Chapter 34: A Movie That Pioneered a Precedent
The original version of "Plan A" has a lot of plot problems, Li Ping'an has made modifications, although the costumes and props are a little rushed, but they are also much more refined than the original. Now Fang Shilong's body is at its peak, although he has not yet perfected his style, but through this cooperation with Li Ping'an, Li Ping'an is about to mature.
As soon as the film began, there was a whisper in the theater.
Zhang Che and Hu Jinquan, the two directors, looked at each other, "The lens is amazing, and the picture is also exquisite, I don't know who the photographer is?" Zhang Che whispered the question in his heart, originally he had some doubts about Li Ping'an, but now he found that he underestimated this young master.
"I heard that it was a descendant named Huang Yuetai, and Li Dashao asked for it by name. Hu Jinquan sighed in his heart that it is easy to grow old, and a generation of new people replaces the old.
The dialogue in the movie seems to the current Xiangjiang people to be very avant-garde, causing bursts of laughter from time to time, because there are English subtitles, so Hepburn and others also find it very funny.
"Let's talk about it the year before, you didn't even see Luo San Pao Island anywhere, so you let the wind blow over!"
"It's a day when you don't cooperate. ”
"What about last year? Didn't you say that you were going to go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and you would not be able to win? But you lost your way and ran to the Sahara, and everyone was so hungry that they were weak. How can this be explained?"
"It's because I'm not familiar with geography. ”
"You marine police have used up all the funds to fight pirates, so that our land police have not increased their salaries or bonuses in the past two years. Everyone blames me at the bottom, how can I stand it?"
"This is because your land police are not coordinated, and it has nothing to do with the marine police. ”
These dialogues allow moviegoers to fully appreciate the power of mouth cannons.
Under Li Ping'an's **, Fang Shilong has begun to learn to use the props around him to create funny situations in the tense martial arts process, which is humorous and exciting. At the beginning of the film, the scene of the water police and the land police fighting in the bar is crowded and not chaotic, each (so to speak, every pile of people) has a close-up, and each pile of people has its own characteristic fight scene. Of course, the protagonist is still the fight between Yuan Dart and Fang Shilong. The most unbearable thing for the audience is that the two of them each held a chair and smashed each other's backs, the chairs "dissolved", the two of them glared angrily, when they saw this for the first time, everyone in the audience thought this shot was weird, and then, both of them took a step back, hid behind the pillar and rubbed their backs violently, their expressions were painful, and laughter sounded in the theater, and the audience learned that their feelings were beaten very painfully, but they just didn't show weakness in front of their opponents.
"What should I do if I find an enemy?"
"Don't give in, don't back down. ”
"What should I do if I am injured in battle?"
"No meals, no pills. ”
"What if you're captured by pirates?"
"I'd rather die than be silent. ”
These lines in the film made MacLehose's eyes light up, and he felt that the Xiangjiang police should have such a demeanor.
Of course, some of the lines in the film are also thought-provoking.
For example, "Do you know the consequences of disobeying orders from your superiors?"
"I didn't know, but now I know. ”
"You are the one who receives the credit, and I am the one who deserves the disaster!"
"In this place, you can only do four kinds of people. Rich man I don't think I can do it. There are already too many poor people, and I don't want to do it. If I can't pass the police exam, what can I do if I don't become a thief?"
"I saved you again and again, and you hurt me again and again. For a friend like me, you can introduce one to me!"
In the last scene of the film, Li Ping'an made the fight refined, changed the previous humorous actions, and preferred actual combat.
"Zhou Yongling?"
"Lord Luo?"
"I can't imagine that a thief has become the owner of the island in the mouth of the Sven. Mr. Zhou, it's better to meet than to be famous. ”
"Don't dare, the owner of Suyang Island ......"
"Don't be the owner of the island, I'm the third. ”
"Third master. ”
"I'm Chinese New Year's Eve five today, but the wind and the sun are blowing, and I can't catch up with you." ”
"Third brother. ”
"Brother, no wonder you're so good!"
The dialogue between Fang Shilong and the pirate leader Luo Sanpao is quite a bit of a ridicule of office culture, which makes writers like Jin Yong unaware of it.
The film effect presented by the three brothers Fang Shilong, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Dart is perfect, which makes Zou Wenhuai, who watched the movie, regret it, before he just thought that Li Xiaolong alone was enough, but now he found that he seemed to have missed a lot of things, and he made up his mind to talk to Shao Yifu after going back.
"Plan A" definitely opens up a new plot mode for Xiangjiang films, whether it is the use of lenses or the portrayal of the plot, it makes the film and television practitioners in the audience think deeply.
The best part of the film is definitely the scene of Fang Shilong riding a bicycle in a narrow alley and chasing by a group of underworlds. Whenever there is a danger, the sexual dragon uses ingenious methods to resolve it.
For example, when the pursuers behind are in an emergency pursuit and pass by a certain door, they reach out and knock on the door with a "bang, bang, bang," but the car does not stop, and "who?" The upper half of the door opens in response, and the pursuers who follow closely behind immediately fall to the ground. The follow-up gangsters all fell into a heap, calling "Mom" for days. After there was a chasing soldier before there was no way out, seeing the front and rear two bicycles galloping and attacking, Jackie Chan was in a hurry, and the brakes were supported on the two walls respectively, and the person suddenly rose, and the bicycle was lifted, and the two gangsters who were running opposite each other fell to the ground. The whole process is tightly arranged, and the part of turning defeat into victory is so unpredictable but reasonable. The audience's nerves sometimes tense and clenched fists, sometimes relaxed and laughing.
Fang Shilong fell from the height of the bell tower This set of shots to the end made the audience exclaim in surprise, Xiangjiang has never seen such a "fatal" scene before, and even Li Xiaolong in the audience shouted "incredible".
At the end of the film, Li Ping'an specially edited all kinds of emergencies in the filming process, especially the jumping off the building, which was filmed by another camera, which attracted a round of applause.
Li Ping'an held the horn and only showed a tall back, and shouted at the sexual dragon holding the huge hour hand on the bell tower, "Can you jump or not!"
The close-up camera zoomed in, and Fang Shilong's face was sweating, "Big guy, are you sure you won't die?"
"No!" Li Ping'an's face was calm, "At most, it's just a cripple, but you don't have to be afraid, I've already bought insurance for you!"
The close-up shot was given to Fang Shilong again, and Fang Shilong looked helpless in the face of the black-bellied Li Ping'an, "Remember to tell my father that I love him!
Immediately after Fang Shilong fell from a high altitude, broke two sheets in a row and fell to the ground, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Dart hurriedly ran forward to help Fang Shilong up, Fang Shilong shouted in pain, "I finally believe that there is really gravity in this world!" After walking more than ten steps, Fang Shilong fell on the stretcher and was pulled away by an ambulance......
