Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 256 "Rush Hour" Premiere ([-])
"Of course I'll come. This is a work I'm looking forward to." Laila smiled and hugged him.

"Director, hello." Shu Qi also stepped forward to greet her.

Lila also hugged her. "It's nice to see you. But how did you end up together?"

"Brother Chen Long invited me, I'm very honored." Shu Qi explained.

Laila felt that it might not be that simple. Perhaps in the future they would be close enough to take pictures of glass bottles together, but now...

After thinking about it, she already understood what was going on.

Simply put, it is a kind of compensation.Chen Long promised to help her introduce Yang Ziqiong to play the role in her new movie, but for some unknown reason, there was no information.Later, Leila signed Shu Qi, and with his energy in the East and his relationship with Wen Jun, he naturally knew about it immediately.

Chen Long failed to keep what he promised Laila, and he never knew how to explain it to her.Knowing that he had signed Shu Qi, he was relieved and at the same time felt embarrassed, so he brought Shu Qi over to show her face on the red carpet, which was considered to help her increase her popularity.

Thinking of this, Laila couldn't help laughing.It's no wonder that Chen Long's popularity in the East has always been very good. If he has always done things with such a human touch, there may not be many people who don't like him.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the movie officially started in the gradually darkened theater.

The main creators, actors and crew members in front watched the movie with trepidation. After waiting for a few months, they will soon know the result whether the movie will be liked by fans.The audience in the back row were holding popcorn and staring at the screen excitedly.Most of them are fans of Laila, and they just want to know what Laila has made after abandoning her "good" horror movies and turning to action movies.

It may sound like an exaggeration to say that most of them are Laila fans, but it is true.Among the actors, Chen Long is probably the most famous, but he is more famous in the east.When he broke into the red zone in the United States, he had some fans who liked martial arts, but compared with Leila's huge fan base, it was not a little bit worse.

Leila spent three films telling her fans that she will never fail, that her films will not be bad, and that all she creates are classics.With these three beliefs, it's no surprise that her fans will use whatever means to storm movie theaters.

Holden is a big fan of Laila.He has become a major figure in Lyla's fandom because of his unconditional support for her on the TV show.His friend's friend worked at the box office, which allowed him to successfully get a ticket to the premiere after paying for a big meal.

At this moment, he was holding the popcorn, sitting excitedly in his seat, waiting to enjoy another magical spell performed by his idol Lyra.No matter how people outside were not optimistic about the movie, he didn't take it to heart at all, because he knew that after today, the movie would use the facts and the box office to tell those people how big a mistake they made!

The beginning of the movie is not complicated. The daughter of an oriental diplomat is held hostage by gangsters.In order to save her, the diplomat who does not trust the Americans called his friend, the HK policeman played by Chen Long, to come to the United States to help him.

However, the idea of ​​a diplomat is very absurd in the mind of the FBI.They think that in their territory, an oriental doesn't know anything at all, so how could he possibly save the child?The most important thing is that if he really rescues people, their faces will be forgotten, and they will definitely be sprayed shamelessly by the outside media.

So Chen Long, who came to the United States, got mixed up with a black policeman who was also deceived. After a lot of laughter, the two decided to join hands and use their methods to approach the conspiracy step by step. And finally destroyed the conspiracy and rescued the child back.

There's nothing remarkable about this movie, there's food for thought in it, and it's just a light-hearted kung fu comedy.It’s also a very orthodox path, where the bad guys are finished and the good guys are saved.

The story is a bit corny, but that's what audiences love about movies.What makes Rush Hour unique is that it incorporates Eastern kung fu into the film, and it's a different kind of kung fu from the Bruce Lee-style kung fu they're known for.

Chen Long's kung fu is one of the highlights of the movie. From time to time, his body makes some unexpected movements, as nimble as a squirrel, and sometimes as cunning as a fox.

Another bright spot is the laughter produced by the collision of Eastern and Western cultures, especially the sharp contrast between Chris Tucker, who plays the black policeman, and Chen Long, who pretends to be stupid, and makes the audience laugh from time to time. The sound of laughing.

Laila's eyes were on the screen, but her ears were carefully monitoring the reactions of the audience behind her.

They laughed!That's enough for the movie!

It's her first time doing this type of movie, not just action, but also funny parts.She felt that she was not a very funny person, and it would be embarrassing if the filming made the audience unable to laugh.

Fortunately, the audience was very kind, and bursts of hearty laughter made her finally put the last trace of worry in her stomach.

Soon, the story advances to the fighting part.

The movements are all designed by Chen Long himself. It is still his kung fu style, which is smooth and amazing. What Laila does is to perfectly integrate the movements designed by him into the movie, and use her lens to let more people Forget for a moment the toughness of Bruce Lee's kung fu and appreciate this new style instead.

In these fights, Leila used some special editing methods, which are more popular in later generations.For example, when a person jumps high, freeze the picture, make a camera transition, and then change it into slow motion.Another example is to quickly switch the screen during the chase to create a fierce and compact atmosphere, so that the audience can empathize.

In fact, she originally wanted to add the bullet moment in "The Matrix", but she thought that the movie was already being filmed at this time, and if plagiarism was involved, it would not be troublesome enough, so she gave up.

But these are enough now, don't look at these small tricks that have been used badly in later generations, but now it seems that they are unheard of and full of novelty.

Some film critics and media reporters among movie fans were surprised to find that these innovative editing techniques are simply amazing!Who would have believed that simply making the frame faster or slower could do magic to a movie?
Many people couldn't help being speechless when they thought that these clips came from the young director who was not yet 20 years old.

But there are also people who don't take it seriously, and it's useless if the audience doesn't buy it no matter how fancy the skills are.It doesn't matter whether the movie is good or not, the box office is everything.Of course, no one will admit this. Under the well-known circumstances, it is only important to have connotations to win an award, and the box office is nothing but floating clouds.
