Chapter 699: Another Glory
In late August, there was a civil war in Golden Harvest, and in early August, it was a showdown between Xiaoao Jianghu and the movie "My Days in the Underworld" produced by Xinyicheng.
"My Days in the Underworld" is one of the few drama films in Hong Kong at this time that focuses on the underworld.
Zhou Yunfa starring, Zhang Yaoyang, Dasha Cheng Kuian, Zeng Qi, Chen Huimin, etc. played supporting roles, but it turned out to be a drama with a strong literary atmosphere, such a combination is absolutely novel.
When it comes to gangster films, most fans will be excited to think of heroic gangster films like the true colors of heroes, and basically no one will associate gangster films with literary films and feature films.
But Xinyicheng is so ingenious, and it made this My Days in the Underworld.
Because it was starring Zhou Runfa, Qiao Feng deliberately watched the sample film.
At first glance, I think it's quite special.
The first shot of the movie is a cast that seems to be written in blood and fills the entire screen.
The camera nervously depicts the primitive and absurd and barbaric ritual of Hong Xing's entry and apprenticeship, and the soundtrack uses percussion to be light and ethereal like a bystander, with no sadness or joy, only a strange free and easy, as if to foreshadow something. The overall effect is just one word, dizzy, and the impact is a little suffocating.
The whole film uses a complex plot to explain the intrigue and cruelty of the underworld, and some of the action murder scenes are outrageous. This is a Jianghu film, and this film is a bit like "Crazy Boy".
Fa Ge is not brave in the film, not by force to conquer, but more by his head and righteousness to conquer the audience. In this movie, Zhou Yunfa "is a good big brother, but not a good boss".
In the film, the kind-hearted Zhou Yunfa finally collapsed the gang that his father forcibly left him, but his personality was recognized by many brothers. This style of convincing people with righteousness is quite similar to the chivalry in martial arts.
And the professionals in charge of watching the film were also impressed by this righteousness.So, although I didn't praise how good this film was, the evaluation given was a very special gangster film, which is worth watching.
And gangster film master Wu Yusen, as a good friend of Zhou Runfa, gave a high evaluation after watching this film.
Wu Yusen said that he liked the scene of "Hong Xing Coming Out on top" in the middle of the film the most, and said that that scene was an absolute classic.
The whole passage is purely composed in slow motion, and the soundtrack is generous and heroic, with a hint of sadness and sadness, and the tone is bright and bright, with poetic romance and pride.
A group of people from different positions and camps, dressed in distinct clothes, danced in the mud under a sunny day, wrestling and wrestling, and exerting the courage and energy of men.
The outlook on life and art expressed in this fragment has transcended the subject matter itself, the underworld characters have been purified into symbols of life destiny, and their fighting has been abstracted into a broad sense of life's struggle for survival and progress.
I can be moved to feel the compassion and tolerance of the director, screenwriter and even the leading actor for the characters in the play.
Zhang Yaoyang played Ah Gang, the character with the richest and most complex character and fate in the whole film, played the scene, expressing the profound meaning behind the camera. His childlike smile and jumping after he finally won the first place are the best interpretation of this feeling. “
Wu Yusen, who had just filmed the bloody duo, obviously felt the kind of movie thinking similar to him from my days in the underworld.
Although the two films are not one genre at all.
However, Wu Yusen was poked by the G-spot in my days in the underworld.
Originally, he looked for Qiao Feng because he had an idea for a new movie, and wanted to communicate with Qiao Feng to see if he would go to Hollywood after making this movie that he had just been inspired by, but in the end, he didn't know where the topic turned a corner, and he spent all his time recommending to Qiao Feng the movie My Days in the Underworld.
For directors with literary and artistic feelings, films with heavy literary and artistic colors like my days in the underworld are always easy to resonate with them.
This is Wu Yusen, if he wants to change to Wang Jing, he definitely scoffs at such a film.
As for the box office, even if there is no such profound clip, just for Zhou Runfa and for genres like gangster films, the box office will not be too bad.
Of course, it's hard to say how good it is, but in short, it won't be bad.Just like Carmen in Mong Kok, the king of sunglasses released last year, if it weren't for the cast of Liu Dehua, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Xueyou, Wan Ziliang and the theme of gangsters, his positioning as a literary film would have persuaded more than half of the audience.
My days in the underworld started with a box office score of 2.5 million on the opening day, which is definitely very good for this year's summer file.
But on the second day of the release, it ushered in a big enemy, and the smiling proud rivers and lakes were released.
This film has attracted much attention since the start of filming last year, directed by Hu Jinquan, a veteran and the founder of new martial arts films, and the producer is the ghost Xu Ke.
The starring role is even more luxurious and scary, Li Lianjie is the male lead, the heroine is Guan Zhilin and Li Jiaxin, and Yuan Jieying plays the third female lead, the super first-line male protagonist, the super first-line heroine and the two first-line female two female and third women, and then there is Zhang Xueyou, a superstar in the music industry, to play the villain.
This lineup, martial arts films in recent years, except for the new Dragon Gate Inn, there is no other martial arts film that can be compared.
And the super success of the new Dragon Gate Inn has made the attention of Xiaoao Jianghu go up several steps, and everyone wants to know whether this film can still replicate the glory of martial arts films created by the new Dragon Gate Inn.
And this suspense was ended after the first day of Xiaoao's release.
On the first day of release, Xiaoao Jianghu won a box office of 4.2 million, which was 1.7 million more than my days in the underworld the day before.
And whether it is professional reputation or audience reputation, Xiaoao Jianghu has continued the glory of the new Dragon Gate Inn.
Whether it is Li Lianjie's Ling Huchong or Guan Zhilin's Ren Yingying, or Li Jiaxin's Yue Lingshan, or even Yuan Hua's Zuo Lengchan has been well received, everyone says that which role in this film is the best and most similar so far.
Jin Yong even published a film review published in Ming Pao, Jin Daxia did not write about the plot, characters, etc., but praised the theme song with a laugh.
"The catchy minor, coupled with the lyrics full of pride and air, a powerful aura of being in a high place but calmly coming to the face, showing the friendship between Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, the two masters, is vividly ......... the friendship between the two masters."
The next day, the box office of Xiaoao Jianghu climbed to a new high, winning 4.85 million, and almost cut 10 million at the box office in two days.
On the third day, although there was a pullback, it still won the box office of 4.1 million.
The box office exceeded 10 million in three days.
