The melodious melody is not cheerful, but has a heavy feeling that cannot be let go.
The breeze blew, blowing up the fallen leaves.
In the black and white picture, a young man silently carried his luggage and left the police academy under the stern instructions of the instructor.
Under the setting sun, his back became farther and farther away, and his figure became increasingly blurry.
The students at the police academy were a little frightened, some were surprised, some were confused, and some were watching his leaving figure quietly.
The back figure slowly walked into the distance, and when it was about to disappear into the hazy world, it suddenly stopped and then turned its head.
Looking back suddenly, the black and white color scheme turned into color, but he was no longer a boy...
The moment Zhou Yang turned his head and looked at the camera.
The screening room became silent.
The sad melody is accompanied by memories, lingering in all hearts.
With a weathered face and disheveled and haggard hair, he looked back in the direction of the police academy with a hint of nostalgia...
Then, that attachment turned into a hidden determination, and then the body shook slightly, as if ready to turn around and leave.
Then, the screen freezes for a few seconds.
"I want to trade with him..."
In the distance, at the police academy, the black-and-white picture also turned into color, and the appearance of one of the young men suddenly changed into that of Liu Hua.
He stood with his head lowered.
The long, empty road in the distance is so hazy that there is no end in sight.
I don’t know where I am in the distance, and I don’t know where I will be in the future. Everything seems to have passed a long time ago, and everything seems to be whispering yesterday.
Amidst the melodious and low melody, he raised his head.
The picture freezes.
Then it dimmed again.
Darkness enveloped the entire big screen, shrouding the hearts of all viewers like a shadow.
[Buddha said: The eternal body will never die, and longevity is the great calamity in the endless hell]
The lights come on.
It seems to have dispelled the darkness on the screen and the haze in the hearts of all movie fans.
In the rows of seats, some people were silently watching the screen with tears in their eyes, either by the music, the acting skills of the actors, or the look back...
Some people stared at the screen angrily and thought the ending was too bad. They were so angry that they wondered why good people don't live long...
Some people find it amazing, their eyes fixed on the ending line and the closing subtitles...
Arranger: Zhou Yang.
Director: Zhou Yang.
Starring: Zhou Yang.
…
In the screening room, there was a brief silence.
Directors such as Wang Shuai, Huang Jiacheng, Shen Changwei, and even Cao Bangguo stood up immediately.
The applause was like thunder.
"Congratulations, Director Zhou, Director Zhou, you did it!"
“Not bad, so excellent!”
"This is the most amazing movie I have seen in years. Director Zhou's control of the camera is already perfect!"
"It's amazing, it's amazing!"
"The movie was well shot, but I have to watch it a second time. There are too many details. I need to clear my mind now..."
“Fortunately, I got tickets for two shows!”
"..."
Countless praises surrounded Zhou Yang.
People who were familiar, unfamiliar, friendly, or hostile all surrounded Zhou Yang, and they did not hesitate to praise him.
Zhou Yang was surrounded by the crowd, like a brilliant flame that attracted everyone's attention.
In the crowd…
A figure stood up. Instead of going up to cheer and bless him, he stood up and silently left the crowd without anyone noticing.
When she was about to walk out of the screening room, she paused slightly, turned her head and took a deep look at Zhou Yang who was surrounded by people, then lowered her head and gradually disappeared amidst the calls of countless reporters and fans.
Jiang Ge was still sitting on the chair, watching the slowly rising subtitles as if he was belatedly watching, and Zhou Yang, who had long since disappeared from the crowd.
The look in his eyes was extremely complicated. He felt as if his whole body's strength had been drained away. His whole body was horribly exhausted, and the noise around him gradually became silent.
Feeling like a dream, he finally stood up, lowered his head and left the screening room.
As a man with an academic background, his sense of superiority in his understanding of film art was completely shattered with the appearance of "Infernal Affairs".
What was once pride turned into unwillingness, and finally the unwillingness turned into frustration and confusion...
"Lost!"
"Totally lost."
Leaving the screening room and looking at the ray of sunshine on the horizon, he had a wry smile on his face.
After muttering to himself, he somehow felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
When talking about Hong Kong movies, people will always unconsciously think of the unique characteristics that only belong to Hong Kong movies.
Especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s, these characteristics were vividly interpreted by countless directors, and at the same time, countless classic movies were born in the flourishing market.
Perhaps it was too brilliant, or perhaps the market was too small, and was overturned by the impact of Hollywood. By the mid-1990s, the decline of all Hong Kong films had gradually emerged.
No matter how they make films, directors of Hong Kong films can only linger within these inherent routines and eat the leftovers of their predecessors, ultimately producing one bad film after another that is not accepted by the market.
The less accepted by the market, the more directors have to make short-term bad movies to repay capital, but the more they make, the worse they become.
During this period, there were also classic works like "Overlord", but in the end they were short-lived and could not cover up the declining trend of Hong Kong films.
Hong Kong movies are dead!
In the past few years, these words have been circulating on the Internet, and many people agree with them.
Of course, many filmmakers were unwilling to give in. They clenched their fists as they watched Hollywood movies and the increasingly prosperous mainland movies. They tried to swim against the current to save this bleak market.
Zhang Zuolu is one of them. He is the screenwriter of "Night Walker". He also participated in the script creation of "Overlord", a classic film in film history, and is one of the main writers of the team.
He wrote the script of "Night Walker" for three years.
In three years.
He watched countless Hong Kong movies.
No matter good or bad, no matter how high or low the box office is, as long as it is a unique movie, he will watch it.
He not only watched, but also analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of these movies very carefully, and from these advantages and disadvantages, he came up with the key points for the revival of Hong Kong films.
Exciting gun battles, hearty fighting scenes, suspenseful and interlocking plots, the contradiction between black and white...
The script of "Night Walker" took three years to prepare and one year to write!
Repeated revisions and carvings have been used to the extreme, and almost all the advantages of these Hong Kong films have been covered.
He is confident that his script is the best and there can be no better movie than this script!
For "Night Walker", he is ambitious.
He once felt that he had found a new way!
In fact, the opening box office did give him confidence, and he felt that he saw hope for the revival of Hong Kong films.
However……
"It turns out that the script can still be written like this..."
"Movies can still be made like this..."
The premiere of "Infernal Affairs" has ended.
Zhang Zuolu walked out of the screening room.
He looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
Afterwards, I stood blankly at the entrance of a busy street, watching the movie theater with people coming and going in a daze.
"Infernal Affairs" and "Night Walker" took completely different paths.
There are very few gunfight scenes and almost no action scenes. The whole process is a game between characters and a collision between psychology and psychology.
Literary drama should be the most boring, but the conflict between emotions, the tense atmosphere that makes your heart tremble, and the timely appearance of sad music...
After reviewing the plot of "Infernal Affairs", he seemed to see a brand new door slowly opening towards him.
In this declining era of Hong Kong films, he saw a road that had never been traveled before.
"Ah? The tickets are gone today?"
"There are no tickets for tomorrow?"
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
"Snatch it all?"
The movie "Infernal Affairs" was naturally not satisfying the first time he watched it, so he naturally wanted to watch it a second time.
As a screenwriter, there are indeed many things worth learning from the plot of this movie.
However, when he came to the ticket window, he found that it was overcrowded. When he finally got in line, he was speechless to find that all the advance tickets for the day after tomorrow were sold out!
………………
The box office of "Infernal Affairs" was indeed sold out.
[Director, screenwriter, starring, soundtrack... He has proven himself with his strength, and a new era has begun! 】
On Weibo, when this hot search first appeared, it had the word "fire" in it. After a few minutes, the word "fire" instantly changed to "explosion".
People always have a curious mind.
After watching the movie, countless movie fans were shocked by the "Zhou Yang" structure in "Infernal Affairs". Such an amazing operation has never been seen in the history of Chinese movies, or even in the history of world movies.
[In-depth analysis of the plot of "Infernal Affairs", this movie is just a ghost movie, everyone is a ghost, they are actually dead, they just reincarnate in hell over and over again, recreating the scene before death]
A famous film critic named "Conan Doyle" on Weibo posted a Weibo and deeply analyzed the content of "Infernal Affairs". He restored the entire plot of "Infernal Affairs" in an extremely detailed way, and obtained
came to such a conclusion.
This Weibo went from "hot" to "explosion" in an instant.
The opening and ending of "Infernal Affairs" both use the Buddhist scriptures of endless hell.
Everything becomes logical and flawless under the pen of "Conan Doyle".
[The brilliance of Hong Kong films, Zhou Yang’s amazing acting skills and charming eyes!]
"Hong Kong Island Film Weekly" boasted about "Infernal Affairs", saying that it was the best movie in Hong Kong in the past 20 years, and even ranked the film on the same level as "Overlord".
"Ye Luzi" "didn't rely on the help of those directors?" "It's just good luck" and "just a lucky person."
"Before the release of "Infernal Affairs", Zhou Yang seemed to have countless such labels on his body..."
"His rise has been too rapid and too smooth, so smooth that it makes people feel that there is a hand behind his back, deliberately paving the way forward for him."
"He participated in and took the lead in every aspect..."
"Can you find such a director in Chinese history?"
"Can you find such a director in the history of the world?"
"Can you still find such a director in the history of human cinema?"
"..."
Noon on October 10th.
A Weibo article was posted on Qgou. The main author of the Weibo article was Miao Miao, the vice president of Yangcun and the president of Soku Video.
Her three rhetorical questions went viral throughout the Weibo movie section.
The world is magical.
It was so magical that many black people were silent.
No one refuted it because they simply didn’t know how to refute it.
At this moment, their hearts are still filled with disbelief.
This guy can be so crazy!
Probably, living in this era is sad.
…
"I couldn't get into the mood for the last scene..."
"When there was really no other way, Director Zhou looked at me with a smile and said he had a way to get me into the mood in one second..."
"I was quite curious at the time, so I asked Director Zhou what he could do..."
"Then I got punched..."
"..."
The evening of August 10th.
Another interview news titled [Zhou Yang beats up someone] made the headlines on Weibo.
……………………
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Netizens on Weibo and major social media found that Zhou Yang not only dominated all the top ten hot searches on Weibo, but also appeared on CCTV News.
[3 died and 18 were injured, 5 people were held accountable, and the investigation report on the fire accident in a foot massage shop in Yanjing was released! 】
[Tears! The famous director rushed into the sea of fire to save three people, and finally jumped from the second floor with the injured on his back, causing many wounds on his body to burst! 】
【Heroes in the fire!】
【……】
According to the "People's Daily" Weibo, during the tragic explosion, Zhou Yang jumped from the second floor with an injured person in his arms as if in a movie, and hit the bed, seemingly very hard.
"boom!"
The moment he jumped down, a new round of explosions occurred on the entire second floor. Under the shock wave of the explosion, Zhou Yang hugged the little girl and ran towards the safety area, as if he was completely unaware of the pain.
Fire shot into the sky.
He was as agile as a cheetah, dodging pieces of scattered glass and falling objects, and finally put the little girl down safely...
This scene is actually more exaggerated and exciting than filming in a movie!
"do not take photos!"
"Spread out, spread out!"
"Don't surround us. Let the fire trucks come. Don't surround us, otherwise they won't be able to get through!"
"hurry up!"
In the video.
After rescuing the little girl, he kept panting, but did not rest. Instead, when he saw the onlookers in the distance, he waved to them frantically, almost roaring.
"Bang!"
There was another explosion upstairs...
When he saw someone fall down and break his leg, he rushed over again resolutely...
The scene was so shocking that it made one’s scalp numb!

There is no second update...
My mind is muddled, and the second update is written like shit.
