Chapter 59
: Fifty-Nine [Laughter Continuously]
“Boom!”
There was thunder and lightning, and a man in a long gown with braids walked into the ruined temple, stepped on the offering table and hanged himself in front of the statue. In the eerie soundtrack, a terrifying ghostly atmosphere diffused in the screening room.
“Did you make a mistake, watching ghost movies during the Chinese New Year!”
“It’s like watching a comedy when the whole family comes over, and it ends up being a horror movie.”
“…”
Happy Ghost in Cantonese means that kind of heartless optimist, so although there is a word for “ghost”, it doesn’t feel bad for New Year’s Eve. Many people in the theater were attracted by the advertisements of “Oriental Daily”. Otherwise, a film made by a new director and new actors would not have attracted so many audiences on the first day.
And many viewers came from the whole family. When they saw the opening scene of the talent committing suicide, they immediately felt deceived.
“La la la la, la la la, la la la la, la la la…”
The picture suddenly changed. Five young and beautiful girls went out for 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 hanged talent at the beginning, Xu Ke immediately had a deeper understanding of the movie. expect.
Hong Kong films before 1980 were mostly primitive and outdated, whether in terms of shooting techniques or narrative methods, or from the aesthetic perspective of later generations. Movies such as “Dumping Ash”, “Butterfly Change”, “Crazy Tribulation” and other films in recent years immediately attracted attention because they tried to make some kind of breakthrough.
Except for Xu Guanjie and Wenner Band, which were originally performed by singers, the soundtracks of other films were mostly poor. For example, the soundtrack of Cheng Long’s “Junior Brother Going Out” is interesting in some details, but in general it seems that Still very rough. Jiahe’s is a little better. The soundtrack of the Shaw Brothers martial arts film is terrible. A few years ago, Shaw Brothers’ “The World’s First Punch” miraculously won the ninth annual box office in the United States, but that film had almost no positive soundtrack.
Xu Ke originally thought that Kang Jianfei’s own small cost should be unsatisfactory in various details. He didn’t expect that the work on the soundtrack was actually done well, which shows his dedication to the film.
In fact, because of the cottage, Kang Jianfei didn’t pay too much attention in the later period. Even in order to save money, he didn’t even invite professional singers. The male voices in it all sang by himself, and the female voices directly asked Mr. Qin from Tiaojingling Middle School to find girls in the school who were more capable of singing to record, even the theme song “Happy”. “Ghosts”, those rock accompaniments are also looking for a small band in the bar. If it wasn’t for such meticulous planning, the post-production of the film would be completed, let alone the budget of 450,000, it is estimated that 500,000 would not be enough.
Five girls came to the beach, and the names of the three heroines, Li Saifeng, Wen Bixia and Li Shan, were subtitled 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. Their youthful and beautiful figures made the male audience happy.
Although several girls showed Bai Shengsheng’s beautiful thighs, but because they were little girls, not only did they not look salty and wet like Li Hanxiang’s Fengyue film, but instead gave people a very youthful and healthy feeling.
Especially the elderly audience, except those salty and wet guys with perverted hobbies, they all want to have such a beautiful and lovely daughter.
Then came the appearance of five boys. Kang Jianfei’s second male lead was much more handsome than in the original work, especially when he played and sang with his guitar on the beach, which made the audience’s eyes shine.
Chen Bosen said in a low voice, “With the opening song, this is the second original song. How can Kang Jianfei pay someone to write a song?”
Xu Ke laughed, “You forgot that he wrote the theme song of “Shanghai Beach”?”
Chen Bosen patted his forehead: “This guy is really as talented as you said!”
The first 10 minutes of play, although creating a youthful and joyful atmosphere, will inevitably make people feel boring after a long time. But just when the audience ran out of patience, the appearance of Fatty Shen Tianxia immediately activated the atmosphere in the theater.
She didn’t need to say a word, Shen Dianxia hummed a song with her earphones and swept her buttocks and sweeping the floor, which already made the audience laugh. For those who couldn’t understand, you can refer to Uncle Benshan’s appearance at the Spring Festival Gala.
Then the rope attached to Zhu Xiucai’s ghost moved by himself, scare away the puppy, and frightened the wretched uncle played by Xu Ke.
Shi Nansheng pointed at Xu Ke on the screen, laughed until he couldn’t stand upright, and said intermittently, “Old Xu, you… who designed your appearance, and… there is also a hairy traitor hemorrhoid. , well… so bad, oh… laughing at me to death…”
Xu Ke is very speechless, but is he just putting on makeup and acting as a harlequin, does he need to laugh like this?
After Hu Juncai’s happy ghost appeared in the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, laughter and surprise were endless, especially the few dialogues in it that made the audience laugh.
Li Saifeng: “Who are you? Dead thief, are you trying to rob?”
Hu Juncai: “Xiaosheng is not a thief, I am… I am not a person.”
Li Saifeng: “Of course you are not human anymore, you are a beast, breaking into someone’s room in the middle of the night without touching anything, touching the soles of their feet, you are perverted, you are a pervert.”
Hu Juncai: “I’m not a wolf…”
……
Hu Juncai: “Miss, please believe me, I’m a ghost.”
Li Saifeng: “The ghost believes that you are a ghost, you are courting death!”
Hu Juncai: “Ah…you hit someone!”
Li Saifeng: “Didn’t you say you’re not human?”
……
Hu Juncai: “What does MAKELOVE mean?”
Li Saifeng: “MAKELOVE is to be a good friend.”
……
Li Saifeng: “Zhu Chuncai, please don’t care about anyone else, and speak directly.”
Hu Juncai: “Okay, then I’ll be straightforward. If I don’t give up, I wish to make MAKELOVE with the two young ladies.”
Wen Bixia & Li Shan: “Ah… You are so direct, you are so shameless.”
Hu Juncai: “I’ve already made MAKELOVE with her, now it’s the two of you!”
The following games were even more hilarious. A ghost in a Qing Dynasty official uniform appeared in a modern school games, and he didn’t need to speak or move at all, which was enough to make the audience at this time feel novel and laugh. Especially Hu Juncai held Li Saifeng’s long jump and jumped out of the world record, and threw the shot put directly on the rostrum outside the stadium, making the audience burst into tears with laughter and burst into popcorn.
“Hahaha, that Zhu Chuncai is really a pig, he’s really stupid!”
“That one who is taller than others is so bad.”
“Lin Jingjing (Li Saifeng) is so cute~www.readwn.com~ Which actor played it?”
“Che, Lin Xiaohua (Wen Bixia) is beautiful. I will look for Lin Xiaohua when I look for a girlfriend in the future.”
“Dream you!”
“…”
The theater was completely lively, and almost every few minutes, there would be a collective burst of laughter in the auditorium. The theme song of “Happy Ghost” sounded at the ball. After singing it several times, some young audience members had already started to sing along, and the plot of the nun in the back made the audience laugh on their seats again.
The actress of the nun is an ordinary TVB actress that Kang Jianfei looked for. Although her acting skills and funny expressions are not as good as the original Du Lisa, the audience at this time is not the audience who have experienced more sophisticated productions in a few years, and 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 scenes, when you sit in front of the TV or computer, you will only find it interesting, but you will not be able to laugh. But when you are in a movie theater, you will be unconsciously influenced by the emotions of other audience members. A common laugh point is likely to cause you to laugh out loud with other people.
This is also one of the fun and charms of live watching!
After countless bursts of laughter, the second half finally ushered in tears, especially when the school teacher burned the rope with the soul of a happy ghost, some teenage audience members couldn’t help crying.
Chen Bosen sighed: “It makes people cry and make people laugh. The atmosphere of this movie is so powerful. “Happy Ghost” is going to be popular, and Kang Jianfei and several heroines are also going to be popular!”
