When a person concentrates wholeheartedly on something, time always passes unconsciously.
The filming of "A Better Tomorrow" gradually began to become smoother.
In fact, although there are gun battles in this movie, it was actually not that difficult to shoot. It would be troublesome if it was really a hard-hitting action scene.
This is especially true for Li Yi.
Moreover, he plays Xiao Ma. It can be said that he is the protagonist in the most outstanding gun battles in the movie.
Naturally, his own understanding of the film is not comparable to that of others, so it was actually relatively smooth.
This is because he has a golden finger and basically does not need to be shot and revised over and over again like other movies.
Overall, the shooting speed of "A Better Tomorrow" was not very fast, but for others, it was a relatively easy shoot.
In fact, many people who have worked with Li Yi know that filming with Li Yi's crew is far easier than filming with other directors.
And Li Yi's temper is considered to be very good among directors.
After the final scene of "A Better Tomorrow" was quickly passed smoothly, Li Yi announced that it was finished!
Although this movie did not have much publicity during the filming period, in fact, it no longer needs to be deliberately promoted.
Because there are so many people paying attention to this movie, including the media, who can break out some tidbits about this movie from time to time.
In addition, the starring role in the movie itself is very gimmicky and topical, so although the popularity is certainly much lower than before, it still maintains a very good and stable popularity.
But now that the movie is finished, the next promotion will naturally be intensified.
Fortunately, Li Yi's name is more useful than anything else nowadays.
In fact, increasing the intensity is only relative. Regarding this movie, there is another big news that has not been released, and that is that Li Yi is the starring role.
Originally, if it were other movies, it would be quite difficult to hide the starring candidates. After all, entering and exiting the crew will always be discovered by the entertainment reporters who are following them. But "A Better Tomorrow" is different. Li Yi himself is the director and screenwriter. This movie is
His movie, so no one doubts it at all.
The post-production of "A Better Tomorrow" was relatively simple.
After all, no special effects are needed, and Li Yi's filming style requires almost no rough editing and goes directly to the final stage of fine editing, so the speed is quite fast.
As for the movie's release schedule, it really doesn't matter to Li Yi. As long as it's not too unpopular, his movie basically doesn't need to worry about too much.
After all, other movies have always avoided his movies, and he has never avoided other movie schedules.
What's more, Li Yi is quite confident about the movie "A Better Tomorrow".
Although this movie is relatively old, as a classic Hong Kong gangster movie, this movie not only has a good reputation, but also has a high box office.
Of course, some people may say that it is only for Hong Kong Island, but in fact, for mainland audiences, and even in Li Yi's opinion, this movie may not be inferior to Hong Kong Island audiences.
If other directors had made this kind of film, especially some veteran directors from Hong Kong, the heartbroken audience would probably feel like they were trying to sell someone else's meat again.
But Li Yi is different.
"Infernal Affairs", "Secret War" and other films with obvious Hong Kong film characteristics, coupled with Li Yiyi's achievements, it can be said that his signature has already been given a halo.
According to movie fans, as long as it is a movie directed by a dog, all you have to do is buy a ticket!
The news of the completion of "A Better Tomorrow" was soon known by the media and netizens, and the topic of "A Better Tomorrow" gradually became popular again.
The first screening of "A Better Tomorrow" was held on Hong Kong Island.
In fact, Li Yi originally hoped to place it in the mainland. After all, there are also many fans of old Hong Kong movies in the mainland, and he has even more fans.
But in the end, everyone felt that this movie would be more gimmicky and topical if it were placed on Hong Kong Island.
Moreover, if it is on Hong Kong Island, mainland media and film critics can also be invited to the venue, so it doesn't matter.
Hong Kong Island Dragon Cinema, this cinema is not the largest cinema on Hong Kong Island, but it is the oldest cinema on Hong Kong Island. The first media and film critics special screening of "A Better Tomorrow" was held here.
The theater was already full of people.
Media, film critics from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, as well as some die-hard fans of Li Yi, were all sitting there at this moment.
When they saw the familiar subtitles of "Director Li Yi's Works", Li Yi's die-hard old movie fans all spontaneously applauded.
The whole movie theater burst into applause.
At the beginning of the movie, there was a scene that puzzled many people. That was Song Zihao, played by Hong Jiu, having a nightmare!
What is Brother Hao so worried about that he would have a dream in which Ajie, who was so frightened, was shot? This suspense firmly hit the audience's heart, making people want to continue watching.
However, when the first shot of the film, which can be said to be the real feature, started, the whole cinema burst into exclamations.
The first shot is a shot from top to bottom, from buildings to people.
When I saw him wearing sunglasses, with a pair of deep eyes hidden behind them, he had a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and smoked.
In fact, there is nothing special about this shot. The reason why everyone screamed is because the man who appeared in the shot wearing a long windbreaker and sunglasses turned out to be Li Yi!
Although the movie has not yet told everyone who Li Yi plays, you can actually guess it from the way he is dressed and appears in the first scene.
"Damn it, why is it Li Yi?"
"He plays Ponyboy?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then what happened to Chen Cong?"
"Let me just say, that Chen Cong became one of the male protagonists of this movie out of nowhere. It's very strange, but he is waiting here."
"Director Dog plays Brother Ma, which is really surprising!"
Many media reporters were extremely excited at this moment and sent the news back immediately.
There is no way, this news is too exciting.
What Chen Cong?
It's all a smokescreen thrown by Li Yi!
However, everyone soon continued watching the movie.
Brother Ma, played by Li Yi, walked to the roadside while smoking a cigarette, stopped in front of a stall, ordered a rice roll, and ate it with a toothpick.
A car stopped on the side of the road, the window rolled down, and Song Zihao, played by Hong Jiu, looked at Brother Ma with a smile.
"Pony!" He motioned towards Brother Pony.
"I'm coming!"
As a result, the stall owner saw the patrol police approaching and ran away with the food trolley. Xiao Ma quickly chased after him, taking out the money and returning the plate to the stall owner.
Then he got into Brother Hao's car.
After getting in the car, the next moment, the audience couldn't help but be shocked because the driver was actually Chen Weijie.
His greeting smile seemed humble and ingratiating.
However, Xiao Ma ignored him at all and sat in the back seat with Song Zihao played by Hong Jiu. The two laughed and joked with each other.
Although everyone can feel at a glance that Song Zihao is the eldest brother, they also find that Xiao Ma Ge and Song Zihao have a very good relationship. They are far from being a boss and a junior brother, but like brothers.
The two came to the company, and Xiao Ma was walking with a wind in his eyes, looking quite high-spirited.
The next scene showed the audience what they were doing. Song Zihao and Xiao Ma were in the counterfeit banknote business.
Their property company is actually a counterfeit banknote manufacturing den.
In fact, these can also make the audience start to think about why Song Zihao has nightmares about his younger brother Song Zijie being shot.
After all, what they do is inherently stupid.
However, soon, the scene of Xiao Ma, played by Li Yi, taking money to light a cigarette made everyone's eyes light up.
"Cool!"
"How chic, isn't it?"
"Gee, this shot is so cool, the dog director is so understanding!"
I have to say that this lens is really cool!
Li Yi also captured the essence here. In fact, this scene is actually very easy to perform, because for every man, taking money to light a cigarette is really cool and feels very good!
The plot of the movie continues.
Song Zihao and Xiao Ma were sitting in the car. Xiao Ma was pretending to read an English newspaper, but Song Zihao complained that he was reading blindly and could not understand it at all.
However, Brother Xiao Ma directly broke Brother Hao's cigarette into two pieces, and then held one piece in his mouth.
Next is the plot of trading counterfeit money.
Xiao Ma obviously didn't understand English, but he actually chatted and laughed with the two foreigners.
The transaction process on the other side is also very interesting.
The foreigners who bought the counterfeit banknotes were very quick at checking the counterfeit banknotes, but Song Zihao, who made the counterfeit banknotes, checked the Hong Kong dollars himself very carefully.
People who sell fakes are more afraid of buying fakes. In other words, people who make fakes naturally look at everything with suspicion.
Song Zihao spoke very little during the entire transaction process and seemed more serious.
But after he walked out, his hearty laughter suddenly stopped.
"You are really good at it. Your English has improved and you can speak offcourse now!" Brother Hao couldn't help but teased with a smile.
"off course!"
Back at the company, the company's employees all greeted Song Zihao and Xiaoma Ge warmly.
And soon, another key figure in the film was introduced, the boss behind Song Zihao, Mr. Yao!
"Those foreigners are very happy!" Song Zihao said with a smile.
"Not every foreigner is so cheerful. Your shortcoming is that you trust people too easily!" Mr. Yao took out a cigar and handed it to Song Zihao and said.
In a good movie, no shot is useless, and similarly, there is no nonsense.
The audience present, who are either die-hard movie fans or senior media people or film critics, naturally know this truth.
Thinking of Song Zihao introduced by Li Yi earlier, many media reporters and film critics silently took note of this sentence.
Because it can be imagined that this sentence is laying a very important foreshadowing.
Why did Song Zihao go to jail? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he trusts people too easily!
Another key role, Tan Cheng played by Chen Weijie, seemed extremely humble at this time, more like a boy carrying a bag. He didn't even dare to sit down, and just said: "I'll just stand!"
Because he knew there was no place for him here, Mr. Yao was just being polite when he asked him to sit down.
When the camera turned, Xiao Ma, played by Li Yi, walked into the office next to him with a cigarette in his mouth and a signature smile.
He pulled a rose from the vase, then sat on the desk of the female secretary and put the rose in front of her: "Good morning, Linda!"
It's a pity that the female secret artist is indifferent, or maybe she knows Brother Xiao Ma too well and knows who he is, so she doesn't pay any attention to him!
I was still typing on the keyboard with no distractions, as if Brother Ma didn't exist.
Brother Ma immediately felt helpless, dropped the rose, and turned to leave.
In fact, many times, a character can be shaped from just a few details.
For example, Brother Xiao Ma seems to be just flirting with a girl, but he is not the kind of person who stalks her. If the other party refuses or even ignores him, he immediately and decisively withdraws.
Return to the three people on the other side.
Mr. Yao said to Tan Cheng: "Ah Cheng, you should learn more from your brother Hao, he is very loyal!"
At this time, Brother Ma walked in.
Mr. Yao also saw it and said with a smile: "You may not think that Xiaoma usually acts like a fool, but he is very loyal!"
"Yes, he takes good care of me!" Tan Cheng said with a smile towards Brother Ma.
At this time, Mr. Yao asked Brother Hao: "By the way, is your brother graduating today?"
Brother Hao suddenly sat up straight with excitement: "Oh, I forgot to buy him a gift!"
Brother Hao will soon say goodbye and leave.
At this time, Mr. Yao stood up and said: "Ah Hao, you go to Baodao the day after tomorrow and take Ah Cheng with you to give the young people one more chance!"
Brother Hao didn't say anything, he just looked at Tan Cheng, but Brother Xiao Ma spoke. He suddenly said loudly to Tan Cheng: "Baodao, do you have the courage to go? My little horse has been in the world for more than ten years.
I don’t even dare to go, do you know why? It’s just because.”
Tan Xiang seemed to be frightened by Brother Ma and kept dodging.
It was Brother Hao who interrupted Xiao Ma and asked him to stop joking.
After the two came out, Xiao Ma said with a smile: "Ajie has graduated. Give him a woman?"
"Fuck you, although I'm not good myself, I won't let him learn to be bad!"
Brother Hao's words are actually very contradictory, but very realistic.
"I want to watch him study for a doctorate and watch him get married in the church."
At this moment, Brother Hao is not a big brother in the world at all, but a brother who loves his younger brother!
"Watching him in the bridal chamber, watching him give birth to children? Isn't it harder for you than being a cow?" At this moment, Li Yi plays Xiao Ma Ge, just like Mr. Yao said, people are sometimes a little out of tune, but they are
Very loyal and loyal!
The two of them entered the elevator jokingly!
The camera turned again, and Brother Hao came to his younger brother's school.
Suddenly a person ran out from behind and pushed him against the wall: "Don't move, I'm the police!"
Then there was a body search.
What Brother Hao said was very funny: "Everyone has a gun. If you don't give me face, I won't give you face either!"
Some people's first reaction to this sentence is that Brother Hao is so fierce? He actually directly told the police that he had a gun?
But everyone soon realized that this gun was not that gun!
It turns out that Brother Hao had already recognized his younger brother's voice.
It's just that when the audience in the theater smiled, they didn't know how happy this scene was, and how depressing it would be when he said these words again later!
