Chapter 174: The Coolest Dad in History (Part II)
Chapter 174: The Coolest Dad in History (Middle)
August 10, 1985 is a big rì for Hong Kong movie fans. A blockbuster film invested by Zhang Yi's screenwriter is about to be released.
That night, the premiere of the film was scheduled in the mainstream theaters of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line.
Outside the theater, countless media reporters and movie fans gathered. Those fans are local to Hong Kong and from all over Southeast Asia.
This movie is undoubtedly full of gimmicks, screenwriter Zhang Yi, needless to say. Now Zhang Yi's name is the movable type signboard of a movie. And the starring and director Hong Jinbao, needless to say, the big brother in the film and television industry, has a strong box office appeal. The two of them collaborated again after the "Five Lucky Stars" series, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
And the real gimmick is sourced from Zhang Yi's girlfriend Zhou Huimin. This movie is undoubtedly Zhou Huimin's screen show, whether it is Zhang Yi's fans, her own fans, or her and Zhang Yi's fans, they are naturally looking forward to it.
When Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin, the golden boy and girl in the entertainment industry, appeared, they immediately caused a stir, and at the same time, many fans spontaneously burst into applause.
The lovers in the entertainment industry have not been around for a long time, but Zhang Yi and the two are obviously an alternative, at least there have been no rumors of a breakup between the two. The affection is enviable. Especially some time ago, it was rumored that Weng Meiling and Tang Zhenpage officially broke up, and even after Qiuguan and Sister Fat achieved positive results in ten years of long-distance running, there was a relationship crisis.
"Everywhere you go, it's the focus." Pan Disheng looked around and said to Zhang Yi with a smile.
"Huh. I'm actually pretty low-key. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Pan Disheng was stunned when he heard it, then smiled, and then said: "What does Mr. Zhang expect from the box office of this film, its investment is much higher than that of "Resident Evil". ”
"Hehe, how well a film box office is is not measured by how much investment. Hong Kong will certainly not be able to recoup its costs. As for whether Southeast Asia can be recovered, it depends on the market's reaction. As for whether European and American audiences can accept it, it will have to be released in North America. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Mr. Pan doesn't seem to have much confidence in this film, right? So why is he still investing? Hong Jinbao saw Pan Disheng and Yang Ziqiong leaving, and immediately stepped forward and said to Zhang Yi.
"I don't have much faith either. I don't invest too. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Ahh When Hong Jinbao heard this, his originally confident face was suddenly stunned. Watching Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin go in, he smiled bitterly and followed in.
"Rescue of the Hurricane" is a controversial film, of course, the controversy is not that it is not good-looking, but that the murderous heart of the protagonist in the controversial movie seems to be against humanity.
At the beginning of the film, the protagonist played by Hong Jinbao appears as a loser. The narrative is simple and clear, the retired agent played by Hong Jinbao goes to the birthday banquet of his daughter, played by Zhou Huimin, and the relationship between the characters is established in the shortest possible time.
Everyone can feel that he wants to be a good father. It is obvious that in the peaceful life, the protagonist's yù compensates for his daughter and makes up for the frequent frustration of his father's love. Because of his profession, he is rigorous, stubborn, and mysterious. The ex-wife is disgusted, and it is difficult to get close to her daughter.
A father struggling on the line of qualification, a man who fails. But the strong fatherly love he revealed touched everyone.
For his daughter's dream of being a singer, he became a celebrity bodyguard for Anita Mui's cameo, and after saving Anita Mui, he didn't forget to ask about the trick of being a singer. Unfortunately, in the end, it still ended in failure.
Even had a dispute with his ex-wife about his daughter's trip to New York, and he was completely vulnerable. The ex-wife said: "I can make you lose her completely!" "It just made him have to compromise.
But this qiē defeat was completely reversed when danger struck. When his daughter was killed in New York, he calmly responded to the battle and wrote a letter of war to the bandits on the other side of the phone.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you want."
"If you want a ransom, then I sue you, I don't! All I have is some special means, which I have learned in my long work. These means are enough to be a nightmare for you people. ”
"If you let my daughter go now, then this is the end of the matter. I'm not looking for you, and I'm not going to track you down! If not, I'll find you, and then, I'll kill you! ”
"Cool!"
Many viewers saw this paragraph, although there was no hot action, but with these words, everyone felt enthusiastic. The agent's ruthlessness and murderous aura are unmistakable, letting people know that the hero is about to appear.
The plot of the film is extremely compact, or the story is relatively simple, without too much narrative plot, it is a lonely hero who goes deep into the tiger's den to rescue his daughter.
The crisp and neat fights are very different from Hung's previous action style, and there is no comedy component. And the gunfight inside is completely different from the style of Wu Yusen's "Hero Ben Sè". Wu Yusen's "Hero Ben Sè" is a kind of violent beauty, then the shootout in this film has nothing to do with beauty, it is purely violent, killing! But it was a painful killing.
The hot car chase scene is dizzying. Seeing this, the audience knows why the investment in this film is so large. Big scenes, big spending. Enjoyable! Stimulate!
In the film, there is a controversy, that is, the protagonist turns a blind eye to other victim girls in order to save his daughter, and the girl who has been saved is because he is wearing his daughter's clothes.
This seems to be at odds with most people's values. After all, Jin Daxia's words "the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Seeing this, Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi with some concern. And Zhang Yi just smiled.
"Why didn't he save the other girls? Only one was saved with a clue to his daughter. Isn't it too selfish? One of the audience members frowned and said.
"He was a father first, then a hero! He is not trying to save humanity or the country, let alone justice. For him, his daughter is the most important thing now. If he went to save those girls, how could he save his daughter if he delayed time? A spectator said.
"He has already killed those gang members, and Jǐng Cha is bound to intervene, and those girls will be rescued naturally. What's more, his ex-wife was right. He has sacrificed his marriage to serve his country, and he has ruined his life to die for his country. Do you want him to sacrifice his daughter to save other girls? Isn't that too harsh. If you don't save those girls, you can't say that he is selfish. Heroes are people too! A spectator said.
When Hong Jinbao heard this, the worry on his face eased a lot, but the tension was still there. This is his biggest investment and the most popular film. It is also a film in which his Hong family class changes his style, and he cares too much about success or not.
"I should watch this film with my daughter." A middle-aged male viewer watched the film and said to his wife next to him.
His wife nodded. In this film, there are not only hot action scenes that can feed the audience's eyeballs, but also secret, subtle, and silent emotional scenes to tease your heart.
's daughter fell into the hands of gangsters, and the audience began to worry, as the film played, the audience knew that the daughter played by Zhou Huimin was not only in danger of life, but also in danger of losing **. **, for Chinese audiences, it is undoubtedly important. Some are even more important than life.
But when the film was played, no one thought that she would be saved from death because of her ** identity. And the girl who went to New York with her, because she was not a ** identity, was ravaged and died. This is simply a jǐng revelation of an underage girl.
The protagonist is mighty, kills the mastermind, and chases the yacht, kills the old man who wants to possess his daughter with one shot, rescues his daughter, eliminates the barrier, and wins his daughter.
However, for the old man who spent a lot of money to sell the protagonist's daughter, the audience doesn't seem to care about his life or death at all. Whether he should be killed or not, no one discussed.
Spending money to buy death, no one sympathizes, I have to say that it is a kind of sadness.
At the end of the film, the theater burst into applause.
"Still nervous? The film was a success. Zhang Yi said to Hong Jinbao with a smile.
"Isn't this film controversial?" Hong Jinbao still seems to be thinking about the controversy just now and the theater has become noisy.
"Hehe, controversy will attract more attention, attract more people's curiosity, and more people will spend money to buy tickets, right?" Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Ah Yi, you tell me honestly, did you deliberately do this controversy?" When Hong Jinbao heard this, he immediately reacted. If it were other films, maybe he could have thought of it. But in this film, he cared too much, and the director was too nervous, so he didn't think about it at all.
"Huh!" Zhang Yi smiled and didn't answer, but patted Hong Jinbao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Sanmao, with the screening of this film, you said that you may not necessarily become the coolest dad in history." (To be continued.) )
