Chapter 421: The Sword Goes Sideways
The movie started soon, Wu Hengjiang stopped thinking nonsense, and began to watch the movie with full attention.
The opening was a series of solemn and terrifying images of Buddha statues, and an eerie atmosphere permeated with a strange musical accompaniment.
"The most important of the eight hells is called the Infernal Hell, which means to suffer great suffering without interruption, hence its name. ”
Well, that's where the title "Infernal Affairs" comes from!
Wu Hengjiang also has a little understanding of similar folk culture, and when he sees such information presented at the beginning, he can't help but be more curious about the content of the film.
In fact, as an industry insider, some other friends who have participated in the "Infernal Affairs" viewing party have already revealed to him that this is indeed a very exciting and good-looking film, but Wu Hengjiang didn't pay too much attention to it because he had too many things to worry about before, so until now, he still knows very little about the specific content of "Infernal Affairs".
That's fine, at least now he has a sense of novelty.
At this time, the screen changed faces, and Brother Chen, played by Fan Weide, was worshipping Buddha.
First, there was a shot from the back, Brother Chen raised his hands high, and then slowly put it down and turned around.
I have to say that Brother Chen played by Fan Weide is still very aura, although he is not tall and his figure is a little fat, but when he stands there, his eyes sweep and he speaks, and he naturally has such a bad spirit.
Very bossy!
……
"The fortune teller said that I was 'a great success', but I disagree, I think that what comes out of the mix, whether it is life or death to decide by yourself, you follow me for the shortest time, the cleanest foundation, how to go let you choose your own way. ”
"Well, I wish you all the best at the police department!"
……
The opening is such a few simple sentences and some flashback shots to explain the background story clearly, in fact, if you think about it carefully, there are many things that have not been explained clearly, but because the character of Brother Chen stood up as soon as he appeared, giving people a deep sense of convincing, so the next plot naturally continued to unfold.
To put it simply, the plot is supported by the characters.
It is actually very risky to use this technique at the beginning of the movie, because once the expressiveness of the characters is insufficient, it is easy for the audience to have a suspicious mentality, and the whole film will be very uncomfortable to watch next.
But fortunately, Fan Weide successfully supported the role of Brother Chen, and people are willing to continue to watch the story with the character's ideas.
This is called convincing, because of the charisma of the characters!
Wu Hengjiang, as a figure who has been in the film and television industry for many years, can see through the tone of this film at a glance, but he also has to admire Chen Feng's courage, he dares to do this, which shows that he is really confident.
Obviously, the other viewers present are also very interested in the opening of the movie, and many people are looking forward to the follow-up plot.
After just a few shots, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming met for the first time in the audio store.
As soon as Liu Jianming appeared on the stage, the fans and viewers at the scene suddenly exclaimed.
"Wow, that's handsome!"
Indeed, Lin Zhehua's appearance in a suit and leather shoes is really handsome and handsome, and he can fascinate countless fans and audiences with his face.
And when Chen Hui also stood up from the corner, there was another commotion among the fans.
"Wow, this one is handsome, too!"
Chen Hui and Liu Jianming, the two protagonists met for the first time within a few minutes of the opening.
Wu Hengjiang watched the two men acting in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, amazing, really powerful, such two handsome male protagonists are playing with each other, everyone should be addicted to watching it.
Although it is obvious that Liu Jianming's acting skills are a little worse, it is actually harmless, the so-called difference is just compared with Chen Hui, on the whole, the two of them acted well.
When the two of them sat together and listened to Zhang Yiwen's slow singing of "Forgotten Time", many people suddenly felt that this picture was inexplicably endowed with a unique meaning.
As for what the meaning is, everyone can't say clearly, but they can vaguely feel it.
As a result, the plot becomes even more intriguing!
As the plot of the movie progressed, Wu Hengjiang's heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Unlike other fans who only focus on the movie itself, Wu Hengjiang has been comparing this movie with the film market he knows.
He was surprised to find that this "Infernal Affairs" film is different from most of the current films, both in terms of narrative rhythm and shooting techniques, it has a very unique temperament, which is very attractive.
Just like Chen Feng's first movie "Crazy Stone", that unique and special feeling gives people a very strong impression.
It seems that the two films made by Chen Feng should not belong to this world at all.
This made Wu Hengjiang feel a little terrible.
If one is like this, it may be a coincidence, but if two movies are like this in a row, then the problem may really lie with Chen Feng.
Wu Hengjiang tried hard to suppress the curiosity in his heart and continued to watch the movie.
At this time, the movie was playing a very tense plot, Chen Yongren secretly followed Liu Jianming in the video hall, and the two seemed to be about to face each other.
Although this scene is not long, it brings out the tense and exciting atmosphere to the extreme, especially the soundtrack, the continuous and gradually passionate melody makes everyone's heartbeat beat together.
It's a pity that the two didn't meet in the end.
This tense plot is over, and all the audience in the theater are relieved.
Wu Hengjiang's heart turned over the river again.
There are no action scenes, no big scenes, just two actors plus a soundtrack, which can make all the audience breathless.
This kind of movie plot rhythm is really terrible.
……
However, it didn't take long for Chen Yongren's reunion scene with his ex-girlfriend to make Wu Hengjiang and all the fans feel sorry again.
If you follow the general movie routine, this kind of scene of seeing your ex-girlfriend again can set off and render a long relationship scene, but in "Infernal Affairs", it only took a short time to finish this scene, and even many people felt a little unfinished, and then everything came to an abrupt end.
But in such a short period of time, the role of Chen Yongren has become more three-dimensional, and at the same time, his sense of tragic fate has become stronger.
"Mommy, I'm six years old!"
As soon as the little girl's line came out, many people immediately figured out what was going on.
But then seeing Chen Yongren turn around and walk away alone, many people felt extremely heartache.
……
Even Wu Hengjiang, an old fritter who is in the shopping mall, can't help but feel sad for the role of Chen Yongren when he sees this.
Then he came to his senses again and sighed again at the magical shots and narrative rhythm of the movie "Infernal Affairs".
In this movie, all the plot and lens language seem to be serving the portrayal of the characters, and the role of Chen Yongren is also played by Chen Hui very well.
At this moment, it seems that everything else is not too important, and the audience is most concerned about the fate of the character of Chen Yongren!
There are characters who support the whole film, this method of making movies, in this world, is really too far off!
