In the premiere hall, Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan, the two founders of "Film Fortnightly", have already put down the pen in their hands.
"Royal Senior Sister" really has nothing to record, it is a commercial action movie through and through, with no ideological and artistic connotation at all.
However, this movie is a big breakthrough in Hong Kong films in terms of shooting and production, which brought Chen Bosen and the two a huge shock.
Sitting between Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan is a middle-aged beauty wearing black-framed glasses and a bookish face.
"Sister Tang, what do you think of this movie?" Chen Bosen asked the woman in a respectful tone.
The woman commented: "From the perspective of purely commercial films, even if this "Royal Sister" is put in Hollywood, it is a top-level work. β
Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan didn't expect the woman's evaluation of "Royal Sister" to be so high, Wang Zhonghan asked: "Then if this movie is sold in the United States, is it possible to get a good box office?" β
The woman said: "It's hard to say, the box office performance of Chinese films in the North American market depends on operation first, luck on second, and film quality on third." β
Chen Bosen asked puzzledly: "Why is the quality of the film still ranked after luck?" β
The woman smiled: "For example, the Hong Kong film "The First Punch in the World" a few years ago, do you think it is better than Bruce Lee's movie?" But this movie was the ninth annual box office in North America that year, far more popular than Bruce Lee's film that year. The success of this film is, first of all, that it operates effectively, and the publicity and distribution work are well done; The second is that it was lucky, there were no strong films in the United States to compete for the box office when it was released, and it also used Bruce Lee's kung fu style to attract American audiences. As for the quality of the film, I really can't find any other advantages in that movie except that the editing is not bad. β
Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan looked taught, and then continued to watch the screening of "Royal Senior Sister".
Who is this woman?
can make Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan so respectful.
She is the famous Hong Kong female director Tang Shuxuan, and now the Hong Kong film is in full swing. The proliferation movement was first proposed two years ago in her film magazine "Big Close-up".
Last year, Tang Shuxuan and her husband immigrated to the United States. Before she left Hong Kong, she stopped the film magazine "Big Close-up", and the editor of the magazine, Chen Bosen and others, came out to create another "Film Fortnightly". It can be said that Tang Shuxuan's "Big Close-up" is the predecessor of "Film Biweekly", because the staff team of the two magazines and the concept of the publication are in the same line.
Tang Shuxuan insisted on creating art films in Hong Kong at the end of the 60s, and her first film was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival. Eight years ago, Wen. When Ge made the most trouble in Hong Kong, Tang Shuxuan's second movie was filmed. Revolution is the subject of this movement, which is analyzed and reflected. The film only passed censorship in Hong Kong more than a month ago, and it will have to wait at least five or six years for it to be released.
In a sense, Tang Shuxuan can be regarded as a new Hong Kong film. The mother of Lang ChΓ‘o, she has a very high status among Hong Kong's emerging filmmakers. Like Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan, they were just the little brothers who followed Tang Shuxuan's ass to run magazines.
On the big screen, the chaotic scene in the restaurant has ended, but the audience is still immersed in the shocking scene just now. The scene of bullets flying and electric light is too exciting and enjoyable for the current audience, especially the scene of Hiroyuki Sanada grabbing the villain's hair and smashing four or five glasses with his face, which makes the audience relieved and amazed. The shot that smashed through the glass with his face was shot to the end, and there was no cut at all.
The villain who blew up Hiroyuki Sanada's wife and daughter was finally killed by Hiroyuki Sanada himself, and the frustration accumulated in the audience's hearts was also vented. The plot proceeds slowly, interspersed with many funny plots, which make the audience relax and laugh.
But at this moment, the aircraft escort played by Kang Jianfei was caught by the last villain, and fell on the outer wall of the high-rise building to attract Lin Qingxia to throw herself into the net.
"Royal Senior Sister" is screened here, in fact, there should be three protagonists, namely Lin Qingxia, Sanada Hiroyuki and Kang Jianfei. According to the general plot of the movie, it is natural that Lin Qingxia chased to the rooftop of the building to fight wits with the villain, and then successfully rescued Kang Jianfei.
But the development of the plot was completely unexpected by the audience.
In the original work, here is the villain using a big brother phone to talk to the heroine, but now there is no big brother in Hong Kong, and Kang Jianfei changed to a high-power walkie-talkie. The villain called in advance and asked Lin Qingxia to go to the phone booth near the Landmark Plaza in Central, and then asked Lin Qingxia to talk with the walkie-talkie he put in the phone booth.
Kang Jianfei saw that Lin Qingxia was about to be led upstairs, and in order to prevent his sweetheart from going to danger, he was hung upside down on a tall building, and bent down with difficulty to untie the rope tied to his leg by the villain.
The villain saw that Kang Jianfei was about to untie the rope and commit suicide, so he hurriedly pulled him onto the rooftop.
Just when the audience was expecting Kang Jianfei to be pulled onto the rooftop, and then counterattacked to get out of trouble while the villain was not paying attention, Kang Jianfei suddenly grinned and suddenly untied the rope only an arm's length away from the rooftop.
In mid-air, the male number two played by Kang Jianfei danced wildly, and with a "bang" crashed through the glass shed of the building, falling to the ground with the shattered glass.
"Ahh At the moment when Kang Jianfei untied the rope and fell, at least one-third of the audience at the scene let out various exclamations at the same time, because the development of the plot was really beyond everyone's expectations.
Kang Jianfei played the second male lead, and what he gave the audience before was a kind of flirtatious, self-inflicted, flamboyant, and a somewhat funny half-hung master.
But now he actually gave up his life just to prevent his sweetheart from going to danger, which can be described as a real seed of infatuation.
On the big screen, the female jΗng played by Lin Qingxia looked at the male number two who fell from a tall building, and kept flashing back to the picture of the former hanger Langdang pursuing her, leaving silent tears in her eyes.
In the treatment of this plot, Kang Jianfei put a lot of effort into the later stage, which is ten times more sensational than the original work in another time and space. Tender and sad music sounded, with Lin Qingxia's tears, as well as many fragments of Kang Jianfei's memories when he was alive, and these fragments were Kang Jianfei laughing, all kinds of smiles. The cheap smile is in strong contrast with the infatuation and pathos at the moment.
"Bang!"
On the screen, Lin Qingxia is still crying silently, but the background sound is the loud sound of Kang Jian flying to the ground, and then the picture cuts to the top of the building, replaced by the villain's smug and provocative smile after being stunned.
At this moment, many of the female viewers in the premiere hall were moved to tears, and the male viewers reached another peak of anger against the villain.
But that's not all, after the death of the male number two played by Kang Jianfei, the villain actually dug up his body from the cemetery, and recorded the whole process of digging his grave and sent it to Lin Qingxia and Sanada Hiroyuki, claiming that he wanted to make the person who killed his brother die without a place to bury.
Chinese people are particular about entering the soil for safety, and this villain's action finally ignited the audience's anger. There was even an audience member who was so angry that he threw the soda bottle in his hand directly at the screen, but it hit the head of the audience in the front row, and the person screamed in pain.
Hong Jinbao loosened his tie and said, "This script is written, and I am all hot." β
On Chen Bosen's side, Tang Shuxuan, a literary film director from everyone's best background, couldn't help but twist his body to soothe his emotions and say: "That Kang Jianfei is a master in creating an atmosphere." I didn't expect that I had been in the United States for more than a year, and Hong Kong had such a great director. β
The final battle is finally coming!
The villain used the corpse of the second male to attract Hiroyuki Sanada and Lin Qingxia to a construction site, and buried a large amount of explosives there in advance, and he hid in the house and used sniper rifles to send the protagonists to death.
Such a dangerous ambush made the audience sweat for the two protagonists Lin Qingxia and Sanada Hiroyuki.
Sure enough, as soon as Hiroyuki Sanada drove the car to the construction site, he was immediately suppressed by the sniper rifle and was in danger, and he was not stuck in the car that kept leaking oil.
Then as soon as Lin Qingxia appeared, she attracted laughter and cheers from the audience as soon as she appeared. But it turned out that she was driving a modified car, fully armored with a metal shell, and the sniper rifle couldn't penetrate it at all.
The highest place in the decisive battle is the fight between Lin Qingxia and the villain.
What the audience didn't expect was that the weapon used by the villain was actually a chainsaw. The chainsaw, which sounded with the sound of a huge diesel motor, quickly turned its sawtooth and slashed towards Lin Qingxia again and again, and many viewers were sweating in their palms.
Hong Jinbao was already dumbfounded, he never thought of using a chainsaw as a weapon to shoot scenes, and now this action scene on the screen is too visually impactful.
The end of the story is naturally that the villain is subdued, and the audience cheers, but finds that the film is not over. Just thinking about Sanada Hiroyuki and Lin Qingxia, one with a dead wife and the other with a dead boyfriend, will they come together to become a couple, the villain, covered in blood, crawled out of the rubble with a torch and lifted a gasoline can, which was full of bomb fuses.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
A series of explosions sounded, and Kang Jianfei also added a set of overhead shots to make the explosion scene even grander.
The villain was burned to death, and the two protagonists successfully escaped in the explosion with the body of the second male, which finally made the audience dissipate all the depression in their hearts, and there was a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
More than half of the audience spontaneously applauded, especially the explosion scene at the end of the year was so handsome, and sent another easter egg to the audience who thought it was over, how could it not be liked?
In the midst of applause, people found that the picture appeared on the screen again.
If you look closely, it's a behind-the-scenes work, mostly the action scenes of Lin Qingxia and Hiroyuki Sanada, and some of the flying cars and explosions of the Raptors.
When I saw a stuntman pulled out of a pile of cars that had been knocked out of a pile of deformed cars, the applause that had been stopped rang out again, but this time the applause was dedicated to those behind the scenes. (To be continued.) )
