Living in the Hong Kong Film World

Chapter 628 Grandpa Huo is Here

"oops!"

Although I have read the instructions for watching the movie, when the picture came out, some people in the audience exclaimed, which caused a lot of laughter.

Seeing the clear picture presented on the curtain, the audience all stared at the scene in the picture, amazed again and again.

Shadow puppetry does not have such a real and clear picture, it is no different from watching a real person.

In addition to the general audience, there were a few people in the hall who didn't just come to watch the movie.

The few middle-aged men in the front row whispered to each other. They were the directors of several movie theaters outside the concession.

The publicity that Feinan has created in the past few days has been huge. Even the films of famous Western actors have never created such a big battle. As people in the industry, how could they not be curious?

Ever since, they asked their subordinates to secretly line up and buy a few tickets for the front row, and came to check the wind.

Watching the movie, they whispered and discussed in low voices.

"It's kind of like that, isn't it?"

"It was really taken by a Chinese? The quality is good!"

"Go back and ask, see if I can get a tape back."

"Can you make money? Boss Lei doesn't know what to think. A ticket is only three to five hundred coppers, and you can get rebates with the ticket. In the end, you only get one or two hundred coppers. It's enough to earn electricity bills. It's too much money to burn." ?"

"That's right, Boss Lei didn't do Dayang's business, but came here to sell coins. Is it because he thinks money is hot?"

"I don't think this foreign devil has any good ideas. You see, the theaters where this movie is shown are all opened by a bunch of foreigners, and they keep the ticket prices so low. It's clear that they won't give us a way out. ah!"

"Yes! I think they want to gather people to them. As long as people watch, even if the ticket price is low, they can make back their money. When people come to them, we have to drink Northwest It's windy!"

"Why are you afraid of him? If he is willing to lose money, let him pay for it! Look, he has brought so many poor ghosts into such a good theater, and is selling standing tickets, opening it as a bathhouse?"

"That is, who would want to hang out with these poor ghosts? Anyone who has a certain status is still willing to go to a cleaner place, don't be afraid! Let's earn our oceans and let these foreign devils earn copper coins!"

……

In the center of the third row, Shankou Xiangzi vaguely listened to their discussion, thoughtfully.

She learned from Feng Jingyao that the members of the Jingwu Association have recently produced a movie, and they are making a big deal of it, and it will be released today.

Ever since, Koko Yamaguchi asked her subordinates to inquire secretly, while she came here in disguise, intending to see for herself what the movie is about.

Soon, the movie came to the first close-up shot, which was the scene of "Horndi" instructing "Huo Yuanjia" to practice boxing.

"The punch should be straight, and the fist should be closed."

When a man's voice came from behind the movie curtain as the mouths of the characters in the picture opened and closed, the audience didn't react and were still talking and laughing.

Immediately afterwards, Huanhuan, who played the role of childhood Huo Tingen, strode forward and said in a childish voice, "Father, my leg hurts."

The audience with the children looked down at the children beside them before they realized it. When they looked up again, their mouths were already wide open.

Soon, more and more viewers noticed this situation. After confirming it several times, there was a low cry of surprise at the scene.

"The people in there are talking!"

"Is there someone talking behind that cloth?"

After being surprised, the audience who were still talking and laughing couldn't help lowering their voices, because the voice wasn't too loud, and if it was too loud, they wouldn't be able to hear what was being said.

Gradually, the audience in the hall slowly quieted down, staring at the curtain intently and listening to the lines, except for occasional coughing, almost no one spoke.

In the cinemas of this period, because silent films were being played, the halls were generally noisy.

This is the first time that such a quiet viewing environment has appeared.

The biggest advantage of a quiet viewing environment is that it allows the audience to quickly enter the plot.

Soon, the audience was completely immersed in the plot, following Huo Yuanjia's perspective, watching him gradually grow into an adult.

Soon, the plot came to the first small climax, that is, the grown-up "Huo Yuanjia" came to the dock to work as a stevedore. The gangster rolled all over the floor and ran away with his head in his arms.

The fighting scenes in this movie were all choreographed by Huo Tingen, Chen Zhen, and Jing Wu brothers.

Feinan has only one requirement for martial arts scenes, and that is to be real, with punches to the flesh.

After choreography and rehearsal, the effect of the fighting scene was very remarkable, and the whole audience watched with enthusiasm, clapping their hands and applauding desperately, wave after wave.

Soon, "Huo Yuanjia" in the movie went south with Nong Jinsun and other brothers because of the turmoil in Peking, and came to Shanghai to develop.

The scene of him bidding farewell to his relatives on the bow resonated with many viewers. Many people in Shanghai are not locals, and they are all like "Huo Yuanjia" in the film. They left their hometown for various reasons and came here to develop.

Many viewers couldn't help wiping their tears when they saw Xiaohui, who played the role of "Huo Yuanjia"'s wife, standing on the pier and waving her hands.

But soon, smiles appeared on the faces of the audience again, because "Huo Yuanjia" who came to Shanghai has developed very well. Together with several brothers, he founded the Jingwu Sports Club, accepted many apprentices, and taught them how to practice boxing. Practice martial arts. "

During the period, "Huo Yuanjia" gave lectures to his apprentices, such as "don't be a subjugated slave", "a weak country has no dignity", "to make a strong country, you must first strengthen your body", "China is the China of every Chinese" and so on. Their blood was boiling, their necks were stiffened, their fists were clenched, and their faces were flushed.

These words spoke to their hearts.

"Master Huo is doing great!"

"It really makes us Chinese proud!"

Some audience members who were too involved in the play couldn't help clapping their hands and shouting.

But some viewers couldn't help muttering: "Didn't this martial artist surnamed Huo die a few days ago?"

Without time to think about it, the plot has reached its second climax.

In the picture, a fat French strongman standing on the ring raised a wine barrel and dropped it.

He yelled at the camera, cursed loudly, and finally, with a grim face, he gave a little thumb and yelled in blunt Chinese: "Chinese, it's useless!"

The audience couldn't understand French, but they heard this sentence clearly, and the hall immediately exploded.

"What did the foreign devil say?"

"Isn't this bullying?"

"It's fucking crazy! Looking for a beating, isn't it?"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, pointing at the curtain and yelling endlessly.

At the edge of the hall, there are thugs and security guards maintaining law and order, but they turn a blind eye to this, because they are also angrily waving their fists at the screen, fully immersed in the plot.

"That foreign devil is going crazy! Your grandfather Huo is here!"

In the picture, a nimble figure turned over to the ring and landed steadily, and the camera stepped forward to give a close-up.

"it is good!"

In the hall, the audience shouted hello in unison, and the applause was like thunder!
