Chapter 583: Hot Release (5)
Chen Baisheng walked into the screening hall with a stinky face, and Lin Fu walked in front to look left and right, and quickly looked for the location of the two.
"This ......"
He reminded Chen Baisheng, "Hey, friend, borrow a ......"
Finally squeezed out of the crowd to his place, he didn't rush to sit down, looked around, this screening hall that can accommodate more than 200 people, the attendance rate has been as high as 70%.
It's raining heavily outside, and today is the second day of the new week, but just because a movie will be released today, there are so many people who ask for leave and skip work to watch the movie, just these two points can see the appeal of the wealthy man named Lin Xiaozhi in Hong Kong, and many media and film critics will hang the golden sign of 'commercial film director' on him, which is also appropriate.
Chen Baisheng also looked around for a while like him, and as soon as he sat down, he pointed to the southwest: "No wonder the industry now says, 'Whether the movie is good or bad, the crown can understand it at a glance', and I saw a few acquaintances over there!" ”
Lin Fu followed the direction of his finger for a while, and quickly recognized that two of them were film critics he had dealt with before. Although today is the premiere of the movie, and everyone wants to take the opportunity to see the attendance rate of the crown to evaluate the blockbuster of the movie, this chance encounter still makes Chen and Lin feel heavy in their hearts.
"I don't know, what is the attendance rate in the other screening halls?"
Lin Fu whispered, but didn't get a reply, and when he turned his face, he found that Chen Baisheng was leaning back against the seat and quietly closing his eyes to recuperate, as if he was waiting for the movie to be screened.
Before the movie had even begun, there was a buzz of conversation in the screening room, and several young people were discussing it not far from him.
“…… Just watching the promotional video is addictive, but I got the tickets and holidays ready a week in advance. Brother Long's appearance in the promotional video was very cool, and I saw his eyeballs almost popping out when he saw him running faster and being able to leap over two buildings dozens of meters high. Later, when I saw him shoot and the bullet would turn, I knew that this movie by the great director Lin Xiaozhi would definitely not disappoint me! ”
"I didn't understand that the actor asked the little-known Liu Qingyun to play me, but Brother Fa, Brother Long and Brother Hua all participated in this movie, but there are a lot of things to watch. I've always been a pity before, Fa Ge's acting skills are so good, and I've been trying to transform in the past few years, but the movies I have no choice but to shoot and pick up can't jump out of the original framework, or I feel that it doesn't match his style. However, I am very much looking forward to his cooperation with Lin Xiaozhi. ”
"Huang Rihua is too, there has never been any movies that can be used. Although in "League of Assassins", I heard that he played a supporting role, it is better than playing a trick in those shoddy works! ”
Several people around him chattered endlessly about the upcoming "League of Assassins", although they deliberately lowered their voices, but the undisguised expectations for the movie in the words of several people still made Chen Baisheng, who was already in a complicated mood on the side, suddenly feel impatient, and turned around with a stinky face and reminded: "Several, it's too loud!" ”
The few fans who were exchanging plot conjectures didn't expect to be mentioned, but they didn't argue, and one of them scratched his head embarrassedly and said 'sorry', and then fell silent.
Lin Fu obviously knew that he was not in a good mood, so he took the initiative to chat with him for a few words, and when he saw that he was not very sexual, he simply learned from him to close his eyes and recuperate.
After a short wait, the lights in the screening room dimmed, and then the sound of the staff prompting the film to be shown was about to be screened from the surrounding stereos. The entire movie theater tacitly closed the silence, and all of them fell silent for a while.
At the beginning of the film screening, I saw the opening of Media Asia appear on the big screen, but there was something more than before, "produced by Media Asia, determined to innovate".
Chen Baisheng's eyes froze, looking at the new slogan of Media Asia on the screen, and only nodded slightly after it disappeared completely, as if talking to Lin Fu was more like talking to himself: "Determined to innovate? Grace deserves ......"
Continuing the consistent style of Media Asia, there is no complicated opening and crew introduction at the beginning, only a brief explanation of the director, screenwriter, producer and others, after the words "three months ago" appeared on the movie screen, a light ballad familiar to everyone soon sounded "HappyBirthdaytoYou", which has been sounded in countless families since its birth at the beginning of the century.
"On her birthday was my self-proclaimed anorexic boss 'Janice', who was clearly not the one to control her mouth, so my colleagues had to stand at the table under her authority and eat the junk food with her, while pretending to adore and even flatter her......"
The pace of the movie is fast, unlike many movies in recent years, until it is played for about ten minutes, it is not clear who the protagonist is. "League of Assassins" kicked off with a self-narration of the male protagonist, this kind of shooting method rarely used in Hong Kong films made Chen Baisheng, who was still a little no longer concerned, have a solemn face, and Lin Fu next to him also nodded and whispered as if he was talking to himself: "The opening self-narration leads to the male protagonist, but it is also neat!" Although the opening scene is not amazing enough, it can give eighty points without dragging mud and water. ”
He is not only the deputy editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly" but also a film critic.
As the former TVB pillar, the fat sister - Shen Dianxia's acting skills are very good, and the dark horse prince Liu Qingyun also used only a few wooden and blunt expressions and an indifferent look between him and Shen Dianxia after the broadcast, and perfectly interpreted the image of a protagonist who is a little dissatisfied with reality and his boss in front of the audience.
Smelling Zhou Huimin's fragrance, the corners of Lin Xiaozhi's mouth couldn't help but bend, obviously very proud.
People who watch this movie now may not feel it, but when someone looks back at it a few years later, more than ten years later, it will not be difficult to find how huge the opening scene of this movie is just to play tricks.
Liu Qingyun and Shen Dianxia are the two queens and actors, not to mention the actors, and there are Zeng Weiming, Cheng Dong, Lu Zhenshun, Lian Weijian, Wu Gang, Liang Tian, Lin Guoxiong and other TVB, ATV more than a dozen veteran green leaf-level actors, as well as Li Yanshan, Wu Jiawen, Yuan Yuyi, Zhao Xiasheng seven or eight Asian sisters. In addition, what he is most proud of is that he added Chen Xiaochun, who was not yet famous at this time, to make this new generation of artists who became famous in Hong Kong films after the complete decline of Hong Kong films by relying on the "Crazy Boy" series in later generations, although he only won the Academy Award for supporting actor honor, but was approved by the industry as the 'ruffian actor', debuted in advance, and replaced Jiang Hua and Wu Yijiang, who he had considered before, and starred as a 'friend and colleague' who cuckolded the actor.
Ordinary people may not feel how well-intentioned he is in arranging such an inconspicuous small role for Chen Xiaochun, Chen Xiaochun wants to be famous at this time, he has no acting skills, the only advantage is that young people can dance in this movie, no matter how dexterous his body is, he can't compare to Lin Xiaozhi's hundreds of professional dragon and tiger martial artists and experienced action movie stars, so even if you want to put him with a role with drama and highlights, it is difficult. After thinking about it again, he will give the role of cuckolding the actor to Chen Xiaochun, who he liked quite a lot before, firstly, he will definitely impress the audience, secondly, it is also in line with his ruffianism, and thirdly, he does not have high requirements for acting skills.
As for whether he can take advantage of the situation in the future, it depends on his ability.
Because of the unified rule that smoking is not allowed in the cinemas of the Huanya Department, Cheng Xiaodong, who is not a small smoker, bought a piece of chewing gum in advance, handed it to Xu Ke and was rejected by Xu Ke, knowing that Xu Ke didn't eat much sweets, he didn't care, and smoked a chew on it himself.
Xu Ke played with the beard on his chin, thinking about how long the bland plot at the beginning of the movie would last, but he didn't want the movie to make the audience wait at all, and after briefly explaining his situation, the actor's short self-narration introduction ended soon. As a Toyota Crown taxi, the most common in Hong Kong, appeared on the screen, Xu Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, and through the window, he could clearly see a middle-aged man sitting in the car with a cold face, scanning the surroundings with his afterglow from time to time.
As soon as I saw the super killer played by Dillon appear, anyone who had watched the Media Asia promotional video before couldn't help but sit up straight immediately, because a fierce and exciting first battle of killers was coming soon!
“…… Is there a scene at the beginning that stimulates the shootout? ”
Xu Ke's eyes flickered slightly, although most of the movies he has made in recent years are costume dramas, he is not completely free from making movies with modern urban backgrounds, and modern gunfight action movies are undoubtedly one of the most favorite and most difficult genres for the audience. He had seen the promotional video of "League of Assassins" before, and he also admired Lin Xiaozhi's ability to grasp the rhythm and imagination, so he couldn't help but watch the movie seriously like ordinary moviegoers.
The time in the previous promotional video was only more than a minute, and it was obviously impossible to perfectly interpret the entire fight scene, and Lin Xiaozhi and his production team edited some of the clips when making Zuò, which was naturally far less smooth and exciting than in the movie.
Sure enough, when Dillon's super-killer was assassinated by multiple assassins from the opposite building, he first managed to dodge a wave of assassinations. After escaping from the room, while calculating the distance between the two buildings, he started to sprint from the elevator in the deepest part of the corridor, with a burst of angry shouts, broke through the glass and flew dozens of meters into the air, staged a shocking counterattack in the air, easily killed a number of assassins armed to the teeth, and even shot a turning bullet that shattered the eyeballs of the ground, so that many audiences in the screening hall who had seen and had not seen this scene took a breath of cold air together, in the faster and more proficient fast and slow rhythm he mastered, The heart is in the throat and the eyes.
