152【Phenomenal Movie】
Hilton Taipei Hotel.
After Su Rui and other makeup artists finished their work, she sorted out the black leather jacket on her body to prepare to go on stage.
Seven years ago, when the Taipei Hilton Hotel just opened, Su Rui became the first resident singer here. She sang here in obscurity for two years before the hotel manager recommended the resident singer of the Hilton Hotel in Hong Kong, and she sang there for another three years.
During this period, Su Rui participated in singing competitions and released records, but she just couldn't become famous.
It’s not that Su Rui sang poorly, nor that she looked ugly. The biggest problem is that her singing style is too hard, which is completely incompatible with the popular tender female voices.
This is a very serious problem. Just like Zhen Zidan in the 1980s, she is very good-looking and handsome, but she just can't make a big name. Because his aura is too cold, the audience in the 1980s likes down-to-earth stars like Cheng Long.
"Miss Su, it's time for you to play."
The hotel staff ran over and reminded that if it were placed in the past, this person would definitely: "Get ready quickly, it's time for you to play."
As soon as the person is blushing, the tone of the people around you will change to you.
"If you don't have any wine,
If you sell wine,
If you sell wine, you can't sell it
…”
Several preludes rang in the hotel restaurant. The guests who were not paying attention to the song suddenly stopped and turned to look on the stage.
When Su Rui appeared in a black leather jacket, all the guests were very surprised and took advantage of the gap after the prelude to applaud and shouted suddenly.
"Su Rui, Su Rui!"
"If you sell wine, you won't have any."
“Go to the wrong car!”
“…”
At this moment, Su Rui listened to the crazy shouts from the audience. She felt moved to cry.
This is Su Rui's first performance after returning to Taiwan. She specially chose this stage where she sang for two years.
After the release of the original soundtrack of "The Wrong Car", Su Rui instantly became a household name in Taiwan in just ten days.
Such a drastic change is simply because of a movie, a movie soundtrack.
In terms of box office popularity, "Hit the Wrong Car" is not much better than "Mr. Zombie". However, due to social influence, "Hit the Wrong Car" has to get rid of the latter several streets. There are several reasons:
At this time, the political atmosphere in Taiwan is very depressing, and film and television works with realistic themes are difficult to pass the review, so directors often shoot martial arts films and Qiong Yao films that are not related to reality. Just like Wang Jujin, who just won the Golden Horse Awards, they just rely on filming ancient themes to discuss modern social issues. Any movie that focuses on reality can only gain the support of the inspirational and struggled content.
Once a movie with realistic theme is successfully released in Taiwan, it will inevitably cause great success, such as "The Duck Raising Family" in the 1960s and "A Boat in the Ocean" in the 1970s. Both of these movies caused a sensation when they were released.
"Hit the Wrong Car" was released in the original time and space. Even when it was released three years later, the Taiwanese authorities were bothered by the film. The name of this movie was "Drink Drinking and Selling Nothing". Later, it was stuck in the review for false charges. In order to avoid trouble, it was changed to "Hit the Wrong Car".
The same is true for the movie Kang Jianfei filming now. When he was first given for review, he was shot directly by the Taiwan Inspection Office. Movies of this kind of theme must not be released.
Later, the Bamboo Alliance Gang played a role. Yu Kanping found Hua Jizhong, and Hua Jizhong came to Wu Dun to discuss. Then the two contacted a filmmaker named Shuai Yufeng, and then used Shuai Yufeng to join the famous director Bai Jingrui, and Bai Jingrui came up with the idea to contact Mei Changling, the boss of the former China Film Company and the current general manager of China Television.
After a long circle, Yu Kanping met with Chen Xun, who had just been discharged from the hospital, and screened "Hitting the Wrong Car" for Mei Changling.
Mr. Mei is old and has no moral character. He has always supported and encouraged young filmmakers and is eager to achieve good development in Taiwanese films. After watching "The Wrong Car", Mei Changling immediately agreed to take the Film Inspection Office to review himself.
Mei Changling's qualifications are too old. The people in the Inspection Office are all his disciples and they have no courage to refuse him, but they dare not agree to pass the review of the movie.
In the end, this movie was repeated. Due to Mei Changling's disdain to work hard, it was actually reported to Comrade Xiao Jiang, the highest leader in Taiwan. Xiao Jiang was very busy at work and naturally had no time to watch movies. However, he wrote a comment on "Doing a Bold" and passed the review of the Electric Inspection Office.
In fact, Taiwan is now very open to film and television works. It was allowed to appear in the movies in two or three years ago, but the people who are doing specific things below are afraid of making mistakes and are unable to let go.
After some twists and turns, "Hatching the Wrong Car" was finally officially released.
As a result, as long as Taiwan’s realistic films can be released, they will definitely be successful. If the plot of this kind of film is very good, then a huge sensation will follow.
Taiwanese audiences who have been tired of watching various martial arts and love movies for a long time suddenly discovered a movie that was close to their real life and immediately called their friends to walk into the cinema.
The first rimage of "The Wrong Car" was released, but the box office was only average. The attendance rate increased rapidly the next day, and the third day was full, and the fourth day was still full.
In another time and space, due to the release problem, "The Wrong Car" was squeezed out after half a month of release. After the painting was lost, the release was rescheduled due to the strong demands of the audience. This time, the movie was re-released eight times within five months.
This time it was different. The distribution work was done well, and the bamboo alliance gang was guarding me, so the gangs usually dared not come to steal the theater.
Less than a month after its release, the box office of "Have the Wrong Car" has reached more than NT$20 million, and the song "Drinks and Sells Without Wine" also appeared in the streets and alleys of Taiwan.
Until the original soundtrack of "The Wrong Car" was released, the record was also crazy. On the Mandarin song rankings in Taiwan, the two songs "Same Moonlight" and "Drink Dry and Selling Without" were always at the forefront, and even the title song of Teresa Teng's new album could only be honestly ranked third.
Not only that, "Hitting for the Wrong Car" also caused a great discussion in the Taiwanese world. Writers discussed the human relationship shown in "Hitting for the Wrong Car" in the column. Then there was social discussion between various media, and even the ziyou elements used the film to show social development contradictions to attack the Taiwan authorities. Conservative media made several bans on the screening of "Hit for the Wrong Car".
As soon as the original soundtrack of "Hit the Wrong Car" was released, it dropped a bombshell in the music scene in Taiwan.
In the history of Taiwanese music, "Hitting the Wrong Car" and Luo Dayou's "Zhihuzheye" are ranked as the watershed between the campus folk song era and the modern pop music era, and is another revolution in the Taiwanese music scene.
Now, Luo Dayou's "Zhihuzheye" has not yet been released, but "Hitting the Wrong Car" has been released three years in advance. The impact it has caused is profound.
Several years later, the record "Hit the Wrong Car" was revered as the pioneer of modern Taiwanese pop music, and Kang Jianfei, who wrote lyrics and composers for him, was also known as the founder of modern Taiwanese pop music together with Su Rui.
This is not mentioned later.
After the movie "Hitting the Wrong Car" was hit, the three of them became famous.
The first one is the male lead in the movie, Sun Yue, who plays Li Saifeng's father in the movie. This old actor who just turned 50 years old was always playing supporting roles, but now he has become a top-tier movie star in Taiwan.
The second one is Su Rui. As a song on the original soundtrack of the movie, she had a terrifying fan base within a few days. She was not just promoted to a first-line song, but instead launched a revolutionary challenge to the aesthetic style represented by Teresa Teng and Liu Zheng.
The third one is the heroine Li Saifeng. She became famous in Taiwan because of "Mr. Zombies". Now she starred in "The Wrong Car", which made her famous in Taiwan.
As for Chen Xunqi and Yu Kanping as directors, there are not many ordinary people paying attention to it except those in the circle.
After the film was released for a while, kmt's party newspaper "zhongyāngri" came out to join in the fun, saying that "Hooking the Wrong Car" is a work of the times, reflecting and showing some problems in the development of Taiwan's society. But it is undeniable that Taiwan's development has achieved great success in recent years, which can be seen from the life of the protagonist's family in the film. Therefore, Lao Jiang and Comrade Jiang are very powerful, leading the people to move forward with a better tomorrow...
Since the "Zhongyāngri" is like this, it sets the tone for the movie "Hit the Wrong Car". No media dares to shout bans on the screen again, but discusses around "Hit the Wrong Car".
How popular is this movie?
Even the entertainment programs of TV stations are used as the topic of "Hitting the Wrong Car".
Taiwan’s professional film magazine "Influence" published: "...There are two directors of the movie "Hit the Wrong Car", one is Hong Kong filmmaker Chen Xunqi, and the other is Taiwanese director Yu Kanping. Chen Xunqi is a musician and sets the artistic tone for this musical and dance film. Although he went to the hospital for trouble in the middle of the film, his contribution to the film was huge. As for Yu Kanping, he is a Taiwanese local director, very familiar with the customs of Taiwan, and provides rich social connotations for "Hit the Wrong Car"...
Both directors are very powerful characters, but one person has to mention it, that is, the planner of "The Wrong Car", screenwriter and investor Kang Jianfei...
Most Taiwanese people know Kang Jianfei because of his scandal with Lin Qingxia, but his reputation in the Taiwanese film industry was achieved through his strength...
From a certain perspective, today's Taiwanese film industry can be called "Kang Jian Fei Nian". One film directed and acted by him, and the other film "The Wrong Car" written by him has completely overwhelmed the limelight of all the movies this year and caused a sensation. Especially "The Wrong Car" can be called a phenomenal movie. In any corner of Taiwan, you will hear someone talking about this movie or singing songs from this movie..."
