Volume 1 Chapter 221 The test screening was successful
When the opening credits of the new Asia film appeared on the big screen, the film screening officially began.
The brief opening of the film lasted about ten seconds, and after ten seconds, the image on the screen changed, flocks of seabirds flew into the blue sky, and the waves below the calm sea surface, and after a dozen seconds of camera changes, people could see what it was.
"Victoria Bay, it's beautiful"
A slightly melancholy compliment came from the back row, a small voice, but because of the proximity, he heard it. Lin Xiaozhi's heart moved, and he immediately knew who the other party was.
Chen Baiqiang
Yes, the melancholy prince Chen Baiqiang sat in the second row, and Lin Xiaozhi intended to talk to him about the new album and the new movie after the movie, so he arranged a position closer to him.
On the screen, the scenery is still changing. Lin Xiaozhi was very satisfied, and had to admit that he spent nearly 100,000 yuan to rent a helicopter to shoot from Victoria Bay to the shore, and used editing to combine more than a dozen different shots together, forming a very beautiful beginning.
Talking is not forbidden at the midnight test screening, and the beautiful scene at the beginning caused a lot of conversation, but after all, they are all people with heads and faces, and everyone's voice control is very good, but it does not affect others to watch. In the sound of the rattling tip of the pen rubbing against the paper, it seems that many reporters and film critics were deeply impressed by this beautiful beginning.
"Killer Leon"
After the title soon appeared, it began to continuously release the producers, directors, screenwriters, leading actors and other teams, which Lin Xiaozhi deliberately postponed in order not to destroy the beautiful scenery at the beginning, it seems that the effect is good, at least he himself likes the beginning of Yu Jingjing.
Among the three columns of producer, director, and screenwriter, Hu Xiaozhi was hung together, and the three words made a lot of attention fall on Lin Xiaozhi. Although he didn't have the special ability to distinguish which of these eyes were curious and which were appreciative, he could guess that many of them were skeptical.
Wait and see, "Killer Leon" will surprise you
As the screening of the movie unfolded, the trace of gains and losses in Lin Xiaozhi's heart disappeared
"You're here?"
At the counter of the pig's head bar, the bar owner played by Gan Shan was dressed as a bartender and lying on the counter.
Xu Jinjiang nodded slightly, walked to the counter in front of the boss and sat down without saying a word, and the wooden box he carried with him was also placed on the counter next to him.
"How's it going, Leon?"
Xu Jinjiang took off the hat on his head without hurry, revealing a straight short hair under the hat. He raised his head, his chin and temples were forced by Lin Xiaozhi to grow for a month, and the dense beard made him not look like he was only in his twenties as his real age, but more like a man in his forties who had entered the prime of life.
stared at the screen for a while, and soon many people in the theater recognized Xu Jinjiang. Li Xiuxian also recognized it, and turned his head sideways in surprise and asked Lin Xiaozhi: "Xu Jinjiang is the starring role?" ”
When New Asia was promoting before, he happened to take his wife on a trip to Japan, so today is the first time he has come into contact with the movie "Killer Leon".
"Hmm" Lin Xiaozhi replied in a low voice, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc. He knew that Li Xiuxian would never be a stranger to Xu Jinjiang, the first time the two worked together in "Dragon and Tiger", Xu Jinjiang was just a small role at that time. No one could have imagined that he, a young man from the mainland, would come out of the crowd so quickly and become the leading actor of a movie.
"Not bad"
Looking at the screen, Leon played by Xu Jinjiang answered simply and ly, and Lin Xiaozhi's heart became more and more stable. He has consulted and revised this script with the people around him very carefully, and the filming of the movie has applied a lot of shooting techniques from later generations, which is much more atmospheric than the small family spirit of most Hong Kong movies.
Movies do
The transaction in the pig's head bar was completed, and Leon was full of aura when he first appeared in the bar, leaving many people with the impression that he was a killer and difficult to get along with. And then Leon came to the door alone, the beast solved the nickname Pig Guy, the black and Taoist boss, more than a dozen heavily armed little brothers quickly solved it in a short time than Leon, Lin Xiaozhi even deliberately combined some martial arts actions in later generations, and designed a group of two guns and one knife to kill three people for Leon, which gradually increased the conversation in the theater.
"Yuan Kui's action direction is really good......"
Lin Xiaozhi vaguely heard Huang Baiming, who was engrossed in watching the movie next to him, say such a sentence, and the smile on his face grew, half of the credit was his
At the beginning of the movie, there was a vivid shootout plot, when Leon played by Xu Jinjiang disappeared on the screen, Huang Baiming, who was engrossed in watching the movie, suddenly turned his head sideways and congratulated him in a low voice: "Lin Sheng, congratulations"
As one of the three giants of the New Arts City, Huang Baiming can be described as one of the most talented filmmakers in the Hong Kong film industry, and he has the most say in the quality of a movie. Although this movie has just been screened for a few minutes, after only a few minutes of watching, Huang Baiming can be sure that as long as there are no problems in the back of this movie, a big hit is indispensable. Even if the previous excitement can be maintained, it is very promising to hit 20 million.
20 million Hong Kong dollars, in Hong Kong is the highest-grossing movie passing line.
"Thank you"
Lin Xiaozhi turned his head slightly, looked at him and smiled, half a year of hard sowing, it was time to harvest.
As the plot of the movie deepens, the conversation that could still be vaguely heard in the movie theater has gradually become inaudible. When most people just think it's just an ordinary action movie, it's just a little more brilliantly made. But as Leon meets the little girl Martha, the little girl who was born into an unhappy family and learned to smoke at the age of twelve or thirteen suddenly adds a lot to the film. The plots that immediately led to her were also little by little, bringing out the original story of the movie.
It was only at this time that people suddenly realized that this was an ordinary action movie, and this was clearly a movie that played with ethics in the skin of an action movie, and then dissected and reflected on human nature.
The small climaxes of the whole movie and the warm plot are also increasing, so that more and more people in the movie theater have restrained their carelessness and begun to watch this movie seriously. Killing people is like hemp, but the killer who should treat human life as nothing loves to raise flowers and plants, and even regards his pot of youth as more important than himself, and when the little girl Martha is in danger, he rescued her in time, and finally sacrificed himself for her. The little girl who should have been ignorant and in the best years of her life, with only the smell of smoke, bruises, and maturity inappropriate for her age, her mother died early, leaving her with a younger brother and a terrible family of drug dealers and recruits, and at a young age she endured all the sins of this world, she could not see what she was living for, and even 'viciously, she said that she wanted to kill her relatives, and finally out of the yearning for her father's love and affection, she fell in love with a man who was dozens of years older than her.
After seeing the most deaf, many film critics suddenly realized that they had been looking at the problem according to the old vision from the beginning, and simply thought that this was an ordinary revenge shootout action movie, but they were fooled into it by the director's methods, and they almost lost the taste and profound taste in the movie.
Rao is before today, many people don't know Xu Jinjiang and Xu Ruoxuan, but there is no doubt that the two of them will continue to be unknown after tomorrow. What's even more unimaginable is that their achievements all come from a man, his name is Lin Xiaozhi
A gripping, thought-provoking film.
A talented, bold and innovative director
It's amazing
