Chapter 292 Shaw's Dragon Slaying (Part [-])
After finally calling Cheng Long and the talented Huang Baiming and others to go in, Chen Xiaotang turned around and looked for Wang Zuxian again, only to find that the beautiful woman had long since disappeared.

With a sigh, I only hope to meet again in the future.

Chen Xiaotang came back to his senses and continued to greet the guests who attended the premiere.

At eight o'clock, after a hard reception, all the distinguished guests including the elder brother Cheng Long were seated.

Chen Xiaotang took the place of his sixth aunt Fang Yihua to accompany them, and talked with them about his views on making this movie, and listened to their opinions.

Not long after, as the lights slowly dimmed, the movie was about to start.

The large movie screen flickered a few times, first there was a rush of music, and the classic opening pattern of the Shaw Brothers movie gradually appeared in front of the audience, and then the word "SB" was circled. Under the two words, there was a line "Shao Brothers" Produced by Shi, it must be a good product".

Speaking of the word "SB", Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but smile. In his previous life, he used to joke about it a lot, so this abbreviation is similar to "stupid", so he felt that Shaw Brothers movies are all "stupid movies", but he didn't expect that today He even became a member of the "stupid movie".

To be honest, the title of the Shaw Brothers film almost represents the entire era of Hong Kong film prosperity. The full name of Shaw Brothers Film Company is: Shaw Brothers Film Company, abbreviated as: SB, which means Shaw Brothers Company.It's not the "stupid" company that Chen Xiaotang thinks.

It is said that Shao Daheng did not spend much time designing this title and the people around him. The meaning of Shao Daheng is very simple. The title of Shaw Brothers must have the word "Shao", surrounded by a golden sea of ​​gold, which means brilliance and radiance. , with a crown-like shield in the middle, which means sticking to the city and forging ahead.The middle is the abbreviation of Shaw Brothers.In contrast, Golden Harvest Film Company's opening title is a red square that is gradually pieced together, while New Art City uses the Golden Princess Cinema Line as a carrier, directly playing the banner of "New Art City", which is even more meaningful. Concise and to the point.

In the previous life, when Chen Xiaotang enjoyed Hollywood movies, the first thing he saw was the logo of the movie company that appeared in the opening titles, such as the boy sitting on the moon fishing in DreamWorks, the roaring lion of MGM, and Fox with the words 20th Century FOX signboards, etc., and there are some interesting stories hidden behind these signs
For example, the boy sitting on the moon fishing in the logo of DreamWorks Pictures is the son of Hunter, the designer of this logo, William; the woman holding the torch in the logo of Columbia Pictures is an actress under the company. .

These well-designed opening titles can make the audience remember deeply. This is like a brand, which can create incalculable economic value in the future, so Chen Xiaotang is very interested in the design of opening titles, because in his heart, if he opens up a new company in the future The film company of the world will definitely design an awesome logo, which is refreshing and breathtaking.

Looking back at this time, as an established film company in Hong Kong, although Shaw Brothers has gradually reduced production in recent years, in the eyes of the majority of Hong Kong audiences, the glory of Shaw Brothers films is irreplaceable, so seeing this familiar title, With the passionate music, everyone couldn't help but lifted their spirits and stared at the big screen intently.

On the big screen, the movie started slowly. On the screen, the camera went straight up the steps. In the big camera, a big cauldron sprayed flames, and flags waved on both sides.

A chivalrous young man wields the dragon-slaying saber, and a chivalrous woman wields the Yitian sword. The two of them fly into the air and strike each other with their swords in the air.

At this time, the narration begins: The hero Guo Jing and the heroine Huang Rong joined the Tian Tian Tie Jing to cast the black iron sword of the hero Yang Guo into a knife and a sword. The secrets of learning including Yue Fei's art of war and the world's number one martial arts cheat book "Nine Yin Manual" are hidden on the sword. Whoever can get it can dominate the world!
The camera expanded, and I saw a large group of martial arts heroes, wearing white clothes, red clothes, black clothes, and purple clothes, waving weapons in their hands in black, shouting around the cauldron: "Wulin Supreme! Wulin Supreme!" The passionate music sounded, deafening , with great momentum.

The lens gradually freezes on the cross of swords and swords, the golden color is shining and the atmosphere is incomparable.

Such an opening alone highlights the difference between this drama and previous Hong Kong movies. It is rare for Hong Kong movies to be majestic. Even the Qing Palace series shot by Li Hanxiang during the Shaw Brothers' most popular period has only three or four hundred tricks. It's not like this, it's a shot of thousands of people as soon as it comes out, it's simply breathtaking.

A film master once said that the beginning of a play is equivalent to writing a composition. The tone of the beginning determines the content of the later part of the filming.If your tone is good enough, then the next drama will definitely be worth watching. Otherwise, you should get out of your seat early to pee.

After such a majestic opening title, a martial arts cartoon appeared, followed by the words "The Lord of the Devil's Cult" appeared, and along with the subtitles, the soundtrack of this movie also resounded.

The sound of suona was accompanied by the sound of passionate drums, and a few cannons, blasting the sky and destroying the earth.The flames of war were everywhere, and the major sects of the martial arts waved their flags to attack each other, tens of thousands of horses were galloping, and dust and smoke billowed.The momentum at the end is terrifying.

Narrator: From then on, people in the martial arts, regardless of evil and good, set off countless bloody storms in order to compete for these two peerless weapons.

In the close-up, the abbot of Shaolin, played by Chen Xiaotang's former big brother Dingye, is waving a Zen stick, and with a Zen stick, he beats people upside down.Speaking of which, Master Ding is just right to play such a role. After all, his head has been bald for a long time, and he doesn't even need to wear a monk's hat to play the bald donkey.

Next to Master Ding, the crow who donated a head of beautiful hair for the movie, played by the monk who played the "dragon claw hand", I grabbed it! ! !The enemy was caught bloody, and his skin was ripped apart! ! !

In the narration, the camera is constantly changing, vividly interpreting the fighting between the various schools of martial arts.

Next to it is the introduction of the six sects in the movie. Master Ding and his crows belong to the Shaolin sect, while Dasang and his subordinates belong to the Kongtong sect.There are also Liu Qingyun, Tao Dayu, Wu Qihua and other people forming the Wudang sect, Wu Zhenyu and Ouyang Zhenhua are the "two elders of Huashan", and they also brought a large group of people, awesome...

As the story unfolds, the first movie clip is that Zheng Shaoqiu, who played Zhang Cuishan, and Zhao Yazhi, who played Yin Susu, appeared on the camera together. They brought Xiao Zhang Wuji back to the Central Plains from Binghuo Island.

In this scene, Zheng Shaoqiu showed his heroic demeanor and portrayed Zhang Cuishan's chivalrous character very well. A few simple actions and a few lines gave people a righteous image.

Then the actor who played the role of "Second Elder Xuanming" came on stage and started a fight with Zheng Shaoqiu.

The shooting of this fighting scene is very exciting, especially the shot of two people interlacing their hands in the air and spinning in the air, which can be described as extremely handsome.Fortunately, Zheng Shaoqiu also has some kung fu background and is used to filming martial arts dramas, so it is not difficult to do it.It made the audience under the screen mesmerized.

"Too bad, Zhang Cuishan can't beat Xuanming and Elder!"

"Yeah, these two scoundrels are amazing!"

"I'm afraid it's going to get worse!"

"It hurts to see a good person being bullied!"

……

As the plot of the story progressed, the audience below began to worry.

As soon as the camera turned, a huge body leaped out, occupying the entire big screen.

I saw this person who suddenly came out, he was very skillful, fighting Xuanming and the elders alone.

The three of them were crackling and fighting very lively.

Some magical elements are added to this action scene, that is, when clapping hands, ice will burst out and freeze people.

People are stunned to see such magical skills, which greatly satisfies people's imagination.

Although the two old monsters Xuanming were very skilled, they were even more skilled in killing that person suddenly, and they knocked the two old monsters away in just three or two hits.

Only then did the audience feel relieved.

At this time, the eyes of the audience suddenly lit up, "Hey, isn't Hong Jinbao playing the fat old man?"

"That's right, it really is Hong Jinbao, so he played Zhang Sanfeng!" The audience who first recognized the actor as Hong Jinbao shouted.

He yelled that the other audiences were also interested. He didn't expect that there would be so many big names in this show, and if he took a closer look, who else would appear next.

At this moment, no one would have imagined that the people who were watching the movie would start the game of "finding stars" with sharp eyesight and quick hands.

As the film's storyline progresses, there is more and more surprise.

"Aha, isn't this Xie Xian who plays Yang Tiexin? He actually plays Song Qingshu's father!"

"And this, isn't that 'old naughty boy' Qin Huang? He actually plays the head of the Kongtong faction!"

"And this one, this one—aren't they Wu Zhenyu and Ouyang Zhenhua? I'll pick, the two old Huashan are so funny!"

……

Then the story unfolded to the scene where "Wudang Zhang Sanfeng" played by Hong Jinbao competed with "Huo Gong Toutuo" played by Shi Jian.

This clip can be said to be a landslide throughout the movie, and the fighting is extremely fierce.

But on the big screen, waving his hand was like an energy ball, and swaying his feet was like a gust of wind. The surrounding trees were interrupted one after another, and the rocks were cracked.

The two of you come and go, you come and go, the flying dragon is in the sky, and the dragon has regrets——
The spectators around were dazzled and dizzy.

On the screen, Hong Jinbao and Shi Jian, who are used to acting as masters, performed the superb skills of these two peerless masters very well. Hong Jinbao's laughter and cursing, and Shi Jian's arrogance were all displayed on their respective expressions.In terms of action design, Hong Jinbao's tolerance is great, and his demeanor of a master of bones and immortals can also be displayed on his obese body; The fierceness of death and the fierceness of killing people are also vividly displayed.
