Chapter 949: A Strong Opponent

In the midst of the praise, the Golden Horse Awards ushered in the announcement of the list of nominees on September 15, and it is no surprise that the rolling red dust has become the biggest winner of the award nominations, including a total of 10 important awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Editing.

And the only one who can be nominated for a long time with the rolling red dust is the season of the feature film Love in Another Country produced by Golden Harvest, which has received a total of nine nominations.

The two films are competing for awards in five important nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, and the season of Love in Another Country is definitely the biggest opponent of the rolling red dust.

Because of the season of love in another country, the theme of this film is really suitable for winning awards.

Don't look at it as an adaptation, and the story told and the protagonist of the story are also half a biography, and it is also an easy subject to win awards, but compared with the season of love in another country, it is really a little worse.

Especially at the Golden Horse Awards, the difference between the two themes will have a greater impact on the results.

Because the season of love in another country is about how hard and sad it is for mainlanders to immigrate overseas in this era.

In the past few years, there have been many movies that have explored the issue of immigration, among which Zhang Wanting's immigration trilogy is one of the best, and the autumn fairy tale is a classic in the history of Hong Kong films.

But the seasons of love in another country are not the same as the immigration trilogy.

Although they all tell the story of American immigrants, there is a huge gap in the cruelty of the living conditions.

Like Ba Liang Jin is about a taxi driver who smuggled into the United States for 1 6 years, "Eight Liang Jin" borrowed eight taels of gold jewelry from relatives and friends in order to return to his hometown, but after returning to his hometown of Shantou, he found that his family had moved to Taishan, so he asked his childhood rival "Wuzui Po" and his brother to go to Taishan together.

On the way, the black-mouthed woman lived up to her "reputation", and kept nagging all the way, and her brother was also naughty and mischievous, which was extremely funny. After a series of accidents, the two rivals finally poured out their long-hidden love in their hearts.

The performances of the two protagonists are very good, and many details of the whole movie are also quite moving, the first part is more exaggerated and funny, and the second part is more humane, although the ending is helpless and more sad, but on the whole it is still warm.

Autumn fairy tales are even more of a romance film.

Li Qi, a beautiful and arrogant young girl, went to New York to study for her boyfriend from Hong Kong and visited her boyfriend who went to the United States before her.

The one who came to pick her up at the airport turned out to be a distant relative and a captain ruler who worked in Chinatown.

Li Qi soon found out that her boyfriend was empathetic and disheartened, and locked herself in the room. Poisoned by a gas leak at home, he was fortunate to be taken care of by the bow ruler downstairs, and he recovered quickly, and gradually built up his confidence to concentrate on his studies and work.

The foul-mouthed, vulgar bow ruler is regarded as a "rotten ghost". But he fell in love with Li Qi for a long time and began to quit smoking and gambling.........

Li Qi gradually understood his intentions, because the wound of his first love had not yet healed, and the lifestyle, thoughts, and interests of the two were very different, so he did not express his position. In the autumn, Li Qi accepted a new job in Yuandi, and the bow ruler was saddened, and the two always kept their emotions deep in their hearts

A few years later, the bow ruler finally fulfilled his promise and opened a restaurant by the sea, and after a successful career, Li Qi strayed into the vicinity of his restaurant, and the two reunited in the place where they had previously dreamed of starting a business.

Although the autumn fairy tale is an open-ended ending, anyone will continue to have a happy ending to this story.

This is a more heartwarming movie than eight taels of gold.

In comparison, the illegal immigrants in the first part of Zhang Wanting's immigration trilogy are more similar to the season of love in another country.

But it's just like.

For example, the ink dots have been changed from Hong Kong youth to mainland youth.

For example, they all tell the story of the hardships of Chinese youth who have no legal status in Chinatown in the United States.

However, although Zhang Junqiu, the protagonist of illegal immigration, is facing the dilemma of unemployment and deportation, he has no choice but to use the method of fake marriage, handing over half of the daily income from working to Li Xuehong, a Chinese-American, in order to achieve the transaction of fake marriage, in order to pay the gratuity and smuggling fees of the fake marriage, he works hard all day.

But at least he's living like a human being.

The season of love in another country is different in this movie.

This movie does not have a trace of warmth except for the title.

The world of this movie is full of cruelty, cruelty and coldness, and the atmosphere is extremely oppressive and sad.

The movie tells the story of a couple in Panyu, who caught up with the fever of going abroad in the late eighties, and his wife Li Hong worked hard to learn English and went to the consulate every three months to apply for a visa.

Wearing clothes after the end of the *****, it talks about the shadows that fell from a period, which sounds ridiculous and sad.

But every time, she was denied a visa on the grounds that she was too beautiful or single. So she married Mr. Zhou Nansheng, a teacher, and finally got a visa at the consulate after giving birth to a child.

When she first arrived in the United States, she wrote from time to time, saying that she wanted to go home, but her husband Nansheng told her not to go home.

The letters became fewer and fewer, and finally, Nan Sheng received a letter asking him to apply for a divorce immediately, and many letters were returned after that.

......

What happened to Li Hong?

Husband Nan Sheng smuggled to New York with these problems to find his wife.

When Nansheng arrived in New York, he brought a red book printed with "**** service", an enamel cup from the sixties, and a shabby tunic suit.

The language barrier, he went to find a classmate (painter) in New York who he knew in the past, but the painter classmate was extremely enthusiastic, and during the meal, the painter classmate touched the wine glass and said: "If you have a bite of me, you will have a mouthful, don't talk about money, live with confidence", but suddenly pushed him out of the door that night when Nansheng was defenseless.

When Nansheng was wandering the streets, his leather shoes were also stolen by beggars. But because of chaos, he met Jane, a 15-year-old special services worker with Chinese ancestry, and he searched for his wife Li Hong according to the clues. So with the narration of different acquaintances of Li Hongren, section by section, paragraph by paragraph, Li Hong's inhuman life in the past year appeared.

The film is filled with a lot of cold scenes on the streets of the United States, which is not at all the glamorous lights of the past, which may be closer to the real living conditions of the American underclass. From the dilapidated area inhabited by Chinese and blacks, the gray and yellow buildings, from the English teacher to the Taiwanese convenience store, Nan Sheng learned little by little about his wife's living conditions, many of which he couldn't bear to read.

Li Hong has lived in an underground house in the United States for the past year, almost being forced, and married the old shopkeeper for a green card, but the money was swept away, and the life was extremely bitter, due to poverty, she was sick and lived in a dark and damp basement, just like a prison cell, and a wedding photo was clearly hung on the wall.

In the process of delivering a letter on a certain day, the two met unexpectedly. Li Hong's care and helplessness, Nan Sheng was joyful and shocked...... The warmth of a night blends with the hardships and bitterness of the past, as if it is still the past, as if it is still so full of poverty and happiness.

However, how can such happiness, warmth, and fulfillment express the director's irony of social reality.

And so the happiness came to an abrupt end.

The next day, Li Hong suddenly became another person, screaming fiercely and then leaving fiercely, all kinds of foul language, all kinds of contempt and ridicule, New York has completely changed her. And Nan Sheng finally died at Li Hong's panicked hands this morning.

The change came so suddenly that people couldn't figure out why such a huge change happened to Li Hong just overnight.

However, from Li Hong's words of scolding Nan Sheng, it seems that she feels that she is a stranger to Nan Sheng completely.

Later, Nansheng followed Li Hong and revealed the truth of the matter.

It turned out that Li Hong was crazy.

It may not be accurate to say that she is crazy, she is sick and mentally ill.

For a year, cannibalistic New York drove a kind and beautiful woman crazy.

Therefore, when Nan Sheng appeared in front of Li Hong again, Li Hong, who had been forced to be forced, took out the weapon he had been carrying with him, and a steel cone pierced Nan Sheng's chest.

At the end of the film, Li Hong, who was wearing heavy makeup, was at a loss, and in the pool of blood was a family photo of Nansheng and Li Hong's family of three, and Nansheng's red book printed with "*** service" and an old fountain pen on the ground were dripping with blood in the rainy day......

"Homesickness, ancestors are determined to leave Tangshan, I don't know what the background of leaving home is?"

"Can the heart be satisfied? This kind of foreign land has nothing to do with us"

The theme song is full of sorrow.

Such a film with the characteristics of the times and a satire on social reality is naturally favored by the judges of major film festivals.

Fortunately, such a film, which is really a strong opponent in the awards, was not nominated for Best Actress.

This is the best news for Qiao Feng and Lin Qingxia.
