When Gao Jin appeared at the beginning of the film, the cinema was filled with absolutely inspiring music. The composer of this film was not any strong person in Xiao Ran's memory, but a newcomer who had only been in the film industry for two years. Of course,
Compared with this newcomer, Xiao Ran is undoubtedly newer.
The reason why he did not choose a famous scorer is because Xiao Ran knows very well that scoring is something he can master, rather than photography, which requires very superb skills. At least Xiao Ran knows very well what kind of music is suitable for what kind of film. In terms of scoring,
, he believes that his ability to appreciate is definitely very high, and he also has a very high vision under the influence of the works of Zhong Zhirong of Galaxy Image.
This is a very helpless thing. There is no way. After being trained by the works of peerless masters, it will be a damn thing if your vision is not high. For the soundtrack, Xiao Ran found several composers but was not satisfied until he found this one named Lin Yundao.
Young man, this made him feel good. From Xiao Ran's point of view, this was definitely another failed talent in the film industry.
When Long Wu appeared on the screen, Xiao Ran laughed. It was just a subway battle, and he could bear it. When filming this subway battle, Xiao Ran suffered a lot. Just kidding, there are no computer special effects now, and his hands and feet
There will be no protective equipment attached, which will be removed later in the process.
Therefore, at that time, Xiao Ran did it with fists and kicks, and the action director was Cheng Xiaodong. However, Cheng Xiaodong was not very good at this kind of hard bridge and hard horse movements, so Xiao Ran simulated it by recalling the classic fighting scenes in his own memory.
It was a very hard scene. Xiao Ran had so many bruises on his body just to film this simple scene.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran admired action actors these days more and more. It was not acting, it was just gambling with their lives. When the audience below saw Xiao Ran on the stage, they were stunned, and then laughed, thinking that they recognized it.
Xiao Ran.
I have to admit that Xiao Ran's appearance is very cool, three points cooler than Long Wu in Xiang Qiang's version. It didn't take Long Wu some time to settle the opponent like in the original film, but he solved it very quickly.
Those guys.
It's just that Xiao Ran was a little regretful. If it were Guan Xin who was the action director of this film, I'm afraid the action would have been more energetic. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's heart moved and he glanced at Guan Xin. At this moment, Gao Jin on the screen indirectly
Long Wu's identity was reported: "As expected of the South Vietnamese special forces..."
Just when he heard these words, Guan Xin frowned slightly, and Xiao Ran smiled again. He had received more and more circumstantial evidence about Guan Xin's identity. There are three "God of Gamblers" movies, and Xiao Ran still plans to do so this time
Come up with the concept of a trilogy, make a sequel, and then a prequel.
Therefore, he laid a lot of ambushes in the script. For example, Long Wu and Gao Jin originally met for the first time, but Xiao Ran deliberately showed that they were good friends who had known each other for a long time. In this way, the problem of the prequel was not big.
In the scene where Gao Jin suffered a concussion, Xiao Ran also told the audience through the doctor's mouth that Gao Jin had suffered a head injury before, so that there was enough foreshadowing for the "Young God of Gamblers" starring Li Ming.
Let's continue to enjoy the movie. When the subway battle scene ended, Xiao Ran could even faintly hear the audience in the front row holding their breath. That kind of very brave action scene was undoubtedly very MAN.
When Gao Jin started to fall down the mountain due to a mistake, the less nervous audience members exclaimed. It was obvious that this film touched the hearts of each of them. When they saw the villain played by Wu Zhenyu betraying Gao Jin,
The mood is even more intense.
Xiao Ran gradually lost his interest in appreciating the audience's reaction, because his attention was gradually attracted by the film. This is a very wonderful classic, absolutely, Xiao Ran himself was excited to death. His ability to appreciate was not good to begin with.
Weak, when you appreciate your own works, you can also notice what is bad and what is not good.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, and in the eyes of the audience, there is almost only one man in this film, and that is Gao Jin, played by Zhou Runfa. There may be half a man, and that is the very fierce Long Wu. As for Liu Hua, he is very close to the side.
He was depressed, because he could see that his acting was indeed good. It could be said that Xiao Ran gave him a lot of guidance on this, but in the end, he was overshadowed, completely overshadowed by Fa Ge, who was even more advanced in acting.
Especially when he saw the scene where Gao Jin foolishly gambled with others, and when he saw Zhou Runfa showing an extremely strange sense of separation in terms of body language, eyes or expressions. Xiao Ran was extremely shocked. He
I can swear that Fa Ge's performance here is definitely better than the original version he has seen.
His expression is silly and infatuated, but his eyes are extremely sharp, and his body language fully expresses both. Xiao Ran only has one idea now, Fa Ge is a god, the god of acting. All he needs is a plot like this.
This is enough to confirm his supreme status.
In the scene at the end of the gambling showdown, Fa Ge leisurely took out the chocolate. The performance method of stuffing the whole piece of chocolate into his mouth was proposed by Fa Ge on his own initiative. He told Xiao Ran that in this way, he could maximize the performance.
Gao Jin's identity was heightened to the highest level, and he was even more condescending. As a result, Gao Jin easily defeated his opponent while chewing chocolate...
Except for Fa Ge, no one can play the role of the God of Gamblers. Zi Zi Ge decided to take the role, and the God of Gamblers Gao Jin became synonymous with him. Xiao Ran finally realized that it was not Wang Jing who made the classic "God of Gamblers".
It was Fa Ge who made this film possible. What Wang Jing achieved was just a reputation as a pioneer in creating gambling films, and it was only because of Fa Ge's existence that all of this became meaningful.
Xiao Ran is right. Fa Ge's performance in this scene has become one of the classic teaching materials that all actors around the world must study in the future. This is an unprecedented height, a height that only the god of acting can achieve.
Zhou Runfa was also very satisfied with his performance, but he was even more grateful for Xiao Ran's guidance at the scene. Without Xiao Ran's personal guidance, he thought it would be difficult for him to perform so well.
Don't think that because Xiao Ran has no acting skills, he is not qualified to guide Fa Ge. The director does not need to be a master of acting, but he must be a master who can guide actors to improve their acting skills, because their eyesight is very sharp and strict, and they can always see the actors' performances.
The shortcomings in it are just like Du Qifeng has achieved Liu Hua's dream of being the two-time Best Actor. This does not mean that Du Qifeng is a good actor.
If Fa Ge represents a kind of never-ending passion in "A Better Tomorrow", then in "God of Gamblers" Fa Ge represents wisdom, unparalleled wisdom and maturity, which can make both men and women equally
Crazy mature charm.
In fact, when they saw Fa Ge's final battle, some women already screamed for Fa Ge. Xiao Ran smiled bitterly. He guessed that if there were no accidents, Fa Ge would win the 7th Golden Statue.
I'm afraid I will receive an unprecedented four nominations for the award.
As soon as the subtitles began to fall, the audience began to applaud crazily until the subtitles ended. When the lights were turned on in the cinema and Xiao Ran and his group of creators appeared in the back row, the audience was like in "A Better Tomorrow", once again
Applause for them, with excited and excited expressions.
Many viewers even came to Fa Ge and immediately asked for autographs. Interestingly, some even asked Xiao Ran for autographs because the character Long Wu he played just now was so cool. No one could resist the audience.
Enthusiasm, because it all comes so exciting.
Xiao Ran felt that he was very lucky. Wang Jiawei was almost beaten at a test screening, but he was able to enjoy the applause of the audience again and again and enjoy the glory and flowers that fell on his head. This is really
It's a very lucky thing.
Suddenly, he remembered his mood after the test screening of the prequel "A Better Tomorrow", which was a script he really wrote by himself. When the audience started to applaud him and everyone, that feeling of glory was really
It is indescribable and irreplaceable.
He didn't understand why so many directors in the future would make bad films, but he thought that if those directors were thrown into this era, they would be trampled to pieces by angry audiences. This is a kind of motivation and a kind of pressure.
But it is also a supreme honor.
There is nothing more exciting than this, because it means that your talent has been recognized by more people. This kind of recognition is indeed the greatest enjoyment in life. Although "God of Gamblers" is copied to a large extent,
It's the original version, but Xiao Ran doesn't think it has much to do with Wang Jing. It should be his own work, but it's just not pure enough.
The audience gradually left, and only about ten people were left. Most of them were reporters, as well as Xing Jiafeng, Liu Guanglu, and several of his friends from the police station. Liang Jiabao came to Xiao Ran and gave a thumbs up before going to interview.
Brother, he knew that there must be something worth exploring in Xiao Ran.
Xing Jiafeng and Liu Guanglu came forward and slapped Xiao Ran on the shoulder. Xiao Ran quickly frowned and shouted: "No, it hurts so much!"
Xing Jiafeng smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that your injury hasn't healed yet. However, you shot this movie really well, I won't even say it! Anyway, I like it very much!"
We talked and laughed all the way back to Xiaoyao's Nest. As soon as we sat down and took a rest, Xiao Ran suddenly asked: "Master, why did you frown just now?" In fact, he vaguely knew the answer.
Guan Xin glanced at Xiao Ran in surprise. He didn't expect that Xiao Ran actually saw his action. He thought for a moment and then said: "Why South Vietnam? Why do you have a good impression of South Vietnam? Because they are capitalist? Or because of North Vietnam..."
Xiao Ran smiled: "Sometimes movies reflect reality, and Hong Kong people don't have a favorable impression of North Vietnam. It's as if the return time has been decided long ago, but Hong Kong people are still more scared than they like it. I think you can understand
…”
Guan Xin sighed, how could he not know. Xiao Ran smiled again: "Actually, you don't need to worry about Hong Kong and the Chinese government going further and further away. We are both Chinese, and public opinion may not necessarily be closer to Europe and the United States. You know
, sometimes movies can have a great influence!"
Guan Xin's eyes lit up: "You mean, you are interested in this?"
"Yes, I had the idea of cooperating with Yindu before, but unfortunately I gave it up temporarily because I had a collaborator!" Xiao Ran chuckled: "I think there will always be opportunities in the future!"
Wei Dongling, who had just poured the water, looked confused: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything?"
Of course you don't understand! Xiao Ran laughed. This is something he realized very early on. Hong Kong movies must not rely on the local market. It is definitely a good idea to look north to China. However, it was precisely because of films such as "Cousin, How Wild"
Films like these satirized and even severely attacked the mainland. As a result, the Chinese government, which originally wanted to support Hong Kong films, immediately retracted its intention.
Therefore, it is inevitable to establish good relationships. Without a stable film market, it is difficult for a film kingdom to sustain itself by relying solely on foreign markets. This is Xiao Ran’s idea, and it is also the long-term strategy of the Phantom in the future...
