172 [Hot Midnight Show]
Seeing that Wang Jing looked embarrassed, as if he was retreating, Xia Tian hurriedly took two steps and reached out to hold his hand.
"Director Wang, welcome!" he said with a smile.
Wang Jing was stunned and then smiled, "Thank you, thank you, I heard that "Zombie Family" premiered midnight, so I wanted to come and learn from the scriptures." He explained awkwardly. Because he was not invited at all, he came over after hearing the news.
"Yes, yes, please give me some advice if you have any valuable opinions." Xia Tian smiled. Seeing Wang Jing's face shy and glanced around, Xia Tian knew that what he said was untrue. But of course he would not expose Wang Jing's diorama, so he would let him maintain his self-esteem.
"Where, where." Wang Jing waved his hand, how could he be qualified to comment on others now.
As soon as Shaw Brothers closed, he became a motherless child. Although he had made several blockbuster films before and was famous, and several film companies also handed over olive branches, they were all not very good film companies, which made Wang Jing not interested at all.
"By the way, Director Wang, have you been busy lately? I have a drama here to talk to you." Xia Tian asked directly.
"It's not too busy." Wang Jing said happily, "What kind of play?"
"Today is too messy. You come to my company tomorrow and let's talk in detail." Xia Tian smiled.
"Okay." Wang Jing nodded.
...
At 11:30, the midnight premiere officially began.
In summer, I took the brigade of guests to the second floor to watch.
The reason why I don’t go to the second floor is not because I am stingy in summer and reluctant to give up the golden position. It is because the customs of Hong Kong midnight show are too bad.
Most of the people who don’t sleep in the middle of the night and watch the midnight show are fans who are very enthusiastic about watching movies. Because these fans love movies very much, they naturally have high requirements and are naturally more enthusiastic than ordinary movie fans, and they are somewhat similar to European football hooligans.
If the movie is well filmed, they will give applause without hesitation; if the movie is poor, the director's ancestors will be greeted by eight generations. Some people even throw sugarcane, drink bottles, etc. directly on the screen. So if they sit on the first floor, they may be beaten by movie fans.
Therefore, many directors are afraid to watch midnight show. For example, Xu Ke doesn't even dare to enter the cinema door. Every time the movie is released, they will choose to wait for news in a teahouse not far from the cinema. If the audience responds well, he will secretly put on makeup tomorrow and go to watch midnight show alone. If the audience scolds the audience, he will have to re-edit the movie overnight to win the audience's love.
However, despite the horror of midnight show, film companies like to have midnight show. The reason is that these movie fans are more enthusiastic movie viewing experts. If they all agreed, there would be basically no need to worry about the box office of the movie. Moreover, these movie fans will take the initiative to help promote, which is equivalent to saving a lot of advertising expenses.
...
After I arrived on the second floor and sat down, the movie officially began.
At the beginning, Professor Zhong Fat took Lou Nanguang and Curry to dig cultural relics in the abandoned ancient house.
Curry then reported that she found a cave and picked up two cultural relics.
When the professor saw that the hunt was happy, he hurriedly took them both over.
Lou Nanguang was ordered to go down first, but accidentally slipped under his feet and slipped out directly. When he saw the bones all over the ground, he was so scared that he screamed.
What made the injury worse was that a poisonous snake actually crawled into his clothes along the seams of his pants, which scared him so much that he almost urinated.
Lou Nanguang looked a little bit vulgar, so seeing him being so unlucky, the audience couldn't help but laugh with gloating.
"A Tian, you have found a good seedling." Hong Jingbao said with approval after watching Lou Nanguang's performance.
With his performance, Lou Nan can make the audience laugh, proving that he has the audience’s popularity and talent to become a comedy star, and his future is limitless.
"Yes, A Guang is indeed very good." Xia Tian nodded and smiled.
Although Lou Nanguang's reputation was not prominent in later generations, he was one of the most popular green leaves in the 1980s, and his status was similar to Wu Mengda in the 1990s.
Hong Jingbao sighed again. Lou Nanguang had followed him before, filmed many movies such as "Dragon and Phoenix Wise" and "Old Friends Guigui". Even in his "Great Stars", he played a small role. However, he did not even discover his comedy talent and missed a talent for nothing. It was really "Take a treasure!"
...
And Lou Nanguang's performance later made him even more upset.
Under the pursuit of the two zombies, Lou Nanguang was in a mess, struggling and suffering.
And his embarrassing appearance also made the audience laugh and unable to control themselves.
This scene lasts nearly ten minutes, and the important scenes are all on Lou Nanguang, which is a very test of the actor's acting skills. Moreover, this scene takes place in the room, and the set is very monotonous. If you want to attract the audience's attention, it will undoubtedly have higher requirements for the actor. If he doesn't act well, then the movie will be useless.
But Lou Nanguang resisted the pressure and performed very well, which made the audience laugh and enjoy it, showing his outstanding comedy talent. His performance is almost comparable to Xu Guanying's performance in "Mr. Zombie".
"Oh, unlucky, unlucky! I actually took such an outstanding talent. It's really inappropriate." Hong Jingbao couldn't help but say regret while looking at it.
"Mr. Xia, this scene is really good." Wang Jingze smiled admiringly.
Not every director dares to do this in a scene, three people, a lively scene that lasts ten minutes.
"Thank you for the compliment." Xia Tian smiled.
...
The movie continues.
After the little zombie escaped, she became good friends with the human child.
This scene is innocent and childlike in summer, and it is full of fun.
It also gave the audience who had just passed by a little fright and ecstasy for a moment.
When I saw the little zombie having fun with the child, I looked innocent and innocent, the audience at the scene also showed a knowing smile.
"A Tian, your passage is a reference to "ET"?" Hong Jingbao said with a smile.
Xia Tian nodded with a smile.
In 1982, "ET" directed by Spielberg set a box office record of nearly 800 million US dollars and set off a "ET" frenzy around the world. When the movie was released in Hong Kong, it also caused a great sensation. The pure friendship between alien ET and human children in the movie deeply touched every audience.
Now I learn how to use it in summer and use little zombies instead of ET, which also makes a touching plot, which is very good.
"Mr. Xia, it's amazing." Wang Jing also said in admiration.
"Thank you." Xia Tian smiled. The one who is amazing is not him, but a Hong Kong filmmaker.
The ability to replace American alien ET with small zombies is really amazing!
...
After the happy time of the little zombies and children, a new climax came.
After Lou Nanguang was bitten by a zombie, he unfortunately got poisoned by corpse. He went to the pharmacy to catch medicine, which aroused the vigilance of the official Lin Zhengying.
The reporter played by Xia Tian heard that there was a zombie and followed Lou Nanguang. After finding the zombie that was restrained, he wanted to take a photo to shock the world. As a result, he tore off the corpse-suppressing talisman and the zombies began to go crazy again.
Unfortunately, summer broke the delayed medicine bottle, causing poisonous gas to spread throughout the room and slowing down his movements.
After Lin Zhengying brought Wang Xiaoxian to arrive, he accidentally inhaled poison gas and turned into a snail.
So a funny zombie catching game begins.
Because of the delay agent, everyone's movements are very slow and their words are also very slow. They want to be fast but not fast, but not fast. This funny scene brought inexplicable joy to the audience. They all covered their stomachs and burst into laughter.
"I'm so laughing! Ah Tian, your plot is so brilliant, it's hard for you to think about it." Hong Jingbao couldn't stop smiling.
The action scenes have always been pursuing cleanliness and fast. Unexpectedly, Xia Tian did the opposite and created amazing jokes, which was so creative.
Wang Jing couldn't help but applaud.
If someone else was shooting this scene, they would at most work on the action, and they would be more fancy and more difficult to play. However, even so, they might not be able to excel and make the audience remember this scene.
Because of Hong Kong action movies, martial arts movies, dozens of martial arts movies a year, hundreds of movies in ten years, all kinds of fighting scenes, one-on-one, one-on-many, many-to-many, empty-handed, empty-handed against weapons, weapons against weapons, and all kinds of routines have been played. No matter how good the action scenes are, they are nothing but Err.
However, the addition of this bottle of "slow agent" made the originally ordinary fighting scenes suddenly become interesting and interesting, and it was simply a stroke of magic.
"It seems that I will also use my brain more on this kind of small prop in the future." Wang Jing thought.
...
On the screen, Xia Tian, Lin Zhengying and Wang Qixian finally managed to control the zombies.
The police rushed to control the situation and sent the zombies into the morgue of the police station.
Xia Tian and Lin Zhengying sneaked into the police station to eliminate zombies. Lou Nanguang and Kuai also came to the morgue in order to extract serum to treat corpse poison.
The two worked together to steal the zombies and put them on the car.
Unexpectedly, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole were behind. Xia Tian and Lin Zhengying took the opportunity to drive, trying to take the zombies to a remote place to burn them.
But unexpectedly, when the police set up a check-in, they had no choice but to stop.
After the zombies thawed, they started to go crazy again.
Lin Zhengying had an idea and set fire to the car. In the critical moment, two zombies rushed out from the top of the car and then made a big fuss in the city.
This part is really lively.
Especially the two zombies are so tall that they are invulnerable to swords and guns, and they are like monsters.
In addition, people were so scared that they ran away and screamed, and they suddenly felt like they were special Japanese films.
"good!!"
"It's so satisfying!!"
"Awesome, so awesome!"
I heard the audience shouting wildly.
When watching ordinary action movies, no matter how powerful the protagonist is, he is just a personal one, and his ability is limited.
Chapter completed!
