Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Storm in the City
In Hong Kong, what kind of concept is it to exceed 5 million at the local box office in three days! Such results are enough to be proud of those so-called 'big casts' and the so-called super star lineup. Even the box office record holder's 'Best Partner' series has never been so crazy.
"Hey! Boss, there is still a long queue at the door of their respective movie theaters! What to do? ”
In the office of Debao Film Company, Pan Disheng didn't think much about it when he heard this: "Continue to add more scenes!" "The True Color of Heroes" is so popular, there is no way! ”
Oh, yes! No way.
Because the day after the release of "The True Color of Heroes" in Debao Theaters, "Royal Senior Sister" was also officially released. But the people who came to buy tickets were all viewers who asked to watch "The True Color of Heroes", resulting in "Royal Sister" being unattended. The only thing that can be done now is to add a game. Add as much as you can, as much as you want!
Rao is like this, and there are still long queues at the entrances of Debao's various theaters.
"I have to buy a ticket today, but I didn't wait for a day yesterday!"
"Yes! My friend said that "The True Color of Heroes" is so good-looking, especially Chow Yun-fat's Amar! (Pony's name is Mark, or "Ah Ma" in Cantonese, and we are used to calling him "Pony".) )
"That's it! Brother Pony is so handsome, I've watched it twice and still don't find it enjoyable. ”
"The third time? Dude, that's so unkind! Let me get ahead of you! I haven't seen it again......" The one standing behind the man who had just spoken hurriedly shouted.
Everyone lined up and talked about it. In particular, many of the team have come to watch it for the first time, and they are full of praise when it comes to "The True Color of Heroes". The more this is the case, the more anxious the viewers who haven't seen it are.
The media and film critics have begun to contribute to "The True Color of Heroes". For a while, "The True Color of Heroes" was in the limelight.
"Why Love-Little Pony"
Brother Xiao Ma has two outfits that do not leave his body, a windbreaker and a toothpick, just like Brother Guan's red rabbit horse and green dragon knife. If you've been in the south, a toothpick in your mouth is the most common sign in the market. With a wicked smile on his face, and then using dollars to light the cigarette on his lips, well, debauchery can be said to be the first footnote of the pony.
Taipei, Ximending.
It's a bustling city that never sleeps, like Shinjuku in Tokyo or Bowlan Street in Hong Kong. The dusk in Taipei must have been beautiful that day, as beautiful as blood.
The pony threw the newspaper in his hand into the wind, only to smell the murderous smell like frost and fill the sky.
The pony passed through the crowd like a butterfly, still smiling evilly, still flirting with any woman who passed by.
Then he copied out the gun hidden in the flower pot, entered a private room full of seats, the trench coat floated by, the killing began, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, the bullets carried a brilliant fire like a meteor shower, and a man fell, blood flying.
The pony is armed with two guns, and dances like a solo in the midst of bullets and smoke, as calm as a hunter facing a pack of wolves. The camera focuses all the focus on him, and a vengeful hero is born. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know which bastard didn't have long eyes, he was shot in the leg and he limped a little later, then this fight would have been perfect.
It's like things in the world are unsatisfactory, and truly perfect things can't last, and it's because of the flaws that there is a story behind it, which makes us still remember it.
The scene of the pony dragging a stump leg and wiping the car three years later is as memorable as a knife cutting through his heart. The once wanton, high-flying pony is gone, and only a thug with a stump is left. So when Brother Hao said bitterly: "That's not what you said in the letter...... so heartbroken that all the blood turned into tears.
Three years later, Brother Hao is like Ling Hu Chong, who wants to quit the rivers and lakes, and his downfall is due to the wantlessness in his heart. However, as soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, you will always be a person in the rivers and lakes, you can let go of the past, you can say "Sir, I haven't been a big brother for a long time", but how can others let you go? People's hearts are rivers and lakes, how do you quit?
Therefore, the pony saw through the rivers and lakes, and as soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, he resolutely did not retreat.
“…… I waited three years for an opportunity...... I'm going to take a breath, not to prove how great I am, I'm just going to show people that I'm going to get back what I lost! ”
In the Temple of Tin Hau, Ah Hao, who was waiting for the trade with the pony, asked the pony standing in front of the statue in contemplation:
"Do you believe in God?"
The pony said, "Faith." I am God! God is also a human being, and it is God who can control his own destiny! ”
What a belief, what a general's demeanor! If Brother Hao is a declining emperor, then Pony is the hero who turns the tide!
When Brother Hao faced life and death, the pony turned the speedboat around and re-entered the encirclement when it was the most heart-wrenching scene in the rivers and lakes, the pony who had faced the wolves from the front came back, this time he was even more obliged, the so-called ruin.
In the smoke of gunpowder, in the rain of bullets, we anxiously waited for such a bright and Hollywood-style ending to please our partiality, and yet, at that moment:
"Brotherly ......"
Bang!
Hope came to an abrupt end, and the rivers and lakes wrote the heaviest stroke at that moment. We look at the falling ponies with a twisted look on their faces like those of Big Brother and Applejack, and we don't believe what we're seeing.
The pony is about to settle the feud between the heroes and brothers, and he walks so suddenly, so suddenly that God is overwhelmed.
Thank you Director Lu for creating such a flesh-and-blood little brother for us, and thank Director Lu for presenting us with a movie that really belongs to men! ―――――― Editor-in-Chief of "Movie Viewing Magazine" - Ma Dewei.
"Toothpicks are used for toothpicking, but since Chow Yun-fat debuted with a toothpick, the role of this toothpick has changed - it has become synonymous with 'cool', and everyone imitates it." Toothpick-picks don't think it's an "indecent act" because they have Fa Ge as a role model, even though many people look ugly when they hold toothpicks, and sometimes it's simply disgusting. But Fa Ge is their idol, they don't have Fa Ge's tall and handsome, they don't have Fa Ge's eyes and smile, but they can imitate Fa Ge's small action of holding a toothpick, to be exact, this is an action of "Little Pony" played by Fa Ge.
This little brother in "The True Color of Heroes", he announced the birth of Hong Kong film "hero films" with his windbreaker, sunglasses, and hand-to-hand pistols.
In fact, most people do have a soft spot for the third male protagonist, Brother Xiaoma. They often ignore the No. 2 actor who was the biggest selling point of this film - Leslie Cheung.
A few reports mention him, but it is nothing more than a sentence "The policeman played by Leslie Cheung is also in place, it is his unskilled, slightly youthful acting skills that bring to life the image of a fledgling young policeman who is not familiar with the world, if you change to a veteran, maybe there is no real Rong Shaolai." ”
Fortunately, the theme song of "The True Color of Heroes" - "Love of the Year" has also been loved by the audience and fans with the popularity of the film, and everyone is looking forward to the release of Leslie Cheung's new album.
However, what surprised people inside and outside the circle the most was not the author's Kanwen by the media. It is not a comment from a famous film critic, but an article published in Ming Pao by Tsui Hark, the 'film studio'.
"When Yan Tsai came to my office with the script, I also argued with him about the selection of actors. To this day, I have to say a word of admiration! He's a very talented young man, and we all found out about that when we were my assistants.
Although the film was not made at the time due to various reasons, it has finally fulfilled his dream to this day!
I read the script more than ten times, and at first I wanted to help Yan Zai polish it. But after reading it repeatedly, I realized that this is an impeccable script at all!
My favorite character in "True Colors of Heroes" is Song Zihao, played by Dillon. I asked many friends, and they all told me in unison that they liked Xiao Ma, that he stuck a knife in his friends' ribs, and that he treated his brothers with all sincerity.
It is true that Brother Xiao Ma lives a very chic life, for one thing, he can do it without scruples and recklessly, I don't know if others can do it, I must not be able to. We live in this society, there are many things that are very helpless, not everything can be done according to our wishes, so we have to consider many reluctant issues and do some things that we are reluctant to do. Song Zihao faced his younger brother's incomprehension, and he said helplessly, "Sir, I haven't been the boss for a long time";
Faced with the pony's wish of "I waited for three years, three years, I want to start all over again, not to prove anything, but to get back what I originally belonged to", he was powerless and felt ashamed;
In the face of Tan Cheng's aggressiveness, he could only blindly back down, I think he was really tired of living. Song Zihao's image is a reflection of the lives of many people in our real life now.
Yan Zai, congratulations! ”
With countless praises and applause, "The True Color of Heroes" exceeded 10 million at the box office in just one week. At this time, countless media hoped to be able to interview Lu Yan, the magical director. And everyone will find out that this director is undoubtedly the youngest director in Hong Kong, and the most successful rookie director.
But Lu Yan did not accept any interviews, as if he had suddenly evaporated from the world.
Since you can't find a director, then look for a starring role. It's a pity that the 'little brother' Chow Yun-fat that everyone wants to interview the most is unexpectedly not in Hong Kong.
It turned out that "Waiting for the Dawn" starring Chow Yun-fat participated in the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, so he was not in Hong Kong at this time. In fact, since Chow Yun-fat took over the filming of "The True Color of Heroes", it seems to have started the journey of becoming popular in the movie. Although he did not win the Best Actor at the Academy Awards, the role of Ye Jianfei in "Waiting for Dawn" won the Best Actor Award at the 22nd Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards.
When he rushed back to filming, Lu Yan deliberately arranged a celebration party for the entire crew to celebrate him.
And Dillon officially entered the audience's eyes again with "The True Color of Heroes".
Strictly speaking, Dillon is the first actor in "The True Color of Heroes". It's just that during the filming, Chow Yun-fat's role was very outstanding, which made the director intentionally add drama. And Dillon and Chow Yun-fat showed a generosity and a humility in this regard, which made Little Brother Ma in the limelight. With Fa Ge's powerful aura, there are probably only a few people who can make him willing to call "big brother", and Dillon is one of them.
TVB's variety show invited Dillon, and when the host asked him what he felt was the most satisfying work.
Dillon didn't think about it, so he replied: ""The True Color of Heroes" is my most satisfying work, and what touches me the most is that there is a strong brotherhood in it. In fact, whether it is me, Fa Tsai, or the director, they are all at a low ebb in their careers. Even Applejack is mediocre in the film industry. So we're all very united, we're all riveting. ”
"Brother Long, you have always been an idol!"
"That was before, and I remember when I was younger, I had a stable job in a dress shop with a decent salary. But he was fooled into the film industry by the old man He Guanchang, a Golden Harvest boss who has a hobby of collecting and promising young people, "We are art, art can become a lifelong career", and then started from a dead end. ”
"Huh! This time, you men all collided with sparks, and now "The True Color of Heroes" is so popular. Rong Shao's Applejack is also very good. By the way, hasn't Brother Long been in contact with Director Lu recently? In the host's words, there was a hidden inquiry.
"Actually, the director doesn't like what we call him director outside of filming, and others are good. Although he is young, he is very negotiable outside of shooting. In fact, Fa Tsai and I are used to calling them by the names in the movie! Because, everyone is so devoted. As for the director, he originally said that he was going to have a celebration banquet, but Fa Tsai is now participating in the Asia-Pacific Film Festival. So I decided to wait for him to come back and start again! ”
…………………………………
In fact, in front of and behind the scenes of "The True Color of Heroes", the most comfortable person at this time is Lu Yan.
Because of the preparation of the new album, Leslie Cheung has been concentrating on recording songs. All the main actors who participated in the performance of "The True Color of Heroes" received great attention at this time. The villain Li Zixiong immediately received an important role in the TVB TV series. Even if there are not many scenes, Zhu Baoyi, who is purely a vase, has received a lot of notices.
"Yan Zai, you're comfortable. Hide at home every day and enjoy it, we're all going crazy! When Lu Yan entered the office of Dongcheng Image again, Liu Weiqiang immediately said frantically.
"Isn't it all of a sudden, not used to it?" Lu Yan smiled jokingly, in fact, he has not read much of the reports at home these days. It's just that I was too tired some time ago, so I just took this free time to rest.
Liu Weiqiang glared and said with a wry smile: "I'm not an actor, there are a few outsiders who care about behind the scenes." Didn't you say go home and come up with a new script? How's it going! In the past few days, more than a dozen Taiwanese and Singapore-Malaysian filmmakers have come to the door......"
