"When Alpasi wore a trench coat and sunglasses and nervously chanted 'Hallelujah' in the church, I was completely conquered by him!" An NV movie Mí who has watched "The Face of the Two" said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

She is not the only one who has been downcast by Al Paxi, Diana Keaton, who just became an Oscar-winning actress half a year ago, publicly stated that she is a good friend of Al Paxi, but she has never seen him feel as much as in the film.

"Four years ago, I passed by King Zachary at the Golden Globe Awards, and he was a very gentlemanly Oriental. I have to admit that Wang is a genius director, and a few years ago's "Ghost Love" made me cry in the film industry, but this time "Two Heroes" made me shocked again and again between crying and laughing. It's too bāng, and Wang has created a new screen image for Al Paxi. Al and Jack's performances in the film are very impressive, they are amazing actors. Diana Keaton said.

Since the premiere of "The Face of the Heroes" in 50 theaters across the United States, audiences who have watched the movie have invariably given praise, and many people have even directly compared it with "Superman". The subsequent release was full on the first day, and the excited theater operators arranged to increase the canvas.

"Superman? Do you mean that alien who wears inside and outside? No, I prefer King Zachary's "Changing Face", I've never seen such a creative action movie, oh, the perfect combination of Chinese kung fu and Hollywood commercial action blockbusters. ”

"It's so bāng, I never knew that guns could be played like this. I now come home from work every day to train myself in marksmanship, and it's an art that you can never understand if you weren't someone who loves firearms. ”

"This is the fourth time I've watched "The Faces of the Heroes", and every time I watch it, I have a different feeling, whether it is the picture or the lines, I can't find any flaws, not even the goofs."

In the face of the audience's interview feedback, "Variety", which has never dumped Wang Zijun very much, also had to admit: "With an investment of $55 million, "Superman" is the best movie for Christmas, and some people say that no commercial film can surpass it this Christmas." Yes, Superman does that. But just after Christmas, the Chinese director's "Two Heroes" slapped "Superman" hard. According to reliable data, after the release of "The Face of the Heroes", "Superman", which has been popular for more than half a month, has seen its average attendance rate drop from 92% to 76%.

There is no doubt that these lost audiences have basically walked into the screening hall of "The Face of the Heroes". Less than a week after its release, major theaters in North America have twice added the screen canvas of "The Face of the Heroes". Although the cinema operators had arranged enough screening rooms at the beginning, they obviously underestimated the popularity of "The Face of the Two......"

The Hollywood Reporter, another Hollywood entertainment publication with the same name as Variety, said with regret and ridicule: "If I were Frank, the manager of D&T Films, I would have fired all the guys in the distribution department." The box office results of "The Face Snatcher" actually started to be released a week after Christmas, missing the most bāng movie schedule at Christmas, which is a lot of money. ”

In the following month, the box office of "The Faces of the Heroes" rose like a rocket, breaking $10 million in the first week and $13 million in the second week, bringing the total box office in North America to $120 million in one month.

This box office data shocked everyone, and the box office of "Hot Làngzi" ("Grease") in the summer of 1978 was one million more than "The Faces of the Heroes" in the first week, but the box office growth rate of "The Faces of the Heroes" was too terrifying.

As for "Superman", it has been completely overwhelmed by "The Face-Taker", and under the influence of "The Face-Taker", it has been released for a month and a half, and the total box office of this $5,500 blockbuster has not yet exceeded 100 million. …,

"Two Heroes with Faces" is like a whirlwind set off on New Year's Day, blowing so that Americans can't distinguish between southeast and northwest.

Compared with John Woo's version, Wang Zijun does not have the computer special effects technology of later generations, and it is bound to be incomparable in some places, but in the processing of other details and pictures, Wang Zijun strives to make up for it, and there is not much difference between the two.

The same movie, released twenty years in advance, brought Hollywood an indescribable shock.

Film critic Carl published his own review in a film magazine: "It's an unspeakable film, it has all the elements of a successful commercial film, it's handsome, it's cool, whether it's the explosions, the fights, the shootouts, all the props that have it, it's a dizzying feeling."

At the same time, some small details prepared by the director in the film make the film sublimated. The film uses the incredible 'face swapping' to create characters who are inseparable from good and evil, love and hate, and adds an intriguing connotation to the theme of opposing right and wrong......

The music written by King Zachary himself in the film that stuck out to me was that during the shootout between the police and the bandits, Al put on headphones for the child. Although the music is not long, the rhythm is slow, lyrical, warm and warm, with the jī lie jiāo fire at that time. Under the deliberate action of King Zachary, the film suddenly ceased to be gunfired, and existed in an inexplicable artistic conception of self-enjoyment......

The film uses a wealth of cinematic means and expressions to show a special action scene, which makes the film appear an unprecedented shocking effect. And from the perspective of innovation and development, the long-standing genre of action movies has reached an unprecedented height in terms of visual effects, and a new style has also been formed in emotional expression. In the film, you can still see the windbreaker blowing in the wind, and the fire splashed during the shootout in the parking shed is as beautiful and brilliant as smoke. The shootout at Sasha's house is so unusual in the large number of sports shots, the child puts on headphones, and the music makes people feel like they are in the opera house. In front of the two-way mirror, the confrontation between Al and Jack is a classic. angrily pulls the trigger and shoots at "yourself" in the mirror, and the inner contradictions and struggles of the two protagonists collectively erupt at this moment......

In the final church showdown, the white dove and God witnessed a screen classic. There is also the bullet that rolls in mid-air, and time stands still, bringing people an unprecedented visual shock...... In general, King Zakary transforms all the violent scenes into an art that presents them to the audience, bringing us a thrilling beauty. According to King Zachary, this kind of cruel art is called the aesthetics of violence. ”

Wang Zijun's old friend, film critic Steve, analyzed it from another angle: ""The Face of the Heroes" is a very peculiar movie. King Zakley's film style has always been uncertain, but this "Two Heroes" made me see his return to cinematic techniques. Six years ago, I saw Wang's film for the first time in Cannes, and it was a war film, where surreal bloody shots were combined with a very jīng artistic approach, and I became his film all at once.

Six years later, when "The Faces of the Heroes" reappeared, I had the same familiar feeling. However, King Zachary's path in film art has gone further and matured, and the expression of images such as explosions and speeding cars in the film has reached a peak.

It is worth mentioning that the film takes place 20 years later, and the various high-tech props in the film are eye-catching, and after watching the movie, I always have a feeling that the future should be like this.

I consulted with a professor at Harvard who is also an electronics engineer and said he was amazed by The Bloody Two. In the words of the professor, King Zachary is a scientific genius, and many of the high-tech products depicted in the film have entered the preliminary stage of research and development in reality. King Zakary is a scientific prophet......"...,

As soon as the film reviews of the two came out, Wang Zijun suddenly had the nicknames of "Master of Violent Aesthetics" and "Director of Scientific Language" in the United States.

And the term "aesthetics of violence" has officially entered the field of film art.

In the New Year of 1979, "The Face of the Two" not only attracted countless ordinary audiences into theaters, but almost all commercial film directors in Hollywood set their sights on this film. Because of the many techniques of this movie, it has opened up a big mén of action movies for them.

USC's film school has produced countless film masters.

In the first class of the new semester, Professor Bōlis, who was teaching, brought his students into the small screening room.

"I'm going to show you a great movie!" Bōris asked the assistant teacher to turn on the projector.

In between, the students whispered about which film Bōlis was going to show.

"Jim, which movie do you think the professor will show?"

"Who knows? Bōris has shown us a lot of 'great movies'. ”

"I guess 'Rocky', last time the professor said that the movie was very bāng."

"No, 'Rocky' isn't great, I guess it's Chaplin's movie."

“……”

As the students were discussing, the screen on the wall lit up and the sound of the tiger roaring dragon yín reminded the students that it was a D&T film company.

"Oh, Xite, it's actually "The Face Snatcher"!"

"Hell, this great movie is actually a new film that is still being released......"

The students were noisy, but they didn't react to jī.

In fact, the teachers of the USC Film School instilled in their students the idea that the box office comes first, and the film techniques they usually teach students are how to increase the box office. Of course, the box office is not everything, and the value of the USC Film School is that it also teaches students that while getting a high box office, the movie should also win an Oscar.

"The Face of the Heroes" is also called well, which is naturally in line with the film concept of USC.

"Everyone has seen this movie, then let's analyze it directly!" Bōris said that watching a film is much more complicated for film students than sitting in a movie theater and watching a film. Bōlis then begins to analyze almost frame by frame, from the picture to the music, and the most talked about is the "aesthetics of violence".

"I always tell you that when you make a film, you have to think about both the market and the art," Bōris said. And this "Two Heroes", the director from China has applied this concept to the extreme. In a recent interview, King Zachary proposed the term 'aesthetics of violence', although it is not recognized by all filmmakers, but as far as I am concerned, I very much agree with it. It poetizes the traditional scenes of violence, and transforms the scenes that should be cruel into a dance and an opera...... I dare to responsibly say that King Zachary has ushered in a new era of action movies! ”

Bōlis was teaching his students, and "The Faces of the Two" was also smashing in North America.

The huge sensation caused by "The Face Snatcher" in the United States has already caused many films released during the Christmas period to face the doom of early drawing. The fame of the two male protagonists, Al Pasi and Jack Nicholson, skyrocketed, and their shadow numbers grew exponentially.

Ann Margreet, the Golden Globe Award-winning actress, also because of her appearance in "The Face of the Heroes", her image of being violent and sometimes gentle and loving at that time was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and she completed a gorgeous transformation from a song and dance, art film actor to an action actor.

Not only did Ammargrethe continue to receive film appointments, but Evelyn, a middle-aged NV actor who had long since retired from the screen, suddenly regained her second cūn. And her son Buddy Foster and NV Connie Foster have greatly increased their exposure because they played the two male protagonists' NV and younger brother respectively. Coupled with the genius young NV Jodie Foster, The Hollywood Reporter jokingly called them a family of stars. …,

Not only that, but even the little actor who played Sasha's son in the film suddenly became the darling of the media.

As soon as "The Face of the Heroes" came out, all the main actors in it were greatly increased, and Mr. Schwarzenegger, who hung up halfway through the film, has now received an appointment for the lead role in an action movie.

As the director of this movie, Wang Zijun, even the media that used to speak sourly, now he doesn't dare to say that his movies are bad, at most he just glorifies violence and teaches bad children.

Anyway, Hollywood has a rating system, and these reasons are.

Faced with such a situation, Time magazine finally couldn't sit still, and directly approached Mén to give Wang Zijun an exclusive interview and invited him to be the cover character of the next issue of Time magazine.

Wang Zijun, who received the news, was very happy, because the cover character of the year selected by Time Magazine not long ago was Mr. Deng, the designer from the mainland, and the two were very close.

The community has a normal power supply this afternoon, and the power was basically cut off every two or three hours for the first two days, and it was cut off not long after the call came, and I don't know what the power bureau is doing. Fortunately, the weather in Urumqi is not hot, otherwise I would have the heart to smash the power bureau.

In addition, let's talk about the Olympic Games, this Olympics seems to have become a joke, and the face of the British Empire is so clearly presented to the world. And the badminton federation, which wants to commercialize itself, for more competitions, more advertising, mén ticket income, and turns the knockout round into a group stage. The self-inflicted rule leakage dòng, and actually ended up complaining on the athletes, can this be a little more shameless? Why haven't I heard of a player being disqualified in a football or basketball game?
