Chapter 279: Zhang Ce's successor
In 1977, Zhang Guorong, who was only 21 years old, went to participate in the 'Asian Music Singing Competition' held by Lishi, and the music director of this competition was his later mentor Li Xiaotian.
It's just that Zhang Guorong not only met Li Xiaotian through this competition, but also met He Mingyi, one of the judges of the competition.
In the past, Lishi had large-scale programs, and from time to time a pair of children of He Mingyi would come to the stage to offer flowers, and the night Zhang Guorong won the second place in the competition, it was He Mingyi's youngest daughter Mo Wenwei who came to the stage to present flowers. At that time, when this 7-year-old girl saw Zhang Guorong wearing a white shirt and white pants, she felt that he was Prince Charming, and she also admired Zhang Guorong very much.
So......
Li Xuan felt a little messy now, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that Mo Wenwei and Zhang Guorong were like people from two eras, but now they appeared together unexpectedly, which made Li Xuan feel quite chaotic in time and space.
"Wow, Zhou Runfa's shot is handsome!"
"This shootout is really beautiful."
"Yes, one is ten, and it deserves to be Brother Pony."
"I didn't expect Director Wu Yusen to be so powerful in shootouts!"
ββ¦β¦β
There was a sudden burst of disturbing exclamations in the theater, but it was because the eldest brother Song Zihao was ** by others, and the little brother ran to avenge Song Zihao, and then went on a killing spree at the Fenglin Pavilion restaurant.
The bullets in the picture are flying around, and from time to time people are pierced by bullets, and of course, there are also scenes of blood splashing.
The enemy's white clothes, blood, slow motion, and Zhou Yan's cold expression without saying a word constitute a visually impactful aesthetic picture of violence
The aesthetics and visuals complement each other, giving the audience a little more sense of worship for violence and heroes, as if they are going to fight themselves. Wu Yusen's aesthetic images made the audience's blood boil and fascinated, and his initial scale of violent aesthetic pictures also appeared in front of the world for the first time.
Li Xuan also nodded secretly in the audience, Zhang Ce has no children in his life, but there are many apprentices, but there is only one person who inherits Zhang Ce's ideas as a director.
The script of "The True Color of Heroes" in this world was taken out by Li Xuan, so Li Xuan didn't know what Wu Yusen thought about when filming this scene, but when Wu Yusen was filming this scene in later generations, he must have been thinking about some of his master's movie shots.
For example, Zhang Ce's classic movie "Revenge" filmed in 1970.
"Revenge" is a masterpiece of Zhang Ce's films, you can know by looking at the name that it is a story about revenge, and the content is very coincidental with this scene in "The True Color of Heroes", which is the story of a little brother avenging his eldest brother, and they are all stories of the protagonist bravely entering the tiger's den in Longtan with one enemy and ten.
John Woo's violent aesthetics are most like to be expressed with shots of white clothes and blood, such as the battle of Fenglin Pavilion, where more than a dozen villains and even the walls as backgrounds are white, and then let the villains burst out with blood flowers or pour a large pool of blood on the walls. Another example is the last gunfight scene in "Across the Seas", but there is a white parrot who has always been safe in the intense scene, which shows a great contrast with the scene.
These are all used to highlight its violent aesthetic through contrasts of colors and slow motion.
The same is true of Zhang Ce's "Revenge", except that the white clothes were changed from the supporting role to the protagonist, the protagonist Jiang Dawei avenged his eldest brother, dressed in white and bravely entered the Longtan Tiger's Den, and was finally besieged and died, Zhang Ce used the white clothes and blood on the protagonist to reflect this violent beauty.
No wonder Wu Yusen later said to himself that his movie just replaced the knife in Zhang Ce's movie with a gun.
At this time, the audience at the scene was staring intently at the big screen, worried about Brother Pony running rampant in the rain of bullets, and finally breathed a sigh of relief until the end of the shootout, but at the end of the shootout, Brother Pony was shot in the calf twice by an enemy who was not dead, which made the audience's hearts rise again......
However, the protagonist apparently did not die so quickly, and Pony took out his opponent with a few shots, and then walked out with a lame leg.
The film soon arrived three years later, and then the downfall of Song Zihao and Xiao Ma, the two righteous big brothers, the incomprehension of the younger brother Song Zijie, and the shameless betrayal of the younger brother Ah Cheng caused strong indignation among the audience.
It wasn't until the last hearty battle scene that the audience's angry emotions were finally released, and they were so excited to see that they were addicted.
"Bang-"
But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out, Brother Xiao Ma was suddenly shot in the head, Wu Yusen played with his violent aesthetics again, and the blood flowing from Brother Xiaoma's head drenched Zhang Guorong in white with his face.
The whole picture is tragic and gorgeous!
The audience, who was very excited just now, suddenly quieted down, they were confused by the director's sudden move, of course, they didn't want to think that Xuan Yuan's recent movies were all dead protagonists, and now it's not strange that one of the three is dead.
"Bang bang bang-"
The villain Ah Cheng, played by Huang Qiusheng, frantically raised the gun in his hand and shot at Xiao Ma continuously, and under Wu Yusen's slow motion, dazzling blood flowers continued to shoot out from Xiao Ma.
At this time, the audience finally reacted and was shot in the head, but Brother Xiao Ma can still move, maybe he may not be dead, but the next random shooting, such a trick Brother Ma is definitely dead.
"Hit the street, what is this screenwriter doing!"
"Little Pony is dead? How can it be? β
"Which decrepit boy wrote the script? Brother Xiao Ma did not die in the shootout, but was killed by a cold gun. β
"Damn, this isn't really dead, me!"
ββ¦β¦β
Li Xuan nodded secretly listening to the insults of the audience around him, and now some people are scolding to prove that the role of Brother Xiao Ma has indeed been played by Zhou Yanfa, otherwise a passer-by A who is an audience who cares whether you die or not, and only the more audiences who love this movie, the more brilliant the box office of this movie can be.
No matter how the audience reacted, Brother Pony died after all, and the police, who had been one step behind in the movie, arrived at this time.
Huang Qiusheng's best acting skills are the unusual madness and arrogance when he played the ** and villain, so when the audience saw Ah Cheng Yaowu go out and surrender himself, all the audience at the scene couldn't wait to run into the movie and kill this anti-bone boy with one shot.
"His grandmother's, kill him!"
"Damn! Kill this bone. β
"**, you won't really let this kid escape, will you?"
ββ¦β¦β
The director did not disappoint the audience, unless he wanted to make a movie on the street, and the two brothers Song Zihao and Song Zijie did not disappoint everyone, and at the last moment, the younger brother Song Zijie walked out from behind the broken dock and handed the gun in his hand to Song Zihao.
"Bang bangβ"
Then, in the stunned eyes of the anti-bone boy Ah Cheng, Song Zihao pulled the trigger, and after two violent gunshots, watching Ah Cheng, who was shot, scream and fall, the nervous audience finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then applauded.
Finally, in the soundtrack of "Love of the Year", Song Zihao and Song Zijie slowly walked towards the police, and the film came to an abrupt end.
Although the movie has been screened, the applause of the audience has endured, and the thunderous applause has resounded throughout the theater like a tide, and many audiences have stood up and given the most enthusiastic affirmation to the film.
Zhou Yunfa is very excited, although after "The Story of Hu Yue" and "Heavenly Love", he has thrown off the title of box office poison, but he is not a top star in the Hong Kong entertainment industry at all, but this movie gave him hope.
Wu Yusen was very excited, he couldn't help himself when he was shooting comedies, and the loneliness when he was abandoned turned into deep tears in this one, at this moment he wanted to say to the world: Look, I, Wu Yusen, am not just a person who can only make comedies!
Zhang Guorong is very excited, although he has also participated in five or six small-budget movies, but basically all of them hit the street, when has he had such an eye-catching achievement, at this moment, he is worth celebrating.
Huang Qiusheng is very excited, he has just debuted to be able to participate in such an important role, although he is still a villain, but the audience scolds him endlessly, isn't this the best affirmation of his acting skills?
Zou Wenhuai was very depressed, it turned out that Wu Yusen could not only make comedies, he would have left him if he knew it, but it was a pity that he ......
This guy doesn't want to think about it, even if Wu Yusen wants to shoot a shootout movie in Golden Harvest, can he be willing to invest 10 million to make a shootout movie for him? Zou Wenhuai invested 20 million yuan to make a film for Xu Ke without saying a word, which made Wu Yusen feel a lot of taste, he just took less than 1 million principal to shoot "Colorful Lin Yazhen" and waited for more than a year.
The influence of "The True Color of Heroes" is undoubted, and the next day it ushered in a flood of praise from film critics from all walks of life in Hong Kong.
For example, Shi Qi, a well-known film critic in Hong Kong, wrote in his column "Movie CafΓ©" in his "Ming Pao Evening News": "...... "The True Color of Heroes" touches on men's father-son love, brotherly love, friendship love, male and female love, grievance and victimization and revenge and hatred, which can be called an amorous and sentimental work.
This sensational and popular film with a male surname, the plot is exaggerated, and there is a lot of dog blood and tears, but it is colorful, compact and moving, and the image is excellent, making it a particularly enjoyable Hong Kong film this year.
Some friends pointed out that "The True Color of Heroes" is to regain Zhang Ce's masculine drama, Di Long is of course Zhang Ce's old general, Zhou Yanfa's prodigal small actions are also a copy of Jiang Dawei's back then, and the big fight at the end is more reminiscent of Zhang Ce's gut battle. The author completely agrees, but it must be added that the filming level of this new film, the treatment of characters, reason, action and pictures, has made significant progress over most old films of the same kind, and after silly films and ghost films have occupied the market for a long time, this revitalized work is undoubtedly particularly refreshing, and once again issued the attraction of male surnames......"
And the film critic of "Sing Tao Morning Post" wrote: "...... Violence and aesthetics are two completely different concepts, and it's hard to imagine anyone who can combine the two perfectly and get a good balance.
But director Wu Yusen did it.
His "True Colors of Heroes" is such a film that perfectly combines violence and beauty, completely updating the appearance of action movies with the revolutionary concept of the surname in the lens and editing, and the action scenes are designed like ballet. The heroism and warmth of the boy in the movie, mixed with the aesthetic conception and picture presented by the bullet meteor, and even have a ...... that can make "The True Color of Heroes" a classic"
Film critics praised "The True Colors of Heroes", which made the film unmatched in the Christmas file for a while, although Princess Jin's "A Date with a Beauty" was released several days in advance, but the audience's attention gradually shifted to "The True Colors of Heroes".
This Christmas file, "The True Color of Heroes" dominates the world! (To be continued.) )
