Inferior film photography

There is such a movie, which took only 14 days to shoot in the early stage, and it is said that it took 4 days to write the script. Now this situation is likely to be a bad film.

But under the elements of many bad movies, relying on many powerful actors, a movie that should have been a bad movie can become a classic.

Some people say: If one day, only one comedy movie is allowed in the world.

It must be "east in and west out"!

0 1

This movie, which makes countless people happy, was shown in 1993.

"Going East and Going West" was produced and directed by Wong Kar-wai, with Wong Kar-wai in charge of music, Bao as photography director, production designer as martial arts director. ......

There are also big-name guest classes, such as Stephen Chow, Jonathan Lee and Sandy Lam.

Conscience of heaven and earth, this film, from director to producer to soundtrack, was half of the Hong Kong film industry at that time!

The cast is even stronger, almost all-star cast in the golden age of Hong Kong films: Leslie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Carina Lau, Zhong Zhentao, Ye Yuqing, Wang Zuxian and so on.

Is it enough for a person to carry out a movie?

It is such a group of big-name actors who get together and laugh and scold, regardless of their own image, and try their best to be funny and contribute a classic comedy movie to the audience.

Of course, many people have a certain understanding of the behind-the-scenes story of "going east and going west".

Wong Kar-wai overspent his budget when he filmed "Ashes of Time" on 1992.

In order to understand the urgent need, Liu Zhenwei, his partner, made a funny version of Ashes of Time, which was shown in the New Year's Eve file that year, so there was "Going East and Going West".

It was the end of the year when shooting started, but Liu Zhenwei got on the last bus of the Lunar New Year with other superstars.

Because the Chinese New Year was early that year, it was still Valentine's Day. In the end, the box office in Hong Kong was HK$ 22 million, ranking 10 for the whole year.

Although not as good as Tang Bohu's Chou-heung and Happy Birthday to Hua Tian in the same year, these box office receipts finally made Wong Kar-wai finish filming Ashes of Time.

In other words, without "going east and going west", Ashes of Time may be "dystocia".

Although director Liu himself is not satisfied, today, "Going East and Going West" can be regarded as a classic in comedy, and all kinds of classic lines and bridges in it still have the power to make people laugh.

The reason why classic movies are enduring is that one of the scenes resonates strongly with the audience.

As the Supreme Treasure said to Xia Zi in A Chinese Odyssey, it became the most classic scene in a Chinese Odyssey.

This passage has also aroused strong resonance among many people, and the combination of other elements has made it a classic.

In Going East and Going West, I always remember Tony Leung Chiu Wai's sausage mouth, Ye Yuqing's crab dance, hidden weapons, leather boots, the cauldron of Jiuyin Zhenjing, the famous Swallow and I Love You, and Tony Leung Ka Fai's stunning women's clothes, which are really unforgettable.

As soon as we talk about this movie, the scenes and characters in it seem completely out of our brain's control. To put it in a strange way, we will never think of it and never forget it.

As soon as Jacky Cheung appeared, he decided his painting style with "the whitest and cleanest little Wang in the history of beggars".

Carina Lau is one of the most desperate female stars. She plays Zhou in "Going East and Going West" and has an affair with her brother. When she came out to see her brother's apprentice, she began to work on her upper arm and chest muscles. It was really fierce.

Maggie Cheung has few scenes, but her speech is also funny.

It has always been the screen image of the goddess Fan, but in "Going East and Going West", she directly became a "female nerve".

Cousin Tony Leung Chiu Wai with a sausage mouth, nothing makes the male audience happier than a handsome guy making fun of himself.

When Leslie Cheung appeared, he was still practicing with Joey Wong, and his appearance was quite charming. When he turned around and saw Brigitte Lin, he became infatuated. Tony Leung Ka Fai plays Prince Duan of Dali and his great-grandfather. I broke my English as soon as I came up, and then I went to the Central Plains to find a real man.

When they met, the two song and dance performances in the inn were the peak of the whole film, and James J.S.Wong's two episodes of ghost horse "Beautiful Brother" and "Being Loved by Swallows" played a huge comedy role.

Hong Qi, the leader of the Beggars' Sect who won by guessing boxing, wanted to commit suicide when her cousin didn't want to, and she felt secretly loved by others every day.

Scary animals and people who scare animals, killed by hidden weapons's boots, Zhou who loves muscular men, flirting with swords, passionate knives and so on.

Ridiculous and funny, so some people say that this film subverts the meaning of martial arts.

This 93-year-old movie is still a classic, and many funny scenes used by Liu Zhenwei are from his own movies.

Although it may not bring us any profound ideas.

However, it doesn't need us to think, just need us to laugh and be happy.

It is carefree from the heart, purely for fun, for the box office itself, and there is no unnecessary consideration such as winning prizes and acting.

Fantastic imagination, skillful comedy techniques, nonsense performances, super-fast rhythm, smooth martial arts, bright colors and fine art are really unique to Liu Zhenwei.

I like watching Ashes of Time and Going East and Going West together, but I find it enjoyable.

Because you can see that these stars are completely different from their extreme performance styles, it is said that these two films were shot almost at the same time, so you can imagine how "painful" these stars are.

Try to imagine a picture. During filming, the actors in the same group were crazy with Liu Zhenwei during the day and sad with Wong Kar-wai at night. Is there a feeling of "great joy and great sorrow"?

Some people say that there is always sadness, but happiness can't last long, and you can't always expect a fairy to come down and save it.

A movie can entertain you, which is its greatest significance.

Of course, classic spoof movies will still appear, but I'm afraid it's hard to have a classic like "Going East and Going West".

It was the best time for Hong Kong movies, and almost every episode in the play was a nonsense classic in Hong Kong.
