Chapter 290 was born

It was because of Yishu's report that reporters suddenly desperately wanted to know who took the name "Mong Kok Carmen". [Full text reading] (hand-typed novel) Lu Yan is filming "Rock and Roll Youth" at the University of Hong Kong, so naturally he will not accept such a 'boring' interview. And Wong Kar-wai, as the director of "Mong Kok Carmen", has even less time. In addition to paying attention to the trend of the movie box office, he is also studying the script of "Rock and Roll Youth".

Because on the day of the finale, he personally promised Lu Yan to be one of the co-directors of "Rock and Roll Youth".

I don't know what the reason is, reporters seem to be more inclined to the connotation of "Mong Kok Carmen", the title should come from Lu Yan's handwriting. However, the staff of "Mong Kok Carmen" who were interviewed revealed that the entire movie was led by Wong Kar-wai. The title of "Mong Kok Carmen" should also be finalized by Wong Kar-wai himself

As Yishu's film reviews began to appear, reports from other film critics naturally followed. In fact, a good film released during this time period, "Mong Kok Carmen" seems to be a standout.

At this point, both New Art City and Golden Harvest have indeed miscalculated. In their opinion, "Mong Kok Carmen" should be the escort of "The Saint of Gambling". That's just what they think. Even outside media reporters thought so at the beginning. After all, the gimmick of "The Saint of Gamblers" is the sequel to "God of Gamblers".

The appearance of "God of Gamblers" made the outside world stunned. The speed at which the box office began to rise made everyone unanimously think that it was going to break through "The True Color of Heroes".

Although the work "The Saint of Gambling" is all starred by all the members, even the director Liu Zhenwei is unknown. But since it is a sequel to "God of Gamblers", everyone is unanimously looking forward to this work.

But I never imagined that "Mong Kok Carmen" would be unanimously recognized by film critics

Wong Kar-wai's Declaration

Clean, solemn. It's a very neat lens language. It seems to be very common in the movie "Carmen in Mong Kok". Overlapping and layered spatial and pure throw-away dodges abound. From the screenwriter and director, Wong Kar-wai's accident has become the biggest surprise of Hong Kong films.

It wasn't until this moment that I began to be more curious about Lu Yan.

All along, Lu Yan has appeared as Bole. But the popularity of Chow Yun-fat, Dillon, Leslie Cheung, and Wang Zuxian can only prove that he is indeed very talented as a director. A good work with good actors excavates the best acting skills. In this regard, Lu Yan undoubtedly did a very good job.

But when it comes to using the director, I'm very curious. Wong Kar-wai, the editor of the new art city who was fired by Huang Baiming at the beginning, suddenly shines brightly when he arrives in Dongcheng

Did he already have such strength, or did Lu Yan really have a way to turn decay into magic?

Wong Kar-wai lived up to Lu Yan's expectations. "Mong Kok Carmen" officially became the declaration of the new director. His strength, although not as bright as Lu Yan. But this work is enough to be praised.

The sense of fatalism and the hardest struggle of "Mong Kok Carmen", but in the end, everything can only return. It seems that fate is predestined, and there is no escape.

When Dehua was finally shot and fell to the ground, his pupils contracted and his body was convulsing. I wondered what it would have been that flashing in front of his eyes. is the mask on Wang Zuxian's face when he first arrived, or the child he has never met and his girlfriend who has been married to **.

In my opinion, his ex-girlfriend Mabel is fate, and his cousin A'e is his ultimate struggle.

Kowloon is rivers and lakes, and Lantau Island is a safe haven. How many times did Andy Lau say that he would return to Lantau Island, but he finally died at gunpoint in Kowloon.

When Andy Lau went to Wang Zuxian for the first time, it looked more like he was stimulated to find a replacement. Wang Zuxian was waiting, and Andy Lau's appearance undoubtedly completely defeated her.

People who are used to living a life in the rivers and lakes will always like some occasional calm. In my opinion, Lantau Island may be the happiest and easiest life of Andy Lau's life.

Putting aside the most common head horse, the story of a second-tier boss and a second-tier horse boy, plus a pure girl, maybe that's all there is to this movie. The ferocious Wan Ziliang became cannon fodder for love, and Wan Ziliang's subordinates became victims of impulsive and irrational love. When they threw the phone and money back to Wan Ziliang, I began to sigh at Wong Kar-wai's imagination as a screenwriter. In a way, such behavior is impossible.

Of course, this takes advantage of people's prayers and yearning for love and righteousness, and maybe no one will pick a bone in the egg. It is simply because of sympathy for the weak and disgust and resistance to the most vicious that we tend to lose our rationality and accept something that is contrary to our rationality.

We can rightly say that this is the rivers and lakes. Sometimes, though, it seems a bit weak.

Following "The True Color of Heroes", Wong Kar-wai embarked on another path of gangster films. But it is undeniable that many scenes in "The True Color of Heroes" are used similarly in his films. Maybe it's because of photography, it's all about Christopher Doyle. Or, the movie was originally arranged according to the style of "The True Color of Heroes......

None of this is clear to us. But undeniable, Wong Kar-wai's manifesto. is already telling the Hong Kong film industry that he has been born

"Screenwriters are better than directors"

I may be more concerned about Wong Kar-wai as a screenwriter than Wong Kar-wai as a director. For Wong Kar-wai, this film came by chance, and for me too. In any case, in my opinion, Wong Kar-wai is still a pure screenwriter rather than a director.

Jacky Cheung's fate was not to stand on the side of the road and sell fish balls, so in the end, he took the settling-in fee and died for it; Andy Lau's fate is love, so even if what he likes may be to accompany Wang Zuxian shopping on Lantau Island, carrying things, watching Wang Zuxian drink soda and swagger across the street, but in the end he can only return to Kowloon and take a gun to complete the mission that his brother did not complete.

I'm thinking, then what is Wang Zuxian's fate. Like that Mabel, pretend to forget, and marry that doctor? Maybe in romantic movies, women and emotions can always only be put second, or last. Or in Wong Kar-wai's eyes, A'e's fate has found the answer in Mabel's image, so there is no need to make unnecessary explanations.

It's just that Mabel has awakened, gradually awakening over the course of six years; A'e's time has not passed, and no one knows. Emotions may not need answers. Andy Lau's love seems so selfish and unstable. Always going around announcing that I have no future. But I love you, and I remember you. But who can refuse a man like him? Even if his love came so selfishly. I love you, but I can never promise you.

It doesn't matter if you buy bone-setting medicine, the most important thing is to be careful and come back early. It looks more like a little woman's obsessive watch and self-deceptive prayer. Everyone knows that someone has never come back.

Mabel's desire to say goodbye is the same. Men are always invincible male animals, and women seem to be restlessly watching for their return in the corner. Jianghu Road, the battle will never end. In fact, there are some parts of this movie that still seem a bit pretentious. For example, in that paragraph, Andy Lau single-handedly picked the billiard ball Boshen and his entourage, what I want to say is that the cat looks innocent. Perhaps just to show their cruelty and tyranny, the cat was used as a prop.

I wonder if cats should be a must-have tool. Perhaps, Wong Kar-wai is better to be the kind of director who writes scripts while filming, and he is not very suitable to be a pure screenwriter. Similar to this kind of emotional and cumbersome plot, I hope there will not be too many of them in his future films.

Wong Kar-wai's appearance amazed everyone's eyes. Jianghu Road, the beginning.

The movie begins with a man who doesn't plan to get up during the day, a messy room and a messy bed. A visit from a strange woman, and then, the movie begins.

Is this kind of story often being played out?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

From the day of the premiere of "Mong Kok Carmen", the occupancy rate of many cinemas under Dongcheng Imaging was less than 60%, and there were long queues to buy tickets to watch it.

It took only one day.

An excellent work, as long as there is a company supporting it. Then it will basically not be buried.

So, it's just a day. The word-of-mouth of "Carmen in Mong Kok" began to spread. Many viewers who don't pay attention to this work have also bought tickets in the hope of solving their doubts.

It is precisely because the form of "Mong Kok Carmen" has begun to be very good, and many film critics who have not gone to watch "Mong Kok Carmen" have also gone to watch it and began to publish film reviews.

After watching it, the critics were suddenly surprised that they almost missed an excellent work

………………………………

"My friend watched "Carmen in Mong Kok" and said it was very good, huh?"

"I thought it was a romance movie, they said that if the gangster movie had known, I wouldn't have given the tickets to the premiere to my friends in the first place"

"Dude, you're stupid"

"Now there are such long queues, it seems that this is the case in several movie theaters in Kowloon. It's hard to buy tickets."

………………………………

The audience in line was full of discussions.

Some people are because their friends have gone to watch this "Mong Kok Carmen". And some people suddenly had an idea because they saw that many newspapers and magazines were full of film reviews of "Carmen in Mong Kok".

"Mong Kok Carmen" suddenly became the most dazzling focus when this new film was not very good. In addition, many film critics simply compared this "Mong Kok Carmen" with "The True Color of Heroes", which increased the curiosity of the audience even more.

"Alternative "The True Color of Heroes", an alternative gangster film. 》

"People are floating in the rivers and lakes, who can not be stabbed" is an idiom that has spread in the ears of the world, but in my opinion, "stabbed" has two levels of interpretation. The first is the scar left on the ** after being cut. The second is a heart scar that cannot be healed after an injury. With a feeling of anticipation, I watched Wong Kar-wai's debut film "Carmen in Mong Kok". Although it is different from the gorgeous gunfight scene of "The True Color of Heroes", the mood after watching it is still so sad and heavy. After Lu Yan filmed "The True Color of Heroes", such movie themes can be said to be endless. Every day with knives and guns, the underworld gangsters and innocent girls fall in love, but because of the cruelty and helplessness of reality, in the end, they can only go to different sides. Tears and blood blurred the eyes and hearts of the audience, and deeply touched people's fragile hearts.

However, most of the works are all "The True Colors of Heroes". So, I didn't have any particular expectations.

But this movie is not only limited to the private relationship of children, but also the brotherly love and morality of the rivers and lakes are perfectly reflected in it, which makes people inevitably shed tears. In "Carmen in Mong Kok", I was deeply moved by the unswerving love between Moth and Ah Wah/ For Ah Wah, tomorrow will always be full of unknowns and dangers, but Ah Wah still wants to pursue the true love in his heart, regardless of the consequences, and falls in love with Ah Moth.

When "Forget Me Forget You" sounded, the picture of them kissing in the phone booth came to my mind again. At the end, when Ah Mo sent Ah Hua to the car, I was very moved. They already know each other, but they still have to reluctantly accept the arrangement of fate and endure the pain of parting, the desperate, helpless and sad expression on Ah Moth's face, I believe it must have broken the hearts of many people, although Ah Hua finally embarked on the road of no return, but since he has loved, it is enough. But what "Mong Kok Carmen" gave me more surprises and feelings was the brotherhood between Ah Hua and the black fly. In the film, this line runs through it from beginning to end, from the beginning, Ah Hua collected the account for the black fly, was beaten for the black fly, the short knife, and finally the bullet for him, the kind of friendship between each other, fighting and protecting each other, even won me a lot of tears.

In similar movies in Hong Kong in the past, although love often plays a dominant role in the film, what is always rare is the friendship between brothers that is stronger than gold. In this movie, Wang Zuxian's acting skills have really been improved.

At the premiere, Wang Zuxian once said: "It was this movie that made her understand acting." ”

Prior to this, Wang Zuxian would only perform through his superior appearance, but he lacked a sense of realism and feelings that could move people. But after the test and exercise of this movie, Wang Zuxian has a deeper improvement in his acting skills. In the film, I saw her sincere emotions. saw her inner understanding and understanding of the role, not just the pure and lovely appearance.

But Andy Lau didn't have a big breakthrough in the film, he put on a cool show, and the appearance of a gangster can basically take shape. In the past, some people said that it was Lu Yan who made Wang Zuxian, but now in my opinion, it is Wang Zuxian who has made Wong Kar-wai, this lone Wong Kar-wai with his own uniqueness. The current Wong Kar-wai is like a glass of pure water, seeping into some deadly impurities. Wang Zuxian in "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a coldness. It's like a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and people can't feel her worldliness at all. But in this film, she is completely out of the situation.

Originally, I thought it would take a long time for her breakthrough to happen. But when Wang Zuxian encountered Wong Kar-wai, the two immediately sparked.

At this time, it is difficult to say who made whom, but in my opinion, it was Wang Zuxian who made Wong Kar-wai. Because in comparison, Wang Zuxian already has his own place in the Hong Kong film industry. And Wong Kar-wai, before "Mong Kok Carmen", who knew what kind of director he was?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Come and see, everyone, our director Wang Da is here."

The filming site of "Rock 'n' Roll Youth" at the University of Hong Kong. Lu Yan was resting, while Yi Shouyi was talking to Huang Jiaju and Zhou Huimin about the next filming scenes.

But at this moment, Wong Kar-wai, wearing black-rimmed glasses, came.

, a maverick director like Lu Yan, doesn't seem to like to face reporters. Moreover, during this time, he was reading the script of "Rock and Roll Youth" attentively. If he wants to shoot with Lu Yan, he still has some expectations and worries. Although "Mong Kok Carmen" has begun to cause a sensation, in front of Lu Yan, he is just a director who has just emerged.

Compared with Lu Yan, he is indeed a long way away.

Hearing Lu Yan's ridicule, Wong Kar-wai suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Yan Zai, you don't have to make fun of me." How's it going? ”

When everyone heard Lu Yan's words, they all looked at Wong Kar-wai, who was appearing on the front page of the entertainment section at the moment. Compared with Lu Yan's warm smile, even Wong Kar-wai's wry smile just now was a little scary. Because his expression is always so stiff

"I'm resting, and I'm going to play music on the playground. Why don't you warm your hands first? Lu Yan motioned for Wong Kar-wai to sit down beside him before he spoke: "Let everyone see your level."

"Okay, okay, I'm just a deputy, you show me first, lest I shoot when the time comes, I feel that the style gap is a bit big...... I'll try to watch your shooting to find out how to feel" Wong Kar-wai really has to cooperate, and the two directors shoot together. It's easy to have abrupt stylistic changes that can be fatal to a film.
