Excellent movie episodes are enough to support the classic Half the Sky, in which the tacit cooperation of filmmakers and musicians is inevitable. Their tireless achievements are also the most easily overlooked.
The film of the King of Sunglasses has always been regarded as a must-see by young literary and artistic young people. It combines Du Kefeng's unique shaking shots and Zhang Shuping's delicate art and editing. Of course, among these iconic elements of "no art, no life", there are also indispensable classic soundtracks.
Wong Kar-wai once asked an actor to translate I love you, and an actress translated it as I love you.
The king of sunglasses said, how can you say such a thing, it should be
I haven't been on a motorcycle for a long time, and I haven't tried to get this close to a person in a long time, although I know the road is not very far. I know I'll be off the bus soon. However, this minute, I feel so warm.
The actor who translates into I love you is the famous Hong Kong beauty Li Jiaxin. At the end of the movie "Fallen Angels" directed by Wong Kar-wai, Li Meiren sat on a motorcycle, leaning on Takeshi Kaneshiro's back, and spoke out the "I love you" edited by Wong Kar-wai, and then a pure human voice. The music spreads. The pictures and soundtracks at that time were all set as classics.
"Fallen Angels" is starring Dawn, Li Jiaxin, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Cai Ni Yang and Karen Mok. These five fallen angels do not have names in the film and are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively. It tells the absurd story of these 5 characters who have intertwined behaviors and meet each other under the night sky of the city.
The soundtrack in "Fallen Angels" is by Chen Xunqi. He is recognized as a Hong Kong film all-rounder, the best soundtrack in Hong Kong directors, the best producer in the soundtrack, the best speeding director in the production, the best screenwriter in the speeding director, and one of the most famous actors in the screenwriter. , one of the most successful directors among actors.
Miss Dong really feels that it is necessary to add a biography to Chen Xunqi, the brilliant master. Of course, today we are going to talk about the movie that won him the best soundtrack at the 15th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1996. . Chen Xunqi himself once said that after finishing the soundtrack of "Fallen Angels", he doesn't want to do this work anymore, because "Fallen Angels" means the splendid peak of his soundtrack work.
In "Fallen Angels", director Wong Kar-wai and musician Chen Xunqi used more soundtracks for the two male protagonists, Liming and Kaneshiro, especially Liming, who bears the title of King of Heaven.
The three women Li Jiaxin, Yang Caini and Karen Mok mainly rely on the two male protagonists. Because Li Jiaxin has too much intertwined with Liming and Jin Chengwu, the music arranged for her also accounts for a large proportion.
Angel No. 1 Dawn is a professional killer, and Chen Xunqi customized many exclusive BGM (background music) for his appearance. Li Tianwang's first appearance scene, leaving only a hurried back, accompanied by his exclusive BGM, a glimpse.
This piece of music is called "First killing", which means "first killing". Although it has not yet started "doing things", the BGM must be in place. When the first killer mission is performed in the future, this reason will be fully presented.
Li Tianwang stepped on the music drum and went out to "do things"
Have you been overwhelmed by the handsome Dawn who came out of this BGM! ! ! The smoking shot is also beautiful! Of course, the coolest piece of music is this piece of music, which can be called the best BGM pretending to be cool. The murmured Cantonese rapper adds a lot to the cold and oppressive atmosphere, and seems to be venting the unruly heart of the killer.
During the shootout, the fire of calcium carbide was very close, but the music never stopped, feel the style of the two-gun general Li Tianwang back then
After the battle, on the car returning home from work, I ran into an elementary school classmate——
"A lot of people think that we don't have any friends in our industry, but in fact, the killer also has elementary school classmates."
The arrangement of the King of Sunglasses is so hilarious. Even if there is no soundtrack, Miss Dong couldn't help but cut it off.
In the camera, Liming smiled softly, and his classmates sold him insurance and claimed to be "the most popular salesman in Southeast Asia". Li Tianwang's mood at this time: I really want to shoot this bastard, haha~
The completion of the mission is of course celebrated with a music called "Complete the Mission", the rhythm is obviously much lighter, with a sense of relief and joy. In the camera is the busy Angel No. 2 Li Jiaxin. She is the business partner of No. 1 Dawn, arranging business for him and doing the aftermath. She is cleaning Dawn at this time.
She never met him because they were both willing to believe that the ideal business partner shouldn't have feelings.
Angel No. 2 Li Jiaxin brought back the rubbish and sundries that had been cleaned up from Dawn Room No. 1 to her place of residence. She opened it up the same, looking for his trajectory, just a few words, and smelling his scent
The music of "Bar Scene" sounded, the classic blues melody, and an ambiguous feeling emerged spontaneously. Li Jiaxin came to the bar frequented by Liming and sat in the seat he once sat, "Because of this, I really want to feel with him"
High-energy warning ahead! ! ! Li Jiaxin is a very realistic person, she knows how to make herself happy!
She threw a coin into the jukebox, and the sound of "Shenjiao" by Master Chen Qixun's "unique secret system" came faintly, please feel the style of this painting
Yes, you got it right, she's rolling herself in! ! ! Please make up your own mind about the wonderful scene. This beautiful scene of Li Jiaxin, combined with the sound of make love created by Chen Qixun, is charming to the core.
With the accompaniment of the music of "Second Killing", Li Tianwang made the second "business". Compared with the previous "First Killing", the theme of this music has not changed much, and it is a special BGM for the killer to appear on the scene.
Taking off his sunglasses means that the killer is about to start his work, and the handsome characters in capital letters are pasted on his face
In the business of the next order, the killer came to collect the bill. Unexpectedly, there was an accident and he was attacked back and forth. The soundtrack that appeared was called "Zhong Fu", which succinctly described the development of the movie. The music also became tortuous, and the drum beats. closer, making people feel the tense atmosphere
Dawn, who was injured and escaped after the ambush, took the bullet for himself, and a song "Elegy of the Killer" played slowly, which set off this tragic scene and seemed to indicate the tragic fate of the killer.
He felt tired. Between going and staying, he wanted to make a choice, so he asked Angel Li Jiaxin No. 2 to meet and wanted to tell her his decision. In the song "The Killer Elegy", Li Jiaxin didn't wait for him for a long time, and the killer missed the appointment.
Dawn came to the bar, and the music of "Bar Scene" was pouring slowly. He couldn't bear the loneliness of the killer, so he asked the bartender to hand over a coin to Li Jiaxin.
"In two days, if a woman is looking for me, please give her this coin and tell her that my lucky number is 1818."
Li Jiaxin came to the bar, she put the coin into the jukebox, and Shuyi Guan's "Forget Him" poured out. The black picture can't hide the gorgeous bloom of this intoxicating flower. With the singing, her loneliness and her loneliness swept over.
The suffocating Li Jiaxin returned to the room, accompanied by the extravagant voice of "Forget Him", and staged a self-blame of the actress level again.
In the rainy night, she cried bitterly after the indulgence. This hatred is endless, and the lingering sound lingers around the beam.
At the same time, the killer Dawn is not idle, he meets the neurotic Angel No. 5 Karen Mok, he just wants to have a company.
In Guan Shuyi's singing, Liming and Karen Mok are extremely lingering.
The song "Forget Him" was composed by Huang Zhan in 1968. It was first recorded in Teresa Teng's Cantonese album "Breakthrough" in the early 1980s. In the film, the cover version of Kwan Shuyi was selected. Compared with Teresa Teng's sweet and charming voice, Guan Shuyi's interpretation released the sound of a lonely tea millet, which is more in line with the tone of fallen angels.
Angel No. 3, the beautiful young Takeshi Kaneshiro went online. When he was 5 years old, he ate a can of expired canned pineapple and never spoke again.
The scene of Takeshi Kaneshiro riding a motorcycle crookedly in the undersea tunnel, the background music is an old Cantonese song - Xu Yanqiu's "A Good Night Is Really Cute", very cheerful.
It is worth mentioning that this song is also used in the plot of Ip Man's first arrival in Hong Kong in Wong Kar-wai's other film "The Grand Master", which shows how much the King of Sunglasses cherishes this song.
Takeshi Kaneshiro often runs other people's stores in the middle of the night to do business, as a boss without capital. The handsome guy who sneaked into the pork shop to do business and massaged the pig in the middle of the night was really drunk. . .
"In business, you should take care of the needs of every customer. The Buddha said that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? To be a boss, you should have love, and you shouldn't be too concerned about gains and losses. I know very well that the world is not free. lunch, so every night I work hard and do it late. Although I don’t make a lot of money, I live happily.”
Feel the joy of the second force young Takeshi Kaneshiro. Cutting the trail in the middle of the night, buying and selling if you disagree, is even more domineering than the Liangshan hero, all of which were learned from Lei Feng when he was a child. . .
When I was in the laundry business, I forcibly stripped passers-by of the laundry
Forcibly selling eggplants to female customers in the vegetable vendor business
When doing a barber shop business, one-stop forcibly cutting hair and shampooing hair, and then shaving others after finishing
The unfortunate eldest brother just came out of the barber shop the night before, and after paying 100 yuan, he finally saved his beard
Unexpectedly, he went out to buy ice cream with an umbrella the next night, and was caught by Takeshi Kaneshiro who turned into a domineering cold drink brother.
In an interlude, this gold medal passerby is called Chen Huihong, the boss of the Hong Kong record company, who often makes cameo appearances in movies. The queens, Lin Yilian and Zhou Xun, are his old loves.
Call the whole family to "share" the ice cream assigned to him by Takeshi Kaneshiro
Brother, I haven't heard of anyone choking on ice cream in Hong Kong, but I don't really want to try it!
This section is very happy to watch. In the end, Takeshi Kaneshiro used the ice cream car to drive the whole family of "Uncle Injustice" on the road. The music of "Ice Cream Car" sounded. Chen Xunqi's soundtrack was sweet and touching, and the scene was very warm.
This piece of "Ice Cream Truck" seems to have brought the No. 3 Angel Takeshi Kaneshiro back to his childhood and realized his vision.
Next, Takeshi Kaneshiro met Yang Caini, the No. 4 angel who had just been abandoned by her boyfriend, and accompany her to seek revenge on her rival
In the midnight fast food restaurant, the two experienced a fight for no reason. The music of "Big Rush" is so explosive, feel the fighting scene, Chen Qixun's brain is wide open, and the soundtrack makes people's blood boil
after fighting
I'm a late bloomer, maybe I'm more demanding. On May 30, 1995, I finally got my first love
Suddenly I feel like I'm a shop and she's the one I let her run in without knowing it, I don't know how long she'll be there, the longer the better
Under the soundtrack of "Young Lover Blues", Takeshi Kaneshiro rested his head lazily on Yang Caini's body. He wished that this girl was his first love. And she doesn't seem to take him to heart, but absent-mindedly rests her cheek in one hand, thinking about something
On June 22, 1995, the Italian team Sendoria came to Hong Kong to play a friendly match
Takeshi Kaneshiro took Yang Caini to the stadium to watch the ball, the motorcycle drove through the undersea tunnel, and the accompaniment music was "Mercedes-Benz Music". Friendly reminder, it is easy to overspeed while driving while listening to this music, and the rhythm is too dazzling.
After the show, Yang Caini thought of her first love again. Although Takeshi Kaneshiro was a little disappointed, he was a very optimistic person. The two young men hugged each other in the passageway of the stadium. The second segment of "Young Lover Blues" plays
I've heard people say that everything expires. I don't know when her relationship with Johnny will expire, but I think it should be soon
In this music story, Wong Kar-wai took out the stalk of expired canned pineapples in "Chongqing Forest" and revisited it again, and instantly felt distressed about Takeshi Kaneshiro, a good Chinese spare tire in the movie.
After watching this game, the No. 4 angel Yang Caini disappeared into the life of Takeshi Kaneshiro out of thin air, and he fell out of love
After that day, my heart seemed to disappear suddenly, like my first love. I began to feel that what I did in the past was very irresponsible. I should not open other people's stores casually. I came and went as I said, because every store has feelings.
So, Takeshi Kaneshiro ended his business.
Finally the two male gods are in the same frame
Killer Dawn came to a Japanese-style pub where Takeshi Kaneshiro worked as a "barbecue worker". . . Feel the peak duel between the two high-value "fallen male angels"
Jincheng Wu used the old-fashioned VCR in the tavern to play Guan Shuyi's "Forget Him"
This song reminds Li Jiaxin of Li Jiaxin and his past
It's been a long time since I've been to a bar because I don't want to see my lucky number, but there are some things that can't be avoided. After that, I never went to this store again
Liming never came to the shop where Takeshi Kaneshiro was, because of the song "Forget Him". Entangled characters, intertwined fates, he feels lonely, he gets bored. Next, he is going to meet those things that cannot be avoided.
Takeshi Kaneshiro filmed his father's daily life with a borrowed camera.
The soundtrack of this scene is the Hokkien version of "The Longing Man" sung by Qi Qin
The sense of substitution of this old song is very strong, and it brings out the feelings of a pair of unknown father and son to the extreme. When you hear this song again, I believe you will definitely think of your father and be poke into tears.
I slept until midnight that night, and I found my dad secretly looking at the tape. He was very happy. Although I was careless in many things, I remember very clearly that it was my dad's sixtieth birthday. He looked and laughed, not knowing what he was laughing at. But I know he is happy.
In the pouring rain, the killer Dawn came to find the No. 5 angel Karen Mok and proposed to her to break up.
When we parted, a piece of "The Prodigal Son" was played - since you have chosen to be a prodigal son, you will never berth
It doesn't really matter whether I remember her or not. For her, I'm just a process. I hope she can find someone who truly loves her as soon as possible.
Dawn walked away without looking back, getting rid of this dewy love that never ended.
The break between Li Jiaxin and Li Jiaxin, she asked him
At work, she is a good partner, but she is not a person who can live together
In reality and in the movie, this pair of golden boys and girls failed to reach the end
Liming said that he would not cooperate with her in the future, so she asked Liming to help her with her last business. The music of "The Last Mission" sounded, empty, far away, and a mysterious silence
Dawn did not reject her
The percussion of the music was intensified, and in the dense drum beats of "The Last Mission", Li Jiaxin arranged the final mission. Tucao about this code word, Wang Feng will definitely cry when he sees it. He didn't expect it to be so easy to make a headline, just make a phone call. As everyone knows, it's just Dawn's feedback with his life.
Dawn comes to the scene of doing things, and the accompanying soundtrack is "The killer's Death" (the death of the killer)
He wanted to try to do the last business by himself without Li Jiaxin's assistance, but he failed.
"Killer Elegy" sounded, ethereal and disillusioned. The killer died in the gunfire.
Takeshi Kaneshiro's father also died. At night, he sat there lonely, wearing a hat, and he repeatedly watched the video of his father's death. "The Longing Man" sounded again, with tears in his eyes
He went back to his old business and became the midnight boss. One night, Takeshi Kaneshiro met Yang Caini, an angel who disappeared from his life. She became normal and decent, dressed in a flight attendant uniform. The soundtrack is still their sweet tone "Young Lover Blues", but she seems to have forgotten him, she's waiting for her boyfriend
What's interesting is that Wong Kar-wai used the stalk from "Chongqing Forest" again, so that Yang Cai Ni recreated the scene when Faye Wong appeared.
No. 2 Angel Li Jiaxin and No. 3 Angel Takeshi Kaneshiro, two people who felt that winter came early, finally met
Takeshi Kaneshiro, who was beaten to death, met Li Jiaxin who was eating alone
I know we won't become friends, or confidants, because we've had too many opportunities to pass by, until the clothes are almost torn, and I haven't seen the sparks, I don't know if it's because of the weather , that night I thought she was very kind.
When I left, I asked him to take me home. I haven't been on a motorcycle for a long time, and I haven't tried to get this close to a person in a long time, although I know the road is not very far. I know I'll be off the bus soon. However, this minute, I feel so warm.
Takeshi Kaneshiro carried Li Jiaxin through the undersea tunnel for the last time and sent her home. The last piece of music in the whole film as the finishing touch - "Only You" by Flying Pickets, a pure vocal chorus, sounded
Super awesome voice, if you read the article here, don't disappoint Miss Dong's request, go and listen
The tunnel is actually very short, and some people have used it all their lives and never leave.
