Why invest in movies?

Art? Style? Sentiment? Humanities?

Convex!

Wu Xiaozu sneered. His idea at this time was to cheat... to make money...

It's a very vulgar idea, but it's extremely realistic.

There are dozens of mouths waiting for food in Kwun Tong, and brothers and families need them to feed them. Maybe we cannot give everything for others, nor can we learn to be saints;

However, within the scope of your ability, you should give an explanation to your former brothers, settle down your family, and give yourself peace of mind. This is not a moral bondage, but just a responsibility.

Call me boss, and I wish you a lifetime of prosperity!

Brothers are separated by life and death, so they can only do their best. This was Wu Xiaozu's idea.

400,000 yuan to test the water and make money in a new drama, what is the best theme to choose?

Movies and online dramas of all sizes in later generations have told us which subject matter makes money the fastest!

Thriller! Thriller! Thriller!

Let's be honest.

The genre of thriller is very suitable for small penis... big...

At the same time, thrillers can quickly attract moviegoers and win box office.

As for the specific type——

Zombie movies? Sorry, without Uncle Nine, zombie movies are just zombie movies. After all, Hong Kong Island does not yet have the kind of zombie soil like "The Walking Dead", "Zombie Crossing", "Dawn of the Dead", and "Planet Terror". The most important thing is

There is no money!

Ghost movie? The makeup and special effects requirements are too high and the cost is not enough! You can’t let a makeup assistant who can only do bridal makeup do the work of styling director or art director.

Stream of consciousness thriller? Haha, if this thing is not done well, it can easily become a popular science film - a training manual for mentally retarded directors. Anyway, countless directors in later generations have devoted themselves to this path.

So the question is, what else is there besides a thriller?

If you ask this question, you must have never watched "Silence of the Lambs", "Saw", "Human Barbeque Pork Buns" and "Die Xian", "Pen Xian", "Wan Xian" and "Plate Xian" which popularized shame knowledge

…

Wu Xiaozu chose a real case that was not well-known in later generations but shocked the whole of Hong Kong in the 1980s for his original adaptation.

Named: "The Butcher on a Rainy Night".

The script mainly talks about the "Human Dismemberment Case" that caused a sensation in Hong Kong the same year he was imprisoned.

This case was deeply impressed in his mind. This case shocked the entire Hong Kong Island at the time. It can be said that no one knew about it.

Taxi driver Lin Guoyun brutally murdered four female passengers in a row. He first killed them, then committed sexual acts on them, and finally brutally dismembered them. The whole process was cruel and inhumane.

This case caused a sensation in 1982, and Hong Kong Governor MacLehose personally intervened. As a result, the people of Hong Kong Island became dissatisfied. After the case was exposed, the taxi industry suffered a huge impact, and many taxi drivers tragically lost their jobs.

The trading volume of license plate exchanges dropped like an N-shaped line, and the anxious Hong Kong Taxi Chamber of Commerce had to work with the competent authorities to introduce a number of policies to mitigate the impact.

One person affects an industry!

On February 11, 1982, based on reports from citizens, the police found a dismembered female head and two arms in the Chengmen River. After investigation, it was verified that it was Chen Xiaolan, a dancer at the Starlight Nightclub.

The cruelty of the techniques and the horror of the crime put great pressure on the Xiangjiang police. At the same time, the cruel murderer did not stop committing crimes. No one knew that this was just the prelude to the serial dismemberment case!

On May 29, a scavenger called the police, who dispatched the police. The dismembered head and limbs of another female were found in the garbage dump, and were confirmed to be Chen Yunyun, a 31-year-old married night shift cashier at a convenience store.

On June 17, tourists discovered another mutilated body of a woman who was killed by the same cruel method in the woods of the park. At the same time, the body was found under a stone in the park. The body was identified and found to be that of Liang Xiufen, a 39-year-old female shopping mall cleaner.

.

On July 2, female student Xie Huixin disappeared after attending a banquet. Her family called the police. Her body was found by the police the next day. The body was dismembered. At the same time, a major breakthrough was made in the case. The police found that there were tadpole residues inside the dismembered body.

At this point, four similar cases of serial murder and dismemberment were put in front of the public, which immediately caused huge social panic. The pressure on the police increased dramatically and they were unable to do anything.

The murderer's methods were cruel and he dismembered the body, which caused huge obstacles to solving the case. What's even more frightening is that the intervals between the crimes are getting faster and faster, which also proves that the murderer is becoming more and more unscrupulous.

The Governor of Hong Kong and the Commissioner of Police had to frequently come forward to comfort the frightened citizens, and even issued "military orders" to the police force. But all this did not ease the tense atmosphere, and the torrent of terror continued to spread. Many companies canceled night shifts for female employees.

Even many Feng sisters in Bolan Street did not show up, which is evident.

Just when the police were at a loss to solve the case, a photo studio employee in Wan Chai discovered photos of women being dismembered while developing the photos, and quickly called the police. The murderer of the serial murder case, taxi driver Lin Guoyun, emerged from the police's sight.

After subsequent investigation and evidence collection, the police confirmed that the taxi driver was the murderer of the crazy corpse dismemberment case, and immediately dispatched police forces to arrest him. Only then was the sensational serial corpse dismemberment case announced to be solved.

During the investigation and evidence collection, the police were horrified to discover a large number of photos and videos of dismembered bodies and body parts taken by the murderer, which shocked them. The investigators were vomiting while collecting evidence, and the whole scene was horrifying.

At that time, this case, which was probably called "Rainy Night Madness" by the newspapers, really had a huge impact.

It even pushed the Traffic Control Department and the Security Bureau to jointly issue the latest taxi management bill with the police force. It took a long time for the taxi industry in Hong Kong to recover.

This case has the elements needed to be adapted into a movie.

It is a case of serial murders and corpse dismemberment that shocked the whole of Hong Kong. It has social popularity, is a gimmick, and is very topical.

Cruelty, perversion, horror, pornography and other fringe elements are all enough to attract attention.

At the same time, the investment in adapting this incident into "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" will not be very high, and it has box office expectations and selling points.

In previous lives, this serial mutilation case has been adapted into TV series, TV series, movies, and comics many times.

Such as "Hong Kong Mysterious Cases: The Butcher in the Foggy Night", "Royal Court No. 1", "Resolution of Wrongs 2", "Confidential Files Lin Guoyun", "Hong Kong Mysterious Cases".

Even Wong Ka Kui, the lead singer of Hong Kong's top rock band BEYOND, composed a song "Dead Romance (part 2)" in order to explore the thought process of "Pervert Lin Guoyun" and his abstraction of death.

The most famous among them is "Hong Kong Strange Cases: Doctor Lamb", shot by Magnum Pictures in the early 1990s and starring Simon Yam and Li Xiuyan.

However, Wu Xiaozu never thought of plagiarizing this film. Apart from showing off horror, gore and pornography, that film can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

In his opinion, although mystery thriller movies focus on bloody pornography, they still pose challenges to actors' acting skills.

Most of these movies are adapted from real cases, and the audience has preconceived impressions. This requires the director to give the film new eye-catching elements. Otherwise, why go to the cinema to watch the movie? It is better to find out the video materials of the year and understand it.

In the script of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night", Wu Xiaozu gave Lin Guoyun more elements to sublimate this perverted character.

Every movie will have his performance tone. Gentle enough, crazy enough, and perverted enough, this is the tone of Lin Guoyun's character in Wu Xiaozu's drama.

Under the tone of the character, the character begins to be fleshed out. This taxi driver must be very low-key and polite on weekdays, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.]

He is a devout follower of Jesus, so he is used to holding a Bible every day. He firmly believes that all living beings are lambs and God is the shepherd.

He also has some mysophobia, so he often wears a white handkerchief. The taxi must be very clean. He likes to wear white shirts, black trousers, and white socks. He has a mysophobia like obsessive-compulsive disorder!

In the next few days, Wu Xiaozu worked hard on writing the script and perfected his shooting plan.

As for the sub-shot script, it can only be written after location scouting. Terrain, light, and climate all affect camera positions and lenses, so sub-shot scripts generally need to be studied based on actual conditions after location scouting.

The choice of a leading actor determines the success or failure of the film.

Could it be?

Wu Xiaozu touched his chin. Considering that he had taught dozens of peripheral skills, he probably wasn't even close.
Chapter completed!
