At this time, an aerial shot lay across the screen. This shot was extremely majestic and profound, showing that the thief would definitely have a chance to escape. Just when the police car was sitting in a car, there was only a short distance left.
When he was about to hit the train, the police braked suddenly and pulled out his pistol. The camera decomposed the action in an extremely detailed and step-by-step manner.
But the car driven by the thief over there was sprinting at full speed at an even crazier speed. The police car here hadn't stopped yet and was still turning. When the train hit the train, the policeman played by Liu Qingyun allowed the car to spin without moving.
He stared at the thief's car as if he was measuring something.
Suddenly, when the car window was facing the thief's car, and the thief's car jumped up, he suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger not far from his eyes! There were several bang bang bang sounds.
Below, I saw a burst of fire bursting out from a gunshot somewhere in the thief's car.
At this moment, the scene turned to the stolen car. Because of the slight explosions, the car flipped several times in the air. Inside, Liu Qingyun drove the car very calmly and jumped over the train by a hair's breadth, spinning in the air and landing smoothly.
On the ground, I saw him calmly running towards the distance with his melancholy.
Just like that, this action scene was over. Not only the audience was breathless after watching it, but also Xiao Ran and the main creative staff were so excited that they didn't dare to breathe. They couldn't believe what was filmed at that time.
The shots turned out to be so wonderful under Xiao Ran's skillful control. Not only was it wonderful, it was extremely smooth and enjoyable.
Regarding this situation, Li Zhuotao opened his mouth wide and kept thinking in his mind that this was really awesome! Looking at his expression, there was a feeling of weakness after pleasure all over his body. He thought that Xiao Ran's skills were already perfect.
Da Cheng, he can definitely be said to be the first person in action movies today.
This scene alone is completely qualified, and absolutely no one dares to object. Li Zhuotao can even imagine the terrifying scene of this film sweeping the box office around the world. No one, no one, can reject such a film. Now Xiao Ran
Just like Wu Yusen reached the peak of "A Better Tomorrow" from "A Better Tomorrow", his directing ability has reached a master level that is difficult to surpass.
However, what shocked Li Zhuotao even more was that the film was full of indescribable artistic conceptions. Every line of dialogue seemed to have its own deep meaning, which was enough for people to savor it for a long time. He kept thinking about why there were two characters.
Liu Qingyun, however, could not get any definite answer. He believed that Xiao Ran would not choose to solve this problem in such a boring way as twins.
However, Li Zhuotao never expected that what would completely shock him was yet to come. When the action scene at the end, which was very similar in creative concept to "The Bourne Supremacy", unfolded, this was the moment that really shocked the audience.
The audience was caught up in the shocking plot.
The scenes alternate at a very short speed. This editing technique alone is enough to win the Oscar for Best Editing. Li Zhuotao dared to swear that if Hong Kong films were no longer sent to the Oscars, the standard would definitely be enough to win the Oscar. He
It is even believed that the editing in this film is definitely the highest level among global films this year.
The audience was breathless. The extremely powerful rhythm made them feel as if they were completely immersed in it. They were the two people chasing or escaping in the film. Only the picture was left in their eyes.
There is nothing else to attract them.
The climax came when the two protagonists in the film collided with their cars. At that moment, countless viewers were so excited that they trembled all over. On the screen, the fronts of the two cars collided with each other. The extremely fast speed and horsepower made the two cars collide.
The two cars flipped over from the rear and flew into the air.
And the two Liu Qingyuns were calm and agile, and while the car was rolling in the air, they all jumped out of the car extremely quickly. The two people held each other's arms, and without saying a word, they coldly drew their guns and shot. They were so evenly matched.
The feeling is absolutely intense.
Just after the crash, the sound effect seemed to have completely disappeared, and only faint whirring sounds could be heard. Xiao Ran took two deep breaths and continued to stare at the screen. The sound effects of this scene were actually
It was him who asked for it to be eliminated, not that the theater speakers were broken.
Why do you do this? Xiao Ran doesn't even need to explain. Just look at the scene now. After the violent collision, it gave the audience a climax-like pleasure. After the pleasure, the rest needs to be calmly thought. Moreover, in this way, from
The process and contrast from extremely loud to extremely quiet is definitely very effective and can create an indescribable sense of concentration.
When the two people landed on the ground, they immediately got up and pointed their guns at each other, which showed the strength of both sides. But what surprised the audience was that both sides pulled the triggers without hesitation, and at the same time
No more bullets!
At this moment, all police officers rushed to the scene. As a police officer, Liu Qingyun pulled out a gun behind him. If you pay attention to the opening of the film, you will find that the gun belonged to the colleague who was killed. In this way, under the influence of countless police officers
Under witness, the police shot the thief dead.
And at this moment, the speed comparison of the screen showed the opening scene again, which gave a very weird feeling. The police came forward and said nothing. They just put handcuffs on the hands of the policeman who had been chasing the thief.
Taking off his ID implies that his identity will change from a policeman to a thief.
After that, the scene changed again. What appeared was the scene of the policeman committing crimes after he was fired. At this moment, two plainclothes policemen arrived. The policeman who had become a thief looked back and shot Wu Zhenyu in his eyebrows.
The gun slowly fell down, and there was a policeman in the center of the shot, and that policeman was Liu Qingyun, the policeman who appeared at the beginning of the film!
At this time, the film went completely black, and subtitles came out. At the same time as the subtitles came out, the sound of gunshots and gasps from the chase scene that appeared at the beginning of the film were also heard. As the title of the film says, the plot starts from the beginning to the end.
The ending went through a reincarnation!
Finally it was Xiao Ran's turn to be the most nervous. He always felt that sometimes people inevitably live for others. For example, this is the case with film creation. If no one appreciates the film he creates, then he regards it as extremely important. Then
What's the point?
What directors pursue is not only the limit or peak of the eighth art, but also perhaps the applause from the audience and the glory given by the audience. Xiao Ran now feels like he is on the execution stand, even though he
After watching the film, I know that the audience will not dislike it, but that kind of uneasy mood is always inevitable.
The feeling was very similar to the moment when you stood on the judgment stand. Life or death would be decided at that moment. However, Xiao Ran suddenly discovered that he was not a god, but the audience was. Perhaps it would be better to say that in
During those hundred minutes, my own supreme god controlled everyone's emotions and thoughts.
But once one hundred minutes have passed, the positions of the two parties have completely changed. At this time, the audience becomes gods, and they will decide everything about this film. Perhaps only a veteran like Xiao Ran can experience this feeling.
New directors often can only experience their own feelings like Xiao Ran did at the time, while ignoring the feelings of the audience.
The lights in the theater gradually brightened, and the subtitles on the screen were still playing. At this point, Hong Kong films have learned the Hollywood trick, and try their best to put the names of the crew members on it. However, Hong Kong films do not
It's not as scary as Hollywood, it's just like cats and dogs.
When the lights came on, the audience felt as if they had experienced several waves of intense orgasms. They only felt an overwhelming sense of pleasure, and their whole bodies had a soft feeling after passion. They couldn't help but stand up, moving their eyes forward, backward, left, and right, and interacted with each other.
At the same time, applause resounded like thunder throughout the theater.
When they finally saw the creative staff coming out one by one in the box at the back of the theater, they were even more excited. They used all their strength on their hands, patted violently, and kept cumming.
Called: "Director Xiao, this drama is so... exciting!"
It was indeed so enjoyable. Li Zhuotao felt the applause and cheers of the audience in another theater. He had to admit that this was a very enjoyable movie, at least it can be called the most exciting action movie so far.
However, the audience enjoyed watching it, but they may not have no doubts in their hearts. Why are there two characters with the same appearance, why do one person play two roles, and why does the ending and the beginning break through the time limit and come with a completely inconsistent one?
The reincarnation of logic?
All these questions are accompanied by extremely exciting plots and pictures, rising in the hearts of every audience. For audiences who don’t want to think, the wonderful action scenes are enough. For those who like to think and like movies
For the audience, all this will trouble them in the short term, forcing them to go back to the theater and experience and think again.
Li Zhuotao was confused and followed the crowd out of the theater, but he really didn't understand what the film was about. Was it just a simple action scene? Xiao Ran would never do such a stupid thing, at least judging from his technique.
If it were a simple action scene, there would never be such a beginning and ending. However, confusion still lingered in his mind.
Xiao Ran and the others were now proudly accepting the endless applause from every audience like kings. He closed his eyes slightly, knowing that he had successfully integrated business and art and achieved a balance.
After more than ten years, he finally mastered the tightrope of balance between art and business, and climbed to the pinnacle of a certain aspect of director's techniques. Now, he closes his eyes and quietly enjoys the blessings from the audience.
Glory, he thought, after this time, he might not make another movie, why not take this opportunity to let himself reflect on the feeling now.
After leaving here, Xiao Ran patted Liu Qingyun's shoulder meaningfully: "Qingyun, this time, you have a good chance of winning the best actor award! Come on, acting is always the most important part!"
Xiao Ran is definitely not kidding. Liu Qingyun acted extremely well in this film. There were not many dialogues in the battle, but the strong flavor and various profound performances were fully demonstrated. If I hadn't met Fa Ge this time
Such a super strong person has at least a 60% chance of winning the prize.
When Soros launched a financial attack on Hong Kong, it was also a time when the Hong Kong market was relatively bleak. What was even more frightening was that the June schedule was not very good. In any case, the film premiered three days later.
It was a premiere that was neither grand nor solemn, just plain and ordinary. Xiao Ran had already passed the stage of needing gimmicks to hype up the film. Just relying on his reputation as an international director and the reputation of his previous works were there.
You can deceive hundreds of millions of box office revenue out of the pockets of global audiences.
There were so many reporters at this premiere, including reporters from the three major TV networks in North America, which shows the great influence of Hong Kong films and the wide popularity of Xiao Ran. What made Xiao Ran dumbfounded was that not only entertainment reporters came, but also reporters.
There are quite a few financial and financial journalists.
Xiao Ran clicked casually and selected the reporter from Xinbao to ask the first question. The reporter from Xinbao stood up and asked attentively: "Director Xiao, it is said that this will be the last film directed by you, is it true? Then?
What are you going to do?"
"I think..." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment. He didn't know if he would be able to restrain his desire to make movies in the future. However, theoretically speaking, this should indeed be the last time: "I think this may be the last time.
This is my last work! I plan to retire in two years, so..."
The reporters couldn't help being surprised, especially Liang Jiabao, whose figure could be seen everywhere. They all found it strange that Xiao Ran was not even forty years old, talking about retirement, and he controlled such a huge seven people.
Group, how to withdraw?
This time the question was asked by a reporter from Asia Weekly. His expression was very serious: "Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, the Hong Kong financial market is currently in chaos due to the attacks of international speculators. What do you think of this?"
Xiao Ran was slightly startled, this was a premiere, and it would be really annoying if it was turned into a financial thing. So, he smiled and said: "Of course I have opinions, but it's not convenient to reveal them at the moment.
Ask questions about the video!”
At this time, a reporter from Disney's ABC asked Xiao Ran: "Mr. Xiao, how long do you think Phantom can last under the attack of international speculators? It is said that you have already lost a lot of the tens of billions of dollars you invested."
"You're wrong. It's not how long the Phantom can hold on, but how long Hong Kong can hold on!" Xiao Ran looked at the reporter resolutely, appreciating the professionalism of the American reporter and not deliberately making things difficult because of the grievances between his boss and himself:
“Again, please ask some questions about the film!”
This premiere is definitely not very successful, but at the box office, I have to admit that it is very successful. Even in the off-season of June, "Samsara", which was only released in movie theaters, was able to be released on the same day
It took in more than two million yuan at the box office, which is really amazing.
After the preview, Li Zhuotao finally had the opportunity to enter the theater and saw a few vaguely familiar faces in the theater that he had seen at the preview. This time, he still couldn't understand what Xiao Ran wanted to say.
It was not until three days after the film was officially released that Li Zhuotao watched it for three consecutive days and finally understood its meaning. It was also the first film review of "Samsara" in Hong Kong and even the world: The last "True Colors" has made people have to admit.
Xiao Ran is a genius. Now I want to say that this is wrong. He is actually a genius among geniuses!
What kind of film is "Reincarnation"? No one can give a completely correct answer. However, I can say that this is a film that perfectly integrates business and art. You can see the fascinating and interesting film in the film.
When you see the wonderful scene of a heart attack, you can deeply experience the profound meaning conveyed in the film every moment.
At that moment, you and I will both know that Xiao Ran has more intentions in it. However, we have never been able to figure it out. This time, Xiao Ran went further, and the theme was conveyed through very clever and various structural techniques.
Convey it. What exactly it is, I cannot describe it in words. It is something that can be understood but cannot be expressed. From "True Color" to "Reincarnation", Xiao Ran has truly embarked on the path of a master.
When the film was released around the world a few days later, audiences and film critics around the world were plunged into a state of bliss and pain. They were blissful because they could experience a pleasure beyond imagination in the film.
It was extremely painful, because they found it difficult to experience Xiao Ran's intentions in the film. Following the clues, they could trace the source of the clues, but they were completely unable to understand Xiao Ran's ingenious use of structural techniques.
Like Li Zhuotao, they spent a lot of time thinking about it before they finally figured out what Xiao Ran wanted to play and what kind of tricks he had played on the structure. Just a virtual hypothesis and the parallelism of time and space, and countless experienced and sharp-eyed people
Film critics and even filmmakers were stumped.
They couldn't use literal meaning to describe what the film was about. As Li Zhuotao said, it is something that can be understood but not expressed in words. In the end, in their film reviews, they only used the words genius and master.
To describe Xiao Ran and this film, and call it the pinnacle of police and gangster movies and structural movies.
