There was thunder and lightning, and a man wearing a long gown and braids walked into the ruined temple, stepped on the altar table and hung himself in front of the statue. Amidst the eerie soundtrack, a terrifying ghostly atmosphere spread in the screening room.
"Did you make a mistake? Watch a ghost movie during Chinese New Year!"
"The whole family came here and it was like watching a comedy, but then a horror movie was shown."
"..."
Happy ghost in Cantonese means the kind of heartless optimist, so even though there is a word for "ghost", it doesn't feel unlucky during the Chinese New Year. Many people in the theater were attracted by "Oriental Daily"
It was attracted by advertising, otherwise how could a movie made by a new director and new actors attract so many viewers on the first day.
Moreover, many of the audience came with their whole families. When they saw the opening scene of the scholar committing suicide, they immediately felt like they were being deceived.
"La la la la, la la la, la la la la, la la la..."
The screen suddenly changed, and five young and beautiful girls were going on an outing with schoolbags on their backs. The background music also became cheerful, and the subtitles showed that the time had changed to 1979.
Xu Ke's eyes suddenly lit up. He was attracted by the soundtrack. Although he didn't know what the background music was, it was definitely original. Coupled with the soundtrack of the scholar hanging himself at the beginning, Xu Ke suddenly had a deeper understanding of the movie.
expect.
Most of the Hong Kong films before 1980 were relatively primitive and outdated from the aesthetic point of view of later generations, whether in terms of shooting techniques or narrative methods. For example, in recent years, "Leaping from the Ashes", "Butterfly", "Crazy", etc.
Waiting for the movie, it immediately attracted attention just because it tried to make some kind of breakthrough.
Except for Xu Guanjie and Wenner Band, which are movies where singers perform, the soundtracks of other movies are mostly terrible. For example, the soundtrack of Cheng Long's current "Junior Brother" is quite interesting in some details, but overall it seems
It's still very rough. Golden Harvest's is a little better, but the soundtracks of Shaw Brothers' martial arts films are terrible. A few years ago, Shaw Brothers' "The Best Punch" miraculously ranked ninth in the U.S. annual box office, but that movie had almost no
A tight soundtrack.
Xu Ke originally thought that Kang Jianfei's small-budget film would be unsatisfactory in terms of details. Unexpectedly, he did a great job in the soundtrack, which shows his dedication to the film.
In fact, because of the copycat, Kang Jianfei didn't put much thought into the later stage. In order to save money, he didn't even hire professional singers. He sang all the male vocals by himself, and directly asked Teacher Qin from Tiaojingling Middle School to sing the female vocals.
Girls who are better at singing came to record it. Even the theme song "Happy Ghost" and the rock accompaniment were found from small bands in the bar. If not for such careful budgeting, the post-production of the film would have been completed, not to mention the budget of 450,000, which would have been estimated to be 500,000.
Nothing is enough.
Five girls came to the beach, and the names of the three heroines Li Saifeng, Wen Bixia and Li Shan were printed one after another. In the cheerful singing, the five beautiful girls took off their clothes and chased and played on the beach in one-piece swimsuits. They were full of youth.
Her beautiful figure was a feast for the eyes of the male audience present.
Although several girls have their beautiful legs exposed, because they are little girls, not only do they not look salty and wet like Li Hanxiang's romantic films, but they give people a very youthful and healthy feeling.
Especially the older audiences, except those salty guys with perverted hobbies, all want to have such a beautiful and lovely daughter.
Then five boys appeared. The second male lead played by Kang Jianfei was much more handsome than in the original work. Especially when he played and sang on the beach with his guitar, it also made the audience shine.
Chen Bosen whispered: "Including the opening song, this is the second original song. How can Kang Jianfei pay so much to hire someone to write a song?"
Xu Xiaoxiao said: "Have you forgotten that he wrote the theme song of "Shanghai Beach"?"
Chen Bosen slapped his forehead: "This guy is really as talented as you said!"
Although the first 10 minutes of the play created an atmosphere of youth and joy, it would inevitably make people feel boring after a long time. However, just when the audience's patience ran out, the appearance of Fei Fei Shen Tianxia immediately filled the theater. The atmosphere became lively.
No need to say a word, the way Shen Tianxia hummed while wearing headphones and sweeping the floor with her buttocks had already made the audience laugh. If you don't understand, you can refer to Uncle Benshan's appearance at the Spring Festival Gala.
Then the rope with the ghost of Zhu Xiucai moved on its own, scaring away the puppies and frightening the wretched uncle played by Xu Ke. This scene made the audience exclaim that it was novel and had never seen it before.
Shi Nansheng pointed at Xu Ke on the screen, laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight, and said intermittently: "Old Xu, you... who designed your appearance, and... you also have a hairy hemorrhoid." , so... so bad, oh... I laughed to death..."
Xu Ke was very speechless. Is he just putting on makeup to play a clown? Does he need to smile like this?
After the happy ghost played by Hu Juncai appeared in Qing Dynasty official uniform, the laughter and surprise were endless, especially several dialogues in it made the audience laugh.
Li Saifeng: "Who are you? Thief, do you want to rob?"
Hu Juncai: "Xiaosheng is not a thief, I am... I am not a human being."
Li Saifeng: "Of course you are not a human being, you are an animal. Breaking into someone else's room in the middle of the night without touching anything but touching the soles of someone else's feet. You are a pervert and a pervert."
Hu Juncai: "I'm not a wolf..."
…
Hu Juncai: "Miss, please believe me, I am a ghost."
Li Saifeng: "Only a ghost believes that you are a ghost, you are looking for death!"
Hu Juncai: "Ah... you hit someone!"
Li Saifeng: "Didn't you say you are not human?"
…
Hu Juncai: “What does makelove mean?”
Li Saifeng: "makelove means being a good friend."
…
Li Saifeng: "Zhu Chuncai, please stop being so impatient and speak more directly."
Hu Juncai: "Okay, then I will be straightforward. If you don't give up, I would like to make love with the two ladies."
Wen Bixia & Li Shan: "Ah... you are so direct, you are so shameless."
Hu Juncai: "I've already made love with her, now it's your two's turn!"
The following sports meeting was full of laughter. A ghost wearing Qing Dynasty official uniform appeared at the sports meeting of a modern school. He did not speak or move at all, which was enough to make the audience feel novel and laugh at this time. Especially when Hu Juncai held Li Saifeng in the long jump. He broke the world record and threw the shot put directly onto the rostrum outside the stadium, making the audience burst into tears and sprayed popcorn with laughter.
"Hahaha, then Zhu Chuncai is really a stupid pig, he is so stupid!"
"That person is so tall and inferior."
"Lin Jingjing (Li Saifeng) is so cute, which actor played her?"
"Yes, Lin Xiaohua (Wen Bixia) is beautiful. When I look for a girlfriend in the future, I will look for someone like Lin Xiaohua."
"Dream on you!"
"..."
The theater was already completely lively, and almost every few minutes, the theater would burst into laughter. The theme song of "Happy Ghost" sounded during the dance. After singing it several times, some young audience members started singing along, and later The episode about the nun's sexual intercourse once again had the audience lying on their seats laughing.
The actress of the nun is an ordinary TVB actress found by Kang Jianfei. Although her acting skills and funny expressions are not as good as those of the original Lisa Teresa, the audience at this time is not those who have experienced more sophisticated productions a few years later. Some novel jokes are enough. Make them laugh in the theater.
Watching a movie live is different from watching a movie alone at home. For some funny plots, if you sit in front of the TV or computer, you will only find them interesting, but you just can’t laugh. But when you go to the cinema, you won’t realize it. You are easily affected by the emotions of other viewers. An ordinary joke is likely to make you laugh out loud along with others.
This is also part of the fun and charm of watching movies live!
After countless bursts of laughter, the second half finally reached the point of tears. Especially when the school teacher burned the rope with the soul of the happy ghost, some teenage viewers could not help but shed tears.
Chen Bosen sighed: "It makes people cry and laugh. This movie-watching atmosphere is so powerful. "Happy Ghost" is going to be popular, and Kang Jianfei and several heroines are going to be popular too!"
