uses the simplest sentence to describe "The Seven": another movie produced by Galaxy Image .
For fans who are familiar with Hong Kong movies, this sentence is enough. After all, the three men behind the four words "Galaxy Image", that is, the main creative force of the company, cannot be underestimated: Johnnie To, , Wei Jiahui, and You Dazhi.
Not only in the Hong Kong film industry, but in the entire Chinese film industry, and even in the world of film, they can be regarded as holding up the sky.
The moment I saw the trailer, I had mixed feelings. I can’t say that my youth is back, but it’s true that I haven’t regained this familiar feeling for a long time.
It is difficult to count how many good films they have produced. Wu has "The Birth of a Prefix", "Very Sudden", "Dark War", "Big Brother" and "PTU". In the cold and desperate atmosphere, Liu Qingyun Louis Koo and other royal actors are all dark and ruthless, and they interpret scenes of wolves chasing and fighting in the urban forest;

Both male and female audiences can find what they like in their movies, and all genres can be caught in one place. This is the best realm that dream makers can achieve, right?
Unfortunately, they stopped creating after the 2012 " drug war ".
After eight years of waiting, these big guys finally reappeared. This time they staged a group show, bringing together a group of Hong Kong's top directors. Each director drew lots to be responsible for an era from the 1950s to the future. , directed a story.
Let’s take a look at these famous names: Sammo Hung , Hui On-wah, Tam Kar-ming , Yuen Woo-ping , Tsui Hark , Lam Ling-tung and Johnnie To himself. Among the seven short films of
, Lam Ling-tung's part is the director's last work.
The title of the film is also very interesting, it is called "Seven-member Band". The big guys of
put on a band and sang a good show together.
This film was shortlisted for the 73rd Cannes Film Festival. It is Johnnie To's second official Cannes exhibitor after "The Big Deal", "Underworld", "The Iron Triangle" , " Revenge " and " Blind Detective ". The film was also invited to be the opening film of the 2020 Busan International Film Festival, and the first trailer of the film was simultaneously released. The moment the image of
appeared, I was swept and enveloped by the strong Hong Kong flavor.
The retro nostalgia is certain and what all moviegoers look forward to.
The cheongsam girl at the opening walked by, inexplicably thinking of Wong Kar-Wai, but as the picture landed, behind the child who was looking at the small TV with his back to the camera, Simon Yam wearing reading glasses appeared. The feeling of
galaxy image comes online instantly.
Old Hong Kong, old times.
In chronological order, the story from the 1950s directed by Sammo Hung that appeared first is called "Rooftop Practice". The role of son Hong Tianming is his father's former teacher: Yu Zhanyuan.
Yu Zhanyuan is a martial artist and a famous Peking Opera actor when he was young. After moving to Hong Kong, he both sang on stage and acted on the screen. He founded the "Chinese Drama Research Institute" and recruited many disciples. Popular stars such as Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan all studied under him. He was also the creator of the hit "Seven Little Blessings".
The name "Seven Little Fortunes" was originally a Beijing opera composed mainly by Yu Zhanyuan for his apprentices. It is also the general name for his group of proud disciples. There are dozens of them, among which the most consistent and outstanding Those are Yuan Long (Sammo Hung), Yuen Lou (Jackie Chan), Yuan Biao , Yuan Kui , Yuan Hua , Yuan De and Yuan Wu.
Combining the above, you can roughly guess the plot. It will be interesting to see how the director interprets it, but it should be interesting no matter what, after all, Hong's comedic kung fu movie image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It was directed by Xu Anhua in the 1960s, and the story is called "The Principal".
The principal with glasses is played by Ng Zhenyu .
Chen Jiashang once commented on Xu Anhua: There are not many directors who have both strong cultural heritage and sensitive social observation, and Xu Anhua is one of the best.
As the only female director in the film, her entry point may be more delicate and soft.
In the 1980s, it belonged to Tan Jiaming's "Farewell Night".
As one of the representatives of the new wave of Hong Kong films and the movement, Tam Jiaming's films are obviously stylized and are known for their sharp images. His first work "The Famous Sword" is regarded as one of the iconic works in the rise of the new wave of Hong Kong films; in 2006, "Father and Son" starring Aaron Kwok, Yang Caini, etc. won numerous awards.
Tan Jiaming's editing skills should not be underestimated. The classics he has handled include " Days of Being Wild", "Ashes of Time" and other masterpieces that are well-known in the Chinese film industry.
However, after "After Father and Son", Tan Jiaming gradually faded out of the public eye. This time he joins the cast at such a young age, it can be said to be particularly precious.
Then finally in the 1990s, Yuan Heping, "Return".
For Hong Kong, the biggest event in the 1990s was its return. Yuan Heping is best at martial arts. We look forward to seeing how these two elements will collide.
Unlike Sammo Hung’s authentic Hong Kong action comedy, Yuen Woo-Ping’s martial arts aesthetics has won him a lot of international reputation. I believe this story can bring a more shocking visual experience to the audience.
The final trilogy is left to the "Iron Triangle" of Hong Kong movies: Johnnie To, Lam Ling-tung, and Tsui Hark.
Three veterans of Hong Kong films came out together to play a final trio to the golden age of Hong Kong films.
The first is the millennium story: "Gold Everywhere", created by Johnnie To himself.
As the brain-level figure of "Galaxy", Johnnie To is definitely a resounding golden sign. His works have a distinctive image that stands out from the crowd. You can often tell at the first glance that they are from his handiwork. This is also a must for all outstanding artists. quality.
Both business and art are the magic weapon for Johnnie To's success. He can stand on the throne of high box office and look down on everyone, or he can be proud of the world with awards in hand. He can walk between money and art with ease and ease. The shot of the Chinese tea restaurant in the
trailer is a symbol of Director Du's personal style, and the familiar feeling is back.
Lam Ling-tung's posthumous work is undoubtedly the most anticipated. The part called "Lost" was completed before his death. Director Lam wrote the script himself, with Simon Yam and Gong Ci'en co-starring.
The shot at the beginning of the trailer must be from this part.
Lin Lingdong's son also starred in the film, playing the role of their son.
It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this story. It is a pity that he will not be able to see the effect after the release.
The last "In-depth Dialogue" by Tsui Hark.
The old monster's imagination makes him invincible in the world of martial arts images, and this time is no exception, although it is presented in a form wrapped in the real world.
However, the cooperation between Zhang Daming and Yuan Hua seems to give people a hint of comedy.
's seven directorial dramas were shot on full film, paying homage to the bygone "film" era. From the director's team to the actors, all the big names gathered together, making the film a star-studded one.
In addition to looking forward to it, it is still looking forward to it.
