Zhou's logo was criticized by "Apple Daily" for being worthless. Zhou Wen himself felt that it was too fake, so the first practice task after the special effects team was established was to design a new logo. Taking advantage of the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the new logo Also meet the audience.
The arrow of film that symbolizes Zhou's courage to move forward cuts across the big screen. At first glance, it feels very simple and ordinary. If you look closely, you will find that the film that forms the arrow is not stationary, but slides forward, as if the film is performing a wonderful scene. The artistic word "Zhou Films" is above the arrow, and the end of the arrow is a running rabbit.
"Did you make a mistake? I made a rabbit. What does Zhou Wen want to express?" Hong Jinbao, who saw Zhou's new logo for the first time, scratched his head and was very puzzled.
Yuan Heping smiled and said: "This year is the Year of the Rabbit. From now on, one will be changed every year. The twelve zodiac signs will be chased by arrows in turn, which means that the Zhou family will be prosperous every year and fly like arrows."
"Hey, you guys can figure it out." Hong Jinbao grinned bitterly.
Yuan Heping said: "Everyone didn't understand it at the beginning of the design. Awen said that the company would be in line with international standards sooner or later. As one of the corporate cultures, the logo must have oriental cultural characteristics, so he changed it to the twelve zodiac animals. The guardianship of the zodiac sign is auspicious. It also has oriental characteristics, so it can be regarded as inheriting oriental culture."
Immediately after Zhou's logo is the logo of the new visual effects team, a picture of an eye with three eyelashes, which means a novel and innovative world of special effects, followed by a series of new art city movies, film studios, Golden Princess Cinemas, etc. partners.
In the desolate Lanruo Temple, a handsome scholar reads at night. The candlelight fluctuated with the breeze, and the sound of music came from the empty valley. A gentle female voice sang a thousand times, as if murmuring, complaining, or confiding. The next moment, a beautiful woman with long hair and white clothes floated up in the darkness
In order to enhance the image of the heroine, many movies do not let her appear at the beginning, but "A Chinese Ghost Story" used just a few shots to create the atmosphere. Although Wang Zuxian was seen dancing lightly in white at the premiere just now, Yarn, but ultimately not as stunning as the one on the big screen, the first appearance of Four Strikes. It has moved all directions.
But the audience was shocked for less than a few seconds, because they suddenly found that the man seduced by Xiaoqian on the screen looked very familiar.
"By the way, who was the scholar who made a cameo just now?"
"I don't know. I only saw the side face and it was blurry, but it looks familiar."
"Yeah, it looks familiar to me too."
The audience whispered, and Zhong Chuhong in the front row said uncertainly: "Awen. That scholar seems to be you, right?"
"Uh" Zhou Wen was dumbfounded.
"It doesn't look like it, it's clearly him!" Zhang Guorong said: "The post-processing of the shots was good, the face was blurred, and there were only three of us present when these sets of shots were taken, and I was the cameraman."
When Zhong Chuhong heard this, she nodded and said, "I just said that Awen couldn't capture such a delicate picture. It turns out that it was Mr. Rong who took the shot. It's amazing, it's amazing."
"Honggu, are you not angry at all?" Zhang Guorong originally wanted to take the opportunity to "trick" Zhou Wen, but he didn't expect that Zhong Chuhong stopped after appreciating his camera skills.
Zhong Chuhong said very considerately: "What's there to be angry about? Some passionate scenes are inevitable when filming, and besides, this is filming. Xiaoxian had communicated with me before, but I didn't expect this set of shots to come out. "
When Zhou Wen, who was silent, heard this, he wished his eyes would pop out: "Has Xiaoxian mentioned this to you?"
Zhong Chuhong nodded and said: "Yes, she said that some slightly sexy scenes were not suitable for the scene, and then asked me what to do. After discussing for a long time, there was no good plan. Finally, I said no, let's find a female stand-in, but she did. A nice little bit of a sidekick, haha."
Zhong Chuhong didn¡¯t mean to look away or be fussy at all. Zhou Wen grinned stupidly, but Wang Zuxian, who was across from Zhang Guorong, snickered after hearing the sound.
At this time, the ambiguous and fragrant atmosphere on the big screen suddenly turned cold. As the scholar played by Zhou Wen accidentally touched Xiaoqian's feet, a bright red tentacle penetrated the door and rushed directly as the scholar screamed. Entering the opponent's mouth, the tentacles slid all the way down the scholar's internal organs The candlelight was extinguished, and the four typing words "A Chinese Ghost Story" appeared against the blood-red cloth, which was particularly shocking.
The title of the film appeared without stopping, as if to drive away the fear in the audience's hearts. The camera switched to bright sunshine, and Zhang Guorong's live "A Chinese Ghost Story" resounded in the theater again. The tone of the picture at this time was obviously different from that of the opening film. At this time Listening to the theme song again, it seemed particularly touching, and at least the audience's hearts became clear.
Accompanied by music, Ning Caichen walked from the other end of the road. The audience saw that he experienced a series of setbacks, but he was not depressed or sad, just like the song sang, "The road to the world, the happy young manThe road is rugged, and there is no sunshine in the rugged road. In the mud, there are many directions for happiness, traces of dreamy wind and rain, and the road is endless with people"
The lively songs and a series of hilarious encounters completely bring the audience into the story. It turns out that the combination of ancient costume films in this way is also very attractive. At least it does not have the long and drawn-out beginning of other costume films. It is simple and neat. It is also full of mystery and successfully keeps the audience in the theater.
"This is a good beginning, a costume ghost film, a scholarly female ghost, and the theme song goes well together. Overall, I think the theme song plays two roles here." Senior film critic Yi Xiujia nodded repeatedly. Friend Shi Qi said: "Obviously, it was played shortly after the film started and after the title appeared. It played the role of the theme song and set the tone for the film. Some people may have preconceived notions that this is a costume ghost film, but But I feel the optimistic and progressive tone from the song. Although this song shows the confusion of young people on the road of life, more importantly, it expresses the optimistic spirit of young people who have never given up their yearning and pursuit despite being confused. "
Shi Qi smiled and said: "In fact, we can also understand it from another angle. For example, Hong Kong people are confused about the return of 1997 and fear the mainland. What Zhou Wen wants to express in this movie is probably very huge. We We¡¯ll see.¡±
"Haha, I thought you wanted to act opposite me. You are a huge fan of Li Hanxiang." Yi Xiujia smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid you'll take it seriously and analyze the two versions in detail. You must know that the title of Zhou Wen's version is very It¡¯s disruptive.¡±
Shi Qi added: "It can be seen that both Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen have the same name, but their personalities are completely different from the old version. However, the times are progressing, and everyone's ideas have also been affected by society and have changed. It is not timely. The mentality that surrounds young people will eventually be eliminated by society, and this song also portrays the character of the protagonist Ning Caichen, a confused little scholar, kind and unscheming, in line with the rhythm of the music. Alas, the scholar in the play is like this, the play The same goes for everyone outside."
Obviously, Zhou Wen's directorial theme this time was quickly caught by film critics. As two film critics said, the sense of confusion displayed in "A Chinese Ghost Story" alludes to Hong Kong people in reality. Looking at the world, The tone of the film is also about expressing a feeling of good wishes, or looking forward to a better life after returning, or an expectation to maintain the status quo. However, these are deep-seated things that the audience may not understand clearly at first glance. They are here. Those who watch the excitement are here to watch the plot. As for other things, they don't bother to pay attention.
When Ning Caichen sat down in the thatched pavilion to take shelter from the rain, accompanied by the noisy voices, the rhythm of the music suddenly accelerated and became very tense, thus exaggerating a tense atmosphere. The Xiahou swordsman played by Zhou Wen had a The rich Xiao Sha appeared on the stage, and the broken limbs and broken bodies filled the screen when the long sword rose and fell. The spurting blood not only frightened Ning Caichen, but also made many timid viewers scream.
¡°This guy¡¯s martial arts skills are extremely high!¡±
"As expected of the fastest sword in the world!"
"So damn handsome, Zhou Wen is so cool and cool even when he plays the villain."
"It's not easy. This is one of Zhou Wen's few guest appearances, and it's also Zhou Wen's second guest appearance as a villain. He's so powerful as soon as he appears, and he's still in costume!"
As soon as the Xiahou Swordsman Pu appeared, Zhou Wen's fans were as excited as that. Although Zhou Wen's image is not very decent, the steamed buns he threw to Ning Caichen showed that he was not a murderous devil. Not only did he not It aroused disgust in the audience and even made everyone look forward to the next story even more.
"Ha, I wonder if the audience will curse later." Wang Zuxian said happily, clapping his little hands.
Zhang Guorong snorted: "They will definitely scold them. They have been looking forward to Awen's appearance all summer, but after two fights, he was seduced by you and became grandma's meal. It would be strange if the audience didn't shout that they were fooled. Woolen cloth."
"Damn, can you blame me?" Zhou Wen retorted depressedly after hearing this: "If you two have strong enough appeal, I will be shameless enough to come out as a guest star."
"Anyway, it's not us who will be scolded later. Maybe I will join in the booing!" Wang Zuxian shook the sugar cane in his hand as if he was considering whether to throw it away.
Zhou Wen smiled when he saw this and said, "Thanks to me hiding it."
Zhong Chuhong, who has been paying attention to the big screen, turned his head and blinked after hearing Zhou Wen say this and asked, "Huh? Have you revised the script?"
"Well, there have been a few small changes, but you won't be able to understand it until the finale." Zhou Wen said proudly.
Zhang Guorong and Wang Zuxian both frowned. They were extremely familiar with the script. During the filming, they did not find any adaptations of the script. Unless Zhou Wen had done some tricks during post-production, the audience would definitely shout "liar" after reading it. human.
You must know that many viewers came here for Zhou Wen¡¯s cameo, but the next part of the plot is that Xiahou Swordsman is sucked into a man by his grandma and then there is no more. The character who has been looking forward to the summer vacation has been ended hastily, and no one would feel comfortable if he replaced him. ah.
