Chapter 720 "Ip Man 2" premiere ([-])
A good article will have a topic at the beginning, which not only makes the center of the article prominent and the theme clear, but also leaves a deep impression on the readers.Make readers understand at a glance, enhance the attractiveness of the article, and make readers unable to help but read on.

Correspondingly, the same is true for movies. The titles of each movie will show the age of the story through several shots, or the costumes of the actors, or buildings full of era flavor. Easy to play.

Undoubtedly, "Ip Man 2", edited and directed by Wang Xiaohu, slowly introduces the style of Hong Kong in the 50s through several long shots. The wharf and the clothes in the old Hong Kong era all show that Wang Xiaohu has put a lot of effort into this.

A title and several sets of scenes seemed to bring the 3500 viewers of New Century Studios into that era naturally. They felt a sense of intimacy and familiarity, and even evoked Li Ka-shing, Pao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and other rich men. The memories of Shaw, Shen Zhong, Jin Yong and other industrialists.

Something called sincerity began to ferment in the theater, filling my heart, warm and warm.

In New Century Studios, a quarter of the audience came from the 50s. When they saw Ip Man and Jin Shan working as porters at the pier, they naturally thought of themselves, even other young audiences. I also heard more or less from my parents about the hardships of life back then.

For this quarter of the old Hong Kong, after seeing the plot of the port embargo, sensitive words such as "unemployment", "surge of immigrant population", and "conflict between China and Britain" immediately popped up in their minds.

Sure enough, after Ip Man and Jin Shan on the big screen lost their jobs at the dock, several scenes flashed, all of which showed a large number of unemployed Hong Kong residents queuing up for government relief, and some industries even showed depression.

The camera turned to the shabby dwelling again. Ye Wen rubbed the legs of Zhang Yongcheng, who was five months pregnant. Ye Zhun wanted to pay the tuition fee, and the landlady came to urge the rent. Under the tight living conditions, Yongcheng refused to let Ye Man open the door. Master Ye looked sad.
"Although there are few shots, there is a strong warmth. I never thought that Zhao Yazhi would play Zhang Yongcheng again in 11 years, and it would give me such a big surprise. The pregnant woman's dress is not artificial at all. Ip Man is so downcast, she still doesn't leave. Don’t give up, it’s really a model of a good wife and mother.”

As the editor-in-chief of "Hong Kong Women's Daily", Zhang Weijuan always attends the premiere whenever Zhao Yazhi's movie is released. On the one hand, she needs to work, and on the other hand, she is also a fan of Zhao Yazhi. None of them got what they wanted.

The story continues. When Ip Man and Liang Gen went to the set to find a job, Liang Gen suddenly stopped and praised a young actor for his great performance. The screen switched to a movie that everyone is familiar with. After special effects processing, the multi-screen, Not only is there no sense of abruptness, but some old movie fans can immediately guess what kind of movie it is through a few shots.

"It's "Xiaoluxiang", Bruce Lee's "Xiaoluxiang"!"

"Wow, there is Bruce Lee, I wonder if I will see Bruce Lee apprenticeship!"

"I think there should be. Think about it. Ip Man is Bruce Lee's master, and Bruce Lee is Wang Xiaohu's brother. He will definitely arrange the plot of apprenticeship in the film."

"Haha, that would be interesting, Bruce Lee worships Wang Xiaohu as his teacher!"

Such voices came and went, which was the first commotion caused by the film. The whispering voices of the audience reached Bruce Lee. He poked Wang Xiaohu in front of him and asked, "Did you arrange this plot?"

Wang Xiaohu smiled casually and said, "Wouldn't you know if you take your time?"

"I would be ashamed if you arranged it."

Bruce Lee hadn't read the script beforehand, let alone the sample film. He was really worried that Wang Xiaohu would suddenly have a bad taste and arrange such a plot to take revenge on himself.

With an uneasy heart in his heart, Bruce Lee focused his attention on the big screen again. The plot of more than ten minutes was about life: after many times when he failed to find a job, Ip Man had the idea of ​​​​opening a martial arts gym, and Jinshan looked for it. Mixed among the dock workers, embarked on the path of the underworld, and became a forty-nine kid under Hong Zhennan, the boss of the wharf and fish stall business.

Ye Wen opened a martial arts gym on the rooftop, and no one cared about it for eight consecutive days. On the ninth day, Ye Wen helped Sangu dry the clothes, and Sangu sat in the middle of the rooftop to rest.

Huang Chunliang walked up to the rooftop with the "Wing Chun Acceptance" briefing in his hand, and the third aunt looked sideways. Huang Chunliang turned his head and shouted at the third aunt, "Hey!"

Sangu was startled.

Huang Chunliang: "You teach Wing Chun?"

The third aunt was full of air at first, smiling and nodding, like the head of the sect. When Huang Chunliang frowned and wondered, the third aunt lowered her head and shouted to Ye Wen who was helping to dry the clothes: "Master Ye, someone has come to learn boxing from you!"

The audience burst into laughter immediately.

Seeing this, Shen Dianxia, ​​who played the third aunt, poked Zeng Zhiwei's arm proudly and said, "Wei Zi, how is my performance?"

Zeng Zhiwei held his chin, thought for a while and said: "Sister Feifei, you are the best supporting actress at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards!"

The whole section of master and apprentice practicing boxing is accompanied by radical and powerful percussion music. The internal and external rhythms of the screen are both fast. The audience feels that when the boxing training scenes filmed in different time periods and different motion positions are connected together, the viewing is smooth, comfortable and not blunt.

The three pieces of blue curtains hanging on the window are swayed by the wind from the outside to the inside, implying the unrest of Ye Wen’s family of three. The shot shows Ye Wen and his wife having dinner, with the swaying curtains as the background , and it is a rough meal, implying that food and clothing are the problem.

"Tuition first, tuition first."

When Ip Man was embarrassed to charge tuition fees from the students, there was a burst of laughter in the studio. The grand master was so shy even to collect tuition fees from his apprentices, making people feel the human touch that Ye Man had stolen from his bones, just like a neighbor Like a big brother, he feels alive and very kind.

As Wang Xiaohu said in an interview with reporters half a year ago: "Ip Man 2" has done a lot of detailed work in terms of life, environment, and integration into the times.

But
It would be boring for anyone to keep watching these plots in life, no matter how real, warm and kind, you must know that "Ip Man 2" is a kung fu movie, not a literary movie, let alone a romance movie.

At this time, some viewers began to lose their temper, especially those fans who were used to Wang Xiaohu's fast-paced style. In their impression, every movie Wang Xiaohu shot was a fast fight, using sharp fists and kicks , and the majestic war scenes to attract the audience.

"Ip Man 2" opens for more than ten minutes, and the whole story is about stories about life. Anyone who reads too much will get tired of it.

"Hey, are these the elements of life that Xiaohu mentioned?" Jin Yong, who was sitting in the VIP room, also began to wonder.

Run Run Shaw said: "Don't worry, I feel it's coming soon, he won't do wasted work, just like your martial arts novel, it takes tens of thousands of words to narrate, and no protagonist appears at the beginning."

After being reminded by Run Run Shaw, Jin Yong would inevitably blush. If he carefully compared his heart, what Lao Shao said hit the nail on the head. Not to mention other novels, just "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Swordsman". After the main character appeared tens of thousands of words, the heroine wished she could appear in the middle. If it weren’t for Jin Yong’s signature martial arts master, few people would have the patience to watch it.

"Among the many directors in Hong Kong, Wang Xiaohu is the No.1 who grasps the rhythm!" Yu Yongjian didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, these storylines have a Hong Kong era atmosphere. He at least saw the metaphor "Lion Mountain" in several sets of scenes. Spirit".

But he felt a little pity, because Wang Xiaohu's film would not participate in the Academy Award, otherwise, the best director, best photography, best music, best costume design, best actor and actress, best action design, I am afraid that " Ip Man 2" takes over.

Because it was too strong, too dazzling, and too heaven-defying, Wang Xiaohu gave up participating in the Academy Awards and gave up more opportunities to other film works and newcomers. Yu Yongjian couldn't find anything else besides admiration for such generosity and mind. vocabulary to describe.

BJ, in the Great Hall of the People, dozens of representatives of the Sino-British negotiations are also watching "Ip Man 2". Unlike the relaxed and lively atmosphere in major theaters, this place is a bit dull. The representatives of both sides are expressionless and serious. Staring at the big screen, no one spoke, and kept silent.

On the surface this is the case, but the representatives of both sides have different ideas in their hearts.

For example, on the Chinese side, the beginning of the nostalgic way made them feel good, smoothing out the insurmountable ceremonial nodes between the mainland and Hong Kong in a nostalgic way. From the perspective of a boxing master, the transition from World War II to the Cold War, from the Mainland to Hong Kong is natural and smooth.

The in-depth focus on personal destiny and the natural narrative clues properly bridge the identity gap between the mainland and Hong Kong due to political separation.

Fully expressing Wang Xiaohu's brilliance, it is foreseeable that after the release of "Ip Man 2", mainland audiences will be able to see the scenes of Hong Kong in the 50s. Intimacy.

Ip Man's journey from Foshan to Hong Kong just metaphorically implied the indelible relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong. kind of admiration.

As for the British representative, after watching the embargo at the pier, he feels like an overturned five-flavored bottle. The embargo is a kind of helplessness that the British Hong Kong government faced with the United Nations headed by Yankees. However, in the helplessness and compromise, the British Hong Kong government made a lot of dredging work in time, and these tasks are clearly revealed in some scenes of "Ip Man 2".

"Tiger, you really don't please both sides, and neither side can offend you!" Hong Kong governor Youde said in his heart.

A Chinese-style Hong Kong, this is the connotation reflected by the life elements in the first 2 minutes of "Ip Man 20". After Wang Xiaohu modified and processed it, it kicked off on the big screens around the world.
