I am afraid that the only way to understand the secret is to ask the British Hong Kong government. However, Xiao Ran has nothing to complain about. No matter in any country or region, classification is a matter that is difficult to fully consider. For example, in the Mainland, "
Who would have expected that a war film like Armageddon would be classified as a Category III film when it was released in Hong Kong because it was too bloody.
Movie classification is a minefield, where everyone is likely to step on a minefield. Moreover, Xiao Ran knows very well that this film definitely does not rely on children, but on mature audiences with thinking ability, targeting audiences who like sensory stimulation.
.
The movie started, and Xiao Ran's name appeared in the creative and producer columns. The silent scene at the beginning was somewhat similar to "The Terminator". The dust and paper on the ground gradually swirled to a central position, and then appeared at that position.
There was an extremely strong black death light, which looked like lightning striking down.
After the light of death, a naked guy appears. However, this guy's posture is different from that in "Terminator 2". In order to highlight the coldness and coolness of the film, it is another half-crouching action, which is also
Pretty cool.
What made Xiao Ran feel dumbfounded was that Chen Musheng was just like him and liked to show subtitles after a scene in the film. This was nothing at first, but Chen Musheng was obviously a bit like Xiao Ran in many aspects, which made him suspicious of Chen Musheng.
After all, is he Adu's apprentice?
Then the protagonist Su Renyao appears. The only difference is that when Su Renyao appears, there is a flash of white light, which vaguely hints at the opposing positions between them. The film officially enters the theme, and the whole story is similar to "Terminator 2" in form.
There is a big difference in content.
However, in terms of action scenes, there is basically no difference. It’s just that the methods used are different, so the effects are naturally different. In the chase scene, the state-of-the-art sound made the sounds of the chase and battle very clear.
passed out.
I have to admit that editing does have the ability to turn decay into magic. The ditch battle was originally shot in the mainland, but with the combination of clever editing and location layout, there were no flaws at all. This made the audience extremely puzzled.
I thought, where is such a place in Hong Kong?
Chen Musheng's approach in this chase is very different, both in terms of camera and other aspects. He is promoting the development with a quite beguiling rhythm, and coupled with a strong rhythm, this
This makes the chase scene in the film much more compact in terms of power and rhythm.
It’s interesting, Xiao Ran definitely thinks so. Foreign language action films generally use plot to convey the tense tension and mobilize the audience’s emotions, but Hong Kong films are accustomed to focusing on the creation of action scenes. Perhaps this is the reason why Hong Kong films are compact
One, this is also one of the advantages that Xiao Ran hopes to take advantage of.
The ditch chase battle was very interesting. Chen Musheng actually used speed and rhythm as the main body, creating a sense of oppression and nervous tension in the audience's hearts. In fact, this climax battle, which originally lasted for six or seven minutes, when it ended, was
Xiao Ran felt like he had accomplished everything in one go.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the director who directed "Streets of Rage"! Xiao Ran admired him very much. At this moment, he completely forgot that Chen Musheng had a great influence. Even this scene is quite similar to the long scene in "The Spy".
The chase scene lasted ten minutes. If Chen Musheng had not found that he could not control the chase scene which lasted ten minutes during the editing, the chase scene that appeared on the screen today would have been at least ten minutes.
However, I have to admit that Xiao Ran's chase scene in "The Spy" was also influenced by Chen Musheng's "Streets of Rage", which deliberately emphasized the tension and rhythm. Of course, some of the delicate close-ups that did not impair the smoothness were
It was his own attempt, and Chen Musheng was unable to do this.
However, this does not mean that this scene is not as exciting as the classic chase scene in "The Spy". On the contrary, the heavy truck exploded with Su Renyao's shot, and then uncoincidently ran over a huge boulder on the ground.
It quickly swept away.
At the moment it leapt up, the truck emitted a crackling explosion. When it passed over Su Renyao's head, it emitted an even more violent explosion. The advanced sound made the entire theater feel as if it had been hit by the wave of air. Su Renyao was faceless.
I stared at the truck passing overhead with a change of expression, it was so cool.
At this time, Xiao Ran admired Chen Musheng's control over the time scale of the explosion. However, what surprised him even more was that Chen Musheng actually thought of using the debris generated by the explosion to pass through Su Renyao's side to create fear in the audience, and at the same time shape Su Renyao's character.
Image. This detailed description is very clever, but also very good.
The truck hit the ground with a bang, and the theater seemed to be shaking. The audience seemed to feel their hearts beating at that moment. The truck hit the bridge pier hard, and the huge truck was suddenly hit.
It turned into something similar to a discus, and emitted an extremely violent explosion. The camera switched to a very close-up view, and the flames swept up and rolled up, as if they were going to set everyone on fire.
Wei Dongling, who was standing next to Xiao Ran, watched in horror, and his heart beat wildly involuntarily. If possible, he would have screamed out loud. And just after Su Renyao and the young man drove away on their motorcycles, in the flames
A huge piece of iron flew up and hit the camera, making the audience nervous again.
A figure in the flames gradually became clearer, and the one who walked out of the flames was Zhang Wenle, who still lowered his head slightly, exuding a particularly cruel and cold-blooded charm. The audience finally couldn't help but exclaimed, they didn't expect this.
The explosion was not able to kill this guy.
For Xiao Ran, the special effects of this shot made him quite regretful. In the eyes of someone who has enjoyed special effects blockbusters such as "The Day After Tomorrow", the special effects in this film are obviously difficult to satisfy him. However, if
If you think about it carefully, judging from people's current experience, there is no flaw at all.
I have to admit that the film was a success, and it was definitely a great success. When the film ended, many viewers were so shocked that they forgot to stand up from their chairs. Maybe they liked the comfort here.
The film was indeed a huge success. Famous film critics such as Li Cheuk-tao wrote articles in newspapers and magazines the next day, expressing their absolute respect for the film with an extremely shocked tone and attitude. They believed that it was the most powerful film in Hong Kong history.
As the most thoughtful science fiction film, what shocked them was the computer special effects in the film. The liquid metal man shocked every audience.
According to Li Zhuotao's article, he affirmed in an absolutely serious tone that this is a very good-looking movie, and may even be the best-looking movie this year. Especially the chase scene in the middle of the film is different from the classic chase scene in "The Spy"
What's amazing is that the hard techniques this scene emphasizes are completely in the style of a blockbuster movie.
The chase scene in "The Spy" is very technical. That is to say, when Xiao Ran handled that scene, there was no similar big scene, and he completely relied on the rhythm and scene control. This is a manifestation of the director's superb skills.
, so Xiao Ran can win the best director.
The only thing that makes Xiao Ran slightly dissatisfied is that Chen Musheng failed to completely convey the theme and intention, but felt a little obscured and intermittent. As a result, this drama failed to reach the height of the original one, but it definitely surpassed it in the action scenes.
The original version. Chen Musheng really followed Xiao Ran's example, and even learned the mistakes Xiao Ran made in "The Spy".
However, Xiao Ran had no choice but to delete the main points related to the plot of his family and country, so the theme seemed a little confused. Chen Musheng did not know the secret, and it is really a pity that he made such a mistake this time.
After Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling watched the video, they immediately went to Xiao Ran's house and greeted their parents when they returned home, avoiding Xiao Han's close contact. Then they and Wei Dongling were talking about very confidential matters in the study.
Wei Dongling felt relaxed all over and said with a smile: "I am relieved this time. With this film, I will definitely win the summer vacation championship and the annual championship!"
Xiao Ran nodded in agreement. He believed that with Phantom's distribution capabilities and the transcendence of the film, it would easily be able to set off a global climax. For the West, it would be impossible for them to make such a scientifically logical film.
Resistant.
After thinking about it, he quickly made a decision: "The time for this siege will be three days later. By then, the film's premiere box office results will have been released, which can give Mo Huaien a fatal blow to his high confidence."
When he is depressed, if we continue to round him up with all our strength, he will definitely be defeated."
"Three days later..." Wei Dongling thought for a while and thought that he could cooperate in time, so he nodded: "I will contact Li Chaoren and the others tomorrow and let him fall from heaven to hell!"
"In the past two or three months, Guoli has invested in several industries, and currently the funds that can be allocated are 700 million!" Wei Dongling, like Xiao Ran, had a mysterious look on his face: "As for Hongwei, just last month
I bought a piece of land with a loan, but now I only have less than 200 million working capital left!"
"In this case, there are still 900 million. If you add Liyou Bank, it will be hard to say!" Xiao Ran smiled softly. Everything was under his control, which made him unhappy: "Let me think about it.
, Guoli just applied for a loan from Liyou a few days ago. According to the procedures, it may take some time. However, there is no need for us to take this risk. We will clear this matter tomorrow and let Guoli's loan be realized!"
The next day, Asia's famous financial newspaper "Asia Wall Street" exposed the fact that Liyou Bank did not follow procedures and had illegally loaned 5.7 billion to the Guoli consortium. In addition, it also blew up Liyou's account.
There is a problem with the head.
On the same day, major newspapers in South Korea also published this scandal one after another. This time, both Kokuli Financial Group and Leeyou became the focus of the Korean financial community. Leeyou Bank hurriedly jumped out to defend that there was absolutely no such thing, and Kokuley also
It's a desperate attempt to defend.
However, on the third day, in the face of the evidence handed over by the mysterious person, the South Korean government had to start an action to thoroughly investigate the scandal. The stocks of the companies participating in the Guoli consortium continued to plummet.
Their wealth suddenly shrank a lot. The scary thing is that at the same time, their investments all had problems of varying degrees, requiring a large amount of funds to circulate.
On the fourth day, it was the day when Hong Guo and Phantom faced each other. Mo Huaien had been confused since the day before yesterday. He had always felt that there was a conspiracy. He thought there was no problem before, but the problem suddenly popped up.
Another investor of Hongguo is Guoli, and now Guoli's various industries are being investigated, and it can be said that he is in absolute trouble. Now, the only one who can help him is himself.
He couldn't help but feel lucky because big companies such as Li Chaoren and Xiao Ran announced their decision to develop that area, which more than doubled the value of his land at a rapid rate, adding Hongwei's assets to 1.2 billion in vain. However, thinking about this
, he suddenly felt vaguely uneasy again, but he really didn't understand where this uneasiness came from.
Maybe... maybe it's time to sell that piece of land. His intuition told him that the most likely problem is that piece of land. Because if there is a problem with this piece of land, such as a decrease in value, then it is very likely that
This creates a chain effect, leading to bank debt collection and even bankruptcy.
He was now sitting in a car with Tie Long heading to the premiere theater. Thinking of this, he quickly picked up his mobile phone and called several wealthy people who had previously offered more than one billion to buy this land. However,
Some were unable to get through, while others were very busy at work and had no time to answer the phone.
Mo Huaien's inner uneasiness became more and more intense, and his original pride gradually faded. He calculated that if there was a problem with this land, there would definitely be a problem with the funds. What was hateful was that he applied for a loan from Liyou Bank
It has been frozen. Once something happens to Liyou Bank, it will directly affect him and Guoli.
While he was secretly resenting it, Tie Long was in a very good mood, thinking smugly: As long as he can defeat Phantom's box office monopoly and become the champion this time, he can take the opportunity to win distribution agents in some regions. Come back next year.
If a blockbuster movie like "The Spy" uses this power to win over Japan's distribution agent, then it will be him, Iron Dragon, who rules Hong Kong.
Xiao Ran was able to go from a screenwriter to a director, and then to a film company boss, and monopolized the Hong Kong film industry. But he, Tie Long, could do the same. Since his works became popular, he began to believe in his own talent.
However, he may have overlooked that his confidence was given to him by Xiao Ran at the beginning, and even any of his plans seemed to be a replica of Xiao Ran's history of success. However, he did not realize that Xiao Ran's history of success may not be suitable for him.
If he can really succeed, then we only need to copy the history of any rich man's fortune, wouldn't it mean that everyone can become prosperous?
Whether it is deliberately not thinking about it, or the authorities are fascinated. Tie Long is sure that his opponent is Xiao Ran, and he simply looks down on others. In Hong Kong, apart from Xiao Ran, he has the most blockbuster movies, and he can't blame him for having enough
of confidence.
Seeing the premiere, he quickly composed himself and tried not to let his emotions leak out. This is an ability that every boss must possess, isn't it? He got out of the car with Tie Long, who was in high spirits, and started to
Inside the screening venue, he only saw a few staff members and a few relatively second-rate actors, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At this moment, he felt as if he had seen this scene somewhere! Where was it? Mo Huaien and Tielong thought hard and couldn't think of it. They looked at the time and saw that there were still twenty minutes before the official premiere.
, presumably it hasn’t come yet.
Mo Huaien found a chair beside him and sat down, picked up his Big Brother and continued to fight. However, there was still no news. Finally, a rich man answered his call, and he immediately asked: "Lao Wang,
Don’t you really want that piece of land? Now I give you a chance, but don’t make a mistake..."
"Sorry, Amo, I have no interest in that land at all right now!" A cold voice came from the other party: "You can keep it for yourself!"
Mo Huaien's heart beat suddenly several times, and his face instantly darkened. He didn't even dare to think of any possibility in his heart. He just trembled slightly, and his ominous omen had reached its peak. At this moment
, his phone rang, and the panicked voice of an assistant came from the other side.
"Boss, all those stars...all went to the premiere of Phantom!"
The sound was so loud that even Tie Long next to him heard it. The expressions of the two people immediately turned extremely pale. Now they thought about when this scene happened, that is, the time when Xiao Ran and Fang Ruohai had a decisive battle. Scanning
There were only a few actors, a few unknown filmmakers, and reporters from a few small publications in the venue. The deserted and desolate place was evident from this.
The hearts of Mo Huaien and Tie Long seemed to be pinched by Xiao Ran, so tight that they could hardly breathe. They finally knew now that they lost, and they lost to Xiao Ran's method that was most likely the same trick!
On the surface, the moves seemed to be repeated, but in reality? At the premiere at the Film Theater, artists such as Zhong Chuhong, Su Renyao, and Miao Liyun all came. Of course, the grand occasion this time was far more spectacular than the original decisive battle with Haile.
At this time, Xiao Ran no longer needed Hong Kong artists to choose sides, because the artists were always on his side.
However, a lot of media came, whether it was the Oriental Newspaper Group, which had reconciled with Xiao Ran, or the Ming Pao Group of Jin Yong Daxia, and "Ta Kung Pao". And the "Xinbao" and "Influence" owned by Phantom
》magazine and other publications also sent reporters, and it was a lively event.
