After leaving the hospital, Wei Xiong came to the film company, and when he walked into Fan Wei's office under the leadership of the front desk, Wu Yusen had already arrived.
After casually releasing a few polite sentences, Wei Xiong cut to the chase: "I heard Ah Wei say that the film was edited last night, how do you feel?"
Wu Yusen's mood was obviously good, and the smile made his already small eyes almost squint together: "I feel guaranteed that this is definitely the best movie I have made in so many years, and there must be nothing to say in terms of quality, and the rest depends on whether the audience buys it or not." ”
"Hehe, I also watched it, it's really good, the subject matter is novel, and the shooting technique is very different from previous movies, it should be welcome. Fan Wei on the side also smiled and agreed, although Fan Wei's appearance has not changed much, his temperament has changed a lot.
The student spirit that has just left the campus is gradually being replaced by maturity and stability, if he is allowed to go to the interview again now, there will definitely be no more nervous speechless situation, this is the result of the experience: "I called Miss Fang just now and told me about the completion of the editing. ”
Unexpectedly, she called back after a while and said that Uncle Sixth knew that "The True Color of Heroes" was very interested after the production was completed, and she also wanted to watch the finished film first. ”
If it weren't for Fang Yihua's insistence on concentrating all resources on TVB, Shaw Brothers might still be operating now, as evidenced by the fact that he leased Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers cinemas to Pan Disheng instead of selling them. ”
Wei Xiong smiled faintly, and then pondered for a moment: "Since Shao Yifu is so interested, I won't watch it here, I'll go with you, I haven't seen his old man for a long time, it seems good to watch a movie together, Yu Sen will go over together if he has nothing to do." ”
……
More than half an hour later, Wei Xiong and an employee in charge of carrying the tape came to TVB together, and under the leadership of the staff, Wei Xiong and the three walked directly into a screening room, and the staff in charge of handling followed another staff member to prepare for the broadcast.
The scale of this screening room is not small, but the layout is very luxurious, the seats are all large high-end sofas, and all other facilities are also complete, and the three of them will be served coffee and some small snacks soon after they sit down. Needless to say, this is mostly a screening room dedicated to Shaw Yifu.
After five or six minutes, a middle-aged woman walked in with a thin but energetic old man, and Wei Xiong immediately got up to greet him: "Hehe, Shibo is really old and strong, it should have been almost ten years since I saw you last time, and you are still so energetic." ”
At about ten years old, Wei Xiong had met Shao Yifu once, when he was still in elementary school, if he remembered correctly, he should have come to seek medical treatment, and he had heard Lin Xueli say that Wei Hongdao and Shao Yifu had a good relationship, so he could only pose as a junior at this time.
"I didn't expect that little hairy boy to become a popular singer all over Asia, and he also cooperated with me to make a movie together. ”
The two shook hands, only to see Shao Yifu look Wei Xiong up and down with cloudy old eyes, and then said with a smile on his face: "It's much more handsome than what I saw in the newspaper, and he's so talented, it's really good, Brother Wei should be happy to have an outstanding son like you." ”
Wei Xiong smiled, and didn't say that Wei Hongdao was an old stubborn, and the two were still in the Cold War, but diverted the topic: "I heard Ah Wei say that Shibo wants to watch "The True Color of Heroes", and it just so happens that I haven't seen the finished film yet, so I came over together, and by the way, I discussed the release of the film." ”
"I heard from the assistant director who participated in the filming that this film was very good. When it comes to the assistant director, Shao Yifu's eyes reveal a meaningful taste, but by the end of the filming, more than half of the people involved in TVB filming have been poached.
Wei Xiong noticed the strangeness in Shao Yifu's expression, but he just didn't see it, and said with a smile: "How it is, you will know after seeing it." ”
"Looking forward to it. Shao Yifu smiled faintly, and then sat down on the sofa in the center of the front row first, Fang Yihua sat on the right, Wei Xiong followed and sat on the left, and the others also found their own seats to sit down. After a while, all the lights in the screening room went out.
Immediately after that, a beam of light shot on the screen in front of it, and the first one that appeared was a Peking Opera mask, with 'Wei's Film Co., Ltd.' written under the face.
Obviously, this Peking Opera mask is the logo of Webster's Film Company. Later, the 'SB' Shaw logo, which is familiar to Hong Kong people, appeared......
The duration of the whole film is about 95 minutes, which is basically the same as Wei Xiong's memory of "The True Colors of Heroes" except for some details, there is no doubt that "The True Colors of Heroes" is a pure male drama, and the storyline revolves around Song Zihao, Song Zijie and Mark.
The film's huge success is not because of the story itself, but because of the clever handling of the plot, such as Mark's action of lighting a cigarette with a dollar bill, which is bound to become a classic, and the aesthetic treatment of the shootout, which makes the film more enjoyable.
In addition, it highlights the distinctive personality traits of the three male protagonists and the complex and profound emotional entanglements between the three. The first is Song Zihao.
He is a big brother who has withdrawn from the underworld, and his strong feelings are intertwined with real life, and he is righteous to his friends, affectionate to his relatives, and dare to hate his enemies. What people mean by heroic heroes is this kind of person, right? And Di Yan just interprets this kind of heroic spirit just right.
Secondly, Song Zijie is his ideal stage - the Royal Hong Kong Police Force on the one hand, and his relatives - his brother on the other.
Because of his brother's relationship, he has been looked down upon in life and work, but the illusory stage, the helpless life, and in the end, all that remains is the family affection that blood is thicker than water, so he finally chose his brother and handed the gun to his brother.
Finally, there is Mark, a typical emotional person, this kind of person mixed in the underworld, destined to die, but his feelings are not burdened, he is very happy, when he still sends grenades to those who have no feelings, when he uses the rifle to shoot bullets into their bodies....... He's really happy...... Until the last moment of his life, his feelings were so pure......
When the song at the end sounded, applause suddenly rang out in the screening room, including Wei Xiong's, Fang Yihua's, and Shao Yifu's......
