In the screening hall, the lights gradually dimmed, and the audience began to consciously lower their voices and focus on the big screen.
Del Toro twisted his butt. Today, he had an impromptu idea to watch his idol's movie. When he was rushing over from Atlantic City, he bought a taco made by a Mexican fellow on the way. At this time, he suddenly felt that his stomach began to stir, and a stream of air sank.
.
This famous Mexican hero wanted to go to the toilet, but at the same time he couldn't bear to part with the movie that was about to start.
I just want to wait until the movie starts and try to sneak in for a while...
After all, it is inappropriate for a literary and artistic young man to reveal his intestinal gas in public——
The logos of Miramax, Touchstone and New Line flashed one by one. Touchstone's English name is: Touchstone, and the opening sequence shows a yellow stone shining through the darkness.
"This new title means 'as long as it is gold, it will always shine!'" Zhang Jiazhen boasted quite proudly to Harvey, Bob and others around him.
"Sorry, I really don't..." Harvey shrugged.
"For this title, I hired the best designer in California and spent $20,000."
"Oh? Take a closer look, it seems that such a valuable and big LOGO is indeed very popular!" Harvey changed the subject and nodded frequently in praise, while regretting that he did not earn Zhang Jiazhen's money.
Wu Xiaozu ignored it.
For a title of 20,000 US dollars... Actually, Zhang Jiazhen is not lying. The most important thing is to register this logo and apply for a series of trademark registrations...
However, this amount of money pales in comparison to the 2.08 million a day earned by Shuangzi, a passerby.
This is only the 44th-digit celebrity's annual income...
So, looking at it this way, the investment in the entire movie "Chinatown" is not enough to make half a passer-by Shuangzi's salary...
In the movie theater, as a film critic, Kenworthy has done a lot of research on John Woo.
This time he came to participate in the preview. On the one hand, it was profitable. On the other hand, he was actually an observer for Paramount, mainly to evaluate the commercial value of "Wu Xiaozu".
No one will really ignore the ‘tool people’ who create value.
However, without experiencing the baptism and certification of Hollywood, major Hollywood companies only take a wait-and-see attitude.
If you want to gain a foothold on this land, you must be of profitable value to others.
The movie starts.
The picture suddenly lights up, and the overall tone is warmer, which is slightly different from the image style of this era.
Yes, Wu Xiaozu used filters extensively in this movie.
Of course, it's not the BBC's underworld filter, but the warm color of the tent.
The opening shot shows a paper airplane falling to the ground on the street. Following the paper airplane being blown up by a roaring motorcycle, the camera slowly rises, showing the lively atmosphere of the entire "Chinatown" at once.
There are countless restaurants, hospitals, and grocery stores. Red lanterns hang under the eaves, reflecting the bustling atmosphere. The teapots are steaming, and the children are laughing and playing football.
The camera moves slowly.
The music is paired with a very bright soundtrack, and the various sounds are mixed but not chaotic, which makes people feel the lively atmosphere of Chinatown as the Spring Festival is approaching. Foreigners are no strangers to Chinatown. There are more than a hundred Chinatowns in this land.
years of history.
Passing through the pavilion, many Chinese people drank tea, sang opera, had their heads shaved, and danced lions. At this time, the camera was blocked by the railings and slowly panned down——
A mahjong tile clattered on the table.
Here, the depth of field was used by Wu Xiaozu, and the camera was pulled up.
"Hahaha--"
Tang Ren, played by Cheng Long, slapped a mahjong tile on the wooden table, laughed exaggeratedly and excitedly, and made gestures to collect money.
He becomes a foreground, while the bustling Chinatown directly forms the background.
At this time, a pair of feet appeared on the right edge of the picture, immediately attracting the audience's attention.
The entire lens suddenly pulled up and transformed into a medium shot.
A group of motorcycle gangs riding Harleys parked nearby. They were dressed in a 1970s hippie style, and their flowered headscarves exuded a sense of eroticism.
This scene is actually to highlight Tang Ren's sense of justice - in this era, Wu Xiaozu certainly couldn't portray Cheng Long as a buffoon in the Chou Kingdom. That would be too inconsistent with what he wanted to achieve.
At the beginning, Cheng Long's title shot is actually to grab the audience's attention and explain the background of the story.
At this time, the role played by Xiao Lizi also appeared. He was dealing with psychological counseling at the police station...
Next, the storyline started to get on track, a little girl was kidnapped, and the two had to work together to deal with the case.
The whole story lacks new ideas, and Wu Xiaozu showed his unique side in the scene scheduling.
Many scenes feel overwhelming.
"Wow!!!"
When watching the two chasing the crime in a retro muscle sports car, many fans at the scene exclaimed, especially the scene where Cheng Long climbed on the roof of the car at high speed, which was really frightening to watch.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
When they saw two people being wanted by the police, they had to run into the supermarket. The audience also witnessed the birth of Cheng Long, the God of Hardware War.
He started his own unique Cheng action comedy show.
I have to admit that Cheng Long's physical drama performance really hits the G-spot of audiences in this era.
It is also very appealing and visually expressive.
The fans at the scene were very fascinated, and there were not many innovations in the lens throughout the film.
After all, what Wu Xiaozu shot is an action comedy commercial film. But in terms of scheduling, lighting, color and overall atmosphere style, he captured the mirror style of the 1960s and 1970s.
At the same time, the various racing and fighting scenes of GTA5 have also been added to make people scream in surprise frequently.
At this time, Cheng Long never took the stairs when going downstairs.
There was constant laughter.
Many fans felt the thrill of the film and the charm of Jack Cheng.
Of course, many professional film critics and filmmakers have their own opinions.
There is no doubt that the commercial elements of this film are indeed very concentrated, but we can still see Wu Xiaozu's changing use of "depth of field" and "moving camera".
This also made me feel pee-free throughout the whole movie.
Especially when two people were "framed", it began to heighten the sense of suspense.
Under this fast editing process, many viewers naturally took on the role.
This sense of immersion is actually half the success for this movie!
It’s really not easy for Chinese Americans in North America!
But you have to admit that Jack Cheng's personal charm and audience popularity are indeed in line with the American aesthetics. Every action scene he performs is greeted by waves of exclamations from the audience.
When the foreigners looked at Cheng Long who was working so hard, they all had a feeling of astonishment!
The action design of the family classes of this era is definitely at the top level in the world.
