This kind of midnight culture is unique on Hong Kong Island.
So.
Don't look at the premiere at midnight, but in fact, there are more than 100 movie theaters on Hong Kong Island, almost all of which are full...
(Of course, the screening hall on Hong Kong Island is not the same as the state-run cinema in the mainland, it is not that big, and a screening hall can accommodate about 300 people.) )
Of course.
It's not uncommon for the midnight show to be full.
Really good and bad.
After the midnight screening, we will see how the audience reacts...
Yau Tsim Mong District, Mong Kok.
In a movie in Mong Kok, in the middle row, there are seven or eight people wearing peaked caps with low brims.
In the middle is a young man, and on his left hand side is a beautiful woman who knows that she must be super beautiful just by looking at her back.
This group of people is naturally Su Ye and the main actors of "The Dragon City Years of Black Society".
Liang Jiahui, Ren Dahua, Gu Tianle and others were all present...
"I'm a little nervous, what if I'm scolded by the audience when the meeting is over?"
Qiu Shuzhen held Su Ye's arm a little nervously.
Fortunately, the screening hall was dark, but she couldn't see clearly that her jade hand was wrapped around Su Ye's little arm.
Qiu Shuzhen used to shoot small productions that were not very popular, so naturally there was no such thing as a midnight show.
The midnight show is tested by the audience, and it is not a dog or cat movie that can be played, otherwise Hong Kong Island produces more than 1,000 movies every year, wouldn't the midnight show be crowded every day...
The first is that the film crew is confident in itself, and the second is that there is a relative standard, and bad movies that do not meet the standards will not come to the midnight show to be boring.
"Huh."
Hearing this, before Su Ye could speak, Liang Jiahui, Ren Dahua and others around him had already laughed good-naturedly.
"An-la, our movie will definitely be a big hit."
"That is, instead of worrying about being scolded by the audience, it is better to worry that the response will be too good for a while, and the audience will not let us go..."
"I have confidence in Director Su!"
Liang Jiahui, Ren Dahua and others said. 423
Qiu Shuzhen: ...
Feed!
When you say that, doesn't it seem that I have no confidence in Su Ye?
It's not like that, it's the first time I've participated in the midnight event, and I'm just a little nervous...
Su Ye held Qiu Shuzhen's jade hand and chuckled: "Don't pay attention to them, I know you pull it, don't worry." "
At this time, the screening room was completely darkened.
The big screen lights up, and the movie officially begins...
At the beginning of the movie, it is a solemn incense hall.
Some young men knelt in front of the incense table topless, holding incense sticks in both hands.
Over here.
The entrance ceremony of Hongmen is being held.
A voice came out in the film.
"The first oath: Since entering the Hongmen, your parents are my parents, your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, your wife is my sister-in-law, and your nephews are also my sons and nephews.
"The second oath; If there are brothers and parents, a hundred years of life, no silver to be buried, it is necessary to notify the brothers, there is money to contribute, strong contribution, in order to finish the matter, if there is fraud and ignorance, five thunders will be destroyed! "
"The third oath: All my Hongmen brothers, regardless of Shinong, industry and commerce, and guests of the rivers and lakes, must be taken in when they come, two meals a day, if they do not think about kindness, do not know about fraud, and those who look at each other by outsiders will die under ten thousand knives!"
"The fourth oath: All the brothers of the Hong family, those who do not know each other, as long as they report the incision and confirm that the brothers of the Hong family are correct, they must recognize each other, and if they do not recognize them, they will die under ten thousand knives!"
"The fifth oath: All my Hongmen brothers, shall not kill each other, shall not lead outsiders to kill their own brothers, if there is a grudge, I must pass on all the brothers, judge their merits, and make a decision, and do not hold a grudge. If you violate this oath, you will be killed with three knives and six holes, and five thunders! "
"Sixth oath: Brother Hongmen, you must not commit adultery with your brother and sister-in-law..."
"The Seventh Oath: ..."
The precepts of Hongmen, along with the green smoke rising from the incense hall, echoed in the ears of the newcomers who worshiped Hongmen, and also echoed in the ears of the audience in the screening hall.
This solemn scene immediately brought a thick sense of history.
Epic is coming!
Let all the audience almost have a kind of immersion, as if they are watching a live broadcast of the real Hongmen Kaishan Gate apprentices...
"Oh my God, this momentum is so realistic, I have goosebumps all over my body!"
"It's just such a picture, it's all gone!"
"Seriously, is this Hongmen really so strict, I want to go to Hongmen..."
"Stupid, Hongmen is long gone, and now there are only triad criminal organizations on Hong Kong Island."
"But to be honest, this picture, this line, is too emotional!"
Just such an opening scene has already made the audience in the screening hall feel the blood in their bodies, and they are boiling for a while.
Compared with "The Dragon City Years of Black Society", the club films I watched before are also called underworld films?
Those flying boys and crazy boys on Hong Kong Island are also worthy of being called underworld characters?
It's like a child's house!
Look at the organization of the Hongmen, this rule, and this strictness, this is called the underworld...
No doubt.
The movie has just begun, and everyone is already hooked.
It's a movie they've never seen before...
It's too treadful!
......
With the end of the Hongmen Kaixiangtang at the beginning, the movie has also entered the narrative on the right track.
As the largest community on Hong Kong Island, Heliansheng inherited from Hongmen in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, but after nearly a hundred years of historical changes, it only has a framework left.
It's like the god card on the incense table.
It seems to be solemn and dignified.
But actually...
After all, it's just a piece of wood!
The so-called oath is not worth mentioning in the face of interests.
With the beginning of the two-year gang talker election, the two factions led by Big D Liang Jiahui and Le Shao Ren Dahua launched a bloody and brutal internal struggle for power...
What kind of brotherly righteousness, it's all bullshit, it's worthless in front of meaning!
And what about the audience?
They have long been stunned...
In the 80s, romantic heroism was popular on Hong Kong Island, and in the 90s, Cheng Long-style action comedies were popular on Hong Kong Island.
One thing these two genres have in common is that they are both unreal. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) )
Endless bullets, undead Xiaoqiang.
The protagonist always has to die at the end, in the arms of the person he loves the most, or in the arms of his brother... (bfaa)
It's all basic routines.
And Cheng Long, that's a comedy.
Otherwise, the hottest club movie in the 90s would be the "Crazy Boy" series? []
The Crazy Boy series is a biased and realistic, completely different style from these two genres, and when it came out, it was not only a smash hit on Hong Kong Island, but also popular throughout Southeast Asia, and it also influenced a whole generation of young people in the mainland.
Until twenty years later.
On the short video APP in the mainland, there are also Internet celebrities who are imitating the image of the old boy in the 90s to make money by fans...
But.
The Crazy Boy series focuses on the gangsters on the street.
In front of "Black Society: Dragon City Years", the Crazy Boy series is a younger brother.
Originally.
After watching the Crazy Boy, the audience on Hong Kong Island felt wow, it's so real, it's so good.
But when I watched "The Dragon City Years of Black Society" today, I immediately felt that the Crazy Boy series was actually an urban adult fairy tale, which was also fake.
Instead.
It is this underworld style presented in "Black Society: Dragon City Years" that is the epitome of the real original underworld world...
A hundred minutes is sometimes a long time, and sometimes, it feels too short, how can time pass so quickly?
For example, in the current midnight screening room.
When "The Dragon City Years of Black Society" was played to the end, and Da D and his wife died tragically under the knife men sent out by Le Shao to ambush, the audience suddenly realized that a hundred minutes had passed.
The movie also came to an end.
"! I had forgotten the passage of time! "
"There are no urine spots in the whole film, and I am so nervous that I don't dare to blink..."
"It's so exciting!"
"It turns out that the underworld bosses are so ruthless..."
"Nonsense! If you are not ruthless, you can be a big man? "
"Obviously, there are no very fierce action scenes, but why, I just think this movie is ruthless enough, cruel enough, and bloody enough?"
"The goosebumps never stopped the whole time..."
"This movie is so good, isn't it? I didn't expect that the original club film could be filmed like this! It feels better than all the previous yakuza movies..."
The audience watched it well, and almost no one went to the toilet the whole time, for fear of missing any wonderful shots.
At last.
When the film ended, the big screen dimmed, and the entire screening hall returned to light, the audience stood up and looked at Su Ye and others sitting in the middle excitedly and excitedly.
"Bang Bang—"
"Bang Bang
The applause on the thunderous side instantly rang out in the screening hall of the midnight show.
"Well shot, director! It's so sharp."
"The director signed me!"
"This movie is definitely the box office champion of Hong Kong films this year, if not, I gnawed on the chairs in the screening room!"
"! I can see that I'm still like I've been electrified, and I'm still trembling, so the director can't have personal experience... It's so real! "
Hundreds of spectators didn't leave at all, and they all enthusiastically surrounded Su Ye and them, shouting one after another...
Obviously.
"The Dragon City Years of Black Society" exploded!
The first intuitive reaction to the movie's explosion was the box office that was recovered at midnight.
Just one screening, more than one million box office was recovered!
More than a million, doesn't seem very remarkable?
But don't forget, it's just a midnight show...
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of word-of-mouth.
At the end of the midnight show, everyone in the audience who left the audience had an unfinished expression on their faces, eagerly discussing the plot of the movie.
And after these people went back, they turned into tap water, and worked hard to recommend "The Dragon City Years of Black Society" to their friends and relatives...
"Wei Zai, let me tell you, I went to see the midnight premiere of "Black Society: Dragon City Years" yesterday night, and my dick exploded! My cold hair stood on end the whole time! "
"I definitely don't lie to you, this movie is really good."
"Super sharp! Compared to it, the previous gang movies on Hong Kong Island were all garbage! "
"No, my blood is boiling, I have to watch it again today..."
Conversations like this are happening in every corner of Hong Kong Island.
Watching the midnight show yesterday night, there were about 200 movie theaters on Hong Kong Island, and four or five thousand audiences, all of which became mobile movie promoters...
In this case, as soon as there is any wind and grass, the Hong Kong Island media will immediately follow, and they don't care that Su Ye, the director, is a "mainland boy", so they have taken advantage of the popularity and reported it.
So.
Don't look at the premiere at midnight, but in fact, there are more than 100 movie theaters on Hong Kong Island, almost all of which are full...
(Of course, the screening hall on Hong Kong Island is not the same as the state-run cinema in the mainland, it is not that big, and a screening hall can accommodate about 300 people.) )
