Reborn Hong Kong Wild Age

Chapter 34
"It's started, it's started."

With the lights of the movie theaters turned off, "If there is love in the sky" officially began its trial screening.

The logo of One Cool (one cool) is a simple and domineering three characters, with the world on the top and a horizontal line directly below it.

When President Gu's world develops rapidly in the future, Gu Xiayang will use it to borrow luck first.

The opening scene of the movie is the scene of Liu Dehua's drag racing. The locomotive hits the card and smashes the speedometer, which suddenly arouses the adrenaline of the audience.

Immediately afterwards, there was a collision with a police car and a robbery of a jewelry store. The explosion scenes followed one after another, firmly attracting the audience's attention.

"Andy Lau has been hiding in the snow for so long, and he seems to be more handsome after losing weight."

"Wow, Zhou Huimin is so beautiful!"

"The two seem to match each other inexplicably, hahahaha."

"This was filmed on Lantau Island, right?"

Huadi, played by Andy Lau, drove Jojo away from the right and wrong place. The burning car behind him exploded, flashing huge flames. Jojo hugged Huadi tightly because of fear.

When "Grey Tracks" sang "I have been burdened with regrets and regrets, but your eyes are full of tears at this moment, this world is unconsciously empty, don't go if you don't want to", it can't be more appropriate.

……

At this time, it is impossible to watch a movie without talking in theaters. Everyone is discussing the plot while watching the movie.

With the unfolding of the plot, everyone was soon immersed in the love between Hua Dee and JoJo, especially the scene where Hua Dee rode a motorcycle and smashed the window, and JoJo changed into a wedding dress, which was the most classic and affectionate scene.

When JoJo was kneeling in her wedding dress and praying with her eyes closed outside the church door, Huadi, who had a bleeding nose, pushed the road motorcycle away silently, and finally stepped on the accelerator on the slope at the church door.That bang of the engine is the most heartbreaking farewell you can hear under the moon.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomatic."

"It's so romantic and so sad."

For female audiences, such a plot is extremely resonant.

When we were young, we all loved prodigal sons, loved them indifferently, loved their ups and downs, loved their simplicity, even roughness, loved them who appeared in front of you without warning, and never turned back without saying goodbye.

Maybe that's not enough, you still love them as poor boys, love them to go to roadside stalls without sanitation permits, even if it's just a bowl of car noodles, it's so romantic.

Ah Hua in "If there is love in the sky", the prodigal son riding a motorcycle with a cigarette in his mouth.That prodigal son who is affectionate and righteous but can never turn back, how can people not like him.

In everyone's childhood memories, there seems to be such a love in a midsummer in a certain midsummer, just like the 17-year-old JOJO played by Zhou Huimin in the movie. A bit stubborn.

Their encounter was originally a thunderbolt, she was his hostage when he fled the scene of the robbery, and she risked her life in front of the gangsters to save the hero. This is probably the most heart-pounding encounter that many people can imagine. .

And JOJO also suffered from Stockholm Syndrome as quickly as possible, not only did not identify Ahua, but also quickly fell in love with him.Lying for him and fleeing at night, making soup and cleaning, even climbing on the roof of the car and racing with others regardless of the danger, all these things are things that this young lady has never done in her life. This is probably the power of love.

Everything is willing, no matter whether he is a policeman or a criminal, and no matter what kind of person he is with, everything about him and everything related to him is good, even the air around him is sweet.

However, the ending was unsatisfactory. A Hua died on his own rivers and lakes in the end, and JOJO dragged his wedding dress and ran wildly in the streets at midnight. Her prodigal son could never turn back.

Most of the female audience present couldn't help wiping away their tears, while the male audience were all looking forward to Liu Dehua's revenge.

"Kill Trumpet! Kill Trumpet!"

Soon in the cinema, many audience members stood up and shouted excitedly.Seeing Liu Dehua miss and being hit hard, he trembled with anger.

At that time, the villains in Hong Kong movies were either bad or absolutely bad, and they would never show any tolerance for decency. They were ruthless and merciless, and they always drove the protagonist to a dead end. Naturally, people hated him to the bone.

"Ahh—don't do it, Brother Hua!"

"Where is the director, the director stand up for me, do it, let Huadi come back to life for me!"

Even though Wu Mengda played the role of Taibao in the end, and successfully knocked the horn to the ground, but while the audience was relieved, they still didn't want Liu Dehua to give his life like this.

They hope that Huadi, who is loyal and affectionate, can get a good ending, and the female audience hopes that Huadi can have a happy love with jojo.

It's a pity that "If there is love in the sky" itself carries some fatalism, the prodigal son turns around, does he really turn his head?A memorable love, with a bit of regret, is even more unforgettable.

The creation of a sense of fate and the thorough expression of the duckweed-like fate of the little characters in "If there is love in the sky" are also one of the few things Du Qifeng appreciates about this vulgar love script. He himself is a director with a dark style.

Hong Kong movies, especially those classic Hong Kong movies, have one thing in common. They like to focus on the fate of small people who can’t control themselves and are like duckweeds. The movies often give people the hope of changing their fate against the sky, but in the end the protagonist still It is embarrassing to escape fate.

Such a strong dramatic conflict vividly interprets the film's great joy and great sorrow, making the audience deeply involved in the play.

Many Hong Kong movies of this period pay great attention to details. Although some beautiful clips in the film only occupy a small space, because of the real portrayal and the natural performance of the actors, you will be convinced that a certain corner of the world , there really are Huadi, Jojo and Taibao.

This sense of reality will make the audience be brought into the plot and empathize with the protagonist's experience.

Then, you will also feel pain when Huadi is beaten, and you will also feel good when Trumpet is killed.

Watching a movie is no longer like watching a fictional story, but more like witnessing something happen.

An excellent Hong Kong film will make you feel happy for the protagonist, but also feel sad for the protagonist. The most enjoyable thing is to deeply experience a soul-stirring feeling in this constant cycle of sorrow and joy, which makes people feel like a long time. Can't forget.

Of course, such a sense of reality and fate depends on the cooperation between the characters in the movie and the plot.

Just imagine, if it weren't for Wu Mengda's wonderful performance at the end, without the previous logical and coherent plot, without the sharp-edged character creation, without the repeated singing of the song "Dream Chaser in Mandarin" (Mandarin Dream Chaser), the ending is Taibao Will the scene of killing the trumpet still have such an appeal?
"Du sir, we, is this a success?"

On the second floor of the theater, Liu Dehua and the others heard many audiences clamoring to kill the screenwriter and director, to resurrect Huadi, to make him and jojo happy, and in the middle of watching the movie, the audience's cries and discussions, they looked at each other.

Du Qifeng took a deep breath and said: "The audience responded very strongly, and our box office will definitely not be bad when it is officially launched."

"There are a few places where I think we're going to go back and re-edit. Especially the staggered parts in the back."

Chen Musheng and Du Qifeng both wrote and drew with notebooks, and they kept communicating while watching the movie.

In fact, in the end Zhou Huimin ran desperately, Huazi slashed heroically, Zhou Huimin fell and got up again, Huazi was chopped down, but he was able to stand up and continue to hack and kill, finally, Huazi could no longer stand up, The white suit was covered with blood, and Zhou Huimin took off her high heels and ran barefoot.

This kind of interlacing of shots, when used, makes anyone feel extremely uncomfortable watching it. It is obviously an extremely vulgar movie, and even the ending is not difficult to guess, but it is full of tears.

"Du sir, you can adjust the details, but the whole is already very good. Simple love stories are often the most touching."

"Get ready, it's going to be a fire."

Gu Xiayang, who had been silent all this time, got up, patted Liu Dehua on the shoulder, and then blinked at Zhou Huimin.

"It's a pity that Brother Da is not here. Help me to congratulate him. He is the real prodigal son. His performance is excellent. If he is willing, Tianxia Yi Film Company can sign an artist contract with him."

"Okay, Master Gu."

Du Qifeng is also really impressed by his good friend who's "mud can't support the wall".If anyone is said to be the most dedicated to this shoot, it must be Wu Mengda.

"It is scheduled to be officially released next Friday, and the students will have time to watch it. Then I will arrange for the first day to give away some autographed posters of the magazine "Cool!" and the hero and heroine."

In fact, Gu Xiayang was a little worried at the beginning, but his own movie-watching experience and the feedback from the audience are the most direct.

Don't look at the current audience clamoring to kill the screenwriter and director. In fact, they all agree with this movie very much, and they have a deep sense of substitution, rather than deliberately insulting it because of the bad movie.

"Let's go, I'm still waiting to be scolded by them blocking the door."

"Hahaha, we are the only ones who will be scolded. At this time, Hua Zai and Xiao Min go out, and they probably like it very much."

After the midnight preview, everyone was in a good mood.Compared with Liu Dehua and other actors, Du Qifeng and Chen Musheng are the main creators behind the scenes and still need to go back to work overtime and make adjustments.

A midnight preview screening cannot decide everything, everyone is still under pressure.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, Hong Kong bird sage, my first play will be drawn next Friday, and I'm going to have a reception, come to join me then?"

"Mei Gu, I'm Gu Xiayang. Next Friday, I'll hold a premiere reception at the Pearl Theater in Causeway Bay. Yes, Pearl City Building. OK, it's settled."

The premiere of this period is to hold a reception before the painting. Whoever invites more stars and has a strong lineup also fully demonstrates your status in the circle and can better promote it.

At the beginning of the year, Yang Ziqiong acted as the heroine for the first time in "Royal Senior Sister". Not only did the two bosses, Hung Jinbao and Cen Jianxun, they brought Jiang Dawei, Xu Ke, Wu Yaohan and other friends to help out, and the entire Hong family's martial arts class performed martial arts. background.

Superstars such as Zhou Runfa, Anita Mui, Chen Baiqiang, Zhong Zhentao, Zhong Chuhong and other superstars were also invited to the premiere, and even the owner of Shaw Brothers, Shao Yifu, also came to congratulate in person.

Pan Disheng and Yang Ziqiong wore corsages and greeted the stars like their hosts.

Who can refuse such an offensive?

This is the platoon, Hong Jinbao's status in the world and Pan Disheng's business status, the publicity was in full swing at that time.

Of course, Gu Xiayang, Du Qifeng, and Little Tianxiayi did not have such an offensive, but Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui and others could still be invited through personal contacts, and then Zhou Huimin could invite friends from rookie singing competitions, and Liu Dehua could invite his wireless TVB friends, Plus "cool! "magazine is there, there are still some artists who are willing to participate.

"If there is love in the sky", the soldiers are ready to fight!
