Chapter 534: God of Gamblers, Dark Style (I)

PS: Ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a monthly pass!

On a dark and rainy night, on a winding road, a black Mercedes-Benz galloped into the painting.

Suddenly cornering, the red taillights flash.

In one transition, the camera is shifted overhead, showing the dark road ahead, the subjective shot of the car driving, and the relaxed orchestral music. The road receded rapidly, and in front of it was like a monster with a deep mouth open.

The wipers moved back and forth, and the rain slid down the glass.

A retro steering wheel made of mahogany wood and a pair of slender and delicate men's hands are close-up depicted.

Music gaps.

Holding a close-up camera to follow up slightly, the index finger and middle finger of the left hand are accompanied by music, easily and brightly following the rhythm of the classic 'three-pronged star' logo on the steering wheel.

The camera changes to the right side and shifts slightly upward.

Liang Chaowei, who was wearing a black jacket, was hanging a bandage in one hand, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and blowing a bubble in his mouth "pu"-

pia~

The camera pulls up, revealing the interior of the car.

Elegant retro mahogany wood decoration, extravagant interior, in the middle control panel of the car, the tape recorder's narrow black and white display board beats green and Tetris-like light notes, representing the bass.

On the co-pilot's leather seat, there is a black paper gift box quietly tied with a gold ribbon tied on it.

The back of the car.

A majestic man with a hard face, dressed in a hand-made high-end suit, sat with his legs crossed, half-leaning.

A simple silver wedding ring on the ring finger holds a Cohiba cigar in his hand.

Take a deep breath,

The cigar head glows red.

The smoke and light make the facial features of the men here very cleverly buried in the shadows, but a pair of eyes are exceptionally bright, revealing composure and calmness.

In the close-up of the eyes, the picture quietly and indifferently shifts the scene - the transformation of the non-temporal shot.

It's still a close-up of these black eyes, confident and domineering.

In the medium shot, a burly man in a suit with his back combed is standing in front of a mirror with his back to the viewer. The depth-of-field design in the mirror is interesting.

The adaptation of the focal length allows the audience's eyes to be fixed on the subject, ignoring the processing of the blurring of the depth of field behind it.

The camera pans.

A servant dressed in a baroque maid's costume crouched on the ground, carefully smoothing his trouser legs.

The walnut floor pattern is clearly visible, and the black leather shoes reflect the light. A quick glance at the style is enough to see the owner's taste.

"Brother Jin, tonight the Lisboa Casino opens, and Mr. Hong invites you to take the seat.

Specially presented 99 24k gold bars, indicating the meaning of your God of Gambling 99 Supreme!

In the mirror, the figure that had originally blurred behind him slowly became realistic, and Liang Chaowei's voice sounded.

Mirrors are often used skillfully in Wu Hsiao-zu's films, and he is also fascinated by the image effect created by them.

This artistic orientation is always between the three levels of reality, realism and surreality, similar to the complex relationship between id, ego and superego in Freud's theory.

At the same time, under the lens.

The mirror can well separate the light from the picture, so that the relationship between the characters can be presented at a glance. This kind of props that increase the variety of scenes and enrich the space are of great help to the film's sense of time and space.

In both Eastern and Western cultures, mirrors seem to portend ominousness and negativity. At the same time, it also symbolizes mystery.

The camera is positioned low.

It conforms to the characteristics of classical dark films, and with the painting style of low-light lighting, it is very characteristic of the black-and-white opposition between baroque art and stylistic ideas.

The light is dim.

The lighting is very elegant.

The low-angle light enhances the texture of the walnut floor, adding contrast to the picture, while the expansion of the mirror greatly helps the depth of field.

Zhou Yunfa stands in front of the mirror, the maid squats on the ground, and Liang Chaowei leans against the door, and the triangular composition makes the picture extraordinarily balanced.

Liang Chaowei, wearing a wide black leather jacket, stood behind him, leaning against the door.

One arm was in a cast and hung from the neck with gauze. The other hand picked out a piece of chocolate (brand close-up) from the candy box on the table next to him, stuffed it into his mouth, and smiled cynically.

"Mr. Hong respects Brother Jin very much!"

"Achen, Mr. Hong, that's just polite. ”

Zhou Yunfa (Gao Jin) turned around, his back was domineering, his eyes were hidden with tenderness, he squinted and smiled, and walked in front of Liang Chaowei, his fingers flashed quickly on the side of his mouth, extremely fast.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

Liang Chaowei chewed a few times, only to hear the sound of teeth colliding on the ground, and then realized that the chocolate that should have been put in his mouth had disappeared.

A look up.

I saw Zhou Yanfa stuffing chocolate in his mouth with his fingers, shrugging at him, tasting it in a big gulp, and at the same time flipping his hand, there was a small silver wine jug in his hand.

"Hey, Brother Jin, is there any reason?

You don't care about me when you drink, and you rob you when you eat chocolate......

I really don't know if my sister-in-law gave birth to a baby, do you have to rob them of chocolates. ”

"Baby doesn't eat chocolate......" Gao Jin smiled.

The dialogue between the two is very special, and at the same time, there are close-ups of 'grabbing chocolate' and "holding a wine jug", which is also a method commonly used by Wu Xiaozu to adjust the atmosphere in a long conversation.

There is a strong emphasis on form in his films.

The simple props allow the cynical image of Achen played by Liang Chaowei to show the audience, and at the same time contain a 'labyrinth of imagination', interweaving 'fracture' and 'penetration'.

Why did Liang Chaowei hold a hanging arm, and why did Gao Jin stop him from drinking and eating chocolate?

This kind of fractured question of the image will definitely exist in the audience's subconscious, of course, this does not affect the logical cause and effect of the film, and being good at setting clever foreshadowing is the "experience hypothesis" emphasized by Wu Xiaozu.

When the audience watches the movie, they know that what is happening on the screen is hypothetical, but the audience is still willing to devote themselves to it.

It's like walking a playground and walking through a maze, knowing that this maze can't trap them, and at the same time, they don't really want to get lost in the maze, just to feel the experience that they can't have in daily life.

Cinema is an audio-visual art, and in the theater, it is not just the eyes and ears, but the whole physical and mental experience. This also includes the involvement of the brain's subconscious.

This degree can't be tricky, otherwise you will lose most of the audience if you burn your brain......

In order to show their uniqueness and high quality, a small number of pretending to be B criminals are always keen to watch movies as a test of IQ, and Wu Xiaozu doesn't know where this comes from.

In later generations, a group of money-making big Vs who interpret movies are always accustomed to using "brain-burning" and "IQ 180 can't understand" as movie promotional slogans, which is pure nonsense.

You say it's a test of IQ, and there's no scientific basis for it.

You say that you are exalting art, but in the end, art must be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.

…

"Ah Jin, you are bullying Ah Chen again. ”

A gentle voice came - the lens here is very meaningful, and the layout of the framed lens is carried out.

Outside the door, Zhang Min smiled at the corner of his mouth, held his waist with his hand, and walked in with his bulging lower abdomen. The light was much warmer.

"You, you know how to bully Achen all day long-"

As he spoke, he walked over to Gao Jin's side. thoughtfully helped tidy up the collar, and then picked up the watch box brought by the maid, and personally selected a Rolex (close-up) to help Gao Jin put it on.

^13:13min13s^, it's interesting to freeze the time.

"There is no time at the casino, you remember to come back before Christmas. This is the first Christmas ...... for the three of us in Las Vegas," Zhang Min reminded softly.

"Don't worry, J. I won't forget you and our little baby myself!"

Gao Jin's eyes were gentle, and he gently kissed J's forehead with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then turned his eyes to the other party's bulging lower abdomen, slowly squatted down, kissed the other party's lower abdomen with doting, and hooked his fingers on the belly melon: "Little naughty, I'll come back to spend Christmas with you." ”

Standing up with a smile, he kissed the other party's cheek with a loving look in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled gently: "When I come back, I will accompany you well." ”

"Well, I forgot to bring it-"

J picked up a silver wedding ring with a simple 'J' engraved on it and helped Gao Jin put it on, and nodded with a smile.

Watching Gao Jin leave with complicated eyes, he didn't want the other party to see the worry in his eyes.

Ah Chen, played by Liang Chaowei, also smiled at his stomach: "Little gambler, uncle came back with Christmas gifts to send you." ”

He quickly took a piece of chocolate from the fructose box, put it in his mouth with one hand, and smiled proudly.

"Achen?"

Ah Chen chewed on the chocolate, turned his head, and looked at his sister-in-law.

"Take care of Brother Jin. J solemnly advised.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. ”

Achen nodded loyally, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Jin said sister-in-law, you like the almond cakes of Aomen the most, and let me send almond cakes to my sister-in-law first when I get to Aomen. Brother Jin...... Trouble you don't have to repeat...... Of course I remember, the one on Guanye Street!"

Ah Chen spread his hands helplessly, "You two really don't forget to feed me dog food all the time." ”

"Hehe..."

J, played by Zhang Min, shook his head in amusement.

"Go ahead. ”

The shutters of the window shone on Zhang Min's face.

The division is different in light and dark.

The smile gradually faded, and I watched the helicopter take off in the courtyard and fly in the direction of the airport.

The shadows cast by the blinds and the low position of the camera lens at the moment make the picture inexplicably a little sad.

Zhang Min's red lips were divided by the light, and the surface of the lake looked a little different.

Long eyelashes hang low.

Under the lens.

Her fingers ran lightly over her bulging lower abdomen, and the wedding ring engraved with 'J' glowed with a cold silver glow.

The camera pulls up, and in the corner of the table, a vintage vinyl record player plays "Lets Stay Together".

The song faintly runs through the shot just now.

Inside the box.

Xiang Sheng looked at Zhang Min on the screen with interest, and smiled appreciatively, "Wu Xiaozu's grasp of the texture of the movie is really sharp. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't force him, I really wanted him to pat you more......"

"Director Wu is very strict with films. Zhang Min stared at the beautiful self in the movie.

Under the light division, she looks like a Greek goddess in Western oil paintings, especially the display of the side face, which is indeed very standard.

"It doesn't matter, after this play, it will also have a good role in promoting your career. The theme of gambling movies seems to be promising, and I'm going to let people save a new book for you to play. Xiang 13 hooked the corners of his mouth and gently patted Zhang Min's thigh to show comfort.

Zhang Min smiled slightly, and his mind turned to the movie. Director Wu's voice and smile suddenly rose in his mind, and he always seemed to be so sincere and honest.

…………

The movie screen is dialed back from the memory.

"Brother Jin...... Brother Jin?"

Liang Chaowei, who was driving the car, tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, glanced at the rear mirror with a smile, and the contours of Gao Jin's face in the shadow of the back row also brightened.

"Spotting?"

"I just asked you, since my sister-in-law likes to eat macaroons, why don't you take that shop down. ”

Liang Chaowei repeated, cynically saying: "At most, it's only a few hundred thousand, sprinkle water." ”

"Good things should be cherished, too much at once, and liking them has become a burden. ”

Gao Jin looked at him deeply, shook his head and smiled, "Isn't that kind of life too boring?"

Mr. Hong once told me.

To be a man, you must know how to be satisfied.

Don't think about full possession of everything. A person's blessings are numbered, so don't use them all at once. The same is true for rice, six points full, enough. ”

"Why doesn't Mr. Hong kill the rest of the people with such great powers? Achen said with a smile.

"A table of good food is placed here, of course, you can't flip the table just because two flies are flying. ”

Gao Jin smiled confidently disapprehantly, "So, we're praying mantises, let's deal with these flies!"

"Praying mantis, mantis fist, mantis fist, haha......" Liang Chaowei let go of the steering wheel and gestured with a smile.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, the bright light in front of him was dazzling, and Gao Jin's voice sounded.

At the last moment.

Liang Chaowei suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the operation was like a tiger, and the whole car deviated in an S-shape back and forth, and finally pulled it back.

"Whew...... Scared the hell out of me.

Is it okay to drive in the wrong direction here?

I don't know that there are thousands of roads, safety first, driving is not standardized, and relatives are in tears?" Liang Chaowei sighed with palpitations, "Fortunately, I am known as Ah Jian's second~"

Gao Jin sat in the back row with a straight face, his eyes like a shuttle.

The atmosphere in the car is extremely solemn -

"Hahahaha......"

Suddenly, the two of them burst out laughing in unison.

…

The screen turns.

In a long Mercedes-Benz car passing by, a man in a black priest's button-down hoodie had his face hidden in his hat, and a smile was on the corner of his mouth, "He's Gao Jinxi?"

"Yes. ”

A burly man next to him leaned on the table, his voice high and snorting lazily.

"It's a pity...... priest laughed.

"Suck-why don't you go back and hit him now?"

The man played by Wan Zixuan raised his head with his nose, wiped the powder on his lips with his hand, took a few deep breaths, and his fingers stained with powder wantonly buckled into the mouth of the sexy girl next to him, very cruel and forceful, and his eyes were crazy, "Otherwise, use RPG, boom...... Absolutely clean, no ash left......"

"You've got a wit in your head. The priest continued to laugh, "There is no need for treatment, let's kill it." ”

"He said yes?"

Wan Zixuan asked a woman in a kimono next to her, and as she spoke, her hand stretched into the other party's chest, and she unscrupulously drummed-

"The doctor said - kill you. ”

The kimono woman played by Gali Oshima suddenly plunged a sharp dagger directly into the throat of the man played by Wan Zixuan, which was particularly abrupt and sudden!

"Wow!"

The people in the theater were shocked, this is also too neat!

"Ahh

The female killer played by Gary on Oshima is very skilled, all of them are deadly moves, full of visual impact. There is no Cheng Long-style juggling, and there is no hard bridge and hard horse in the 70s, it is that kind of ruthless move.

The action is a combination of Muay Thai and killer moves, and the display is very neat, and people can't help but have their adrenaline surge!

"Hehe~"

The priest slowly took off his hoodie and raised his head slightlyβ€”he looked exactly like Wan Zixuan, who had just died.

"This face is still a little unaccustomed~ Forget it, make do with it. Let's get started. ”

Wan Ziyu still maintained the same smile as the priest, his index and middle fingers curled slightly, and tapped the partition in front of him, "Go to the dock." ”

"I know. ”

The driver in the front row nodded slightly, raised his head, his eyes were ruthless, and it was Zhou Zhaolong who was taken care of by Wu Xiaozu at the beginning. In this play, Wu Xiaozu did give him a chance to play a thug next to a 'doctor', and there will be no shortage of action scenes.

ps: There will be a while, it may be a little later, I can't wait to see it tomorrow. /8_8288/
