1979 Golden Age

Liu Xuehua is from Beijing and came to Hong Kong when she was five years old.

She was admitted to the Great Wall Actor Training Class and debuted with several girls. She filmed several dramas but never became popular. She didn't understand before, but now she knows that there is no future in Zuopai Company.

Her contract will expire next year, and she is not planning to renew it.

Liu Xuehua is 170 cm tall and only 21 years old. She is pure and lovely. In fact, her appearance can be sad or heroic, but she has filmed too many Qiong Yao dramas, which has left people with a stereotype.

"Xuehua, come this way!"

At this moment, at the entrance of Zuopai's Southern Theater, Shi Hui waved to her and asked her to come over, smiling: "You are dressed so beautifully today, this skirt is beautiful."

"Just bought it."

"You should wear more skirts in the future. You are tall and can support it. Unlike me, I am short."

Today is the premiere of "Wrong Turn". Although it is a premiere, no guests can be invited. Fu Qi, Shi Hui and others attended, plus the main creative team, just for the sake of showing it.

The director is Mou Dunfu, who filmed under a pseudonym. He is from Shaw Brothers and cannot show up openly, so he didn't come today.

This guy later joined the leftists and filmed "Black Sun 731".

A few people went in and went to the second-floor box. Liu Xuehua sat for a while. Seeing that the audience was still sparse, she sighed secretly: The Great Wall was suppressed, and the new film was released without much splash. I really can't stay.

She looked at Shi Hui. She still respected Shi Hui very much, but she couldn't say it now.

"..."

Fu Qi and Shi Hui were helpless when they looked at the attendance rate. There was no money for publicity, and the audience had a stereotype of the leftists. The box office of the works in the past two years was not good. It was good enough to get more than 2 million.

"You idiot, you come here to watch a movie for no reason, do you want to join the Communist Party?"

"It's a horror movie, it's different!"

"What kind of horror movie can the Great Wall make? It's just a gimmick, a waste of money!"

"Since you're here, shut up!"

There are young people arguing below, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Liu Jialiang are all over the place, who still watches the leftists now? Only the half-buried old stubborn people from the mainland watch it.

Watching local movies, listening to Cantonese songs, speaking English, and eating Western food are the most fashionable nowadays.

The big theater with more than a thousand people was only about 30% full. After a while, the lights dimmed and the screen lit up, and the Hong Kong special edition of "Wrong Turn" began!

The beginning of the film is a photographer going to the island to collect folk songs. The unknown actor just needs to look good and be strong. Although Hong Kong is small, there are actually many countrysides, farmlands, mountains and forests, and there are countless small islands.

The male protagonist asked for directions at a small gas station. The people at the gas station were strange and spoke incomprehensible words. He saw a map hanging on the wall with a small road marked with a red line, and decided to follow the map.

He drove the car and turned to the small road. Suddenly, he saw an animal shot dead on the side of the road. The blood in the throat had dried up. When he was observing in confusion, he didn't expect that there was a car in front of him that was across the middle. He crashed into it.

It turned out that several young and beautiful men and women came to the island to camp, and their tires were pierced by iron nails.

"Wow, beautiful girl!"

"This one is good, with white skin, beautiful face and long legs!"

The young audience pointed at Liu Xuehua on the screen, and the other supporting roles were also good-looking.

Several major elements of horror movies have been clearly summarized in a movie called "The Cabin in the Woods": there must be a virgin heroine, a slut supporting role, a muscular strong man, a cannon fodder, and a crazy man who talks nonsense.

In horror movies, you must believe what the madman says!

"Wrong Turn" has a similar setting, with Liu Xuehua as the virgin heroine, a pair of promiscuous lovers, a cannon fodder, an emotionally unstable guy, and the male protagonist as a strong man with brains.

Both cars broke down and couldn't leave.

It was decided to leave the couple to watch the car, and the remaining four people went to the front for help.

The couple was promiscuous, so they waited and waited and did a kind of repeated sprinting exercise. A minute later, the woman was resting in the car and the man was strolling outside.

The woman found that the man was missing and went into the woods to look for him, but saw a bloody ear. The audience let out a low cry, and just when the low cry was not over, the first mutant ogre suddenly appeared behind her.

Holding a piece of wire in his hand, he put it on her mouth and pulled it back hard.

The woman was like the legendary Japanese woman with a slit mouth. The corners of her mouth were exaggeratedly turned to the sides, her tongue was bleeding, and she was dragged away struggling desperately.

For a movie like this, the first thing you see is the tension. The hidden murderer never shows his face, and he kills the protagonists like hunting prey. The second thing you see is the way of killing, which should be varied.

This ogre never shows his face, only his body is shown.

"Wow!"

"So cruel!"

"The left actually made such a movie, wow, look at her mouth!"

The low cry from the audience was choked back, rolled in the throat for a few times, and burst out again, with eyes wide open, incredible.

On the other side, the four found a small wooden house. When they went in, they found it dirty and tattered. A large iron pot was stewing unknown food, and bottles and jars were filled with things that looked like internal organs.

The heroine found a group photo, which seemed to be a couple and their children, but the children didn't look normal.

"The people on it are so weird!"

"What's wrong?"

"I can't tell, it's so weird anyway!"

Chen Qi laid out all kinds of details to suggest that the ogre is a descendant of the Japanese, such as the tattered helmets in the room, the molds used to make sushi, etc. He has his own bad taste and added a lot of things.

The four felt something was wrong and were about to flee, but the ogre came back in a Japanese military truck with two preys - the couple.

The four had to hide and watch the ogre make dark food: human sushi!

"Wow!"

The audience screamed more and more. In this era, this kind of movie has exceeded their cognition, and some people have guessed: "Is it Japanese?"

"Of course it is, so perverted!"

"Sushi! Damn!"

The ogre was full and slept soundly. The four wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but woke them up and started chasing and killing them.

The protagonists died one by one, and only the male and female protagonists were left. The male and female protagonists also found some information, photos and diaries in another room. This was a biochemical experimental base set up by the Japanese army when they occupied Hong Kong.

The Japanese army was defeated and evacuated, and wanted to destroy the evidence and kill the researchers together. As a result, a man and a woman survived by chance, but their bodies had mutated. They lived in seclusion here and had children.

The children committed incest and gave birth to an 8-year-old giant child.

"Wow, I said it was the Japanese!"

"Such a perverted thing is not strange at all for them!"

Some people cursed in Mandarin or even in the local dialect: "Kill the Japanese devils!"

The male and female protagonists of "Wrong Turn" are rare and brave. They cooperated to kill two ogres and left the 8-year-old giant child.

Liu Xuehua changed the weak image of her previous roles and drove the car to ram the ogres against the wall. The male protagonist picked up an old gun left by the Japanese and blew up the fuel tank with one shot.

Bang!

In order to save costs, there was no big explosion scene, but it was also satisfactory.

The two finally killed each other and escaped.

The 90-minute movie is not long, with a tight rhythm, one wave after another, and there is almost no time to breathe. When it ends, the audience seems to breathe a sigh of relief. The stimulation of watching the movie touches the physiological function, making the brain particularly excited.

Commonly known as: It's fun to watch!

"What a great movie!"

"It's not in vain, you're still blaming me, bring your girlfriend next time!"

"It's too disgusting, I don't want to watch it anymore!"

"I think it's okay, very exciting! The Great Wall is good this time, what did they shoot before? I came here to watch movies, not to get educated."

Everyone left in twos and threes.

Fu Qi was watching them from upstairs. Although the number of viewers was still small, he had a hunch that this movie would make money! Western-style horror movies are not very popular in Hong Kong, but there are a group of die-hard fans who love this type of movie.

Especially for the low cost, the rate of return will be considerable.

"Xuehua, you performed so well!"

Shi Hui took Liu Xuehua's hand and praised her generously, saying: "This is called the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, your movie will definitely be a hit."

"I..."

Liu Xuehua hesitated to speak, she wanted to say that she was going to leave, but looking at the situation, it would be better to wait and see, anyway, it will expire next year.

…

In the second half of 1980, the left reappeared in the main sections of the Hong Kong film industry and media in a way that no one could have imagined. The Hong Kong media used exaggerated words such as "the world is upside down, the world is out of order" to describe it.

"The Great Wall Company, which has always liked to educate people, has opened its eyes for the first time this time. The blood plasma is three feet thick, the killing method is pure and experienced, the cannibal is weird and cute, and the male and female protagonists have brains. It is a good commercial film with a promising future!"

"The left no longer shoots political propaganda films, but horror films. It seems that the atmosphere in the mainland has really changed!"

"The nature is the same. In the end, they all blame the Japanese. Although they are right, I hate the Japanese very much!"

Wong James also jumped out to comment:

"The scale is larger than local films, and the style is closer to the United States, which is very suitable for the climate of the mainland. As far as the movie is concerned, except for the lack of cost, it is a bit rough, it is still a fine product."

Wong James wrote "My Chinese Heart". He was a rightist in the early days and later became a leftist.

He even joined a rightist organization, but quit after a short while because he found that the freedom and democracy that the gang claimed was bullshit!

Regardless, Wrong Turn became a minor hit.

Especially after ten days of release, the box office figures exceeded 2 million, which is the best performance of the left in recent years. They don't expect to have the performance of Jackie Chan, and they are very satisfied with 4 or 5 million.

"That little comrade gave us a big gift!"

(Thanks to Chen Jinyan's Xu Yan's leader...

No more!)
