In 2019, a Hong Kong drama caught fire.
Niche themes, mediocre casts, actually counterattacked into the high reputation of the year.
The second part was quickly renewed, but everyone waited and waited for no movement, but waited for wave after wave of epidemics, and the world changed a few times...
Some people say: I still remember the first broadcast when I was lost, and in the blink of an eye, 2022, I haven't come out yet...
More precious music tonight: Tan Jiayi - More precious tonight
It was once rumored that the scale of the second part was too large to pass the trial, and everyone scattered...
Who knows that the catch is not enough to prevent the fixed file, before the Qingming Festival, it should be broadcast on the spot.
Just hearing the theme song, it's a second back to that year...
It's not easy to wait for it: "Golden Night Building 2"
(This push does not have a horror screen, you can eat it with confidence)
A hospital in Hong Kong.
Doctors are doing their best to rescue an elderly man.
After some intense maneuvering, the patient regained his heartbeat...
However, a father and son outside the ward were very disappointed: Mother, the dead old man is still angry!
The elderly have advanced cancer, which has been delayed for half a year, and it seems that time is running out. But the father and son did not even want to wait for this little time, and came to the hospital every day to wait for his death.
They are not related to the old man, why do they do this?
It turned out that many years ago, there were four close friends who were like brothers and sisters, because they were poor, pooled their money to buy a unit in the Jinxiao Building.
It is said that this situation is very good to deal with, each person is divided into a quarter of the real estate, but the four of them have a whimsical, set a "long-life contract": who dies, it is automatically removed from the real estate certificate, who has the longest life, the house belongs to whom.
They did not expect that the house price has soared in recent years, and the units bought by thirty or forty thousand in that year have soared to ten million...
The welfare that was kindly left to the longest life has now become the most popular feast for future generations.
Four old friends, two have passed away, leaving only Lao Bai lying in the hospital waiting to die, and Lao Chen, who runs a funeral business.
The father and son who went to the hospital to wait for Lao Bai to die were Lao Chen's sons and grandsons.
Lao Bai and Lao Chen dou have a long life, the former has no chance of winning, after all, Lao Chen is alive and well, and he can also get through the night mahjong...
The three old Chen grandchildren only need to wait patiently, and the house is fixed.
But they want to be demons: the practice of opening the altar, cursing the old white.
However, the operation is reversed, that is, to help lao Bai make a wish and accumulate merit.
"May the African people be able to eat enough, dress warmly, and read books for everyone, and I am willing to sacrifice thirty years for this..."
Grandpa cast a spell, the grandson called out to the insider, sure enough, ginger is old spicy, can there be a kind of play?!
It's just that Lao Bai is already dying, where is there still thirty years of life to fold? Who will bear the rest?
Retribution comes.
It's night.
Grandpa is so dead that he gets up to steal milk tea...
Good to die, the soles of the feet slipped, a head fell, stainless steel straws stuck into the eye sockets...
He's dead.
Netizen bullet screen: away from the original spectrum! Scared me to throw away the steel straw at home, is the screenwriter telling us not to drink milk tea in the middle of the night?
What's even more outrageous is that after a few hours of death, he actually faked his body, with straws in his face, and went back and forth in the room...
The son and grandson were not lightly frightened, but as soon as they thought that the old man died in front of Lao Bai, the ten million house would have to be handed over to others, and he immediately regained his composure.
They decided to put on makeup and embalming the body first, pretending he was alive...
But, they can hide the corpse, they can't hide the smell of the corpse...
On April 4, "Jinxiao Building 2" began broadcasting, and it rushed to The Douban with 8.8 points as soon as it came up, surpassing the first part.
The crow brushed 5 episodes in one go, the episode can not be said to be perfect, and even a bit of a mash-up...
As a netizen commented: You think it's fashion, it starts to haunt, you think it's suspenseful, it starts idolizing, you think it's love, it starts to pinprick again, you think it's reality, well, it starts to cross...
For example, the plot of drinking milk tea in the middle of the night to die, the evil has made a separation spectrum, and the emotional line of the male and female protagonists is a bit reluctant, driving without a word, not natural enough...
But the reason why everyone scored high, I know too well!
First of all, everyone really waited too long, and they could actually wait for the original team, even the little black cat named "Liang Bao" was still there, and the crew was too sincere!
Second, as we all know, the modern theme of the mainland film and television dramas, can not appear ghosts, related works, basically all rely on Hong Kong and Taiwan regions in the support ...
So when you encounter this kind of work, see and cherish it.
When the first part was broadcast, the crow had written that the gloomy Golden Night Building actually had a realistic prototype: the Champagne Building.
Champagne Building, invested by the Fok family in 1957.
At that time, it was the tallest building and top residence in Tsim Sha Tsui, and countless celebrities stayed in, and dignitaries and celebrities from all walks of life also frequently came and went...
It can be said that it was once in full swing and the scenery was infinite.
However, with the development of Hong Kong's economy, more and more commercial buildings have sprung up, and the Champagne Building has begun to decline.
Since the 1990s, it has been occupied by gangsters and once became a well-known red light district in Hong Kong.
In its heyday, the "two hundred phoenixes on the first floor" was famous, and countless prostitutes were here to have fun...
It wasn't until 2017, when the police conducted a large-scale anti-pornography operation, that the site was completely destroyed.
The two parts before and after "Golden Night Building" are similar in structure, both of which are based on the love stories of heroes and heroines in different time and space, and string together various supernatural events that occur in the building: the elevator that suddenly goes up and down, the haunted black cat, the ghost girlfriend, the black-eyed baby...
But at present, in addition to the two parts occurring in the same building, there are some small details of linkage, the basic relationship is not large, the male and female protagonists also have new identities, new relationships, if you have not seen 1, it does not affect the view of 2.
As we all know, Western ghost films are always pursuing the bloody cruelty of the picture, the strange horror of the atmosphere, the ghost stories of the East, and they prefer to tell the retribution of fate, the infatuation and resentment, the obsession that cannot be put down, the desire that cannot be abandoned...
The "Golden Night Mansion" series has never won with exciting pictures, its creepy, gloomy, more from the atmosphere creation, and the story plot of the careful thinking is extremely frightening.
For example, in a small elevator space, flashing lights;
For example, in the dark corridor, a small ball suddenly appears bouncing;
For example, the sudden appearance of a woman in red with a shawl;
For example, facing a wall, a woman suddenly starts talking to herself...
Without a drop of blood, just the look in his eyes makes people shudder.
Wu Yongwei's performance is absolutely amazing, this is to take the rhythm of the best female supporting actress
After watching five episodes, the crow's personal perception is that the second part is more terrifying and dark than the first.
It seems to confirm the previous rumors of "not passing the trial"...
Before said good on a cool platform can not, and it is not easy to go online buried heap version, compared to the version broadcast by Hong Kong Jade Tv, deleted some, and dealt with some ...
But for timid friends, it may be more suitable for the deleted version, when the horror picture is about to appear, there are netizens bullet screen reminder "high energy ahead", which can be psychologically built in advance.
In addition, according to the introduction of the network transmission, the horror level of some of the units in the back is explosive, and if necessary, it can be detoured or watched during the day when there are many people.
Of course, as a loyal fan of this drama, I must clarify that "Golden Night Mansion" has never been to promote strange forces and chaos, feudal superstition, and the biggest attraction is not a stimulating picture.
The most terrifying thing is not ghosts, but the human heart.
Around this point, it made a big fuss, integrated into local news hotspots, social chaos, and market rumors, and became a story of lamentation.
As a netizen commented: Spirituality, suspense and fantasy are just shells, the world under the supernatural is varied, the human feelings under the suspense are cold and warm, and the thought-provoking under the fantasy is the soul of the "Golden Night Mansion" series of stories.
In the first story of the second part, buying a house is the pain of all Hong Kong people.
Hong Kong has little land, tens of millions of land, how many people have been in debt for a lifetime, but also secretly rejoice and successfully get on the bus.
For a unit, the grandchildren have gone to great lengths to sell their souls and flesh and bones, as if it were a metaphor: How many people in this world, in order to get a house, sell their lives and leave their family affection behind?
The second story unfolds with online misery, mother control over her daughter, suffocating PUA between parents and children, violence in the name of love, more terrifying than horror movies...
I remember that in the first part, the unit that made the crows most difficult to let go of was "Crow Crow". (Note: This sentence is not a matryoshka doll)
"Raven Wu Po" is a folklore in Guangdong, I believe that readers who grew up in the Pearl River Delta have been threatened since childhood: if you disobey, you will be caught by Crow Crow Po...
In this story, the little boy Dongdong was taken away by the crow.
However, he did not disobey, but voluntarily went with the crow.
In his original life, he obviously had parents who loved him, but he was not happy at all.
Dad is a bus driver, desperately trying to solicit customers, and can't make much money, mom is a hard-working sales manager, often have to endure the customer's pickiness and unreasonable teasing.
A "poor couple" forced by the pressure of life, do not have much time to accompany their children, but put all their hopes on their sons, they desperately save money, chicken babies, and do everything possible to let their sons go to prestigious schools...
However, on the day of the interview at the famous school, Dongdong accidentally heard that the children in the same competition could go to the famous school without spending any effort, only because "Dad donated 1 million yuan to the school."
Dongdong's mentality collapsed, he worked so hard to match his parents' expectations, wanted to win at the starting line, did not expect that people were already sprinting as soon as they were born.
He would rather be taken away by the crow crow and go to a paradise where there is no competition and no parents.
He said: It's too hard to be an adult, I don't want to be an adult, I don't want to grow up.
Although this is a supernatural story, the details are so real.
Social injustice, the environment is quick to make quick gains, and the excessive manipulation of parents make a child lose a beautiful childhood and lose his expectations for the future.
It is all the sins of adults, but children are required to bear them.
It is mentioned in the play that there are three kinds of death, one is physical death; one is the death of social disappearance; and the last is the death of being forgotten by everyone.
The child who is taken away by the crow is the third kind of death.
The dongdong in the play is gradually forgotten, he disappears from the photo, and the note he writes becomes a blank piece of paper...
How different is this from the reality that the needs of countless children are ignored, the call for love is not answered, and eventually self-exile?
Since the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong-style supernatural stories have sprouted, grown, spread and blossomed in this land, and the vitality seems endless...
But every ghost blockbuster, in the final analysis, is a human story.
It indicts the evil of the world, laments the suffering of all beings, and understands the greed and hatred of the world with compassion and tolerance;
It also responds to the simplest and most basic moral demands of generations of Chinese: fairness, justice, kindness and love.
