaozu has a bottom line... It seems that he has... Anyway, his bottom line is only a little lower, such a long distance: 1-∞-1
Therefore, this film must make the majority of the audience have a sense of IQ superiority after seeing it.However, it is necessary to ensure that the IQ of the entire movie is online, so that the audience will have a faint sense of accomplishment when watching it.

If you watch "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Terrorist Cruise", you will have a sense of IQ superiority.

Do you still have a sense of IQ superiority after watching "Pen Xian" and "Little Times"?

At least you can't insult the audience with movies, right?Watching a movie and going out to become a second-class disability?moron!
Don't die!
……

The movie moves fast and the pace is right.

Along with the song "Oath to Enter the Mountain of Knives", which Wu Xiaozu had copied, the six of them dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Liu Qingyun standing at the table with a confused expression on his face.

"Ha ha……"

Many viewers laughed when they saw this.This kind of comedy effect is not "funny" like Xu Guanwen, nor is it vulgar shit.This is a comedy effect determined by the audience's sense of judgment extended from their psychology after a strong contrast is given to the audience.

Some people say that the core of comedy is tragedy!Later, many people regarded this sentence as the golden rule.

That's because, after the characters in your film are torn and smashed, what the audience sees is actually the tragedy of the characters in the play, which is the origin of comedy.The reason for this comedic effect is because of the contrast between the audience and the characters in the play, resulting in a sense of superiority.

Hegel said: Comedy comes from contradiction

Wu Xiaozu created an absurd humorous effect through this contradiction.

Whether the core of comedy is tragedy, Wu Xiaozu does not know or agrees completely.He only believes that whether it is a comedy film or a tragic film, the core should be life.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu's consciousness is higher than Zhou Xingxing.Except for the money!
The movie continues, and soon comes the scene where seven people take a bath.

black!
Up!
thin

pit!
White!
hard!
肥！
As soon as the seven kinds of butts appeared, the audience burst into laughter!If the one just now is the effect of the difference caused by the comparison, then this is really a naked sarcasm.

"The buttocks of the seven people all explain the connotation of each character! This is the director's discussion of the human nature of the film!"

A newspaper columnist film critic, Fang Paulo, a "big V" in the 80s, seriously wrote down this obscure remark in this book.

He is excited and proud at the moment!
The New Wave is not dead!
The real standard bearer of the New Wave on Hong Kong Island has appeared!
Xu Anhua and Yan Hao bowed to the capital, Xu Ke and Tan Jiaming kneeled.Fang Yuping had a dystocia!

At the moment when their "real" filmmakers and critics are heartbroken and about to die in tears, a work of genius and creativity is born.

At this moment, his eyes are wet!
Why are there tears in my eyes, just because of my deep love for movies.This is a portrait of their group of "big V".

Looking at the back of the young director not far away, he, and them, found a new flag!
"What a director with artistic pursuits! Get lost and find your way back!"

Lu Yanhua doesn't have the kind of "worry for the country and the people" like his friend Fang Paulo, she just thinks that this movie is "rewarding both the refined and the popular"!
"It's a good movie, you should hold it more." A man next to him with a slightly feminine temperament sighed.

Lu Yanhua smiled and shook the strong man's hand that held her close friend.Knowing that she has raised her love for talent again.

With his friend "valued", Director Wu basically drew key symbols on the hearts of "senior filmmakers on Hong Kong Island".

A Kang (zuo) village (si) avenue was placed in front of Wu Xiaozu - a road to death with literary and artistic tricks.

"Capital is a good thing, and commercial films are also a trend. But there must be some people on Hong Kong Island who can make real art." It (he/she) smiled.

Can An Neng identify me as a male and female?
Lu Yanhua knew what she said, but the meaning in her words was clear: Capital must not rape him!

Countless film critics with unique aesthetic vision who "worry about the country and the people" stood behind Wu Xiaozu at this moment.

Forgot to mention, the jury of the Academy Awards: composed of senior filmmakers from Hong Kong Island!
Director Wu didn't know how many people behind him were thinking about him!Fortunately, he is not good at picking up soap...

Uh, Wu Xiaozu is recklessly touching a woman's thigh—

Wu Xiaozu has no self-consciousness as an "artistic director" at all. He is currently discussing the box office of this movie with Jiang Zhiqiang on the other floor, and by the way, he is discussing the marketing plan of the theater, as well as the arrangement of healthy living in the evening!

"Five?" Jiang Zhiqiang winked.

"Three!" Wu Xiaozu pretentiously postponed.

"Four!" Jiang Zhiqiang stretched out four fingers righteously, "You can't delay any longer!"

"Actually..." Wu Xiaozu nodded and accepted it reluctantly.

When the movie was released, Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Xiaozu were talking about buying a car.
