Chapter 905: Smearing

After the release of A Chinese Ghost Story, it received almost one-sided praise, whether it was the special effects of the movie or the over-analyzed Zhengzhi satirical core, the audience and professional filmmakers gave extremely high praise.

In comparison, the cousin Hello, who is also very hot, has a mixed reputation.

Some people like it to laugh from beginning to end, and some people scold it for its description of the mainland.

Hello cousin, don't look at the box office in Hong Kong, but in the original time and space, it is a film that has been banned.

Of course, in this time and space, it is also destined to be banned.

Because in the eyes of mainlanders at this time, this film is satirical and smears the mainland.

Even for the leftists at this time, this film is going to shout and kill.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the film's release, the leftist press criticized and denounced the film.

But if you talk about conscience or put it to future generations, this film is actually not smeared.

Because, in Qiao Feng's opinion, the depiction of the mainland may be exaggerated, but it really can't be regarded as fabrication.

At first, this film will make people think that it is a simple film that mocks and satirizes the mainland, just like many British films satirizing Americans or Americans satirizing British, it is just a common method of satirical use of popular films.

As for whether it is offensive to the satirized party, or it depends on the specific story setting, in terms of the modern social environment and the degree of civilization, there is generally no overly obvious one-sided sarcasm.

When I saw the previous part, the jokes of the story were basically contracted by Zheng Yuling's "ugly" posture. She spits, doesn't understand computers, doesn't know love hotels, takes a shower in her clothes, etc. The big grin style even single-handedly went directly to the suspect's office suspected by the police without evidence to take the other party away.

In a society like Hong Kong governed by the rule of law, such an act is undoubtedly both simple and stupid.

Anyone who only sees the reckless and ignorant Zheng Yuling in front of him will doubt the director's intentions.

However, as he continued to watch, the director quickly dispelled the prejudice of the viewer.

Zheng Yuling will have a unique way of interrogating witnesses, excellent marksmanship, daring to enter the tiger's den, courage and martial arts.

She looks fierce, and she is very timid when the elevator is out of power (I later learned that it was because Wu Jingguan grabbed her hand).

Wearing an evening dress, she is as beautiful as a goddess, at the moment of life and death, but she can rush to sacrifice, and she will fight with her mouth, so that the villain does not dare to shoot.

Then after Zheng Yuling's image became three-dimensional and plump, the Hong Kong policeman played by Liang Jiahui slowly had a good impression of her.

At the same time, this is a film that allows people to look at the relationship between the country from the perspective of a third party.

In the mainland, because of the opposition between the two dang, the remarks that I have been exposed to since childhood are how our party is how to be wise and how the Kuomintang party is fandong, and in Taiwan it is the opposite.

But hello cousin, I more or less expressed some neutral views on Hong Kong, which is still under British control, and is somewhat afraid of 97, outside of the duality of the two dang.

My cousin went to Liang Jiahui's house to live temporarily, Liang's father was a Kuomintang officer, and it can be seen from the full foreshadowing in front that the opposition between the two parties is an important factor in generating laughter.

That night, Liang's father sang "Three People's Principles, the sect of our party, to build the Republic of China, to enter the Datong ......"

My cousin listened to a grunt next door and got up and said, "Reactionary song!"

In fact, most of the people under the orthodox red education did not know that this was a reactionary song.

Everyone in the original time and space knows that Ah Mei was banned because of the national anthem incident, but I'm afraid I don't know that it is this "national anthem".

The lyrics of the Kuomintang are crepe and the tune is slow.

The lyrics of the revolutionary songs are simple and clear, and the music is also passionate and energetic. The cultural composition of the two parties is different, and the cultural level of the propaganda target may also determine the difference in the "main theme" of the two parties.

The two parties finally united in nothing, and my cousin said happily, "I finally sang domestic works" Liang's father was not angry, "You look at the lyrics first" My cousin didn't care "I have nothing, it's ordinary, everyone is like this, sleep!"

The main creators of the movie are all Hong Kong people, and the film is mainly released in Hong Kong, and the main perspective of this movie is Hong Kong people.

So this film naturally holds the point of view of Hong Kong people: I respect what my father's generation insists on, and I appreciate some of the advantages that mainlanders have, "Hong Kong people, mainlanders, and Taiwanese are all CHINESE" This is what the Hong Kong policeman played by Liang Jiahui, who grew up in Hong Kong, said when Lao Guomin's father quarreled with Zheng Yuling from the mainland.

This sentence is probably the real meaning that the screenwriter and director of this film want to express.

This is 1990, and there are still 7 years to return, in fact, just watch some Hong Kong movies over the years, you can find that there are many people in Hong Kong who want to hurry up and immigrate before Huigui, and some people are full of expectations for Huigui.

This film was made by people with such expectations.

Time flies, the wheel of history rolls for twenty years, thirty years, and then watching this film in 1990, when I see the old stubborn father of the male protagonist and his old guoming party comrades-in-arms to rescue the heroine who was once regarded as a hostile force to each other, it can still make people cry.

No matter what doctrine or faction, in fact, everyone has a common goal and can cooperate.

In 1990, people in the mainland may think that this film smears the mainland, but when the development of the mainland is changing with each passing day, 30 years after the self-confidence of both individuals and nationalities has risen, if you look at this film objectively, you will find that the three views of this film are very positive.

But there is no way, this is 90 years, whether it is the overall national strength or national self-confidence, the mainlanders are far inferior to the post-30s.

Naturally, even if many scenes in this movie are facts, it is inevitable that people in the mainland are too glassy, and naturally they can't see Mount Tai.

A Chinese Ghost Story 2, which is also considered to contain political metaphors, is more acceptable than a straightforward description of Cousin Hello in the mainland.

Even, if it weren't for some people who are too conspiracy theories, too smeared paranoia, and too sensitive, they can't actually see the so-called irony and metaphor in this film.

But in fact, this film is the real zhengzhi metaphor.

In this year's Hong Kong movies, in fact, many of them have fengci for the mainland.

But generally speaking, it's all a passing pass, like cousin, hello, and the three views are very positive.

But for A Chinese Ghost Story 2, you can look at it as a simple martial arts movie, or you can look at it as a ghost movie.

But it's also a Zhengzhi film dressed in ghost films, fairy films.
