160 【Applause like waves】

In the premiere hall, Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan, the founders of "Movie Biweekly", have already put down their pens.

"The Royal Sister" really has nothing to record. It is a completely commercial action film with no ideological and artistic connotation.

However, this film is a major breakthrough in Hong Kong films in terms of shooting and production, which brought great shock to Chen Bosen and the others.

Sitting between Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan was a middle-aged beauty wearing black-framed glasses and a bookish face.

"Sister Tang, what do you think of this movie?" Chen Bosen asked the woman respectfully.

The woman commented: "From the perspective of commercial movies, this "Senior Sister Royal" is a top-notch work even if it is put in Hollywood."

Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan did not expect that the woman had such a high evaluation of "The Royal Sister". Wang Zhonghan asked: "If this movie is sold to the United States, is it possible to get a good box office?"

The woman said, "It's hard to say. The box office results of Chinese films in the North American market are first based on operation, secondly, luck, and thirdly, the quality of the film."

Chen Bosen asked in confusion: "Why is the quality of the film still following luck?"

The woman smiled and said, "For example, the Hong Kong film "The First Fist of the World" a few years ago, do you think it is better than Bruce Lee's movie? But this movie was the ninth annual box office in North America that year, far more than Bruce Lee's movies that year. The success of this movie is first of all, it is operating well, and its publicity and distribution work is done well; the second is that it is lucky. When it was released, there was no strong film in the United States to compete for box office. In addition to the kung fu style triggered by Bruce Lee, I really can't find any other advantages in that movie except for the editing of that movie."

Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan looked like they were taught, and then continued to watch the "Senior Sister Royal" being screened.

Who is this woman?

It actually made Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan so respectful.

She is the famous Hong Kong female director Tang Shuxuan. The Hong Kong movie Xinhuan Movement, which is now in full swing, was first proposed in her film magazine "Big Features" two years ago.

Last year, Tang Shuxuan and her husband immigrated to the United States. Before she left Hong Kong, she stopped the movie magazine "Big Features" and the magazine editor Chen Bosen and others came out to create the "Movie Biweekly". It can be said that Tang Shuxuan's "Big Features" is the predecessor of "Movie Biweekly", because the staff teams and publications of the two magazines are in line with each other.

Tang Shuxuan had already insisted on creating art films in Hong Kong in the late 1960s, and her first film was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival. Eight years ago, when Wen Ge was at the most tide in Hong Kong, Tang Shuxuan's second film was filmed with Wen Ge themes, and this movement was analyzed and reflected on. This movie passed the review in Hong Kong more than a month ago. If it wanted to be released, it would have to wait at least five or six years.

In a sense, Tang Shuxuan can be regarded as the mother of Hong Kong movies. She has a very high status among the new Hong Kong filmmakers. Like Chen Bosen and Wang Zhonghan, they were just younger brothers who followed Tang Shuxuan's butt to run magazines.

On the big screen, the chaotic fighting scene in the restaurant has ended, but the audience is still immersed in the shocking scene just now. The scene of bullets flying around and lightning four shès is too exciting and enjoyable for the audience today, especially the scene where Hiroyuki Sanada grabbed the villain's hair and smashed four or five glasses with his face, which made the audience feel relieved and amazed. The scene where he used his face to break the glass was shot to the end, and there was no cut at all.

The villain who killed Hiroshi Sanada's wife and daughter was finally killed by Hiroshi Sanada's personal hand, and the depression accumulated in the audience was also vented. The plot slowly continued, with many funny plots interspersed in the middle, which made the audience relax and laugh happily.

But at this moment, the plane escort played by Kang Jianfei was caught by the last villain and fell on the exterior wall of the tall building to attract Lin Qingxia to fall into the trap.

When "The Royal Sister" is screened here, there should actually be three protagonists, namely Lin Qingxia, Sanada Hiroyuki and Kang Jianfei. According to the general plot of the movie, naturally, Lin Qingxia chased her to the rooftop to fight wits and courage with the villain, and then successfully rescued Kang Jianfei.

But the plot development was completely beyond the audience's expectations.

In the original work, the villain talks with the heroine on the phone number, but there is no big brother in Hong Kong yet, so Kang Jianfei changes it to a high-power walkie-talkie. The villain calls Lin Qingxia in advance and asks Lin Qingxia to go to the telephone booth near the Central Land Plaza, and then asks Lin Qingxia to take the intercom he puts in the phone booth to make a call.

Kang Jianfei saw that Lin Qingxia was about to be led upstairs, so in order not to let his sweetheart go to danger, he was hanging upside down on the high building, and he bent down with difficulty to untie the rope that the villain tied to his legs.

Seeing that Kang Jianfei was about to untied the rope and committed suicide, the villain quickly pulled him to the rooftop.

Just as the audience was expecting Kang Jianfei to be pulled to the rooftop and then counterattacked and escaped while the villain was not paying attention, Kang Jianfei suddenly grinned and suddenly untied the rope just one arm away from the rooftop.

In the air, the second male lead played by Kang Jianfei danced in his hands and feet, and broke through the glass shed of the building with a "bang" and fell to the ground with the shattered glass.

"Ah!" Just as Kang Jianfei untied the rope and fell, at least one-third of the audience at the scene made various exclamations at the same time, because the development of the plot was beyond everyone's expectations.

The second male lead played by Kang Jianfei, who previously gave the audience a kind of frivolous behavior, self-indulgent, smooth-mouthed, and a bit funny half-baked master.

But now he actually gave up his life just to prevent his lover from taking risks. It can be said to be a true seed of infatuation.

On the big screen, the female jing played by Lin Qingxia looked at the second male lead falling from a tall building, and kept flashing back to the scene of being a sloppy person who was pursuing her, leaving silent tears in her eyes.

In dealing with this plot, Kang Jianfei put in a lot of effort in the later stages, which is ten times more sensational than the original work of another time and space. The tender and sad music sounded, accompanied by Lin Qingxia's tears and many memories of Kang Jianfei when he was alive, and these clips are Kang Jianfei laughing, all kinds of smiles. The mean smile forms a strong contrast with the infatuation and sadness at this moment.

"Bang!"

The picture is still Lin Qingxia crying silently, but the background sound is the loud noise of Kang Jian flying to the ground. Then the picture suddenly cuts to the roof, changing to the villain's surprise and provocative smile.

At this moment, many of the female audience in the premiere hall were moved to tears, while the male audience's anger towards the villain reached another peak.

But that's not the end. After the second male lead played by Kang Jianfei died, the villain actually dug out his body from the cemetery and recorded the entire process of digging his grave to Lin Qingxia and Sanada Hiroyuki, claiming that he wanted to let the person who killed his brother die without a burial place.

Chinese people are all concerned about being buried. The villain's actions finally ignited the audience's anger. Some of the audience even got so angry that they threw the soda bottle in their hands towards the screen, but hit the head of the front row audience, which made the man scream.

Sammo Hung loosened his tie and said, "This script made me feel hot all over."

On Chen Bosen's side, Tang Shuxuan, a literary film director who was a lady from a wealthy family, couldn't help but twist her body to relieve her emotions and said, "That Kang Jianfei is a master in creating an atmosphere. I didn't expect that such a powerful director has appeared in Hong Kong for more than a year after I went to the United States."

The final decisive battle is finally coming!

The villain used the corpse of the second male lead to attract Hiroyuki Sanada and Lin Qingxia to a construction site, and buried a large amount of explosives there in advance, while he hid in the house and used a sniper rifle to die.

Such a dangerous ambush made the audience feel worried for the two protagonists Lin Qingxia and Hiroyuki Sanada.

Sure enough, as soon as Sanada Hiroyuki drove to the construction site, he was immediately suppressed by a sniper rifle and was not stuck in the car that kept leaking oil.

Then as soon as Lin Qingxia appeared, she attracted laughter and cheers from the audience as soon as she appeared. But it turned out that she was driving a modified car with all-metal armored armor and sniper rifle could not penetrate it.

The place where the decisive battle was the battle between Lin Qingxia and the villain.

What the audience did not expect was that the weapon used by the villain was actually a chainsaw. The chainsaw with the sound of a huge diesel motor quickly turned the saw teeth and chopped towards Lin Qingxia again and again, and many viewers were sweating when they saw it.

Sammo Hung was shocked. He never thought of using a chainsaw as a weapon to shoot a fight scene. The action scene on the screen is so visually impactful.

The ending of the story is naturally the villain being subdued. While the audience cheered, they found that the film was not over. Just as they were thinking about the two men of Sanada Hiroyuki and Lin Qingxia, one of whom had his wife and the other had his boyfriend, would they come together to become lovers? When the villain in blood was holding a torch and climbing out of the ruins, lifting a gasoline barrel, full of bombs inside.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

A series of explosions sounded, and Kang Jianfei also added a set of down shots to make the explosion scene even more grand.

The villain was burned to death, and the two protagonists successfully escaped in the explosion with the corpse of the second male lead. This ending finally made the audience dissipate all their depression, and they felt like they had survived the disaster.

"Smack it..."

Most of the audience clapped spontaneously, especially the last explosion scene was so cool. I gave another easter egg to the audience who thought it was over. How can I not like it?

Amid the applause, people found that the screen actually appeared again.

When I opened my eyes and looked closely, it was a behind-the-scenes look at the work behind the scenes. Most of them were the action scenes of Lin Qingxia and Hiroyuki Sanada, and some were the speed and explosion shooting scenes of the Raptors Special Team.
Chapter completed!
