Chapter 203: Hong Kong Movies
After leaving the Hong Kong International Airport, Kishimoto and his entourage stayed at a hotel near Central instead of going to the office in Central.
He went into his room, picked up the remote control in the living room of the suite, and turned on the TV. A Hong Kong movie is playing on a TV screen.
At this time, Hong Kong movies were already in decline, and they had long lost the glory of the past. In the glory days of Hong Kong cinema, a Hong Kong star was able to start filming multiple films at the same time, moving from one set to another, and from another set to the next......
Masayoshi Kishimoto's eyes stared at the picture on the TV, and his mind immediately recalled the past of his previous life in the 90s. The first thing he thought of was the "Crazy Boy" series of movies.
I was still in junior high school at that time, and even if I was a good student with excellent character and learning in the eyes of my teachers, I couldn't resist its charm. The "Puzzle Boy" series of movies is so popular in Chinese mainland that it is not good.
Chen Haonan played by Ekin Cheng, pheasant played by Chen Xiaochun, and their gang of children who have played from childhood to adulthood, foreskin, and nest skin.
The rest of the characters in the movie, such as Big B, Big Fei, Little Stammer, etc., are all deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Villains such as Shuai Kun, Crow, Yaoyang, etc., are also fresh in people's memories.
To this day, he can clearly remember many related film and television clips in the movie, after all, it is the first time he has seen this kind of movie with club members as the protagonists.
Of course, the "Puzzle Boy" series of movies has really negatively affected many people in Chinese mainland, teaching them badly, thus causing a series of social problems.
This can say a few black words at the time, talking about the righteousness in the "Crazy Boy" series of movies, which is something that feels like a lot of face, especially among middle school students in the rebellious period of youth.
In the past, Kishimoto Masayoshi didn't think that Shuai Kun's explanation of the traditional Chinese word "righteousness" was a lot of feelings, or that he just felt that the villain was talking nonsense. To this day, he feels that the other party is right. The traditional Chinese character for "righteousness" was broken down by him, that is, I am the lamb.
From his perspective today, the "Crazy Boy" series of movies also reflects the way that people at the bottom of society want to break through the ceiling of class.
If you don't have any books, don't have the professional skills of a skill, and can't endure any hardships, if you want to gain a foothold in society, it will inevitably become quite difficult.
With a meager salary, he worked boring and mechanical, but he had to work day after day, year after year. They desire to flow upward, but they are lawless.
So, the kind of gangsters and hooligans in the "Crazy Boy" series of movies, they can beat whoever they want, cut whoever they want, and kill whoever they want...... It satisfies their various needs from material to spiritual to the greatest extent.
Earlier, when I was still in elementary school in my previous life, the videotapes played by a Panasonic VCR at home were all positive police images played by Li Xiuxian who fought violence and were good.
At that time, as soon as people heard that it was a Hong Kong robber film, they would immediately regard it as fragrant and sweet. This is nothing more than a movie composed of gunfights, car chases and other elements that later generations felt were vulgar and impossible.
Almost identically, the police defeated the bandits, and the power of evil was once again wiped out by the power of justice.
It doesn't matter if it's a good shot or a bad shot. Anyway, as soon as mainlanders hear that it is a Hong Kong movie, some people will watch it. Even in South Korea, it's the same.
In "Please Answer 1988", Cheng Deshan and a group of people got together and watched "The True Colors of Heroes" with relish. It can be seen from this that the influence of Hong Kong films in the glory days is unprecedented.
Masayoshi Kishimoto remembers very clearly that the first videotape he first rented was a Hong Kong film. Huang Baiming starred in a comedy "Happy Ghost".
At that time, in addition to the deposit, you also had to deposit an ID card. He didn't, so he had to steal his father's or mother's ID card to rent a video to take home to watch.
For households without VCRs, the most casual way is to install CCTV. For this reason, he also remembers very clearly that Hong Kong's Phoenix Satellite TV is not called Phoenix Satellite TV, but is called Hong Kong Satellite TV Chinese Channel.
The first time I knew that the world had Garfield, a lazy orange fat cat cartoon, was from Hong Kong Satellite TV's Chinese channel.
Not only cartoons, TV series, even if it's just an advertisement, you will feel good. The "News Network", which appears every night at seven o'clock on each station, has also replaced the highest rating.
Later, one reason was to ban the Chinese channel of Hong Kong Satellite TV in Chinese mainland. What was originally a medium window for the general public to understand the outside world is completely gone.
Hong Kong people have been influenced by both Chinese culture and British culture. In addition, its economic location advantage is good, and its economic development started early, which has caused Hong Kong people to look down on the mainland.
This sense of superiority can be seen everywhere in early Hong Kong films, and it is clearly discriminatory, if not deliberately discredited.
They are not mainlanders like they called Chinese mainland after the economy became more economical in later generations, but called men mainland boys and women mainland sisters.
Even in 1999, there are still a lot of girls who want to marry Hong Kongers. They just want to change their fate by marrying.
Other than that, it's the Taiwanese. As for the Macau people, there are really few. In fact, the main reason is that there are only a few people in Macao, about 800,000.
There are more than 7 million people in Hong Kong, while more than 20 million people are in Taiwan. Then there are overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia and other countries.
And most of these people who come to Chinese mainland, whether they are people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, or the so-called returned overseas Chinese, are middle and lower classes, and even people who can't find wives locally.
When Chinese mainland's economy did not really rise, let alone five-star hotels, even three-star hotels were great places for ordinary people.
The people who can get in and out of it are naturally unusual. As soon as a woman is married, she and her relatives and friends will go to the coveted local high-end place for the first time in their lives to meet the world.
Kishimoto is well aware that not only Japan has strange laws, but Hong Kong also has strange laws. Before the 70s of the 20th century, Chinese in Hong Kong could still legally take concubines.
Not only Hong Kong, but also Macao and Taiwan can legally take concubines for a long period of time. The typical representative of Macau is the famous gambling king Stanley Ho.
He has four wives. The typical representative of Taiwan is Wang Yongqing of Formosa Plastics Group. He is a wife of three rooms. Should he be on par with them? He couldn't help but smile that he should surpass them.
