PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for a monthly ticket!
In the projection hall, the lights gradually dimmed, and the audience also began to consciously lower their voices and focus on the big screen.

Del Toro twisted his butt. Today, because he came to watch an idol movie on the spur of the moment, he bought a taco made by a fellow Mexican on the way when he was rushing over from Atlantic City. .

The famous Mexican Three Masters wanted to go to the bathroom, but at the same time, he was reluctant to part with the movie that was about to start.

Just want to wait until the movie starts and try to sneak in for a while...

After all, it is not appropriate for young literary and artistic youth to vent their guts in public——

The logos of Miramax, Touchstone and New Line flashed one by one. The English name of Touchstone is Touchstone, and the title shows a yellow stone shining through the darkness.

"This new title means 'As long as it is gold, it will always shine!'" Zhang Jiazhen was quite proud and boasted to Harvey, Bob and others around him.

"Sorry, I really didn't..." Harvey shrugged.

"For this title, I hired the best designer in California and spent $2."

"Oh? Take a closer look, it seems that such a valuable big LOGO is really amazing!" Harvey changed the subject, nodding and praising frequently, and at the same time regretting that he did not earn Zhang Jiazhen's money.

Wu Xiaozu ignored it.

For a title, it costs 2 U.S. dollars... In fact, Zhang Jiazhen is not lying, the most important thing is the registration of this logo and the application for a series of trademark registrations...

However, that's a big deal.

This is just a quote...

So, looking at it this way, the investment in the entire movie "Chinatown"...

In the cinema, as a film critic, Kenworthy has a lot of research on John Wu.

This time he came to participate in the screening, on the one hand, it is profitable, on the other hand, he is actually an observer of Paramount, mainly to evaluate the commercial value of 'Wu Xiaozu'.

No one really ignores the 'tool man' who creates value.

However, without the baptism and certification of Hollywood, the big Hollywood companies just hold a wait-and-see attitude.

If you want to gain a foothold on this land, you must have the value of being a profitable person.

The movie begins.

The screen lights up suddenly, and the overall tone is warmer, which is slightly different from the video style of this era, full of uniqueness.

Yes, Wu Xiaozu used a lot of filters in this movie.

Of course, it's not the BBC's underworld filter, but the warm color of the tent.

The opening shot shows a paper airplane falling on the ground on the street, followed by a paper airplane being blown up by a whistling motorcycle, the camera slowly rises, showing the lively atmosphere of the whole 'Chinatown' at once.

There are countless restaurants, medical centers, and grocery stores. The red lanterns are hung under the eaves, reflecting the prosperous atmosphere. The boiling teapot is steaming, and the children are laughing and playing football.

The camera moves slowly.

The music is accompanied by a very lively soundtrack, and the various sounds are mixed but not chaotic, which makes people feel the lively atmosphere of the approaching Spring Festival in Chinatown.Foreigners are no strangers to Chinatown. In this land, Chinatown has a history of more than 100 years.

Passing through the pavilion, many Chinese drink tea, sing opera, shave their heads, and dance lions. At this time, the camera is covered by the railing and slowly pans down——

A mahjong tile slapped on the table.

Here, the depth of field is used by Wu Xiaozu, and the camera pulls up.

"Hahaha--"

Tang Ren, played by Cheng Long, slapped a mahjong tile on the wooden table, laughed exaggeratedly and excitedly, and gestured to collect money.

He becomes a close shot, while the bustling Chinatown directly constitutes the background.

At this time, a pair of feet appeared on the right edge of the screen, which immediately attracted the audience's attention.

The whole camera suddenly pulls up and transforms into a medium shot.

A group of bikers riding motorcycles parked beside them on Harleys. They were all dressed up in the style of hippies in the 70s, and their flowered headscarves were full of flirtatiousness.

This scene is actually to highlight Tang Ren's sense of justice - in this era, Wu Xiaozu must not be able to portray Cheng Long as a buffoon in Ugly Country, that is too inconsistent with what he wants to achieve.

At the beginning, Cheng Long's title actually grabs the audience's attention and explains the background of the story.

At this time, the role played by Xiao Lizi also appeared on the stage. He was dealing with the psychological counseling of the police station...

Next, the storyline started to get on the right track, a little girl was taken away, and the two had to bond together to solve the case.

The whole story lacks novelty, and Wu Xiaozu showed his unique side in scene scheduling.

Many scenes feel overwhelming.

"Wow!!!"

Watching the two chasing crimes in a retro muscle sports car, many fans at the scene exclaimed, especially the scene of Cheng Long climbing on the roof at high speed, which really made people shudder.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

When I saw two people wanted by the police, I had to run into the supermarket.The audience also witnessed the birth of Cheng Long, the God of War in hardware.

He started his own unique performance of Cheng's action comedy.

I have to admit that Cheng Long's performance of this kind of physical drama really hits the G-spot of the audience in this era.

At the same time, it is highly infectious and visually expressive.

The fans at the scene were very fascinated, and there were not many innovations in the lens of the whole movie.

After all, what Wu Xiaozu shot is an action comedy commercial film.However, in terms of scheduling, lighting, color and overall atmosphere style, the mirror style of the 60s and 70s has been properly grasped.

At the same time, the various drag racing and fighting scenes of GTA5 that have been added also make people scream frequently.

At this time, Cheng Long never took the stairs when going downstairs.

The laughter continued.

Many movie fans feel the coolness of this movie and the charm of Jack Cheng.

Of course, many professional film critics and filmmakers have their own opinions.

Undoubtedly, the commercial elements of this movie are indeed very concentrated, but you can still see Wu Xiaozu's changed use of 'depth of field' and 'moving camera'.

This also makes the whole movie feel free from urine.

Especially when two people were "framed", they began to heighten the sense of suspense.

Under this kind of fast editing process, many viewers naturally assumed roles.

This sense of substitution, for this movie, is actually half the success!
It is really not easy for Chinese Americans in North America!

But you have to admit that Jack Cheng's personal charm and popularity with the audience are indeed in line with Laomei's aesthetics. Every action scene of his will usher in bursts of exclamation from the scene.

Foreigners looked at the desperate Cheng Long, and they all felt astonished!

The action design of the family-making class in this era is definitely at the top level in the world.

　Post first and then change.
