RPAGF Chapter 051 Killing Someone by Destroying Their Spirit? Dominating the Summer Blockbuster Season
Chapter 051 Killing Someone by Destroying Their Spirit? Dominating the Summer Blockbuster Season
The film was still being shown at the Golden Harvest Dragon Theatre.
As it turns out, the pacing of (Kung Fu) an hour later lived up to the audience's expectations.
Ning Li plays a bespectacled, sleazy advisor who takes Ah Xing to a research center for abnormal humans to steal people.
The atmosphere is enhanced by various background music and terrifying visuals.
Ah Xing opened the final door, and the ultimate killer king, Fire Cloud Evil God, made his appearance!
The theater was filled with shouts of "Damn it!" and "What the hell!"
The more serious and proper the Fire Cloud Evil God was portrayed in the previous portrayal, the more drastic the contrast with the public, given his plastic sandals, baggy shorts, and bald head.
This is Liang Xiaolong, a familiar face to movie fans.
At this moment, Brother Long's appearance is so unique that the previously scary and terrifying background music has become playful and cheerful.
Fire Cloud Evil God is questioned by the Axe Gang, and then Ah Xing performs various comical acts.
When the handsome axe gang members took out their revolvers, Liang Xiaolong seized the guns.
The scene of the Axe Gang holding a bullet between their fingers, achieved with rudimentary special effects, completely shocked the audience, including those watching the movie.
It's still presented using the most advanced traditional methods, though it's slightly inferior to the original.
But the impact on both the screen and the audience remains powerful and terrifying, and the soundtrack further enhances the immersive and exhilarating experience.
Liang Xiaolong stomped through the air and shattered the walls inside and outside the casino.
The fight scene with the landlord and landlady drew thunderous applause and cheers.
In this battle between unparalleled masters, the Yuan family team and the Hong family team used every method and brainstorming.
Only then did Su Nan draw the action fight scenes in the storyboard.
They reproduced the images on film, after all, they are the world's top action choreography team.
This is different from the style of previous Hong Kong action and martial arts films, which is very novel and the viewing experience is also very surprising.
Even though the public has doubts, Stephen Chow is the male lead.
After more than an hour, Ah Xing still looks like a hoodlum and doesn't know any martial arts. Isn't this a bit of a fake male lead?
But the fight scenes on the big screen were so exciting, it was a feast for the eyes.
Until the Fire Cloud Evil God and the Landlord and Landlady were locked in a stalemate, Ah Xing's character wielded a wooden stick and struck Liang Xiaolong with it.
Then, when Ah Xing was beaten so badly that even his own mother didn't recognize him, the audience's gasps erupted once again.
Zhang Yaoyang's gang leader questioned the Fire Cloud Evil God, but was punched in the head by the Evil God, causing it to spin on its own and resulting in his death.
The scene was so shocked that people screamed in shock.
Joey Wong pulled Vivian Chow aside again and whispered, "It's been 80 minutes and Ah Xing still hasn't exploded? It's time for the finale and the climax."
Amin watched with great satisfaction and nodded earnestly, "Sister Hong appears very rarely, but she's more beautiful each time."
"If we have the opportunity to collaborate in the future, will I look this good in Brother Nan's photos?"
The climax is coming soon!
Amidst the pursuit of the Fire Cloud Evil God and the Axe Gang members, Ah Xing begins his transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly amidst the old buildings.
The music, atmosphere, and even the story structure all contribute to this effect.
Just as you wished, Ah Xing, exuding the aura of a grandmaster, stepped out of the door, igniting the entire venue!
This fight scene, in which Ah Xing takes on a hundred opponents, showcases both the grandmaster's and mischievous spirit.
This is a side of Stephen Chow that audiences and movie fans have never seen before.
At least this kind of temperament is countless times more authentic and charismatic than that of the characters in God of Gamblers II and God of Gamblers III.
Chow Yun-fat's character Ko Chun in gambling movies, accompanied by background music, is a famous scene, exuding a powerful aura.
However, compared to Stephen Chow's martial arts masters, it has a different style.
If Donnie Yen's (Ip Man) more than a decade later is a realistic portrayal of a grandmaster...
Ah Xing's performance, full of comic book and impressionistic style, is more than ten years ahead of its time, similar to the (Wong Fei-hung) image contributed by Jet Li.
Stunning the entire audience at Golden Harvest Theatre!
Liang Xiaolong's Toad Style special effects in the final battle are just like Lin Qingxia in (Swordsman II).
The character design is a bit ugly, but the martial arts prowess displayed far surpasses that of typical martial arts films.
The audience was also shocked when Ah Xing was carried into the sky by Liang Xiaolong with his stomach protruding.
This move, the Tathagata's Palm descending from the sky, features a spectacular special effect of stepping on the eagle's back for leverage.
It made countless people hold their breath.
The scene of the palm-shaped crater being smashed into the ground like the Five Finger Mountain to suppress the Fire Cloud Evil God was so exciting that many viewers rolled up their sleeves and applauded.
The fact that he could punch through the entire structure of a building with a single palm strike also shocked countless people.
But what truly struck a nerve was Stephen Chow's line, "You want to learn? I'll teach you."
This is a complete attack on the heart.
During the scene transition, the metal petal-shaped hidden weapon suddenly transforms into naturally blooming flowers.
Ah Hong once again appeared on the street pushing her ice cream cart. As the music started, countless people got goosebumps.
Zhou Huimin put her arms around her shoulders in the back row. "Hmm, was Sister Hong only on stage for ten minutes?"
"No way, it wasn't even ten minutes, but this character is just so beautiful!"
"They're going to dominate the Hong Kong market even without a single line of dialogue."
This is more than just a masterpiece!
Then, during another scene transition, an old beggar appeared and tried to sell a bunch of secret manuals to a little boy, which once again caused thunderous laughter in the theater.
Zhou Huimin pulled Wang Zuxian to her feet to run away, and then the subtitles showed Yuan Heping, Zhou Xingchi, and others appearing to receive cheers from the audience.
Interacting with the audience is the job of the (Kung Fu) crew; they'll definitely run away before they finish watching!
After leaving the screening room and arriving at the theater's backstage area, Amin was trembling with excitement. "It was so good! A transformation from caterpillar to butterfly."
"It's so natural and smooth for a small-time hoodlum to become a grandmaster."
"I think Stephen Chow has never looked this handsome before. I always thought of him as a comedian."
Liang Jiahui also laughed and said, "Brother Nan is really amazing. He can really capture this kind of change in aura."
Jet Li coughed and said, "There's a good chance that Ah Xing could become an action star."
Although their fighting styles are different, Stephen Chow's transformation in the end was his foray into the realm of kung fu action.
This is different from the occasional performance of a set of tricks in (God of Gamblers).
This summer, Ah Xing is going to carve out a new path in an unconventional way.
Golden Harvest's (Once Upon a Time in China) is scheduled for release in mid-August, and I think it's going well.
It takes more than a month to avoid the pressure of (kung fu).
After all, (God of Gamblers) only took 33 days to finish its run after grossing 4000 million at the box office.
This movie swept through the summer box office, making far more than just Stephen Chow a star.
Chen Hong, who only appeared on screen for a few minutes, was enough to amaze the film industry in East and Southeast Asia!
Ishikyo Nan's first foray into the film industry will also make him a renowned figure in the world of directing.
A nomination for Best Director at the 92 Hong Kong Film Awards is practically guaranteed.
……
Time flew by, and it was the morning of July 11th.
The promotional campaign for (Kung Fu) has already been bombarded multiple times, and it is also being shown in all Golden Harvest cinemas.
Film critics and various media figures who attended the midnight screening praised the kung fu film crew, Stephen Chow, and other figures from southern Jiangsu in today's morning paper.
Su Nan herself didn't wake up until after 10 a.m.
After a year and a half, his first blockbuster film has finally been released, delivering his answer.
Once the box office and word-of-mouth continue to build up over the next few months, there will definitely be a lottery, though it's uncertain what you'll win.
After washing up, Su Nan went downstairs to buy some lunch and went home, wondering whether he should try to talk to Sony about selling the port.
Sony established its US operations department in January 1992, specifically to handle foreign-language films produced by Americans.
Both the original (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and the 04 version (Kung Fu Hustle) were operated by Sony.
The 04 version grossed $1700 million at the box office in the US!
The department will be officially established in a few months? There must be plans and groundwork in place, and a six-month delay in its release in the US is not a big deal.
In this day and age, it's quite common for a movie to be released six months apart in different countries around the world.
