Company animations are listed one by one. Lokomotiv Entertainment, E7 Entertainment, ASEAN Film Federation, NEW Co., Ltd. and Korean Film Production all appear in the title. There are more than 20 companies involved in the production, two major industries side by side, densely packed.

Many people in the industry were stunned when they saw it.

It cost 18 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is said that 41 million Hong Kong dollars were recovered before it was released.

Isn't this more profitable than robbing a bank?

There is no other way, who told him to call him Wu Xiaozu and she to be called Wang Zulan.

This is not a simple 1+1, not to mention it is a rare work in which Director Wu once again plays the leading role? Principal Wu's performance in "Carmen in Mongkok" is now being used as a teaching material for students by Hong Kong Arts.

If it weren't for the fact that Hong Kong Art Institute was unable to open a doctoral station for the time being... Principal Wu said that he would bring in some female students who like facial gifts and respect their teachers.

However, what made many viewers happy and attracted the most attention was the opening logo of "That's a big film company in Causeway Bay".

The overall style is vulgar and earthy but not ugly. How to describe it?

Coconut tree style advertising design concept——

If you push it to the extreme, it will be hot!

"This sudden change in silhouette is Wang Xianxian turning into Ye Zimei, right?" Heizi couldn't help but joke, with his chicken feet exposed.

Well…

The designers and special effects artists who created the logo previously worked at companies in the San Fernando Valley.

The black screen flashed by, the subtitles appeared one by one, and the screen gradually lit up——

"Huh?"

"The camera feels a bit like a Japanese movie."

After the subtitles and the opening scene of the film, the exterior shot is empty, and the camera is placed there quietly.

Farmland on the outskirts of the city intersects with train tracks.

The old-fashioned locomotive is emitting thick smoke, and the green fields are set against the thick smoke. The large area of ​​smoke and the cold chimney are incompatible with the overall pastoral style of the painting, but it also gives people a sense of dislocation in time and space.

"This shot..."

Sitting under the stage was a young man in a plaid shirt with a beard and a serious expression, holding a notebook in his hand and staring at the screen.

He is a fledgling documentary filmmaker.

"How is it? Isn't it different from yours?"

Hou Xiaoran, who has mushroom hair and dark skin and looks like a fisherman from Fujian Province, smiled and said to the young man next to him: "Director Wu has never stopped exploring film language and lenses.

I think you should come, so I brought you here."

"I have watched Director Wu's "That Man's Summer", "Suspect", "The Birth of a Prefix", "Big Brother", "Pulp Fiction", "Dark Flower", "Gunfire"..." Young with a beard

The man paused, thought for a few seconds and said: "In the film industry, a director like Director Wu who expands his boundaries deserves respect."

"Kore-eda-kun, I know that you are preparing the documentary "When Movies Reflect the Era", and I think you can try to analyze him." Hou Xiaoli said otherwise, "This will be of great help to your future career planning.

"

Yes, the documentary director next to him is called "Kore-eda Hirokazu". Now Kore-eda Hirokazu is still an unknown person, and he has not become the darling of Cannes like Chief Gia...

In later generations, his status in Japan was probably equivalent to that of Section Chief Jia in the mainland.

Hou Xiaolan and Kore-eda Hirokazu can be regarded as both teachers and friends, and the latter is his loyal and loyal little brother.

There are many imitations in the style of later generations. Some people say that Hirokazu Kore-eda is the successor of Yasujiro Ozu, but in fact he may not be the successor of Hou Xiaolan.

Originally, Kore-eda Hirokazu approached him and Yang Deshang and wanted to shoot a documentary about them.

Lao Yang thought for a while and recommended that he record Wu Xiaozu first.

It happened that Hou Xiaoran also came to have a meal, so I brought him along——

"This group of empty shots has a distant and unapproachable attitude. The camera maintains a certain distance from the characters and does not interfere with the audience."

Kore-eda Hirokazu looked at the quiet figure under the tree, and along with the narration, he felt that at least the lens design had a bit of "Ozu Yasujiro" style.

And, it’s not something done deliberately, it seems like it should be like this.

Everything in the camera, a long shot, backlighting on the hillside, a tree, a man standing under the tree.

The soundtrack plays slowly and the narration is drawn out.

In addition to the gentle background music, there is also the faint sound of a typewriter in the background.

This kind of processing method gives Kore-eda a feeling of "great skill but no workmanship".

"The fixed long lens used creates a quiet and contemplative atmosphere, tightly grasping the audience's heart, allowing them to dive deep into the emotions that the actors want to express in the image, and follow the characters in the time of silence and narration.

Feeling the weight of thoughts hidden in the bottom of my heart, appearing on my face, and spreading in the air." Hirokazu Kore-eda picked up the pen and wrote down the rainbow fart in his diary.

Hou Xiaoran, who was standing next to him, had an expression that said, "You can teach me a child."

What a great talent!

Actually...

"When we were shooting this sequence of scenes, Master had to take care of the performance and was very annoyed by running back and forth. After a few shots, he simply asked me to use a long lens..." Guo Zaiyong was explaining to his fellow disciple Jiang Digui.

One sentence.

"The effect is very impressive." Jiang Digui smacked the back teeth of his big-faced face and felt that the master's sense of the camera was indeed very sharp.

"'We wanted to make an appointment to come here together in two years, but unfortunately, she didn't come...'"

During the narration, the camera slowly advanced, and Wu Xiaozu, who looked like a country bumpkin wearing oversized glasses, appeared in front of the camera.

"Pfft..."

"No? Is this Director Wu?"

"Who are you?"

Many of the audience and celebrities in the audience were startled, and then couldn't help but smile.

no way.

I’m used to seeing Wu Xiaozu’s handsome demeanor that dominates the Chinese community, but I’ve never seen him look so ‘unremarkable’!

I have to say, my makeup skills are really good.

At the very least, it’s hard to see Wu Xiaozu’s usual shadow. He looks like an ordinary man...

The picture is upgraded, and the sky is captured with an empty mirror.

Then the whole picture suddenly turned upside down - a framed version of 'Wu Xiaozu' wearing a suit was sitting upside down in the picture, with his legs exposed in the camera.

The lens was pulled up to reveal the viewfinder of the camera, and then the lens was slowly lifted up to reveal a man in a suit and leather shoes, with his hair combed like an adult. Although he was not handsome, he looked like a very elegant man.

Sit quietly in front of the canvas and take photos.

When Hirokazu Kore-eda looked at this scene, he seemed to see the usual style of Ozu Yasujiro, but it was slightly different.

The camera lights in the movie flashed, bringing the particularly gentle scene back to reality.

"Wait a mininute--"

The male protagonist played by Wu Xiaozu in the movie quickly interrupted and took out a portable phone that can pull out the antenna - Nokia 2110. Uh, yes, this is an advertisement.

This model is Nokia’s ‘new phone’ that will be launched this year. In order to open up the Asian market, it will be advertised in advance.

Oh, the watch on the wrist is also an advertisement, and so is the suit.

However, the ads are not obtrusive.

Wu Xiaozu still has this kind of conscience... This is a VIP advertisement specially created for the audience who buy tickets and spend money.

Never cheat poor people out of their money.

In the movie, with the sound of a camera, the photos slowly returned to the past, and a childhood photo appeared.

At the same time, the plot introduction began next to it - here, the sound of the typewriter could still be heard faintly.
Chapter completed!
