Reborn I am the second generation of stars

Chapter 932 Cool

The premiere of "Infernal Affairs" is also very intense, at least journalists from all over the world are waiting!
After all, Xu Qian's filming of "The Departed Walker" is the world's attention!
The red carpet stage is also eye-catching, not only Xu Qian and Taylor, but also the international superstar Kobe!
It is also rare for Kobe to take the time to come here. I have to say that Kobe is also very loyal for the promotion of the film!

"Welcome everyone to support the premiere of "The Departed" today, I believe you will not be disappointed!"

I have to say that the media are indeed very satisfied, "The Departed Walker" was a great success!
From the very beginning of the film, the protagonist Colin makes an autobiographical narration, and the camera uses this to introduce Castro, the number one American gangster. Because Colin accepted the favor and baptism of the gang leader, he became the gang leader Castro's son. Using tools, he was admitted to school and became Costello's undercover agent in the police force.The background of the other protagonist, Bill, is more complicated. His uncle is a well-known gangster, and his father is more upright. Because he was killed by the underworld, he wanted to take revenge by becoming a policeman, so he also entered the police school to study.

The film narrates the learning process of the two in the police academy in the form of parallel montage.In the police academy, both of them were paired with a like-minded police school classmate, Colin was paired with a classmate who invited him to dinner from the beginning, and Bill was paired with a black and fat classmate.The appearance of these shots also paved the way for the final ending of the film.That is to say, the two classmates buried the two protagonists with the role of flocking together and dividing people into groups.

After graduating from the police academy, Colin and Bill almost passed by and accepted the different fate of the final police officer.First, Colin accepted the shot assigned to the police station, a long shot, which explained the characters in the entire room.Then there are several close-up dialogue shots, which are some instructions and hopes given to Colin by the boss.Then a subjective shot of Bill was used to transition the picture.That is to say, during Colin's interview, Bill looked down at his feet at the entrance of the interview and stood by.

When Colin walked out of the sheriff's office hesitantly to greet the secretary, Bill raised his head and was greeted in by the front desk.There's an ups and downs here first, on Bill, and then the camera pans to Colin coming out of the open door, and then the camera moves with Colin and puts Bill in the frame as well, for contrast.Then when Bill went in, it was also a panoramic shot, followed by several sets of dialogue shots.The whole clip is smooth and smooth, without too many renderings and decorations, but more to show the difference between the two fates through the lens and montage, that is, the time difference of only a few minutes before and after has caused the different futures of the two people .

Then, Colin stepped into his newly assigned apartment, with the church that had been baptized in front of him. While he was talking to himself, the camera slowly panned to the leisurely shot of Colin standing quietly on the balcony, while Bill accepted the police officer's new Opening a salary and account, going to the tavern to drink with the gangsters of his relatives, discussing the violence in the neighborhood, and accepting the provocations of the gangsters in the neighborhood, in order to get close to Castro and gain his trust.Since then, the editing of the film has almost always used the method of contrasting montage to describe the whereabouts of the two people, and through the method of contrasting montage, it describes how the two people rose step by step to win the promotion and trust of their respective bosses.In addition, the comparison shot also tells about the secret contest between two people for the same thing.

In the film, for the sake of brevity in the narrative, the heroine becomes a psychiatrist, a life-and-death confrontation between Colin and Bill who never really knew each other until the end. This narrative style highlights the ambiguity of their fate. error and chance.

The film has created rich characters.Colin is a careful, suspicious, and ruthless character.Through some detailed shots to reflect his cautiousness in doing things.

He can become an FBI informant in his own right, which is why he can get away with it.Therefore, this role is more domineering and brutal.And Bill's heart is kind and simple.

The personalities of the two people just complement each other, one is flamboyant and the other is calm.Therefore, when Shen Shen was killed, Zhang Yang was also killed in the end.

In addition, the film's handling of violent scenes is straightforward and bloody, without any cover-up or sensationalism.What it presents to us is a world where there is no distinction between black and white, and the jungle of the jungle.The gangsters are ruthless, and the police are brutal and vicious. Everything is subject to the law of survival where the strong is king.

Whether it is the use of color and light, or the scheduling of editing, it is deliberately low-key, so low-key that it is not eye-catching at all.The editing also adopts the contrast in parallel, and there is a shadow of parallel in the contrast, using the most plain perspective and recording method, neither deliberately exaggerating strong, nor intentionally creating elegance.

Others watched it with gusto, but Xu Qian looked a little awkward!

For example, the death of the most touching Huang sir in the original version!
The original version is mainly based on four points!
Charming eyes: Faced with the death of Sir Wong, Tony Leung once again showed us the melancholy eyes that could kill countless little girls

Background music: The background music is remembered without losing the opportunity, and the time is very timely

Slow motion: Pay attention to the slow motion between the police and robbers, accompanied by sad background music, very sensational
Black and white memories: various clips of Huang Sir, the watch for the 25th birthday, etc.!

Look at the death of the American version of Huang Sir: there are no deep and melancholy eyes, no well-timed theme song, no slow motion, no black and white memories, and no Shaqiang (the American version of Shaqiang died on the bench a little later) ). . . . . .Only the protagonist kept saying: fuck, fuck, fuck. . . . . .
-
Tony Leung's death-
The second very sensational part of the Hong Kong version is Tony Leung's death at the end of the film.

Pay attention to four characteristics
Slow motion

The shots of three people are switched, and each person comes once, and the picture changes from color to black and white
Yourou's theme song reminds me again
The elevator door opened and closed and hit Tony Leung's leg

After going through all kinds of twists and turns, Tony Leung finally caught the undercover agent. At this time, the audience should feel at ease, but Liang died. This kind of expectation and the realistic ending formed a huge contrast. Then the above four techniques were used together, and another very ~ very sensational scene Appeared.

As for the US version, like Sir Huang's death, there is still nothing, no slow motion, no technique of changing the picture from color to black and white, and no theme song.Yes, the American version of Andy Lau took the gun and shot the police officer next to him in the head, very simply.

Whether it's facial expressions or dialogue, I feel that Lao Mei is not good at being cool.This feeling is not limited to watching movies, but also novels, animations, and games.For example, let's say,
What Ximen Chuixue blows is not snow, but blood.

This one sentence is enough, and the person's "coolness" is immediately portrayed, and even a scene like this can be imagined immediately in his mind: "Ancient town, small shop, sunset, a sword dripping with blood (close-up), a A man in white clothes stood motionless, and the hem of his clothes fluttered slightly in the wind." . . . . .Sword God, what a cool word.

As for Lao Mei, if they don’t come here, they can say something like “Ximen Chuuxue blows blood instead of snow”, it can be like this——

You glared at him and he said: fuck you!

Formally such a different form of expression, even though it is a movie made by himself, Xu Qian still feels very awkward!

In fact, he has tried his best to unify the styles of the East and the West, but he has not achieved perfection!

But the audience is obviously satisfied!

When "The Departed Walker" was released, everyone stood up and gave high praise!
There was endless applause!

"nice!"

"Awesome!"

"Too beautiful!"

"Classic!"

"This is the best movie I've seen these days!"

"It's beautiful, I want to watch it again!"

. . . . . . . . . .

Xu Qian was also very happy to see such a scene!
