"Book of Rites. "Nei Ze" contains: "Thirteen years to learn music, recite poetry and dance spoons, and become a child to dance like a master." So the ancients called the boy at the age of thirteen or four as the "dancing spoon." "Year of the Year", as the name suggests, means that boys at this age will learn a kind of literary dance called "dancing spoon", while girls at this time are known as "Cardamom Years". It’s just me in my impression. In the "Year of the Dancing Spoon" at that time, many of the delicate girls of "The Year of the Cardamom" had been bullied all day long. What is meant by a "Dancing Spoon" was roughly in the darkness of the video studio. I never get tired of it on the yellowed inferior sofa.
If you talk about the video room, many people who are already in the year of "knowing the destiny" still sneer at it. As the incident in which there was no "Blue Speed Internet Cafe" in Beijing before, it is called a negative case of everyone shouting and fighting in the whole country. At that time, the video room was once regarded as a hotbed of "pornography, gambling and drug" in which the yellow culture spread freely. In the dim light, at midnight, there would be a lot of people sneaking into it sneakily. Beneath the smoky smoky atmosphere, his eyes are staring straight at the eye-catching and unintelligible content on the screen. Whenever those who have been to such and such occasions, when they mention such scenes, They are all with some expressions of secretive secrets and unfinished expressions, just like the Xiangzi who lost his beloved little Fuzi in Lao She’s "Camel Xiangzi" and then began to fall for himself. After spending a day's hard-earned money with Sister Yao, she woke up like a dream but couldn't help but reminisce about the ambivalence of the spring night.
Of course, at that time, I had never been to a video room similar to the one mentioned above. The situation was mostly caused by young but premature classmates who took off their panties in the men’s room and smashed their ass. When the walls are mottled, they describe to me vividly, just as they often like to describe how a certain girl in the same class develops and is different from ordinary people’s enthusiasm, and in this period of transition from a child to a teenager, often When I was young and Mu Ai, I was always happy with such topics, but at this time, I realized with hindsight. I turned a deaf ear to such topics, and I just liked to go there and it was already broadcast. The picture quality is clearer and is attracted by new DVDs that do not require rewinding.
At that time, the rental discs and DVD video discs were mostly pirated discs. This was closely related to the neglect of copyright in the overall social concept of our country at that time. However, pirated video discs naturally eliminated the power. In addition to trying out all kinds of films that have just been released in the first time, the clarity is naturally not guaranteed. The bosses of many disc shops in Booger, in addition to renting discs, are ingenious and take the extra in their stores. After the space is used and transformed, some cheap sofas, TVs, etc. can be added, and at the same time, it can provide the service of playing discs in the store. Although the audio-visual environment is completely unworthy for now, it was for the student days at that time. We are undoubtedly extremely convenient, because most parents think that our children who are on the verge of puberty are extremely noisy, so we are forbidden to mess around in the home of our friends, so that small dish does it. In the middle, only two to three yuan per person, you can watch your favorite genre videos as you like.
Among these, the most talked about by us are horror movies.
In "The Second King of Mencius Lianghui", it is said that "pleasure alone is not as good as all others". It is true that the effect of watching a movie together with a group of people is indeed better than watching a movie alone, especially For horror movies, there are many fears and fears that you will be afraid of when you are alone. What's more, they often turn off the TV after watching halfway through, and a group of people have more courageous effects, not to mention there are Everyone was in front, even though they were timid, they were ashamed to say it in front of them, so as not to make people laugh, so I had to bite the bullet and watch it, so at this moment, I was fortunate to follow the crowd or Classmates, or friends, have long been forgotten by me in the disc shop where I only remember that the boss is a young man who was born early, and watched many such as "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" and "Friday the 13th", There are many kinds of classic horror films at home and abroad with different styles such as "Munky Ghost Street". Among them, the "Ghosts" trilogy directed by Sam Remy is the most impressive to me. To this day, it is still unforgettable.
Of course, if you mention Sam Remy, in order to prevent many people from thinking that I am carrying a meaningless book bag that I understand and pretend to be confused, I don’t think I should introduce it as "Ghost Man" or "evil dead". "The director of the "series" should be called the director of the 2002 version and the 2004 version of "Spider-Man" with Tobey Maguire as the male lead. Of course, if you mention Spider-Man, many people will be surprised. The sense of "so that's how it is", it is true that Sam Remy did become famous because of the "Spider-Man" series. The film "Spider-Man" was a big success at that time, and it also made Sam Remy's this one in the eyes of everyone before. The director of a horror film advocating black humor produced at a small cost of B-level film has become a hot first-line entertainment film director in Hollywood, and similar to his situation, there are also those who were born as MV directors. , It is also because of an anime adaptation of the film "Transformers" that became popular with Michael Bay, and the intersecting Michael Bay, who was also once a MTV director, but also because of the comic adaptation of the film "Spartan 300". "Warrior" became a hit, Zach Schneider, who even directed the best of DC Comics in 2016, "Batman vs. Superman", but compared to the "Batman vs. Superman", which was regarded as a standard by fans and was praised by fans. "Watchmen" can be said to have mixed reputation, and Sam Remy is now among the top two real Hollywood directors, and it is not much to say. In 2009, it was reported that it was also reported by Blizzard Movies. Industry and Legendary Pictures invited to become a fan of endless calls. Wan Chuan Qiushui’s epic masterpiece "World of Warcraft" was directed only because of Sam Remy at that time or because he was focusing on filming "Wonderland and Wizardry". , For directing "World of Warcraft", it was a bit half-hearted, so that the consequences were unsurprisingly friction with Blizzard, and it was finally gone.
It is true that if I invite any late horror film enthusiast to watch Sam Remy’s then debut novel "Ghosts", most of them will spit on my face directly and give them the botched horror movie. The special effects and the plasma effect that seems out of date nowadays are ridiculed, but what many people ignore is that when Sam Remy shot the first "Ghost Man" in 1979, he did not go through any professional film direction. Trained, and the entire crew is only a handful of people. They hurriedly found a remote hut in the forest. After picking up the few shooting props, they started hastily. The budget is only less than US$90,000. All of this makes this film, which has long been regarded as a classic by many CULT movie fans, even in the eyes of the audience at that time, it is full of loopholes, and it is like using a handheld. Home audio tapes taken by the camera are generally indistinguishable.
Just as the "Death Video" shot by the late Spanish directors Haomei Barnagueru and Paka Bra's unique handheld camera follow-up method and extremely low cost has caused a sensation worldwide, Although Sam Remy's "Ghosts" is low in cost, low in shooting equipment and jerky shooting techniques, although it has aroused disdain from some audiences, its use on a large amount of blood plasma, as far as that era is concerned, It can be regarded as a no-comer before, so similar to the unreasonable and almost naked "violent" performance technique, but it has been tortured by all kinds of bluffing and painless horror films of the same type at that time. The drowsy audience took an overdose of adrenaline. Although Sam Remy has not received professional film training, it is precisely for this reason that he is unruly, but he does not appear to be talented in the performance of the picture and the creation of the atmosphere of horror. , It is refreshing for those ecstatic audiences who are immersed in it and cannot extricate themselves from it. Whether it is rapid scene changes or rapid changes in the lens, this small-cost film is full of tension. The director Sam Ray The black humor of the protagonist played by Bruce Campbell, who played by Mi's hair, sometimes shows when blood splashes in a crowd. It also makes the audience feel the double roller coaster above the psychological and sensory in the twists and turns of the plot, so they can't extricate themselves. It can be said that if the "Spider-Man" series that has been surging at the box office has achieved the status of Sam Remy's first-line Hollywood entertainment film director, then the "Ghost Man" trilogy has made Sam Remy unique among horror films. The unique movie style. What's more, when the first film of "Ghost Man" was filmed, Europe and the United States were in the low ebb of horror film genre, and the appearance of "Ghost Man" had to be said to have become a good dose of the horror film market. The film’s ingenious and unique horror scenes and atmosphere creation methods pointed out the way forward for those directors who were in a period of confusion. Even the master of horror novel Stephen King was very much The "Playing with People" series has not hesitated to praise and give high praise, thinking that its significance is extraordinary, leading a new wave of horror films, latecomers such as George Romero's "Return of the Living Dead" and "The Group The CULT films that have been talked about by people such as "The Dead" are more or less influenced by the "Ghosts" series.
The story of the "Ghost Man" series also revolves around a mysterious book called "The Book of the Dead", and the setting of this book is not difficult to see. The master of American horror novels, Edward Philip Lovecraft’s "The Myth of Cthulhu", which is often mentioned in the "Myth of Cthulhu", was written by the Arabian crazy poet Abdullah Al-Hassad in 730 AD Yes, the horror book in this movie rumored to be written in the dark age of 1300 when the sea was still bloody, the cover and pages are all made of the skin of the person who has gone to hell, and the records are also those ancient dormant demons and That anecdote is secret, and the whole book exists as a channel connecting two dimensions of time. The protagonist in the film undoubtedly chanted the spell in the book, which led to a series of tragedies. .
In the myth of Cthulhu, this book written by the mad Arab poet Abdullah Al-Hassad in 730 AD runs through the entire system of "The Myth of Cthulhu," many of which are Articles such as "Crazy Mountains", "Night Demon", "Shadow of Innsmouth" all mention this mysterious book and its mysterious author. Hiding in an unknown corner of the earth, or sleeping in a little-known mountain range, the horrible whispers of the ancient gods and the horrible whispers and summons necessary for his appearance All kinds of weird spells, and the author of this book, the crazy Arab poet Abdullah Al-Hassad, is even more secretive, surrounded by many mysteries. According to legend, he was after finishing the book of "The Book of the Dead". , In broad daylight, under the eyes of everyone, on the streets of Damascus, being torn and swallowed alive by the invisible creatures, and so far, whether there is a real existence of this book in history is still It is also an unsolved mystery.
Just as many film and television works or literary works have more or less borrowed from the myth of Cthulhu, Sam Remy's important props "Book of the Dead" throughout the film in "Ghosts" The setting is also borrowed from the "Book of Necropolis" in the myth of Cthulhu, and this kind of appropriate reference is to make the whole film that looks like a home video taken by a home audio recorder, and more A sense of realism and realism makes the audience feel more immersive, so that when they walk out of the movie theater, they will still feel the chill from the inside and the cold heart. , I have to say, this kind of whimsy can be said to be Sam Remy's magical work with half the effort.
It’s just that since the filming of "Spider-Man" and its great success, Sam Remy, who has risen in value and made a lot of money, seems to have completely said goodbye to the shooting of horror films and devoted himself to the shooting of commercial films in the entertainment industry. It’s like a new Hollywood director, and occasionally he has been the producer of many horror films such as "The Grudge 2", although he directed it in 2009 according to the Gypsy legend. And the changed "Fall to Hell" also made people exclaim that the "ghost play man" style Sam Remy is back in a flash, although in 2013, although it is known as a collection of the original "ghost play man" The director of the cast’s "New Haunted Man" was replaced by Federico Alvarez, who had only filmed the short film "Panic Attack" before, and "New Haunted Man" was Federico Alvarez, who made his feature film debut. It’s Sam Remy’s inextricably good friend, the former starring Bruce Campbell of "Ghosts", but it is obvious that this film is a refurbishment of a classic horror film with a glorious history, but it is not satisfactory. From this film, people can't help but feel that Sam Remy's horror film is drifting away.
Perhaps it is because of the enthusiasm and eagerness of the loyal fans who once talked about the "Ghosts" series, or they are unwilling to experience the change of director of "World of Warcraft". Or it’s unforgettable that the skills of the old line are unbearable. In 2015, Sam Remy joined his old friend, Campbell of the former "Ghosts" series, and launched the "Ghosts" series. TV series.
The TV series still revolves around ASH, the protagonist of "Ghosts". Thirty years have passed. After experiencing the loss of his girlfriend, ASH has been living a life of escape from the world, although it is still Employed in the former home appliance retail company, and the former shotguns and powerful chainsaws were also put into the warehouse by his knives and guns. Ma put Nanshan on the shelf, but inadvertently one time with a prostitute after the help of drugs. While having fun, he asked ASH to recite the spell through the Book of Necromancy, and at the same time awakened the demons who had been dormant in the book for thirty years, waiting for an opportunity to move, so ASH had no choice but to carry it again. The book of necromancers, leading the newly joined partners, embarked on a long journey to find a way to end all this.
Although the story script is as plain as water and clichés as the previous "Ghosts", the once angular Bruce Campbell is also facing the dilemma of getting blessed, but although it is new wine in an old bottle, it is starring Bross. Campbell's once-familiar wicked smile and inadvertent frenzied air, coupled with Sam Remy's unique performance techniques, gave the audience what they saw at first glance. When the hero falls into the twilight, the disappointment of Yiren’s absence is alive and subverted, and it turns into an unstoppable tummy, and even more unexpectedly, it seems that someday after many years, I was surprised to find that the house was once by myself. The old store that has been missed for decades has returned to its old business and reopened with a general sense of surprise, although the production of this series is as easy as Sam Remy’s previous "Ghosts" series. There are many shortcomings found by the audience in terms of cost, but nowadays, Sikong, who has been bombarded by the earth-shattering special effects, is surprised. Whether it is aesthetics or an audience whose eyeballs are already tired, they suddenly feel refreshed. It seems that the rough special effects picture has been deliberately done by the director. The rough and slightly random shots and the hearty blood and organs full of the screen, in today’s uniform movies that pay attention to special effects and pictures, do indeed bring There is a trace of authenticity and uniqueness that is unique to the 1980s.
And former audiences will also be familiar with discovering in the film that the demons summoned by the book of the dead in "Ghosts" are all as naughty and evil as they once were. It seems that Sam Remy In the horror films directed by the ghosts and demons, they both like to possess themselves and cause trouble. This is different from the monsters in many horror films, which are powerful and powerful in their own right. Sam Remy Lamia, the monster cursed by Hera in the Greek mythology in "Fell into Hell", is more than Lamia in "Pan's Labyrinth" directed by Gilmour del Toro. It seems extremely vicious, and Sam Remy’s unique sense of humor and the deconstruction of the film’s postmodernist approach, it seems that the film is somewhat unique and catches the eye, and even when the audience watches the horror films he directed, they often Inexplicable ideas such as "fun" and "interesting" will come up.
The episode "Ghosts" has now ended its first season. It has been well received in Europe and the United States. The second season is now over. The shooting of the third season is in full swing. There were rumors the day before. The filming work of the third season is almost over. Soon, the third season will meet with domestic audiences. Compared with most horror films, it is a lingering fear. The series of "People" will make people laugh and re-define their perception of horror movies.
